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

Remember, inside, you might encounter not only soul beasts, but also other soul masters who have entered. They are equally dangerous to you. This is because, during the riot period, the absorption time for the spiritual energy generated by a soul beast after it has been hunted increases a hundredfold. In other words, it takes you a hundred seconds to absorb the spiritual energy from a soul beast you kill.

Therefore, if you leave the Spirit Ascension Platform during this process, the remaining spiritual energy will be absorbed by the nearest Soul Master. This is a special situation that only occurs during the Spirit Ascension Platform's turmoil period.

Zhang Yangzi said, "So, if others can steal our soul beast's spiritual power, we can also steal theirs?"

Wu Changkong said calmly, "If you're confident, you can certainly try to take others', but I need to remind you that the entry limit for the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform is the peak of the third ring. And to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform during the turmoil period requires a tremendous amount of effort. Therefore, many Soul Masters only gamble once they reach the peak of the third ring, hoping to kill more Soul Beasts to advance their Soul Spirit. So, the opponents you're about to face will be very strong."

Tang Wulin said, "Teacher, don't worry, we will rely on the strength of the group!"

Zhang Yangzi's relationship with everyone had already improved. After all, they were all young and naive, so how could they hold grudges? Especially with Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi's relationship becoming closer and closer.

The fact that Wang Jinxi and Tang Wulin were training together was no secret in Class Zero. With Tang Wulin's assistance, Wang Jinxi's soul power increased by two levels in three months, reaching level twenty-three, while Zhang Yangzi's was level twenty-two.

"You will enter the Ascension Platform in three days. You are given three days off to relax and prepare yourselves."

Holidays? Since entering the zero-shift system, apart from the routine one day off per week, there has never been an extra holiday.

"This is a three-day holiday!" Xie Xie and Zhang Yangzi cheered first.

Nan Fusheng's face also showed a thoughtful expression. Three days should be enough time for him to adapt to the new soul spirit and soul skills.

……

After school, everyone walked towards the dormitory together.

"Wu Lin, Fu Sheng, what are you two planning to do these three days? Why don't we go out and have some fun?" Xie Xie chuckled.

"Going out to play? What are we going to play?" Zhang Yangzi leaned over.

Xie Xie rolled his eyes. "I didn't tell you."

Xie Xie said, "That's something we can consider. Oh, right, I suddenly remembered something. Today, Teacher Wu said that our final exam has two components, but there's only one Spirit Ascension Platform! What will the other component be? Can you guess?"

Everyone thought for a moment, then shook their heads blankly.

Wang Jinxi smiled wryly, "The riotous Spirit Ascension Platform is indeed a good opportunity for us to improve, but it seems a bit too early. I've heard before that the competition for the riotous Spirit Ascension Platform is extremely fierce. Back then, there was no room for personal relationships. After all, opportunities for soul evolution are rare."

Nan Fusheng said, "We now have so many opportunities to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform. The academy has paid a huge price for our advancement. I think it's so that we can all evolve our souls to a thousand years old through the Spirit Ascension Platform before graduating from the junior division. Have you all calculated your own soul cultivation levels?"

Upon hearing this, the other five people stopped in their tracks without prior arrangement.

A soul evolving for a thousand years? What does that mean?

A thousand-year-old soul spirit, a thousand-year-old soul ring, and the first one of its kind!

If the first soul spirit is a thousand years old, it can provide three soul skills, which can greatly save spiritual energy. If you fuse with another thousand-year-old soul spirit in the future, you can at least cultivate to the sixth ring without worrying about not having soul rings.

One of the biggest problems restricting Soul Masters from advancing to higher levels is the number of Soul Spirits. There's a stark contrast between the amount of Soul Spirits a human's spiritual power can handle.

If one's spiritual power cultivation is insufficient, the fusion of souls will inevitably fail. This is why Wu Changkong places great importance on their spiritual power.

"It seems the academy really intends to do so?" Zhang Yangzi swallowed hard. He desperately wanted to become stronger, and his personality was actually the kind that liked to show off in front of others. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so arrogant as not to make the first move when he first encountered Nan Fusheng and his classmates in the promotion tournament.

