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

Ultimately, it's hard to say whether you can find anything suitable for yourself by scavenging from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Traveling all that way just for a large amount of resources that you can't use is really not worth it.

He wasn't the leader of any powerful force; he was content with just himself and had no one else to worry about. There was no need for him to care about those other minor benefits.

Once the thought was made up, Tang Shan's somewhat flustered heart returned to calm. He looked at Gu Yue seriously and said, "If you need any help in the future, just let me know. I will remember this favor."

"If you need any help from our Azure Serpent family, just let us know."

Dugu Yan also answered seriously.

Gu Yue wrinkled her little nose: "Didn't we say we were friends? Since we're friends, it's normal to give each other gifts, right?"

Tang Shan smiled and said, "You're right. It's normal for friends to give each other gifts, and it's only right to help each other. If you need anything in the future, don't hesitate to ask me. Here's my hundred-odd pounds of meat."

Gu Yue nodded in satisfaction, her eyes bright and she was very excited.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Many people may not have been able to see Xiong Jun and Bi Ji clearly because of the distance and the fact that it was night, but the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex is a well-known name that any Soul Master would surely know.

Tonight, under the effect of the thunderous power released by the two Title Douluo, the sky was as bright as day. Their distinctive Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul True Form and the simultaneous surge of two yellow, two purple, and five black soul rings were truly intriguing, not to mention the pitch-black dragon claw that finally emerged from the spatial rift.

Thinking of the two Title Douluos of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Tang Shan couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. According to his speculation, the 100,000-year soul bone seized this time was most likely the core inherited soul bone of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, rather than belonging to the Jade Dragon Peak father and son, since they did not have a 100,000-year soul ring.

Two Title Douluos, suspected to be from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, appeared in public and fought with a mysterious powerful figure. They were eventually captured by a mysterious Dragon Martial Soul Master, and their fate remains unknown.

The news spread throughout the convoy in a very short time. Xue Qinghe did not stop it, and besides, she couldn't stop the news anyway. After all, they were all Soul Masters from various advanced Soul Master academies, and she was only the nominal leader. These people were not her subordinates.

After the news spread, various special communication methods stirred up ripples again, and this time the commotion would be even more intense than the battle between Tangshan Soul Master and Soul Saint.

Two Title Douluos have died in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex sect. Are there any Title Douluos left in the sect? If not, this may be an opportunity for us.

Such thoughts will inevitably emerge one after another after the news spreads, but all of this is basically irrelevant to Tangshan. After a night of rest, even though most of the Soul Masters did not sleep in the latter half of the night, the convoy still set off on time again, speeding towards the direction of Wuhun City.

As for the impact of insufficient rest, sorry, there was no impact at all—the incident of the suspected fall of a Title Douluo-level being became a topic of conversation as the convoy traveled. Soul Masters from different Soul Master Academies discussed it with each other, expressing their own opinions. The fatigue of the journey had long been forgotten, and all that remained was the excitement of talking about Title Douluos and the Third Sect in the World.

As a result, there have been instances where arguments escalated to the point of physical fights. Fortunately, they calmed down very quickly in the end, and at most, they only suffered minor injuries. With the help of healing soul masters, they could recover in a day or two and would not have any impact on the competition.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and the convoy gradually slowed down. In the distance, the outline of a magnificent city could be seen faintly.

Xue Qinghe was not in the carriage at this time, but was riding a tall horse and leading the procession at the front. His dignity as the crown prince, who had been in charge of state affairs for many years, was naturally revealed, and he possessed a reassuring power.

"Set up camp here and depart at dawn tomorrow for Wuhun City!"

Xue Qinghe glanced at the setting sun, which was gradually sinking in the west, and instead of rushing on his way, he ordered the team to rest on the spot and enter again tomorrow.

She had thought it through clearly. Although Wuhun City seemed to be in sight, it would probably take two or three hours to actually get there, which would be close to dawn. Even if she could enter Wuhun City, she would definitely be exhausted. Rather than that, it would be better to rest for a day in advance and go in tomorrow.

Upon hearing Xue Qinghe's order, the group of Soul Masters stopped their carriages and began setting up camp.

