55.47% Douluo Dalu: Wulin's Legend (HIATUS) / Chapter 73: Strong enough? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Chapter 73: Strong enough? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Surprisingly, the Spirit Ring of the Golden Holy Calabash still had some residual soul hidden inside.

The soul of the Golden Holy Calabash screeched loudly as it struggled to break free of my integration, attacking my soul.

I was a little shocked by the appearance of the Golden Holy Calabash's soul. Soul shock is only meant to appear on Spirit Beasts at least 10,000 years old.

But this Golden Holy Calabash is quite special, and it is close to 10,000 years old, so it is not unreasonable for it to have a strong soul.

The soul of the Golden Holy Calabash tried to drill its way into my brain, however my mind is not weak.

If you count both lives, I am already 33 years old, my mind is already properly developed, and my willpower is immensely strong.

Although I can't say that it is stronger than Tang San's willpower, it is not much weaker.

After all, I was able to shrug off the life-threatening damage from Er Ming and the sneak attack with this Golden Holy Calabash without my willpower breaking.

Inside my mind, I watched the Golden Holy Calabash's soul fruitlessly try to penetrate my mind, "I have already beaten you once, it will only be easier the second time."

I directed all my killing intent and mind power towards the struggling Golden Holy Calabash, seeking to eliminate its soul once and for all.

The soul of the Golden Holy Calabash let out a mournful screech as it began to disintegrate under my powers, eventually disappearing completely.

Now left with a Spirit Ring without lingering souls, I absorb it in peace.

One hour later, I fully integrate with the Spirit Ring of the Golden Holy Calabash. Information about the Spirit Ability washes over my mind.

The Spirit Ability I have received allows me to create a gourd containing special liquids that can purify toxins in the body.

Currently, it is able to purify all uncommon poisons in the Douluo Dalu Continent, as well as purifying the toxins within the skin, flesh and internal organs.

As expected from a Spirit Beast with a special bloodline, the resulting Spirit Ability is also amazing, I can imagine that when it evolves, it will begin to purify more poisons and more parts of the body.

Before I stand up, I feel the dormant Spirit Power stored in my body start to liven up. I concentrate as I cultivate, allowing the Spirit Power to flow in its usual path.

Pop—

My Spirit Power instantly broke through another rank, reaching the fifty-second level.

I knew I wouldn't be able to use the efficacy of the Lengthy Flaccid Banana much more.

An Immortal Herb of that level can give Tang San and the others around 10 levels, but for me who is much further ahead of them in cultivation, I will only be able to get one or two more levels.

I stand up and stretch my limbs, the Immortal Realm has levelled up now that I received my next Spirit Ring.

Seeing how useful my fifth Spirit Ability is, I plan to devote most of my time in the Immortal Realm to evolving the Spirit Ring to 1,000,000 years old.

*****

Several days passed and the week-long temporary seclusion has been completed. During this time, Tang San was called out by Flander to heal Dugu Yan, also signalling the departure of Dugu Bo.

Now, it will be safe for Little Jing and Xiao Wu even if they aren't concealed by the Yearning Heartbroken Red or my Illusion Ice Transformation.

I spent the entire 48 hours of my time in the Immortal Realm grinding Spirit Beasts and was just barely able to evolve my fifth Spirit Ability to 1,000,000 years old.

The strength that each evolution gained was incredible. Currently, the liquid inside the Purifying Bottle Gourd can purify the skin, flesh, internal organs, meridians, bone marrow and even the soul.

It can also nullify any poison, I'm not sure how far "any" extends, but it should be fine against even Dugu Bo's poison.

I have yet to drink from the Purifying Bottle Gourd since I was worried that the cleansing effect only works once per person.

If I had drunk it when it was only a purple Spirit Ring, I wouldn't get the benefits of cleansing the soul, though the information given by the Spirit Ring didn't say anything about once per person.

All of us were gathered inside Liu Erlong's cabin. Right now, half of us are ready to get our next Spirit Rings.

Of course, nobody knows that I already have my fifth Spirit Ring, I have been using an illusion to hide the fact that I am already rank 52.

I will go with the others to get their Spirit Rings and stage myself absorbing another Spirit Ring, when I am really just absorbing its age.

"Alright, it has been a week already, I will take the others that need a Spirit Ring with Liu Erlong to the Sunset Forest nearby." Yu Xiao Gang said.

"The rest of you, stay at the academy and enter the advanced classes until we come back." He added.

"Grandmaster, I would like to request permission to return to my Clan. I must report the change in my Spirit to my father." Rong Rong spoke up.

