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

But Ye Lingling gave him no chance to conceal it, and acted decisively. Two yellow spirit rings slowly rose from beneath her feet, and began to flicker slightly the moment they appeared.

A delicate nine-heart begonia quietly appeared in her palm, and a rich white healing aura instantly bloomed, enveloping Yu Tianheng.

"Sister Lingling, me too, I'm injured too."

Xie Fei's weak voice came from the side. He was clutching his arm and looking at Ye Lingling with pleading eyes.

Ye Lingling glanced at him, said nothing, and casually waved her hand, sending a similar healing aura onto Xie Fei.

Seeing that Yu Tianheng's wounds were healing at a visible speed, Ye Lingling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then she turned to Dugu Yan, her tone tinged with apology: "Yan Yan, I'm sorry about earlier, I..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

Chapter 195 Gu Yue's Appetite, Searching for the Chosen One of the Planes (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Dugu Yan was already quite adept at explaining the changes in her appearance; it was simply due to the improved aptitude after consuming rare and precious herbs, which led to the transformation of her martial soul.

Soon, Yu Tianheng, Xie Fei, and Ye Lingling naturally accepted the fact that Dugu Yan's appearance was becoming more and more stunning.

Just as they were chatting, Tang Shan suddenly felt a gentle tug on his sleeve. Looking down, he saw Gu Yue demurely wiping her mouth, then looking up at him: "This is my first time at school, I don't know where the cafeteria is?"

Tangshan: It really is you, foodie Long!

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go have lunch first," Tang Shan interrupted their conversation and suggested.

Yu Tianheng was taken aback—this was far too early; it was still some time before noon.

"Okay, okay, I'm a little hungry too." Xie Fei rubbed his round belly and readily agreed.

Since Xie Fei had said so, Yu Tianheng swallowed back the doubts that were on the tip of his tongue.

"By the way, what good food is there in the cafeteria?" Gu Yue immediately leaned closer to Tang Shan, her head almost touching his ear, and asked in a low voice, her bright eyes full of undisguised anticipation.

Dugu Yan, who had just finished chatting with Ye Lingling, turned around and stumbled upon this scene: Gu Yue was leaning against Tang Shan, whispering in his ear, the two so close they were almost touching. Dugu Yan's anger flared instantly. She strode forward, pulled Gu Yue away from Tang Shan, and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"

Gu Yue looked completely innocent. She had only asked about food, so why did this person suddenly grab her? It was utterly baffling.

"I didn't do anything." Her answer was confident and self-assured. It was just asking about the food in the cafeteria; surely that couldn't have violated any taboos in the human world?

Seeing Gu Yue staring at her with wide, clear eyes and a blank, innocent expression, Dugu Yan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her surging anger. She gritted her teeth inwardly: What a brilliant tactic! She's already practically shoved Tang Shan into her arms, yet she can still feign this innocent, naive act. She's definitely a formidable enemy after Tang Shan!

"It's alright, Gu Yue. You're a freshman, so feel free to ask me anything you don't understand." Dugu Yan forced a smile, but her eyes held a cold glint—as long as she could bring Gu Yue to her side and reduce her chances of contacting Tang Shan, she'd see how she could still pester him!

Gu Yue was completely unaware of her thoughts. Upon hearing this, she immediately nodded and blurted out, "What good food is there in the cafeteria?"

This question completely baffled Dugu Yan. In her view, going to the cafeteria was all about getting the boost from soul beast meat for cultivation, right? Who cared whether it tasted good or not?

Seeing that Dugu Yan was stammering and unable to answer, Gu Yue was too lazy to wait any longer. With a flash of silver light, she instantly returned to Tang Shan's side and continued to ask about the menu of the Tian Dou Royal Academy's cafeteria.

Tang Shan didn't know why Dugu Yan suddenly pulled Gu Yue away, and seeing that the two had talked peacefully, he didn't ask any further questions. After all, as long as they didn't do anything out of line, Gu Yue was just Gu Yue, and most of the time, she wouldn't reveal the true form of the Silver Dragon King.

