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

"I'll go there; at least I can bring those arrogant fools to their senses, and that will save you some trouble."

Since Xue Qinghe had said so, Tang Shan naturally didn't refuse anymore. After all, he also disliked those fools who provoked him for no reason. Reality is not like a novel; being provoked and then "showing off and getting slapped in the face" is not a pleasant thing. It is precisely because the other party is not afraid enough that they dare to act recklessly.

Tangshan hopes to be like Haotian Douluo in the original work, using his prestige as a walking "face-saving fruit".

……

Under the same large, leafy banyan tree, Golden Crocodile Douluo took out a completely black communication soul tool from his storage soul tool, and poured his abundant soul power into it like a thin stream.

After a while, the communication was connected, and Qian Daoliu's gentle voice came from the soul tool, "Second Elder, how have you been lately?"

"Thank you for your concern, Grand Elder. I am safe and sound, and have arrived safely in Heaven Dou City." Golden Crocodile Douluo replied in a deep voice with a hint of respect in his tone.

"How is Xiaoxue doing? Has she encountered any trouble?" Qian Daoliu was already used to Golden Crocodile Douluo's respectful manner. He had thought of correcting him, but he had never been able to, so he could only let the other party be.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he immediately got to the heart of the matter, inquiring about Xue Qinghe's recent situation with concern.

"Xiao Xue is doing well," Golden Crocodile Douluo succinctly relayed. "She has gained the great trust of Emperor Xue Ye and has even won over Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."

In the Hall of Offerings, a relieved smile immediately appeared on Qian Daoliu's face beneath the statue of the angel. He subconsciously ignored the rest of the information relayed by Golden Crocodile Douluo; for him, as long as his granddaughter was safe and well, that was enough.

"By the way, Second Elder," Qian Daoliu was in a good mood after hearing about his granddaughter's recent situation, and then he remembered another purpose of Golden Crocodile Douluo's trip, "Have you seen Tangshan?"

"I have seen him. This is the main reason why I contacted the Grand Elder this time." The hoarse and aged voice of Golden Crocodile Douluo, tinged with solemnity, came from the soul tool.

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu's relaxed expression instantly vanished, and he subconsciously sat up straight, his tone becoming more serious: "What is the Second Elder's evaluation of him?"

"A genius of extraordinary talent, a prodigy of unparalleled genius!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's words made Qian Daoliu fall into thought.

Without pausing, Golden Crocodile Douluo continued, "Tang Shan is seven years old this year, with a soul power of level 23, and two thousand-year soul rings! In terms of combat power, ordinary soul kings are definitely no match for him; even if he encounters a soul king with a top-tier martial soul like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus or the Clear Sky Hammer, as long as his soul power is not exhausted, a draw is not a problem."

"Such a prodigy..."

"In my opinion, his talent is at least as good as Tang Chen's back then, and may even surpass him in the future!"

“At least comparable to Tang Chen…” Qian Daoliu repeated these words in a low voice, his tone distant and complex. He raised his eyes to look at the majestic angel statue in front of him. The gilded statue gleamed with a cold luster in the dim light of the hall. His usually calm and unwavering eyes were now filled with ripples.

After a long silence, he sighed softly, "I never imagined that such a person could appear in this world..."

Chapter 132 Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Internal Hierarchy of the Academy

"Given Tang Shan's extraordinary talent, I hope the Spirit Hall will allocate more resources to nurture him. After all, there is no other genius with such exceptional talent on the entire continent."

Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice was calm and undisturbed.

"Oh, right, and also, the external soul bone that he and that beast dug up together was absorbed by Tang Shan."

Hearing what Golden Crocodile Douluo said next, Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised: "How is that possible? So many people from the Spirit Hall tried, how come he was the one who successfully absorbed it?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo: "I don't know either. Maybe it's because his main spirit is similar to the owner of the external spirit bone. By the way, Grand Elder, we have confirmed the identity of the spirit beast remains based on the spirit skills attached to the external spirit bone. It is an ancient alien species, Titan, a superior race of Titan Giant Ape."

"So it was them." Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment, then his voice came from the soul tool: "Alright, I agree. Try to mobilize resources to cultivate Tang Shan. I'll keep an eye on the Pope."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's agreement, Golden Crocodile Douluo was very satisfied and continued, "We Spirit Hall have raised that beast for so long, so let's make Tang Shan's third spirit ring. However, Tang Shan's physical condition is still a bit lacking. We may need the Grand Elder to help us find some rare and precious materials to enhance his physical condition."

"Can Tangshan absorb it? You know, although that beast is only close to ten thousand years old, the strength of its soul power is not so easy to withstand."

Qian Daoliu had some doubts.

"The Grand Elder underestimated the amplification from Titan's left metacarpal bone. After Tang Shan absorbed it, his physical attributes doubled. Considering his natural growth, according to my plan, he will need at most 20,000 years of additional lifespan."

"Twenty thousand years? That's manageable. I'll go check the treasure vault these next few days to see if there are any treasures like that."

"By the way, Grand Elder, I remember you placed a rare and precious treasure in Tiandou City. What are the effects of that treasure? If it's suitable, I'll give it to Tang Shan to use."