Xie Xie said, "That's very possible. If that's the case, that would be great. We really should cherish every opportunity to ascend to the Spirit Platform."

Nan Fusheng said, "I won't go to play. I need to acquire my second soul spirit these next few days."

Upon hearing this, the other five looked at him in surprise, and Xie Xie couldn't help but say directly, "Since you know that the academy intends for us to evolve our souls to a thousand-year cultivation level before graduating from the junior division."

Why not evolve your first soul spirit to the thousand-year level first? With your current soul spirit's hundred-year cultivation, it should be able to provide you with two soul rings.

With the spiritual power of Nanfusheng Lingtongjing, it can support two yellow soul spirits or one purple soul spirit.

If he really chooses to fuse with another soul, then unless his spiritual power breaks through to the "Spirit Sea Realm", neither of his two souls can expect to reach the thousand-year level.

As a comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side, Xie Xie didn't want Nan Fusheng to take the wrong path.

Nan Fusheng smiled bitterly, "I also want to raise my soul spirit to the thousand-year level! But for some reason, my first soul spirit, after being raised to the hundred-year level, just can't split off another soul ring."

"Perhaps it's because it was a defective product." This is a lie, a temporary excuse Nan Fusheng used to deal with Wu Changkong, and he's only telling Xie Xie and the others for now.

Chapter 56 Second Profession: Soul Master

"I believe that with your spiritual power, Fusheng, it won't be long before you can elevate your soul spirit to the thousand-year level. Moreover, high-level soul masters usually possess several soul spirits."

Xie Xie was the first to break the silence, and the others offered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to give up. Anyway, weren't we just discussing what to do these next few days?"

Nan Fusheng said that he did not expect that the others would become so enthusiastic when he just made up an excuse.

Tang Wulin said, "I want to go to the Forging Masters Association to hone my skills for the next few days."

Gu Yue said, "I will meditate."

Wang Jinxi looked at Tang Wulin with a hint of resentment in her eyes. Tang Wulin smiled and said, "Jinxi, I'll be back tonight."

"Cough cough! Jinxi, when did you become like a resentful woman?" Zhang Yangzi raised his hand and slapped Wang Jinxi on the shoulder.

Wang Jinxi glanced at him and said, "If you can help me level up by half a level in three months compared to normal cultivation, I'll become your complaining wife. Wu Lin. Anyway, I'm sticking with you. Or, how about I choose blacksmithing as my second profession? Do you think I have that talent?"

Tang Wulin said, "Regarding the second profession, I think it's better if everyone tries to have different ones. That way, when we start forging our own battle armor later, we can complement each other."

Xie Xie said, "That makes sense. I've basically decided that my second career will be in mecha manufacturing! It's relatively the least technically demanding, but it requires very skilled techniques, which I think suits me best. What about you guys?"

Zhang Yangzi said, "I haven't decided yet."

Nan Fusheng said, "I haven't decided yet either."

Gu Yue said, "I might study mecha repair."

"Huh? You want to study mecha repair? You're a girl! I thought you'd choose mecha design," Xie Xie said curiously.

Gu Yue said calmly, "Only someone without a brain would think that way."

"you……"

"Alright. You two. Go back and rest for a while, then go eat." Nan Fusheng looked at the two of them with some helplessness. They've known each other for so long, yet they still bicker all the time.

After several months of contact, Nan Fusheng discovered that among them...

Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi are the closest, and Xie Xie and Gu Yue are also quite good friends. However, Gu Yue appears very peaceful on the surface, but deep down she has an indescribable sense of pride.

They kept a certain distance from everyone except Tang Wulin. However, the others had a good relationship with Tang Wulin, so he became the mediator in the team.

As for Nan Fusheng himself, he was well aware that he and Tang Wulin were ultimately not on the same path, but unlike Gu Yue, he did not keep his distance from others.

After all, the better the relationship, the easier it is to betray someone in the future.

As for a second job, Nan Fusheng had already thought it through, but he was too lazy to tell Tang Wulin and the others, otherwise he would definitely be bombarded with questions.

