by Tang Jia San Shao


  Purple Pearl stared blankly a moment, then entered a state of anger close to berserk,

  “Son of a bitch, are you dreaming? You want to catch me without using spirit abilities? Come on, I’ll bet with you. What are we betting?”

  Tang San said:

  “If I win, you will recognize me as your master, and listen to any of my orders. If I lose, you assign the punishment.”

  Purple Pearl sized up Tang San a few times. Being capable of becoming the ruler of a gang, she absolutely wasn’t an impulsive person. Even if her temper was a bit violent, at her core she was meticulous. But she wouldn’t believe that Tang San could catch her among an army of ten thousand without really using spirit abilities.

  “Fine, we’ll bet on it. If you lose, I won’t bother you. Drink two basins of my foot washing water, and crawl under my legs. Then I’ll let you go.”

  While speaking, she gracelessly raised her left leg, pointing underneath.

  Tang San’s expression didn’t change,

  “Wait until you defeat me.”

  Tang san flicked his wrist while speaking, already holding a stock of incense. Fingers twirling, the stick flew out, passing through a pirate’s torch, then travelling in an arc and lightly pinning onto the wall of a wooden house.

  This trick immediately awed the heartily laughing pirates. Letting a stick of incense ignite by passing through a fire wasn’t difficult, the difficult part lay in making it fly in an arc, and moreover making it stick on the wall with its weak body. What kind of clever soft force could achieve this?

  When Ji Xiang inside the house saw this move his eyes immediately brightened, vaguely already understanding what secret skill Tang San wanted to teach him.

  “The incense is already burning. Purple Pearl, I will begin.”

  Tang San wasn’t anxious to start, instead first warning Purple Pearl. This time he would convince her in heart and by word.

  Purple Pearl saw that calm gaze in Tang San’s eyes, without any emotion, and secretly shivered in her heart. At the same time as she released her spirit, she slid, slipping into the crowd. I can’t defeat you, but don’t tell me I can’t hide? Besides, you’re not using your spirit. If all I have to do is dodge and not get caught, then how will you make me recognize you as master? With such thoughts, the bet between Purple Pearl and Tang San officially began.

  Purple Pearl’s subordinates were all quite clever. Seeing the captain swiftly retreat, the pirates immediately formed a human wall. Tang San never said they couldn’t attack, so these pirates naturally didn’t hesitate to launch their own spirit abilities. Not looking for achievements, just avoiding mistakes. Each and every one naturally started their defensive abilities, hoping to block Tang San. Not attacking was the intelligent choice, because they didn’t want to infuriate Tang San. Even the captain couldn’t defeat this kid, let alone these universally twenty or thirty ranked spirit masters.

  Unfortunately, Tang San basically had no intention of relying on movement to catch Purple Pearl. Both his hands brushed the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist, a sparkling radiance already floating in the air. In the firelight, those crystalline lights immediately flew up, rushing into the pirate group with sharp whistling sounds.

  This was the Tang Sect hidden weapons technique Goddess Scattering Flowers.

  Goddess Scattering Flowers was in itself a fairly common technique among Tang Sect hidden weapons, but it was a foundation for a large number of hidden weapons techniques, like Tang Sect’s fourth ranked Thousand And One Nights, which was based on Goddess Scattering Flowers. Having been immersed in hidden weapons for so many years, Tang San was naturally so familiar with this Goddess Scattering Flowers technique that he couldn’t be more familiar. All the hidden weapons he threw were needle types, and each needle scattered as if it had grown eyes. In one move Tang San used no less than fifty silver needles.

  In practically the blink of an eye, the pirates in front of him collapsed like cut wheat. The collapsed pirates, without exception, were all Spirit Masters.

  Watching their comrades fall, the next line of pirates immediately looked distracted. They basically hadn’t even seen how Tang San did it. Immediately afterward, Tang San’s second wave of silver needles appeared.

  The forte of Tang Sect disciples was chaotic group fights, especially after reaching grandmaster level, as long as they had enough hidden weapons, they basically didn’t fear enemy numbers.

