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

Nan Fusheng looked at Ye Xinglan, whose neck he was choking and whose face was already turning red, and casually threw her out of the arena. Then, he teleported again and appeared behind the girl whose martial soul was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and Xu Lizhi, knocking them unconscious with a hand chop to each of them.

At this point, the Shrek Academy team was completely wiped out. Nan Fusheng turned to look at the referee, who was also stunned by what he saw. The Shrek Academy students, who were invincible among their peers, had actually been defeated, and by their own peers no less.

"Referee, aren't you going to announce who won and who lost?"

"Oh, yes, yes, now I announce the winner of this competition: Team Water Dragon!"

The stands remained completely silent, everyone's minds still blank. They lost? The invincible Shrek team lost?

Nan Fusheng deactivated his Martial Soul Fusion Skill and then led the other six people off the stage. The audience erupted in cheers as soon as the members of the Water Dragon Team stepped off the stage.

"They lost! The Shrek team, which has been virtually undefeated for thousands of years, has lost! How is this possible?"

"Water dragon, water dragon..."

The audience began chanting the name of the Water Dragon team, and even the name of Zhang Wuji, who was Nan Fusheng in disguise, was being chanted, even though many viewers still did not understand how the Water Dragon team had won.

However, the scene where Zhang Wuji threw Ye Xinglan off the stage and Xu Lizhi and the others knocked her unconscious was not obscured by the lightning. Moreover, didn't the referee announce that the Water Dragon team was the winner in the end? So why bother about the process?

The team that won was Tianhai Alliance. They defeated the team from the legendary Shrek Academy, and this was a competition between peers, something that other regions had not been able to do.

So people started shouting that this was a victory for their East China Sea region.

Meanwhile, Nan Fusheng returned to their private lounge. Listening to the frenzied shouts of the audience outside, a smile crept onto his face. Now it was time to try to advance to Sequence Four.

Yes, this is his ritual in preparation for advancement. To be honest, although Nan Fusheng possesses the Source Castle and uniqueness, and even the magic potion needed for advancement, he lacks the knowledge of the corresponding "ritual" for advancement.

Ritual, a system within Lord of Mysteries, serves various purposes, some for blessings, others for divination, but in essence, they all involve praying to the gods and seeking power.

The promotion ceremony is the most special one. The preparation requirements for this ceremony vary depending on the extraordinary individual, but the focus of the ceremony remains the same: to maintain self-awareness and assist the extraordinary individual in their promotion.

In short, it's about increasing the success rate of advancement.

At this moment, Nan Fusheng wanted to use the emotions of the audience, their sense of honor, excitement, and joy at leading the Water Dragon team to defeat the Shrek team and bring glory to the people of the East China Sea, to help him advance his promotion.

In reality, he wasn't sure if it actually worked, since it was a promotion ceremony similar to the "audience" sequence in the original work. However, Nan Fusheng was also helpless!

After all, regarding the methods of advancement through this route, he only knew the "Fool's" advancement ceremony: relying mainly on his own strength and planning, he directed a grand drama in front of a large audience to murder a demigod, and then drank the magic potion at the end of the drama.

Are there demigods in Douluo Continent? Yes, but that's a realm that can only be reached by a Title Douluo of at least level 99. And whether that counts as a demigod or not, he doesn't know.

He had no choice but to resort to this method. Besides, the ritual was ultimately just an aid. In essence, it was a mark, an anchor point.

There are always some lucky people in this world who can be promoted directly without the aid of any ceremony.

For example, the "sea god" Kavituwa in the mystery was lucky enough to directly consume the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 3, but he did not lose control immediately. Instead, he successfully transformed from an ordinary sea serpent into a sea god who stirs up trouble, although this god would occasionally go mad.

Although Nan Fusheng has always prioritized survival, he still possesses a reckless streak. In any case, the demigod is an obstacle he will eventually have to overcome.

