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

Tang San answered sincerely and solemnly, then his soul power surged and poured into his soul rings. He roared, "Brother Yu, be careful! Watch my Blue Silver Wrap!"

The sound echoed through the forest, startling Yu Xiaogang awake from his unconscious state.

……

"Is this Notting Academy?"

Gu Yue followed beside Tang Shan, looking up at the plaque above, where four simple characters were engraved. She tilted her head slightly, her long hair falling over her shoulder, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"That's right, but I didn't go to school here when I was a child, so I don't know exactly what it's like inside."

Since we're in Notting City, we might as well check out Notting Academy while we're at it. Besides, I know the headmaster of Notting Academy.”

Tang Shan explained with a smile.

Of course, he wouldn't say that he came specifically to see Lord Sea God and the Rogue Rabbit. Fortunately, when hunting for the first spirit ring, Su Haichao asked for the help of Su Yuan, the dean of Notting Academy, which gave Tang Shan a reasonable excuse to come here.

As for what to do if he encounters Tang Hao at Notting Academy, Tang Shan said that if Tang Hao is feeling down, Zi Ji and Xiong Jun can have a mixed doubles match.

As for your question about where Brigitte went, that's a good question. This question is just as worth exploring as the question of what kind of spirit beast can be born from the hybrid of an emerald swan and a black dragon.

Who are you two?

The two walked to the gate, and the gatekeeper stepped forward, bowed slightly, and put on a fawning smile.

This gatekeeper was the same one who had made things difficult for Tang San before. However, he wasn't stupid. Seeing that Tang Shan and Gu Yue were dressed in extraordinary clothes, he knew that this handsome man and beautiful woman were not people he could afford to offend. So, he asked tactfully.

"We are Soul Masters and would like to visit Notting Academy, is that permissible?"

Since the other party was so polite, Tang Shan naturally wouldn't put on airs. He spoke in a gentle voice, and as he answered, he also subtly released a burst of soul power to prove his identity.

Sensing the domineering and tyrannical aura of soul power, the gatekeeper turned pale and hurriedly opened the gate: "Please come in, both of you."

Tang Shan smiled to himself: Wasn't the gatekeeper quite nice? After that, he took Gu Yue and entered Notting Academy together.

Click!

The gate closed, and the obsequious gatekeeper reverted to his arrogant and domineering demeanor. Recalling the terrifying aura of Tang Shan's soul power just now, he couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Is this the kind of imposing presence a soul master should have? What Master Yu, and that country bumpkin Tang San, how could they become soul masters? Heaven is truly blind."

……

"Xiao Chenyu, what do you mean? What do you mean by asking me to be your pet rabbit?!"

As soon as they stepped through the gate, a clear female voice caught Gu Yue and Tang Shan's attention.

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see a girl who looked no more than six or seven years old and a boy who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old each leading a group of people in a standoff.

The little girl wore rabbit ear hair clips, her eyes were bright, and she had a hint of charm and allure. Her legs were straight and long, making her very eye-catching.

The boy was not ordinary-looking; he had a handsome face, but his eyes were very offensive as he looked the girl up and down as if she were some special commodity.

The other children following behind the boy were mostly dressed in fine clothes, with arrogant expressions and a haughty demeanor.

Although the children behind the little girl were all indignant, they could not hide the cowardice hidden in their eyes.

Gu Yue, who had been looking around, suddenly darkened his expression the moment he saw the rabbit-eared girl. His eyes flashed with coldness and he was full of vigilance, wondering why the girl had suddenly appeared there.

Tang Shan's expression was somewhat strange. He never expected that he and Gu Yue would witness this grand spectacle so soon after entering Notting Academy. The long-legged, rabbit-eared girl must be Xiao Wu, a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, and the boy opposite her must be Xiao Chenyu, the son of the Notting City Lord.

That said, there are quite a few wolf-type martial souls among the supporting characters in Douluo Continent. My older brother, Su Yuntao, has a lone wolf martial soul, Feng Xiaotian from Gale Academy has a Gale Two-Headed Wolf martial soul, and if you include Xiao Chenyu, that makes three.

Chapter 293 Yu Xiaogang's Mentality

Why is she here? Did she sense something and come specifically to Tangshan?

Sure enough, compared to the chosen one of the planes, Tang Shan, an existence even more outrageous than the chosen one of the planes, is even more special. It is highly likely that the gods in heaven have some designs on Tang Shan.

