Douluo Dalu - Volume 03 - Monster Academy Read online

  This was power, a spirit sage’s true strength

  Ning Rongrong was also greatly anxious, right now that stick of incense had just burned down half, but while her seven treasures glazed tile pagoda included every kind of auxiliary attribute, it did not incorporate any treatment. She only had two spirit rings, additional effects also only were that many, again feeling anxious and useless.

  Part 2

  Zhao Wuji’s speed suddenly became faster, in seemingly only one step reaching before Tang San, immense palm lifting, the second spirit ring on his body simultaneously shining, bursting into loud laughter, the palm under spirit ring’s infusion in a flash became golden, its bulk magnifying to twice its size, directly swatting at Tang San.

  Xiao Wu was currently still at Tang San’s chest, Tang San naturally could not let her take his place to obstruct this palm, and he hastily pulled her away, but it was not a simple action, making him lose his own opportunity to evade.

  But at this time, on Xiao Wu’s body the second spirit ring shone, both her eyes suddenly turning blood red, with fixed eyes gazing towards Zhao Wuji.

  Zhao Wuji only felt a spell of dizziness in his brain, startled, this descending palm naturally also became slow moving, spirit power also weakening more than half, golden light releasing in his eyes,

  “Good, unexpectedly has a confusion type spirit ability.”

  The red light in Xiao Wu’s eyes contrasted with the golden light in Zhao Wuji’s eyes, suddenly groaning loudly, she directly fainted at Tang San’s chest. Mouth and nose simultaneously overflowing with blood.

  Tang San was practically subconsciously drawing support from this opportunity, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, breaking away from Zhao Wuji’s attack range.

  Zhao Wuji’s palm also did not truly clap down, he furthermore had unexpectedly harmed these children.

  “Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu.”

  Tang San anxiously called out several times, hurriedly imparting Mysterious Heaven skill within Xiao Wu. But Xiao Wu did not react at all.

  Zhao Wuji did not pursue and attack again, standing there, saying

  “She will be fine, although the confusion type spirit ability has good effect, the gap between her spirit power and mine is too big, suffering her own spirit power backlash, naturally also can only have this result. Same as your that blue silver grass incidentally being ineffective on me. Let her sleep one night, tomorrow she’ll wake up recovered.

  Gaze shifting to Ning Rongrong, Zhao Wuji slightly smiling said:

  “I need not have another shot. Seven treasures glaze tile school little girl. You lose. You several still are too lacking. Even unable to resist for my one stick of incense of time. This is the disparity of actual strength.

  Hugging the soft like silk Xiao Wu, Tang San slowly raised his head, his black pupils without any emotion, completely abstruse.

  Holding Xiao Wu he slowly turned, walking in front of Ning Rongrong,

  “Could I trouble you, first help me take care of Xiao Wu a moment.”

  Ning Rongrong stared blankly a moment, removing her seven treasures glazed tile pagoda spirit, receiving Xiao Wu into her arms. Although her spirit was auxiliary nature, spirit masters all had spirit power, their bodies were naturally much stronger than ordinary people, holding Xiao Wu one girl counted as nothing.

  Having delivered Xiao Wu to Ning Rongrong, Tang San turned and walked towards Zhao Wuji.

  Zhao Wuji was stunned a moment,

  “What, you still want to continue? I’m afraid that you could not receive my attack even once. My second spirit ring ability Vigorous Vajra Palm can’t be so easy to withstand.”

  Zhao Wuji of course could not because that stick of incense had not completely burned out refuse these four children before him to enter Shrek Academy, in fact actually the opposite. The strength which these children displayed made him greatly pleasantly surprised. Not only did each one’s actual strength all have characteristics, but also under the prerequisite of not previously exercising together unexpectedly were able to coordinate with this implicit understanding. The limits of their future prospects could not be measured. With the Academy only were three students to compare, only strong or not.

  The reason his last words were a bit unkind, was hoping these children because of their talent would not come to be haughty, previously Shrek Academy was not at all without cases where because of pride lead to later strength progress being slow-moving. Zhao Wuji could not hope for these several good saplings before him to walk a crooked road. Only he didn’t expect, Tang San unexpectedly would walk back, alone being this courageous already made Zhao Wuji greatly admire him.

