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

"I told Xiao San to move all these books away, but he absolutely refused." Upon seeing Flander arrive, Yu Xiaogang, like a child seeing his parent, immediately raised his voice and hurriedly complained.

Before Tang San could speak, Xiao Wu retorted angrily, "Third Brother has already moved so many books, but you keep emphasizing handling them gently and not to mess up the order. You're also giving nonsensical instructions. Why don't you move them yourself?"

Seeing that Xiao Wu was still arguing with him, Yu Xiaogang became even angrier and started to argue with her. Xiao Wu was not to be outdone and used her sharp tongue to make Yu Xiaogang's anger rise to his head.

P.S.: Transitional chapter, 2000 words

Chapter 389 Changes

After listening for a long time, Flander finally pieced together the general situation. To put it simply, Yu Xiaogang was unwilling to discard the books in his study and asked Tang San to take them all. During the process of moving the books, Yu Xiaogang gave nonsensical instructions, causing a lot of trouble. If Tang San made any slight mistake, he would be scolded. How could Tang San put up with his temper? He simply shrugged and refused to move the books.

"Xiao Gang, where's your storage soul tool? It should be able to hold quite a few books, right?" Flander asked Yu Xiao Gang.

“It’s already full. These are all extras. I told Xiao San to use a storage soul tool to store them, but he just wouldn’t agree.” Yu Xiaogang frowned, very dissatisfied with Tang San’s defiance of his authority.

Flander turned his questioning gaze to Tang San.

"I also have things in my storage soul tool, so these books simply can't fit them all," Tang San explained calmly, his tone devoid of any emotion, as he faced Flander's gaze.

The storage soul tool contained all sorts of Tang Clan hidden weapons that he had painstakingly crafted over the years, and the remaining space was completely insufficient to hold all of Yu Xiaogang's books.

If Yu Xiaogang had a proper conversation with him, Tang San might have been willing to free up some storage space. However, judging from Yu Xiaogang's attitude just now, Tang San almost immediately gave up the idea of ​​making room for Yu Xiaogang.

"What can you put in a storage soul tool? Take all those things out, and you'll have space for books, won't you?" Yu Xiaogang said sarcastically, showing no respect for Tang San. "You should know that this storage soul tool was a gift from me."

Listening to the two arguing, Flander was at his wit's end. To prevent them from continuing their fight, he unleashed his soul power without hesitation. The terrifying aura pressed down on them, and the scene instantly fell silent.

"Alright, whether you're arguing about moving the books or about storage space, stop arguing. I have a large storage space, and I'll take these books with me." Flander's voice deepened, carrying a hint of authority.

"Hmph!" Tang San and Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly at the same time, turning their heads to the side, clearly their patience with each other had reached its limit.

With Flander's addition, packing became much smoother. Xiao Wu quietly followed Tang San, the two whispering to each other. Yu Tianheng stood silently with his arms crossed. Yu Xiaogang, with a sour, zombie-like face, took out a book from his storage soul tool and pretended to read it, but his shifty gaze made it easy to tell that his mind was not on the book at all.

Flander looked at Tang San and Yu Xiaogang with a complicated expression. He didn't want Yu Xiaogang and Tang San to fall out, after all, Tang San was the only hope to prove his good brother theory. If they really fell out, who could help his good brother realize his dream?

The group remained silent as they boarded the carriage. The whips cracked, striking the air with a crisp sound, and the wheels began to turn, heading towards the city gates of Nottingham.

The burly figure was shrouded in a black robe, with a messy beard and dim yellow eyes. Who would have thought that this disheveled man was the Haotian Douluo who was once famous throughout the continent?

Tang Hao watched the carriage disappear into the distance, standing there for a long time with a silent look in his eyes. He often paid attention to Tang San and was very familiar with his recent situation and cultivation. He had no objection to Yu Xiaogang forcing Tang San to absorb an animal attribute soul ring. After all, Yu Xiaogang was just an extraterrestrial who forcibly seized his son's soul. It was enough for Tang San to increase his soul power to the point of adding a second soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer. As for the development of Blue Silver Grass, it was never within his consideration.

"My good son! Don't let your father down! If you don't work hard in your cultivation, that little rabbit might be in danger." Tang Hao had naturally discovered Xiao Wu's true identity long ago, and had also vaguely sensed some shady dealings between her and Tang San. He certainly wouldn't waste such a generous gift that had been delivered to his door.

If Tang San cultivates diligently, Xiao Wu's only purpose will be to become Tang San's spirit ring and spirit bone. However, if he doesn't cultivate properly, Xiao Wu can still face some risks and become a driving force for Tang San's strength improvement.

