Douluo Tang San, stop rolling

Chapter 28 Seven Monsters Fighting Spirit King

The battlefield is about to start

Dai Mubai's martial spirit possessed him, his hair turned black and white, his muscles swelled, and his hands grew sharp tiger claws as he rushed towards Ye Zhiqiu and slapped him.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand shone, and the two hundred-year soul rings under her feet flashed. A stream of soul power shot towards Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Ma Hongjun and Tang San. The strength and speed of the five people increased by 30% at the same time.

Facing Dai Mubai's attack, Ye Zhiqiu remained calm and the soul ring under his feet lit up.

"First Soul Skill - Black Turtle Body Protection"

A green tortoise shell suddenly appeared on Ye Zhiqiu's body, covering his entire body and blocking Dai Mubai's attack.

"Fourth Soul Skill - Black Turtle Shock"

As soon as Dai Mu's white tiger claws hit the opponent's tortoise shell, he felt a recoil force that pushed him back. His right hand trembled slightly and even had a layer of frost on it.

Tang San, whose eyes glowed purple, saw this and immediately warned:

"The opponent is a defensive soul king. His tortoise shell has the effect of recoil and cold erosion. Don't get close to him easily!"

Then he leaned over and slapped the ground with his palm, shouting "Fatty!"

Xu Dongyang saw the first soul rings of Tang San and Ma Hongjun light up.

First Soul Skill——Blue Silver Entanglement

First Soul Skill - Phoenix Fireline

Then a large amount of blue silver grass appeared out of thin air from the ground and wrapped around Ye Zhiqiu, while Ma Hongjun flew in the air and spit out a beam of fire towards Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu crossed his hands and half-knelt. As his soul power surged, the second soul ring under his feet lit up.

"Second Soul Skill - Mysterious Water Freezing"

His tortoise shell blocked the entanglement of the blue silver grass. Although he himself could not move, a cold current spewed out of his mouth and collided with Ma Hongjun's fire line, and a large amount of steam suddenly emitted in the air.

There was a gap of more than 20 levels in spirit power between the two men, and soon Ma Hongjun was at a disadvantage in the fight. Tang San wrapped the blue silver grass around his waist and pulled it. The cold current, which lost its resistance, shot towards the wall behind and instantly turned into a long block of ice.

At this time, Xu Dongyang on the side saw Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu taking advantage of the steam to block their vision and quickly approach Ye Zhiqiu, attacking from the left and right sides respectively. Xiao Wu raised her leg and kicked Ye Zhiqiu in the face, while Zhu Zhuqing grabbed the back of his head.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't have a tortoise shell on his head, so he retracted his head to avoid the sneak attack of the two men. Just as the two were about to attack each other's tortoise shells, Xu Dongyang reminded them, "Retreat!" The two men reacted instantly after hearing it, one teleported away, and the other quickly retreated.

When the two of them evacuated, Ye Zhiqiu's third soul ring flickered.

The third soul skill - Mysterious Water Agitation

A cold current spread outward with his body as the center. Fortunately, Xu Dongyang spoke out to remind the two of them, otherwise they would probably have become ice sculptures by now.

Fortunately, the cold wave had a limited impact, and all the Shrek people were safe. Dai Mubai then took this opportunity to condense a wave of light from his mouth and shot it at Ye Zhiqiu, who had just released his soul skill and was unable to move. With the help of Ning Rongrong's blessing, the light wave bombarded the opponent's tortoise shell, pushing his body directly into the wall behind. The wall suddenly collapsed and buried Ye Zhiqiu.

Before everyone could be happy, they saw Ye Zhiqiu slowly stand up from the ruins, waving his right hand to disperse the dust in the air, and looking at everyone fiercely, "I was careless, I won't give you another chance next time." His tone was quite angry, it was the first time he was made so embarrassed by a group of juniors.

Everyone at Shrek looked serious when they heard this. Dai Mubai mocked, "No matter how many times you come here, the result will be the same!"

