Douluo Dalu - Volume 01-48

by Tang Jia San Shao

  Xiao Wu’s arm seemed fair and soft, but was extremely tough. With Tang San’s strength, he was unable to struggle free from her twining. Underfoot forcing a leap back, but Xiao Wu’s body was like four weights of cotton following together with his leap. While Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was exquisite, like this it had already lost effect.

  In order to avoid Xiao Wu’s scorpion braid, Tang San abruptly raised his head, bending backwards at the waist, using the Iron Panel Bridge form to dodge. Simultaneously, unable to still hold back Mysterious Heaven skill, moving both arms, since he was afraid to injure Xiao Wu he only used half the effect.

  Who could know, that when Tang San used force, Xiao Wu’s both hands abruptly let go. Immediately following, Tang San felt a great force coming from his waist, and suddenly unable to again judge control, immediately fell backwards.

  With a thump, Tang San fell to the ground facing up, two small hands supported by the gravitational force caused by his fall pressed on Tang San’s two shoulder joints, causing both his arms a burst of tingling, unable to exert strength. And by then, Xiao Wu’s body completely sat straddling his waist, triumphantly looking at him. Tang San’s lower abdomen in comprehensive contact with and feeling the elasticity of Xiao Wu’s little butt.

  “How about it? Convinced or not?”

  Xiao Wu lowered her head to look at Tang San, face ecstatic.

  If speaking of the first time when Xiao Wu threw Tang San it was certainly not the best feeling, this time was depressing. From the point of view of physical strength, Xiao Wu seemed compared to him must be weaker. But this fighting method of hers was too strange. Tang San’s own fighting experience also was not considered abundant, then suddenly came into contact with this method.

  “Not convinced, come again.”

  Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, in his heart refusing to give in.

  Xiao Wu triumphantly said:

  “You still want to? But I won’t give you the opportunity. Having skill, you first struggle free again.”

  How to struggle free of shoulder joint control? Mysterious Heaven skill’s operation route was obstructed.

  “What on earth are you up to? Still not quickly getting up. In public, to go so far……”

  At this time, a discordant voice reached them.

  Xiao Wu and Tang San simultaneously looked up, only to see a female teacher walk in their direction in a rage.

  Indeed, right now Tang San and Xiao Wu’s posture was truly somewhat unbecoming. Tang San lying flat on the ground, both arms spread on two sides, Xiao Wu straddling his waist, both hands pressing down on his shoulders and head bent to look at him. Even though the two were only children, but this action, truly was somewhat……

  Xiao Wu’s little face turned red, jumping up to her feet from on top of Tang San. Tang San also took advantage of being free and climbed to his feet.

  The female teacher had already come over, angrily said:

  “You two, what do you have to say?”

  Tang San felt he as the boy should explain, but before he had opened his mouth, Xiao Wu already rushed to explain:

  “Teacher, we are exchanging pointers.”

  Part 4

  “Exchanging pointers? Lying on the ground exchanging pointers? Taking what appearance? How have your families taught you? It looks as if you ought to be this year’s first year students, right. Such young scholars flirting, what about when grown up?”

  The teachers reprimand was like the sound of popping beans in the two people’s ears. Tang San stealthily glanced at Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu was also looking at him, and stuck out her tongue in his direction.

  Hearing the teacher speaking about parents, Tang San could not help but say:

  “Teacher, we truly were exchanging pointers on spirit abilities.”

  The term spirit abilities he had during the day heard Wang Sheng say, at this point could also be considered learning and using.

  The female teacher looked at him with a somewhat disdainful eye, and said:

  “You have just entered the academy, what spirit abilities could you have. Making up lies is also not a reasonable approach. Move, follow me to the dean’s office.”

  “No.”

  Tang San and Xiao Wu answered practically in unison.

  Tang San earnestly said:

  “Teacher, we really were exchanging pointers on spirit abilities. How about, we let you see us exchanging pointers.”

