Douluo Dalu - Volume 01-48

by Tang Jia San Shao

  Xiao Wu stood nearby. Watching Tang San’s family embrace, she couldn’t help feeling a bit lost. Right now she missed her dead mother, and missed Da Ming and Er Ming.

  Just at this moment, a golden ribbon circled her waist, and the next moment she was pulled into that warm motherly embrace.

  “Child, don’t be sad. From now on I’m your mom. You will never be alone. You have little San, and me and your dad. We’re all your family.”

  Ah Yin softly caressed Xiao Wu’s head, speaking gently. Even though her voice was a bit choked from crying, to Xiao Wu’s ears this sounded like the world’s most touching voice.

  Even though Erlong recognized her as her adopted daughter, Erlong’s fiery temper was very different from Xiao Wu’s mother. But Ah Yin now gave her an illusion like her mother really had been reborn. Equally gently and benevolently wrapping up her body, and also wrapping up her heart, this moment her lonely helplessness evaporated completely.

  “Mom——”

  Embracing with tears of happiness, everyone’s hearts held different feelings. The one who felt it the deepest was Tang Hao. After fully a half stick of incense of time, he pulled up Tang San,

  “Fine, today is the happy day of your family’s reunion, we can’t all me crying.”

  Ah Yin nodded, wiping the tears from Tang San and Xiao Wu’s faced,

  “Your father is right. Today is a happy day, we should be excited.”

  Tang San had now already returned to his senses, and asked Ah Yin:

  “Mom, how is your recover?”

  This was what concerned him the most. After all, his mother had cultivated to hundred thousand years twice, and also drawn support from a lot of outside forces, he feared there would be a problem with his mother’s resurrection.

  Ah Yin said:

  “Even better than expected. Not only have I restored my human form, I’ve also restored my cultivation level from back then. It feels like my body is just like I remember it. My spirit power is just past rank seventy. Only, there are still certain differences. It might be because of the influence of your Blue Silver Domain awakening the Blue Silver Emperor blood in me, even though my current spirit power is just at the Spirit Sage level, my mental strength, and especially my blue silver grass affinity is almost the same as when I was a hundred thousand year spirit beast. But no matter what, those are all good things. With you and your father here, my seventy ranks of strength is enough.”

  Tang San thought to himself that it was fortunate his mother didn’t have to start her human form from the beginning, otherwise, if she now had the appearance of a little girl, let alone whether his father could accept it, even he would feel quite strange.

  Ah Yin said:

  “I’m already completely reborn. Little San, let’s go to the Clear Sky School.”

  Tang San uf course understood why his mother was impatient, and immediately nodded his approval. On the contrary it was Tang Hao who shook his head:

  “Let’s not rush. It’s more important for our family to be together. Ah Yin, you’ve just been reborn, consolidate your cultivation first. Otherwise I’ll be worried.”

  Ah Yin helplessly said:

  “Aren’t I already very well right now? Don’t worry, I will definitely treat myself well. For myself, and for you and our son and daughter in law.”

  Under Tang Hao’s stubborn persistence, the four lived like a happy family in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well valley for three days. Every day, Ah Yin and Xiao Wu were in charge of cooking, while Tang San and Tang Hao exchanged some cultivation understanding. When Tang Hao heard that Tang Xiao had passed on to Tang San the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, letting him use them, and he gave pointers from the side. With his wife resurrected, Tang Hao’s deathly still heart had also come back to new life. It seemed to him like he was growing younger with each day. He was simply a completely different person compared to back when he had just severed his limbs.

  Of course, Tang Hao didn’t have the sever strictness he did when Tang San was a child. Seeing his son had grown up, his eyes were filled with smiles.

  Three days passed without any problems with Ah Yin’s body. With Tang Hao urged by his wife, the family finally decided to leave the Sunset Forest, to go to the Clear Sky School.