Ye Zhiqiu sneered and roared: "Fifth soul skill - Black Turtle Waters!"

Suddenly, his whole body's soul power surged like a tide and spread around. Xu Dongyang, who was far away in the center of the battlefield, also felt the increase in air humidity. A large number of fresh water puddles suddenly appeared on the ground in the field. These puddles seemed to be under control and all appeared within a range of ten meters in diameter.

Xu Dongyang's eyes showed a trace of shock. He didn't expect that the other party, who didn't even have the best spirit ring configuration, could have a pseudo-domain spirit skill. Those who can become a teacher in the academy are indeed very capable. He quickly opened his mouth to remind the Shrek people:

"Be careful, this skill may be similar to a domain skill. He may be able to use the water remotely, but the disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of water!"

As soon as Ye Zhiqiu finished speaking, he looked at Xu Dongyang. He had never thought that this young man was so knowledgeable and could see through his move at a glance. Moreover, every time he made eye contact with the other party, he always had the illusion that he was no match for him. The reason he thought it was an illusion was because he didn't believe that the other party could be stronger than him at this age.

When the Shrek people heard Xu Dongyang's words, they all felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. Then Ye Zhiqiu used his power again.

"Second Soul Skill - Mysterious Water Freezing"

But what was different this time was that not only did he spit out cold breath from his mouth, but even the puddles on the ground shot out water arrows, and the attack quickly covered all the Shrek people.

Tang San reacted the fastest with his Purple Demon Pupil. In an instant he used the Blue Silver Grass to roll up Oscar and Ning Rongrong and retreated towards the attack range. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing relied on teleportation and speed to quickly evacuate the attack range.

Only Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were unable to escape effectively for a while. Ma Hongjun flew in the air to dodge, but there were too many water arrows. Although he could fly, he was not good at speed, and he was soon hit.

His butt was hit by a stream of water arrows. Perhaps because there were so many of them, the power was not great and it just froze Ma Hongjun's butt into an ice cube. Then he fell to the ground from the air, crawling on the ground with his butt sticking up to the sky, looking funny.

Dai Mubai roared:

"The third soul skill - White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"

"First Soul Skill - White Tiger Body Barrier"

He then head-on withstood many water arrows. Although he was not as embarrassed as Ma Hongjun, the ice under his feet froze his movements.

Ye Zhiqiu's third soul ring flickered, and the black water surged, knocking Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun flying. The two fell to the ground, their faces turned pale. Although they were not seriously injured, their internal organs and meridians were frozen by the cold.

Just when Ye Zhiqiu was about to step forward to teach the two of them a lesson, Xu Dongyang suddenly appeared behind him and held him down.

"That's it!"

A calm voice sounded behind him. Ye Zhiqiu was slightly startled. He turned to look at Xu Dongyang and said, "What about my students? Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"I can't give you an explanation, but you can try to get it yourself." Xu Dongyang looked at him with a faint smile. Ye Zhiqiu saw the arrogance in his eyes, as if he didn't take him seriously, and he suddenly became angry:

"Fourth Soul Skill - Black Turtle Shock"

"Second Soul Skill - Mysterious Water Freezing"

Xu Dongyang's hand was shaken away by him, and then the cold current gathered in his mouth and he was about to spit it out, but suddenly he was hit in the abdomen by a stick. He immediately felt nauseous and curled up his body, unable to help dry heaving.

"Are you still fighting?" Xu Dongyang's voice rang out, exuding a sense of confidence. As early as when the opponent was gathering strength to perform his second soul skill, he summoned the Ruyi Stick, which became longer and stabbed the opponent directly.

Ye Zhiqiu was not convinced at first, but when he looked up and saw that the opponent was actually a four-ring soul master, he knew that he had to suffer a loss today. After using the fifth soul skill, his soul power was too much consumed and it was difficult for him to fight against a soul master.