  Xiao Wu clapped her chest, saying:

  “I’ll come. Teacher, you don’t say anything, I’ll also exchange pointers with you for a moment, ok.”

  Without waiting for the female teacher to react by coming over, Xiao Wu leapt up, worthy of a rabbit spirit, this leap of hers was truly high, no less that one metre off the ground, both hands directly held in the direction of the teacher’s neck.

  Xiao Wu leaping this high also startled that female teacher, subconsciously she raised both hands to ward off Xiao Wu’s arms.

  Tang San in his heart was snickering, this teacher might get the worst of it.

  Tang San still did not know Xiao Wu’s real strength, but he was very clear about his own strength. Even though his Mysterious Heaven skill could not advance, but relying on his own physical strength in addition to the first tier pinnacle Mysterious Heaven skill, he still could not look down on this world’s spirit additional capability circumstances. And comparing efficacy he was even a bit higher than this opponent, who also definitely was not a match for his Tang sect martial arts.

  And Xiao Wu was a person who could a moment ago defeat him, her spirit ability was so singularly strange, that regardless of who faced it for the first time, probably all would be at a disadvantage.

  As expected, the female teacher’s both hands were tangled up by Xiao Wu’s arms practically in the first moment, and immediately afterwards, her scorpion braid also whipped out, just happening to twine about that female teacher’s neck.

  This after all was a primary spirit master academy, and the teachers’ general strength was also only around the level of a spirit grandmaster, for the most part at twenty fifth rank on average. From that point of view, not exceeding a thirtieth rank spirit master, they were practically in the first moment unable to possess their own spirit abilities. These teachers in fighting skills were by far unable to compare to Tang San. And at present this female teacher facing two first year students, naturally was unable to think of using her spirit. This female teacher is herself also a tool spirit master, with priority to assistance. Therefore, when face to face, she was already greatly deficient.

  Xiao Wu’s scorpion braid wound about the female teacher’s neck, both arms entangling both her hands. Both her leaping legs simultaneously stretched forward, just enough to kick down at the female teacher’s lower abdomen. Just when these practically at the same time accomplished, her upper body abruptly bent back, pulling back the scorpion braid with both hands strength. Faintly, pale white light could be seen appearing on Xiao Wu’s body.

  The teacher cried out in alarm in the middle of losing balance, Xiao Wu’s both hands released at the right time, producing an escape flip movement, both legs kicking, and the female teacher’s body at once flew back.

  Xiao Wu’s movements towards the teacher were not as gentle as against Tang San, this time the teacher’s body was kicked a full three meters away. Falling heavily to the ground. Even if this female teacher had spirit power body protection, falling was confusing, all along can’t find direction.

  Xiao Wu walked up next to the female teacher, big eyes blinking, an innocent face,

  “Teacher, you alright?”

  The female teacher dully applied spirit power, clambering to her feet with difficulty. Looking at Xiao Wu’s appearance, her eyes revealing a bewildered expression.

  Spirit ability, definitely, it was spirit ability. Otherwise, even if she was not a battle spirit master, how could she be thrown by a young child like this? And also when she tangled both her hands suddenly became extremely tough, that ab
solutely was a spirit adding effect. What kind of person was this girl anyway?

  The female teacher could perhaps not care about Xiao Wu, she also believed that when using her spirit circumstances would be able to subdue this child, but she had no choice but to consider Xiao Wu’s background. From one point of view, of Douluo’s formidable spirit masters, spirits all are clan inheritance. This young possessing spirit ability, it shows her spirit had great ferocity. The female teacher in her heart couldn’t help but be perturbed. She was just a spirit grandmaster, and this child might have the strength of a spirit master ancestral family. As a spirit master from a common family she could not cause offense.

  “Y-, you……, later you must not exchange pointers on the sports ground, you must have a teacher nearby to safeguard, do you understand?”

  The female teacher simply explained in a few sentences, and left dejected and depressed. In her heart resolving, to first thing tomorrow look into this girl’s background.

