Douluo Dalu: A Great Big Brother - Chapter 78

Both boys were contemplating the changes in them after a while the heard Tang Hao’s voice in their head directing them towards him. Both boys eagerly went towards him but somewhat disappointed to see him alone after excruciating year they were longing for their family.

Tang Hao looked at their expression and said: “What you wanted to meet your mother too. but the way you are now will only scare them.” Tang Hao can feel the oozing killing intents of both boys and can see that it was quite menacing as they already had substantial killing intent before but slaughter city not only increased it but also killing intent was now merged and was way more than even him when he exited the slaughter city. Both brothers heard what he said and realized what their father was saying. They both have suppressed their domains but killing intent was leaking out unrestrainedly from them.

Tang Hao then said: “Now both of you need to resolve your problem first and learn how to hide your killing intent. You both will come with me to your Aunt’s pavilion and go through the cleansing process before meeting your mother and others.” He then told both boys to follow him. Trio went full speed towards Heaven Dou City. They reached the pavilion in 2 hours where Tang Hao directly took them to the top floor without alerting anybody. He the mentally called Tang Yue Hua to her floor.

Tang Yue Hua came to the floor and saw the killing intent reeking on the floor because of brothers she understood what has happened, then she immediately released her Noble Domain. The killing intent seemed to melt after coming in contact with her domain. She then berated Tang Hao for sending her nephew to slaughter the city so young. Both boys were amusingly looking at the scene where a Rank 99 Ultimate Clear Sky Doulou Tang Hao who can be said as peak existence in the continent, who can bring even Titled Douluos to their knees just by his presence was sheepishly rubbing his back of his head under the constant berating of his sister Tang Yue Hua A rank 9 spirit scholar. It was really a funny sight to behold. Their amus.e.m.e.nt came to halt when their aunt slapped back of their head and was moved from Tang Hao and was angrily looking at them. Both boys then repeated the same gestures as their father and their berating has now stated. Both boys did nothing but let their aunt to vent her anger on them. It was at that moment that they realized no matter how powerful they became they were never able to match or calm down the fury of a woman. They didn’t feel humiliated but felt the family’s elder scolding for the first time as even their father and mother trained them they never scolded them as both were very intelligent and diligent from a young age. The berating went for half an hour before it stopped.

After that Tang Hao told the boys to stay here and train and then come back to Tang Sect. When Tang Hao left. Yue Hua turned her attention to boys and said: “Your father walked Slaughter City’s Hell Road when he was twenty-eight. You both are almost twelve years earlier than him. Do you know what it is he left you here for a year to study with me?”

Tang brothers silently shook his head. Tang Chen knew but decided to go with the flow. Tang Yue-Hua watched Tang brothers with a burning gaze, “In the next period of time, I will instruct you both in all manner of noble etiquette and other mannerisms.”

“You’re not joking?”Tang San looked dumbstruck at his aunt. He was especially bothered by their new training regime. Tang Chen knew but he still shook his head, he knew what they will learn here wasn’t as simple as his aunt said. Negotiations and smooth-talking are powerful skill to have. It can help to win over or influence others without showing power. A must skill for a leader, if Tang San want to lead Tang Sect to the glory, he definitely needed this skill as he was sorely lacking in it as he never had outer world experience in both previous and current life. Even Tang Chen wasn’t well versed in the skill but in his previous life he had learned this skill to deal with difficult people.

Tang Yue-Hua said sternly: “Do I look like I’m joking? In one year, if you can’t meet my requirements, I won’t let you leave to see your sect. Very soon you both will understand the benefits of these things. One person, no matter how formidable, doesn’t have enough strength. Like your father, he was already formidable enough, but what has happened to him in the past? He doesn’t want you both to follow the track of the overturned cart. From now on, I am your aunt, and also your teacher.” Tang Brothers smiled warily. Tang Yue Hua said: “Evenings are your time, you plan them on your own. However, in the daytime, you will learn these with me. Until I’m satisfied. Do you know what the Moon Pavilion does?” Both boys shook their heads.

Tang Yue Hua then said: “My place here is the Heaven Dou Imperial school of courtly etiquette, specialized in teaching all kinds of noble etiquette. You should have felt my Domain. My innate domain is called Noble Circle. And my spirit rank is Rank 9 spirit scholar. Perhaps you would think of me as the most useless disciple of the Clear Sky School, but I can tell you that if your father could possess everything I am skilled in, the result of the events twenty years ago would be completely different. At times, strength doesn’t mean everything. You must learn to protect yourself even without relying on power. You must further learn how to exploit the art of language, and still how to walk between powers of all sides as well as how to control authority. I can see that you both are outstanding, however, you still have many, many things you must learn. Don’t look so embarrassed. I think that before long, you will understand the importance of everything I teach. Walking out of Slaughter City, what you need most right now isn’t strenuous cultivation, but rather to let all that you possess grow more stable.” Both boys then nodded towards her. Then a phase started in their life, their etiquette, and mannerism training.

