Douluo Dalu - Volume 03 - Monster Academy Read online

  Zhao Wuji looking at his fists hammering the ground did not react, on the contrary smiling widely. In a moment Xiao Wu pounced at at him, he still did not dodge, both hands on the contrary behind his back, making a show of allowing Xiao Wu’s attack.

  Xiao Wu naturally would not let slip such an opportunity, pouncing body in midair curling up, rolling forward, when about to reach Zhao Wuji, this delicate body stretched open, within a short time, she already underwent a complete midair spirit body enhancement process, both feet simultaneously stepping on either side of Zhao Wuji’s neck.

  With two muffled simultaneous sounds, Xiao Wu’s both feet accurately stepped on Zhao Wuji’s shoulders, but Zhao Wuji did not even sway, grinning,

  “Seems to be without any strength, little girl.”

  Xiao Wu snorted coldly, without strength? ‘Then I’ll let you have a look at strength.’ Both her feet as if glued to Zhao Wuji’s shoulders, toes suddenly turning in, separately pointing at the main arteries on Zhao Wuji’s neck, delicate body twisting with all her strength, turning in midair.

  If it only was Xiao Wu’s physical strength, she seemingly would be unable to drive Zhao Wuji’s body, but right at this moment, more than one person could take part.

  Zhao Wuji suddenly felt his whole body tighten, full of sharp thorny vines already frantically twining around his body, regardless of arms or legs, the binding was completely sturdy. The vines were extremely tight, intense paralysing poison abruptly discharging. Simultaneously, vines welling up from the ground pushed at his body, making both his feet leave the ground.

  While one person’s strength is big, without feet on the round he was unable to stabilize his body. Zhao Wuji’s body under the driving force of Xoai Wu’s feet was immediately brought to revolve in midair. Currently, his body still was bound full of Tang San’s blue silver grass, like a blue and green giant cabbage roll.

  Having Ning Rongrong’s seven treasures glazed tile pagoda support, no matter if it was Tang San or Xiao Wu, right now they displayed spirit power already surpassing the thirtieth rank level. Xiao Wu’s body revolving quickly in midair abruptly flipped back, forcibly driving up Zhao Wuji’s body.

  Both hands supported on the ground, she directly made a scissor motion with her legs, if this was an ordinary person, first of all the neck would by Xiao Wu’s both feet directly snap, finally further even drop on their head.

  Relying on the substantial backflip, for this time’s drop Xiao Wu already used her full strength.

  “Spinning and spinning is also quite amusing.”

  Zhao Wuji’s muffled voice resounded in midair, Xiao Wu suddenly felt her rapidly rotating body suddenly be unable to move, both legs unexpectedly again unable to drive the opponent down, with an abrupt vigorous sound, her originally backfliping body was unexpectedly forcefully brought back up.

  With a peng sound, the vines over ZHao Wuji’s entire body burst, scattering in all directions, both legs again stably settling on the ground.

  But at this time, Zhao Wuji’s expression suddenly transformed slightly, with a low roar, his body abruptly expanded. The entire body originally frightfully muscled practically expanded to twice its size, even height in a split second also grew by one metre, the whole person becoming extremely powerful.

  Seven dazzling spirit rings simultaneously appeared, just like what Dai Mubai said, two yellow, two purple, three black, seven terrible spirit rings attaching to his body.

  Dingdingdingdingdingdingdingding——

  A repeated concentrated crisp sound rose from Zhao Wuji’s back, Xiao Wu using this chance, toes lightly pointing at Zhao Wuji’s shoulders, lithe body sticking close to Zhao Wuji flipping back down, scorpion braid stretching out, like a quick serpent winding around Zhao Wuji’s left ankle, entire body simultaneously exerting.

  That concentrated clear sound, was Zhu Zhuqing launching her attack.

  When she first began dodging, she already completely displayed her speed, worthy of being called an agility attack system battle spirit master, her speed was so rapid, even Dai Mubai somewhat gasped in admiration. Most dreadful was, Zhu Zhuqing’s motions were without a trace of sound, entire body quietly leaping up, quietly attacking, without any wasted energy, also without spirit power piercing sound.

