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

Chapter 392 Applying for Graduation

early morning.

Sunlight streamed into the Spirit Pagoda room, illuminating the two figures lying on the bed.

Nan Fusheng opened his eyes and looked at Xu Xiaoyan, who was already fast asleep, with pity. After all, she was just a control-type soul master, and it was her first time, so it was understandable that she was a little weak.

Not to mention, last night, due to some special buffs, Nan Fusheng's output increased significantly, so it's only natural that Xu Xiaoyan couldn't handle it.

"Next, it's time to return to Tianhai City. That's my main base. I'll leave the Spirit Pagoda headquarters here to Qian Gu Qingfeng for now. The infiltration efforts in the Federation can't be slowed down either!"

After what happened last night, Nan Fusheng suddenly felt that he had grown a lot, and now he was a married man.

……

At the same moment, at Shrek Academy, on the shore of Poseidon Lake, mist filled the air and the blue waves rippled.

Na'er woke up in the morning and, after tiptoeing away from Fors, had been standing here for a long time. Her shoulders were already soaked with dew, but she showed no intention of brushing it off.

Her silver hair swayed in the morning breeze as she gazed at the distant morning mist, like an elf.

Her large, silver eyes were reflected in the lake, and a faint smile always played on her lips. It was impossible to say she had no regrets, but ultimately, she was still one with Gu Yue.

Na'er's fate was already decided the moment they separated. But it doesn't matter, at least she made her feelings clear before leaving. It's just that Sister Fors was a bit too rough last night, leaving her with a strange feeling in her chest.

But it doesn't matter, she'll be going back soon anyway, so this little bit of disruption is nothing.

Gu Yue arrived quietly and stood beside her. Her black hair was flowing, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red, as if she had just been crying.

But when Na'er saw her, the smile on her face vanished.

They stood side by side, gazing at the clear lake water before them.

Na'er suddenly turned to look at Gu Yue, scrutinizing her as if confirming something. "Did you still give that thing to him?"

A hint of nervousness crept onto Gu Yue's face. Even though she was the original body, she felt inexplicably tense facing Na'er's clone. Feigning composure, she asked, "What are you talking about?"

Na'er chuckled softly, "Our scales, the silver dragon's Achilles' heel! You still gave them to Tang Wulin after all!"

Hearing Na'er address Tang Wulin by his full name, Gu Yue felt a pang of estrangement. "Na'er, you..."

"Have I changed?" Na'er interrupted Gu Yue's conversation, then ignored her surprised expression and said to herself, "People always change, that was part of our bet, wasn't it? But it's not him who has changed, it's me."

Gu Yue fell silent.

As if completely at ease, Na'er said softly and relaxedly, "Gu Yue, you win."

"You seem to really want me to win." Gu Yue frowned.

"Because I knew very well that I could never beat you from the start."

Na'er sighed softly, "Back then, when we made the bet, I resolutely chose to bet with you because I knew that you just wanted to find a pretext to kill Tang Wulin, but you didn't want your conscience to be exposed."

I can't refuse you, because if I don't, even if you have a mental weakness, you'll kill him without hesitation.

"Do you regret it now?" Na'er asked.

Gu Yue was somewhat dazed. "Do I regret it? I don't know." She really didn't know if she regretted it.

Nar said, "If you didn't want all this to happen, you shouldn't have devised the method of integrating into the human world in the first place. The facts show that you were right; only by understanding humanity better can you truly find a way to destroy them."

"However, we have all discovered that humans are not without merits. At the very least, humans possess a wealth of emotions that we have never had. That is why I came into being. In your childhood, in order to truly become human, you had to seal yourself away."

In this way, they could truly integrate into human society. And their human souls would then emerge. Although the insect later proved that our initial encounter was entirely a scheme, the feelings that had already formed could not be so easily erased.

"When you realize that human emotions have become somewhat uncontrollable, it becomes impossible to forcibly remove me. Because doing so would greatly harm you."

"With no other choice, you separated me from your body, making me an independent individual. But no matter what, I am still a part of you; we are ultimately one. So you made a bet with me, betting whether Tang Wulin would fall in love with you and whether he would abandon me because of you."

"If you win, it proves that human emotions are all fake, and I will naturally merge back into you. If you lose, you said back then that if you lose, I should remain an individual forever. Right?"

"Unfortunately, I possess your intelligence and human emotions, and within a few years I realized that it was simply impossible. I have taken over thirty percent of your power. If I were to eventually become independent, then you would no longer be you."

Therefore, you can't possibly abandon me. The only difference is whether we'll merge flawlessly or with imperfections. So, if you lose, you'll definitely kill Tang Wulin and forcibly merge with me. Am I right?

Gu Yue looked at Na'er and listened to her eloquent speech, her pretty face turning slightly pale.

"Gu Yue, do you know? The reason I was willing to make that bet with you was because you simply don't understand human emotions. Although in the end I lost, you didn't get the result you wanted either, did you?"

Gu Yue looked at her intently. "Do you really think I didn't know about your plans?"

Na'er laughed, "Of course you know, as smart as you are, how could you not see it? Unfortunately, human emotions are too complicated. Whether it's you or me, we both thought that things would develop in the direction we expected, but the result was completely the opposite."

"I thought you would fall in love with Tang Wulin and give up the idea of ​​killing him. In fact, I have succeeded. However, in the process, I discovered my true feelings and gave up my feelings for him."

Gu Yue's face was full of dejection. "My biggest mistake was the bet I made with you, or rather, I shouldn't have separated you at all. At least that way, I could have subtly influenced you back."

"You lost, and I lost too. You're right, I can't bring myself to do it, I can't kill him. Maybe from the very beginning, my choice was wrong. I regret giving the order to integrate into the human world."

