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

The outcome was predictable: Su Yuntao suffered a crushing defeat, much to Tang Shan's delight: "Brother, you're lucky, but I have the strength and the punches."

While learning from Golden Crocodile Douluo, Su Yuntao asked with some anticipation, "Teacher, when will I be able to defeat my brother?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's words plunged him into complete depression.

“Yun Tao, there are some people you don’t need to compare yourself to. Don’t assume your brother is using his full strength just because his body has changed so much. In reality, he probably hasn’t even used half of his true strength.”

After Su Yuntao embarked on his travels again, Tang Shan was relieved to be honest.

He really didn't know if letting his elder brother stay in the Prince's mansion any longer would attract some strange demons or monsters.

In just one month of living in the Prince's mansion, Tang Shan experienced a series of events, including provocation from the second son of a nobleman, being ganged up on in the Great Soul Arena, and a conflict with a collateral disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Tang Shan had never realized that the Prince's mansion could be so "lively".

"What's going on lately? Could it be that someone is trying to test me?"

Xue Qinghe's expression was indifferent, and his voice was icy and chilling.

The man from Tangshan, who was sitting opposite her, almost spilled the tea because his hand trembled while pouring it.

Your Highness, it's possible that someone isn't testing you; it's more likely that someone with the ability to cause incidents has moved into our home.

Tangshan couldn't say that, so he could only apologize to the angel in his heart and make up his mind to repay her properly.

Look at the trouble my older brother has caused this month. Luckily, he's left now and gone to wreak havoc on the mainland.

Burying his suspicions about the many powerful forces in his heart, Xue Qinghe looked at Tang Shan with a faint smile on his face.

"Tangshan, how are your preparations going? We're going to hunt spirit beasts tomorrow."

"Of course I'm fully prepared. With Grandpa Golden Crocodile around, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Tang Shan calmly replied that the hunting of spirit beasts, which had been repeatedly postponed due to various unforeseen factors, was finally about to begin. Sure enough, his older brother was the source of his hindering progress.

"But Your Highness, what exactly is that soul beast?" Tang Shan was so curious that he couldn't help but ask.

Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "It's a secret. You'll find out when the time comes."

Tangshan: I hate riddle people the most.

The first rays of dawn fell warmly upon me.

Tang Shan, dressed in casual clothes, and Jin E Douluo, in a simple robe, walked towards the gate of the mansion.

Xue Qinghe followed along, chatting with Tang Shan about various things.

"In fact, the Star Luo Empire's martial spirit has the potential to advance further, mainly because the Netherworld Cat's martial spirit is somewhat lacking in strength."

How to take it to the next level?

Xue Qinghe was somewhat curious.

"The White Tiger Martial Soul is a top-tier Martial Soul, while the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul is a high-level Martial Soul. What would happen if the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul were also upgraded to a top-tier Martial Soul, given the generations of intermarriage between the Dai and Zhu families?"

Xue Qinghe said, "So even if the throne belongs to the Dai family now, the martial soul of each emperor may not necessarily be the White Tiger; it could also be the Netherworld Cat."

"However, it is also possible for twin martial souls to appear, such as the Netherworld Cat and the White Tiger. It is even possible for a martial soul to awaken as the Netherworld White Tiger. Of these two, the former can try the self-martial soul fusion technique, while the other can directly fuse into a brand new martial soul."

Xue Qinghe fell into thought.

"Therefore, if the Star Luo Empire had thought of this, it would probably have produced many Title Douluos long ago, instead of having no Title Douluos at all on the surface now."

Tangshan couldn't help but shake his head. Such a good path for development had been wasted, which was truly a pity.

"Alright, Your Highness, we'll be going now."

Pushing open the gate, Golden Crocodile Douluo and Tang Shan stepped out together. Tang Shan greeted them, and Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded in return to Xue Qinghe.

