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

Chapter 71: Equipment Dropped

Wang Nan's soul power was completely depleted, and even the light from the soul-guided thrusters on his body dimmed.

Gongyang Mo flapped his seven-colored wings, carrying him into the air and embracing Wang Nan in his arms.

"Xiao Nan, how are you?" Gongyang Mo looked at Wang Nan with concern, his emotions not yet fully calmed down.

Even in Shrek Academy, a school known for its geniuses, Gongyang Mo rarely heard of anyone who could head-on confront an opponent with a soul power level of 70 without being defeated, let alone Wang Nan, who had defeated his opponent in a direct confrontation.

"It's alright." Wang Nan grinned. Although Ji Tongxuan's soul power once reached level 70, he only had six soul rings and did not have the true strength of a Soul Saint. In the end, Wang Nan still won.

However, Wang Nan absorbed the full force of the final blow. Even with the defensive boost provided by Gongyang Mo's fourth soul skill, he felt his internal organs churning violently, and the bones in his arms felt as if they were broken. His right arm, which possessed a soul bone, was in relatively good condition, but his left arm was almost completely immobile.

Moreover, Wang Nan had no soul power left in his body, and even his body felt much heavier. With difficulty, Wang Nan raised his right hand and struggled to grasp the charging soul tool hanging on his chest.

Wang Nan was also afraid that he might encounter a situation where his soul power was insufficient to open the storage soul tool, so he always kept his charging soul tool hanging in front of his chest and did not put it into the storage soul tool.

Compared to his completely depleted soul power, Wang Nan's mental strength had actually increased significantly. At this moment, he was controlling the soul power in the charging soul tool to slowly flow into his body.

After they landed on the ground, Gongyang Mo took out two more emerald green pills and gave them to Wang Nan to take. A quarter of an hour later, Wang Nan felt much better and, with Gongyang Mo's help, stood up straight.

Wang Nan looked around. The ground here had been stained blood red, with many fragments of organs mixed in. The three low-level evil soul masters who had been knocked unconscious by Wang Nan's soul cannon were still unconscious.

Gongyang Mo also saw the three evil soul masters.

"You rest for a bit, I'll go tie them up first," Gongyang Mo said, heading over.

"Wait a minute." Wang Nan tugged at him, then coughed twice to calm his chest discomfort. He took off his invincible shield from his chest. "Take this with you. Have you forgotten what I told you? Evil Soul Masters' methods are unpredictable, and some of these Evil Soul Masters might have already woken up and are waiting to ambush you."

As Wang Nan spoke, his eyes were fixed on the three unconscious men. Seeing that they hadn't moved, he then let Gongyang Mo go over.

While recovering his soul power, Wang Nan kept looking around.

Soon, he saw what he was looking for—a blood-red soul bone.

Unlike spirit rings, spirit bones are not permanent. Spirit rings disappear upon the death of a spirit master, while spirit bones remain. Therefore, many large families possess inherited spirit bones.

Wang Nan slowly walked over and picked it up.

Without a doubt, this was an external soul bone, a sternum. It was precisely because of this that Ji Tongxuan, while under the influence of his martial soul seal, managed to block Wang Nan's "point".

This soul bone was about the length of a palm, with red veins on it like blood vessels. When Wang Nan held it in his hand, he noticed that it was still trembling slightly, and there seemed to be a faint "thump-thump" sound like a heartbeat coming from the soul bone.

"Is this Ji Tongxuan's soul bone?" Gongyang Mo was not in danger and quickly tied up the three evil soul masters before coming to Wang Nan's side.

"Yes, you..."

Wang Nan had only said a few words when Gongyang Mo interrupted him, "Then you should hurry up and put it away. Once you get back to the academy, absorb it as soon as possible. External soul bones are even rarer than 100,000-year soul bones."

"After all, you defeated Ji Tongxuan head-on, and as a support-type Soul Master, I don't need it." Gongyang Mo winked as he spoke, then held Wang Nan's invincible shield up to his eyes. "If you still feel bad about it, how about giving this to me as an exchange?"

Wang Nan looked at Gongyang Mo and suddenly smiled. How could the value of an invincible shield be compared to that of an external soul bone? Gongyang Mo only said that so that he could accept the external sternum bone with a clear conscience.

In truth, without Gongyang Mo's assistance, Wang Nan's own soul power would not have been sufficient to withstand that final blow. However, after hearing Gongyang Mo's words, Wang Nan didn't say anything more, but simply made a mental note of it, and then stored the external sternum into his storage soul tool.

"Alright, then you can have it. Let's go check on the children first." Wang Nan said, taking off his cloak with one hand and putting it away so that the things on it wouldn't frighten the children.

Gongyang Mo took out a lighting soul tool from his storage soul tool and followed behind Wang Nan.

Upon entering the room, one finds twelve children, both boys and girls, some lying down and some sitting. The oldest is around ten years old, while the youngest is only six, and they appear to have just awakened their martial spirits.

As soon as Wang Nan and Gongyang Mo entered the room, the light emitted by the illumination soul tool dispelled the darkness in the room, and all the children looked up at them with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Only near the window was there a little girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with a calm look in her eyes, and two somewhat nervous little girls leaning against her.

"Gurgle~"

I don't know which child's stomach made that sound.

"Sigh." Wang Nan sighed, looked around, and finally walked to the little girl near the window. He took out some food from his storage soul tool and handed it to her. "You guys share this first. It's dark now and it's hard to travel. I'll take you back to Tianming City when it's light tomorrow."

Watching the girl take the food, Wang Nan gestured to Gongyang Mo beside him, "Let's go out first. They won't dare to speak if the two of us stay here."

"Okay." Gongyang Mo nodded, and just as he was about to leave, he turned back and left the illumination soul tool in the room.

Once outside, Wang Nan kicked one of the evil spirit masters awake.

The evil spirit master seemed not to have figured out the situation. As soon as he opened his eyes, he wanted to fight Wang Nan to the death. He only stopped when he realized that no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free of the iron chains binding him.

The chains on these evil soul masters may look ordinary, but they are actually used by Shrek Academy to bind ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. This evil soul master's soul power is only around level thirty, so how could he possibly break free?

"Tell me, what are you doing here?"

This evil spirit master had guts; seeing no hope of escape, he remained silent.

Wang Nan shook his head and didn't ask any more questions. He didn't know anything about interrogation methods, so he decided to take him back to Tianming City and let Duke Baihu ask him.
