Douluo Dalu - Volume 04 - Shrek Seven Devils Page 7

  As Tang San and Xiao Wu walked out from the two against two spirit fight area, Dai Mubai’s group had also already finished their spirit fights, today could be said to be to everyone’s delight and satisfaction: apart from Zhu Zhuqing’s defeat by Tang San, the others all obtained spirit fight victories. Thanks to two spirit fights, Tang San and Xiao Wu each obtained two points and twenty gold coins in winnings.

  “The dean?”

  Tang San asked Dai Mubai.

  Dang Mubai helplessly said.

  “Heaven knows where he want, he made clear that after we finished the spirit fights we are to go back first.”

  While the five walked out from the spirit fights, they could again and again hear the sounds of acclaim. In todays spirit fights, although they could not be said to have profited much, Tang San still felt he had profited not little from this kind of lethal combat.

  Especially the one battle with the Tie brothers let him see Tool Spirits’ formidable power. Every kind of spirit all had its own characteristics, as long as it was used appropriately, all could reach maximum effect.

  Talking about strength, he and Xiao Wu were clearly above the opponents, but because they somewhat underestimated the enemy they almost suffered defeat. In Tang San’s mind he couldn’t help but remember what Grandmaster once said, ‘in battles between Spirit Masters, one first of all must feel clearly the opponents ability, if unable to do so, then, everything must be treated in the most cautious manner.’ Even if it was the lowest ranked Spirit Master, they might still possess a deadly spirit ability.

  “You return first. Just now the dean said to have me go to his shop.”

  Ma Hongjun suddenly said. In the pair of small eyes flickered a somewhat excited light.

  Dai Mubai’s face showed an expression like a smile yet not a smile,

  “Then we will return first, you take it a bit easy.”

  “Boss Dai, aren’t you coming?”

  “I’m not, don’t speak nonsense, quickly leave.”

  Dai Mubai snappily glared at him, out of the corners of his eyes glancing at Zhu Zhuqing.

  Fatty’s reaction was clearly somewhat slow, without making out the meaning in Dai Mubai’s eyes, his plump face blushing somewhat because of excitement,

  “Come on, let’s go together. Did you not say women women are a natural resource of population?”

  Dai Mubai was finally unable to show restraint,

  “Quickly get lost. My taste is not as lacking as yours.”

  Ma Hongjun snorted somewhat discontentedly, but confronting the flickering fury in Dai Mubai’s evil eyes, he opened his mouth, in the end he did not dare confront this Evil Eye White Tiger with words, and turned around and left.

  “Boss Dai, what is that lewd Fatty going to do?”

  Xiao Wu asked.

  Dai Mubai laughed out loud, saying:

  “You all say he is lewd, what can he do, Evil Fire can’t be suppressed constantly.”

  Xiao Wu snapped:

  “Again going to harm girls? I truly wonder whether that spirit transformation of his isn’t related to his natural disposition.”

  Dai Mubai said:

  “Harming is out of the question, don’t you know this world has a kind of places called brothels?”

  Tang San somewhat not daring to believe said:

  “You are saying, the dean will bring Ma Hongjun to go to that kind of place?”

  He had heard of brothels in his past life, and naturally knew what places those were.

  Dai Mubai said:

  “This also is a matter that can’t be helped. Ma Hongjun’s spirit apart from that defect is among one of the most powerful among Beast Spirits, he is also considered to be the dean’s direct disciple, he can’t have him give up cultivation forever or see his body burst and die.”

  Zhu Zhuqing made a rare comment,

  “Men all are filthy.”

  Xiao Wu giggled, saying:

  “Little sister Zhuqing, your attack must not be too wide, oh, Tang San is certainly very neat. By no means like those kinds of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.”

  Dai Mubai snappily said:

  “Fine, your Tang little San is clear as ice and clean as jade, we are all filthy, alright. Compared to Fatty my tastes are much better.”

