Douluo Dalu - Volume 03 - Monster Academy Read online

  In Tang San’s eyes released a cold light, apparently, his plan could only advance.

  Soon unable to hide from Zhao Wuji’s falling body, he simply no longer dodged. In a moment Zhao Wuji dropped towards him, he immediately launched his second spirit ring ability, Parasite.

  When previously Blue Silver Grass obstructed Zhao Wuji’s advancement, parasitic seeds already stealthily nestled on Zhao Wuji’s body, by now abruptly unleashed, suddenly appeared Blue Silver Grass immediately in midair sturdily binding Zhao Wuji.

  The timing Tang San chose for unleashing Parasite was perfect, just the moment Zhao Wuji was about to fall to the ground, like this, Zhao Wuji was unable to after hitting the ground to first launch an attack.

  Tang San’s both hands simultaneously rose, only hearing clanging sounds simultaneously rising, six cold lights spit out from within his sleeves, powerful crossbow bolts created ear piercing air splitting sounds, shooting straight for Zhao Wuji’s face.

  Athough Zhao Wuji’s defensive strength was powerful, these suddenly appearing crossbow bolts still startled him, Motionless Bright King Body in a flash unleashing. Loud peng sounds. Within the spreading golden light, not only struggling free of Blue Silver Grass bindings, also repelling the six crossbow bolts shot towards him.

  What was Tang San’s most expert skill? At least until now, it absolutely was not hand thrown type hidden weapons, just what he studied all his previous life was mechanism type hidden weapons.

  The sudden start from the crossbow bolts made Zhao Wuji’s body break out in cold sweat, although his Motionless Bright King Body could repel the crossbow bolts, the crossbow bolts force of impact was extremely painful on his face, it could clearly be seen how powerful the force of the bolts was.

  Simultaneously using Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, drawing support from the impulse released by Zhao Wuji’s Motionless Bright King Body, Tang San’s body once again leapt back, staying out of range of Zhao Wuji’s empty slap.

  Restraining within both arms, chest muscles flexing, a buzzing sound immediately echoed from Tang San’s stomach. Glittering like frost and snow a steel needle brought a thick fog puffing out from Tang San’s stomach, just right to meet the charging Zhao Wuji.

  Tang San could also be considered the great master of a generation in mechanism type hidden weapons, the mechanism type hidden weapons he made could not need any power switch, relying on muscle contraction to start. Impossible to defend against.

  Part 5

  The tea fragrant mist made Zhao Wuji’s brain dizzy, Motionless Bright King Body’s defense naturally also dropped a bit. At this moment, Zhao Wuji clearly felt his chest ache. Lowering his head to look, horrified discovered, that steel needle fired from Tang San’s chest unexpectedly penetrated his Motionless Bright King Body’s defense, fully piercing his chest.

  A paralysingly painful feeling in a flash transmitted via the nerves to Zhao Wuji’s brain.

  “Poisoned.”

  Zhao Wuji in his heart was shocked. Hurriedly once again pressing his Motionless Bright King Body, forcing the steel needle to jolt outside his body. But, the poison already transmitted within his body by the double effect of breath and blood.

  Tang Sect could not only be about hidden weapons, Tang Sect’s poison was equally absolute. Even though Tang San these several years had not any chance to gather poisonous substances, he could not waste that original Datura Snake from the Datura Snake venomous fangs for use on that hidden weapon on his stomach, at the crucial moment, displaying its biggest effect. On his stomach this hidden weapon, also was on his body one of very few kinds of hidden weapons capable of breaking Body Protecting Big Dipper Tail Qi. Called Powder Shooting Shadow[ (含沙射影) “Containing Powder Shooting Shadow”, but it’s also an idiom for attacking someone by innuendo.].

  Of course, Zhao Wuji’s Motionless Bright King Body defensive power was too strong, Powder Shooting Shadow’s sixty four steel needles also only could with difficulty puncture his skin, nothing more.

  But like this was already sufficient. Datura Snake’s speed although not sufficient to make Zhao Wuji lose capability to resist, forced him to divide spirit power to block the poison from spreading. This gave Tang San even more time to catch his breath.

