  1. I was thinking that bagelson might be able to add a feature that says that he’s not going to update that day. On days where he’s not sure or is going to update, it would just say possible or something. I feel like asking for a schedule is inappropriate, but this seems like this might be easy to implement and for those of us that refresh way too often it would give us the occasional day where we don’t have to because we checked the site and it said not today or something.

  2. Please tell me the Blue Tyrant Dragon sect has at least a FEW directly related survivors. I just hope people like Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianshin survived.

  4. DAMN spirit hall are such assholes cant wait till tang starts smashing them with his op hammer of doom.
    AWESOME chapter thank you very much bagelson 🙂
    Im kind of curious if at least the one from the blue tyrant dragon clan guy from the spirit arena fight still lives(forgot his name). Because i dont belive they killed everyone or at least i hope there are still some left somewhere.
    But Spirit hall having over 10 title douluos i didnt expect that with that they should also be able to go against the clear sky clan if they find them.

    • I don’t think so.
      Because when Tang Hao fought against Spirit Hall he wounded 3 Title Doululus and 1 of them even died (the former supreme Pontiff).
      The clear sky school has 6 Title Doululus, that amounts to AT least 15 Title Doululus of Spirit Hall except Bibi Dong.

      • Yeah but Tang Hao was an real monster even within the Clear Sky school with a 100.000 years spirit ring which we dont know if any other Clear Sky title doulous have and i dont think they have one which makes them a huge step weaker then him not to talk about spirit power.
        And it was told that at least 10 title doulous of spirit hall where present at the attacks on the 2 great clans and that was still not counting Bibi Dong, Yue Guan and Gui Mei and who knows if they still have other title douluos hidden.
        I think in an all out attack where grand bitch Bibi Dong would also participate in there would be a good chance in the annihilation of the Clear Sky shool.
        Also they have gained 3 propably top grade spirit bones from the Blue Tyrant Dragon clan which i tink are now in possession of the spirit hall title douluos or the golden generation ace’s giving them yet another huge power boost for their best fighters.
        But i dont think that the attack on the Clear Sky school will come before Tang has finnished his 10 years quest for them.

      • Dont think so correct me if im wrong but i think they where talking about how she couldnt add any more rings after the 4th since she couldnt handle it. I think the allmighty Grandhamster or Dugu Bo talked about that many chapters ago

        • Ah, Anti. About this, Grandmaster was referring in this situation in chapter 80 in volume 12. You were mistaken about that Bibi Dong failing to handle it. The first spirit master couldn’t control the spirits after adding rings to both ones and died due to spirit conflict. I believed that Bibi Dong was actually second spirit master who was successful with her spirits processes. Tang San is now the third spirit master with twin spirits.

            Bibi Dong being able to handle the dual spirits would make sense because a enemy who is not just instand kill for an adult Tang would be pretty good for the story^^

  9. Bibi is an idiot. Spirit hall was strongest as a neutral force. Now that they have shown hostility, they are inviting upon themselves a world of hurt. They say Clear Sky School is in hiding, but hiding and doing “What” exactly? Surely not sitting around and twiddling their thumbs. They might hold sway over majority of the spirit masters but quantity can’t beat quality. Plus I don’t think she has a handle on ALL hidden powers. Did she forget that also, simple sorrow and heartbreak from Tang Hao crushed Bibi’s teacher and several Title Douluo? Now imagine a hundred Tang Hao’s from powerhouses who’s family she just butchered. She surely didn’t think they are invincible when one seriously angry man almost spelled ruin for Spirit Hall? Tsk Tsk. What makes Bibi think Lu is perfect? Tang San outclassed her from the get go. Even if she managed to kill him what makes her think that another monster like him won’t show up. Heck, she would be digging spirit hall’s grave if she did that. The remaining Shrek seven monsters won’t rest till she and the rest of them has been eradicated… Smh. Too late to go back now.

