Douluo Dalu - Volume 01-48

by Tang Jia San Shao

  In midair, he spun like a purple fierce tiger. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand swinging like lightning. It was the Clear Sky School’s secret skill, Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method.

  The best way to stop the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method was to never let him use it. Both Tang San’s arms were raised simultaneously. His left arm of course had no use in releasing his fifth spirit ability, but was waiting for this moment.

  He originally never trusted the fourth spirit ability Blue Silver Prison to completely trap Tang Hu.

  Even if this fourth spirit ability of his also was a ten thousand year level, Tang Hu was after all a Clear Sky School disciple with formidable strength. He was above him in both spirit power and spirit abilities.

  Blue light shot out of his left hand. After the blue light left his palm, it swiftly turned a sparkling and translucent green, glittering alternately blue and green. It flew straight at Tang Hu using Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, his violent spirit power fluctuations even allowing him to temporarily float in the air.

  In the air, Tang Hu couldn’t help inwardly sneering, secretly thinking, ‘You really haven’t grown up in the sect, don’t even know about the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer method. Using this kind of frontal spirit ability against me at this moment, don’t tell me it can break through the tremendous spirit power released by my Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method? If I can complete more than half my hammer method, it will be the moment of your defeat.’ The opportunities to make this kind of display in front of the elders were rare, right now clearly was a good chance.

  Unfortunately, he had no idea how laboriously Tang San had worked on the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method.

  As the once most outstanding disciple of the sect, how could Tang Hao not know the importance of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method to the Clear Sky Hammer? Under Tang Hao’s directions, Tang San’s Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method wasn’t any worse than his peer disciples.

  As a control system Spirit Master, his greatest characteristic was control.

  By now, Tang San was no longer simply controlling his own spirit abilities, he even controlled the spirit abilities of his opponents.

  Including Tang Hu using the fifth spirit ability to break open the Blue Silver Prison, as well as the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method he used now, everything advanced practically according to the script Tang San had made.

  A flash of blue light. Fully using the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, Tang Hu suddenly felt his whole body tighten. Immediately afterward, sharp pain spread across his whole body, especially his arms ached as if being torn apart.

  Blue Silver Emperor’s second spirit ability, Parasite, launched.

  Along with the release of the Blue Silver Prison, Tang San’s second spirit ability, Parasite, had already taken effect on Tang Hu’s body. Parasite was in itself only a reinforced version of the first spirit ability, Binding, and Binding’s capability wasn’t any more powerful than first spirit abilities, but its victory lay in its suddenness. Under Tang San’s control, as long as the opponent’s body was seeded with Blue Silver Grass seeds, Parasite could be launched at any time.

  The instantly bound by Blue Silver Grass Tang Hu basically hadn’t expected Tang San to use this kind of ability, and both his arms were still swinging the Clear Sky Hammer in the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method.

  His body was suddenly bound, but dictated by inertia, he still moved forcefully. The slender but incomparably tenacious Blue Silver Grass immediately cut into his skin. This was the source of the pain.

  Tang Hu reacted very quickly, swiftly spinning in the air, the stored power of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method turning into torque for his body. Otherwise, the Blue Silver Emperor binding his body would perhaps be shattered, but his body would also be shredded by the released force.

  The feeling of misusing force made Tang Hu unable to keep from spouting out a mouthful of blood, with great difficulty dissolving the previously accumulated force of his Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method.

  But both his arms were already dripping with blood, several dozen wounds cut open by the Blue Silver Emperor.

  Even though the Blue Silver Emperor’s exposed thorns couldn’t pierce the toughness of his skin so easily, the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method’s force really was too great. Even though the violent chafing left the Blue Silver Emperor Binding on the verge of collapse, it also pierced his skin.

  Neurological toxin invaded, making Tang Hu unable to keep his entire body from spasming.

  Parasite was an unremarkable spirit ability, but this spirit ability was still the nemesis of the Clear Sky School’s created secret skill, Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method.

