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

"By the way, Dad, where are you taking my older brother to hunt souls?"

Suddenly remembering something, Tang Shan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked.

He had just remembered that when Su Yuntao first appeared in the original novel, he had one white and one yellow spirit ring. If he hadn't come to this family, he wouldn't have noticed the problem. Now, thinking about it, it's clear that Su Yuntao's white spirit ring at the beginning of the story is not very reasonable in this family situation.

It should be noted that Su Haichao is now a high-level Soul Master, close to the Soul Grandmaster level, and his Soul Ring configuration is a standard two yellow and one purple. With such strength, it is obviously impossible for him to equip his own son with a white Soul Ring. Obviously, something unexpected must have happened in the process.

Upon hearing the question, Su Haichao thought for a moment.

"I want to take your older brother to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts. After all, the soul beast resources there are abundant, and it will be easier to find a suitable soul ring for your older brother."

"Father, if all else fails, why not take my elder brother to see the artificially bred soul beast forest? There are quite a few soul beasts there that are suitable for him, and their age is sufficient before he needs a thousand-year soul ring. Rather than going on an adventure in the Star Dou Great Forest, it's better to seek a peaceful place. After all, thousand-year soul beasts often appear on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest."

Upon hearing about the potential danger, Su Yuntao couldn't help but frown. Although the training plan his younger brother had devised for him was nothing short of devilish, often causing him immense suffering and making him wish he could beat him up, he greatly admired the other's erudition. His breadth of knowledge was probably no less than that of scholars immersed in the study of martial spirits.

Since my underling said there was danger in the outer area, it was very likely true.

"Father, artificially bred soul beast forests are also acceptable. If all else fails, we can visit several more soul beast forests. The Star Dou Great Forest is still too dangerous."

Seeing that both of his sons, including Su Yuntao who was hunting for spirit rings, were so opposed to going to the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Haichao helplessly shrugged.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

For some reason, after making this decision, Su Haichao felt a sense of relief, as if the gloom that had been hanging over his heart had quietly dissipated.

After the meal, Tang Shan helped Su Haichao and his companion pack their belongings for the Soul Beast Forest. Su Haichao suddenly remembered something and looked at Tang Shan.

"Shanzi, during our trip to the Soul Beast Forest, will you be staying at home alone, or will you stay at someone else's house for a few days? Or should I find someone to take care of you?"

If it were an ordinary three-year-old child, Su Haichao would definitely not ask such a question, but would make proper arrangements for the child. However, Tang Shan is different. He has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood and has an extraordinary physique, which is enough for him to live independently.

"Dad, I'll stay home by myself. My physical condition is now comparable to that of a six-year-old child, and I can take care of myself."

Upon hearing Su Haichao's question, Tang Shan shook his head and said this.

"Little brother, take good care of yourself at home. I'll bring you something nice to eat when I come back."

Taking the opportunity, Su Yuntao vigorously rubbed Tang Shan's head a few times, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement.

It must be said that Su Haichao's strategy was very successful. Tang Shan's arrival quickly dispelled Su Yuntao's loneliness and grief over his mother's accidental death.

Tang Shan shook his head helplessly, and finally gave up resisting, letting his older brother do as he pleased. There was nothing he could do; the difference in their physical abilities was too great.

Seeing the harmonious scene between the brothers, Su Haichao's face also showed a gentle expression.

"Shanzi, you can stay home alone. I'll leave you ten gold soul coins, which is more than enough for your daily life. I really don't know what your martial soul is, but the physique boost it gives you is so extraordinary, it must be something special."

Upon hearing Su Haichao's words, Tang Shan's face also revealed a hint of anticipation. Although the Douluo of this era had many inconveniences, there was one thing that his previous life could never compare to: there were extraordinary beings and eternal gods here.

When everyone is six years old, they can go to the Spirit Hall to awaken their spirit for free. If they have innate spirit power, they can become a noble spirit master.

Leaving aside other benefits, Soul Masters can go to the Spirit Hall every month to receive one Gold Soul Coin, which is definitely a considerable fortune, enough to support a small family for several months.

Based on the prices here and compared to his previous life, Tang Shan realized that the purchasing power of this gold soul coin was probably roughly equivalent to nearly 10,000 yuan in his previous life.

If one breaks through to the Great Soul Master level, the benefits will increase tenfold; if one breaks through to the Soul Venerable level, the benefits will increase tenfold again, with the benefits stopping at the Soul Venerable level.

