Douluo: The Peerless Tang Sect - The Ordinary Life of a Supporting Character

Chapter 29 First Time

"Of course, becoming a member of the inspection team also means that you may face life-threatening danger." Sun He changed the subject, and his expression became serious.

"The methods of evil spirit masters are impossible to guard against. Although the academy always ensures that the students' strength surpasses that of evil spirit masters, many outstanding inner court disciples still sacrifice themselves in some strange attacks."

"Furthermore, members of the inspection team do not receive any extra compensation. You can still choose to refuse now. The academy will not make things difficult for you, nor will it take back your core disciple status. However, you will have to leave Shrek Academy after graduating from the outer academy."

Although Sun He kept saying it was dangerous, Wang Nan knew that the world outside the academy was far more dangerous than that.

Douluo Continent is, after all, a world where cultivation is possible, and battles between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts occur daily. For Soul Masters without a background, even acquiring a Soul Ring is a perilous adventure with a slim chance of survival.

Some Soul Masters may occasionally have some fortuitous encounters, but they don't know that the ownership of those top-tier resources has already been secretly decided.

On one hand, there's the option of leaving the academy's protection to compete with other soul masters across the continent for those elusive opportunities; on the other hand, there's the option of enjoying the resources of the continent's premier soul master academy simply by dealing with a few evil soul masters. Wang Nan naturally preferred to stay at Shrek Academy.

Moreover, for him, dealing with evil spirit masters might not necessarily be a bad thing.

A Soul Master's spiritual power will affect the condensation of the Soul Core in the future. However, on the Douluo Continent, most Soul Masters' spiritual power can only grow naturally with their Soul Power. Wang Nan does not have a secret method like the Purple Demon Eye that can enhance spiritual power, so sooner or later he will have to find an evil Soul Master to enhance his spiritual power.

Now that the academy is helping him gather information on evil spirit masters, and other inner court disciples will assist him in dealing with them, it's much more convenient than him searching for them one by one.

"Teacher Sun, what will I be doing after joining the supervisory team?"

Sun He looked at Wang Nan, his usual smiling face returning. "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, the academy doesn't want to lose any inner court disciples, so we won't send you on any overly dangerous missions."

"The academy has sources of information throughout the continent. These sources are categorized by specialized inner court teachers according to the strength and scale of the evil soul masters, and then suitable inner court disciples are assigned to handle them."

"As for reserve members like you, the academy will not assign you to complete tasks alone. You are usually responsible for assisting other inner court disciples."

"Then I choose to join." Wang Nan nodded, having made his decision.

"Alright, I also have something to give you." With that, Sun He took out a ring from his storage soul tool. "This is the symbol of the Shrek Academy Inspection Team. You need to drip a drop of your blood on it to use it."

"It can be used to identify people, and it's also a storage soul tool. Inside, there are clothes, masks, and cloaks used by the inspection team, as well as the most important signal flare. Once in danger, you can release it, and the Shrek Academy students nearby will come to your aid immediately."

Wang Nan took the silver ring and dripped a drop of blood onto the emerald green gemstone. Instantly, a feeling of blood connection arose, and it seemed as if a faint aura was pointing towards Sun He in front of him.

"I usually don't take this ring out when I don't have a mission. I just wanted you to experience its function. Okay, put it away and listen to your first mission."

"A mission already?"

"Don't worry, if there's any dangerous mission, at least we teachers will be there to protect you. This mission is just to familiarize you with the process and let you know how the inspection team members carry out their missions."

At this point, Sun He's expression turned somewhat strange. He glanced at Wang Nan before saying, "I don't know the specifics either, but when you go back, you can prepare a couple more sets of clothes and bring some food. Meet at the academy gate tomorrow morning, and someone will take you to complete the mission."

Wang Nan put the ring away and walked back to his dormitory. He had a vague feeling that the peaceful life he had experienced last year was about to leave him.

As he was packing his luggage, Gongyang Mo pushed open the door and entered. Like Wang Nan, he had passed the upgrade assessment early, so today was also his day off.

"You've come at the right time. I have something to do tomorrow and I might not be around for the next few days."

"What a coincidence, I'm also going out soon." Gongyang Mo gave him a knowing look.

"Are you also leaving tomorrow?"

Gongyang Mo nodded.

……

The night passed quickly, and the next morning, Wang Nan and Gongyang Mo arrived at the academy gate as agreed, only to find quite a few people there. One of them was Yu Chenyu, who was in the same year as them. They didn't recognize the others, but judging from the color of their school uniforms, it wasn't hard to guess that they were all third-year students.

One of them had shoulder-length blond hair and double pupils in his eyes. Although he didn't say anything to introduce himself, Wang Nan had already guessed who he was.

"Are all the core disciples of the Three Rings here?" A voice suddenly rang out at the school gate.

Before anyone could be seen, the aroma of alcohol wafted over.

Everyone turned around and saw an old man walking unsteadily towards them. He was wearing tattered clothes, barefoot, and his hair was disheveled. He was talking and letting out a burp.

The newcomer was none other than Xuanzi, a level 98 Super Douluo.

"Not bad, there are three second-year students too." Xuanzi took another swig of wine, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "I will lead your first inspection mission. Come on, come closer."

The group exchanged glances upon hearing this, but none of them made a move.

Their situation was similar to Wang Nan's; almost all of them were told that someone would take them on their first mission today, but no one told them that it would be with such a slovenly old man.

Seeing that the students did not move, Xuanzi did not say anything more. With a wave of his right hand, the few people standing in place felt a powerful soul force coming towards them and enveloping them. Then their bodies became light and they floated in the air.

"You're walking too slowly, hiccup~ I'll help you catch up."

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw the academy gate getting further and further away from them.

Although protected by Xuanzi's soul power, none of them were affected by the surrounding airflow. However, the speed was still so fast that the disciples' faces turned somewhat pale.

Two hours passed, and just as the two disciples' faces turned pale, Xuanzi finally stopped. There were no trees in sight, only a desolate plain, with a blurry dark shape in the distance that looked like a village.

"Alright, rest here for a while, and remember to fill your stomach," Xuanzi said meaningfully.