  However, Zhao Wuji’s pause did not at all let Tang San continue running, he on the contrary met Zhao Wuji’s charge face to face. Ten fingers simultaneously ejecting, ten minute golden rays flashed through the air. If not watching attentively, one would even be unable to discover their existence.

  As a hidden weapons master, with certainty shooting hidden weapons timing naturally was extremely important, Tang San undoubtedly accomplished this bit, the time he chose was just while Zhao Wuji urged Motionless Bright King Body to jolt out the steel needle, for a moment defensive power was weak.

  Relying on Purple Demon Eye to see clearly, Tang San was not only able to see clearly the opponent’s every move, he was even able to see around Zhao Wuji’s body spirit power’s fluctuating intensity. Otherwise how could he also in this way just perfectly look for the opponent’s weak points? This was Purple Demon Eye’s biggest effect.

  Ten golden hair rays force had penetrated Motionless Bright King Body’s defense and quietly engraved on Zhao Wuji’s body, boring within.

  Zhao Wuji only felt numerous simultaneous stinging pain reach his body, to his strong mental state, still could not help but draw in a breath, sore whole body spasming.

  “You……”

  Zhao Wuji somewhat angrily, on his lips emitting a low howl, the fifth spirit ring, that glittering deep black spirit ring abruptly shone. An intense bellow made the entire Shrek Academy shudder.

  Tang San only felt all around simultaneously an immense sound pressure, his body uncontrolledly rising towards Zhao Wuji, from his body’s surroundings the sound pressure seemingly must force his body to break into pieces, this power already was not something he was capable of contending with.

  Zhao Wuji’s Vigorous Vajra Bear spirit’s fifth spirit ability, Gravity Crush[ (重力挤压) “Gravity Squeeze” is less impressive.].

  Did Tang San surrender like this? Of course not.

  He sharply lowered his head, following a crisp crackling bursting sound, an extending seven cun[ 7寸 = 23.3 cm] crossbow bolt from his back abruptly shot out, shooting straight for Zhao Wuji’s bellowing mouth. Under circumstances where he himself was already controlled by the other side, still able to maintain such accuracy, making people gasp in amazement.

  Tense Back Flower Adornment Crossbow[ (紧背花装弩)], a medium sized crossbow bolt. Shot with back muscle control. Only had one shot. But because the crossbow bolt was big, mechanism’s elastic force excessive, the destructive force among mechanism type hidden weapons belonged to the extremely powerful. By far could not be compared to Sleeve Darts.

  Simultaneously, Tang San’s both feet knocked together, on the tip of each foot stretched out a three cun long sharp blade, one flying kick towards Zhao Wuji’s throat, another only following noiselessly to kick at his lower vitals, under these disadvantaged circumstances, he still could respond by putting out such attacks, absolutely regarded as terrible.

  Tense Back Flower Adornment Crossbow’s launch speed was incomparably fast, Zhao Wuji did not even have time to raise his hands, Motionless Bright King Body’s defense forcefully passed through by the crossbow bolt, shooting straight for his mouth.

  In a desperate situation, Zhao Wuji displayed the formidable combat experience of a Spirit Sage, not at all frantic, his teeth closed, just in time to bite Tense Back Flower Adornment Crossbow’s bolt in his mouth.

  Tense Back Flower Adornment Crossbow’s force of impact was extremely tyrannical, although Zhao Wuji bit it to a stop, his teeth by the shock loosened. Simultaneously, a sweet fragrance transmitted in his mouth from the crossbow bolt, managing to immediately make his brain go dizzy a spell.

  Tense Back Flower Adornment Crossbow only had one bolt, how could Tang San possibly not do the above? The
crossbow bolts hollow interior, inside contained a little bit of Datura Snake venom, once the bolt entered the enemy’s body, venom would immediately inject. Although currently the crossbow bolt had not pierced Zhao Wuji’s body, Zhao Wuji’s teeth also gave it sufficient pressure effect, this mouthful of venom, also naturally unrestrained delivered to him.

  “Pah!”