With this in mind, Nan Fusheng immersed himself in his spiritual sea, silently chanting: Parasite Potion, Parasite Potion...

Then he took the magical potion that had materialized in his hand and gulped it down in one go.

Chapter 102 Becoming a Demigod

His spirits inexplicably soared, and he seemed to have suddenly ascended to a high altitude, looking down over the entire Tianhai Stadium, over the stadium where the audience was enthusiastically chanting "Water Dragon Team".

At this moment, his emotions became inexplicably agitated, and images of those he had once parasitized floated into his mind. They were filled with joy or anger, sorrow or happiness, and they acted out all sorts of behaviors. He seemed to have become those people he had parasitized.

Nan Fusheng often had similar feelings when he first started using parasites, but he was also very clear that he could experience the emotions of those he parasitized, but he could never immerse himself in them. These emotions could only be viewed as films at most.

He was Nan Fusheng, a thief. Grasping at that familiar feeling, Nan Fusheng quickly adjusted his mindset, completely detaching himself from the emotions, observing everything with a detached and indifferent attitude, unaffected by the emotions in his memories.

As a "thief," one should follow one's heart, consider reality, make rational analyses, and make choices to keep one's emotions in a stable state.

With his mind settling, Nan Fusheng's spirit immediately settled, and he soon felt the power of the magic potion spreading throughout his body, like a net with each thread sharp and pointed.

Suddenly, Nan Fusheng felt his spirit and flesh being torn into countless tiny parts. Unable to bear it any longer, he let out a scream from the depths of his soul:

"No!"

His thoughts, no longer fragmented, broke into pieces that combined with different pieces of flesh and blood, developing their own consciousness:

There is a Nan Fusheng in pain, there is an arrogant Nan Fusheng, there is a cold Nan Fusheng, there is a gentle Nan Fusheng, there is a self-amusing Nan Fusheng, there is Zhang Wuji, there is Zhang Chulan, there is Zhang Sanfeng, and there is him from his past life!

His entire spirit seemed to have been put into a blender by someone.

The appearance of Zhang Wuji outside suddenly changed back to that of Nan Fusheng. If someone were observing from there, they would notice that pale fleshy growths had appeared on Nan Fusheng's face, neck, and the back of his hands.

As if it had gained its own life force, it continued to grow outward, transforming into a transparent worm with twelve rings, and under the clothes, there were also traces of wriggling rising and falling.

It seemed as if it would disintegrate into a clump of transparent worms in the next second, each heading in a different direction.

The transparent worms with twelve rings that grew from Nan Fusheng's body shimmered with mysterious, three-dimensional symbols under the sunlight. They connected to higher levels and the laws of the lower levels, directly representing abstract concepts such as the bizarre, madness, change, power, and knowledge.

In the howling, cold wind, one after another translucent insect with twelve rings appeared around Nan Fusheng.

As the insects swarmed, Nan Fusheng's soul shattered into fragments, each merging into a different worm. At this moment, Nan Fusheng's thoughts were a jumbled mess of conflicting emotions, drifting gently away...

It seemed to be flying towards infinite heights, where countless phantoms were surrounding the twisted, enormous building, playing music, giving speeches, roaring, or muttering in their sleep.

In Nan Fusheng's chaotic sensory experience, everything around him overlapped. At this moment, the same vivid memories appeared in one fragment of his mind after another.

That was a scene of someone who had just arrived in this world and was being carefully cared for by their parents;

That was the scene after he was first starved to death, killed his mother, and made into a secret doll;

That was the first time I deeply parasitized a soul beast and experienced a different perspective.

That was the first time a human had been deeply parasitized, and how this was used to plan an advancement ceremony;

I……

who am I?

This question was answered long ago after Nan Fusheng was first said to have "starved to death," so there was no need to think about it further; his identity was quickly clarified:

A person from Earth who was fortunate enough to be reborn;

A person who wants to be free and pursue becoming a "god";

A person who is self-protective, afraid of danger, but has his own principles of finding joy;

As the fragments were gradually extracted, new thoughts emerged from Nan Fusheng: indifferent, calm, detached, and condescending thoughts that allowed him to see the true nature of the world from more angles and perspectives.

