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

Boom!

Like thunder in silence, the clash of wills may not produce obvious signs, but the outcome can be easily discerned from the state of both sides.

Gu Yue remained expressionless, calmly gazing at Bibi Dong, while Bibi Dong swayed, her face paling noticeably, and her grip on the scepter tightened.

Bibi Dong actually suffered a loss in the clash of wills! Many powerful figures who were secretly observing were startled, and their gazes toward Gu Yue changed slightly.

They certainly knew Gu Yue; she was a beautiful woman who followed Tang Shan, the number one genius on the continent. She seemed to have good talent, and her martial soul appeared to be an elemental dragon. As for other things, they didn't know much. It wasn't that Gu Yue wasn't amazing, but rather that Tang Shan was too dazzling.

Everyone knows that Tang Shan directly annihilated the Star Luo Soul Douluo a few years ago, but who noticed that Gu Yue easily dealt with several Soul Saints at that time?

Until today, with Tang Shan absent from the opening ceremony, Gu Yue's talent was only partially revealed when her will clashed with Bibi Dong's.

call!

Having released her pent-up frustration, Bibi Dong didn't glance at Gu Yue again. Instead, she turned her gaze to the Shrek Seven Devils, looking at the ordinary-looking Tang San directly in front of her, and asked calmly, "Are you Yu Xiaogang's disciple?"

Seeing that Bibi Dong had shifted her target, the participating teachers and students also focused their attention on Tang San, who was standing directly in front of the Shrek Academy team. Some of them couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude—serves you right for showing off. Now you've been targeted, haven't you?

This world still judges people by their appearance. The other participating teachers and students felt pity for Gu Yue, but they only wanted to watch the Shrek Seven Devils have fun. Gu Yue's outstanding appearance played a decisive role in this.

However, the schadenfreude in the eyes of the teachers and students quickly disappeared, because Bibi Dong's actions were truly unbelievable.

"Not bad, you have some of your teacher's integrity. Facing power head-on, you rise to the challenge. Very good!" Bibi Dong's approving voice echoed throughout the entire Spirit Plaza, causing everyone's expression to change, including the Templar Knight and Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo who were still kneeling.

What did the Pope just say?! Everyone doubted their ears, but when they looked at each other and saw the confusion and astonishment on each other's faces, they realized that they had heard correctly; the Pope had indeed praised Shrek Academy.

No, how can people be so hypocritical, especially in public? More importantly, she is the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

Gu Yue tilted her head, her silver eyes sweeping over Qian Renxue on the viewing platform, her mockery undisguised.

Qian Renxue's fingers clenched tightly, her face ashen, as she stared at Bibi Dong with eyes that seemed to spit fire. It was fortunate that she was disguised as the Crown Prince of Tiandou; otherwise, such an expression would inevitably attract attention.

Everyone else thought she was angry about Bibi Dong's injustice to the Heaven Dou Empire, but only Qian Renxue knew that she was dissatisfied with Bibi Dong's trampling on the Spirit Hall's reputation and her terrible attitude towards Tang Shan.

What angered Qian Renxue even more was the name Bibi Dong mentioned. Now, because of Yu Xiaogang's apprentice, this woman started to apply double standards. If she continued like this, would she have another nominal godfather in a while?

And Gu Yuena's mocking glance was utterly sarcastic. The other party said nothing, yet it seemed to say everything—Young Master of the Spirit Hall, didn't you say you liked Tang Shan? Is this the Spirit Hall's way of showing affection? Before, it could be explained that the Pope cared about his dignity, but how do you explain everything that happened today?

"The prize for the champion of this competition is a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone. I hope all teams will fully demonstrate their talent and strength, and compete with style." Bibi Dong didn't care about the somewhat strange atmosphere in the audience. After the participating teams stood up, she continued to advance the opening ceremony. Soon, the opening ceremony came to an end: "I hereby declare that the final of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is now open!"

The applause was deafening, but it wasn't as enthusiastic as expected. Instead, it sounded rather sparse. Clearly, everyone was still reeling from Bibi Dong's baffling actions and seemed rather uninterested in the end of the opening ceremony or even the champion's prize.

Bibi Dong scanned the entire audience, her gaze lingering briefly on Qian Renxue on the viewing platform before turning and re-entering the Spirit Hall.

The participating teams left in twos and threes. After Bibi Dong disappeared from sight, they could no longer suppress their excitement and whispered among themselves. Bibi Dong's actions had left them with a great shock.

