Douluo Dalu - Volume 01-48

by Tang Jia San Shao

  But as Chen Xin saw Tang San, the vigilance and pressure he felt instantly disappeared, replaced by extreme shock. He had never expected a person who could easily dissolve two of his all out attacks to actually be Tang San.

  Of course, Tang San didn’t have an easy time of dissolving Chen Xing’s attacks, mainly relying on the Seago Trident. The Seagod Trident was a true divine weapon, it possessed a restraining effect on tool spirit forms. A blunt instrument like the Clear Sky Hammer was a bit better off, but a sharp weapon like this Seven Kill Sword was flatly restrained.

  After so many days of testing, Tang San was growing more and more familiar with the uses of the Seagod Trident. Previously Tang San had first completely sheltered his and Xiao Wu’s auras behind the Seagod Trident before relying on the one hundred eight thousand jin divine tool to block Sword Douluo’s attack. Even so, Tang San still felt unwell, constantly circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill to dissolve the Seven Kill Sword’s energy.

  As for Sword Douluo’s second attack, even though it was man and sword united, it still met teh Seagod’s divine skill, being dissolved was just common sense.

  “Tang San, it’s you.”

  Sword Douluo’s eyes opened wide, fearing he was hallucinating.

  Not long ago, the return of the Shrek Five Devils to Heaven Dou City had already enormously shocked the Heaven Do Empire’s spirit master world. In five years, the originally just sixty something ranked five people had all already broken through the Spirit Douluo level. What kind of idea was this? In fact, the current spirit masters of the Heaven Dou Empire was mainly made up of the Shrek Academy, Four Elements Academy, Tang Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as well as the imperial family spirit masters, their total numbers just barely reaching ten thousand. But when accounting for manning every city as well as other necessary arrangements, only six thousand could be summoned to the front lines. And among these, besides the Heaven Dou imperial family’s spirit masters who were fully familiar with the Shrek Seven Devils, the five devils’ return had given them such an enormous shock that they were already hailing them as unsurpassable geniuses of a thousand years.

  But, those five people who had shocked the entire Heaven Dou spirit master world were a full level below their front figure Tang San. No matter what Tang San did, if he hadn’t reached the Title Douluo level, how could he block his rank ninety seven strength attack? He, he really already was a Title Douluo? No wonder, no wonder the Shrek Five Devils only smiled without saying anything when asked about Tang San. This key figure of the Shrek Seven Devils had actually already reached such a level.

  At this moment, more than ten spirit masters flew up closely behind Sword Douluo. Tang San looked them over, and instantly smiled. He knew most of these flying spirit masters. There was spirit avatar form Four Eyed Owl Flender and Liu Erlong, using flying mushroom sausages were Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun unfolding his phoenix wings. Besides them, the remainder were all at least Spirit Douluo level spirit masters.

  “Little San, you came so quickly.”

  Everyone couldn’t help being overjoyed at seeing Tang San. Dai Mubai laughed:

  “By that sound, you’ve advanced again?”

  Flender laughed:

  “I took it for an enemy attack, so it was you brats coming. Good, you seven little monsters are assembled again.”

  Tang San and Xiao Wu bowed to Flender together. Tang San said sternly:

  “This time, we are truly assembled.”

  The five devils looked at each other, their gazes in an instant focusing on Xiao Wu. Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, her tears immediately reddening. Zhu Zhuqing said breathlessly:

  “Third brother, you did it? Xiao Wu is?”

  Liu Erlong was already dashing forward like a flame, turning into her human form, a pair of fire dragon wings on her back, flying straight up to Tang San and Xiao Wu.

  “Xiao Wu, my daughter, It’s been hard on you.”

  Pulling Xiao Wu out of Tang San’s arms with one move, she held her in a tight embrace. She and Grandmaster had no children, and after taking Xiao Wu as her adopted daughter, she had regarded her as her own. After she had heard what had happened to Xiao Wu and Tang San, she had suffered extremely. Now seeing Xiao Wu again, how could she not be excited?

  The flying spirit masters that had been awed by Tang San’s mental strength were now already released. Seeing so many powers surrounding Tang San’s pair and treating them like family, they understood that this person whose eyes could make them lose the ability to move, was actually on their side.

  The Shrek Five Devils gathered up, and Dai Mubai gripped Tang San’s shoulders:

  “Let’s go, let’s go, we’ll talk down below. This flying mushroom sausage doesn’t last too long. Little San, I really didn’t expect you to succeed to quickly.”

  Tang San smiled wryly:

  “Even though I succeeded, it was still at too high a price. Let’s go, we’ll land first.”

  Guided by everyone, Tang San followed them into the army. He then learned that the spirit master troop was at the heart of the army, directly surrounding and protecting the center, guarding the new Heaven Dou Imperial monarch Xue Beng.

  Tang San’s arrival immediately caused an enormous sensation. As everyone landed, Tang San’s gaze subconsciously looked for Grandmaster, but never saw a trace of him.

