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

Gu Yue made her selections swiftly and decisively, without the slightest sign of indecisiveness. She didn't mind missing out on the rest; she could order more later. As for the cost, were you underestimating the wealth of the Heavenly Dou Crown Prince, or the riches of the Soul Beast Lord?

After ordering, the menu was quickly handed to the chef. The restaurant's kitchen was located in the center of the restaurant, where food was grilled right in front of the diners.

boom!

The raging flames suddenly exploded, expanding to a height of about ten feet, with orange-red flames rolling and steaming, almost licking the ceiling.

A well-built Soul Master held a huge, blazing ball of fire in his right hand. The flames were incredibly gentle in his palm, and waves of heat spread wildly from his body.

To his left was a mountain of ingredients, and in front of him was a large bowl containing a transparent dipping sauce.

Grilling skewers is very simple for him. He simply takes a few skewers from the mountain of already skewered ingredients, dips them in the bowl, coats the meat evenly with the sauce, and then precisely sends them to the very center of the palm fire ball and glides them over.

The flames precisely enveloped the meat skewers, the oil sizzling instantly, and when the skewers reappeared in his hands, a rich aroma wafted out.

A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Shan's curious eyes. Don't be fooled by the chef's seemingly simple operation; under Tang Shan's mental observation, it actually contained many extraordinary mysteries.

The temperature of every part of the burning flame was constantly changing, capable of instantly cooking food that was just passing by, indicating that the chef's control over the flame had reached an extremely extraordinary level.

Indeed, there are many masters in the world. If you persist in doing one thing and never waver, your skills will naturally become extraordinary over time.

According to Tang Shan's estimation, this fire-controlling soul master's ability to manipulate flames is probably no less than that of an ordinary fire-attribute soul king. However, it should be noted that under his mental probing, the opponent was only a great soul master.

"Tangshan, what happened next?"

Gu Yue's clear voice drew Tang Shan's attention back to her. Tang Shan asked, somewhat puzzled, "What happened?"

Gu Yue took out some peanuts and melon seeds from her storage soul tool, lightly pinched the shells with her fingertips, broke them open, put them in her mouth and chewed them carefully. She tilted her head and said curiously, "It's Tang San and his teacher. Later I went to Notting City to raid it, but I don't know what happened after that."

Gu Yue was genuinely curious: what was the difference between a god-created child of a plane and a naturally born child of a plane?

As for Tangshan, the one who directly twisted fate, the Silver Dragon King said, "I'm by his side every day, I'll figure it out sooner or later."

Upon hearing Gu Yue mention "Lord Sea God," Tang Shan's expression turned somewhat strange. After briefly reviewing what he had observed with his spiritual power a few days prior, he slowly said, "Well, the bond between master and disciple has ended."

A few days later, out of curiosity, I went to Notting Academy to investigate. Tang San's relationship with his teacher was extremely strained; while not exactly sworn enemies, they were practically strangers.

To be honest, even Tang Shan himself didn't expect that, under the influence of the butterfly effect, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, who were kind and filial to each other in the original work, would actually end up like this. It was quite unexpected.

Of course, what shocked Tang Shan the most was the two slaps Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San. It was absolutely outrageous. He was really curious about what Yu Xiaogang was thinking. That was Tang San's hope of proving himself on the mainland. It was not right to give him such a "reward" so hastily. It couldn't be just because Tang San's first spirit ring was a plant spirit ring.

Tang Shan couldn't understand Yu Xiaogang's thought process at all. He had already given him the correct answer, but the other party still went his own way, wanting to do something about plant spirit beasts absorbing animal spirit rings. Was his brain rusted?

Even more outrageous is that Yu Xiaogang probably already knew that Tang San's second spirit was the Clear Sky Hammer, and should have made some guesses about the identity of Tang San's father. Yet he was still so stubborn, even slapping "Big Hammer Tang"'s son directly. Wasn't he afraid that justice would descend from the sky one day and he would die from a blow from behind?

