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

Chapter 62 Golden Crow True Fire

Not long after the sun rose into the sky, a red figure leaped across the lake towards the island of Poseidon, the breeze it created rippling across the lake.

It was Wang Nan, who had already absorbed his fifth spirit ring.

As he had expected, absorbing a 20,000-year soul ring was not difficult for his physical strength. After the consciousness of the mutated white tiger contained in the soul ring was captured by the ball of light and entered Wang Nan's spiritual sea, the soul power in the soul ring entered Wang Nan's body without reservation.

Level 53, that's his current soul power level.

Not long after landing on Seagod Island, Wang Nan saw a dozen or so inner court disciples surrounding the arena not far away, with shouts coming from time to time.

Disciples who can enter the inner court are usually either carrying out supervisory duties or diligently cultivating, so it is rare to see them gathered together like this.

"Senior brother, what happened here?"

Wang Nan arrived at the edge of the arena and asked a disciple from the inner court beside him.

The inner court disciple turned around and, seeing that Wang Nan was an unfamiliar face, explained, "You're a disciple who just entered the inner court last year, right? As you know, the inner court encourages disciples to spar with each other. The inner court disciple on the arena is the famous Golden Crow Saintess, Senior Sister Wu Ming..."

The inner court disciple in front of Wang Nan had only spoken halfway when a gaze turned in his direction.

The disciple seemed to shiver, his mouth quickly closing. No matter how much Wang Nan asked, he wouldn't speak, only gesturing towards the arena with his mouth.

"Junior brother, since you're so interested in your senior sister, why don't you come and try your skills on the arena?"

Upon hearing this voice, the surrounding disciples all turned to look at Wang Nan, and many of them showed a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

"Junior brother, you should go up. The Golden Crow Saintess is known for her warlike nature in the inner courtyard. So far, no one who has been targeted by her has been able to escape," the inner courtyard disciple advised in a low voice.

"Junior brother, since you know me so well, how about I defeat him and you're next?"

"Hiss—" The inner disciple gritted his teeth and took a breath, then fell silent.

"Alright, I'll need your guidance, Senior Sister." Wang Nan leaped up and jumped onto the arena.

Wang Nan had just obtained his spirit ring, and he needed to test its effects to be more effective in future battles. Even if Wu Ming hadn't actively invited him to fight, he would probably still have wanted to find someone to test the effects of his spirit skill.

"That depends on your skill level. If you can make me happy, I'll definitely give you more guidance in the future."

As soon as Wu Ming finished speaking, golden-red Golden Crow True Fire rose from her body, instantly illuminating the entire arena. Six spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, and black—rose from beneath her feet.

Her second spirit ring lit up, and a cluster of golden-red flames danced in her palm. In the next instant, intense flames spread from around her body to the entire arena. This was her second spirit skill, Golden Crow True Fire.

The moment Wu Ming activated her martial spirit, Wang Nan felt an intense heat. Wang Nan had often sparred with Ma Xiaotao, but her flames were completely different from the ones before him. With Wu Ming's martial spirit activated, it was as if another sun had risen before him.

As a sea of ​​fire spread from Wu Ming's side toward his feet, Wang Nan lightly leaped, and his body actually floated in mid-air.

Although it was only a level three soul-guided propulsion device, it was still very useful in battles between Soul Kings and Soul Emperors. In fact, after Wang Nan obtained his fifth soul ring, the consumption of soul power was even less, allowing him to float in the air for a longer period of time.

However, since the academy promoted the use of soul tools by soul masters, Wu Ming has obviously fought against soul masters who quickly accepted soul tools.

Seeing Wang Nan rise into the air was not surprising at all. Instead, her first soul ring lit up, and she unleashed her first soul skill, Golden Crow True Fire Break.

She clasped her hands together, and a golden-red pillar of fire shot out from her hands, hurtling straight towards Wang Nan.

Wang Nan dodged, but saw a smile on Wu Ming's face.

None of the disciples who can enter the inner courtyard are simple, especially Wu Ming, who has a considerable reputation in the inner courtyard.

She circulated her soul power, and with a slight movement of her hands, the pillar of fire changed direction and followed Wang Nan like a shadow.

Wu Ming's ability to survive various battles in the inner courtyard and earn a formidable reputation is largely due to her exceptional control over her soul skills. Even some soul masters with higher cultivation levels would find it difficult to control their soul skills as freely as she does.

Seeing this, Wang Nan stopped dodging. He pulled out the Panlong Staff with his backhand. Without using any soul skills, a faint dragon roar was heard from the Panlong Staff. The pillar of fire behind him was split open by his staff.

Seeing this, Wu Ming wasn't annoyed. After all, it was only her first soul skill, and she couldn't expect it to have much power. Forcing Wang Nan to stop was already her goal. She then let out a low shout, pointed her right hand to the sky, and her fourth soul ring shone brightly, sending a red orb the size of a dragon's eye soaring into the sky.

The ball of light was small at first, but it quickly swelled in the wind and then crashed down towards Wang Nan. This was the fourth soul skill, Golden Crow True Fire Ring.

Wu Ming truly deserves the title of "Active Volcano." They had only just begun their fight when he unleashed three soul skills in quick succession, showing no regard for the use of soul power, and bombarded Wang Nan relentlessly.

The fireball fell, and the powerful impact and flames rose from Wang Nan, engulfing him completely. But soon, a black shadow burst out of the flames.

Wang Nan was now wearing a black suit of armor, the dark gold plates gleaming in the firelight like dragon scales.

Besides greatly enhancing Wang Nan's defense, the Overlord Armor also provides some boosts in other aspects. At this moment, his soul power circulation speed is faster, and the effect of his first soul skill is also stronger.

Wang Nan threw the dragon-coiled staff in his hand, stomped on it with both feet, and rushed towards Wu Ming like an arrow. Then, with a flick of his right hand, the staff drew a semi-circle in mid-air and fell back into his hand.

He charged toward Wu Ming faster and faster, as if stepping on his own foot with his left.

Sometimes, speed is also a form of power. Using this momentum, Wang Nan raised the Dragon-Panning Staff and slammed it down hard towards Wu Ming.

Wu Ming didn't seem to have any defensive soul skills; he simply dodged away hastily.

Wang Nan knew about the deception when he fought Sun He during the entrance examination. Now that they were in the inner academy, why would he use such an obvious trick?

Before the strike could land, the Panlong Staff changed direction in mid-air and swept towards Wu Ming.

Wu Ming glanced back, then suddenly lunged into Wang Nan's arms.

At the same time, her third spirit ring lit up, and a crimson light appeared around her. Her third spirit skill, Golden Crow True Fire Explosion, was released, and she was like an extremely unstable fireball about to explode in front of Wang Nan.
