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

A strong sense of crisis suddenly erupted from beside me.

Boom!

The purple soul ring at the foot of Tangshan suddenly flashed, and the head and neck expanded rapidly, with strong blue-black muscles covering them tightly. Then Tangshan did not hesitate and hit Della on the head with a powerful and heavy headbutt.

Even though Dela had prepared as much as possible when she sensed the danger, she never expected that her opponent's attack would be so bizarre and the method so outrageous—what kind of Soul Master would use a headbutt in a fight?

Tangshan's headbutt left Della dizzy and disoriented, but the attack was far from over.

Before the skull had even returned to normal, Tang Shan's right arm swelled up, and in the instant that Dela was unconsciously lowering his head after being hit by the headbutt, a fist the size of a large bowl followed closely, slamming hard into his face.

A fierce force crashed into his body, shattering Della's jawbone completely. A mouthful of broken teeth mixed with blood gushed from his mouth, including two sharp fangs that were three inches long.

His head was jolted up by the force of the blow, and his hands, which had been protecting his chest, had lost all strength and fell limply down, completely exposing his defenseless chest.

Immediately afterwards, his bluish-black right arm, as thick as a normal person's thigh, slammed down, delivering a heavy elbow strike to Della's chest.

Click!

The faint sound of bones breaking echoed, but it was still not over.

A loud wolf howl suddenly descended, and Su Haichao released his first soul skill in time, causing Dela's movements to be delayed for a moment. It was precisely because of this brief pause that Tang Shan was able to unleash his final two killing moves with complete ease.

With both legs expanding and gathering power simultaneously, his right knee forcefully lifted Della's body. Relying on his god-like level of control, the surging power did not leak out in the slightest, but was completely poured into the opponent's body.

Then, he drew a large circle with his left leg, accumulating fierce power, and then slammed it down on the middle-aged man's chest.

The cracking sound of bones breaking was crystal clear; Tangshan's thigh swept the middle-aged man away completely.

As the opponent's body arced through the air like a rag doll, one wave subsided only to be followed by another. A wolf claw phantom flashed by, and Su Yuntao, who had been waiting for a long time, instantly unleashed all the soul power in his body and once again used his self-created soul skill.

Pfft!

Blood splattered everywhere, covering the middle-aged man's body. Five gruesome wounds appeared on his body, from which blood gushed out.

As Tang Shan strode onto the carriage, Su Haichao launched his final attack.

Seeing that Su Yuntao's self-created soul skill, Wolf Claw Illusion, hit the target, his fourth soul ring suddenly flashed.

The teleportation soul skill was activated instantly, and his figure appeared out of thin air in the blood mist.

The second century-old soul ring emitted an incomparably bright light, and countless energy-state claw shadows were frantically swung out from his hand, all pouring into the blood mist. Each strike was precise and ruthless.

Then, with a flash of silver light, his figure returned to the carriage.

Thump!

Della's broken body crashed helplessly to the ground, her lifeless eyes staring blankly at the sky, filled with confusion and astonishment.

Awooo—wooo!

Before the long wolf howl could finish, a dazzling light burst forth from the forest, and then three wolf bandit figures flew out and crashed heavily beside Della's battered body, joining him in death.

"Stop the car, it should be safe now."

Upon seeing the divine light, Su Haichao hurriedly told the coachman to stop the carriage.

馭！

The carriage gradually slowed down until it finally came to a steady stop.

At this moment, figures dressed in white armor emerged from the forest one after another.

"You petty thieves, you've run into our hands, consider yourself unlucky."

One of the white-armored Soul Masters curled his lip, his face showing undisguised disgust.

"Alright, killing the wolf thief is just a side matter; the main target is still that evil soul master."

The captain of the adjudication team spoke in a stern voice.

"Captain, is the evil spirit master there?"

The scouts who had been on the lookout earlier were quick to spot the lifeless body beside the bandit and asked hesitantly.

The captain looked in the direction his teammate was pointing and saw a bruised and bloodied corpse lying on its back on the ground, its eyes wide open, clearly dead with its eyes open.

"Everyone stay alert!"

Instantly recognizing the other party as their target, the squad leader immediately shouted a warning to prevent any attackers from lurking nearby.

Chapter 46 The Ten Most Brutal Soul Techniques of Evil Soul Masters, The Splendor of the First Angel God

"I wonder if the judgment squad ahead is from the Spirit Hall?"

Su Haichao got off the carriage, took a few steps forward, and asked loudly.

At this moment, the captain of the adjudication team looked at the carriage in the distance. Combining the situation on the spot with the faint soul power fluctuations emanating from Su Haichao, he had already made a rough guess in his mind.

However, he did not let his guard down. In previous hunts against evil spirit masters, there were instances where evil spirit masters used the lives of their own kind as bait to gain trust and then launch a sneak attack.

"We are the Spirit Hall's adjudication team, and we are currently hunting down an evil spirit master, the one who was with the three bandits. We wonder if you were the one who killed him?"

"Exactly."

Su Haichao responded and then took out his identity document.

