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

Relying on the extraordinary physical control granted by his first soul skill, he forcibly expanded his chest cavity and reinforced his body with soul power to ensure that his body would not be burst by the internal pressure. He frantically inhaled the surrounding air into his lungs, and then suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled, a transparent ball of air, condensed to its extreme, shot towards Serpent Spear Douluo like a refined dragon ball.

As Serpent Spear Douluo sensed the sudden thinning of the air around him, a sense of foreboding inexplicably rose in his heart.

He didn't have time to think much; the soul power within his dantian surged out wildly, instantly condensing into a thick soul power barrier around his body.

Perhaps Tang Shan's attack was more skillful than the last one, or perhaps the power of his physical control had increased dramatically, but the ball of energy exploded suddenly due to the imbalance of internal energy after flying far away.

In an instant, the compressed airflow and the hidden sound waves surged and spread in all directions like a tsunami, centered on the air mass!

Roar--

The sound wave slammed into the soul power barrier, causing it to tremble violently. Even though it was weakened by more than half, the remaining sound wave was still deafening. The Serpent Spear Douluo felt his ears ringing and was momentarily deafened.

But that's not all.

The ground directly below the point of the sonic boom was instantly covered with fine cracks; the windows not far away, under the terrifying impact of the sound waves, finally could not withstand it and shattered with a "crash," scattering shards of glass all over the ground.

The powerful airflow whipped Xue Qinghe and the other two's hair wildly, and the trees at the edge of the training ground shed their leaves.

After a long while, the commotion gradually subsided. Tang Shan released his Martial Soul Possession state and said decisively, "I have exhausted all my Qi and Soul Power. I admit defeat."

Only now did his voice awaken the stench from that earth-shattering roar.

Xue Qinghe was the first to come to her senses. Her lips were still twitching slightly. She cleared her throat, barely calming her turbulent emotions, and said, "Alright, that's enough for today's test."

Only then did Tang Shan notice the broken glass scattered on the floor, and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Your Highness, this window..."

"It's alright, I'll have someone fix it in the next few days," the Serpent Spear Douluo said slowly, his voice still a little hoarse.

The noise clearly affected him quite a bit; although he wasn't injured, his ears still seem to be ringing a little.

"Your self-created soul skill is extremely powerful, probably already comparable to the fourth soul skill of a weaker soul master."

Tang Shan quickly waved his hand: "Senior, you flatter me. This attack almost exhausted all my soul power and blood energy, and I simply cannot continue to use it."

"Alright, I'll have someone tidy up here. Let's go back to the main hall first." Xue Qinghe put on a gentle smile again and turned to walk towards the main hall first.

Tang Shan and Su Yuntao exchanged a glance and quickly followed suit.

The Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo walked at the very back, communicating secretly through telepathy.

"Old She, what do you think of this kid's strength?"

"A truly remarkable talent! To be honest, what impressed me most was not his self-created soul skills. After all, his teacher is a master, so it's normal for him to be able to teach such skills."

What's truly impressive is his control over the battle. The Serpent Spear Douluo's tone was heavy with seriousness.

"This kid doesn't seem to have much combat experience, but his ability to adapt to changing circumstances and his precision in controlling his power are terrifying. You know how deep my control over the Serpent Spear is, but just now he used a strange force to make me temporarily lose control of my Martial Soul."

The Porcupine Douluo looked astonished: "You're not kidding?"

"Why would I need to tell you this?" Serpent Spear Douluo retorted, then added, "You were staring at him for so long, didn't you notice?"

The porcupine doro gave a wry smile. "Back then, I was paying attention to his blood and qi."

Then he shared his findings from the soul power pressure test.

"What the Second Elder couldn't do seems to have been accomplished by this kid. His blood and qi activity is so outrageous that it feels almost the same as his soul power."

"You mean... the master really did something that even the second-ranking elder couldn't do?" Douluo the Serpent Spear's voice was full of disbelief.

"The possibility is extremely high."

After the porcupine douluo finished speaking, both of them fell silent.

