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

Chapter 34 The Three-Year Agreement Has Arrived

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Dai Yueheng."

After the match, Dai Yueheng was no longer as embarrassed as he had been in the ice prison. He was generous and had a gentle smile on his face, making people feel close to him.

As the son of a duke, he was raised from childhood to be the next Duke of the White Tiger, and his manners were indeed impeccable.

"Hello, my name is Wang Nan."

"I saw my junior brother's extraordinary strength during the last mission. It's been a year since I last saw him, and he has improved a lot."

"Not at all, it's you, senior brother, who fought against many opponents in the match just now, which I greatly admire."

Wang Nan simply echoed Dai Yueheng's words and praised him without any other intention. However, Dai Yueheng thought of something else after hearing this and didn't continue the conversation.

"Junior brother, where are you from?"

My home is in Xingluo City.

"What a coincidence, my home is also near Xingluo City. You can come over to my house sometime."

"Okay, I'll definitely do it next time."

Dai Yueheng's entry into Shrek Academy wasn't just for academic purposes. Everyone who could enter Shrek was exceptionally talented, and even those who couldn't graduate were far superior to ordinary Soul Masters. Therefore, he paid close attention to the other students, hoping to win them over in the future.

After entering the academy, Wang Nan did not reveal any special background. His performance during the last mission was still fresh in Dai Yueheng's memory. In addition, since Wang Nan was a citizen of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Yueheng inevitably had some other thoughts in his mind.

"Then it's a deal, you must come next time."

While Wang Nan and Dai Yueheng were exchanging pleasantries, the other three were chatting together.

Besides Gongyang Mo and Ling Luochen, the remaining disciple is named Xixi, who had met Wang Nan once during the freshman assessment.

She was able to stay not because she was particularly strong, but because she was fast. Dai Yueheng couldn't catch her, so he had to eliminate the others first.

Gongyang Mo seems to possess a magical quality, quickly becoming close with girls. Even those who aren't particularly talkative, like Ling Luochen and Xixi, can chat quite congenially.

Not long after, two familiar faces appeared in the Soul Fighting Zone.

Ma Xiaotao goes without saying, and the other is Ye Xiaosheng from the Soul Guidance Department.

Ever since his last encounter with Wang Nan, Ye Xiaosheng has shamelessly clung to him. Although he is older than Wang Nan, he still calls him "brother" repeatedly, all in an attempt to hear more novel ideas about soul tools from Wang Nan.

The Soul Guidance Shock Cannon used in this competition was created by Ye Xiaosheng after listening to Wang Nan's idea.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, I'll get straight to the point." Xuanzi put down what he was holding, his face unusually serious. "You were chosen to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, which takes place every five years."

"Ten thousand years ago, the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils represented Shrek Academy and won the continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, thus laying the foundation for our academy to become the number one academy, and the name of Shrek Seven Devils spread far and wide."

"With the advent of soul tools, the original Elite Tournament was changed to the current Soul Fighting Tournament, but the academy's tradition has not changed. Every year, the contestants who participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament will be awarded the title of Shrek Seven Devils."

"However, given your current age and strength, you cannot compete as official players; you can only serve as reserve players. In these five years, you must improve yourselves as much as possible. If your strength falls behind, you may lose the opportunity to represent the academy."

"Starting today, you will train with me one day a week until the Soul Battle Tournament begins in a month. Alright, you may leave now."

After leaving the Soul Fighting Zone, everyone dispersed, and Wang Nan and Gongyang Mo returned to their dormitory together.

Not long after I got back, there was a knock on the door.

"Who are you?"

Wang Nan opened the door, and a young man was standing outside.

"Hello, VIP, this is customer service from Jubaoge."

"Treasure Pavilion?"

With the resources brought by Ma Xiaotao, Wang Nan didn't lack basic necessities, but he couldn't afford anything valuable either. So, he had hardly visited Jubaoge in the past two years, and for a moment, he really didn't know why Ma Xiaotao had come to see him.

"Distinguished guest, you may have forgotten that you reserved an exhibit at our Treasure Pavilion. I'm here today to relay a message from the Pavilion Master."

"The Pavilion Master said that the three-year agreement has come to an end."

Wang Nan then remembered that when he first became a core disciple, the Treasure Pavilion held a treasure appreciation event for core disciples. There was a soul bone that was a perfect match for him, but he didn't have enough credit to buy it. Later, the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion stepped in and held it for him for three years.

The reason they've sent someone to my door now is probably because I've been selected as a candidate for the Soul Battle Tournament, and according to the Treasure Pavilion's evaluation, my credit limit is enough to buy that soul bone.

No wonder they insisted on setting a three-year timeframe; it seems this was also part of that pavilion master's plan.

"Okay, I understand."

"Would you like to come with me, esteemed guest? The carriage is already waiting at the academy gate."

Speaking of this, we must mention the strange structure of Shrek City. Shrek City has four gates: east, south, west, and north. The east gate is exclusively for Shrek Academy, and entering the east gate means entering Shrek Academy.

However, Shrek Academy has no other gates, which means that to enter Shrek City from Shrek Academy, you have to go out through the East Gate, then go around a big circle, and enter the city through the other three gates.

I don't know who came up with this design.

Wang Nan had nothing else to do for the time being, and considering the distance between the city gates, he finally agreed to the customer service representative's suggestion.

Speechless all the way.

When Wang Nan got off the carriage, he had already arrived at the entrance of Jubaoge. Although there were no events being held there, Soul Masters and Soul Instructors were still coming and going in an endless stream.

He went up the stairs to the second floor, where the pavilion master was already waiting for him.

"It's been a long time."

"Uh, thank you for your concern, Pavilion Master."

"Haha, come, sit down and let's chat." The owner of Jubaoge gestured for Wang Nan to sit down in front of her. "My surname is Lin. Don't keep calling me 'owner' when we meet in the future, so as not to cause misunderstandings."

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

"Yes, as I mentioned last time, if you meet the requirements within three years, you can not only buy this soul bone, but I will also give you a gift." Lin Huiqun waved to the people behind her as she spoke. "Do you remember?"

As they were talking, a woman behind Lin Huiqun stepped forward and placed a brocade box on the table.

"I am not one to go back on my word. Although this item is not a top-tier treasure, it is still quite rare and will be of great help to you. Open it and take a look."

Wang Nan opened the box as instructed, and a milky-white bead lay quietly inside.
