Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 42 Extra: Mai Taijun's Domestic Violence Against Tang Shenwang?!

Led by Ma Hongjun, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong arrived at another open space within Shrek Academy. This open space was not large, only about 200 square meters. At this moment, Flander, with his long face, was taking a nap in a chair, and Oscar was also there.

Because Zhao Wuji had been attacked by Yun Ming and Yang Wutian a few days ago, his mental and physical injuries had not improved, and his physical injuries had not fully healed either. Therefore, the final assessment, which Zhao Wuji usually oversaw, was temporarily taken over by Flander today.

"Teacher, I've brought the person over!"

Tang San and Xiao Wu were also surprised to see this person. They did not expect that the shady merchant they had met when buying the crystal was actually a teacher at Shrek Academy.

Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that the shrewish businessman uncle?"

Ma Hongjun said, "What shady merchant uncle? This is my teacher, the dean of our Shrek Academy, the founder of Shrek Academy, the four-eyed cat owl Flander. A Soul Saint of level 78. Among battle soul masters, he is quite rare."

Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's greeting, Flander opened his eyes and looked at the three people behind Ma Hongjun.

"I didn't expect that three people would make it to the fourth level this year!"

At this moment, Ma Hongjun, who was standing next to Flander, reminded him.

"Teacher, these three students are exempt from the second and third tests!"

Upon hearing this, Flanders became interested and spoke up.

"Three students above level 25, not bad! Very good! It seems our Shrek Academy's luck has turned around!"

At this point, Flander thought of Yun Ming again, wondering if he could ultimately keep that kid! No, he should be sure he could! Flander had faith in his friend! Clearing his mind of other thoughts, Flander solemnly began to introduce the content of the fourth test.

"The final hurdle for admission to Shrek Academy is real combat!"

"The Soul Master profession is one of blood and fire, and all of a Soul Master's abilities are designed for combat. Therefore, practical combat experience is essential for every Soul Master!"

"I'm testing your abilities in this area!"

"Now, please state your names, martial spirits, spirit power levels, and development directions!"

Tang San was the first to speak and report to Flander, "Tang San, weapon spirit Blue Silver Grass, level 29 control-type battle spirit master."

Xiao Wu, seeing that Tang San had spoken, said second: "Xiao Wu, Beast Spirit Rabbit, Level 29 Power Attack Type Battle Spirit Master."

Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment before staring at Oscar before saying, "Ning Rongrong, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a level 26 support-type weapon spirit master."

Tang San was surprised when he heard that Ning Rongrong's martial soul was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"The number one support-type martial soul on the continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is a martial soul passed down through generations, and only direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can possess it throughout the entire Douluo Continent. Therefore, this person is a descendant of one of the three upper sects!

Flander wasn't too surprised, since Ning Fengzhi had given him advance notice. After hearing the detailed information about Tang San and the other two, Flander also decided on their final test.

"In that case, the final test will be Tang San versus Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong!"

"Winning or losing is irrelevant to the final selection. Just demonstrate your practical experience and fight with all your might!"

"But if you don't satisfy me, I'll eliminate you all!!!"

Will Flander really eliminate them all? Of course not, but that doesn't stop Flander from scaring them a little.

Seeing Flander's confident demeanor, Tang San and his companions grew more serious. As for Ma Hongjun, who knew his teacher's true nature, he inwardly criticized Flander's hypocrisy.

The reason Flander didn't take action himself was firstly because he wasn't Zhao Wuji and didn't like to bully the weak; secondly, he was Tang San's senior uncle, so it wasn't appropriate; and finally, Flander felt that Tang San must be extraordinary to be accepted as a disciple by the arrogant Yu Xiaogang. With the precedents of Zhao Wuji and Yun Ming, he was a little panicked that Tang San and Ning Rongrong might give him a big surprise and make him lose face.

This arrangement is just right; it tests Tang San's strength without going too far.

Xiao Wu found Flander's arrangement quite interesting.

