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

Chapter 375 Three Years

"Alright, let the fighting begin."

"roar--"

"roar--"

At Nan Fusheng's command, the dragon souls in the dragon tomb roared and began to fight.

This is to allow them to devour each other, thus determining the strongest one. Only the strongest among them is qualified to become Nan Fusheng's soul.

This is the method of raising Chimera Soul Beasts: the method of raising and killing them!

Looking down at the dragon souls that had begun to devour each other, Nan Fusheng nodded. The dragon souls here could be considered, in a sense, alternative forms of spirits. Allowing them to devour each other was also to make their souls more complete.

Because they are all clones, it is not difficult for them to devour or merge with each other.

"Next up is its turn."

Nan Fusheng turned his gaze to the dragon bones of the mountain dragon king, which was a thousand meters tall. This clone did not fight with the dragon souls because Nan Fusheng needed it to conduct experiments.

Two rhomboid crystals suddenly appeared in Nan Fusheng's hand, one presented as gold and the other as silver.

Nan Fusheng examined the Dragon God Core in his hand. The power contained within this thing was undoubtedly enormous; it was just a matter of a trigger to activate it.

A Time Worm appeared, surrounded by seven-colored energy. This was the power of the Dragon God that Nan Fusheng had seized from Gu Yue. Instead of absorbing it, he stored that energy in the Time Worm.

It is not advisable to absorb the power of the dragon god at will. If you are not careful and get a little bit of dragon blood on you, you will be in trouble.

Although with his current non-human body, it seems very difficult for him to acquire dragon blood.

Nan Fusheng placed the Time Worm between the two rhombus-shaped crystals. Seven-colored energy emanated from the Time Worm and enveloped the two crystals, causing them to tremble continuously.

The silver crystal began to emit seven-colored energy, while the golden crystal emitted golden energy.

"It works." Nan Fusheng's eyes lit up. He began to use the power of the door to gradually open invisible doors on the two crystals, thereby expanding their energy output.

At the same time, he also manipulated a trace of the wrong power, distorting and altering the Time Worm that absorbed the Dragon God's power. He intended to use this Time Worm as a link to try and draw upon the Dragon God's power.

The energy emitted by the silver and gold crystals grew increasingly immense, constantly surrounding the Time Worm and being slowly absorbed by it with each inhalation and exhalation.

After an unknown amount of time, the seven-colored light on the Time Worm shone even brighter, and a wisp of nine-colored light suddenly appeared on it.

That wisp of nine-colored light was so faint that Nan Fusheng wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't been staring at it intently.

"It works." Nan Fusheng smiled and gradually increased the output of energy. The nine-colored light on the Time Worm began to grow larger and gradually began to envelop its entire body, dyeing it with nine colors.

"Hmm, this bug smells so sultry!"

Nan Fusheng stopped outputting energy, and the two rhomboid crystals ceased emitting energy, quietly falling to the ground. In mid-air, a nine-colored worm lay there peacefully.

"The experiment was a success; it's not difficult to draw upon the Dragon God's energy."

Nan Fusheng grabbed the nine-colored Time Worm. Is this the result of absorbing the Dragon God's power? A new skin?

Suddenly, the dragon bones of the Mountain Dragon King behind Nan Fusheng began to tremble violently, and an incomparably thirsty spiritual will emanated from it; it wanted that Time Worm.

Nan Fusheng waved his hand at it, "Wait, this guy's condition is still unstable. Let me do a few more experiments so that other Time Worms can also absorb the power of the Dragon God before I let you fuse with it."

Although the power of the Dragon God was successfully synthesized, who knows if this was an accident? At least we should keep a few samples before making any decisions.

Nan Fusheng picked up the two crystals that had fallen to the ground. The light emanating from them was still dazzling, without fading in the slightest.

"The power of this Dragon God's core is truly immense. I sensed it as soon as I activated it. The amount of energy I drew was not even a drop in the ocean."

Nan Fusheng examined the two crystals in his hand, then looked at the dragon souls fighting fiercely in the distance.

