Chapter 43 (2/2)

Bu Le’s hands stiffened, his movements immediately coming to a halt, he looked right into a pair of red colored eyes, eyes brimming with Demon Confusion, his entire body immediately becoming rigid, and in the next moment, before him, only remained a smear of purple shadow.

Tight around his neck, not waiting for Bu Le to release his spirit, that black scorpion braid was already winding around, and in the next moment, Bu Le only felt a force at his neck, his entire body involuntarily leaving the ground.

If Bu Le had been a power type Spirit Master, perhaps he still would have had a chance to stabilize himself. Unfortunately, he was a control system Spirit Master. But if a Spirit Master couldn’t release their spirit, their strength would also be greatly weakened. Adding to his “industrious plowing” for a whole day, his strength had long ago dropped by more than half. The current Bu Le only felt the sky spin and earth go round, the next moment he could only see stars.

Gold stars, silver stars, stars of all sizes flickered continuously, the violent shaking making him completely unable to focus his spirit power to release his spirit. His body didn’t even feel pain, only a strong numbness.

Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang San and Ma Hongjun had by now already walked out from the darkness. Besides Tang San, the other three without exception stared wide eyed, looking at that previously still acting soft and immature lovable figure now with incomparably berserk movements. This was also the first time they saw the full set of Xiao Wu’s Eight Stage Drop.

Using the teleportation ability, when Xiao Wu disappeared from in front of Bu Le, her long ago already accumulated power meeting the completely mentally unprepared him, Xiao Wu’s scorpion braid successfully wrapped around Bu Le’s neck. In the next moment, vulgar strange uncle Bu Le’s miserable life had already begun.

Binding his neck, Xiao Wu’s one foot stepped on his lower back, the first spirit ring ability Waist Bow activating. Neck bending backward, feet moving forward, Bu Le’s body already flew into the air.

The scorpion braid quietly slipping off, Xiao Wu jumped after Bu Le’s body thrown into midair. That Waist Bow strength of hers was truly terrifying, with thirty first ranked spirit power, one hundred twenty percent amplification, she directly threw Bu Le five meters up.

When Bu Le’s body climbed to its peak was also precisely the moment Xiao Wu caught up, both hands grabbing Bu Le’s waist, Waist Bow’s strength activating once more, with a snap of her slender waist bringing Bu Le to spin backwards. Currently Bu Le was still bewildered by Xiao Wu’s Demon Confusion, besides the feeling of sky spinning and earth revolving, he could feel nothing.

Xiao Wu was grabbing the clothes at Bu Le’s waist, revolving a full two turns in midair, as she dropped towards the ground, under the effect of Waist Bow, Bu Le’s rapid spinning made a kind of hair-raising whistling sound and smashed into ground.

That moment, Tang San’s group closed their eyes at practically the same time. They could imagine the kind of strength of being thrown in a spiral from high in the air like this, Xiao Wu had also used it when competing against them before, only at that time she had directly thrown them in midair towards the sky, and not like this truly throwing them towards the ground.

Today Bu Le could be considered having bad luck, meeting Xiao Wu, this little baleful star, in addition to his vulgar appearance being what Xiao Wu disliked the most. In this fight she basically didn’t have any intention of starting off leniently. In Xiao Wu’s heart, for this kind of strange uncle who didn’t intend to let off even a twelve years old little girl, even killing wasn’t too much.

However, Bu Le was after all a forty something ranked Spirit Ancestor, in the two rapid rotations, he also finally awoke from Xiao Wu’s Demon Confusion. Although there wasn’t enough time for him to use his spirit, he still managed to cover his whole body with spirit power, protecting himself. But in the next moment, the violent shock already scattered the spirit power he had gathered.

Hong—-, Bu Le’s body heavily smashed into the ground, Xiao Wu had smacked his body flat onto the ground, each part of his body in contact with the ground, there wasn’t even enough time for Bu Le to scream, blood overflowing from his nose at once. He was completely dumb from the throw. But, this was only the beginning.

