Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 3 Beginning Cultivation

Lying in bed, Ye Liangchen deduced the cause of his parents' death. Based on his understanding of the Douluo Continent storyline, Ye Liangchen made the following assumptions.

Tang Hao's parents were probably hunting spirit beasts with Lan Xiaodie to obtain spirit rings in preparation for advancing to the Title Douluo level. At that time, Tang Hao was likely being hunted by the Spirit Hall and had to hide all over the continent. It just so happened that he encountered his parents and their group in the Star Dou Forest.

To ensure his identity wasn't exposed, Tang Hao killed people to silence them. His parents and Yun Hanxing died in battle, and Lan Xiaodie only escaped with their help.

Among the many titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent, very few are truly good people; their hands are stained with blood, and they disregard morality entirely for their own benefit.

Tang Hao could even scheme to steal his own soul beast wife's soul ring, and he had even ventured into the City of Slaughter. He was ruthless and decisive, and he was perfectly capable of killing a few unrelated people.

Logically speaking, his parents possessed a martial soul fusion skill, making their combat power comparable to Tang Dachui at the time. Although Tang Dachui was a Title Douluo then, he was still injured, so it should have been difficult for him to kill his parents.

Could it be that a god intervened to protect Tang San? Or did the Time and Space Administration deliberately give him a background of having his parents sacrificed to the heavens, making him incredibly powerful?

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's mother changed their names to protect themselves, which seems to indicate a rather complicated situation.

However, these are just Ye Liangchen's speculations. There is no evidence, and he cannot be sure. He will have to become stronger to find the truth.

Tang Dachui is now a level 95 Title Douluo with a 100,000-year soul ring and the Soul Ring Detonation Technique. There are very few people on the entire continent who can defeat him. Before you can completely overwhelm his strength, you have to play it safe and develop your strength cautiously.

"Now that I've come to this world and am here at Tianshui Academy, in order to prevent these young ladies from getting involved in future wars, I will rule the Douluo Continent from now on. I want ninety-nine percent of the entire world."

Ye Liangchen set himself a small goal, but to realize this dream, he had to have the ability.

So he used his mind to take out the Hunyuan Technique and Foundation Establishment Pill from his game backpack, preparing to start cultivating. Only by tempering his body could he possibly absorb soul rings beyond his level and crush those geniuses in the future.

The early bird catches the worm; in the world of cultivation, the earlier you start, the better. Tang San from the neighboring Holy Soul Village had been cultivating various techniques from the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record since he could walk, and Ye Liangchen, also a transmigrator, naturally couldn't fall behind.

In this cruel world where the strong rule, only overwhelming power can grant one the authority to rule the world and enjoy the company of beautiful women.

"Buzzing..."

With a thought, Ye Liangchen summoned three ancient scriptures and a small jade bottle in his hand. Upon opening the bottle, he found about 20 golden pills inside, emitting an intoxicating fragrance that refreshed the mind and body.

"Truly worthy of being called the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Then look at those cool words on the bottle: "Swallow one golden pill and you're set for life, my destiny is in my own hands, not in the heavens."

"Damn! Isn't this just bragging?"

Ye Liangchen carefully examined the small print below, which at most described it as forging the strongest foundation and physique for Soul Masters.

"For the Douluo World, this kind of treasure is more than enough."

Ye Liangchen took out a Foundation Establishment Pill and swallowed it. As soon as the pill entered his stomach, it immediately transformed into pure energy, nourishing every part of his body. He felt warm and comfortable all over, and his strength seemed to have increased a lot.

"Not bad. We need to find a way to give the Foundation Establishment Pill to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er to improve their aptitude."

"But how can we do it without giving ourselves away?"

"Got it."

Ye Liangchen remembered the candy snacks that Aunt Lan usually bought for him, so he took out two Foundation Establishment Pills and put them in the candy snack box, planning to give them to them later.

I'm so talented!

