Douluo Continent: From Internal Martial Arts to the Law of Heaven and Earth

Dugu Yan pursed her lips and didn't speak, but simply raised her hand and pointed to the third layer of petals of the Nine-Layer Flower.

Soul power swirled around her fingertips as she exerted a slight force, trying to pluck at the petals. But no matter how hard she tried, the petals remained firmly attached to the calyx, unmoving.

Tang Shan's expression darkened; Dugu Yan was indeed temporarily unable to continue picking the Nine-Tailed Flower.

"Release your martial spirit and let me see it." After a moment, Tang Shan spoke in a deep voice.

Dugu Yan did as she was told and obediently activated her martial spirit.

Pale green soul power surged from her body, and in the next second, her legs intertwined and merged like a serpent, transforming into a long, lustrous snake tail. The snake tail was covered with dense, emerald green scales, each scale as exquisite as a finely carved piece of jade.

The face, which originally carried a touch of childishness, shed its immaturity the moment the martial soul was infused, gaining a cold and mature elegance. The purple pupils suddenly narrowed to vertical slits, becoming clear vertical pupils, carrying the unique majesty of a snake-type martial soul, making people dare not look directly at them easily, yet the stunning beauty between the eyebrows and eyes was captivating, forming an extreme contrast.

The snake's tail gently coiled, lifting her increasingly exquisite body after her martial soul was attached to her, her skin glowing faintly under the influence of her soul power.

Tang Shan's gaze flickered for a moment; he had never imagined that Dugu Yan would look like this after being possessed by his martial spirit. Her icy expression, intertwined with the alluring charm emanating from her very bones, was like a thorny datura, tempting one step by step towards depravity.

Fortunately, his will was strong enough, and he quickly came back to his senses. His gaze was fixed on Dugu Yan's scales as he carefully examined the changes in her martial soul. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Yan Yan, what kind of spirit beast did you hunt for your first spirit ring?"

“It is a green-scaled serpent with five hundred years of cultivation.” Before Dugu Yan could speak, Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, answered first.

Dugu Yan nodded slightly.

Tang Shan pointed to the scales on her snake tail, his tone becoming more certain: "Your martial soul has undergone a latent mutation, which you may not have noticed yourself. The emerald green of your scales is more vibrant than before, yet it possesses a restrained quality that makes people subconsciously overlook this change. This should be the result of the complete fusion of your first spirit ring's Azure Scale Serpent bloodline and your second spirit ring's Faceless Serpent bloodline under the catalysis of the Nine-Transformation Flower."

I predict that once you absorb the third spirit ring and obtain a new spirit beast bloodline, you should be able to pluck the third petal.

The effect of these Nine Transformation Flowers on you is not simply a physical enhancement, but rather to promote the fusion between you and your spirit ring bloodline, allowing your martial spirit to mutate in a more perfect direction.

"is this real?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's dim purple eyes brightened slightly.

Actually, she wasn't fixated on the medicinal properties of the herb; it was just that Tangshan had given her such a precious treasure, yet she hadn't been able to fully utilize its value, and she felt she had let him down.

"I can't be 100% sure either; this is just a speculation based on the changes in your martial soul." Tang Shan shrugged helplessly. After all, the Nine-Transformation Flower wasn't a celestial herb that appeared in the original story, so he couldn't accurately determine its effects.

"It's alright, Yan Yan." Seeing this, Dugu Bo quickly comforted her, "After your last transformation, your cultivation level has reached the peak of level 29. As long as you cultivate in peace for a while, you will soon be able to break through level 30. When you absorb the third soul ring, you'll know whether it's as this kid said or not."

Yes, we're only one step away from level 30. We'll be able to verify the answer then.

Dugu Yan took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart. The disappointment in her eyes gradually faded, and she regained her usual radiance.

"Just like Grandpa said, we'll be able to verify it soon. Don't worry, and don't let the matter of the immortal herb disrupt your cultivation rhythm," Tang Shan added, trying to comfort him.

Dugu Yan withdrew her martial spirit, and her snake tail slowly transformed into legs, restoring her appearance as a young girl.

She looked up at Tang Shan, her purple eyes filled with a hint of reproach, and rolled her eyes at him in annoyance—what a blockhead!

Tang Shan was baffled by that look, wondering why Dugu Yan was rolling her eyes at him.

He was completely unaware of what was happening, but Dugu Bo, standing to the side, was heartbroken: It's all over, it's all over, judging from this, his granddaughter is probably really going to fall into this kid's hands!

If Golden Crocodile Douluo knew what Dugu Bo was thinking at this moment, he would most likely beat him up: "How about we switch?" Xiao Xue is more and more enthusiastic each time, but every time she says "left and right arms" or "capable subordinates". If she had half as much straightforwardness as your granddaughter, I could also go to that kid with a legitimate reason to ask him about the technique of fusing blood, soul power and spiritual power!

