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

He's so good at it!

With her mind blank, Xue Qinghe instinctively avoided Tang Shan's gaze and turned her head away, her voice tinged with panic: "Anyway, I've already reminded you that although the forces behind me aren't the same as the current Pope's, we can still offer the same terms as them. I really don't want to lose you, my right-hand man, my capable assistant."

Tang Shan: "I will not fail Your Highness!"

"That's alright then. I'll go to the palace first and ask my father for permission to go to Wuhun City together."

After speaking, Xue Qinghe stood up and walked quickly toward the gate of the mansion, giving the impression of fleeing in panic.

Tang Shan was somewhat bewildered, wondering why the angel lady's departure seemed so sudden. He subconsciously glanced at the Golden Crocodile Douluo lying beside him. The Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled awkwardly: "Perhaps Your Highness is also very much looking forward to visiting Spirit City, after all, it might be your first time there."

Tang Shan's lips twitched, and he thought to himself: You wanted to call her Xiaoxue just now, didn't you? How come you still haven't changed this habit after all these years? And isn't this reason a bit far-fetched? After all, shouldn't Qian Renxue have grown up in Wuhun City since she was a child? How could this be her first time going there?

On one side, Tang Shan was criticizing the far-fetched reason given by Golden Crocodile Douluo, while on the other side, Golden Crocodile Douluo was also surprised by Xue Qinghe's sudden self-exposure.

In fact, he was very happy about Xue Qinghe's self-disclosure. After all, it was one thing to have Dugu Yan, but now there was Gu Yue as well. He was afraid that if things continued like this, who knew how many more opponents Xiao Xue would have in the future.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxue only revealed half of her identity, and crucially, her gender was still not revealed, which was a bit awkward.

Xue Qinghe's reasoning seemed reasonable, but Golden Crocodile Douluo's reaction was incredibly sharp, and with so many years of experience, he discovered a huge bug almost instantly.

Xue Qinghe calls him Grandpa Golden Crocodile, but he comes from the Spirit Hall. Xue Qinghe still considers himself the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, which obviously creates an extremely strange contradiction.

Logically speaking, the behind-the-scenes forces and the apparent supporters should be in a relationship of manipulation and being manipulated, that is, there is a clear hierarchy. He can usually say that he is Xiaoxue's elder or a hidden force of the Heaven Dou Empire to fool people. In any case, as long as the identity of the force behind him is not revealed, there is always a possibility that it is outrageous. Calling him Grandpa Golden Crocodile is not a big deal.

But things are different now. The power behind Xue Qinghe has surfaced, and it is clearly the Spirit Hall. Xue Qinghe calling him Grandpa Golden Crocodile now looks extremely abrupt and glaring. For someone who is being manipulated to call the powerful figure of the manipulator "Grandpa" is practically writing "There is something wrong with my identity" on his face. With Tang Shan's keen senses, Golden Crocodile Douluo believes that the other party must have noticed it shortly after the bug appeared.

Thankfully, Tangshan remained Tangshan and did not harbor any doubts despite guessing that Xue Qinghe's identity was problematic. They continued to treat each other as before. It can only be said that these old guys were right for once, unlike last time when they misjudged Bibi Dong.

Thinking of this, and recalling Xue Qinghe's earlier words, Golden Crocodile Douluo felt his temples throbbing and his head throbbing terribly—the atmosphere had just been incredibly warm; Tang Shan's heartfelt words had even made this old man's heart flutter, and he'd almost moved his recliner aside to make room for the two little ones. He'd mentally rehearsed the rest of the story a hundred times: Xue Qinghe, moved by the moment, would readily drop her disguise, openly revealing her true identity as a woman, and the two would understand each other perfectly, leading to a happy ending. But alas, at the very last moment, little Xue had messed things up again!

They're my god, ...

If it weren't for knowing Xue Qinghe inside and out, and knowing that she never hides anything from these old guys, even the Golden Crocodile Douluo would have been tempted to suspect that this girl might have accidentally absorbed a piece of external soul bone called "mouth" when she absorbed her soul ring back then? Otherwise, how could her mouth be as hard as a piece of black iron, and the words she uttered still have the air of a superior relying on a subordinate!

……

Back in his room, Tang Shan lay on the bed, reflecting on the day's events, and soon realized something was wrong.

No, Miss Angel, you still consider yourself the Crown Prince of Tiandou? Then it's really strange that you called Grandpa Golden Crocodile before.

Upon noticing the disturbance, Tang Shan sat up, wanting to check if there was another Title Douluo in the room who was planning to silence him or something. However, the surroundings were completely quiet; there wasn't even a mosquito, let alone a Title Douluo.

Tang Shan fell into deep thought: First of all, Miss Angel might not be able to notice this problem, but the cunning Golden Crocodile Douluo would definitely be able to detect it. As a result, almost ten minutes have passed and no one has come to "check the water meter," which means that he tacitly agrees that I have noticed that Xue Qinghe's identity is problematic.