"I am Su Haichao, and I once served as the Hall Master of the Spirit Hall in Notting City. This is my identity token. I am on my way to take up my post in Heaven Dou City. On the way, I encountered this Soul Master. He tried to ambush me, but I killed him in self-defense."

After speaking, Su Haichao tossed the token over.

"A Thousand Eagles".

The head of the adjudication team gave an order.

The scout nodded, swiftly took the token, carefully checked it, and then signaled to the squad that there was no problem.

The captain of the adjudication team softened his expression, but he remained vigilant.

"Lord Su, please step back. We need to deal with the body of this evil spirit master."

Su Haichao nodded and turned back to the carriage.

Standing by the carriage, Tang Shan witnessed the entire process. After watching the entire operation of the adjudication team, only one thought remained in his mind: professionalism.

Seeing how the other party handled the situation, Tang Shan was even more impressed, realizing that when it came to killing evil spirit masters, the Spirit Hall was perhaps the real expert.

A Soul Master known as White Armor summoned a huge shield and walked steadily toward the corpse of the Evil Soul Master, while the Judgement Team member named Thousand Eagle hid behind White Armor the entire time.

Reaching the corpse, Bai Jia activated his soul skill, instantly boosting his defense. Thousand Eagles then unleashed his speed, and in the blink of an eye, he had already left two huge wounds on the evil soul master's corpse, one on the top of his head and the other directly in front of his heart.

After the attack landed, Qianying quickly retreated, and Baijia also kept his shield in front of him as he slowly retreated.

Finally, the captain of the tribunal stepped forward and put the evil soul master's corpse into the storage soul tool.

The whole process looks complicated, but it is actually completed in just two minutes.

Only then did the ten members of the Spirit Hall adjudication team, including the team leader, finally relax completely.

"I am Qian Lei, the captain of the Spirit Hall's Judgment Team."

The captain of the judging team walked towards the carriage and took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Su Haichao once served as the Hall Master of the Spirit Hall in Notting City."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Qian Lei introduced the members beside him only after he had completely confirmed Su Haichao's identity.

"Captain Qian, is this evil spirit master very strong? How did he manage to escape from the judgment team?"

Su Haichao had some doubts. According to the rules of the Spirit Hall's adjudication team, a Soul King-level expert should be dispatched to deal with a Soul Venerable-level evil Soul Master. With the strength of a Soul King, a Soul Venerable should not be allowed to escape.

Qian Lei removed his helmet, revealing his resolute face beneath, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Originally, he had virtually no chance of escaping, but who knew he possessed an extremely troublesome thousand-year-old soul skill, 'Blood Explosion Technique,' which allowed him to blast an opening and escape by sheer luck."

"Blood Explosion Technique?" Tang Shan's ears twitched; Qian Lei's words instantly piqued his curiosity.

"Captain Qian, what kind of soul skill is this Blood Explosion Technique?"

When Qian Lei saw that the person asking was the child adopted by the Spirit Hall Master, he did not hesitate and explained, "This Blood Explosion Technique is one of the ten most brutal soul skills that evil soul masters can master. It ranks tenth. Its effect is to cause the blood inside the corpse to explode, and its power is extremely terrifying."

Upon hearing this effect, Tang Shan couldn't help but think of the Corpse Explosion Technique of the "Strongest Soul King" in the second part of Douluo Continent, as the two effects were quite similar.

More curious than ever, Tang Shan couldn't help but press for more information. After all, Su Haichao was a member of the Spirit Hall, and judging from the attitude of this adjudication team leader, the previous questions obviously did not involve any secrets. Naturally, he was unwilling to miss such a good opportunity.

"Captain Qian, what are these ten most brutal soul skills?"

"Five of them are similar to Blood Explosion Technique, namely Bone Explosion Technique (ranked ninth), Flesh Explosion Technique (ranked eighth), Corpse Explosion Technique (ranked seventh), and Soul Explosion Technique (ranked second)."

Just by hearing the names, Tang Shan roughly understood the effects of these soul skills. They all obviously used different parts of the corpse as detonators. The more body tissues used, the higher the ranking of the soul skill.

He originally thought that the Corpse Explosion Technique was the limit, since it could directly detonate the entire corpse, but he did not expect that there was an even stronger one, and that it ranked second.

"Soul Explosion... does that mean it detonates the soul?"

"Excellent, this is exactly what ignites the soul."

Qian Lei's expression was solemn, and his tone was serious: "The other evil soul masters' explosion techniques are alright. Even though their power is extremely terrifying, they still have some flaws. They can only be detonated with the help of fresh corpses. But the soul explosion technique is different. As long as there is a soul, it can be activated, and the effect of the explosion is a mental attack."

Tang Shan was speechless upon hearing this. The effect was truly outrageous. Fresh corpses were at least a limiting condition, but when it came to souls, which evil soul master didn't have the means to store souls? Once you mastered the Soul Explosion Technique, it was practically equivalent to carrying an arsenal with you.

"What's even more terrifying is that the Soul Explosion spell doesn't affect the caster; it only targets other objects."

