Douluo Dalu 3: The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 54: Treating Him Like Metal

After seeing that one strike from Wu Zhangkong, the students dared not break the silence out of fear. Their lineup was even more orderly now. In front of this teacher of theirs, they all felt as if they were under great pressure.

Tang Wulin blinked a few times. Just a moment ago he had been seriously watching the match. When Wu Zhangkongs sword thrust forth, Xie Xie had begun to dodge, yet his futile attempts  only resembled a prey caught in a spiders web to Tang Wulin. No matter how much Xie Xie struggled, it wouldve been impossible to escape from this large web.

It was done with such a simple sword, but had neither the aid of a martial soul or a soul skill. Yet, Wu Zhangkong easily suppressed Xie Xie. What kind of cultivation was needed for this!?

Teacher truly is too formidable! Tang Wulin began to revere the so-titled Icily Arrogant Prince Charming in his heart. Even as he revered Wu Zhangkong on the inside, he also stealthily returned the soul camera to his Heavy Silver Rings. Senior Sister Liu Yuxin had requested a favor from him. Even though it was his first time doing such a thing, he was still prepared.

Xie Xie wiped away his sweat as he stood there with a pensive look. He was pondering over the oppression hed just faced from Wu Zhangkong moments ago.

Wu Zhangkong hadnt attacked blindly with his sword. In front of this kind of pressure, Xie Xie had felt as if he were trapped. He felt that he was about even with Tang Wulin, but when he was in front of Wu Zhangkongs sword, he felt as if any decision he made would only result in his death. There was no chance of escape at all. In this kind of situation, even if he had wanted to rush out, how was he supposed to do so?

One minute has passed. Get ready.

Xie Xie raised his head and rested his gaze upon Tang Wulin who had his hammers in hand. In return, Tang Wulin stared at him as well.

Looking back, this was their third battle.

Xie Xie had lost in the previous two battles, and now held a slight fear towards Tang Wulin. He still clearly remembered that golden light. This time, however, he would be on guard against it.

Begin!

Wu Zhangkong announced the start of the match, thus raising the curtains for the final showdown within class five.

Xie Xie released his martial soul and his Light Dragon Dagger twinkled in his hand. However, he didnt impatiently rush towards Tang Wulin and, instead, began circling around him.

Tang Wulin had also released his Bluesilver Grass the moment the match begun and had weaved Bluesilver Grass in a manner similar to the style of his first match against Li Chushui. The blades of grass weaved into a large net, just waiting for someone to walk into its trap.

Xie Xies heart stirred. Wasnt Wu Zhangkongs sword pressure simply a formless net? Was Teacher giving me guidance on how to break through Tang Wulins net? But Teacher, you dont know how tough this guys Bluesilver Grass is. Its basically impossible to break through!

The very first time they had fought, Xie Xie had underestimated the resilience of Tang Wulins Bluesilver Grass! This mistake had allowed Tang Wulin to send him flying.

This guy isnt even using his fists anymore, but hammers! If he smashed my face with those

When Xie Xie saw the two shiny black hammers in Tang Wulins hands, he immediately got a bad feeling.

Tang Wulin was neither in a hurry, nor impatient to start. He just calmly waited for Xie Xie to attack while constantly moving the net in his direction. In reality, Tang Wulin knew in his heart that Xie Xie and Li Chushui were as different as black and white. With Xie Xies soul power level, the one whose stamina would be depleted first would likely be Tang Wulin.

Even faced with such circumstances, Tang Wulin wasnt anxious at all. He just waited for Xie Xie to attack so that his golden scales could appear again.

Xie Xie continued circling around Tang Wulin thrice before pouncing forward like lightning. Tang Wulins Bluesilver Grass spread out in a flash, sealing off Xie Xies attack route.

He waved his Light Dragon Dagger, its tip striking towards Tang Wulin.

Pu! The blade tip descended on the Bluesilver Grass, and, in flash, a ring of light dissipated, causing the Bluesilver Grass to undulate with blue ripples. Although the interwoven Bluesilver Grass had easily dispelled the attack, Tang Wulins soul power had also dropped a bit.

Wu Zhangkongs eyebrows raised in surprise.

Xie Xies attack was meant to let their teacher see that Tang Wulins Bluesilver Grass wasnt ordinary at all.

After committing to an attack with no results, Xie Xie rapidly retreated, once again distancing himself from Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin didnt control his Bluesilver Grass to chase after Xie Xie since his movements were simply too fast. Moreover, Xie Xies dodging ability was astonishing. If Tang Wulin showed an opening, Xie Xie would be in front of him in a flash.

Xie Xie was extraordinarily patient this time as he continuously circled Tang Wulin, searching for an opening. With soul power at rank 18, he had more than enough time. Occasionally, he would attack Tang Wulin, but immediately drawback afterwards.

Xie Xie gradually began to reveal a smile. This was because hed realized that Tang Wulins soul power was only at rank 11.

Although his Bluesilver Grass was marvelous, the gap between their soul power was simply tremendous. As long as Xie Xie exhausted Tang Wulins soul power, it would be his win. What else could possibly stop him?

The match between the two was taking longer than all of the previous matches. However, Wu Zhangkong wasnt anxious at all. His arms were folded in front of him as he silently watched the match go on.

Tang Wulins soul power was finally approaching the point of exhaustion, which left him with no choice but to withdraw his Bluesilver Grass.

During the split second hed begun withdrawing his Bluesilver Grass, Xie Xies body flickered. Immediately, he appeared at Tang Wulins side with his Light Dragon Dagger in hand.

In the face of Xie Xies speed, it was practically impossible for Tang Wulin to dodge.

However

Ding! A brittle note echoed out and sparks flew everywhere. Tang Wulin and Xie Xies weapons were interlocked in a showdown. Xie Xies Light Dragon Dagger had missed Tang Wulins body.

Tang Wulins eyes narrowed. It was as if he had entered some sort of special state. The Thousand Refined Tungsten Hammer in his right hand was held behind him, obstructing Xie Xies attack.

In disbelief, Xie Xie spun to the other side, slashing out once again.

Dang! The same thing happened as before. Tang Wulins other hammer accurately blocked Xie Xies second attack.

How could this be? How could he be so quick? Xie Xies eyes were full of disbelief. Could it be..? This guy was disguising himself as a pig to eat a tiger? Ive actually lost to him twice when he was acting as a pig?

Yes! How fast!

While he faced off against Xie Xie, Tang Wulin was continuously thinking of ways he could could counter Xie Xies speed. His opponent was an Agility System Battle Soul Master while he could be considered both a Control System Battle Soul Master and a Power System Battle Soul Master; he would lose out to his opponents speed either way.

If this continued on, he would definitely lose. He also couldnt rely on his golden scales to appear miraculously.

While he had been pondering over this dilemma, he finally had a brilliant idea.

His bodys speed couldnt possibly compare with his opponent. However, there was still one area that he was exceptionally fast in. That was forging!

In the three years he had spent forging, he had grown so familiar with hammers that they were like an extension of his body. Especially when his strength exploded out; that familiar sensation was even more intense.

If he used the heavy Thousand Refined Heavy Silver Hammers, he wouldnt be able to dominate with speed. However, with his lighter Thousand Refined Tungsten Hammers, he would be able to make these hammers fly. It would be like the test he took at the Blacksmiths Association. He would dazzle Xie Xie with his ability of wielding his tungsten hammers.

He would treat Xie Xie like a lump of metal!