Yu Xiao Gang nodded his head, "Alright, permission granted. Don't stay there for too long, there is still much to prepare for the Continental Tournament."

Everyone knew just how major of an incident Rong Rong's secondary awakening was, if it weren't for her consolidating her foundation, she would have already gone back to her clan.

All of us left Liu Erlong's cabin to go and prepare for our journey to the Sunset Forest.

The girls packed some clothes while Rong Rong and I sat on the bed watching them.

"Brother Wulin, Daddy knows that I am in a relationship, but he doesn't know that the rice is cooked..." Rong Rong was a bit hesitant.

I thought about it, even though Rong Rong is more developed than others her age, she is still just under 14 years old.

If her father finds out that she is no longer a virgin, no doubt he will go in a rampage and try to kill me.

If it's just him, then it isn't a problem, but he has two Titled Douluo beside him. They will be able to kill me within seconds if they get serious.

"Uh… Do your best to upsell me to your grandpa's. Hopefully my talent as a 13-year-old Spirit King can appease your fathers rage when he finds out."

Rong Rong nodded her head, "My grandpas dote on me a lot and have more say than my father, if I stay adamant on this, they will eventually give up."

"If not, I will threaten them with my life." Her eyes showed resolution with this statement.

I pet her head, "It won't get that far, at most they will ask me for a couple spars. I will give them a couple gifts that will change their minds. Even your father will beg for me to marry you."

Rong Rong arrogantly hmphed, "Daddy has never begged anyone for anything. He can be extremely stubborn on some things."

I smirked as I pulled her into my embrace, "How come you don't also have his personality. From what I recall, you beg me almost every night."

Rong Rong blushed, "That's because I don't have your regeneration abilities, you go for too long! I am still stubborn, just on different things."

Soon, the others were finished packing, including Little Jing. She was happily bouncing around, excited to go on an adventure.

Rong Rong looked at Little Jing as she asked, "Brother Wulin, how come you are taking Little Jing with you?"

"For safety reasons." I shortly explain, it's not that I don't trust the others, but the less that know about Little Jing, the better.

If I left Little Jing at the academy, she would become immediately exposed when Rong Rong's Grandpa Bone came along.

Rong Rong, not understanding what I meant nodded her head, "Right, if she is left alone in the academy, she will terrorise all the students."

I smiled but didn't correct her, "Since you are all ready, let's go now."

They nodded their head as all of us left to the entrance of New Shrek Academy.

Already waiting there, the rest of our group of Guardian God's, as well as Yu Xiao Gang, Liu Erlong and Flander were standing around talking together.

Liu Erlong and Flander will be following us to the Sunset Forest. Zhao Wuji, the next strongest, will be in charge of the academy while they are gone.

All of us begin to say our goodbyes to the ones staying here, Mu Bai is standing by Qing'er as he lightly talks to her.

After saying our goodbyes, we left New Shrek Academy and headed towards the city gates.

Soon, we left the city gates and saw a group of people in white clothes and masks standing still like dolls.

Once Rong Rong stepped forward, all of them suddenly kneeled on one knee as they simultaneously yelled, "Greetings to the Young Miss!"

Rong Rong nodded her head and waved her hand, allowing them to stand up again.

She turned towards me as she leapt into my chest, embracing me. I smiled and hugged her soft body tightly.

"Alright, we aren't going to be gone for long. Don't keep your father waiting and hurry to tell him the good news." I say.

Rong Rong nodded her head gently, "I know." She stood on her tip toes as she leaned in for a kiss.

I also lowered my head as I kissed her pink lips in front of her Clansmen.

Their bodies trembled greatly when they saw we were bold enough to kiss in public.

Most people have already been informed that Rong Rong was in a relation with a man, but with her age, they didn't think that the relationship could progress so quickly.

However, they couldn't do anything about it. They made a mental note to report the progression of the relationship to the Clan Head when they returned.

Rong Rong left under the escort of her clansmen while the rest of us headed towards the Sunset Forest.

****

It didn't take long before the nine of us reached the entrance of Sunset Forest.

I turned to Flander as I said, "Teacher Flander, let's split up here. You help Yu Xiao Gang and Mu Bai get their Spirit Rings while I will help my girls."

Flander thought about it and nodded his head, "Alright, you are strong enough to take care of yourself. We will meet back here in five days."

Liu Erlong smiled as she said, "Great, we can have some time as the Golden Iron Triangle again!"

Mu Bai almost choked when he heard her words, "Teacher Liu, I am still going with you, you know?"

