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

During this Soul Hunt, Tang Shan once again had Su Haichao conduct a Soul Ring experiment, and this time his idea was even bolder. He set Su Haichao's target as a Domain Soul Skill.

Upon hearing Tang Shan's inquiry, Su Haichao looked at him with a hint of comfort on his face, "Shanzi, it's okay to make a mistake this time. It's normal for research theories to fail."

Hearing Su Haichao's words of comfort, Tang Shan naturally understood the outcome of the experiment, but he was not discouraged.

"Father, don't worry, I'm not disappointed. Come to think of it, domain-type soul skills are so special and rare, they certainly can't be obtained so easily. I just don't know if it's because the soul ring itself isn't old enough or if there are other requirements to obtain a domain-type soul skill."

"However, Father, this time you obtained the soul skill randomly. What is its effect?"

Upon hearing Tangshan's inquiry, Su Haichao's face revealed a hint of smugness.

"Although I obtained a random soul skill this time, the effect was quite good. Bishop Salas helped me hunt down a White Sky Wolf that was nearly five thousand years old. The soul skill I obtained after absorbing the soul ring is teleportation."

Tang Shan's eyes lit up as he read in classical Chinese: "Are there any restrictions? What about the consumption?"

"The amount of soul power used determines the distance of movement, there is no limit to the number of times, and the body itself must also bear part of the pressure of spatial movement when teleporting."

"Good, good, this skill is indeed extremely effective."

The bright eyes of Tangshan, though seemingly simple, contain considerable potential.

Putting everything else aside, the more soul power you use, the farther you can teleport, which absolutely exceeds the value of an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul ring, and may even far exceed it.

It should be noted that a Soul Master's Soul Power level can be increased, which means that the higher the cultivation level, the farther the teleportation distance. If one reaches the cultivation level of a Title Douluo, perhaps the Soul Skill at that time should not be called teleportation, but rather teleportation.

The realistic effect of its soul skills feels almost identical to that of the external soul bones that grow alongside the soul master.

The only limitation is probably the influence of physical fitness, but Tangshan has another idea regarding the so-called spatial pressure.

Spatial pressure is applied to every part of the body and intensifies with the distance of teleportation—isn't this a naturally designed method of physical training?

Under Tang Shan's wild imagination, Su Haichao was dumbfounded to find that he had actually overestimated the gains he had made after this breakthrough. It was like the First Emperor touching an electric wire – he had won big.

"Father, in your spare time these next few days, use your teleportation soul skill as much as possible to feel the upper limit of spatial pressure your body can withstand, so that you won't be caught off guard in case of an emergency."

As he spoke, Tangshan shook his head regretfully.

It's a pity, Father, that you absorbed the ten-thousand-year soul ring later on.

It requires a considerable amount of mental strength; otherwise, with your powerful physique alone, you might have been able to achieve a fifth ring in 30,000 years.

"Hey Shanzi, do you think it's possible to get a similar soul skill when your older brother breaks through?"

Tang Shan touched his chin and finally shook his head.

"Father, I estimate that your soul skill is so special because it was purely by chance that you were able to unleash the full potential of this soul ring. It is only because the other party's origin and your martial soul are very similar that you have such an effect."

If one were to actively interfere with the soul ring and soul skill through consciousness, it would be highly unlikely to obtain such a heaven-defying soul skill.

You essentially got the most suitable soul skill randomly, while acquiring a soul skill through conscious intervention is equivalent to suppressing a certain amount of soul skill potential to obtain the desired effect.

Is that so?

Su Haichao felt a little regretful, because if both of his sons could obtain this special soul skill, he would basically not have to worry about their safety in the future.

"Alright, Father, whether it's a random soul skill or a self-selected soul skill, it will ultimately be up to my elder brother to choose. One is a gamble, the other is a safety net."

I didn't expect random soul skills to have such an effect. It seems I've been somewhat dismissive of the traditional methods of soul master cultivation, which is unacceptable.

Seeing his son start to ponder again, Su Haichao gave Tang Shan a light tap on the head in annoyance.

"Why think so much? Get some rest today, and I'll give you the Martial Soul Awakening tomorrow."

Tangshan then realized that tomorrow was a crucial moment of life and death, so he should rest early today.

He suddenly remembered something and looked at Su Haichao, who was getting up to go to the Spirit Hall for work.

"Father, how about letting my eldest brother awaken my martial soul tomorrow...?"

"It's all right."

Su Haichao was somewhat surprised when he turned around, but since Martial Soul Awakening didn't require much skill, he simply agreed.

Chapter 12: Problems with the Original Martial Soul and Cultivation Techniques

As dawn broke, soft rays of light spilled across the land, awakening people from their slumber.

The people of Douluo Continent had already begun their day's work.

