Douluo Dalu - Volume 01-48 Read online

  If saying of the boy looked gentle and ordinary, then, the girl at his side looked not as common.

  Silky smooth black long hair combed out into a neat scorpion braid, even though it was a braid, it still hung down to her lower back, compared to that boy she must still be a little bit taller, wearing small pink clothes, tightly covering a figure already begun developing, if speaking of chest still said to be inadequately developed, but her slender small waist could cause countless women envy.

  Tall and slender taut legs wrapped up in trousers, perfect golden ratio proportion, even though her age appeared not old, her face was still childish, but a perfectly round little buttocks were already somewhat hinted at.

  The natural shape of curved eyebrows, a pair of bright and intelligent big eyes matching a somewhat round soft and fair little face, not only pretty, also giving people a somewhat charming feeling, the word lovely seemingly made to measure her. That boy standing at her side, was long ago concealed by her intangible radiance.

  The girl raised her hand, wiping her slightly moist forehead, and somewhat grumbling said:

  “Finally reached this Suotuo City. I truly don’t know how Grandmaster thought, obviously quite a few intermediate spirit master academies expressed they would unconditionally recruit us, yet he asked you to come take the examination here at that not even separating grades worn down academy.”

  The boy smiled slightly, saying:

  “Teacher asked me to come take the examination, but did not ask you to come, who asked you to insist on following. Fortunately Balak Kingdom borders on Fasinuo Region, if not wouldn’t you have to be complaining even more?”

  The girl stared coldly at the boy,

  “Truly without conscience, everything is not for your sake. Who asked you to be my big brother? Anyway the day after tomorrow we can take the examination. No matter what, you must accompany me to play in Suotuo City for these two days, make good the injuries to my young and small heart.”

  The boy couldn’t help but laugh and said:

  “The formidable Nuoding academy’s supreme sister for six years in a row, still has a young and small heart? Let those younger brothers of yours see that, I do not know whether they would immediately go jump into the river.”

  This boy and girl, were exactly Tang San and Xiao Wu from Nuoding primary spirit master academy.

  Five years’ time had passed, and they at long last successfully graduated from Nuoding primary spirit master academy. Of course with their talents, Nuoding academy intended to recommend they immediately enter intermediate spirit master academy, even to the extent of having several famous academies issue invitation letters, giving an abundance of places to choose from.

  But Grandmaster demanded Tang San turn down the invitations, and go to this south Suotuo City place known as Shrek Academy to enter for examination.

  Six years of instruction, regarding Grandmaster, Tang San long ago already respected him like a father, let alone understanding him, what Grandmaster asked him to do this it was certainly for his good. Therefore, he complied without the slightest hesitation.

  Over the past six years, Tang San and Xiao Wu’s relationship long ago became close like blood siblings; if Tang San chose here, then Xiao Wu naturally also followed.

  When leaving the academy, Grandmaster told Tang San he must go to the imperial capital, then afterward would come find them.

  The six years in Nuoding, was to Tang San an extremely rich six years: morning classes, afternoon work, evening cultivation, practically without free time. At twelve years old he already no longer resembled that originally frail look. Working in the smithy every day, gave him a healthy and strong physique, although looking at him he could not be considered majestic, the body covered by the fresh clothing was full of explosive force muscle.

  Xiao Wu pouting said:

  “Regardless, do you promise?”

  Tang San laughed, saying:

  “As you want. Only, having travelled so far, aren’t you tired? We should first find a place to stay and speak again. Also it’s almost noon, so eat first, right.”

  Xiao Wu smiling said:

  “This is just about right.”

  Tang San very rarely went against her words. Ever since the two people established a sibling relationship, he all along took care of her like a big brother, although he was very busy, the unexpectedly displayed consideration still gave Xiao Wu a pleasurable kind of feeling.

  Suotuo City compared to Nuoding City must be much bigger, and naturally also must be much livelier. On the street, everywhere could be seen patrolling soldiers, a bustling stream of people were passing by nonstop.

  The two first simply ate some small things, and afterwards looked for a place to stay. Soon Xiao Wu discovered a very unique hotel.

  The hotel was three floors tall, and although the size could not be considered too large, the exterior adornment was completely rose red, the entire hotel building style was like an enormous rose, very easily able to give people looking at it a certain feeling.

  “Rose Hotel. Little San, we’ll stay here.”

  Xiao Wu pointed.

  Tang San unnecessarily said:

  “I hear you.”

  Working these several years, adding to the stipend given by Spirit Hall, he by now could be considered as having some savings. Xiao Wu never cared about amounts of money, spending extravagantly, so in order to not let her overspend, she simply let Tang San hold her income, letting him put it away. Having him control some, she still could save a little.

  Walking into the Rose Hotel, the first sensation was a smell of rose fragrance, a scent penetrating deeply into the heart and bringing a somewhat hidden warmth feeling, making people’s hearts free from worry.

  The interior decorations of the hotel only had three kinds of color: white, silver and rose red, warm and unique, very easily giving people a good feeling.

  Tang San walked up before the counter,

  “Trouble you to give us two rooms.”

