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

He was somewhat bewildered as he meticulously observed the ordinary man who appeared to be a Star Luo spy using his mental power: No, what did I do to offend you? As a spy, where does such intense killing intent come from? Shouldn't your job be to gather information?

Although puzzled, Tang Shan quickly shifted his attention, because the show had already begun.

……

The students were packed in layers, forming a circle around the lawn behind the hill. All you could see were heads.

Tang Shan turned to look at Gu Yue beside him: "Come with me."

"Mmm." Gu Yue moved her small hand that was tugging at Tang Shan's sleeve down, her fingertips feeling cool and delicate, and timidly yet willingly placed them into Tang Shan's large, warm palm.

She turned her pretty face slightly away, a light blush rising on her fair cheeks. The tips of her ears were already tinged with pink, and even her small earlobes had a faint red tinge. Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest, and she lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Tang Shan's gaze.

Tang Shan, who was just giving a routine reminder, stiffened when he felt the warm and soft material suddenly appear in his hand. He then gently tightened his grip on the soft and delicate little hand.

The girl's skin was smooth and radiant, like the finest warm jade. He exerted a little force, bringing the girl's soft body closer to him, and with a squeeze, he pulled her into the crowded throng.

A gentle smile, genuine and heartfelt, appeared on Tang Shan's lips. Although the other party did not say it explicitly, their actions spoke volumes.

His internal energy surged, and his perception reached its peak. Never before had Tang Shan felt such a clear grasp of the internal energy within him. He lightly twisted his wrist, seemingly effortlessly flicking and pushing, and the hidden force was gently sent out along his arm. Although he didn't use much strength, the crowded people seemed to be gently pushed aside by an invisible force, naturally parting to both sides like a tide.

No one noticed the external force affecting them; they simply assumed it was normal pushing and shoving within the crowd.

With a slight pull and tug, he used his waist and abdomen to easily move a burly student away. The student was completely unaware and thought he had just been pushed aside by the crowd.

Tang Shan, carrying Gu Yue, weaved through the crowd like a fish swimming in the waves. Every step landed precisely in the gaps, remaining firmly in place while gently repelling any approaching people with astonishing efficiency.

"arrive."

Tang Shan flicked his wrist slightly, and a gentle force quietly erupted.

Gu Yue felt her body lighten, as if she were being gently pulled off the ground. The next second, a pair of broad, warm hands steadily supported her slender, soft waist. The warmth of the palms seeped through the fabric and into her skin, carrying a reassuring power.

When she landed again, she was already standing steadily in front of Tangshan.

Her long, jet-black hair was like a waterfall formed from the night sky, so smooth that not a single wisp of hair was visible. As it fell, it gently brushed against Tang Shan's wrist. The hair was soft and light, carrying a faint, elegant fragrance, which rippled across the surface of his heart.

The black-haired girl turned her head, her eyes bright and moist, filled with tenderness. She gently bit her tender red lower lip and moved her lips slightly. With great difficulty, she managed to utter three words. After speaking, she immediately turned her head quickly and stared intently ahead. At this moment, her little ears were already bright red, and even her neck was tinged with a thin layer of red.

"Thank you."

Thinking of Gu Yue's words, Tang Shan's smile became even more pronounced, but he was in no hurry to "pursue the matter relentlessly." Some things should be left to happen naturally, like water flowing into a channel.

……

"Xiao Wu, are you alright?"

A clear but still somewhat childish male voice attracted the attention of the crowd. Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw an ordinary-looking boy, no more than six or seven years old, standing nervously next to a girl wearing rabbit ear hair clips.

Their identities need no introduction; they are none other than Xiao Wu and Tang San.

Seeing Tang San's nervous appearance, Tang Shan felt something was off: He remembered that the development in the original novel shouldn't have been this fast. After all, it wasn't even the end of the semester yet, and the two of them weren't even officially siblings. Why was Tang San so nervous? Could it be that my changes had caused Tang San to awaken prematurely and see his own heart clearly?

"Tang San, you're back. If you had been any later, we work-study students would have been bullied terribly."

When Xiao Wu saw Tang San return, her eyes lit up. During this time, she hadn't been able to sleep well because she hadn't smelled the scent of Blue Silver Grass. Today, she could finally get a good night's sleep.

"Who is bullying us work-study students?"

Staring at Xiao Wu's large, bright, alluring, and charming eyes, Tang San, who had no experience and only knew how to make hidden weapons in his previous life, felt his blood rush to his head. With a loud shout, his sharp eyes fixed on the group of paying students opposite him.

"Hmph, where did this country bumpkin come from, barking like a dog here?"

Xiao Chenyu was about to start the challenge and was about to get another pet rabbit when an unexpected obstacle suddenly appeared and ruined his plans. As a result, his tone was quite unfriendly.