Xiao Wu had just heard what her "third brother" had said. Ning Rongrong's martial soul support was very powerful; she was the number one support on the continent. With such an assistant, could she defeat her third brother? Xiao Wu was very excited and quickly flashed to the center of the open space.

Tang San was both amused and exasperated to see Xiao Wu so excited. Then Tang San and Ning Rongrong arrived at the center of the arena.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Flander made the announcement directly.

"The fourth round begins!"

Xiao Wu said something charmingly to Tang San.

"Third Brother, be careful!"

Then, he channeled his martial spirit and charged towards Tang San.

Seeing that Xiao Wu had taken the lead, Ning Rongrong quickly followed. She wanted to stay at Shrek Academy to see if Oscar, this genius with innate full soul power, was better than her.

"Seven treasures are transformed into crystal."

Ning Rongrong spun around gracefully on the spot, and a dazzling seven-colored light was released from her body. At the point where the seven-colored light gathered, a seven-colored pagoda more than a foot tall appeared in Ning Rongrong's right palm.

It shimmered with a precious light, exuding an aura of nobility. Two yellow spirit rings rose from beneath Ning Rongrong's feet, quietly swirling around her.

"The Seven Treasures have names, the first being: Strength." The first spirit ring rose, enveloping the Seven-Colored Pagoda. With Ning Rongrong's left finger pointing, a beam of colorful light was released, enveloping Xiao Wu.

Instantly, a warm energy surged into her limbs and bones, and Xiao Wu felt her whole body filled with power. Even the soul power within her body seemed to boil and surge upwards.

"Seven treasures have names, the second is: Speed." Another beam of colorful light appeared, and Ning Rongrong's second soul ring also came into play.

The lightness of her body made Xiao Wu feel as if she had lost all weight. She secretly admired the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, thinking it truly lived up to its name as the number one support-type martial soul. With her speed and strength increasing by thirty percent simultaneously, she immediately felt a significant boost in her power.

The master once said that if one day you encounter an opponent with a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Soul Master, then the first thing you must do is to deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Soul Master.

Tang San did the same. A patch of blue-black, vine-like Blue Silver Grass sprouted from beneath Tang San's feet and surged towards Ning Rongrong like a tide.

However, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was fast, and Xiao Wu's speed was even faster after receiving Ning Rongrong's assistance. Xiao Wu appeared in front of Tang San like a phantom and kicked him in the neck.

Tang San was surprised to see Xiao Wu arrive so quickly. He couldn't care less about controlling Ning Rongrong with the Blue Silver Grass anymore. He hurriedly activated his Lightness Technique and Ghost Shadow.

Suddenly, Tang San moved with the speed of a ghost, narrowly avoiding Xiao Wu's powerful long leg attack.

Tang San, dodging Xiao Wu's kick, used his movement technique to continue retreating, while simultaneously regaining control of the Blue Silver Grass in an attempt to limit Xiao Wu's pursuit. Through their brief exchange, Tang San had realized that Xiao Wu had become much more difficult to deal with after acquiring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's amplification effect—her speed was simply too fast!

As for Xiao Wu, sensing Tang San's flustered state during their brief exchange, her confidence soared. She hadn't felt such a wonderful sensation fighting Tang San in a long time. Today, Xiao Wu was going to re-establish her position in the family, transforming into "Sister Xiao Wu" and turning "Third Brother" into "Mistress." Xiao Wu shouted triumphantly.

"Mistress, you'd better bow down to Sister Xiaowu again..."

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Wu had already transformed into a pink phantom and continued chasing after Tang San.

Hearing Xiao Wu's arrogant words, Tang San could only manage a wry smile as he continued to control the Blue Silver Grass to block their path. However, Xiao Wu was not Zhao Wuji; she had years of experience fighting Tang San and was intimately familiar with Tang San's first two soul skills and their applications.

Xiao Wu didn't touch the Blue Silver Grass blocking her way. Relying on her superior speed, she either dodged or circled around to continue slowly approaching Tang San. She knew that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was something she couldn't touch. Once she was entangled by the parasitic Blue Silver Grass, she wouldn't be able to break free with her strength and soul skills.