As for talking about the Pope behind his back and not being afraid of punishment? Please, everyone is talking about this. Do you think the Spirit Hall can keep all the participating teams in Spirit City? The Sun Moon Empire gave a thumbs up.

"Qinghe, this is a great opportunity to strike at the Spirit Hall. We must spread the word about this." Ning Fengzhi was the first to spot the opportunity and said to Qian Renxue with great interest.

He had already told Qian Renxue about his punishment of Ning Rongrong. Given the size of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Qian Renxue quickly restored the harmonious teacher-student relationship with him. As for whether it was truly harmonious, neither of them cared.

Chapter 465 Changes in the Divine Realm

"I know, teacher, don't worry." Qian Renxue forced a smile, her nails digging into her palms: Damn Bibi Dong!

……

The finals officially began, and the matches proceeded one after another. The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was unstoppable, and no one could stand against them, sweeping all the way.

Shrek Academy stumbled and fell. If it weren't for Tang San's repeated bursts of luck that allowed him to forcefully defeat his enemies, they would have been eliminated long ago. However, this series of bursts of luck also made Gu Yue frown. She vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Spirit world

The God of Asura wiped away imaginary cold sweat from his forehead, let out a long breath, and looked at Tang San, who had barely won, through the water mirror. He couldn't help but complain, "Damn it, why does it feel like Tang San's upbringing went wrong? His talent and strength seem inferior to that Yu Tianheng? And how did he even provoke her?"

Shura God's gaze shifted to Gu Yue in the stands, and he fell silent. He knew, of course, that the Silver Dragon King was recuperating in Douluo Continent; in fact, he had secretly let the Silver Dragon King escape.

There was no other way; the dragon race and even the beast race were in such a miserable state that he couldn't bear to see them decline.

However, letting the Silver Dragon King go was all he could do, since he couldn't break the Dragon God's rule that forbade beastmen from becoming gods.

In reality, the divine realm isn't afraid of beastmen becoming gods. After all, many chosen successors to the divine thrones are accompanied by exotic beast companions, and those cultivators chosen by the gods are generally of good character; loyalty and righteousness are fundamental. Preventing their beastmen companions from becoming gods, thus hindering the inheritance of divine positions, is not something the gods would want to see. Our Sea God and the God of Destruction are considered anomalies in the divine realm.

To give the most obvious example, the humans who are favored by the two god-kings, good and evil, have beastmen companions by their side. If they want to become gods, they will definitely be tacitly approved. After all, they are future god-kings. Those who know, know, how things work.

What the divine realm is truly wary of are the former members of the dragon race. If they were to become gods, there might be staunch supporters of the dragon god among them, which would inevitably cause another upheaval in the divine realm.

Rubbing his forehead, the Asura God shifted his gaze away from Gu Yue. He still couldn't understand the mysterious actions of the Dragon God and the Dragon Kings back then—what did it mean to prevent the beast race from becoming gods and being bullied by human gods in the divine realm?

What do you mean I couldn't witness the Dragon God being killed, so I chose to commit suicide?

To this day, the Asura God still doubts whether there is a problem with his memory of that day. Otherwise, how could the Dragon God and even the Dragon Kings who are comparable to God Kings have done such outrageous things in his memory?

That's not even the main point. Recalling the cause of the Dragon God's Calamity, the Asura God had countless complaints he wanted to vent—no, Dragon God, you knew your wife wasn't very strong, so why didn't you help her improve her strength? Why did you force her to bear children and die in childbirth? What? You could help the nine Dragon Kings rise step by step to God King, but you couldn't help your wife?

Also, what about your wife's reincarnation and you having to go with her? When you see your wife's soul, don't you know how to just take her away?

You don't know the methods for preserving souls that even evil soul masters in Douluo Continent possess, right?

Even the Love-Sickness Red, which has only a tiny connection with a minor deity, can reshape a physical body. You don't have such a rare treasure, right?

The God of Asura always felt that something was wrong with the God Realm, which was one of the reasons why he couldn't wait to leave the God Realm.

Fortunately, even though he and goodness and evil have left, life and destruction still exist in the realm of gods. As for the fact that they are husband and wife and will have absolute power in the realm of gods, the Asura God doesn't care at all: After I leave, who cares about the flood?

