Douluo Dalu - Volume 01-48

by Tang Jia San Shao

  Originally in a vastly superior position, the situation completely transformed under the Wishful Disk Spirit Master’s spirit ability. A thousand year spirit ring’s ability indeed wasn’t common. What the Shrek Seven Devils didn’t know was that the reason the opponents were called Mad Battle Team was their relationship with the current condition. That Wishful Disk Spirit Master’s third spirit ring ability was obtained from a Fanatic Devil Lizard[ (狂热魔蜥) “Mad Fervent Devil/Magic Lizard”], when used, this thousand year spirit ring’s ability was able to grant a fanatical condition for three minutes.

  After gaining the fanatical condition, one would lose the sense of pain, and if one’s mental strength was too weak, one would also simultaneously lose consciousness. In exchange it would boost all attributes by fifty percent. And once gained the auxiliary system spirit ability also lasted independently for one minute. In other words, even if that Wishful Disk Spirit Master was now already unconscious, the effect of his efforts on the Mad Battle Team members would still be sustained for one minute under Fanaticisms own power.

  It was also just like this that they could reverse the situation in an instant.

  Of course, the Fanaticism ability being this tyrannical, it naturally also had flaws. The flaws were very straightforward: the Fanaticism ability only had a duration of three minutes, and after three minutes the ones affected by the Fanaticism ability would be unable to use or condense spirit power for one double hour. In other words, if they couldn’t defeat the opponent under the effects of Fanaticism, they would die themselves. This was an all-in spirit ability, but its effects were also absolutely beyond the ordinary, capable of reversing Heaven and Earth in a key moment.

  Part 3

  At this key moment, it displayed Tang San’s importance as a Control System Spirit Master and the soul of the team. He gave up attacking up front. Blue Silver Grass quickly shot out, and following Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, who was being chased by the enemy team’s two monkey Spirit Masters, was pulled back beside Tang San. Who also came back was Dai Mubai, who just got forced away by his opponent. In a short time, he gathered the seven people on his team.

  Control System Spirit Masters not only have to control the enemy, they also have to control their own team. What Tang San did showed how well he knew his job.

  Surprisingly, Mad Battle Team’s six people with spiked strength did not attack. With a shrill scream, the flirtatious young woman gathered her team up as well.

  “Surrender. Or else, even I can’t control what damage we might do.”The flirtatious young lady’s voice was very pleasing, yet her tone was full of helplessness.

  Yet the members of the Mad Battle Team beside her were breathing heavily, their surging spirit power fluctuations formed an assaulting pressure.

  Dai Mubai coldly shouted: “You want me to surrender? Quit dreaming. Beat us first and then we’ll talk.”

  The flirtatious spider woman Spirit Master disdainfully twitched her mouth. “If not for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master, you think I would waste time talking? If so, I can only say sorry for the damage soon to be caused by us.”

  A shrill scream sounded from her again. Fanaticism only lasted for three minutes, so she couldn’t afford to delay any longer. Mad Battle Team already earned seven consecutive wins. If they continued winning, then their income would be incalculable. Even if the enemy had a Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master, they wouldn’t give up.

  In the previous spirit battles, the reason Mad Battle Team could repeatedly beat stronger enemies was the support ability Fanaticism. And it was also because of it that their members lost their consciousness and often ended matches with crippled or even dead enemies.

  As the commander, Tang San promptly shouted, “Everyone levitate.”

  Shrek’s Seven Monsters almost simultaneously ate a peculiar mushroom sausage. As the Mad Battle Team neared, the seven of them suddenly sprouted wings of light and shadow, levitating twenty meters into the air.

  The opponent suddenly disappeared, so the members of the Mad Battle team lost their targets. As the only clear minded one, spider woman spirit master turned pale. She never thought her enemies all had the ability to fly.