She nodded her head, "Right, I didn't forget about you. We will teach you all about the strength of our group during these days."

Mu Bai had a strange expression on his face, it was incredibly subtle, but he felt like Liu Erlong was threatening him.

I quickly left with my girls, leaving Mu Bai to fend for himself among those three teachers.

If I am able to move around with my girls, I don't have to worry about making a fake scene of absorbing a Spirit Ring like I had planned to.

"Alright, let's go deeper into the forest, we should be able to find some Spirit Beasts between 3,000 to 5,000 years old."

I lead the girls deeper into the forest as we began hunting for Spirit Beasts. Luckily, they only need relatively young Spirit Beasts, so it is easy to find Spirit Beasts.

In the future when we are looking for those over 10,000-years-old we will have to search a lot harder.

****

Four days later, Xue Mei slowly opens her eyes.

I look toward her expectantly, "So, how is it? What Spirit Ability did you get?"

Xue Mei smiled as she stood up, "Master, my Spirit Ability is called Skin Agitation. By agitating the skin, I can either strengthen defence by 40% or weaken it by 20%."

I nodded my head, "Good, now you have strength, speed and defence. If Rong Rong also gets a defence amplification, you two will be able to strengthen us all round by 70%."

Little Yue and Feng Feng also have their next Spirit Rings and Spirit Abilities, it didn't take long for me to find some suitable Spirit Beasts within this forest.

After killing a 5,000-year-old Frost Rhinoceros Spirit Beast, Little Yue gained the Spirit Ability Yin Ice Barrier.

Her Spirit Ability creates a protective dome around her, giving her invincibility for 4 seconds, and it seems to increase for every additive Spirit Ring.

Feng Feng on the other hand gained another attack Spirit Ability from killing a Fiery Porcupine Spirit Beast.

Her fourth Spirit Ability Yang Fire Arrows allows her to create small arrows made from her Yang Fire.

It is weaker than her other Spirit Abilities, however, the cost is drastically reduced, allowing her to spam it constantly.

Now that each of us have our Spirit Rings, we are ready to head off to meet up with Liu Erlong and the others, but there is still one more thing that I must do.

I turn towards Xue Mei as I say, "Xue Mei, your body should be strong enough now…"


CREATORS' THOUGHTS
The_Wulin The_Wulin

Here is a chapter to signal that I am not dead.

Work has been pretty busy, so I don't have many chances to write, but I am slowly getting through.

My city is also on flood watch right now because it has been raining non-stop for the past week, so that's fun.

I will keep you guys updated if I don't get swept away.

Chapter 74: Tasty Drink?

Xue Mei suddenly blushed as she hesitantly said, "M-master, we are out in the open, perhaps we shouldn't do it here?"

I nodded my head, "I saw a cave nearby, let's go there. I can use my Illusion Ice Transformation to hide the entrance of the cave."

Ignoring Xue Mei's embarrassment, I dragged the girls to the cave and set up an Illusion to blend the cave entrance with the surroundings.

I pull the Bat Fang External Spirit Bone and place it into Xue Mei's hand, "Here, quickly absorb this. It should help with your condition."

Xue Mei's eyes widened in shock, "Huh?"

I smirked at her, "I thought your body should be strong enough to absorb this Spirit Bone, what were you thinking of?"

Little Yue, Feng Feng and Little Jing giggled off to the side, causing Xue Mei to snap out of her stunned state.

Her face flushed a deep red, "I-I thought, you were going to do t-that to me… Wait! Spirit Bone?"

"Right, External Spirit Bone to be exact. I got it a while ago from a bat type Spirit Beast, they are known for sucking blood, so maybe absorbing the Spirit Bone will allow you to do the same."

"Master, this is too much! I don't deserve an External Spirit Bone, you should give it to Sister Yue or Sister Feng Feng." Xue Mei quickly shook her head and tried to place the fangs in my hands.

However, I stopped her as I closed her hands with the Bat Fangs inside, "These suit you the best, I will find External Spirit Bones for the other girls as well. Don't worry about it and just absorb it."

Xue Mei hesitantly looked towards Little Yue and Feng Feng who both nodded gently, "We already have a skull Spirit Bone anyway, those Bat Fangs don't suit us. I would rather bird wings instead."

Xue Mei gratefully bowed to the three of us, "Thank you so much! I will not waste this opportunity."

She sat cross-legged on the ground and began the absorption process.

I moved to the side and sat in between Little Yue and Feng Feng, while Little Jing took her usual spot in my lap.

"Big Brother, how old is the Spirit Bone?" Little Yue leaned on my shoulder as she asked.