  Xiao Wu immediately assumed a mimicking appearance, watching Dai Mubai in a burst of angry suffering helplessly shake his head. As he furtively glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, he discovered Zhu Zhuqing was already looking at him, only the light in her eyes seemed even more ice cold. The young miss snorted, suddenly walking up in front of Dai Mubai,

  “Your tastes are better than whose?”

  Dai Mubai stared blankly a moment, not knowing how he should respond,

  “Zhuqing, I……”

  He currently already became aware that his words were mistaken, if tastes were better than Fatty, didn’t that say he just faced a different kind of women from that particular occupation? Whether senior or junior, whether phoenix in grass nest or courtesan, what was the difference between anyone dealing with the industry?

  Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes suddenly brimmed with disdain and contempt,

  “You are fifteen years old? You make me sick.”

  Saying so, she turned around and left.

  Part 2

  Ever since Zhu Zhuqing arrived at Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai had continuously repressed himself, tolerating her. Right now, the always cold and arrogant him could no longer suppress his innermost fury,

  “You stop right there.”

  Zhu Zhuqing did not pay him any attention, and not only didn’t stop walking, on the contrary increased her pace.

  “You……”

  Dai Mubai fiercely raised his right hand, intense white light in the centre of his palm. He had never had a good temperament, or rather, his temperament was more irritable than that of any other person. However, in the end he still endured it, the white light in his palm did not flash, his mouth issuing a tiger-like hissing gasp, then just followed behind Zhu Zhuqing back towards the Academy.

  Xiao Wu blinked, in a low voice asking Tang San:

  “What’s going on with them?”

  Tang San shook his head,

  “I also don’t know. From what I saw on that day with the enrollment, Dai Mubai should be not familiar with Zhu Zhuqing from before. But he seems a bit different towards Zhu Zhuqing. Could it truly only be because of the possibility of their spirits being compatible stirring the harmonisation ability? Forget about it, we still shouldn’t poke around in other peoples’ personal matters.”

  Xiao Wu raised her hand and touched Tang San’s stomach, Tang San was startled by her,

  “What are you doing?”

  Xiao Wu’s eyes were slightly red rimmed,

  “Does it still hurt? All because of me, you were injured.”

  Tang San at this came to himself, she was pointing to his injury. Faintly smiling he shook his head,

  “No matter, as big brother I can’t be so frail, let’s go, we’ll quickly catch up, they are both almost out of sight.”

  As they returned to the Shrek Academy, outside the Academy gate they were astonished to find two people.

  Tonight’s moonlight was very good. With the aid of moonlight, they immediately recognized Oscar and Ning Rongrong waiting for them here.

  Ning Rongrong’s mood looked to already have returned to normal, on her beautiful little cheeks once again hung a smiling expression, sitting on the big stone above the Academy gate, swinging her legs, with a somewhat thoughtful expression.

  But Oscar’s expression just seemed somewhat unsightly, brows slightly wrinkled, from time to time furtively glancing at Ning Rongrong, the expression in his eyes revealing a somewhat reluctant light.

  Zhu Zhuqing as if she did not see the two people, immediately entered the Academy, and without turning her head headed directly towards her dorm.

  Dai Mubai frowned, the chill in his evil eyes even more powerful.

  “What are you doing here?”
/>
  Light flickered in Dai Mubai’s evil eyes, coldly speaking.

  Ning Rongrong hopped down from the overhead stone,

  “Waiting for you of course. How come you return so late? And the dean and Fatty?”

  Dai Mubai coldly replied,

  “They are occupied. Have you figured it out? Staying or leaving?”

  Ning Rongrong without the slightest hesitation said:

  “Of course it’s staying, this place is too interesting. How could I stay away. What’s with your expression, are you a jiangshi[ (僵尸) A Chinese zombie, or hopping corpse.]? Were you beaten by Zhuqing there? Haha, Oscar said you are some expert level lover, can’t even handle a young miss.”

