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

As the host announced the results, shouts and cheers reverberated throughout the entire Grand Arena.

"Wait!" The voice was like a booming bell, carrying a powerful soul force pressure. Just as the atmosphere was getting heated, a sudden voice interrupted the audience's boiling thoughts.

"The little monsters' spirits must not be dampened. If they lose their spirit, how will they ever be motivated to improve in the future?" Recalling Flander's words, Zhao Wuji's expression grew even more solemn. His soul power carried his voice, echoing throughout the entire Great Soul Arena: "Is there something wrong with this match?"

In the back area, Qin Ming, the teacher of Tian Dou, suddenly stood up and looked up in astonishment towards the VIP box. His eyes were full of disbelief. He really did not expect that after the Huang Dou team won the victory, there would be a twist, and the person who brought the twist was the teacher of Shrek Academy whom he respected so much.

The entire arena gradually fell silent, and the audience also shut their mouths, some curious about the cause of the matter, what did it mean that "there was something wrong with this match"?

"Interesting." Tang Shan, sitting in VIP box number one, narrowed his eyes, a cold glint in them.

"This match is unfair. Why are there two Soul Kings on the other side? It's like throwing eggs against a rock for our Shrek Academy students to clash with such a strong team."

Whoosh!

Zhao Wuji smashed the glass of the VIP room and appeared before the audience in a blatant manner. He activated his Martial Soul and released the aura of a high-level Soul Saint without restraint. The standard seven Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—pulsated rhythmically on his body.

"What is Shrek Academy trying to do?" The Soul Arena manager in Box 3 frowned slightly, dissatisfied with Zhao Wuji's inexplicable actions. However, the Soul Saint aura of the other party was too terrifying, and the strongest person on his side was only a Soul Emperor. He could only remain silent for the time being.

"I remember your academy said that there was no limit to the soul battle between the Imperial Battle Academy and the Imperial Battle Academy. I wonder why you have gone back on your word now?" The host was reasonable. Even though he was intimidated by Zhao Wuji's Soul Saint aura, he still pointed out the problem.

snort!

Zhao Wuji snorted coldly, leaped up, and crashed straight down onto the arena, cracks spreading outwards from the point of his landing.

"Ridiculous, truly ridiculous. Unrestricted fighting spirit? How is that possible? As a mentor, wouldn't I investigate the team's strength beforehand? How could I let my talented students clash with opponents whose strength I don't know? Wouldn't that be a blow to their confidence?"

As Zhao Wuji slowly stepped forward, his aura rose steadily, his eyes blazing, and he spread his arms, surveying the audience in the stands: "Tell me, as a teacher, how could I possibly allow my students to participate in a Soul Battle where they have no chance of winning? Yes, we did say there were no restrictions, but that was because we learned through communication that the strongest member of the Royal Fighting Team was also a Soul Master. We invited them to a battle with the intention of friendly exchange, but we never expected to be tricked by the Royal Fighting Team."

It must be said that Flander's prepared rhetoric was quite impressive. He didn't completely absolve himself of responsibility, but instead used a strategy of retreat to advance. He first stated that he had indeed said those words, and then explained his reasons. His words left no room for rebuttal. A commander who knew he was invincible would not push his student into the ring.

"That does seem to make some sense."

"Yes, yes, isn't there something wrong with this? It's strange that a challenge with such a huge gap exists."

Those who were unaware of the truth were brainwashed by Zhao Wuji's long speech, and some doubts arose in their hearts, and they began to suspect that there was something fishy going on.

"Could it be that you teachers weren't prepared beforehand? You were arrogant and thought your students were invincible, but you didn't realize that there are always people more capable than you, and there are always higher levels to reach." A clear voice suddenly rang out, and Qin Ming leaped onto the arena. His martial spirit was activated, and six spirit rings appeared as he struggled against Zhao Wuji's overwhelming pressure.

Qin Ming's forehead was covered in sweat. Facing the terrifying pressure of the Soul Saint, he did not flinch at all. He looked directly at his former teacher and said firmly, "I think the problem is not with our Royal Fighting Team, but with your Shrek Academy!"

Chapter 448 Don't Drive Me Crazy! (Two-in-One)

Facing Qin Ming, who was standing firm against him despite the pressure, Zhao Wuji still felt somewhat guilty. No one knew the truth of the matter better than the other party.