They felt even more awe for the master, who was like a bottomless abyss, constantly refreshing their understanding.

As soon as the fishy smell filled the air, a servant leaned close to Xue Qinghe and whispered a few words in his ear.

Tang Shan's heart skipped a beat, guessing that someone must have come to visit.

Xue Qinghe's smile faded slightly. He nodded gently, then turned to Tang Shan and Su Yuntao, his tone still gentle: "There's been a bit of an unexpected situation. I'll go deal with it first. We'll have lunch together later. I have some things to ask you two for help with."

Chapter 67 The Shock of Qian Daoliu, The Understanding of the Golden Crocodile Douluo (Please Subscribe and Add to Favorites)

Before the enormous angel statue, Qian Daoliu's eyes were closed, his expression serene, and his index fingers were crossed and naturally joined together.

He didn't know how much time had passed before the sound of footsteps behind him woke him up.

"Brother, this is a letter from Xiaoxue. She instructed that you should see it first, and then you can decide whether to let the Second Master and the others see it."

Qian Jun Douluo held a letter in his hand and handed it to Qian Daoliu, whose eyes were still gleaming with a faint light.

"Okay, let me see it first."

Qian Daoliu was somewhat puzzled; his granddaughter's request seemed rather strange.

After dismissing Qianjun Douluo, he opened the letter and read it carefully.

After reading only a few lines, Qian Daoliu exclaimed in surprise: "We've found a disciple who seems to be a master?"

He wasn't doubting that Qian Renxue was lying to him, but rather worried about what sinister motives were hidden within. LM said that very few people in the entire Spirit Hall knew Qian Renxue's true identity and plans, but the risk of clues being leaked couldn't be ruled out. Moreover, this was merely his granddaughter's own deduction; it hadn't been confirmed, nor did she have the token originally issued to the Grandmaster as proof.

The further Qian Daoliu read, the more suspicious he became of the true identity of the so-called "master's disciple."

Back when Qian Xunji was still the Pope, a token was specially made to recognize the master's achievements. Qian Daoliu was well aware of this, and the creation of this token was even somewhat related to him.

Ultimately, the master's theory did indeed influence Qian Renxue's acquisition of her first two spirit rings, and this favor had to be acknowledged. After explaining the whole story to Qian Xunji, Qian Xunji specially crafted this token and gave it to the Spirit Hall spirit master as a favor from the Angel Family.

After all, the other party was the master's only contact at the time.

Now that the granddaughter claims to have found the master's disciple, she can't produce anything to prove the master's identity, which makes one very suspicious.

Surely it couldn't be that his own granddaughter was being scammed?

Recalling the outrageous actions of the current pope, Qian Daoliu's heart sank. He wished he could fly over there right now and interrogate Tang Shan and Su Yuntao thoroughly.

Qian Daoliu frowned as he continued reading.

"The theory of spirit fusion states that the strength of the spirit body is determined by the foundation of the first six spirit rings. This theory is good and has the flair of a master."

Looking at the records of Qian Renxue and Tang Shan's exchange in the letter, as well as Tang Shan's understanding of the Martial Soul True Body, and comparing it with his own cultivation experience, Qian Daoliu's brows relaxed a little.

He put away the letter and took out the second one to study carefully.

On the second sheet of paper, Qian Renxue recorded in detail Tang Shan's theory, which could be described as subverting the understanding of Soul Masters.

The Beast Soul's true form is incomplete.

Qian Daoliu's hand trembled suddenly, startled by this shocking statement. He carefully read the contents, his fingers unconsciously clenching the letter.

Martial Soul Fusion, Beast Soul True Body is the transformation of a body into a soul beast, the human body contains the bloodline of a soul beast, why does the Weapon Soul True Body require the consumption of spiritual power while the Beast Soul True Body does not, and the transformation of a body into a soul beast can combine with the instincts and combat experience of a soul beast...

One unprecedented theory after another was written on this thin sheet of paper. For a moment, Qian Daoliu felt that this sheet of paper weighed more than a thousand kilograms.