……

On the other side, in a spacious hall, seven distinct elemental forces were surging wildly. The clarity of water, the heat of fire, the weight of earth, the speed of wind, the holiness of light, the solitude of darkness, and the etherealness of space—the seven colors of light intertwined, and the elemental fluctuations surged like layers of turbulent waves.

"Match it up!"

A clear shout rang out.

In an instant, the seven elements that had been raging wildly suddenly subsided, no longer clashing with each other. The power of the four elements—water, fire, earth, and wind—was the first to condense, transforming into four crystal-clear elemental flowers that settled steadily below, forming a solid base. Next, the power of light and darkness intertwined and condensed into a black and white two-tone flower, supporting the four basic flowers and forming the tower's body. Finally, the ethereal power of space spiraled upwards, transforming into a shimmering silver spatial flower that settled at the very top, becoming the tower's spire.

Seven flowers, layered upon each other, coalesce into a delicate flower tower the size of a palm, with each layer of the tower corresponding to an element.

The next second, the pagoda trembled slightly, and its layers began to merge. The light became increasingly intense, and under the watchful eyes of three people who were both tense and shocked, it finally condensed into a huge seven-colored flower.

Petals of seven colors—blue, red, yellow, cyan, black, white, and silver—unfurl layer by layer, each petal as clear as jade, shimmering with the luster of its own element. At the heart of the flower, the power of the seven elements intertwines and swirls, forming a small vortex within which terrifying energy is brewing wildly, as if it could explode at any moment.

Her fair, delicate hands lifted the mixed-element flower, and the volatile elements became as docile as if they had met their master in her hands.

Chapter 189 Gu Yue Enrolls, Xiong Jun is "Injured" (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

A long silence fell over the spacious hall.

The radiant flower of mixed elements spun slowly and gracefully, its serene demeanor mirroring that of its owner.

call!

After a long while, Meng Shenji finally let out a long breath, his gaze fixed on the pretty black-haired girl, his eyes filled with shock.

What do you all think?

Gu Yue spoke with a smile, her tone relaxed.

Previously, she had asked Biji to find a way to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Biji did not disappoint her and found the simplest and most direct method - she went directly to the three education committee members, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan and Zhilin, first showing her strength at the Title Douluo level, then claiming that a junior in her family wanted to enroll, and also bringing up the all-purpose excuse of "hidden family".

On one hand, there was the immense pressure emanating from the "Healing-Type Title Douluo," and on the other hand, there was curiosity about the genius of the hidden family. The three education committee members agreed to Bi Ji's request almost without hesitation.

After all, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy already had no shortage of people with connections, so one more wouldn't hurt. Moreover, they could use this opportunity to befriend a powerful figure who was very likely to be the first support-type titled Douluo on the continent. How could they refuse such a good thing?

And so, today's meeting came about.

When Biji brought Gu Yue to their door, Gu Yue displayed his talent, which gave the three education committee members a slight shock from the Silver Dragon King's control over the elements, once again refreshing their understanding of genius.

"Are you really only ten years old?"

Meng Shenji was the first to come to his senses, his voice filled with disbelief.

Gu Yue blinked and nodded reservedly—although she couldn't remember how many years she had been asleep, she had deliberately set her age to ten when she transformed, so she naturally wouldn't make a mistake.

"Genius! Truly a genius! An unprecedented genius!"

Bai Baoshan slammed his hand on the table, his excitement almost overflowing: "Such amazing elemental control ability, he's simply a prodigy! He feels like he's on par with that kid in terms of sheer freakishness!"

"Ahem." Zhilin quickly interrupted him, secretly glaring at Bai Baoshan. The girl was still young; how could she speak so recklessly? What if she corrupted the child?

Having slept for countless years, yet still appearing to be ten years old, the Silver Dragon King blinked and asked with feigned curiosity, "Who else is as freakish as me?"

"Ahem, I misspoke. He's not a freak, he's a genius!"

Bai Baoshan quickly changed his tune, trying to regain the authority of the Education Commissioner: "He is a student of our academy, with unparalleled talent and unimaginable strength. While your elemental manipulation ability is indeed extraordinary and comparable to his talent, there is probably still a gap in combat power."

Gu Yue was overjoyed: Could this person be the chosen one of the plane I have been searching for?

She couldn't help but recall her journey—not only had she had to resist the temptations of all kinds of delicious food in the human world, but she also had to maintain the Silver Dragon King's full majesty at all times to prevent Brigitte from discovering that she was secretly eating. It was really too hard!

"Who is he?"

Gu Yue suppressed her eagerness and quickly pressed for an answer.

"His name is Tang Shan, and he possesses a Body Spirit. A Body Spirit refers to..."

Fearing that Gu Yue might not understand the true nature of her martial soul, Zhi Lin offered a few more simple explanations. In his view, it was perfectly normal for geniuses from reclusive families to be so focused on cultivation that they wouldn't know about martial souls that were once considered useless; moreover, if she hadn't devoted all her time to cultivation, how could this girl possess such astonishing elemental control abilities?

Gu Yue completely ignored Ke Zhilin's explanation. Her mind was filled with doubt: Wait a minute, why is it Tangshan again? Where is the chosen one I'm looking for?

