Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

Nan Fusheng could sense a fluctuation of soul power below, but because of the distance, he could only vaguely perceive it.

"Let's go down and take a look. Anyway, I'm just a clone right now."

Perhaps because this was not the original body, Nan Fusheng's reckless genes began to slowly emerge, and he also wanted to test the body's abilities in other aspects.

The bluebird began to slowly fly downwards, gradually approaching the location where it had just sensed the fluctuation of soul power.

Even so, Nan Fusheng still felt that the bluebird he was controlling was starting to sluggish, which was due to the suppression from its bloodline.

"The suppression of races and bloodlines among soul beasts is really too severe! Luckily, I wasn't reincarnated as a soul beast."

Despite its complaints, the bluebird slowly flapped its wings and perched on the top of a large tree, looking down.

What came into view was a bear, devouring the carcass of a monkey. The monkey was dark red all over, not very large, but its arms were quite thick.

But at this moment, those thick arms were bent outwards completely, as if they had been forcibly bent by some enormous force.

"This is a thousand-year-old Mighty Ape. Mighty Apes are known for their strength. Among soul beasts of the same age, few can match its strength. What soul beast could kill it so easily?"

Nan Fusheng turned his gaze to the other side.

It was a giant bear with dark golden fur all over its body, over three meters tall, with particularly thick arms and broad, majestic shoulders like a city wall.

At the ends of the two thick arms are incomparably sharp, dark golden claws, each claw being over a meter long.

"It's actually this guy."

Nan Fusheng recognized the soul beast in front of him. There was no way he wouldn't recognize it, because this guy was extremely famous in the world of soul beasts.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is hailed as one of the strongest creatures in the world of soul beasts.

Legend has it that among the powerful and ferocious beasts of ancient times, the Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear was one of them. Adult Dark Gold Devilclaw Bears have no natural enemies, and even true dragons might not be able to defeat them.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a solitary soul beast, and its strength, whether in offense or defense, is among the most formidable in the entire soul beast world.

The dark gold dinosaur bear in front of us looks only three meters tall, but it should be over a hundred years old. If it is, it would be very easy to deal with a thousand-year-old giant ape.

However, Nan Fusheng did not expect that he would encounter this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear here. This should be the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that gave Tang Wulin the external soul bone in the original work.

After all, it's impossible for a primary Spirit Ascension Platform to have two such top-tier soul beasts. After glancing at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was eating, Nan Fusheng flew away. This big guy was not someone he could mess with at the moment.

However, to Nan Fusheng's surprise, the moment it flew out of the forest, the dark gold dinosaur bear that was eating suddenly roared in the direction it was flying.

Nan Fusheng's body went limp, and he almost couldn't fly. He turned his head and saw that the dark gold dinosaur was staring intently at him.

"Damn it, all I did was see you eating, why are you being so fierce?"

Nan Fusheng immediately flapped his wings. This damn bloodline suppression is too outrageous! I'm just a bird, how can you, a bear that can't fly, suppress me so badly?

Before Nan Fusheng could think of anything, a dark golden light flashed and disappeared behind him. Without turning around, Nan Fusheng could clearly sense that his body had been cut into several pieces.

Chapter 52 Summary

"Ouch, that hurts, it hurts so much!"

In his dormitory, Nan Fusheng opened his eyes and couldn't help but gasp, thinking about how he was making a contribution to global climate change.

"Are top-tier soul beasts really this short-tempered? They attack without saying a word? Well, they are just wild beasts after all. How can we think about them with human logic?"

Nan Fusheng summarized his journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform, taking stock of his own condition when he possessed the Azure Bird, and whether there were any shortcomings. In the end, he inevitably thought of the scene of being torn to pieces.

"Being killed is nothing. But we still need to figure out whether this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was simply angry or sensed something was wrong with the Bluebird I was possessing."

This is the first time Nan Fusheng has deeply parasitized another creature. He needs to know whether his first soul skill has any flaws, otherwise he will have nowhere to cry if something goes wrong in the future.

Nan Fusheng thought about it for a moment, then put the question out of his mind, deciding to experiment again at the Spirit Ascension Platform later. This trip to the Spirit Ascension Platform also allowed Nan Fusheng to rediscover the platform and his own first soul skill.

First, regarding the Spirit Ascension Platform, Nan Fusheng was certain that the soul beasts inside were not entirely virtual. They might be spirits, or perhaps half-virtual and half-real, but Nan Fusheng was certain that those soul beasts inside at least possessed souls.

Nan Fusheng's first soul skill is a simplified version of his fourth skill in this pathway: 'Parasite'.

It can parasitize other organisms, even microorganisms. (Of course, Nanfusheng cannot parasitize microorganisms yet.)

But he can't yet reach the point where he can even parasitize 'inorganic matter'. Perhaps when Nan Fusheng becomes a true god, he can do it, but at least he can't do it now. And if he can parasitize a soul beast on the Ascension Platform, then that soul beast is definitely not an inanimate object.

Then came his first soul skill: Parasite. This was the true soul skill he had kept hidden away.

Leaving aside shallow parasitism, when Nanfusheng engages in deep parasitism, it can be divided into the following states:

The first method involves completely eliminating the consciousness of the host, thereby gaining complete control over the body.

The second type coexists with the consciousness of the host, lurking within the host's soul. Normally, it operates primarily under the host's consciousness, but can seize control of the body at any time.

It can guide or influence the emotions of the host, but there is also a certain risk of being resisted by the host.

However, due to the deep parasitism, his emotions and thoughts are synchronized with those of his host. He can detect any thought of resistance immediately.

The third type is fusion with the soul of the host. In this case, although the other party is also a clone of Nan Fusheng, it is due to the fusion with the soul of the host.

