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

Chapter 376 Fors: Na'er, I'm hungry

"Do you know what the people in the inner courtyard call you behind your back?"

Tang Wulin said with a mocking expression, "Gold digger."

Nan Fusheng remained calm, even letting out a soft chuckle: "Jealousy has turned them beyond recognition."

"Those guys say I'm a kept man, but it's just sour grapes. Being a kept man requires ability; do they have that?"

Hearing Nan Fusheng's slightly smug words, Tang Wulin was speechless for a moment, never expecting his partner to be so carefree.

However, Tang Wulin quickly changed the subject and asked curiously, "Are you really going to work in Tianhai City after graduation?"

Tang Wulin felt he was increasingly unable to understand his childhood friend, Nan Fusheng. Unlike others, Nan Fusheng became increasingly low-key after entering Shrek Academy's inner court, practically becoming a nobody.

However, Tang Wulin knew very well that his childhood friend's strength was definitely not weaker than others. At least when they were in the outer academy, even Wu Siduo had been captured by Nan Fusheng in a head-on battle.

In terms of combat ability, Nan Fusheng's strength is by no means inferior to others. However, he has always been like a nobody, just quietly watching from the side, as if he were observing others.

"Hmm." Nan Fusheng nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, I should be going to Tianhai City to take up my post after graduating from the Inner Academy. Once I'm familiar with the local government affairs, I'll gradually start taking over the position of Tianhai City's administrator."

A year ago, Nan Fusheng had carried out a mission for an inner court disciple.

The mission involved investigating a case involving evil spirit masters in Tianhai City. During that mission, Nan Fusheng discovered traces of more than one evil spirit master, who seemed to be plotting something.

It was eventually discovered that they were plotting a terrorist attack, and the target was the administrator of Tianhai City.

As a righteous Shrek Academy student, how could Nan Fusheng allow such a thing to happen? Moreover, the situation was extremely urgent, and it was too late to ask the academy for support.

Therefore, Nan Fusheng chose to go alone to stop this terrible disaster.

Unfortunately, there were quite a few evil soul masters who planned this incident, and the leader was a Soul Douluo with an eighth-ring cultivation level. There were also two Soul Saints and more than a dozen Soul Kings among the evil soul masters.

Together they launched an attack on the administrative government of Tianhai City, and at the same time dropped fixed-position soul-guided shells in various parts of Tianhai City to attract the attention of the garrison.

Although Nan Fusheng eventually rescued the administrator, he failed to rescue his family.

The administrator was already quite old, and this blow left him utterly exhausted; overnight, all his hair turned completely white. Nan Fusheng couldn't bear to see him like that, so he specifically requested the academy to postpone the mission so he could take care of the administrator.

During the month-long period of care, the administrator was also moved by Nan Fusheng's actions. Since he also had no children of his own, he wanted to make Nan Fusheng his adopted son.

Nan Fusheng couldn't bear to see the old man sad, so he readily accepted him as his godfather.

The administrator of Tianhai City was overjoyed, never expecting to have a new family member. So, in the following year, he would invite Nan Fusheng to Tianhai City from time to time, as if he intended to groom him as his successor.

An administrative official's position is quite prestigious, involving countless vested interests, not to mention that Tianhai City is the number one city in the east. Logically speaking, it shouldn't have been arranged so hastily.

However, the administrator of Tianhai City already possessed extensive connections. After visiting the prominent families of Tianhai City, something must have happened. From then on, those families seemed to tacitly accept his position and even actively paved the way for Nan Fusheng's future.

This whole thing was so surreal, it was almost magical, but it really happened. Even Xu Xiaoyan was incredulous when she first heard about it.

She had already prepared herself to work hard with Nan Fusheng after graduation, but things were almost over before she even graduated.

It's important to know that Tianhai City has significant strategic importance. If the Federation were to go to war with the Star Luo Continent in the future, Tianhai City's port would definitely be a crucial shipping route for expeditions.

Of course, all of the above was just a performance by Nan Fusheng.

He had already infiltrated Tianhai City like a sieve. From the highest-ranking officials, the tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, the president of the Blacksmith Association, and the heads of various powerful families, down to the captain of the garrison, he had transformed them all into his clones.