  The Sunset Forest bordered Heaven Dou City, not far from the Clear Sky School. In order to help his father quickly regenerate his arm and leg, Tang San didn’t turn around even when they passed by Heaven Dou City. The family of four went straight to the Clear Sky School. Tang San originally also wanted to go to the sect, the three requirements raised by the five elders were already completed. At the same time, the one forging the Tang Sect’s strongest mechanical type hidden weapons, Lou Gao, was still there.

  Chapter 269: Return To Clear Sky School

  Back then, when Tang San delivered the divine craftsman Luo Gao to the Clear Sky School along with large amounts of precious metals, he also left the prescription for explosives there. He had already done the experiments, and explosives could completely be produced in this world. Consequently, divine craftsman Luo Gao would not only produce the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle, but at the same time also the Tang Sect’s strongest hidden weapon, the Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus. This was the frightening weapon Tang San had invested his research into in his previous life.

  Relatively speaking, the craftsmanship to make the Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus was even more demanding than the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle, because mixing the explosives as well as forging the item itself was extremely difficult. But, Tang San after all had experience making the Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus, therefore the blueprints he left Luo Gao were a lot more accurate, down to the last detail. Thus, from Luo Gao’s point of view, making the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle was actually a bit trickier.

  Five years had gone by, and Tang San also didn’t dare be certain that Luo Gao could produce these two exceptional hidden weapons, but thinking of his uncle’s help, forging them shouldn’t have been any problem.

  The Clear Sky School was located three hundred li east of Heaven Dou City. At a distance, Tang San’s family of four could already see chimney smoke rising from that little village in the mountains.

  Even though Tang Hao originally gave Tang San the map to here, that map was given to him by Tang San’s aunt Tang Yuehua, he himself had never come here. Seeing this dilapidated little mountain village, Tang Hao’s eyes flashed with cold light.

  Not so long ago, the Clear Sky School was still the world’s number one sect, now it was reduced to this, so much that it even used this broken down mountain village as it’s outer gate. As the Clear Sky School’s former strongest Title Douluo, Tang Hao’s current mood could well be imagined.

  Only, his tightly clenched fist was grabbed by a pair of gentle hands. Tang Hao turned his head to look, only to find his wife just gently gazing at him. Ah Yin said gently:

  “Don’t overthink it. Since you and your son have returned, the Clear Sky School will definitely rise to glory again.”

  Seeing his wife, Tang Hao’s cold and stiff face softened, reversing to hrip Ah Yin’s hand, nodding:

  “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Only, after having been away from the sect for so many years, when I’m finally back I feel a bit frustrated.”

  Tang San looked at his father’s ruined body, and couldn’t help saying:

  “Dad, if the Clear Sky School doesn’t agree to accomodate us, we’ll just leave once your spirit bones are returned.”

  Tang Hao’s face grew flat, speaking in a low voice:

  “Shut your mouth. Little San, you have to remember, no matter how the sect treats us, we are children of the sect. The spirit we use is the Clear Sky Hammer passed down from the sect. No matter when, you are a child of the Clear Sky School.”

  Even though Tang Hao only had one arm and one leg, when he was angry he was still dignified.

  “Yes.”

  Tang San immediately agreed. Only, in his heart, there wasn’t a bit of good opinion towards the
sect. Looking at the mountain behind the mountain village, he thought that if everything went smoothly it was fine. If those sect elders dared be unfavorable to his father, they couldn’t blame him for not giving them face.

  Just at this moment, Tang San suddenly saw his mother’s gaze, saw the support in her eyes.

  Tang Hao had severed two limbs in order to repay the sect, but the Clear Sky School had never supported Tang Hao over the years. This not only lowered Ah Yin’s opinion of the Clear Sky School, it even involved some loathing. She naturally supported her son.

  With his mother’s support, Tang San was immediately relieved. No matter how strongly attached to the sect his father was, his mother’s position was even higher in his heart. In the crucial moment, his mother would definitely have a vital effect.

  While speaking, they had already arrived at the village gate. A few of the village men in front immediately saw them. Even though Tang San had come here before, the people in the village were only the outer disciples of the Clear Sky School. There weren’t a lot of people that had met him. Seeing four people arriving, someone immediately stepped up to bar them.

