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

Chapter 536 Fors: I object

Although there are no stories of talent scouts and exceptional individuals in the Douluo Continent, Xu Lizhi sees Nan Fusheng as his talent scout at this moment.

He recognized me at a glance—my thoroughbred horse? Or my thoroughbred pig?

Basically, he discovered his own potential and then enthusiastically recommended himself to others. He finally found a place to use his soul power; what else could he be but a talent scout?

It can only be said that Xu Lizhi still had some inferiority complex. In his opinion, he was probably the one whose rank was rising the slowest among all his comrades, not to mention that they enlisted more than a month later, which slowed down their progress even more.

But now that he has Nan Fusheng as his mentor, he can join the team with at least the rank of lieutenant, and he has a chance to catch up with his comrades. How could he not be excited?

Of course, while excited, Xu Lizhi did not forget Ye Xinglan's existence and hurriedly asked, "By the way, Fusheng, what about Sister Xinglan? She is much more outstanding than me, she should be able to get a higher military rank than me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinglan also turned her gaze to Nan Fusheng, wanting to see what he had to say.

"Um, this..." Nan Fusheng said with some difficulty, "The military regulations of the East Sea Army are somewhat special. Li Zhi, you are special because of your special circumstances, while Xing Lan, as a battle spirit master, may not be able to receive preferential treatment."

This means that Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi's situations are completely different, and it is very difficult for them to obtain a high military rank from the beginning.

However, Nan Fusheng immediately added, "But it's not entirely impossible. The military values ​​strength the most, and the East Sea Naval Legion emphasizes individual combat prowess, with various competitions constantly emerging within the legion. As long as you can excel in these competitions, it's not difficult to advance your rank."

"Xinglan is already a Soul Saint, and even in the army, he is an absolute backbone. I will talk to Commander Aquia and give you a high starting point as much as possible."

"No need." Ye Xinglan's voice was as cold as ice, interrupting Nan Fusheng abruptly. "I don't need your help. I will enter the army on my own merits. You don't need to worry about it."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Nan Fusheng's face. His gaze met Ye Xinglan's cold eyes, and for a moment he was at a loss for what to do.

Ye Xinglan didn't know why she had impulsively said those words.

However, when she heard Nan Fusheng offer to help her, the embarrassing scene from the previous night involuntarily flashed through her mind, and a strange sense of shame and indignation welled up in her heart, prompting her to refuse Nan Fusheng's kindness without thinking.

In her view, was Nan Fusheng's behavior an attempt to compensate her for what happened last night? But how could Ye Xinglan accept such pity and sympathy?

The atmosphere at the dinner table became somewhat awkward after Ye Xinglan's words.

Xu Lizhi noticed Ye Xinglan's bad mood and was secretly uneasy. He didn't dare to utter a sound, for fear of provoking her anger.

Xu Xiaoyan keenly sensed Ye Xinglan's emotional fluctuations and quietly gave Nan Fusheng an inquiring look, trying to find out the reason for the matter from him.

Nan Fusheng returned a helpless look, as if to express his innocence and helplessness.

Ye Xinglan caught a glimpse of the exchange between Nan Fusheng and Xu Xiaoyan, and her anger inexplicably burned even brighter. She glanced coldly at Nan Fusheng, then said to Xu Lizhi, "Lizhi, we'll be reporting to the East Sea Fleet in a bit."

"Huh? We're going today?" Xu Lizhi stared at Ye Xinglan with wide eyes in surprise.

"Otherwise what? We don't have any extra time to waste." Ye Xinglan's eyes grew colder. Seeing this, Xu Lizhi couldn't help but shiver and quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, Sister Xinglan, you're absolutely right. Let's set off right away."

After finishing their meal, Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi immediately prepared to set off.

Before leaving, Nan Fusheng quietly slipped a letter into Xu Lizhi's hand and whispered, "After you arrive at the East Sea Fleet, you will face a routine combat patrol for new recruits. After the training is over, give this letter to the instructors there; it might reduce some obstacles for your future operations."

Just as Xu Lizhi was about to ask a question, Nan Fusheng put his finger to his lips and made a "shush" gesture.

Xu Lizhi understood immediately and discreetly pocketed the envelope.

Ye Xinglan seemed oblivious to their subtle actions and continued walking ahead on her own.