"What about Yu Tianheng? He should be one of the few direct descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. I never expected that Yu Xiaogang would be his uncle."

Gu Yue continued to press for answers.

Recalling the cold and dark aura emanating from the other party, Tang Shan was basically certain that Yu Tianheng had turned to the dark side, and his martial soul was suspected of mutating towards the dark lightning attribute. Through the discussion between the uncle and nephew, Tang Shan also roughly understood the reason for the mutation, which was the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.

To be honest, when Tang Shan came to this conclusion, he was a little dumbfounded—if the mutation is towards the dark attribute, will the next step be to directly evolve into the Dark Holy Dragon? Will a descendant named Long Xiaoyao be born ten thousand years later?

Tangshan also recalled a flaw in Yu Xiaogang's character – during the Dou Er era, Bei Bei personally admitted that Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong were his ancestors. What happened to the Platonic spiritual love they were promised? It's utterly despicable! Shameless!

"It's alright, their relationship is a little better than that between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang."

While mentally criticizing Yu Xiaogang, Tang Shan didn't forget to answer Gu Yue's question, "Yu Tianheng probably wants revenge, and Tang San is the helper he chose. But Yu Xiaogang wants to cultivate Tang San onto the wrong path. The conflict between the two is not small, but it is not as obvious as that between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang."

"Gentlemen, your barbecue has arrived, please enjoy!"

Just then, a waiter came to Tangshan's table with a huge plate in his hand, put the plate down, and put it on top of a pile of meat skewers.

The enticing aroma of mixed meat made Gu Yue, who was originally focused on eating melons, sniff involuntarily with a sense of "guilt." Her eyes lit up, and tears of "sorrow" almost streamed down her face. Fortunately, she reacted in time, otherwise her saliva might have dripped onto the plate.

Tangshan was quite curious whether the Silver Dragon King's saliva, which wasn't at its peak, had any special effects. After all, many rare and precious materials were born from the saliva dripping from dragons while they slept. He wondered if he could get some from Gu Yue.

Gu Yue was naturally unaware that Tang Shan was eyeing her dragon saliva. Faced with the delicious food emitting a rich aroma, she didn't hesitate to grab a skewer in each hand, open her small mouth, and bite down with a "whoosh." Her cheeks puffed out slightly, and her eyebrows curved into crescents as she chewed. From those curved eyebrows, it was easy to tell that the roasted meat was definitely not bad.

Of course, Tangshan has basically never seen Gu Yue refuse meat products.

Chapter 309 Forced Intrusion

The meat skewers are cooked in the flames for less than a breath, which results in a crispy and fragrant exterior while the meat inside remains juicy and flavorful, not greasy at all. Every bite is rich, savory, and layered, making it incredibly tempting.

Gu Yue and Tang Shan stopped talking and started fighting with the skewers on the table. In less than 15 minutes, they had devoured all the skewers.

Without a word, they ordered more. The two gluttons began to feast at the "fast-food barbecue" restaurant. At first, they didn't attract much attention; after all, most of the diners here were Soul Masters, so large appetites were normal. However, as time went on and the wooden skewers piled up, the expressions of some other diners gradually changed. There was no way around it; the sight of plate after plate of barbecue being served and quickly devoured was simply too astonishing, especially considering Tang Shan and Gu Yue's outstanding appearance and demeanor—it created a stark contrast.

The man and the dragon were already used to these different gazes. In any case, they had already used their mental power to distort their appearances, so that even if people saw them, they wouldn't remember their faces, and that was enough.

After working tirelessly for another half hour, Tang Shan finally finished eating and leaned back in his chair, letting out a long sigh of relief. His internal organs were working silently, extracting nutrients and essence of blood and qi, which were then sent to his limbs and bones, leaving him feeling warm all over.

The entire body greedily absorbed this energy, and strands of pure nutrients seeped into every limb and bone, constantly nourishing the muscles, bones, and flesh. The cells underwent subtle changes at an extremely slow but real pace, and every inch of the muscle was quietly becoming stronger.

