Douluo Dalu - Volume 01-48

by Tang Jia San Shao

  Faint light flickering, Tang San’s face revealed a tyrannical expression, deep blue rays of light bursting from his fist in a flash.

  Being thrown by Xiao Wu, Dai Weisi was completely unable to control his body, and three of his companions had to join hands to catch him; but at this moment, time seemed to slow by half.

  Hong—— Chi——

  Along with a bizarre sound, a circle of deep blue hazy light quietly spread with the Star Luo Academy team at its center. The moment that hazy blue light had spread to its limit, suddenly, countless strands of Blue Silver Grass broke through the ground and shot up within the range of that hazy light, completely pushing all the Star Luo Academy team members into the air.

  Before this critical moment, the Star Luo team’s members only had time to release their protective spirit abilities. Right now, of the seven, only Zhu Zhuyun was slightly separated from the team; the other six were practically all together.

  The defense protected them, but, the Blue Silver Grass that stabbed them into the air seemed to have a peculiar stunning effect. The seven Star Luo Academy team members all sunk into a brief period of dizziness.

  Thousand Hands Asura Tang San, fourth spirit ability, Blue Silver Prison variant ability, Blue Silver Thrust, launched.

  This was the result of Tang San’s focused research. When Blue Silver Prison was used in live combat, it was Blue Silver Grass suddenly erupting from the ground, trapping the opponent within a cage. Since it was like this, what would the effect be if his entire spirit power was completely released on the Blue Silver Grass bursting from the ground?

  This made the Blue Silver Grass of the Blue Silver Prison extremely hard. If the opponent was a bit weak, he would be directly pierced through. It was also impossible for stronger opponents to escape this kind of area attack.

  Through experimentation, Tang San discovered that when his spirit power was condensed to a certain degree, Blue Silver Thrust could cause a brief stunning effect. The duration of this effect depended on the opponent’s strength.

  However, even more powerful opponents would still be stunned for at least a second.

  This discovery made Tang San expend a lot of effort to study this spirit ability. After all, it was a ten thousand year spirit ring’s ability, how could it be so simple? Blue Silver Prison itself had a stun effect, but it required the opponent to break open the cage to take effect; even so, the effect was exceptionally faint. When large numbers of Blue Silver Prisons erupted densely, the stun effects overlaid, immediately becoming clear.

  At present, Tang San’s research into this spirit ability still wasn’t completely mature, but he still had some certainty of restraining his opponents.

  In order to strengthen the effect of the spirit ability, Tang San had, from the start, used Ning Rongrong’s spirit power amplification and the attribute boost from Oscar’s stimulating pink sausage. Like this, the effect of his Blue Silver Thrust reached its maximum level the first time it was used on the battlefield.

  Even an opponent like Dai Weisi with much higher spirit power than him, would be stunned for more than three seconds right now. Moreover, even though all the opponents had blocked Blue Silver Thrust’s attack, they were still injured.

  Seven Devil Riot had begun the instant Tang San swung his fist.

  Bathing Fire Phoenix, Phoenix Ascension, two great spirit abilities simultaneously flashed from Ma Hongjun, this was his moment to shine.

  The fat body was covered with flame and soared up, leaving behind a trail of distorted light.

  Blue Silver Thrust disappeared the moment Ma Hongjun was about to land, and the place Ma Hongjun had picked was just perfect, just at the center of where Dai Weisi’s six people were gathered. Evil Fire Phoenix’ fourth spirit ability, Phoenix Cry Sky Strike, launched.

  With a distorted explosive sound, the terrifying effect of the follow-up restraining ability erupted.

  It was very difficult for the follow-up restraining ability to take effect, because of the small range necessitating proximity, generally speaking, it was very easy for the opponent to dodge.

  But when truly hit by it, the duration of the follow-up restraining effect would be a lot longer than the initial restraint.

  Unleashing the first part of Phoenix Cry Sky Strike made the almost sober Dai Weisi and the others instantly sink even deeper into dizziness.

  Immediately afterward, the ground and the air erupted practically simultaneously.

