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

Chapter 46 You're here to eat, right?

The next morning, at the east gate of Shrek Academy.

Ye Xiaosheng took out several strangely shaped flying soul tools from his storage soul tool.

"Senior sisters, this is the latest flying soul tool developed by the Soul Guidance Department. It can be connected to the charging soul tool. When using it, we only need to control the flight angle, which can greatly reduce the consumption of soul power."

Zhang Lexuan took the flying soul tool and examined it carefully. Although Shrek Academy promoted the combination of soul masters and soul guides, and inner court disciples had begun to try using soul tools, this was the first time she had seen such a new product.

"How do I use it?"

"The method of use is the same as other ordinary flying soul tools, except that it needs to be charged every once in a while. One charge is enough for us to fly at full speed for three hours."

Even as a disciple of the Martial Soul system, Zhang Lexuan understood the value of such a soul tool. Ordinary soul masters need to constantly monitor their soul power consumption when traveling in the wild to avoid encountering emergencies, but with this flying soul tool, they don't need to worry at all. If they carry more charging soul tools, they can even fly continuously.

"Alright, everyone switch to these rechargeable flight soul tools."

"And this too." Seeing that everyone had taken the flying soul tool from him, Ye Xiaosheng took out a bunch of other things.

"These soul tools are trigger-type soul shields that the soul guidance system is experimenting with. They do not require the soul master to actively activate them; they can automatically deploy after sensing an attack."

"However, this kind of soul tool is not yet fully completed. The teachers' idea is to at least make a level 7 trigger-type soul tool shield, so that it can be equipped for every Shrek disciple. But right now, only level 4 can be made. The teachers' idea is to let us reserve soldiers use it first."

Although joining the Shrek Academy's Supervisory Committee doesn't come with rewards like gold soul coins, it does grant access to many of the academy's resources. Being able to use the research findings of the Soul Guidance Department immediately is itself a form of reward.

While everyone was putting on their flying soul tools, Zhang Lexuan spoke up and gave instructions, "Xiao Tao and I will walk in front, Senior Sister Han and Ling Luochen will be at the back, and Dai Yueheng and Wang Nan, as offensive soul masters, you are responsible for dealing with enemies and protecting your teammates as soon as possible, so you will be positioned on the sides of the team."

Zhang Lexuan was not only arranging the formation, but also giving the seven reserve team members a practical lesson. "Gongyang Mo and Ye Xiaosheng are in the center of the team, and Xixi is an agility attacker who is responsible for scouting the surroundings. The first rest will be in two hours."

"Let's go." Zhang Lexuan said, activating her martial soul. Six soul rings rose up: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black, clearly indicating her Soul Emperor cultivation. Moreover, as the captain of this generation of Shrek Seven Devils, her strength was even above that of an ordinary Soul Emperor.

Han Ruoruo, the last member of the team, also activated her martial soul. To everyone's surprise, Han Ruoruo, who had always kept a low profile, actually had a total of seven soul rings.

Although no other teachers are accompanying them, one Soul Saint and one Soul Emperor are sufficient to lead an investigation mission.

The group of nine set off from Shrek Academy and headed northeast along the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. With Zhang Lexuan at the front controlling the speed, the formation remained relatively intact.

Although they rested several times along the way, the group arrived outside Lingdou City before nightfall and saw the capital of the Douling Empire in the distance.

"Flying is prohibited above Lingdou City, so we'll land here and then walk into the city," Zhang Lexuan said as she slowed down.

At the very end, Han Ruoruo, who had been talking to Ling Luochen, stopped her conversation and slowly landed on the ground.

This was the first time Wang Nan had traveled this far since arriving in this world. As the country furthest from the Sun Moon Empire, the Douling Empire was least affected by soul tools. From a distance, Lingdou City had a more ancient feel compared to Xingluo City.

Upon entering Lingdou City, Zhang Lexuan led everyone to check into a hotel.

Zhang Lexuan's gaze swept over the seven team members, finally landing on Ma Xiaotao.

"It's getting late today, let's find a place to rest first. Tomorrow morning, Xiao Tao and I will go to the palace of the Douling Empire to communicate with the royal family. After we come back, we will go to Linhai City."

"Get a good rest tonight." Zhang Lexuan said, then suddenly smiled. "Of course, if you really can't sleep and want to wander around Lingdou City, I won't stop you. But remember to take care of yourself. Okay, go back to your room and rest."

Zhang Lexuan booked a room where everyone else, except herself, shared a room with two other people so they could look after each other. Wang Nan and Gongyang Mo, as roommates, were naturally assigned to the same room.

After flying for a day, although his soul power was not greatly depleted, he was still somewhat tired. After returning to his room, Wang Nan sat on the bed and began to meditate.

The surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth energy) continuously surged in. Wang Nan closed his eyes tightly, and as the fatigue in his body gradually dissipated, his soul power also slowly increased.

Since his Dragon Staff underwent a transformation, with the dragon pattern on it becoming a real dragon, his cultivation speed has also increased. Generally, the higher a Soul Master's Soul Power level, the slower their cultivation speed, but compared to when he was a Soul Venerable, his speed has actually increased.

Perhaps this is also a change brought about by one's own talent.

When Wang Nan opened his eyes again, it was already completely dark. The streetlights outside the hotel shone into the room through the window. Gongyang Mo was not in bed; perhaps he had gone out to play.

Wang Nan touched his stomach, feeling it was empty. Ever since he obtained the right arm bone and his physical strength was enhanced by his martial soul, his appetite had been growing bigger and bigger.

Fortunately, the hotel he was staying at provided dinner. Wang Nan closed the door and went downstairs to the lobby, where he saw Ma Xiaotao. She didn't notice Wang Nan, but sat to the side, staring blankly at the wallpaper on the hotel wall, lost in thought.

"You're here for dinner too?"

Upon hearing the sound, Ma Xiaotao immediately turned around to look at Wang Nan.

"I...yes, but the food here isn't very good. I came across a really nice restaurant when I went out just now. How about I take you there to eat? It's on me."

"Oh, so you've already eaten." Wang Nan nodded. "Then there's no need to trouble yourself. I'm not picky; I'll just eat whatever's available, as long as I'm full."

"Oh dear, the food at this hotel is not only bad, but the portions are also small. For the same amount of money, you can buy two servings outside. Let me take you out to eat instead."

Since he started deep meditation, Wang Nan has grown a lot taller. Although he is younger than Ma Xiaotao, he is already taller than her.

However, Ma Xiaotao still managed to drag him out of the hotel, leaving only a lone waiter standing in the lobby.

"I remember the hotel's food was all-you-can-eat, so why are some customers complaining about insufficient portions? I'll ask again later; maybe they changed it sometime without telling me."
