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

Upon hearing the name "Yu Xiaogang," Bibi Dong's calm expression shattered instantly, replaced by shock. She stared intently at Qian Renxue, her voice tinged with panic.

"Who told me that, huh?!"

Qian Renxue's eyes were devoid of any emotion, yet her cold words were full of sarcasm.

"Your outrageous 'fake master' plan, isn't it all for Yu Xiaogang? Who told me that? Didn't you tell me yourself? A good-for-nothing who can't even refute the theories of real masters, and who studies some nonsense theories, and you still want him to be a master? It's utterly ridiculous."

"If he becomes a master, do you want our Spirit Hall to become a laughingstock?"

Bibi Dong, whose expression had been uncertain since Qian Renxue learned of Yu Xiaogang's existence, was enraged when she heard these sarcastic words. Her aura surged violently.

"What are you talking about?! You don't understand him at all. He is so outstanding and talented. It's his talent that limited his future. It's a case of heaven being jealous of talent!"

Bibi Dong's voice grew increasingly firm, tinged with a twisted fanaticism and worship.

Only when a person is calm can they see the true attitude revealed when others are emotionally agitated.

Qian Renxue thought of Tang Shan's previous warning to her, and then looked at the almost obsessive and twisted emotions in Bibi Dong's eyes. Cracks quietly appeared in her heart. She stared at Bibi Dong coldly, her voice devoid of any emotion.

"Oh, is he good? I don't think so. He himself said that there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters. He is still stuck at the Great Soul Master stage. Doesn't that mean he himself is useless?"

Such a sharp and deadly question did not make Bibi Dong hesitate or waver in the slightest. Her face was full of resentment and unwillingness: "So it is said that the heavens are jealous of talent. It is not that he is a waste, nor that his martial soul is a waste. It is the heavens and the world that have restricted his development!"

Qian Renxue never expected that Bibi Dong would have such an "unique" and obsessive understanding. She instantly lost interest in communicating with her, turned around, pushed open the main hall door, and prepared to leave.

A sliver of sunlight pierced through the palace gate, illuminating the dimly lit hall. Qian Renxue paused slightly, turned around, and her exquisite face was shrouded in the interplay of light and shadow, her expression unfathomable.

"In my opinion, let alone comparing him to the master, Yu Xiaogang is worlds apart from even the master's disciple Tang Shan."

Tang Shan is my man. If you dare touch him, I dare touch Yu Xiaogang…

The heavy doors slowly closed, isolating the inside from the outside. Qian Renxue's beautiful figure disappeared completely. Bibi Dong slowly lowered her head, her eyes surging with a purplish-black light, her face contorted with a ferocious and crazed expression.

"Tangshan, Master, good, very good!"

Since you've put it that way, I certainly won't harm Tangshan!

A twisted and eerie smile slowly appeared on Bibi Dong's face. Recalling the nightmare years she had spent in the secret room, her smile became even brighter, yet it was tinged with coldness: "Yes, if we are to destroy the Spirit Hall, how can the Angel Family remain unscathed and not be destroyed together?"

Perhaps, when I proactively tell you the whole truth, and then incidentally deliver the fatal blow, that will be the most utter destruction of your spirit, Xiaoxue, my daughter.

While calling out to her daughter, Bibi Dong's smile grew increasingly twisted and insane, and her purplish-black soul power subtly leaked out from her body.

"teacher……"

A worried voice sounded beside her. Bibi Dong's twisted expression instantly vanished, replaced by an incredibly gentle smile. She asked softly, "Nana, what's wrong?"

Seeing her teacher's gentle smile, Hu Liena's worries eased considerably, and she said softly, "It's nothing. I just felt that the teacher seemed to be in a bad mood."

"It's nothing, I just encountered some troubles that reminded me of some things from the past."

Bibi Dong gently pulled Hu Liena into her arms, tenderly stroking her long, smooth hair with utmost affection.

"Nana, you are the person I love the most. You must cultivate well and never let me down."

Although Hu Liena didn't quite understand what Bibi Dong meant by "the closest person," she still nodded obediently and sensibly.

"By the way, teacher, what's the deal with Tangshan? Is our Spirit Hall trying to win him over?"

Hu Liena raised her head slightly in Bibi Dong's arms, looked at her dignified profile, and asked with great curiosity.

Bibi Dong paused slightly as she stroked Hu Liena's hair. A complex look flashed in her eyes before she nodded gently. "You should have heard that our teacher tested him before the start of the three-way competition. He is indeed a once-in-a-century prodigy with great potential for development. Such a talent is something our Spirit Hall should do our best to win over."

“No wonder,” Hu Liena said softly, suddenly realizing.

"Alright, Nana, go and cultivate. Your teacher is waiting to see the day you shine across the entire continent."

……

Qianjun and Jiangmo swung their dragon-coiled staffs down again, carrying a terrifying will to fight against heaven and earth. The staffs howled, and their power was even greater than before. What awaited them was Tangshan's increasingly fierce and refined Heaven-Opening Seal. However, the difference in the level of will and soul power between the two sides was obvious. It was ultimately unrealistic for Tangshan to simply confront them head-on.

