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

You can underestimate the Silver Dragon King's wisdom, but you should never underestimate his mastery of rules.

When his consciousness was ejected again, Tang Shan felt only a slight regret. He was already very satisfied with being able to choose a soul skill, and the inability to achieve a ten-thousand-year soul ring with two soul skills was just a minor disappointment.

Tangshan regained control of the body and continued to refine the energy that kept flowing from the soul ring. At the same time, the cold eyes of the spiritual body in the sea of ​​spirits regained their brilliance.

"Kid, you're back?"

The golden-haired lion-mastiff sized up Tang Shan and couldn't help but ask, "How did you choose your soul skills?"

"This was also a result of chance."

Tangshan did not provide a detailed explanation, but only mentioned it briefly.

Seeing that Tang Shan was unwilling to say more, the golden-haired lion-dog did not ask any further questions, but solemnly warned, "Those soul beasts outside just now asked me if I had told you their identities. I said no. Kid, don't expose them, or the consequences will be hard to predict."

Tang Shan nodded. In fact, the consciousness entity stored in Tang Shan's spiritual sea had already recorded their communication. Although the golden-haired lion-mastiff communicated using mental power, its spiritual entity was still in Tang Shan's spiritual sea, so he could still know exactly what was said.

As for the identities of the ferocious beasts like Gu Yue, he already knew them, even more than the golden-haired lion-mastiff, but there was no need to tell the other party that.

"Alright, now that I've finished choosing my soul skills, it's about time I left."

The golden-haired lion-mastiff took one last look at Tangshan before plunging into the vast, pale golden ocean, becoming nourishment for Tangshan's spiritual growth. Only a final spiritual fluctuation echoed in Tangshan's spiritual sea.

"Kid, if you get the chance, show us, the Golden Lion Mastiff, what the limits of power really are..."

Feeling his spiritual power rapidly increasing, and watching the golden-haired lion-mastiff disappear into the pale golden sea, Tang Shan remained silent for a while before closing his eyes again and focusing on absorbing the soul ring.

A stream of violent yet pure energy was slowly refined, and the originally misty and hazy soul power began to continuously gather and compress, becoming increasingly thick and condensed, and its quality steadily improved.

Tick ​​tock!

A clear, soft sound of a water droplet echoed deep within the heart of Tangshan, rippling outwards in the calm sea of ​​thoughts.

The dense, mist-like soul power was continuously compressed and condensed within the meridians, finally transforming from a gaseous state into a liquid state. Strands of crystal-clear liquid soul power flowed slowly along the meridians, nourishing and moisturizing every inch of the meridians, and the entire body was gradually soaked and strengthened by the liquid soul power.

Soul power liquefaction, a phenomenon that usually occurs only with advanced soul masters, actually happened to Tang Shan.

This is not surprising. Although Tang Shan himself did not intend to condense a soul core before becoming a Limit Douluo, there was no need to stop the changes in his soul power before that. His soul power was already extremely pure, and with the fact that his power attribute was transforming towards the ultimate level this time, the liquefaction of his soul power was just a natural and inevitable result.

Within the dantian, the gaseous soul power transformed and condensed at a visible speed, while the transparent and crystalline liquid soul power converged into a trickle, flowing smoothly within the meridians. The cool and mellow airflow swept through the limbs and bones, slowly nourishing and tempering the muscles, bones, flesh, and meridians, making the whole body feel comfortable and clear, as if it had been parched for a long time and then received sweet rain. Every inch of the body was gently trembling and sublimating.

hum!

The last burst of energy was refined, and the golden-haired lion-mastiff's soul ring was successfully absorbed. At the same time, the transformation of its power attribute towards the ultimate level officially began.

……

"Thank you for your help, Master Suhun."

"Of course, of course. As a member of the Spirit Hall, eliminating corrupt spirit masters is my duty."

"We still have other fallen soul masters to pursue, so farewell."

"Then I wish you all a safe journey and swift success."

After watching the Soul Master team leave, Su Yuntao turned and entered the Spirit Hall of Notting City.

"Yun Tao, how did you end up encountering a Fallen Soul Master? It's far too dangerous."

I strolled down to the first floor and found that Master Matthew's back injury had fully recovered. His voice was loud and clear, full of energy.

Su Yuntao's expression was somewhat stiff as he recalled his arduous journey over the years, a past he found unbearable to revisit.

