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

Gu Yue, who remained silent throughout and simply strolled around Tangshan, gave an extremely sharp evaluation.

Upon hearing this, Xie Fei's face flushed red, his blood boiling, and he forcefully argued that "this is not shamelessness, but confidence; the reason my defense is weak is because I still possess considerable offensive power," and so on, filling the air with a joyful atmosphere.

"Then we'll go with you, but not near the ring. We'll just keep an eye on things from the shadows."

Tangshan made the final decision.

"it is good."

Dugu Yan was the first to agree, while Gu Yue remained silent, continuing to wander around Tang Shan.

Ye Lingling hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yu Tianheng, clearly hoping that he would make the decision.

A complex look flashed across Yu Tianheng's eyes before he looked at Dugu Yan and said, "It seems there are some things going on in my family. Dugu Yan, could you please take care of Lingling for me?"

Ye Lingling tightened her grip on Yu Tianheng's hand, and Yu Tianheng's large hand returned the grip, soothing her tense emotions. Then, he looked at Dugu Yan with a pleading gaze.

Dugu Yan frowned slightly: "What could the family possibly have that would make you go back now? Large families like yours with so many people are just a nuisance." With that, Dugu Yan casually pulled Ye Lingling to her side and waved her hand, "You go ahead and do your thing."

"Fatty, I'm sorry."

Yu Tianheng patted Xie Fei on the shoulder, then greeted Tang Shan and the others. Finally, he glanced at Tang Shan and Gu Yue, who was always by his side, before turning and leaving quickly.

"Ah, it's a pity, Brother Yu, he won't be able to witness my dashing figure."

Xie Fei's playful voice broke the somewhat stagnant atmosphere. He was quick-witted and vaguely sensed that something seemed off about the atmosphere just now.

Tang Shan was somewhat puzzled, completely baffled by Yu Tianheng's ambiguous glance as he left.

Dugu Yan's brows remained furrowed; she had no intention of letting the matter rest. She turned to Ye Lingling beside her and asked, "Lingling, did Yu Tianheng say what he was going to do?"

Xie Fei also stopped his playful demeanor and subconsciously pricked up his ears, clearly very curious about Yu Tianheng's sudden departure.

Ye Lingling was always taciturn, and her silence was different from Gu Yue's.

Gu Yue truly believed that she was the Silver Dragon King, and that ordinary humans like her were not worthy of speaking to her!

Ye Lingling, on the other hand, is simply aloof and introverted. The most anxious thing Tang Shan had ever heard her say was when she rushed over today after seeing Yu Tianheng injured.

"Let's go to the playground first." Ye Lingling's voice was still calm and even, but her eyes were a little vacant and empty. She said lightly, "If we go too late, it will be even harder to get a spot on the preliminary team. Besides, we don't know the selection rules yet."

Having said all that, the others had no choice but to follow her toward the playground.

They had only taken a few steps when Ye Lingling suddenly spoke, her words startling Dugu Yan and Xie Fei: "Yan Yan, do you know that the Tianheng family arranged for him to come to the academy in order to get in touch with you, to arrange a marriage between you, and to bring your grandfather into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Tang Shan had already guessed a thing or two based on the information in the original work, so he wasn't surprised; as for Gu Yue, she was still looking around curiously, and most likely didn't take Ye Lingling's words to heart.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan instinctively looked up at Tang Shan. Seeing that his expression had not changed, a sense of disappointment inexplicably swept through her heart. However, she still put Yu Tianheng's matter first: "Lingling, don't worry, I don't like Yu Tianheng at all, and I promise I won't compete with you for him."

She quickly comforted him, and then listed a bunch of Yu Tianheng's shortcomings on her fingers, such as being too attractive and making him insecure, having low emotional intelligence, and being obsessed with cultivation all day long...

At first, Tangshan listened with great interest, but as he listened, he felt that these words were inexplicably familiar, and he even felt a little uneasy.

"Yanyan, this is not your business," Ye Lingling said softly. "Tianheng told me about this himself, and he made it clear that he would not pursue you to avoid causing you any trouble."

Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but then became curious again: "Then what happened today? Could it be that his family didn't agree? That doesn't make sense either. Your martial soul is Nine Heart Begonia, and you come from the Nine Heart Begonia Ye family. Even if it's not a perfect match, it's definitely not a case of climbing the social ladder."

If his family really wanted to find someone of equal social standing, they would either want a direct descendant like me, a Title Douluo, or a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or the Clear Sky School, or a Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. They wouldn't have such an outrageous idea, would they?

I'm not familiar with the Haotian Sect, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does have a suitable match, but he's not even four years old yet. Surely his family wouldn't arrange such a betrothal for a child."

Tang Shan, who was watching from the sidelines, was dumbfounded. Dugu Yan's analysis made it seem like Yu Tianheng was destined to be single forever. Even Gu Yue, who had been indifferent to what was happening around her, raised her eyes and looked at Ye Lingling with curiosity.

Ye Lingling glanced at Dugu Yan speechlessly, her voice clear but tinged with confusion: "Yan Yan, your imagination is too vivid."

Dugu Yan was taken aback: "Isn't that the reason?"

Ye Lingling's eyes dimmed again, and she said softly, "Of course not. Or rather, the change started today. His family probably doesn't know about us yet. The person who has changed is mainly himself."

Everyone became increasingly curious about what could have caused Yu Tianheng's mind to change so drastically in a single day.

Ye Lingling looked at Gu Yue and gave a soft warning, but her expression was still a bit stiff, as she was usually taciturn: "Gu Yue, I'm not targeting you, nor do I dislike you. I just want to talk about what I saw today."

These words sound like they were specifically directed at Gu Yue.

Fortunately, Tang Shan and the others understood Ye Lingling's personality and naturally understood what she meant; Gu Yue didn't care at all, and just gave a light "oh" to indicate that she knew.

“After Tianheng lost to you today, he’s been distracted.” Ye Lingling looked at Gu Yue and said slowly, “I noticed this after I treated his injuries. He kept touching the place on his waist where he was injured before, with his eyes closed, as if he was sensing something. During lunch, he kept glancing at you, intentionally or unintentionally.”

As soon as Ye Lingling finished speaking, the scene fell into a brief silence. Everyone looked at each other with strange expressions, and finally all eyes subconsciously fell on Gu Yue.

Gu Yue stared with her big, dark eyes, her face full of innocence and bewilderment. She couldn't understand how she had been enjoying the melon so much, only to end up eating it herself.

"Touching the injured area with your eyes closed and feeling it...that does seem a bit perverted, huh?"

Xie Fei wanted to help Yu Tianheng salvage his reputation, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find any rebuttal and could only manage to utter this dry sentence.

"Anyway, it has little to do with me."

Gu Yue's voice was calm, her tone full of confidence. Didn't she know whether she had tampered with that human or not? If she were to do something, it would only be to Tang Shan. The little bit of diluted Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus bloodline in that person wasn't even worth a second glance.

P.S.: Here's a clarification. It's not to create unnecessary conflict, but rather to explain that Yu Tianheng's bloodline is affected by the Silver Dragon King's aura. As readers have likely noticed, Gu Yue's martial soul is directly the Silver Dragon, not some elementalist. Even a pirated bloodline of level 50 can be affected, so the genuine Silver Dragon King's influence is certainly present. Finally, we currently have 606 monthly votes.

Chapter 200 The Speculated Truth, Returning to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex

"So, you mean Yu Tianheng has been distracted ever since he lost to Gu Yue today?"

Dugu Yan summarized, and Ye Lingling nodded slightly, indicating that what the other party said was correct.

Dugu Yan frowned, pondered for a moment, and then turned her gaze to Xie Fei: "Fatty, you lost today too, don't you feel anything else?"

Xie Fei was taken aback by the question: "Losing is normal, what's there to feel?"

Seemingly sensing the curious gaze from Gu Yue, he straightened his expression and said, "If I had to describe my feelings, it would be admiration and respect. I have immense respect for Boss Gu Yue's talent...blah blah blah."

Hearing the rest of the conversation turn into pure flattery, Dugu Yan's face darkened. "Alright, no need to ask anymore," she thought. "He probably doesn't feel anything else. This fat guy's shameless style is just as it always is."

"Could it be a problem with the martial soul?"