Bang bang bang!

Three loud bangs forced Tang Shan to retreat repeatedly, his aura completely dissipated, and his clothes were torn by the strong wind. However, the previous momentum that made him more and more courageous, combined with the pressure of his retreat, brought extreme stimulation to his mental strength. Under such tempering, his will became more and more condensed and pure.

Splash! Crack!

In the sea of ​​spirit, the silver waters boiled and surged wildly. The Vajra Bodhi Fruit and the medicinal power of the Autumn Water Dew of the River of Oblivion, which had settled at the "seabed," were being frantically absorbed and digested. The pure energy flowed along the spiritual meridians, constantly consolidating and enhancing his spiritual foundation. His will was like that of an emperor commanding thousands of troops. He mobilized his spiritual power with an indomitable and do-or-die momentum, launching a final assault on the crumbling bottleneck.

"Open it for me!"

A deep shout erupted from Tang Shan's throat, and all the blood and energy in his body gathered in his palms as he forcefully pressed down with the Heaven-Opening Seal.

Boom!

An invisible roar resounded simultaneously in the real world and in Tangshan's spiritual sea. The spiritual bottleneck leading to the Spirit Abyss Realm was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks. Qianjun and Jiangmo's Panlong Staffs were also completely blocked by this sudden surge of power, making it difficult to advance any further.

"Open it for me!"

Tang Shan shouted again, and the double booming sound rang out in turn. His spirit and energy instantly soared to an unprecedented peak. His mental will rose steadily, and his momentum surged. He was able to completely rival the two Douluo's will to fight against heaven and earth. The waves in his spiritual sea became more and more turbulent.

"Open it for me!"

The third shout shook his mind. Tang Shan could no longer distinguish where he was. The boundary between reality and illusion was completely blurred. Before his eyes appeared both the parched and cracked land of the battlefield and the surging silver waves of the spiritual sea. The two dragon-coiled staffs, Qianjun and Jiangmo, transformed into an invisible barrier, crushing towards him with the force of destroying the world. His way of dealing with it was still the simplest and most direct, yet most domineering and incomparable, Opening Heaven Seal!

His blood and qi condensed in his palms like a volcanic eruption, and he poured all his concentrated will into them. Tang Shan stomped on the ground, his body expanding slightly again. The Heaven-Opening Seal in his palms, carrying the fierce power of splitting the heavens and earth, slammed down fiercely!

P.S.: Warning: There is absolutely no "Secret Chamber Douluo" (a popular fantasy novel series). There is absolutely no "Secret Chamber Douluo" (another popular fantasy novel series). I'm saying it three times because it's important. Also, there will absolutely be no dual cultivation with Bibi Dong, and she will absolutely not be the female lead.

Chapter 250 Breakthrough in Mental Power, Encountering the "Gods"

The bottleneck shattered, and the silvery seawater surged suddenly. The volume of the spiritual sea expanded rapidly at an extremely terrifying speed. The power of the originally settled immortal herbs was also being rapidly digested and transformed into nutrients for the growth of spiritual power, causing the aura of Tangshan to rise steadily.

Tang Shan's eyes shone brightly, and the strength of his will carried by the Heaven-Opening Seal surged. He fiercely clashed with the Panlong Staff of the two Douluo, Qianjun and Jiangmo.

A domineering will descended, slightly suppressing the two's will to fight against heaven and earth.

Although the suppression time was only an extremely brief moment, it was already quite astonishing.

Boom!

The air rippled, and the two Douluo, Qianjun and Jiangmo, took advantage of Tang Shan's brute force to retreat without continuing their attack. This was because they could clearly sense that Tang Shan's newly broken-through spiritual power was still rising.

Seeing Tang Shan's eyes slightly closed, as if he were comprehending something, Qianjun Douluo couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This kid is really a monster. His level of spiritual power is probably no less than that of you and me."

The Demon-Slaying Douluo also strongly agreed with his brother's opinion: "That's right, this level of mental strength has basically surpassed the vast majority of Soul Masters who have just broken through to the Title stage."

Tang Shan was naturally unaware of the discussions between the two Douluo, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, and was completely absorbed in the experience, wholeheartedly feeling the earth-shattering changes brought about by his breakthrough in spiritual power to the Spirit Abyss Realm—the silver waters of his spiritual sea surged endlessly, and every strand of spiritual power became more and more condensed and mellow.

Splash!

The sudden increase in mental strength amplified the effect of his will, and although it could only last for a very short time, it was enough for Tangshan to make some unprecedented attempts.

The surge of willpower was contained within his body. The next moment, relying on the brief boost in willpower brought about by the breakthrough in mental strength, Tang Shan felt as if he had encountered a layer of empty yet real barrier within his body, as if separated by a thin sheet of paper, yet difficult to break through its form.

His will suddenly solidified, like a giant axe splitting through chaos, and he roared in his heart—Break!

Click!

A silent, crisp sound rang in my heart, and the illusory and empty obstacle was instantly shattered by the giant axe formed from my will.

