Douluo Dalu - Volume 15 - Illusion Breaking Demon Eye Read online

  The pillar of condensed rainbow-colored light spread in a flash. In an eyeblink it had filled the whole arena, all kinds of gem light spreading from within. That dazzling light didn’t seem to have any attack power, but the audience in the stands were already completely attracted, a dazzled and stunned feeling making a lot of ordinary people bewildered.

  Shrek Academy’s team of seven still hadn’t moved, because Tang San didn’t let them.

  But they had also changed somewhat. Besides Tang San, the other six now all had their eyes closed. Their formation had also changed, unexpectedly somewhat imitating the opponents, six people standing in a circle with Tang San at the center, watching that seven colored light approach.

  “Shrek Academy fools, you should feel honored, because you will be the first opponents to taste our Seven Asura Dreamland. Die from your own pain. Goodbye.”

  The seven colored light suddenly expanded, instantly covering the whole stage. The stage was round, as was that seven colored light pillar. At this moment, that soaring light practically lit up the whole stadium.

  The indistinct luster was brimming with a bizarre atmosphere.

  The Shrek Academy team’s seven had already been completely enveloped, or perhaps it should be called swallowed.

  The entire audience was absolutely mute, and the commentator in the VIP seats was even more unable to say a single word. From the start of the competition, who could have anticipated something like this? Even the four matches to the sides halted.

  That seven colored beam of light was really too dazzling. Not just these competing students, but even the coaching teachers were unable to hide their shock.

  Was this really a match between academies? Even Spirit Hall’s Continental Spirit Master Ranking Competitions shouldn’t have something like this?

  Not just emperor Xue Ye thought of the name ‘seven spirit fusion ability’, but the others who did lacked a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School master to explain it to them.

  With circumstances reversed, the seven colored pillar of light became a symbol, the symbol for the sudden rise of Blue Sunshine Academy.

  Even though the match still hadn’t ended, those tremendous spirit power fluctuations changed the way all spectating Spirit Masters looked at the battle.

  And the audience’s way of looking at it was even more direct. That tremendous and dazzling light was the most magnificent since the start of the competition. Even though a lot of people inwardly supported Shrek Academy, spectators were after all spectators, only figures of power could remain in their hearts.

  Right now, not only didn’t anyone cheer for Shrek Academy, but a lot of people even silently contemplated Blue Sunshine Academy’s name.

  What was a seven spirit fusion ability? Wasn’t it the formidable ability launched by the completely integrated spirits of seven people? This was a legendary formidable spirit ability. It was also a major reason why Ning Fengzhi said it had never been seen.

  Consider, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing using the spirit fusion ability was already enough to completely reverse heaven and earth against an equally matched opponent. Grandmaster, Flender and Liu Erlong’s trinity spirit fusion ability had made them world famous.

  And if it truly was a spirit fusion ability used by seven people?

  What kind of amplification would that be?

  Even if Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School master Ning Fengzhi launched his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda effect with all his strength, he would still be inferior. Enough to kill any Title Douluo.

  If that truly was a seven spirit fusion ability, then, there would be no need to continue with this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. Let alone the participating academy teams, even veteran Spirit Masters wouldn’t stand a chance.

  Unless it was a team of three or more Title Douluo, who would dare say they could prevail over that kind of legendary spirit ability?

  Indeed, it was a divine ability. Seven spirit fusion ability was publicly recognized in the Spirit Master world as a divine ability.

  In the stands for the competing academies, Flender and Liu Erlong were already on their feet. Liu Erlong was somewhat better, but Flender anxiously wanted to rush out, even rush onto the stage.

  “Flender, calm down.”

  Grandmaster exerted himself to grab Flender’s arm.

  Flender furiously said:

  “Calm down your farts! Don’t you see that’s a seven spirit fusion ability? This thing can’t be controlled so easily. Don’t tell me you want to let little San and the others die? At worst we’ll give up on the tournament, but we have to save them first.”

