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

"You, Tangshan, Xiaoxue has been so proactive, and you still refuse? Is that appropriate?"

"Qingluan, didn't you say you wanted to test that kid? I agree, we'll go together then." The Lion Douluo rubbed his hands together, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

“We brothers can have a mixed doubles match.” Qianjun and Jiangmo exchanged a glance and spoke at the same time, intending to teach Tangshan a lesson.

"There's one more thing. During the Tangshan Fifth Ring Road incident, he directly killed a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape. Now his cultivation has reached the Seventh Ring," Qian Daoliu added unhurriedly.

"Well, I might need to go into seclusion for a while. Remember to be ruthless and avenge me then." Lion Douluo's lips twitched, and he decisively chose to back down.

He was indeed burly and strong, but he wasn't stupid, nor did he have any brains. He was well aware of what it meant to directly annihilate a 100,000-year-old Titan Ape; it was something he could only accomplish by giving it his all.

Back in the fifth ring, that kid from Tangshan was already this freakish; heaven knows just how strong his opponent is now in the seventh ring.

As for the claim that Tang Shan's strength didn't increase after his breakthrough, that's impossible. He's well aware of the effect of that kid's second soul skill; it's practically cheating. If they really fought, it's hard to say who would ultimately teach whom a lesson.

"I think we shouldn't be too harsh on young people, and Qianjun is right, they've already been tested," Qingluan Douluo nodded in agreement. It wasn't that he was a coward, but his old bones couldn't withstand Tang Shan's hammer. Thinking about Tang Shan's fighting style in the records, he could already foresee a terrifying scene of an enormous hand grabbing his Martial Soul True Body in its grasp.

Qianjun and the Demon-Slaying Douluo exchanged a glance, and with perfect understanding, put away the Panlong Staff that they had just pulled out in anger. They sat cross-legged on the ground, their eyes slightly closed, their attitude as clear as could be.

Qian Daoliu watched speechlessly as the group of elders changed their expressions faster than flipping through a book, feeling frustrated but unsure where to begin. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly, choosing to simply ignore the relationship between Tang Shan and Qian Renxue.

The sanctuary on one side was filled with a joyful atmosphere, while the papal palace on the other side was oppressively dark, with scattered flames unable to illuminate the pitch-black darkness.

"You mean, Haotian Douluo's son appeared in the Tiandou Tournament?" Bibi Dong leaned back on the luxurious papal throne, her voice devoid of any emotion.

"Your Holiness, it is indeed so. The identities of the twin martial souls, Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer, can be basically confirmed." The Templar Knight below knelt on one knee and answered respectfully.

“Tang Hao…” Bibi Dong tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest of her chair, murmuring the name as she fell into deep thought. After a long while, she waved her hand: “You may leave. I have my own arrangements.”

"Yes." The Templar Knight rose and left. The heavy doors opened and closed, letting in a sliver of sunlight, but the hall remained gloomy.

Squeak!

The gate closed, and darkness returned to the hall. Bibi Dong slowly spoke: "Ghostly Demon, Moon Pass."

"Your subordinates are here." The two Title Douluos appeared before the Pope in a flash, bowing slightly.

"Go and handle it. Don't force it. If there's strong resistance, then withdraw immediately. Also..."

Chapter 460 Turbulence Begins

Thinking of Tangshan, Bibi Dong felt a surge of murderous intent and wanted to eliminate him as soon as possible, but then she remembered the connection between him and the Hall of Offerings, and she gave up her idea.

"Everything else is fine, just be careful." Bibi Dong swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

Chrysanthemum and Demon Lord exchanged a puzzled glance, then bowed slightly and slipped away.

Silence returned to the Papal Palace. Bibi Dong sat upright, her fingers tapping unconsciously on the armrest, a strange and insane smile involuntarily creeping onto her lips.

"Xiaoxue, I heard you're coming back. Great! Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a huge surprise. Hehehehahaha!" The maniacal laughter was tightly suppressed, filled with hysterical outbursts of irrationality.

……

"Tangshan, come here for a second, I have something to tell you."

On the open lawn, horse-drawn carriages were parked haphazardly along the roadside, while the contestants participating in the finals worked in small groups to set up tents.