"Where is the manager of the Soul Arena? Come out! Come out and give Shrek an explanation, or don't force me to go crazy here! I think no one can stop me from going crazy here."

Without answering Qin Ming's question, Zhao Wuji looked up and scanned the entire Great Soul Arena, his voice booming like thunder throughout the arena.

"Fine, fine! Fine, Shrek Academy!" The person in charge of the Soul Arena in Box Number Three looked ashen-faced as he clenched his fists at the arrogant and unscrupulous Zhao Wuji.

Just as he was about to bite the bullet and forcefully intervene, the situation on the field suddenly changed dramatically!

hum!

A huge black shadow appeared out of thin air, completely enveloping the short Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji felt a great sense of crisis and subconsciously activated his Martial Soul True Body.

A golden light shot into the sky, and his body expanded as if inflated. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a golden giant bear over ten meters tall.

Roar!

Before the bear's roar could fully escape, a large hand pressed down on his shoulder. Without him noticing, a giant, standing 26 meters tall and exceptionally robust, clad in amethyst armor, quietly appeared beside him.

……

Rewinding to when Qin Ming entered the arena, Tang Shan watched the Heavenly Battle Teacher jump onto the stage, a faint smile appearing on his lips. His opponent had not disappointed him, or rather, his opponent's choice was entirely within Tang Shan's expectations.

"What do we do now?" Gu Yue gently nuzzled Tang Shan's chin with her little head and asked softly.

She was certain that Tang Shan would not allow the Shrek Academy students to continue acting so recklessly, after all, the Royal Fighting Team not only included his disciples, but also Dugu Yan.

Holding the girl's small hand and gently stroking it, Tang Shan gazed at the figure struggling to stand under the pressure of the Soul Saint and said unhurriedly, "No rush. It's not too late to make a move after he has a thorough understanding of Shrek Academy."

Just as Tang Shan had predicted, Zhao Wuji deliberately avoided Qin Ming's questioning and chose to make a big scene. His words, "No one can stop me from going crazy," made Tang Shan vaguely see the shadow of an old friend in him—Is it you, the Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult? Why are you here in this era?

The rest of the process is quite simple: activate your Martial Soul, perform a Silver-level second awakening, and start with the Dharma Image Heaven and Earth technique. As your body expands, have Gu Yue teleport you, and the power of the Purple Crystal will automatically condense into armor, resulting in the scene where the giant Tang Shan transformed into appears out of thin air.

……

An immense force descended upon Zhao Wuji's shoulder, and the giant bear he had transformed into emitted a series of ear-piercing cracking sounds.

With difficulty, he turned his head and looked at the amethyst giant, who was much taller than himself. A hideous smile appeared on the bear face of the giant bear that Zhao Wuji had transformed into.

"Tang Shan, it's you!" How could he not recognize the person in front of him? The battle from several years ago seemed like yesterday, and the chance encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest a while ago gave him an extremely clear understanding of the other party: the other party had once killed the 100,000-year-old soul beast Titan Giant Ape. Although the other party was only a Soul Emperor at present, in terms of actual combat power, he was no less than any Title Douluo. In other words, he could be regarded as a titled powerhouse without a title.

Remembering the academy the other party belonged to and its connection with the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, the reason for the sudden suppression of him became self-evident. With this thought in mind, the smile on Xiong's face grew even brighter. There was no way around it; the difference in strength was undeniable.

"I heard you have some opinions about this Soul Battle?" Tang Shan's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of all the spectators present. Everyone subconsciously focused their attention on the two enormous creatures in the arena, anticipating what would happen next.

Remembering the children's lifeless eyes when he came down, Zhao Wuji, despite being afraid of Tangshan's strength, still wanted to struggle.

"Tangshan, this Soul Battle is indeed a bit strange. I am your teacher, and even though my strength may not be as good as yours, I still want to say that this Soul Battle is inappropriate for the sake of my students." His voice trembled, but his eyes were more determined than ever before. Despite the immense force on his shoulders, Zhao Wuji spoke with difficulty.

Flander, his brow furrowed, stood at the edge of the VIP box with a hole punched in it, nervously watching the situation below the ring.

"I heard you have some opinions about this Soul Battle?" Tang Shan didn't answer, but simply repeated his previous words, and suddenly increased the force in his hand.

Click!

The Martial Soul True Body, formed from condensed energy, could not withstand such immense pressure and began to crumble, its fragments turning into specks of light and dissipating into the heavens and earth.