One Year has passed, the brothers changed tremendously with all their etiquette training. Both celebrated their 16th birthday with their aunt at her Moon Pavilion. Tang Chen now wear black colored cloth with golden embroidery on it, He still has his ponytail black hair, He was now 6ft tall and have leaner built, there was a noble air around him. Similarly, Tand Chen now wears complete white coloredd clothes and was slightly shorter than him, his deep blue hairs were hanging around his waist. Both boys learned all the noble etiquette and Tang San even learn to play the harp.

They both have clear deep blue eyes, there was an aura of containment around both boys. It didn’t mean their acc.u.mulated killing intent has disappeared from them but now they both can truly contain it. When Tang Yue-Hua gave Tang brothers their first lesson, she had told them that a truly powerful person first had to learn to control everything about himself. Especially his mood and aura. Tang brother had undoubtedly done very well this year. Well to the extent that even an exacting lady like Tang Yue-Hua couldn’t pick out any flaw in them.

Their built may look leaner but astonishing power was hidden them especially Tang Chen as his all strength upgrade from birth was showing positive growth. His body became so strong that even Tang San Can’t physically harm him much less than others in the same age and ranks. He was sure that he now can defeat the late Spirit saint with the physical body alone. Both brothers were at Rank 69 they both would have become the spirit saint but it was Tang Chen’s idea to condense a core as early as Rank 70 while others do it at rank 90. They both were acc.u.mulating the required spirit power as it requires a huge power to condense the core. They will be able to form it in the upcoming few days due to Gold of life and Golden fruit they have taken as children it was even more not a problem for Tang Chen because of A.d.u.l.t Dragon Core he has obtained and absorbed. He also Told Tang San to hunt Dran beast for the next ring absorb its core to gain a slight boost. The benefit of the core is with its help they can fight formidable Titled Douluos not super douluo but Rank 92-93 douluo will not be able to kill them easily. Their spiritual power was off the chart, Any douluo under rank 96 cannot spiritually hurt Tang San and Tang Chen is immune to Rank 98 douluo spiritual powers.

They also learned what is happening in the outside world with the help of their aunt. Clear Sky Sect was at the same place as before but now was known throughout the continent. Clear sky Sect was getting prosperous bu they still hide their core strength inside the clan. They once made the mistake of letting the world know about their strength and paid for that mistake but they weren’t going to repeat that again. They didn’t want to move because their previous leader’s grave was there. According to their aunt, there were two more elders broke through titled douluo ranks and the last elder was quite close to it. Spirit hall is expanding its power but refraining to get conflict with the upper three sects. They have absorber lower four sects in them and were slowly acquiring the lands. Tang Sect is still hidden from the world as they were doing business with Seven Treasure Pagoda Clan only. They let sone low class and other items for auction but under the name of strength clan. They didn’t get much information about the conditions of Tang Sect as their aunt said they will know when they will go there.

They didn’t get any information about other Shrek devils.

Today was the day their training concluded. Tang Yue Hua trained her nephews separately on her floor as they were quite well known and targets of various powers. Boys spent most of their time on the 1st floor(their personal floor) or Magical Space. They spent morning training etiquette and evening cultivating. They constantly meditate or spar in space. When they first entered the space the plant beasts were trembling because of killing intent they reeked of, so both of them decided to stop hunting and killing till they can once again hide their killing intent. The still killed the beasts but for their meat for cooking only. Tang Chen was responsible for cooking for both of them and their aunt throughout their stay, he didn’t mind as he loves cooking and it helps in providing the distraction. Once they can contain their Killing intent they went to kill and hunt the beasts. They once again had quite a number of spirit bones with them. They did so to amalgamate their domains in their fight. After getting the Domains from slaughter city. Tang Sans GRAVITY domain now converted in DEADTHGOD DOOM DOMAIN, it combines both domains properties while Tang Chen’s domain has grown up multiplying its effect. Tang Chen’s deathgod domain seems to go through its secondary awakening after exiting the slaughter city. They both knew that this was not the true power or effect of their domain as the domain’s true power can only be shown after the Seven spirit ring. Tang Chen felt that his Hammer spirit was now progressing towards the divine tool reals after gaining Absolute strength and reinforced Deathgod Domain patten. It was already a transcending spirit but now it also has a sliver of divinity in the form of deathgod pattern but he still has a long way to go.

Tang Yue Hua came to them in the afternoon to personally give them the graduation test of their one-year training with her. She was now a rank 33 spirit grandmaster due to food provided by Tang Chen She was satisfied with such results as she knows her cultivation golden period has long passed. The exam went smoothly Tang Chen had an exchange about proper etiquette with one of the teachers in Moon Pavilion while Tang San showed his grace and etiquette in playing the harp. Tang Yue Hua was proud of what her nephews have achieved in one year. She has seen various others try and failed to get such results even after three years of training. she told them their father will come and take all three them to clear sky sect tomorrow, they have to do one more test before returning to Tang Sect and it will happen at Clear Sky Sect. As for tonight they were going to have a celebration for their success. Both boys have now grown to respect their willful and strict aunt. She never had a child so she loved both brothers as her own sons. She was strict, motherly compassionate, and fiercely protective of them. They had their celebration that night, Tang Chen cooked meal for all of them as usual.