Xiao Wu hardly paused, with both hands pressing on Bu Le’s waist made a backflip, both legs pressing directly on either side of Bu Le’s head, Waist Bow activating yet again, throwing Bu Le directly forward. The hands had released, but her legs were able to generate even greater force. Under the driving force of Xiao Wu’s legs, following Xiao Wu’s backflip, Bu Le’s entire body flew up to once again smash into the ground.

Xiao Wu now fully revealed the flexible strength of her waist. With the help of the rebound from this second throw, body flipping over and back, she slammed Bu Le back in his previous position. Bu Le’s body was whirled around by Xiao Wu’s legs like a burlap sack, altogether six times, around the third, his bones started making snapping sounds.

“Fuck me, fuck me, ……”

Dai Mubai and the other two’s gazes continuously followed Bu Le’s body thrown around with all of Xiao Wu’s strength. Each time he was thrown, they couldn’t help but cry out in alarm, blood already splashing next to their feet. Finally, as Xiao Wu once again threw Bu Le’s body, it was without again directly throwing him on the ground and rather throwing him into the air, the six continuous throws were considered finished. In addition to that first spiral drop from high in the air, it was already a full seven drops.

Part 3

Whether it was Dai Mubai, Oscar or Ma Hongjun, all silently thought, if this was them being dropped seven times, what would the scene be like. Perhaps even the strongest Dai Mubai would immediately lose consciousness, even if he had already used his White Tiger Vajra Transformation, when thrown by Xiao Wu like this perhaps his spirit power would come apart from the shock.

Xiao Wu yet again leapt up, but when Dai Mubai’s group thought she would once again use the killing spiral drop from high in the air, Xiao Wu didn’t make those kinds of movements. The current Bu Le was already completely in a semi-conscious state. When Xiao Wu caught up to him, both her feet once again pressed at his neck. She rotated one thousand eighty degrees at lightning speed, with Bu Le’s neck squeezed by her, naturally he could only follow along with her turn, his neck constantly making cracking sounds. Even if the vertebra didn’t come apart, it still wasn’t much better.

After the one thousand eighty degree turn, Xiao Wu made an elegant backwards summersault, Waist Bow activating one last time, directly throwing Bu Le towards the ground. She also made use of the opposite force from throwing Bu Le to flip several times through the air, landing on the ground.

Hong—-, the vulgar strange uncle Bu Le smashed into the ground in a kind of extremely monstrous posture. Apart from his whole body twitching, he didn’t make any other movements.

Ma Hongjun looked at the slightly panting Xiao Wu who had landed not far from him, probingly asking:

“Xiao Wu, you didn’t kill him, right?”

Xiao Wu gave the twitching body of Bu Le a glance,

“Killing him would dirty my hands. I have propriety. Little San wouldn’t let me casually kill people. I only gave him a lesson, that’s all. However, I expect he’ll be out in bed for three months before recovering. By my calculations, several of his joints were dislocated by my drops. For a time, I’m afraid he really will be unable to take care of himself.”

Dai Mubai somewhat gloomily said:

“We came here to fight, when you’ve thrown him around like this, we have farts to beat, ah. Only, Xiao Wu, your Eight Stage Drop really is powerful.”

Oscar added:

“The key point is that her teleportation is too abnormal, once within a five meter range of her, even running is impossible. Furthermore, Xiao Wu, that Waist Bow ability can be used consecutively? Is there no need to aggregate spirit power between uses?”

Xiao Wu giggled, as if the impressive feat just now hadn’t been accomplished by her,

“Previously I had to condense spirit power, only, after I reached thirtieth rank, there is no longer any need for time. Besides, even if I had to aggregate spirit power, the interval between each Waist Bow is already enough.”

Tang San suddenly said:

“Xiao Wu, in the future don’t use that kind of method to lure the enemy again. It’s too dangerous like this.”

Xiao Wu looked blank a moment, looking at Tang San’s serious eyes, she stuck out her tongue, but nodded cutely.