It has to be said that Xue Qinghe's reputation among the Soul Masters has also risen rapidly during this period. Normally, a prince without much talent for cultivation would not be taken seriously by these Soul Master geniuses. However, Xue Qinghe has his own charm buff, is very fair and reasonable in handling conflicts between Soul Masters, and most importantly, he has Tang Shan standing behind him.

This led to Xue Qinghe's prestige being established rapidly.

As for your question about what this has to do with Tangshan, Tangshan said it's nothing more than his self-righteousness, his refusal to submit to His Highness's discipline, his provocations, and then being humiliated by His Highness's arrogance.

Throughout the entire process, Tang Shan did not use any soul skills, but simply swept away a group of geniuses. Coupled with his previous absurd record of defeating a seven-ring soul master with only a three-ring soul master, and his clear support for Xue Qinghe, many arrogant soul masters quickly became obedient.

……

"Your Highness, you seem a bit distracted these past few days?"

Xue Qinghe stared blankly at the burning campfire. Tang Shan walked to her side and asked her with concern.

Xue Qinghe paused for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his face: "Is it that obvious?"

Tangshan: "You've been spacing out a lot lately."

Xue Qinghe bit her lip. Although she had made up her mind that day to find an opportunity to meet Bibi Dong after arriving in Wuhun City, that was all she could think of. She didn't know how to start the conversation after they met.

"Tangshan, if you have to meet someone you don't particularly want to see, how should you get along with them?"

Tang Shan naturally wouldn't say that he usually wouldn't meet if he didn't want to; instead, he began to think about the problems Xue Qinghe was facing.

According to his speculation, the only person who could make Xue Qinghe so worried right now is the current Pope Bibi Dong. The angel lady's question suggests that she might be going to meet the Pope after arriving in Wuhun City. It makes sense, considering that she is the Crown Prince of Tiandou on the surface and it is perfectly normal for her to meet the Pope. In reality, the two are mother and daughter, although both sides are currently trying their best to deny it.

Do you want to see Bibi Dong?

Tangshan rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, his mind racing, before finally speaking slowly:

"Your Highness, please do not have a conflict, do not argue with emotions, remain calm and restrained."

Hearing Tang Shan's proposed solution, Xue Qinghe was somewhat confused. Tang Shan grinned and said, "Only by remaining calm can you see her attitude more objectively. Besides, she doesn't want to meet you in the first place. If you meet her with your own emotions and become more invested, it will be a huge loss."

When you meet someone you don't want to see, Your Highness, what you need to do is not to gain anything, but to minimize your losses.

Upon hearing Tang Shan's suggestion, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but chuckle: "It's clearly a meeting with someone, but you're making it sound like you're doing business?"

"It's about doing business. Although I don't quite understand why you should meet someone if you don't like them, once you've met them, you should minimize the potential harm they might cause, instead of having a direct confrontation, getting all your emotions involved, and ending up feeling extremely frustrated regardless of whether you win or lose."

Xue Qinghe's smile gradually faded as he thoughtfully pondered Tang Shan's words.

The flickering campfire cast a reddish glow on their faces, and then everything gradually fell silent.

……

Spirit City, the core of the Spirit Hall, stands majestically at the border of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires. It is a sacred place in the hearts of all spirit masters across the continent, and countless spirit masters travel thousands of miles to this place just to personally witness the majesty of this city exclusively for spirit masters.

The Wuhun City is roughly hexagonal in shape, about one-sixth the size of the Tiandou City, yet it exudes a sense of solemnity and grandeur. The city walls are constructed entirely of specially made, black, and hard boulders, with the stones joined together tightly and seamlessly. Despite the passage of time, they remain indestructible, and sunlight casts a cold, dark glow on the walls.

The city walls were towering and thick, wide enough for two carriages to travel side by side at high speed. Every few feet on the top of the walls stood a Templar Knight, clad in gleaming, fine armor with clear patterns. Their soul power fluctuations were steady and refined, and their postures were as upright as pine trees, silently guarding the city gate. It was clear at a glance that they were the elite troops carefully selected by the Spirit Hall.

The long convoy of vehicles arrived at the gate of Wuhun City. Xue Qinghe stepped forward and negotiated for a while. Soon after, the heavy city gate slowly opened inward, and the wide streets inside the city came into view.