Nan Fusheng feigned composure and walked to Ye Xinglan's side, saying somewhat awkwardly, "Xinglan, you... please take care of yourself."

Ye Xinglan merely glanced at him indifferently before turning and leaving without uttering a single word.

Outside the Consul's residence.

Nan Fusheng waved goodbye to the two who were walking away, saying, "Go on. It's quite a distance from here to the East Sea Fleet, but it shouldn't be a problem for you. Remember, don't travel by car, lest you give people a bad impression of being spoiled, which will not be good for your future development in the army."

Xu Lizhi waved in response and shouted, "Don't worry, Fusheng, we understand!"

Ye Xinglan straightened her back and strode forward, leaving Nan Fusheng with a resolute back view.

After Nan Fusheng returned to the governor's residence, the reluctant expression on his face vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.

As for feeling sorry for Ye Xinglan? What is that? He doesn't feel that way at all.

It was just a one-night stand; he wasn't yet capable of developing feelings for Ye Xinglan. But no, he did develop feelings for Ye Xinglan's body.

Nan Fusheng was by no means the kind of male chauvinist who held the outdated and pedantic idea that "once I have been intimate with you, you are now my woman and you are not allowed to have any dealings with other men."

In his mind, if he had to take full responsibility for something like this, what would happen if he helped several wayward girls in the future? Would he have to take responsibility for each of them? To him, that would be extremely troublesome.

This is probably what they mean by "ruthless abandonment." Although, on the surface, it seems as if he has been ruthlessly abandoned by Ye Xinglan.

But it's okay, this feeling is pretty good, he likes this kind of vibe.

Back at the restaurant, Nan Fusheng was suddenly tackled to the ground. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Xu Xiaoyan.

"What are you doing?" Nan Fusheng said helplessly.

"Have Xinglan and the others left?"

"I'm gone."

Xu Xiaoyan smiled slyly and said, "Then let's continue what we did this morning. If you don't feed me well today, you won't be able to leave this door."

Nan Fusheng was startled. "Didn't I feed you well this morning? Aren't you afraid of overeating?"

Xu Xiaoyan blushed and gave a soft snort, "I've already digested your little bit."

Nan Fusheng looked at Xu Xiaoyan's lower abdomen, which had indeed become much flatter. Moreover, Xu Xiaoyan did not seem to touch her chopsticks at breakfast that morning. Was it all for this moment?

Xu Xiaoyan smiled smugly, "With such a delicious feast before me, why would I want to eat any other side dishes? Don't worry, I've already asked the servants around here to leave temporarily. It's just you and me here now."

"Hurry up, if you know what's good for you, climb onto the table yourself. I'm going to enjoy my feast now." Xu Xiaoyan patted the table next to her and gestured to Nan Fusheng.

This girl is getting better and better at having fun.

Nan Fusheng's lips twitched. "But it's still morning, isn't it? Didn't you say you'd come in the evening?"

"It's none of your business. I can't back out now." Xu Xiaoyan slightly raised her fair chin. "Just tell me, are you going to go or not?"

"Go for it! Why not? Today I'll show you what I'm capable of." With such a good opportunity, Nan Fusheng had no intention of disagreeing.

Xu Xiaoyan smiled charmingly, "Then let's see who can get the upper hand today."

……

In the afternoon, in the bedroom.

Nan Fusheng looked at Xu Xiaoyan, who was heavily pregnant, and smiled indulgently. He let this girl show off. Now, not only did he give her breakfast, but he also fed her lunch and dinner.

Nan Fusheng casually turned on the soul guidance screen in the room, which displayed the scene of the Star Dou Battle Network All-Federation Challenge.

The Federation is clearly determined to promote this new soul-guided technology in order to obtain more data and improve the Star Dou Battle Network.

This can also be used to collect intelligence on the younger generation of Soul Masters in the entire Federation, and even in the future, with the vigorous promotion of the Star Dou Battle Network, to obtain specific data on a large number of Soul Masters.

After all, falling behind means being vulnerable to attack. With the implementation of the Star Battle Network, some large families, in order not to fall behind the times, will probably have to reluctantly send their younger generations to experience this brand-new equipment.

This is a perfectly legitimate and open strategy. To enter the Star Battle Network, one must have their entire body scanned by the Star Battle pod and then have the data transmitted back to the mainframe at the Federation headquarters. In this way, the Federation will have access to that person's specific data and indirectly obtain intelligence.