  Zhao Wuji spat out the mouthful of crossbow bolt, simultaneously both hands warding above and swatting down, resolving Tang San’s two legged attack, currently, Tang San already squeezed before him.

  “Are you a hedgehog?”

  Zhao Wuji snarled. However, because of eating the mouthful of Datura Snake venom, his tongue was a little numb, speech somewhat inarticulate.

  Let alone after entering Shrek Academy, even if previously when mixing in the Spirit Master realm, he also had not eaten such a loss. An ominous glint momentarily flickered in his eyes, about to flare up.

  However, Tang San’s attack still had not completely concluded, at some time, in his left hand suddenly appeared a hammer, a pitch black small hammer. After Zhao Wuji blocked his legs, the left hand’s hammer smashed towards Zhao Wuji’s face.

  Chapter 020: Oscar’s Big Fresh Sausage And Little Cured Sausage

  Part 1

  ”Still not done.”

  Zhao Wuji in his heart was secretly furious, resolving to give this little hedgehog before his eyes a bit of a lesson, right hand blocking in front of his face, left hand’s palm slapping at Tang San’s chest. Of course, this palm of his did not use any amount of strength, only was because of his eating such a big loss, not once retaliating a little, his heart truly was uneasy. Of course, when this palm slapped out, he already withdrew his ten thousand year spirit ring ability Gravity Crush, or else Tang San simply would be directly crushed to death by this ability.

  Pengpeng, two sounds echoed simultaneously.

  Tang San’s body flew out by Zhao Wuji’s palm slap, among them one sound naturally was produced by him, body flying in the air, belching out a mouthful of blood.

  His previous attack, could even be said to have exhausted his thoughts and ingenuity, exhausting his mind and internal strength, right now already was exhausted like a lamp dried up of oil, also how he endured this slap of Zhao Wuji’s. Not passing out from the shock was already pretty good.

  Dai Mubai released Zhu Zhuqing on the ground, figure flashing, moving like flying to receive Tang San’s fall.

  The other muffled sound belonged to Zhao Wuji. Originally he thought this only was another hidden weapon of Tang San’s, nothing more, his blocking Tang San’s hammer was that not very effortless? But, as that hammer smashed on his palm, he already felt mistaken.

  That seemingly very small hammer’s power was deeply profound, even though Zhao Wuji promptly pressed his spirit power, he after all because of previously, under the double influence of Datura Snake venom and the pains over his body, his spirit power was somewhat insufficient.

  The hammer smashing his palm, the palm again struck his face, blood immediately flowed from Zhao Wuji’s nose, again adding to that palm rubbing, immediately like opening a dyed cloth, his face bloomed like a great flower. The entire person a bit smashed senseless.

  But that black little hammer after smashing him, quietly disappeared.

  Tang San supported by Dai Mubai, again coughed up a mouthful of blood, even though his injuries were not light, if only looking at the exterior, who would not believe just now this fight was Zhao Wuji’s win.

  Of course, this was not to say Zhao Wuji’s strength was not powerful. He after all was fighting with exam students, by fearing to truly injure Tang San somewhat bound hand and foot, simultaneously he also thought to have a look at what level Tang San actually reached. He was also expert in physical strength, not expert in pursuit. Again adding Tang San’s hidden weapon’s sudden nature truly was too big, also among every kind of exquisite calculations, this just let the underestimating the enemy Zhao Wuji to eat a big loss. This also counted as greatly losing face. If it was a true fight, Zhao Wuji need only directly activate his fifth spirit ring ability, and Tang San would directly have been killed by him. The difference in actual strength was after all too large.

  If it only was a test, Tang San naturally would not be so desperate, but Xiao Wu’s losing consciousness aroused the bloodthirst in his heart. Again adding Zhao Wuji’s giving him enormous pressure, immediately made him erupt. Let alone the several clear-headed people here, even if it was Xiao Wu she also had not seen Tang San’s this day’s kind of full strength fighting appearance.

  Dai Mubai looked at Zhao Wuji’s all over bloodstained face, wanting to smile but again not daring, hurriedly loudly shouting,

  “Oscar, Oscar, quickly come. You have vitality.”