"Enter Wuhun City!"

After Xue Qinghe gave the order, the entire team entered in an orderly manner, one by one.

Tang Shan got off the bus and slowly walked through the heavy city gate, where the entire Wuhun City came into view.

The streets were exceptionally wide, enough to accommodate several carriages side by side. The ground was paved with smooth bluestone slabs, polished to a glossy finish without any potholes. Walking on them was a light and easy experience, and the carriages passed by without any bumps.

Shops of varying heights lined both sides of the street, and the buildings of all kinds were arranged in a well-organized manner without appearing cluttered. The lintels of each shop exuded a simple yet grand atmosphere, and the shops displayed all the necessities of a Soul Master, including Soul Guidance Devices, Soul Beast Essence Blood, Cultivation Pills, and Martial Soul Manuals.

All the passersby were emanating soul power fluctuations, and without exception, they were all soul masters, ranging from low-level soul warriors to high-level soul masters and soul kings. Every now and then, a powerful soul power aura would sweep past, which Tang Shan keenly sensed and captured.

Of course, the "powerful" mentioned here refers to Soul Masters or Soul Kings, whose Soul Power level is higher than Tang Shan's, not Soul Saints whose combat power is similar to Tang Shan's.

Chapter 236 Soul Tools from the Douyi Era, Su Yuntao's Relentless Pursuit

Wuhun City has its own rules: if you are not a Soul Master, you cannot stay for long. Even if you are a nobleman, you will still be expelled.

Here, there are no nobles or ordinary people, only Soul Masters.

Tang Shan doesn't want to say much about this approach of directly classifying Soul Masters into a completely new class, but it must be acknowledged that class will not disappear and will objectively exist. Compared to the imperial noble class, the Soul Master class is much better. At least ordinary people have the opportunity to become Soul Masters and reach the peak.

After entering Wuhun City, the Tiandou team first registered, entered their information about participating academies, and were assigned accommodations before being completely released from restrictions and allowed to move around freely.

Gu Yue was already dazzled by the dazzling array of food on the street, and dragged Bi Ji and Xiong Jun along to start sweeping through the streets one by one.

Since Dugu Bo had come this time, Dugu Yan couldn't force herself to stay by Tang Shan's side, so she could only accompany Dugu Bo on a leisurely stroll through Wuhun City.

After Xue Qinghe arrived in Wuhun City, she also had a lot of things to deal with. With no other option, Tang Shan could only wander around Wuhun City alone.

What interested Tang Shan the most were the many shops that sold soul tools. He randomly picked one along the street and went inside. Inside, he saw a woman who looked to be around thirty years old. When she saw Tang Shan's appearance, which was at the pinnacle of human theoretical beauty, her eyes lit up: "Young man, what do you need? Just tell me."

Tang Shan paused in his tracks, unsure whether it was because he was too vulgar or because the beautiful woman's words themselves were strange, but he had a feeling that she was making inappropriate advances, though he had no proof.

"I want to see the soul tool."

Tangshan's voice was calm.

"Please come with me."

The beautiful woman swayed her mature body, trying to grab Tang Shan's arm and show him around, but Tang Shan shook her off with a strong jerk of his arm.

"Just tell me directly."

Tang Shan was speechless. He was incredibly unlucky to have encountered such a person so soon after arriving in Wuhun City. He began to hesitate, wondering if he should switch to another shop.

Seeing that Tang Shan had knocked her away, a hint of regret flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes, but she quickly readjusted her emotions and began to introduce the soul tools in her shop to Tang Shan.

During the conversation, Tangshan asked a few questions, and the beautiful woman's answers were somewhat unexpected, but upon reflection, Tangshan felt they were quite reasonable.

After the beautiful woman's introduction, Tang Shan gained a general understanding of the Soul Tools of the Douyi era. It turned out that, contrary to his guess, not all the methods of making Soul Tools had been lost; some methods had still been preserved.

Come to think of it, the light-gathering and amplifying soul tools are so common in the Great Soul Arena. It would seem absurd if they were all excavated from ruins. Now Tangshan has learned that these two types of soul tools can be directly manufactured.