  Dai Mubai after spirit body enhancement, had ten fingers extending sharp blades like tiger claws, but Zhu Zhuqing after undergoing spirit body enhancement, her cat claws were shaped like spikes.

  Part 5

  After body enhancement, Zhu Zhuqing’s both eyes simultaneously changed, left eye dark green, right eye clear blue, long hair naturally docile on her back, body in the course of moving left a slight mirage, making it very difficult for people to catch her precise location. But her attack also had extreme attraction. Sharp claws specially looking for vitals, to the extent that Zhao Wuji had no choice but to release his spirit.

  Zhu Zhuqing’s timing for entering the battle was beautifully grasped, just right when Zhao Wuji sent out power to destroy Tang San’s blue silver grass, and moreover after pulling back Xiao Wu’s body appeared a moment of relaxing his strength. Otherwise, her attack power also would have been insufficient to split open Zhao Wuji’s attack.

  But, after Zhao Wuji completed spirit body enhancement, Zhu Zhuqing’s attack could no longer so easily produce effect. Zhao Wuji’s body was like cast from steel, under her cat’s claws full strength strike, also could only puncture Zhao Wuji’s clothes.

  Xiao Wu’s Soft Skill was stopped for the first time. No matter how she used force, she was unable to make Zhao Wuji’s body move a hair’s breadth. Even after her backflip, both hands striking Zhao Wuji’s knee joints, still was equally unable to produce effect.

  Xiao Wu in her heart was greatly worried, but right now she completely lacked the means to hold the opponent.

  In fact, it wasn’t that Xiao Wu’s soft skill wasn’t strong, but was because her soft skill being completely restrained just enough by Zhao Wuji. Xiao Wu’s first spirit ring’s added ability required the body’s flexibility to control stop the opponent to be able to release, classified as a one hit certain kill effect. But right now the gap between her and Zhao Wuji’s strength were indeed too far, even if it was under Tang San’s assistance, it was still impossible to contain Zhao Wuji. Unless her spirit power was able to reach close to Zhao Wuji’s level, to Zhao Wuji this kind of single-minded physical strength spirit master, her soft skill effect was the worst.

  By breaking blue silver grass, Tang San’s expression immediately became pale, but at this time he without a trace of hesitation, already dashed forward a sudden big stride, thick vines once again appearing on Zhao Wuji’s body, delaying his preparations to send out strength a moment, precisely blue silver grass second spirit ring ability, parasite generation effect.

  With the help of this moment’s opportunity, Tang San already arrived before Zhao Wuji, and Zhu Zhuqing also quietly appeared at Zhao Wuji’s back, of the two cat claws one grabbing at his throat, one at his ear, searching for the human body’s weakest regions.

  Taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhao Wuji not yet having struggled free of blue silver grass, Tang San’s fist abruptly aimed at Zhao Wuji’s stomach.

  Zhao Wuji laughed heartily, also not hurrying to throw of blue silver grass, stomach bracing, very clearly, he was thinking to have a look at how much strength Tang San had.

  In Tang San’s eyes flashed a light, Zhao Wuji’s laughter suddenly stopped, because he astonished discovered, Tang San’s fist seemingly at full strength striking his stomach was light as if nothing, but he because of by spirit power concentrating on his stomach, immediately a feeling appeared somewhat as if using the wrong force.

  With Tang San and Xiao Wu’s strength of course was insufficient to force Zhao Wuji’s body, but if it was his own power, it was different.

  Tang San’s swinging right fist suddenly became a palm, the palm absorbing, in an instant exerting Controlling Crane Catching Dragon’s reverse force, pulling Zhao
Wuji’s body to stagger forward. Simultaneously stretching his right leg forward, kicking at Zhao Wuji’s toes. Even if Zhao Wuji’s spirit power was tyrannical, under circumstances like these he lost balance.

  Tang San’s grasp of timing was also not inferior to Zhu Zhuqing, relying on Controlling Crane Catching Dragon’s ingenuity, he was adding Zhao Wuji’s own strength to his own to drive Zhao Wuji’s body.

  “Rise.”

  Tang San shouted loudly, both arms exerting, unexpectedly by Zhao Wuji’s body abruptly lifting.

  “Xiao Wu.”

  The moment Zhao Wuji was completely off the ground, Xiao Wu’s ability also finally displayed its effect.