On the way here, I noticed that the fates of many people in the academy had been altered. Logically, the chosen one should be here, but why couldn't I find any clues?

……

On the other side, as if sensing someone's thoughts, Su Yuntao couldn't help but sneeze.

He looked at the scorching sun in the sky, puzzled, then scratched his head, thinking to himself: How strange, why am I sneezing on such a hot day? Could it be that Dad and Shanzi are thinking of me?

Ahead, the outline of a city wall can be seen in the distance.

A vast and mighty will quietly permeated the heavens and earth, and a wisp of that will landed on the young man walking on the road.

……

Seeing that her master's eyes were vacant and he was clearly lost in thought again, Biji shook her head helplessly and then interrupted Zhilin's introduction of Tangshan: "What do you all think?"

Before she finished speaking, a rich life force surged from her body, transforming into gentle soul power that instantly filled the entire room.

This soul power was completely harmless, yet cold sweat simultaneously broke out on the foreheads of the three education committee members. They instinctively exchanged glances, their years of tacit understanding leading them to an instant consensus: this was no ordinary Title Douluo!

As the chief education committee member, Meng Shenji spoke first, his attitude becoming increasingly respectful: "Senior, rest assured, with Gu Yue's talent, there will be absolutely no problem for her to be admitted to our academy! Please feel free to make any requests you may have."

What a joke! Such a genius, perhaps even comparable to Tang Shan, would be unforgivable if he weren't accepted. Moreover, there's a Title Douluo with unfathomable cultivation standing beside him; Gu Yue's enrollment is practically a done deal.

Seeing that Meng Shenji had agreed, Bi Ji slowly withdrew her aura.

Meng Shenji secretly gave Bai Baoshan beside him a wink, signaling him to speak.

Bai Baoshan, who had the most approachable appearance, looked troubled and cautiously glanced at Bi Ji: "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask. Of course, in any case, there is no problem with Gu Yue's enrollment."

At first, he wanted to address Bi Ji as "Senior," but then he thought that although he was an old man, she was a young and beautiful female Title Douluo. However, no one could say for sure who was older or younger—it was common for healing-type Title Douluos to have ways to maintain their youth. Also, considering that most women were reluctant to be called old, he simply changed his address to "Your Majesty."

Jade Swan, Brigitte, was known for her gentle nature. If it weren't for Gu Yue's enrollment, she probably wouldn't have even released that bit of soul power pressure just now. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "Please speak."

"Well, now that Gu Yue has joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, would it be possible for her to represent the academy in the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies? Of course, everything will be based on Gu Yue's cultivation progress. If she can't find the time, we will not force her."

Bai Baoshan's tone was exceptionally polite, after all, the person he was inviting this time was different from the person he was inviting from Tangshan.

Xue Qinghe is a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. It wasn't too difficult for him to let Tang Shan, who was under his command, participate in the competition. Although Xue Qinghe only agreed to let Tang Shan participate in one competition, the process went smoothly.

Gu Yue was an outsider student, backed by a mysterious and terrifying hidden family. No one knew if other Title Douluos were secretly watching her. Inviting her to participate through the Empire's connections was obviously unrealistic; he could only try to bring it up under the guise of enrolling in the university.

If Gu Yue agrees to participate, Tang Shan will participate in one edition, and Gu Yue will participate in another edition, and the academy will be able to win the championship for two consecutive editions. How could he not be tempted by such a good thing?

Instead of answering immediately, Brigitte turned her questioning gaze to Gu Yue.

The three education committee members were all taken aback: Gu Yue's background was indeed extraordinary! Even a titled Douluo had to seek her opinion, so it seemed that their previous guess that the two were in a senior-junior relationship was completely wrong.

"can."

Gu Yue's answer made Meng Shenji and the other two overjoyed, but her next words plunged their spirits into despair.

“I can participate, but I’m very interested in Tangshan. Whichever year he participates in, I will participate in that year as well.”

Bai Baoshan's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, but in the end he didn't say anything—forget it, it's already a pleasant surprise that Gu Yue can participate, why ask for more? With her there, it's a guarantee, and if the Spirit Hall team is strong that year, it will increase their chances of winning.

Of course, Bai Baoshan really couldn't imagine how terrifying Tangshan, whose fighting power was already terrifying, would become by the time of the competition, or what kind of outrageous opponents he would encounter that would require the help of others.

"This is an identity token, which allows you to freely enter and exit most areas of the academy."

After completing the enrollment procedures, Biji exchanged a few pleasantries with the three education committee members and then led Guyue out of the sixth floor of the main teaching building.

"Did Di Tian come by yesterday? Did something happen?"

As Gu Yue walked down the spiral staircase, she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked casually.

Biji's expression immediately became somewhat subtle, as the image of Di Tian and Xiong Jun secretly visiting their master yesterday flashed through her mind. Fortunately, she quickly found an excuse; wasn't Xiong Jun's experience the best explanation?
