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

"We've arrived at the academy, everyone please get off the bus." A familiar voice came from the front, and Nan Fusheng then saw that senior student Liu Yuxin was sitting in the front seat, and was now getting up to greet the students who had come to register and their parents.

Nan Fusheng grabbed his bag, got up, and got off the bus in one swift motion. Then he followed Liu Yuxin's instructions.

Chapter 14 Enrollment and Roommates

The high walls belong to Donghai Academy. Not far ahead is the academy entrance, with a tall gatehouse built of huge stones that exudes an imposing presence.

Donghai Academy is a large academy with both intermediate and advanced levels of academic qualifications. Therefore, it is divided into an intermediate department and an advanced department. Liu Yuxin is a student in the advanced department.

Don't assume that the intermediate and advanced levels are only a step apart; in reality, the difference is enormous.

Intermediate academies offer compulsory education and are tuition-free. Donghai Academy is a Soul Master Academy, with intermediate academies occupying two-thirds of the area, but its essence lies in the advanced academies, which occupy one-third of the area.

Anyone who is a Soul Master and has a recommendation letter from a junior academy within East Sea City and its surrounding towns can come here to receive Soul Master education at the intermediate academy. The intermediate academy has a six-year curriculum, and by the time students graduate from the sixth year, no more than one-tenth are actually able to enter an advanced Soul Master academy.

Advanced colleges are no longer compulsory education; admission is only possible through a series of rigorous examinations, and those who can get into advanced colleges are the true elites.

If the primary academy teaches the basics of martial spirits and soul masters, then the intermediate academy teaches how to apply that knowledge, how to unleash one's martial spirit, and how to define one's future. Only at the advanced academy does true advanced learning begin.

As you enter the college, you are greeted by lush greenery. A wide road stretches out to both sides, while the road in front is paved with bluestone slabs, giving it a rustic feel.

With Liu Yuxin's introduction, Nan Fusheng quickly gained a basic understanding of the college.

The main teaching building of the intermediate academy is located on the east side of the entire academy; it is a twelve-story building. Higher grades are located on higher floors. Nan Fusheng will be a first-year student upon enrollment and will only be assigned to a classroom on the first or second floor.

"That's the Academic Affairs Office over there. Go register there. Your middle school dormitory is right behind the teaching building."

After giving the introductions, Liu Yuxin led them to the Academic Affairs Office and then left.

Nan Fusheng chose to wait a while until the others had finished their business before entering the Academic Affairs Office.

With the metal tag given to him by Liu Yuxin, along with a recommendation letter from Hongshan College, he successfully completed the enrollment procedures.

Two free school uniforms, one dormitory key, and study materials will be distributed when classes officially begin.

He was assigned to Class 5 of the first year. From that moment on, he was a freshman in the middle school section of Donghai Academy.

Nan Fusheng carried his luggage, walked around the teaching building, and came to the dormitory building at the back. The dormitory building was about the same height as the teaching building, also twelve stories high. His dormitory was on the second floor. Dormitory number 205.

The hallway was chaotic. These past few days have been the registration period for school enrollment, and there were not only students but also parents dropping off their children, making everything seem somewhat disorganized.

Nan Fusheng finally found his dormitory. The door was open, and there were already people inside.

The dormitory room has two bunk beds, accommodating four people. There are two rectangular tables, four chairs, two cabinets, and a ceiling light. That's all there is to the dormitory.

To his surprise, all three of his roommates were in the dormitory. When Nan Fusheng came in, one of the students, who was quite burly, walked up to him and said, "Looks like you're our roommate. We're cleaning the dormitory right now, let's lend a hand?"

"Okay." Nan Fusheng nodded and joined in cleaning the dormitory. The dormitory wasn't too dirty or messy to begin with, and with the combined efforts of Nan Fusheng and the other three, it was cleaned up in no time.

"Then, let me introduce myself first. My name is Wang Ba, my martial spirit is the War Tiger, and I am an eleventh-level War Spirit Master."

"Yunfeng, his martial soul is a dagger, and he is an eleventh-level battle soul master."

"Zhao Xiao's martial soul is a goat, and he is an eleventh-level battle soul master."

"Nan Fusheng, his martial soul is the Time Worm, and he is a level 13 battle soul master."

As the four introduced themselves, Nan Fusheng learned about their soul power levels. Wang Ba was the burly boy who had invited Nan Fusheng to help clean up from the beginning, Yun Feng was rather thin, and Zhao Xiao was unremarkable. Nan Fusheng's self-introduction, however, surprised them somewhat.

