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

Chapter 168 Technology and Ruthless Work

Yes, a clone! This suspicious shop owner was none other than one of Nan Fusheng's clones.

When Nan Fusheng first parasitized others, he did so to experiment on the differences between ordinary people and Soul Masters, and he parasitized quite a few ordinary people. Even after the experiment ended, Nan Fusheng did not recycle or dispose of them; instead, he let them develop on their own.

Unexpectedly, I've now encountered my own alter ego in Shrek City, and it's even become the owner of a barbecue restaurant. And most importantly...

"Why are you all in Shrek City? Is this where the clones usually gather?" Nan Fusheng looked at the four customers who were left in the store.

One was a burly man, two were ordinary young men, and the last one was actually a student of Shrek Academy!

These four were all clones of Nan Fusheng, plus the shop owner who was grilling. Apart from himself and Fors, the small shop was now crammed with five clones of Nan Fusheng.

However, despite being in the same room, these clones showed no intention of communicating at all, treating each other like complete strangers.

"Does this count as me being a shill for myself?" Nan Fusheng suddenly thought to himself for no reason.

"Here comes the little flying stick!" At this moment, the shop owner walked over, dragging a tray in his hand, and said some strange joke.

Looking at the tray, Nan Fusheng saw various barbecue items such as squid and lamb skewers, but on top of it were two starch sausages.

"Hey, tell me the truth, you didn't add anything weird to this starch sausage, did you?" Nan Fusheng grabbed the shop owner's clothes and whispered.

"Don't worry," the shop owner said, patting his chest. "It's all high-tech inside, no hard work."

"I don't trust you at all." Nan Fusheng rolled his eyes. "What about the rest?"

"Um, I soaked the squid in water beforehand to make it look fresher and more tender. Plus, with all the additives, wow, the taste is amazing."

"For the lamb skewers, I use duck meat as filling. During the preparation process, I add our special lamb flavoring, along with various additives for coloring, and finally season with cumin and other spices. The taste is even better than the meat of most ten-year-old sheep spirit beasts."

The more the shop owner talked, the more excited he became, completely unaware that Nan Fusheng was already furious. Damn it, you guys are so heartless!

"If you want to take the flavor to the next level, you can use lamb tail fat. During the grilling process, the sizzling oil will coat the entire skewers with lamb fat, making them even more like lamb skewers."

"I can sell mutton at the price of some cheap imported duck meat. I'm such a genius!" The shop owner said with a proud look at the end.

"Us? You're doing this as a group! And will your business be any better if you do this?" Fors noticed this detail.

"Of course, I have a complete supply chain behind me, and don't be fooled by the fact that there aren't many people here now. But at night, among all the barbecue restaurants on this street, who can beat me?"

I've hired five or six staff members, but they all work the night shift. Because the shop is so small, many customers have to queue outside in the evenings, and even after queuing, they can't eat inside; they have to eat outside.

Delicious, pure starchy sausages, affordable lamb skewers, and all sorts of other barbecued items. Anyone living on this food street knows me, the "Barbecue King Xiao Huohuo."

Looking at the shop owner who had already struck a pose, Nan Fusheng just wanted to slap him. How could he be so smug about being a heartless merchant? He really wasn't afraid of death!

And it's one thing if they're just messing with other people, but now they're even messing with him, their original self.

Seemingly noticing Nan Fusheng's unusual expression, the shop owner quickly said, "Of course, I'm giving you all normal food. I guarantee there's no technology or anything fancy about it; it's all completely natural."

"After all, you can't cheat yourself, right?" Of course, the shop owner conveyed this sentence directly to Nan Fusheng through the unique telepathic ability of his clone.

……

Meanwhile, in Mingdu.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy

Unlike Shrek Academy, which has a more rustic feel, the facade of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is actually a tall building with several huge characters on the top: Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

It appears to be a single metal building from the outside, and the buildings below extend outwards, connecting with three other buildings to form a cluster.

Judging from its size alone, it far exceeds the scale that a typical advanced soul master academy should have.

At this moment, inside the second-best academy on the continent, a huge battle arena is where the freshmen of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy are gathered.

"Now I officially announce that the semi-final of the Class 1 Freshman Class Monitor Selection Competition will be between Lu Fa and Long Chen, who is ranked tenth on the Youth Genius Ranking. Please enter the arena now."

In this grand arena, built entirely in imitation of an ancient gladiatorial arena, two teenagers emerged from the passageways on either side.

The boy who emerged from the left passage was dressed in the white uniform of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Surprisingly, his hair and even his pupils were a rare platinum blonde, perfectly complementing his handsome features.

This caused the girls in the audience to shout the boy's name loudly.

"Road method, road method..."

This young man was none other than Lu Fa, a special clone of Nan Fusheng, created with considerable effort. His martial soul was Platinum Behemoth.

At the same time, another young man emerged from the passage on the right. He was Long Chen, ranked tenth on the list of young geniuses, with the martial soul: Holy Dragon of Light.

Long Chen was a tall and handsome young man who seemed to radiate light. Although he looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, he was very tall and could be compared to an adult.

On the competition stage, Lu Fa and Long Chen looked at each other across the distance, their expressions indifferent, seemingly unaffected by the shouts from the audience.

The biggest difference between the two is that Lu Fa is naturally emotionally detached, while Long Chen has a calm and steady personality.

"Both sides step back and prepare for the match. Step back one hundred meters." Floating in the air was a middle-aged man named Dang Hongchen.

He is Lu Fa's homeroom teacher, a Soul Douluo with a cultivation level of over 80, and also a three-word Battle Armor Master.

"The match begins!"

It was accompanied by a loud shout from a middle-aged man.

Lu Fa and Long Chen charged at each other simultaneously.

As Long Chen ran, a dragon's roar suddenly emanated from his body. Immediately afterward, his height increased by three inches, and four spirit rings rose from beneath his feet.

Four purples!

Yes, all four of his spirit rings were purple.

His opponent, Lu Fa, didn't even activate his Martial Soul, and charged straight at him.

I've been so busy lately, delivering goods. I don't get a break until 11 p.m., so all these words were typed out in my spare time.

To be honest, I only knew the content a little earlier than you readers. Please understand.