  White Tiger Meteor Shower rained from the sky, Phoenix Cry Sky Strike’s second part surged from the ground. The two great fourth spirit abilities simultaneously enveloped the six within their attack range.

  Yellow green light dispersed from Tang San’s palm. Due to the support of Ning Rongrong’s spirit power amplification, even after the enormous spirit power consumption of Blue Silver Thrust, he still had an abundant reserve. Ma Hongjun’s follow-up restraint encompassed all but one person, and this person was naturally left for Tang San.

  Spiderweb Restraint twisted around Zhu Zhuyun’s body the instant before she recovered from the stun, basically leaving her without the opportunity to save her comrades.

  Within the tremendous explosive rumble, miserable shrieks echoed from the location blasted by White Tiger Meteor Shower and Phoenix Cry Sky Strike simultaneously.

  In terms of burst power, what could be more powerful than the combined attacks of Phoenix and White Tiger?

  However, all this still wasn’t over.

  White Tiger leapt up, flickering with golden light, fusing together with that faintly black lit Civet in midair. The enormous Hell White Tiger once again appeared in front of everyone, and right now, the other two capable of using the same spirit fusion ability were trapped in different restraints.

  The violent pain made Dai Weisi sober from the dizziness, but he discovered with overwhelming shock that his White Tiger Vajra Transformation had already consumed a frightening degree of his spirit power, and two of the companions beside him had already lost consciousness.

  Consecutively erupting several major spirit abilities had already completely overdrawn Dai Mubai’s spirit power, but he and Zhu Zhuqing were still determined to use the Hell White Tiger. In this final moment, his and Zhu Zhuqing’s full potential erupted completely. The emotions suppressed for several years finally released. The enormous Hell White Tiger advanced with world dominating strides, becoming a flowing and enormous surge of light in the air.

  Grandmaster had also heard Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing’s story. Before going up, he had given the Shrek Seven Devils some simple directions.

  The Grandmaster of a generation, Yu Xiao Gang had not only researched spirits, but was still a Grandmaster in Spirit Master tactics. He saw the opponents’ biggest weakness with a glance.

  Underestimating the enemy.

  At least, to the teams advancing from Star Luo Empire, it seemed that the reason Shrek Academy could advance to the third round was mostly related to their luck with the draw. From Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing’s descriptions, he immediately judged that it would be even easier for Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun to have an attitude of underestimating the enemy.

  It was just because of this that Grandmaster told Tang San to go all out, showing no quarter. His directions to the Shrek Seven Devils was to erupt instantly, destroying the enemy.

  Part 2 (TL by Bagelson)

  Grandmaster’s directions naturally had a purpose. If they let the opponents completely unleash their strength, then even if the Shrek Seven Devils could obtain the ultimate victory in the match, it would be a pyrrhic one.

  At least the spirit fusion ability of the high spirit power Spirit Masters Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun could inflict heavy casualties on the Shrek Seven Devils.

  While underestimating their enemy, the opponents certainly wouldn’t reveal all their trumps from the start, but the Shrek Seven Devils did.

  From Tang San’s amplified fourth spirit ability Blue Silver Thrust, to the twin slaughter by Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, and a
gain to this final Hell White Tiger attack.

  The Shrek Seven Devils undoubtedly revealed the peak of their strength.

  With the simultaneous amplifying effects of Oscar and Ning Rongrong on their comrades, the burst strength at this moment made the entire audience change color.

  Hong—— Without the least suspense, the already heavily injured six members simultaneously flew out of the ring from the Hell White Tiger’s powerful strike. The Hell White Tiger turned a beautiful circle in midair.

  The final claw struck heavily on Dai Weisi. The sound of the bones of Dai Weisi’s shoulder shattering spread clearly to the entire audience. Before he even had time to scream in misery, he was already unconscious in midair.

  This was still Dai Mubai holding back. Otherwise, this one claw would have struck his chest, taking his life. No matter what was said, the opponent was still his big brother. The other side might not recognize this affection, but Dai Mubai had to inwardly admit to the blood relation.

