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

Gu Yue rested her delicate chin on her hand, glanced curiously at the two entangled figures, then at Xue Qinghe whose eyes were burning with golden flames, tilted her head in confusion, and twitched her ear tips slightly.

However, she quickly looked away, picked up a delicate rice cake, and swallowed it in one gulp. Her cheeks bulged slightly as she chewed it carefully, her eyes full of satisfaction.

"You should put away your martial spirit."

Tang Shan glanced down at the snake tail around his waist and the arm around his neck, and reminded him again.

Dugu Yan blinked her amethyst-like eyes and secretly glanced at Gu Yue, who was taking small bites of pastries. Seeing that the other party had no reaction at all, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"Oh!"

She responded softly, and the snake tail wrapped around her waist emitted a faint green light, slowly transforming into her fair legs. She deliberately used her calves to gently clamp Tang Shan's waist and abdomen, and with his help, she regained her footing.

"Your third soul skill is not bad. Petrification Light can control for one second, and at most it can control a Grand Soul Master for three seconds."

Tang Shan tore off his clothes, which were riddled with holes from the poisonous fog, and casually took out a new one from his soul tool to put on. As he buttoned the clothes, he analyzed the situation for Dugu Yan.

"After all, she is a five-thousand-year-old Medusa, so it's not bad for her to have this ability."

At this point, her cheerful mood immediately plummeted. She casually tossed her emerald-green hair and said listlessly, "But I couldn't even force out your most basic soul skill. Am I a little weak?"

After straightening his clothes and making sure they were neat, Tang Shan walked toward the pavilion where Gu Yue and Xue Qinghe were, saying as he walked, "Yan Yan, you're overthinking it. I used my inner strength to defeat you, which is no small feat."

"Isn't that just a method of using power?"

Dugu Yan's eyes were full of suspicion as she quickly followed beside him.

Tang Shan's lips twitched. So you've started practicing internal martial arts and still don't know what Dan Jin means?

"Achieving the Dan Jin (internal strength) is enough to be called a grandmaster in the cultivation of internal martial arts. Losing to a grandmaster is not unreasonable."

Seeing that Dugu Yan still looked puzzled, Tang Shan simply changed the metaphor.

"You lost to me, which is equivalent to losing to Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who possesses your current swordsmanship and combat experience, but whose physical attributes and soul power level are equal to yours. What do you have to be disappointed about now?"

Dugu Yan's amethyst-like eyes suddenly lit up, their brilliance returning as she quickly caught up with him: "Tang Shan, you didn't lie to me?"

"That's natural."

As he spoke, he walked into the pavilion, and in Gu Yue's suddenly widened pupils, he casually picked up a piece of pastry, threw it into his mouth, and slowly chewed it.

Seemingly sensing the incredulous gaze from the side, Tang Shan subconsciously turned around, only to meet Gu Yue's wide, furious eyes.

Tang Shan felt embarrassed. Looking down, he realized that he had taken the pastries from Gu Yue's plate. He had just been trying to snatch food from the mouth of a dragon king.

He coughed lightly, trying to brush it off, then turned his gaze to Xue Qinghe, only to fall silent instantly.

For some reason, he felt that Xue Qinghe's gaze towards Dugu Yan was filled with intense killing intent, and the golden flames in his eyes were burning even more fiercely, almost bursting out.

Tangshan?

He didn't say a word, silently sat down in his seat, wishing he could shrink himself into a ball and become completely invisible.

Chapter 205 The Limits of Unlocking Potential, Xue Qinghe's Phone Call

A brief silence fell over the pavilion, with only the sound of Gu Yue eating small snacks clearly audible.

Awooo... Awooo...

Finally, Tang Shan broke the silence first, looking at Xue Qinghe: "Your Highness, what did His Majesty say about your trip to Wuhun City?"

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath, barely calming his anger at seeing Dugu Yan and Tang Shan so close, and said calmly, "Father has approved my application. After the preliminary and qualifying rounds are over in the Empire, I will take the participating teams to Wuhun City to participate in the finals. You can come together then, and Teacher will also be there."

Tang Shan was somewhat surprised: "Sect Leader Ning is going too?"

