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

"That one."

Qian Renxue hesitated, then suddenly got stuck.

"Xiaoxue, what's wrong?"

Qian Daoliu was somewhat puzzled.

"That's right, I told Tangshan about the forces behind me."

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth and told the story.

Qian Daoliu frowned: "He knows you're a girl. Has he been trying to do anything wrong to you? Should Grandpa fly over and teach that brat a lesson?"

The eavesdroppers, who were openly listening from the sidelines, were bewildered.

Someone's got their eye on the granddaughter of the old man in our ancestral hall?!

Even if your teacher is a master and you yourself are exceptionally talented, that's no excuse for you to do this, you little brat.

"That's not it."

Qian Renxue blushed, realizing that her words had caused her grandfather to misunderstand, and quickly explained the whole story to Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu was incredibly shrewd. Like Golden Crocodile Douluo, he immediately noticed the flaw in Qian Renxue's introduction of her backing. He was also certain that Tang Shan could also spot this flaw.

Since that kid didn't expose her, it means he tacitly agreed with Xiaoxue's words.

With his mind racing, Qian Daoliu decided not to tell Qian Renxue about this. Since Tang Shan pretended not to have thought of it, what was wrong with these old men keeping quiet?

Chapter 206 Surging Killing Intent and Corruption, the Silver Dragon King Who Has Never Fighted

"This is the right thing to do. It's a good opportunity to test Tangshan's attitude and prevent him from having any other ulterior motives. Xiaoxue, you did a great job."

Qian Daoliu's words came from the pendant, making Qian Renxue's ears turn red. She couldn't very well say that she deliberately exposed herself because she was afraid that the Pope would win Tang Shan over after he went to Wuhun City.

"Ahem, Grandpa, Tang Shan will be coming back to Wuhun City with me this time. He's going to watch the competition, so Grandpa, I hope you can keep an eye on that woman for me during our time in Wuhun City."

She was initially a little shy, but as she continued speaking, Qian Renxue's voice gradually became calm and indifferent: "Don't let her have any chance to contact Tangshan."

Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Xiaoxue, don't worry, Grandpa will take good care of her."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Next, Qian Daoliu finally released the angel pendant, allowing the other worshippers to communicate with Qian Renxue for a few moments before canceling the call.

In front of the angel statue, Qian Daoliu canceled the call, and the impatient Lion Douluo hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what's going on in Tangshan?"

Qian Daoliu gently shook his head: "You don't need to worry about this matter; it's Xiaoxue's own choice."

Seeing that Guangling Douluo was about to speak, Qian Daoliu raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't forget, the Second Elder is still with those two children. Since the Second Elder didn't stop it, it means he has tacitly approved it."

When Qian Daoliu brought up the title of Second Elder, the other Elders had nothing more to say.

They could address the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu as their elder brother, but they only felt awe towards the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo. This awe reached a new peak after Golden Crocodile Douluo became a level 99 Peerless Douluo. How could they not be in awe of him, given his immense strength and seniority?

"Remember, we are just a small force within the Spirit Hall, and have absolutely no connection with the Hall of Offerings."

Recalling his granddaughter's introduction of Tangshan to them, Qian Daoliu's expression became somewhat strained, but for his granddaughter's sake, he still had to keep up the act.

"We are not some kind of temple of worship, but a small group of Spirit Hall forces that are dissatisfied with the current Pope and are hiding in the dark. Our goal is to overthrow the Pope and let a more suitable Pope sit in the final position."

Qian Daoliu, a level 99 peerless Douluo, solemnly gave this advice.

Two level 97 Title Douluos and three level 96 Title Douluos below the stage nodded in agreement at the same time: "That's right, we are a small force of the Spirit Hall."

……

The faint golden light receded, and the angel pendant returned to its ordinary state.

After putting the pendant back around her neck, Qian Renxue took a deep breath and returned to her room.

On the table was a neatly arranged disc of documents. Qian Renxue pulled out a chair, sat down, and examined it carefully. The disc contained a dense record of a person's life trajectory.

Yu Xiaogang went to the Spirit Hall to collect gold spirit coins, and then returned to Notting Academy, where he entered his room and remained inside.

Yu Xiaogang had a dispute with his teacher, ordering students who were hitting a bottleneck to absorb a soul ring that was not compatible with them. The students insisted on the teacher's guidance, and the class ended on bad terms. Yu Xiaogang left in a huff and stayed indoors.

Yu Xiaogang researched the five core competencies of martial spirits and intended to report to the Spirit Hall. However, his research contained a large amount of plagiarized content and was rejected. He angrily rebuked the Spirit Hall and left.

……

Each item and every detail meticulously recorded Yu Xiaogang's daily life, leaving no room for error.