  These pirates had no mortal enmity, and even more wouldn’t go threaten everyone in the house, so Tang San would naturally hold back. At the same time as the second wave of silver needles shot out, he himself also floated forward, rushing among the pirates alone.

  Due to silver needles, large numbers of pirates fell to the ground. None of these collapsed Spirit Masters were above fortieth rank. For fortieth rank and below Spirit Masters, Tang San’s silver needles were enough to break their defensive spirit abilities.

  Purple Pearl had now already dodged into the pirate group, and still hadn’t discovered what happened outside, but she still heard the cries of alarm. Just as she wondered what had happened, suddenly, a warm feeling rushed into her body. At the same time she vaguely saw a faint blue light from the ground.

  Purple Pearl Island also possessed blue silver grass, just not all that much. Relying on the guidance of the Blue Silver Domain, let alone a few thousand, even among tens of thousands, Tang San would still easily be able to locate Purple Pearl.

  Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step launched. The pirates had already begun to attack Tang San, but he seemed to have grown a thousand arms, each time he raised his hands pirates would collapse. Those nearby with sealed acupoints, some more distant greeted by hidden weapons.

  Among these pirates, there were also dozens of fortieth rank or above Spirit Masters, who started encircling Tang San. Unfortunately, faced with the marvellous Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, even the pure speed Bai Chenxiang had no way to deal with it, let alone these sea Spirit Masters who could only reveal their full strength in the ocean.

  With the strength of one person, moving unhindered among thousands of pirates, yet nobody could bar Tang San’s path, his white shadow could be seen weaving unhindered back and forth through the pirates, large numbers of pirates constantly collapsing. The hidden weapons gradually did not only stick to silver needles, Tang San after all had a limited amount. Various kinds of hidden weapons started to appear, but these hidden weapons didn’t reveal any killing power, guided by Tang San’s ten dextrous fingers, they found the pirates’ acupoints.

  Purple Pearl finally discovered what was going on, and she also saw Tang San only a few dozen meters away. Seeing numerous group members collapsing, her mind had already turned blank.

  Was, was he still human? She clearly saw that Tang San complied with his promise, and didn’t use any spirit abilities, so much that he hadn’t even released that blue golden spirit. But even like this, nobody could block his path forward.

  The incense had already burned by half. But there were already several hundred pirates on the ground. In the eyes of the pirates, Tang San’s completely emotionless gaze was half like the descent of a death god.

  Suddenly, Tang San’s gaze met Purple Pearl’s. Purple Pearl saw the faint smile on his face, it didn’t hold any contempt, but was full of confidence, absolute confidence.

  Completely suppressed by such imposing manner, Purple Pearl couldn’t even display seventy percent of her strength. All she wanted to do now was run, run to the ocean as fast as possible. She believed that, as a landlubber Spirit Master, Tang San wouldn’t have any way of catching her in the sea.

  At this moment, Purple Pearl couldn’t help somewhat hate that she had placed this village at the center of the island. If it was at the seaside, maybe she could already have rushed into the sea.

  The only thing she was still grateful for, was that she could see that Tang San’ hadn’t killed anyone, those collapsed pirates had just temporarily lost the ability to move.

&nbs
p; “Block him, block him for me!”

  Purple Pearl shouted loudly, her fourth spirit ring abruptly brightening, suddenly crawling on the ground, the dark grey scales all over her body became even darker, she swiftly moved in the direction of the sea, leaving behind a faint afterimage.

  Tang San’s heart shivered. Through the Blue Silver Domain, he clearly felt Purple Pearl now moving forward with extreme speed. When passing through her subordinates, her speed wasn’t influenced at all. This spirit ability should be mainly for dodging attacks. According to her present speed, even though the pirates blocking him were insignificant, they were still numerous, and by the time he caught up to Purple Pearl, time would have run out, or she would have escaped into the ocean.

  Just as Purple Pearl surmised, if she really entered the ocean, Tang San would have no way of dealing with her.

