Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Flander said matter-of-factly, “Now that you have a pool, it’s such a waste for you to just splash around here.”

“I’ll drive these fish in here, and you’ll deal with them in the water, dodging, chasing, and fighting underwater.”

"Isn't this much better than just swimming?"

As he spoke, Flanders casually pointed to the fish in the pond.

"Don't worry, these soul beasts are giant finned black carp, and they are juveniles that are less than ten years old."

"This thing has thick scales, hard bones, and fishy-smelling meat. Nobody eats it, so nobody hunts it."

"Moreover, they are very docile and not aggressive at all. Even if they bite, they won't break the skin."

Oscar swallowed hard.

"Dean, when you say 'not aggressive,' what kind of non-aggressive behavior are you referring to? Like a stray dog, or a rooster?"

Flanders thought for a moment and said, "Probably... somewhere in between."

Everyone: "..."

Tang San spoke up at this moment.

"Dean, you said you brought these fish from the river."

Tang San paused, then asked calmly, "Can you be sure that only the Giant Finned Black Carp has come?"

"Can you guarantee there are no other spirit beasts in the river?"

Flander's smile froze for a moment.

"This one……"

His hand, which was stroking his beard, stopped.

"...Probably not."

"should?"

Oscar's voice suddenly rose, and he said incredulously, "Dean, what do you mean by 'should'?"

Flanders coughed lightly.

“I’m familiar with the Barak River. The upper reaches are mostly inhabited by giant finned black carp. Other soul beasts rarely go there.”

"rare?"

Oscar stared at him and said.

Flander touched his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Alright, alright, how about this?"

"When you go into the water for training later, I'll have Shao Xin or Zhao Wuji come and keep watch."

"With a Soul Saint-level teacher on the shore, even if something unexpected happens, you will be fine."

When Flanders said this, his tone was noticeably weaker than before.

The students looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ma Hongjun muttered under his breath, "It's as if the Soul Saint could save people in time..."

“I can hear you.” Flanders glanced at him.

Ma Hongjun immediately shut up.

Wang Teng looked at the fish still swimming leisurely in the pond, then at his companions on the shore who had just been frightened and now looked helpless, and sighed softly.

"So, Dean," Wang Teng said, "starting today, our swimming training will officially be upgraded to 'underwater combat training'?"

Flander's eyes lit up.

"This name is good, let's go with it."

The dean stroked his beard again and nodded with satisfaction.

"Alright, you guys get used to it first. You don't need to go into the water today. Just observe the fish's habits from the shore."

Training officially begins tomorrow.

After saying that, Flander spread his wings and, without waiting for the students to say anything more, took off and disappeared into the afternoon light in the blink of an eye.

A group of people were left on the shore, collectively silent as they watched the shimmering scales swimming in the pond.

After a long while, Ning Rongrong spoke softly.

"Um... is it too late for me to say I don't want to train anymore?"

Wang Teng turned to look at Ning Rongrong.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong's hair was still wet, clinging to her cheeks, and her eyes held a hint of fear and worry.

Wang Teng suddenly smiled and said to Ning Rongrong, "It's too late."

"But I can practice with you."

Chapter 144 Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hand

Ning Rongrong paused for a moment, then turned her face away without saying a word.

Her ears were a little red.

In the pool, the giant finned carp were still swimming leisurely, their scales forming a flowing black-gold color on the bottom of the water.

They were completely unaware that they were about to become the first group of underwater sparring partners for a group of young soul masters.

The bamboo forest in the distance rustled in the wind.

It was still very hot at Shrek Academy in the afternoon.

However, starting today, the lively atmosphere at the pool is likely to continue for quite some time.

After Dean Flander's figure completely disappeared into the distant sky, the poolside was quiet for a few seconds.

Wang Teng was still looking up, squinting at the sky where only a few wisps of white clouds remained, marveling at Flander's strength.

It wasn't until Zhu Zhuqing's voice came from the side that Wang Teng's attention was drawn back.

Zhu Zhuqing stood on the bank, looking down at the dark golden shadows swimming in the pool, and asked in a flat tone, "The dean said we should get to know these soul beasts, but how are we supposed to get to know them?"

"Does this mean we have to go into the water and get used to it?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong almost instinctively took a half-step back.

"Go into the water? Now?"

Ning Rongrong waved her hands repeatedly, her voice softening, and said, "No, no, this is too dangerous..."

"I come."

Xiao Wu took a step to the edge of the pool, bent down, and was about to jump directly into the water.

Tang San reacted quickly, grabbing Xiao Wu's wrist and stopping her, saying, "Wait, Xiao Wu."

"Let me try it out first, and test the attack power of these giant finned black carp."

Xiao Wu turned to look at Tang San, her face still showing a hint of eagerness, but she eventually stopped obediently.

Tang San did not immediately go into the water.

Tang San squatted down, placed one knee on the edge of the pool, and slowly dipped his right hand into the water.

Sunlight streamed through the water, casting a shimmering, shallow shadow of Tang San's arm.

Then, Tang San gently flicked it twice.

wow-

The water surface suddenly exploded.

A dark shadow rushed up from the depths, moving so fast that its outline was almost invisible. All that could be seen was a huge mouth that suddenly opened and swallowed Tang San's entire forearm.

"Little San!"

"Third Brother!"

Exclamations erupted simultaneously, and Xiao Wu nearly jumped off.

Wang Teng also took a step forward.

However, Tang San did not move.

Water droplets trickled down his arm, but Tang San's expression remained unchanged.

It turned out that the hand that had been swallowed by the fish's mouth was quickly stained with a layer of glossy white, starting from the fingertips.

This white is not pale, but rather has a warm yet hard luster like jade.

"Mysterious Jade Hand".

"Click—"

The moment the fish's mouth closed, the sound didn't resemble the breaking of bones, but rather the collision of two stones.

Immediately afterwards, the giant finned carp was clearly taken aback.

It bit Tang San's arm and shook its head violently.

However, that jade-like arm remained completely still.

Then, Tang San flipped his wrist.

He then pulled the whole fish out of the water.

The giant finned carp drew a silver arc in the air before crashing heavily onto the land on the shore.

The fish's tail slammed wildly against the ground, splashing water everywhere, while its body continued to bounce.

Wang Teng was the first to rush over and quickly asked, "How was it? How strong was the Giant Finned Black Carp's attack? Were you injured?"

Tang San pulled his arm out of the fish's mouth, and the luster of his Xuan Yu hand slowly faded.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his undamaged skin, then opened the fish's mouth, showing the inside to everyone.

"It has no teeth."

Tang San said, his tone calm.