After all, Tianhai City was where he achieved Sequence Four and where he began his development.

Therefore, Nan Fusheng had long ago planned to make that place his base, and he was already putting it into practice.

Now, it's just that he's using the matter of the evil spirit master to make his becoming an administrator more legitimate.

Nan Fusheng looked at Tang Wulin and said, "After a while, the Inner Academy will hold the Sea God Lake Blind Date Event, which is held every five years. What's the relationship between you and Gu Yue?"

The Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event is a grand gathering that only inner court disciples of Shrek Academy can participate in. Inner court disciples must be over eighteen years old and of legal age.

This tradition dates back ten thousand years. The students of Shrek Academy are so exceptional that finding a worthy partner in the outside world is truly difficult. Therefore, many choose to participate in the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event to find their partners.

The most famous example is the story of Huo Yuhao, the Ice Spirit Douluo, and Tang Wutong, the Dragon Butterfly Douluo. Their relationship was hailed as a legendary tale.

Therefore, whenever the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event is held, it is also the most lively time in Shrek Academy's inner courtyard.

Students from the outer academy who are 18 years of age or older can come to witness the ceremony. This is meant to motivate them. If they want to win the heart of a beauty in the academy, they must work hard to cultivate and strive to reach the level of a One-Word Battle Armor Master as soon as possible, so that they will have the opportunity to participate in the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event.

Upon hearing Nan Fusheng's words, Tang Wulin's expression became complicated. He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what's going on. In the past few years, she has been intentionally distancing herself from me."

After I returned to the team, she handed it over to me and then completely abandoned it. Nominally, she was still a member of the Shrek Seven Devils, but only nominally.

Tang Wulin's feelings for Gu Yue are complex.

During the time he was injured, Gu Yue never visited him. If Xie Xie hadn't said that Gu Yue had actually asked other people about his condition every time, he would have almost thought that Gu Yue didn't care about his life or death at all.

Gu Yue's emotions were like the weather, fluctuating between hot and cold towards him. After they returned to Douluo Continent, she continued to distance herself from others.

In Tang Wulin's view, this Poseidon Lake matchmaking event is an opportunity. Gu Yue, let me find out what you're really thinking at this Poseidon Lake matchmaking event.

At this moment, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Nan Fusheng said to Tang Wulin, "I heard that Na'er will also be participating in this conference."

"What!" Tang Wulin exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Nan Fusheng with a serious expression. "Fusheng, are you telling the truth?"

This time, it was Nan Fusheng who looked at him with some surprise. "No, you don't know about Na'er's matter? It's caused quite a stir on the academy's Soul Network. Even the inner court disciples who were on missions far away rushed back after hearing the news."

"I don't know." Tang Wulin shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I've been busy practicing combat skills lately, so I haven't been paying attention to the academy's soul network."

Tang Wulin was completely unaware of Na'er's situation. Although Na'er had visited him in recent years, she never stayed long. After he recovered, she rarely came to see him anymore.

However, Tang Wulin didn't care too much about it. After all, Na'er was already sixteen years old, a grown woman, and it was normal for her to avoid him, not to mention that Na'er was so beautiful.

Of course, that's true. But Tang Wulin still occasionally felt a little lonely.

Upon hearing that Na'er was going to participate in a matchmaking event, Tang Wulin felt a pang of discomfort, then said with a serious expression, "No, Na'er is too young. At least until she turns eighteen, I don't want her to be involved in these things."

"Oh my, I didn't expect you to be such an old-fashioned person, Wu Lin."

Tang Wulin said seriously, "As her older brother, I have to think about Na'er's future happiness. If she really takes a fancy to someone, she has to get past me first. My sister is so beautiful, I can't let her go to someone else so easily."

"Alright." Nan Fusheng nodded. "No need to be so serious, let's change to a lighter topic."

"A lighthearted topic?"

"That's right. For example, your cultivation level should be around level 50 by now, so why haven't you broken through and obtained your fifth spirit ring yet?"