"Fusheng, I didn't expect your soul power to be level thirteen. It seems that you are the perfect candidate to be the dormitory head."

"Haha, Wang Ba, stop joking. We're all classmates, there's no such thing as a dorm leader or anything like that. Let's all get along well from now on." Nan Fusheng laughed along with Wang Ba when he heard his teasing and responded with a smile.

After the jokes, the four of them got along much better. This relieved Nan Fusheng, as he didn't want to follow the Douluo Continent tradition of fighting with his roommates right at the start of the semester.

Nan Fusheng chose a lower bunk to start organizing his things. After finishing, he went directly to the cafeteria for a meal and then returned to his dormitory to cultivate.

When Wang Ba and the other two saw Nan Fusheng's schedule, they secretly sighed, "No wonder his soul power is higher than ours. He works so hard!"

Perhaps influenced by Nan Fusheng, the other three also began to suppress their desire to go out and play and their lazy mentality. They followed Nan Fusheng to their beds and began to cultivate. However, what they did not notice was that as they began to cultivate, an illusory worm was appearing on their martial souls.

Slowly absorbing their soul power, this was Nan Fusheng's first soul skill: Parasitism. It allowed him to absorb the soul power of others to accelerate his cultivation.

Nan Fusheng used a shallow parasitic method, while simultaneously influencing their senses through the Time Worm, making it impossible for Wang Ba and the other two to detect anything amiss. Even if outsiders were to observe now, they wouldn't see anything wrong; they would only perceive that they were diligently cultivating. However, Nan Fusheng didn't absorb excessive soul power; he only absorbed soul power equivalent to half their cultivation speed.

At the same time, the absorbed soul power will be filtered through the parasite's soul spirit before being absorbed by Nan Fusheng.

The reason Wang Ba and the others wanted to cultivate diligently was naturally due to Nan Fusheng's secret parasitic influence. Parasitic souls already have a very weak aura, and because their consciousness had been replaced by Nan Fusheng, he could completely conceal their aura when activating soul skills.

"I'm doing this for their own good. They've already reached the intermediate academy, how can they not work hard in their cultivation?"

Nan Fusheng said that he was doing this for their future, and that the soul power he absorbed was his reward.

And so, Nan Fusheng led Wang Ba and the other two to dinner, followed by cultivation, and then a short nap. After all, they couldn't be pushed too hard. Although meditation could replace sleep to some extent, Wang Ba and the other two weren't capable of meditating continuously.

After waking up, he ate breakfast and continued his cultivation until Nan Fusheng heard a loud bang and a shout.

"Why are you city people so mean?"

Chapter 15, Class 5

Nan Fusheng did not stop cultivating. He did not plan to go to Tang Wulin. After all, they were all in the same class. Let Tang Wulin and his roommates have a good chat for now!

In the process of cultivation transition...

As the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window in the early morning, Nan Fusheng opened his eyes.

After nearly a day and a night of meditation, my spirit was refreshed and full of energy. With the addition of three "power banks," my soul power seemed to have improved slightly. After reaching level ten, the rate of soul power increase was noticeably faster, but the soul power required for advancement was undoubtedly also greater. This would require accumulation over time.

After washing up with three power banks in hand, Nan Fusheng headed straight for the college cafeteria. On his way there, he overheard students discussing things like, "Have you heard? A super glutton has come to the school," or some kind of legendary glutton.

The cafeteria for the intermediate grade is located in a small three-story building next to the main teaching building. It serves meals for all six grades in the intermediate grade. Grades one and two eat on the first floor.

The cafeteria only has tables, no chairs—a rule at Donghai Academy that students must stand to eat, designed to instill a sense of urgency. This prompted Nan Fusheng to complain: "What kind of Shrek rule is this?"

Nanfusheng didn't arrive too early; there were already quite a few students eating in the cafeteria. The cafeteria had three windows, marked with "A," "B," and "C" respectively. Cafeteria A was fully paid, and naturally, the ingredients were the best. Cafeteria B was partially paid, and Cafeteria C was completely free.

He led Wang Ba and the other two directly to the window of Restaurant B.

The breakfast was plentiful, consisting of milk, eggs, sausages, bread, and vegetables.

Nan Fusheng and the three of them took some food, paid for it, and then found a corner to start eating. Some of the ingredients in the B meal came from captive soul beasts. Although the nutritional value was not as high as the A meal, it was still higher than the C meal, which was made entirely of ordinary ingredients.

