      • If you are very eager to read them, follow the link of the Chinese chapters and use google translate for the page.
        Although it’s quite rubbish and doesn’t compare to the great quality and the effort translators put into these proper translations, it is still decent enough to read through the story line for the points that you wish to learn.

        Word of warning: it is horribly addictive indeed and does consume your entire life, so for safety do stick to proper translations here which are more reasonably paced 😉

        • As a tip, I think the best machine translator would be bing.com/translator/ It is more comprehensible than systranet.com/translate/ or google translate. Of course it won’t hold a fart against these quality releases.

  1. I loved Tang San’s reaction “You’re not joking?”
    This chapter is making me look forward to him reuniting with everyone even more; I really want to see their reactions.

      • Indeed, even when I read the manhua I felt like I skipped a chapter or three. They made Xiao Wu look annoying and Oscar doesn’t look that good either… How about burning the people who made the manhua so they can never again destroy an amazing novel?

          Burning Them Seems A Little Too Exaggerated, Perhaps,
          Impaling, Should Make Them Regret It More.

          Don’t You Think, A Limpy Arm Seems More Befitting Their Lousy Work

    This is great! The best~! Looks like things will still get more interesting, I wonder just how Etiquette and Music will affect Tang San, just how will he use it and how he will fare in learning it~! kukukuku..~!
    So Great~! Wonderful~!

  4. Thanks Bagel. Anyway probably a lot of people would have ask this but since the dalu one is going to be finishing soon, will you corroborate with the current translator for dalu 2

          • Bro, this guy is actually really fast. Forget being patient this guy is freaking translating chapters, BY HAND not by machine, every couple of days… DO YOU KNOW HOW FREAKING IMPRESSIVE THAT IS!? It’s INSANE. The initial translations were kind of subpar but now… Well, quality speaks for itself. In any case, trust me, if this were anyone else you’d be waiting a week MINIMUM. If you want to see how difficult this is, try learning how to read Chinese and then try to learn how to translate it adequately so that it’s understandable by an English audience and NO, I DON’T mean shove it into a machine translator but to actually do it properly BY HAND.

  5. Many thanks for the chapter, awesome translation rate as usual!

    In regards to the story itself I can’t help but feel a little bit frustrated with yet ANOTHER training arc for Tang San from his father. It’s feels like seeing a US Navy SEAL being told to go back to highschool, then college etc. I miss the carnage and camaraderie of the Shrek team 😦 This is turning a tad too shounen-y for me.

    However with the overall awesomeness of the series as a whole and the great translation pace I’m still gonna read through this arc like a happy fool 😛

    • I think it might be refreshing to have a topic that Tang San has no past history to help with learning. IF, which is a big if, he has trouble, it’d be interesting to see how he handles the frustration

    • This is a wuxia light novel. Training never ends lol

      The story is already finished so don’t blame Bagelson for translating it :))

      Anyways, be thankful that he’s still training since the next challenges he’ll face is hell. In other words, this is the “happy times training” arcs.

  6. Remind me of Zorro scene:

    Don Diego de la Vega: You have passion, Alejandro, and your skill is growing. But to enter Montero’s world, I must give you something which is completely beyond your reach.

    Alejandro Murrieta: Ah, yes? And what is that?

    Don Diego de la Vega: Charm.

    • No dancing was mentioned. So I hope no dancing is there but it would be fun if he would be able to tango with Xiao Wu when they meet.

      But with Music and etiquette now when the Shriek Seven appears on stage or in fight we can have poses and background music – Think Power rangers 😛

      Tang San will be (Silver) Blue, Wu – (Silver) White, Zhu Zhuqing – Yellow, Dai Mubai – Black, Ning – Pink, Oscar – No Idea (Green – for food as in greenery), Ma Hong Jun – Red. Ma Hon Jun being Red will want to be the Leader but Leader is always Dai Mubai.

      Pose – Tang and Dai Mubai standing in pose in the middle with their wife standing besides them in pose. Ma Hong half seated in front of them in a pose and Ning and Oscar in similar positions on either side of him.

      Just Imagine. Please think of an appropriate Music, if anyone can.

  8. I think i shed some tears, im happy that he meet his aunt but im sad because their story (even if we do not know all the details).

    And its incredible the effect that this chapter has, i was just like tang san wanting for him to kill those how dare to step on the way and fill they hearts with fear, but after its revealed that he has an aunt the ambient compleatly changed and my heart melt and i though how much the hell road affect me as a reader wanting to keep going with the endless and meaningless slaugther and how silly that is. Its awesome how the story can affect you.

    Thank you so much for the chapter!

  9. Noble Etiquette and Music are Useless? ARE USELESS? Fuck your grandmother you ignorant prat. A calm exterior is the 1st step to a calm Interior. I’m not going to say more as it’ll become quite the rant but Fuck Tang San i thought you were a Genius.

    • Calm interior leads to an calm exterior… not the other way around…
      Noble Etiquette on the other hand is extremely useless… this is just to create a façade, an appearance of elegance to cover the fact Tang San can murder your family, rape your girlfriend, then take you out for lunch like nothing happened while you still think he is your best friend.
      Music on the other hand… this is the most important thing for Tang San to calm his soul and cleanse his murderous urges. (Except for heavy metal, that shit is dangerous)

      TLDR: You rage with full of ignorance, my condolences

    • Don’t you mean one HINT after another; and what hints at Tang San having a sister? And will this “sister” be a blood relative? a half-sister or a full sister? Or even an adopted sister?

      • Yes i know its oscar but what i wanted to know was if that nickname has some kind of meaning because in the battle spirit arena the manager was called “manager ao” but bagelson mentioned that his ao was a different kind from oscars so i asked what oscars ao meant

        Like

        • I think it’s about the chinese characters. There are more characters with different meaning but same pronounciation, like if we read wu it can mean dance(or something similar,I don’t quite remember), like in Xiao Wu, with one character or five, with another character. in this case in Little Ao refers to the “Ao” character with which Oscar’s name begins in Chinese, but the manager ao was an other character with different meaning. This is my guess, hence my name.

  11. Thank you for the chapter.

    If Tang San learns about music and noble etiquette, he’ll learn dance too. It may improve his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. 🙂

    Moreover he’ll learn a lot about politics, which is a domain he lacks a lot, like Mubaï said. Don’t forget he has responsabilities as the leader of the Tang Sect and its subsidiary clan, the One Strength Clan.

    Perhaps he’ll learn about ways for earning money. Even if he isn’t interested in those matters, that’s definitly not a thing he can ignore. After all, he has already 5 millions which didn’t improve in 4 years.

  12. Thanks for the Chapter!

    Its gonna be a hard transformation as even though Tang San was never really lacking in manners to come out of a place of slaughter to then act like a noble will be hard, especially with all the rules they have to adhere to

    It is probably to counter act the effects of Slaughter City and help him gain control. And be better at dealing with people.