Xue Qinghe nodded: "It is said that they want to see the true quality of the so-called golden generation, and also see if any outstanding geniuses have emerged in this competition."

Xue Qinghe didn't say what came next, but Tang Shan naturally understood. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's development model of recruiting geniuses and cultivating them into Guardian Douluo, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament was simply the perfect talent recruitment market for them. All the Soul Masters who could enter the finals would inevitably be among the most outstanding seeds of this era, and many of them would definitely have the potential to be awarded titles.

"Then I'll go with Your Highness."

Tang Shan said.

"I'll go too."

Gu Yue licked the cream off his lips and quickly agreed.

Xue Qinghe's lips twitched slightly, but he ultimately said nothing.

As for Dugu Yan, she was a contestant herself, so naturally she went with the participating team.

"By the way, Yan Yan, after you broke through to Soul Master, did you try using the Nine Transformation Flower again?"

Upon hearing Tang Shan's question, Dugu Yan was taken aback: "I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it." As she spoke, a seven-tiered flower tower appeared out of thin air in her hand.

With a flick of her jade-like fingers, she plucked a petal from the third tier of the flower tower with effortless ease.

"Tangshan, it can really be used again?"

Dugu Yan's eyes were bright and she was very excited. Although Tang Shan's speculation was highly likely, it was still just a guess and not reality. Now that she could use the Nine-Transformation Flower again, the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

"It's good that I can continue taking it. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of effects the Nine-Tailed Flower will have after I've used it all."

Dugu Yan naturally understood Tang Shan's underlying blessing—the Nine Transformation Flowers. Each Soul Master stage uses one layer, and to use all of them, she would inevitably have to reach the Title Douluo level and use all of the Nine Transformation Flowers. This was Tang Shan's best wishes for her future.

……

The night was as dark as ink, and the stars were completely obscured by thick, dark clouds. Only a cold moon hung in the sky, occasionally letting out a few rays of light through the gaps in the clouds before disappearing again.

The body's Qi and blood surged like boiling tides, swirling and condensing, compressing layer by layer into a lustrous elixir. The bones trembled slightly, and every inch of the meridians hummed. The hidden potential deep within the body was gradually drawn in and explored, flowing through the limbs and bones along with the Qi and blood.

Tang Shan sat cross-legged, his expression serene. Tiny specks of golden light rose on his skin, like fine gold dust flowing, before slowly gathering on the blurry gold and silver figure behind him.

The heart contracts steadily, acting as the core of the blood system, continuously delivering concentrated and abundant blood to every part of the body, reaching every extremity, like spring rain nourishing the soil, gradually moisturizing and strengthening the body's structure.

After a long while, the qi and blood that had condensed into a pill within the body dissipated again under exquisite control, transforming into warm air currents that continued to circulate endlessly.

Opening his eyes, Tang Shan exhaled a long breath, and a white chain shot out from his mouth, condensed into a pillar, like a thin sword.

His breath formed a sword, almost tangible, demonstrating just how terrifyingly powerful Tang Shan's internal organs were. However, even though his body had gradually become extraordinary, Tang Shan could still clearly perceive the immense potential hidden within his body.

Tang Shan was eager to see just how powerful he would become when he had fully unleashed his potential, knowing that he only needed to develop half of it to awaken a second time.

Of course, he also doubted whether he could fully develop his body's potential. Whenever he was about to reach the bottom, his soul power cultivation would often reach a bottleneck, and then he would absorb a soul ring before breaking through.

The essence of life is elevated, and potential is increased once again.

Perhaps only when I truly reach the title of Douluo will I be able to fully unleash the limits of my body's potential?

The thought flashed through Tang Shan's mind. He stood up, pricked up his ears, and amplified his hearing to the maximum, as the noise from the street rushed into his ears.

The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will begin next month, and spectators from other cities have already begun to gather in Tiandou City. Various advanced soul master academies have also arrived here in advance to warm up for the event.

During this period, Tiandou City was full of Soul Masters, all of whom possessed extraordinary power. Friction was inevitable, so Xue Qinghe was much busier than before, basically leaving early and returning late, without any of the comforts of being a prince.

Tangshan could only offer his blessings. He was good at fighting, but he really couldn't handle trivial matters.

I wonder if my older brother will come to this competition?