  “Please leave, we don’t welcome outsiders here.”

  One villager said coldly.

  Tang San frowned,

  “Even the lines are exactly the same as last time, not a bit of creativity.”

  While speaking, he directly released his Clear Sky Hammer.

  Even before the black light appeared, pressure like a black cloud overhead already surged from Tang San’s left hand. His Clear Sky Hammer was now no longer that ringless Clear Sky Hammer from back then. The enormous hammer even seemed a bit more powerful than the black Seagod Trident, and the volume of the hammerhead was a full size larger than before. The shaft had also extended to almost two meters. The current Clear Sky Hammer wasn’t the forging implement from before, but rather a true warhammer.

  Deep golden patterns roamed across the surface of the black hammer, especially the inscribed Deathgod Domain gave it a blood red haze. Its aggressiveness hid a tyrannical aura of death, spreading out almost substantial.

  One red, two black, three spirit rings were arrayed around the Clear Sky Hammer, their light held back, but still filled with an intangible oppressive power.

  The expressions of those few villagers blocking them simultaneously underwent huge changes, retreating in a panic, all the way to the village gate before they could catch their balance, watching that Clear Sky Hammer Tang San held, they were already shocked speechless.

  Tang San spoke indifferently:

  “Quickly go report to the sect, tell them father and son Tang Hao and Tang San have returned with family.”

  The few villagers looked at each other, then hurriedly ran for the village.

  Tang Hao was now thoughtfully thinking about something, his brows tightly furrowed. Ah Yin stood calmly by his side, holding his single arm. From time to time she looked at her son, and whenever she saw that tall handsome figure, she couldn’t keep a smiling expression from her eyes. With such a son, what else could she want.

  There would always be sect disciples stationed in this little village outpost. Because those villagers really were too shocked by Tang San’s Clear Sky Hammer, they even forgot to invite them into the village. Not long after, one person walked out surrounded by villagers.

  This person wore familiar grey clothing. He was an acquaintance, the first time Tang San came to the Clear Sky School, he had greeted him together with Tang Long. Tang San still remembered that this was a third generation disciple a few years older than him called Tang Yu.

  Tang Yu clearly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Tang San,

  “It really is you! I thought those outer sect disciples were scaring me. Hello, Tang San, welcome back. How come I just heard them say second uncle was also coming back with you?”

  Tang San’s eyes darkened. Tang yi clearly saw his father, and when he didn’t recognize his injured father, he couldn’t help feeling a bit more resentful to the Clear Sky School. He spoke in a low voice:

  “My father is here.”

  Tang Yu was a Clear Sky School disciple, and naturally no ordinary person. He immediately sensed the change in Tang San’s expression, and shifted his gaze to Tang Hao. Even though he made great effort to control his mood, as he saw Tang Hao’s single arm and leg, he still couldn’t keep a trace of shock from showing. Only, he was still clever, and very quickly reacted. Hurriedly taking two steps forward, he bowed:

  “Junior is Tang Yu, greetings second uncle.”

  Actually, Tang Hao really wasn’t the second oldest of the Clear Sky School’s second generation, only he and Tang Xiao were the children of the previous sect master’s first wife, and so the third generation addressed him as second uncle.

  Tang Hao waved his hand:

  “No need for courtesy, I already didn’t count the Clear Sky School’s people among the sects’ sinners as early as twenty years ago.”

  Tang San spoke in a low voice:

  “Big brother Tang Yu, I’ll trouble you to lead the way, we’re going up to the sect.”

  Hearing Tang San say this, Tang Yu immediately showed a difficult expression, smiling wryly:

  “Brother, you going up to the sect is naturally no problem. Only, you also know that the sect is sealed right now, outsiders aren’t allowed. Also, second uncles status is sensitive right now. Don’t make it difficult for me.”

  Tang San angrly said:

  “What outsiders? My father is the previous head’s son, titled Clear Sky, this is my mother and my wife, where are there outsiders?”