As the silver light settled, a familiar scent enveloped him once more. Tang Shan met Gu Yue's eyes, which were like black pearls, and heard her clear voice continue, "Where were we? Are the prices different at each window?"

……

Yu Tianheng finally understood why Gu Yue was so powerful when they fought on the stage earlier—it turned out to be because she could eat a lot!

On the dining tables in the cafeteria, the stacks of plates formed two small mountains, creating a particularly eye-catching spectacle in the hall.

The academy members had anticipated Tang Shan's enormous appetite, given his formidable strength, which would undoubtedly require a significant amount of energy. However, the sheer volume of food consumed by the newcomer, Gu Yue, still astonished everyone.

Today, Tangshan and his friends did not go to the school's special canteen, but instead chose to order food in the main dining hall. As a result, Gu Yue's amazing appetite was on full display in front of everyone.

This time, Gu Yue was not simulating cultivation, but truly switching to a new cultivation path. In addition, the Silver Dragon King's origin level was too heaven-defying, so in the early stages of cultivation, he could only consume a massive amount of resources.

Improving one's soul power is relatively easy, as one can draw upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth from anywhere. However, rebuilding the Silver Dragon King's powerful physique is not so simple—it requires a large amount of blood and qi to nourish and replenish the body, gradually reshaping the original form.

Although the Silver Dragon King is in charge of the elements, his physique is by no means weak. He is only slightly inferior to the Golden Dragon King, whose physique is the strongest, and the Mountain Dragon King, who has transformed into the continent.

But she was ultimately half of the Dragon God's original essence, and in terms of physique, she was undoubtedly superior to all the other Dragon Kings.

It is precisely because of this initial need for vital energy that she needs to eat a lot. Once her cultivation level improves and she is able to refine some of the original Silver Dragon King's essence, she will no longer need to eat so much.

Tang Shan had a rough idea of ​​this, but Yu Tianheng, Xie Fei, and Dugu Yan couldn't understand it at all.

"Gu Yue, how can you eat so much?" Dugu Yan, who regarded Gu Yue as a potential "love rival," stared in disbelief at the small mountain of plates piled on the dining table and asked.

"My martial soul is quite special, so eating more food can bring a lot of benefits to my body." Gu Yue replied casually, but her hands didn't stop moving at all. She quickly replaced the empty plate with a new one and ate with great relish.

It must be said that the benefits at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy are truly excellent. The cafeteria offers a wide variety of dishes, most of which are special ingredients beneficial to cultivation. The chefs are mostly food-type Soul Masters with superb skills. Each dish not only maximizes the effects of the ingredients but also tastes absolutely delicious, with perfect color, aroma, and flavor.

This delighted Gu Yue, who was filled with curiosity about human food, and she felt incredibly satisfied with her meal. As for Bi Ji's repeated warnings before she left, "Don't eat too much, a normal human's appetite is far less than Tang Shan's," she had long since forgotten about them.

In her view, her martial soul was special, so it was only reasonable for her to eat more, and according to Tangshan's standards, it was perfectly normal.

About fifteen minutes later, seeing Tang Shan put down his chopsticks, Gu Yue quickly finished off the remaining food in front of her.

Tang Shan looked at the empty plate in front of the girl beside him and asked, "Are you full?"

Gu Yue nodded, still maintaining her reserved demeanor.

Sitting opposite them, watching the two devour their food in a flash, Yu Tianheng and the others were dumbfounded, their minds filled with questions.

"Alright, let's go." Tang Shan waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Gu Yue was the quickest to react, immediately following behind Tang Shan and never leaving his side. Dugu Yan was so angry at the sight that she gritted her teeth. But she was also a little shy and couldn't bring herself to be as close to Tang Shan as Gu Yue was, so she could only follow on Tang Shan's right side, staring intently at Gu Yue's back.

"Yu..." Xie Fei was about to call Yu Tianheng to leave together when he turned around and saw that Yu Tianheng was already holding Ye Lingling's hand and slowly walking away. His face instantly fell: Seriously? You're all in pairs, leaving me to walk alone, that's so unfair!