……

Tiandou City, Crown Prince's Residence

Xue Qinghe sat upright behind his desk, handling official business. His fingers flew across the page, and he finished revising each memorial.

These memorials were given to her by Emperor Xueye to handle, allowing her to get a head start on some less important imperial affairs and prepare for her future succession.

Boom!

A crisp knock sounded on the door. Xue Qinghe paused slightly, then quickly continued with her work, simply replying, "Come in!"

The door opened with a click, and Zhu Zhuyun, dressed in a form-fitting long dress that perfectly accentuated her alluring curves—a slender waist with full, shapely breasts—walked gracefully to the table, carrying a small round plate. She deliberately bent over, revealing her rounded shoulders and neck and a large expanse of her fair chest, before slowly placing the plate on the table.

"Your Highness, you've been working for quite some time. Please take a break," Zhu Zhuyun said softly, her eyes sparkling, her voice carrying an innate gentleness.

Xue Qinghe continued working with her hands, glancing up at the woman beside her. Her gaze met a deep abyss, but her expression remained unchanged.

“I’ve already said that you’re just pretending to be my Crown Princess, and you have no other requests. Such service is completely unnecessary.”

Zhu Zhuyun moved nimbly, her fiery and alluring body pressed against Xue Qinghe's back, her slender, fair arms quietly wrapping around her neck. Her breath was fragrant, and her warm breath rushed to her ear: "Your Highness, do you really not want to eat me?" Her voice was soft and seductive, like a cat's claws scratching at the heart. If it were any other man, his blood would have already boiled and his head would have been on fire.

"These methods won't work on me. You should just go do what you were doing." Xue Qinghe said calmly, unmoved by Zhu Zhuyun's temptation.

"What a blockhead." Zhu Zhuyun pouted and complained with slight dissatisfaction. Just as she stood up, the door was opened again.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was young, she had already displayed the astonishing talent unique to the Zhu family. Her figure was slender yet voluptuous, strikingly beautiful, with exquisite curves. Even at such a young age, she possessed a captivating beauty, and her demeanor was aloof and elegant. When Xue Qinghe first saw her size, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch. "Isn't the Zhu family a bit outrageous?" he thought.

Zhu Zhuqing, who entered without greeting, had a tense expression and her eyes scanned the surroundings warily. Only after seeing that Xue Qinghe and her sister were dressed normally and had not done anything inappropriate did the tension on her face slowly dissipate, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your sister is here to see you. Go back first," Xue Qinghe said calmly, glancing meaningfully at Zhu Zhuyun.

"Okay!" Since Zhu Zhuqing was present, Zhu Zhuyun no longer displayed her previous charming demeanor. She chuckled and agreed, took a few quick steps, took Zhu Zhuqing's small hand, and walked out of the study, closing the door behind her.

Seeing the door completely closed, Xue Qinghe put down the memorial in her hand, her expression rather strange: "My Crown Princess, you probably didn't expect your sister..."

written request for leave

As the title suggests, I'm adjusting my state.

Chapter 390 Elemental Academy

Yuantian City, adjacent to Tiandou City, is one of the core cities of the Tiandou Empire, and the famous Three of the Five Elements Academy is located here.

Thunder Academy is backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Elephant Armor Academy is backed by the Elephant Armor Clan. Only the three elemental academies of Heavenly Water, Blazing Fire, and Divine Wind, which are relatively weak and do not have particularly strong backgrounds, have banded together to jointly control Yuantian City.

Although Shenfeng Academy is a high-level soul master academy like Tiandou Royal Academy, its teaching staff is much weaker. The highest-ranking teacher is only a Soul King, and as for Soul Emperors, they are already part of the academy's management and have no teaching duties to perform.

"Big brother, why did you come to Shenfeng Academy to be a teacher? Your martial soul doesn't seem to have much to do with the wind element, does it?" In a small pavilion at Shenfeng Academy, Tang Shan looked at Su Yuntao across from him with a hint of curiosity.

"It was an accident, purely an accident. When I was wandering around, I saved the life of the dean's grandson. The old man saw that my martial soul was somewhat similar to his grandson's, and that I had a good understanding of wolf-type martial souls, so he wanted to recruit me into Shenfeng Academy to become a teacher."

Having traveled the mainland for so many years, I was feeling a bit weary. Unable to refuse the old man's earnest invitation, I simply accepted. After all, he had said I could leave whenever I wanted.

