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

Chapter 350 The Rapidly Digesting Potion

The top eight have now been determined: Zui Hongchen, Lu Fa, Tang Wulin, Yuan En Ye Hui, Shen Wei, Long Yue, and two random Soul Kings.

Among them, five people from Douluo Continent alone occupied positions.

It's safe to say that, at this point in the competition, the Douluo Continent team is practically guaranteed a spot in the semifinals or even the finals.

Meanwhile, on the Star Luo Continent side, Monster Academy only had one player, Long Yue, enter the arena. It's safe to say that the Star Luo Empire is under immense pressure. If an outsider were to win the individual competition, wouldn't it make them appear like they have no capable young talents?

According to the competition division, Lu Fa's opponent in the semi-finals should be Zui Hongchen, while his opponent in the semi-finals will be either Tang Wulin or Yuanen Yehui.

News reports and publications were everywhere. Of course, many headlines read things like, "Outsiders to Douluo Continent, go back home!"

However, there is no doubt that the two teams from Douluo Continent have been recognized for their strength.

And the following matches unfolded exactly as most people predicted.

In the quarterfinals, Zui Hongchen voluntarily conceded defeat to Lu Fa, allowing him to advance to the semifinals.

The match between Tang Wulin and Yuanen Yehui ended with Yuanen Yehui voluntarily conceding defeat. She did this so that Tang Wulin could better conserve his energy.

Shenwei and Longyue also successfully entered the top four.

Next up is the main event of this match.

Lu Fa faces off against Tang Wulin.

Kamui, facing off against Long Yue.

Three members of the teams from Douluo Continent have made it to the semifinals. This means that no matter what happens next, the people from Douluo Continent will definitely advance to the final.

This was absolutely a slap in the face for the Star Luo Empire.

Back at the Xingluo Grand Hotel, Lu Fa finally rubbed his ears, managing to quiet down. Because of Zui Hongchen's voluntary surrender, he was merely going through the motions today.

As outsiders, these people from Douluo Continent were not very welcome to begin with, and they inevitably received a lot of insults from the audience before the competition.

This situation is even more serious, especially since he recently beat up Dai Yun'er and just defeated Dai Yueyan.

If I had to use a metaphor, his current situation in the Star Luo Empire would be like that of a rat crossing the street. Every time he went to the Star Luo Grand Stadium, he had to wear a hood or use his mental power to hide himself.

Otherwise, given his current situation, if he dared to appear before the people of Xingluo, he would be torn to shreds. After all, he had given the nation's little princess, the apple of the Xingluo emperor's eye, a sound beating.

The future heir to the throne was also beaten up by him just a day earlier. No matter how you look at it, the people of the Star Luo Empire must hate him to death. Except for terrorists.

"Now let's see what those people from the Star Luo Empire can be so arrogant about. At first, they were all bragging about being monster kings, but look at them. Only one of their top four made it to the Dragon Leap."

Back at the hotel, Zui Hongchen immediately began to boast excitedly. He was really impressed by the boastful people from Xingluo who had recently visited, and how they had insulted them, the guests from Douluo Continent, in a very nasty way.

She was overjoyed to finally have a chance to prove herself.

Xue Liushuang immediately reassured her, "Alright, Xiaozui. Don't be so excited. That Long Yue's strength is not to be underestimated."

That's what she said, but Xue Liushuang couldn't help but smile, and the others were in a similar situation.

Fighting in a foreign land while facing rejection and abuse from the people of the Star Luo Continent, how could they not feel any pressure? They were just forced to suppress it.

Now that their captain has achieved such a record, and the others have also achieved good results, how could they not be happy?

Drunken Red Dust (ˇˇ): "You didn't see that scene with your own eyes, the expressions on the faces of those Xingluo people, and the faces of those referees. The way they wanted to vent their anger but had nowhere to vent it was truly hilarious."

"If Shenwei eliminates Longyue too, I really don't know what they'll do next."

Upon hearing Zui Hongchen's words, everyone turned their attention to Shenwei, because his opponent in the semi-finals was Long Yue.

"Are you confident?" Lufa asked.

"Don't worry, you know my strength too well." Kamui smirked. "That Ryuu has no chance of making it to the finals."

"Is that so?" Lufa nodded, saying nothing more.

……

The Shrek Academy group's room.

As Nan Fusheng processed the potion, he sighed softly, "Only half digested? How am I supposed to deceive my mentor? And where did this half-digestion speed come from?"

The digestion of the potion becomes easier as the game progresses, because the actor is already a high-ranking character and has gradually grasped the rules of his role; it just takes a little longer.

The case of Cthulhu becoming a god in three years is like being forced into it, and his path to godhood was deliberately planned by certain people, which is why his later transformations were so rapid. Because he was already on the right path from the very beginning.

But Nan Fusheng was different. He wasn't very clear about the rules of deceiving his mentor, and he had only recently discovered this inexplicable speed of digestion.

I didn't do anything, so how come the potion is starting to digest?

"Are there multiple clones, just enough to play the role of deceiving the mentor?"

For some reason, Nan Fusheng recalled this incident once again. It could speed up the digestion of his magic potion, so it seems that his clone did quite a lot.

"However, among the clones I currently possess, which one has such great influence? Qian Gu Qing Feng and the others don't seem like the type to be involved in fraud, do they?"

The process of digesting a potion involves deliberately playing a certain role. If you can create a huge impact and increase people's impression of that role, then the progress of digesting the potion will increase rapidly.

However, no matter how much Nan Fusheng thought about it, he still couldn't understand why his clone had such influence.

