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

The ancient banyan tree remained silent.

"Uncle Gu, we can't let Rongrong continue to act recklessly like this. We must discipline her strictly and teach her properly."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Gu Rong remained silent for a while before speaking: "I understand, Fengzhi. Jianren and I will pay more attention in the future, but please don't be too strict. I'll go check on Rongrong first, just in case she encounters any danger."

After speaking, Gu Rong tore open a spatial tunnel and followed the mark she had left on Ning Rongrong.

Ning Fengzhi watched the gradually closing spatial passage and fell silent. The world was in turmoil. The destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex had sounded an alarm for everyone. The Douluo Continent was a deep and dangerous place. Don't be arrogant just because you have some strength.

……

At this moment, the culprits who caused the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were on their way back to Heaven Dou City.

"By the way, kid, did you fuse two more external soul bones?"

A domineering and tyrannical soul force enveloped Tang Shan, and a dark golden halo spread across the protective shield, blocking out all the cold currents and strong winds thousands of meters in the air.

Tang Shan nodded: "That's right. This time, the golden-haired lion mastiff gave me two external soul bones, which fused with my left and right paws."

Whether it was because the golden-haired lion mastiff cooperated, Tang Shan's absorption and fusion of the soul bone was very simple this time. It was completed quietly when his power broke through to the ultimate level, without any pain or torment.

After a moment's hesitation, Tang Shan simply revealed the effects of his two Soul Bone Skills.

"The soul bone technique attached to the left foot bone is 'Fight to the Death'."

Hearing the name of the soul skill, which was reminiscent of a golden-haired lion, Xiong Jun raised an eyebrow: "Why did you choose such a name? It doesn't sound very auspicious."

"It's not what you think, senior. The accurate name should be 'Frenzied Battle Before Death,' which is a passive soul skill. Its effect is that as long as you are not dead, even if you are seriously injured, your strength can always be maintained at its peak if your internal energy has not been exhausted."

As long as he's not dead, his power will always be at its peak and won't decline. Hmm, very good, very much in line with the consistent style of the golden-haired lion mastiff.

"What about the soul skill of the other soul bone?"

Xiong Jun couldn't really comment on the effect of this soul bone skill. He could only say that all of the golden lion's soul skills were basically designed for combat, and its most outstanding feature was its stubbornness.

"I call the soul skill of my right foot metacarpal bone 'Invincible Body,' which can make me immune to a series of negative statuses that affect my movements, such as knockback, shockwaves, slowing, and freezing."

Xiong Jun asked with some doubt: "Couldn't your ultimate level of strength, with its wrist-touching technique, also achieve this effect?"

Chapter 273 Reveal the Plan

"That's true in theory, but senior, with the power I have now, I don't yet have the means to touch them."

Tang Shan explained, "For example, shockwaves, recoil, slowed gravity, and so on. Theoretically, I can indeed touch and destroy these things using the Force-Beat Wrist Technique, but touching these relatively abstract things is not so simple. With my current strength, it is absolutely impossible for me to touch them; and when I have the strength to touch them, I basically won't need to."

Xiong Jun finally understood. Combining his memories of his previous battle with the golden-haired lion, he scratched his head: "No wonder the attacks were continuous when I fought the opponent earlier. It must be the ability of this Overlord Body Soul Skill. And the power that only rises and never falls back is obviously the result of the Soul Bone Skill Death Battle, combined with some kind of power-enhancing ability."

"That should be it. With these two soul skills combined, my attacks in battle will be more continuous, and my explosive power can reach a new level."

As dusk settled and the sun began to set, Tang Shan and his group arrived at the outskirts of Tiandou City.

As they landed slowly and entered the city, Tang Shan looked at Gu Yue and said, "Gu Yue, come to the Crown Prince's residence tomorrow so we can discuss our upcoming trip across the continent."

"Okay!"

Gu Yue readily agreed.

With the matter settled, the two devoured a considerable amount of delicious food along the street before parting ways.

Upon returning to the Crown Prince's residence, the guards at the gate, seeing that it was Tang Shan who had returned, hurriedly opened the gate and sent someone to report to Xue Qinghe.

Seeing this, Tang Shan simply headed towards the core area of ​​the Crown Prince's residence. Not long after, he saw Xue Qinghe walking quickly towards him, her face beaming with genuine joy.

"His Royal Highness."

