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

Chapter 53 Summary (Part 2)

Wu Changkong said, "You need to relax now. You'll gradually get better in a few days. Your situation is rather special. The Human-Faced Demon Spider is an extremely rare and powerful soul beast. It's capable of hunting thousand-year-old soul beasts with only a hundred years of cultivation. Dying at its hands isn't shameful. But remember, the next time you encounter this kind of soul beast, press the rescue signal immediately. This time, it was dangerous for you to be killed directly by it in the Spirit Ascension Platform."

A dance teacher is comforting someone? That's extremely rare!

"Thank you, teacher."

The dance in the sky turns towards the ancient moon.

Gu Yue said, "The Spirit Ascension Platform is a very realistic world. I feel as if I have really entered an ancient forest. I think I like it there, I like it very much. In battle, the soul beasts are very realistic, and everything seems to be no different from the real thing."

"That's all?" Wu Changkong asked, his brows furrowing slightly as he saw Gu Yue sit down again.

Gu Yue nodded.

Wu Changkong said, "Then explain to me how you found Tang Wulin?"

Gu Yue paused for a moment, then said, "Perhaps it was just a coincidence."

"A coincidence?" Wu Changkong narrowed his eyes slightly. "It can be said that Xie Xie and Nan Fusheng's encounter with Tang Wulin was a coincidence, because they were not far apart when they appeared in the Spirit Ascension Platform, and Xie Xie ran to Tang Wulin's vicinity in a chaotic manner."

Nan Fusheng, on the other hand, was initially very close to Tang Wulin. He got close because Xie Xie was being chased by that hundred-year-old two-legged unicorn dragon, which made too much noise.

But you are not. You are not close to Tang Wulin. As soon as you discovered the Millennium Crystal Bear, you immediately set off in the direction Tang Wulin was.

What makes me even less convinced that it's a coincidence is that your escape route adjusts according to Tang Wulin's location. That can't possibly be a coincidence.

"Yes, I have some tricks for controlling elements that I can attach to my companions, which will allow me to find them more clearly."

"I felt safest with Wu Lin, so I chose to go find him first." This was Gu Yue's explanation, which sounded somewhat far-fetched.

"Alright." Wu Changkong didn't ask any further questions, but instead turned to Xie Xie, "It's your turn."

Xie Xie said, "I also really like that place. Hunting soul beasts in the forest is incredibly exhilarating. That environment is especially suitable for us agility-based soul masters. If I could be even faster, my survivability would be even stronger."

The final battle against those blue wolves was especially exhilarating. I tried to avoid vital points so I could fight longer.

I had learned this fighting style before, but I had nowhere to practice it. This time I really experienced it and understood a lot about the importance of avoiding vital points.

At the same time, this battle also made me realize the importance of teammates!

At this point, Xie Xie glanced at Nan Fusheng.

Wu Changkong looked at Tang Wulin, indicating that it was his turn next.

Tang Wulin pondered for a moment and said, "The feeling of the forest is very real. Although I know it is an illusion, once I go deep into it, I will unconsciously take it as real. In particular, the feeling of being injured is also very painful. The realism of fighting with soul beasts is very helpful for improving actual combat skills."

I believe that by training in a place like this, we can become true Soul Masters. I think we need to further strengthen our cooperation in the future.

Only through perfect teamwork can we leverage the collective strength to fight against spirit beasts stronger than ourselves. This time, it was thanks to Fu Sheng's spirit skill, which increased our margin for error, coupled with Gu Yue and Xie Xie's harassment, that we were able to so smoothly defeat that thousand-year crystal bear.

Finally, we arrived at Nan Fusheng.

Nan Fusheng thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with any good words, so he could only say dryly, "This battle made me realize the power of unity. Through the battle in the Spirit Ascension Platform, I believe our cooperation will be even more seamless in the future."

After listening to the six people's speeches, Wu Changkong nodded.

"If I were to grade you all for this Spirit Ascension Challenge, Zhang Yangzi would get zero points. Wang Jinxi would get one point. Gu Yue would get five points. Xie Xie would get five points. Tang Wulin would get four points. Nan Fusheng would get five points."

Zhang Yangzi had a premonition about his low score, as had Wang Jinxi. But when Wu Changkong said that Tang Wulin only got four points and Nan Fusheng only got five points...

Everyone couldn't help but show surprise. If it weren't for Tang Wulin's attack power and Nan Fusheng's strong control ability, the other two would probably have died first!

Nan Fusheng, in particular, was the main force in this battle. Whether it was the hundred-year-old bipedal unicorn dragon or the thousand-year-old crystal bear, Nan Fusheng made great contributions in the battle against both of them.

Even in the final battle where Tang Wulin protected him, Xie Xie would likely have met a grim fate without him.

"Tang Wulin, Nan Fusheng, do you know why your scores are so low?" Wu Changkong stared intently at the two of them.

Tang Wulin lowered his head and began to think. He was also taken aback when he heard the score; he felt that his score shouldn't be so low. However, after listening to Wu Changkong's question and thinking about it carefully, he gradually understood what Teacher Wu meant.

"Gu Yue scored higher than me because she orchestrated that attack. It was her exquisite elemental control that helped us finally defeat the Crystal Bear."

Xie Xie scored high because he risked his life to block the pack of wolves in order to protect me.

Fusheng's high score was due to his overall leadership and command in these battles.

Wu Changkong said, "That's not entirely true. If Gu Yue hadn't caught you with her own body when you landed as a crystal and suffered a severe injury, you would have shattered directly."

Although you won't die in reality, you will inevitably suffer similar pain and face certain dangers as Wang Jinxi. Therefore, if we consider individual scores, Gu Yue is second only to Nan Fusheng.

As for Xie Xie, his score was higher than yours, not because he saved you in the end, but because his familiarity with soul beasts surpassed yours.

Your points were deducted because you were crystallized when you killed the Crystal Bear. If you know anything about Crystal Bears, you'll know that...

Before it dies, it will unleash a burst of crystalline soul power. The more powerful the crystalline bear, the larger the area it will cover during its final burst. But clearly, you didn't know this; this is a lack of knowledge.

After speaking, Wu Changkong looked directly at Nan Fusheng, wanting to see what he would say.

Seeing Wu Changkong's expression, Nan Fusheng could only say helplessly.

"My score was similar to Xie Xie and Gu Yue's because I entered the Spirit Ascension Platform first and didn't think about joining my teammates immediately. This is fatal for a Soul Master who doesn't have strong attack power and self-defense capabilities."

Wu Changkong nodded with satisfaction. "That's right. Given the circumstances at the time, not acting rashly and waiting for our teammates might have been a good choice."

But don't forget, you're in a forest of spirit beasts. We have no idea whether the next thing to find you will be your teammates or a spirit beast. Staying still is almost equivalent to a slow death.

"Your soul skills are decent, but their attack power is insufficient, and your escape methods are clearly inferior to others. If you encounter powerful soul beasts, or pack-type soul beasts like the Blue Wolf, what methods do you have to escape?"

"Yes, Ms. Wu, I know I was wrong," Nan Fusheng echoed.