Tang Shan had just inserted the rivets securing the tent into the ground when Qian Renxue walked over and waved to him.

"Are you alright?" Gu Yue frowned slightly, looking at the angel inheritor warily.

"Don't worry." Tang Shan gently squeezed Gu Yue's small hand, then walked to Qian Renxue's side and followed her to a secluded place.

"There might be an attack on the convoy in a while, so just keep quiet then." Qian Renxue got straight to the point, explaining why she had asked Tang Shan to come.

Tang Shan's eyes flickered, and he uttered two words: "Tang San?"

“That’s right.” Qian Renxue nodded approvingly. “You must be aware of my conflict with Haotian Douluo. The main purpose of this action was to test whether he was following Tang San. If we could take care of or kidnap his son, that would be the best outcome.”

"Alright, Your Highness, I understand. If it really draws out Haotian Douluo, should I make a move?" Tang Shan's eyes narrowed slightly, a chilling glint flashing in them.

"No need for now. After all, it's really unreasonable for you to launch a sudden attack on Haotian Douluo. Just hold back. The people sent to our Tiandou Royal Academy will mainly be for harassment." Qian Renxue shook her head and rejected Tang Shan's suggestion.

"Alright, Your Highness, I'll do as you say." Tang Shan nodded, accepting Qian Renxue's arrangement.

"Also, when I return to Wuhun City this time, I hope you will accompany me to see someone." Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, then remembered the message her grandfather had sent her, and said.

It must be Qian Daoliu, right? I wonder what he thinks of my relationship with Qian Renxue? Tang Shan had a general idea of ​​what was going on and readily accepted Qian Renxue's invitation. It's just going to the Offering Hall, what's so scary about that? Qian Daoliu is Qian Daoliu, and Qian Xunji is Qian Xunji. Tang Shan trusted the former's moral integrity completely. It's impossible for them to drug him and force him to be paired with their granddaughter, how could that be?

If Qian Daoliu had this kind of ability to act, then the 100,000-year-old whale glue that was previously stored in Tiandou City would not have been available for him to use.

"Does Your Highness have anything else? If not, I'll head back now." Seeing Qian Renxue fall silent, Tang Shan took the initiative to ask.

"It's alright. Just remember to stay behind when the time comes, since you'll all be my subordinates in the future." A complex light flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, but she didn't say anything more in the end.

As she watched the young man turn and leave, the dark light in her eyes burned even brighter. "Tang Shan, when will you finally belong to me?"

"What does she want with you?" Back at their original encampment, Gu Yue looked at Tang Shan with her beautiful eyes, her vigilance and wariness undisguised.

Tang Shan didn't hide anything and told Gu Yue everything about the possible attacks that might happen and his possible arrangements after arriving in Wuhun City.

"It seems she hasn't given up on her feelings for you." Gu Yue smirked and lightly kicked Tang Shan with her toe.

Tang Shan smiled wryly, realizing this as well. If he hadn't taken his leave in time, who knows what might have happened.

“Take this. It can monitor your physical condition. If you encounter danger, I can locate you immediately through it and then teleport you here.” Gu Yue tilted her head and thought for a moment, then took out a palm-sized hexagonal silver scale from her pocket and handed it to Tang Shan.

This feels so familiar. What if I get drugged later, and then Gu Yue comes to my rescue at the crucial moment? Tang Shan thought to himself as he reached out and took the dragon scale from Gu Yue's hand.

He was just thinking about it. Unlike a certain 50 in the future who couldn't control his blood and qi, Tang Shan's level of "seeing the gods without getting hurt" was enough to ensure that he had sufficient control over himself. Let alone medicinal wine, even if he ate 100,000-year-old whale glue like candy, he could do whatever he wanted. Losing control was absolutely impossible.

The scales of the ancient moon are not thick; they feel light as a feather in the palm of your hand, and when you gently stroke them with your fingers, they feel like a piece of warm, soft jade—the texture is excellent.

"Thank you." Tang Shan put the scales away and pulled the girl into his arms, giving her a light kiss on the forehead.

Gu Yue struggled symbolically for a moment, but her body quickly went limp. She greedily inhaled the masculine aura emanating from Tang Shan, and the entire dragon was intoxicated.