Wolf-type martial spirit, Divine Wind Academy. Tang Shan raised an eyebrow, vaguely guessing the identity of the grandson of the Divine Wind Academy's dean.

If he wasn't mistaken, that person was most likely Feng Xiaotian, a famous sycophant in Douluo Continent and one of the few innate individuals with full soul power in the first game.

"So, brother, what do you teach here?" Tang Shan didn't ask about anything related to Feng Xiaotian. So what if the other party was exceptionally talented? He and the other party were no longer on the same level.

"I mainly teach the method of deep integration of martial spirit and practical combat. Don't worry, Shanzi, I haven't taught internal martial arts."

Tang Shan said nonchalantly, "Brother, it doesn't matter if you spread it around. It won't have much impact on me or His Highness the Crown Prince." As time went on, Tang Shan became less and less concerned about whether his internal martial arts techniques were being leaked.

With his internal martial arts cultivation at the Divine Realm level, excluding those close to him, it's hard to say whether anyone in the Douluo Continent could reach his current level even if given another hundred years. After all, breaking through to the Dan Jin and Gang Jin levels is extremely difficult—the former requires comprehending suppression, and the latter requires tapping into the body's full potential; neither of these can be achieved easily. Not to mention reaching the Divine Realm without decay.

As for the method of deep fusion of martial souls, Tang Shan didn't care about that at all. It's true that he proposed the theory at the time, but the subsequent research, development and even complete creation all depended on Su Yuntao. If the other party wanted to spread it, he naturally wouldn't stop him.

hum!

A silver light shimmered, and ripples spread across the space around Tangshan as Gu Yue stepped out from within them.

Several years have passed, and Gu Yue, who was once somewhat naive, has matured completely, revealing her stunning beauty.

Her long, shimmering silver hair flowed like a silver river down to her hips; her silver eyes held starlight, sparkling and clear; her perfectly defined brows and eyes were flawless, her skin was as smooth as jade, and her aura was cool and ethereal, so beautiful that it would leave anyone breathless at first sight. Her sharp, tailored outfit perfectly outlined her exquisite figure, her charm ethereal and captivating.

Gu Yue naturally pulled out the chair next to Tang Shan and sat down, wrapping her arms around Tang Shan's right arm, a genuine smile appearing on her lips.

Su Yuntao was momentarily stunned, then turned his searching gaze to Tang Shan, the meaning in his eyes clear: Who is she?

Tang Shan said with a smile, "Brother, she is Gu Yue. She disguised her appearance when we met before. This is her true face."

Su Yuntao?! Of course Gu Yue remembered her. When he was being chased by the evil soul master, there was an ordinary girl who was by his little brother's side. She was plain-looking and nothing special. But what about Gu Yue now? It's no exaggeration to say that she's a femme fatale, and she's a scourge to the country. It's really hard for him to believe.

"You two are together?" After a long while, Su Yuntao finally accepted this huge shock and changed the subject, asking jokingly.

Tang Shan did not avoid the question and nodded without hesitation. Gu Yue's eyes were somewhat unfocused, her ear tips were slightly red, and her arms around Tang Shan tightened involuntarily.

Tang Shan's positive response slightly surprised Su Yuntao. He knew Tang Shan well and knew he wasn't the type to philander. Since he answered so seriously, it meant that this girl named Gu Yue was most likely his future sister-in-law. However, recalling Gu Yue's stunning beauty, Su Yuntao wasn't surprised. So charming, let alone men, even some women would be tempted. His younger brother wasn't stupid; he certainly wouldn't miss out.

When the topic of relationships came up, Tang Shan couldn't help but think of Notting Cheng's past. He had always kept in mind the entanglement between Su Yuntao and Sisi, but he had never had a suitable opportunity to ask about it. Now that the brothers had reunited and the atmosphere was just right, he naturally took the opportunity to ask, "Don't just talk about me, brother, have you had any new developments these past few years?"

Su Yuntao's expression flickered with unease for a moment before he shook his head without hesitation: "No, how could that be? I've been wholeheartedly immersed in cultivation all these years, where would I have time for romance?"

boom!

Flames erupted, engulfing everything in their path, and the wooden door detached from its frame, crashing straight into the courtyard.

Could it be that my brother's bad luck has brought him trouble again? Before Tang Shan could finish his thought, a fiery voice came from the flickering flames at the door.

"Su Yuntao, what do you mean by avoiding me every day? Are you afraid I'll eat you up?"

Fiery red hair, a soul ring configuration of two yellow and one purple, a flickering flame-like figure behind her, and the uniform of Blazing Fire Academy. All these factors combined to confirm the girl's identity at the gate: Feng Xiaotian's beloved, the genius of Blazing Fire Academy—Huo Wu.