This is a real world. At first, Tang Shan was a little confused as to why Soul Masters were given such good benefits, but he soon understood.

To put it bluntly, Soul Masters can basically be seen as a group of unstable factors who possess extraordinary power. Even among the food-type and support-type Soul Masters, one can create poisonous food and the other can amplify their own power, not to mention the other types.

Rather than letting these destabilizing factors run rampant, it would be better to pay some financial compensation to reduce the likelihood of them causing trouble.

As for why Soul Masters after Soul Grandmaster don't get any benefits, please, you're a Soul Master with at least a four-ring Soul Master, can't you find a way to make a living?

Moreover, even for ordinary geniuses, reaching the Soul Master level wouldn't be too young, as their values ​​would have already been formed, greatly reducing the likelihood of them causing trouble.

Back in his room, Tang Shan sat at his desk and began to examine his gains and decisions during this period.

The decision to let the eldest brother train his body before absorbing a spirit ring was definitely the right one. Not to mention the improvement to the martial soul from absorbing a spirit ring after the age limit, from the perspective of improving soul power alone, the effect would definitely exceed the wasted year.

Without looking back, when the Sea God added the poisonous Mandragora Serpent Soul Ring to the Blue Silver Grass of the Life type, it jumped directly from level eleven to level thirteen under conditions close to the limits of human endurance.

Forget about his diligent cultivation; during the time from awakening his martial soul to hunting soul beasts and absorbing soul rings, even with his extraordinary talent and the Xuan Tian Gong, Tang San's soul power could only increase by half a level at most.

Therefore, it's definitely not a problem for the eldest brother to train his body before absorbing a spirit ring. After all, his innate spirit power is there, and no matter how hard he trains, it can't keep up with the improvement from absorbing a spirit ring.

After summarizing the plans for Su Yuntao's future, Tangshan turned its attention to itself.

Take out paper and pen, and start writing while tidying up.

My martial soul is definitely not weak, and it may be a beast martial soul, since weapon martial souls basically do not provide any enhancement to the physical body before the martial soul true form.

There's one thing I still don't understand: weapon spirits should be tools, and although their exact origin is unknown, there are only a few possibilities. Plants and animals should be more similar, theoretically belonging to the same life form, and should all be classified as beast spirits. But plant-type spirits are all weapon spirits. What's the logic behind that?

Although I know that the martial soul is likely not weak, I still need to make a few extra preparations just in case. After all, I have conducted a detailed investigation and confirmed that there should be no cheat codes.

So I can only rely on my own imagination and the way of thinking cultivated by my compulsory education in my previous life. Oh, and the trilogy also contains a lot of important information.

Once the paper was filled with writing, Tang Shan didn't hesitate to light a tinderbox and burn it to prevent the information from leaking out. After all, he mainly wanted to summarize his recent gains, not write a diary. No respectable person writes a diary.

After reading through the Spirit Hall's collection for some time, I've discovered that there are three main mediums that influence a spirit.

First, it originates from the bloodline of the parents. This can be seen from the fact that a child inherits the martial soul of one or both parents. As for the so-called martial soul mutation, it is mainly the result of the mutual influence and fusion of the martial souls of both parents.

Secondly, there is soul power. This goes without saying. Martial Soul mainly cultivates soul power. It is worth mentioning that although it is called soul power, it does not seem to have much to do with the so-called soul or spiritual power.

Thirdly, there is consciousness and thought. This is quite special and is one of the variables that leads to the mutation of a martial soul. Such examples are extremely rare to this day. As far as I know, there is probably only that sword fanatic from the second era of Dou Di Zhuan. He is also the only person who has verified the theory of a certain master: "There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters."

Fortunately, this so-called master hasn't released his theory yet, otherwise I really wouldn't understand whether this theory is proving that he's a useless person.

He pulled his wandering thoughts back to reality, recalling Su Yuntao's words, which confirmed Tang Shan's suspicions.

I had my older brother attach his soul power to his fingers to do eye exercises, and the effect was indeed very obvious. It is clear that the acupoints in this world are somewhat similar to those in my previous life. Unfortunately, I only know the general direction of the twelve regular meridians and the names of the eight extraordinary meridians. I know nothing else. Damn it, you only realize how little you know when you need it.

Gathering his thoughts, Tang Shan sat cross-legged on the bed, resting his short legs on the back of the other knee, his eyes slightly closed, trying to sense the omnipresent soul power around him.

Half a quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour...

At some point, Tangshan fell into a mysterious state, his mind blank, his breathing deep and shallow...

