  1. Erm. Just wondering but why can’t the others also eat the mirror sausages with Ning Rong Rong’s abilities? Then use it to support them? The effects doesn’t add up? Or did i get the wrong idea about Oscar’s mirror sausage???

    • They wouldn’t be able to use their own supporting abilities, making them unable to advance together with Tang San, and therefore being unable to cast the supporting technique because of the lack of range.

        • The Mirror sausages can last a year though so he should have already prepared these sausages a long time ago. That is how everyone has one with Dai Mubai’s abilities…. So admittedly doesn’t make a lot of sense why they don’t have a second Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to use on Tang San right now. Dai Mubai should be at full power since he was second to go so he could of used it.

            • I would think the effect simply would last too short a time. It would probably be more negative then positive. First the pink one has to be eaten strait after its made. So say he ate it after he got to 99 then the effect would probably already have ended before 108. The loss of strength, would be like a giant slap in the face. And while over 100 I do not think he would be able to create anything. Even eating a sausage would probably be too hard.

    • The effects of the 7 tile glazed pagoda (or whatever it’s called) don’t stack. It comes up when her abilities are first introduced that if two spirit masters use the pagoda on the same person the effect is just whatever the higher pagoda users spirit is. So like if one boosts 70% and the second pagoda user only boosts 60% then the target just gets the 70% boost not a combined 130%.

      • But Dai Mubai, since he’s highest in power after Tang San, could eat a mirror sausage and use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda on Tang San. It’s worse then Oscar, but better then nothing.

        • Remember, with Oscar’s spirit bone, he gets 80% usage, instead of 70% like everyone else, so Oscar using it is best. Even if Dai Mubai is a higher in spirit strength.

This means the ad pays more while you’re refreshing but then pays LESS for the foreseeable future. Refreshing the page lots can actually reduce ad revenue.

    • I have a theory, it looks like they only have few hours till the day ends they probably plan on having Tang san drain their spirit power when he is doing the climb so they have to save up as much as they can, Tang san thanks to his spirit bone can recover spirit power very quickly so its fine if he pushes himself but he cant have the others wasting spirit power like that, oscar is needed and he is already at full spirit power so he needs less time to recover again thats why.

Or go spirit avatar and at the last moment use his ”Where ever his grass is he’s there ability” if he can do it under the pressure? Man i’m way to excited for this xD

I’m quite sure he gave it to her at the end of the competition arc when he took the skull spirit bone that part of the reward for winning

  11. Thank you for the chapter! I Think the reason they cant/dont use Rongs’ ability on tang is probably a mixture of the fact only Oscar is a support spirit master, and so its only oscar who can use it, or they are all saving spirit power to help Tang get to step 333. Also noticed that they said rongrong had no spirit bone, skull bone from dream spirit master.

    • there is a loophole, they decide to all take the test the last day, that is not the best idea, they should have made a 2 people a day for 3 days then Tang San the last day with everybody help in their best condition.

  12. The whole reason why oscar is the one using RongRong’s powers is because he’s the one with the most expendable spirit power. Tang San needs everyone to have as much spirit power as possible and Oscar is the least he need it from. Tang san’s climb would be him receiving support from his teammates and draining their spirit power therefore he needs to converse Dai mubai’s and the other non support spirit masters.

  13. Poor Bai… those drugged kids just have too much of an advantage, else they’d probably be around her level right now.

    I mean, not only did those plants give them a few years worth of power in a day (and the younger you are, the easier it is to grow), but it also increased their base talent by a lot, making their growth much faster than any other Spirit Master. Plus, for a couple years, the excess energy from the plants also helped speed up their growth. So while they’re still young, their growth speed is monstrous, so their potential is still greater.

    The only one without cultivation benefits from the plants was Tang San… but he had mysterious heaven skills, the mental fortitude only an adult could have used with the potential of a child, cultivated earlier than most, eventually had an evolution that increased his talent further, and kept on level breaking his Spirit Rings (and the better ones rings, the better their growth will be as well).