The rare and precious materials of Tiandou City?

Qian Daoliu was somewhat puzzled. He seemed to have such an impression in his mind, but he wasn't sure.

"It seems so, but I seem to have forgotten exactly what was placed there. Second Offering can go and take a look. If it's useful, it can be given to Tangshan."

"Okay, I'll go take a look in the next few days."

After Golden Crocodile Douluo finished speaking, he hung up the communication. Qian Daoliu was still pondering what exactly he had left behind in Heaven Dou City.

His gaze inadvertently fell on the statue. God, God!

Finally, under the influence of the keyword "god," Qian Daoliu, recalling the Seagod Island, suddenly realized what kind of evil thing he had placed in Tiandou City.

Damn, I remember I had just broken through my limits back then. I went to the sea and hunted down a 100,000-year-old whale-like spirit beast. I brought the rest of the corpse and spirit bones back to the Spirit Hall, but I kept the whale glue for myself, hoping that I and Poseidon could use it in the future. And then, and then that was it. Poseidon said that she hoped that men could become gods, and indirectly rejected me. Disheartened, I casually left that 100,000-year-old whale glue at the local Spirit Hall when I passed through Heaven Dou City.

Instinctively, Qian Daoliu subconsciously took out his communication soul tool again, wanting to call back Golden Crocodile Douluo and tell him that there was a 100,000-year-old whale glue inside the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City, and that there was no need to go see it. However, he stopped halfway through taking out the soul tool.

Isn't this tantamount to revealing that he has a piece of 100,000-year-old whale glue? The effects of whale glue are well known. If Golden Crocodile Douluo knew this news, wouldn't he also know about his own little schemes when he was young? Moreover, does having whale glue mean that he is incompetent?

He was extremely conflicted. If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter; they could just see it. Did they want to test the sharpness of his Angelic Holy Sword?

However, Golden Crocodile Douluo is no stranger; in a sense, he is still his elder. If the other party were to see this, it would be like some parents finding an opened "balloon" on their child's desk—it would be incredibly frustrating.

Qian Daoliu never imagined that his youthful ignorance and careless leaving things lying around would plant such a huge seed of trouble for him.

"Big brother, are you alright? Why do you look a little strange?"

Qianjun Douluo happened to pass by and noticed Qian Daoliu's indescribable expression. He was puzzled and asked him with concern.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about some things from my youth, and I felt a little melancholy."

Qian Daoliu turned around, his back to Qianjun Douluo, his voice extremely complex, his right hand trembling, and he ultimately lacked the courage to unleash the soul tool he was gripping.

As the saying goes: it's better to die late than early. As long as Golden Crocodile Douluo doesn't ask any questions, he'll pretend he knows nothing.

……

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is located twenty miles outside Heavenly Dou City. The academy covers a vast area, encompassing an entire mountain range.

Tang Shan and Xue Qinghe set off at dawn and arrived when the sun was fully up.

A huge plaque hangs above the gate, with the gilded characters "Tian Dou Royal Academy" written in vigorous strokes. The edges are inlaid with a circle of lustrous white jade, which reflects a warm and majestic luster in the morning light.

The gate is ten zhang long and three zhang wide. The wall made of blue stone blocks stretches for several miles, blending seamlessly with the majestic Tiandou Mountain range behind it, forming a natural barrier.

The wall was covered with ancient, deep green vines, with a few pale purple buds scattered among the drooping tendrils. Morning dew slid down the leaves, adding a touch of fresh and lively vitality to the solemn atmosphere.

Putting everything else aside, the decor alone exudes an extraordinary aura that makes one yearn for it.

The guards on both sides of the gate were all dressed in soft armor, with extraordinary bearing. Faint fluctuations of soul power emanated from them, clearly indicating that they were all Soul Masters.

Using Soul Masters as gatekeepers is a grand gesture that Tang Shan had only seen before with the Heaven Dou Imperial Guard, demonstrating the Heaven Dou Empire's emphasis on the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The carriage stopped in front of the academy. After the guards noticed the insignia on it, five of them approached and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."

The remaining guards remained in place, fulfilling their duties.

Tang Shan, who saw this scene through the carriage door, thought to himself: "Well-trained."

"Alright, let's go down."

Xue Qinghe stepped down from the carriage first, smiling as he stepped forward. "Please rise, everyone. Thank you all for your tireless efforts in guarding the Royal Academy."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

The leader of the five guards looked at Xue Qinghe: "Does the Crown Prince have any orders?"

"I have other important business to attend to today. You just need to keep watch."

Xue Qinghe declined the guards' offer to accompany him and led Tang Shan into the academy.

Looking back at the guards who had rejoined the group, he asked, "Your Highness, are they all Soul Masters?"

"That's right, they are all Soul Masters from the military. A new batch of them will be rotated every quarter to guard this place and protect the safety of the academy students."

Upon hearing Tangshan's question, Xue Qinghe nodded in response.

