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

……

Thousands of meters in the sky, a pale gold and a jade-green streak of light streaked across the horizon side by side, leaving two long and bright trails.

Tang Shan was firmly enveloped by Xiong Jun's soul power, and no matter how fierce the external energy was, he was completely unaffected inside the barrier.

"Kid, the origin of the external soul bone on your right hand must be quite something, right?"

During the flight, Xiong Jun's voice suddenly rang in Tang Shan's ears.

Tang Shan's heart skipped a beat, wondering why the other party had suddenly brought this up.

He naturally didn't suspect that Xiong Jun coveted his external soul bone. After all, although Xiong Jun briefly took human form, he was still a soul beast at heart, and the soul bone was of no use to him at all.

His concern was whether Xiong Jun would suddenly become enraged and slap him away, since the external soul bone on his right hand came from the other party's ancient ancestor, the Behemoth.

"What do you mean, senior?"

Tang Shan, enveloped by the other party's soul power, asked warily.

Seemingly sensing Tang Shan's tension, Xiong Jun revealed a somewhat ferocious smile on his fleshy face: "Kid, don't worry, I have no other ill intentions. I'm just curious about the origin of that external soul bone. My martial soul is the Dark Gold Bear, and I feel that the aura on it is more powerful and ancient, and it is also vaguely related to my martial soul."

This is a damn Dark Gold Bear, it's clearly a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Tang Shan mentally complained while pondering how to respond. After a while, he decided to tell the truth.

“Senior Xiong Jun, my external soul bone comes from a golden Behemoth that is nearly ten thousand years old, and my third soul ring also comes from it.”

"I see."

Xiong Jun suddenly realized that he wasn't furious as Tang Shan had expected. Instead, he seemed to see the confusion in Tang Shan's eyes and began to explain.

It turns out that although the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has the bloodline of the Behemoth, it has already embarked on two different development paths.

The Golden Behemoth and other Behemoths are mostly characterized by their strength attributes, while the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has embarked on the path of pursuing the ultimate gold.

Both appear to possess formidable tearing claws and savage bodies, but the underlying reasons for maintaining these abilities are fundamentally different. As for bloodlines, other soul beast races do not have the same bloodline suppression capabilities as the dragon race. Moreover, hybrids can never gain the recognition of pure-blooded individuals, let alone respect; it would be good enough if they could avoid backlash.

“In fact, our family, who live in seclusion in the Star Dou Great Forest, has seen even more outrageous things.”

Seemingly feeling that he had explained too many of the mysteries of spirit beasts, Xiong Jun added a supplement and gave Tang Shan a very apt example.

"For example, the golden-haired lion-mastiff we're going to kill this time is the ancestor of lion and canine spirit beasts. I fought it once before and obtained one of its front legs. Then I brought that front leg back to the Star Dou Great Forest. Guess what?"

Tang Shan cooperated by showing a curious look.

"I found a canine soul beast, a three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff. Sensing the aura of the 'ancestor' in my hand, the creature was overjoyed and specially brought me my favorite thousand-year-old poisonous bee honey."

Xiong Jun wasn't joking at all. The Golden Lion Mastiff's ability to cause trouble was well-known. When he brought the other party's front leg back, the three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff, which had some of the Golden Lion Mastiff's bloodline, was indeed very happy. Although it didn't roast and eat the other party's front leg to celebrate like some other ferocious beasts, it still helped Xiong Jun find a lot of honey and sincerely thanked him.

Clearly, in the past, the three-headed red demon mastiffs were not treated as their own kind by the golden lion mastiffs. In fact, they may have been treated even more harshly because of the fact that they had some of the golden lion mastiffs' bloodline. After all, having some of their bloodline meant being even more powerful, and they had to be challenged.

Tang Shan listened to Xiong Jun's introduction with a somewhat strange expression. He could only sigh at how complicated the soul beast society was. At the same time, he gained a clear understanding of how stubborn the golden lion mastiff was. He couldn't help but worry that after absorbing the golden lion mastiff's soul ring, he might become just as stubborn and fearless as them.

……

Linhai City is one of the cities near the coast of the Tiandou Empire, and it is also the city closest to the island where the Golden Lion Mastiff is located.

Before the plane reached Linhai City, the group from Tangshan landed slowly, intending to walk into the city.

I hadn't noticed it while I was enveloped by soul power, but as soon as I stepped onto the seashore, a slightly salty and fishy smell filled my nostrils.