Are these theories true or false? Countless clues connected in his mind, and his cultivation experience over the past hundreds of years also came flooding in, comparing them one by one with these theories.

"No, that theory is wrong. When I activated my Martial Soul True Body, all my attributes were amplified, but my combat experience was not improved at all."

Qian Daoliu, who was deep in thought, suddenly opened his eyes. A divine and dazzling light burst forth from his eyes, which contained both amazement and a hint of regret.

"These two are most likely liars. It seems Xiaoxue has been deeply influenced by them. No, I have to bring those two back. I can't let them continue to influence Xiaoxue."

Turning around, he casually placed the letter on the table. Qian Daoliu's gaze fell on the angel statue in front of him, and his hand, which was about to be released from the table, suddenly froze.

When did the Angelic Martial Soul become a Beastic Martial Soul? Perhaps the first Angel God's Martial Soul was a Beastic Martial Soul, but after the Angel God became a god, that Beastic Martial Soul completely disappeared, leaving only the divine Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel.

Qian Daoliu stood silently before the angel statue for a long time.

He calmed his mind and read the theory word by word. This time, Qian Daoliu read it with extra care. He had a premonition that if the theory was true, it would probably cause a huge upheaval in the entire Soul Master world.

After a long while, he slowly put down the letter in his hand and let out a long sigh. A brilliant light shone from behind him, and three pairs of huge wings slowly unfolded. The next second, he disappeared in front of the huge angel statue, and everything returned to calm. Only the huge statue stood eternally, as if it would continue forever until the end of time.

The dazzling golden light transformed into a blinding golden line, flashing and disappearing in the sky above Wuhun City.

Inside the Papal Palace, a woman of great elegance stood by the window, holding a scepter, her gaze fixed intently on the disappearing golden light in the sky.

That old guy hasn't moved an inch in decades, why did he suddenly leave his lair today? That direction should be the Death Canyon.

A purplish-black light appeared in her eyes, and ferocious patterns were faintly visible on her skin.

"The Spirit Hall, I will destroy it with my own hands, you old man. I will make your family's hard work disappear completely from the continent..."

The golden light moved extremely fast, and with the aid of three pairs of wings, the surrounding scenery had already become a blur.

Finally, the golden light stopped, hovering in mid-air, its radiance gradually diminishing, and the thousands of streams slowly descended.

Not far away, there is a huge canyon, shrouded in mist that blocks out the sky, revealing the true situation on the other side.

There is a small town near the canyon, which was specially built by the Spirit Hall to provide rest, lodging and supplies for the Spirit Hall geniuses who come to the Death Canyon for training.

Not far from the town entrance, there was a stone bench with an old man sitting on it. He was much taller than ordinary people, as burly and robust as a mountain, with a majestic and domineering aura, exuding an aura of inviolability.

His skin was wrinkled and crisscrossed like old tree bark, full of the weight of years. His eyes were sharp as an eagle, and deep within them lurked a ferocity like that of a prehistoric beast.

Logically speaking, such a distinctive old man would surely attract the attention of ordinary people. But strangely, even though the stone bench is right at the entrance of the town, with a constant stream of pedestrians, no one seems to notice this extraordinary person not far away.

Qian Daoliu walked up to the old man, who stood up and bowed slightly, saying, "Greetings, Great Venerable."

Qian Daoliu turned to the side, refusing to accept the courtesy.

"Second Master, there's no need to be so respectful. In terms of seniority, I am still your junior."

"Etiquette must not be neglected."

Golden Crocodile Douluo straightened up, his voice old and hoarse, yet steady and powerful.

"I wonder what brings you here today, Grand Elder? Has something happened at the Spirit Hall?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head: "I came today only to ask the Second Elder some questions about martial spirit cultivation."

A hint of doubt flashed in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes: "The Grand Elder is an unparalleled Douluo, already at the pinnacle of the mortal realm. In terms of cultivation, I am only level ninety-eight, far inferior to the Grand Elder's profound knowledge. How could there be anything for you to ask?"

