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

Chapter 38 News

During Wang Nan's deep meditation, Ma Xiaotao would come here every few days. However, Shrek Academy did not allow girls to enter the boys' dormitory, so she could only sneak a peek from afar.

I never expected to be caught red-handed this time.

"I just woke up and went to eat. By the way, who told you to call me that?" Although he was asking, Wang Nan already had a guess in his mind.

"Gongyang Mo, that's what he called you when we talked about you on the way to the Soul Fighting Tournament," Ma Xiaotao said, circling around Wang Nan. "You don't look thinner, but you've grown quite a bit taller."

"With Master Zhuang around, how could I possibly lose weight?"

Elder Zhuang is the only support-type Title Douluo among the elders of Seagod Island. His martial soul is the Tree of Life, which contains a powerful life force. Under its influence, even burned plants can sprout new branches and buds, providing more than enough energy for Wang Nan's body.

"What brings you here today? Let's get this straight: if we're going to fight, you'll have to wait a few days until I've recovered."

"Do you really think I love fighting that much?"

Wang Nan looked at Ma Xiaotao with surprise upon hearing this.

Wu Ming and Ma Xiaotao are two famous active volcanoes in the inner courtyard. Although they are not as famous now as they will be in the future, their reputation for being hot-tempered and always dragging people into the arena is gradually spreading.

Ma Xiaotao blushed a little when Wang Nan looked at her, and quickly changed the subject, "When I went to the Soul Battle Tournament this time, I came across an auction mainly featuring soul tools. I know you've always been interested in soul tools, so I bought one for you."

During the Soul Battle Tournament, all the major advanced Soul Master academies across the continent gather together, so many businesses take this opportunity to hold auctions and other events. It's not surprising that Ma Xiaotao would encounter one.

"Look," Ma Xiaotao said, taking out a silver necklace. The pendant on the necklace was about the size of an adult's thumb and looked like a mini baby bottle.

"This is a charging soul tool. You can store your soul power inside it normally, and use it to replenish your soul power when you're not in good condition."

Before Wang Nan could refuse, Ma Xiaotao grabbed his arm, shoved the necklace into his hand, and then quickly ran away.

"You take good care of yourself, I'm going back now."

Watching Ma Xiaotao's hurried departure, Wang Nan gave a helpless laugh.

Back in his dormitory, Wang Nan held the necklace in his hands and examined it again and again.

He felt that the name "energy storage soul tool" was more suitable for it than "energy charging soul tool".

While it can provide soul power to soul masters, it also has many limitations. For example, low-level soul masters cannot use soul tools with energy exceeding their own level, otherwise their bodies will be unable to withstand the excessive amount of soul power.

For example, when using a charging soul tool, you need to stop all movement and focus all your attention on guiding the soul power. Otherwise, the soul power is very easy to get out of control and cause physical damage. This means that it cannot be used in battle, and its practicality is greatly reduced.

In comparison, the ability to store soul power is actually more important.

If Wang Nan remembers correctly, offensive soul tools that use rechargeable soul tools as a power source will appear in the future. If this method is promoted, it will greatly reduce the threshold for using soul tools, and even allow ordinary people to use soul tools.

Furthermore, with the advent of sealed milk bottles that can prevent the loss of soul power, both war and people's daily lives will undergo tremendous changes due to soul tools.

"Unfortunately, my energy is limited, and my talent for making soul tools is only average. I'll have Lin Xiao or Ye Xiaosheng help me research this sometime."

Thinking of this, Wang Nan put away the necklace, summoned the Panlong Staff and held it in his hand, gradually entering a meditative state.

……

That evening, outside the east gate of Shrek Academy, a tall, burly man stood with a lifelike white tiger embroidered on his left chest. He exuded an air of military discipline, and his sharp eyes constantly scanned his surroundings until he saw Dai Yueheng emerge from the academy.

"Young Master." The burly man stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

"The investigation has been completed. The target is Wang Nan. There are four people in his family. In addition to the target himself, his father, Wang Xing, has the Panlong Staff as his martial soul and is a Soul King. He does not have a ten-thousand-year soul ring. His mother is an ordinary person. He also has an uncle, Wang Yan, who works at Shrek Academy and is a Soul King."

Speaking of Wang Yan, Dai Yueheng understood and continued to ask, "His ancestors included two Soul Kings, so his grandfather's generation should also have been Soul Masters."

"The target's grandfather was indeed a Soul Master, but he died in an accident a long time ago."

"Anything else?"

"According to the records of Xingluo City, the Wang family ancestors fled to Xingluo City more than 600 years ago due to war. At that time, they had no other background in the city, and no other famous figures have appeared in the past few hundred years. They are not clear about what happened before that."

"Hmph, it seems he's just lucky. It takes several generations for someone with such good talent to emerge." Dai Yueheng's eyes flickered as he pondered something.

"By the way, young master, there is one more matter concerning the manor."

"What's going on at the manor?" Dai Yueheng thought for a moment. "Is it related to that mother and child?"

"No, it's about the Second Young Master." The burly man leaned closer and lowered his voice, "A few days ago, the Second Young Master completed his Martial Soul Fusion with Miss Zhu."

"What?"

Dai Yueheng was startled. He had been taught from a young age not to show his emotions, but at this moment he couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

In each generation, two people from the Zhu and Dai families become husband and wife because their martial souls have the potential to fuse.

Originally, Dai Yueheng, as the eldest son of the White Tiger Duke, could have naturally inherited the duke's position, but now, Dai Huabin has achieved a fusion of martial spirits with the Zhu family.

This makes it difficult to predict who will inherit the title. Even if Dai Huabin himself has no intention of vying for the title, the Zhu family behind him will not give up so easily.

Dai Yueheng remained silent for a long time. Although he was unsure of himself, his expression gradually softened due to habits he had developed since childhood.

"Does Father know?"

"We sent someone to inform His Excellency the Duke as soon as the Martial Soul fusion was completed."

"I understand, you can go back now." Dai Yueheng took a deep breath and waved to the burly man. "By the way, pass on the order that my younger brother has completed his Martial Soul Fusion and will definitely be the heir to the White Tiger Duke. Whatever he asks of you, you must do your best to complete it, understand?"

"Yes, young master, I understand what you mean."

"Okay, go do it."
