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

The Small Changes Brought by Chapter 55

After Wang Nan and Mu En finished chatting, there was no one else to be seen on the mountain where the Sea God Pavilion was located. Wang Nan left alone and followed the mountain path to the foot of the mountain, but unexpectedly met someone there.

"Second Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Although Wang Yan is a teacher, even teachers from other departments at Shrek Academy are not allowed to enter Seagod Island at will, especially since the most important Seagod Pavilion is located on this mountain.

Wang Yan was later able to enter Seagod Island because he led Shrek Academy, which had an incomplete membership, to win the Soul Fighting Tournament. As a result, the academy made an exception and granted him the qualification to enter and leave Seagod Island.

"Nan'er, what are you doing here?"

Wang Yan's face was also filled with surprise.

Although they don't see each other often, Wang Yan still cares about his nephew. Therefore, he knew that Wang Nan had participated in the Inner Academy assessment. Based on his understanding of Wang Nan's strength, he was not surprised that Wang Nan was able to stay in the Inner Academy, but he did not expect him to come to the Sea God Pavilion.

The uncle and nephew exchanged a smile, and then Wang Nan explained, "A teacher wanted to see me, so I came here to chat for a while."

Wang Yan's eyes widened slightly.

Although Wang Nan did not explicitly say which teacher it was, someone who could live here must be an elder of the Sea God Pavilion, and judging from Wang Nan's tone, it was more than just an ordinary relationship.

"By the way, Second Uncle, you still haven't told me why you came to the inner courtyard?"

Wang Yan composed himself and said, "I'm here about some matters related to the surveillance mission."

"Is Second Uncle going on a surveillance mission?" Wang Nan's smile faded. All the teachers at Shrek Academy were members of the Shrek Surveillance Team, and Wang Yan was no exception. Surveillance missions were never absolutely safe.

"Don't worry, I just came back from a mission." Wang Yan looked at Wang Nan's expression and explained, "Some time ago, the academy received news that there were traces of evil soul masters in the Douling Empire, involving a sect that has been wiped out, the Tianlin Sect."

Wang Nan's expression became somewhat subtle upon hearing this. Why did this sect sound so familiar?

"I've heard about the Heavenly Scale Sect before. Rumor has it that they have a secret technique that can evolve a martial spirit. As you know, I've always been dedicated to martial spirit research, so I also participated in the investigation of this news."

"So, is there any result yet?" Wang Nan asked curiously.

Wang Yan shook his head upon hearing this, "Although we have confirmed the presence of evil spirit masters, they were already gone when we arrived."

"The other investigators are still investigating based on the surrounding clues. I came back first mainly for the Tianlin Sect. I have applied for the qualification to read some of the inner courtyard's books to see if I can find any information related to the Tianlin Sect and perhaps get some clues from it."

Wang Nan knew that Wang Yan's talent for cultivation was average, so he had always been engrossed in the research of martial souls. The books and materials in Shrek Academy's inner court were the most precious treasures in his eyes. Now that he was able to take this opportunity to look through the books, even if it was only a small part of them, it would be enough to excite him for a long time.

Of course, what Wang Nan didn't know was that even the elders of Shrek Academy had to go through complicated procedures to access the inner academy's library. Wang Yan's ability to gain access to the inner academy's library as an outer academy teacher was partly due to Wang Nan's efforts.

"Then you go up first, Second Uncle, I won't keep you any longer."

"Alright, then you..." Wang Yan looked at Wang Nan as if he wanted to say something, but then he remembered that Wang Nan was already an inner court disciple. The words he wanted to say turned into something else, "After entering the inner court, cultivate well and remember to protect yourself."

"I will," Wang Nan nodded. "Second Uncle, please be careful too."

"Um."

Wang Nan watched Wang Yan ascend the mountain peak, then turned and headed towards the dormitory. He had just entered the inner courtyard and didn't know what kind of dormitory he was assigned to. Also, he needed to move his luggage from the outer courtyard as soon as possible, otherwise he wouldn't have anywhere to rest at night.

Perhaps influenced by the golden ancient tree, the plants on Poseidon Island are very lush, and tall trees grow on both sides of the road.

Relying on his memory of Cai Meier leading him here, Wang Nan followed the winding path for a while before finally seeing the red dormitory building again. Someone was already waiting for him downstairs.

Wearing a red school uniform, Ma Xiaotao stood with her hands behind her back. When she saw Wang Nan coming over, she turned to the side, raised her pretty face, and waved to him.

"Congratulations on passing the inner court assessment."

"You're so well-informed." Wang Nan took two steps forward, and Ma Xiaotao naturally followed beside him.

"I wouldn't say I'm particularly well-connected; the inner court assessments are usually around this time each year. By the way, which teacher has the academy assigned you to train with?"

"Hmm, it should be Vice Dean Cai," Wang Nan said after thinking for a moment. "Dean Cai said before that if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask her."

"I see. I heard that Dean Cai's martial soul is the Evil-Slaying Dragon Soul Spear. You both have weapon martial souls, so you must have many similarities."

Wang Nan nodded upon hearing this. Not only are they both weapon spirits, but the spear and the staff also share some similarities in their usage. It seems he will have to consult Dean Cai more often in the future.

As the two entered the dormitory building, they saw an inner court disciple coming down the stairs. Upon seeing Ma Xiaotao, he stopped in surprise and politely greeted her as "Senior Sister Xiaotao."

"Xiao Tao... Senior Sister?" Wang Nan glanced at Ma Xiao Tao. This inner court disciple looked much older than Ma Xiao Tao.

"You should know that the inner court disciples are ranked."

Wang Nan nodded. Cai Meier had mentioned to him that the academy encouraged inner court disciples to spar, and had even created a ranking list based on their strength.

"That disciple was behind me in line," Ma Xiaotao explained. "The inner courtyard doesn't have a grade system. The chief disciple is called senior brother or senior sister. I don't know when it started, but some inner courtyard disciples have also started calling them by that ranking, and those ranked higher are called senior brother or senior sister."

Where are you ranked right now?

"A dozen or so."

Shrek Academy has about sixty inner disciples, among whom the strongest, the chief disciple, even possesses the cultivation of an eight-ring Soul Douluo. Ma Xiaotao's ability to rank in the top ten with only a five-ring Soul King cultivation is enough to prove her talent.

"Awesome." Wang Nanchong and Ma Xiaotao gave each other a thumbs up.

"Why don't you give it a try? With your skills, someone should be able to call you 'senior brother' by now."

"Let's talk about it next year. After I finish the enrollment procedures for the inner academy, I want to ask for leave to go home first."

Unlike the external academy's promotion assessment, the internal academy's assessment, to accommodate the sixth-year students who are about to graduate from the external academy, is held at the end of the semester. Therefore, the internal academy's assessment ends close to the end of the year.