After observing the situation for a while, Tang Shan, combining the information and behavior from earlier, roughly understood the situation. Based on the events during the third stage of the Warring States period, he concluded that Yu Tianheng, like Tang Wulin's classmate, had been affected by the Dragon King's aura.

After all, even Tang Wulin's inferior, incomplete Golden Dragon King bloodline could affect other people's martial souls, let alone Gu Yue's complete version.

It must be the influence of his bloodline that made Yu Tianheng so distracted and unable to eat or drink. It's not hard to understand why he was staring at Gu Yue. As the number one beast spirit in the world, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was suddenly faced with a True Dragon spirit that could not only enhance dragon spirits but also suppress them. It was inevitable that his mind would be disturbed.

Tang Shan still remembered that after leaving the playground, Gu Yue deliberately used the Silver Dragon King's aura to give Yu Tianheng a warning. However, only he knew the Silver Dragon King's identity, and he absolutely could not directly tell Gu Yue that it was her bloodline that affected Yu Tianheng, otherwise it was hard to say whether others would be in trouble, and he himself would most likely be surrounded by the powerful beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

He could only slowly guide the crowd.

"The problem is with the Martial Soul?" Upon hearing this, everyone was clearly puzzled.

"Gu Yue, what is your martial soul?"

Tang Shan turned his gaze to Gu Yue and asked.

Gu Yue blinked her clear eyes: "It's a silver dragon."

"Then I should know what's going on."

Facing the curious gazes of the crowd, Tang Shan cleared his throat, reviewed the words he had made up in his mind, and only after confirming that they did not involve any deities on the surface did he slowly speak.

"Legend has it that the dragon race is an extremely powerful race with unparalleled strength."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yue nodded slightly, a hint of arrogance flashing in her eyes, clearly indicating her agreement. However, everyone's attention was focused on Tang Shan at that moment, and no one noticed her subtle gesture.

"The dragon race has nine dragon kings, and in addition to these nine dragon kings, there are two dragon kings who are above them, namely the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King."

"I understand!" Dugu Yan suddenly replied, "Yu Tianheng's bloodline should originate from the Nine Dragon Kings, or rather, he is of the same race as the Nine Dragon Kings. Theoretically, he should be a top-tier dragon martial soul on the continent. However, no one expected that he would encounter a higher-ranking Silver Dragon martial soul owner. Given the difference in bloodline level, it is inevitable that his martial soul would be suppressed. It is normal for the dignified Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon to feel uneasy under such suppression."

Tang Shan was very satisfied. This was the advantage of speaking only briefly; he only needed to give an outline, and others would fill in the rest. Dugu Yan's guess was pretty accurate, except that Yu Tianheng had not encountered a member of the Silver Dragon King's clan, but the Silver Dragon King himself.

"Gu Yue, what do you think?"

Tang Shan looked at Gu Yue again. It was best to consult the great Dragon King about such matters concerning the Dragon Clan.

Gu Yue's long eyelashes trembled slightly. She had just recalled that there was indeed a concept of bloodline suppression among dragons, but that only occurred when there was a significant difference in bloodlines. As for her, the Silver Dragon King, suppressing a Dragon King of the same level, it was impossible. However, after hearing Dugu Yan's explanation, she felt that this explanation didn't seem to have any problems. In any case, it was impossible to find another human on the entire continent with a Silver Dragon or Golden Dragon Martial Soul. Let the misunderstanding be the misunderstanding.

With that thought in mind, Gu Yue lowered her eyes, a hint of reserve on her face, and nodded gently: "That might indeed be the case."

In this way, the reason for Yu Tianheng's strange expression today finally had a reasonable explanation. Just as everyone's doubts were resolved, Ye Lingling's soft question left everyone speechless.

"Why did Tianheng say that there was something going on with the family and suddenly leave?"

Xie Fei scratched his head, his face full of confusion, also feeling that something was amiss. Fortunately, it was Dugu Yan, who was also a member of a top family, who provided the crucial explanation.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has a tradition of intermarriage, which is to have offspring with higher talent by marrying other Soul Masters who also possess dragon-type Martial Souls."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's eyes instantly went completely vacant, while Xie Fei's mouth gaped open, his mind replaying Yu Tianheng's previous instructions. He couldn't help but mentally complain: Good heavens, Master Yu, you wouldn't let me get involved between Dugu Yan and Gu Yue before, but now you've gone straight for one of them. Who's being so meddlesome? Who wants to get themselves involved?

