Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 101

Chapter 101: Rising to Fame – Flying General Nan Feihuang

The next morning, the academy’s new semester began.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, deserted for over a month, buzzed with activity once more.

Nan Feihuang, however, didn’t attend class. Instead, he waited in the academy square. Theoretically, he was still on leave.

Shortly after, a familiar, boisterous voice approached, “Young Flying General, I’ve come! Haven’t seen you for a month. Did you miss me, haha?”

The newcomer, clad in a jade-green robe, with white hair and beard, was none other than Poison Douluo Du Guobo. His hair and beard should have been green, but after most of his poison was cured, they were gradually returning to normal. The pungent stench that had perpetually clung to him had also vanished.

With those he accepted, Du Guobo displayed none of the gloom he showed to strangers. Instead, he was exceptionally cheerful and straightforward. His voice, imbued with potent soul power, though not overly loud, resonated across the entire academy, audible to everyone.

Among the Imperial Dou team, Yu Tianheng questioned, “Flying General? Is that Nan Feihuang? When did he get such a nickname?”

“My grandfather gave it to him,” Du Gu Yan explained, a hint of jealousy in her tone. “Grandpa told me that Feihuang’s dream is to become the greatest general in the world, so he gave him this nickname. You wouldn’t believe how much my grandfather adores this ‘Young Flying General.’ He talked about him more than he talked about me during the holiday!” She added with a sigh, “It feels like my grandpa is about to be stolen away.”

Yu Tianheng chuckled, “It’s quite fitting, actually. When I first fought Feihuang, I sensed that his halberd techniques were less like self-created Soul Master skills and more like battlefield tactics. So his dream is to be a general; no wonder he learns such halberd techniques.”

Approaching Nan Feihuang, he said, “Junior Flying General, Happy New Year! I hope we can cooperate even better this year.”

Seeing their captain address him thus, Osaro, Ye Lingling, Yu Feng, and the others also came forward to greet Nan Feihuang, using his new title.

Nan Feihuang felt a little embarrassed. “Senior brothers and sisters, please don’t tease me. It’s just a playful nickname between me and Poison Douluo.”

In front of others, Nan Feihuang wouldn’t call Du Guobo “Old Poison,” instead addressing him as “Senior” or “Your Excellency.”

This wasn’t because Nan Feihuang lacked ease. It was a matter of status. He wasn’t a free Soul Master, but the crown prince of Ancient Thunder King Country, his every word and deed representing the kingdom’s image. Calling a Title Douluo “Old Poison” in public would invite criticism of Nan Feihuang and even the entire royal family’s lack of etiquette.

Therefore, Nan Feihuang had an agreement with Du Guobo: the nicknames “Old Poison” and “Young Flying General” were for private use only. In public, Nan Feihuang would use the more formal address.

This restriction applied only to Nan Feihuang. Du Guobo, a free Soul Master, didn’t care about etiquette. As a Title Douluo, he could call a child whatever he pleased. Even calling Nan Feihuang “brat” or “stinker” wouldn’t cause any issue.

In fact, many students and teachers, besides Yu Tianheng and others, approved of the nickname. Firstly, Nan Feihuang wielded his halberd like a true general. Secondly, the nickname came from a Title Douluo himself—who would dare disagree?

From that day on, the nickname “Flying General Nan Feihuang” spread among the students and beyond.

Du Guobo smiled, walking beside Nan Feihuang. “Alright, Young Flying General, let’s go. Don’t forget, your leave isn’t over yet. You still need to continue learning about poison from me.”

“Yes, Poison Douluo Senior!” Nan Feihuang responded respectfully. Publicly, they were senior and junior, a Title Douluo instructing a common student. He couldn’t afford to be casual with Du Guobo.

“Hm!” Du Guobo nodded, grabbing Nan Feihuang’s shoulder and flying out of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Once outside, Nan Feihuang reverted to his usual self. “Old Poison, in front of so many people, you shouldn’t call me such an arrogant nickname. I’m probably going to be mocked by those nobles for being presumptuous.”

“Hmph, those worthless nobles, they dare!” Du Guobo declared fiercely. “Anyone I approve of, who dares mock them? Besides, you’re only ten years old, yet you’re a Heavenly Dou level student. Probably no one in your class is your match. You’re practically the academy’s top student. They have no right to mock you!”

“Young Flying General, I’m actually helping you become famous. Believe me, one day you’ll thank me for this.”

“Fine, I’ll let you get away with it this time, Old Poison.” Nan Feihuang shrugged. What was done was done. Words couldn’t be taken back. He had to accept it.

They returned to the Ice and Fire Eyes.

Du Guobo’s detoxification was eighty percent complete.

However, unlike the original story, Du Guobo didn’t intend to leave any poison in his body. He planned to transfer it all to his soul bone, cultivate the Indestructible Body Technique, then extract some again.

This way, he could retain some poison internally without risk, using the remaining poison as a bridge to integrate the new Medusa poison and the Azure Scale Snake poison within his soul bone, creating an even more potent toxin.

With an indestructible body, Du Guobo could boldly experiment with various poisons he had only dared to dream of before. His strength would increase tremendously, and his dream of becoming the world’s top poison Soul Master would become a realistic goal.

Nan Feihuang estimated that the detoxification process would be completely finished in two months at most, fulfilling his promise to Du Guobo.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue in the East Palace listened to She Long’s report. After their confession, she had She Long closely observe Nan Feihuang, offering help whenever possible and eliminating any threats beforehand.

“Heh, Flying General? That old poison’s description of our Feihuang is quite accurate. Feihuang truly has the bearing of a general,” Xue Qinghe chuckled, using his male persona.

“Your Feihuang?” She Long noticed the discrepancy.

“Ahem!” Xue Qinghe coughed to cover his embarrassment. “Uncle She, don’t worry about the details. But I really like the nickname ‘Flying General Nan Feihuang.’ Have people spread it around. Feihuang probably enjoys the spotlight, right?”

She was right. Nan Feihuang’s ambition to unify the world stemmed from a desire for glory and prestige. He did enjoy the spotlight, provided it was deserved.

The title “Flying General” felt too grand for him, so he hesitated to accept it.

Unfortunately, others’ enthusiasm couldn’t be stopped. With some help from those who wanted to boost his fame, at the start of the new year, the name “Flying General Nan Feihuang” quickly gained renown throughout Heavenly Dou City.
