Douluo Dalu - Volume 01-48

by Tang Jia San Shao

  Tang San’s eyes displayed a deeply pondering light,

  “Aunt, you’re telling me that my matter of recognizing my ancestors and clan will be obstructed by the sect elders?”

  Tang Yue-Hua nodded,

  “Just so. I fear tomorrow’s business won’t go over too smoothly. Even if your father has returned the two spirit bones, I’m afraid it will still be very difficult for them to forgive him. Second brother also separated himself from the sect, drawing a clear line. I’m afraid they won’t easily allow you to recognize your ancestors and sect.”

  Tang San’s brows wrinkled,

  “If the elders don’t consent, what will the result be?”

  Tang Yue-Hua’s face turned gloomy,

  “In the worst case, you’ll be expelled from the sect, your spirit crippled. Even so much that they would use you as bait to find your father, investigating his guilt from back then. Of course, this is practically impossible, big brother is after all the sect master, and the elders will still give him some face. If I don’t guess too much, the elders will compromise in the end, driving you away from the sect, not recognizing you as a child of the Clear Sky School.”

  Tang San looked at Tang Yue-Hua and said:

  “Then what should I do? Since you agreed to let me return, you should already have thought of a countermeasure.”

  Tang Yye-Hua nodded,

  “Even though the elders are outdated, they always attach most importance to the sect. In order to gain their recognition, you must first do as your uncle said, prove your own strength in front of them. Use strength to conquer them. Afterwards make some contributions to the sect. Like that they’ll be unable to oppose you recognizing your ancestors and clan. The reason your uncle’s hint was ‘unyielding’ was in order to tell you that in our Clear Sky School, the strong eat the soft. Originally your uncle and your dad’s position in the strength was completely gained by fighting. Whoever refused got a beating, that’s how they established their authority. When your uncle returned to the sect to take over as sect master, the elders also called him into question, since he was always together with your father. Your uncle relied on his strength to defeat all the elders, thereby gaining their approval, becoming the new generation’s Clear Sky School sect master. Therefore, the process of your recognizing your ancestors and sect tomorrow won’t be effortless, there’s no harm in being a bit unyielding, use strength to prove you have the capability to help return the sect to its glory.”

  Tang San nodded slowly,

  “Aunt, I understand.”

  Tang Yue-Hua stood up, touching Tang San’s head,

  “Then rest well. Preserve and nurture your spirit. I still have some matters to prepare. The sect general assembly will begin tomorrow morning, aunt will watch your performance then.”

  Finished saying this, Tang Yue-Hua told Tang San that someone would specially deliver his meal, letting him rest properly.

  With Tang Yue-Hua gone, Tang San sat crosslegged on his bed, recalling his return to the sect today. His uncle and aunt were clearly partial to his father’s side. He had seen that when uncle mentioned his father he was always constraining his emotions, and as he said he looked like his mother, his eyes revealed a gentleness that couldn’t be concealed. Apparently, even though his father suffered, he was at least together with his mother. Even though his uncle had become the sect master, the suffering he bore wasn’t any less than his father’s.

  Whether he could smoothly accomplish his father’s wishes, would perhaps have to be seen tomorrow.

  Thinking thus, Tang San drew a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, entering a cultivating state. Even though his improvement speed had slowed somewhat in his year at the Moon Pavilion, he had had instead mastered the subjects of his study. Especially after now having completely connected all eight extraordinary meridians, even though his overall strength hadn’t improved much, his inner strength was like a great river, deep and unending, far from something opponents of the same level could compare to.

  In the evening.

  Soft knocks echoed from the door.

  Tang San slowly opened his eyes,

  “Please come in.”

  The door opened, and first to stretch inside was a head. That was a young lady, her hair combed into two adorable little pigtails, appearing around thirteen or fourteen years old.

  “Are you uncle San?”

  The sharp and clear voice was very pleasant, a pair of spirited big eyes looked curiously at Tang San.

  Tang San smiled slightly,

  “Who are you? Come in.”

  The young girl pushed open the door, holding a box of food,

  “You still haven’t told me if you’re uncle San.”

  Tang San smiled:

  “If you’re bringing food for Tang San, then that’s right. It’s me.”

  The young girl giggled, big eyes curiously studying Tang San,

  “Uncle San, you really look pretty. Much better looking than my dad.”

  Tang San stared blankly a moment,

  “Who’s your dad?”

  The young girl said:

  “My dad’s called Tang Hu[6], he’s the third generation chief.”

  Tang San puzzled said:

  “Isn’t the third generation chief big brother Tang Long?”

  The young girl shook her head, saying:

  “The third generation chief is my dad, not uncle Tang Long. Dad always say that uncle Tang Long can’t beat him. Losing to uncle Tang Long last time was just bad luck.”