    I mean, Tang San had a better 3rd Spirit Ring than anyone else (though it was worse than ideal 4th rings), 4th ring that would normally only be good for 5th rings, an upgrading 5th ring, and then a 100,000 yr ring….

    These kids just have too many advantages….

    AND I LOVE IT!!!!!

    But I do get annoyed by her constantly comparing herself… surely Tang San should have at least another miracle drug to help her.

    Thanks for the chapter XD

    • You’re argument is completely correct except for a few points. First- Tang has gotten the most op plants out of all of them for his growth, besides xiao with who ate the ginseng and heartbroken flower. He ate the ice and fire plants which made him immune to poison and built his body, along with the herb that leveled up his eye ability. Now only that, he has a special method of increasing his strength from his other world which enabled him to increase his body and abilities faster than everyone else.
      Second- even without the help of the elixirs, they were still geniuses that were farther than anyone else their age. Heck, they all set records for their ages. The items only increased their levels by 5 or 6 ranks- and they all grew up in extremely poor conditions. Think about it, all of the people they faced that were more powerful than them were 5 years older, and also had a powerful background which means that they had access to items and training techniques that increased their strength. So I don’t think Bai would be caught up with them at that point. Especially since she probably didn’t train as hard as they did in their youth either.

      Like

      • Actually, they didn’t grow up in poor backgrounds.

        Fatty and Oscar were found early and and raised by extremely powerful Spirit Masters, and Tang San and Xiao Wu had special methods, and the rest came from amongst the highest class backgrounds.

        Next, it wasn’t like the kids trained that much harder than the other geniuses. They all are usually forced to work hard.

        And after taking the drugs, the kids went up 5-7 ranks (which would normally take several years) and had their direct talent improve.

        And they weren’t geniuses ahead of everyone else their age, they were just top level geniuses. So they were just elites amongst their age group, but not overly special.

        It was only after taking the drugs that their Spirit Power increased to the point of being able to fight against those great geniuses 5 years older at the tournament.

        And Tang San’s herbs just refined the body, they didn’t actually increase his latent talent or Spirit Power, but cause of his unique cultivation method, he didn’t need it.

        With the exception of Spirit Hall’s 3 geniuses, the top level genius seemed to be reaching the 40’s around the age of 20 and 60’s around the age of 30.

        So while before taking the drugs, Shrek Devils were top of the line geniuses with great education, resources, help and background (for most of em’) they weren’t unheard of geniuses.

        They’d have been able to shock people, but they’d have just been genius, not the freaks they are now.

        Think about it, before the tournament, once they took the drugs, they went up around 10 levels, and then 5 years later, they went up 20…

        That’s about 30+ levels in 6 years.

        In their teens, they all had levels equal to geniuses about 5 years their senior, and in their 20’s, they have levels equal to geniuses 10 years their senior.

        But it was only after the drugs that they became unmatched talents.

        • They weren’t raised in proper conditions, Fatty and Oscar was picked up by Strong spirit masters however the place where they trained was not a special training ground that’s similar to their spirit type causing them to rank up faster.

          2nd they were all forced to train really hard except at shrek academy since they had grandmaster they were forced to train even harder than anyone in the continent.

          Yes the immortal herbs were a bit cheap however the spirit ranks theyve acquired would have been easily achieved under a year or 2 given at how much they’ve progressed in such a short time span pre-immortal herb. Look at Xiao Wu she barely lagged behind but she was able to keep up. Her progress is slightly faster than the rest of them shrek academy however its still reasonabe to say the rest of the shrek can progress almost as fast as xiao wu.

          That’s where you’re mistaken. They set records on achieving spirit ranks, Even without the immortal herbs. In 5 years they would have over taken the geniuses they fought since This is basically them in 5 years time. from 35+ – 68-74 is a humungous leap. You’re downplaying them far too much.

          You have so much miscorrect information. Shrek academy had good teachers however Resources nope, Background? ISH Oscar and Fatty were just found, Tang san and Xiao Wu has an amazing back ground, RongRong, Dai Mubai, and Zhu zhu qing does have the background however those backgrounds of theirs had nothing to do with their progress after rank 20. You completely forgot that shrek academy is ridiculously poor before they started earning money through battles.