  A loud resonant cry issued from Tang San’s mouth. No longer hiding his strength, an instant movement, and Tang San appeared fifty meters away. He started using teleportation. Each time Tang San flashed through the pirate crowd, there would inevitably be a batch of pirates collapsing to the ground. The distance to Purple Pearl grew closer and closer.

  Purple Pearl did her utmost to escape, and soon, the shore was already in sight. However, at the same time she also felt an aura quickly approaching behind her.

  A flash of light, and Tang San appeared in front of Purple Pearl out of nowhere, watching her with a smile.

  Purple Pearl suddenly stopped,

  “You’re shameless.”

  Tang San calmly said:

  “Not at all, I only said I wouldn’t use spirit abilities, I never said anything about spirit bone abilities. You should have seen very clearly that I didn’t even release my spirit. No need to stall for time, it’s useless. Concede.”

  “Drop dead.”

  Purple Pearl’s dark gray scales brightened, an immense coiling image appearing behind her back. That illusion gradually took shape, and moreover quickly split, unexpectedly separating into nine more than ten meter long giant serpents, pouncing at Tang San.

  Sixth spirit ability? Tang San’s gaze still didn’t change, he could sense that Purple Pearl was now just making a show of strength. She basically didn’t have the determination to bet her life. At the same time as she released the spirit ability, this lord captain used the cover of the illusion to quietly crawl sideways, heading directly for the sea. Her sixth spirit ability was more to confuse Tang San, to block him.

  Of course, the might of this sixth spirit ability was still quite fearsome. Tang San believed that if this spirit ability was used at sea, its strength would definitely be even greater.

  The nine giant serpents simultaneously rammed Tang San. Tang San opened his arms, his eyes closed, receiving the attack of the nine giant serpents as if enjoying it.

  All the pirates that could still move saw this scene clearly, Tang San’s body brightened with a golden light, and the nine giant serpents that abruptly struck his body were smashed to fragments, basically not causing Tang San any harm. And at this moment, a blue light shot out from between Tang San’s eyebrows, catching up to Purple Pearl in the blink of an eye. The blue light flashed and stilled, and Purple Pearl was no longer able to move a single step. It was the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud’s additional ability, Cosmic Stasis Barrier. Tang San firmly believed that Purple Pearl, with spirit power level roughly equal to his own, absolutely wouldn’t be able to break through the Cosmic Stasis Barrier. And at this moment, Purple Pearl was only one step away from the sea.

  Quiet, several thousand assembled pirates were quiet. Tang San waved his left hand, and that Cosmic Stasis Barrier enveloping Purple Pearl flew back. A bizarre scene played out. That pyramidal light barrier shrunk in midair, and by the time it reached Tang San’s left hand, it was only thirty centimeters high, resting in Tang San’s palm. And inside, Purple Pearl had also shrunken, sitting there with a disappointed expression.

  Turning around, Tang San walked step by step in the direction of the pirate village, and the at least two thousand pirates still able to move quietly opened up a passage. Blankly staring at Tang San walking past in front of them, not one dared to block him. Each time Tang San’s toes touched the ground, he would slide forward several dozen meters, floating in the air like an immortal.

  In front of absolute strength, they could only keep quiet. Resolute people nodded slightly, shocked to discover that in less time than it took a stick of incense to burn, there were actually more than five hundred pirates on the ground unable to move, and they included a hundred relatively weaker Spirit Masters.

  What kind of strength was this!

  In the daytime, Tang San had once threateningly told Purple Pearl with killing everything down to the chickens and dogs here. At that time the pirates had only treated it as bluster, but at this moment, the strength Tang San had displayed made them tremble from their souls. If this man wanted to kill people, who could stop him? Maybe he couldn’t kill everyone in an instant, but if given enough time, this could absolutely be accomplished.

  As Tang San returned to the wooden house, that stick of incense was just burning to an end, still not extinguished.

  When Ji Xiang saw Purple Pearl inside that blue pyramid in Tang San’s hand, his pupils contracted. Even though he hadn’t seen how Tang San accomplished it in the end, he was already completely convinced by Tang San’s strength.

