Chapitre 266: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School (1)
It wasn't like the Black Tortoise Spirit Masters Tang San had met before, using their tortoiseshells as shields.
The method Tang San chose was to pierce through the surface. Even though Eight Spider Lances couldn't penetrate deeply, just breaking the skin was enough.
Just what is called 'the participant is baffled, the spectator sees clearly', the surrounding students, including Tai Long, all clearly saw black blood flowing from the wounds left by the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, but where Tang San's Eight Spider Lances had penetrated there was a dark purple spreading.
Feeling alternately hot and cold, Tai Nuo suddenly felt his eyes blur. Exerting himself to shake his head, this feeling grew even more distinct.
"You-, you use poison..."
Tang San's Eight Spider Lances propped him up from the ground, and looking down on Tai Nuo from above he said indifferently:
"Poison is part of my abilities. Do you still want to go on?"
Tai Nuo was a strength type power attack system Spirit Master, and a control system Spirit Master held the advantage when facing power attack system Spirit Masters. Even though there was an enormous difference in spirit power between the two, when Tang San relied on his Tang Sect abilities, simultaneously being a control system Spirit Master, as well as possessing an agility attack system's speed and toxicity, further adding his perfect exploitation of his advantages, it immediately put Tai Nuo completely on the defensive. When the Godly Zhuge Crossbow bolts pierced Tai Nuo's defense, this fight had already been decided.
How could half a year by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well be wasted; all the hidden weapons Tang San carried used different poisons. Just like Dugu Bo said, even more formidable Spirit Masters would be cautious when dealing with him. Poison was a kind of special means of attack, in order to deal with a poison Spirit Master one first of all had to keep a careful defense. But Tai Nuo clearly felt he held the advantage, and it seemed to him that dealing with a child like Tang San was only a matter of stretching out his hand and grabbing him. He hadn't expected that he would be the one stumbling into a ditch.
"You..."
Calling out, Tai Nuo discovered that his tongue didn't quite follow his orders. Even though he congregated his powerful spirit power to resist the poison within his body, he still suffered two kinds of poisons one after another. Previously he had spent his spirit power in anger, and further quickened the flow of blood within his veins. How could he resist now?
The Eight Spider Lances' poison was supplemented with the properties of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Precious Apricot. Even though the two immortal treasure herbs hadn't increased Tang San's spirit power, their hot and cold poisons had completely fused together with Tang San, adding to the Man Faced Demon Spider's poison. One might say that right now even Dugu Bo could only use his own poison resistance to subdue Tang San's Eight Spider Lances' poison within his own body, but would be unable to treat someone else. When this kind of poison entered the body, even if Tai Nuo had fifty eighth ranked strength, there could only be one conclusion.
"Three. Two. One. Fall."
Tang San spoke four words without hurry, and Tai Nuo's massive body collapsed on the ground, his wounds overflowing with tainted blood.
"Tang San, I'll face you."
A massive shadow fell from the air, precisely Tai Long.
Even though it was still difficult for Tai Long to move right now, his two eyes were both blood red. Just what is called 'cannot live under the same sky as one's father's killer', watching his father's miserable state he completely forgot about the gap between him and Tang San.
With the Eight Spider Lances, Tang San's nimbleness could even compare to the agility attack system Zhu Zhuqing, how would he get caught by Tai Long's pounce. In a deep voice he called:
"Tai Long, if you don't want your father to die, stop attacking immediately. Otherwise I won't be able to save him."
Even if Tai Long was a bit impulsive, he still wasn't an idiot. Hearing his father could still be saved, he immediately sobered and stopped chasing Tang San.
Eight Spider Lances poking the ground, Tang San reached Tai Nuo's side, raising an Eight Spider Lance and piercing into Tai Nuo's back. Circulating his spirit power, the black energy in Vigorous King Tai Nuo's body could clearly be seen extending to the Eight Spider Lances.
Right now, the expressions of the students standing around the great hole and watching Tang San were all brimming with reverence. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who could believe that a thirty something ranked Spirit Elder could be capable of defeating a close to sixtieth ranked Spirit King?
It seemed to them that this was a complete victory.
Apparently Tai Nuo didn't have any means of retaliating before Tang San.
The poison arrived quickly and left quickly, in a moment Tai Nuo's wounds were flowing with blood. Tang San had been training with Eight Spider Lances for a long time, and by now he could control them perfectly. Withdrawing the Eight Spider Lances poison, he poked a series of acupuncture points on Tai Nuo to stop the bleeding.
Tai Long stared blankly at Tang San doing all this.
If in the morning he still had been unable to accept it because he and Tang San possessed the same level of spirit power, then by now Tang San had already become an unreachable existence in his eyes.
He couldn't understand how, at the same thirty seven ranks, this seemingly very ordinary youth in front of him could be so much stronger than himself. It was no wonder Xiao Wu had chosen him.
Tai Long couldn't know that the gap between Tang San and Tai Nuo, even if it was twenty one ranks of spirit power, Tang San could completely make up for ten ranks with an external spirit bone, and even more rely on the techniques of the Tang Sect.
And Tai Nuo hadn't even been able to use his fifth spirit ability. Overall, this whole fight had been completely under Tang San's control.
He undoubtedly displayed the fighting ability of a control system Spirit Master. The ability to control the overall situation with the precision of a calculator.
Withdrawing Eight Spider Lances within his back, Tang San nodded to Tai Long,
"Alright, I've already removed the poison. However he should feel a bit weak over the next few days. Have him rest for three days after returning, he mustn't get angry, mustn't use spirit power, and he'll naturally recover. Your father caused this hole, you settle it."
