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

On the lakeside, two figures, one tall and one short, were exchanging words. Their imposing presence naturally emanated from them, causing the surrounding soul beasts to dare not take a single step forward.

The smaller one is a rabbit, with fluffy pinkish-white fur that makes it quite adorable. Its limbs are well-proportioned, its ears are long and playful, and its two ruby-like eyes exude a fatal attraction. The whole rabbit seems to embody the beauty of heaven and earth, making it exceptionally charming, provided that its two-meter-tall size is disregarded.

The largest soul beast was a giant ape, standing thirty meters tall. Its limbs were like pillars supporting the sky, and its thick fur could not conceal the powerful muscles beneath. Its paws were the size of millstones, with sharp claws that left extremely deep marks on the ground with just a simple swipe. Even when it sat there without moving, an aura of pressure, like that of a mountain, emanated from its body.

“Erming, you don’t need to persuade me anymore. I’m going to the human world, transform into a human, and avenge my mother.”

The giant pinkish-white rabbit spoke in human language, speaking earnestly.

The giant ape's voice, as loud as thunder, carried a hint of pleading.

"Sister Xiaowu, why are you doing this? With the resources of the Lake of Life in the core area of ​​the Starry Sky, you can break through the Heavenly Tribulation of 200,000 years. By then, that human will have long since died of old age."

These two 100,000-year-old soul beasts were none other than Xiao Wu and her younger brother Er Ming, who had not yet taken human form during the Douyi era.

"No, letting her die of old age is too easy for her. I must take revenge myself."

Little Rabbit's face revealed deep hatred, and two red beams shot out from her ruby-like eyes.

"If it really comes down to it, we'll go with you. That human's faction is probably the strongest among humans. It's just two Title Douluos, right? Including that woman, that's only three Title Douluos. We can just go up and kill her without any problem."

A massive bull's head rose from the Lake of Life, its voice emanating from its mouth, brimming with confidence.

"Yes, yes, Sister Xiaowu, I sent some disciples to inquire outside the Star Dou Great Forest. That person should be a Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall. Why don't we just attack the Spirit Hall, kill your enemy, and then come back?"

"If you're still not satisfied, I heard there's some kind of shrine above the Spirit Hall, where the remains of all the titled Douluo from past generations are buried. We can tear that shrine down too."

Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes, somewhat puzzled: "Why is it that my rabbit grandson seems to be inquiring about the Douluo Palace, which enshrines the holy positions of titled Douluo?"

"Who cares if it's a Douluo Hall or a Hall of Worship, let's just tear it all down."

As Da Ming finished speaking in the water, a deadly sense of crisis flashed by. He suddenly looked up and around, but found nothing.

"Da Ming, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Wu asked with some confusion.

"Just now I had a feeling that a great disaster was about to happen, as if I was being targeted by some extremely terrifying creature."

"Da Ming, are you still half asleep? We are the strongest in the Star Dou Great Forest, how could there be an existence stronger than us?"

Xiao Wu's words made Daming seriously doubt himself. Could it be that I was just sleepy and overthinking things?

"Alright, my mind is made up. Daming, Erming, you don't need to persuade me anymore. As long as I'm careful, I'll definitely be able to grow into a Title Douluo and avenge my mother. You two don't need to say anything about going to take revenge directly. I'll take my revenge myself. It just so happens that I haven't seen the human world yet, and I want to go and have a look around."

"Alright then, Sister Xiaowu, you must be careful and remember to come back and visit us often."

The Titan Ape Erming's voice was filled with reluctance.

"Don't worry, it's still early. My instincts tell me that the best time to transform is in four or five years. I'll need you to protect me then. As for going out, it's impossible to encounter a Title Douluo right away. I can cultivate for 100,000 years, so I'm not that bad."

Okay, that's enough. While I was wandering in the forest earlier, I found a really cute little rabbit. It seems to be a Lightning Rabbit. I'm going to go play with it.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wu's figure flashed and disappeared into thin air beside the Lake of Life.

creak creak!