    • Also she doesn;t realize that she has pissed off Oscar, who is without a doubt the most talented of the Seven Devils behind Tang San (He’ll be rabid when he hears and his hidden weapon expertise will have them realize just how much they truly fked up) and when he reaches title Doulu rank he will be able to feed thousands of spirit masters as well use the other seven devils abilities with his mirror sausage. The crown prince and princess of the Star Empire are personal friends of the future Seven Tile sect leader, on somewhat friendly terms with the possibly dead future sect leader of the blue tyrant dragon clan, They will easily accept the request of friendship with their rival empire and it will blossom into one of the greatest alliances the world has ever seen. Ma Hongjun is also somewhat of a hidden tiger crouching dragon type character, he has a mutated phoenix (undisputedly the strongest bird type and well up there in fire types only really behind dragons) with fking adhesive fire (basically works like Amaterasu from Naruto) and he is going to be right pissed about what they’ve done to his Friends. Ning Rongrong has the capability to break through the 80th rank (something even her father wasn’t capable of) and reach the Title Doulu rank, a 7 man team with a title doulu supporter behind them? Basically invincible (especially when two title Doluo form a spirit fusion and get boosted). Our favourite Poison Doulu is basically the king of killing anything below the 70th rank in huge amounts, His Daughter could very well have died from this attack (basically been married to a direct descendant of the tyrant dragon clan). Then there’s the clear sky school with their close to 10 Title Doulu equipped with what is accepted as the greatest of tool spirits. She has royally fked up, even if she has full black spirit rings on her second spirit (possibly a red or two) she won’t be able to beat Tang San in a direct confrontation. Then there is of course Xiao Wu and Tang San, one is already near the point of invincibility in close quarters combat with people of a similar rank or one higher (Wiao Wu) and the other is a possesor of arguably the greatest dual spirit combination in having the most versatile of plant spirits and the strongest tool spirit, as well as his mastery of hidden weapons plus his control capablities, even at the 70th rank i don;t see any but the strongest of combatants taking him down in a life/death scenario let alone when he’s at the title doluo stage. Tang San is Extreme diff for any opponent below the 85th rank and above that it’s only really hard diff to mid diff with some of the true powerhouses going all out to kill him. AND SHE PISSED THEM ALL OFF? Bibi Dong don’t even know how much she dun fked up.

      • Exactly. 70%!? Pfft. Bibi, flowerbutt and masked emo guy are only three title douluo. Let’s throw in two or three more into the mix. That’s a max 6 total in their arsenal.

        Now, add clear sky spirit and title douluo, which should be a fair amount, then add Shrek academy’s mental dragon lady, bearman and miser bird and teachers who are around Emperor/king lvl, the old freak would NEVER let the young freak die, Tang Hao himself(crippled or not)the other top three sects (half destroyed or nah. Dragon clan must have had SOME survivors and Rongrong papi’s peeps are none too happy. Disciples have family too you know.) plus that one from the minor sect, that swore allegiance to Tang San from the start…Xiao Wu who controls basically ALL of the frikken forest with OP beasts big bros and finally the Seven devils themselves who by Title douluol lvl are beyond monstrous with a very incensed Grandmaster and TWO angry freaking emperors!?

        Uh. Where does she get this confidence from exactly?

Clear Sky is in seclusion, and it will be strange for them, who didn’t shown up when their subordinate clans were ambushed, but show up now, when Heaven Dou empire, that they are weren’t even backing when they were public is under attack.

      • When Tang San fought the TD from his clan, the TD only used a fraction of his strength. The current Tang San still has ways to go before even being considered a threat to a seriously fighting TD, even an ordinary one. And unless he gets some legendary materials, etc, his hidden weapons won’t be much use at the higher ranked levels. It’s been shown to be the case, and the higher level is where it counts. Revenge is possible, but it won’t be so simple.

    • Quality and quantity are not mutually exclusive though. In clan/school type organizations, they tend to correlate. It wouldn’t make sense for organizations to have few experts revere, but many weaklings worship and still be considered a force to be reckoned with. They estimated Spirit Hall to have 10 Titled Doulous. It is likely that they will have a similar 9:8:7:6:5 ring ratio of experts as other elite organizations.
      I.e., if one clan has 1 TD, 4 SD, 10 7-ringed experts, spirit hall would have something similar to 10 TD, 40SD, 100 7-ringed experts.

        And i guess they still have some title doulous hidden.

    and, yet another tournament???? as i said, tournaments are a way to stretch the story when author is out of ideas… no matter what idiots say, this is the bitter truth..

    Like

    • Tournament Arcs are the 2nd best arcs after Training Arcs.

