Douluo Dalu: Legend Of Xiao Yan

Xiao Yan continued to stare at the fruits attached to the tree with clear shock and surprise expressions.

Five minutes later, he calmed down and moved closer to the tree while muttering.

"Devil fruit... Devil fruit... Devil fruit..." He said like a man who was possessed.

But when he came closer and able to see the fruits more clearly, he stood stone still.

'No. Those aren't bloody devil fruits.' They clearly wasn't now that he was close to look at them but not too close that he would cause the sleeping spirit beasts to wake up.

They weren't swirl like fruits but red fruits with yellow tribal markings. They don't seem to release any kind of fragrance, that might be because he was several feet away from them, but now that he was near the tree Xiao Yan felt the surrounding spirit energy around him to converge towards the tree more specifically, the fruits.

'I think I heard this type of fruit before from Tang San once or twice in his teachings to me about all kinds of medical and poisonous herbs. He said that those fruits are the so called, Purification Fruit. A rare type of fruit that makes anyone who ate one to have their meridians purified and strengthen the condition of their body to a peak state, depending on their age. Especially if their 10,000 years in age. They would have the person who ate the fruit to shed their old skin and create anew. Their blood, bone marrow and meridians will also evolved. Making them experience a sorta pseudo rebirth. But it can only work once and only for spirit masters that haven't gotten their spirit ring.' Xiao Yan thought as he surveyed his surroundings and the two sleeping spirit beasts.

It was supposed to be a rare type of fruit that all the famous clans and families in the entire Douluo Continent would instantly buy for 140,000 spirit gold coins just for a hundred year old one. The effects aren't the same as a 10,000 year old one but it can still help strengthen the eater's body condition. For a whole tree of it just standing right in front of him, isn't this lucky!

Xiao Yan's mouth turned into a huge blooming smile as he stared at the tree in greed. He was just a few seconds away to run up to the tree and grabbed all the fruits on it. Some of them he would give for his close friends and whatever remained of the fruits he would either sell or make it be a bribe for someone when he needed it.

But no. He didn't act on his impulse of being a human. Even if the greed of wanting the fruits was great, the need to survive was far more greater. Especially...

'This is suspicious as f.u.c.k!' He thought with a calculating expression.

A single tree fully bloomed of Purification Fruits? If this ain't a bloody trap then I'm either clearly reckless or retarded.

'I know that the Purification Fruits are beneficial for spirit masters/humans but what about spirit beasts? What I recall about those spirit beasts, the Brown Furred Moose, are just common spirit beasts that aren't just too far away from being normal animals except for having spirit energy and great physical power.' Xiao Yan tried to remember anything noteworthy about the Moose spirit beast from all the lectures he asked for from grandmaster.

'The only thing that stood out about this spirit beast is about a legend of them being descended from the Golden Dragon King due to their immense physical power and bloodl.u.s.t for anyone when they get 'triggered' in battle. But many scholars and even grandmaster disregard the legend due to the Brown Furred Moose having no physical similarities to the great dragon like golden skin, fur, scale, red eyes, etc.. Even the spirit beast's strength could only be within the middle ranks of brute strength type spirit beasts.'

'So why? Why are they guarding the tree and why hasn't no one discovered this?' Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes at his unanswered questions.

He stood still just dozens of feet away from the tree and spirit beasts. Continuing to stare at the fruits in concentration.

He stood there like a black stone statue for a whole ten minutes before he blinked his eyes and widened.

'I just got the most brilliant and ingenious plan that could definitely, 100%, work out!'

<Present Time>

'That was the most stupidest idea that I have ever cooked up and I never shouldn't have done it!' Xiao Yan thought in regret as he looked deadpanned at the current situation.

It was just a simple plan. Go behind the spirit beasts, climb up the tree and get the fruits. Quick and easy.

But what messed up was his underestimation of a thousand year old spirit beast. Cause as soon he took a single step, the thousand year old Moose opened one of it's eyes and glared at Xiao Yan with so much intensity and killing intent that he almost shit his pants.

So, what was a Xiao Yan to do when a great beast with big f.u.c.k.i.n.g antlers stares at you with the intent to kill and maim? Do what the movies tell you to do. Don't move and it will go away.

Which clearly didn't work as the beast slowly rose up from it's spot. It's big f.u.c.k.i.n.g body, five times the size and weight of an a.d.u.l.t man, seem to limber up. It's hooves and head doing like what a f.u.c.k.i.n.g bull would do to matadors when they see something red in their hands.

It was at that moment. Xiao Yan knew, he f.u.c.k.e.d up.