The hard soil and rocks were crushed into dust in the giant ape's paws, falling softly from the Titan Ape's hands.

The Azure Bull Python, Daming, glanced at his younger brother and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey! Erming, try to think positively. We're not rabbits, are we? Think about it, with your size, do you think Xiaowu can handle it?"

"I'm just not happy about it. That's Xiao Wu! What right do those rabbits have?"

Erming's voice was filled with barely suppressed rage, his eyes bloodshot, revealing a strong murderous intent.

"Don't think too much about it. Given our relationship with Xiao Wu, if it weren't for her body shape, she would definitely be willing. Ultimately, it's our own problem."

As he spoke, the enormous bull's head silently disappeared into the water.

What the two beasts didn't notice was that three figures were standing among the tree branches above their heads.

At the very front was a young girl, who looked to be no more than twelve years old. Her brilliant silver hair cascaded down to her hips, and her large, amethyst-like eyes were calm yet seemed to hold profound wisdom.

The fluctuations of the elements undulated in her eyes, concealing a sense of majesty.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her figure was slender and upright, like a green bamboo under the moon, or like a spirit of heaven and earth reincarnated. Although she was young, her future beauty was already enough to be seen.

Her face was flawless, like a work of art meticulously sculpted by the heavens. Her beauty was so stunning that even the phrase "beauty is a curse" could not adequately describe her allure.

The girl held a "big cat" in her arms. Its entire body was covered with a layer of golden fur, like leaping flames. Its body was like a lion, with a slightly long snout. Its feet were on flames, like a Qilin. On its forehead was a rose-gold vertical pupil, within which an invisible life force flowed.

Behind the man and the beast stood a middle-aged man with long, jet-black hair that reached his waist. He was burly, with sharp eyes and an aura of dominance. His golden eyes radiated an invisible dragon's might as they opened and closed. A tuft of golden hair on his forehead further accentuated his strong and handsome features.

They witnessed the entire conversation between the three soul beasts below. Several times, the big cat in the girl's arms tried to speak, and the middle-aged man behind her raised his hand several times, but the silver-haired girl stopped him each time.

"My lady, why did you let this rabbit go out? The Soft Bone Rabbit smells so good. A 100,000-year-old one must taste delicious. If it transforms into a human, it won't be able to eat it anymore."

Seeing the mother rabbit walk away, the big cat in the girl's arms finally couldn't help but speak. Her voice was like the call of a nightingale, clear and melodious, and one could hear a distinct sense of resentment in it.

"Yes, my lord, that mixed-blood python also wants to attack the Hall of Worship in the human world. If we let him do that, we'll be in big trouble. Why didn't you let me take action and kill those two pieces of trash just now?"

The middle-aged man with black hair behind the girl was also clearly puzzled.

The silver-haired girl looked at the two rabbits locked in fierce combat in the distance, her eyes revealing obvious resistance. Her voice was ethereal and elusive, as if devoid of any emotion.

"My awakening this time was not an accident. A few years ago, I felt a divine power descend from the sky into our Star Dou Great Forest. This sudden divine power was the reason that awakened me. After my investigation, I found that the divine power was in the spiritual sea of ​​that little rabbit."

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I forcibly distorted their consciousness with my mental power, making them believe that they were the strongest beings in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The black-haired man behind him suddenly realized: "No wonder you told us to shrink the core area and not to move around for a while. It turns out it was to guard against those traitors in the sky."

"What a pity, a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit, there should only be one left in the entire Star Dou Great Forest."

The golden cat felt a little regretful. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked excitedly, "By the way, I remember Uncle Bear killed a 100,000-year-old rabbit before. I wonder if there's any rabbit meat left."

As she spoke, she unconsciously began to wriggle in the silver-haired girl's arms.

The silver-haired girl frowned and skillfully stroked the golden "cat's" neck and belly.

