Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 210 Xiao Wu VS Spirit Hall Team

Compared to the doubts and speculations among the original inhabitants of Douluo Continent regarding Huo Wu's abilities, the transmigrators immediately guessed the essence of Huo Wu's abilities.

Even if they guessed it, there was nothing they could do.

After all, they couldn't possibly stop Huo Wu from continuing to develop that ability, could they?

They'll probably get a really bad beating.

"Has Tang San gone mad? Is he really not afraid of the Heaven Dou Royal Team coming after him in the future?" Mu Tian's heart trembled. "And that Yu Tianheng, now that I think about it, could it be that he's being developed in the direction of 'Railgun'? The attack method of that Blue Lightning Dragon Swift is really similar to that of Railgun, except that the projectiles are now soul skills made of condensed lightning."

Mu Tian could understand Huo Wu's actions; he could just think of it as Tang San wanting to build a harem.

But Yu Tianheng...

Could it be that Tang San is bisexual?

However, Mu Tian immediately dismissed this thought, convinced that Tang San must have other motives. After all, taking himself as an example, if he had transmigrated into Tang San's body, even if his teammates possessed the talent, they would never have helped them develop such a sophisticated ability…

In the Heavenly Dou Royal Second Team, Wang Chen's thoughts were almost identical to Mu Tian's, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, he had already decided to lay low and let the other side do whatever they wanted. He would just focus on obeying Xue Qinghe's orders and flattering her. That would be enough. Qian Renxue should at least, probably, possibly, or might still have some lingering affection...

Xu Xing of the Star Crown Sect narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "I'm playing with immortal martial arts formations, and you're talking about universal laws? Hmph! My Great Primordial World will crush everything!"

Ever since he was able to complete the Seven-in-One Martial Soul Fusion Skill with the people from his own academy before the start of the competition, and realized that the cheat he had gained from transmigrating was a formation similar to the Zhou Tian Star Array, Xu Xing was more confident than ever before.

The natives of Douluo are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs.

In Xu Xing's view, the reason why Xingguan Academy was unable to enter the promotion competition was simply because he was ambushed by Huyan Zhuo of Xiangjia Sect. Otherwise, how could he have lost?

Once the Zhou Tian Star Formation is activated, it can crush everything!

On the other side, Michelle from Tianshui Academy was dumbfounded by what she had just witnessed, her heart pounding with shock: "That was Earth Explosion Star? Holy crap! Could it be that Huo Wu, like me, is also a transmigrator who likes the world of anime? Or rather, are all the members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team transmigrated?"

"In my past life, I think I did watch an anime about multiple characters being transported to another world, like Recoome and Spider-Girl..."

"Could it be that my situation is the same?"

At this moment, Huo Wu exhaled a breath of stale air and thought to herself, "That last move used almost half of my soul power. Gravity, that ability is truly powerful."

Ye Lingling helped heal Yan's injuries, and he walked off the field dejectedly.

He couldn't believe that he had lost to a Soul King.

A difference of nearly ten levels in soul power!

The other party acted as if they didn't exist!

Was the opponent's martial spirit too powerful?

Yan wanted to find a reason for his defeat, but then shook his head, thinking to himself, "No! It's definitely not because her martial soul is stronger than mine. Although that's true, it's not the main factor. Her powerful soul power manipulation techniques and that gravity-like attraction are the main reasons why she defeated me with just her first soul skill!"

After recognizing the gap between himself and Huo Wu, Yan felt relieved and decided to find a way to develop powerful self-created soul skills based on the characteristics of his own martial soul.

At least, having been trained by the Spirit Hall since childhood, he understood one thing: the Super Douluo of the Elder Hall rarely used spirit skills in battle, relying instead on their powerful self-created spirit skills and extremely rich combat experience.

Whether or not a Soul Master possesses a self-created Soul Skill can be used as a basis for judging whether a Soul Master is truly powerful.

"Yan, you've done well. I'll get revenge for you in the next match." Xie Yue patted Yan's shoulder, comforting him. "Your opponent is really strong, but that move just now must have consumed a lot of your soul power... Sigh, it might be an unfair victory, but what can you do when it's a qualifying match?"

However, when Xie Yue entered the arena, Huo Wu jumped off, while Xiao Wu jumped onto the stage. After her martial soul was activated, five spirit rings—one yellow, two purple, and two black—appeared around her.

The Second Ring Road lasts a thousand years, the Fourth Ring Road lasts ten thousand years.