He fell asleep.

The next day, Tang Shan, who was lying in bed at some point, opened his eyes and sighed in a mature and sophisticated manner. Combined with his youthful face, it gave off a strange sense of humor.

Another attempt to cultivate ahead of time failed. I couldn't sense the omnipresent soul power that my older brother and father had mentioned. Clearly, cultivating ahead of time was impossible. Thinking about it, it makes sense. If it were really possible, all the major families and soul master forces would have done it long ago. Another day of envying Tang San. God, give me a copy of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Pushing open the door, breakfast was already prepared. After quickly finishing it, I watched as Su Yuntao and Su Haichao were ready to go.

"Father, remember to try to find wolf-type spirit beasts for eldest brother, so that the breakthrough can be made more effective."

"understood."

"What if I find a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear? Do you think I should absorb it?"

Before leaving, Su Yuntao couldn't resist showing off a little. Before Tang Shan could react, Su Haichao slapped him hard across the face.

"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, absorption, can't you hope for something better? If you really encounter us, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for them to kill you."

Chapter 3 establishes the timeline, spirit rings, and spirit skills.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a super existence in the world of soul beasts, almost the ultimate martial soul.

Even if it is only a hundred years old, it can easily deal with ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Let alone Su Haichao, who is close to Soul Master, even a Soul King would not fare well if he encountered him.

"Little brother, you stay home by yourself. Dad and I are leaving."

Su Yuntao turned his head, his eyes still showing some reluctance and worry. After all, Tangshan was still a child under three years old. If they hadn't lived with Tangshan for two years, Su Yuntao and Su Haichao would never have felt at ease leaving such a young child alone at home.

As he watched the two depart, Tang Shan's gaze gradually drifted into the distance.

I hope they return safely.

When Tang Shan thought about Su Yuntao's soul ring configuration in the original work, he tried his best to do something to change it. He believed that this was the limit of his ability. After all, he was still just a child and did not have any strength at all.

Looking at the sky, it was only around 10 a.m. Tang Shan changed his clothes, took his keys, and went out.

As the Hall Master of the Spirit Hall in Notting City, Su Haichao enjoys very generous benefits. This two-story attic residence is one of these benefits. Located in the center of Notting City, right next to the Spirit Hall, it brings great convenience to Su Haichao's work and life.

The Spirit Hall is located in almost every town and city on the continent, and has even spread to the countryside.

The Spirit Hall in Notting City is not luxurious, but it naturally carries a solemn and sacred aura.

The plaques representing the six martial spirits hang at the main gate, and passersby often turn their gaze toward the Martial Spirit Hall.

He walked through the gate with ease, and the guards on both sides of the gate did not stop him, obviously Su Haichao had already given instructions.

Before even turning into the library, the commotion at the counter caught Tangshan's attention.

"Sisi, right? You want to join the Spirit Hall."

An elderly man, dressed in the exclusive attire provided by the Spirit Hall, was writing something with his head down.

Standing in front of the old man was a young girl, who appeared to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, radiating youthful energy.

"Grandpa Matthew".

Tang Shan approached the old man, who was Master Matthew, who tested Tang San's soul power level and determined his soul master status in the original work. In Nottingham City, his status in the Spirit Hall was probably second only to Su Haichao.

What attracted Tang Shan's attention was not the kind grandfather Matthew, but the girl Sisi who was applying to join the Spirit Hall.

I remember that my good older brother was this girl's simp in his past life, and judging from the girl's behavior in the original work, she is definitely a green tea bitch.

I wonder what choice my elder brother will make in this life.

"Tangshan is here."

Seeing the tiny creature approach him, Matthew's aged face broke into a gentle smile.

"What, coming to read again?"

Tang Shan nodded, looking at it like silk threads.

Sisi was also attracted by the adorable little boy. "Hello, little brother, my name is Sisi. Where are your family? Why aren't they home? It's dangerous for someone so young to be out alone."

Tang Shan blinked. "My dad works at the top floor here. I'm just here for fun."

Upon hearing this, Sisi's expression changed slightly. The only person who could work at the highest level of the Spirit Hall was probably the current Hall Master.

"Alright, Sisi, your file has been registered. I'll tell you your job responsibilities when you report for duty tomorrow."

Matthew's words interrupted her wandering thoughts. She respectfully took the documents from the other person's hand and said, "Little brother, I have something to do. Goodbye."

With that, Sisi said goodbye to Matthew and turned to leave the Spirit Hall.

"You little brat, what do you want to do?"