Thinking of this, Tang Shan felt relieved and lay back down on the bed. As long as he was tacitly approved and the Limit Douluo didn't come knocking on his door, everything would be fine. Although he was very confident in his strength after the breakthrough, he could at most fight a Soul Saint. As for the Limit Douluo, he couldn't fight him, he really couldn't fight him.

His thoughts returned to Tang Shan, who remembered the angel lady's disguise: "It seems that all I don't know about the angel lady is her gender and identity. I'll keep trying." Tang Shan was looking forward to the day when he could completely expose her disguise.

Once all of the other party's identities have been revealed, should I also proactively reveal my own?

The thought lingered in Tang Shan's mind for a moment before he dismissed it without hesitation.

It wasn't that Tang Shan didn't trust Xue Qinghe; he believed he could guarantee his safety when he decided to expose his master's identity. It was just that after spending the last few years together, he noticed that Xue Qinghe's attitude towards the master's identity seemed a bit off.

He often praised the master's profound theories in front of him. Although this has been decreasing over time, Tang Shan is worried that one day when he takes off his disguise, Xue Qinghe will suddenly find out that the master he always praises is Tang Shan. Will he be so angry that he will draw his angelic sword and chop him up?

For your own safety, this secret must be kept to yourself. You must also remind your father and elder brother when you have the chance that the "master" is just Tang Shan and Su Yuntao's mysterious teacher and has no other identity. In particular, you must never reveal the bombshell that Tang Shan = master.

……

On the wide streets of Tiandou City, Biji led Gu Yue around. Her eyes glanced around casually, and she seemed to see something. She asked with a hint of helplessness, "My lord, have you eaten a lot again?"

Gu Yue blinked: "How did you know?"

With a smile, Brigitte took out a handkerchief and wiped Gu Yue's mouth: "My lord, you didn't finish your cream."

Gu Yue froze for a moment, then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

“My lord, you are eating too much. This is too different from what ordinary humans do, and it is easy to attract attention.”

Brigitte couldn't help but offer her helpless advice.

This time, Gu Yue was very confident: "Don't worry, Bi Ji. I said that my martial soul is a silver dragon, and eating a lot helps with cultivation. In addition, I need a lot of energy and blood to increase my physique. These two reasons are enough to cover up the doubts of humans. Moreover, I don't eat much. I just follow the amount of food that Tang Shan eats."

Brigitte was speechless, and could only say that she was indeed worthy of her lord, and truly possessed "astonishing wisdom".

"By the way, I'm going to Wuhun City in a while, and you'll have to come with me, Biji."

Gu Yue looked at Bi Ji.

Biji frowned slightly, her eyes revealing worry: "My lord, that is, after all, a place where all the top human soul masters gather. Isn't that a bit risky?"

"So, we're bringing another ferocious beast along, just in case?"

Recalling the reminder from the goddess's successor, Gu Yue seemed to be deep in thought.

Chapter 204 Gu Yue's Caution, Encounters and Intimacy

This time, we're going to Wuhun City, a gathering place for powerful human beings, not to mention the existence of the Angel Temple within Wuhun City.

Faced with such an environment, Gu Yue, though fearless, did not want to attract the attention of the divine realm above because of some powerful human beings.

Moreover, she is currently undergoing a period of rebuilding, and forcibly regaining some of her past life's strength would inevitably worsen her injuries, which would be a losing proposition.

For her own safety, she'd better send another ferocious beast over.

With this thought in mind, Gu Yue began to ponder the ferocious beast he had summoned.

According to the goddess inheritor, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex human force is suspected of attacking me. Since it is the third strongest sect in the world, its strength should not be too bad, after all, the first sect and the Spirit Hall have so many titled Douluo.

Recalling the powerful and domineering aura he felt in a mountain range before he started cultivating again, and the imposing auras of those who were below the gods and close to the pinnacle of humanity in the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship, Gu Yue couldn't help but take the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan even more seriously.

Since powerful individuals might be coming, let's send some strong and ferocious beasts instead.

Di Tian's cultivation level was very close to the limit set by the gods, so he should continue to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest. However, just in case, Di Tian should be prepared to take action remotely at any time.

Under the Emperor's Heaven, let Xiong Jun, who normally possesses the combat power of a Limit Douluo, come over. With his Dark Gold Terror Claws and formidable defense, he should have no problem breaking out in an emergency.

Once she had made up her mind, Gu Yue looked up at Bi Ji and said, "Inform Di Tian to have Xiong Jun come to Tian Dou City, and tell Di Tian to be prepared to take action across space."

Brigitte nodded in agreement, secretly relieved. It was rather difficult for a mere Emerald Swan to fight, but thankfully her lord had made arrangements in advance.

In terms of cultivation, Xiong Jun is far inferior to her, but in terms of combat power, three of her wouldn't be enough to defeat Xiong Jun.

With Xiong Jun's presence and Di Tian ready to intervene at any time, this trip to Wuhun City should be foolproof, right?

……

In the valley where the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is located, an old man with dark green hair sat cross-legged, his dark green soul power surging through his body, creating waves.