"It's also possible that after learning about Gu Yue's special bloodline and martial soul, he went back to discuss it with his family elders, hoping that the family wouldn't interfere." Seeing Ye Lingling's distraught appearance, Tang Shan gently comforted her, "Don't forget, Gu Yue isn't an ordinary, exceptionally talented dragon-type soul master; he also has elders behind him. As for whether he went back for Gu Yue or for Ye Lingling, that's hard to say."

After all, he, an ordinary little soul master, really didn't understand the intricacies of large families. However, from Qian Xunji's "Secret Chamber Douluo" approach and Qian Daoliu's choice to stand by and watch, it was clear that family inheritance had always been very important among top forces.

The matter was now settled. Dugu Yan sat beside Ye Lingling and gently comforted her, hoping she could think things through. Xie Fei, on the other hand, was still inwardly criticizing Yu Tianheng for being so outrageous. He had advised others not to take sides over Tang Shan's two confidantes, but he himself wanted to snatch one of them away.

As for Tang Shan and Gu Yue, neither of them took the matter to heart. Tang Shan didn't take the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's potential actions seriously at all. If they dared to confront Gu Yue, they would probably be wiped out the very next day. If Gu Yue was in a good mood, she might even let them choose the ferocious beast to exterminate their clan. Would they prefer the Hell Demon Dragon King or the Beast God Di Tian, ​​both of whom were dragons, or the non-dragon Three-Headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, the Emerald Swan, or the Ten Thousand Demon King? If all else failed, a large number of 100,000-year-old soul beasts could also be used to wipe out the entire clan.

Gu Yue merely glanced indifferently in the direction Yu Tianheng had left, a barely perceptible indifference flashing across her eyes. She lost interest in paying attention and instead turned her curious gaze to the training ground not far away, where a dense crowd of students had gathered.

……

A luxurious carriage sped along the mountain road. The huge carriage was inlaid with a blue-purple dragon head pattern. The dragon pattern was twisted and fierce, exuding a domineering majesty that made it particularly eye-catching in the vast mountain road.

Inside the carriage, Yu Tianheng sat back in a large, soft chair, his eyes slightly closed. His fingers unconsciously tapped the armrests of the chair, the light tapping sound particularly clear in the silence. No one knew what he was thinking. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with indescribable weariness and restlessness.

"How much longer until we reach the sect?"

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and with a barely perceptible hoarseness in his voice, he asked the driver in a loud voice.

"Young Master, we'll be there soon."

The driver's respectful voice came from ahead. Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng remained silent, gazing blankly at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, lost in thought.

Seven days have passed since he left the academy that day. After leaving the group in Tangshan, he immediately went to the academic affairs office to ask for leave, and then rushed towards his family without stopping for a moment.

His left hand unconsciously tightened around the armrest of the chair, his fingertips digging deep into the wood grain, as he silently prayed that everything would go smoothly this time.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage slowed down and finally came to a steady stop, clearly indicating that they had arrived at their destination.

Yu Tianheng let out another long sigh, two beautiful figures flashing uncontrollably through his mind, his thoughts becoming quietly chaotic.

He forcefully shook his head, shaking off his wandering thoughts, and Yu Tianheng pushed open the car door and got out.

Before your eyes stretches a majestic, undulating mountain range, its massive, rock-solid form piercing the sky. Dark, inky clouds hang low over the mountains, shrouding the entire territory of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, obscuring all light.

Lightning streaked across the clouds, and occasionally a brilliant bolt of lightning would pierce the darkness with a deafening roar, the sound echoing through the valleys, exuding a terrifying pressure.

Luxurious and majestic buildings are scattered across the mountain range, built against the mountainside. The eaves and corners are engraved with lightning patterns, and faint light flows through them. However, against the backdrop of dark clouds and thunder, they exude a cold and lonely desolation, lacking human warmth and gaining a sense of eeriness.