His "rich and colorful" experiences could easily fill a book, and he even had a title in mind: "The Line Between Life and Death," which describes his struggles and uncertainties between life and death.

"It's alright, Grandpa Matthew, I'm used to this kind of thing."

Su Yuntao forced a somewhat awkward smile. Remembering that this was the place where he had lived since childhood, he felt really bad if something happened to him. So he simply bowed to Matthew.

“Grandpa Matthew, I suddenly have something urgent to take care of, so I won’t stay in Nottingham any longer. I’ll come back to see you in a while.”

Matthew's voice carried a hint of reluctance, but he did not stop him. He simply earnestly advised, "Is it in such a hurry? Yuntao, you must be careful while traveling. Never let your guard down."

"Don't worry, I have quite a lot of experience in this area."

Su Yuntao's lips twitched for a moment, and he spoke dryly, his mind involuntarily conjuring up images of those ever-changing and varied enemies.

"Alright, be careful on your journey. If you see the old temple master or that kid Tang Shan, please give them my regards."

"Okay, I'll definitely bring it."

After bowing with his fists clasped in a final salute, Su Yuntao turned and strode towards the outskirts of Nottingham City.

"What's making Yuntao so anxious?"

Matthew looked at Su Yuntao's hurried figure with some confusion.

……

After leaving the city gates of Nottingham, there was a rather uneven road. Nottingham was located at the border of two great empires, so there was very little war, but the economy was not particularly developed.

Walking along the uneven road, and confirming that nothing had happened around him, Su Yuntao breathed a sigh of relief. He turned back and took a deep look at Notting City, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

The next moment, he turned around without hesitation, took a step, and walked into the distance.

Next stop, Tiandou City. I wonder how my father and younger brother are doing. Finally, I hope the journey goes smoothly.

Oh right, did I forget something? Oh well, since I can't remember, it probably isn't that important.

On a small hillside next to Holy Soul Village, Tang San slowly calmed his surging soul power, exhaled a long breath, and the luster in his eyes subsided.

"I never imagined that my soul power from my past life was the internal energy of this Douluo Continent. I just wonder if there is any connection between these two worlds."

Composing himself, Tang San slightly moved his palm and summoned his martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, to examine it closely.

The grass blades are slender and supple, with a light green undertone in the main blue color. Fine, pale gold veins extend upwards from the roots, hidden among the veins of the leaves. As they sway gently, a gentle and enduring life force slowly spreads out.

Raise your hand, your fingertips gently brushing against the blades of grass, and a sense of connection and resonance from the depths of your blood fills your heart.

"Soul Master, Douluo Continent, Tang Sect..."

After retracting his martial soul, Tang San walked down the hillside. In a while, he would go to Notting Academy to embrace this brand new world.

No matter what the world is like, he will surely make the glory of the Tang Clan shine on this continent again.

Chapter 271 The Effects of the Ultimate Level of Power

Heat flows from the skin to the muscles, from the meridians to the bones, surging and gathering within every inch of the body and every tissue, from trickles to rivers, and from rivers to lakes and seas...

A surge of intense energy bursts forth from every part of the body, then circulates back to the limbs and bones, quietly beginning a profound transformation from the inside out.

hum!

His mental energy surged violently, and the pale golden seawater within his spiritual sea expanded at a speed that was not rapid but extremely clear. The speed of his soul power circulation suddenly increased, and his blood and qi flowed like a great river. Tang Shan's physical condition was directly pushed to its peak.

The scalding heat completely transformed the body, making the mind clearer, the meridians wider and more flexible, and the cells constantly transformed and reorganized at the most essential level. The abundant power surged and crashed within the body, breaking through an invisible barrier and stepping into an indescribable new level.

hum!

Tang Shan's skin, flesh, tendons, bones, internal organs, and bone marrow were all trembling slightly and continuously. In this trembling tempering, the lines of Tang Shan's body became more and more soft and natural, but the power he could unleash was far more than just a little bit increased.

His overall physical fitness improved at an extremely rapid pace, increasing by a full 30% in just over ten minutes.

The transformation continues: the soul power becomes increasingly viscous and dense, the blood and qi surge like a furnace, and the spiritual power of the Spirit Abyss Realm begins to rise wildly. Even though breaking through to the Spirit Domain Realm is still a long way off, the rapid growth momentum is still incredibly shocking.