Nan Fusheng is not short of money now. Before leaving Aolai City, he talked to the law enforcement officers in Aolai City about wanting to sell his house. Although the law enforcement officers politely declined with reasons such as "You are still young," he eventually succeeded in persuading them to sell the house in Aolai City.

With over 1.2 million Federal Dollars, plus the monthly subsidy of 1,000 Federal Dollars given to Soul Masters by the government, there's more than enough to afford a B-class meal. As for the A-class meal, it's fine to eat it once or twice occasionally.

After finishing breakfast, Nan Fusheng sat in the cafeteria, waiting for the opening ceremony.

The sun was high in the sky when the opening ceremony began.

The ceremony was held in the huge square of Donghai Academy, where the senior and intermediate students only gather together at this time of year.

"Hello everyone, today is the annual opening ceremony. Now, please welcome Dean Yu to give a speech."

The dean of Donghai Academy was an elderly man who looked to be in his sixties. He was of medium build and unremarkable, with gray hair and glasses, and had a scholarly appearance.

"Hello, students. Every year at this time, I feel a mix of emotions. A group of students from the intermediate and advanced levels graduate and leave the college. At the same time, some students move up from the intermediate level to the advanced level, and new students join us."

"In my view, the academy is like the Federation's lifeblood, constantly supplying it with qualified talent. In the future, I hope you can also..."

Nan Fusheng stood in the line of new students, patiently listening to the dean's long speech.

The dean was very eloquent and spoke without a script, delivering his speech with great emotion and enthusiasm for a full fifteen minutes before gradually coming to an end.

After the dean's speech, the most important part of the opening ceremony began: class assignment.

"Now we will proceed with the class assignments. As everyone knows, at Donghai Academy, the smaller the class number, the more outstanding the students. However, this is not absolute. We hope that the lower-ranked classes can also catch up through hard work. This year, there are a total of 108 new students, divided into five classes. Now, those whose names I call, please step forward and enter Class One..."

"Tang Wulin, Zhou Changxi, Xie Xie, Yun Xiao, Nan Fusheng..." When he was assigned to Class 5, Nan Fusheng's name was called out. This did not surprise him much. After all, although he claimed to have a mutated martial soul, he had only changed his name. So far, he had not shown any outstanding performance, so it was normal for him to be assigned to Class 5.

Not only was Nan Fusheng assigned to Class 5, but his three roommates, Wang Ba and Wang Ba, were also assigned to Class 5, since their soul power was only level eleven and their martial souls weren't very strong. Tang Wulin, however, showed surprise and joy when he heard Nan Fusheng's name.

Class 5 had only twenty students, the fewest among the five classes. Most of the students assigned to Class 5 were listless and lacked energy.

"Each class teacher will take your students back to their classrooms to familiarize them with the college."

Five teachers came out, and one of them walked towards Class 5.

The teacher looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, over 1.9 meters tall, with long arms and a narrow waist, and long legs clad in white trousers. He appeared somewhat thin, but his eyes were bright and piercing, his nose was high and straight, and his lips were thin and well-proportioned, giving him an exceptionally upright presence. His long hair cascaded down his back, and as the wind blew, one could vaguely see that his lake-blue hair reached all the way to his waist.

His eyes were dark green, which, combined with his long blue hair, gave him an unusual air. His face was expressionless, and his eyes were cold.

When the students from Class 5 saw him, they were all stunned.

Until a female student from Class 5 exclaimed, "The teacher is so handsome!"

"Follow me!" The young teacher's simple three words sent a chill down the spines of all the students—a chill that came from the depths of their hearts.

"Wu Changkong, as expected of a Soul Emperor from Shrek Academy. I wonder if it's possible for me to deeply 'parasitize' him now?"

Nan Fusheng thought to himself, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of ​​doing something reckless and decided to experiment on other people first.

Class 5's classroom is on the first floor, and it's on the innermost side, so it's the furthest away.

The classroom has thirty sets of desks and chairs, with the podium at the very front.

"Take a seat," the young teacher said coldly. Every time he spoke, I felt the same way—so cold!

Nan Fusheng casually found a seat at the back, while Wang Ba and the other two subconsciously chose the seats next to him after seeing his choice.

Unbeknownst to them, Wang Ba and his two companions had begun to follow Nan Fusheng's lead. This was one of the effects of the "Time Worm." Although Nan Fusheng only used "shallow parasitism" on them, they still subconsciously obeyed him. They probably hadn't realized this yet.