"Life, destruction, the future of the God Realm rests on your shoulders." Looking back into the depths of the God Realm, the Asura God revealed a bright smile: "I believe that with the two of you working together, you will definitely be able to create a better God Realm."

God of Destruction: Working together?! Sea God Tang San: I don't know, I just expressed a vague sense of foreboding, mainly about the struggle for power and profit, but I didn't expect the Goddess of Life to stand on my side.

His smile faded, and the Asura God looked at the water mirror before him again, his brows furrowing slightly: "It seems I'll have to keep an eye on the lower realm for a while. Fortunately, the handover of matters is almost complete."

Inside the Hall of Destruction, the God of Destruction's eyes were full of thought: Why does Shura seem a bit absent-minded these past few days? Logically speaking, now that he's leaving, shouldn't he be focusing on the handover? Maybe I should go and ask him in a few days.

……

Tang Shan was completely unaware that his influence on Tang San, through the butterfly effect, had caused some changes in the God Realm. Now, Tang San had just awakened from comprehending the rules and had taken his first step on the path to godhood.

The number of multi-line thinking is linked to Tangshan's own rank. Tangshan is now a seven-ring Soul Saint, so he can split into seven virtual consciousnesses. Including the main consciousness, his efficiency in comprehending the rules is eight times that of others.

Emerging from the state of comprehending the rules, Tang Shan opened his eyes, his gaze dim. Comprehending the rules is different from cultivation; it consumes a great deal of mental energy. Remembering Gu Yue's advice, Tang Shan deliberately stopped after reaching his own limit.

"Why did you take so long to comprehend it?" A clear voice came from behind. Only then did Tang Shan notice that Gu Yue was staring at him curiously with her bright silver eyes. He had been too tired to notice that she was sitting right in front of him.

Of course, this is also because Gu Yue did not pose any threat to him. If it were any other powerful person, he would automatically exit the state of enlightenment when he was threatened.

"How long have I been trying to understand this?" Tang Shan yawned, his eyes revealing his exhaustion, and shook his head as he asked.

"It's been almost ten days. I originally thought you could only comprehend it for five more days." Gu Yue leaned forward slightly and hoisted Tang Shan onto her shoulder. A faint fragrance wafted into her nose, relaxing her weary mind.

Tang Shan didn't resist and let Gu Yue carry him to the bed. He wasn't a big iron block. With the Silver Dragon King's physique, carrying him was no different from carrying a chick.

"It must be the effect of willpower. My willpower is inherently compatible with the rules of power. Besides, mind and will are inseparable. It's normal for a strong willpower to lead to a strong mind." Lying on the soft bed, Tang Shan was completely relaxed and answered Gu Yue's question in a lazy manner.

"So willpower has such wonderful uses!" Gu Yue was slightly surprised. Her hands didn't stop moving, but Tang Shan gradually felt that something was wrong.

He barely managed to lift his eyelids, looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him, and asked, somewhat bewildered, "Gu Yue, what are you doing?"

"You know perfectly well why I'm taking your clothes off, aren't I?" Gu Yue answered matter-of-factly, as if it were something completely ordinary.

Tang Shan sensed something was off about the atmosphere and instinctively tried to struggle, but the girl slapped him on the chest: "You've been cultivating for ten days, and I haven't been able to sleep for ten days. Now lie down properly and be a good mattress."

Tang Shan breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that Gu Yue was possessed by Qian Xunji and wanted to become a "Hotel Douluo" or something. But then again, Gu Yue's current strength is that of a Soul Saint, so the title "Hotel Douluo" doesn't seem appropriate. How about "Hotel Soul Saint" or "Hotel God King"?

As her thoughts drifted away and her breathing became even, Gu Yue, who had taken off her Tangshan shirt, looked at the young man's strong upper body and couldn't help but swallow, her ear tips turning slightly red.

Gu Yue naturally understood the unspoken meaning hidden in Tang Shan's bewildered tone. She really didn't want to do anything else; she just wanted to snuggle in Tang Shan's arms and feel his presence.

Her beautiful profile pressed against Tang Shan's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, Gu Yue's breathing gradually evened out: Don't worry, you'll be mine sooner or later. As her last thought faded, Gu Yue drifted off to sleep, but she never expected that her final thought before falling asleep would come true so badly.

……

"Today it's Tiandou Royal Academy versus Xingluo Royal Academy fighting. Boss Dai, do you want to go watch?" Ma Hongjun knocked on Dai Mubai's door and asked loudly.

