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

Dugu Yan's voice remained calm, but she secretly glanced at Tang Shan beside her, hoping he would react.

At this moment, Tang Shan's attention was not on the conversation between the two. His gaze was fixed on a short distance away, where a number of students were gathering in the same direction, and he could faintly hear their discussions.

"Ning Guang, what's going on with all these people gathered over there?" Tang Shan turned his gaze away and asked Ning Guang.

Ning Guang slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing, "Look at my memory! I was so busy talking to you guys that I almost forgot the important matter. Yu Tianheng and Xie Fei are going to spar with a newly recruited student. A lot of people in the academy went to watch the excitement, and I just happened to run into you guys on my way there."

"Oh? A new student? Daring to challenge both Yu Tianheng and Xie Fei at the same time?" Dugu Yan suddenly became interested, her tone filled with curiosity.

“I’m not entirely clear on the specifics, but I do know that he was a genius specially recruited by three education commissioners. Moreover, it’s rumored that the three commissioners have already submitted an application to His Majesty, hoping to give this new student the same special training and treatment as the three of you,” Ning Guang explained.

Tang Shan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

It's important to understand that it was no easy feat for him, Dugu Yan, and Yu Tianheng to obtain special training slots from the academy.

Strictly speaking, he was the only one who truly earned a spot solely based on his own talent—of course, this was also largely due to the fact that he was under the command of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Dugu Yan relied on her grandfather, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, for his status; Yu Tianheng, on the other hand, depended on the foundation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and the prestige of his grandfather, who was the sect leader.

Of the three spots, two were purely based on connections, and one was half based on talent and half on support.

"What is the newborn martial soul? What is its soul power level? How strong is it?" Dugu Yan was most concerned about its strength and pressed for an answer.

"It seems to be a dragon-type martial soul, but I don't know exactly what kind of dragon it is. Its soul power is not low, it has already reached the Soul Master level, but its soul ring configuration is just the standard yellow, yellow and purple configuration, nothing special."

"Dragon-type martial soul?"

Tang Shan's brow furrowed slightly, a black-haired figure flashing through his mind. He thought to himself, "Could it be her? If it's Gu Yue, then this is going to be interesting. But isn't her martial soul an elementalist? Is she giving up the act?"

“Even a Soul Master might not be able to win,” Dugu Yan pondered. “Yu Tianheng himself has a thousand-year soul ring, and Xie Fei’s Pipi Elephant Martial Soul has strong defense. In addition, the two have been partners for many years and have a tacit understanding. They are not easy to deal with.”

"Let's go see what's going on," Ning Guang suggested.

Dugu Yan turned to look at Tang Shan, clearly seeking his opinion.

Tang Shan was also curious about the identity of the new student, so he nodded and agreed.

The three of them walked together toward the playground.

……

On the arena, Yu Tianheng stood with his arms crossed, his face cold and his aura unapproachable. Beside him, Xie Fei looked embarrassed and helpless.

"Brother Yu, how about... we just let this matter go?" Xie Fei rubbed his hands together and said in a low voice.

"Forget it?" Yu Tianheng glanced at him sideways and said irritably, "Fatty, you've been beaten up like this, and you don't even dare to get revenge?"

"It's not that I didn't dare... it's just that I was really in the wrong back then." Xie Fei scratched his head, his tone somewhat ambiguous. "The way I looked at that senior was indeed a bit rude, so I deserved to be beaten up."

"Even if you were rude, she shouldn't have hit you so hard, right? If the healing department teacher hadn't arrived in time, your arm would probably be ruined." Yu Tianheng's tone remained icy.

Xie Fei opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end it turned into a soft sigh, not knowing how to refute it.

A slender figure stood quietly on the other side of the ring, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

The girl wore the same purple school uniform as everyone else, the tight fabric outlining her shapely figure. Her long, black hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, and a gentle breeze made the strands flutter, adding a touch of liveliness.

Her appearance wasn't strikingly beautiful, but she possessed a refined and ethereal charm. Her eyes, clear as obsidian, held a natural purity, and she curiously surveyed the surroundings of the arena, seemingly unconcerned about the upcoming sparring match.

This young girl was Gu Yue.