Personality will also undergo significant changes. The stronger the host, the more the host's personality will resemble the original personality, and vice versa.

However, its core entity remains Nan Fusheng, and that will not change!

This is how Nan Fusheng felt when he possessed the Bluebird. He could choose from three options: kill, coexist, or merge with the Bluebird, to decide how he wanted to parasitize it.

That night, Nan Fusheng thought a lot.

……

The next day, because he was thinking too much, he couldn't concentrate on his cultivation and left the dormitory early.

It was still early, and the sky outside was just beginning to lighten. After washing up, he walked to the vicinity of the playground, wanting to clear his head.

Upon arrival, they saw Tang Wulin running wildly across the playground, arms outstretched. He seemed rather mentally unstable.

It wasn't until a pink figure reappeared at the edge of the playground that Tang Wulin slowly returned to normal.

Nan Fusheng ignored Tang Wulin's enthusiastic interaction with his senior, and headed straight to the cafeteria to eat before going to the classroom.

……

"Tell me your feelings about yesterday's Spirit Ascension Platform," Wu Changkong said calmly to the six students in the classroom, standing behind the podium.

Zhang Yangzi had dark circles under her eyes today, clearly indicating she hadn't slept well last night. Wang Jinxi was the same. The difference was that Zhang Yangzi's dark circles were due to depression.

Wang Jinxi, on the other hand, was having nightmares. This child was probably the most miserable of all, having directly encountered the human-faced spider and been devoured in an extremely cruel way. He still hasn't recovered.

Xie Xie's complexion was also not good. Although he was not seriously injured in yesterday's bloody battle because of Nan Fusheng, his physical strength was severely depleted.

Moreover, I didn't realize it at the time, but when I went back to rest at night, I kept seeing images of blue wolves rushing towards me in my mind. I couldn't calm down and meditate at all. In the middle of the night, I rolled off the bed and woke up in a fright.

Tang Wulin was the only one with an excited expression. Soul evolution—what could be more exciting than that?

Nan Fusheng and Gu Yue's complexions were relatively normal, and they didn't seem to be any different.

"Follow the order in which you left the battlefield yesterday, Zhang Yangzi!" Seeing that no one was willing to speak up, Wu Changkong called on him directly.

"Yes!" Zhang Yangzi replied somewhat awkwardly, then stood up and said, "My performance yesterday was absolutely terrible. Teacher Wu, I was wrong."

Wu Changkong waved his hand, "There's no need to admit your mistakes to me. Your life is your own. You still have a chance to admit your mistakes. If you were really in the Soul Beast Forest yesterday, you would be nothing but a corpse now, or even just bones. Tell me how you feel. To the Ascension Platform, or to yourself."

Zhang Yangzi's facial muscles twitched awkwardly. "The world of the Ascension Platform is too real. I can't feel any illusion at all in it."

So, when I first entered, I was incredibly curious. I climbed the tree because I wanted to see further. Also, my martial spirit has a certain gliding ability, and I felt that from the treetop I could fly in multiple directions and also better observe everything around me.

"So, at the beginning, I didn't make any mistakes. My mistake was underestimating the enemy and being arrogant. I didn't observe the surrounding situation clearly, acted rashly, became the target of everyone's attacks, and was thus eliminated from the battlefield."

"Next time I go to the Ascension Platform, I will be extra careful and do my best to protect myself. I will strive to survive for a longer period of time."

After saying this, he sat down again.

Wu Changkong offered no comment, turning instead to Wang Jinxi, "And you?"

Wang Jinxi smiled bitterly, "Teacher Wu, I don't remember much else now. I only remember the face that fell from above, and then that chilling cold that seemed to freeze my soul. They're like my nightmares, constantly haunting me. I don't know what will happen if I encounter them again."

Chapter 53 Summary

Wu Changkong said, "You need to relax now. You'll gradually get better in a few days. Your situation is rather special. The Human-Faced Demon Spider is an extremely rare and powerful soul beast. It can hunt down a thousand-year-old soul beast with only a hundred years of cultivation. Dying at its hands is not shameful. But remember, the next time you encounter this kind of soul beast, press the rescue signal immediately. This time, it was dangerous for you to be killed by it directly in the Spirit Ascension Platform."

A dance teacher is comforting someone? That's extremely rare!

"Thank you, teacher."

The dance in the sky turns towards the ancient moon.

Gu Yue said, "The Spirit Ascension Platform is a very realistic world. I feel as if I have really entered an ancient forest. I think I like it there, I like it very much. In battle, the soul beasts are very realistic, and everything seems to be no different from the real thing."

"That's all?" Wu Changkong frowned slightly as he saw Gu Yue sit down again.

Gu Yue nodded.

Wu Changkong said, "Then explain to me how you found Tang Wulin?"

Gu Yue was taken aback. "Perhaps it was just a coincidence."

"A coincidence?" Wu Changkong narrowed his eyes slightly. "It can be said that Xie Xie and Nan Fusheng's encounter with Tang Wulin was a coincidence, because they were not far apart when they appeared in the Spirit Ascension Platform, and Xie Xie ran to Tang Wulin's vicinity in a chaotic manner."

Nan Fusheng, on the other hand, was initially very close to Tang Wulin. He got close because Xie Xie was being chased by that hundred-year-old two-legged unicorn dragon, which made too much noise.

But you are not. You are not close to Tang Wulin. As soon as you discovered the Millennium Crystal Bear, you immediately chose the direction to run away, and the direction you ran away from was Tang Wulin's location.

What makes me even less convinced that it's a coincidence is that your escape route adjusts according to Tang Wulin's location. That can't possibly be a coincidence.

"Yes, I have some tricks for controlling elements that I can attach to my companions, which will allow me to find them more clearly."
