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

Tang Shan remained calm.

"Big brother, you're about to participate in the Soul Battle. I think you could try challenging a Soul Master who's a higher level."

Su Yuntao's smile vanished instantly, and she said irritably, "Trying to fight a Soul Master above your level? My Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Hammer or the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, what are you dreaming about?"

Tang Shan saw that he had successfully changed the subject, but just smiled and didn't say anything more.

The second ring of the millennium, a challenge beyond one's level, may not necessarily result in defeat. It should be noted that not all Soul Masters possess a millennium-old Soul Skill.

"Hello, to participate in the Soul Battle, you need to pay a registration fee of 10 Gold Soul Coins."

As I approached the registration counter, the staff member greeted me with a smile.

Su Yuntao took out ten gold soul coins from her soul tool and placed them on the counter.

"Okay, may I ask about your specific Soul Master rank, and whether you use your real name or a code name?"

"Code name: Lone Wolf, Grand Soul Master".

"Please release your martial spirit and soul ring for verification."

The other party was very polite, and Su Yuntao did not refuse.

With his martial spirit possessing him, a ferocious aura erupted from his body, and his muscles bulged.

However, what's even more captivating than his imposing presence are the two spirit rings that slowly emerge from beneath his feet.

Yellow and purple!

While it's rare to see a first soul ring every hundred years in the Great Soul Arena, it's not exactly uncommon.

Thousand-year soul rings are often seen in Soul Master level competitions, but what if a person only has soul rings of these two colors under their feet?

Logically speaking, releasing a martial soul to verify its level is very common in the Great Soul Arena and should not attract much attention. However, the color of the soul ring under Su Yuntao's feet was really too eye-catching.

The first one is a hundred-year soul ring, and the second one is a thousand-year soul ring, which is really eye-catching.

"Another verifier of the master's theory."

Someone shouted something, which immediately caused a commotion.

Chapter 31 Su Yuntao's Fighting Spirit: Opponent's Stationary Output

The mention of "the verifier of the master's theory" immediately sparked a heated debate within the arena.

As time went by, the "Master's" influence had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of Soul Masters, especially after his theories were proven effective one by one and showed extraordinary results, the Master's status was pushed to an unparalleled peak.

The second ring of the millennium—this achievement has indeed been accomplished by some people on the mainland in recent years, but it is mostly hearsay, and many soul masters have never been able to witness it in person. Now, the appearance of Su Yuntao is undoubtedly strong evidence for the master's theory.

Tang Shan and Su Haichao, who did not register with Su Yuntao, were somewhat taken aback as they mingled in the crowd.

At this moment, they seemed to have a relatively deep understanding of the master's influence.

"Shanzi, isn't this a bit too much?"

Su Hai, in a low voice, inquired about Tangshan.

Tangshan did not expect that Su Yuntao's second ring in a thousand years would cause such a big reaction.

"It's alright, no matter how big the scene is, it's fine. It will be more advantageous for Brother Tao to announce his identity as a Spirit Hall Soul Master after he has made a name for himself."

Although Tangshan was somewhat out of control of the current situation, it quickly made adjustments.

First of all, the method of absorbing the second ring of the millennium has long been popular on the mainland, which can basically eliminate the hidden danger that this point brings to Su Yuntao;

The remaining hidden risk is the genius talent required to achieve the second stage of the millennium.

However, this is not true—Su Yuntao is now eighteen years old, yet still a Great Soul Master, due to her innate talent...

A set of secret techniques, a powerful future mid-level expert slightly stronger than an ordinary Soul Master, coupled with the future reputation and the backing of the Spirit Hall,

It is basically certain that Tangshan has eliminated almost all potential security risks that his elder brother might encounter in the future.

"Just let my older brother participate in Soul Fighting as normal."

Having made his plans in mind, Tang Shan said this to Su Haichao.

Su Haichao nodded slightly and used a secret telepathic method to inform Su Yuntao to continue participating in the Soul Battle.

Feeling somewhat lost and confused by the crowd surrounding her, Su Yuntao finally found her direction after hearing her father's instructions.