Tai Long looked at Tang San with a complicated expression. He should thank Tang San for saving his father, but his father's injuries had also been caused by this fellow.
Tang San didn't care about Tai Long's reaction. Exerting himself against the wall of the pit, in two leaps he crawled up to the surface.
With such a great alarm at the Academy gate, how could it not alert the teachers. But by the time they arrived the fight was already at its end, and they only saw Tang San fire the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, and subdue the enemy with Eight Spider Lances.
They even forgot to stop the fight.
As Tang San came out of the big hole he was immediately surrounded by several teachers wanting to talk to him. Tang San directly used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to pass through the crowd, and in a few flickers he had already disappeared.
"Ge, wait for me."
Xiao Wu's face was somewhat unsightly as she swiftly chased after Tang San.
But the teachers naturally couldn't leave like that. Whether it was this giant hole they didn't know whether to laugh or cry about, or the numerous students gathered, everything had to be handled by them.
Tang San went straight back to his dorm. Just like at Shrek Academy, he was still sharing a room with Oscar here. Right now Oscar wasn't here, up to something unknown.
As Tang San entered the room, even before he had stopped walking, he coughed up a mouthful of blood with a belching sound. His originally serene expression had already become pale.
Indeed, Tang San had prevailed over Tai Nuo, but the victory was very dangerous. That was after all an opponent with twenty ranks of strength more than him. Moreover, Tai Nuo's strength was really a bit excessive. Most crucially, Tang San didn't know the opponent's spirit abilities.
When Tai Nuo used his fourth spirit ability 'Power Quake', even though Tang San reacted extremely quickly, in the end he couldn't completely avoid it. The surging energy currents and the sand and stones splashing from the ground both caused him considerable harm. However he forced down the reaction, without showing the condition of his injury on the scene.
Tang San knew that if it wasn't for his body being forged at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for half a year, adding the transformation from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Precious Apricot, he would've been unable to endure even a single attack, and been struck down immediately.
Even relying on his endurance had barely been enough to withstand the opponent's attack. Tang San was far from well, the energy channels within his body as if burning. Despite the support of his spirit power and Eight Spider Lances, after attacking Tai Nuo he had already been an arrow at the end of its flight.
After barely managing to absorb the poison within Vigorous King Tai Nuo's body, how could he still stay at the scene? He couldn't manage to explain to the teachers, and returned here directly.
Until now, just as he relaxed.
Standing there and gasping for breath, Tang San couldn't hold back a sigh. Despite taking the immortal treasure herbs, as well as with the support of Eight Spider Lances and the Tang Sect techniques, the spirit power gap still wasn't so easily overcome.
If in case he encountered an opponent with a spirit that just countered his own, he wouldn't be able to obtain victory like today.
However, the fight today had let Tang San ascertain one thing: the other ability of Eight Spider Lances, Drain.
As early as the first time Tang San experimented with Eight Spider Lances he could somewhat sense that Eight Spider Lances seemed to absorb some energy from that big tree. And as he used it a few times later, Tang San discovered that once Eight Spider Lances had pierced into the opponent, it would absorb and give him a certain energy, even though this wasn't too clear, and moreover this energy would disappear after a time, it was still there.
Like just now, whether it was when Tang San pierced Tai Nuo or removed the toxin, Tang San had this kind of feeling. The absorption of Eight Spider Lances apparently absorbed the opponent's energy, and after absorbing it could last for about an hour or so.
He had never drained deliberately, this was just something the Eight Spider Lances provided him.
Tang San really wanted to try it, the effect if he completely drained an opponent with his Eight Spider Lances. But it was after all very rare to meet opponents he had to kill, and just in case the Eight Spider Lances drain ruined the opponent, it would be a grave disaster to his inner qualities.
Today's conflict with the Tai family father and son, it was nothing more than a common conflict.
"Ge, are you alright?"
Xiao Wu forced her way through the door, and with one look at Tang San coughing up blood she hurriedly supported his arm.
Tang San shook his head with a smile,
"It's nothing, I just suffered a bit of shock. Tai Long's father's strength was one of the most powerful I've encountered among Spirit Masters. Such a complete strength Spirit Master would have an extreme cultivation method, otherwise if he was a bit faster, I might have lost."
Xiao Wu led Tang San to sit on the bed,
"Ge, you actually prevailed over a Spirit King. It's already caused a sensation in the Academy. If you hadn't run away quickly, by now you might be surrounded by a herd of students and teachers. When I chased after you I already saw several teachers negotiating with Tai Nuo. I fought a lot of people before at Nuoding Academy, but I still never saw someone's family come out. Ge, this time you beat Tai Long's father, won't his grandfather really come out?"
After speaking the last line, Xiao Wu couldn't help first smiling. Tang San also smiled, his impression of Tai Long's father wasn't bad, and if Tai Nuo hadn't insulted Xiao Wu he wouldn't have launched such a powerful poison attack. Even Tang San himself didn't quite dare believe he could defeat a Spirit King.
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San sitting opposite her on the bed, and unhappily said:
"I don't know where that Big Sausage Uncle has run off to, he's gone just when he's needed."
Tang San drew in a sharp breath, his internal organs cramping. He knew the injuries he had sustained weren't light,
"Xiao Wu. You go back to rest first, I want to cultivate a bit to alleviate the injuries to my energy channels."