Tangshan took the initiative to greet them.

Has it broken through?

Although seeing Tang Shan's abundant energy and spirit, Xue Qinghe already had a result in mind, but just in case, he still asked with concern.

"Everything went smoothly. I have absorbed the spirit ring of the 20,000-year-old golden lion mastiff."

Tang Shan felt a warmth in his heart and replied with a smile.

"That's good."

Xue Qinghe glanced at the sky. "You've been traveling all day. Get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Tang Shan nodded: "Your Highness, I do have something to discuss with you tomorrow."

Xue Qinghe recalled that Tangshan had mentioned this matter before she set off, and she had a bad feeling, but she remained calm on the surface and just nodded slightly to indicate that she knew.

At the same time, a spy hidden outside the Crown Prince's residence quietly retreated and headed towards the Dugu residence.

……

The next day, Tang Shan exited his cultivation state and felt a significant increase in his liquid soul power, which pleased him greatly.

Although the difficulty of cultivation increases significantly after the liquefaction of soul power is accompanied by the soul power quality reaching its ultimate level, there are also benefits—the body's ability to nurture seems to be stronger, and the body's potential begins to grow again.

Thinking about his physical potential, Tang Shan couldn't help but sigh silently again. At this rate of cultivation, when would he be able to perfect his Dan Jin cultivation and break through to Gang Jin?

Bang bang bang!

The familiar knocking interrupted Tang Shan's thoughts. The familiar time and rhythm startled him.

He subconsciously stepped forward, opened the door, and three figures came into view—a familiar man and two women, a familiar scene.

Xue Qinghe was very upset. She had just finished cultivating this morning when she received a piece of news from her maid that made her dizzy – Gu Yue and Dugu Yan had arrived.

Gu Yue was somewhat understandable, since she had just gone out with Tang Shan to hunt for spirit rings, and it was normal for her to know that he had returned to the Crown Prince's residence. But what about Dugu Yan? Tang Shan arrived at her Crown Prince's residence at night, and Dugu Yan came to her door the next morning. Wasn't this information a bit too well-informed?

Xue Qinghe had reason to suspect that the Dugu family might be plotting against her, the Crown Prince of Tiandou, and that they might even have spies planted outside to report to the Dugu family on the people coming and going from the Crown Prince's residence.

"Why are you all gathered together?"

Tangshan was somewhat surprised.

Dugu Yan's beautiful and aloof face was adorned with a faint smile, and her voice was exceptionally gentle: "I suddenly had a whim today, thinking that you should have already returned, so I came to the Crown Prince's residence to wait for you. When I arrived, it was just as I expected."

Xue Qinghe's lips twitched; he was genuinely suspicious of Dugu Yan's "spur-of-the-moment" decision.

Gu Yue blinked her big eyes: "You asked me to come today yesterday, and I thought I'd start my morning practice, so I came with them."

Tang Shan stepped aside to let the three of them in: "Alright, let's start our cultivation first, and then we can discuss business after we finish our cultivation."

After saying that, he closed the courtyard gate.

Tang Shan walked up to the three women with his hands behind his back and began to instruct them on the practice of internal martial arts.

Two years passed, and Xue Qinghe successfully entered the realm of Dark Force. Of course, her breakthrough wasn't achieved through finding inner inspiration, but rather through sheer perseverance and gradual, persistent effort. Fortunately, her martial spirit's strength was already considerable; although the physical boost wasn't particularly strong, it still allowed her to master Dark Force within those two years. For an ordinary person, let alone Dark Force, reaching the peak of Explicit Force within two years would be considered quite remarkable.

Dugu Yan is currently at the peak of Dark Force, only lacking the head to completely spread Dark Force throughout her body, and her strength will be transformed from hidden to manifest.

As for Gu Yue, one can only say that a god is still a god. He has already reached the peak of the Transformation Realm and his physical tempering has been perfected. What he lacks is to comprehend his own unique will.

To be honest, Tang Shan was initially a little surprised that Gu Yue hadn't grasped the will. After all, while grasping the will wasn't easy, it should have been a piece of cake for a deity with their superior level of understanding.

However, after exchanging ideas with the other party, Tang Shan realized that understanding willpower not only requires talent in this area, but more importantly, it requires sufficient foundation.

Tang Shan has lived two lives, and although the combined time he spent comprehending his will was less than thirty years, at least he had the time to mature.