  Looking at the female teacher’s gradually distancing figure, Tang San asked in a low voice in Xiao Wu’s direction:

  “That move you used just now, it seems quite powerful.”

  Xiao Wu rather proudly said:

  “I already stayed my hand, otherwise the consequence could have been very serious, oh. That is called Rabbit Kicking Eagle, can be my proudest technique.”

  Having spoken to here, she suddenly looked warily in Tang San’s direction,

  “Why are you asking so clearly? Thinking about later producing a good countermeasure?”

  Tang San couldn’t help but shake his head, saying:

  “You are clearly gauging the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure.”

  Xiao Wu angrily said:

  “You dare say I am a base person? Then we will continue exchanging pointers, right.”

  Tang San looked at Xiao Wu and could not help but be somewhat speechless, this silly girl bullied him as if addicted to bullying. Since it was merely exchanging pointers, how could he be afraid? Hooking his hand in Xiao Wu’s direction,

  “Then come on.”

  Xiao Wu at his side, turned and counterattacked with her palm coming at him.

  Having experienced the second lesson, Tang San could not let her easily tangle him. He knew that dealing with Xiao Wu’s style of close quarters attack method was an uncertain opponent, so opening distance was the best method. Figure dodging, quickly retreating, already dodging several meters away.

  Part 5

  Xiao Wu snorted,

  “Comparing speed, I still won’t fear you.”

  Body shooting forward, she pounced in Tang San’s direction.

  Tang San smiled slightly, this time he was at last fully prepared. If he again let Xiao Wu easily throw him, then for these years he truly would have practiced in vain.

  In his eyes flashed a trace of faint purple, the trace of using Demon Purple Eye. Under the effect of Purple Demon Eye, Xiao Wu’s movements were clear and slow to his eyes. Feet stepping with Perplexing Track, one smooth step already shifted him more than two metres, just enough to avoid Xiao Wu’s pounce, even for her hair braid and long legs it would still impossible to reach two metres out.

  Xiao Wu was clearly dumbfounded. She herself had expert agility, and Tang San’s speed had not seemed faster, but just enough to be able to avoid her opening pounce. And from her point of view, to bring out her most expert Soft Skill she had to first come into contact with the opponent’s body. This time Tang San simply did not give her an opportunity like that.

  Xiao Wu naturally could not resign, taking a rabbit stance, and again she increasing the speed a bit, pursuing Tang San with bare fangs and brandished claws.

  Tang San took a deep breath, Mysterious Heaven skill flowing down, entering both legs, feet using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, circling this wide open sports ground with Xiao Wu.

  Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was extremely marvelous. Seemingly Tang San’s movements were certainly not fast, but every step taken secretly contained extreme power. No matter how fast Xiao Wu’s speed, or in which direction she pounced, he could always at the most appropriate time take a step in the best direction, not giving Xiao Wu the opportunity to approach him.

  This could in fact be Tang sect’s true art: Tang sect practitioners were not necessarily contesting with the opponent directly from the front, since they were most skilled in hidden weapons, relying on lightness skill in combination with hidden weapons was the killer weapon of Tang sect disciples.

  Two people, one pursuing and one dodging, in a moment they had already moved all over half the sports ground. Xiao Wu already starting to be somewhat out of breath, could no matter how not catch up to Tang San.

  “Hey, you are this shameless.”

  Not catching up, Xiao Wu simply did not pursue, and stood there fuming with anger, both hands on her waist, big eyes glaring at Tang San,

  “We are exchanging pointers, not playing catch-up, your constant dodging counts as what, have the skill to attack at me, ah!”

  Tang San smiled slightly,

  “Good, then you take care.”

  While speaking, he conveniently gathered from the side of the sports ground several stones into the palm of his hand,

  “Striking your left shoulder.”

  One stone already flew out.

  Xiao Wu snorted, her body in a flash dodging to the right.