Excluding the fifth spirit ring, its configuration is arguably no less than Tang's.

"Tang Wu, Tang San's younger sister, right?" The Spirit Hall naturally also had information about Xiao Wu. However, since it was Matthew who reported it (at Tang San's request), the Spirit Hall's understanding of Xiao Wu was that she was Tang San's younger sister. After all, the full name of Xiao Wu reported by Matthew was Tang Wu.

"That's right, but not by blood," Xiao Wu deliberately corrected.

"Is that so?" Xie Yue didn't take it seriously. After all, according to the information, both of them were commoners, and their Soft Bone Rabbit and Blue Silver Grass were considered useless martial souls among animal and plant martial souls.

However, these two seemingly useless martial souls became incredibly powerful under Tang San's guidance.

The name of a master of martial spirit theory.

Tang San truly deserves the title!

"Let me see what you're capable of."

Xie Yue's eyes narrowed, and he drew a circle with his arms in front of his chest, slowly unfolding them. Two moon blades appeared in his hands, their blades flashing with cold light, and then two beams of light shot out.

Facing the two lightning-fast blades, Xiao Wu seemed to have anticipated them. She shifted her body to the side, slightly bent her knees, and dodged the two attacks. Then, her fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up.

Lightning flash!

Noisy!

A golden arc of electricity flashed for a moment, and Xiao Wu seemed to teleport, rushing in front of Xie Yue. Her hands transformed into blades, condensing into cold jade, and her fifth soul ring flashed, with two balls of golden flames wrapped around her Xuan Yu hand blades.

Xiao Wu's fifth soul skill is the Flame Fist, which can be used for close combat and long-range attacks. However, as her control improves, she can also concentrate the power of the soul skill in her hands and transform it into a Flame Blade.

Since weapons are not allowed in the Mainland Elite Tournament, short swords are also prohibited, and this is the only alternative.

Even so, with Xiao Wu's physical attributes now fully refined with jade bones, combined with the speed and inertia of her fourth soul skill and the burst of flames from her fifth soul skill, even ordinary soul saints would find it difficult to contend with her.

This was before Xiao Wu even used her third soul skill, True Spirit Bone.

Otherwise, even a Contra master wouldn't be able to defeat Xiao Wu within a hundred moves.

Therefore, facing Xiao Wu's lightning-fast frontal assassination, Xie Yue had no time to react. Even though he instinctively held the Moon Blade in front of him, he was still forced to retreat by Xiao Wu's two Flaming Hand Blades.

If not for a quick reaction to stab the Moon Blade into the arena and increase friction, Xie Yue would have fallen out of the arena.

"Such strong power, is this guy really an agility-based attacker?" Xie Yue sensed that one of his feet was already in the air. Without turning around, he realized that he had already reached the very edge of the arena.

After that attack, Xiao Wu didn't immediately pursue. Instead, she slowly straightened up, flexed her wrists, and said, "Not bad, those two knives are quite hard."

硬？

Xie Yue's heart sank.

He managed to withstand the attack, but the two moon blades hadn't completely stopped vibrating yet, and his own hand was cracked. The force of the vibration spread throughout his body, causing his internal organs to churn.

Whether I could withstand it again is unknown.

Moreover, the opponent's speed was too fast for me to see clearly. Even though my own speed was not slow, compared to the opponent, I was like a tortoise and a hare.

"Again!"

Xie Yue, who was struggling to stand up, was incredibly stubborn. As a member of the Spirit Hall team, he could not admit defeat.

"Hehe, you're pretty tough. But when it comes to Xiao Wu, enemies either run away or are utterly defeated." After saying that trash talk, Xiao Wu's figure disappeared instantly.

"Where?"

When Xie Yue saw clearly, he felt a gust of wind beside his ear and hurriedly swung his moon blades toward his head, but he missed.

Xiao Wu had just dodged the attack by tilting her head back, but her body was at a 60-degree angle to the ground.

Watch your step!

Xiao Wu tied her long braid around Xie Yue's ankle and pulled hard, causing Xie Yue to lose his balance.

"Not good!" Xie Yue was shocked. In the past, he would not have lost his balance, but he had been hit by Xiao Wu, and his internal organs were shaken. He was in poor condition. In addition, his twin swords were stuck in a stalemate and he did not have time to swing them down to cut off Xiao Wu's hair.