  While speaking, she placed the food on a table next to Tang San’s bed, her big eyes looking somewhat resentfully at Tang San.

  Tang San smiled wider, saying:

  “Over time, luck is also a part of strength. I still don’t know your name.”

  The young girl said:

  “I’m called Tang Tiantian[7]. Uncle San, you can call me Tiantian.”

  Tang San smiled:

  “Alright, thank you, Tiantian.”

  Looking at this cleareyed pure little lady in front of him, Tang San couldn’t help recalling when he was her age. At that time, he had already met Xiao Wu, met the other Shrek Seven Devils. Everyone were putting all their effort into cultivating together.

  Tiantian smiled at Tang San,

  “Uncle San, then I’ll leave. Goodbye. Your smile is really pretty.”

  Finished speaking, the young girl ran out, bouncing and vivacious.

  The meal was very simple, one dish of beef, four steamed rolls, one stir fried cabbage, as well as a big bowl of egg soup. Tang San ate with good appetite, this was his first meal back at the sect. No matter what was said, this place was also considered his home in this world.

  After an uneventful night, early the next morning, Tang San customarily got up at dawn and stepped outside.

  (唐家三少)

  Story Description:

  Tang Sect, the most famous martial arts sect of all. By stealing its most secret teachings to fulfill his dreams, Tang San committed an unforgivable crime. With his ambition attained, he hands his legacy to the sect and throws himself from the fearsome "Hell's Peak."

  But he could have never imagined that this would reincarnate him in another world, one without magic, martial arts, and grud
ges. A land where only the mystical souls of battle lay.

  The continent of Douluo.

  How will Tang San survive in this unknown environment? With a new road to follow, a new legend begins...

  Just as he stepped out the door, a damp mist hit him head on. The mountaintop was extremely humid, and the fog was even denser in early morning. If it was an ordinary person’s eyesight, he could only have seen five meters or so.

  Even if Tang San wasn’t greatly influenced by it, he was clearly unable to cultivate Purple Demon Eye. It seemed that if he were to stay here long, he would have to find a suitable place to cultivate.

  The air was somewhat cold, and in just a moment outside, Tang San’s clothes were damp, leaving him no choice but to return to his room. Just as he hesitated over whether to cultivate a while longer, a pounding noise echoed at the door.

  “Tang San, you up?”

  The voice belonged to Tang Long.

  “I’m up.”

  Tang San hastily stepped forward to open the door, finding Tang Long carrying food boxes inside. Compared to Tang Tiantian’s delivery yesterday, he clearly brought a lot more food.

  “Come, we’ll eat breakfast together.”

  Tang Long also didn’t stand on ceremony, placing the food boxes on the table and opening them. Inside was a tray of steamed buns, a pot of hot congee, as well as a few eggs and salted vegetables.

  “You might be busy today. Eat a bit.”

  “Many thanks.”

  Tang San didn’t stand on ceremony. He was just at an age where he could eat, and the two brothers ate heartily, finishing all the food in moments.

  “Tang San, I’m afraid today will be troublesome for you. I heard the other brothers say that the elders are paying particular attention to your return, and are moreover very angry. The sect master had me tell you to be careful in everything. You can decline others’ challenges when necessary.”

  Could he really decline? If he did, perhaps he truly would be unable to do anything for the sect. Tang San secretly sighed,

  “Many thanks, big brother.”

  Tang Long didn’t leave even after breakfast was done, all along waiting until the sun hung high enough to break up the mist, then led Tang San outside, directly to the Clear Sky School’s front courtyard.

  Clear Sky School. Front courtyard.

  Completely different from the quiet when Tang San arrived yesterday, right now at least a hundred fifty people were gathered in the courtyard. The majority stood in a ring, while sect master Tang Xiao and five old and white haired elders stood in the center of the courtyard.

  These five elders all seemed to be at least eighty years old, but each had a lively spirit, red luster across their whole faces. One elder among them was speaking to Tang Xiao about something with a stern expression.

  Tang Long spoke in a low voice:

  “Besides the people outside for procuring things and handling business, the sect’s directly related disciples are all here. Those five in the center are the sect’s five first generation elders. Even the sect master has to deal with them. In terms of seniority, they’re all the sect master’s uncles.”

  Accompanied by Tang Long, Tang San arrived in the courtyard. The incense burner Tang San had originally predicted would be here didn’t appear. Tang Yue-Hua stood behind Tang Xiao, her expression extremely unsightly. Tang San and Tang long’s appearance immediately became the focal point of everyone.

  At this point, someone unknown shouted,

  “Tang Hao family trash, get out of Clear Sky. You’re not welcome here.”