  In the air, Shrek’s Seven Monsters each ate another Recovering Sausage, recovering their spirit power and strength. Tang San didn’t mind the enemies below. Mad Battle Team didn’t have a single flying Spirit Master, and wasn’t adept at long range attacks either. Even the Control System Spirit Master of theirs couldn’t control people over twenty meters away.

  “Little San, what do we do now? The mushroom sausage only allows us to fly for one minute. Oscar can only fly for half a minute.” Though Dai Mubai wasn’t afraid, seeing the people with rank thirty five and above all grow even stronger made him feel helpless.

  Tang San didn’t panic. “If I guess correctly, the reason their power suddenly increased was because of the thousand year spirit ability that Support System Spirit Master used before he fainted, instantly increasing all their strength. But have you noticed that other than the spider woman Spirit master, all of them have lost their consciousness. According to Teacher’s knowledge of Support System Spirit Masters, this situation won’t last very long, just like Oscar’s mushroom sausages. Also, after the effect, they must have great side effects, or else wouldn’t that Support Type Spirit Master’s spirit be as strong as Rongrong’s Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda?”

  Ma Hongjun said: “But what if we fall down and they still haven’t lost their buff?”

  Tang San said heavily: “Then we can only bet. Victory is what we want, but everyone’s safety is more important. In their current state, Mad Battle Team is already beyond what we can go against. Little Ao, how many more mushroom sausages can you make?”

  Oscar first passed a sausage to Tang San. “I do not have much spirit power left. I gave one to Boss Dai when we were doing two versus two battles. After, I made one for each one of us and this is the ninth one. I can at most make one more.”

  “Little San, let me do it.” Dai Mubai already understood Tang San’s meaning. He wanted to rely on the longer flying time to bet that the Fanaticism will run out first, and also bet that Fanaticism would have severe side effects.

  Tang San said: “No, let me do it. Right now everyone has used quite a bit of spirit power. In close combat techniques, you aren’t as skilled as I am. Also, I have techniques that can keep me alive, even if their Fanaticism really lasts longer than I expect, I can still leave. Since you let me command, then just listen to me.”

  A minute’s time passed quickly, soon the minute was going to end, yet the Fanaticism effect on the members of the Mad Battle Team didn’t look like it was going away anytime soon.

  Spider women Spirit Master also calmed down from the starting panic. As a fellow Control System Spirit Master, her real combat experience was plentiful. If only a few people flew up they might have Flying Spirit Masters, but if all seven flew up at the same time, then it could only be a spirit ability. Tang San was betting, but wasn’t she betting that their flying lasted shorter than their Fanaticism as well?

  Oscar gave his last mushroom sausage to Tang San and immediately flew off stage. He was almost entirely depleted of spirit power, his face pale. His entire body was feeling the side effects of the emptiness within him. At this time, the three months of devilish training was paying off. Though it felt very painful, he was still very awake, not unlike a normal person. The major side effects of using excessive amounts of spirit power wasn’t showing that much.

  Another half minute passed, and Shrek’s Seven Monsters, other than Tang San, all flew off the Spirit Battle Platform.

  Spider women Spirit Master saw them all fly down one by one. Especially after seeing the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Spirit Master leaving, she let out a pent up breath.

  But when everyone left except Tang San, her expression changed again. At this time Tang San already ate his second mushroom sausage.

  “You’re not g
oing to leave” Spider women Spirit Master beamed an enchanting smile at Tang San.

  Tang San calmly laughed, “Though I’m the only one left, who can say the last winner isn’t us?”

  At this moment, all the spectators started an uproar.

  When they saw the entire Shrek’s Seven Monster fly upwards, they were already surprised. Seeing the checkmate happening, both screams of delight and anger sounded. Screams of delight were for the unique sight of everyone flying, and the anger was naturally from the lack of action. And all the anger was of course pointed at Tang San.

  Tang San didn’t mind the audience’s attitude. Right now he put all his attention on observing Mad Battle Team. His eyes shined purple. Purple Demon Eyes were activated.