Thinking of Su Yuntao, Tang Shan's expression became somewhat strange again. With the Golden Crocodile Douluo as his master, and hunting souls and exploding soul bones when he goes out, no one would believe that he is not the chosen one of the plane.

Forget it, brother, you should just stay out there and have your fun, don't come back and cause trouble for us.

Recalling the many "trivial matters" that happened during the month that Su Yuntao stayed at the Crown Prince's residence after his return, Tang Shan forcibly interrupted his longing and silently thought to himself: I'd better wait until you, my elder brother, have achieved success and fulfilled your responsibilities as the chosen one of the world before you come back. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that my father and I, with our small bodies, won't be able to withstand the opponents you've attracted.

……

Under the same dark night sky, Xue Qinghe's long, golden hair was gently caressed by the night breeze, outlining her fair and jade-like profile, revealing her true face that had been concealed by her soul bone technique.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like starlight reflecting in the Milky Way, her nose was straight and elegant, and her lips were moist and lustrous. Her exquisite and holy aura was like that of a goddess descending from the heavens, untouched by the dust and grime of the mortal world.

She stood alone in her courtyard, gazing at the bright moon in the sky, lost in thought.

call!

With a light breath, Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, gently raised her jade hand, removed the angel necklace from her neck, examined it carefully for a moment, and slowly poured her soul power into it.

The night was quiet, no breeze was blowing, and all was still.

After a long while, the angel sculpture gently flapped its wings, and a cute golden light illuminated the darkness, making the passage constructed by the power of faith completely unobstructed.

"Xiaoxue, what's wrong?"

A gentle voice came from the angel pendant.

Spirit Hall, Hall of Offerings

Qian Daoliu's expression was gentle, and a pendant similar to Qian Renxue's floated in front of him as he asked softly.

Qian Renxue was silent for a while before saying, "Grandpa, I should go back in a while."

Qian Daoliu was overjoyed upon hearing this. Qian Renxue's return to the Spirit Hall meant that she had come to a change of heart and no longer wanted to continue the plan. That was good. She could return to focus on her cultivation and accept the Angel God Trial as soon as possible.

However, since we're coming back, some positions should be set up. Hopefully, that woman will be sensible; otherwise, we old folks can show her what the majesty of worship is.

A cold glint flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes, but his voice remained gentle.

“Xiaoxue, did someone bully you? Tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will teach him a lesson for you. But it’s good that you’re back. Your Grandpa Qianjun, Grandpa Jiangmo, Grandpa Qingluan, Grandpa Xiongshi, and Grandpa Guangling all miss you very much.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of old men who were idly sitting in the offering hall gathered around Qian Daoliu. They had obviously heard about Qian Renxue's news and were very interested in it.

Qian Renxue was taken aback: "Grandpa, I didn't say I was canceling the plan. It's just that the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin, and I will go to Wuhun City as the Crown Prince of Tiandou."

Sendou Ryu: ?!

Qian Daoliu, who had originally thought that his granddaughter could stay by his side for a long time, sighed silently, and the other worshippers were also somewhat disappointed.

"However, Grandpa, I'll have someone impersonate you tonight so I can go back and see you and the other grandfathers."

Qian Renxue's clear voice came from the pendant.

"Alright, alright. If you're really pressed for time and can't come back, that's fine too. If all else fails, a few of us old men will take turns staying at your Crown Prince's residence for a while."

Qian Daoliu said this.

The eyes of the several elders lit up, and their minds began to work. Why hadn't they thought of this method before? Although they were old men, they were not like ordinary old men. Traveling was a small matter for them. If all else failed, they could fly to the Crown Prince's residence. Why had they been like real lonely old men, waiting foolishly for Xiaoxue to return in the Hall of Worship?

“Great! When you gentlemen come, we will certainly treat you to a warm welcome.”

Qian Renxue was overjoyed and subconsciously tiptoed and jumped. Her slender legs lifted slightly, and with a flick of her toes, she kicked a small pebble at her feet. The pebble flew in a light arc and landed in the distance. Her voice was filled with excitement.

"Oh, right, Grandpa, there's one more thing."

"Xiaoxue, is there anything you want?"

Qian Daoliu's voice was gentle, full of doting affection.