……

"Little San, be on your guard lately. You've exposed your Clear Sky Hammer spirit, and the Spirit Hall might take action." Flander sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Tang San with a serious expression.

"Yes, Dean, I'm sorry for causing everyone trouble." Tang San apologized proactively, lowering his head somewhat ashamed.

"Xiao San, don't blame yourself. He's a brother, I'll always remember him," Dai Mubai said nonchalantly, patting Tang San on the shoulder.

“That’s right, we’re partners, we’ll stand together through thick and thin. So what if it’s the Spirit Hall? What’s there to be afraid of?” Ma Hongjun was fearless, and the other four echoed him.

"Brother Dai, and everyone else..." Tang San's eyes were glistening with tears, deeply moved by this camaraderie.

"Rest assured, as my disciple, I would never allow you to suffer even the slightest harm." Just then, the tent curtain opened, and Yu Xiaogang walked in with one hand behind his back, his face full of arrogance. A sliver of sunlight shone down, making him appear even more extraordinary.

Everyone's lips twitched in unison. As soon as Yu Xiaogang arrived, the atmosphere in the room felt a bit off. All the previous arrogance had vanished, replaced by awkwardness and unease.

Flander seemed to realize something, his brow furrowing slightly: "Xiao Gang, are you going to see that woman?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded gently, gazing affectionately at Tang San, his eyes filled with expectation and a do-or-die determination.

Tang San felt rather uncomfortable and subconsciously avoided Yu Xiaogang's somewhat intense gaze. Yu Xiaogang didn't mind and said with deep affection, "Little San, I'm going to see someone and ask her not to attack you. I'll also ask her to help you get the cultivation method for twin martial souls. If I encounter any accidents, you must cultivate diligently and go see the scenery at the pinnacle of this continent for your master."

He secretly grumbled to himself, "What danger could there be in you going to see your old flame or the current Pope of the Spirit Hall?" But for the sake of his future, Tang San pretended to agree.

"Teacher, I will definitely cultivate diligently, you must come back!" Tang San's hands involuntarily grasped Yu Xiaogang's palms, and tears in his eyes seemed about to burst forth.

"Good, good, good!" Yu Xiaogang was greatly relieved. He patted Tang San's shoulder heavily, turned around and pushed open the tent flap. Sunlight streamed in, making him look so majestic and tall. "In this way, even if I never return, I will have no regrets."

"Teacher!" Tears streamed down his face, soaking his clothes. Tang San tried to chase after him, but stumbled and fell. What a scene of filial piety between a loving disciple and his disciple!

The Shrek Seven Devils had strange expressions, looking at everything that had just happened before their eyes, feeling an inexplicable sense of absurdity. They were well aware of the conflict between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang; the only reason the two had maintained a superficial master-disciple relationship was because of their own needs.

Yu Xiaogang wanted Tang San to prove his theory, while Tang San hoped to obtain the cultivation method for twin martial souls from Bibi Dong through Yu Xiaogang. Their alliance was purely based on mutual benefit, with no genuine feelings whatsoever.

"Got it!" Upon hearing Tang San's heartfelt call, Yu Xiaogang, who had stepped out of the tent, clenched his right fist triumphantly. He had always said that no one could withstand his heartfelt combo. So what if there was no emotion before? Now there is, isn't there?

"Old Zhao!" Overjoyed, Yu Xiaogang started howling in front of the tent. A moment later, Zhao Wuji, his face ashen, walked up to Yu Xiaogang with his fists clenched. "Hey Yu, what are you yelling about?"

"I need to hurry up and go to the Spirit Hall. You're in charge of taking me there." Yu Xiaogang said arrogantly, and he was even more impolite in ordering Zhao Wuji.

quack!

The bones cracked repeatedly. Zhao Wuji clenched his fists, a ferocious smile on his face. He was already in a bad mood because Tang San had exposed the Clear Sky Hammer, and Yu Xiaogang had really crossed the line.