Qian Renxue looked at the documents in front of her with a cold gaze, a hint of mockery on her lips.

"Is this your first love? I thought he might be something special, but he's just a clown who only knows how to plagiarize."

Fair fingers gently traced the three characters "Yu Xiaogang," and a wisp of brilliant golden flame suddenly appeared at the fingertip, instantly burning the three characters to ashes.

A chilling killing intent surged and roared in her eyes like turbulent waves of ink, almost bursting forth from the shackles beneath them. But thinking of Tang Shan, Qian Renxue forcefully suppressed that ferocity, the golden flames at her fingertips trembling slightly from this forced restraint. "Soon, very soon. A three-ring Soul Saint, four-ring, five-ring... When he becomes a Soul Saint? When he has the power to protect himself, I'll send him down."

In his originally pure and holy golden eyes, the rich golden light was now entwined with wisps of black energy, like ink threads wrapped around gold patterns. This subtly tainted the innate sacred flame with a touch of corrosive depravity, and even added a hint of gloomy evil to his aura.

"And also, Master, Tangshan..."

Qian Renxue sat at the table, her eyes glazed over, her thoughts drifting.

……

As dawn broke, a knock sounded on the courtyard gate, and three figures—one refined, one alluring, and one indifferent—stood at the entrance.

Xue Qinghe was dressed in a moon-white outfit, with a tall and slender figure, a face like jade, a warm smile on his lips, and gentle eyes. He was a handsome and elegant young man.

Beside her, Gu Yue, dressed in a green robe, had her dark hair tied in a high ponytail, the ends of which swayed gently in the breeze. Her exquisite figure was wrapped in simple clothing, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes held a childlike curiosity as she peeked into the courtyard, adding a touch of lively vitality to her originally serene temperament.

Dugu Yan's emerald green hair cascaded down naturally like a waterfall, making her skin appear even whiter than snow. Her black tight-fitting outfit outlined the girl's budding curves. Her eyebrows and eyes were alluring, yet the corners of her eyes held a hint of coldness. When her lips were slightly pursed, a blend of cold beauty and coquettish charm created a unique style.

If Tang Shan didn't know Xue Qinghe's true gender, seeing this scene, he would probably have suspected that some noble young master had brought his partner to visit.

Xue Qinghe wore a smile on her face, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings. Back then, when Tang Shan first moved into the Prince's Mansion, she would come here alone to do her morning exercises every day. Now, as time has changed, she is now the Crown Prince of Tiandou, and the Prince's Mansion has become the Crown Prince's Mansion. She never expected that the morning exercise opportunity that was originally hers alone would now be shared by three people.

"Come in."

Tang Shan took a curious look at the trio, and an uncontrollable thought rose in his mind: This should be the most amazing combination in the entire Douyi era. Apart from the two cat girls who were rumored to have borne fruit on a thin branch, no one should be able to compare with these three. It's just a bit of a pity.

Tang Shan glanced at Xue Qinghe and Gu Yue: one dressed as a man, the other pretending. He wondered when he would be able to see the true face of Miss Angel and understand the true value of the number one beauty in Douluo Continent.

Xue Qinghe touched his face in confusion, wondering why Tang Shan had suddenly glanced at him at the end. Gu Yue, on the other hand, had already walked a few steps to the table in the courtyard, her eyes subconsciously searching for him.

Tangshan: "Guyue, there's no food."

After hearing Tang Shan's words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Gu Yue's eyes. As for the embarrassment of having his little scheme exposed, I, the Silver Dragon King, don't have that kind of feeling.

"Let's begin."

Tang Shan put his hands behind his back and said calmly.

Without hesitation, Gu Yue, Dugu Yan, and Xue Qinghe simultaneously assumed their stances and began performing a series of internal martial arts routines.

Xue Qinghe's movements were like flowing clouds dancing with a sword, his figure graceful and swift. Every swing of his arm and turn of his body was swift and clean. His seemingly gentle moves concealed a cold glint, and his killing intent was hidden between the swaying of his sleeves and waist.

Dugu Yan moved like a nimble snake, her footsteps light and silent, her every move unpredictable, her palm strikes silent, and her fist strikes like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, carrying a sudden and ruthless edge.

Gu Yue's moves were wide and powerful, with his fists whistling through the air. His body rose and fell like a giant dragon soaring into the sky, and every punch and kick carried a powerful aura, as if he wanted to suppress the world with the might of a dragon.

Tangshan moved among the three women, occasionally pointing out subtle adjustments to their movements, making their exertion smoother.

After giving some simple pointers, Tang Shan observed the three people's progress in their cultivation. He could only say that the result was somewhat unexpected yet reasonable.