Willpower surged in, and the next moment, an exquisitely wondrous landscape appeared in Tangshan Heart Lake.

This is the internal landscape of Tangshan's body, but not entirely—the surging bright red liquid is his blood, and the network that runs throughout his body is his blood vessels.

His bones were as smooth and silvery as pillars of heaven, and his heart was constantly contracting and expanding...

Tang Shan had already noticed these scenes during his usual cultivation through mental visualization, so they didn't surprise him. However, under this perspective of will, he saw nodes emitting special fluctuations all over his body. Some were distributed on the surface of his body, like scattered stars; others penetrated deep into his body, settling in his internal organs and connecting the inside and outside.

The human body possesses various spirits; developing these spirits can grant immeasurable supernatural powers…

A thought arose in Tang Shan's mind, making him instantly understand the true meaning of everything he was seeing.

Tang Shan didn't know the exact upper limit of internal martial arts, but the internal martial arts he had mastered and refined through his first soul skill were roughly the same as those in the novels he had read in his previous life.

Ming Jin: Forging bones and refining skin to condense qi and strength, every punch and kick is full of power;

Hidden strength: Using intention to guide force and conceal its sharpness; when the mind bursts forth, it can penetrate armor.

Transforming energy: The energy flows smoothly throughout the body without any obstruction; energy arises spontaneously with every movement, permeating the entire body without any blind spots.

Dan Jin: Gathering Qi and condensing strength into the Dantian, Qi and blood are refined like fine iron, and when it bursts forth, its power is like thunder.

Gang Jin: Manipulate the dantian to transform into Gang Qi, precisely control its manifestation, and strike from afar like in the dark or light to injure people.

Since the previous levels of cultivation are basically not much different, the level of "breaking through the void and seeing the indestructible spirit" that follows Gang Jin should also really exist.

The so-called breaking through the void and seeing the gods without decay does not mean that the physical body can directly break through space without being destroyed, but rather a special physical state.

The so-called breaking through the void means breaking the barrier between mind and body through willpower, allowing one's control over the human body to reach an unfathomable level.

As for seeing the gods without decaying, one must first understand the "gods" in this context. These "gods" are not the gods and Buddhas in the usual sense, but rather the gods within one's own body, or more clearly, the acupoints.

To directly observe all the acupoints on the body through one's mental will is called "seeing the spirit";

Any minor damage can be detected immediately under the observation of the mind and will, and then repaired by mobilizing the body's qi and blood, thus preventing it from "getting damaged".

Before death, a powerful being who has reached the Divine Realm will not suffer any physical damage, and their vital energy will always remain at its peak. Even if they are over a hundred years old, they can still unleash the full power of a Divine Realm warrior. If there is any difference between them and a young warrior, it may be that an older Divine Realm warrior may not have as much vital energy.

Although some of the acupoints observed by Jian Shen Buhuai correspond to the acupoints of traditional Chinese medicine in Tangshan's previous life, most of them are unique to each individual's life nodes, and each person is different.

After gaining preliminary internal vision ability, Tang Shan wanted to use his mental power to find these acupoints, but the result was predictable. The fact that he was still at the Dan Jin level showed that he gained nothing.

Previously, he had some doubts about why he couldn't find those hidden acupoints even though he had gained the ability to see inside. Now, with his will suddenly strengthened in a short period of time, he broke through the barrier between his body and mind, and felt the complex light spots reflected in his heart. Tang Shan finally understood the key.

The light spots perceived by the will, although they are called acupoints, do not have a fixed shape and are distributed randomly and inconspicuously.

For example, a vital acupoint or life-threatening point observed in Tangshan is located in front of the Hegu acupoint in traditional Chinese medicine. The Hegu acupoint is indeed an acupoint, but in front of it is a smooth skin, neither a bone crevice nor a muscle insertion point. However, that is precisely where a vital point in Tangshan is located.

It can only be said that in this respect, people are different, and there may even be huge differences.

Getting back to the main point, Tang Shan also understood why he couldn't discover these acupoints through mental observation. In the simplest terms, it was because his mental precision was insufficient.

That's right, it's just that the precision is insufficient, or rather, he lacks the ability to observe those details.

The mental scan is like giving Tang Shan a special pair of eyes. Even when observing the inside of the body, what he sees are the visible body tissues, the flow of soul power, and those extremely obvious acupoints. But the spirit that the "seeing spirit without decay" sees is not limited to such superficial places. It may be a random node on the bone, or a small fold that is slightly raised on a muscle. It may seem insignificant on the surface, but it is actually the place where the most primal life force of the human body converges.

When faced with life force, or even acupoints that are related to the origin of life, spiritual power cannot perceive these more abstract mysteries.

This time, being able to observe all the gods within the body was a stroke of luck. If it weren't for the breakthrough in mental power, which temporarily broke down the barrier between the body and the mind, Tang Shan really didn't know when he would be able to see these great secrets of the human body.

Although this observational state could only be maintained for an extremely short time, it was enough for him to feel the strength that a god should possess for a moment.
