Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 103 Current Situation

"My soul power has reached level 30? No, that's not all. If I acquire another soul spirit, my soul power should continue to surge."

Nan Fusheng also sensed his own soul power and discovered that he had unknowingly reached level 30. This must be because the part of his life force that he had sealed away during his advancement was absorbed by his body, which caused his soul power to surge.

At the same time, his mental strength also experienced a surge, far exceeding any previous increase.

Sequence Four is known as "demigods and humans." Starting from Sequence Four, Extraordinary beings are no longer considered human. Both physically and in terms of status, they have embarked on the path of "gods."

At the same time, Nan Fusheng also noticed a problem: when he advanced to the fourth rank, his emotions became a little detached. Not that his emotions disappeared, but rather that they became detached.

Just like humans looking at insects, with a sense of superiority.

To him, the potion that came with the Source Castle seemed to have no trace of the previous users; this potion seemed to be incredibly pure.

Yes, it's pure. Why do the extraordinary beings in Lord of Mysteries lose control so easily? Besides the fact that the underlying logic of that world is chaos and madness.

The reason for this is the mental imprint left by the previous extraordinary person who took the potion.

Alternatively, it could be the influence of those in higher positions on those in lower positions within the same pathway. For example, among the three pathways of the Lord of Mysteries, the closer one is to a higher sequence, such as becoming sequence four, sequence three, or even higher, the more rituals are needed to assist in advancement.

This is because the closer one gets to a higher sequence, the easier it is for the Celestial Consciousness hidden deep within the potion to revive and replace the Extraordinary One.

Other pathways are similar, all involving the influence of higher sequences on lower sequences; the closer they are, the more they resemble the apex of that sequence.

That's why rituals are needed to help increase the success rate while also allowing one to maintain their individuality.

Nan Fusheng discovered that he was different. His biggest problem when he advanced to demigod was the pain of splitting his mind and the feeling of not being able to recognize himself after the split.

As for the so-called Celestial Consciousness, there's nothing there. It seems he was the original owner of this power, though of course, his detached emotions after becoming a demigod are also a problem.

If left unaddressed, as his rank rises in the future, his emotions will likely become increasingly indifferent, eventually turning him into a truly aloof deity.

That feeling was unpleasant, after all, he was a person who enjoyed life and didn't want to become a hermit who ignored worldly affairs.

"My body seems to be changing too?" Nan Fusheng felt his own condition, but he didn't know where the change was. However, he was sure that the change was for the better.

"What should we do with them next?" Nan Fusheng looked at the remaining six members of the Water Dragon Squad. Should they be killed, and used as nourishment while retrieving the Time Worms? Or should they be kept alive?

"Zhang Wuji cannot be killed. His family still wields considerable influence in Tianhai City, and his talent is also quite good, allowing him to become an avatar. However, the other six are somewhat lacking."

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the Tianhai Gymnasium, over on the other side of the ring.

Even after Nan Fusheng and the others left, the atmosphere at the scene did not cool down at all; on the contrary, it seemed to be getting more and more intense, with the audience discussing it enthusiastically.

"It was totally worth it! The ticket price was absolutely worth it. To get to see the legendary Shrek Team play twice in a row! And to witness their defeat—that's definitely big news!"

"Waaaaah! How could my invincible Shrek team fail? I demand a thorough investigation of the Water Dragon team members; I suspect they cheated!"

"Hey, what's the point of always watching the Shrek team win? Think about it, seeing this legendary, invincible team lose is much more precious than seeing them win! Such a sight is rare!"

"Waaaah, what do you know? I spent tens of thousands of Federal Coins betting on Shrek to win, and now they've lost. My money! (╥﹏╥)"

"The Water Dragon Team is awesome. The geniuses from Tianhai City will never lose to anyone. So what if they are the legendary Shrek Academy? They still lost to us."

"Pah, that's because they're just ordinary students from Shrek Academy. Didn't you see there were two ten-year-old kids in Shrek's team? They didn't even send out their full strength."

Clearly, people's joys and sorrows are not shared. After seeing the rumored Shrek Academy defeated, most people were excited. After all, seeing a legend come to an end is much more exciting than seeing a legend still standing.

Not to mention that most of the people in this stadium are from the East China Sea region, and many are even locals from Tianhai City. How could they not be happy to see people from their own region and city defeat outsiders?

Meanwhile, below the arena, Shen Yi, who was holding Ye Xinglan, didn't look too good. They had lost. The Shrek team, which had been "invincible throughout the Federation" for ten thousand years, had lost. Even though they hadn't sent out their strongest lineup, a loss was a loss!

Although his expression was grim, Shen Yi immediately checked Ye Xinglan and the other Shrek team members to see if they had any injuries. Fortunately, they were only knocked unconscious and were otherwise unharmed.

The organizer who claimed to be Zhang Sanfeng disappeared at some point, but fortunately, staff members helped carry the Shrek team back to the medical room.

After everyone was taken to the infirmary and the medical staff told him that the team members were all fine, Shen Yi finally felt relieved. However, the next thing on his mind was how to explain things to the academy...

The academy placed such trust in him, yet he failed in his duty, causing Shrek Academy's reputation as a "monster" to be tarnished.

In Shen Yi's view, this defeat was entirely his own responsibility. If he hadn't agreed to a rematch in the first place, the Shrek team would never have lost, and...

Shen Yi sighed as she looked at Ye Xinglan, who had been silent since entering the medical room. Although she hadn't known Ye Xinglan for very long, she had come to understand the child's personality after spending some time with her.

Ye Xinglan is a good child in every way, except that she is too stubborn. For this child, the honor of Shrek Academy is absolutely inviolable.

If she doesn't properly guide Ye Xinglan after this failure, given Ye Xinglan's personality, she'll probably get stuck on it.

Thinking about this, Shen Yi felt very tired, but she still tried to comfort Ye Xinglan.

"Xinglan, your teacher knows that this incident has been a huge blow to you, but please listen to your teacher..."