Visibly, whenever one dragon soul completely devours another, the bones of the defeated dragon soul begin to crack, and then, as if weathered, turn into wisps of dust.

"It's more convenient for me to do it this way. What's the point of being buried in the ground? It's more convenient to just return to heaven and earth like this."

These dragon bones have been in this dragon tomb for countless years, yet they have not weathered. One can only imagine how hard their remains are.

Even if we bury them in the ground, they probably won't decompose even after ten thousand years. Is that good for them?

That's terrible. Life was already miserable enough, but to be buried in the dark earth after death and endure the loneliness of darkness—what kind of torture is that?

But it's different for someone like him. He directly drains the energy, turning it into bones and dissipating into the world.

Born of heaven and earth, we should return to heaven and earth after death.

In that instant, Nan Fusheng felt he had understood; he had grasped the truth of the universe, the law of conservation of energy hidden within the cycle of heaven and earth.

"I was right after all."

Looking at the dragon souls fighting each other, Nan Fusheng said this.

"However, this will probably take a long time."

Looking at the Nine-Colored Time Insect in his hand, Nan Fusheng said with some distress.

Not only might the Mountain Dragon King's dragon bones need this Dragon God energy, but the dragon souls below could also absorb some. Combined with the power of the "mistake," it's estimated that they could also evolve.

"Well then, let's stop here for today. After I guide out the Dragon God's energy for you to absorb, we can continue our battle."

Nan Fusheng reached out and stopped the dragon souls from fighting. He suggested that they wait until they evolved before continuing their battle, as this might better stimulate their bloodline.

During battle, energy absorption becomes much easier; this is a lesson Nan Fusheng learned from raising many Chimera Soul Beasts.

Upon hearing Nan Fusheng's words, the dragon souls wisely ceased their fighting. Looking around, the dragon tomb, which originally contained over a thousand dragon bones, now only had a little over five hundred remaining.

"Getting all the dragon souls to absorb energy seems like a huge undertaking!"

Nan Fusheng's daily life became much simpler after that. He would occasionally show his face at Shrek Academy to make his presence known. If that didn't work, he would have Fusheng No. 1 take his place.

After that, they came to this Dragon Valley small world to synthesize Dragon God energy, allowing the dragon souls to absorb and evolve so that they could fight better.

……

Six months later.

Six months after Nan Fusheng and the others returned to Douluo Continent, Tang Wulin's physical condition finally improved. The power within him gradually returned to normal. Although he was still lying in bed, he was at least out of danger.

That year, they were all sixteen years old. Gu Yue and the others, who were originally studying in Class 1 of the first grade, should have been promoted to Class 1 of the second grade.

However, things rarely turn out that simply.

This year's first-year students, hailed as the most outstanding in a century, had their core members—Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi, and Xie Xie—all granted special permission to enter the inner academy after advancing to the second year.

Along with them, Yuan Enyehui and Le Zhengyu, who were promoted to class monitor of Class 1, Grade 3, were also admitted to the Inner Academy at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Shrek Academy announced that these six people would become the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils. The captain was Tang Wulin, who was still recuperating in the inner courtyard. This was Gu Yue's special request, and no one else objected.

At the same time, they can accept challenges from all Soul Master teams below the sixth ring for a period of one year. If no team below the sixth ring can defeat them within the first year, then the name of the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils will be confirmed.

According to Shrek Academy's rules, once the Shrek Seven Devils are confirmed, they will retain that title until they relinquish it, become members of the Sea God Pavilion, or die.

Therefore, Shrek Academy is very cautious in selecting the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils. The decision is only made when an exceptionally talented genius emerges, or when they make a significant contribution to the academy.

The academy didn't elaborate on the contributions of this generation of Shrek Seven Devils. It only stated that during their journey to the Star Luo Empire representing Shrek Academy, they upheld the academy's honor and made indelible contributions.

Of course, some people were unconvinced, such as the disciples who had already entered the inner court. In the following year, they experienced countless challenges. However, under Gu Yue's leadership, their team, although consisting of only six people, was able to overcome powerful enemies every time.

