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

Chapter 30 Promotion Tournament Postponed

After the match, Wu Changkong glanced at the four people on the stage below, but did not comment on their battle before heading towards the dormitory building.

"Is Teacher Wu satisfied or dissatisfied with us?" Xie Xie asked Tang Wulin, puzzled.

Tang Wulin shrugged. "How would I know? But I guess they're letting us figure it out ourselves."

Gu Yue nodded. "We shouldn't have taken the initiative. When Ito Makoto disappeared, our first reaction was to attack the Gu brothers instead of guarding against Ito Makoto's sneak attack."

If we continue to defend on the ground, the three in the sky will have no choice but to take the initiative and will naturally come within our attack range. Once they come down, we will have no chance at all.

If they insist on running away with their flying martial spirit, there's nothing we can do, but in this kind of competition, they have absolutely no chance.

But Makoto Ito is different. If he had seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, he might have been able to eliminate one of us. We can't be so impulsive next time.

Xie Xie turned to Tang Wulin beside him and said, "Wulin, she said you're impulsive. I'm not one to stir up trouble. I don't know what kind of temper you have, but if she said that about me, I wouldn't stand for it."

Tang Wulin sincerely said to Gu Yue, "It was my first time facing a flying Soul Master, and I was indeed impulsive at the time. I'm sorry!"

Xie Xie exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, I have to say, you have such a good temper! She criticized you, and you even apologized."

Gu Yue chuckled. "Sowing discord won't work. To put it mildly, it's called admitting your mistakes and correcting them; to put it more broadly, it's called gentlemanly conduct. Do you think everyone is as petty as you? Wu Lin, I'll treat you to a meal tonight. But just one meal."

Tang Wulin laughed and said, "Alright! Even a fly is meat. Let's go. I'm hungry."

Nan Fusheng watched the three of them playfully bickering quietly. After the competition yesterday, the three of them went out together, and their relationship seemed to have become much more harmonious.

At least Gu Yue no longer looked at Xie Xie with the eyes of someone looking at "small fry". Although the two of them still bickered, it was more like playful fighting between friends.

After dinner, Xie Xie suggested going outside the academy for some fun, but Nan Fusheng and Tang Wulin refused outright. Tang Wulin's reason for refusing was simple: he needed to cultivate.

Nan Fusheng had just begun meditating when he saw Wang Ba and the other two walk in. "It's bad, it's bad! Fusheng, you'd better go out and see! A group of people are blocking the entrance to our academy. They seem to be quite powerful. And... and they're holding photos of Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue, demanding that the academy hand them over."

Upon hearing this, Nan Fusheng raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry about them, they'll be fine." After saying that, Nan Fusheng ignored Wang Ba and the others and continued his cultivation.

Early in the morning, Nan Fusheng went straight to the cafeteria for breakfast, but he noticed that Tang Wulin seemed to be preoccupied.

Xie Xie, on the other hand, was chatting energetically with Tang Wulin. When he saw Nan Fusheng, he winked at him, "Fusheng, you probably don't know what happened yesterday!"

"What happened? You mean yesterday, Teacher Wu unleashed her power and gave Guang Biao, the captain of the Donghai City Mech Squad, a good beating?"

"How did you know?" Xie Xie asked in shock.

"Everyone in the college knows about this. How did you guys offend them?" Nan Fusheng rolled his eyes and said.

"Oh, that makes sense, but we didn't mess with him, we messed with his brother." Xie Xie's expression turned indignant as he recounted how despicable Guang Biao's brother, Guang Long, was—bullying men and women, committing all sorts of evil deeds—and how they had fought a fierce battle to defeat him. He concluded by saying…

"But you definitely didn't see Teacher Wu's battle scene with your own eyes. He defeated Guang Biao, who was also a six-ring Soul Emperor, with just two sword strikes."

"Young man, I not only witnessed how your dance teacher defeated the opponent, but I also experienced it firsthand," Nan Fusheng thought to himself, without responding to Xie Xie's words.

Yesterday, Xie Xie personally experienced the battle between Wu Changkong and Guang Biao through the Time Worm that was parasitizing Wu Changkong, but he didn't tell Xie Xie about it.

Eating, studying, and the class promotion competition—that's how Nan Fusheng's day went.

However, Nan Fusheng noticed that Tang Wulin and his two companions were pointed at and talked about a lot throughout the day, naturally because of the incident at the door the previous day.

To the surprise of many, Tang Wulin and his two companions were not punished by the academy. Everything was normal, as if nothing had happened.

Even more students gathered to watch Wu Changkong, and many teachers joined in as well. Yesterday's battle had elevated the aloof male god's reputation to a new level within the academy; he was no longer just the girls' idol, but the entire academy's.

But Wu Changkong himself didn't react to any of this and remained unchanged.

In the after-school match against Class 2 of Grade 1, Nan Fusheng, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie didn't exert much effort, as their opponents only had one Soul Master with a yellow hundred-year Soul Ring. Facing the coordinated attack of Nan Fusheng's group, the four of them were helpless, and Xie Xie, with Gu Yue's firepower support, easily defeated them.

With three wins out of three matches, plus yesterday's gate-blocking incident, Class 5 of Grade 1 has finally become the focus of attention.

Tomorrow is a rest day. After the rest day, they will face the challenge against Class 1 of the first year. Class 1 of each grade is completely different from the other classes because it is full of the most outstanding geniuses of that year. For at least twenty years, Donghai Academy has not had a record of Class 1 of the same grade being defeated by a subsequent class in the promotion competition.

On their day off, Tang Wulin and his two companions invited Nan Fusheng to go to the East China Sea Museum, but Nan Fusheng declined, saying he had other commitments.

After the three of them left, Nan Fusheng watched their retreating figures and thought, "Is Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline finally about to break through the first seal?"

The auction house in Donghai City is jointly organized with the Donghai Museum.

Although Nan Fusheng had only been in Donghai City for a short time, he had used the ability of the Time Worm to steal dreams and obtained a lot of information from some of the teachers, including details about the distribution of various forces in Donghai City and the detailed address of the auction house.

That's right, Nan Fusheng has finally made a move against the teacher. Ever since he discovered that he could not be detected even if he parasitized the Soul Emperor, Nan Fusheng has been collecting the Time Worms from the senior students.

He parasitized some of the teachers. The recruitment requirements for teachers at Donghai Academy were that they must have a cultivation level of at least four-ring Soul Master, which was better than those students. However, he just randomly chose one or two to parasitize, after all, he now had Wu Changkong, a 'Soul Emperor' level power bank.

However, they can't always rely on Wu Changkong for support; they need to switch partners occasionally, since Wu Changkong is, to some extent, their backer.

"If I remember correctly, there will be a strong typhoon that lasts for a week next, which will cause the promotion tournament to be suspended, giving Tang Wulin time to collect the spiritual items needed to break through the Golden Dragon King's seal. I wonder if Ah Yin and her husband did it."

Nan Fusheng thought about it a lot, but in the end he decided to cultivate first. Only when he became strong enough would he be able to seek opportunities.

Sure enough, around dusk, the college's loudspeaker suddenly came on.

"Attention teachers and students! Attention teachers and students! This is an emergency announcement. We have received notification from the meteorological department that a severe tropical storm will arrive tonight, and this typhoon is expected to last for more than a week. Therefore, please do not leave the campus for the next week. All classes are suspended; please remain in your dormitories. The promotion tournament is suspended and will resume after the typhoon passes."
