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

Chapter 94 Destiny

Holidays are always short, and Wang Nan only stayed at home for a few days before returning to Shrek Academy.

As usual, Wang Nan sat in front of the Sea God Pavilion, gradually waking up from his meditation. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Mu En and Xuan Zi sitting together talking about something.

Xuan Zichong glanced at him and, seeing that he was awake but not trying to hide it, continued speaking to Mu En, "Elder Mu, I'd like to select a few second-year disciples for the preliminary rounds of this Soul Battle Tournament."

Mu En looked increasingly old, pausing before each sentence, "Besides that girl with twin martial souls, who else have you taken a fancy to?"

"There's another disciple named Huo Yuhao. Last year, he only revealed one martial soul, which was his eyes. This year, after the start of the semester, he suddenly revealed his second martial soul, which is the ultimate ice. Because of this, Shao Zhe even went to the Soul Guidance Department to ask for his help."

Upon hearing this, Mu En's eyes widened slightly. "Twin Martial Souls, Original Martial Soul, Ultimate Martial Soul?"

"Exactly. However, his innate soul power is not high. He barely passed last year's freshman assessment and didn't even get a spot as a core disciple. It's not like the talent one would expect from someone with twin martial souls. This year, after just one holiday, there has been such a big change. There must be other reasons behind this."

"Where is he from?"

"According to the investigation, he should be from the Star Luo Empire and live with his mother in a village near Star Luo City."

"Then let it go. Every Soul Master who becomes famous on the Douluo Continent has their own opportunities. Shrek Academy is, after all, just an academy; we shouldn't interfere too much with our disciples." Mu En shook his head slightly, not letting Xuanzi pursue the matter further. "Anything else?"

"There's another interesting girl. Her registered martial soul is the Goddess of Light Butterfly. She also concealed her identity when she entered the academy, but after our investigation, we found that she is from the Clear Sky Sect, and her second soul ring is a thousand-year soul ring."

"So this is another case of twin martial souls?"

Xuanzi nodded. "That's right. No soul bones were found on her body, only twin martial souls. Moreover, the second martial soul is a very powerful one, which is why the second soul ring is purple."

Moon's expression was complex, it was hard to tell whether he was sighing or thinking about something else. "Alright, then let the three little ones go and broaden their horizons."

"Hmm." Xuanzi nodded. "But with that, plus one disciple from the Soul Guidance Department, there are only three spots left. As for Beibei..."

"Bebe should rely on himself," Moon waved his hand gently. "No need to give him special treatment."

Xuanzi thought for a moment. There were only three fifth-grade disciples who were of suitable age, and Beibei had a good chance of being selected. So he said no more and got up to go to the outer courtyard to prepare for the core disciple selection competition.

After waking up from his meditation, Wang Nan did not leave immediately. He heard Mu En and Xuan Zi's conversation clearly.

Indeed, there are no coincidences in this world; many things are preordained.

……

Another month passed, but Ma Xiaotao still hadn't returned. However, with the Soul Fighting Tournament drawing ever closer, Wang Nan and the others had no choice but to continue their training.

That morning, Wang Nan led the other five regular team members to the outer courtyard's Soul Fighting Zone.

Not long after, on the other side, Bei Bei, He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, and the three little guys Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong'er from the second grade walked in with Xuanzi.

Seeing the blood-red school uniforms that represented the inner court disciples, Huo Yuhao and the other two felt their hearts race. They had only just entered their second year, unlike Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, and this was their first time encountering the inner court disciples.

The red-clad students in the inner courtyard represent the strongest fighting force of Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao spotted Wang Nan among the group at a glance, and his breathing became even more rapid.

The four older disciples' expressions changed slightly, and their movements became somewhat restrained. Even Xu Sanshi, who was usually always laughing and joking, became serious after seeing the inner court disciples.

The group stood opposite Wang Nan and his companions.

Xuanzi nodded. "The Soul Battle Tournament will begin in about ten days. You should be able to guess each other's identities. That's right, you are the main and preliminary team members for this Soul Battle Tournament. Today, I'm having you meet. Firstly, it's to let you get to know each other, and secondly, it's to let you familiarize yourselves with each other's abilities."

Despite saying that, Wang Nan knew that Xuanzi had specially arranged this meeting to demonstrate the abilities of Huo Yuhao and the other two in front of the inner court disciples, so that they would not look down on them because of their young age.

Xuanzi looked at Huo Yuhao and the other six, "Don't think you're just spectators in this competition. On the contrary, barring unforeseen circumstances, you all have the potential to participate. You can even compete against weaker opponents. However, during the competition, you must obey the orders of the main team members. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Hearing the seven people answer in unison, Xuanzi then looked at Wang Nan's group. "Alright, now let's introduce ourselves. The inner court disciples are older, so let's start with you."

Wang Nan gave a gentle smile, took half a step forward, and looked at the seven preliminary team members.

Seeing Wang Nan's expression, the other preliminary team members breathed a slight sigh of relief. This senior from the inner court seemed quite approachable.

"Inner Courtyard, Wang Nan, Level 66 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Emperor."

All the eyes of the preliminary team members were focused on Wang Nan, and the breath they had just breathed out was sucked back in.

This seemingly gentle inner court senior, whose aura was completely concealed within him, was actually a Soul Emperor, and his soul power level had already surpassed that of most of the outer court teachers.

"Inner Court, Dai Yueheng, Level 64 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Emperor."

Huo Yuhao glanced at Dai Yueheng before quickly looking away, then unconsciously turned his gaze to Wang Nan. He knew that Wang Nan would appear with Dai Yueheng, so he couldn't be too bad, but he didn't expect that Wang Nan's cultivation level would actually surpass Dai Yueheng's.

"Inner Academy Soul Guidance Department, Ye Xiaosheng, Level Six Soul Guidance Master."

The person who reacted the most after hearing this was He Caitou. As a fellow disciple of the Soul Guidance Department, he was clearly more interested in Ye Xiaosheng.

"Inner Courtyard, Xixi, Level 56 Agility-Attack Type Battle Soul King."

"Inner Courtyard, Ling Luochen, Level 55 Control-type Battle Soul King."

"Inner Court, Gongyang Mo, Level 59 Support-type Battle Soul King."

Gongyang Mo's words immediately drew attention; his pitiful appearance made him seem even more beautiful than the female disciples.

Xu Sanshi opened his mouth, his eyes widening in disbelief. The Gongyang Mo before him reminded him of an incident that had occurred three years ago at the shores of Poseidon Lake.