          Again they were already unmatched talents even before the herbs since Blue Tyrant school was said to be elite geniuses and they had way more potential than them.

          • 1st, Xiao Wu was an exception because she was a Spirit Beast.

            Also, they weren’t breaking SPIRIT MASTER records before the herbs, just Shrek’s records.

            Also, in Douluo Dalu, the cultivation locations aren’t as important as pressure. Shrek had extremely advanced teachings.

            And no, Heaven Dou(not Blue Tyrant) were noted to be geniuses, but not really top geniuses.

            And the Herbs were HUGE help cause without em’, they’d have been at most in their 40s.

            Think about it, does it actually seem likely that a bunch of heaven defying talents just happen to come together?

            While they were peak talents, they weren’t unnaturally peaked.

            They should have reached the 40s by the time they were in their late teens and been matching Huo Wu and the other Academies.

            Also, before the herbs, their levels were MUCH lower than Heaven Dou, remember?

            The herbs gave YEARS of improvements, and the kids of Shrek actually got good environments when they were young, so they didn’t lack as much as you say. Remember, they still got the good environments as kids, and the rich kids weren’t gone from the great environment for long and Shrek’s education was considered better than most of those environments anyways.

            In fact, the only real advantage that rich kids would usually get is the fact that their families would allow them to get the best Spirit Rings (cause the better the ring, the easier it is to go farther).

            By their talent and hard work, the Shrek Devils shouldn’t have had much different results than other Spirit Masters of the same age.

            Think about it. Their talents were already numbered from 1-10 from young, and that number is their talent. With the exception of those with special spirits that give power from rank 20, the Shrek devils were top talents, but they shouldn’t be the only ones.

            They weren’t unmatched talents before the herbs, they were just top level.

            The cheats the kids got was beyond anything in the current Spirit Master world (and it’s used more in DD2).

            • They were able ot keep up with Xiao Wu’s cultivation
              pre immortal herb. Remember Xiao wu was around 33 while the rest of them
              except for Dai and Tang san was around 31-33.

              In doulou dalu cultivation location is also a big factor when it comes to cultivation
              and yes pressure does play a big part however to say that Heaven Dou did not have that
              or Spirit Hall didn’t have that is not true. Spirit Hall can be viewed as the Ideal
              spirit master cultivation as they are trying to cultivate the titled doulous.
              Spirit hall had both immense pressure (they have titled doulous) and cultivation locations
              yet the age gap between them and the Seven devils was not that big. Especially in 5 years
              time they still would have surpassed them.

              Heaven Dou were noted to be top geniuses 2nd to spirit hall geniuses. That was the
              whole reason why they didnt have to fight in the tournament except for semi finals against
              sprit hall.

              Again understatement dai Mubai REACHED 39 AT HIS AGE with the 5 year age gap between them
              and the geniuses. He was at the bottlenect of 39 and the immortal herb only helped him
              break through (instant compensation not the deepening of the foundation)

              Yes it does seem likely as Shrek had a reputation for only raising monsters most spirit masters
              wanted to enroll in shrek but could not. It seems very likely as Shrek seemed to be the school
              that knows how to cultivate spirit masters.

              In their late teeens before 20 years old they would have already passed 50 maybe close to 60
              if they have not taken the herbs again you completely downplay the potential of the devils.

              I’m aware of their levels being lower than Heaven Dou and even then they beat Heaven dou even
              though the last bit of is Tang San’s domination but that only goes to show their potential was far
              greater than Heaven Dou which were deemed Geniuses of geniuses 2nd to spirit Hall. Heaven dou
              at tha time were all 40+ while shrek was mostly under 34 except for dai mubai.

              now you are downplaying Heaven dou empire, you have forgotten how the principle of shrek academy
              had wished they went to Heaven Dou because the environment was far better and not only that
              there were far more elite teachers hence why he was even willing to give up shrek academy
              because their potential would not have been stunted. The environment at Shrek was good but not as good
              as heaven Dou before Grandmaster came and reformed it.