What Tang San didn’t say was that when he watched Xiao Wu go to entice Bu Le, for some reason, his heart was extremely uneasy.

Dai Mubai waved his hand, saying:

“Fine, we’ll leave. Fatty. This fellow is more miserable than you. It counts as your revenge.”

Ma Hongjun had after all not used his own hands, right now he still somewhat hadn’t resolved his anger. Running up next to Bu Le, he raised his foot and stepped down several times with an effort, while stomping he hatefully said:

“Letting you beat me, letting you beat me. Letting you say my pecker[10] is small. Ai, all right.”

Seeming to suddenly recall something, Ma Hongjun smiled mischievously,

“You go ahead first, I’ll come right away.”

Dai Mubai frowned, saying:

“Don’t be harsh, although this fellow beating you isn’t any good thing, but it still isn’t a deadly crime. You hurry it up.”

“Got it.”

Watching Dai Mubai, Tang San, Oscar and Xiao Wu turn around the corner and disappear, Ma Hongjun’s face revealed a monstrous smile. Raising his right hand, a red purple flame appeared in his palm, and his gaze moved to Bu Le’s lower body.

“Strange uncle, didn’t you say I had a small pecker? Fine, then I’ll let yours become a roast chicken[11].”

“Aaaaah—-”

Tang San’s group still hadn’t gone very far, hearing the unhumanly bloodcurdling scream, the four looked face to face, and somewhat helplessly shook their heads.

Very quickly, Fatty already animatedly chased after them, without waiting for any questions, immediately took the initiative to say:

“Be at ease, I did nothing like that. I wouldn’t let him die. Xiao Wu was right, killing him would dirty our hands. Fifth sister[12], many thanks for today, if there is anything you have need of this Fatty for then don’t hesitate to ask, as long as I can get it, I won’t decline.”

Xiao Wu cackled,

“No need for repayment. That throwing just now was very invigorating. It’s been quite a while without something so pleasurable.”

Tang San seeming to ponder something said:

“Actually, what we did was no good.”

“No good? Little San, you wouldn’t be soft hearted, right?”

Dai Mubai somewhat puzzled looked at Tang San. Although Tang San was ordinarily very calm, he didn’t seem like a soft hearted person. He could still clearly remember the appearance of Tang San fully using his hidden weapons, even Zhao Wuji suffered a small loss.

Tang San shook his head, saying:

“I’m saying, cutting grass without rooting it out, once the spring wind blows it grows again.”

“Ah?”

The others’ gazes at Tang San immediately changed somewhat. Although they were all genius Spirit Masters, they were after all only teenagers, with regard to murder, perhaps only Dai Mubai could accept it. Nobody expected Tang San would say something like this.

Tang San never forgot the guiding principles written in Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. Tang Sect Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record General Principles, third item: Ascertain the opponent is an enemy, as long as they chose the path of killing, never hesitate, otherwise one’s worries will only increase.

“That vulgar strange uncle Bu Le didn’t die this time, perhaps the matter will stay at that. But in the end he has more than fortieth ranked spirit power. If he musters a group of friends for revenge, you be careful Fatty. Although who beat him was unclear, by hearing alone, adding to his clash with you in the daytime, he will certainly guess it was you who brought people in.”

If previously Dai Mubai didn’t say Bu Le’s sins weren’t worthy of death, Tang San already would have acted. Right now he was only reminding Ma Hongjun so he wouldn’t later come to grief.

Ma Hongjun swallowed,

“I didn’t expect it would be little San who was the fiercest! Apparently, if one offends somebody it shouldn’t be you.”

Tang San showed a smile,

“As we came here you didn’t seem to address me like that.”

“Eh……, fine, big brother San, and little sister Xiao Wu as well, many thanks for the matter this time, I would still ask you brothers to help keep this a secret.”

Dai Mubai raised his hand to lightly pat the top of Fatty’s swollen head,

“Our own brother, why are you saying such nonsense? Let’s go back quickly. We can’t let Grandmaster discover we were out so late, unless you want more devilish training.”

