Douluo: The Op-Op Fruit, skilled at researching them

Chapter 26, Section 26: Retracting the Penis into the Abdomen

"I think... I saw it..." Tang San felt the cold glint in his eye and said bitterly, "What's the name of your move?"

The moment Tang San opened his mouth to answer, Luo suddenly drew his sword and caught him off guard. Before Tang San could react, Luo was already in front of him with his sword.

While Tang San was certainly careless and didn't have time to use his soul skills, the main reason was Luo Wu's unparalleled speed, which caught him completely off guard.

However, after regaining his composure and thinking about it carefully, Tang San had a vague feeling that even if he had been prepared at the time, he probably wouldn't have had time to use his skills.

It was because he vaguely sensed a kind of "charm" in Luo, a "charm" that shifted from extreme stillness to extreme movement in an instant, a charm that was extremely mysterious!

Luo had not summoned his martial spirit before, but stood calmly in a state of extreme stillness. However, the moment he drew his sword, he immediately switched between yin and yang, transforming from extreme stillness to extreme movement!

It can be said that "silence is golden, but when it is, it is astonishing!"

"If I could do it all over again..." Tang San thought to himself, "I should strike first, and instead of using soul skills, I should use hidden weapons to catch him off guard before he can draw his sword!"

What Tang San didn't know was that Luo's move "Snowflakes Falling in the Human World" was just a single sword-drawing slash, but the profound principle it contained was already very close to the superior realm of swordsmanship - "the opportunity of movement and stillness"!

The first sword strike is naturally the most basic and powerful technique in swordsmanship. As long as the opponent can dodge the first sword strike, the subsequent attacks will be no threat.

However, after understanding the profound principle of swordsmanship, "the opportunity of movement and stillness," this simplest yet most difficult first strike is not so easy to dodge!

If we were to give a prime example, then the blind swordsman Zatoichi would be the best representative. The sword technique he usually displays most often is a sudden Iaijutsu!

The reason Zatoichi was able to perform such a dazzling Iaijutsu was because he had mastered the art of swordsmanship, understanding the interplay of movement and stillness, which allowed him to sever an object before anyone could react.

Moreover, Zatoichi's swordsmanship is clearly not that advanced. After all, he can cut people's clothes without hurting their bodies even when he can't see them, which is not something that ordinary people can do!

Clearly, Zatoichi had also reached a certain level in his meditation practice, which enabled him to see things with his "mind's eye"!

In other words, to truly reach the level of swordsmanship that embodies the interplay of movement and stillness, one must cultivate a certain level of meditative concentration!

However, this is not a matter that Luo can consider at the moment!

Luo was well aware of his shortcomings. He didn't have a great master to teach him profound swordsmanship, nor did he have enough time to master such complex techniques. Therefore, he could only work hard on the most basic moves!

However, he doesn't need to have a high level of swordsmanship. As long as he can learn a few basic moves that won't hinder his close combat, that's enough. After all, his main strength comes from the power of the Op-Op Fruit and his soul skills!

In fact, during the battle just now, Luo secretly used his first soul skill, "Extreme Overload," which allowed him to possess such unpredictable speed, enabling Tang San to be defeated in an instant.

The reason why Luo did not reveal his martial soul and soul ring when he used his first soul skill was because he used a skill from the Op-Op Fruit on himself.

This skill was only developed at the end of this month, and Luo named it "Vaginal Shrinkage Surgery".

As the name suggests, when this skill is used on oneself, it can "shrink" the spirit ring into the body, similar to shrinking the yang into the abdomen. Even if it has been summoned, it will not appear in the outside world.

That's why Luo can secretly use his soul skills without being discovered, because his soul ring has already "shrunk into his abdomen"!

After learning this skill, Luo's ability to launch surprise attacks became much easier. After all, who would have thought he could use a soul skill without revealing his soul rings?

At this moment, both Master and Xiao Wu, who were watching from the sidelines, were completely dumbfounded and stood there for a long time, unable to come back to their senses.

Suddenly, Luo acted again.

He took a step back, not even glancing at Tang San's unpleasant expression, and skillfully sheathed his sword without looking down once. He then put the 1.3-meter-long katana into its sheath.

"Snowflakes Falling on Earth!" Luo turned around and said calmly, "This move is called 'Snowflakes Falling on Earth'!"

"Snowflakes Falling on Earth, huh? I'll remember that. Next time we fight, I won't give you the chance to suddenly draw your sword again..."

Tang San lowered his head and muttered to himself, unsure whether he was speaking to Luo or to himself.

However, even if Tang San can see through the essence of this sword-drawing slash, Luo will not give him any chance to win in their next encounter.

Thinking this, Luo took Xiao Wu's hand and walked away.

Only the master and disciple Tang San were left standing there, looking at each other, speechless.

…………

Five days later, in the Starry Sky Forest, a young boy and girl strolled through it.

At this moment, Xiao Wu was already in the state of being possessed by her martial soul, transforming into a "bunny girl" with a yellow soul ring slowly pulsating beneath her.

Because Xiao Wu is usually too lazy, only caring about fighting and playing with others, and neglecting meditation and cultivation, her soul power level is similar to Tang San's, only level sixteen.

The latest novel is first published here!

At this point, the main task of fighting could only be handled by Luo.

He was holding the hilt of Yama's sword, standing calmly in front of a soul beast that looked just like a bull dragon.

However, his slightly tense body quietly revealed that he was not calm at the moment, because the soul beast he was facing was a dragon-slaying beast with a trace of dragon blood.

Previously, Luo fabricated a story that his first spirit ring came from a 400-year-old dragon-slaying beast, and unexpectedly, his words came true, as he actually encountered a dragon-slaying beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, this dragon-slaying creature's cultivation level wasn't very high, only about two thousand years, which could be seen from its body length of only about ten meters.

When the dragon cub is first born, it is only one meter long. After that, it grows to five meters every thousand years of cultivation, until it reaches ten thousand years of cultivation.

"Rabbit spirit, didn't you say that as long as you appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, you could attract the Titan Giant Ape? It's been almost a whole day, why haven't we seen the Titan Giant Ape yet!"

Luo shouted loudly, not daring to turn his head to look at Xiao Wu beside him, because at this moment he didn't have much soul power left in his body, and he couldn't relax at all when facing the dragon-slaying opponent.