Nan Fusheng knew the inside story perfectly well; it was all the work of that old woman, Cai Yue'er.

Before the Shrek Seven Devils were announced, Shen Yi had approached Fors and asked if they were interested in competing for a spot on the Shrek Seven Devils.

Fors had no interest in the Shrek Seven Devils' spots, so he explicitly rejected Shen Yi.

A year later, Nan Fusheng turned seventeen, and the spots for the Shrek Seven Devils were officially confirmed.

Meanwhile, during this year, Tang Wulin's health began to improve. He was at least able to take care of himself and could get out of bed and walk without any problem. He was gradually getting used to his body.

A little over a year later, Nan Fusheng turned eighteen. During that year, Tang Wulin's health completely improved, and his soul power reached level fifty. However, for some reason, he did not choose to acquire a soul ring.

Shrek Academy, Inner Courtyard.

In Tang Wulin's dormitory, after he was able to move freely, Zhuoshi kicked him out of Seagod Island and sent him to participate in the inner court's assessment to become an inner court disciple.

Poseidon Island is where the elders of the Poseidon Pavilion live, and only a select few of their personal disciples are allowed to go there. The other inner court disciples live and study outside of Poseidon Island.

Of course, Tang Wulin is Feng Wuyu's disciple and Zhuoshi's grand-disciple. With this relationship, it wouldn't be difficult for him to cultivate on Seagod Island.

However, since he was still the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils, Zhuoshi still kicked him out so that he could live with his companions and develop a tacit understanding.

Tang Wulin looked at Nan Fusheng sitting opposite him and said jokingly, "It seems that Wu Siduo and the others are going to become inner court students as well. Once they come in, the inner court will probably be much more lively. After all, Wu Siduo's resentment towards Fors seems to run quite deep."

Even though our team defeated her before, it never made her think about it this much. Once she enters the inner courtyard, your team's days are probably going to be tough."

Nan Fusheng calmly sipped his tea. "Really? Do you think Fors's team can beat them with their current strength?"

Tang Wulin was speechless for a moment. Indeed, even though they were known as the Shrek Seven Devils, they were not confident in facing Fors!

Unlike them, Fors caused quite a stir as soon as she entered the inner courtyard because of her outstanding appearance.

However, those who can become inner disciples are at least qualified in terms of character, so when Fors closed her doors to visitors, not many people would bother her.

However, everything changed after a competition a year ago.

At the time, Fors was seventeen years old, but she went directly to the strongest disciple in the inner court, the senior disciple Lan Muzi, and invited him to spar.

Lan Muzi didn't refuse his junior's challenge. He was naturally mild-mannered, and generally, he would help inner court disciples with any requests that weren't too unreasonable. Besides, Shrek Academy valued internal competition.

I remember that battle attracted many inner court disciples to watch. After all, one was a beautiful junior sister, and the other was the senior brother of the inner court, which really raised everyone's expectations.

And so, right before everyone's eyes, four black and two red spirit rings, a sight that would blow anyone's mind, appeared before them.

A six-ring Soul Emperor! And a seventeen-year-old six-ring Soul Emperor at that, who also possesses two 100,000-year Soul Rings.

No one knows when Fors raised the age of her spirit ring to 100,000 years; all that is known is that after she revealed her spirit ring, Lan Muzi also began to take it seriously.

Then came a series of elemental storms. Even though Lan Muzi was an eight-ring Soul Douluo and a three-word Battle Armor Master, no matter what he did, he was ultimately defeated by the endless elemental storms.

Thus, the title of the strongest in the inner court fell to Fors.

A seventeen-year-old girl, a six-ring Soul Emperor, and also a two-word Battle Armor Master, became the strongest in the Inner Academy.

On the very day she defeated Lan Muzi, in order to prevent other inner court disciples from harassing her, Fors publicly announced: "I already have a boyfriend, so please don't bother me, or I'll beat you all up."

Because of Fors's words, Nan Fusheng also became a minor celebrity.