"Wow! This Hunyuan Technique is actually divided into three volumes, that's really impressive!"

"As expected! All the awesome techniques are divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower."

Ye Liangchen glanced at the scriptures on the Hunyuan Jue and felt that it had potential.

The Hunyuan Technique is divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower. Each part has nine realms, and the third part can reach the ultimate supreme realm, marked as (not something that ordinary people can cultivate).

"Hmm! So, only someone like me, with all the advantages, can cultivate to the Supreme Realm! Interesting!"

Ye Liangchen didn't know what level the Supreme Realm was in this world, but he estimated it should be higher than the level of the Creator God, which was much more advanced than the Mysterious Heaven Skill of his neighbor's mistress.

"The primordial unity of the five elements is both tangible and intangible, containing the mechanism of Yin and Yang, which gives rise to all things through opening, closing, gathering, and dispersing."

The primordial energy, possessing supernatural powers, gathers into a line and disperses into the wind.

The primordial energy is all-pervasive; when it gathers, it forms a line; when it disperses, it becomes energy.

The primordial energy... disperses without leaving a trace.

The primordial energy... disperses without a trace.

Upper Hunyuan, Lower Hunyuan, Outer Hunyuan, Inner Hunyuan, Middle Hunyuan, Hunyuan Hunyuan, One Hunyuan.

Clear and bright, with the stars of Bing and Ding in my heart, I look to the Seven Stars on the left and the Southern Dipper on the right.

Hunyuan encompasses everything and contains everything; it is infinitely large and infinitely small. Hunyuan is all things in the world, and the Qi of Hunyuan is also the meridian energy of all organs in the human body.

Ye Liangchen sat cross-legged on the ground, and began practicing the first chapter of the incantation and movements.

"Sitting cross-legged brings peace of mind, relaxation and tranquility."

Lips and teeth gently closed, breathing slowly and gently, hands clenched firmly, eyes looking straight ahead, gathering divine light, reaching the heart of heaven.

It enters the Niwan point and descends to the Qixue point, remaining there continuously and gently, requiring little use.

When the Qi in the Dantian is abundant, the Du and Ren meridians work in parallel, preventing dangers and considering risks. The Qi circulates according to the meridians, circulating throughout the body and promoting smooth flow.

"When the Qi returns to the Dantian, the practice is complete and the method is clear."

Following the incantation in the scripture, and combining it with the movements and breathing methods shown in the picture, Ye Liangchen clearly felt a flow of energy circulating in his meridians, which was quite miraculous.

"The reason why there were no cultivators on Earth in the past was mainly because the spiritual veins were severed by the ancients, resulting in the absence of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, which led to the lack of cultivators."

"The soul power in Douluo Continent is equivalent to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so it shouldn't be a problem to use it to cultivate this kind of technique."

After cultivating for an hour, Ye Liangchen noticed a layer of gray impurities on his skin, which also had an unpleasant odor.

"Wow! This is eliminating impurities from the body. This technique even has the function of cleansing the marrow and removing unwanted hair. It's like a super beauty filter effect. In a word, awesome!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Liangchen was very excited. He immediately got up, rushed into the bathroom, took off his clothes, and took a refreshing shower to wash away the impurities on his body.

"As expected of a super technique, I achieved such good results on my first practice. My whole body feels refreshed and my physical strength has increased a lot."

Ye Liangchen put the Hunyuan Technique and Foundation Building Pill into his game inventory, and then took out the Five Elements Divine Fist, intending to observe it and try to cultivate it.

"Huh! This isn't the Five Elements Fist, it's like this?"

The Five Elements Divine Fist is a style of boxing based on the forms of five animals: dragon, snake, tiger, leopard, and crane. The dragon form cultivates the spirit, the tiger form cultivates the bones, the leopard form cultivates the strength, the snake form cultivates the qi, and the crane form cultivates the essence. The five forms are practiced alternately, and the training also includes mental techniques and footwork. It is a top-level martial art that cultivates both internal and external skills.