"I didn't expect you to be the strongest one. We lose this time. What do you want to do?" Ye Zhiqiu's discouraged voice sounded.

"You guys go!" Xu Dongyang said calmly after taking back the Ruyi Stick. He had no conflict with the other party and was too lazy to care about it. It was only after seeing Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun get their lessons that he decided to take action to resolve the issue.

Afterwards, Ye Zhiqiu took his students out of the inn, and the Shrek people came forward. Tang San supported Dai Mubai, and Oscar supported Ma Hongjun.

"Brother Dong, you are awesome! You made that old turtle obedient with just one move." Oscar gave him a thumbs up and flattered him.

"Okay, take them back to their room to rest. We still have to go to the Star Forest tomorrow."

Afterwards, the group returned to their respective rooms to rest, and Zhao Wuji also withdrew his gaze from the second floor.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 29 Dilemma

Early the next morning, the Shrek people got up and gathered together under the rough voice of Zhao Wuji. After having a meal together, they headed to the Star Dou Great Forest.

After entering the forest, Zhao Wuji said, "You will arrange the operation yourselves this time. I will not act rashly unless we encounter a ten thousand year old soul beast." After that, he kept silent and walked to the side of the team, handing over the command to everyone.

Dai Mubai's eyes flickered and his mind turned. He glanced at Xu Dongyang, and seeing that he didn't seem to have any intention of speaking, he suggested, "Xu Dongyang, you lead the way in front, Tang San will be in the back to provide support at any time, Ning Rongrong and Oscar will be in the middle, Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun, you two will be in charge of the flanks, and Zhu Zhuqing and I will cover the rear. How about that?"

Xu Dongyang did not speak. He could see clearly what the other party was thinking. Although he was unhappy, he was not going to expose the other party and ruin their relationship, so he simply remained silent.

Dai Mubai still has considerable prestige in the hearts of the Shrek people. Seeing that Xu Dongyang did not refute, although there were few responses, everyone began to adjust the formation according to Dai Mubai's proposal until Zhu Zhuqing's voice sounded.

"I don't agree! As a quick attack spirit master, I have a faster speed and am more suitable for reconnaissance. I suggest that Tang San and I switch positions. As a control spirit master, it will be more advantageous for Tang San to stand at the back of the team." Zhu Zhuqing's voice was cold, and her eyes were emotionless, as if she was really making a reasonable analysis.

After thinking for a while, Tang San agreed with Zhu Zhuqing's opinion, "I think it's okay. This will indeed better play to the team's strengths. What do you think, Boss Dai?" Tang San turned to Dai Mubai and asked.

Everyone turned their heads to look. Dai Mubai's face turned pale and he could only say helplessly, "Well, that works." But his voice was a little cold, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Zhuqing seemed to want to eat her.

Zhu Zhuqing indifferently ignored the other party's eyes, walked forward and led the way for the team with Xu Dongyang.

An unknown amount of time had passed, and the Shrek group had been searching in the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time. Relying on Oscar's sausages to replenish their energy, they were not exhausted much. Only Oscar looked pale, obviously due to excessive consumption of spirit power, and was carried away by Tang San.

Tang San noticed Oscar's shortness of breath and poor condition, so he suggested to everyone, "Everyone, let's find a place to rest. Oscar can't absorb the right spirit ring even if he finds it in his current state."

Everyone stopped and looked at Oscar's condition and agreed to take a break. Oscar was helped down by Tang San with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you everyone, I was the one who held you back."

"Oscar, we are all brothers, why are you being so polite?"

"Yeah! We can maintain sufficient physical strength thanks to your sausages. Don't say such things again!"

Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai comforted Oscar immediately. Xu Dongyang looked at this scene and thought to himself: "To be honest, although these two have many flaws in their personalities, they are indeed the leaders of the Shrek Seven Devils in terms of righteousness."

Both he and Tang San are quite mature in their inner age, and it is difficult for them to have such youthful sentimentality. They pay more attention to the cruel interests of reality than the pure and beautiful brotherhood.