  When Dai Mubai and the others left the stage, Tang San clearly saw the Mad Battle Team members shiver once, their vigor decreasing and their spirit power fluctuations not as great as before. Of course he didn’t know it was actually Mad Battle Team’s two previous buffs that disappeared. In his eyes, this was a sign that their Fanaticism was about to end, and he was a lot more confident in his own judgement.

  Mad Battle Team’s unconscious members were continuously roaring under him. Spider lady Spirit Master’s gaze was also fixed on Tang San. Both sides were waiting, waiting for the situation both sides yearned for.

  The last laugh was, in the end, Tang San’s. After eating the third mushroom sausage, just when he was about to give up, Mad Battle Team’s members all shuddered at once. Other than Spider lady Spirit Master, the others Fanaticism slowly faded, revealing confused expressions, their gaze becoming clearer while their spirit power fluctuations rapidly decreasing.

  Success. Tang San’s heart leapt with joy, but he couldn’t afford to be careless right now. He didn’t want to get tricked by the enemy and lose.

  Spider lady Spirit Master’s face changed. Though her body was still shaking, it wasn’t shaking as much as her teammates. Her spirit power still decreased majorly, causing her to look clearly weaker.

  Mushroom sausage’s flying effect finally wore off. Tang San slowly floated to the ground. With Oscar’s recovering sausages, his strength has recovered to its max already. His spirit power was also recovered to about forty percent.

  “Just as I thought. You couldn’t keep on flying.” Spider lady Spirit Master displayed her calm, not even glancing at the pale and pained teammates, Still staring at Tang San, as if she recovered her sharpness.

  Tang San laughed calmly. “Are you not the same? The status after all couldn’t last that long either. If I’m correct, even if your Support System Spirit Master did not faint, he could only use this ability once.”

  Chapter 047: Spider King’s Dominance

  Part 1 (TL by Bagelson)

  “What, don’t tell me you still think you can win? Don’t forget, right now you’re alone, and you’re facing us six.”

  The spider woman Spirit Master showed no weakness in her words.

  Tang San smiled slightly, saying:

  “But, perhaps only you still has the strength left to fight. Although I don’t know why you’re able to maintain a clear head and command your companions in that kind of state, you must all the same suffer the side effects of that kind of strengthening condition. Perhaps you still have a certain amount of spirit power left, but it can’t be at peak condition. Since it’s like this, this fight will have to come to decisive battle between you and me, isn’t that right?”

  Mad Xi was by now already completely sober, his Spirit Body Enhancement had already faded away, but his powerful body let him to already shrug off the pain,

  “Who says I don’t have fighting strength, even if I rely on muscle strength I can still crush this punk.”

  Mad Xi’s anger hadn’t at all drained away along with his spirit power, he had never been as angry as today, his valiant strength unexpectedly hadn’t been able to display a bit of its effect under Tang San’s Spider Web Restraint, putting him at a severe disadvantage. Without speaking further, he immediately dashed towards Tang San.

  The spider woman Spirit Master didn’t block Mad Xi, she clearly understood that with Mad Xi’s strength, even if he didn’t have the support of spirit power, just relying on physical strength alone he was able to move a healthy bull.

  The reason she was able to maintain consciousness under the Fanaticism condition was because of the side effect that thousand year spirit ring produced. Besides intense toxicity and supple toughness, her thousand year spirit ring was also able to weaken negative effects by fifty percent.

  In other words, while she got Fanaticism’s full effect, she only had to endure half of the negative side effects.

  As a result she was able to as much as possible maintain a clear head, and the drain only took away half her spirit power.

  After the consumption of the previous battle and the drain after Fanaticism, right now the spirit power she had left only amounted to thirty percent.

  Seeing Mad Xi charge at him, Tang San didn’t again use Blue Silver Grass, he had to preserve his spirit power to confront that strongest spider woman Spirit Master on the other side. Having lost his spirit power Mad Xi was like a toothless tiger. Dealing with this kind of opponent, who would still need the assistance of his spirit power?