Each form of the Five Elements Fist has six major forms and thirty-six minor forms.

Tiger Fist: Black Tiger Tests Claws, Tiger Paws Climb the Wind, Hungry Tiger Searches for Sheep, Black Tiger Sits in the Cave, Fierce Tiger Stretches its Waist, White Tiger Pushes the Mountain.

Leopard Fist: Leopard's Golden Body, Earth Basin Tear and Fold, Leopard Piercing the Cliff, Leopard Playing with a Ball, Golden Leopard Facing the Sky, Golden Leopard Straight Punch.

Snake Fist: Bagua Snake Form, White Snake Spitting Tongue, Poisonous Snake Crossing the Road, Two Snakes Dividing the Road, White Snake Coiling Around a Rat, Poisonous Snake Guarding the Cave.

Crane Fist: White Crane Spreads Wings, Wild Crane Seeks Food, Male Crane Imprints Feathers, Long-Legged Crane Stands Alone, Crane Claws Imprint Sand, Ice Crane Guards Plum Blossoms.

Dragon Fist: Double Dragons Dropping Tail, Golden Dragon Offering Claws, White Dragon Turning Head, Dragon Qi Across the River, Coiling Dragon Probing Claws, Swimming Dragon Retreating.

Ye Liangchen carefully memorized the movements in the boxing manual, and then, in conjunction with the mental techniques, began to practice them.

"Huff huff..."

"I'm so tired."

An hour later, Ye Liangchen collapsed to the ground, his whole body soaked in sweat. He was still young and his stamina couldn't keep up. In addition, it was his first time cultivating, so his movements were not smooth.

"Take your time! There's plenty of time later."

Ye Liangchen got up, rested for a while, then went into the shower room, took a nice warm bath, and prepared for his afternoon nap.

"Most Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent acquire Soul Skills by hunting Soul Beasts. Very few can create their own Soul Skills. Feng Xiaotian's self-created 36 Consecutive Slashes of Gale Wolf shocked everyone at the Soul Master Competition. However, this is also due to the limitations of this world. The older a Soul Master gets, the slower their Soul Power increases. Therefore, many Soul Masters focus on cultivating their Soul Power while they are young and do not have the time or energy to create their own Soul Power."

"With this divine fist technique, once I master it, I can transform my soul power into five forms: dragon, snake, tiger, leopard, and crane. My combat power will likely be comparable to those soul skills, and others will even think I created my own!"

Ye Liangchen imagined that when he fought his opponents in the future, he would use his soul power to create dragons, snakes, tigers, leopards, and cranes. That scene would be very cool.

"Tang San, are you ready? Hehehehe..." Ye Liangchen's lips curled into a smirk.

Having just started cultivating for the first time, Ye Liangchen was exhausted. Lying on the soft bed, he quickly drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, in Notting City, Fasno Province, in the mountains behind Holy Soul Village, Tang San, who was cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, felt a chill run down his spine, as if someone was watching him.

"Who?"

Tang San immediately stopped cultivating, holding a small stone in his hand, his gloomy eyes glowing with purple light. He looked around but found no one, so he resumed cultivating.

"Anyone who poses a threat to me, no matter who they are, has a way to die," Tang San thought fiercely to himself.

Meanwhile, in the distant forest, a man in black robes, observing Tang San's strange cultivation method and his purple-glowing eyes, muttered to himself, "Is this really my son? Could he be the reincarnation of some old monster?"

The man in black robes was Tang Hao. Seeing that his son's lifestyle was different from that of normal children, especially his eyes, which were far too mature, Tang Hao felt as if he had swallowed a fly. He was extremely uncomfortable.

"Could this be what happens when a child is born from a soul beast? Oh well, it's Ah Yin's flesh and blood after all. I'll observe for a while longer. If it really is some old monster possessing my body, don't blame me..."

After a while, Tang San finished his cultivation, quickly got up, and ran down the mountain.