……

As they walked out of the cafeteria along the campus path, Gu Yue suddenly spoke up, asking Tang Shan beside her, "Tang Shan, have you encountered any strange people in the academy?"

After eating and drinking his fill, the great Silver Dragon King finally remembered the real reason he had come to the human world: firstly, to use the unique transformation rules of the Douluo Continent to cultivate again and recover from his past injuries; secondly, to find and win over the chosen ones of the plane.

The auspicious beast had already informed her that the chosen one of the plane had been born. Based on her observations of many people whose destinies had been altered, this chosen one of the plane was most likely in the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Tang Shan's fate has been clearly altered, yet he doesn't possess the aura of a chosen one. Therefore, there is only one answer—the chosen one must be right beside him.

"A strange person?" Tang Shan was taken aback by the question and didn't react for a moment. "What kind of person is considered strange?"

Hearing Tang Shan's questioning tone, Gu Yue suddenly realized that she had been too vague.

“It’s like that…” Gu Yue pondered for a moment, recalling the experiences of several chosen ones from different planes that she had seen in the Dragon God’s inheritance. She gave some examples, and even made special adjustments to adapt them to the Douluo Continent. “For example, someone who was jilted but actually has extremely strong martial soul talent; or someone who initially had a useless martial soul but later inexplicably rose to prominence; or a soul master who gets external soul bones like they’re wholesale, buying several at a time.”

What Gu Yue said was originally an example from another dimension, but when it fell into Tang Shan's ears, every word pierced his heart.

He didn't know that Gu Yue was just giving examples casually. He felt that every word she said seemed to be pointing at him from afar—except for the one about being jilted, all the others matched up perfectly!

A seemingly useless martial soul rises to prominence? Wasn't his original martial soul initially considered useless by others? It was only through hard work and fortuitous encounters that he gradually rose to prominence.

Wholesale external soul bones? He currently possesses three external soul bones, each of exceptional quality: the Titan left palm bone, the Golden Behemoth right palm bone, and the Amethyst Power external soul bone. Any one of them would be enough to shake the entire soul master world.

Could it be... that Gu Yue is looking for me?

Tang Shan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt inexplicably panicked: What does she want with me? I haven't done anything out of line. Could it be that she has foreseen something?

Upon closer examination, Gu Yue was already a being at the level of a deity. Even though the existence of the divine realm prevented her from freely using her abilities, some of her divine instincts must still remain. Could it be that she glimpsed some future, or perhaps the auspicious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest sensed something?

It was just a simple question, but it made Tang Shan start to have all sorts of wild thoughts.

Even though Gu Yue looks like just a gluttonous little girl at this moment, it cannot be denied that she is a being of divine level.

In the original Douluo Continent novel, the abilities of the gods are not described in great detail, but Tang Shan has a certain judgment in his mind: the gods must possess a certain ability to foresee the future. Otherwise, how could the future Buddha's ten-thousand-year plan have been realized so smoothly step by step?

Chapter 196 The Power of the Gods, The Scheme of the Soul Core (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Although it is unknown when Tang San began his planning, it is highly likely that it started after the end of the Douluo Continent II era.

Its "grand plan" spans a timeline of nearly 20,000 years, and it is by no means easy to control it precisely, not to mention that there is a difference in the flow of time between the divine realm and the human realm, with one day in heaven being equal to one year on earth.

With such a huge gap, if every minute and every second were under Tang San's precise control, he would have no need to engage in any political struggles with the God of Destruction, nor would he need to scheme against Huo Yuhao and Rong Nianbing. He would have already swept through the God Realm with his own strength.

After all, to be able to accurately control the situation under such a drastic difference in the flow of time requires either an extremely terrifying level of computing power or truly astonishing wisdom, enabling one to predict the rise and fall of dynasties over thousands of years.

Judging from Tang San's strength and wisdom as depicted in the original novel, he clearly does not belong to either of these categories. Yet, the so-called grand plan for ten thousand years still proceeds smoothly, so the truth is obvious.