Tang Shan was utterly speechless. This was no Soul Explosion Technique; it was a unique skill designed specifically for self-defense and killing enemies.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly overpowered Corpse Explosion Technique. If you place a corpse next to an evil soul master, see if he dares to detonate it easily. However, this Soul Explosion Technique can actually protect a soul master from explosion damage, distinguish friend from foe, and is also a mental attack. Such an outrageous soul skill is only ranked second.

Tang Shan simply couldn't imagine just how outrageous the number one evil soul master's soul skills were.

Su Haichao watched as Tang Shan pressed Qian Lei for answers, but did not stop him. As long as Qian Lei was willing to answer, it would definitely not involve any confidential matters. If it was classified information, the other party would naturally answer with "no comment".

Members of the Spirit Hall's adjudication team are not so easily allowed to leak secrets.

"Captain Qian, telling me this information doesn't count as leaking secrets, right?"

Unable to contain his curiosity, Tang Shan took the initiative to confirm.

"Of course not. In fact, I hope that more people can know this information so that the danger of encountering evil spirit masters can be reduced."

Qian Lei shook his head and continued with a smile, "Even the complete process of our adjudication team hunting down evil soul masters is easy for anyone who wants to know; it doesn't involve any secrets."

"The complete process of hunting down evil spirit masters?" Tang Shan became increasingly curious.

"Actually, it's simple, just three steps: probing soul skills, delivering a fatal blow, and finally checking and cleaning up. Probing soul skills is to guard against special soul skills like the Corpse Explosion Technique and avoid casualties in the team; delivering a fatal blow requires as much teamwork as possible to kill in one strike. You must never be careless when facing evil soul masters, their methods are unpredictable, and you can't afford to be careless in the slightest; as for cleaning up, it's just to collect the corpse and bring it back to Spirit City for thorough purification."

A hint of sadness flashed across Qian Lei's face: "Even so, I have decided that 5% of the team members will still be sacrificed each year."

Tang Shan's lips twitched slightly as he couldn't help but think of the "Number One Academy on the Continent" ten thousand years later. The adjudication team was specifically designed to deal with evil spirit masters, with a mortality rate of only 5%. In contrast, Shrek Academy, besides dealing with evil spirit masters, also dealt with various nobles and city lords, resulting in a mortality rate far higher than the former. This was truly unsettling.

Don't say that evil spirit masters are all gathered in the Slaughter City. That hellish place is basically a place you can never get out of. Evil spirit masters aren't stupid, how could they willingly step into a desperate situation?

Even though the City of Slaughter may be a treasure trove for evil spirit masters to cultivate, no evil spirit master has ever been able to leave it. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?

It appears to be a sacred place for the cultivation of evil spirit masters, but in reality, it is nothing more than a prison. Otherwise, the successive popes of the Spirit Hall would not have been so foolish as to send evil spirit masters into the "sacred place" to cultivate, only to have them break through and escape with greatly increased cultivation before threatening the continent.

Recalling the extraordinary actions of a certain Buddha, Tang Shan had only one thought in his mind: "You have already chosen the path to death."

In reality, Tang San destroying the City of Slaughter wasn't a problem; the real issue was that after becoming the God of Asura, he completely took over the City of Slaughter. If that weren't the case, as long as the City of Slaughter existed, it would have been the best place to deal with evil spirit masters, aside from directly killing them.

Destroying the angelic family and destroying the angelic throne is not the problem, but at the very least, the city of slaughter should be left behind.

Taking back his criticism of the Buddha, Tang Shan looked at Qian Lei and asked, "Captain Qian, aren't you afraid of hunting down evil spirit masters like this? Is it worth it?"

“It’s worth it. This is our family’s promise to the people of mainland China, and it is also the mission that our family has passed down through generations.”

A look of respect appeared on Qian Lei's face. He raised his hand and patted Tang Shan on the shoulder, then stood up and said, "Dismiss the team! Go back and report!"

The Q team members quickly assembled and formed a neat line.

Qian Lei took out a bronze token from his pocket and handed it to Su Haichao: "Palace Master Su, this is the reward for killing the evil soul master. Although we are all part of the Spirit Hall, the rewards and punishments are clear. With this token, you can exchange it for a reward at the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City."

Su Haichao did not refuse and solemnly accepted the token. Putting everything else aside, he had killed this evil spirit master in collaboration with Su Yuntao and Tang Shan, so he felt perfectly justified in accepting the reward.

Qian Lei didn't say anything more. He put his helmet back on, led the team to assemble, and then sped off into the distance.

This is what the angel family should look like, right?

Watching the departing procession, Tang Shan felt a pang of emotion. Compared to the indecisive Qian Daoliu, the ruthless Qian Xunji, and the love-obsessed Qian Renxue in the original work, these people before him might only be peripheral members of the Angel family, or even just members of a collateral branch. Yet, they allowed him to vaguely glimpse some of the original Angel God's former glory.

Chapter 47 Martial Soul Token, the Gains After the Battle

"Dad, what's the use of this token?"

Su Yuntao took the bronze plaque from Su Haichao's hand and examined it curiously from all angles.

"This token is a kind of merit certificate, which can be used to redeem rewards in the Spirit Hall."