Although the Golden Dragon King's seal caused Tang Wulin immense pain and kept him bedridden for a long time, he also absorbed the Golden Dragon King's energy, causing his soul power to reach level fifty much earlier than expected.

However, due to his previous poor health and the violent energy within him, Tang Wulin did not immediately acquire his fifth spirit ring after recovering. Instead, he chose to refine himself. Now, he should be able to acquire his fifth spirit ring.

Upon hearing about cultivation, Tang Wulin's face immediately fell. "My master said that although my body has completely absorbed the violent bloodline power within me, the several levels of soul power I have gained were also forcibly increased by that bloodline power."

Therefore, he hoped I could calm down and consolidate my strength to avoid any instability in my soul power. Anyway, according to the theory of that master in history, the soul power a soul master cultivates before obtaining a soul ring and advancing in rank won't disappear; it will simply be stored away. Once I obtain a soul ring, it will unleash its full potential.

This statement is completely fallacious, because the cultivation speed of a Soul Master varies drastically at different stages. Can a Soul Grandmaster and a Soul King cultivate at the same speed?

Of course, there is another reason why Tang Wulin chose not to acquire his spirit ring so quickly: Old Tang also warned him that he hoped he could acquire his fifth spirit ring later, because there might be an opportunity at that time.

Tang Wulin believed Old Tang's words without question, but when would he finally obtain his fifth spirit ring? He had been stuck at level 50 for a long time.

Nan Fusheng nodded thoughtfully, "Since he is the grandmaster, you should just obey him. Anyway, he shouldn't harm you."

Tang Wulin said helplessly, "Anyway, I'm only a level 50 Soul Master right now. But Fusheng, you said you want to graduate from the Inner Academy, so your cultivation level should be close to level 60, right?"

Nan Fusheng smiled. His soul power had already reached level sixty, but he hadn't broken through yet because he didn't have a soul spirit he liked. "This one? You guess."

"Guess whether I'll guess or not."

……

Poseidon Island, a small wooden house built halfway up a mountain.

The cabin wasn't large, with an inner and outer room, but it was very clean and tidy.

Although it's just a simple little wooden cabin, the fact that it could be built on Poseidon Island speaks volumes about its extraordinary nature. Not to mention, the owner of this cabin is no ordinary person either.

She is the direct disciple of the Sea God Pavilion Master, and is even hailed as the Goddess of Sea God Island within the inner courtyard!

Nar, the Dragonlance Goddess!

The nickname "Dragon Spear Goddess" already existed for Na'er before she went to the Star Luo Continent, but what truly made her famous was her victory over all the other contenders in an inner court competition a year ago.

She earned this title after defeating all her opponents with her unparalleled Silver Dragon Spear skills, and in one fell swoop, she defeated all the two-word battle armor masters in the inner academy. She was also hailed as the second best disciple under the age of twenty in the inner academy.

Because Fors is ahead of him, he can only be the second person.

Unlike Fors, Na'er is still single, which is why she is very popular in the inner courtyard!

"Hmm, ho ho~"

At this moment, in this room belonging to the Dragonlance Goddess, the sound of heavy breathing could be heard from time to time.

If there were any inner court disciples here at this moment, they would recognize that the heavy breathing inside was none other than the voice of the Dragon Spear Goddess they had been longing for.

The cabin contains tables, chairs, benches, a wardrobe, and a hammock.

At this moment, women's clothing was scattered all over the floor of the wooden house, and faint breathing could be heard from the hammock.

"Ouch~, Sister Fors, be gentle, don't bite so hard."

"Hmm~, no, I haven't been feeling well in my stomach lately, and I want to eat more liquid food, so I can only come to you, Na'er."

Meanwhile, in the inner courtyard, the Dragonlance Goddess Na'er lay on the hammock with a flushed face, looking at Fors, who looked like a baby in her arms, and couldn't help but let out a groan.

"But if you keep biting like that, you won't be able to suck anything out, and I don't have any liquid food here."

"No." Fors stopped what she was doing and looked at Na'er seriously. "Even if there's no food, it's okay if we're mentally nourished." With that, Fors lowered her head and continued her work of eating.