  Watching Mad Xi spread his arms wide as he charged, Tang San rather than retreating advanced, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he went to meet him light as a feather.

  Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track moved Tang San erratically, and although he seemed to charge straight ahead, Mad Xi couldn’t catch his true form.

  Ducking slightly, Tang San already passed close to Mad Xi’s body. Left foot deftly stepping under Mad Xi’s feet, left arm rising horizontally, elbow thumping into Mad Xi’s back.

  Although Tang San didn’t appear as robust as Mad Xi, their strength wasn’t far apart.

  Working as a smith from childhood, along with the body strengthening training this time, gave him an extremely powerful physique. Mad Xi’s feet were tangled by Tang San, only feeling a force at his back, he was already sent tumbling.

  But at this time, the spider woman Spirit Master finally acted, since she didn’t have enough power for her third spirit ring’s ability it had already faded away, but countless spider threads in her palm took advantage of Tang San throwing Mad Xi, in a moment covering his front, enveloping the space Tang San could use to dodge.

  Tang San frowned minutely,

  “You’re still not giving up?”

  This time, he didn’t dodge at all, rather letting the spider woman Spirit Master’s spider silk twine around his body. In practically just a moment’s work, he was already tied up like a dumpling, his whole body covered in a layer of pink spider silk.

  The spider woman Spirit Master was exalted, loudly shouting:

  “Quick, throw him off the ring, it’s our win!”

  However, she very quickly discovered her mistake, as none of her teammates responded to her words. Looking to the side, she discovered to her shock that those teammates without spirit power were already tightly bound by blue purple Blue Silver Grass. Without the spirit power to resist the paralysis poison, one by one they had already even lost the ability to speak.

  The spider woman Spirit Master suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, a kind of vague premonition welling up, immediately afterward, without waiting for her to pull the wrapped up Tang San off the ring, an incomparably powerful pressure abruptly released from Tang San.

  That wasn’t the pressure of spirit power, rather a special atmosphere, but to her, this rising atmosphere was still incomparably dominant.

  In a strange scene, the spider silk over Tang San, starting on his back, suddenly flowing like melting ice and snow, all the spider silk frenziedly gathered on his back, as if it already no longer was a material substance, but more like a kind of energy.

  In just a few eyeblinks, the spider silk on Tang San had already disappeared. The spider woman Spirit Master discovered to her shock that he was lookin
g at her with a monstrous gaze.

  The spider silk’s starting point was the spider woman Spirit Master’s hands, and after the spider silk over Tang San was completely absorbed at his back, following the spider silk’s extension, a strong force abruptly pulled the spider woman Spirit Master swiftly towards Tang San, and by the time she could react she was already before him.

  The spider woman Spirit Master wanted to resist, but that stifling pressure made her unable to even move.

  The spider woman spirit master didn’t see it, but the audience behind Tang San could clearly see that the clothes on Tang San’s back were gone, and eight dark purple shining lumps were rising from his back. It was there that those spider threads were broken up and absorbed.

  Raising his right hand, Tang San grasped the spider woman Spirit Master’s neck, blocking the spider woman Spirit Master from using her strength to strike at his body.

  Right now in Tang San’s purple eyes flickered a demonic light. As he turned his head to look at the clamoring audience, each spectator that saw the light in his eyes couldn’t stop from lowering their heads, their bodies shivering, that was how sinister his atmosphere was!

  Tang San’s left hand’s forefinger rose to the lips of his mask, making a silencing motion towards the audience.

  The battle situation already couldn’t change. Apart from the spider woman Spirit Master, including the thrown out by Tang San Mad Xi, even that already unconscious auxiliary system Spirit Master, all were already covered in Blue Silver Grass, and the spider woman Spirit Master had her neck squeezed by Tang San, this spirit fight had now ended.

  The eight lumps of purple black light at Tang San’s back quietly disappeared, the gathered up spider silk destroyed. That pressure stifling the spider woman Spirit Master also faded away.