Tang San was somewhat helpless as he saw Xiao Wu still approaching him. The Blue Silver Grass sealing tactic, which was originally effective, was now insufficient in the face of Xiao Wu's speed, which had increased by more than 30%, and could not be sealed at all.

With Tang San's current soul power, he can't cover the entire area. In the process of patching things up by robbing Peter to pay Paul, Xiao Wu will always find a gap in the Blue Silver Blockade and escape.

Having understood this, Tang San immediately adjusted his tactics. Since using Blue Silver Grass alone was ineffective, he would resort to his signature skill. As a master of hidden weapons, Tang San had great confidence in his abilities.

The next second, Tang San retrieved all his Blue Silver Grass and used his grappling technique, Crane Control and Dragon Capture, to pick up a pile of pebbles from the open ground. He then began using the pebbles as hidden weapons to restrict Xiao Wu's movements. After all, it was just an entrance exam, and Tang San couldn't bear to actually throw real hidden weapons at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu looked at the pebbles shooting towards her, and her expression finally became serious, no longer as arrogant as before.

The stones thrown by Tang San using his hidden weapon technique were far faster and angled than when Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to create a barrier.

Suddenly, Xiao Wu felt that all the joints and meridians in her body that affected her movement were giving her warnings. Tang San threw stones quickly, in large numbers, and with great accuracy, which immediately interrupted Xiao Wu's intention to move forward.

Besides throwing pebbles at Xiao Wu, Tang San would also occasionally throw a couple at Ning Rongrong, forcing the young lady to jump around and dodge the pebbles.

There was no way to completely dodge it. Xiao Wu could only fight back with all her might. Her long legs kept kicking out, creating a series of heavy kicks.

"Bang!"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Bang bang bang bang~"

"Bang bang bang~"

"..."

A series of sounds rang out as leather shoes collided with pebbles. If the shoes hadn't been imbued with soul power, Xiao Wu's shoes might not have been able to withstand the high frequency of the pebbles hitting them.

However, it was all worth it. With Xiao Wu's leg shadows sweeping in all directions, she actually managed to defend for a while. Moreover, Xiao Wu even used some hidden weapon techniques that Tang San had taught her to kick some stones at Tang San.

Looking at the powerful pebbles hurtling towards him, Tang San felt a strange sense of melancholy. What does it mean to lift a stone only to drop it on your own foot? This was exactly his situation! Tang San was pleased that Xiao Wu remembered what he had taught her, but the fact that Xiao Wu used it on him made Tang San feel less than happy.

"Rustling sound~"

Even the pebbles kicked by Xiao Wu, who had gained the power amplification from Ning Rongrong, couldn't be called hidden weapons. The sound alone was incredibly powerful! They weren't hidden at all.

Left with no other choice, Tang San had to retreat.

This retreat disrupted Tang San's throwing rhythm. Xiao Wu seized the opportunity, using her legs to accelerate and leaping forward to reach Tang San. She grabbed Tang San's shoulders and delivered a knee strike straight for his abdomen.

Perhaps it had been too long since she had beaten up Tang San, as Wu Taijun was in high spirits to do so.

Tang San knew it was too late to dodge, so he activated the Practice Technique: Mysterious Jade Hand.

In an instant, Tang San's hands became as cold as jade. With one hand pressing down on his knee, he used the other to gently push Xiao Wu's abdomen, attempting to push her away. However, Xiao Wu's combat experience was extremely rich. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, she changed the force of her hand, turning her grab into a push, and used the force to retreat.

Taking advantage of Tang San's unsteady stance and the moment his feet touched the ground, she exerted her strength a second time, leaping into the air. Her snow-white, slender legs, like gleaming long blades, cleaved down towards Tang San's shoulder.

