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

Chapter 52 Summary (Part 1)

"Ouch, that hurts! It hurts so much!"

In his dormitory, Nan Fusheng opened his eyes and couldn't help but gasp, thinking about how he was making a contribution to global climate change.

"Are top-tier soul beasts really this short-tempered? They attack without saying a word? Well, they are just wild beasts after all. How can we think of them with human logic?"

Nan Fusheng summarized his journey to the Spirit Ascension Platform, taking stock of his own condition when he possessed the Bluebird, and whether there were any shortcomings. In the end, he inevitably thought of the scene of being torn to pieces.

"Being killed is nothing. But we still need to figure out whether this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was simply angry or if it sensed something was wrong with the Bluebird I was possessing."

This is the first time Nan Fusheng has deeply parasitized another creature. He needs to know whether his first soul skill has any flaws, otherwise he will have nowhere to cry if something goes wrong in the future.

Nan Fusheng thought about it for a moment, then put the question out of his mind, deciding to experiment again at the Spirit Ascension Platform later. This trip to the Spirit Ascension Platform also allowed Nan Fusheng to rediscover the platform and his own first soul skill.

First, regarding the Spirit Ascension Platform, Nan Fusheng was certain that the soul beasts inside were not entirely virtual. They might be spirits, or perhaps half-virtual and half-real, but Nan Fusheng was certain that those soul beasts inside at least possessed souls.

Nan Fusheng's first soul skill is a simplified version of his fourth pathway skill: "Parasit".

It can parasitize other organisms, even microorganisms. (Of course, Nanfusheng cannot parasitize microorganisms yet.)

But he can't yet reach the point where he can even parasitize 'inorganic matter'. Perhaps when Nan Fusheng becomes a true god, he can do it, but at least he can't do it now. And if he can parasitize a soul beast on the Ascension Platform, then that soul beast is definitely not an inanimate object.

Then came his first soul skill: Parasite. This was the true soul skill he had kept hidden away.

Leaving aside shallow parasitism, when Nanfusheng engages in deep parasitism, it can be divided into the following states:

The first method involves completely eliminating the consciousness of the host, thereby gaining complete control over the body.

The second type coexists with the consciousness of the host, lurking within the host's soul. Normally, it operates primarily under the host's consciousness, but can seize control of the body at any time.

It can guide or influence the emotions of the host, but there is also a certain risk of being resisted by the host.

However, due to the deep parasitism, his emotions and thoughts are synchronized with those of his host. He can detect any thought of resistance immediately.

The third type is fusion with the soul of the host. In this case, although the other party is also a clone of Nan Fusheng, it is fused with the soul of the host.

Personality will also undergo significant changes. The stronger the host, the more the host's personality will resemble the original personality, and vice versa.

However, its core entity remains Nan Fusheng, and that will not change!

This is how Nan Fusheng felt when he possessed the Bluebird. He could choose from three options: kill, coexist, or merge with the Bluebird, to decide how he wanted to parasitize it.

That night, Nan Fusheng thought a lot.

……

The next day, because he was thinking too much, he couldn't concentrate on his cultivation and left the dormitory early.

It was still early, and the sky outside was just beginning to lighten. After washing up, he walked to the vicinity of the playground, wanting to clear his head.

Upon arrival, they saw Tang Wulin running wildly across the playground, arms outstretched. He looked rather mentally unstable.

Although the evolution of a soul is something to be happy about, seeing Tang Wulin dancing around on the playground, Nan Fusheng silently stopped walking towards the playground.

It wasn't until a pink figure reappeared at the edge of the playground that Tang Wulin slowly returned to normal.

Nan Fusheng ignored Tang Wulin's enthusiastic interaction with his senior, and headed straight to the cafeteria to eat before going to the classroom.

……

"Tell me your feelings about yesterday's Ascension Platform," Wu Changkong said calmly to the six students in the classroom, standing behind the podium.

Zhang Yangzi had dark circles under her eyes today, clearly indicating she hadn't slept well last night. Wang Jinxi was the same. The difference was that Zhang Yangzi's dark circles were due to depression.

Wang Jinxi, on the other hand, was having nightmares. This child was probably the most miserable of all, having directly encountered the human-faced spider and been devoured in an extremely cruel way. He still hasn't recovered.

Xie Xie's complexion was also not good. Although he was not seriously injured in yesterday's bloody battle because of Nan Fusheng, his physical strength was severely depleted.

Moreover, I didn't realize it at the time, but when I went back to rest at night, I kept seeing images of blue wolves rushing towards me in my mind. I couldn't calm down and meditate at all. In the middle of the night, I rolled off the bed and woke up in a fright.

Tang Wulin was the only one with an excited expression. Soul evolution—what could be more exciting than that?

Nan Fusheng and Gu Yue looked relatively normal, with no apparent difference.

"Let's proceed in the order we left the battlefield yesterday, Zhang Yangzi!" Seeing that no one was willing to speak up, Wu Changkong called on him directly.

"Yes!" Zhang Yangzi replied somewhat awkwardly, standing up and saying, "My performance yesterday was absolutely terrible. Teacher Wu, I was wrong."

Wu Changkong waved his hand. "There's no need to admit your mistakes to me. Your life is your own. You still have a chance to admit your mistakes. If you really were in the Soul Beast Forest yesterday, you would be a corpse now, or even nothing at all. Tell me how you feel. To the Ascension Platform, or to yourself."

Zhang Yangzi's facial muscles twitched awkwardly. "The world of the Ascension Platform is too real. I can't feel any illusion at all in it."

So, when I first entered, I was incredibly curious. I climbed the tree because I wanted to see further. Also, my martial spirit has a certain gliding ability, and I felt that from the top of the tree, I could fly in multiple directions and also have a better view of everything around me.

"So, at the beginning, I didn't make any major mistakes. My mistake was underestimating the enemy and being arrogant. I didn't observe the surrounding situation clearly, acted rashly, became the target of everyone's attacks, and was thus eliminated from the battlefield."

"Next time I go to the Ascension Platform, I will be extra careful and do my best to protect myself. I will try to survive longer."

After saying this, he sat down again.

Wu Changkong offered no comment, turning instead to Wang Jinxi, "And you?"

Wang Jinxi smiled bitterly, "Teacher Wu, I don't remember much else now. I only remember that face that fell from above, and then that chilling cold that seemed to freeze my soul. They're like my nightmares, constantly haunting me. I don't know what will happen if I encounter them again."