  Flender smiled:

  “Looking for Grandmaster? The times are different, and Grandmaster isn’t the Grandmaster from before. Besides your subordinate Tang Army, this time he’s the commander of all spirit masters. His Majesty conferred him as king Lan Dian[1], chief spirit master of the court, the regimental commander of the Heaven Dou spirit master regiment. In the imperial court, he is ranked second.

  Tang San stared blankly,

  “Ranked second? Then who’s first?”

  Flender gave him a meaningful look:

  “Do you still remember the title the Heaven Dou imperial family gave you before you left?”

  Tang San scratched his head:

  “It was something like tutor to the crown prince?”

  Flender said unhappily:

  “You brat really treats rank as dung. Not just tutor to the crown prince, but king Lan Hao. And the crown prince from then has already become the present regent. As tutor to the crown prince, you have also become the Imperial Tutor. That rank is just above Xiao Gang. Besides you, who else?”

  “What? Me?”

  Tang San looked dumbstruck at Flender, for a moment unable to conceal his shock. He had never expected that, after returning from a five year journey, he had actually become the Heaven Dou Empire’s Imperial Tutor, placed above hundreds of millions of people.

  On the other side, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing and Liu Erlong were already crying in a group. Xiao Wu was just telling everyone about her resurrection.

  Dai Mubai, Oscar and Ma Hongjun gathered around Tang San, Oscar grinning:

  “Little San, this time we’ve also been infected by your glory. Just as we returned, His Majesty conferred us as imperial dukes. Of course, for now it’s the unlanded kind.”

  Tang San asked Dai Mubai:

  “Boss, you too?”

  Dai Mubai smiled:

  “I’ve severed relations with my family, why wouldn’t I accept it? Anyway, I’m not planning on returning to Star Luo. That side is all iron and blood, it’s better being together with you all. Dukedom or not doesn’t matter, as long as we brothers can always be together, what does the rest matter?”

  When the army set off, the spirit masters received the best treatment, especially powers like these all rode in special carriages. Right now everyone were down on the ground, chatting while walking, already drowned in a forest of steel. Only, while they spoke, a rest order suddenly passed through the army, and the constantly advancing troops instantly came to a halt.

  The troops ahead suddenly parted, and four old men came walking from outside. The moment they lay eyes on Tan
g San, they instantly fell to one knee like golden mountains and jade pillars collapsing, speaking loudly:

  “Our respects to the sect master.”

  “Don’t be so courteous, elders.”

  Tang San hurriedly went to meet them, and with a wave of his hands, a vast spirit power immediately supported all the four elders. They were no strangers, but the the once clan chiefs of the four single attribute clans, now the four great hall masters of the Tang Sect. Strength Hall master Tai Tan, Speed Hall master Bai He, Defense Hall master Niu Gao, as well as Medicine Hall master Yang Wudi.

  Being easily pulled up by Tang San, the four elders couldn’t help showing shocked expressions. Only, in their hearts they felt even more joy. Tang San returning at the crucial moment was undoubtedly most advantageous to the Tang Sect. These four hall masters were already somewhat beyond their means when commanding an army. Especially on this campaign, where the Tang Sect’s full strength had left the nest. Just in case there was an accident, none of them could bear the responsibility.

  Before the four elders could start chatting, just at this moment, a loud voice declared,

  “His Majesty arrives.”

  Everyone who were just speaking quieted down, and the soldiers parted like a tide. Surrounded by a crowd of powers, wearing golden helmet, golden armor and a crimson battle gown, the Heaven Dou Empire’s newly appointed emperor Xue Beng appeared in front of everyone.

  Taking off his helmet, Xue Beng’s first act was unexpectedly to bow to Tang San, speaking respectfully:

  “Teacher.”

  [1] King Lan Dian - (蓝电王) King Blue Lightning. Just like Tang San, in this case “king” is a rank of nobility similar to a prince, not an actual ruler.

  Chapter 274: Heaven Dou Army

  The Heaven Dou Empire’s regent Xue Beng’s appearance instantly drew everyone’s attention. Just while a host of spirit masters were paying him their respects, he suddenly took off his golden helmet and bowed to Tang San, respectfully calling him teacher.

  In fact, in this army of millions, Xue Beng as Emperor bowing to Tang San in front of so many people shocked everyone, leaving them dumbstruck. No matter if they were spirit masters who knew Tang San or not, they couldn’t help instantly reevaluating this youth.

  Tang San bowed at the same time as Xue Beng paid his respects. He of course wouldn’t bow to Xue Beng, but rather to Grandmaster right next to him. He also addressed him as teacher.

  The scene seemed a bit strange. Only those who knew Tang San well understood what was going on.

  “Your Majesty, don’t be so courteous.”

  After Tang San saluted Grandmaster, he turned to the side, more or less accepting Xue Beng’s half bow, simultaneously stepping forward to help him up.

  Tang San clearly saw an excited expression in Xue Beng’s eyes.

  “Teacher for a day, a father for life. Teacher, this is only appropriate.”

  Xue Beng Tightly gripped Tang San’s hand, speaking respectfully.

  Tang San smiled slightly:

  “Your Majesty is now the ruler of a nation, and the commander of these millions of soldiers, you definitely can’t go on like this.”