Xiao Wu's body slumped to one side, and after her right hand touched the ground, Xie Yue was also lifted up. During this time, Xiao Wu activated her first soul skill, Waist Bow. Using her waist strength, her legs, like springs gathering momentum, kicked Xie Yue hard in the abdomen. The scorpion tail braid wrapped around his ankles also loosened at that moment.

call out--

Xie Yue was like a cannonball, falling out of the arena and embedding himself in the wall.

The force of this blow was astonishing.

At Tang San's signal, Ye Lingling immediately rushed over to treat him, to avoid damaging the harmony between the two academies...

···

"That child's physical fitness is very strong." Bibi Dong saw Xiao Wu's strength. It wasn't just that her soul power was abundant, but more importantly, her physical strength was second only to Tang San, and she might even be a notch stronger in terms of flexibility.

The flexibility of the Soft-Boned Rabbit is perfectly embodied in Xiao Wu.

just,

Why does that long braid look so familiar?

Bibi Dong pondered this point, but ultimately shook her head, thinking to herself, "Without the aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it must just be similar... Before Huo Yuhao revealed his true form, he didn't seem to have the corresponding soul beast aura either, but he did seem to have been human before..."

Compared to others, Bibi Dong knew Huo Yuhao's situation better, but it was precisely because she knew that she was even more puzzled and couldn't understand why a person would become a soul beast.

Could it be because of that million-year-old ice silkworm?

Soul beasts can transform into human form.

Therefore, humans can transform into spirit beasts?

This world is truly crazy...

···

"Xiao Wu wins against Heaven Dou Royal Academy," Chrysanthemum Douluo announced, then added, "Please send the third member of the Spirit Hall team to the field."

Then, a Soul Master entered the arena.

Instead of Hu Liena taking the stage, she planned to observe Xiao Wu's strength more closely in order to find her weakness and defeat her in one fell swoop.

After all, the members of the Tiandu Royal Team are all extremely powerful. Yu Tianheng and Huo Wu are both capable of fighting opponents of higher levels, even those of a whole level.

While their golden generation possessed higher levels of soul power and other attributes, they were still no match for these geniuses who could create their own soul skills.

There's also Xiao Wu. This girl grew up with Tang San and received the most guidance. In terms of overall strength, she's probably second only to Tang San, the strongest member of the Heaven Dou Royal Team.

Xiao Wu didn't show much in the previous preliminary elimination rounds and the first few qualifying matches, so she definitely won't be playing just one match today.

And just as Hu Liena had predicted, Xiao Wu did not quit after winning one match, but continued to challenge and defeated four Soul Masters from the Spirit Hall team in succession.

Compared to Xie Yue, Xiao Wu did not use any soul skills when facing these four people. She defeated them simply by relying on the speed advantage brought by her martial soul possession.

After all, Tang San was training her to be an assassin, teaching her which parts of the human body were weak and which acupoints would become powerless if struck.

Therefore, Xiao Wu used almost no soul power to defeat four people in a row.

In the eyes of the audience, Xiao Wu only struck some parts of the body of the Spirit Hall team members, and her strength was not great. However, the four members of the Spirit Hall team seemed to have their strength drained, and they either cried out in pain, trembled, or fainted.

Feel--

It's like fixing a match.

If this weren't the Spirit Hall team, and if the audience weren't mostly from Spirit City, with the current Pope, the emperors of the two empires, and the various judging panels also watching, a large number of people would probably be clamoring for refunds.

"Uncle Sword, do you know what methods Xiao Wu used?" Ning Fengzhi asked Sword Douluo, equally puzzled.

"I understand some of the places she attacked; they are the weak points of the human body. When they are hit, the soul power will be hindered and the muscles will be paralyzed. But the rest of the places..." Sword Douluo pondered, pinching his sword fingers, comparing the parts of the field that had been hit, finding the corresponding places on his own body, and pressing down.

"hiss--"

Sword Douluo gasped, hurriedly calming the chaotic soul power within his body, and said, "Those locations should also affect the flow of soul power, and even cause it to run rampant within the body."

"This requires a strong understanding of body structure."

"So, it was Tang San who taught them?"

Sword Douluo guessed correctly.

Xiao Wu attacks acupoints on the human body.

The Xuan Tian Bao Lu (Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record) naturally contains charts marking major acupoints on the human body. However, this is not closely related to the cultivation of the Xuan Tian Gong (Mysterious Heaven Skill). It mainly serves as an instruction for Tang Clan disciples, allowing them to accurately locate the enemy's acupoints when using hidden weapons to attack them and break through their defenses.