"I want to participate in the Great Soul Master Battle."

The waiter, recovering from the shock of the second ring road, put on his signature smile again.

"Please follow me."

As she spoke, the waitress took the initiative to lead the way, but her frequent glances at Su Yuntao revealed that she was only maintaining a calm exterior while her inner turmoil was difficult to quell.

"I heard that a Soul Master with the second ring of a thousand-year-old is going to fight in the Soul Battle?"

"real or fake?"

"It seems to be true, I just finished registering."

"Sigh, yet another genius."

"That's hard to say. He's already an adult and still only a Great Soul Master. He might just be an ordinary Soul Master, or perhaps just a lowly one?"

"So, does that mean I can also try for the second stage of the Millennium Ring by tempering my body?"

"You should lose weight first."

……

Similar discussions were endless. Tangshan listened carefully to a few of them, some marveling at the difficulty of the second ring of the millennium, and others praising the master's brilliant theory.

"Let's go see how Yun Tao performs."

Upon hearing Su Haichao's suggestion, Tang Shan nodded in agreement and headed towards a Soul-Dividing Arena.

It was a circular arena about fifty meters in diameter, with two long walkways extending to both ends. Rows of seats stacked upwards, completely framing the entire Soul Arena.

At this moment, the battle spirit is activated.

Layers of noise echoed in the relatively enclosed space, and the lively atmosphere made the air seem to heat up a bit.

"Both sides in this battle are no ordinary individuals; the upcoming fight will definitely be a clash of titans!"

The host, holding a megaphone, stood in the center of the arena and announced the news in an impassioned tone.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the venue became even more heated.

"Next, please allow me to introduce the two contestants in this battle."

The host raised his left hand high, pointing to the left-side passage.

"One of the contestants is just one win away from advancing to the Bronze Soul Fighter. He has won several consecutive battles and possesses two hundred-year-old Soul Rings and the Martial Soul Iron Dragon Blade—Soul Master Blade Dragon!"

Ouch!

The intense noise reverberated throughout the arena, demonstrating that the opponent was by no means an unknown figure in this grand arena of martial arts.

Amidst enthusiastic cheers, a middle-aged man with a well-proportioned build and a face covered in crisscrossing scars slowly walked out of the passage. He spread his arms wide, fully enjoying the cheers and attention from the crowd.

"And Daolong's opponent is a newcomer."

The host paused slightly, precisely timing the stargazing, and before the audience could even finish speaking, the host launched into a speech.

"A newcomer who possesses the second ring of the millennium!"

The entire arena fell into a brief silence, followed by an even more surging wave of sound that swept from the stands to the ring.

Wearing a wolf-head mask, Su Yuntao walked out step by step from the passage to the right of the host.

"The lone wolf, possessing the second ring of the millennium, is a powerful testament to the Master Theory! He has undoubtedly proven to us that even with mediocre talent, one can still obtain a powerful soul ring by relying on the 'Master Theory'!"

Whether this host is the top host of the Great Soul Arena or not, his control over people's hearts and his ability to mobilize the audience truly opened Tang Shan's eyes.

"I hereby announce that the Lone Wolf versus the Blade Dragon battle has officially begun!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the host leaped backward and jumped off the stage.

When he entered the arena, Daolong was arrogant, but when he actually got into battle, he was surprisingly calm.

"The Soul Arena really knows how to arrange things. They immediately paired you with an opponent who has two hundred-year-old soul rings. It's impossible that they didn't specifically pick this for your older brother."

Su Haichao sat on the stands, feeling the din of the spectators around him.

"They only encounter a Soul Master with a second ring every thousand years. It would be strange if they didn't seize the opportunity to create momentum."

Tang Shan was not surprised by this, and even suspected that if there hadn't been a rush of time, he might have directly arranged for Su Yuntao to participate in the main Soul Arena. After all, with such a huge amount of popularity, if she could really win, it would be a lot of gold soul coins.

A long, iron-gray sword suddenly appeared in Dao Long's hand, with a small snake coiled around its blade, and two yellow, hundred-year soul rings rose from beneath his feet.