  Grandmaster curled his lip,

  “Flender, what do you take a seven spirit fusion ability for? If it could be casually used by seven people, how could it be called a divine ability? Even though Blue Sunshine Academy’s seven students are pretty good, it’s still far from enough to use this kind of divine ability. What they’re using is only a seven fusion ability. Blue Sunshine Academy really is lucky to find seven students whose spirits fit so well.”

  Flender looked distracted a moment,

  “Seven fusion ability? Isn’t that the same?”

  Grandmaster smiled calmly, pulling him back in his seat,

  “Oh, Flender. Ignorance isn’t scary, what’s scary is not knowing your ignorance. Seven fusion ability and seven spirit fusion ability are as far apart as heaven and earth. One relies on the fit of each person’s spirit ability to fuse, one is the complete fusion of spirits, a sublime divine ability. Could those be the same?”

  Right now Flender couldn’t take Grandmaster teasing him, and questioned closer:

  “Then can little San and the others resist it?”

  Grandmaster shook his head,

  “Even though the seven fusion ability by far can’t compare to the seven spirit fusion ability, it can still combine the strength of seven people to launch an omnidirectional attack. Even though it looks like seven against seven, as long as the control is enough, it will even give little San and the others the feeling of each fighting seven against one. Under ordinary circumstances, with the strength and teamwork of the seven on stage now, it would be very difficult to resist.”

  Flender cursed in rage,

  “Isn’t that the same result? Don’t you know that little San and the others had a conflict with Blue Sunshine Academy? If those Blue Sunshine brats were allowed to do as they wished, do you think they would let little San and Mubai and the others off easily?”

  Without waiting for Grandmaster to speak up, Liu Erlong to the side also sat back down in her seat, embracing Grandmaster’s arm, smiling:

  “Boss Fu, don’t you see? If there was danger, Xiao Gang would be even more anxious than you. He regards little San as a son. Look at his expression. He’s clearly playing with you.”

  What was called confused out of concern, Flender, always astute, came to his senses at Liu Erlong’s reminder. Grabbing Grandmaster’s neck, he said fiercely:

  “Tell me the truth quickly, will little San and the others be in any danger?”

  Liu Erlong swatted away Flender’s hand,

  “How will he speak if you’re choking him, don’t be impulsive. If you break him, I’ll stake my life to beat you.”

  Finished saying this, she couldn’t keep a giggle from escaping.

  Grandmaster held Liu Erlong’s hand, leisurely saying:

  “If it was another seven fusion ability, perhaps it would be very difficult for little San and the others to resist, depending on how much fighting strength they could issue. But these seven Blue Sunshine Academy students still aren’t capable of that. Flender, didn’t you see their cultivation direction?”

  “Of course I saw, they’re all control system Spirit Masters. How’s that related?”

  Grandmaster indifferently said:

  “It’s greatly related. It’s just because they’re control system Spirit Masters that I can say they can’t do it. Since you saw they followed the control sys
tem route, didn’t you see what kind of control?”

  Flender finally came to himself,

  “You’re saying…… But can little San and the others really resist?”

  Grandmaster shot him a sideways glance,

  “You must trust the professionals.”

  Flender rolled his eyes,

  “Alright, I already know you’re the symbol of Spirit Master world professionals. But if the little monsters have any accidents, I’ll come looking for you.”

  Part 2 (TL by Bagelson)

  Right now the situation at the center of the stage was invisible to everyone. All that could be seen was that dazzling seven-colored pillar of light.

  Tang San stood quietly in place as the opponent’s voice echoed from all directions,

  “You’re too naive, do you think closing your eyes can block our Seven Asura Dreamland? We’ve already waited far, far too long for this day. Endure the filthiest world you can imagine. Your repressed feelings will leave you especially suffering, until you go insane, this is the price you pay for insulting us. Don’t worry, we’ll go easy, we’ll leave you alive.”