She glanced at the Serpent Spear Douluo and Tang Shan who were following beside her, and stretched her body. To be honest, she rarely had the opportunity to move around so freely. When she went out, for safety reasons and for the sake of the prince's pomp and circumstance, her carriage was usually surrounded by a large entourage and noisy crowd. It was impossible for her to be as relaxed as she was today.

Tang Shan curiously surveyed the interior of the Tiandou Royal Academy: upon entering, there was a wide road paved with polished bluestone, with fine, light green moss growing in the gaps. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the stone slabs.

The road was wide enough to accommodate a dozen carriages side by side, and the only people coming and going were students dressed in fine clothes, without any vehicles disturbing them.

The students' uniforms come in three styles, corresponding to white, yellow, and purple respectively, all made of high-quality silk fabric: the white version is embroidered with a martial spirit totem in silver thread; the yellow version is trimmed with gilded piping; and the purple version has the words "Tian Dou" (Heavenly Fighting) on ​​the sleeves in silver thread.

Against the backdrop of their magnificent school uniforms, the male students stood tall and straight, while the female students stood gracefully, exuding an aristocratic air.

After crossing the main road, there is a tall building with snow-white walls that gleam in the sunlight. On the walls are painted huge martial spirit patterns: Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, Xuanwu Turtle, Azure Vine, etc., with bright colors and lifelike appearance, as if they are about to burst out of the wall at any moment.

"This is the main teaching building. The top floor is the working area of ​​the three Soul Douluos who make up the teaching committee. Since you were granted an admission spot by His Majesty, we can go directly to those three Soul Douluo seniors to register."

Xue Qinghe introduced himself to Tang Shan and went into the pavilion first, followed closely by Tang Shan. Meanwhile, the Serpent Spear Douluo stopped downstairs. Clearly, he was afraid of attracting the attention of the three Soul Douluos by going up. After all, he had only just broken through to the Title Douluo level, and he still couldn't easily conceal himself when facing an opponent of similar level.

The main teaching building has six floors. The first floor is the library. Looking down the stairs, rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged, reaching the ceiling. The bookshelves are filled with yellowed ancient books and brand-new books on Soul Master theory. The rich smell of ink mixed with the unique scent of ancient paper wafts over, and the soft morning light coming in through the windows makes people feel calm and want to immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge.

"The first floor is the library, the second to fourth floors are the theoretical teaching areas, the second floor is for students at the Tianwei level, the third floor is for students at the Tianzhi level, the fourth floor is for students at the Tiandou level, the fifth floor is the office space for all the teachers, and the sixth floor belongs exclusively to the three education committee members. You may not enter without permission."

Xue Qinghe led Tang Shan up the winding staircase, which was made of ancient wood and had a warm and smooth feel. Each step was polished flat and delicate, with small anti-slip patterns carved on the edges. As you went up the staircase, you could faintly hear the sound of your footsteps echoing in the empty corridor, which made you unconsciously quiet down.

As they went upstairs, Xue Qinghe introduced the college to Tang Shan.

"Your father has asked you to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. With your strength, Tang Shan, becoming a Heaven Dou-level student directly is no problem. However, there is a requirement for soul power. Before you show your strength, you will have to be a Heaven Supreme-level student for a while."

Tangshan also had some understanding of this. Apart from the three Soul Douluos, all the teachers and students at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy only had three levels: Heavenly Micro Level, Heavenly Supreme Level, and finally Heavenly Dou Level.

As far as teachers are concerned, the cultivation level of a Heavenly Dou teacher is at least Soul Emperor, the cultivation level of a Heavenly Supreme teacher is at least Soul King, and the cultivation level of a Heavenly Subtle teacher is at least Soul Sect Master.

For students, those in the Heavenly Dou Academy are at least Soul Venerables, those in the Heavenly Supreme Academy are at least Great Soul Masters, and those in the Heavenly Micro Academy are at least Soul Masters.

Although Tang Shan's combat power is ridiculously high, his soul power level is not up to standard. Before he can show his strength, he is still a Heavenly Supreme level student.

As for the top-tier treatment promised by Emperor Xueye, that refers to preferential treatment in teaching and training resources, and has nothing to do with the student's level.

P.S.: I'll add at least one extra chapter today, maybe even two.

Chapter 133 Enrollment, Meng Shenji's Reminder

The staircase winds upwards, looping and ascending in concentric circles, the wooden steps flowing with each step, quietly connecting the upper and lower levels.

Before long, Tang Shan, led by Xue Qinghe, reached the top floor and gently knocked on the door. After a moment, an aged voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Xue Qinghe pushed open the door and entered, followed closely by Tang Shan.

This is a spacious and solemn hall, about a thousand square meters in size. Warm yellow light shines on the Soul Master reliefs on the walls, outlining their ancient and dignified contours.

A faint sandalwood scent filled the air, creating a serene and solemn atmosphere.

At the far end of the hall, three giant sandalwood tables were arranged in a triangular pattern. Behind each table sat an old man, dressed in a black suit specially made for Soul Douluo by the Spirit Hall. Gold and silver threads intertwined on the suit, and a huge humanoid pattern with three pairs of wings was faintly visible.