As you enter the city along the official road, you see that most of the people coming and going are dressed lightly, and their skin is generally a healthy wheat color, unlike the fair skin of people in the core area of ​​the Heavenly Dou Empire. This is probably because they are exposed to the wind and sun all year round.

Upon entering the city, Soul Masters made up a small percentage of the population. Among the people coming and going, Tang Shan only sensed the auras of five or six ordinary Soul Masters.

This is the number of Soul Masters a city should have, unlike Heaven Dou City, where even when it's not during the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, there are still many Soul Masters coming and going.

Whether it was Tang Shan's extraordinary handsome appearance, Bi Ji's gentle and charming beauty, Xiong Jun's tall and imposing figure of 2.4 meters, or the auspicious beast with golden fur in Gu Yue's arms, all of them made the group the focus of attention for passersby in Linhai City.

However, no one came up to provoke him without reason, because Xiong Jun had already revealed his terrifying aura. Even though it was a weakened version, it felt like a small mountain pressing down on him to others.

"At least at the Soul Saint level."

Many Soul Masters hidden in the crowd immediately made a judgment, their faces showing fear, and quietly retreated.

This is just an ordinary coastal city, not a major city like Tiandou City. It's hard to say whether there are even any Soul Saints in the entire city, let alone Xiong Jun and Bi Ji. Tang Shan alone could probably take down the entire coastal city.

Despite being stared at by all sorts of people, the group remained calm and found the most luxurious hotel to check into.

As for the cost of Gold Soul Coins, Tang Shan, as Xue Qinghe's subordinate, could easily say that "Gold Soul Coins are just a number to me."

As for Gu Yue and the others, they could easily take a soul bone from the Star Dou Great Forest and sell it at an auction, so the gold soul coins would also lose their meaning to them.

Nothing happened that night. Tang Shan, having just emerged from his meditative state, quickly washed up and went downstairs. He found that the hotel restaurant was already quite full of people, and Gu Yue was clearly one of them.

There were several chairs around the round table. On one of the chairs, a three-eyed golden lion was clinging to the edge of the table, its little head buried in a food plate, its cheeks bulging and constantly moving as it was eating heartily. Its little paws would occasionally paw at the edge of the plate to keep the food in place.

Gu Yue rested her chin on her hand, watching the Three-Eyed Golden Lion devour its food with gentle eyes.

After Tang Shan picked up some seafood, a specialty of coastal cities, from the plate, he walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down, asking Gu Yue curiously:

Why aren't you eating today?

Gu Yue said calmly, "I don't have much of an appetite today."

The three-eyed golden lion raised its paw to wipe the crumbs from the corner of its mouth, secretly giving its master a disdainful look. If it weren't unable to speak, it would definitely have spat on it properly—whoever had carried it along the street last night, gorging itself on food, and then blamed the reason for all the purchases on it, this auspicious beast that could only drool on the sidelines. It was utterly despicable.

As for why Gu Yue didn't eat at the hotel, having eaten better food, why would he be interested in eating the same dishes that tasted mediocre?

Tang Shan didn't believe Gu Yue's words at all. He had truly come to understand the Silver Dragon King's true nature these days. As for not having much of an appetite, he could only laugh it off!

You're either eating or on your way to eating, how could you possibly have no appetite!

Chapter 266 The real people who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.

After the meal, the group did not linger in Linhai City, but headed straight for the seaside.

Splash!

The crisp sound of waves crashing filled my ears, and before my eyes stretched an endless expanse of blue.

Layer upon layer of waves lapped against the beach, carrying away the fine sand as they slowly receded, leaving behind rings of damp water.

Suddenly, a few seabirds spread their wings and swooped down, accurately snatching fish from the sea, then flapped their wings and soared into the high sky.

Stepping onto the soft sand, feeling the salty sea breeze on my face, and gazing at the boundless expanse where the sea and sky meet, my mood seemed to open up and relax.

"Let's go."

Biji gently reminded them, her vibrant wings unfurling behind her. With a light pat, her gentle soul power carried Gu Yue and the auspicious beast into the air.

Xiong Jun's domineering soul power enveloped Tang Shan's entire body, and the group sped towards the vast and boundless depths of the ocean.

……

The initial awe of seeing the ocean for the first time is enough to strike the soul and bring an unparalleled spiritual impact, but after seeing it for a long time, one gets used to it and even gradually feels bored.

On the sea, only the endless rolling waves create a monotonous and silent blue. The occasional flying birds and leaping fish are the only lively embellishments in this vast expanse of water.