  The enormous Hell White Tiger turned into two once again. Because of his overdrawn spirit power, Dai Mubai directly fell limply into Zhu Zhuqing’s arms.

  By no means should this brief encounter be underestimated. In this short period of time, both sides had exhausted frightening amounts of spirit power. Especially the Shrek Seven Devils had gone all out without holding anything in reserve, giving them this chance.

  With a ripping sound, Zhu Zhuyun finally threw off Tang San’s Spiderweb Restraint by relying on her sharp cat’s claws, but she was already completely dumbfounded.

  No matter the Shrek Seven Devils’ current condition, there were still seven of them standing in the ring right now. And of the entire Star Luo Imperial Academy team, only she alone remained.

  Zhu Zhuqing’s ice cold gaze observed her older sister. Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San slowly stepped up. They had all eaten one of Oscar’s recovery sausages each. And behind them was still the hazy light of Ning Rongrong pouring all her strength into spirit power amplification.

  Three against one, that was no contest. Especially in front of Tang San’s formidable control capability.

  However, Zhu Zhuyun was unresigned. Even now, in her heart, she still shouted that it was impossible. Had no matter what never imagined that she would actually lose to her still not fifteen years old little sister. Moreover losing so miserably. How could she be resigned to it? How could she want to concede?

  With a sharp whistle, bringing a mournful mood, she charged fiercely at the three. At this moment, she still left behind a series of phantom images.

  However, her forward charge hadn’t gotten five meters before she stopped. Blue Silver Grass quietly appeared from her body, Blue Silver Grass seeds having fallen on her as early as the Blue Silver Thrust. Thousand Hands Asura Tang San, second spirit ability, Parasite.

  The immense forward momentum turned Zhu Zhuyun’s body into a rolling bottle gourd. If not for her mood having suffered such immense agitation, perhaps she still wouldn’t have cut such a sorry figure now, but, right now her heart was in chaos.

  A flickering silhouette quietly appeared at her side, the paralysing and corroding toxins on the Blue Silver Grass already starting to invade her body.

  Xiao Wu bent directly, and in just a moment’s work, her Waist Bow displayed its effect, throwing Zhu Zhuyun’s agitating figure into the air.

  Tang San’s gaze turned to Zhu Zhuqing, revealing a trace of questioning. He was asking Zhu Zhuqing how to deal with this big sister of hers. At this moment, Zhu Zhuyun was already trussed for slaughter. Tang San wouldn’t hesitate even if Zhu Zhuqing wanted to kill her. There was nothing more important than the friendship of them Shrek Seven Devils.

  Secretly sighing, Zhu Zhuqing still shook her head. Hanging her head and pulling Dai Mubai into her embrace, two sparkling and translucent teardrops unconsciously flowed from the corners of her eyes.

  The victory had come so quickly after so many years of hope and expectations, even she herself didn’t know whether to express happiness or sadness right now. No matter what was said, that was after all her big sister!

  Tang San helplessly shook his head, gesturing to Xiao Wu.

  Xiao Wu soared up, her feet tangling around Zhu Zhuyun’s feet, Waist Bow launching once again, directly throwing her body out of bounds.

  The match ended in absolute silence. The Shrek Seven Devils all stood on the stage, slowly gathering together. Even the disoriented Dai Mubai was supported by Zhu Zhuqing to keep a straight back. Yes, they had won, they had obtained true victory. They had used one complete victory to declare the arrival of kings. Without one person suffering serious injuries, the Shrek Team had kicked out one of the three great seeds, the Star Luo Imperial Advanced Spirit Master Academy.

  As the referee declared the victory, the Shrek Academy resting area was already cheering. Even Grandmaster’s face revealed a gratified smile. Even the best tactics had to be implemented by people. Without these prodigious children, how could his tactics have been displayed so perfectly?

  Walking off the stage, Dai Mubai was immediately caught by Flender, Jiang Zhu’s healing rings of light spread, helping everyone recover their strength and treating their injuries. Oscar made his big recovery sausages with a big smile across his whole face. The complete Spirit Ancestor strength now attracted the gazes of all the combatants. Even the Spirit Hall bishops were no exception.