  “This……”

  Tang Yu said awkwardly:

  “Tang San, I really can’t take charge of this. How about this, you come with me to the sect first and explain the circumstances to the sect master and the elders. Then invite second uncle and your family up the mountain?”

  Tang San’s heart moved, turning his gaze to his mother, and his expression immediately calmed down. Nodding to Tang Yu, he said:

  “That’s fine too. Then we’ll go first.”

  Speaking, he stepped in front of his father,

  “Dad, let’s not make it difficult for him. He really can’t take charge. I’ll go up the mountain with him first, then come down to get you. Xiao Wu, you wait for me here too.”

  Xiao Wu nodded cutely, and Tang San turned and left. Just as he turned around, his shoulder was grabbed by a strong large hand.

  Tang San looked back, only to see his father stare at him with a burning gaze. Father and son looked at each other, and in that instant Tang San knew that his father already understood what he intended. He secretly sighed, it really was true that nobody understood a son better than his father! He had already concealed it, but his father still saw through him.

  Tang Hao looked deeply at Tang San,

  “Little San, pay attention to propriety. Go. We’ll wait for you here.”

  Tang San’s gaze showed a trace of astonishment. Even though his father admonished him, his words clearly held a special meaning, and didn’t completely oppose it. From this point he could see that his father was also dissatisfied with the sect. Of course, this was also because his father’s heart was with the sect, and was anxious to return to pay respect to his grandfather.

  Nodding to his father, Tang San then turned and followed Tang Yu.

  Passing through the village, they reached a steep rock wall. Tang Yu called out to Tang San, then leapt up, using depressions every ten meters as leverage, going towards the top.

  Tang San smiled slightly. This time he didn’t follow the rules like last time. With a blur, he was already fluttering upwards in the air, reaching the top in the blink of an eye. With his cultivation reaching rank ninety and entering the Title Douluo level, he could fully utilize the effects of the hundred thousand year spirit bone abilities. The Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone flight ability had already become a part of him, and he flew even faster than a bird with just a thought.

&nb
sp; As Tang Yu crested the top and saw Tang San already standing there waiting for him, he couldn’t help rubbing his eyes. He hadn’t even noticed how Tang San got up there.

  “Let’s hurry up a bit, so as not to keep father waiting.”

  Tang San nodded to Tang Yu, then reached out and grabbed his shoulder.

  As a direct descendant of the Clear Sky School, Tang Yu naturally also possessed uncommon strength. He subconsciously pulled back, intending to dodge. But who knew that Tang San’s palm seemed to have a bizarre attractive force, Tang Yu only felt his shoulder go numb, and the automatically gathered spirit power in his body was actually restrained. The next moment, he cried out in alarm as he flew upwards into the mist.

  Tang San directly brought him flying, and Tang Yu just felt the biting cold mountain wind brush past him, his ears filled with sharp whistling sounds. But strangely, he didn’t feel the slightest bit cold. Instead he was comfortably warm, as if soaked in warm water, incredibly comfortable.

  Before Tang Yu could enjoy it too much, there was a shock beneath him as his feet were back on solid ground, and he simultaneously regained control of his body.

  Tang San let go his left hand from his shoulder, smiling slightly:

  “Don’t hold it against me for offending, this was a bit faster.”

  Tang Yu then discovered that he had already returned to the main peak of the Clear Sky School, and in just the time of a few breaths!

  Helplessly shaking his head, Tang Yu’s gaze at Tang San immediately changed a lot,

  “Tang San, you’re even more terrifying now than last time you came back. Only, I somehow feel you’ve got bad intentions! Don’t have this kind of mood in front of the elders. The elders aren’t in a great mood.”

  Tang San smiled calmly:

  “Many thanks for the warning. I will keep it in mind.”

  He thought to himself, did it really show so clearly? Even Tang Yu saw that he had bad intentions? Only, bad intentions or not, it depended on the sect’s choice.

  Tang Yu looked over that strange ancient Seagod Trident in Tang San’s hand,