"No, no, my sister, no, stop..."

The golden "big cat" was clearly feeling extremely comfortable and immediately stopped fidgeting. It was unclear whether she was saying "no" or "don't stop."

“Auspicious beast, you should remain respectful to your lord.”

The middle-aged man with black hair couldn't help but reprimand the auspicious beast for its unruly behavior.

"Uncle Emperor, I... I was very polite to Sister Lord!"

The mythical beast remained hopelessly addicted to being petted, while the silver dragon seemed to have found pleasure in petting the cat as well, its actions showing no sign of stopping.

Di Tian fell silent. Calling the Lord "sister" and him "uncle"—wasn't his seniority a bit too high? Wasn't that inappropriate?

"My lady, I'm so bored in the Heart Zone. Can I go for a walk in the outer area?"

After the silver-haired girl stopped what she was doing, the golden "big cat" asked her breathlessly.

“No, the Lord has said that it is best to stay in the Heart Zone during this period. It is too dangerous for you to go out alone.”

Di Tian objected without hesitation, but the Imperial Beast completely ignored him and looked pitifully at the silver-haired girl.

The silver-haired girl remained expressionless, whether out of excessive indifference or pure naiveté, it was hard to tell. She thought for a moment, tilted her head, and then looked at the middle-aged man behind her.

"Di Tian, ​​you should go back first. I'm going into a deep sleep soon, so while I'm still awake, I can take the auspicious beast out to play."

Seeing that his master had spoken so earnestly, Di Tian had no choice but to agree.

"Alright, let's do some disguise, otherwise we'll be too conspicuous."

As the silver-haired girl's spiritual power surged, she and her cat vanished into the dense forest.

P.S.: It might be one or two female leads appearing. As for how they meet the protagonist, firstly, it won't be a chance encounter, and secondly, the protagonist doesn't have a destiny system. You can look forward to it. Also, this also provides a reasonable excuse for the absence of those ferocious beasts from the first era.

Finally, due to personal reasons, tomorrow's update will likely be two chapters totaling 4,000 words. Around the 23rd, I'll probably resume three updates totaling 9,000 words. Please understand.

Chapter 92 Deep into the Stars, the Missing Soul Beast

"Such speed and crisis response capabilities."

The Serpent Spear Douluo looked at the sudden extension, probing, and retraction with some surprise.

The moment the ten-year-old soul beast black snake launched its attack, Tang Shan's reaction was fluid and effortless, as if he had anticipated it, displaying a calm and composed demeanor.

With a simple flick of his fingers, drops of black snake blood were flicked from his hand, leaving no trace or injury on his skin.

"Have you reached the so-called 'transformation of strength'?"

Watching Tang Shan easily shake off the poisonous blood clinging to his hands, and recalling his previous demonstration in front of them, Serpent Spear Douluo had a thought and asked.

"I made a breakthrough by chance a few days ago."

Tangshan answered humbly.

"So you spotted this black venomous snake beforehand, right?"

Snake Spear Douluo was somewhat curious.

"That's right, we did notice it in advance."

Tangshan immediately provided an explanation.

"Senior, the development of the body in internal martial arts is not just about improving the control of strength, but also about other subtle and profound aspects, such as the ability to neutralize force without adding a feather or letting a fly land. The prerequisite for this is to have an extremely strong perception of the outside world. The moment that black venomous snake moved, I was already aware of the turbulent airflow it stirred up."

Even without disrupting the flow of energy, internal martial arts develop the body's potential, and certain special senses of crisis are correspondingly developed.

Before he could finish speaking, his left hand reached out and with a simple flick of his finger, a small green snake poked its head out from the bushes and was caught squarely by Tang Shan's finger.

Rather than saying that a finger flicked the other's head, it would be more accurate to say that the other deliberately bumped into it. A hidden force was quietly injected into the snake's head, and the green snake's body stiffened for a moment before falling from the tree.

Upon seeing this, Serpent Spear Douluo's eyes narrowed: "Such keen insight."