Inside the Awakening Room, a special facility of the Spirit Hall in Nottingham City used for awakening spirits, three figures—two large and one small—had been standing there for some time.

"Father, why can't we awaken our martial spirit until we're six years old?"

Tang Shan watched as his father personally set up the Martial Soul Awakening Formation, and asked questions out of curiosity.

"It's unclear. Even tracing back through history, the exact reasons remain unclear. Some people have tried to awaken their martial spirit before the age of six, but all of them failed, and some even suffered irreversible damage to their bodies."

While sketching a six-pointed star array, Su Haichao answered Tang Shan's question.

"In short, it seems that the rule of awakening a martial soul at the age of six was initially issued by the Spirit Hall, and there have been virtually no cases of failure among those who awakened their martial soul after the age of six. Therefore, this rule has been used to this day."

As the words fell, the final stroke was completely completed.

Looking at the six-pointed star array in front of him, Tang Shan was curious, wondering if this array was related to the soul tools of the neighboring mainland.

"Little brother, come here, your big brother will awaken your martial soul."

Su Yuntao rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation. Although Su Haichao had taught him how to awaken a martial soul before because he wanted Su Yuntao to take over the responsibility of the Spirit Hall in Nottingham City, this was his first time practicing it in practice. The object of awakening was his own younger brother, so how could he not be nervous and excited?

"Yun Tao, relax. Even if you fail, it won't have any impact. If you succeed in awakening this time, then you will be the Soul Master who awakens the Martial Soul in the villages under Notting City this year."

Su Yuntao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. Tang Shan was already standing in the six-pointed star formation.

Taking the six jet-black stones from his father's hands and placing them on the six points of the six-pointed star, Su Yuntao shouted in a deep voice, "Lone Wolf Possession!"

Claws gleaming with a chilling light sprang from Shi Gen's fingers, his pupils turned a ghostly green, his muscles bulged, and a powerful aura erupted, spreading outwards. A bright yellow soul ring appeared from his feet, slowly rising a distance before rhythmically moving up and down.

Faced with Su Yuntao's drastically changed appearance, Tang Shan remained unfazed. He had seen his elder brother's spirit possession many times before and was not affected by the fierce aura emanating from the Lone Wolf.

"Young man, carefully feel your body and draw out that awakened power."

As she spoke, streams of soul power were poured into the awakening array beneath her feet by Su Yuntao, and specks of golden light flowed into Tang Shan's body.

A warm current! Tangshan was the first to feel a warm current.

A warm current started from the soles of my feet and quickly spread throughout my body.

Subconsciously, he closed his eyes slightly, carefully sensing this wonderful state.

Meanwhile, outside, both Su Yuntao, who was awakening, and Su Haichao, who was standing to the side with his arms crossed, couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

Countless golden specks of light continuously surged out from the Awakening Array and then flowed into Tang Shan's body.

According to the records of the Spirit Hall, the grander the awakening scene, the higher the innate soul power, but the better the quality of the spirit.

Judging from Tang Shan's awakening of his martial soul, could it be that he awakened a top-tier martial soul?

After the warm current spread throughout his body, it was as if the other person had activated a switch inside his body. Following some special instinct, Tang Shan's mind stirred slightly.

Instantly, wisps of heat were drawn out from all parts of the body. Although they were only wisps, they originated from the whole body, and like drops of water forming a stream, they quickly gathered together and formed a special energy that automatically emanated from within the body.

As the warm current of awakening receded, the power originating from the martial soul revived, accompanied by the crisp cracking of bones, and Tang Shan grew taller once again.

A surge of energy welled up from my whole body and filled my mind, making me clear-headed and as sharp as lightning.

A phantom appeared behind Tang Shan and then crashed into his body.

After shaking hands, the abundant strength made Tang Shan feel that he was in better condition than ever before, but the information from his martial soul instinct also made him smile bitterly.

He finally understood why he had grown to 1.4 meters tall at the age of six, and he also understood the root cause of his physical attributes, which had gradually deteriorated before he awakened his martial soul.

What he awakened was his main body martial soul, which was the main body martial soul of his entire body, including his brain. It can be said that it was definitely one of the top martial souls in the Douluo Continent original work that he knew.

However, it's Battle 1 now, not Battle 2. Not to mention the Body Sect, even the Tang Sect is nowhere to be seen yet. Where is he going to find a method for cultivating the Body Martial Soul?

Good news! The answer to the awakening version has been revealed. Whether it's the second awakening, the third golden awakening, or the god-level flawless golden body, they all tell Tangshan that his future is promising.

The bad news has absolutely nothing to do with Tangshan, which is located in Douyi.

It's the correct version, but the version is wrong. The correct version for Douluo Continent I is Twin Martial Souls, Soul Bone Armor, and Divine Trial...

The answer in the Douyi version can be other, but it can never be the original martial soul.

"Little brother, what is your martial soul?"

