Chapter 58: The Reunion of the Imperial Warriors
Seeing Ye Lingling's interest, Yu Tianlin briefly described the attack method and principle behind Rasengan to her.
After that, the two of them drifted into other topics. When it grew late, they each returned to their own rooms to cultivate.
The next day, Ye Lingling had no intention of going back to the academy for class and simply decided to skip. So, after breakfast, the two of them went sightseeing around Heaven Dou City again.
Now that he had the idea of developing Rasengan, Yu Tianlin intentionally kept an eye out for the props he would need while strolling with Ye Lingling.
He recalled carefully. The development of Rasengan was divided into three stages. The first stage required a balloon, the second stage a ball, and the third stage another balloon.
Unfortunately, there were no balloons on Douluo Continent. Fortunately, there were still rubber balls.
Yu Tianlin had no better option, so he bought a few balls first. As for the balloons needed in the first and third stages, he would have to find substitutes. If that really did not work, he would just change his method of development. After all, he already understood the principle of Rasengan. Balloons and balls only made the process more convenient.
Once you understood the core principle, you could still develop the technique without those tools. It would just take more time.
After playing around all morning, the two of them went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the afternoon to see if Yu Tianheng and the others had returned, but once again it turned out to be a wasted trip.
Ye Lingling said Yu Tianheng and the rest might come back the next day, but that was only the most optimistic estimate. Finding suitable Spirit Beasts was troublesome to begin with, and if the journey did not go smoothly, it could easily be delayed by another half month.
Since they could not return anytime soon, they might as well wait a few more days. Yu Tianlin was in no hurry. He had already decided to skip class, so missing a few extra days did not matter.
The two continued to wander through Heaven Dou City, and over the next few days they managed to visit most of the city's famous spots.
Three days later, that afternoon, Yu Tianlin and Ye Lingling went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy as usual and finally saw Yu Tianheng and his group.
At the foot of the academy's mountain, six figures, five men and one woman, were running their laps. They were all drenched in sweat and looked as though they had been running for quite some time.
"Big Brother!"
The six were spaced out in a line, and the one leading the group was none other than Yu Tianheng. When Yu Tianlin saw him, he could not help calling out, then quickly sped up to run alongside him.
"Xiao Lin, it's you." Yu Tianheng was not particularly surprised to see his younger brother. He asked while running, "Where is Lingling? We came back last night and found she wasn't in the dorm. We asked her classmates and heard that she went out with a student from Thunder Academy. That student must be you, right?"
Yu Tianlin and Ye Lingling had indeed come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy the previous afternoon, but the two sides had crossed paths in time and only met now.
"Sister Lingling is over there."
Yu Tianlin pointed in Ye Lingling's direction, but since the two brothers were still running forward, they were getting farther and farther away from her. From this distance, Yu Tianheng could only see a faint silhouette and could not make out who it was.
Yu Tianheng immediately shouted to his teammates behind him, "Everyone, stop!"
Hearing his voice, the people behind him stopped one after another.
Dugu Yan, who had been running second and was closest to Yu Tianlin, wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked over, teasing, "Isn't this Xiao Lin? Tell me honestly, where did you abduct Lingling to?"
"Ahem, please don't use the word 'abduct.' I was worried about Sister Lingling, a support type Spirit Master, staying alone at Heaven Dou Royal Academy," Yu Tianlin coughed lightly and said. "And I also want to congratulate Sister Yanzi on obtaining her third Spirit Ring and advancing to the Spirit Elder realm."
"This time getting a Spirit Ring really was troublesome. Just finding the Spirit Beast my grandfather chose for my third ring took several days," Dugu Yan said with a smile. "But even though it was a hassle, this third Spirit Skill is very powerful. I can release a large area of poisonous mist to cover the battlefield and effectively restrict the enemy."
Yu Tianlin naturally knew about Jade Phosphorus Snake poison.
It was indeed very strong. The coverage was wide, the toxicity intense, and the onset extremely fast. Even a powerful attack type Spirit Master of the same level would be in serious trouble if they were contaminated.
Unfortunately, the moment you ran into someone who understood poisons well, it became much less effective. In the original work, Tang San broke Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison with nothing more than realgar wine.
Poison type abilities were not particularly overwhelming at lower ranks, and experienced experts could easily counter them using external items. When a poison user's rank became higher, the toxicity also increased, but the resistance and defenses of enemies at the same rank grew as well, making it very difficult for the poison to invade their bodies in the first place.
That was why Dugu Yan was defeated by Tang San, and why Dugu Bo could not win against Titled Douluo of the same level.
The true horror of poison lay in large scale slaughter of lower ranked Spirit Masters. In terms of sheer killing power against weaker enemies, few things could compare to poison.
As the saying went, "When the sun hangs high, the city is already slaughtered." Just picturing that scene sent chills down one's spine.
Because of this, most people avoided poison users. Even Dugu Yan's teammates had only come to understand she was a good person after spending a long time with her.
At that moment, the Shi brothers came over. They gave Yu Tianlin a simple nod in greeting.
The last ones to arrive were Yu Feng and Osler, and both of them looked exhausted.
"Ugh, I'm beat. Teacher Qin Ming made us run around the mountain, and then he sealed our Spirit Power. How are we supposed to keep up like this?"
Even from a distance, Yu Tianlin could clearly hear Yu Feng's weak complaints.
"You, birdman, are always flying around in the sky. Now you can't even run on the ground?"
Although Osler was just as tired, he still found the energy to mock Yu Feng with a smirk.
"Leopard, I really don't have the strength to argue with you right now," Yu Feng muttered. He did not bother to respond further. Instead, he walked over and asked Yu Tianheng with hope in his voice, "Boss, why did you stop? Does that mean we don't have to run anymore?"
"No."
Yu Tianheng shook his head mercilessly, completely shattering Yu Feng's fantasy. "Didn't you see? Xiao Lin is here too. Lingling is with him. If he is here, that means Lingling is as well."
Yu Feng looked around blankly. "Where is she?"
"Look, there."
Yu Tianheng pointed in Ye Lingling's direction.
"Uh, that's not right. That person is Lingling?" Yu Feng's eyes widened. "But that person is wearing white. You all know Lingling only ever wears black."