  “Striking your right shoulder, left lower leg, right lower leg.”

  Three stones simultaneously flew out from Tang San’s palm.

  The first stone truly was striking towards Xiao Wu’s left shoulder, but right now she was watching three stones as if flying in a single direction, in her heart thinking to herself, this fellow is definitely deceiving me. Not retreating and instead advancing, suddenly accelerating, facing Tang San and pouncing, simultaneously raising both hands before her chest to block. It was only a pebble, nothing more, just knock it down.

  But, making Xiao Wu shocked a scene took place, just as she saw she could clap down the stones, those three pebbles suddenly separated, and flying out in three different directions.

  At such a close distance, there already was not enough time for an effective reaction.

  “Aiyou, aiyou.”

  Three stones fell in place, just right to strike Xiao Wu’s right shoulder, left lower leg and right lower leg.

  Although Tang San had not infused Mysterious Heaven skill into the pebbles, when struck head-on, Xiao Wu still felt a burst of extreme pain.

  “Good, you dare use stones to hit me.”

  Xiao Wu certainly did not know, that this was Tang San’s since arriving in this world, the first time genuinely facing an opponent using hidden weapons. What he used was in Mysterious Heaven Profound Record the Hidden Weapons Hundred Separation technique Swallows Parting Flight. Seeming simple, but in it was contained cunning tricks that were extremely exquisite. Among the Hidden Weapons Hundred Separation technique, because of the Mysterious Heaven skill restriction, up until now Tang San was only with an effort able to use two or three kinds, that’s all, this Swallows Parting Flight was the only one among them that was extremely proficient.

  “Allowing you to throw me, but not letting me use pebbles? This time it’s your loss.”

  “Doesn’t count, doesn’t count, come again……”

  Xiao Wu firmly believed, she need only be prepared, in no way could Tang San hit the mark again.

  “Xiao Wu, you still want to! Then come on……”

  Continuing exchanging pointers, and also continuing for a very long time. As for results, when Tang San early on the second day left the Nuoding primary spirit master academy with Grandmaster, on his lips he was still talking about how striking a moving target was fun!

  And that same evening, no story took place with two people sharing a bed, after all, they were too tired from exchanging pointers.

  Early morning, when the vast majority of Nuoding academy’s teachers and student were still in deep slee
p, one tall and one short, two people already departed the big academy gate.

  “Teacher, where will we go to find spirit beasts?”

  These departing from the academy, were exactly Grandmaster and Tang San alone.

  “We will go four hundred li northeast of Nuoding city to Spirit Hunting Forest. There is where the empire holds spirit beasts captive. Certainly can find something that suits you.”

  Grandmaster today wore tough clothing, seeming like it somewhat increased his heroic spirit, it was only that stiff face that like before gave people a kind of discordant feeling.

  “Captive? Spirit bests can also be held captive?” Teacher, you explain to me about spirit beast lore, right.”

  Grandmaster nodded, and said:

  “High level spirit beasts naturally cannot be captured, but lower level ones can. Spirit beasts are a kind of animals that possess spirit power. The longer they exist, the more powerful they become. Therefore, from this point of view, based on number of years we divide them into five levels. Ten year spirit beasts, hundred year spirit beasts, thousand year spirit beasts, ten thousand year spirit beasts and hundred thousand year spirit beasts. Its meaning is just as the name implies, a spirit beast cultivating for over ten years, is a ten year spirit beast, and so on. Spirit rings are distinguished the same as spirit beasts. Different age spirit rings are very easily recognized, it can be seen from color. Of these, ten year spirit beasts’ spirit rings are white, hundred years’ are yellow, thousand year spirit beasts’ spirit rings are purple, ten thousand year spirit beasts’ are black, and hundred thousand year spirit beasts’ spirit rings are red. Those that are regularly captured by the country, supplying spirit masters with spirit beasts to hunt and kill, for the most part are ten years and hundred years. Few thousand year spirit beasts appear.”