  Two slender thighs in a flash twined around Zhao Wuji’s waist, both hands grabbing his ankle, on her body the first spirit ring releasing light, then bringing Zhao Wuji’s body to fiercely rotate three times in midair, placing Zhao Wuji’s head downwards, heavily striking towards the ground.

  Zhao Zhuqing’s previous attacks although without damaging effect, still imperceptibly interfered with Zhao Wuji’s adaptability, together three people’s strength, finally completed this attack.

  A thick blue silver grass vine formed at Xiao Wu bringing Zhao Wuji’s body about to strike the ground an instant before twisting around her waist, Zhao Wuji head down, rotated again towards the ground, but Xiao Wu by Tang San’s blue silver grass was abruptly brought up, twisting cleverly in midair without dropping.

  Hong——

  Zhao Wuji’s after spirit body enhancement huge body heavily rammed the ground. The entire head unexpectedly sinking completely into the soil.

  Xiao Wu nimbly dropped down, just onto Tang San’s shoulders, sole foot on Tang San’s right shoulder, both arms stretching levelly to maintain her body’s balance, gasping big mouthfuls of air.

  She already used her full strength with the attack just now, if not for Tang San’s ingenious Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, she would still be unable to complete her focused two spirit ring ability’s Soft Skill Certain Kill Drop.

  “Little San, we didn’t do it too heavily?”

  Xiao Wu somewhat nervous asked.

  Tang San shook his head,

  “Zhao Wuji still hasn’t used a spirit ability.”

  He glanced at the side on the ground. Right now, that stick of incense had only burned one third, that’s all. But under the previous joint attack, the three Tang San, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing could say had spared no effort, using all they had.

  Parasite blue silver grass on Zhao Wuji’s body was rapidly withdrawn by Tang San, he could not want his blue silver grass again being burst by the opponent, even though blue silver grass consumed not much spirit power, always when it was destroyed its spirit power consumption was unusually large.

  Zhao Wuji’s both arms pushed on the ground, pulling his head out.

  Previously they hadn’t looked carefully, right now could see clearly his appearance after spirit body enhancement.

  Zhao Wuji’s entire body was covered by a layer of thick brown fur, his height unexpectedly already surpassing two metres fifty, the muscles on his whole body coiling like dragons, light brown revealing a tyrannical atmosphere, seven spirit rings continuously rhythmically revolving around his body.

  Chapter 019: Tang San’s Hidden Weapons

  Part 1

  Zhao Wuji’s pair of hands became especially massive, just like big palm leaves.

  Just as Tang San said, previously Zhao Wuji had not used any of his spirit power, before when Zhu Zhuqing was attacking his weak points, even he all had not thought he must use spirit body enhancement.

  Speaking of him as a seventy sixth ranked spirit sage, several twenty something spirit grandmasters truly were too puny. He was only toying with these children, loosening up his body, that’s all.

  But, generally one often must pay the price, precisely because he underestimated them, again adding Tang San’s three people to Ning Rongrong’s seven treasures glazed tile pagoda amplification their actual strength already exceeded thirtieth ranked level, though they still did not have that corresponding perfection from practicing, immediately let this Motionless Bright King eat his fault.

  Zhao Wuji patted the dirt from his head, unhappily saying:

  “Truly fuck his eighty year old mother to be tripped by children, apparently, at odds with you at several serious points were on the point of death. Little Bai, what are you laughing at, tomorrow come find me for a real combat lesson.”

  “Eh……”

  Watching from the sides apparently Dai Mubai had been laughing in his sleeve at Zhao Wuji’s appearance with head and shoulders covered with dirt, right now hearing Zhao Wuji’s words, the smile did not appear again.

  “Children, come. We’ll continue.”

  Zhao Wuji advanced with large strides, walking straight in Tang San and Xiao Wu’s direction. The two’s previous implicit recognition matching had given him a remaining profound “impression”.

  “Xiao Wu, meteor person hammer.”

  Tang San called out.

  Xiao Wu’s toes on Tang San’s shoulders, once again pounced, merely this time she no longer was going hands first, but became feet first, kicking straight for Zhao Wuji’s head.

  At the same time, ten blue silver grass simultaneously surged out from around Tang San’s body, from different directions tangling around Zhao Wuji.