  Hong——

  The Blue Silver Emperor shattered once again. Tang Hu’s fifth spirit ability, Man And Hammer Union, had already disappeared due to the interruption, but by now he was also moved to true anger.

  He originally hadn’t wanted to use his sixth spirit ability, after all, Tang San only had five spirit rings, so if he used the sixth spirit ability to win, how could he leave a deep impression on the elders?

  But constantly thwarted, always suppressed by Tang San, Tang Hu was finally unable to hold back.

  The black sixth spirit ring radiated splendor, the lines of light on the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand appearing again, only this time the pattern had already become piercingly silvery, with a lingering silver light.

  But before the sixth spirit ability of the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand had time to emerge, that unremarkable flying blue and green colored ball of light from before was already in front of him.

  It made no sound, but still spread like a flash of lightning.

  A more than ten meter in diameter enormous blue green spider web, covered in sticky liquid and with sparkling translucent blue, abruptly gathered together.

  This was the moment when Tang Hu had just thrown off the Blue Silver Emperor Parasite, his body falling, the gap while he prepared to set the sixth spirit ability in motion.

  Just as Tang Hu planned, if his Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method had continued, relying on the formidable spirit power of the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Method, this Spiderweb Restraint practically couldn’t even have gotten close to him.

  However, Tang San’s timing was just perfect, creating an opportunity for himself, simply letting his third spirit ability accurately take effect on Tang Hu.

  [1] 1000斤 = 500 kg

  [2] 2000斤 = 1000 kg

  Chapter 149: Fifth Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Overlord Spear

  Part 1 (TL by Bagelson)

  His body freezing in midair, the more than double strength Blue Silver Emperor Spiderweb Restraint tied Tang Hu up like a dumpling, simultaneously forcefully breaking up the sixth spirit ability he was preparing. The toxins on the spiderweb were already instantly invading Tang Hu through his wounds.

  This time it wasn’t only neurotoxin, but at the same time even more powerful stimulants. The pain instantly paralysed Tang Hu’s brain for a short moment. Even more terrifying, cold and hot poisons simultaneously invaded his body, starting to swiftly break down his energy channels.

  Being tied up by Spiderweb Restraint while wounded was undoubtedly Tang Hu’s greatest sorrow. He thought to use force, but discovered the amount of strength he could gather was constantly weakening, and the Blue Silver Emperor spiderweb twisted around him grew tighter and tighter.

  With a thump, Tang Hu fell to the ground. Even though he could still barely manage to make himself stand, his ability to resist was already becoming weaker and weaker along with the poison spreading.

  Tang San’s right hand flickering with golden light was aimed at Tang Hu, moving along with him changing position. Right now, the golden light on his arm had already extended to three meters, just like a brilliant lance of golden light. Without a doubt, this fifth spirit ability of his could completely impact Tang Hu.

  “Don’t hurt my dad!
”

  Just at this moment, a young and tender panicked voice echoed, a petite figure fiercely penetrating the crowd and swiftly running over in front of Tang Hu.

  Tang San was inwardly alarmed. Right now his fifth spirit ability was just carrying out sustained pressure to Tang Hu. Others didn’t feel it, but just the scattering pressure from the golden lance on his arm was enough to skewer an ordinary person.

  The person running out of the crowd was the young girl Tiantian who delivered food for Tang San last night. Seeing her about to run into the range of the golden lance, Tang San swiftly moved sideways, the lance on his hand pointing into the distance. The spirit power accumulated so far also fired now.

  A golden flash, instantly turning into a golden ray of light disappearing into the distance. The entire golden pike condensed from Blue Silver Emperor disappeared from sight with a distorted wave of light.

  While the opponent was restrained, Tang San also wasn’t planning on using his fifth spirit ability to ruin him. Otherwise he could have already released it when Tang Hu was trapped in the Spiderweb Restraint. That golden spear, brimming with a terrifying aura, was called Blue Silver Overlord Spear[1].