"This kid's not simple!..."

Tang Hao was shocked to see how quickly Tang San could walk. He sighed and quietly left the forest, quickly returning to his hut to take a nap. Tang San did not notice any of this.

……

After this cultivation session, Ye Liangchen slept soundly, unaware of how many hours had passed. In his drowsy state, he felt as if someone was pinching his face, and his nostrils were a little itchy.

"Achoo..."

Ye Liangchen was woken up by a sneeze and found Shui Yue'er lying next to his face, scratching his nostrils with her hair.

"Hahaha……"

"Little Chen, get up and eat! It's almost dark."

Shui Yue'er's soft and lovely voice rang in Ye Liangchen's ears. When the girl saw Ye Liangchen sneeze, she burst into laughter.

"Sisters, your get out of class is over."

Ye Liangchen realized it was already late, and Shui Bing'er and her sister had already brought him his food, so he had no choice but to get up.

"You slept until dark, get up and wash your hands, then eat your food."

Shui Bing'er placed the three lunchboxes she was carrying on the table in the outer hall and called Ye Liangchen to get up and eat.

"Thank you, both of you sisters."

Ye Liangchen immediately got up quickly, washed up, and then went to the hall to have dinner with the two beautiful young women.

"When will Aunt Lan and the others be back?"

Lan Xiaodie and her group, along with more than a dozen advanced students, went to hunt soul beasts 20 days ago. Ye Liangchen was very worried, after all, they were his only remaining family in this world.

"Don't worry, my mother and grandmother are here. They are both Soul Douluo level cultivators, my aunt is a Soul Saint level cultivator, and there are also three Soul Emperor teachers. They will be fine and will be back soon," Shui Bing'er comforted her from the side.

"I'm four years old now. In two more years, I'll be able to awaken my martial spirit, and then I can start cultivating too."

"Xiao Chen will definitely awaken a powerful martial soul and become a titled Douluo in the future."

"Xiao Chen, I have something to tell you! Soul Master cultivation..."

While eating, Shui Bing'er and her sister told Ye Liangchen about some knowledge of Soul Master cultivation. Ye Liangchen listened attentively. Although he knew about Soul Master cultivation from novels in his previous life, he still needed to learn more about the details.

I'm just a four-year-old now, so I have to try my best to play the role of a child well.

When I reach the Soul Venerable level, I will give the Hunyuan Technique to my family and relatives, and then lie and say that it is a self-created technique, so that I won't be exposed.

After finishing his meal, Ye Liangchen remembered the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he picked up a box of candy snacks from the table next to him and pretended to eat them, intending to let the two little girls inadvertently consume the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Big sisters, ah... open your mouths and eat the candy."

Ye Liangchen picked up the two Foundation Establishment Pills, mixed them with two candies, and fed them to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er respectively.

"Ah ah..."

"Mmm! These candies are delicious."

The Shui sisters chewed on the candy beans, feeling warm and comfortable all over. They didn't suspect anything, but they were touched by how good their younger brother was to them, which warmed their hearts.

"That's how I got them to take the Foundation Building Pill. I'm so clever!" Ye Liangchen thought to himself, giving himself a mental thumbs up.

With the Foundation Establishment Pill's blessing, these two little girls' cultivation path will be much easier from now on. We should also smuggle the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well later to help their martial souls evolve; we can't let Tang San have that kind of opportunity.

Two hours later, it was already dark. Ye Liangchen returned to his room, preparing to observe the Five Elements Divine Fist again, as there were still many moves and footwork he was not yet familiar with.

The two sisters, Shui Bing'er and Shui Bing'er, stayed in their mother's room next door. After all, the adults weren't there, and they didn't feel comfortable leaving the little ones alone.

Cultivators cultivate their souls; cultivators are superior beings.

After observing the Five Elements Divine Fist and practicing for a while, three hours had passed and dawn was approaching. Ye Liangchen took a bath and then went to sleep.