              The real advatanges of the kids are far more than just getting the best spirit ring they were receiving
              an ideal education. Idk where you would get that their education is worse than Shrek academy
              when shrek wanted to be a part of that school and Heaven Dou school being the best school of Heaven Dou
              land.

              By their talent and hard work they would have surpassed the rest of them. The teacher at heaven Dou was one
              of the biggest geniuses of his generation reaching 60 at an early age and he was well considered by the
              spirit doulous of Heaven Dou academy yet all of shrek seven devils broke his record. All of them
              possess spirits with much higher quality than most of geniuses. Oscar himself is an incredible genius
              for even reaching his rank as a food system spirit master and this was pre herb.

              Innate spirit talent is mostly determined by the quality of the spirit.

              I never said Shrek Devils weren’t the only one however they were the best as they were the highest level
              ever in their age excluding the pointiff or any one that havent been mentioned.

              they were already unmatched talents before the herbs provide proof that they wrent please.

                Also, Dai Mubai was younger than Huo Wu by about 2 years, and it was only AFTER the herbs that he was her match.

                So the herb helped them level up at minimum 2 years in a single day and then gave them even more of a boost from it’s energy and the fact that it increased their innate talent.

                And Shrek REALLY wanted the rights for the kids to join the tournament and battle against children of the same age group.

                If you remember, they wanted the original teachers to be the ones teaching, so they didn’t want another academies education.

                Without the herbs, Mubai would have MAYBE been early 40’s and the rest all in the 20’s and 30’s during the tournament.

                Again the Devils were PEAK talents (not unmatched) and in their later years would normally not have been much better than those other geniuses.

                It was ONLY after the herbs that all the devils were UNMATCHED.

                The herbs gave years of growth in a day, and for over a year gave considerable growth advantages while improving their innate talent by many levels.

                  After cultivating in mimicry environments they were able to keep up Xiao Wu’s cultivation
                  which is insane progress just like Tang san. The herbs increased in their spirit levels
                  in frightening heights but completely attainable within a years time especially with
                  with all the pressure and the mimicry environment they have.

                  Another year within that same progress of half a year theyve had including the bottleneck of 40
                  they would have all atleast been rank 40 or at the very least at the bottleneck of it.

                  They were all around 13 (before herb) at this point except for dai mubai whos 15 and Oscar 14. Another 5 years
                  and it wouldn’t be surprising if they were around mid 50s.

                  The herbs had nothing to do with their own innate talent .The herbs strengthen and deepen their foundation while the side effects of the herb improved the quality of their spirits. They already had the potential and had they reached the same age as Spirit Hall they would have still been higher ranked than spirit hall because they have the highest potential in Doulou Dalu

                      The things I want to give everyone have different properties and uses according to each person. There wouldn’t be any side effects.

                      The gifts I’ve chosen for everyone all attach most importance to strengthening foundations, they won’t spoil things for enthusiasm

                      a neutral immortal treasure herb, when eaten the energy will spread through the four limbs, blood clearing the eight meridians, and you can practice Vajra Strength Body.
                      The efficacy is all in the limbs, so this will make your cultivation twice as fast for half the effort. Since you’ve already reached the fortieth rank bottleneck, I think it will certainly help you break through the crisis. Once you’ve obtained your spirit ring the medicine will continue taking effect, and should have even greater promoting effect.
                      Eight Petal Immortal Orchid.
                      Absorbing it is easy, but requires a very long time. Its effect is to strengthen foundations and drive out impurities, its effect should complement the slow cultivation speed you have as a food system Spirit Master. The medicinal effect should even continue until you’ve cultivated to the seventieth rank.
                      Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
                      This time I’ve found you a nourishing and purifying yang medicinal herb, it should substantially increase your spirit power and flame.

