Douluo Continent: The Storytelling Immortal King, Shocking the Entire Continent

Yu Xiaogang sat upright in his armchair, his gaze sweeping coldly over the excited crowd. He then shook his head disdainfully and let out a cold snort.

"A foolish and ignorant mob."

"How could anyone actually believe the absurd claim that a three-year-old child could possess the strength of 100,000 jin?"

"The Soul Master world of Douluo Continent has stagnated because of people who don't study theory and blindly follow trends!"

Hearing the teacher's reprimand, Tang San immediately echoed respectfully:

"The teacher is right. These people were just fooled by Su Chen's exaggerated rhetoric."

"When Su Chen goes on stage later, once he starts to explain the lie about the 100,000 jin he mentioned yesterday, it will definitely be full of flaws."

"At that time, we will have to rely on you, teacher, to use your profound knowledge of martial spirits to expose his true colors."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, clearly pleased, a hint of pride barely managing to squeeze out from his stiff face.

"Don't worry, little sister. Now that I'm here, I will never let this kind of fallacy continue to poison Tiandou City."

"I'll show him what truly inviolable theoretical rules are!"

Just as the master and apprentice were singing in unison, full of confidence, preparing to expose the fraud.

Inside the yellow-branded private room on the second floor.

Dressed in fine clothes and disguised as a man, Xue Qinghe was holding a cup of tea, watching the scene below with great interest.

"Your Highness, this inn is far too chaotic. Should I go and clear out those commoners?" a guard asked in a low voice.

"No need."

Xue Qinghe waved his hand, but his gaze remained fixed on the back of the platform: "The most interesting sounds can often be heard in the bustling streets."

"I'd like to see who this Mr. Su, who has turned Tiandou City into a mess, really is."

As soon as he finished speaking, accompanied by extremely light footsteps, a figure in blue slowly walked up from behind the curtain onto the high platform.

In an instant, the entire Tingyuxuan seemed to be frozen in place, and all the noise stopped abruptly!

Thousands of eyes were fixed on the young storyteller holding a folding fan.

"Mr. Su! You've finally come out!"

"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened with those 100,000 jin yesterday! I didn't sleep a wink all night, and I even lost a lot of hair from worry!"

"Exactly! How could a three-year-old child possibly swing 100,000 jin (50,000 kg) with one arm? That's completely illogical!"

……

Looking at the eager yet skeptical faces below the stage...

Su Chen did not rush to speak.

He walked slowly to the long table, picked up a teacup to moisten his throat, and when his gaze swept over Yu Xiaogang, who had his hands behind his back in the front row, it only lingered for half a second before he looked away.

"Snapped!"

The next second, the gavel slammed hard onto the table.

"Continuing from where we left off!"

With a whoosh, Su Chen unfolded his folding fan, his voice low and deep, instantly pulling everyone back to that vast and ancient world.

"As mentioned yesterday, the little baby from Dahuangshi Village, at just three and a half years old, could lift a thousand-pound bronze cauldron with one hand and walk with incredible speed."

"It even mentions the extreme level of the Blood Refining Realm, where the physical strength can reach a staggering 100,000 jin!"

"I know that you guests are full of confusion and doubt."

"How could the human body possibly withstand such terrifying power? Wouldn't it crush the bones and burst the meridians?"

Su Chen's question resonated deeply with all the Douluo Soul Masters.

Yup!

Even if you are born with superhuman strength, there are limits to your bone density and the resilience of your blood vessels!

This is an absolute ironclad rule in the theory of martial spirits!

Are the people in that perfect world all made of iron?

Just as everyone pricked up their ears, ready to hear how Su Chen would defend himself.

Su Chen smiled slightly, then calmly explained:

"Ordinary flesh and blood are naturally insufficient to withstand the force of 100,000 jin."

"Therefore, in the perfect world, especially in that vast wilderness, in order for the children's physical bodies to withstand the terrifying power of the Blood Transformation Realm in the future, they must go through something."

At this point, Su Chen paused, his gaze sweeping across the entire room before he spoke, each word deliberate and deliberate:

"Medicinal bath!"

Medicated bath?

Upon hearing these two words, many Soul Masters in the audience showed expressions of "I knew it."

Yu Xiaogang, sitting in the front row, made no attempt to hide his sneer.

"I thought it was some kind of sophisticated method, but it turns out it was just a medicinal bath."

Yu Xiaogang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and commented in a voice that only those around him could hear, yet which was extremely arrogant:

"Medicinal baths for body tempering are common practice among the large families of our Douluo Continent."