As for the remaining three Shrek girls, do women understand friendship between men? Can women understand the affection between men? Wouldn't they feel childish?

(Here I originally wanted to write that women know nothing about men's friendship, but I feel that this is a bit ambiguous towards women, and I don't have a girlfriend and I don't really know what girls think. In case some female readers use this to cause trouble, I plan to be more rigorous and not start a map cannon.)

While thinking, Xu Dongyang sniffed and suddenly came to his senses: "Do you smell any fragrance?" After saying that, he sniffed carefully and kept walking around to find the source of the smell.

After hearing Xu Dongyang's words, everyone also sensed it carefully. Tang San frowned slightly and said, "It smells a bit like plant medicine, and also a bit of fruit. It's in the northwest direction." After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to a direction.

Everyone looked confused. This had never happened before. Ma Hongjun was a little excited and asked, "Is it some kind of treasure?"

Everyone rolled their eyes. Ma Hongjun was a little confused. "Isn't it?"

Xu Dongyang then began to explain: "Divine objects are naturally hidden. There are many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Natural treasures like these that exude an alluring aura have long been eaten by soul beasts, and it is not our turn. Most of the real natural treasures are not very eye-catching." In addition to the magic grass in the eyes of Binghuo Liangyin, Xu Dongyang added silently in his heart at the end.

"Something must be wrong when it's out of the ordinary. I'll go see what's going on." Xu Dongyang turned around and left in the direction Tang San pointed before anyone could speak. Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment and followed closely, "I'll go with him so we can look after each other."

Before anyone could speak out to stop them, they saw the two figures disappear into the jungle, leaving only two sentences echoing in everyone's ears.

Everyone simply stopped trying to stop them, as the two were strong enough to protect themselves. Only Dai Mubai felt uneasy as he watched the two men leave. Although he knew nothing would happen to them, he still felt very unhappy seeing Zhu Zhuqing and the other man leaving alone.

On the other side, Xu Dongyang walked two kilometers after leaving the crowd. It seemed far, but for a soul master, it was only a few minutes' journey. Soon he came to a fruit forest.

What comes into view are dozens of fruit trees of the same variety. The trees are shaped like willow trees with lush branches, but the strange thing is that the trunks and branches are dark red, and the treetops are covered with dozens of bright red fruits of various sizes, shaped like peaches. Their color is rosy and bright as blood, and the fragrance comes from these fruits.

Xu Dongyang stood there looking at the woods without making any rash moves. The atmosphere here made him feel indescribably weird and a little too dead. Soon Zhu Zhuqing followed him from behind.

"Is this where the fragrance comes from?" Zhu Zhuqing looked around and soon saw the colorful, smooth and round fruits on the tree. The girl was simple-minded and approached the fruit tree without thinking much. She stood under the tree and looked up at the fruits on the tree.

Xu Dongyang wanted to remind her, but he couldn't tell what was strange, and he could provide support immediately if something really happened, so he just stood by and watched Zhu Zhuqing's every move.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing under the tree and watching, suddenly felt the fruit in front of her eyes glowing and her eyes suddenly became blurred. Xu Dongyang at the side shouted in surprise, "Be careful!" From his perspective, the branches of the surrounding fruit trees suddenly squirmed and wrapped around Zhu Zhuqing.

Xu Dongyang rushed forward, but at this time other fruit trees around him extended their branches to block him. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing trapped like a dumpling, Xu Dongyang opened fire in a hurry.

"Second soul skill - Fury!"

"Self-created soul skill - lightning and flint!"

"Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's External Soul Bone—Dark Gold Terror Claw!"

There was a flash of lightning on his body, and a ten-centimeter dark golden claw grew out of his right hand, emitting sharp dark golden claw light. With his lightning speed and sharp attack, he cut through the encirclement woven by branches and quickly broke through to approach Zhu Zhuqing.

