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

Morning, in the classroom of Class 1, Grade 1.

After a few days at the academy, Chu Nan, with his outgoing personality, quickly became acquainted with several active members of his class. Among them were Wang Jinxi, Wei Xiaofeng, and Zhang Yangzi—Tang Wulin's future rivals and teammates in the original novel.

During break, the group gathered around Chu Nan's seat again. Wei Xiaofeng, a chatterbox, kept talking non-stop: "Brother Nan, tell me honestly, how did you cultivate your level 34 soul power? Is there some kind of ancestral secret recipe at home that allows you to level up?"

Chu Nan crossed his legs, looking inscrutable: "The real secret is just four words—efficient meditation. Absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and your soul power will increase when you wake up."

Zhang Yangzi scratched his head: "That sounds a bit far-fetched."

"Tsk, that's the key!" Chu Nan sat up straight. "Ordinary meditation is passive absorption, which is slow! My method is active attraction and precise absorption. When you meditate, you have to use your mind to imagine yourself as a vortex, and find the 'qi' that your martial spirit 'likes to eat.' For example, I specifically attract energy with spacetime fluctuations. How could the efficiency not be high?"

Wang Jinxi looked bewildered: "How do I pinpoint it? Aren't all the energies mixed together?"

"Feel it, bro!" Chu Nan slapped his thigh. "Use your martial soul's instincts to sense things! Just like when you're hungry, you know whether you want to eat meat or vegetables. Of course, this requires a tiny bit of talent."

That's what he said, but he thought to himself, "Even though we practice the same system, I can't exactly say 'I'm cheating,' can I? That would ruin the atmosphere."

Wei Xiaofeng was skeptical: "I have a feeling you're making this up."

A classmate chimed in, "Brother Nan, talking the talk is no walk in the park."

Chu Nan chuckled, "Indeed, but these past few days of just attending theory classes have been a bit boring. Soul Masters need to get moving to be exciting." He thought to himself, "I was sleepy in class in my past life, and I'm still sleepy in class in this life. The knowledge just won't go into my brain! Fighting is much more practical; at least I don't have to memorize anything."

…………

As they were talking, Gu Yue walked into the classroom. She saw Chu Nan surrounded by people, paused slightly, then naturally walked to her seat and greeted him softly, "Good morning, Chu Nan."

Chu Nan smiled and replied, "Good morning, Gu Yue."

As soon as Gu Yue sat down, someone at the door shouted, "The teacher is here!" Instantly, the students who had been surrounding Chu Nan scattered and returned to their seats, disappearing faster than rabbits.

Watching all this, Chu Nan thought to himself, "These guys were just acting like brothers a moment ago, but the moment they heard the teacher was coming, they ran away faster than anyone else. What a fake brotherhood!"

Ye Yingluo walked into the classroom, her gaze sweeping over the students below, a half-smile playing on her lips: "It seemed quite lively just now? I think I heard some people discussing... how to make class more 'interesting'?"

Chu Nan's heart sank: "No way, the teacher heard what I just said? Oh no, I'm going to get in trouble with her!"

Ye Yingluo changed the subject: "However, the students are right. Today's theory class will be replaced with a practical class. Let's go! To the playground."

The whole class cheered. Chu Nan breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a gaze on him. He turned his head and met Gu Yue's purple eyes. Chu Nan's playful side kicked in, and he lowered his voice, "Gu Yue, why were you staring at me like that? Were you captivated by my handsome looks? Let me tell you, back in my hometown, people line up to praise my good looks."

Gu Yue was clearly taken aback, then quickly turned her head away, her ears turning red: "...It's nothing."

Her mind, however, was in turmoil: "The Dragon God... how could he be so undignified? But, his smile... is indeed quite handsome. No, no, what am I thinking! He is the Dragon God, I must remain respectful!"

…………

On the playground, Ye Yingluo first arranged for Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi to compete. Both were in their twenties and fought evenly, with Wang Jinxi ultimately winning by a slight margin.

Then, she looked at Chu Nan and Gu Yue: "Gu Yue, Chu Nan, you two have a match. Keep it brief."

The sidelines fell silent instantly—a clash of geniuses between the Class of '34 and the Class of '26! The students' eyes widened, afraid of missing a single frame.

The two walked to the center of the field. Chu Nan clasped his hands in a fist and said with a grin, "Gu Yue, please go easy on me, don't make me cry."

Gu Yue's lips twitched slightly as he thought, "Why does the Dragon God act like a street thug?" But he still calmly replied, "Please give me your guidance."

After exchanging pleasantries, both sides began to summon their martial spirits.