"It's nothing more than using some mild, nourishing herbs to strengthen the body's foundation, supplemented with a small amount of low-level soul beast blood, to slowly nourish the child's meridians."

"While this method may be effective, trying to push your body to 100,000 jin (50,000 kg) through a medicinal bath is simply wishful thinking."

Tang San, standing to the side, nodded repeatedly: "What the teacher said is absolutely right. Medicinal baths should be gentle and gradual."

"If the medicine is too strong, the child's fragile meridians will be burst instantly, causing him to explode and die."

However, Su Chen's next words on the high platform were like a series of bombshells, shattering Yu Xiaogang's newly established sense of theoretical superiority!

"Gentlemen, do not use your meager imaginations to speculate about the medicinal baths of the Great Wilderness."

"That wasn't some gentle bath!"

"In Stone Village, every so often, the village chief would set up a huge black iron cauldron, light a roaring fire beneath it, and boil the water inside until it was completely boiling, bubbling and gurgling!"

"And this boiling water is just the foundation!"

As he spoke, Su Chen suddenly pointed his folding fan, as if depicting that horrifying scene in the air:

"Next, the adults will pour the true blood of the terrifying beasts they've hunted, one jar at a time, into that boiling cauldron!"

"The blood was a glaring, deep crimson, and even transformed into the phantoms of various ferocious beasts roaring and struggling within the cauldron!"

"Not only that, the old village chief will also bring out all sorts of highly poisonous substances treasured in the village!"

"There are giant centipedes, several feet long, covered in barbs, capable of killing hundreds with a single bite!"

"There are also highly venomous spiders the size of a water tank, with brightly colored bodies, and whose venom can corrode metal and stone!"

"And then there are those strange, old medicines, oddly shaped and emitting a pungent, fishy odor, gathered from deep mountains and marshes!"

"These highly poisonous substances, along with the true blood of those ferocious beasts, will all be thrown into that boiling black iron cauldron and boiled into a pot of medicinal liquid!"

Upon hearing this, a chorus of gasps filled the entire Listening Rain Pavilion.

Everyone's expression changed, and many nobles even felt a wave of nausea and wanted to vomit.

Boiling water? A highly venomous centipede? A poisonous spider? Plus the true blood of a ferocious beast? ???

This is hardly a medicinal bath!

It's clearly brewing a pot of deadly poison!

"This is insane! This is absolutely insane!"

"Putting these things together like this, let alone soaking them in, even just smelling them would probably cause someone to bleed from all seven orifices and die, right?"

"That's right. Even the Poison Douluo probably wouldn't dare to go in to bathe, let alone a child."

……

Within minutes, the audience was completely terrified.

However, Su Chen showed no sign of stopping, and his next words sent chills down everyone's spine.

"After the medicine is boiled..."

"The village men would then throw the five- or six-year-old children, or even seven- or eight-year-olds, directly into the boiling black cauldron, just like they were catching chicks!"

"And that three-and-a-half-year-old toddler was no exception; the old village chief personally put him inside!"

"The children were scalded and their skin was torn open inside the cauldron, screaming in agony, but the adults outside held the lid shut without hesitation, refusing to let them out!"

"Only under such agonizing torment, where life hangs in the balance, can the divine substances contained in the true blood of the ferocious beast, and the poisonous insects' ability to fight poison with poison, completely shatter the children's originally fragile bones and muscles, forcibly integrating the creation of heaven and earth into their marrow, thus reshaping an indestructible body!"

"This is the medicinal bath of the Great Wilderness!"

"This is also the foundation for the first step in reaching the Blood Realm!"

As Su Chen finished speaking, the entire Tingyu Pavilion erupted in excitement once again.

It wasn't amazement, but rather utter incomprehension.

Throwing a three-year-old child into a boiling pot of poisonous blood to cook? That's absolutely inhuman!

"Nonsense!!!"

Just as chaos was about to erupt in the hall, an arrogant voice suddenly came from the crowd.

It was Yu Xiaogang; he couldn't sit still any longer.

He suddenly stood up, his already stiff face twitching slightly with excitement.

Immediately afterwards, he clasped his hands tightly behind his back, raised his head, stared directly at Su Chen on the stage, and shouted angrily:

"Su Chen! You fraudster, there should be a bottom line when you fabricate stories!"

"Boiling poisonous insects in boiling water, supplemented with the blood of a raging beast? This is practically a deadly poison!"