      They serve as the best situation for a multitude of very important aspects in a story to advance and start

      1. Introducing new characters(Especially in chinese stuff, where there seems to be no obligation to bring them back later, it makes the world feel alive)
      2. Giving the characters more battle experience, a controlled(In theory) environment for all out fights is pretty much the best way .
      3. As proven by the earlier tournament arc, its an amazing way to build the world by bringing groups from all corners together and its a effective setting for advancing the plot.

      The only real problem is that its super common for tournaments to blow up and become a different type of arc. Hell based on the way the plot is going, theres a pretty good chance this tournament arc isnt going to happen due to a War Arc(3rd best depending on how its done) or something along those lines.

      • Tournaments are a way to justify dozens of consecutive battles without many people dying, and a convenient way of having flashes of insight. This can either be a series of bland, repetitive chapters, or a way of introducing previously offscreen powers. Or a bit of both. It all depends on the skill of the author. After dozens of chapters worth of tournaments though, I am hoping the upcoming tournament will be brief, or even offscreen completely. Guerilla or all out warfare would be something new to read about that the author hasn’t touched on much before.

  12. I’ve never understood the need for world domination, they’re one of the strongest forces in the entire world, they can basically do whatever they want and people let them do it. What on earth do they have to gain by massacring thousands of people and antagonise the rest of the world? Sure you might exterminate the top sects and remove a thorn from your side on the short term, but you’ve shown your true colours and that will come to bite you on the long term, nobody likes a dictator that brutally stamps out any dissent.

    Spirit Hall is so weird, they make the wrong choices all the time. Had Bibi Dong not been a jealous witch concerning Grandmaster and Liu Erlong, she’d have the best educator of spiritmasters as part of Spirit Hall. Had she told Tang San that whatever happened with his mother was because of the previous leadership and that it had nothing to do with her and actually treated him with kindness and tried to make it up to him and Tang Hao, they probably wouldn’t have this irreconcilable hatred between them. And they’d have probably tied at least a few of the Shrek Seven Devils to them as well.

    Hell, had they not gone after Tang San’s mother in the first place, Tang Hao wouldn’t have had anything against Spirit Hall. Basically had Spirit Hall stopped being overbearing, conniving douchebags and more like Ning Fenghzi they’d not have had all these problems they are facing at the moment.

    Now Grand Bitch Bibi Dong and that Hu Liena (who I actually had high hopes of betraying Spirit Hall for) will get what’s coming to them.

    • It’s about greed, always wanting more, or wanting to crush others who might undermine your existing power, and slow assimilation tends to take too long for many people’s liking. Even though I am content with my lot in life right now, I can understand people doing ruthless, cruel things to chase after what they want.

      “Grandhamster” hinted that it was Bibi Dong’s master who forced them apart, not Bibi Dong herself. At the time, all Grandhamster was, was someone stuck at the level 30 bottleneck. If you want to build a core of powerful people to watch your back, it makes complete sense to drive him away. If YOU were the supreme pontiff, and your apprentice was with someone who couldn’t even get past level 30, even if you didn’t drive them apart, you would believe there would be heaps of people more suitable as a partner, as someone who could watch their back in battle.

      Also, it’s was a 100,000 year beast. Of all the TDs we’ve seen so far, only Bibi and Tang Hao got such rings. It’s a massive difference, and in a world where strength means the difference between being someone’s bitch and someone who can do as they please. People slaughter each other for spirit bones, which are much more common. It makes sense to be ruthless about obtaining a 100,000 year ring.

      Tang San’s ancestors themselves, likely slaughtered enemies in large numbers themselves before rising to such prominence. (Prior to their disappearance) If this story’s protagonist was about someone whose clan was beaten up and humiliated by the Clear Sky Hammer school, would the CSH School they be the bad guys?

    • It was stated somewhere (don’t know where exactly anymore, but I believe it was when Tang San was having a crisis after that one draw in the tournament) that the reason why Spirit Masters with Twin Spirits should first only train the weaker Spirit is because if they only start adding Spirit Rings to the stronger Spirit after they reached a high level, they can add all Spirit Rings on whichever level they’re at the moment they’re adding them (ie Title Douluo: all 100 000 year, if he finds enough Spirit Beasts), since the age of the Spirit Ring they can add depends on their level and their capacities, not on how much Spirit Rings they already have on that Spirit. I hope that made sense right now…