  Tang San shook his head, saying:

  “I am not at all asking to continue with your present exam.”

  Zhao Wuji somewhat disappointed said:

  “Then you are saying, you will concede?”

  Tang San again shook his head,

  “No, I hope I can with you fight earnestly one bout. Everything starting afresh. Please again ignite a stick of incense. If I persevere for one stick of incense of time, then, please permit us four to simultaneously enter Shrek Academy.”

  Zhao Wuji like smiling yet not smiling looked at Tang San, saying:

  “Then if you cannot persevere? Do not forget, just now you four people together, ultimately still lost.”

  Tang San could on his behalf make the decision, even could on behalf of Xiao Wu at present make the decision, but he could not substitute for the additional two. Turning his head to look at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

  Currently, Zhu Zhuqing’s dislocated arms were already taken care of by Dai Mubai, herself also coming awake, only was breathing weakly, although unexpectedly remained at Dai Mubai’s chest, she at present was already without strength to stand up.

  Ning Rongrong slightly smiled towards Tang San,

  “Tang San, we are comrades in arms. From childhood my father instructed me, one cannot abandon comrades in arms. Worst comes to worst we will leave together, in any case we already failed the test. The imperial capital’s academy certainly will not reject us.”

  Tang San again looked towards Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing seemingly without strength to speak, but strongly bracing her body, nodded to Tang San.

  Even though today just was the first meeting, his comrades’ trust, as if bestowing Tang San incomparable strength. Turning around, once again facing Zhao Wuji,

  “If I lose, then we together will leave.”

  Zhao Wuji looked at the several children before him, the more he saw the more he liked, bursting into loud laughter saying:

  “Good, good, then let me have a look, what power you still possess to ward off my attack. As you wish.”

  Zhao Wuji once again ignited a stick of incense, sticking it in the ground.

  Tang San’s both feet stood in a not 丁 not 八 stance, over the whole body power slowly condensing. Finally this time, he already did not plan to conceal his actual strength. Xiao Wu being wounded to unconsciousness to his mind brought about enormous provocation, deep in his heart he was even more brimming with self incrimination. As a big brother without protecting well his younger sister, if he could not on behalf of his little sister retrieve justice, then for what reason could he still be called big brother?

  Part 3

  Although it was the first time meeting Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, their trust made Tang San resolve to let them see his true power. As for Dai Mubai, for some reason, regarding that compared to his own spirit power more formidable youth, Tang San from the beginning had a kind of trustworthy feeling.

  Tang San still deeply remembered Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record’s overall key lines, one forever must not try to disguise as a hog eating tiger, otherwise one very easily will really become the hog.

  Currently he only just completely understood the meaning of these words. If just now they faced not Shrek Academy’s teacher, but an enemy. Then, perhaps Xiao Wu would have found it very difficult to escape. And if his genuine uniqu
e skill still had not been used, wouldn’t it have become a lifelong regret? Therefore, Tang San resolved to no longer hide, he also realized this Motionless Bright King Zhao Wuji before him came to see what degree his actual strength actually reached.

  Without Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda amplifying strength and speed, Tang San clearly felt his body was a bit heavy, both arms slightly trembling, letting his body as soon as possible adapt to the current state of affairs. Simultaneously, both his hands already gradually became white, a white lustre like jade. Between the ten fingers, faint streams of qi seemingly moved. Head lowered, making the opponent unable to see his already completely turned purple pair of eyes.

  Zhao Wuji clearly felt Tang San’s body atmosphere have some slight transformation, clearly spirit power did not at all consequently strengthen, but he did not know why, at his Spirit Sage level actual strength he felt some danger.

  One twenty ninth ranked child unexpectedly would let him have a feeling of danger? Zhao Wuji somewhat disbelieving, pressed to use his first spirit ring ability Motionless Bright King Body, walking towards Tang San with large strides. His speed was not at all fast, but his pace was extremely steady, under each step, the ground would faintly tremble.

  “Teacher Zhao, take care.”