She truly didn't take this competition seriously. In her eyes, Yu Tianheng and Xie Fei's strength was at most comparable to a hundred-year-old soul beast, not worth her attention at all.

Especially Xie Fei. When they met again today, the way he looked at Bi Ji was still disrespectful. If Di Tian hadn't been away, Xie Fei's family would probably have been expelled from Tian Dou City long ago.

However, the teaching staff of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is not bad. The teachers from the healing department arrived just in time, which saved her from having to ask Bi Ji to treat Xie Fei after she injured him, which would have been annoying for no reason.

"I'll give you one more chance. Apologize to Xie Fei, and this matter will be considered closed. Otherwise, you won't be able to do what you want later."

Seeing Gu Yue's bored and dismissive attitude, Yu Tianheng raised an eyebrow and reminded her again.

He wasn't one to bully the weak, but although this freshman had been specially recruited by the three education committee members and her talent was undoubtedly exceptional, judging from her nonchalant demeanor, she was probably like those pampered aristocratic students—possessing soul power but lacking practical combat experience. If a fight were to break out, it wouldn't be good to hurt her.

"Are you perhaps afraid?"

Gu Yue finally withdrew her gaze from all around. Hearing Yu Tianheng's words, she looked up at him, a hint of curiosity flashing in her clear black eyes. Her gaze inadvertently swept over the top of his head, and she thought to herself: Another person whose fate has been changed.

Despite Gu Yue's obvious provocation and her strange behavior of staring at the top of his head instead of looking at him, Yu Tianheng did not get angry.

Three years of dedicated practice had honed his mind to an unparalleled level of composure, making it difficult for external disdain and provocation to easily sway his emotions.

If it weren't for the fact that the person injured was Xie Fei, his classmate of many years, he would never have taken the initiative to get involved in this matter.

Chapter 192 The Correct Understanding of "Those Who Dare Not Cause Trouble Are Mediocre" (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Who do you think will win this time?

"Do you even need to ask? It's definitely Yu Tianheng and Xie Fei. It's not like they're challenging a Soul Venerable for the first time."

"But that freshman is said to be not only a Soul Master, but also possesses a dragon-type martial soul. The three education committee members all praised her talent."

"So what if she has a dragon-type martial soul? Could she possibly be stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex? Impossible. In fact, it's precisely because she has a dragon-type martial soul that her chances of defeat are even greater. Don't forget, there's a concept of bloodline suppression among dragons."

"That makes some sense."

"Why haven't they started fighting yet?"

"You went to find the teacher. Fighting in private when the teacher wasn't around—were you planning to go to the registrar's office to pay the fine, and also spar with the teacher during the practical class?"

……

As soon as he arrived at the training ground, Tang Shan heard the whispers among the trainees. He looked up at the arena.

Yes, he knows all three of them. Okay, the result can be confirmed.

Unable to resist, Tang Shan lit a candle for Yu Tianheng. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul had clashed with the Silver Dragon King; how could he possibly win this round?

Gu Yue glanced at Yu Tianheng but then stopped paying attention, continuing to look around curiously. Suddenly, she saw Tang Shan below the arena, her eyes crinkling into crescents as she happily waved in his direction.

At this moment, most people's attention was on the three people on the stage. Seeing this scene, everyone subconsciously followed her gaze.

"Holy crap, what's up with the boss?"

"Could it be that they're supporting Yu Tianheng?"

"The key question is, when that freshman greeted the leader, did he also know the leader?"

"Wait a minute, who's that pretty senior next to the boss? Why does she seem so familiar?"

"Is it Dugu Yan? But she didn't look like this before. How come she's changed so much in just a short time?"

Tang Shan was somewhat helpless, but "forced" by the Silver Dragon King's "tyranny," he still waved his hand in response.

"Tangshan, do you know her?"

Ning Guang, standing to the side, was somewhat curious, while Dugu Yan also quietly pricked up her ears. She hadn't expected that this freshman would know Tang Shan; how could that be? Fortunately, the other party was of average appearance and posed no great threat.

"I saw her in the Star Dou Great Forest when I was getting my second spirit ring, but I didn't expect her to have joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy as well."

