      • If what i think will happen then Tang will be really op since it was stated that Spirit abilitys cant be used here but the eight spider lances and the wisdom spirit bone ability shouldnt count under spirit abilitys if he can acutally use them and his hidden weapons then he will porpably kick ass even against opponents with much higher spirit power levels *-*

    • After rereading it several more times, I realize that that veiled woman is probably very strong and famous…..since every person is required to fight in the Arena, she doesn’t look like she gives blood, and that half-dead man was scared silly when he saw her.

      I predict that she’s the Doulou captain >:)

        • Well, imagine how much sadder it’d be to have nothing to do because everyone’s too scared of you being too OP.

          On her arena match – the opponent is so scared he just suicide to avoid ‘slow death’

          Nobody want to break the law except the stupid – not really a worthy enemy

          So she don a special mask that helps hide her true aura (like a certain slime) so newcomers won’t be freaked out by her…or if it’s actually a mask for any guides so people can’t tell it’s her until they get close.

    • BTW what are the chances that the Title Douluo is Tang Hao’s Brother. The clan is in hiding. This looks like an awesome place to hide. Even if not the whole clan at least few of the strong members who would really stick out in outside world can hide here more so if the Tang Hao’s brother is the Captain.

      This is just a wild guess, no evidence to support it except the word “Title Douluo”.

              • Lmao, yea, it’s ‘possible’ but for all we know, the rest of the school might have just been exterminated by Spirit Hall secretly. Also, without actually using their spirits openly and registering at spirit hall, it would be very hard for a small village of clear-sky hammer users to be discovered: especially if they were spread out across the continent.

                I feel like, even though they’re the most powerful spirit, a place like Slaughter City would be terrible for anyone to live in lol

            • Hmm! Good Points on Secret Village and Bad Conditions of Slaughter City.

              But I do not agree with – “the rest of the school might have just been exterminated by Spirit Hall secretly”

              If this was the case Spirit Hall would openly kill Tang San because there will be no backlash from the action even if Tang Hao was out there. From what have been indicated Clear Sky Clan is in hiding some may have been killed but significant amount remain.

              And at least the other 2 School (2nd and 3rd ranked) would know about it. Not where they are hiding but at least if most are dead. Also it is known the School went into to hiding right after the conflict. Some may have died before hiding but the Top 3 School are like brothers, so it would be impossible for Spirit Hall to clean out the No 1 clan without pissing off the other 2.

              PS: I am not saying other 2 School would actively oppose Spirit Hall. What I am saying is just think about it logically. If Spirit Hall was allowed to clean out Clan No 1, then who would be next to die out. Obviously No 2 and 3. To remain alive they would become like slave.

              • Well, I don’t think it’s likely, just because the author probably wouldn’t write it that way… but logically speaking, no one knows if Clear Sky exists atm. Like, whether they’re in hiding, or if most of them were exterminated and only a handful remain, either way, only Tang Hao and the higher-ups in Spirit Hall know at this point in the story lol.

            • It has been said the Whole Clan went into hiding and also why (just hinted) and when. The only unanswered question are how (were they able to hide) and where. The source can be considered highly credible – Ning Rongrong’s Dad and I think even the price confirmed it (Plz do check, If I am correct about prince). [Sorry I am bad at remembering name].

              So I am 100% confident, most of them are alive.

If you’ve ever bit your lip or cheek before and had the taste of your own blood, then you know it can be very iron heavy and taste either sour or sweet.

    • I really love the fact that the MC isn’t some fluffy bunny-hugging (*cough-cough* excluding Xiao Wu) pansy who shirks at doing what he needs to get stronger to protect the people that he loves. This also isn’t some magical *eat-this-pill-and-get-stronger* (we already had the *souped-up-drug-stage* lol). This is a kill everything in sight to gain a ruthless aura of a cold blooded killer. I feel the story progression for Tang San to get stronger is realistically brutal and difficult, he hasn’t had a walk in the park while obtaining strength yet.

      Look, I get the fact that everyone in Slaughter City are blood-stained maniacs who deserve whats coming their way, but I know that even in my wildest imagination I wouldn’t be able to become a mass murderer for the sake of other people. It takes a special kind of dedication to mindlessly slaughter your way through a death-match Colosseum for the sake of obtaining strength. Although getting through there being the only means of ever seeing the light of day might contribute to Tang San’s state of mind.

