Douluo Dragon King: The Twin Dragons of Time and Space, Mistaken for Dragon God

Inside the Ascension Platform.

The moment the Fiery Wolf pounced, Chu Nan didn't even lift his eyelids.

With a casual flick of his left hand, he activated his first Soul Skill—Time Lag. The wolf's movements instantly slowed to 0.5x speed, as slow as a rusty wind-up toy. With a light tap of his right index finger, he activated his first Soul Skill—Spatial Pressure.

"Bang!"

The wolf's head was shoved into the ground, its four legs kicked twice in the air, and then its entire body exploded into countless points of light.

Chu Nan absorbed the faint energy and sensed it—and there it was, the spirit ring's age remained unchanged. His overpowered ability to condense spirit rings on its own proved immune to this kind of monster experience.

"What a pity, it's useless to me." He shook his head and sighed. "Who understands the loneliness of condensing one's own soul ring? While others are leveling up by fighting monsters, I'm just playing around."

Just as they were about to venture deeper into the area, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from afar.

Wang Jinxi?

Chu Nan's ears perked up, and he activated Spatial Teleportation, disappearing from his spot in a few flashes.

…………

In a clearing in the woods, Wang Jinxi was struggling to hold on.

His Bone Dragon King Martial Soul was already at its maximum, his entire body covered in a ghastly white bone armor. But at this moment, the armor was covered in cracks, and one of his legs was entangled in a sticky spider web, rendering him unable to move. He could only use his arms to block the sharp spider legs that were stabbing at him from all directions, and each block made his arms go numb.

The human-faced spider is three meters tall, with eight scythe-like legs that gleam coldly in the sunlight. The hideous human-face pattern on its abdomen looks like a distorted ghost face, and it constantly spews out sticky spider webs from its abdomen, trying to trap its prey into a mummy.

Wang Jinxi's bone armor was already broken into several pieces, blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he was about to give up.

"Damn it... If only Brother Nan were here..." He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

Chu Nan crouched on a tree branch and observed for a few seconds. This human-faced demon spider had about eight hundred years of cultivation, much stronger than the Fiery Wolf from before, but to him... it seemed to be nothing special.

"You idiot! Keep your head down!" Chu Nan shouted.

Upon hearing Chu Nan's voice, Wang Jinxi instinctively crouched down, covering his head. His movements were fluid and practiced, as if he had rehearsed them—he was familiar with this move, a conditioned reflex he had developed from being beaten by Chu Nan during training.

Chu Nan waved his left hand and unleashed his second soul skill—Time Cage! A silvery-white light barrier appeared out of thin air, trapping the human-faced demon spider within. Its eight scythe-like legs struggled frantically, but their movements were like a horror movie paused on time, unable to move.

At the same time, his right hand unleashed the second soul skill—Space Tear! The dark golden dragon claw tore through space, precisely piercing the human face pattern on the abdomen of the human-faced demon spider.

That's its weakness.

"laugh--"

The dragon claw pierced through, and green sap gushed out. The human-faced spider let out a mournful screech, its body trembling violently. Its eight legs flailed wildly in the air a few times before exploding into countless specks of light.

Chu Nan landed, clapped his hands as if he had done something insignificant: "Hurry up and absorb it, it'll be enough to make you grow a lot."

Wang Jinxi scurried over, grinning sheepishly, "Brother Nan, you're amazing! I almost thought I was going to die here!"

…………

Outside the Ascension Platform, in the monitoring room.

Long Hengxu stared at the screen, his jaw nearly dropping: "This...this is it? An eight-hundred-year-old human-faced demon spider! All in less than ten seconds!"

Wu Changkong stood aside with his arms crossed and a blank expression, but there was a clear hint of approval in his eyes: "Chu Nan's combat awareness is top-notch, and his use of soul skills is also very precise. His soul power consumption should not exceed 30%."

"He's only from the Third Ring Road!" Long Hengxu's voice changed.

"That's why he's called a genius," Wu Changkong said calmly, his tone unusually tinged with admiration.

Long Hengxu swallowed hard, remaining silent. In his heart, however, he thought, "Just what kind of monster is this little rascal? A top-tier VIP of the Spirit Pagoda, and his strength is so monstrous..."

At that moment, both instrument compartments opened simultaneously. Wei Xiaofeng and Zhang Yangzi crawled out, their faces pale, each more disheveled than the last.

Wei Xiaofeng emerged with a long face, looking like a wronged little wife: "I was chased by a swarm of beast bees through three groves of trees... I couldn't shake them off, and in the end I was stung to death... those bees even veered in different directions!"

Zhang Yangzi leaned weakly against the instrument cabin, saying listlessly, "I originally wanted to climb a tree to observe the terrain, but a flying soul beast spotted me and chased me, pecking at me for half the distance. I couldn't outrun it, so I had to give up..."

Wu Changkong stared at them expressionlessly, his tone as cold as a winter wind, each word a deadly blow: "Foolish. Cowardly. Meditate and reflect. Giving you places on the Ascension Platform is a waste."

The two walked dejectedly to a corner, sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and looked utterly hopeless.

…………

Inside the Ascension Platform, Wang Jinxi, having absorbed the energy of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, was full of energy and excitedly shouted to Chu Nan:

"Brother Nan! My soul ring cultivation level has increased! It's increased by a lot!" He was as excited as a 400-pound child, wishing he could do a somersault on the spot.

Chu Nan casually swatted a few passing small soul beasts to death and said nonchalantly, "Not bad, not bad. Keep up the good work and strive to go solo next time, and become the King of Soloists as soon as possible."

"I can't do that." Wang Jinxi scratched his head sheepishly. "If it weren't for you, Brother Nan, I would have become the human-faced spider's dinner long ago."

The two were walking forward when suddenly! A violent fight and shouts came from ahead.

Chu Nan and Wang Jinxi exchanged a glance and quickened their pace to catch up.

…………

Pushing aside the bushes, Chu Nan saw Tang Wulin's right hand burst forth with dazzling golden light—golden scales covered his entire palm, and his five fingers transformed into sharp dragon claws, carrying an incomparably domineering aura as they fiercely tore open the chest of the armored bull in front of him.

Xie Xie harassed the bull from the side, leaving white marks on its body with his Light Dragon Dagger. Although it couldn't break through the bull's defense, it successfully attracted the bull's attention, buzzing around its head like an annoying fly.

Tang Wulin seized the opportunity and plunged his Golden Dragon Claw into the bull's chest.

"Roar—" The bull let out a deafening howl, its massive body crashing to the ground, shaking the earth.

Chu Nan sighed inwardly, "This is the original cheat code! Tearing apart a thousand years with bare hands, the Golden Dragon King's bloodline is indeed awesome. But... no matter how strong the cheat code is, it can't beat me. After all, my cheat code was given to me by the system, and it's all-natural and pollution-free. His has to slowly unlock it himself, and he also has to worry about this nuclear bomb boy all the time."

He stood up, and the Space Dragon Martial Soul instantly possessed him, his eyes glowing with silver light.

"First Soul Skill - Spatial Pressure!"

The bull struggled to get up, but was crushed by the weight of the empty air, its limbs sinking into the ground, unable to move, just like the stable boy being pressed down by the Five Finger Mountain.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie seized the opportunity to deliver the final blow, and the bull finally dissipated into specks of light.

"Hurry up and absorb it, stop dawdling! Another one will come soon!" Chu Nan shouted.

The two nodded and began absorbing the bull's energy.