"I am Tang San, and I am also a work-study student. If you have any tricks up your sleeve, come at me. Don't even think about messing with Xiao Wu."

Tang San felt as if he were possessed by a righteous messenger; his voice was strong and his eyes were sharp, exuding masculinity.

"Kid, do you think I'm stupid? What's the point of fighting with you? You know, if I beat the little rabbit, she'll become my pet rabbit."

Xiao Chenyu glanced at Xiao Wu behind Tang San and added sarcastically, "Little rabbit, if you can't afford to gamble, just admit defeat. I, Xiao Chenyu, am not the kind of person who is unreasonable. There's no need to bring some Tom, Dick, or Harry to cause trouble."

Chapter 297 The Discovery of Gu Yue

"What do you mean?"

As a former disciple of the Tang Clan, Tang San, who independently developed the Tang Clan's top-notch hidden weapons, was naturally proud and had never suffered such an insult. Before Xiao Wu could even retaliate, he was already red-hot.

"You dare to humiliate me like this; you are already courting death."

However, no matter how hard Tang San shouted, Xiao Chenyu never glanced at him. Instead, he stared intently at Xiao Wu behind Tang San, clearly expecting her to respond.

"Little Sanzi, you did a great job, you showed some of the spirit of us work-study students, but let me, Sister Xiaowu, handle this trouble today."

Xiao Wu put one hand on her hip and gently patted Tang San's shoulder with the other, speaking in a somewhat protective and mature tone.

"But Xiaowu, this..."

Tang San was about to say something when Xiao Wu pushed him aside, and she took a step forward to face Xiao Chenyu.

"Hey, the little rabbit does have some leadership qualities, not letting his underlings stand in front of him. Not bad."

Xiao Chenyu clasped his hands in front of him, his expression arrogant, his voice full of sarcasm.

"Enough with the nonsense! When are we going to start? Stop wasting time dawdling around here!"

Xiao Wu was clearly getting impatient. She frowned, stamped her foot, and urged him on.

"Since you're so eager to become my pet, I naturally won't refuse. Martial Soul, possess me!"

With a loud shout from Xiao Chenyu, his body swelled up, his clothes were stretched slightly by the sudden bulge of his muscles, his eyes instantly turned eerie green, his ten sharp claws shot out, their cold light gleaming, and a fierce aura spread out from his body.

"That's more like it. Martial Soul, Possession!"

Xiao Wu also shouted loudly, her soul power trembled slightly, and her two fluffy white rabbit ears immediately stood up on her head, trembling slightly. Her eyes were tinged with a faint red, adding a touch of charm to her liveliness.

Tang Shan, who was watching from the sidelines, asked a question mark. He couldn't help but gently touch Gu Yue, making her ear tips turn even redder. She turned her head slightly, glared at Tang Shan, and the meaning was clear: Speak quickly if you have something to say.

Tang Shan lowered his voice and asked, "Gu Yue, do you have a habit of shouting when you possess your martial spirit?"

Feeling Tang Shan's slightly hot breath brush against her ear, Gu Yue, whose face was already flushed, slowed her blush upon hearing Tang Shan's question, barely managing to clear her slightly dazed mind. She blinked her beautiful eyes, her cheeks still warm, and her voice was soft yet hesitant: "I don't think so..."

While Tang Shan and Gu Yue were discussing whether or not to shout out when a martial soul is possessed, Xiao Wu had already started fighting Xiao Chenyu.

With a martial spirit attached, the spirit rings naturally appear. Leaving aside the white spirit ring beneath Xiao Chenyu's feet, Xiao Wu's dazzling hundred-year spirit ring alone brought great shock to the onlookers.

boom!

After activating her Martial Soul, Xiao Wu's physical attributes were enhanced in all aspects. With a light touch of her toes on the ground, she suddenly launched herself forward, like an arrow released from a bow, rapidly approaching her opponent with a swift whistling sound.

Awoo!

Xiao Chenyu let out a wolf howl, letting out a roar that released the slight panic he felt upon seeing the hundred-year-old soul ring at Xiao Wu's feet. With a slight exertion of his limbs, he took large strides and, with a fierce aura, rapidly approached Xiao Wu.

His spirit is a rabbit, and mine is a wolf. Even with the difference in spirit ring age, I might still be able to turn the tables. A Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear can fight a 10,000-year-old one, while I, with my wolf spirit, should have no problem fighting a 100-year-old one over a few decades.

The more Xiao Chenyu thought about it, the more confident he became, and his aura seemed to grow stronger.

boom!

Xiao Wu leaped up, twisted her waist, and her thigh swept out like a long whip, slashing straight at Xiao Chenyu with a sharp whooshing sound.