"It's no use trying to intimidate me with your power. Everyone's eyes are sharp, and I will not yield." Zhao Wuji was truly stubborn, and quite cunning as well. With just a few words, he put Tang Shan in a difficult position. If it were someone else, they might have hesitated for the sake of their reputation, but Tang Shan didn't care. This time, he didn't even consider reasoning with Tang Shan.

"I heard you have some opinions about this Soul Battle!" Tang Shan suddenly increased the force in his hand, and the Martial Soul True Body exploded directly. Zhao Wuji's sturdy body floated in mid-air and fell straight down. Tang Shan's body also shrank, and just as he landed on the ground, his palm was placed on Zhao Wuji's shoulder again.

Gu Yue's coordination was quite good. As Tang Shan's body began to shrink, she directly teleported a set of trousers to him. However, for some reason, she forgot to teleport a shirt. It's hard to tell whether the other party did it on purpose or by accident.

Tang Shan ignored this minor incident, suppressing Zhao Wuji with one hand, his face kind, and repeated the previous sentence: "I heard you have some opinions about this Soul Battle."

"Tangshan, don't push your luck. If it really comes down to it, we can each take a step back," Zhao Wuji shouted in a low voice.

"Tangshan, let's talk this out. We are indeed in the wrong, but this is for the sake of our students. We hope you can understand." Flander's voice transmission also sounded in his ear at the right time, indicating a slight willingness to back down.

laugh!

Tang Shan glanced up at the middle-aged man with the soles of his shoes standing next to the VIP box, increased the pressure in his hand again, and said calmly, "I heard you have some opinions about this Soul Battle..."

Squeak!

The gaps between the bones pressed tightly together, emitting a harsh grinding sound. A ferocious look appeared on Zhao Wuji's face as the force Tang Shan applied began to damage his body.

"Wait a minute, let's talk this out!" Flander finally couldn't sit still any longer. He could see that his old brother was suffering from injuries, so he immediately took to the air, released his spirit rings, and rushed straight at the two below.

Tang Shan ignored Flander completely, glanced at Zhao Wuji with a half-smile, disregarded the other's resistance, and increased the force in his hand.

"I heard you have some opinions about this Soul Battle." As his words fell, Zhao Wuji could no longer stand. Tang Shan forced him to kneel down, and even though he struggled, it only put more strain on his knees and caused them further injury.

Click!

The bones folded in half, and a stark white bone spur pierced out from Zhao Wuji's thigh, drawing blood.

As Flander hurtled down, his wings flapped suddenly, suspending his body in mid-air. He now understood that Tang Shan had no intention of reasoning with them, but rather of directly confronting them with strength. If he were to approach rashly again, who knew what kind of torment Zhao Wuji would suffer.

Seeing that Dean Shrek wisely remained in mid-air, Tang Shan eased his downward pressure, maintaining the position that required Zhao Wuji to defend with all his might.

"This time, it was Shrek Academy that was at fault for breaking the rules. I hereby apologize to all the teachers and students of the Royal Fighting Team." With a respectful attitude and humble demeanor, Flander's apology was quite sincere.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you. I remember the teachers at Shrek Academy have pretty loud voices, don't they?" Tang Shan tilted his head in confusion as he listened to the words spoken at a normal volume.

Flander's face flushed red, and Zhao Wuji's struggles under Tang Shan's hands suddenly intensified: an insult, a blatant insult. Tang Shan clearly intended to trample Shrek Academy into the ground in front of everyone.

snort!

Tang Shan snorted coldly and pressed Zhao Wuji back down. The muscles in Zhao Wuji's thighs had already cramped from excessive exertion, and now, under Tang Shan's renewed pressure, they were beginning to crack.

"Wait, I'll talk!" Flander's face drained of color. He knew that from this day forward, Shrek Academy would likely become infamous throughout Soto City. He didn't want it, but he couldn't bear to watch Zhao Wuji be treated like this by Tang Shan, and even walk towards his death.

"I am Flander, the dean of Shrek Academy. There was nothing wrong with this battle. We were just making excuses. I apologize to all the teachers and students of the Battle Arena and the Royal Fighting Team."

Flander soared into the air, his soul power carrying his trembling voice, spreading far and wide. Flander clenched his fists; he had essentially thrown mud at himself, how could he accept that? Fortunately, public opinion wasn't entirely against him, after all, Tang Shan's actions did have a hint of using power to oppress others.