However, my mission compels me to do it, yet I don't want to hurt those I don't want to hurt. So, I don't know how to resolve this conflict, but I must keep moving forward. Come back, Na'er. From today onward, our names are finally complete.

Sparkling light flashed, and Gu Yue's body suddenly became translucent, a silvery-white translucency. An invisible barrier rose from the six-pointed star beneath her feet, enveloping them within it.

If anyone were nearby, they would have noticed that there was not a single trace of energy fluctuation emanating from that silvery-white world.

Na'er's body also became translucent, a silvery-white translucency, and she walked step by step toward Gu Yue.

"Yes, from today onwards, both Gu Yue and Na'er will disappear. We will eventually become one, Gu Yue Na!"

When the moment came, Na'er suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have that many things she was reluctant to part with. At least she had done everything she wanted to do. She just didn't know what Brother Fusheng and Sister Fors would think.

Gu Yue sighed, "When you return, you will be me, and I will be you. I will let go of everything. Since the flaws have already become cracks, let's accept these cracks together. Perhaps, everything will be different."

Silver-white figures overlapped, Na'er and Gu Yue each opening their arms. The two figures began to slowly merge; Gu Yue's black hair disappeared, and her black eyes turned purple. Na'er's childishness vanished; she was slowly growing up.

Within Na'er's spiritual sea, a milky-white spiritual force that had already merged with her gradually seeped in as the two merged.

From the outside, the milky white spiritual energy looked like an insect, but the spiritual energy emanating from it was undoubtedly Na'er's fluctuation.

At this moment, Gu Yue and Na'er have become exactly the same, transforming into the Dragon Spear Goddess who has grown three years older.

"Oh, Na'er, you!"

The goddess suddenly exclaimed and instinctively covered her chest with her hand, because she received some memories that belonged only to Na'er, as well as memories of last night.

"No wonder you merged with me so readily; it turns out you even did something like this."

The slender, silver-haired woman couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment and annoyance on her face. Suddenly, a flash of silver light appeared, and she disappeared into the silent shores of Poseidon Lake.

……

Shrek Academy's Inner Court Academic Affairs Office.

"You said you want to apply for graduation assessment?" An inner court teacher looked at the three people in front of him with some surprise.

"Yes, please approve it, teacher." Nan Fusheng nodded calmly.

The graduation requirements for Shrek Academy's inner court are not complicated. Generally speaking, one only needs to become a two-word battle armor master to apply for graduation, but few students choose to do so.

After all, the cultivation environment in the inner academy is the best on the continent. Those students who enter the inner academy wish they could stay there every day. Even if they meet the graduation standards, many people still hold back and do not choose to graduate.

Because they are students of the top academy on the continent, they have long regarded Shrek Academy as their home. Therefore, many inner court students eventually choose to join Shrek Academy's city guard or become teachers in the outer court.

Incidentally, Shrek Academy's outer court requires teachers to be at least a two-word Battle Armor Master. The inner court, however, requires teachers to be either a Soul Douluo or a three-word Battle Armor Master.

Nan Fusheng is not yet a Soul Emperor, and even Xu Xiaoyan is only a Soul King, but their battle armor is genuine two-word battle armor. This is the characteristic of "Fusheng" brand metal, which will actively conform to the user.

That's why they were able to possess two-word battle armor despite only having the cultivation of a Soul King. This is somewhat like exploiting a bug. After all, the graduation requirement for the Inner Academy is a two-word battle armor master, and there's no strict requirement that one must be a Soul Emperor!

To put it simply, no Soul King would actually forge a two-word battle armor. They generally only consider it after reaching the peak of their Soul King cultivation.

"Okay, I'll process it for you now. If you're not in a hurry, it can be resolved within a few days." The inner court teacher nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

After completing the graduation procedures, Nan Fusheng helped Xu Xiaoyan, who was still having some difficulty walking, to a pavilion where they sat down to rest.

"Time really flies! In the blink of an eye, we've gone from Donghai Academy to Shrek Academy, and then to the Inner Academy. Now we've even met the graduation requirements."

Xu Xiaoyan rested her head on Nan Fusheng's shoulder, her gaze somewhat unfocused.

Yes, I never thought that I, an ordinary girl with a slightly special martial soul, could join Shrek Academy so easily, and now I'm almost graduating.

"And all of this was thanks to you." Looking at Nan Fusheng's profile, Xu Xiaoyan's gaze softened considerably. If it weren't for him, her martial soul probably wouldn't have been able to evolve and achieve this transformation in her talent.

Although he had some talent, he was not outstanding in Shrek Academy. At least compared to others, he was still far behind.

But it was precisely because of Nan Fusheng's existence that he was able to gain a firm foothold in Shrek Academy, a place teeming with geniuses.

"What's wrong?" Nan Fusheng turned his head and looked at Xu Xiaoyan with a smile.

Xu Xiaoyan didn't say much, but responded to her thoughts with actions.

"Hmm~"

Fors, standing to the side, watched the two of them pressed together and started playing with her hair with her fingers, looking rather bored. These two were really something else; there was another person here.

"I wonder how Na'er is doing? She should have merged with Gu Yue by now." Fors sighed softly. How could Na'er's actions this morning have escaped her notice?

Although she was somewhat reluctant, she would ultimately prioritize the greater good.

"Ring ring ring!"

Just as Nan Fusheng and Xu Xiaoyan were deeply in love, his soul communication device suddenly rang.

"Chirp~" Xu Xiaoyan blushed and separated from Nan Fusheng. "You answer the phone first."

"Um."

Nan Fusheng had no choice but to part ways with Xu Xiaoyan with great reluctance.

Nan Fusheng glanced at the contact number; it was Tang Wulin!

Chapter 391 was banned for a day, and the author is also desperate!
