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

Chapter 42 Reconciliation

Wang Nan's movements slowed, but his mind remained sharp. He could sense that the aura emanating from this Tyrannosaurus Rex wasn't some kind of soul skill, but rather the pressure generated by an ancient and powerful aura within its body.

Just like an ordinary person encountering a Soul Master, or a low-level Soul Master encountering a high-level Soul Master, when facing an opponent far stronger than oneself, one inevitably feels the pressure from that opponent. However, the pressure Wang Nan faced came from the Golden Dragon King.

Wang Nan calmed himself down and tried to confront the aura directly. He knew that the owner of this aura was far stronger than himself, even far stronger than the rest of the world, but the Tyrannosaurus Rex in front of him was not the Golden Dragon King, but merely a soul beast that had benefited from its legacy.

Within Wang Nan's spiritual sea, the ball of light seemed to sense Wang Nan's will and immediately shone brightly.

In an instant, golden patterns began to slowly move on the dragon-patterned staff in Wang Nan's right hand, combining in a regular pattern, as if a giant dragon was really climbing on it, its head raised high, and a dragon's roar resounding through the sky.

Wang Nan's right arm trembled slightly as a massive surge of soul power swept back. The lights of five soul-guided thrusters on his back, arms, and legs lit up simultaneously. Wang Nan raised the Panlong Staff high and inserted one end into the Tyrannosaurus Rex's mouth.

With his spiritual power and soul power merging into one, Wang Nan unleashed the Panlong Collapse Technique. As golden light flashed in Wang Nan's eyes, a loud "bang" was heard, as if something had been broken by Wang Nan.

Wang Nan landed back on the ground, the pressure on him gone. The aura emanating from the Golden Dragon King remained undiminished, but Wang Nan was no longer affected.

A milky white light shone from his chest, and the soul power in the charging soul tool surged into Wang Nan's body. He gripped the Panlong Staff with both hands and his gaze fell on the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The second round has begun.

Blood flowed from the Tyrannosaurus Rex's mouth. Even with the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, it was inevitable that its internal organs would be injured by this blow.

With a roar, the Tyrannosaurus Rex attacked again, its head and tail striking the ground repeatedly with a series of loud thuds.

After the dragon's might faded, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was no longer as dangerous as before, and Wang Nan maneuvered around it while continuing to attack.

The battle continued until noon. Wang Nan had exhausted most of his soul power, while the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the other side was also exhausted. After staggering a few steps, it collapsed to the ground with a "thud".

Wang Nan then turned off the soul-guided thruster and let out a long breath.

"Nan'er!" Wang Xing stepped forward and excitedly pressed Wang Nan's shoulder to check his injuries.

On the other side, Yan Huo looked at the Tyrannosaurus Rex with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"I'm fine, Dad," Wang Nan said, preparing to step forward to obtain the soul ring.

Suddenly, the Tyrannosaurus Rex that had fallen to the ground opened its eyes, its gaze filled with determination.

As a dragon, how could it possibly become a human's soul ring?

Its pride as a dragon turned its anger and resentment into a roar, and then the little soul power left in its body gathered together, causing its body to explode violently.

"Be careful!"

Before Wang Xing could finish speaking, a dark red figure arrived suddenly. Amidst a violent roar, three angry howls were simultaneously emitted, and crimson light protected the three of them.

As the light faded, a lion-like spirit beast appeared before the three. It had three identical heads, and its terrifying canines emitted a crimson-gold luster. Beneath its feet lay the dying Tyrannosaurus Rex, now reduced to half its body.

"Don't be nervous." Yan Huo hurriedly stepped forward to the soul beast's side. "This is my elder."

Wang Xing's gaze was uncertain, but after a moment he suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you for saving me, senior."

"It's alright." The soul beast glanced at Yan Huo before saying helplessly.

Wang Nan remained silent, yet he already knew who the girl in front of him was.

However, in his memory, her ability to transform into human form was something that would happen in the future, so why was she in this state now?

"You two should absorb the spirit rings as soon as possible while this Tyrannosaurus Rex is still alive. My elders have already made their move, so I won't be traveling with you."

After saying that, she gave Wang Nan a deep look, bowed slightly, then sat on the back of the soul beast and headed into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Wang Xing kept watching the direction Yan Huo left in until her figure disappeared into the depths of the forest before slowly speaking, "This Miss Yan Huo must be a soul beast in human form."

Upon hearing this, Wang Nan turned to look at Wang Xing.

"What? Although I am only a Soul King, I can still distinguish between Soul Beasts and Martial Soul True Forms. That three-headed lion just now was a Soul Beast. The fact that Miss Yan Huo was able to sit on it makes her identity self-evident."

"Although we don't know why they didn't attack, now is not the time to investigate. Let's take that Tyrannosaurus Rex and retreat to the edge of the forest."

As expected of a Tyrannosaurus Rex with the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, even after self-destructing and losing half of its body, one could still see its chest rising and falling slightly, indicating that a trace of its breath remained.

Wang Nan and Wang Xing carried the severed body and headed out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

……

Starry Sky Forest, core area.

A tall man stood there, with long golden hair flowing down his back, his imposing body easily over three meters tall.

Soon, a dark red figure carrying "Words of Calamity" arrived at this place.

"You're back?"

"Hmm." Yan Huo's voice sounded tired. "I'm going to rest now."

"Go."

Watching "Yan Huo" disappear, the Crimson King couldn't help but speak up, "Di Tian, ​​I don't understand. It was one thing to help drive away the soul beasts before, but this time you're actually helping that human obtain a soul ring and hunt down our own kind."

"Can't you understand why I did this?"

"I don't understand."

"The so-called auspicious beast is a kind of soul beast that is born in response to the times. From the moment it is born, it has already stepped one foot into the threshold of godhood. It will receive the favor of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and it will absorb a huge amount of primordial energy of heaven and earth like a precious treasure."

"Around it, all soul beasts will cultivate faster, and their chances of breaking through bottlenecks will increase. Even their fate will be changed because of it."

"As a favorite of fate, it faces no bottlenecks in its cultivation process, but it is also destined to encounter a calamity because it wields the power of fate."

"In the near future, the auspicious beast will face a calamity that it cannot avoid or escape. Once it fails to survive this calamity, everything it has will be taken away by others." As he said this, a fierce glint flashed in Di Tian's eyes.

"The human you see is the solution to this calamity."

"For the grand plan of our soul beasts, let alone a Tyrannosaurus Rex, I would even sacrifice myself for it."

"From now on, you must protect the auspicious beasts. I can tell you this, but you cannot tell anyone else," Di Tian said, glancing up at the empty sky. "Otherwise, if you utter these words, disaster will surely follow."