  Ning Rongrong did not again cover up her liberated nature. From childhood she had been highly intelligent, and saw very many things from Dai Mubai’s expression, not in the least hesitating to make fun of him.

  Dai Mubai’s evil eyes held a cold light,

  “Ning Rongrong. Don’t provoke my patience. This is Shrek Academy, not your home, other people may fear you at Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, but I Dai Mubai don’t. Provoking me, take care I don’t rape and kill you, then do it all over.”

  Ning Rongrong giggled, saying:

  “I’m really scared, ah!”

  Deliberately sticking out her still developing little chest.

  “Come on, let me see how you rape me.”

  “You……”

  Dai Mubai in the end was unable to suppress his fury, ‘if the White Tiger does not reveal its power, you will truly consider me a sick cat.’ Intensely angry power abruptly surged out, spirit power erupting in a flash, Ning Rongrong’s body practically in a split second was thrown away by the shock.

  Oscar in a rush advanced a step, about to catch Ning Rongrong, but himself fell butt first on the ground from the impulse.

  “Mubai.”

  Tang San took an obstructing step in front of Ning Rongrong, both hands held at either side, using Controlling Crane Catching Dragon energy, sending out Dai Mubai’s spirit power to either side.

  “Everyone are fellow students. Let it be.”

  Even though Dai Mubai only released spirit power, without launching any attack, the shock to Tang San who was already internally injured made his blood and breath roil. In his heart secretly shocked, this perhaps was Dai Mubai’s genuine power, thirty seventh ranked spirit power indeed was much more powerful than his own.

  Ning Rongrong from childhood till now, at what time had she been humiliated like this, she had not expected Dai Mubai to actually truly dare touch her. Although she had not truly been injured, the soreness over her entire body still told her this was entirely real, for a moment tears surrounded the edges of her eyes, rigidly staring speechless at Dai Mubai.

  Dai Mubai looked at Tang San in the way before him, and slowly spit out a mouthful of turbid qi, the spirit power on his body restraining within,

  “Fine, little San, I’ll let you save face.”

  His evil eyes shot Ning Rongrong a cold glance,

  “You remember my words well, this isn’t your home, don’t provoke me again, otherwise, I won’t consider your status.”

  Leaving these words behind, he started off with big strides, heading straight inside the Academy.

  “Tang San.”

  Ning Rongrong wiping the tears from her eyes, suddenly called out Tang San’s name loudly.

  Tang San suppressed the discomfort within his body, turning to look at her.

  Ning Rongrong ferociously said:

  “I’ll hire you to kill him, use those unusual weapons of yours to kill him. As long as you do it, afterwards you are our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School’s honored guest, I’ll give you money, ten thousand gold spirit coins, how about it? Furthermore afterwards the unconditional backing of Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.”

  If the person now standing there was an ordinary Spirit Master, they would certainly be sorely tempted. Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School’s backing, the meaning of these several words had what kind of significance. As one of this world’s seven great families, the power which Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School possessed was hard to imagine. Any Spirit Master with their backing could rise high on Douluo Continent. Especially to the kind of genius like Tang San, having the backing of this kind of tremendous influence, one obtained incalculable advantages.

  Tang San unhurriedly walked in front of Ning Rongrong, looking deeply at her,

  “Ning Rongrong, in this world, there are some things that money and influence cannot buy. This Academy, is still only an Academy. We are all students. If you continue to have this kind of attitude and the feeling of being up high brought by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, then, I urge you to still leave this place.”

  “You……, don’t you know how powerful our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School is?”

  Ning Rongrong was unwilling to look at him.

  Tang San calmly smiled, as a person of two lives, how could he not be able to figure out this twelve years old girl before him,

  “What do I know? What don’t I know? Does this have any relation to you? Xiao Wu, let’s go.”

  With a somewhat regretful shake of the head, Tang San and Xiao Wu also walked into the Academy.

  Looking at their departing silhouettes, Ning Rongrong’s entire person was rigid, if speaking of Dai Mubai’s strength making her angry, then, the pitying expression in Tang San’s eyes as he left provoked her even more.