  Xue Beng laughed out loud:

  “Teacher, I really didn’t expect you to catch up in time. It seems even Heaven is helping my Heaven Dou.”

  Tang San said:

  “I don’t understand leading troops in battle, but Since Tang San has come, I will definitely devote my full strength to help sharing Your Majesty’s burdens.”

  Xue Beng nodded to Tang San, then turned his gaze to the surrounding crowds, suddenly loudly declaring:

  “Heaven Dou Empire’s subordinates hear my command!”

  “Long live Your Majesty!”

  Instantly, a storm of voices rose in answer. Whether spirit masters or soldiers and generals, all fell to one knee. The only ones who didn’t were Tang San and Grandmaster who were entitled not to.

  Xue Beng’s eyes shone, projecting a graceful royal presence,

  “Today, my teacher, Tang Sect Master king Lan Hao, Tang San, has returned. Hereafter, teacher’s orders are like my commands, where teacher goes, like my presence.”

  “Yes. Long live Your Majesty, long live king Lan Hao.”

  Hearing the shouts of millions of heroes, even someone as steadfast as Tang San couldn’t help but feel his blood boil. His impassioned voice reverberated in the sky,

  “Heaven—— Dou—— certain—— victory——!”

  This rallying cry was filled with incomparably tyrannical mental power, and at the same time Tang San raised the Seagod Trident. Along with the Seagod’s Light pouring into it, a ray of deeply golden light shot up. Even in daytime, every soldier could clearly see that divine pillar of golden light.

  “Heaven—— Dou—— certain—— victory——!”

  Roars resounded in every corner of the army, the voices travelling several doze li before fading. The army’s vigor instantly rose to an unprecedented level.

  Xue Beng stared shocked at that golden trident in Tang San’s hand that gave even him thoughts of submission, and couldn’t help exclaiming in admiration. Besides gratitude, his respect for Tang San was even more due to the Tang Sect’s importance for the entire Heaven Dou Empire. He also knew Tang San was a genius, but he was after all a genius of the young generation. In his impression, he still wasn’t a true power. But Tang San’s shout had still provoked a reply from millions of soldiers, and the aura he exposed for an instant shocked even Xue Beng who had met a lot of powers. Vaguely, he already sensed that Tang San’s power absolutely wasn’t inferior to those old spirit masters.

  “Teacher, thank you.”

  Xue Beng said sincerely.

  Tang San smiled calmly:

  “It’s not too late for Your Majesty to thank me once I’ve helped Your Majesty sweep the Spirit Empire flat.”

  Right now he was no longer the Tang San from before. With the backing of formidable strength, Tang San’s words held an intense confidence.

  Xue Beng smiled:

  “Teacher, how about being my vice commander?”

  Tang San shook his head:

  “Your Majesty, I don’t understand army battles. I think I’d better help you block the enemy’s stronger spirit master. I’ll help lead the Tang Army. Once we encounter the Spirit Empire’s spirit master legions, leave it to me and Teacher to confront them. We’ll keep them from interfering with the main battlefield as much as possible.”

  “Little San……”

  Grandmaster frowned, looking at Tang San. The Spirit Empire’s spirit master legions were so powerful that, even if Tang San was the Imperial Tutor, Grandmaster felt that his promise was a bit inappropriate. After all, if he couldn’t achieve what he promised, it would mean major losses to the entire army. That was unpardonable for anyone.

  Xue Beng glanced at Grandmaster, then looked at Tang San again, speaking in a low voice:

  “Teacher, this time I’m personally commanding the army with the mindset that broken jade is bett
er than undamaged brick. When facing Spirit Hall’s spirit master legions, if we can fight then fight, and if we can’t, we still have the army for support.”

  Tang San said:

  “Your Majesty, I calculated the Spirit Empire’s strength on the way here. According to all kinds of indicators in the past, the total sum of the Spirit Empire’s spirit masters should be sixty to seventy thousand. You could say it’s ten times ours. But, they can at most mobilize fifty thousand. After all, the strength of spirit masters below rank thirty is basically useless on the battlefield, and that’s already stretching it. They will need to leave at least five thousand spirit masters as reserve, and five thousand to guard their most important cities. The spirit masters they can actually throw against us and the Star Luo Imperial Army should number around forty thousand. Your Majesty mobilizing the entire nation like this should be after discussing it well with Star Luo. The Star Luo Empire’s strength isn’t less than ours, and they’re bound to form a pincer attack from the south. So, the Spirit Empire’s spirit master legions should halve again, leaving around twenty thousand to face us. Of course, even so, they have three to four times our numbers in spirit masters, still an overwhelming advantage.”

  Listening to Tang San’s analysis, Xue Beng nodded repeatedly, expressing his agreement.

  Tang San continued:

  “At present, Grandmaster should be leading around four thousand of our six thousand spirit masters, plus two thousand three hundred of our Tang Sect. Adding the Tang Army equipped with Tang Sect hidden weapons, I’m confident in at least blocking the frontal attack of Spirit Hall’s twenty thousand spirit masters.”