……

"Ultimate power, tsk tsk, an ultimate attribute Soul Master, I wonder if such a thing has ever existed in the history of humankind."

As Xiong Jun sensed the ever-increasing aura emanating from Tang Shan, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, his tone filled not only with amazement but also with intense envy.

Extreme attributes are not something all soul beasts can possess; even super soul beasts may not be able to achieve them.

For example, Xiong Jun, your Dark Gold Terror Claws are sharp enough, right? Their maximum power can even tear through space. But since you're not the ultimate gold, you're ultimately not.

Even he couldn't get the ultimate gold, let alone those ordinary dark gold Terrorclaw Bears.

Looking at the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, they are merely the most elite top-tier soul beasts. Their ancestor, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, can barely be considered a super soul beast, but the entire clan possesses the ultimate ice attribute, which truly makes other beasts envious.

Top-tier soul beasts possess extreme ice in large numbers, but super soul beasts may not be able to, which is enough to show that there is no necessary connection between potential and attributes.

"My lord, what specific effects will occur when the strength attribute reaches its peak?"

As Biji sensed the ever-increasing power within Tang Shan's body, she asked Gu Yue with some curiosity.

Gu Yue pondered for a moment and gently shook his head: "I'm not quite sure about that either. Although the Golden Dragon King possesses power at the ultimate level, his main ability is the power of destruction. The specific effects of the ultimate power attribute may have already been integrated into the effects of the power of destruction."

"The golden-haired lion mastiffs should know something about this. I remember that in their history, a cub with extreme strength was born, but..."

Xiong Jun revealed a gloating smile: "That golden-haired lion mastiff cub was really unlucky. On its first hunting trip, it encountered a young Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and the two little guys ended up dying together."

Hearing Xiong Jun's story, Bi Ji's expression became somewhat strange. A golden-haired lion-mastiff cub encountering a dark demonic tiger cub—that's really... incredible luck.

"The true effect of the ultimate power level may be related to their dominance over their domains."

Gu Yue sensed the familiar aura emanating from Tang Shan and spoke softly.

That's a kind of domineering, arrogant, and self-centered behavior!

hum!

Tang Shan suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of golden light, seemingly tangible, shot out from his eyes, shooting out a foot or so before slowly receding.

"Tangshan, you've broken through! How are you feeling now?"

Gu Yue pursed her lips slightly, a hint of nervousness flashing across her face. Her eyes were fixed on Tang Shan's face, afraid of missing any subtle expression.

"That's right, I've successfully broken through, and my soul power cultivation should have increased by several levels. It's just a pity that after the soul power is converted into ultimate attribute soul power, the total amount is compressed quite a bit."

For Tang Shan, his Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power could completely offset the slow cultivation of ultimate attributes. However, compared to ordinary innate full-strength soul masters, his cultivation speed would still be slightly slower. After all, the quality of ultimate attribute soul power is what it is; to condense it, more spiritual energy from heaven and earth is required.

Fortunately, the second awakening of the Golden level of his Martial Soul has also subtly transformed Tang Shan's physical aptitude. In addition, his Titan left palm bone has an extremely strong affinity for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even if he breaks through to the Soul Master level, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to advance three or four levels in a year.

Based on his current cultivation speed and estimated soul power level, he should be able to break through to Soul King in about two years. At that time, Tang San will be at most eight years old.

Perhaps by the time Tang Shan participates in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament at the age of thirty-four, he may have already become a Soul Saint. At that time, it will be a complete and utter defeat, a sure-fire victory for Tang Shan.

Seeing that Tang Shan's expression was completely normal and there was no sign of wariness in his eyes when he spoke to her, Gu Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Logically, as the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts, if Tang Shan might know the true identities of Xiong Jun and Bi Ji, she should immediately control them, if not kill them outright, but at least imprison them properly. However, Gu Yue subconsciously overlooked this approach, hoping only that Tang Shan didn't know. If he did find out, how would she explain it to him?

"What about your strength attribute? Has it reached its peak?"

Xiong Jun paid no attention to Gu Yue's expression. His thoughts were very simple: if his master ordered him to kill Tang Shan, he would do so; otherwise, he would simply continue with the usual routine. As for troubles like his identity being exposed, those were basically not on his radar.

He was now filled with curiosity about what kind of mysterious abilities would be gained if one's strength attribute reached its peak.

Upon hearing Xiong Jun's question, Tang Shan nodded, a hint of barely concealed excitement on his face.