  From childhood until now, she had all along grown up in the cupped palms of Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School’s bigshots, the thinking in her heart had long ago formed, but today, one after another receiving three powerful provocations, made her suddenly question, ‘why are they all like this to me? Am I actually in the wrong?’

  “Oscar.”

  How could Ning Rongrong want to be convinced the mistake was hers, turning around to look towards just now crawling from the ground to stand up Oscar.

  “Don’t you want to help me?”

  Oscar’s peach blossom eyes revealed a faint disappointment,

  “When I first saw you, you made me feel like a celestial being. I believe that after you grow up, you will certainly be a stunning beauty. And also, I was most fond of the gentleness you showed at that time. Therefore, I decide to pursue you regardless, even if I only come from a common family and you are a child of Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, I still did not care. But, I discovered I was wrong. Moreover outrageously wrong.”

  “Wrong? Why?”

  Ning Rongrong looked at him without understanding.

  Oscar smiled faintly,

  “Because you are not at all my type. You can’t make me ignore the entire forest for that tree. I can’t match up to Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School’s little princess. How could I help you even if I wanted to? What person do you take me for? Your servant, nothing more. Sorry, I still do better on my own. I think, at Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School you would have very many people wanting to help you, need not run short of someone like me.”

  He already knew clearly, before the others’ return, Oscar already deeply sensed Ning Rongrong’s flawed nature. Even though they all still were young, Oscar also had more than one girlfriend. Including Tang San, of all the new students who still did not know that Oscar, apart from that unusual spirit of his, his mind just was even more frightening.

  As an intelligent person, when fully aware of the matter how would he choose? Facing the difficult path? No, he was not that stubborn, at times giving up just was the best alternative.

  Watching Oscar also head inside the Academy, Ning Rongrong not resigned shouted:

  “Do you not like me? Even you aren’t willing to support me?”

  Oscar halted, without turning his head,

  “What Tang San said just now was right, if you still have this kind of attitude and disposition, leave this place. This truly does not suit you. Only, with you like this, the word ‘friend’ will forever be an extravag
ant hope for you.”

  Part 3

  Oscar had left. Loneliness, helplessness, frustration, pain, every kind of feeling continuously shocked Ning Rongrong’s only twelve year old heart, teardrops silently falling, she suddenly discovered, perhaps she truly was in the wrong. Had she had friends? Those other children her age at the School, on seeing her would bow and scrape, or hide in the distance. Behind her back they called her the little she-devil.

  Friends, only was an extravagant hope? No, no, no, Ning Rongrong suddenly felt a kind of powerful panic inundate her heart. This one night, to her, inevitable was a sleepless night.

  Very many years later, as Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Ning Rongrong recalled the matters of her youth, she told her children, she once had a night, in all her life the most painful night, that caused the most significant change in her life.

  Early morning.

  Tang San awoke clearheaded to undergo cultivation, every morning cultivating Purple Demon Eye had already formed a part of his biological clock.

  Today Oscar hadn’t gone back to sleep but was instead cultivating, only he still hadn’t awoken, Tang San softly and quietly left the dorm, moving onto the rooftop, beginning his necessary daily cultivation.

  After one night’s rest, the internal injuries he sustained yesterday were already mostly well, and although his internal organs still ached somewhat dully, already it could not be considered serious, another one or two days and he would completely recover.

  While cultivating Purple Demon Eye, in Tang San’s mind appeared the events of yesterday’s fight with the two brothers Tie Long and Tie Hu. Especially the two brothers’ final attack.

  Spirits leaving the hand, pursuing the opponent to attack, focusing full power into one hit. Their spirit power was obviously lower than his, but could make him sustain injuries, if he had been struck head on, he might still have suffered heavy injuries. Even if that was the Tie brothers’ spirit ability, with this technique it didn’t seem too difficult to accomplish. He similarly also had a Hammer, if this kind of attack method also could be used with his Hammer, what effect might it have?
