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

Last in line, the deep, dark sixth spirit ring emitted a somewhat eerie black light. The sixth spirit skill, Ashes, was released!

The pale gray flames, devoid of any heat, began to rapidly burn flesh and blood, life force, soul power, and martial spirit. Moreover, these eerie flames began to spread wildly towards the sea of ​​consciousness, clearly indicating that the next step would be to burn spiritual power and even the soul.

As it burned, immense energy condensed in its mouth at an extremely terrifying speed. A pale gray sphere of light began to shrink rapidly, with boiling and chaotic energy frantically converging within it. An intense sense of life-or-death crisis instantly surfaced in the minds of almost all the spectators.

"trouble!"

Tang Shan, who was originally engrossed in the fight and hadn't expected the two soul bone skills, Death Battle and Invincible Body, to be so useful, and wanted to continue the battle and try it out, suddenly stopped fighting when he sensed the gray energy ball.

The gray energy ball wasn't very powerful; at most, it would only cause him minor injuries. Tang Shan believed that once he activated his third soul skill, Purple Crystal Origin, he could recover in less than half a day thanks to the flesh-and-blood regeneration effect. However, the problem was that the light ball in front of him was likely an area-of-effect attack, and once the aftershocks spread, it would probably affect many innocent students.

"Kid, do you want me to step in and create a barrier to neutralize the energy shockwave?"

Just then, a powerful and domineering voice rang in Tang Shan's ears. The owner of the voice was none other than Xiong Jun, who was protecting Tang Shan and Gu Yue.

"Senior, if this energy ball explodes, can you set up a barrier immediately?"

Tang Shan had some ideas about the current trouble, but he also needed to confirm the final insurance policy in case of a rollover accident, so that someone could cover for him.

"no problem."

Xiong Jun's answer was very affirmative, which relieved Tang Shan.

The spiritual communication between the man and the beast took only a breath in reality. Sensing something was wrong, Su Yuan began to urge the students to evacuate quickly, while Tang Shan mobilized the violent blood and spiritual power within his body, forming a hand seal, and frantically gathering all his power into it.

The gray energy formed from his will surged and converged in his palms, and his spiritual power and blood energy pushed the power of this move to its limit. However, Tang Shan still did not stop his movements.

His soul power surged wildly, unleashing the full force of his ultimate power attribute, a mysterious and profound yet tangible characteristic, firmly gathered in Tang Shan's palms.

So what if it's an energy ball? So what if it's a soul skill? As long as I have enough power, I can directly touch the soul ring and shatter it. No matter how violent the energy is, once I touch it, the outcome is already decided.

Boom!

Facing the gray sphere of light that had expanded to the size of a football, and feeling the gray flames that had begun to burn with spiritual power, Tang Shan did not hesitate. He unleashed all his power and used the Heaven-Opening Seal to press down directly.

A powerful will, the gray energy transformed from that will, blood and spirit erupted together, all converging on Tang Shan's palm. In a daze, it seemed to truly condense into a huge and heavy gray axe imprint, colliding with the gray energy ball.

Pfft!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no deafening roar, and no strong aftershocks. Under the absolute power of Tang Shan's palm strike, the gray sphere of light seemed to collapse and disintegrate naturally. The violent energy transformed into pure soul power and slowly returned to the world. Tang Shan's handprint continued its momentum and pressed directly onto the chest of the half-human, half-tiger beast.

*Pfft! Pfft!*

Two more clear sounds rang out, and the gray flames that had been burning everything were instantly extinguished. The fifth soul skill, Thunder Tiger Evil Transformation, which was not yet over, was also completely extinguished by Tang Shan's slap.

thump!

Only a gaunt man remained, his body emaciated, his face ashen, his life force severely diminished, and he was in a deep coma.

Chapter 303 Tangshan's Angry Reign

Bending down, Tang Shan lifted the emaciated, life-threatening, and deeply unconscious Xingluo spy with one hand. He released his spiritual energy from the Lingyuan Realm to examine the spy's condition and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the person in front of me used a soul skill that burned everything, depleting his body's essence, his overall condition was still relatively stable, and he could probably survive for another half a month without much trouble.

Half a month should be enough time to pry the information you want out of the other party.

Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, the students who had been driven away by Su Yuan gradually regrouped, and some of the bolder ones subconsciously quickened their pace and moved closer to Tangshan.

It can only be said that children are more stubborn. If it were an older Soul Master, upon seeing a powerful stranger finish fighting, they would definitely stay far away, let alone approach him.

After all, you never know whether the powerful stranger in front of you is good or bad, what his personality is like, or whether he will take you down at the drop of a hat.

hum!