His aged body was trembling slightly, but as time went on, the trembling became more and more violent.

As the sun rose and the moon set, and the first hint of dawn appeared on the horizon, the old man slowly withdrew from his meditative state.

Without hesitation, he took out a porcelain bottle from his soul tool, poured out a milky white pill, and swallowed it directly. As the pill entered his stomach, energy emanated, and streams of cool air soothed his aching and swollen limbs. Dugu Bo couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"My poison body forging has taken another step forward. Give me another three years and I will be completely immune to my own deadly poison."

Feeling his physique improve further, Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction. His soul power lifted him to his feet, and he glanced at the somewhat empty Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. He suddenly felt less angry about Tang Shan's raid.

Yan Yan should be coming back from school today, right?

Recalling how his granddaughter had been diligently training at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy these past few days, hoping to break through to the Soul Master level before the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a little heartache.

Without further hesitation, he soared into the air, his wide gray robe fluttering in the sky, his slender figure breaking through layers of miasma as he sped towards the direction of Tiandou City.

After an unknown amount of time, the rushing water broke the tranquility of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Two mysterious and ethereal immortal herbs emerged from the Ice and Fire Spring, took root anew on the earth, and absorbed the essence of heaven and earth.

The hazy and vast consciousness quietly receded, merging anew into this boundless天地 (heaven and earth).

……

Time flies by, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Tiandou City, Crown Prince's Residence

The emerald light vanished from everyone's mind and vision, leaving only the once stunning figure as proof of its existence.

Two gray beams of light shot out from the blind spot of the obstacle, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, heading straight for Tang Shan's face in the training ground, so fast that only a blur remained.

Tang Shan remained calm and composed, his gaze serene and unwavering, showing no sign of losing sight of his opponent.

The gray light arrived in an instant, and just as it was about to touch his chest, there was a slight tremor. The purple soul power suddenly condensed in front of his chest into a smooth, protective mirror. The moment the light touched it, it instantly turned into gray-white stone and cracked inch by inch.

The breastplate shattered upon impact, causing no real damage to Tangshan.

At the same time, the surging blood and qi in Tangshan's body had already converged and condensed wildly at the Shangqu acupoint, gathering inward like a collapsing galaxy, and condensing into a solid and scalding blood pill; the next moment, the blood pill suddenly exploded like a cosmic singularity, and violent blood and qi surged throughout his body!

Boom—

A terrifying power instantly filled his limbs and bones, and a savage will condensed between his fists and palms. Tang Shan's body swelled up in response, and his physique grew several feet in size as his tendons and bones were stretched. His muscles were as tough as cast iron, his arms were as thick as stone pillars, his fascia was stretched to the limit, and his bones and muscles made a soft popping sound.

The heavy footprints thundered onto the ground, and fine cracks spread rapidly outwards from the footprints like a spider web, stirring up clouds of dust.

call!

With its robust body generating a howling wind pressure, Tangshan charged forward without hesitation, following the direction of the danger it sensed.

Emerald-colored poisonous fog appeared out of nowhere, instantly enveloping him. Wherever the fog passed, the ground sizzled and was corroded with scorch marks, but when it landed on Tang Shan, it didn't leave even the slightest mark.

Wow!

He walked straight through the fog, unable to detect his opponent with either his mental power or his vision. However, relying on his keen sense of crisis, like a cicada sensing the autumn wind before it even blows, he reached out and grabbed at the empty area!

"what--"

A soft cry suddenly rang out, and Tang Shan's palm touched something warm and soft. There was no one in his sight, but there was a soft and fragrant body in his arms. A light fragrance lingered around his nose and was refreshing.

Suddenly, a cool, slippery, emerald-green snake tail wrapped around his waist and abdomen. The tip of the tail curled up slightly, struggling in a panic. The touch against his skin was cool yet supple.

Immediately afterwards, two fair and slender arms wrapped around his neck, their wrists gently tightening, pulling her body even closer, her slightly cool fingertips inadvertently brushing against his chin.

Tang Shan, helpless, released a wisp of terrifying will. The snake tail wrapped around his waist and abdomen instantly stiffened, and the arms around his neck obediently loosened their grip and stopped struggling.

"Yanyan, you've lost. It's time to withdraw your soul skill."

Seeing that Dugu Yan was still not visible in his vision and spiritual power, Tang Shan gave a helpless reminder.

"Ok."

Before Tang Shan could react, the arms around his neck tightened around his neck.

In the pavilion nearby, Xue Qinghe, who was wondering why Dugu Yan had suddenly been defeated, was furious when he saw this scene. Dugu Yan's figure suddenly appeared in Tang Shan's arms. Two white arms tightly wrapped around his neck, her chin resting lightly on his shoulder, and a jewel-colored snake tail wrapped around his lean waist. The tip of the tail even lightly brushed against his side. The posture was too intimate.

Click-click——

The white jade teacup in her hand instantly became covered with fine cracks, and her knuckles turned white from the force, as if it would shatter at any moment.
