Douluo Dalu: Every Breath Steals Tang San's Women

At the main gate of Nuoding Academy!

Lu Chen, standing at 1.8 meters tall, carried his pack and walked out of the academy.

Behind him was Xiao Wu, who had come to see him off, and Tang San, the number one simp under Xiao Wu’s command.

It must be said, Tang San really had perseverance. Even after being turned into a clown time and time again, he still shamelessly clung to Xiao Wu’s side, managing to become the ultimate simp among her followers.

The scorpion braid behind Xiao Wu fluttered as she enthusiastically waved at Lu Chen, her voice crisp and pleasant, filled with youthful vitality:

"Boss Lu Chen, come back early after you absorb your first spirit ring! We’ll be waiting for you in the academy!"

After all, they had been roommates and partners for three years. At this moment of parting, Lu Chen turned to look at Xiao Wu and said in a gentle tone:

"Hunting Spirit Beasts is fraught with danger, and I don’t know how long I’ll be gone. However, as long as fate allows in the future, we will surely meet again one day."

Xiao Wu truly had an innocent and romantic nature; she wasn’t nervous at all and even said with great anticipation:

"We’ll definitely meet again. Look at Little San; he’s already absorbed two spirit rings and become a Spirit Grandmaster, and he hasn’t lost any arms or legs."

Little San was Tang San. As Xiao Wu’s simp, Tang San had already lost his own name in front of her.

Even though Xiao Wu called him Little San, Tang San grit his teeth and accepted it with a face full of smiles.

It must be said, a simp is truly a terrifying creature.

At this moment, a look of surprise intertwined with malice appeared in the eyes of the Simp Tang.

He was surprised because once Lu Chen left, he would be the closest person to Xiao Wu.

Even if he was just a simp, as long as he stayed by Xiao Wu’s side all day, there might come a day when he could walk into her heart.

He thought maliciously that it would be best if Lu Chen died completely while hunting Spirit Beasts this time; that way, he would have no more competitors.

Tang San thought back to his own two Spirit Beast hunts. The first time hunting the Datura Snake and the second time hunting the Ghost Vine, even with sufficient preparation, he had narrowly escaped death each time.

Lu Chen was all alone; if he went to the Spirit Beast forest to hunt, he would most likely die inside.

This was the darkest thought in the depths of Tang San’s heart!

The way he looked at Lu Chen was as if he were looking at a dead man!

Lu Chen wasn’t blind; Tang San radiated malice toward him from head to toe, so how could he not sense it?

It just wasn’t the time to have a falling out yet!

To him, this trip was like the high sky for birds to fly and the wide sea for fish to leap!

Once his wings were full-grown, it would be time for a final showdown with the father-son duo, Tang Hao and Tang San.

The pain and humiliation that Tang Hao and Tang San had brought upon him and his parents back then were things he could never forget.

Every day, his only thought was to grow strong quickly and then take revenge on Tang Hao and Tang San; he had to make this father and son regret ever coming into this World.

This was a major motivation for Lu Chen’s desire to become stronger!

Thinking of this, Lu Chen turned and strode away, his booming voice echoing back:

"Goodbye, I’m leaving now!"

After bidding farewell to Xiao Wu, Lu Chen left Nuoding City. He didn’t go to hunt Spirit Beasts immediately but instead rushed back to Saint Spirit Village.

This departure could likely last several years, unlike attending Nuoding Academy, where he could at least return once a year.

Since he would be gone for a long time, Lu Chen returned to Saint Spirit Village to properly say goodbye to his parents, Lu An and Rose, as well as the village chief, Old Jack, who cared about him.

After three days, Lu Chen had no more worries, so he shouldered his pack once again and set out resolutely on his journey to hunt Spirit Beasts.

...

Lu Chen held a tattered map in his hand, which he had purchased in Nuoding City. On that tattered map, the major cities of the two great Empires and some famous Spirit Beast forests were roughly marked.

For example, the Sunset Forest and the Star Dou Great Forest!

Where Lu Chen was headed this time was the Star Dou Great Forest, located in the center of the Douluo Continent and sandwiched between the two great Empires.

The Star Dou Great Forest is currently the most vast Spirit Beast forest on the continent, divided into three parts: the Outer Area, the mixed zone, and the Core Area. It contains countless Spirit Beast resources but is also exceptionally dangerous.

In the Outer Area, there are many hundred-year and thousand-year Spirit Beasts.

In the mixed zone, there are many powerful Spirit Beasts between ten thousand and fifty thousand years old.

In the Core Area, there are only terrifying Spirit Beasts over fifty thousand years old, and there are even top-tier Spirit Beasts over a hundred thousand years old.

The Star Dou Great Forest was the place Lu Chen chose to hunt Spirit Beasts. He believed that by relying on the abundant resources of the Star Dou Great Forest, he would surely be able to rise in a short time.

As for his two Spirits, the Blue Silver Grass and the Black Iron Sickle, how should they be developed in the future?

During these three years, Lu Chen had already considered it countless times!

First of all, he definitely couldn’t follow Tang San’s example. The most important thing for twin spirits is to complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul started on the control path, and in the Late Stage, it gained power attack skills, becoming a control-plus-power attack path.

This resulted in a certain overlap with his second Spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, failing to fully utilize the advantages of twin spirits.

In Lu Chen’s vision, his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul needed to continuously improve its life attribute, following the support system to restore health and mana, provide shields and buffs, and finally be able to bring the dead back to life.

Relying on the life attribute of his first Spirit, the Blue Silver Grass, his second Spirit, the Black Iron Sickle, could then be imbued with attributes like destruction, darkness, and devastation.

The more brutal, the better; the more domineering, the better!

As long as the power was great enough, he wouldn’t even hesitate to perish together with the enemy!

Only in this way could he fully exploit the advantages of twin spirits: the first Spirit being ultimate life and the second Spirit being ultimate destruction. With the two Spirits complementing each other, it would be enough to turn him into a killing machine.

Once the twin spirits paths he envisioned both reached an extreme, he believed that on this Douluo Continent, he would be invincible under heaven.

After half a month of travel, the travel-worn Lu Chen finally arrived outside the Star Dou Great Forest.

Thinking about the experiences of the past half month, Lu Chen was also filled with emotion; traveling far from home was not easy.

When away from home, there was too much to guard against: bandits, wild beasts, shady inns... with just a slight lapse in attention, one would not only lose their money but even their life.

Lu Chen was very lucky. With his Golden Finger that made him stronger just by breathing, at only nine years old, he had a 1.8-meter frame and possessed immense strength, which allowed him to overcome crises time and again.

With a fair amount of blood on his hands, Lu Chen’s eyes became indifferent and his expression more mature. He believed that anyone who had experienced life-and-death peril could be reborn and grow up quickly.

At this moment, Lu Chen looked at the endless dark forest before him and spoke in an excited tone:

"Star Dou Great Forest, I, Lu Chen, have finally arrived..."