The one who has made the fastest progress and reached the highest level of cultivation is Gu Yue, who has now reached the Dark Force stage. This absurd speed of cultivation far surpasses that of Xue Qinghe.

This made Tang Shan realize a truth: the owner of a divine martial soul is still a human after all. No matter how high their talent is, they are unlikely to be as good as a reincarnation of a first-level god or even a god-king.

Even if this deity who has undergone the transformation may have had no combat experience or background before.

As for why Tangshan is so certain that Gu Yue is likely a "newbie dragon king" who has never fought since his birth?

That's a long story—Tang Shan wanted to tailor-make an internal martial arts style for the three of them, and asked Gu Yue to imitate a few dragon-like attack methods to get a feel for it. However, the Silver Dragon King tilted his head and said seriously that he didn't know much about it and had to go back and ask his family elders.

Tang Shan thought to himself, "Good heavens! So you're just a figurehead Dragon King? You even have to go back and ask your own dragons for advice on basic attack methods. Your true colors are laid bare. You're as if you're afraid people won't know you're a 'greenhouse Dragon King' who's never been on the battlefield."

After all, what real Silver Dragon King doesn't even know the basic moves of dragon pounce, tail swing, and breath attack?

When Gu Yue returned after wandering around for two days, confidently showing Tang Shan her "results from seeking advice," Tang Shan's guess was immediately proven wrong.

Those two moves were quite different. One was domineering and imposing, with the force of the fist like a black dragon pressing down from the abyss. The other was graceful and unpredictable, with the palm wind like a demonic dragon from hell devouring people. Both moves were ruthless and showed no mercy.

Tang Shan looked at the style of the moves and knew exactly what was going on: these weren't family elders at all, but rather the two ferocious beasts, Beast God Di Tian and Hell Demon Dragon King Zi Ji, bringing out their most treasured dragon moves for the sect leader.

Getting back to the main point, Gu Yue, who had undergone a retraining, had the highest talent in internal martial arts. In just two short months, she had already stepped into the realm of Dark Force, and Transforming Force was just a matter of time for her.

The second-ranked person is not Miss Angel, but Dugu Yan. The Nine Transformation Flower mainly changes the all-round martial soul essence and physical aptitude. In just a few months, with the physical aptitude that has been transformed again, Dugu Yan has almost caught up with Xue Qinghe and stepped into the Ming Jin realm.

As for Xue Qinghe, although the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower also has a certain effect on improving physical fitness, it is definitely far inferior to the Nine-Transformation Flower, since its core function is to purify flames.

Therefore, even though he cultivates day and night, Xue Qinghe is currently stuck at the peak of Ming Jin and is trying to break through to An Jin. He hopes to suddenly understand something through repeated cultivation, while also searching for his own inner insights.

P.S.: The plot these past few days has been more about foreshadowing and developing the relationships between the main characters and the female leads. It's also primarily laying the groundwork for Bibi Dong's ending. Of course, the story isn't even halfway through, so it won't end so quickly.

Chapter 207 Cultivation of Gang Jin, the bustling Heavenly Dou City

Half an hour later, the three slowly stopped their movements.

Tang Shan glanced at the progress of the three. Even Xue Qinghe, who cultivated the slowest, was cultivating at a speed far exceeding those of the original soul masters he had discovered before. It can only be said that there are differences between people, and generalizations cannot be made.

Compared to those Soul Masters who are only partially enlightened, Tang Shan prefers to teach Xue Qinghe, Gu Yue, and Dugu Yan. There's no way around it; the ease with which they grasp things is the best feedback for continuing to be a teacher.

Bang bang bang!

A gentle knock sounded, and before Tang Shan could even move, Xue Qinghe had already stepped forward to open the door.

Hmm, not bad, you have a strong sense of ownership.

At this time, the only ones likely to knock on Tangshan's door are the maids from the Prince's residence responsible for delivering meals.

As expected, as Xue Qinghe stepped aside, a series of maids filed in, and under Gu Yue's gleaming gaze, one delicacy after another was placed on the dining table in the courtyard.

The maids didn't linger and quickly left.

"Your Highness, these people seem quite honest."

Tang Shan couldn't help but tease her. He still clearly remembered that three years ago, when they were having breakfast in his courtyard, a maid beckoned to Xue Qinghe's palm as she was leaving, which was quite flirtatious.

Faced with Tang Shan's teasing, Xue Qinghe remained unfazed: "These people were carefully selected by me, so they naturally know the rules."

Gu Yue ignored Tang Shan's teasing of Xue Qinghe and sat down at the table quite consciously, clearly ready to eat to her heart's content.