"Let's go." Dai Mubai had obviously made plans beforehand. Dressed in casual clothes, he opened the door.

"Handsome!" Ma Hongjun gave a thumbs up, praising without reservation. The members of the Star Luo royal family were indeed well-off. Even in casual clothes, Dai Mubai exuded a sense of nobility and elegance, and with his double pupils, he also possessed a touch of devilish charm.

When the two arrived on the first floor, they ran into Oscar, who was about to leave. The three exchanged a few words and discovered that they were going to the same place, so they decided to travel together.

"Little Oscar, who from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy have you taken a fancy to? Is it the Zhu sisters or Gu Yue?" Ma Hongjun asked cheekily, sidling up to Oscar and nudging his waist with his elbow.

"Fatty, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm going to scout out the enemy's situation. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle." Oscar blushed and tried to argue, spouting nonsense about how scouting the enemy wasn't about looking at pretty girls, and that the girls were his focus because they were the core of the team. The atmosphere among the three was filled with laughter.

"Little Oscar, tell me, who exactly is it?" Dai Mubai put his arm around Oscar's shoulder and asked with a smile.

Ma Hongjun grinned slyly and put his arm around Oscar's neck without saying a word, but his attitude was clear.

Seeing that he had no way out, Oscar had no choice but to surrender: "Okay, okay, I'll talk, alright?"

"Who is it?" Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun asked in unison, very curious about which one their brother had taken a liking to.

“Ye Lingling.” Oscar admitted frankly, while Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were somewhat confused: “Who is Ye Lingling?”

"She's that healing-type Soul Master, with the Martial Soul Nine-Hearted Begonia." Oscar mentioned Nine-Hearted Begonia, and Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai finally understood who he was talking about.

"Is it that girl who hardly played a role?" Ma Hongjun suddenly realized.

"There's nothing we can do. The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was just too strong this time. Almost no one got hurt." Oscar shrugged helplessly.

"I thought you had designs on those three?" Dai Mubai said with some regret, clicking his tongue.

“Boss Dai, I know my place. I’m not good enough for those three exceptional women, especially since one of them is your fiancée.” Oscar said with a wry smile.

"The matter of my fiancée is all in the past." Dai Mubai was clearly a little down, but he quickly rallied, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit: "But I will not give up. I will let Tang Shan know that my Dai family's White Tiger Martial Soul is not a coward."

"Brother Dai, who do you think will win this match?" Ma Hongjun asked tentatively.

Both the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Star Luo Royal Academy have some grudges against Dai Mubai. One is his fiancée who will never return, and the other is his elder brother whom he wants to kill. It's a difficult choice.

"Of course, we hope the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy wins!" Dai Mubai's straightforward answer surprised Oscar and Ma Hongjun. Facing their questioning gazes, he answered clearly, "I'm not stupid. If I hadn't run away, Zhu Qing would have been on my side, while Big Brother has always been the enemy. Why would I need to choose?" His voice trailed off, and his expression was somewhat dazed. "Little Oscar, Fatty, tell me, if I hadn't chosen to run away back then, or if I had taken her with me, would Tang Shan and Zhu Qing still exist?"

The three fell silent, the atmosphere somber, a point that neither Ma Hongjun nor Oscar could answer.

……

Inside the rest area of ​​the participating teams at Wuhun Square, Tang Shan was completely unaware that he was being slandered again. He and Zhu Zhuqing were perfectly innocent, and nothing had happened, but in the mouths of the three Shrek Academy members, it was as if everything that should have happened and shouldn't have happened had already occurred.

"Shanzi!" A familiar voice called out. Tang Shan turned his head and saw Su Yuntao leading a beautiful red-haired woman towards him from a distance, waving at him.

"Big brother, I'm here." Tang Shan stood up and greeted him with a smile, while Dugu Yan and Gu Yue beside him got up and followed.

As soon as the three moved, the other teams in the rest area cast curious glances at them. Not to mention that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy itself was extremely eye-catching, Gu Yue and Dugu Yan alone had already become the focus of everyone's attention, not to mention Tang Shan as well.

Tang Shan, the number one prodigy on the continent, has long been a household name, but very few people have actually seen him. This time, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament marks his official debut on the continent.

Of course, it was merely observation; no one was so tactless as to disturb them. The moment Tang Shan directly killed the Soul Douluo, he was automatically categorized as a genius and elevated to the ranks of the strong. One should maintain due respect when facing the strong.
