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

"Big brother, what brings you here?" Tang Shan stepped forward and gave Su Yuntao a deep hug. Su Yuntao's face turned bright red. Luckily, Tang Shan let go at the crucial moment, otherwise Su Yuntao suspected he would have suffocated.

"Isn't Huo Wu's match this afternoon? Let's take a look at the potential opponents she might face in the future." With a long sigh, Su Yuntao took the red-haired girl's hand again: "Shanzi, this is Huo Wu, my girlfriend; Huo Wu, this is my brother Tang Shan, you should have heard of his name."

“Brother, we met once before. When you were at Shenfeng Academy, did you forget the time your wife kicked the door down?” Upon hearing this, Su Yuntao and Huo Wu coughed simultaneously, their eyes darting around.

P.S.: This is not a divine descent, not a divine descent, not a divine descent. I'm saying it three times because it's important. As I've said before, the entire divine realm, including the five great god-kings, is not an enemy.

Chapter 466 The Old Stories of Xingluo and the Hall of Offering

Tang Shan's gaze swept over the red-haired girl, his expression somewhat strange: Su Yuntao paired with Huo Wu, what kind of combination is this? Moreover, Su Yuntao is also instructing Feng Xiaotian in cultivation, this is truly...

As Tang Shan pondered, he suddenly realized that he was in the middle of another perfect love triangle in Douluo Continent. Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, and Su Yuntao—oh no, Cupid is still working his magic!

"Hello Tangshan, I'm Huowu." Huowu smiled, but her body was somewhat tense, lacking the fiery personality of the original character. It makes sense; facing a top-tier expert on the continent, a prodigy unlike any other, even with a friendly demeanor, it's impossible to immediately adapt.

"Hello," Tang Shan replied with a smile. Su Yuntao glanced at Gu Yue and Dugu Yan with some curiosity: "Shanzi, aren't you going to introduce them to me?"

"Brother, you know them all, one is Gu Yue, the other is Dugu Yan..." His voice trailed off slightly, then he said frankly, "They are all my confidantes."

"Yan Yan, the competition is about to begin." Just then, Ye Lingling's voice came from afar. Looking in the direction of the voice, one could see that all the participating students from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy were ready to go, except for Dugu Yan.

"Tangshan, I'm going to participate in the competition now. You guys can chat all you want." Dugu Yan said goodbye to Tangshan, Su Yuntao, and Huo Wu, and returned to the team with light, quick steps.

At this moment, Su Yuntao and Huo Wu had just recovered from the huge shock of having two close female friends in Tangshan who were safe and sound. They opened their mouths, but didn't know where to begin.

"Brother, let's sit down first and chat while watching the game." Tang Shan coughed a few times and led Su Yuntao to sit in the rest area of ​​the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

After sitting down, Su Yuntao really wanted to ask how Tangshan had managed to do it, but since Gu Yue was sitting right next to his younger brother, he swallowed the question that was on the tip of his tongue.

"Shanzi, are you participating in this competition?" Su Yuntao pondered for a while before finally finding a good angle to start the conversation.

"Let's see how strong the Spirit Hall team is in the end. If they're strong, I'll go. If they're not strong, let Yan Yan, Zhu Yun, and Zhu Qing handle it." Tang Shan leaned back in his chair, looking at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Star Luo Royal Academy who had already taken the stage, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Huo Wu, standing next to Su Yuntao, twitched at the corner of her mouth. After hearing Tang Shan's words, she had given up all hope of winning the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament. Tang Shan could kill a Soul Douluo many years ago, and who knows how ridiculously his strength has become now.

Next, Tangshan and Su Yuntao opened up completely. Su Yuntao recounted the ups and downs he had experienced over the years, while Tangshan talked about what he and Gu Yue had seen and heard while traveling.

Gu Yue remained silent throughout, her bright silver eyes fixed on Tang Shan's profile, a faint smile playing on her lips; Huo Wu gradually opened up and began to tell Tang Shan how she and Su Yuntao had become acquainted.

After a brief exchange, the four quickly turned their attention to the ongoing match. Tian Dou Royal Academy and Xing Luo Royal Academy were undoubtedly the top teams in the history of the competition, and it was truly exciting to see who would emerge victorious.

"That's good," Tang Shan murmured. His relationship with his older brother hadn't changed due to differences in strength or time; it remained the same as when they were children.

Turning his head to look in the direction of Shrek Academy, he felt a little fortunate: at least, even though my strength has improved, I still regard my elder brother as my true elder brother, instead of Dai Mubai turning into Mu Bai!

Recalling Ma Hongjun's experiences in the original timeline, Tang Shan really couldn't understand what the Sea God, the enforcer of the future God Realm, was thinking.

Rong Nianbing had a large number of wives, yet he did not abide by the rule that a first-level god could only bring two relatives to the God Realm; it was truly incomprehensible that a dignified God King would watch his good brother's and partner's wives die of old age on the Douluo Continent.