Although Tang San did not inherit the method of making and using hidden weapons, he explored the effects of the weapons on the human body based on the corresponding acupoints and then taught them to Xiao Wu so that she could use them in battle. This was certainly a way to defeat the enemy.

Moreover, knowing the functions of various acupoints in the human body is of great help to Xiaowu's side business: medical research, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

However, in the eyes of the audience, Xiao Wu's methods were a bit strange.

However, to achieve the current effect, one needs extremely strong soul power control ability in order to accurately inject one's own strength and soul power into the enemy's corresponding acupoints.

Moreover, different martial souls have different soul power attributes. If you rashly inject incompatible soul power into someone else's body, the damage you will suffer will be even greater.

"You're the last one left, Hu Liena, the last member of the Spirit Hall team." Xiao Wu waved to Hu Liena, signaling her not to dawdle.

"Breathe in."

Taking a deep breath, Hu Liena calmed herself down.

Of the five matches Xiao Wu fought, aside from the battle against her brother Xie Yue where she used her first, fourth, and fifth soul skills, she had no idea what methods Xiao Wu used in the remaining four matches.

"The battle begins!" Chrysanthemum Douluo shouted, then left and jumped off the field, leaving the stage to the two women on the field.

"You look very nervous." Xiao Wu put one hand on her hip and swung her scorpion tail braid in the other, the golden tree short sword tied to the end spinning rapidly, creating a blur of afterimages.

Hu Liena felt slighted by his relaxed demeanor and couldn't help but ask, "Is that a weapon tied to your hair?"

"That's true, but it's useless against your brother. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lasted a single round against me." Xiao Wu continued to flick her scorpion braid with her hand, looking completely nonchalant. "After all, this is a competition. I can't use killer moves, or he won't even have time to heal..."

Before the word "heal" could even be uttered, Hu Liena pounced on her, her soul power transforming into pink smoke that seemed poised to engulf the entire area.

"uh-huh?"

Xiao Wu leaned back to dodge Hu Liena's attack, then, taking advantage of Hu Liena's body being directly above her, she immediately performed a backflip, arched her back, clamped her legs around Hu Liena's waist, flipped her over, and pinned Hu Liena's hands to the ground.

Xiao Wu was sitting on Hu Liena's stomach.

"As expected of a fox, so cunning. But trying to eat a rabbit like me won't be easy." Xiao Wu chuckled, then quickly glanced around at the pink smoke-covered surroundings, sniffed, sneezed, and continued, "Your soul skill can block outside vision. If someone else inhales it, it will cause their muscles to weaken, and those with weak willpower will even experience hallucinations. Also, it seems that if you inhale it yourself, it can slightly restore your soul power, right?"

Hu Liena felt like she'd seen a ghost, and for a moment she forgot to struggle: "You just sniffed around and knew what my role was?"

"Is there anything difficult about this?" Xiao Wu said matter-of-factly, then released Hu Liena's hands, slowly got up, and stretched, leaving herself wide open, as if she wasn't worried at all about Hu Liena suddenly attacking.

Hu Liena did not attack, wary that this might be Xiao Wu's way of luring her in.

Xiao Wu continued, "I've followed Third Brother for so many years, and I also study medicine. I have an excellent understanding of the body's bones, internal organs, meridians, and acupoints. Furthermore, I have extensive research on medicines. There are medicines in the world that have effects similar to your soul skill."

Hu Liena knew about bones and internal organs, but she had no concept of meridians and acupoints. However, she roughly realized that they were human organs, and that for a medical practitioner, applying such methods to the human body could have unexpected effects. The four people before had their meridians and acupoints hit by Xiao Wu, which rendered them unable to fight.

Xiao Wu might even be using those four people to practice!

The setting of this book is that Douluo Planet is not large, about the same size as Earth, but the outer space of the universe can be very vast, no different from the real universe.

The universe as described by the gods, as defined in this book, is the area that the gods themselves recognize and govern, which is the size of 108 planets.

It can be said that the gods in the divine realm, due to their limited knowledge and understanding of science, or because their understanding differs from that of modern people, believe that the small galaxy cluster under their jurisdiction with 108 inhabited planets is the universe, while other galaxy clusters are other universes.

However, it cannot be said that the entire universe where Douluo Star and the God Realm Star Cluster are located is very small.

In short, it's still a cognitive problem of information asymmetry.