However, although some methods for making soul tools exist, they are not clearly classified into different levels like in the Douluo Continent II era. In addition, the soul tool blueprints themselves are very precious, which means that soul masters who can make soul tools generally have extremely high soul power levels.

According to what he knew, even the worst soul tool maker was at least a Soul Emperor. He was dumbfounded when he heard this news, but after thinking about it carefully, he roughly understood the reason.

Ultimately, these are only partial blueprints for soul tools, not the soul tool system of the future Sun Moon Empire. This makes the materials for making soul tools extremely precious, and they cannot be replaced using systematic soul tool knowledge. With limited materials, it is natural that soul masters with higher soul power levels have a higher success rate in making them.

Meanwhile, Tangshan was gathering information about soul tools, while in Sunset Forest, something equally significant was happening.

……

Awoo!

The long, mournful howls of wolves pierced through the forest and echoed deep within Sunset Forest. The pungent stench of blood mingled with the restless energy of the fleeing wolves, spreading like dark clouds through the woods.

A series of rapid, heavy thuds resounded as hooves crushed fallen leaves and pebbles. Gray and black shadows, accompanied by strong winds, darted through the woods at breakneck speed, accompanied by the sounds of breaking branches and birds flapping their wings in alarm.

Several powerful spirit beasts in the forest initially wanted to peek out and display their might, but after seeing the true faces of the group of dark figures, they immediately fell silent and hid, not even daring to release their auras—it was the Bloodstained Demon Wolf pack, a formidable foe they dared not provoke.

This pack of blood-soaked demon wolves was covered in short, gray-white fur, except for their blood-red eyes. They were as agile as arrows, their movements swift and fierce. Even when fleeing, their formation remained perfectly intact, demonstrating the ultimate in group cooperation.

They are known as the "collective hunters" of Sunset Forest. Individually, they are not particularly strong, but when they go in groups, their combat power is terrifying. They are also extremely petty and vengeful.

Once, a Soul Master accidentally killed a blood-soaked demon wolf cub, only to be relentlessly pursued by an entire pack of demon wolves. Even though the Soul Master was weak, the wolf would still attract other powerful Soul Beasts to surround and trap him. Normally, when fighting, they would take turns chasing and exhausting their prey, and once the prey was exhausted, they would swarm in and devour it.

Today, however, this pack of wolves, led by the Bloodstained Demon Wolf King, is fleeing for their lives, their limbs almost flying off the ground, as if a cataclysmic disaster is following them and can devour them all.

Even more astonishingly, a young man was perched on the back of the ancient, blood-soaked wolf king. The young man gripped the wolf king's thick, stiff mane tightly with both hands, his body pressed against the wolf's back, resisting the gale and turbulence, as if afraid of being thrown off by the terrifying speed.

Su Yuntao faced the howling wind in his ears, his heart filled with frustration and bad luck. Since leaving the Crown Prince's residence, trouble had followed one after another: first, a minor nobleman from Tiandou tried to kidnap him to blackmail Tang Shan, but underestimated his strength and was killed by him; then the pursuit never stopped, initially by scattered Great Soul Masters, later by a team of Soul Venerables, and even by a Soul Sect leading a group to besiege him.

If it weren't for the deep fusion of his martial soul, which brought his combat experience and instinctive reactions to their peak, he would have already perished in the relentless pursuit.

Su Yuntao was speechless: If you have something to say, go find Tangshan. What kind of skill is it to keep staring at me like this!

He had also figured out his underling's ability to cause trouble. Over the years in the Crown Prince's residence, Tang Shan must have made many enemies. Since these people couldn't do anything to Tang Shan, they set their sights on him, the "Big Brother Tang Shan" who wandered around everywhere. As for Su Haichao, as a member of the Spirit Hall, messing with him would be tantamount to slapping the Spirit Hall in the face, and no one dared to touch him easily.

Sigh! Su Yuntao felt the wolf king's body surging beneath him, a bitter smile on his face—in the end, I had to bear it all alone.

If Tangshan knew his thoughts, he would surely feel extremely wronged: A person should know their own limitations. Although the matter started because of me, they only acted after I appeared, which is worth pondering. Don't completely shirk responsibility; you also need to look for the reasons within yourself.

Hey!