  Tang San suddenly ferociously raised his head, in his eyes a purple light abruptly rich and powerful, seeing his those purple eyes, Zhao Wuji was immediately startled, underfoot pace also slowing. After all, relying on eyesight confusion attacks, was among spirit abilities the most difficult kind to resist. Previously when clashing with Xiao Wu he nearly got the worst of it.

  But very quickly Zhao Wuji realized, in Tang San’s eyes the purple light did not at all have any attack effect. And at his this slowing. Tang San’s hands hanging on either side of his waist swiftly rose.

  Chichichichichichichichichichi……, Ten cold lights at Tang San’s both hands’ ten fingers lightly twirling burst forth, separately shooting towards Zhao Wuji’s eyes, shoulders, throat, heart, knees, genitals and abdomen. The ten cold lights’ attacking locations unexpectedly were not the same, furthermore aiming for all the vitals.

  The ear piercing air splitting sounds startled Zhao Wuji, in all his ability, nimbleness was his least expert kind, after spirit body enhancement, although his speed increased somewhat, because of the huge build, added to its astonishing defensive power, when facing enemies he would choose to the way of meeting force with force.

  To suddenly be confronted by the extremely accurate ten cold lights, Zhao Wuji reacted very quickly, a pair of bear paws one up one down, above obstructing his eyes, below obstructing his lower body. With a deep roar, on his whole body spirit power burst forth, Motionless Bright King Body’s full power pressed into use.

  Tang San after emitting the ten cold lights, body had not paused the slightest amount, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, lightning quick retreating backwards.

  Ten cracking sounds echoed practically simultaneously, the ten cold lights pierced Zhao Wuji’s body, but in the tyrannical golden light, they all bounced back, and furthermore did not cause Zhao Wuji any harm.

  Tang San in his heart was secretly shocked, one must know, what he shot was ten Penetrating Bone Nails[ (透骨钉)], among small scale hidden weapons, Penetrating Bone Nails weight was considered a heavy kind, again adding his internal strength’s urging to the Penetrating Bone Nail’s penetrating properties, unexpectedly still could not give Zhao Wuji a trace of an injury, one could clearly see how tyrannical Zhao Wuji’s defense was. Dai Mubai saying he completely lacked weak points, certainly had not been without justification.

  Figure turning, again throwing out an additional ten cold lights.

  Completely lacking weak points? In Tang San’s eyes flashed a trace of cold, possessing complete lack of weak points, in fact the whole body was a weak point. Only breaking one point, only was his opportunity location.

  In retreating, between Tang San’s hands like butterflies passing flowers generally throwing in front or shooting, together continuously shooting out cold lights from his hands, starting to specially search Zhao Wuji’s body for a vital spot.

  In Zhao Wuji’s heart the shock compared to Tang San was still bigger, it was still his first time encountering an opponent like this. If both sides’ actual strength had been equal, he knew he would already have lost. Tang San was shooting hidden weapons not only accurately, but also simultaneously attacking many different locations, dodging was extremely difficult.

  Willow Leaf Knife, Flying Locust Rock, Gold Coin Dart, Penetrating Bone Nail[ 柳叶刀、飞蝗石、金钱镖、透骨钉], a variety of hidden weapons blooming in Tang San’s Sky Filling Flower Rain[ 漫天花雨] technique, flying straight, flying slanted, spiralling behind, but the final target was only one, that was Zhao Wuji’s body.

  Zhao Wuji clearly felt these hidden weapons extreme penetrating strength, if not at full strength operating Motionless Bright King Body, even he might very possibly be injured therein.

  However, undergoing high speed contact, Zhao Wuji also resigned himself to clearly feel out Tang San’s this hidden weapon attack power, whole body glittering with Motionless Bright King Body’s golden light, with large strides rushing over to Tang San.

  In a moment Zhao Wuji rushed at him, that enormous Vigorous Vajra Palm again lifted, he without the slightest trace of hurry. Underfoot becoming lightning quick withdrawal, Blue Silver Grass already spreading floating in the air, obstructing Zhao Wuji’s road forward.

  The tough Blue Silver Grass was completely insufficient to stop Zhao Wuji, but it was still able to delay him for a moment, omnipresent bindings, each time only a Blue Silver Grass hindered Zhao Wuji’s foot, already slowing down his speed, also as far as possible saving his internal strength.