Su Yuntao, who had also completed the Martial Soul Possession, was stunned for a moment: Wasn't the Martial Soul supposed to be the Iron Dragon Blade? How come the blade is wrapped in snakes?

While Su Yuntao was lost in thought, Dao Long was also filled with shock. Although he had received prior notification from the Great Soul Arena, he still couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the yellow and purple soul rings at the feet of the masked man opposite him.

Dao Long was the first to regain his senses. He channeled his soul power into his legs, instantly increasing his speed and rapidly closing the distance with Su Yuntao.

The first soul ring beneath his feet lit up, and two white blade energies burst forth from his martial soul, crossing in the air to form a cross.

First Soul Skill - Blade Qi: Activates the Soul Ring to release blade qi to attack enemies. The number of blade qi increases by one for each breakthrough in rank, up to a maximum of nine.

Run away!

Faced with the oncoming attack, Su Yuntao activated her soul ring without hesitation. Feeling the surge in speed and power, she dodged the blade energy in a flash, leaned slightly, and strode towards the Blade Dragon.

What a great speed!

Dao Long felt a chill run down his spine and activated his first soul ring again, unleashing two more sword energies.

Tang Shan watched the battle below the stage, his expression gradually losing control.

No, you're just standing there chopping? How much movement are you going to make?

Su Yuntao continued to dodge with ease, but gradually realized something was wrong: why was the opponent just standing still and attacking without moving?

"You forced me to do this."

Seeing that his soul skills were failing to hit the opponent, Dao Long snorted coldly, and the second soul ring under his feet lit up.

Second Soul Skill - Blade Net: Releases a large number of tiny blade energies, with a certain locking effect.

Several foot-long blades of energy emerged from the iron-gray broadsword and shot towards Su Yuntao.

Seeing that the blade aura had shrunk in size but was otherwise largely the same as before, Su Yuntao dared not be careless—after all, it was an attack released from her second soul skill.

Is it ignoring defense, or a compressed explosion? Is it a probability-based instant kill, or a guaranteed hit?

Recalling the terrifying nature of the rule-based or special-effect-bearing soul skills that his younger brother had mentioned, Su Yuntao's expression turned solemn.

Indeed, coming to the Great Soul Arena to participate in the Soul Battle was the right decision; it truly allows one to hone their skills.

Soul power surged rapidly within the body, providing a comprehensive boost to the body.

Su Yuntao ducked to dodge the blade's energy, without turning around to check the actual effect of the attack.

The outcome of a battle often happens in the blink of an eye. Regardless of the strength of the opponent's soul skill, the primary goal when facing an opponent or enemy is to defeat or even kill them.

Remembering her father's teachings, Su Yuntao suddenly unleashed her power, increasing her speed once again. Her sharp claws shot out, viciously grabbing towards Daolong's chest.

Snapped!

With a clang of bones, immense power slammed into the sword dragon, which was instinctively raising its sword in defense, causing it to stumble backward.

Just as Su Yuntao was about to press her advantage, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively bent over to dodge.

Whoosh!

A series of sword energies swept across his head, then changed direction and attacked Su Yuntao again.

That's it? Su Yuntao felt he had been too cautious. He gave his opponent no more chances and, relying on the Ming Jin he had mastered after his breakthrough, slapped Daolong off the stage with several consecutive claw attacks. As for those sword energies with tracking effects, Brother Tao said that they could be dodged with a little effort.

……

Woo-la-la! Woo-la-la!

A gray cloth bag was tossed up and down by one hand, and the crisp sound of gold soul coins clattering came from it.

"Hey, you guys think this money is too easy to make."

Su Yuntao felt the weight of the gold soul coin in her hand and was very satisfied.

Originally, the reward for winning the Iron Soul Battle was only ten gold soul coins, but the Great Soul Arena was unexpectedly generous, perhaps wanting to use Su Yuntao's popularity to create momentum, and ultimately gave a reward of one hundred gold soul coins.

"That only means they're making more money."