He must possess a certain ability to foresee the future, to lay the groundwork in advance, and to intervene only when the corresponding milestones are reached.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to maintain precise control over the Douluo Continent and ensure the smooth progress of his grand plan even when the God Realm was swept away by the spatial-temporal turbulence.

Getting back to the main point, since Tang San in the original story possessed this special ability, it's not surprising that Gu Yue also has it now.

At this moment, Tang Shan seriously suspected that he might have caused great harm to the soul beasts in the future. Gu Yue had a premonition and came to him to nip him in the bud.

Although he was a little flustered inside, Tang Shan remained outwardly calm. He thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "I've never heard of such a person. Besides, even if someone has an external soul bone, they probably wouldn't actively reveal it, right? After all, although it's true that once perfectly fused, it can't be obtained again, there will always be people who take the risk, betting on the possibility of not being able to perfectly fuse."

Gu Yue frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that what Tang Shan said was indeed true. She couldn't help but show regret: "Okay, thank you."

Seeing that Gu Yue didn't ask any further questions, Tang Shan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and managed to get away with it.

However, Tang Shan was also puzzled as to how he had managed to provoke a spirit beast. Logically speaking, he wasn't the kind of person who would indiscriminately slaughter spirit beasts, and he certainly shouldn't have actively provoked Gu Yue knowing of her existence. It was truly perplexing.

As for whether Gu Yue was looking for someone other than himself, Tang Shan hadn't even considered that—what a joke! Multiple external soul bones, and a useless martial soul at that—it's impossible for anyone else to have that ability, right? Moreover, the other party's purpose was very clear; they were asking about the school, which meant that the other party had most likely already narrowed down the search area. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is only so big; how could Tang Shan not know if there were any geniuses there? How could there possibly be anyone with the same configuration as him?

"Tangshan, Teacher Qin Ming wants to see you about something."

Xu Siyue, dressed in a white Tianwei-level teacher's uniform, walked from afar. Her robust figure stretched the uniform taut, as if it would burst at any moment.

Tang Shan was taken aback and stopped walking. Gu Yue, who was beside him, also stopped.

"Teacher Qin Ming is looking for me?" Tang Shan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Xu Siyue nodded, then glanced at Gu Yue and Dugu Yan beside Tang Shan, Yu Tianheng and Ye Lingling holding hands behind them, and Xie Fei alone at the back. A satisfied smile appeared on her face: "It's good that you're all here. Teacher Qin Ming asked me to call you all. Since you're all together, it saves trouble. Let's go. Not only is Teacher Qin Ming here, but the other three members of the Education Committee are also waiting for you."

The group, who had initially been somewhat curious, changed their expressions upon hearing that the three Soul Douluo instructors were also waiting for them, and subconsciously quickened their pace.

"What do the three education commissioners want with us?" Tang Shan remained unhurried, but with each step he took, his figure covered five or six meters with the force of his movements, making him appear relaxed and at ease as he followed the jogging group.

"I'm not sure either, but it must be a big deal. I saw many students at the Heavenly Battle level being called over," Xu Siyue said, shaking her head.

Gu Yue completely ignored Xu Siyue's words and didn't take the three education committee members to heart. Her clear eyes were full of inquiry as she watched Tang Shan's steps. He clearly didn't use any soul power, nor did he show any obvious exertion in his arms and legs. How could he take a step five or six meters away and walk so calmly?

Unable to suppress her curiosity, Gu Yue secretly tried to imitate Tang Shan by tiptoeing and lightly touching the ground. However, her foot slipped and she slid a short distance before coming to a stop.

She quickly enveloped herself in a wind elemental aura and hurried after the departing crowd.

"How did you do that?" Gu Yue, who had caught up again, looked up at Tang Shan with her little face full of curiosity and asked.

"That's a soul skill created by Teacher Tang Shan himself, and it can't be taught to others casually." Before Tang Shan could speak, Dugu Yan on his other side had already answered for him.

"It's nothing, are you curious?" Tang Shan smiled at Dugu Yan, then turned to Gu Yue and asked in return.

Gu Yue nodded.

"Do you want to learn?" Tang Shan continued to ask.