Seeing that Tang Shan had not appeared with any equipment and had not developed any beast-like characteristics, only grown taller, Su Yuntao had a bad feeling.

Recalling the phantom that crashed into his little brother's body, which looked exactly like him, Su Yuntao's ominous premonition grew even stronger.

Su Haichao also frowned. He had witnessed the entire process of Tang Shan's martial spirit awakening, and he had a bad feeling about it.

"My martial soul is my entire body, which is also known as my physical martial soul."

Tang Shan answered crisply and decisively, quickly dispelling the disappointment he felt upon first waking up.

It's just a physical martial soul, right? People in Douluo Continent can figure out how to cultivate it, so why can't I do it with my own ideas?

"Little brother, don't be discouraged. Even if it's just a useless martial soul that's slightly better than Blue Silver Grass, it won't affect your cultivation. If it really doesn't work, your big brother will protect you in the future."

Hearing Su Yuntao's words of comfort, Tang Shan, who had already planned to conduct the research on his own, felt even more confident.

You may doubt my research abilities, but you will never doubt the vision of the "Blind God King." As far as he knows, all those whose innate full soul power he has called useless martial souls start as God Kings, and some even surpass God Kings.

Feeling that his soul power could no longer increase through the YiD method, Tang Shan said, "Isn't the saying 'a useless martial soul with full innate soul power' describing me?"

"Shanzi, come here, let's test your soul power."

Upon receiving the crystal ball from Su Haichao, Tang Shan felt an immediate surge of suction emanating from it, causing his soul power to be continuously absorbed as if a dam had been opened.

The dazzling light turned the blue crystal into a brilliant gold, shining on the faces of Su Yuntao and Su Haichao, who once again couldn't help but open their mouths.

"First, innate full soul power."

Su Yuntao was born with a stutter.

“My son Tangshan is worthy of an official title.”

Su Haichao excitedly slapped Su Yuntao on the shoulder. Regardless of whether it was a useless martial soul or not, his innate soul power was there, and his cultivation speed would definitely not be weak. Even if his combat power was insufficient later, he would still be more than capable of defeating a Soul Douluo with his soul power alone.

Even a weak account ban is still a ban; don't treat account bans like they're not human.

Ignoring his older brother's howling because he had been slapped by their father, Tang Shan's lips twitched slightly when he heard Su Haichao's words.

Dad, we shouldn't say things like that.

Back home, the three of them sat together.

Su Haichao observes the physiognomy of Tangshan.

"Shanzi, what are your plans for the future? How will you write them in the Spirit Hall records?"

Tang Shan pondered for a moment, "Father, you can just record the report submitted to the Spirit Hall truthfully. Although I have innate full spirit power, the potential of my physical spirit is what it is, so it won't have much of an impact. As for my future cultivation plan, I need to study my physical spirit further before I can make a decision."

Su Yuntao approached Tang Shan with ill intent. "Little brother, your martial soul has awakened. Shouldn't you start training too? Do you need my help?"

Tang Shan shoved his older brother's face away in annoyance. "Don't worry, I'll definitely call you when I train."

After discussing the precautions for cultivation, Su Haichao repeatedly reminded Tang Shan not to rush, and Tang Shan returned to his room to prepare for his first cultivation session.

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Tang Shan quickly entered a meditative state.

Even though he couldn't cultivate before his martial soul awakened, he had already mastered the first half of the cultivation process. He could easily calm his mind.

Next is to feel the martial spirit and draw upon the soul power between heaven and earth.

Following a premonition, Tang Shan's perspective, or rather his state of mind, shifted, and he felt his body was more real than ever before.

Muscle contractions, heartbeats, intestinal peristalsis...

This is its martial spirit: its true form.

At the same time, he easily sensed the soul power in the world. It really was...

At this moment, Tang Shan didn't know what to say. The soul power that he couldn't sense before was easily detected, and his mental power could be absorbed into his body with the slightest movement. It was as if he was in two different worlds before and after awakening his martial soul.

Absorb the soul power between heaven and earth, let it circulate in the meridians, and refine it into your own soul power.

Streams of soul power were drawn into his body, flowing along the two meridians in the basic meditation method given by Su Haichao.

The soul power did not increase, but the quality improved.

Time passed second by second, and after about an hour, Tangshan voluntarily stopped his cultivation.

It's not that he no longer has the spiritual power to draw in external soul power, but rather that his meridians have reached their limit. If he continues to force his cultivation, it may damage his meridians.

Now Tangshan roughly understands why a certain Third Brother was able to roam freely across the Douluo Continent with just one Xuan Tian Gong manual. There's no way around it; this most basic cultivation method is too inferior. According to Tangshan's understanding, it's just performing a small circulation in the Ren and Du meridians. The path to this circulation is so short that the speed at which external soul power can be refined is unimaginable.