  The clerk behind the counter hastily stood up, taking a look at Tang San, again looking at Xiao Wu, eyes revealing some envious light,

  “Sir, must it truly definitely be two rooms?”

  Tang San nodded,

  “Is something wrong?”

  The clerk’s eyes showed some uncertainty,

  “I’m sorry, we only have one room remaining here.”

  Part 3

  “One room?”

  Tang San frowned, as a two lifetimes person, the little time sharing a bed with Xiao Wu did not feel significant, but after all by now these two had gradually both gotten grown up figures, he could still very clearly remember the words about no direct contact between men and women.

  The clerk said with emphasis,

  “Yes, ah, only one. However you be at ease, all our rooms are very big, and the facilities have everything one might expect, more than sufficient for staying two people.”

  Speaking, he also gave towards Tang San an expression that could only be sensed and not explained in words. Of course, Tang San was unable to make sense of it.

  Xiao Wu said with a big grin:

  “That one room is fine. When we were at Nuoding, didn’t we always stay in the same dormitory? Like this. We can still save a little money to buy beautiful clothes.”

  Tang San couldn’t help but shake his head, he was not an obstinate person, at worst he would sleep on the floor, at night would also cultivate, that could be the best sleep.

  “Fine, I’ll trouble you to give me this room.”

  Just when the clerk was helping Tang San put in order the formalities, a voice out of nowhere interrupted the clerk’s actions.

  “I say, this room should belong to me, right.”

  Tang San and Xiao Wu simultaneously turned around to look, only to find three people appeared behind them, walking over towards the counter.

  These three people were one man and two women. The two girls gorgeously dressed, looking to be seventeen or eighteen years old, f
igures tall and slender, compared to Xiao Wu still must be a bit taller, but what caused the most surprise, their features were unexpectedly exactly alike, they were actually twins.

  But, Tang San’s gaze did not fall on those two stunning beauties, what attracted his attention was the man walking in the middle.

  The man was about one metre eighty tall, compared to him would be half a head taller, appearing not old, even to the extent that he must be a bit younger than the two young women behind him, broad shoulders, features handsome and somewhat resolute, a head of long golden hair unrolling behind him, falling down nearly to his waist. His hair did not curl, and hung straight down.

  Most eye catching were his eyes, those were a pair of evil eyes, both eyes unexpectedly had twin pupils, within the deep blue eyes was a very cold gaze, a kind of icy cold evolving from the depths of the heart, an evil light glimmering between half open eyelids, under his gaze, the whole body felt like cut by a sharp sword.

  With extremely handsome features matching this kind of pair of eyes, this kind of man, regardless of where would be a focus of people’s attention.

  He was very powerful, this was Tang San’s first thought after seeing this person.

  The twin young women held the arms of that twin pupil man, he also took no notice of Tang San, his gaze after sweeping across Xiao Wu’s body, flashed out a trace of astonished light, but this was only a passing glimmer, nothing more.

  Walking up before the counter, looking at the clerk, the youth said:

  “You are newly arrived, right. Unaware to nevertheless leave one room here for me?”

  The clerk was stunned a moment, and probingly asked:

  “You are?”

  The twin pupil man somewhat impatiently said:

  “Call out your manager.”

  The clerk under the twin pupil man’s gaze, heart felt a peal of cold, hurriedly went in back to call his superior.

  Tang San coolly said:

  “Elder brother, seems we were here first.”

  The twin pupil man did not even turn his head, only coldly said:

  “So what?”

  He habitually did not face people explaining.

  Tang San’s temperament was considered mild, but Xiao Wu could not that well be bullied, in a flash she already came to Tang San’s side,

  “No how, so you scram.”

  The twin pupil man finally turned, ice-cold evil gaze falling on Xiao Wu, nodding,

  “Very good, for a very long time there was nobody who dared speak like this to me. Your bodies also have spirit power fluctuations, should be spirit masters. Then you together, if strike me I will immediately leave, otherwise, you please demonstrate at once this scramming.”

  Hearing the words of the twin pupil man, the twin young women at his side couldn’t help but have silly smiles, appearing to have not a bit of worry, cutely letting go of the twin pupil man’s arms, retreating to one side.

  Just at this time, that previous clerk already brought out a middle aged man from the back, he had obviously heard the twin pupil man’s dialogue with Tang San and Xiao Wu, face wearing an anxious expression,

  “Let me speak, let me speak, by no means fight.”

  The twin pupil man gave him an oblique look,

  “Manager Wang, you are currently more willing to do business, ah?”

  Manager Wang wiped the sweat on his head, with a smile said:

  “Young master Dai, by all means do not say so, it’s all a no good subordinate, this kid just came yesterday, unaware of the rules, please excuse me, please excuse me. I will immediately arrange a room for you.”

  Speaking, he turned his head towards Tang San and Xiao Wu, his whole face apologetic saying:

  “I beg your pardon, two visitors. That room was booked by young master Dai, please choose another store.”

  If it was according to Tang San’s temper, he would let it be. With so many hotels, he did not care about changing stores. But Xiao Wu’s temperament was motivated by a desire to see the world in chaos and would not so easily compromise.