Gu Yue wiped her mouth demurely, then raised her dark eyes to look at Tang Shan: "Shall we go?"

"Okay!" Tang Shan agreed, stood up, and walked towards the counter, with Gu Yue following closely behind.

……

Stepping out of the restaurant, with some time to spare before noon, the two found themselves with some free time. After a brief discussion, they unanimously decided to wander around and explore, realizing there was no need to find a hotel so early.

After untying the horse, Tang Shan did not mount it, but instead held it by the hand with his left hand. Gu Yue followed beside him, and the two of them enjoyed the sights of Star Mark City.

The sounds of vendors hawking their wares rose and fell along the street, children played and frolicked, soldiers patrolled back and forth, and there were bustling blacksmith shops, quiet taverns, and pedestrians and carriages coming and going. All aspects of life and human nature were on display, and layers of everyday life blended together to create a vibrant and lively scene.

What he saw and heard was like a special kind of spiritual nourishment, slowly permeating the spiritual sea of ​​Tangshan, allowing his spirit and will to gradually transform and strengthen in a subtle way. The golden spiritual sea continued to expand, the strength of his will began to slowly rise, and his mind became more and more peaceful amidst the everyday life.

……

To the west of Starmark City lies a stretch of housing, mostly simple detached houses.

Located in the very center of this residential area is a duplex-style two-story loft. It is quite old and not particularly luxurious. Apart from its central location, it has nothing special about it.

On this day, an ordinary figure knocked on the door, but the room remained silent, and it was unclear whether anyone was inside.

The ordinary man who knocked on the door was clearly very patient, standing at the door at a leisurely pace, showing no intention of leaving.

After a while, a voice came from inside the room: "Xingluo Yongchang".

"Those who fight against Heaven will perish," the man at the door replied naturally.

Seemingly having confirmed the visitor's identity through a password, the door slowly opened. The man looked around for a moment, then went straight into the attic.

The door closed silently, and all was quiet once more.

On the rooftop of an ordinary house not far away, Tang Shan, who had witnessed the entire handover process, narrowed his eyes slightly. Beside him, Gu Yue released her spiritual power, carefully exploring the area. After a while, the girl shook her head: "The Star Luo stronghold's defenses are alright. They use a special material. Although it can't block spiritual power detection, the precision and detection range have been greatly reduced."

"Then let's force our way in." Tang Shan made the decision, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at the stronghold where the Star Luo spies had gathered.

He and Gu Yue had already explored most of Star Mark City. Now that they were about to leave, it was time to begin their revenge against the Star Luo Empire.

As for danger, there is no danger. Putting aside the fact that Xiong Jun and Zi Ji are secretly protecting them, Tang Shan's keen sense of crisis alone determines that this will be a battle without any setbacks.

Tang Shan leaped off the roof and landed easily, followed closely by Gu Yue, who was swirling in a blue vortex.

"Let's begin."

Tang Shan gave a reminder, touched the ground with his toes, and his internal energy surged and exploded!

Click!

Fine cracks spread rapidly outwards from the point where Tang Shan's foot exploded. His forward-rushing body tore through the air, and the fierce wind whipped against his face, further emphasizing Tang Shan's menacing aura.

Four spirit rings—purple, purple, purple, and black—appeared beneath his feet, with the first, third, and fourth spirit rings flashing simultaneously.

The purpose this time is to destroy the enemy, not to fight or compete. Therefore, except for not activating the Dharma Image Heaven and Earth Soul Skill, which would cause the body to lose a certain degree of flexibility, Tang Shan directly brought his normal strength to its peak.

The blood and qi condensed and collapsed, then exploded instantly!

The returning blood and qi surged like angry dragons, rolling and surging through the body. Every muscle was frantically gathering strength, and the veins under the skin throbbed faintly, with blood and qi bubbling up all over the body.