A silvery light rippled around him, and the power of space brewed around him. Fine light patterns swirled like flowing water, and the air was slightly distorted.

Tang Shan's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not resist, allowing himself to be enveloped by the power of space, and the scenery around him began to become hazy and indistinct.

A flash of silver light appeared before my eyes, and my vision was swallowed by a soft spatial light. The surrounding scenery blurred, stretched, and reassembled rapidly.

When his vision cleared again, Tang Shan found himself in a secluded grove of trees. Not far away was the playground of Notting College, and in front of him stood two figures, one burly and the other alluring.

"Greetings to seniors Xiong Jun and Zi Ji."

Tang Shan casually tossed the unconscious man in his arms to the ground and bowed slightly with his hands clasped.

Gu Yue had already introduced Zi Ji to him on the way here. Faced with the endless stream of powerful elders in the Gu Yue family, Tang Shan naturally accepted it without showing any doubt. After all, it's good to be confused sometimes.

hum!

The space trembled slightly again, and a faint silver light spread out beside Tang Shan, like ripples spreading across the surface of water. A crack was torn in the spatial barrier. The fluctuations of teleportation appeared beside Tang Shan, and the next moment, a black-haired girl appeared beside him.

"Tangshan, are you alright?"

Before the figure could fully emerge from the ripples of the spatial teleportation, a crisp sound had already been heard.

The girl's hair still carried a trace of the silver light left by the spatial teleportation. She paused slightly before finally standing firmly beside him.

Even though Gu Yue had already observed that Tang Shan was unharmed using her mental power, she still frowned slightly, looked up and carefully examined his body, and asked softly, since surface injuries are easy to detect, but hidden injuries are much harder to find.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Tang Shan replied with a smile.

Where do we go next?

Having been fully teleported over, Gu Yue casually glanced at the Star Luo Secret Agents on the ground, then looked away, tilted her head, and asked Tang Shan in a lighthearted tone.

Clearly, the sudden attack did not dampen her enthusiasm for traveling the continent, and she remained in high spirits.

"Let's see where this person comes from." Tang Shan lowered his head, touched the middle-aged man's thigh with his toe, felt the impending danger, and turned his gaze towards the Star Luo Empire. His voice was indifferent. "Maybe we can go to the Star Luo Empire for a visit first."

Although Tangshan felt that his moral bottom line was somewhat flexible, he was generally very magnanimous and would not resort to violence at the drop of a hat.

However, this does not mean he is kind-hearted; it simply means there are some things he is unwilling to dwell on.

Trespassing on private property is one thing, given that it's ancient times and security isn't great; Tang Shan could pretend nothing happened. But to attack someone on the road is going too far, not to mention the obvious crisis warnings coming from the direction of the Star Luo Empire, constantly reminding Tang Shan that this isn't over yet.

Seemingly sensing the surging anger and faint killing intent emanating from Tang Shan, Gu Yue blinked her large eyes gently, took half a step forward, tilted her head slightly to look at him, and asked in a caring yet earnest tone, "Should I bring a few more family elders over?"

Tang Shan, whose killing intent was gradually boiling, suddenly froze upon hearing Gu Yue's question. He only wanted to take revenge on the Star Luo Empire, not to destroy the country outright and bring in a few more ferocious beasts; that was unnecessary.

"No need, Senior Xiong-kun and Senior Zi-ji are enough. This time, I still want to rely mainly on my own abilities."

Tang Shan's voice softened slightly, and his gaze turned towards the Star Luo Empire, his eyes becoming increasingly sharp.

Now that he is a Soul Master, it's hard to say whether he can challenge a Soul Douluo. However, he believes that with his current strength, it shouldn't be a problem for him to escape the Star Luo Empire unscathed. The only thing he needs to guard against is the very likely existence of a titled powerhouse from the Star Luo Empire.

The Star Luo Empire must have titled Douluo; otherwise, even if Dugu Bo didn't exert himself, the Star Luo Empire wouldn't have been able to maintain the upper hand in the years of conflict between the two countries.

The presence of Xiong Jun and Zi Ji serves as a safeguard, preventing the Star Luo Empire from disregarding martial ethics and sending some old guys to ambush him, a young man.

He in Tangshan doesn't dream of "not eating beef," but all these years of clinging to powerful figures is in case he suddenly wants to do it one day but doesn't have the ability to do so.

The Star Luo Empire is ultimately a political system with millions of people under its rule. Currently, Miss Angel hasn't yet reached that final position; otherwise, Tang Shan believes that with the power behind him, he could easily have the entire upper echelon of the Star Luo Empire wiped out.