  As a spirit ability condensed voluntarily by blue silver grass, the Blue Silver King gave consideration to the deficiencies in Tang San’s abilities, and so assigned him this pure attack ability.

  The Blue Silver Overlord Spear’s attack power was extremely terrifying under the effect of the Blue Silver Domain, even to the extent that it was even above the full bombardment of the present spiritual force of Tang San’s Purple Demon Eye.

  Quiet. The Clear Sky School’s front courtyard fell into complete silence.

  Tang San and Tang Hu didn’t fight for long. From start to finish, it was actually only the release of a few spirit abilities. However, this time was enough to shock everyone present.

  Tang San, as a Spirit King, simply by relying on his five spirit abilities had made even Spirit Emperor Tang Hu unable to use his sixth spirit ability, thoroughly defeating him. Right now anyone could see that he didn’t have any ability to resist.

  Tang San was admittedly a control type Spirit Master, and in a one versus one situation, control type Spirit Masters held the advantage against power attack type Spirit Masters. But don’t forget that Tang Hu’s spirit was the Clear Sky Hammer. The sect spirit of the once number one sect under Heaven.

  And what Tang San used was only a spirit they had never heard of.

  The standard of defeating the strong from a position of weakness, and moreover doing it in a way that suppressed the opponent to the point of leaving them unable to even retaliate. Tang San had not only displayed his strength, but at the same time also his plentiful combat experience and extremely accurate calculation abilities.

  Tang San slowly walked forward, stepping in front of the young lady Tang Tiantian. Right now Tang Tiantian’s face was already covered with anger.

  “Uncle’s bad. Uncle hurt my dad.”

  Tang Tiantian’s eyes were brimming with hostility.

  Tang San secretly sighed. This child who had grown up in the sect really was different from how he was.

  Back when he met the other Shrek Seven Devils, besides Ning Rongrong who was somewhat juvenile, practically everyone had very mature ways of thinking at twelve or thirteen.

  “Tiantian, it’s your uncle’s fault. Will you step aside so uncle can treat your dad? If he’s treated to late, your dad will suffer.”

  “I don’t believe you.”

  Tang Tiantian spread her arms, still blocking in front of her father.

  “Tiantian, step aside.”

  Resisting the pain, Tang Hu gave a low shout. Even though he had lost the contest, what he could stand the least was being protected by his daughter. A magnificent power among the third generation disciples relying on his daughter for protection, with his extreme pride, how could he endure it?

  Tang Tiantian turned her head to look at her dad. Seeing her dad’s strict gaze, she then unwillingly stepped aside.

  Tang San waved his right hand, withdrawing his spiderweb. His gaze didn’t pause on Tang Hu for long. While withdrawing the Spiderweb Restraint, he relied on his unreasonable control capabilities to already absorb the toxin affecting Tang Hu.

  Turning to look at where the five elders stood, his gaze finally settled on the seventh elder.

  “I don’t know whether I can now issue a challenge to the seventh elder?”

  Just these words, but it was like a heavy palm slapping the seventh elder’s face. As an outsider, Tang San’s display was undoubtedly very powerful. Especially as his current strength left people unable to pick out any faults. His message was very clear, ‘I respect the sect elders, but you insulted my mother, which I cannot tolerate.’

  Since Tang San reached the front courtyard, up through his later contest with Tang Hu, he had displayed too many things. And each thing he displayed was something that the Clear Sky School elders couldn’t keep from changing expressions over.

  Deathgod Domain, Blue Silver Domain, twin spirits, ten thousand year level fourth spirit ability. With these things all concentrated on him, he seemed extraordinary.

  Twenty years old, fifty ninth ranked Spirit king, and still possessing all kinds of formidable abilities. Describing Tang San as a genius was clearly a bit miserly.