And what about Guyue?

He was besieged by the gods right after he was born, and after escaping to Douluo Continent, he was either sleeping or sleeping, and had no experience whatsoever.

As for the Dragon God's memories, let's set aside the fact that those memories are a kind of inheritance from the Dragon God and not actually Gu Yue's experiences; even if they were truly Gu Yue's past experiences, looking at the information in the Dragon God's inheritance, the reasons for the rebellion in the God Realm, and comparing them with the real reasons, it's hard to say how much exaggeration there is in the memories in Gu Yue's mind.

Their current training mainly focuses on mastering internal energy, while Gu Yue is trying to control her qi and blood. Although she hasn't grasped the will and can't achieve the final collapse and transformation of her qi and blood, she can still try to gather her qi and blood at the beginning.

After giving instructions to Xue Qinghe and Dugu Yan, Tang Shan came to Gu Yue's side.

At this moment, Gu Yue was sitting cross-legged with a serene expression, and a subtle, flowing sound echoed within her body in the tranquil area.

Splash!

As the sound of water grew louder, Gu Yue's originally fair and rosy skin gradually lost its color, turning into a cool, jade-like white. Her rosy cheeks quickly became pale and lifeless, and her body temperature slowly dropped.

Tang Shan's eyes narrowed; clearly, Gu Yue had officially begun to try to gather the Qi and blood in her body.

Time passed second by second. About two minutes later, the cold aura slowly dissipated, and her fair skin regained its warm color. Her cheeks also regained their former rosy glow, and her body temperature returned to normal. Gu Yue also reopened her clear black and white eyes.

"How's the progress?"

Tangshan expressed concern and inquired.

"The gathering of Qi and blood is no longer a problem, but the final step of collapse remains elusive. It's a pity that if spiritual power could replace willpower, it wouldn't be so difficult."

Tang Shan reached out and helped Gu Yue up, comforting her, "Don't be anxious. This trip to travel across the continent and see all the beautiful scenery is itself a form of cultivation. At that time, your will may naturally come to an understanding."

"That's what I think too."

Gu Yue's face was full of certainty. Her main purpose in traveling the continent with Tang Shan was to comprehend the will; as for the delicious food along the way, it was merely incidental. Yes, that's the gist of it!

"Going out? You said you're going out?"

Dugu Yan had been paying close attention to Tang Shan and Gu Yue's conversation, fearing that the two might do something unusual. Her ears were perked up, and after catching a key word, she immediately pressed Tang Shan for answers.

Xue Qinghe, who had just finished his practice, frowned and looked at Tang Shan, his sense of foreboding growing stronger.

"Let's sit down and discuss this in detail; this is one of my important upcoming plans."

Tang Shan sat down at the table in the courtyard and gestured for the three of them to sit down as well.

Dugu Yan was the fastest and sat to Tang Shan's left; Xue Qinghe beat Gu Yue to it and sat to Tang Shan's right.

Seeing that her seat had been taken, Gu Yue was not annoyed and leisurely sat down opposite Tang Shan.

No! Something's not right!

Xue Qinghe and Dugu Yan noticed the problem almost immediately—Gu Yue's "I've already outdone you" attitude was definitely suspicious, very suspicious!

In unison, both men turned their gaze to Tangshan, realizing that the core of the problem lay with this man.

Feeling the two burning gazes, Tang Shan cleared his throat before telling them about his plans: "I plan to travel around the mainland for a while."

"You're leaving the Crown Prince's residence?"

Before Dugu Yan could speak, Xue Qinghe's voice suddenly rose, his eyes filled with obvious shock and disbelief, as well as well-hidden panic and confusion.

Come to think of it, Tang Shan had been living in Xue Qinghe's residence in Tiandou City ever since he left Notting City, for a full five years. After five years of living together day and night, the sudden announcement of leaving left even Xue Qinghe bewildered for a short time.

"I am not leaving the Crown Prince's residence, but rather traveling across the continent to see the sights and people of different places. The continuous cultivation over the past few days has left me quite exhausted, so this is a good opportunity to travel around and relax. Your Highness, please rest assured that I am always on your side, and I will return when my travels are over."

Chapter 274 Dugu Yan's Decision

Xue Qinghe fell silent. What she cared about was not whether Tang Shan would betray her, but Tang Shan's sudden departure.