However, without a suitable recipient, the collapse of the Star Luo Empire could result in the displacement of tens of millions of people, which is not what Tangshan wants to see.

"Okay, feel free to tell me what you need."

With her hands behind her back, Gu Yue lightly touched the ground with her toes, swayed slightly, and said nonchalantly with a smile on her face.

She expressed great fondness for the human world, but she hadn't given much thought to the various powerful factions. If Tang Shan wanted, wiping them out entirely wouldn't be out of the question; aside from the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall, which might cause some trouble, the rest were within the Star Dou Beasts' capabilities.

"Senior Xiong Jun, could you please keep an eye on this person for me?"

Tangshan made a request to the man in front of him, who was as tall as an iron tower.

"Okay, if you have anything else to do, go ahead and get back to it."

Xiong Jun's voice was deep and resonant as he readily agreed to Tang Shan's request.

"Gu Yue, are you going to wait here for me for a while, or come with me to Dean Su's place again?"

Tang Shan turned to look at the black-haired girl beside him.

"I'll follow you." Gu Yue replied without hesitation, her voice clear and crisp.

"Alright, let's go then. The fight just now was quite loud, so it's best to explain it to the dean."

As Tang Shan spoke, he walked towards the edge of the grove. Gu Yue quickly followed with light, quick steps, her small hand skillfully and naturally grabbing Tang Shan's sleeve. A faint smile appeared on her cheeks as the two figures gradually disappeared from Xiong Jun and Zi Ji's sight.

……

"Master, I know I was wrong. I was really impulsive just now."

On the playground, Tang San carried Yu Xiaogang on his back, his face full of shame.

After witnessing the fierce battle between Tang Shan and the Star Luo spies, Tang San finally remembered Yu Xiaogang's existence. When he went to find him, he saw open wounds and blood everywhere.

Only then did he realize that he had abandoned his teacher on the ground in order to see Xiao Wu as soon as possible, and Tang San felt extremely guilty.

"It's nothing, this little injury is nothing."

Having already suffered the consequences, Yu Xiaogang could now use this opportunity to control his disciple's heart; he had calculated this very clearly. Therefore, though his voice was weak, he still comforted him, "Xiao San, this isn't your fault. After all, it's your friend who's in danger; some panic is normal."

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words of comfort, Tang San felt a warmth in his heart. Although his teacher had not achieved much academically, his way of dealing with people was still quite worthy of his emulation.

"Teacher, thank you. Brother Yu should have already found a healing-type Soul Master. I'll take you back for treatment now."

As he spoke, Tang San unconsciously quickened his pace.

"Xiao San, don't rush, I have something to do. Can you carry me to the dean's office?"

Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San on the shoulder and revealed another destination.

He hadn't forgotten that young man with three purple and one black spirit rings; he was practically Yu Xiaogang's destined disciple. It was a pity he was suddenly teleported away. However, since he had appeared at Notting Academy, he should have some connection to the school; he could inquire with the dean.

Tang San was taken aback, but Yu Xiaogang was still feeling guilty because of his injury, so he readily agreed, even though it meant he would have to carry Yu Xiaogang up three flights of stairs.

……

"In other words, that Soul Emperor is most likely an assassin sent by another powerful force to kill you, right?"

Inside the dean's office, Su Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table. After listening to Tang Shan's brief explanation, he roughly understood the ins and outs of the battle just now.

"That's right, but they probably never expected that I could actually defeat a Soul Emperor," Tang Shan replied with a smile.

Su Yuan's furrowed brows did not relax. He looked at Tang Shan: "Then what will you do in the future? After this battle, their assessment of your strength will only be higher. And the rumors about the Soul Venerable fighting the Soul Saint, could they be true?"

Tang Shan remained calm and answered in a steady voice, "Dean, you don't need to worry. I have powerful protectors by my side. The reason I didn't make a move before was because I believed that the Soul Emperor was within my capabilities. As for the rumors of the Soul Venerable fighting the Soul Saint a few years ago, they are indeed true."

Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "With a powerful protector, that makes sense. I was a little confused before, wondering how the Crown Prince of Tiandou could not have arranged for someone to protect such a genius. It turns out there was a powerful protector hidden in the shadows."

Tang Shan maintained his smile, offering no rebuttal to Su Yuan's conjecture. After all, he couldn't very well say, "Dean Su, you're overthinking it. I'm not with the Heavenly Prince's men, but rather with two ferocious beasts whose cultivation surpasses 100,000 years."

"Alright, Dean, I'll leave the compensation for the damage to the site here. I plan to leave in a few days; after all, there are still many sights on the mainland that I haven't seen yet."

As he spoke, Tang Shan stood up and pushed a gold card in front of Su Yuan.