  Apart from Tang San, the other Shrek Academy members still had their eyes closed. Tang San sighed lightly, indifferently saying:

  “The naive ones should be you. Do you believe such a simple illusion can trap us? Compared to Shi Nian’s Nightmare, your seven fusion ability is still quite lacking.”

  Indeed, even though this seven fusion ability would appear magnificently dazzling, and right now all kinds of illusions had already begun to rise from everyone's hearts, compared to when Shi Nian tried to assassinate Tang San, this dreamland spirit ability of theirs was too artless. Essentially lacking.

  The seven colored light shuddered once, and even the illusions at the depths of everyone’s minds became somewhat vague. Clearly, Tang San’s words had been a full hit to the opponents.

  “You…… Where is teacher Shi Nian?”

  Even though he couldn’t be seen, they could tell from the voice that Blue Sunshine Academy’s captain was anxious.

  Tang San said indifferently:

  “You’re his students, want to find him? I won’t give you the chance. Don’t worry, I’ll go easy. I’ll leave you alive. That’s why you won’t see him.”

  At just about the same time, Tang San suddenly moved. His figure soared into the bright light, successively kicking six times, but not at the enemies, but rather at the backs of each of his companions.

  Six bodies simultaneously flew in six directions, spewing a mouthful of blood at the same time. And in the air, Tang San’s eyes had already turned purple gold. Chi[1] long rays of purple golden light shot out, flashing in seven different directions.

  Miserable shrieks rose practically simultaneously. When Tang San fell from the air, he lightly swatted his stomach with a palm, and immediately afterward, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

  The bright light vanished, and everything in the surroundings became clear again. That enormous seven colored pillar of light had disappeared without warning, but of the originally fourteen people on the stage, only one still stood. That was Tang San.

  The appearance of the other six Shrek Academy team members spitting blood was just caught by the audience as the pillar of light disappeared. Seeing them fall to the ground one by one, they had clearly lost all fighting strength.

  But their opponents, the Blue Sunshine Academy team’s seven members had long ago already left their previous positions, separating in seven directions on the stage. Right now these seven were also on the ground, but different from the Shrek Academy team, these seven were convulsing violently, spitting foam, eyes rolling.

  Just like an epileptic attack.

  Tang San’s face appeared very pale and his steps were unstable, swaying from time to time. But his gaze was still unyielding, seemingly telling everyone that he was the final victor.

  An uproar. Whether it was the audience or the VIP section, right now everyone were in disorder.

  Especially those Spirit Masters who had thought Blue Sunshine Academy had fully used a seven spirit fusion ability were even more unable to conceal their shock right now. When that brilliant light had enveloped the Shrek Academy group, they had all already though the match was over.

  But who could have guessed that Shrek Academy would surprise everyone once again. They hadn’t lost even to Blue Sunshine Academy’s ‘divine skill’.

  When the referee declared the final result, he was trembling somewhat. After the participating members of Blue Sunshine Academy had been examined by qualified specialists of the Spirit Master world, the verdict was spirit ability backlash.

  Even though the rules of this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament expressly stipulated that you couldn’t cripple or kill your opponents, who could be blamed for spirit ability backlash?

  Blue Sunshine Academy’s participating members were brought from the stage by their own people, while on the Shrek Academy side, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun swiftly ran over. When Ning Rongrong wanted to release her spirit to boost everyone regardless of being revealed, she was stopped by a look from Tang San.

  The four of them together managed to help the six on the ground off the stage.

  Meeting them was an audience cheering as if welcoming heroes. The Shrek team had yet again defended their position with their own strength. Twelve successive victories was a record to regard with pride.

  Just below the stage, being supported, Dai Mubai couldn’t help saying:

  “Little San, you’re too ferocious.”

  Right now Dai Mubai, helped by Ma Hongjun, could with difficulty manage to walk. Of course, the “with difficulty” part was staged by himself. With his head lowered, nobody could see his expression.