I rest my head on hers, "It is around 10,000 years old. With Xue Mei's Spirit Rank and the benefits from the Immortal Herb, she should be able to absorb it."

After Absorbing her fourth Spirit Ring, Xue Mei's Spirit Rank instantly grew to the forty-third level.

In addition to the foundation strengthening Immortal Herb, she should be able to absorb the Spirit Bone with a bit of pain.

As I was thinking such, Xue Mei's face paled a bit as sweat started to run down her face. She quietly endured the pain from the Bat Fangs External Spirit Bone.

I kept a close eye on Xue Mei, if she showed any signs of being unable to finish absorbing the Bat Fangs, I will have to forcefully extract it and absorb it myself.

However, she has not let out a sound yet, so she should be able to endure for a while longer.

Seconds became minutes, and minutes became hours… We no longer talked as the four of us silently watched over Xue Mei.

The External Spirit Bone has already seeped into her body, all she needs to do now is integrate it and make it her own.

There were a couple times when Xue Mei let out a small cry, causing my heart to lurch out of my chest, however she quickly muffled herself and endured.

Suddenly, her body stopped trembling. I instantly got up and moved to her side, she slowly opened her eyes and smiled at me before passing out.

Her body relaxed and began to fall, but not before I caught her.

I stroked her pale face and kissed her forehead, "Good job. You've done well."

I turned to the girls behind me, "Let's wait for Xue Mei to wake up, then we will go to the rendezvous and meet with the others."

****

A couple hours later, Xue Mei slowly woke up from her slumber. I sat at the side of the bed and gently pet her head to help her awaken.

Xue Mei opened her eyes and saw me, she smiled brightly and quickly sat up, "Master, I was successful in absorbing the External Spirit Bone!"

Nodding my head, I say, "Good, show me."

Xue Mei nodded her head before opening her mouth. I could see her canines elongate like bat fangs, the tips looked as sharp as needles and strong enough to pierce metal.

"What abilities did you get?" I ask expectantly.

"By drinking blood, I can use it to regenerate my own blood, or convert it into Spirit Power. Also, if I drink directly from a living being, I can drain their Spirit Power in addition to their blood." Xue Mei explained.

"You are an Auxiliary System Spirit Master, so you won't be getting close to any living beings to drain their power. However, using blood to regenerate your own will be able to counter your body condition."

Xue Mei nodded her head deeply, her eyes were shining brightly. With this ability, she will be able to counteract the problem that has plagued her and many other Spirit Masters from her clan.

"Alright, give it a go. Come and drink some blood from me." I say as I pull the collar of my shirt down, exposing my neck and shoulder.

However, Xue Mei did not lean in and instead her cheeks flushed a deep red.

This caused me to become confused, 'Did I say something embarrassing?'

"What's wrong? Hurry and take a bite. Since you love the Blood Ginsengs so much, my blood must not be that disgusting." I urge her some more.

Xue Mei's eyes widened in astonishment, "What! What do you mean about the Blood Ginsengs!?"

"All the Blood Ginseng you ate are produced solely from my own blood. Because of my regeneration capabilities, I can sustain the growth of some Blood Ginsengs."

"I-I've been drinking your blood, all this time… Kyaa!"

Xue Mei's face got redder the more she thought about it.

In the end, she covered her face with her hands and shook her body from side to side as she let out a girly squeal.

Although her actions were extremely cute and distracted me for a bit, I was still confused on why she was doing such a thing.

"Master… Part of my Clan traditions… when getting married, the woman will drink a cup of blood from her husband. It is a male tradition, they give us their blood, while we also give them our blood."

Xue Mei had her eyes poking out from the gaps between her fingers as she quietly explained.

"Eh?" I blanked out a little. This is also a tradition of her clan?

But, I wasn't stunned for long and nodded my head, "So be it, you are mine to begin with, some ceremonies binding us together isn't a problem."

Xue Mei took her hands away from her face, her eyes showed a hint of desire and happiness, "You really mean it?"

"Of course, I don't mind taking part in your Clan's traditions if it is important to you. Now, let's test out your Spirit Bone's ability." I say as I pull her hand to me.

Xue Mei nodded her head shyly and elongated her fangs. Bringing her face to my neck, she breathed heavily on my neck in hesitation.

Her hot breath sent shivers down my spine, she placed her fangs on my neck and quickly sunk deep down.

The process was incredibly smooth, and I didn't feel any pain from the penetration.

Soon, I felt as if something was being drained from my body, it was my Blood and Spirit Power.