Tang Shan looked at his elder brother meaningfully. Su Yuntao's expression was stiff. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain but not knowing where to start.

……

Although Yuantian City isn't as bustling as Tiandou City, it's home to the Three Elements Academy, and the surrounding scenery is still quite beautiful. Many cultivation environments are natural recreational spots, open to the public on the outside and used for cultivation on the inside.

After bidding farewell to Su Yuntao, Tang Shan and Gu Yue arrived here. They explored the city at various points, and this should be their final stop. After resting, they would return to Tiandou City to prepare for Tang Shan's sixth spirit ring.

Thinking back to what Su Yuntao had told Tang Shan after calming Huo Wu down, Tang Shan's lips still twitched uncontrollably every time he recalled it. There was no way around it; it was just too shocking.

P.S.: There's one more chapter coming later, but I'm feeling extremely weak, so there's nothing I can do.

Chapter 391 Gu Yue Makes a Decision

"Gu Yue, how did my brother and the others get to that point?" Every time Tang Shan recalled the absurd twists and turns Su Yuntao recounted, he couldn't help but complain. The relationship between the three was beyond what the word "chaotic" could describe, and the bottom line of the simps really opened his eyes.

Splash!

Beside her flowed a crystal-clear stream, its water so clear and bright that even the smooth pebbles and delicate water plants on the bottom were clearly visible. A gentle breeze rippled across the surface. Her fair feet touched the cool pebbles, her delicate skin brushing against them. The water barely reached her ankles. As she lifted her toes, droplets of water slid slowly down her pale toes, refracting the sunlight and sparkling like tiny, translucent pearls.

The young girl moved with light, graceful steps, her toes lightly touching the water's surface, creating ripples. Hearing Tang Shan's question, Gu Yue lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then gently shook her head: "I don't know!"

The matter between Su Yuntao and Huo Wu was not as complicated as imagined, or rather, it was very old-fashioned and boring.

As everyone knows, Su Yuntao has had a run of bad luck in recent years; he's either in trouble or on his way to one. These continuous accidents easily drag others into the mess. Needless to say, when Huo Wu had an accident, Su Yuntao unexpectedly came to her rescue, leaving a deep impression.

According to the normal course of events, the next step would be to meet again and then fall in love.

Although Su Yuntao and Huo Wu seem to be quite far apart in age, that's not a problem. Strength can cover everything, and Su Yuntao's strength is not bad at all; he is now a Soul King.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and a twist occurred, drawing Su Yuntao into the heart of Douluo Continent's love story—a flawed love triangle: she likes him, he likes her, he doesn't like her, and she doesn't like him.

Su Yuntao was the first to notice that Huo Wu's gaze was strange, so he took the initiative to distance himself from her. However, this only emboldened Huo Wu to take advantage of him. Su Yuntao's student, Feng Xiaotian, was devastated to discover that his childhood sweetheart and goddess, whom he had been pursuing, was actively pursuing his teacher.

To be honest, Su Yuntao was prepared to be kicked out of the academy or even hunted down by the dean of Shenfeng Academy. After all these years, he had a general idea of ​​his troublesome nature. But things turned out differently than he expected.

That day, Feng Xiaotian found Su Yuntao and solemnly said, "Teacher, please take good care of Huowu and make sure she doesn't get hurt."

"Aren't you going to pursue her anymore?" To be honest, Su Yuntao was only superficially puzzled at the time. He just didn't understand why Feng Xiaotian would give up on his own initiative. At that time, he hadn't developed feelings for Huo Wu yet.

Feng Xiaotian's answer nearly made Su Yuntao's jaw drop, and also deeply impressed Tang Shan with the man's magnanimity.

"Teacher, I do like Huo Wu, but since she doesn't like me, I won't force her. There is a kind of love called letting go. As long as she is happy, I will be satisfied."

After saying this, Feng Xiaotian turned and left, immersing himself in cultivation. Both the creation of his own soul skills and the improvement of his soul power cultivation were progressing by leaps and bounds. According to his cultivation speed, he had a chance to appear as a Soul King in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament two years later.

Tang Shan didn't consider Feng Xiaotian's soul power level during the future competition. What surprised him was Feng Xiaotian's choice. He didn't expect there to be someone who would say "If you are well, then it is a sunny day." No wonder he was a famous sycophant in Douluo Continent.

"Gu Yue, do you think my older brother will accept it later?" Tang Shan walked along the stream and took the girl's hand.