The two were not far from each other, only a few dozen meters away. In a flash, Xu Dongyang arrived in front of Zhu Zhuqing in two breaths. He swung his right claw upwards, cutting off the branches of the magic tree connected to Zhu Zhuqing. Then he turned his wrist and swung the claw downwards to tear apart the branches that were wrapped around Zhu Zhuqing.

Then he reached forward with his left hand, grabbed the opponent's arm and pulled him away, and hurriedly shouted, "You retreat first, I will help you block the attack!"

"I have no strength left. My soul power has been sucked dry." Zhu Zhuqing's weak voice came.

When Xu Dongyang turned around, he saw that the other person's face was pale and exhausted. The attack of the magic trees had already arrived. In a hurry, he grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's hand and pulled her into his arms, hugged her waist tightly, and his body flashed with lightning as he dodged the willow branches that attacked from all directions.

The number of these willow branches was astonishing, but their strength and toughness were also average. Xu Dongyang could easily break through them with his speed and the sharpness of his dark gold claws, but now he was holding Zhu Zhuqing, which slowed down his speed and made it difficult for him to move, and he was trapped in place by the willow branches for a while.

Seeing more and more willow branches around him, he said solemnly: "It's hard for me to perform if I hold you, I'll carry you on my back, and you hold me tight."

Zhu Zhuqing leaned against his chest, feeling the manly scent and comfortable body temperature. Her heart was beating fast, and her face was flushed unconsciously. She looked up at his handsome and heroic face and said in a low voice, "Hmm!"

Zhu Zhuqing then took the initiative to cooperate and jumped up behind Xu Dongyang, hooking her hands around his neck. After a slight hesitation, she gritted her teeth and crossed her legs around his waist. Perhaps the posture was too ambiguous and made her shy. Her originally pale cheeks were flushed as she pressed against his back and dared not show her head.

Xu Dongyang felt the heavy pressure from Zhu Zhuqing's impressive figure behind him. He closed his eyes, gathered his mind, concentrated all his soul power on his right hand, and said in a deep voice:

"External Soul Bone Active Skill—Dark Gold Terror Claw!"

The sharp claws on his right hand suddenly grew to thirty centimeters long and emitted a dark golden light. He swung his right hand violently from top to bottom. Five golden claw rays split the earth like thunder, tearing all the willow branches in front of him into pieces, leaving five hideous cracks on the ground.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 30 Phoenix-tailed cockscomb snake

Hearing Xu Dongyang's voice and feeling the strong fluctuation of soul power, Zhu Zhuqing looked up curiously and saw Xu Dongyang shining with dark golden light like a god from heaven. With one claw, he swung out five golden rays that cut through the earth and tore a breakthrough in the encirclement in front. Then, Xu Dongyang broke through easily with a flash of lightning under his feet.

Fortunately, the magic trees themselves could not move, and their branches could only extend to a certain extent. Xu Dongyang carried Zhu Zhuqing and left quickly. Zhu Zhuqing looked back at the five cracks on the ground with a shocked expression, thinking: "I wish my claws had this power!"

Then she turned around to look at Xu Dongyang's handsome face, and she inexplicably felt a sense of security in her heart. This was a feeling she had never experienced before, and it made her unable to stop indulging in it.

Having grown up in an environment like that of the Xingluo royal family and the Zhu family, she had no family affection and no one to rely on. Perhaps there had been someone before, but that person abandoned her and ran away. Now, for the first time, she experienced the sense of security of being able to rely on others. Her fascination made her relax her whole body involuntarily. The exhaustion from having her soul and blood sucked away by the magic tree came over her, and she slowly fell asleep on Xu Dongyang's back.

Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, the exhausted Xu Dongyang slowed down his pace. Feeling Zhu Zhuqing's deep sleep, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The sunlight shone on the boy and girl, like a poem and a painting!

Soon Xu Dongyang met the Shrek people on his way back.