  Along with this provocation, a new few of the sect youths immediately shouted back, and for a moment the courtyard became disorderly.

  Tang San’s eyes narrowed slightly. Just as Tang Xiao was about to shout for order, suddenly, a faint white light spread from Tang San, instantly becoming colorless.

  Right now was the middle of the day. The mountaintop was undoubtedly very cold without the sunshine, but it was also the place closest to the sun. As the sunshine sprinkled down, the temperature would also be much higher than on level ground. The vicious sunshine would even cause sunburns.

  But right now, in the instant the white light spread from Tang San, the Clear Sky School’s disciples all had a feeling as if they’d fallen into an ice cellar. The ice cold thick killing intent spread to every corner of the front courtyard.

  The numerous disorderly voices screeched to a sudden halt as if cut off with a sharp blade. Who could have thought that the previously quiet and contented, gracefully calm Tang San, would actually be able to release this kind of almost substantial tyrannical killing intent.

  With a sweep of his gaze, Tang San almost instantly found that sect disciple who rushed to speak up first. That was a youth roughly the same age as him. Relying on his technique for locating sounds as well as his potent spiritual force, he directly locked him down.

  And this moment the rich killing intent distributed into the surrounding air suddenly condensed, gathering entirely on this person.

  The killing intent that had turned colorless from scattering once again appeared white, Like it was a bridge connecting Tang San to that youth. A faint blood red flashed in Tang San’s deep blue eyes. This moment, Tang Yue-Hua seemed to recognize that Tang San that had first come to the Moon Pavilion.

  That moment the slightly more than twenty year old youth found himself in the condensed Deathgod Domain, his expression immediately turned miserable. The heavy chill seeped directly into his skin. To his eyes, Tang San seemed to have become a bloodthirsty devil.

  However, he was also worthy of being called a Clear Sky School disciple. Even though he was young, his cultivation wasn’t shallow.

  With a loud shout, black light surged in his right hand, a one meter long Clear Sky Hammer abruptly emerging. Two yellow and two purple, four spirit rings were released. Relying on his spirit’s formidable imposing manner, he managed with difficulty to stabilize his swaying heart.

  This was still the Clear Sky Hammer. If he had an inferior spirit, under the combined assault of Tang San’s Deathgod Domain and spiritual force, perhaps he would already have collapsed.

  Tang Xiao shouted:

  “Tang San, don’t be impudent in front of the elders.”

  Tang San also didn’t plan to really do anything. The white light vanishing, he once again turned to Tang Xiao as if he had never done anything, bowing and saluting,

  “My respects to sect master, my respects to elders.”

  The five elders naturally also felt the tyrannical killing intent Tang San had released, and they couldn’t keep their faces from changing. One elder with long white eyebrows said in a low voice:

  “Deathgod Domain.”

  Tang San didn’t conceal it,

  “Exactly.”

  Another slim elder gave a cold laugh,

  “You’ve actually inherited the talent of that disaster Tang Hao, but so what? If the sect had another Tang Hao, perhaps we would be destroyed. You, a third generation disciple, still doesn’t kneel when meeting us?”

  Tang San hesitated a moment, but still kneeled. Not only because they were his elders, but even more because of what his father owed the sect.

  “Tang San hopes for forgiveness for his father, to help restore the greatness of the sect. Sect master and elders, please allow me to recognize my ancestors and clan.”

  The slim elder furiously said:

  “Bullshit, in view of your father’s conduct and deeds, don’t think about returning to the sect. You’re the son born from him and that evil spirit beast creature, just a bastard. Even if the Clear Sky School’s gates are sealed, we still won’t let a bastard return to the sect.”

  “Seventh junior, pay attention to propriety when you speak, there are a lot of juniors watching.”

  The long-eyebrowe
d elder frowned, speaking somewhat dissatisfied.

  Hearing the word ‘bastard’. Tang San’s expression suddenly became calm. Still kneeling, he slowly raised his head, looking at the slim elder.

  “Who did you say is a bastard?”

  Even though he didn’t release the Deathgod Domain, the chill he emanated right now was even colder than before.

  Tang Xiao didn’t block Tang San from questioning the slim elder, right now he was also so furious his face was grey.

  “You, little bastard.”

  The slim elder hardly concealed the fury in his expression, already trembling somewhat in agitation,

  “If not for that animal Tang Hao involving the sect, my eldest son wouldn’t have been ambushed and killed by Spirit Hall while getting supplies for the sect.”

  “Enough. Seventh elder, if you don’t control yourself you can leave.”

  The long-eyebrowed elder clearly held the most respected position among the five elders. Hearing that slim elder hurling abuse without listening to excuses and without the least elegance, he was also somewhat angry.