"This is not insight, but an instinctive warning of crisis."

Tang Shan withdrew his hand, looked at the black snake he had easily crushed to death at his feet, and said with some regret, "What a pity, it's full of venom and has no value."

"Alright, let's speed up and get to the area where that group of diamond mammoths is active as soon as possible, so they don't get away."

The Serpent Spear Douluo, seemingly lost in thought, said something, took out a map from his robes, compared it with the coordinates, and sped off in one direction.

The dense thicket of bushes stretched out like a giant net covered in sharp thorns, slashing across the path ahead. The morning dew clinging to the leaves reflected shimmering light, and even the slightest touch would leave a bloody gash. Wherever the Serpent Spear Douluo passed, the menacing thorns seemed to be smoothed over by an invisible hand, their branches and leaves rustling and bending backward. As his figure swept past, they bounced back to their original positions, leaving only a fleeting path.

Faced with the obstacles before him, Tang Shan responded rather ruthlessly. Whenever there was grass that wasn't too sharp, he would bend over and rush over it. The thorny branches would graze his clothes, making a "ripping" sound as they tore, leaving his clothes tattered, but they wouldn't even scratch his skin.

When he encountered those strange shrubs with thorns as sharp as steel needles, he twisted his waist, channeling his energy throughout his body. His bones crackled slightly, and his body suddenly shrank a bit. He spun through the gaps between the branches and leaves, cleverly dissipating his power onto the intertwined branches.

Only when faced with an impenetrable wall of thorns will he activate his martial spirit, relying on the enhancement of his physical attributes to instantly tighten his muscle lines and forcefully break through a path.

……

This is a lake as clear as crystal, with fresh water rushing down from the mountain streams deep in the forest, crashing against the pebbles on the lakebed, splashing up tiny droplets, and rippling in circles on the surface of the lake.

The grass and trees sway by the lake, and the tall ancient trees are lush and leafy, their layered canopies blocking out the sun and casting large patches of dappled shade.

Wild fruits the size of a fist hang from the branches, their skins tinged with an enticing reddish-purple, their fragrance mingling with the moist air, creating a sweet aroma.

Several pale gray flying spirit beasts stretched their wings and circled in the sky. Their cries pierced through the clouds, and suddenly they swooped down like arrows, their sharp claws tearing through the water's surface, leaving a trail of glistening water droplets. In an instant, they snatched a plump fish and soared into the sky.

rustling.

Deep in the forest, the grass and trees swayed, and two figures emerged from the dense, impenetrable greenery.

Snake Spear Douluo looked at the map in his hand and compared it with the scenery in front of him, somewhat puzzled: "The place seems to be right?"

Tang Shan emerged from the bushes in tattered clothes, unharmed, but his "beggar's outfit" was rather unsightly.

He didn't notice the Serpent Spear Douluo's expression, but instead looked at the clear lake water reflecting the azure sky and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The breath of nature, mixed with the increasingly rich vital energy of heaven and earth, flowed into his body.

"The spiritual energy here is even more abundant. Even a Soul Master with average talent could probably achieve the same cultivation speed as a Soul Master with innate Soul Power several levels higher if they came here to cultivate," Tang Shan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

After comparing the locations several times, Serpent Spear Douluo confirmed that he was not lost and that the location was not marked incorrectly. He looked helplessly at Tangshan and said, "It seems that the group of Diamond Fierce Beasts has migrated."

Only then did Tang Shan notice the other person's depressed expression. He was also somewhat disappointed to learn that his target had escaped.

"Then what should we do, senior?"

"Let's see if we can find any clues about their departure. We can't just absorb soul rings casually."

"That's all we have to do."

Tangshan and Snake Spear Douluo split up to search for clues, and Tangshan soon made a discovery.

Ultimately, given its size, even though it has migrated for some time, the traces it left behind are still quite obvious.

“There are footprints here, so they must have re-entered the forest.”