As the sun approached noon, Xiong Jun gradually slowed down his flight, and the blurry seascape around him gradually became clearer.

This is an island group consisting of seven or eight small islands. From the air, it does not seem particularly large. As you slowly descend, the rugged sand and the crooked trees gradually come into view, and the scenery of the islands is clear at a glance.

Tang Shan saw obvious signs of battle on the square-oval-shaped island to his left front; five deep wounds nearly divided the island into five equal parts.

On one of the sections, there were traces of some enormous creature being dragged, but now, only an empty space remained.

snort!

Seeing that all the 100,000-year-old sharp-toothed swordfish he had hunted were gone, even though he was prepared, Xiong Jun still couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"Bear King, go and find it. I'll stay here and guard it."

Biji surveyed her surroundings, then landed with Guyue and the auspicious beast on the edge of a small cliff.

"clear."

Xiong Jun agreed in a deep voice, and gently sent his soul power to place Tang Shan beside the auspicious beast.

Looking at the three-eyed golden lion peeking out curiously beside him, Tang Shan couldn't resist stroking its chin.

The fur of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is very soft, like the finest silk, and it exudes a faint warmth, making it irresistible to touch.

Faced with Tang Shan's sudden attack, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion originally wanted to resist, but feeling the way of caressing that was not much different from that of its master sister, its struggles instantly lessened, and in the end it simply let Tang Shan "do whatever he wanted".

"This isn't surrender; it's just that this human's strength is too great for me to resist," the three-eyed golden lion thought, turning over and squinting its eyes in enjoyment.

Brigitte, who was originally prepared to provide assistance at any time, turned around and saw the situation in front of her, her lips twitching slightly.

……

Xiong Jun's method of finding the golden-haired lion mastiff was very simple and brutal. He roared to the sky, and the rolling sound waves spread rapidly in all directions from the island as the center. The provocative mental power in his voice was not concealed at all.

In just a few breaths, the sound spread throughout the entire island group.

The sound of the waves gradually subsided, and everything returned to tranquility, with no other noise except for the sound of the waves crashing against the shore.

Roar!

Xiong Jun roared again, his voice soaring into the sky, scattering the layers of clouds with a single roar. The roar was like a thunderclap in clear weather, exploding with a deafening boom.

Roar!

A loud and powerful roar also came, exploding on another island, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted on that island, stirring up a cloud of dust.

A fierce light flashed in Xiong Jun's eyes, and his bone-chilling killing intent solidified into a tangible form, bursting forth. His burly figure swayed, instantly transforming into a giant bear a hundred meters in size.

Its dark golden fur, like molten metal, covered its body. Its muscles bulged and bulged, with fierce and menacing lines. Standing on the island, it was like an indestructible golden mountain.

Boom! Boom!

The enormous bear paws trampled on the island, leaving footprints several meters deep. With each step, the island where Tangshan was located trembled slightly, and the seawater near the shore was shaken up to half a meter high with waves.

Roar!

Seemingly sensing the overwhelming ferocity from that side, a roar like that of a lion was imbued with an overwhelming fighting spirit. Accompanied by a slight tremor from the neighboring island, a golden figure finally appeared in Tangshan's field of vision.

The first impression of the golden-haired lion mastiff in Tangshan was that it had the body of a lion and the face of a demon. Its body was as agile as an adult male lion, and its whole body was covered with long, hard, golden mane that shone with a beautiful metallic luster in the sunlight. Its head was as black as ink, with a ferocious demon face pattern, deep-set eyes, and a fierce and intimidating appearance.

Even though his magnificent fur was dazzling, it couldn't conceal his strong and well-proportioned muscles, which were sharply defined and each one contained explosive power, making him extremely aggressive.

Despite being less than four meters tall, it exudes a fearless and fierce aura, ready to fight to the death. With its enormous head and pitch-black face, it resembles a monstrous, hungry ghost, giving people a tremendous psychological deterrent.

Its eyes had turned bloodshot without its noticing. Suddenly, it leaped up on the beach of the neighboring island, kicking up sand and causing the island to tremble slightly. The entire beast charged towards the hundred-meter-tall bear like a cannonball.

His legs!

Tangshan noticed the problem immediately. At the first moment the golden-haired lion mastiff erupted, its body was noticeably sluggish, and it seemed to be losing its balance. Upon closer inspection, the left leg of the golden-haired lion mastiff, which was charging fiercely at Xiong Jun, was clearly shorter than the previous one, most likely the part that Xiong Jun had severed.