Tang Shan's body swelled up, his muscles bulged, his lines became more ferocious and fierce, his bones made a slight clanging sound, and his aura rose steadily. When he reached the two-story pavilion, he had become a small giant with a height of two meters, exaggeratedly bulging muscles, and surging blood and qi.

boom!

Even as he reached the door, Tang Shan did not slow down in the slightest. His first soul skill, Self-Control, allowed him to push his control over his arms to the Divine level in a short period of time. His muscles expanded further, becoming as thick as his thighs, his power surged, and his blood boiled.

boom!

Stomp on the ground, twist, explode!

The power originates from the soles of the feet on the ground and rapidly travels upwards. The twisting waist acts like a spring compressed to its limit, receiving the force from the feet while the body twists straight up, gathering immense power and slamming a punch directly into the door.

Click!

A piercing metallic twisting sound suddenly rang out, accompanied by a flurry of flying wood chips. The wooden door instantly dented and deformed, and fine cracks appeared in the iron layer. Clearly, although the surface of the door was made of wood, it was actually encased in a layer of solid iron.

Tang Shan's expression remained unchanged. He twisted his body again, and his huge iron elbow, like a miniature battering ram, slammed down.

Another violent and ear-piercing metallic clang rang out. Tang Shan's brow furrowed. His keen mental senses revealed that a considerable number of people had begun to gather around the gate, clearly intending to teach this madman who tried to force his way in a lesson.

"Since we've come together, that's perfect."

Tang Shan grinned, took a few steps back to Gu Yue's side, and as he charged forward again, he casually reminded her, "You take care of the second floor, I'll go to the basement!"

Boom!

With power converging, Tang Shan mobilized self-control to his shoulders and back, delivering a brutal slam that, while seemingly unremarkable, was a perfect convergence of power.

The already crumbling door finally broke free of the frame and slammed straight back with tremendous force.

Behind the door was a deep passage. The group of soul masters, who had been poised to attack, seemed not to have expected that the wooden-veneered iron door would fall off and smash towards them. Caught off guard, two of them were knocked away and slammed into the wall, losing consciousness.

"Make your move! They're here!"

The Star Luo spies, who had just realized what was happening, shouted a warning, and their spirit rings lit up. However, it was too late.

His imposing figure, carrying an aura of overwhelming power, crashed straight into the group of secret agents like a raging beast, the shockwave sending them staggering backward.

On the left, a Soul Master wielded a long sword, and all four Soul Rings bloomed simultaneously. Sharp sword energy slashed out, tearing the air apart with a piercing shriek, and cut straight toward Tang Shan.

On the right, a Soul Master's hands transformed into scorpion pincers, and a scorpion tail extended from his back. Three Soul Rings also flickered, their poisonous light flashing, as he aimed directly at Tang Shan's throat.

Not only to the left and right, but also above, in front, under, and even behind—anywhere there was an opening where a slight attack could be launched was occupied by the Star Luo Secret Agents, who unleashed a series of soul skills, their dazzling light enveloping Tang Shan's entire body, attempting to engulf him instantly.

With a clenched left hand, Tang Shan used the wrist-strike technique to shatter the incoming blade energy. He twisted and shrank, instantly curling into a small ball, his back muscles bulging, and amethyst light condensing, instantly maximizing his defense and forming a thick protective shield.

Bang bang bang bang!

Countless soul skills exploded, scattering light and churning air. Tang Shan, curled up, continued his sprint without slowing down. Just as one wave of soul skills subsided and the next wave was about to arrive, he slammed the sword-wielding Soul Master against the wall like a human cannonball.

A series of cracking sounds and a collapsed chest indicate that the person is most likely dead.

A surging tide of soul skills followed closely behind, demonstrating how formidable these elite soul masters were. Fortunately, Tang Shan was well-prepared.

He grabbed the arm of the Soul Master he had just killed, and with a gentle tug and sweep, an overwhelming barrage of soul skills instantly engulfed him, causing blood and flesh to splatter everywhere.