“I’m going to the Spirit Hall to find Bibi Dong and tell her not to target Xiao San.” Yu Xiaogang’s next words made Zhao Wuji freeze in mid-air. Seeing the other party’s astonished expression, who was completely unaware that he had dodged a lesson, he began to give advice. “I’ll also ask Xiao San about the cultivation method of twin spirits. Old Zhao, let’s hurry up.”

"Don't be angry, for the children, for Tang San, I won't be angry!" Zhao Wuji's face twisted with rage as he forced himself to endure Yu Xiaogang's awkward address and replied, "I'll go ask Dean Fu first." With that, he hurried into the tent, afraid that if he stayed any longer in front of Yu Xiaogang, he might slap him across the face. A powerful Soul Master, always calling him "Old Zhao," what right does he have!

After a while, Zhao Wuji came out of the tent again, glanced at Yu Xiaogang, picked him up without saying a word, and sped off towards Wuhun City. Every time he stepped on the ground, he left a footprint several inches deep, and dust flew everywhere.

Inside the tent, watching Zhao Wuji leave, Tang San's eyes flashed with a sharp light: Yu Xiaogang, if you can really get your hands on the cultivation method for twin martial souls, then your life countdown can almost begin.

……

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. On the open field, a group of Soul Masters dressed in black robes moved swiftly forward. At the front of the group, a effeminate man and a phantom figure floated and moved slowly.

"Old Ghost, did you go to the Offering Hall? What did the offerings say?" Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan asked his partner beside him in a soft, feminine voice, making a delicate gesture with his fingers.

Several years ago, Golden Crocodile Douluo successfully bribed Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo through the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, thereby becoming the eyes and ears of the Hall of Worship to monitor Bibi Dong.

"I'm going. The High Priest said to just follow the Pope's instructions." His soul power erupted silently, and Ghost Douluo, like a ghostly shadow, moved forward. The sunlight shone on him, but it couldn't reveal his shadow, making him seem eerie and sinister.

"That's good." Yue Guan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was now a Super Douluo, he was still uneasy in front of Bibi Dong and the other elders of the Hall of Worship.

The more extraordinary one's strength, the more acutely one feels the gap between themselves and others. Although Yue Guan had broken through to level 96 thanks to the miraculous herb, the Heavenly Chrysanthemum, he still felt insignificant before the various elders and the current Pope. If he disobeyed the Pope's orders, he truly didn't know what awaited him. Navigating between the two major powers of the Spirit Hall was simply too difficult!

"Remember, if you encounter Tang Hao, don't fight him head-on. If he goes berserk, neither of us will come out on top." Ghostly Demon didn't have as many ulterior motives as Chrysanthemum Douluo. After giving this advice, he started climbing the mountain.

"Understood." Yue Guan followed unhurriedly, while a large group of black-robed men behind him rapidly ascended the mountain path. Before long, the ambush team from the Spirit Hall reached the summit.

……

The long procession of carriages moved slowly forward. Ahead lay a ravine, with towering mountains and forests surrounding the road, casting dappled shadows that blocked the midday sun.

Tang Shan lay back on the roof of the carriage, while Dugu Yan lazily nestled in his arms, the sunlight making them feel drowsy.

call!

A cool breeze swirled around the roof of the car, where Gu Yue sat cross-legged, idly poking Tang Shan's cheek with her fingers, looking rather bored.

Ah!

With her bright silver eyes blinking, Gu Yue, relying on her powerful mental strength, spotted the two Title Douluos and a large number of Soul Masters on the mountaintop. Her eyes lit up with interest as she quietly observed how things were unfolding.

Tang Shan had already sat up at some point. Dugu Yan stretched and yawned, looking somewhat puzzled, and said, "Wasn't this lying down quite comfortable? Why aren't you continuing?"

"Some trouble is coming our way, we should give it a proper welcome." Dugu Yan instantly raised her guard to the highest level, but fortunately, the telepathic message she received made her relax again.

"Fengzhi, there are two Title Douluos on the mountaintop." Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi's carriage was quite close to the Shrek Academy group. One was to prevent Ning Rongrong from encountering danger, and the other was to keep an eye on Xiao Wu and see if there was any opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Using the Seven Kill Sword's keen perception of killing intent, Chen Xin was the first to discover the presence of the two Title Douluos on the mountaintop.