  At the same level, without using his spirit, catching someone and coming back from among thousands of pirates as easy as reaching into his pocket, and still leaving hundreds of pirates without the strength to move. What kind of strength was this? If this teacher of his truly began a slaughter, then how many people here could survive?

  With a flick of his wrist, Tang San withdrew his Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. Purple Pearl’s body spun once in midair, growing larger, and by the time she hit the ground she was already restored to her original size.

  “You lose.”

  Tang San’s voice was still calm, as if this victory was inevitable.

  Slowly standing up, Purple Pearl’s eyes revealed a difficult to express mood. This time, she no longer cursed, only looking at Tang San, her expression somewhat strange. After a long time she still didn’t speak a word. And behind her, all the pirates watching Tang San had nothing but fear in their eyes.

  Tang San called over Ji Xiang, telling him:

  “I sealed the acupoints of the people on the ground, you go remove it for each of them, use the Mysterious Heaven Skill you just learned, concentrating it in your palm, then smack this place on their chest. Control your strength properly, use about a tenth of your current spirit power. Take back the silver needles or other hidden weapons piercing them, they will all be at their shoulders. Go.”

  Tang San softly poked a position on Ji Xiang’s chest, telling him the location of the acupoint.

  “Yes, teacher.”

  Ji Xiang knew that this was a training his master had for him, and quickly left.

  Ji Xiang hurriedly walked away, and Tang San’s gaze turned back to Purple Pearl. He didn’t rush her, only looked at her calmly.

  Purple Pearl fiercely clenched her teeth,

  “A loss is a loss, I admit it.”

  Speaking, she kneeled in front of Tang San with a thump, loudly calling out:

  “Master, hereafter I am yours.”

  Tang San’s originally calm expression showed a fraction of shock, helplessly shaking his head.

  Purple Pearl then turned around,

  “Fuck, what are you still standing around for, I’m kneeling, and you’re still standing? He’s my master, hereafter he’s also the master of our Purple Pearl pirates.”

  The pirates now returned to themselves. Immediately, the crowd grew shorter,

  “Master——”

  Their shouting wasn’t force, on the contrary it had a feeling of cheerfully submitting. Tang San had relied on his own strength to convince these pirates. Even though they might not be loyal to him, they absolutely
admired Tang San’s strength.

  “All rise. It’s late, go home and rest.”

  Tang San waved his hand, turning and walking into the wooden house.

  Purple Pearl looked distracted a moment. First to stand, she called out:

  “Master, is this it? You’re not planning on having me do something?”

  Tang San halted, turning his head to her,

  “What do you want to do? We have no past hatred. Go rest.

  “Finished speaking, he walked into the house once again.

  Purple Pearl unexpectedly revealed a shy expression;

  “Master, I suddenly find myself starting to like men. You don’t want sexual services?”

  Just stepping into the room, Tang San staggered, his rear view also seeming a bit rigid at this words. Seeing this appearance, Purple Pearl couldn’t help laughing heartily without any misgivings. Being suppressed by Tang San for a day and a night, she finally had her revenge. At least in her opinion.

  Ji Xiang was busy opening pirate acupoints for a whole night. Due to having to operate his Mysterious Heaven Skill each time he did, even though he ran out of spirit power several times and had to rest and recover, his control of the Mysterious Heaven Skill also increased a lot.

  The more pirate acupoints he unsealed, the deeper Ji Xiang’s veneration of Tang San became. So many pirates collapsed in just the time of one stick of incense, and every single pirate had been attacked in the same place. Even though Ji Xiang didn’t look at those who had their acupoints pressed, he believed that those pirates had definitely been struck in the shoulder.

  As Ji Xiang dragged his weary body back to the wooden house with an excited mind, the Shrek Six Devils and Bai Chenxiang were already awake.

  With a new lease of life after calamity, everyone couldn’t help sighing as they saw Tang San once again, recounting what had happened once again.

  After Ji Xiang entered, he sat honestly to the side. Tang San glanced at him saying:

  “Don’t sleep, cultivate according to the method I taught you. It will be beneficial to use this method in place of sleep in the future.