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he strode forward, his voice booming, trying to ensure everyone in the room could hear his impeccable theory:

"The absorption of any energy must follow the principle of like repels like, and must be gradual!"

"The toxins of different kinds of poisonous insects, mixed with the blood of different ferocious beasts, will only produce an extremely terrifying energy repulsion!"

"Let alone a three-year-old child, even a powerful Title Douluo who jumps into this mutually repelling, highly toxic boiling water will be torn to shreds and turned into a pool of blood in an instant!"

"And yet you keep saying that the little baby not only didn't die, but actually had his body rebuilt thanks to this poisonous water?"

Yu Xiaogang sneered, then immediately pointed a finger at Su Chen, his tone extremely certain:

"This is utterly absurd!"

"The logic in your story has completely collapsed!"

"You're utterly insulting the theory of martial spirits!"

After Yu Xiaogang's resounding rebuttal, the many Soul Masters in the hall, who had been shocked, seemed to have found their backbone and nodded in agreement.

"This gentleman is right! The incompatibility of medicinal properties is common knowledge, even among ordinary doctors!"

"Boiling highly poisonous substances together with animal blood—that's not a medicinal bath, that's boiling meat!"

"I knew it! How could anyone survive in something like that? Turns out Su Chen was just making it all up!"

Beside Yu Xiaogang, Tang San also looked proud.

He looked at Su Chen on the stage, who seemed stumped by the question, and said loudly:

"Mr. Su, look at who's sitting in the audience before you speak!"

"This is none other than Master Yu Xiaogang, the foremost theorist in the Douluo Continent!"

"Faced with the teacher's invincible theory, your flawed lies have nowhere to hide!"

The leading figure in theoretical circles?

Master Yu Xiaogang?

Listening to Tang San's proud introduction, and looking at Yu Xiaogang below the stage with his arrogant face, as if he had completely exposed himself.

Even Su Chen on the high platform couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He was startled for a moment, then lowered his head and his shoulders began to tremble slightly.

"puff…"

At first, it was just a soft chuckle, but then the laughter grew louder and more unrestrained.

Finally, this ethereal, serious storyteller burst into laughter on the spot.

"Hahahahahahahahaha..."

"What are you laughing at?!" Yu Xiaogang frowned upon seeing this, feeling greatly insulted.

"What am I laughing at?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen abruptly stopped laughing and looked up at Yu Xiaogang, saying:

"I laugh at you, a piece of trash who can't even break through to the Great Soul Master level, for daring to claim invincible in theory!"

"I laugh at you for using the flawed, childish common sense of a lower-dimensional world to measure a truly higher-dimensional world!"

Su Chen's voice drifted over, instantly causing Yu Xiaogang's eardrums to ache and silencing the entire audience.

"Do you think what's being boiled in that cauldron is the blood of ordinary poisonous insects and wild beasts that you recognize?"

Su Chen unfolded his folding fan, then resumed his cold demeanor, looking down at Yu Xiaogang, whose face was somewhat pale, and added, word by word:

"Yu Xiaogang, do you know that the old village chief was baptizing and laying the foundation for the baby?"

"What exactly was that main ingredient he threw into the cauldron, the one whose true blood had been drained?"

"And do you even know that those little brats who grew up in the wilderness, resembling humanoid tyrannosaurus rex, are the same useless children you perceive them to be?"

"You should know that the main ingredient consists of ancient remnants, including even Suanni!"

"The Suanni is born with the power to control the thunder of the nine heavens, and its body is as large as a mountain."

"A fully grown, pure-blooded Suanni can shatter the heavens with a single roar, summoning countless bolts of lightning to raze the earth and level a mountain range spanning tens of thousands of miles!"

"And the true blood flowing through its body contains extremely violent thunder runes and destructive power."

After speaking, Su Chen looked at Yu Xiaogang below, whose face was growing increasingly ugly, with a mocking expression:

"Yu Xiaogang, you keep saying that energy repulsion will cause you to explode and die."

"That's because you have no idea how the humans in the Great Wilderness, through this kind of world-destroying thunderous true blood, have their originally weak bones shattered, and then, with the help of medicinal power, regenerate even more resilient flesh and blood!"

"They cannot build something new without destroying it; they live by facing death!"

"In the perfect world, how magnificent and boundless it is!"

"And yet you use your limited understanding—which is so weak you can't even defeat a hundred-year-old soul beast—to speculate on that level of high-dimensional laws?"

"Don't you think you're a frog in a well?"

"Your theory? It's utter nonsense, you idiot!"