And for some reason neither of the empires or Spirit Hall has taken control of it yet and just let it exist…. Despite all that and my issue with how it doesnt seem to fit, I am going to enjoy seeing Tang San slicing his way through this city, this arc should be alot of fun

      • Do you seriously think Spirit Hall couldn’t take this city? We’ve seen Title Doulou, like Tang Hao, crush people without using their spirits at all, if Spirit Hall brought out their full strength then Slaughter City would fall, same for the Empires bringing in actual armies that dont need spirits. It’s not like the city is magic that restricts all spirit abilities, it’s most likely a tool controlled by the king which means A. there’s a way to either turn it off or block it’s effects(thus how his elites can use abilities), B. It has limited range so attacks from outside could work. and C. if it’s a tool it can be destroyed. It would be costly but it could be done. Most likely if either empire or Spirit Hall was able to gain complete control of the continent they would then come and destroy this place, until then they’re content to let it be

The place may be a “haven” for criminals, but the price for survival in there is high, so they’ll likely take care of the majority of the problems by themselves.

          • 1 title doulou, multiple spirit Doulou. And how big is the range of effect on this cancelling ability? Tang San was able to use his abilities at the bar and then walk to the city gates where he couldn’t use them anymore. Title Doulou can use attacks with massive damage and range, or do you not remember Dogu Bo worrying about destroying a mountain on accident while fighting the Golden Triangle, or that he later said he could kill everyone in Heaven Dou City(one of the 2 largest in the world) with his 9th ability? There’s a good chance that you could destroy a large part of the city and maybe whats keeping the powers suppressed form outside it’s range. Also since some people can use abilities then odds are they have a spirit tool that is negating the effect of the one shutting off abilities, if thats true then someone like Tang Hao enter legitimately, find one of the Spirit Doulou lvl guards that can use abilities, kill him, take whatever item lets them use abilities inside the city, then go nuts with all his powers and wipe the city out…

            Also to the guy that said the other powers might not know the city exist, where do you think the charm girl from Spirit Hall was going? She’ll be showing up here inside the city before long

Tang hao and the clear sky sect is all about “Tyrannical strength” you saw how tang San was training I’m pretty sure physically the other title dulo are lacking compared to him unless they are beast spirit master who focus on strength and I doubt there’s many of such title dulo. Another thing the 2 empires and spirit hall absolutely hate each other they won’t work together to attack that place and they won’t waste time individually attacking that place for fear of a sneak attack by their true enemies. Each other.You don’t know the extent of the range of the thing that can take away spirit power so your statements are irrelevant. The main points I really want to drive home is that you don’t know how many “hidden experts” this place has as well and I doubt that even if tang hao was fully healthy That he would be able to fight another title duo the same rank as him if that title duo could use his abilities while he was restricted to not being able to use his abilities.

      • I think you need to re read this chapter to understand. Title doulous wouldn’t stand a chance against a doulous alone, since they couldn’t use their spirit rings.
        Tang San Explained that, especially if there’s a title doulous with them. They would get wiped out. Even tang hao couldn’t fight a title doulou without spirit rings.
        Also Even if they some how succeed, they would have lost number of people and weakened their military power. Making it arrogant.
        Also it’s underground so there is no way someone could destroy it, if they tried they would have get killed.

      Since the world doesnt have any hidden weapon knowledge, and actual non-spirit based physical combat knowledge seems pretty rare, it’s essentially a rigged fight for 99% of the experts even if the person was only somewhat powerful.

      So the ruler of the area would essentially just be whatever spirit master happened to find out how to control it first…. nothing spirit hall or anyone, other than a few freaks like tang hao, could possibly do about it, and even they are SOL when the opponent is a title douluo

    • Not sure where to argue so I’ll reply to the original post, The material that takes away spirit power was left behind by a 100 doulou-or its rumored so- and probably can’t be damaged by spirit power attacks, plus there’s a 21 foot drop into a 36 meter (I think that’s what it said) tunnel. Spirit hall definitely already knows about it because they sent that one fox lady there which was mentioned earlier in the story, and they probably see it as a place to send people to grow stronger and a place that’s not worth the effort of taking. Why would you take a fortress that would cause deaths of title doulou of which there are at most 50 total in the entire continent so there a supreme power. Also title doulou are arrogant people and wouldn’t admit to not being able to take the city. The idea of the city is pretty stupid I have to admit since it just seems like an excuse for a lot of murder. As said earlier in the story spirit doulou would be able to kill title doulou in the city if the title doulou couldn’t use their abilities, so imagine what a title doulou could do. Another point is if it was a tool it had to have been left behind by an immortal doulou and more than likely wouldn’t be something a title doulou can break.

      I know I’m doing a lot of restating but I thought it would be helpful to see it al and a little more in one place.

  27. im happy with this ark we haven’t seen the full display of tangs san hidden weapons and i like how this is going to be all about his hidden weapon techs taking most of the show. can there be any other situation just to show how OP tang is and we thought the school comp was going to be the high point. man he is going to a legend of every level i wonder how great his legend will be when its all said and done