  A party of people walking past Shrek Academy’s side suddenly halted. Tang San sensed a gaze on him, and raised his head to look.

  This group was precisely the representative seed team of Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team, and the one looking at him was the team captain, with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit, Yu Tian-Heng.

  “I didn’t expect you to already have become so powerful. I truly am astonished.”

  Yu Tian-Heng watched Tang San with a burning gaze.

  Tang San smiled calmly, saying:

  “You’re also pretty good. It seems you’ve all made great progress.”

  Yu Tian-Heng sighed,

  “Originally I planned to have a proper fight with you in this tournament, but now it seems we won’t have the chance. Only, remember to avenge us. It seems to me that if there was any team that could threaten the Spirit Hall Academy team, then it wouldn’t be us or Star Luo Imperial Academy, but rather you. Watch our next match closely. Even if we lose, we will still make them reveal as much of their strength as possible.”

  Tang San looked somewhat distracted. In his impression, Yu Tian-Heng was a person who would never admit defeat. At the same time he also saw that Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team’s strength was a bit lacking compared to the Star Luo Imperial Academy team from before, only five or so of them having truly reached the fortieth rank.

  Being completely suppressed in strength, made Yu Tian-heng lose confidence. The next confrontation between two great seeds was actually already without any suspense.

  Spirit Hall, were they truly so formidable? Brilliant light suddenly flashed from Tang San’s eyes,

  “Yu Tian-Heng, don’t let me look down on you. Without trying, how would you know it’s impossible? As captain, if you lost your confidence, then, in this lifetime, you will never be suited to be my opponent.”

  “What did you say?”

  To the side, Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit Master Dugu Yan’s anger reached the heavens, but she was stopped by Yu Tian-Heng.

  A faint flame began to spread in Yi Tian-Heng’s eyes, he was completely aflame from Tang San’s words. Fixing his eyes on Tang San, he raised his right hand and swung it forcefully,

  “Wait and see. I’ll let them learn about trouble.”

  The most attention-grabbing match finally began. As two of the three great seeded teams, when Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team and Spirit Hall Academy team took the stage, the entire audience quieted down.

  The previous match had already shocked them too much, and the next fight should be even more marvellous.

  In the secon
d round match, the seven members the Spirit Hall Academy team sent up lacked those three people who had obtained the Purple Record Medal, and they had still won easily.

  But confronting the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy team was clearly different.

  Among the Spirit Hall Academy team were also three new faces.

  These three unhurriedly walked furthest ahead of the Spirit Hall Academy team. Even though their appearance would seem very common, and their mood also very tranquil, the feeling they gave people was like three wolves poised to spring.

  The three oozed with imposing manner and confidence. Tang San saw that only experiencing countless victories, defeating countless opponents, would instill this kind of mental superiority.

  The Spirit Hall Academy team uniform was white, spotless white all over, embroidered with the six emblematic designs of Spirit Hall. The three people walking in front all wore a purple book shaped badge on the left sides of their chests. That was their honorary emblem.

  The one walking furthest ahead was a man, his height approximately over one meter ninety, short neat black hair standing erect like steel needles, his expression very serene, his entire body seeming to burst with intangible conviction.

  Slender forceful hands hung at his sides, watching Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master Yu Tian-Heng across from him with an indifferent gaze.

  Part 3 (TL by Bagelson)

  Compared to him, Yu Tian-Heng’s mood was clearly somewhat excited. Provoked by Tang San’s words, by now Yu Tian-Heng’s mood was already thoroughly agitated.

  On either side of that short-haired man were one man and one woman. That man had a head of fiery red long hair, draped over his shoulders and back. Even his eyes were deep red. He was equally plain, but just like that previous short-haired youth, he exuded that intangible temperament.

  The only woman among them had long black hair, her appearance somewhat resembling the man furthest in front. The expressions of the three were all like cast from the same mold. This girl wasn’t particularly beautiful at first glance, but of one observed carefully, one could sense a kind of peculiar charm from her.