A councilor from Tianhai City? The president of the Tianhai City Blacksmith Association? The tower master of the Tianhai City Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Bubai? Or the patriarchs of those powerful families in Tianhai City? Or perhaps Qian Gu Qingfeng and his wife, Xia Lengzheng?

Do they specialize in deceiving others? Teaching others how to deceive? Or did they do something against the laws of nature, yet still succeeded in the end?

Given their status and position, apart from the last matter, it's hard to imagine that anything else could be related to them.

"Never mind, it's a good thing anyway." Shaking his head, Nan Fusheng didn't think too much about it. Anyway, the faster the potion was digested, the stronger he would become, so it was a good thing no matter how you looked at it.

Let's think about the Dragon Valley Small World first.

"Na'er has also come to the Star Luo Continent, so Gu Yue should take her there too, right?"

A strange light flashed in Nan Fusheng's eyes. Gu Yue had no reason not to take Na'er with her on this trip, because they were one. Even if it was just their human side, they were still dragons after all.

If Na'er goes too, then he might have to face the complete Silver Dragon King. With Gu Yue's abilities, they might be able to unleash their full power.

After all, the Dragon Valley Small World is, to some extent, independent of Douluo Star. There, the rules of heaven and earth should not suppress the power of soul beasts at the god level. In other words, Gu Yue may very well be able to use god-level power.

"That's a good opportunity to test what level my power has reached."

Everything needs to be considered in light of the facts. Nan Fusheng was unsure how much of Gu Yue's power he could unleash after the seal was broken.

But the minimum requirement should also be at the god-level, so he needs to use Gu Yue's hand to test whether he has reached the god-level standard.

……

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Tang Wulin focused his mind entirely on his internal body. His blood and qi surged, and the pale golden bloodline aura merged with the milky white Xuan Tian Gong soul power, flowing smoothly like the Yangtze River, making his entire body feel completely clear.

The semi-finals are tomorrow. Tang Wulin is neither overly nervous nor relaxed, even though he knows very well that the final result will probably not be good. The absolute gap in strength makes it difficult for him to win.

But he still wants to give it his all, no matter what the final result is, he will do his best.

Ye Xinglan lay on the bed, her pretty face deathly pale, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her brows furrowing from time to time. Her breathing was noticeably weak, a sign of declining blood and energy.

Xu Lizhi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her with concern.

She finally fell ill, or more accurately, it was due to her own physical exhaustion. These past few days, Ye Xinglan had been working tirelessly to forge battle armor parts for Tang Wulin, all so that he could achieve better results in the individual competition and at least not lose the prestige of Shrek Academy.

Sister Xinglan, you're just too strong-willed! Too competitive.

Xu Lizhi raised his chubby hand and gently placed it on Ye Xinglan's forehead, feeling her gradually decreasing body temperature, and then gently stroked her hair twice.

Only now can you find peace. Xinglan, you must get better soon! I was just too cowardly, but no matter what, next time, I will never let you hurt yourself like that again.

Xie Xie was the only one who wasn't resting or cultivating. He was standing on the balcony, his arms resting on the railing for support. His expression was relaxed and casual as he felt the night breeze caressing his body, a faint smile playing on his lips.

What a relaxing and pleasant feeling. This is the feeling a speed-based Soul Master should have. Freedom is the root of agility.

After Yuanen Yehui brought him back that day, he slept soundly all night before waking up. He felt as if he had been reborn, and his whole being was different from before.

He could feel it when Shafulin was controlling his body. He grasped that feeling of sublimation, and in the past few days, he had been changing every moment—his mindset was changing, and his strength was changing.

He finally vaguely understood why he hadn't been able to freely and flexibly control his clones before—it was because he was too tense, not free enough, not relaxed enough. What he needed was enlightenment, not tension and constraint.

He summoned his two martial souls: the Light Dragon Dagger and the Shadow Dragon Dagger. Strange patterns had appeared on the two martial souls.

"The martial spirit seems to have changed a bit; it appears to have become stronger."

Shaking his head, Xie Xie didn't delve into that point. In any case, it was a positive mutation, which was a good thing, as it would make him stronger.

Yuanen, just you wait, I will definitely become stronger than you! One day, I will become the prince in golden armor before you and marry you as my bride.

Yuan Enhui was quietly cultivating in her room. She had always been diligent, and even her exceptional talent had never affected her diligence.

She has always worked very hard because she needs to become strong. Only with sufficient strength can she accomplish that thing, that thing that haunts her dreams.

In the near future, when my cultivation reaches the level I desire, it will be time to return.

Xu Xiaoyan was different from the others. She was sleeping quietly in her room, unlike Tang Wulin and the others, because she had once talked about her ideals with Nan Fusheng.

Her current plan for the future is simple: to cultivate diligently and strive to become a good wife. Cultivation is partly to prevent herself from aging too quickly, as high-level Soul Masters generally have longer lifespans than ordinary people.

She still wanted to be a loving couple with Nan Fusheng for a hundred years, but she wondered what she was dreaming about. Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but curl up, her brows furrowed, and she began to mutter to herself.

"Fors, Fusheng is my husband, don't do anything rash!"

……

Fors's room was empty. In contrast, the atmosphere in Na's room was somewhat romantic, as Fors was currently inside.

"Hmm~, Sister Fors, I feel like we're getting a little too close."

On Na'er's bed, Fors and she were facing each other.

Although both of their bodies were covered by the blankets, the clothes scattered under the bed made it easy to tell what was going on with them.

"Don't worry, Na'er, we're all girls, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

"No, this is too strange." Na'er still had a slight resistance. Fors had gone too far, and even she felt that it was crossing the line.