……

Shrek Academy, dean’s office.

“Xiao Gang, I don’t want to disturb your teaching of those little monsters of ours, but, I have no choice but to regretfully inform you, the Academy’s little bit of money has already been spent by you.”

Somewhat helplessly saying this, Flender had a sad expression.

As a formidable Spirit Sage, but whose arrogance kept him from wealth, what kind of sorrow was this.

According to normal expenses, the tuition the students paid would be sufficient for the expenditures of one academic year. There would even be a bit left over. But Grandmaster’s education plan was in another class, not only did food expenses go up considerably, but along with the food the medicines mixed into the students’ baths every day were even more frightfully expensive. Over these past three months, of this year’s tuition for Shrek Academy there was already nothing left.

Grandmaster nodded, as always with that rigid face, and said indifferently:

“Got it.”

Flender said with a wry smile:

“You got it, then propose a solution.”

Grandmaster said:

“Once these seven days of rest are over, I will bring them to undergo the second stage of training. You needn’t worry, I will settle the issue of expenses.”

Flender sighed, saying:

“Were it not for these children being so outstanding, I truly wouldn’t think to go on. It’s still the days we together travelled the Continent that moved me the most.”

Grandmaster showed a brief despondency,

“Perhaps there will be a day we can repeat that happiness.”

Flender couldn’t help but ask:

“Xiao Gang, how are you planning to teach these children in the next stage? Wouldn’t it be taking it easy for a bit, in these three months they have suffered bitterly. They’re after all just teenagers. As they say ‘excessive hardness leads to an easy break’, don’t be too excessive.”

Grandmaster’s expression again recovered to its normal state,

“Since you gave these children to me to teach, you can only place your full trust in me. I have measured it out.”

……

Limp on the ground, Bu Le was still constantly twitching, but by now he had already woken from unconsciousness. This was already the third time he had awoken. The first two times he woke up the incomparable pain all over his body had instantly brought him back into the darkness.

Clenching his teeth to resist the pain, Bu Le forced his eyes open, a scorched smell constantly assaulted his sense of smell, but what made him despair the most, was the complete lack of sensation in his lower body. He knew that his whole life might be over. He wanted to move, but could only barely squirm, his four limbs were completely dislocated, even his elbows and knees were separated. At least five ribs were broken. Of his cervical vertebra[13] at least two were displaced.

[1] (八蛛矛)

[2] “Fifth [younger] sister” Xiao Wu is the fifth oldest, Ma Hongjun is the fourth.

[3] “Third [older] brother” Tang San is the third oldest.

[4] Flip-flops, to be precise.

[5] Sort of a literal translation to what I assume is a lewd song with some wordplay. He calls himself (大爷我) where (大爷) is a colloquial term for “father’s older brother” or a respectful term for an older man, but it can also mean “arrogant idler” or “self centered show off”. The second line uses (鸟儿) which literally translates as “bird”, but (鸟) is an alternate way to write the homophone (屌) which means “penis”.

[6] Idiom: Alert the enemy.

[7] (八段摔) Or “Eight Section Throw”

[8] Wordplay alert. The first character of “loli” (luo li 萝莉) is a homophone to and is written very similar to a kind of Buddhist demon poltergeist (luo cha 罗刹). For some (much) more distantly related connections, the luo in loli (萝) means radish and is one of the characters in carrot (see the manhua for this connection). The luo in demon (罗) means gauze, and is the same as in Douluo and Star Luo.

[9] The Chinese equivalent of “puppies in my van”, stems from a pedophile case in Hong Kong.

[10] He uses (jiji 鸡鸡), which is a childish way of saying penis, but the character (鸡) also means “chicken”, which we all know is sort of a trigger for Fatty.

[11] Pun alert. Fatty goes from (jiji 鸡鸡) “penis” or literally “chicken chicken” to (kaoji 烤鸡) “roast chicken”.

[12] “Fifth [younger] sister” Xiao Wu is the fifth oldest.

[13] The vertebra in the neck.