Even if it's not obvious now, its terror will gradually become apparent when the Star Battle Network spreads across the continent.

Nan Fusheng was happy to see this happen, since most of the technicians responsible for operating and testing the Star Dou Battle Network host were his people.

"It's just a bunch of noobs fighting each other."

Looking at the screen, Nan Fusheng noticed that, perhaps because the competition had just started, most of the matches were just weaklings fighting each other, while a few skilled players were instantly defeating the weaklings. There was no excitement to be seen at all.

"Now we just have to wait for the invasion from the Abyss Plane." Nan Fusheng stroked Xu Xiaoyan's hair and thought to himself.

"My physical body has been completely transformed into a divine body. You can come to Dragon Valley to sign the Soul Contract now." At this moment, a spiritual thought entered Nan Fusheng's mind, making him slightly happy.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

……

At the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda.

"That concludes my research on ten-thousand-year-old soul spirits. Our Spirit Pagoda's research on artificial ten-thousand-year-old soul spirits is now nearing completion, and the cost of manufacturing soul spirits has begun to decrease significantly."

"I think we might be able to conduct some pilot programs first, vigorously promote the existence of ten-thousand-year-old artificial souls, and then release a small number of ten-thousand-year-old artificial souls into the market for sale, and then gradually increase the amount of investment later."

At the meeting, the silver-haired, purple-eyed girl was explaining in detail to the higher-ups of the Spirit Tower about her research on artificial, ten-thousand-year-old souls.

"In addition to the ten-thousand-year-old artificial soul spirit, we also have another research project on soul spirit ascension. This is designed for established and powerful individuals, and can help their soul spirits ascend."

"However, that technology is not yet mature enough, and the small plane we are using for research is not very stable. It still requires a lot of resources. So I hope that you, Tower Master, can allocate some more resources to me to consolidate that small plane."

"If any of you are interested, you can try out the effect of that small plane on the ascension of souls."

After speaking, Gu Yuena bowed slightly and then retreated behind Qian Gu Dongfeng.

"I'm sure you've all heard what Nana said. The benefits of creating an artificial ten-thousand-year-old soul to our Spirit Pagoda are self-evident, and another research project can further enhance the influence of our Spirit Pagoda, thereby influencing those established powerhouses and doing them a favor."

"Regarding Nana's research, I, Qian Gu Dong Feng, am the first to support it, and the Qian Gu family is willing to contribute resources to assist. Now, I have decided to allow Gu Yue Na to draw upon most of the resources within the Spirit Pagoda for her research. What do you all think?"

Qian Gu Dongfeng rested his chin on his hands, looked at the high-ranking members of the Spirit Transmission Tower in the conference room, and said calmly.

"I object." At this moment, a calm voice rang out, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Qian Gu Dong Feng turned his gaze to the opposing figure and couldn't help but be amazed.

No wonder she is considered one of the two goddesses of the Spirit Pagoda, along with Gu Yuena. With such beauty alone, it's no wonder her elder brother took her as his personal disciple and treated her like his own daughter.

But what does it mean that she's suddenly opposing me now?!

Qian Gu Dongfeng's face immediately darkened. As an ambitious and ruthless man, what he hated most was the appearance of voices that dared to oppose him.

He didn't speak, but an invisible pressure emanated from him.

Inside the meeting room, some of the weaker members of parliament even felt difficulty breathing and were filled with horror.

The thirty-six council members who were able to become members of the Spirit Pagoda were already quite strong, but at this moment they could not even withstand the aura of the Ancient East Wind.

This made them recall the experience of the tower master. Even though the Spirit Douluo hadn't made a move for a long time, his strength hadn't diminished at all.

Qian Gu Dongfeng's title is: Spirit Transmission! The Spirit Transmission Douluo, Qian Gu Dongfeng. In his youth, he used this title to forge a formidable reputation for the Spirit Transmission Tower. Had he not met Yun Ming, his fame would likely have been even greater.

At this moment, facing the oppressive force of the ancient east wind, Fors remained calm and composed, as if he felt nothing at all.

This made Qian Gu Dong Feng look at her in a new light; this girl, who had been taken in as a disciple by her own brother, seemed to be quite extraordinary.