Soul Masters are a profession that emerged after the Sun Moon Empire, the predecessor of the Federation, clashed with the Douluo Continent. Anyone who can create and use Soul Tools can be called a Soul Master.

Whether it's mecha or battle armor, the technology used to create them actually originated from the Soul Master industry.

Because high-level mechs, such as the god-level red mechs, have specific requirements in their manufacturing process. The operator must personally participate in the manufacturing process; otherwise, even if they are manufactured, it will be difficult for them to be perfectly matched with the user.

Similarly, battle armor is the same, but the production process of battle armor is much more demanding. Starting with the one-word battle armor, the user is required to participate in the production process; otherwise, the power of the battle armor may be much less.

For top-tier experts, the former is fine, but the latter is indispensable. But asking them to spend a lot of time learning about soul tools is a joke, isn't it?

Learning to use a soul tool not only requires a lot of time and money, but also a certain amount of talent.

For those highly talented Soul Masters, it would be better to spend that time cultivating their Soul Power and striving to become stronger. However, the boost from Battle Armor is also extremely tempting.

Thus, the four major professions were born, splitting off from the realm of Soul Masters and giving more people the opportunity to learn them. Soul Masters only need to spend a certain amount of time to gradually learn them.

At the same time, the four major professions encompassed the two trends of the times: mechs and battle armor. Gradually, people began to focus their attention on them, and the name of Soul Master began to be overshadowed by the brilliance of the former two.

Nan Fusheng had a considerable interest in mecha design, manufacturing, repair, and forging. However, a person's energy is limited, especially for someone like Nan Fusheng who knew the plot's direction. He knew very well that he wouldn't have much time to waste in the future.

But it's alright, he's got a cheat code. He can first learn some basic knowledge about soul tools, and then slowly steal the knowledge of others through parasitism.

Of course, for Nan Fusheng, his own strength is always the most important thing, and becoming a Soul Master is just a side effect.

Want to learn the four professions? If so, just find the corresponding person and parasitize them. Once they become your people, why worry about not having mechs and battle armor?

Nan Fusheng silently gave himself a thumbs up. "I really am a genius. I solved a problem that ordinary people can't solve so easily."

The other three professions are easy to find, but the blacksmithing profession, it seems, has something else, such as the rule that there can only be one master craftsman in a generation, which highlights how precious the protagonist is.

Forget it, if possible in the future, I'll first try to become a parasitic master craftsman like Zhenhua. If that doesn't work, I'll find a master craftsman to fill in for me.

As for why not take advantage of the present moment to parasitize Tang Wulin?

It can only be said that Tang Wulin's power level is too high; he possesses Tang San's divine consciousness and the Golden Dragon King's seal. For Nan Fusheng, once discovered, he'll be doomed in no time.

The Golden Dragon King's seal is manageable, but Tang San is also a reincarnated soul possessor, and might have some insights into the soul. After all, he's a ruthless character who could split his own daughter's soul in two, and Nan Fusheng doesn't want to expose himself to him.

After a short stretch of exercise after dinner, he began meditating. He had already planned out his three-day holiday schedule, even while eating.

Early the next morning, Nan Fusheng ran out of the academy and headed straight for the Spirit Transmission Tower in Donghai City.

Seeing the tall and magnificent building again, Nan Fusheng felt little emotion, after all, he had been here more than ten times in the past three months.

After entering the Spirit Transmission Tower, Nan Fusheng went directly to the counter on the first floor and spoke to the Spirit Transmission Master inside.

"Hello, my soul power has reached level 20, and I'm here to acquire my second soul spirit."

Chapter 57 Terrifying Mental Power

"Hmm? Okay, so you want to acquire the soul spirit? Wait, a second soul spirit? Little guy, you're not just messing with me, are you?"

The spirit medium at the front desk initially thought Nan Fusheng was there to buy his first spirit and become a spirit master. But when he heard that Nan Fusheng wanted to acquire his second spirit, he immediately looked at Nan Fusheng in surprise.