  By means of spirit power pressing the voice, only had to be within this academy, probably nobody wouldn’t hear.

  Several years later, when in the capacity of Shrek Seven Devil Boss Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai already won success and recognition, was asked, among Shrek Seven Devils, who was actually the most terrible?

  Dai Mubai without the slightest hesitation answered, it was Soft Bones Douluo Xiao Wu, for a very simple reason. Because she was Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San’s trigger[ (逆鳞) Actually “opposing scale”, as in rubbing someone the wrong way, which doesn’t have a good noun in English.]. Directly provoking Tang San might not at all be serious, but if provoking Xiao Wu and arousing Tang San’s fury. Then, terrible matters would appear, Tang San in that case no longer was Thousand Hands Douluo, but was Thousand Hands Asura.

  Dai Mubai all through his life was passionately romantic, even to the extent that within Shrek Seven Devils he was jokingly known as the Unrivalled Slut, but he had never teased Xiao Wu. Because he was an intelligent man, he absolutely did not want to confront a furious Tang San. And all this, was because before him occurred this scene to remind him.

  “Vitality where, vitality where?”

  Oscar’s very characteristically soft voice somewhat excited came from far and near, very quickly, he appeared before everyone.

  Maybe it was because he was too impatient, he even abandoned his cart, like this running over by himself.

  “Little Ao, come over.”

  Dai Mubai called towards him.

  Oscar hurriedly ran over,

  “Boss Dai, were you calling me?”

  Dai Mubai nodded, saying:

  “Hurry, take out several sausages. They all sustained injuries.”

  Oscar was greatly happy,

  “Five copper spirit coins per sausage, finally do not forget to settle accounts with me. I your father[ He refers to himself as (老子), an excessively arrogant way to refer to oneself. Something like “I’m your daddy” baked into a formal personal pronoun.] have a big sausage.”

  During that monstrous spirit incantation, in his hand light flashed, immediately a savory sausage appeared.

  Dai Mubai signalled to Tang San with his eyes,

  “Eat. Although this fellow’s words are a bit nauseating, his sausages indeed have very good effect. This is the first spirit ring added sausage, can accelerate the body’s recovery of injuries.

  The sausage did not matter, but Tang San recalling that line of Oscar’s, at once could not help but have his stomach roll, hastily waving his hand,

  “My injury is not serious, only am somewhat out of strength. I will be fine if resting a moment. You still let him give sausage for others
to eat.”

  Finished speaking, he immediately sat crosslegged upright, circulating his breath.

  Tang San not eating, did not mean other people also did not eat. For instance, someone who greatly lost face.

  “Oscar, come over, sausage, give me each sausage.”

  Zhao Wuji’s voice was somewhat fuzzy, also it’s no wonder he would be like this, although he relying on pure spirit power to compel the poison not to spread, in a flash by the poison hitting, his tongue was still swelling.

  Oscar blinked at him with those peach blossom eyes,

  “Who are you, ah? How did you enter our Shrek Academy, and still know my name.”

  “Scoundrel, you want to receive punishment? I am Zhao Wuji.”

  From Zhao Wuji’s anger, a mouthful of air almost didn’t come up, narrowly spouted blood.

  Part 2

  At present this loss eater shouted loudly, he currently only wanted to quickly treat the injuries on his body well, after that acting threatening before several children must not get out. Otherwise he this Motionless Bright King later would be unable to get along.

  “Eh……”

  Oscar very much wanted to ask Zhao Wuji how he would become like this, what Zhao Wuji’s actual strength was he could be very clear. But he very quickly saw Dai Mubai giving him a meaningful glance, as an extremely acute person, Oscar immediately withdrew the astonishment on his face, as if it had never been there, groveling coming before Zhao Wuji, handing over that sausage he took out just a moment ago, simultaneously chanting an incantation making everyone present not know whether to laugh or cry.

  “I your father have a little sausage.”

  Even if Oscar himself did not look so wretched, as this spirit incantation of his appeared, whether being wretched could no longer be significant..