Fortunately, I was able to conceal my aura, and with the influence of the flow of time and spatial distance, otherwise they might have noticed me.

Gu Yue's brows furrowed into a knot, her delicate cheeks covered with a layer of frost, and her aura grew increasingly cold, attracting Tang Shan's attention.

"Gu Yue, are you alright?"

Tang Shan suddenly felt a chill creeping up his body. He turned around and saw that the once lively and agile Silver Dragon King now had a cold expression, his eyes were gleaming with cold light, the air pressure around him had dropped to freezing point, and a faint killing intent was revealed on his body.

He was startled, wondering who had offended this old lady. To prevent any accidents, he cautiously inquired.

"It's nothing."

Gu Yue suddenly smiled sweetly, her eyebrows curving into crescents, and the chill around her instantly vanished. Her voice was soft, as if the fierce aura from before had never appeared.

If Tang Shan hadn't remembered it so clearly, he might have doubted that what he had just experienced was merely his imagination.

Tang Shan glanced at Xiao Wu, who was confronting Xiao Chenyu, and wondered if the Silver Dragon King was sensing a strong threat from this rogue rabbit and was having an instinctive reaction of suspecting that the rabbit might be detrimental to him in the future.

Xiao Wu was naturally unaware that a man and a dragon were watching her from not far away. Faced with Xiao Chenyu's provocation, she could no longer tolerate it: "You, surnamed Xiao, if you have the guts, then draw up a line and tell me how this matter is going to be resolved?"

"Alright, you said it yourself. Three days from now, on the lawn behind Notting Academy. No need for my little brother to participate. It'll be just the two of us fighting one-on-one. Neither of us will gain an advantage over the other, so you won't accuse us of bullying others."

Faced with Xiao Chenyu's contempt for the work-study students, Xiao Wu, having been a soul beast for many years, still had some sense and didn't get carried away with her emotions and insist on fighting her underlings. She was clear about the difference between work-study students and paid students. Putting aside other factors, in terms of physical fitness, the malnourished work-study students who needed to work to support themselves were far inferior to the paid students.

As for combat experience, the combat experience of the part-time students comes from the paid students. At most, the part-time students are just a little more ruthless. There is no essential difference between the two.

"Okay, I agree, but there has to be some stake involved, right? We can't fight for nothing."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up; she didn't want a simple duel, and a plan came to mind.

"A prize? Okay, you lost. From now on, you'll be my obedient pet rabbit and never leave my side."

Xiao Chenyu's voice was full of arrogance and mockery.

Xiao Wu agreed without hesitation: "No problem, but if you lose, you have to bow down and acknowledge me as your boss, and you have to avoid me from now on."

"Okay! It's a deal, and we won't go back on our word!"

Xiao Chenyu readily agreed as well.

"It's a deal!" Xiao Wu replied, waving her little hand. "Let's go!"

"Humph!"

Xiao Chenyu snorted coldly, watched them leave, and did not continue to cause trouble for the work-study students. He then led his underlings and walked in the opposite direction from Xiao Wu.

I've seen the entire Tangshan and Guyue...

Gu Yue was silent for a moment, then gently poked Tang Shan's arm with her slender fingers. Her ear tips turned slightly red, and she asked with a hint of confusion and shyness, "Tang Shan, what does 'becoming a pet rabbit' mean? It doesn't sound like a nice thing."

Seeing that Gu Yue seemed to have returned to normal, Tang Shan breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard the other party's question, his expression stiffened for a moment.

Tang Shan glanced at Gu Yue, whose face was flushed and ears were red with embarrassment, and knew that she had understood the true meaning of Xiao Chenyu's words.

Clearly, although his travels across the continent have only just begun, the Silver Dragon King has already gained a deeper understanding of the human world and is no longer as naive as he was at the beginning.

"That's exactly what you mean."

Tangshan replied meaningfully.

"Then why did she agree?"

"That means she's very confident and sure she'll win this duel."

That's all Tang Shan could say. To be honest, he couldn't quite understand Xiao Wu's thoughts at the time.

Tang Shan couldn't help but glance at Gu Yue again, wondering if the Silver Dragon King was too naive or the Soft Bone Rabbit was too roguish. They both came from the Star Dou Great Forest, so why was there such a big difference?