Tang San had just regained his footing when he saw Xiao Wu's attack about to strike. Left with no other choice, Tang San unleashed his Xuan Yu Hand and Crane Control Dragon Capture techniques simultaneously to deflect Xiao Wu's kick. However, this only allowed Xiao Wu to stick to him completely.

Xiao Wu's attack failed again, so she continued to attack, while Tang San fought back with all his might. For a time, palms and legs clashed, and they countered each other's moves, making for a lively scene.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang~"

"..."

After a series of rapid exchanges, Xiao Wu, seeing that she couldn't gain the upper hand, began to get impatient. With a quick glance around, she decided to use some tactics.

Tang San reached out his Xuan Jade Hand, attempting to repel Xiao Wu once again. Judging from their previous exchanges, Xiao Wu would have either dodged or countered this attack. However, this time, Xiao Wu seemed to be a beat slow in her reaction, her attack was a fraction of a second slower, and this slight delay allowed Tang San's Xuan Jade Hand to strike Xiao Wu's shoulder directly.

Xiao Wu's face contorted in pain, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Tang San was startled upon seeing this and cried out.

"Xiao Wu!!!"

He rushed forward to check on Xiao Wu's condition, but when Xiao Wu saw that Tang San had taken the bait, her expression changed, and she smiled sweetly and said...

"Third Brother, you lost!"

Tang San was stunned. Before he could react, he saw the two spirit rings under Xiao Wu's feet shine brightly.

Xiao Wu's second soul skill, "Charm," is a control-type soul skill. It confuses and slows down the opponent's movements.

This caused Tang San to temporarily lose control of his body.

Xiao Wu's first soul skill, "Waist Bow," instantly increases her waist strength by 100% and her resilience by 50%. After reaching level ten in soul power, the amplification effect of Waist Bow increases by 1% for each additional level.

Xiao Wu kicked Tang San in the neck, hooked her arm around his neck, and raised her other foot, stomping on his chest. With a thrust of her waist, Tang San was flung into the air, soaring into the clouds.

With the help of his Purple Demon Eye's ability to see through illusions, Tang San, who was flying in mid-air, quickly regained control of his body. He managed to control his posture in mid-air before finally staggering to the ground, taking seven or eight steps back before dissipating the remaining force.

Flander, who had watched the entire match from the sidelines, saw Tang San and Xiao Wu in the arena and felt as if he were seeing Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong from back then. Although Yu Xiaogang didn't have the ability to fight Liu Erlong to such an even pace, their way of getting along was exactly the same. Thinking of this, Flander spoke up.

"Alright, this competition is over. The winners are Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong!"

Upon hearing Flander announce his victory, Xiaowu jumped up happily.

"Yes! I won!"

Seeing Xiao Wu jumping around so happily, Tang San immediately realized she had just been faking it. He wanted to teach her a lesson, but seeing how happy she was, he temporarily suppressed the urge. "Oh well," he thought, "it's alright as long as Xiao Wu is okay." He smiled too.

Tang San had an extremely difficult time in this match. He couldn't use hidden weapons, he couldn't use heavy blows, and his Blue Silver Grass was still useful (but he couldn't figure out how to use it). He lost more than half of his skills.

Watching Tang San and Xiao Wu's sweet interaction, Flander couldn't stand it anymore. It was too cruel to do this to a lonely old man like him.

To escape this awful, bubbly atmosphere, Flander announced the final results.

"I hereby announce that all three of you have passed the academy's fourth test!"

"Welcome to Shrek Academy!"

P.S.: At this stage, when Tang San doesn't yet know that Xiao Wu is a soul beast, it's probably when Tang San's feelings for Xiao Wu are at their purest! After that, Xiao Wu was completely turned into a tool, and whether his feelings changed is unknown, but it feels like they can never go back to the way they were.

Since Zhao Wuji and Dai Mubai are both temporarily offline because of Yun Ming, Flander can't force him to follow Zhao Wuji's old path. Let the three-five group have an internal battle, and also commemorate the setting before Douluo had a sequel, which hadn't completely collapsed yet!