Although he said that, Tang Shan was already prepared in his heart. After all, when he carried Gu Yue back to the Crown Prince's residence, she had already told him that she wanted to join the academy.

What Tangshan didn't expect was that Gu Yue joined so quickly and suddenly, and that she clashed with Yu Tianheng and Xie Fei as soon as she joined.

He was genuinely curious about what had caused the conflict between the three of them.

I glanced at Gu Yue's attire—yes, that's right, it was the same unremarkable look she had when she appeared in Douluo Continent III. She didn't show her true colors as the most beautiful female protagonist in Douluo Continent, so it shouldn't be her face that's to blame.

Looking at Yu Tianheng and Xie Fei, one was motivated to improve himself after being hit by him three years ago, and he is now obsessed with cultivation and fighting all day long; the other is just a troublemaker at school. He is not bad in strength, but he is not hardworking enough and should not be the type to cause trouble.

"A dragon-type martial soul? That might not be enough to defeat Yu Tianheng. Boss, should you remind Yu Tianheng to hold back?"

Dugu Yan's purple eyes flickered, and she gently nudged Tang Shan with her arm, asking a question.

At this moment, Dugu Yan's little calculations were clicking away in her mind: First, she secretly hoped that Gu Yue would lose in a humiliating defeat and never dare to speak to Tang Shan again;

Secondly, this is also a good opportunity to test the waters. If Tang Shan really asks Yu Tianheng to hold back, it means that his relationship with this freshman is definitely not ordinary and is not as simple as "having met once"!

"No need to remind me."

Tang Shan shook his head, but did not explain further.

Dugu Yan was overjoyed: So they had only met once after all?

But then she became suspicious. If they had only met once, why did Gu Yue take the initiative to greet her?

"Excuse me, let me pass!"

A clear voice came from behind the group of students gathered around the arena and spread outwards.

"The teacher is coming, make way, the fight is about to start."

"So it's Teacher Qin Ming. I heard that Teacher Qin Ming is not far from becoming a Soul Emperor and will soon become a Heaven Dou-level teacher."

"Not only that, I heard that Teacher Qin Ming also proposed some kind of field practice plan to the three education commissioners. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Whether it's real or fake, I don't want to do real combat."

Qin Ming weaved through the throng of students and finally reached the edge of the arena. He glanced back at the surging crowd, feeling somewhat helpless.

Yu Tianheng and Xie Fei are both prominent figures at the Tiandou Royal Academy. One is incredibly strong, while the other specializes in unorthodox methods. He devised various ways to evade training and combat classes, making him a true "talent."

This new student is truly remarkable, handpicked by three education commissioners. One can only say that the ensuing competition is sure to be incredibly exciting.

He leaped onto the ring, his gaze sweeping over the three people on either side, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you made up your minds?"

Gu Yue nodded casually, while Yu Tianheng's expression was solemn and his voice was calm: "Teacher, you once said that 'those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.' Now that we have stepped onto the stage, what is there to fear?"

Tangshan, standing below the ring: ?!

No, we just pulled you out of Yu Xiaogang's "poisoning" a few years ago, and now you seem to be "poisoned" by Shrek's ideology. Is there something unclean stuck to you? Why do these bizarre ideas keep hitting you?

As expected, Qin Ming was a good teacher with outstanding theoretical abilities, but that didn't change the fact that he was a Shrek student.

"Then you can begin. The rules are the same as in regular practice classes: go all out and don't hold back. Old Han will step in at the crucial moment."

Qin Ming gave Yu Tianheng an approving look, offered a word of advice, and then turned and jumped off the stage.

With his martial soul being a golden rope, Elder Han swayed over to Qin Ming's side with his hands behind his back, saying, "Our academy is truly thriving!"

Qin Ming glanced at the three people on the stage, then turned to look at Tang Shan in the crowd, and sighed, "I never expected that the academy would receive so many prodigies in the past few years. Especially Gu Yue, a Soul Master at the age of ten, what an outrageous talent."

"She and Tang Shan, one of them will definitely break the record for the youngest Title Douluo in the Haotian Douluo series."

"By the way, what's the application process for going out for actual combat?"

Old Han suddenly remembered something and became curious.