                      1 STRENGTHENING FOUNDATION (which means more ease with cultivation on higher levels)
                      2 NOURISHING BODY and SPIRIT (Spiritpower power up; immediate and followup gain)
                      3 CLEANSING/IMPROVING BODY and SPIRIT

                      DMR was mostly right, though toiletbun also had some good points
                      Shrek Academy was among the top advanced schools however until Grandmaster came they were below Spirit Hall and only comparable to heaven dou imperial and star luo imperial academy.
                      They were regarded best mostly because (they only accepted) exceptional geniuses which were given a cultivation method based on experience of highlevel cultivators which was centered around pressure

                      The mimicry environments eased their cultivation and brought their growth to the top
                      The herbs helped them break through what was known as the top level

                      As for tang san although his cultivation didnt rise that much due to the herbs effect, he got passive buffs, which made his spirit overcome its weaknesses and his eye ability an attack

    • The Sea God wouldn’t give them these levels of trials if he wasn’t confident they couldn’t pass them, with in the time limit. Especially when Tang San is obviously going to be the Sea God’s heir. As well as when Tang San beat Motionless Bright King Zhao Wuji, after the fact the Author purposely added that the Shrek Seven Devils were questioned by a surveyor at the time that they were already Titled Douluo.

      “Several years later, when in the capacity of Shrek Seven Devil Boss Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai already won success and recognition, was asked, among Shrek Seven Devils, who was actually the most terrible?

      Dai Mubai without the slightest hesitation answered, it was Soft Bones Douluo Xiao Wu, for a very simple reason. Because she was Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San’s trigger[1]. Directly provoking Tang San might not at all be serious, but if provoking Xiao Wu and arousing Tang San’s fury. Then, terrible matters would appear, Tang San in that case no longer was Thousand Hands Douluo, but was Thousand Hands Asura.

      Dai Mubai all through his life was passionately romantic, even to the extent that within Shrek Seven Devils he was jokingly known as the Unrivalled Slut, but he had never teased Xiao Wu. Because he was an intelligent man, he absolutely did not want to confront a furious Tang San. And all this, was because before him occurred this scene to remind him.” My point being in this is to remind others of Tang San’s trigger a.k.a Xiao Wu. But most importantly, ALL Seven of them were Titled Douluo.

The seaGod bases it off potential or innate talent if I recall correctly and the reason why got Red Level trials in comparison to others is because of her spirit quality which is basically on the same tier as the seraphim spirit when it reached 9 levels.

Just because multiple people do a novel or game doesn’t mean that others won’t do it for the money and a constant release schedule.

    I love bagels on and Piggybottle for their time, high quality translations, and I only know about this novel because of them. But there are people who make a partial living doing translations like these, have a regular update schedule, and accept donations for their efforts. If somebody gave me an expected release date time and asked for donations I’d totally do it. Would i still come here? Of course. But you can’t be angry at followers that you have built up, given them exoectations, and not say anything. Am I entitled to anything? No. But my expectations and my time are devoted to someone else. The least I can so is give them periodic release times so that they don’t get angry or upset. It takes less than five minutes. And it will save a ton if headache and people will be very appreciative of it.

    Again I don’t feel entitled, I’m not saying they owe me anything. But if you start up a PUBLIC project and built up expectations if the PUBLIC then no matter who you are, you will be held accountable for it.

    I grantee if somebody else picked up this novel, asked for donations and had a steady release schedule there would he a lot of people who shift. Especially when there are currently 3 seasons of this. I’d love to read them all and as a bibliophile I’d gladly donate for the time it takes for people to put their effort into it. I’ve donated lots to Naka tsuki as it is. I can read for free and I feel they deserve something for their time. Bagelson not accepting his donations is his way of doing what he does and nobody can day anything about it. Is it wrong? No. Will people be upset? Yes, people are impossible to please. However, they are easy to placate.

If you speak chinese, by translating 2 normal chapters you could earn as much as 100-150 dollars daily ( what represents about 2-3hours of work). Some unscrupulous translators try to pick up famous (with a lot of donations) translation projects by releasing more chapters to surf on the success of the other teams.

But one thing is for sure, with Tang San giving his own energy to both Oscar and Rongrong, he may very well be barely alive after he finishes the test. But my guess is that he’ll be recovered to half his max energy after he actually “passes” the test and may very well get two levels for every test he passes.
