"Good, good, good!"
Wang Xing exclaimed repeatedly as he witnessed Wang Nan's transformation.
Wang Nan retracted his spirit power, and the dark golden armor on his body transformed back into a spirit ring. However, the giant Dragon on the Coiling Dragon Staff remained attached.
"This…" Wang Nan was puzzled, looking at his Spirit.
Wang Xing followed Wang Nan's gaze, first startled, then his astonishment turned into ecstasy.
"Hahahaha." Wang Xing laughed heartily, patting Wang Nan's shoulder. "Let's go home first. On the way, I'll tell you a legend about the Dragon."
"Do you know why our Spirit is called the Coiling Dragon Staff?" Wang Xing asked Wang Nan as they walked.
"Is it because of the Dragon-like patterns on it?"
"No, there are so many things that resemble Dragons, but not all of them can be given the name 'Dragon.' Our Spirit is called the Coiling Dragon Staff because it's truly possible to awaken a true Dragon from within it."
'What?' Wang Nan was stunned. His understanding of the Coiling Dragon Staff was still limited to Wang Yan in his past life's memories, and he had never heard anyone mention such a secret about the Coiling Dragon Staff.
A hint of nostalgia appeared in Wang Xing's eyes. "Your grandfather told me this. In fact, before I saw such a change in your Spirit, I always treated it as a legend."
"The origin of our Coiling Dragon Staff Spirit can no longer be traced, but rumor has it that our ancestors also produced Super Douluo. True giant Dragons were coiled around their Spirits."
"Legend has it that if the wielder of the Coiling Dragon Staff Spirit possesses a righteous heart and a fearless heart, they can awaken the true power of the Coiling Dragon Staff. The patterns on it will no longer be Dragon patterns, but true giant Dragons."
"It's a pity that we, the descendants, haven't lived up to expectations. Aside from the ancestral legends, no one has ever awakened the true Coiling Dragon Staff."
"I never expected that one day the legend would become reality, and that person would be my child." Wang Xing was somewhat emotional as he said this.
"Without a doubt, Nan'er, you are the one in the legend with a righteous heart and a fearless heart. The Spirit you possess is the true Coiling Dragon Staff."
'The true Coiling Dragon Staff?'
Wang Nan raised his Spirit, looking at the lifelike giant Dragon on the Coiling Dragon Staff. The light cluster in his spiritual sea flickered slightly, and the giant Dragon also seemed to come alive, slowly swimming. Its Dragon head came before Wang Nan, and their eyes met.
Wang Nan suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if he was looking at himself.
'So this really is my talent.'
…
After obtaining the fourth spirit ring, the holiday quickly passed, and Wang Nan once again arrived at the entrance of Shrek Academy.
"Hello, Senior Brother Wang!"
Several young men and women stood at the school gate, and one girl among them shouted excitedly upon seeing Wang Nan.
"Hello." Wang Nan hadn't expected someone to suddenly greet him. After a slight pause, he spoke, "May I help you?"
The girl just shook her head vigorously.
Wang Nan was somewhat puzzled, but it wasn't appropriate to ask further, so he continued walking into the academy.
What Wang Nan didn't know was that the fact that a third-year Disciple had continuously meditated deeply for three months was no longer a secret. It was just that most people didn't know who that Disciple specifically was.
The person just now was relatively well-informed and knew that Wang Nan was the one involved, but she didn't widely publicize it. She just greeted Wang Nan excitedly after seeing him.
Wang Nan continued walking into the academy when the light cluster in his spiritual sea suddenly flickered slightly.
Wang Nan frowned, stopping and looking around. The previous times the light cluster had changed like this were after encountering Evil Soul Masters, but this was Shrek Academy. The people around were either Disciples or teachers; where would there be any trace of an Evil Soul Master?
Soon, he turned his gaze towards the direction of the new student registration.
If there truly was an Evil Soul Master, they should be mixed among these new students.
However, there were no suspicious individuals there. The most striking person was a girl with a black ponytail, who was currently arguing with the teacher responsible for new student registration.
"Student, although you meet Shrek Academy's admission standards, without a letter of recommendation, you cannot enroll at Shrek."
"I am a Tang Sect Disciple, and I should have an exemption from examination at Shrek Academy!"
The teacher in charge of new student registration smiled, "Student, I don't know where you heard this news, but Shrek Academy did give Tang Sect an exemption from examination, but Tang Sect no longer exists."
"Tang Sect is still here! My name is Tang Ya, and I am the Sect Leader of Tang Sect!"
"Little girl, don't joke around. Ever since Tang Sect gradually declined, many people have impersonated Tang Sect Disciples to come to Shrek Academy each year. At the very least, you need to provide something that can prove your identity as a Tang Sect Disciple."
'Is this Tang Ya?' Wang Nan remembered that Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass Spirit did seem to be somewhat impure.
Tang Ya's attention was currently on the teacher in charge of registration in front of her. Hearing his words, she reached out, intending to take out the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, which contained the Tang Sect's unique skills. After thinking for a moment, she withdrew her hand. Then she extended both hands, and several fingers could be seen turning a light green color.
"This is the Tang Sect's unique skill, Mysterious Jade Hand."
Since this teacher could be responsible for registration here, his knowledge was naturally extraordinary. He immediately recognized that this was a genuine Mysterious Jade Hand.
"Please wait a moment." The teacher in charge of registration said, then looked up at the other new students waiting in line behind him. "New students waiting here, please re-queue at other teachers' stations. Registration here is temporarily suspended."
With that, he hurriedly left with Tang Ya.
"Hey, Senior Brother, what happened up front? Why do we have to re-queue?"
Wang Nan turned around at the sound, seeing a young boy of about ten standing behind him. His appearance was somewhat outstanding, but his eyes were very restless, constantly glancing at several girls. He wasn't wearing a school uniform, so he was probably also a new student enrolling this year.
"You haven't even registered yet, and you're already calling me Senior Brother?" Wang Nan laughed. "Also, the academy encourages fighting among students. If you keep looking like that, be careful those girls drag you to the Fighting Soul Zone."
The boy in front of him immediately became well-behaved upon hearing this, but there was no sign of admitting fault in his words. "I just look; it's not that serious, is it? Besides, even if I go to that Fighting Soul Zone, I might not lose to them."
Most other people coming to Shrek Academy to register carried some apprehension and anxiety. For this child to be so relaxed, he was either extremely dull or truly had some talent.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Xu Sanshi. Hehe, Senior Brother, I'm going to register now. We'll be seeing each other in the academy from now on, so we can talk more then."
Xu Sanshi gave Wang Nan a knowing look, then, without waiting for Wang Nan's response, walked towards the registration area, his eyes already looking elsewhere.
Wang Nan shook his head slightly, no longer lingering, and walked towards the dormitory.