Tang Shan's complicated gaze triggered Gu Yue's instinctive warning. She wrinkled her nose, her round eyes widened suddenly, and she stared at Tang Shan: "I feel like you're thinking about something very impolite."

"It's nothing. There are too many people around here. Let me take you to see Dean Su Yuan."

Tang Shan remained calm and forcefully changed the subject.

……

"So, you, Xiao San, absorbed the soul ring of a Thorn Ghost Vine without permission in order to increase your strength, right?"

Inside the swaying carriage, Yu Xiaogang was pale and had a dull look in his eyes. He listened to Tang San's explanation with a hint of anger.

Tang San didn't dare to meet his gaze, but lowered his head and mumbled, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I have let you down."

Yu Tianheng, sitting to the side, breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he obediently admitted his mistake, his uncle probably wouldn't hold onto this point.

"Tian Heng, why didn't you help Xiao San hunt down an animal-type soul beast? Do you know how much this would affect Xiao San's future? My carefully planned path of cultivation has been ruined by your carelessness. How can you face your grandfather like this!"

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang became increasingly agitated, his eyes red with emotion—his experimental subject, one who could only encounter a subject with twin martial souls once in many years, was gone just like that.

Feeling the spittle sprayed on his face, a flash of disgust crossed Yu Tianheng's eyes. Before meeting Tang San, Yu Tianheng, who thought revenge was hopeless, still held Yu Xiaogang in high esteem, after all, the other party was one of the few remaining relatives in his world;

However, after meeting Tang San, Yu Tianheng realized the possibility of revenge and felt that Yu Xiaogang was going to become a stumbling block on his path to vengeance. If Yu Xiaogang hadn't ultimately been his family, he probably would have...

Strands of black light surged in Yu Tianheng's eyes, his killing intent chilling.

"Teacher, this has nothing to do with Brother Yu. I insisted on absorbing it myself, and I will bear the consequences myself."

After all, he hadn't spent many days with Yu Xiaogang, and it was Yu Tianheng who had pulled him out of Yu Xiaogang's trap. Faced with his teacher's aggressive questioning, Tang San still stood up and wanted to speak a word of justice.

Snapped!

The crisp sound echoed throughout the carriage. Yu Tianheng was stunned, while Tang San touched his burning cheek, completely bewildered. He never expected that his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, would suddenly slap him—his most respected teacher!

The father-son bond that he hadn't received from Tang Hao, but vaguely received from Yu Xiaogang, was quietly shattered by this slap.

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

Yu Xiaogang gasped for breath, his expression somewhat ferocious. After a long while, he leaned back in his seat, his face pale, his voice weak but firm: "Alright, what's done is done. We'll let bygones be bygones for the mistake of the first spirit ring, but the second spirit ring must be an animal-type spirit beast. I'm tired, I need to rest for a while."

To be honest, Yu Xiaogang regretted slapping his student immediately afterward, worried that he might have driven his precious student away. However, in order to maintain his dignity as a researcher and teacher, he ultimately chose to ignore the situation.

"Understood, teacher."

Tang San's voice was calm, his eyes were undisturbed, and he gave a curt reply without any emotion.

Yu Xiaogang leaned against the car wall, remaining silent, and the car fell into dead silence once again.

In the original timeline, Yu Xiaogang, despite his incomplete martial soul and constant feelings of inferiority, had his ten core competencies for martial souls widely disseminated under the influence of an unseen force, earning him a high status in theoretical circles. This external recognition bolstered his pride, allowing him to maintain a degree of perseverance despite his inferiority complex.

However, in this timeline, the pseudonym "Master" from Tangshan suddenly appeared, completely overturning the continent's understanding with his truly correct theory of martial spirits.

Yu Xiaogang's flawed and self-contradictory theories have naturally lost their foothold for dissemination.

Without the support of his reputation, his inferiority complex was amplified to an extreme, leaving only frustration and distortion. To cover up his theoretical failure, he could only become more stubborn, irritable, and extremely controlling, leading to a complete imbalance in his mentality.

……

In the small pavilion of the Crown Prince's residence in Tiandou.

Xue Qinghe was dressed in a moon-white robe, the hem of which flowed like water. Her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, her skin was as white as jade, and her temperament was refined and elegant. Every move she made carried the unique elegance and nobility of royalty.

"Young Master, everything has been taken care of."