  Zhao Wuji raised his hands to smack towards Xiao Wu, but who could have imagined, Xiao Wu’s body still had not reached before him, but suddenly changed direction, this palm of his naturally only clapped the air. Xiao Wu swept across from the side, one leg kicking at Zhao Wuji’s shoulders.

  Originally, the so called meteor person hammer, was hidden weapon Meteor Hammer’s clone, reying on blue silver grass binding, Tang San controlled Xiao Wu’s body moving nimbly in midair, launching an attack. Unfortunately, the defense power of Zhao Wuji they faced was truly too unreasonable, even if his dodging ability didn’t matter, wanting to touch his body could not be so easy.

  Common hidden weapons were divided into four main categories, hand thrown, mechanism launched, wire system, drug spray. Like a Meteor Hammer, Red Holding Lasso, Flying Claw, these were all classified as wire systems. Although less secret than other types of hidden weapons, other hidden weapons were unable to have the same extraordinary attacking power.

  Zhao Wuji also looked distracted by this kick, in the light brown eyes finally revealed a somewhat serious expression. These several children could all become his students, if again letting them make this kind of display, he would lose too much face, how could he still later instruct them?

  Zhu Zhuqing would not stay idle, in a moment of Zhao Wuji advancing on Tang San’s pair, on her body the two yellow spirit rings also simultaneously shone up, one blue one green both eyes pupils abruptly stood up, quietly accelerating forward, body in a flash soaring, entire person under spirit power was wrapped midair into a ball, rapidly rotating dashing towards Zhao Wuji.

  Within her that round silhouette, only saw claw images one after another, exactly her second spirit ring ability, Hell Hundred Claws[ (幽冥百爪)]. Relying on the body’s rapid rotation and cat claw’s penetrating attack power, in an extremely short time inflicting a hundred attacks on the enemy, furthermore attacking the same location, its formidable power extremely astonishing.

  When Zhao Wuji was hit by Xiao Wu’s kick, also exactly the moment Zhu Zhuqing’s Hell Hundred Claw struck his back. Hell Hundred Claw was like a rapidly rotating saw toothed gear, lightning fast cutting Zhao Wuji’s back.

  “Hou——”

&n
bsp; A bellow abruptly resounded, in Zhao Wuji’s eyes a cold light released, both fists abruptly gripping tight. Among the seven spirit rings on his body, the first yellow spirit ring in a flash shone up.

  Intense golden light exploded out in practically a split second, fully engaged in Hell Hundred Claw Zhu Zhuqing was immediately sent flying, in midair issuing a wretched groan.

  Dai Mubai strangely quickly appeared where she was about to drop, catching her in his arms. Discovering Zhu Zhuqing had already passed out from the jolt, and both arms also already dislocated.

  Simultaneously suffering calamity still was Xiao Wu, her kick at Zhao Wuji, body only just brought up by Tang San’s blue silver grass, as Zhao Wuji’s attack unleashed, on Tang San’s body blue silver grass also flew out just in time to bind Zhao Wuji’s body.

  In that intense golden light, this all became useless effort. Although Xiao Wu was not in as close contact as Zhu Zhuqing, still flew up from the jolt, Tang San’s blue silver grass whether it was close to the body or still not close to the body, each within three metres around Zhao Wuji’s body completely rebounded back, and near the body even more was smashed to pieces.

  Three muffled sounds practically simultaneously resounded. Receiving the biggest wound was Zhu Zhuqing, next was Xiao Wu.

  Violent shaking force caused Xiao Wu in midair to spout out a mouthful of blood, whole body tingling, directly blue silver grass brought her to drop in Tang San’s arms.

  Although Tang San received the lightest wound, only was under blue silver grass pull by the shock suffering burning agony, but Xiao Wu’s injuries caused him again to be unable to maintain his calm.

  Zhao Wuji’s display, was precisely his first spirit ring ability, Motionless Bright King Body[ (不动明王身)]. Despite that only being a hundred year spirit ring, the same spirit ability, used with different spirit power, the effect also was different. Relying on seventy sixth ranked spirit power, this hundred year spirit ring’s bestowed ability reached ample effect. Attack and defense integrated, immediately breaking Tang San’s trio’s joint attack.