  Next to Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong helping Xiao Wu also lowered her head, unable to keep from saying:

  “Boss Dai, what are you saying! Little San didn’t use any strength, wasn’t that blood forced on our own? Don’t tell me he was especially attentive to you?”

  Dai Mubai inclined his head slightly, looking at the expressionless Tang San,

  “I’m not saying he was ferocious towards us, but rather to those seven Blue Sunshine students. Those seven are perhaps crippled.”

  Whether the Shrek Seven Devils or the four substitutes headed by Tai Long, inwardly they couldn’t keep from shivering simultaneously.

  Tang San used a voice only the others could hear:

  “They were destined to never become our friends. Since it was like that, how could I let these threats exist at our side? If someday I wasn’t here and you ran into them, what would happen? Grass cut above the roots will grow with the spring wind.”

  Of course, there was still another reason. With Tang San’s intelligence, from the time these Blue Sunshine Academy members acted he understood that these seven very possibly were the direct disciples of the Brutal Dream Spirit Master Shi Nian he had killed. The impression Shi Nian had made on him really was too deep, and even though he had successfully killed him, he could never forget Xiao Wu’s tragedy in that illusion. He couldn’t allow that to happen for real.

  It might appear that he had easily destroyed Blue Sunshine Academy’s seven fusion ability, but if he hadn’t had an ability that just restrained the opponents, the ending would have been completely different.

  The conflict between the two sides could no longer be resolved, and if by some chance these people learned Shi Nian had been killed by him and would never return, then they would definitely come take revenge for their teacher.

  Taking all this into consideration, Tang San then acted ferociously.

  One reason was to eliminate future trouble. The other was his belief that if he started off leniently, the Blue Sunshine Academy seven could figure out his close connection to Shi Nian’s disappearance.

  But now, they would never be able to reveal this secret. Not even the other six Shrek Academy team members could completely unde
rstand just what had happened within that seven colored light.

  Naturally he wouldn’t reveal this secret either.

  Just when Tang San saw their opponents’ seven fusion ability he had also been extremely shocked. As Grandmaster’s disciple, he had instantly determined that it wasn’t a seven spirit fusion ability, but the seven fusion ability the opponents had used could still bring them enormous trouble.

  However, his heart had settled very quickly.

  Seven Asura Dreamland, in the end it was just an illusion. Purple Demon Eye’s ability to eliminate all illusions left him completely certain of victory. That’s why he wasn’t in any hurry to let his companions act.

  Compared to Shi Nian’s Nightmare, the Seven Asura Dreamland the Blue Sunshine Academy seven used was still quite lacking. As a result of the enormous spirit power drain of this ability, they were unable to exhibit the kind of meticulous control Shi Nian had that even manipulated the feelings of the victims.

  It seemed that the dazzling seven colored light was the best screen to hide Tang San’s Purple Demon Eye.

  When Tang San had his companions close their eyes, he had already quietly explained his tactics to them. His plan was very simple. He told each of his companions to force out a mouthful of blood when he kicked them away, assuming the appearance of serious injuries.

  That was after all a seven fusion ability. If he let outsiders see their side winning easily, wouldn’t that expose everything they tried to hide? Showing weakness to their enemies, letting their opponents look down on them, that was the ideal choice.

  Everything after that was logical. Seventy second ranked Spirit Emperor Shi Nian had been made briefly despondent by Purple Demon Eye, let alone these Blue Sunshine Academy team whose highest member was only at the forty first rank.

  The instant Tang San set about it, Purple Demon Eye’s attack power had reached an extraordinary degree. In that moment, he had clearly grasped the mental states of each of the Blue Sunshine Academy team members.

  Due to fully using Seven Asura Dreamland, the Blue Sunshine Academy seven had fully exported their spirit power to become mental strength, this was also their special ability. Under such circumstances, their mental defense could be said to be zero.