Then, a vast and boundless soul power enveloped the two of them like glass. Golden Crocodile Douluo lightly stepped on the void, and his figure shot away like a streak of light. Tang Shan stood steadily in the soul power shield, and the houses and buildings under his feet rushed backward. In just a few breaths, the two figures completely disappeared into the horizon.

Xue Qinghe watched the two leave, and thinking of the soul beast that Tang Shan was going to absorb, he offered his heartfelt blessings.

"I hope you break through safely."

The powerful soul force transformed into an invisible barrier, firmly enveloping Tangshan and isolating it from the fierce winds and chill of the high altitude.

Golden Crocodile Douluo stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering in the wind, his eyes deep as an ancient well, calmly surveying the mountains and rivers passing below.

Suddenly, he glanced in the direction of Tiandou City, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, what's wrong?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo recalled the terrifying aura he had vaguely sensed earlier, and said in a deep voice, "A powerful figure appeared in Heaven Dou City just now, and he was very strong."

Tang Shan's heart skipped a beat. For Golden Crocodile Douluo to say someone was very strong, their strength must be at least that of a peak Douluo, or even a limit Douluo.

"What about His Highness?"

Tangshan has some concerns.

Remembering the function of the necklace around Xue Qinghe's neck, the Golden Crocodile Douluo, whose brows had been furrowed, relaxed again.

"It's alright. There are two guards over there, the Porcupine and the Serpent Spear. I also left some special methods behind, so nothing will happen. The most important thing for you now is to adjust your own condition. That soul beast is very powerful, and it won't be easy to absorb it."

Tang Shan had no choice but to calm his mind, sit cross-legged inside the energy shield, and enter a state of cultivation.

……

Life force poured down like moonlight, carrying the fresh scent of revitalizing plants. Bi Ji's pair of shimmering emerald wings slowly folded, and she landed silently at the edge of the dense forest outside Tian Dou City, as light as a feather.

With her soul power withdrawn, Gu Yue stepped out of the protective shield and looked at the majestic city in the distance with some curiosity.

Is this Heavenly Dou City?

During this time, after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yue and Bi Ji passed through many human cities, and the Tian Dou City in front of them was the most magnificent and imposing city they had ever seen.

I turned around instinctively and saw that Brigitte's expression was somewhat solemn.

Gu Yue's eyes narrowed: "Bi Ji, what's wrong?"

"My lord, a powerful human just left from another direction. His cultivation is no weaker than mine, and his combat strength may even be stronger than mine."

Brigitte explained.

She is a ferocious beast that has lived for more than 500,000 years. In terms of soul power cultivation, she is absolutely comparable to a human limit Douluo. However, in terms of combat power, she is at most a level 97 Title Douluo of the Power Attack type.

Originally, she thought there probably weren't many top-tier titled Douluo in the human world, and that her master would inevitably get injured while traveling. It would be more appropriate for her, a healing-type ferocious beast, to accompany Gu Yue to the human world. However, she was taken aback when they arrived at a large human city.

fortunately.

Brigitte touched a black dragon scale in her bosom. It was given to her and her master by the Beast God Di Tian when they set off, one for each of them.

In the event of a fatal crisis, it is sufficient to withstand the attack for an instant, a brief moment enough to alarm Emperor Tian and prompt him to open a spatial tunnel to arrive in time.

"My lord, should we wait and see?"

Brigitte hesitated for a moment.

Gu Yue shook her head: "There's no need. We should find Tang Shan as soon as possible and try to get in touch with the chosen one of the planes beside him."

With that, she took the lead and walked towards Tiandou City.

The soldiers of Tiandou City had exceptional eyesight. Although they were deeply attracted by Bi Ji's stunning beauty and abundant vitality, they knew that she was someone they couldn't afford to offend as soon as they saw her noble aura and the faint pressure emanating from her. They obediently let the two pass.

As soon as he stepped through the city gate, a wave of bustling noise hit him. Vendors on both sides of the street called out their wares loudly, and the sweet aroma of candied hawthorn, the smoky fragrance of roasted meat skewers, and the crispy aroma of pastry shops mingled together, making Gou Long's mouth water.