Not long after she started, she stopped draining my Spirit Power but continued drinking my blood in large amounts.

Luckily, my blood regenerates even faster than she can drink it.

Xue Mei sucked on my neck with great force and lightly licked it while she drank the blood with a look of drunken ecstasy.

Soon, she already drained enough blood to become a fatal problem for ordinary people, if not for my regeneration abilities, she would probably have sucked me dry.

"How long are you going to drink, are you trying to kill me?" I pat her back as I lightly reprimand her.

Xue Mei woke up from my words and quickly retracted from my neck, a bit of blood was still on her lips, creating a strangely seductive appearance.

The puncture holes on my shoulder instantly closed up, "Was my blood that delicious? You drained enough to kill a normal person."

Xue Mei blushed as she nodded her head, "It tasted like the Blood Ginseng, but even better, like a purer grade. I couldn't help but want to drink more…"

I laughed a little at her embarrassed expression, "Silly girl…" I ruffled her hair a bit.

"It is a strong ability, but this method of extraction isn't very feasible when we are fighting. I will make a couple gourds filled with my blood for you to use during battle." I say.

Xue Mei nodded gently, slowly licking up the traces of blood left on her lips. It made her already red lips look like they were coated in blood red lipstick.

"Since we have finished receiving our Spirit Rings, let's go and meet up with the teachers and Mu Bai."

Little Yue and Feng Feng nodded they head but Xue Mei looked confused, "Master, we still haven't gotten a Spirit Ring for you?"

"I have a special method of receiving Spirit Rings, only my girls know about it, so keep it a secret." I put a finger to my mouth as I signal to Xue Mei.

Xue Mei hurriedly nodded her head, "I understand, Master. I won't even tell the grass and flowers!"

****

"So, what's with all these bruises?" I ask Mu Bai with a slight smile.

Mu Bai growled deeply in indignance, "Teacher Flander and Teacher Liu gave me some combat lesson from the kindness of their hearts."

"Mhmm, that's nice of them." Nodding my head in fake understanding, I tried to keep myself from laughing.

"That's not even the worst part. They also made me fight against Grandmaster, but Teacher Liu's death stare made me unable to fight back. That stupid Luo San Pao kept farting and burping in my face!"

Mu Bai looked like tears were about to stream down his face when he remembered his five-day torture trip.

Little Jing who was sitting on my shoulders laughed brightly, her crisp voice gaining the attention of the others.

"Mu Bai, what are you boys talking about? Care to share it with the rest of us?" Liu Erlong asked Mu Bai gently.

Mu Bai shivered as he quickly shook his head, "It's nothing, Teacher Liu, I was just telling Sixth Brother about the amazing combat training you gave me. With your teaching, I feel like I can even beat him!"

Liu Erlong nodded her head, "Good, good. Then when we get back, you two can fight. Make sure you don't make me lose face as your teacher."

Mu Bai paled as he felt like crying, he is meant to be the prideful and arrogant White Tiger, but he is surrounded by mischievous elders that like to bully him.

Liu Erlong laughed loudly as she said, "I was just joking. You don't stand a chance against Wulin in a one on one, you don't have to fight him."

Mu Bai let out a sigh of relief as he hurriedly smiled to Liu Erlong, "Thank you for your leniency, Teacher Liu."

I could see that Mu Bai really had a hard time with these three teachers. Flander was arrogant and liked to satisfy his own vanity by overpowering weaker opponents.

Liu Erlong was like a bulldozer, steam rolling her way through every fight with great strength.

And Yu Xiao Gang was completely serious during fights, not holding back any punches and even resorting to playing dirty in order to win.

I gloated over Mu Bai's troubles and he lamented his misfortunes while all of us went back to the Academy.

*AUTHOR'S NOTE*

Hi all, I am back in my house right now. Luckily the damage to my house wasn't too bad, and most of my electrical and furniture is fine, besides my computer... I fried the motherboard when I was plugging everything back in...

The owners of this house are beasts, they brought a skip and dumped all our ruined stuff, used a gerni to clean the garage, ripped up all the carpets and even mowed the lawn. All in one day!

I've cleaned the house of all the mold, so it is pretty inhabitable. I can finally cook my asian food again, and I have my WiFi back! No longer restrained to 1 gb of data for a month!

In other news, I am seriously considering changing to third person writing. I feel like it is much smoother, since I always talk about other peoples feelings anyways, which I know I shouldn't, but I don't follow the rules.

The next two chapters are a little side story regarding Rong Rong's visit back home, since there are obvious changes that are going to happen when they see her.