  Relying on Blue Silver Grass and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, although Tang San’s absolute speed was not equal to Zhao Wuji’s, Zhao Wuji still was chasing after not on him, Vigorous Vajra Palm several times swatting empty air.

  Part 4

  But after Tang San fired the first round of hidden weapons, he also did not again continue with the hidden weapon attack, moving around the space, dodging Zhao Wuji’s attacks.

  The reason why Tang San asked for his one on one battle with Zhao Wuji, first was because fearing hidden weapons accidentally injuring the other people, second, also was because one person’s dodging space was even larger, also without any concerns.

  Right now, the surrounding several people spectating all looked somewhat straight, especially the period of time when on Tang San’s body hidden weapons were unceasingly flying out, in their hearts all full of astonishment. Whether it was Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, or Dai Mubai. In their hearts all could not help but secretly feel a chill, they realized, if exchanging themselves for Zhao Wuji, perhaps, long ago already run away.

  Tang San’s hidden weapons were fantastic oddities of every description, flying routes also extremely weird, wanting to dodge, was really too difficult.

  Even if born from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, experienced and knowledgeable Ning Rongrong still did not know his hidden weapons were classified as what clan’s attack method. But completely able to feel these hidden weapons’ power.

  Incense unwittingly burning, this moment, already burned down by one third of its length.

  Zhao Wuji chasing Tang San suddenly stopped his feet, smiling scolding:

  “Fine you little monkey, still truly slippery. Want to delay like this? Can’t be that easy. Third spirit ring ability, Gravity Increase.”

  The third spirit ring on Zhao Wuji’s body, a purple thousand year spirit ring abruptly magnified, but it was not an ability infused within his body, but was floating downward, directly merging into the ground.

  Suddenly, Tang San only felt his legs seem to sink into a swamp, body abruptly becoming heavy, as if his body weight had increased to twofold. But Zhao Wuji clearly did not suffer a shadow, with big strides dashing towards Tang San, in his eyes b
ringing a faint smiling expression, seeming to say, ‘I would see where you still will run now’.

  A truly powerful spirit ability. Under the effect of gravity, Tang San’s speed clearly dropped, even though Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track steps were exquisite, under the influence of gravity again dodging Zhao Wuji’s attack already was somewhat pulling the lapels exposing the elbows[ Idiom: Unable to make ends meet.]. Several times dangerously avoiding Zhao Wuji’s Vigorous Vajra Palm.

  Zhao Wuji glanced at the burning incense, the incense had already quickly burned halfway. In his heart also could not help but be somewhat anxious.

  His majestic Motionless Bright King, handling one just twelve years old child unexpectedly was this strenuous, if this spread to the other teachers’ ears, how couldn’t he become a laughing stock? If this child was stopped. However, this exam also should be finished then.

  Thinking of this, on Zhao Wuji’s body the fourth spirit ring also lit up.

  Purple light glittering, making people wonder was, on Zhao Wuji’s body the fourth spirit ring unexpectedly flew out, like it was a long loop, overtaking Tang San’s body, directly covering him.

  What was the meaning of this? Tang San’s heart was cold. But after this purple thousand year light ring covered his body, it did not give him any unwell feeling.

  Zhao Wuji laughed loudly,

  “Should be time to finish, able to force me to use my fourth spirit ring, you are qualified to enroll.”

  Speaking, he that sturdy pair of legs abruptly used strength, entire person jumping off the ground.

  Tang San hurriedly shifted his location, but he shocked discovered, that jumping in midair Zhao Wuji unexpectedly followed his movement and direction, still coming in his direction.

  He did not know that this was Zhao Wuji’s fourth spirit ring ability, Position Trace. In a short time of his fourth spirit ring locking on, then, within a hundred metres, he all could rely on jumping strength to in a flash pull into close range.

  This ability to others cultivation patterns Spirit Masters point of view might not be of any use, but to physical strength type Zhao Wuji it was not merely useful. Relying on Position Trace to pull close to his opponent, his physical strength and attack had the biggest room to develop. To as quickly as possible end the battle, he just simply used this ability of his.