He understood that this might be divinity. He did not resist it, but instead used it to connect the original fragments of his soul one by one with transparent worms, slowly transforming them back into a whole.

Only then did he understand the purpose of the promotion ceremony.

This is a mark, and also an anchor point. Compared to other methods, "parasites" who experience mental fragmentation need an anchor point much earlier!

However, this does not require the support of faith. On the contrary, faith is too complex, too chaotic, and contains too many personal emotions. It is easy for the fragmented state of this ritual to erase the humanity of the ascendant who is currently only at Sequence 5, leaving only divinity.

A magnificent and profound drama, watched by a large audience, is enough to serve as an anchor!

The Tianhai Stadium has at least 80,000 spectators, which is obviously enough to satisfy this requirement. In addition, Zhang Wuji, Zhang Chulan and others who have been deeply parasitized by him can also serve as anchors for him to solidify his "humanity".

The whole thing finally took shape, and all sorts of knowledge surged out from the depths of the demigod's spiritual body, sweeping through Nan Fusheng's mind and bringing him an indescribable shock, making his head feel like it was about to explode.

However, having already begun to possess divinity and having experienced many things, he passed through this stage relatively easily by observing from the sidelines.

The transparent worms on his face, hands, neck, and under his clothes shrank back into his body, and he transformed back into Nan Fusheng with black hair and black eyes.

"Is this the power of Sequence Four 'Parasite'?!"

Nan Fusheng clenched his fist, familiarizing himself with his own strength and abilities. After advancing to become a demigod, many of his abilities began to change.

The most obvious example is his martial soul, the Time Worm, and its first soul skill: Parasitism. This soul skill no longer has the limitation of splitting into a maximum of nine. As long as his soul and spirit can withstand it, theoretically, he can split infinitely.

Besides, he only needs one Time Worm to deeply parasitize others now. This is probably because his martial soul has also evolved after his advancement. After all, in terms of the essence of life, he is now "half-god, half-human".

Second Soul Skill: Door. This Soul Skill is the same; now, it doesn't even need to be marked with Star Worms. As long as he remembers the places he's been, he can directly teleport to those places remotely through the "Door."

Of course, if he wants to teleport someone over long distances, he either has to let the other person touch him, or he has to place a Star Bug on the other person.

How to play the role of a thief?

Sequence Two: The Trojan Horse.

Sequence 1: The Time Worm.

I need your advice on how to play the role.

Chapter 103 Current Situation

Nan Fusheng also sensed his own soul power and discovered that he had unknowingly reached level 30. This must be because the part of his life force that he had sealed away during his advancement was absorbed by his body, which caused his soul power to surge.

At the same time, his mental strength also experienced a surge, far exceeding any previous increase.

Sequence Four is known as "demigods and humans." Starting from Sequence Four, Extraordinary beings are no longer considered human. Both physically and in terms of status, they have embarked on the path of "gods."

At the same time, Nan Fusheng also noticed a problem: when he advanced to the fourth rank, his emotions became a little detached. Not that his emotions disappeared, but rather that they became detached.

Just like humans looking at insects, with a sense of superiority.

To him, the potion that came with the Source Castle seemed to have no trace of the previous users; this potion seemed to be incredibly pure.

Yes, it's pure. Why do the extraordinary beings in Lord of Mysteries lose control so easily? Besides the fact that the underlying logic of that world is chaos and madness.

The reason for this is the mental imprint left by the previous extraordinary person who took the potion.

Alternatively, it could be the influence of those in higher positions on those in lower positions within the same pathway. For example, among the three pathways of the Lord of Mysteries, the closer one is to a higher sequence, such as becoming sequence four, sequence three, or even higher, the more rituals are needed to assist in advancement.