  Even though this couldn’t change the Clear Sky School elders’ opinion of Tang Hao, they had to admit that this youngster absolutely had the capital for arrogance.

  Of course, Tang San didn’t feel that his display was anything to be arrogant about, but in fact, as a genius of the young generation, the soul of the Shrek Seven Devils, having once lead them to the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament championship, he had long ago already accumulated the aura of a leader. That was an imperceptible influence from all kinds of experiences.

  The seventh elder slowly walked forward. Each of his steps was very firm. Even though the expression on his face was calm, one could clearly see that with each step, his feet would sink three cun into the ground[2].

  In fact, he stepped on solid rock. But each step left behind the same mark, even to the extent that the pattern on his soles was left behind.

  In purity of force, depth of spirit power, he proved he was a formidable Tang family elder.

  Tang San drew a deep breath, the Mysterious Heaven Skill inner strength circulating swiftly within him like a great river.

  He might have seemed to win the previous battle very easily, but in fact, whether it was the precise calculations or each spirit ability used, they both consumed a substantial amount of energy and inner strength. Tang Hu wasn’t easily dealt with. If he truly had let him employ his sixth spirit ability, Tang San would have had to display even more things. Tang Hu’s defeat was partly because he underestimated Tang San.

  Slowly walking up in front of Tang San, the seventh elder wasn’t arrogant any longer, indifferently saying:

  “I won’t take advantage of you. Regardless of what spirit abilities are used, I will only use thirty percent of my spirit power.”

  Tang San knew that even though this seventh elder was outwardly calm, he was extremely serious about this competition. Saying he would only use thirty percent spirit power was clearly a calculation that also included his previous consumption.

  “Use forty percent spirit power. My consumption might be less than you imagine, I will moreover use spirit bone abilities, I can’t take advantage of you.”

  He still had spirit bones? The eyes of the third generation were already wide. Was he really human?

  As directly related Clear Sky School disciples, they had seen a lot of powers, but it was still the first time seeing someone as special as Tang San.

  The seventh elder’s eyebrows twitched slightly,

  “No need, thirty percent is enough.”

  Tang San shook his head,

  “It would be better with forty percent. If you feel I’m taking advantage of you, then
let me pick the location of the battle, how about it?”

  The seventh elder’s brows wrinkled slightly,

  “Fine, you choose.”

  Being two generations his senior, even though he previously cursed Tang San, he really wanted to fight Tang San. Even if Tang San raised some excessive demands, he would still agree.

  Tang San had long ago already thought of the most suitable place his fight with this seventh elder.

  If it wasn’t on a mountain, he would definitely choose a forest. But the Clear Sky School’s location didn’t have many plants.

  Therefore, he could only make another choice.

  Raising his hand to point outside the sect, Tang San said:

  “On the iron cable bridge.”

  With these words, the first thing the Clear Sky School disciples felt was that he displayed strong confidence.

  They understood that the iron cable bridge Tang San pointed to should be the iron cable bridge connecting to the sect’s final peak, also the one that had broken just before.

  This iron cable bridge was not only suspended at high altitude, but moreover covered with a layer of cold frost due to the temperature and humidity. It was not only hard to use force on it, but very difficult to even stand firm.

  Part 2 (TL by Bagelson)

  The first thing to consider when using spirit abilities in a place like this wasn’t injuring the enemy, but rather one’s own safety. That Tang San chose this kind of battleground to challenge the seventh elder who was familiar with the iron cable bridge was clearly due to complete confidence in himself.

  If not for how he previously oppressively prevailed over Tang Hu, perhaps each person would feel he was arrogant. But now the seventh elder had already declared he would only use forty percent of his spirit power to fight him.

  In that case, nobody could tell for sure if he really had a chance.

  “Seventh elder, if this contest is my loss, I will immediately leave the Clear Sky School and never return. If you lose, I hope you can withdraw your previous slander of my mother, and simultaneously approve my recognizing my ancestors and clan, how about it?”