Chu Nan's soul power surged, and the phantom of a spatial dragon appeared, possessing his body. Chu Nan's eyes glowed with silver light, the space around him slightly distorted, and a faint dragon's might spread out. The students on the sidelines gasped, and Wei Xiaofeng immediately shrank back: "Holy crap, this aura..."

Gu Yue felt the oppressive aura, her purple eyes flashing wildly with silver light, her heart pounding at 180 beats per minute: "This oppressive aura... it really is the Dragon God! There's no mistake! This noble aura that surpasses everything, there's no one else like it in the Soul Beast Realm!" She almost knelt down on one knee and cried "Master" on the spot, but thankfully reason held her back.

She also released her martial spirit, and the elementalist possessed her, with four-colored elemental light swirling around her, making her look like a walking firework.

Soul rings rose beneath their feet. Chu Nan had two blue and one green soul rings—self-formed soul rings, their colors quite different from ordinary ones. The sidelines erupted again: "The colors are so strange! Green?" "Never seen soul rings like this before!" Gu Yue had two purple soul rings, two thousand-year soul rings, causing another sensation.

Seeing the color of Chu Nan's spirit ring, Gu Yue became even more certain: "His spirit ring is formed from scratch, and its color is completely different from ordinary ones. This must be a manifestation of the Dragon God's original power! How could an ordinary human have such an extraordinary phenomenon? He is the person I'm looking for!"

"start!"

Gu Yue struck first, unleashing a barrage of fireballs, wind blades, and ice spears—a deluge of projectiles raining down as if they were free. Chu Nan thought to himself, "This is too intense! What happened to 'stopping while we're at it'? Are you trying to roast me alive?!"

Chu Nan's third spirit ring lit up—Spatial Warp. A rift appeared in front of him, he stepped into it, and disappeared. The next second, three steps behind Gu Yue, a rift appeared again, and Chu Nan emerged, his fist enveloped in silver light already upon him.

Gu Yue reacted extremely quickly, raising an earthen wall to block the attack. But Chu Nan retreated immediately after his strike, disappearing again and reappearing from another angle. He was a hit-and-run operator, appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

The students on the sidelines were dumbfounded: "Where are they? Where are they?" "How are we supposed to play? We can't even touch them!"

Wei Xiaofeng exclaimed, "Brother Nan's fighting style is like something out of a ghost story."

Chu Nan was secretly pleased: "Hehe, didn't expect that, did you? My 'sixth man' tactic is the perfect way to deal with anyone who dares to defy me."

Gu Yue was on edge, constantly wondering where Chu Nan would appear from. But far from being annoyed, she was even more excited: "Yes, that's it! To use spatial power so skillfully, truly worthy of the Dragon God!"

Chu Nan displayed his two soul skills with incredible skill—his spatial teleportation was unpredictable, appearing and disappearing left and right; he would seize any opportunity to follow up with a spatial pressure attack, either tripping her or slamming her head down. The moment Gu Yue's wind blade was unleashed, Chu Nan had already flashed behind her; as she turned to defend, a sudden weight pressed down on her feet, nearly causing her to do the splits. With this series of maneuvers, he had Gu Yue completely outmaneuvered.

Gu Yue silently wept in her heart: "Lord Dragon God, are you using me as a sparring partner? Although I am honored, could you please stop toying with me like this?"

Finally, Chu Nan seized an opening, appeared behind Gu Yue, and lightly touched the back of her neck with his finger: "Thank you for the favor."

Gu Yue froze, turned around, a strange light in her eyes, and then said softly, "I lost." She added in her mind, "Losing to the Dragon God is not shameful."

…………

Ye Yingluo stepped forward, her eyes full of admiration: "Excellent! Chu Nan, your use of martial soul abilities is incredibly imaginative. Gu Yue, your elemental control is also remarkably precise. This duel is something everyone should learn from."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the group: "Chu Nan, Gu Yue, Wei Xiaofeng, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi, the five of you, come to my office after class."

The five people whose names were called out exchanged bewildered glances. Wei Xiaofeng leaned close to Chu Nan's ear and asked, "Brother Chu, why did Teacher Ye want to see us? Did she write you down in her notebook for bragging in class?"

Chu Nan shrugged: "You'll find out when you get there."

He glanced at Gu Yue, who happened to be looking over as well. Their eyes met briefly, then she quickly looked away, a blush still lingering on her cheeks.

Chu Nan thought to himself, "This girl is so fierce when she fights, how come she becomes shy again afterward? Is the Silver Dragon King's character really that complicated?"

He had no idea that Gu Yue was frantically reviewing the battle, every detail becoming new evidence to prove that "Chu Nan = Dragon God," and was planning how to convey this "good news" to Di Tian and the others.

A gentle breeze blew across the edge of the playground. Chu Nan stretched, thinking, "This academy life is finally starting to get interesting."