Xiao Chenyu crossed his arms to protect his chest and forcefully took Xiao Wu's attack.

His toes collided heavily with his arms, a dull thud echoing out. He staggered back several steps, then forcefully regained his balance before lunging forward again, his sharp claws gleaming coldly as he aimed straight for Xiao Wu's face.

"A trivial skill."

Xiao Wu lightly touched the ground with her toes, her body nimbly dodging, like a nimble rabbit. Her speed exploded again, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Xiao Chenyu. Her long legs seemed to be spring-loaded, and with full explosive power, she slammed into Xiao Chenyu's downward-pressing palm in an instant.

boom!

It was another head-on collision. Feeling the immense force from his palm, Xiao Chenyu retreated repeatedly. Xiao Wu, however, was relentless. Her legs moved like giant windmills, unleashing a continuous barrage of attacks that overwhelmed her opponent, giving him no chance to breathe.

"Little rabbit, you've angered me! Behold my first soul skill, Wolf Soul Possession!"

After forcefully catching Xiao Wu's powerful kick, Xiao Chenyu roared to the sky again. The rhythmic white spirit rings around his body suddenly flashed, and a blurry wolf-shaped phantom flashed behind him, crashing straight into his body. His body swelled again, his muscles became even more ferocious, and his defense, attack power, speed, and other aspects were enhanced in all aspects.

"You think you're the only one with a soul skill? Watch this, waist bow."

With a delicate shout, Xiao Wu's yellow spirit ring flashed beneath her feet, her waist function received a massive boost, and her entire body's power suddenly converged.

……

Over here, two one-ring Soul Masters were locked in a fierce battle, sending sand and dust flying everywhere, even grinding away pebbles. Meanwhile, the Silver Dragon King, whose head was still a little dizzy but was gradually recovering, recalled Tang Shan's words and began to scrutinize the boy whose eyes were filled with worry and whose hands were tightly clenched.

This one glance led to trouble. Gu Yue had only intended to casually observe what was so special about Tang San, who was being watched by Tang Shan, but this observation revealed the aura that was typical of the chosen one of that world, once again making the Silver Dragon King's head spin.

Gu Yue raised her fair little hand and subconsciously rubbed her eyes. Her gaze was slightly unfocused, and she wondered if she was seeing things: Why is there another Chosen One here?

With some doubt, she looked again: Yes, the aura of favor was correct, and the consciousness of the plane did indeed show signs of favor. But why did these signs of favor feel somewhat blurry, as if she had been forcibly pulled over and stamped with a seal?

The Silver Dragon King fell into deep thought. He was somewhat bewildered, his mind blank. Then, he suddenly realized something.

Judging from the faint divine aura emanating from Tang San, he should be an artificial chosen one of the planes; while Su Yuntao, whom I had met before, was the chosen one of the planes selected by Douluo Star itself.

Although they come from different sources, they are essentially the same, both possessing the standard qualities of turning danger into safety and misfortune into good fortune.

So, I've found the chosen one of this plane, and the next step is to win them over. But the problem is, why are there two chosen ones of this plane existing on the continent at the same time? It doesn't make any sense!

Just as the silver dragon lady remembered the purpose of her transformation, she began to hesitate, ponder, and waver. One clue after another connected, seemingly forming a vague possibility.

"Awe-inspiring wisdom" activated! The Silver Dragon King dared not be careless and used her trump card. Then, she understood everything!

Chapter 298 The Truth About the Chosen One

The concepts of "chosen one of another" and "divine creation of another" are all cover-ups; there is only one truth.

By piecing together all the information, Gu Yue finally discovered the most illogical character, or rather, she had been right next to the correct answer from the very beginning.

……

Tang Shan watched the battle between Xiao Wu and Xiao Chenyu with great interest. No, it was less of a battle and more of a crushing defeat by a master.

Xiao Wu, as expected of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, although the amplification effect of her 100-year-old soul skill was only average, and she had only just transformed and was not yet particularly adapted to the human body, still managed to crush Xiao Chenyu with her rich combat experience.

It can only be said that the combat experience of a rabbit that has cultivated for 100,000 years is far beyond what a twelve-year-old boy could ever match, even if the rabbit has not yet adapted to the way humans exert force.

Just then, Tang Shan felt as if someone was staring at him intently, and the source of the stare was quite obvious. He subconsciously lowered his head and met a pair of dark eyes.

"What's wrong?" Tang Shan asked, looking at Gu Yue's bright eyes with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing." Gu Yue's lips curled up slightly, her deep, night-sky-like eyes revealing a knowing understanding of everything.

Tang Shan felt somewhat confused, but at this moment Gu Yue had already turned her pretty face back, forcing him to swallow the question that was on the tip of his tongue.