  “We will not yield, so what? Bloody snobby creatures. Do not think we will be bullied because we’re young.”

  Young master Dai snorted coldly,

  “Even if you wanted to yield it is also not so easy, cursing me, wanting to leave can’t happen.”

  “Young master Dai, young master Dai, you……”

  Manager Wang was greatly anxious, face had a pleading expression.

  Young master Dai’s eyes held a fierce light,

  “Less nonsense. Consider all damages on me.”

  Used to being regarded as Nuoding academy’s big sister leader, Xiao Wu seeing the other side with this kind of arrogant expression, was immediately about to rush out and hit.

  Tang San caught Xiao Wu’s shoulder,

  “Leave it to me.”

  Xiao Wu discontentedly said:

  “Why? I will do it myself, I will hit him so his even mom doesn’t recognize him.”

  Tang San wrinkled his brow, saying:

  “As a girl, your language should be a bit neater. Did you forget what I said before, I will always protect you. This is a matter between men.”

  He did not let Xiao Wu go fight, first because he felt the other side was formidable, fearing Xiao Wu would come to harm. Second, if they really lost, he would rather be humiliated himself, could not let Xiao Wu be humiliated by the other side.

  Part 4

  Hearing the words ‘I will always protect you’, Xiao Wu’s indignant expression relaxed, looking at Tang San she said:

  “Then you be careful.”

  “No need to argue, I said, you two together.”

  Young master Dai said impatiently.

  Tang San free from conceit and arrogance took two steps forward,

  “Kindly advise me.”

  Young master Dai with an evil light in his eyes, right fist suddenly lifted, accompanying a frontal rush, going straight for a strike at Tang San’s chest. His movements were very simple, without any flourishes, but Tang San’s expression changed. Because the opponent’s fist’s momentum in a flash already reached the peak effect of physical force and speed. Without plentiful combat experience how could this bit also be possible.

  This time Tang San could in no way retreat, the opponent’s momentum could thereupon suddenly rise, so only would cause this fist’s power to further increase. Therefore, he not only did not retreat, on the contrary moved forward. Right foot in a flash advancing a step, this step cut across as much as three metres, immediately drawing close to his opponent, Tang San’s goal was very simple, he must disrupt the opponent’s offensive rhythm.

  Similarly wielding his right fist, Tang San’s hand in an eye blink became smooth and milky white like jade.

  With a muffled peng sound, young master Dai’s forward rushing body came to a sudden stop, but Tang San uncontrolledly had to withdraw four or five steps backward to be able to come to a stop.

  Young master Dai’s eyes revealed an astonished light, he clearly had not thought this before him that looked like compared to him still must be several years younger junior would be able to stop his fist.

  Making young master Dai most astonished was Tang San’s fist, in attack power he clearly held the advantage, but currently his right hand ached to the point of splitting apart, Tang San’s fist seemed to be as hard as copper moulded on cast iron.

  Would Tang San not also be astonished? One must know, his fist not only included Mysterious Heaven skill internal strength, but his physical power in itself also did not in any way match his age, working as a blacksmith for years made his physical strength far above the average person, adding onto Mysterious Jade Hand’s properties, three great advantages mixing, and he still lost.

  The opponent’s physical power was very strong, but not that that kind of fierce strength, rather a condensed strength, as if all the physical power he possessed was condensed into the size of a fist, in a flash erupting in a shocking force that already cau
sed the qi and blood in Tang San’s body to roil.

  “Good. Able to receive my fist, you have the qualifications to be my opponent.”

  Young master Dai coldly shouted, body again put into action. This time, his attack was not so simple: his entire person flew forward, instantly already reaching Tang San, four limbs bizarrely spreading open, looking like the whole body up and down was full of openings, but his four limbs all moved slightly, seemingly having boundless later moves.

  Tang San’s expression already became extremely imposing, both knees slightly bent, toes simultaneously buckling in, left arm from outside circling in, right arm from inside pushing out, adopting a very peculiar posture.

  This strike of young master Dai’s could be said to be the unique skill that made his name, regardless of how the opponent tried to resist the attack, he had many methods to respond, within the seemingly full of openings movements was contained a profound attack technique, all four limbs could turn into weapons.

  But when his attack was ready to unfold, unexpectedly, an intangible force came through from underneath. That power seemed very tenacious, without any powerful force of impact, but pure toughness. Young master Dai was in mid-air with nowhere to borrow force, so only felt his body to his surprise forcibly brought to deviate from his original course by that force, falling to one side, his attack naturally lost its aim.

  What was this force? The amazed thought flashed past in young master Dai’s mind. But his fighting experience was extremely abundant, with a tiger waist twist in mid-air, body revolving sideways all the way around, he firmly landed on the ground.

  But at this time, Tang San’s attack started. He chose just the right moment, exactly in the moment young master Dai’s legs touched down, which was also when it was the most difficult to issue strength.

  Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, looking like three disjointed steps, Tang San already reached young master Dai’s side, both palms simultaneously clapping out, moving towards young master Dai’s both shoulders.
