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

Chapter 97 Great Skill Lies in Simplicity

"Since you're not feeling well, go and rest. Elder Xuan is right here; you can ask him to take a look," Wang Nan said gently to Wang Dong'er.

"I'm sorry." Wang Dong'er bowed her head to the crowd, then turned and ran towards the edge of the arena.

"Xiao Nan, this..."

Wang Nan's smile remained unchanged. "It's alright. Anyway, we have one more person on our side, so it's fair now. Besides, it's just a regular training session. Does saying I'm a pig really turn me into a pig?"

The others smiled upon hearing this and quickly let the matter of Wang Dong'er pass.

The remaining time passed quickly as everyone meditated, and an hour went by in no time.

Once again on the stage, Wang Nan's side was much more particular this time. Gongyang Mo and Xiao Xiao stood at the back, Xu Sanshi and Ye Xiaosheng were in the middle, and Wang Nan and Jiang Nannan were at the very front.

"Let's begin," Xuanzi said casually, then sat down next to Wang Dong'er. "How are you feeling now? If you're still not feeling well, I'll have someone take a look at you."

"Thank you, Elder Xuan, but it's not necessary."

Seeing that Wang Dong'er's complexion wasn't too bad, Xuanzi nodded and focused his attention on the arena.

As the two teams drew closer, just like in the previous match, various metal pipes began to rise from He Caitou's body.

Wang Nan's fourth spirit ring lit up for the first time in front of several outer court disciples. He was covered in golden armor that resembled dragon scales, and a faint aura of power emanated from him.

Huo Yuhao, whose spiritual attribute was the most affected, felt it most acutely. He sensed that his spiritual detection range had actually decreased under the influence of this pressure.

Even though he was affected, Wang Nan still entered Huo Yuhao's mental detection range, and He Caitou's soul tool attack came first.

However, the dozen or so beams of light only left a few ripples on the golden dragon armor before losing all their power. The difference in soul power of more than twenty levels and the defensive power of the golden dragon armor meant that Wang Nan had no need to worry about He Caitou's attacks.

Wang Nan and Dai Yueheng, who were at the forefront of the two teams, had already met. After half a year of training, Dai Yueheng dared not underestimate the combination of Wang Nan and Gongyang Mo. Seeing Wang Nan surrounded by a rainbow-colored halo, Dai Yueheng's first, third, and fifth spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

With the three soul skills of White Tiger Protective Shield, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, and White Tiger Demon God Transformation simultaneously activated, the tiger claws extended forward, slapping towards Wang Nan with a strong murderous aura.

Knowing that Dai Yueheng had Huo Yuhao's assistance, Wang Nan realized it was impossible to trick or confuse him. So he simply didn't dodge or evade, gripped the Panlong Staff tightly with both hands, and his first and second spirit rings shone as he swept his hands towards Dai Yueheng.

Compared to the imposing aura emanating from Dai Yueheng, Wang Nan's strike seemed rather "ordinary," like an ordinary person casually waving a wooden stick picked up from the roadside, which lightly landed on Dai Yueheng's tiger claws.

The next instant, Dai Yueheng stumbled backward, taking dozens of steps before finally regaining his balance.

On one side, Wang Dong'er was watching the arena, her gaze first falling on Huo Yuhao. For some reason, she felt a strange attraction to Huo Yuhao.

Wang Dong'er quickly shook her head, banishing the strange thoughts from her mind, before looking back at the arena. She immediately saw Wang Nan knock Dai Yueheng back.

"Elder Xuan, why did Senior Brother Wang's attack seem so weak, yet it managed to knock Senior Brother Dai back so far?"

Xuanzi pulled out the thigh of some kind of bird from somewhere, took a big bite, and then mumbled, "That's a very skillful technique for using strength."

"In a battle between Soul Masters, the one who appears more powerful is not necessarily the strongest. As the saying goes, true skill lies in simplicity. He has achieved a certain level of control over his own Soul Power, concentrating all his strength within his body, and can precisely use every bit of power in his attacks."

"It may seem like it has no power to us, but only the person who takes that attack will know its true strength."

Wang Dong'er blinked her pinkish-blue eyes twice. "How long does it take to master this skill?"

Xuanzi glanced at her sideways and said, "This requires talent. Soul masters need mental strength to control their soul power. Without enough mental strength, even a Title Douluo cannot do what he does."

There was one more thing Xuanzi didn't say. That is, if Wang Nan can maintain this level of power control at the sixth ring, he won't encounter any bottlenecks even when he breaks through to the Title Douluo level.

Wang Nan used the inspiration he got from Ma Xiaotao.

While compressing his own soul power, he comprehended a method for condensing his own power. Under the same soul power consumption, his attack could reach 120% to 200% of its original strength.

With a single blow, Wang Nan knocked Dai Yueheng back. Seeing that Xi Xi and Bei Bei were already rushing towards their own formation, Wang Nan had no time to deal with them. At this moment, he could only trust his teammates, so he focused his attention on Huo Yuhao.

How can you fight a war without first targeting the enemy's radar?

When Ling Luochen's Ice Prison took shape, Wang Nan's first soul ring was still active. He simply flashed away from his original spot and arrived in front of Huo Yuhao.

Dai Yueheng had already caught up from behind, and Wang Nan only had one chance to strike.

Huo Yuhao raised his arms, his hands becoming as smooth as jade, clearly using the Tang Sect's ultimate technique, the Mysterious Jade Hand. Not only that, the two white soul rings around him had merged into one, and his hands, exposed outside his sleeves, looked like he was wearing a pair of diamond gloves, emanating a chilling aura.

Wang Nan pulled the Panlong Staff back with both hands, then suddenly lunged forward.

Seemingly slow, the tip of the Dragon-Coiling Staff landed on Huo Yuhao's hands in the next instant. The diamond-like gloves shattered after only a moment of resistance.

However, Huo Yuhao did not feel any pain. With his mental detection, he was able to sense that Wang Nan's Panlong Staff had stopped steadily the moment it broke through his Ice Emperor Claw.

Xuanzi appeared on the arena and took Huo Yuhao down with him.

"Such strong control." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice rang out from Huo Yuhao's sea of ​​consciousness.

"What did you say, Brother Tianmeng?"

"Do you remember when that old guy defeated Wufeng last year?"

"Of course I remember."

"That old guy was actually using your own mental power, but it was precisely because of his exquisite control over mental power that he was able to easily defeat that little girl named Wu Feng."

"I must say that you humans are indeed blessed with extraordinary talent. We soul beasts may never be able to achieve this level in our entire lives."

Huo Yuhao nodded as if he understood, then looked around and saw a pair of pink and blue eyes staring at him.