Qian Daoliu shook his head: "I also reached the limit by relying on the advantage of my super martial soul. In fact, I'm not much different from that person on Seagod Island. On the entire continent, Tang Chen is the only one who truly reached the limit of a Soul Master and became a peerless Douluo solely through his own abilities."

As he spoke, a complex emotion flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head as well: "No matter what method you use to reach the limit, the limit is the limit, and a peerless Douluo is a peerless Douluo. The difference in essence is far beyond what ordinary soul masters can compare to."

As soon as he finished speaking, Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Qian Daoliu knew why he sighed. The other party had been stuck at the peak of level 98 for decades, almost a century, and still hadn't been able to take that final step. Watching him, Poseidon, and Tang Chen reach the limit of Soul Master before him, how could he not feel sad and lonely?

"Second Master, I have come today to ask you some questions about the true form of the Beast Soul."

Not wanting to cause further sadness to this person who was practically his only elder, Qian Daoliu directly stated the purpose of his trip.

Golden Crocodile Douluo patted the stone chair beside him, gesturing for him to sit down.

After Qian Daoliu nodded and sat down, he asked, "I want to know, after a Beast Soul Master awakens their Martial Soul True Body, will their combat instincts and control over battle opportunities improve?"

There will be some improvement, but not much.

Golden Crocodile Douluo quickly gave his answer and explained in detail: "In my opinion, the Beast Soul True Body of a Beast Martial Soul Master is, in a sense, a transformation into one's own Martial Soul, becoming a Soul Beast for a short period of time. After transforming into a Soul Beast, many Soul Skills naturally do not need to cool down, since for Soul Beasts, those are all innate skills."

Qian Daoliu was shocked. The Golden Crocodile Douluo's understanding of the Beast Soul True Body was exactly the same as the theory in his granddaughter's letter. They both believed that the essence of the Beast Soul True Body was to be internalized into a soul beast in a short period of time.

"Unfortunately, we are still human after all. Even if we activate our Martial Soul True Body and try to imitate the attack methods of those Soul Beasts, there is still a huge gap between us and the Soul Beasts that have been honed over a long period of time for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years."

If Beast Soul Masters could possess the same honed combat skills as Beast Soul Beasts while transforming into them, there would be no saying that the physical limit of a Weapon Soul's true form is greater than that of a Beast Soul's true form, and the Upper Three Sects would simply be sects established by Beast Soul Masters.

After all, a Title Douluo's cultivation is equivalent to a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast. A Beast Soul Master who transforms into a Soul Beast and possesses its combat skills is, during the period when they awaken their Martial Soul True Body, a true 100,000-year-old Soul Beast.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice was deafening, each word like a pearl, striking Qian Daoliu's heart fiercely.

He had initially overestimated the value of Qian Renxue's theory, but after listening to Golden Crocodile Douluo's explanation, he realized he had underestimated it. If this theory of spirit fusion was true and could be mastered by a titled Douluo of beast spirits, then they would essentially possess the ability to transform into a 100,000-year-old spirit beast in a short period of time.

Chapter 68 The Ultimate Path of Golden Crocodile Douluo, The Mysterious Soul Beast in the Death Canyon

"Is it possible that the two elders' true forms of beast souls are incomplete?"

Qian Daoliu hesitated for a moment, but still expressed the theory he knew in a speculative way.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's face, which resembled the bark of an old tree, twitched slightly before returning to calm.

"What do you mean?"

Qian Daoliu didn't immediately take out the letter Qian Renxue had sent. Instead, he explained his understanding: "Since the essential effect of the seventh soul skill is to transform into a soul beast, it should also carry the combat instincts and experience of a soul beast. After all, if you can transform into a soul beast, why can't you carry their accumulated instincts and experience?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo fell into a brief moment of contemplation, then raised his head again, his sharp gaze fixed on Qian Daoliu.

"Great Master, this reason is still somewhat far-fetched. Do you have some kind of conjecture, or have you come up with some special theory?"

After all, he was a Soul Master who had lived for a long time, and his reactions were extremely sharp. Qian Daoliu's few words made Jin Crocodile Douluo have some doubts.