The diverse crowd, dressed in various ways, created a vivid and lively urban epic, deeply attracting Gu Yue's attention.

Instead of rushing to find Tang Shan, she simply strolled around Tian Dou City.

……

Three pairs of holy and dazzling six wings slowly folded, and golden light flakes fell from the edges of the shimmering wings. A faint holy pressure surrounded Qian Daoliu as he slowly floated down and stood steadily on the ground.

He looked up and saw the distant Death Canyon shrouded in layers of thick, gray-black mist, the vapor churning and swirling like the gaping maw of a monstrous beast ready to devour him. From the depths of the canyon came a chilling roar. The entire canyon exuded an aura of deathly stillness and violence, as if even the air itself was stained with blood and despair.

The two Douluo, Qianjun and Jiangmo, who were sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the town like two old gatekeepers, opened their eyes and rushed forward when they saw Qian Daoliu's arrival: "Big brother, what brings you here?"

Qian Daoliu's eyes opened and closed, his gaze sharp as a sword, as if he had glimpsed the prehistoric soul beast hidden in the layers of mist.

"Today, someone is going to absorb that guy inside."

The two Douluo, Qianjun and Jiangmo, were somewhat surprised: "Brother, who has such talent?"

Qian Daoliu said, "You all know this person, it's Tang Shan. The Second Elder is bringing him here."

"Big brother, are we really going to let that kid absorb it?"

Demon-Slaying Douluo hesitated for a moment.

"He is the best choice. Unless one is willing to become the sixth soul ring in the continent's history, an unprecedented event, ordinary people simply cannot withstand the terrifying energy of his soul ring."

Moreover, it's not feasible to keep people watching all the time. As the plan progresses, we may need more combat power, and we can't afford to waste our top-tier combat forces on this anymore.

Even if Tang Shan can't absorb it this time, he might still have to be dealt with when the real plan begins in the future. Since the spirit ring can be useful now, why not take advantage of it?

Since Qian Daoliu had already made his decision, Qian Jun and Demon-Slaying Douluo didn't say anything more. They were just a little curious about what kind of person this genius, who had always lived in legend, was.

P.S.: Some readers have already guessed the soul beast; guess the soul skill effects!

Chapter 164 The Hideout of Evil Soul Beasts, Mysterious Soul Beasts

As the sun rose to its zenith in the sky, Golden Crocodile Douluo's speed gradually decreased, and the rapidly passing scenery outside gradually became clearer.

Tangshan, who always kept some attention on the outside world, keenly sensed the change in speed and took the initiative to withdraw from his training state.

The place they were in was a wilderness far from human civilization, with towering mountains stretching endlessly into the distance until they disappeared into the horizon.

The ancient, verdant trees, stretching endlessly, drape the earthen-yellow hills in a mottled green coat, exuding a wild and rugged feel, yet amidst the vigorous branches and leaves, there is a sense of unbridled freedom and vibrant life.

Nestled among towering mountains, a small town is built against the mountainside, and the people coming and going in the town are all well-equipped soldiers.

The town flashed by in the distance, and Tangshan's gaze quickly fell upon a misty expanse ahead.

At the same time, the voice of Golden Crocodile Douluo also rang out.

"Do you see that mist? That's our destination. It's a special habitat for spirit beasts, mainly those with poison, darkness, evil, and death attributes."

After listening to Golden Crocodile Douluo's introduction, Tang Shan had a general idea of ​​his destination.

"Of course, there are other types of soul beasts inside, but they are very rare. Our target this time is one that I discovered by chance, and speaking of which, it has something to do with the external soul bone in your hand."

"Is it related to the Titan's hand bones?"

Tangshan was somewhat surprised.

"Yes."

Golden Crocodile Douluo said, "To be precise, I found a skeleton and a soul beast back then. That soul beast is our target this time, and the skeleton can now be confirmed to be the remains of the ancient alien soul beast Titan. Your external soul bone comes from it."