Just as Flander had guessed, the onlookers were in an uproar and disgusted by his behavior, but many also speculated that there might be something fishy going on, since Tang Shan's actions were indeed too domineering.

"Then, do you know Dean Flander, the instructor leading the Royal Fighting Team?" Tang Shan was quite pleased with the man's tact and asked the next question with a smile.

Flander's expression changed, and he dared not meet Qin Ming's gaze. Tang Shan was not in a hurry, but turned his gaze to the damaged No. 2 private room: "Do you know the Shrek teachers in this private room, or the team leader of the Royal Fighting Team?"

The scene fell silent. The audience seemed to sense that something was amiss, and their curious gazes darted between Flander, Zhao Wuji, Qin Ming, and the shattered Box Number Two.

"He's just a graduate. He has no respect for his elders and betrayed his alma mater. What's there to say? In my opinion, as the team leader of the Royal Fighting Team, he should have chosen to admit defeat when facing his alma mater's team." Yu Xiaogang walked up to the huge hole that Zhao Wuji had punched and expressed his opinion under the watchful eyes of everyone.

? !

Flander's pupils widened suddenly, and he turned around to look at his good brother. The meaning in his eyes was clear: Are you out of your mind? What are you talking about? What do you mean that you should choose to admit defeat when facing your alma mater's team? Anyone with a bit of wisdom would not say such a stupid thing.

Tang Shan pursed his lips, forcing himself not to laugh. To be honest, Yu Xiaogang's abstraction was beyond his expectations; he never imagined there could be such a freak in the world.

The stands were also stunned. Regardless of whether Tang Shan had coerced Shrek Academy, the Shrek teacher was definitely a bit problematic. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cause such a scene in the Soul Arena and get the graduating students to take the lead in admitting defeat.

Seeing the situation was so favorable, Tang Shan looked at Qin Ming, unable to hide his smile: "Qin Ming, you are a graduate of Shrek Academy. Let me ask you, what is Shrek Academy's motto?"

Shrek's motto! Qin Ming was somewhat dazed. The simple exchange in front of Soto City Gate, everything he had experienced today, and Tang Shan's meaningful expression finally brought him to his senses: it turned out that the motto never had any second meaning; it only had the literal meaning.

"Sir, what is Shrek Academy's motto?" Just then, the host, who had been out of sight, suddenly appeared from some corner, holding a megaphone in his hand. He asked the question and then held the megaphone to Qin Ming's mouth.

Flander's vision went black, and he knew it was all over. Considering what Zhao Wuji had done, some things could never be washed away.

Qin Ming took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his turbulent emotions still made his outstretched hand tremble slightly.

He grabbed the megaphone, his voice filled with hysteria and relief: "Shrek Academy's motto is: Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre!" As soon as he finished speaking, he could no longer bear such a violent blow and staggered backward. Fortunately, the male students of the Royal Fighting Team reacted quickly and caught him.

Wow!

The stands were buzzing with excitement today, filled with dramatic plot twists, explosive speeches, and the earth-shattering school motto. Flander's silence had already said it all; that motto was most likely true.

What strength or arrogance is no longer important; everything about Shrek Academy has already firmly captured the spotlight.

"Let's go." With the matter settled, Tang Shan waved his hand and led the members of the Royal Fighting Team off the stage. When they reached the "corpse-lying area" of the Shrek Seven Devils, his steps faltered slightly. He left a sentence and turned to walk towards the exit.

"So, it turns out that your confidence needs to be maintained by teachers who are shameless, shameless, and unruly. That's really 'not bad'."

Before entering the deep tunnel, Tang Shan turned around, looking at the noisy audience, the bewildered Flander, and Zhao Wuji kneeling on the ground, and gave them his final response: "Scheme? What do you have that's worth scheming against? We are the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and what are you? The quality of our students is worlds apart. Why would we scheme against your students and destroy their confidence? Lying is easy, but it's also hard. I hope you can come up with a better excuse next time. Not just any academy can mess with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

Chapter 449 The Title Douluo Who Broke His Defenses

Tang Shan's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, dealing Flanders a heavy blow. He was so angry that he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turned ashen, and his condition was extremely poor.

Tang Shan's mockery of the Shrek Seven Devils before they left infuriated them, and they wanted to refute him but couldn't find a way to say it.