……

On the wide arena, the atmosphere was tense. Davis, with his cold and hard appearance, had a glint of cold light in his eyes, and the atmosphere around him dropped to freezing point.

"Zhu Yun, if you commit suicide here, our Dai family will not pursue the Zhu family's faults." He spoke each word slowly and deliberately, his killing intent palpable.

The thought of his stunningly beautiful fiancée moaning and groaning beneath the Crown Prince fueled an uncontrollable fire of jealousy within Davis.

Today, Zhu Zhuyun was wearing the school uniform of Tiandou Royal Academy. The white shirt with gold trim perfectly outlined her figure, but the shorts that just covered her thighs made her skin look even whiter. Combined with her innate charm, she was definitely a femme fatale.

The Zhu family of Xingluo is indeed exceptionally talented. Even though the school uniform had enough room for extra room, their ample bosom was still almost spilling out. The tightly fastened buttons made one sigh: They must have worked so hard to bear such immense pressure.

"Ha, threatening me with the Zhu family? Do you think I still have any feelings for the Zhu family?" Zhu Zhuyun sneered, her words utterly merciless.

"You should know that your father is still in the hands of our Star Luo Empire!" Davis's face darkened, his fists clenched, and seeing that Zhu Zhuyun was unconcerned, he threatened in a cold voice.

"You mean Zhu Qinggao?" Zhu Zhuyun's expression returned to calm. "When he plans to use his own daughter as a stepping stone to climb higher, I will no longer recognize him as a father."

Davis fell silent, his gaze shifting to Zhu Zhuqing behind Zhu Zhuyun. Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, but simply moved closer to her sister, silently showing her support.

"Alright, both teams, return to your positions. The match is about to begin." The elderly referee from the Spirit Hall, who had been observing for a long time, spoke up as soon as he saw that the tension between the two sides had built up.

"Hmph!" Davis snorted coldly, leading his team back to the edge of the arena. Zhu Zhuyun waved her hand, signaling the team members to return to their positions.

"Zhu Yun, what do you think we should do this time?" Dugu Yan knew that this competition was of great significance to Zhu Zhu Yun, so she took the initiative to ask for her opinion.

"Just do it the same way as before." Zhu Zhuyun's face blossomed into a bright smile. "Star Luo Royal Academy is no match for us."

……

"Zhu Yun's father is still in the hands of the Star Luo Empire. Should we help her find him?" After all, the other party would be calling her master's wife in the future, so Gu Yue was still concerned about Zhu Zhu Yun's situation.

"No need. She doesn't have that deep feelings for Zhu Qinggao. She also knows my strength. If she really cared about Zhu Qinggao, she would have told me long ago." Tang Shan shook his head slightly. Zhu Zhuyun is not stupid. After he saved her, she decisively became his disciple, which shows her intelligence. If she really wanted to save Zhu Qinggao, she would never act on her own. Instead, she would ask him, her teacher, for help.

That said, I always feel that words like "intelligent," "clever," or "wise" seem a bit inappropriate in the context of Douluo Continent. For example, there's the wisdom of the Sea God, the wisdom of the Dragon God, and the Silver Dragon King who inherited the Dragon God's wisdom...

His thoughts began to wander, and Tang Shan couldn't help but look at the silver-haired girl sitting to the side.

Gu Yue blinked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just thinking about something else." Tang Shan smiled, gently extending his arm to pull the girl into his embrace. Inhaling the fragrance of her hair, he was somewhat intoxicated—regardless of her intelligence, he could live off the beauty of the girl in his arms for a lifetime.

Energy and soul skills surged and collided on the field, martial souls were imbued with power, and dazzling light shone through the air. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy, led by two exceptional Soul Kings and one exceptional Soul Grandmaster, faced the Star Luo Royal Academy, whose strength was mediocre and who didn't even possess a martial soul fusion skill. The outcome was predictable. Although they resisted for a few minutes, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy quickly gained the upper hand as the battle progressed, and soon that advantage transformed into victory, decisively eliminating the Star Luo Royal Academy.

Facing Davis, Zhu Zhuyun did not use her full strength. After Davis was knocked off the stage, she immediately turned to deal with the other enemies.

call!

With a heavy heart, Davis, who had just managed to sit up and was slightly injured, watched the slender figure gradually disappear into the distance.

The Zhu family no longer has any women capable of partnering with him to perform the Martial Soul Fusion Technique. Currently, none of the young members of the entire Dai family royal family have successfully paired up. This means that the future Star Luo Empire will inevitably lack the Netherworld White Tiger as a trump card for some time. For some reason, Davis had a premonition of misfortune, as if the Star Luo Empire's fate was sealed.

"Are you alright?" A somewhat unfamiliar voice sounded beside him. Davis looked up in confusion, his pupils contracting slightly.

Dai Mubai stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at his older brother with a somewhat complicated expression.

"What are you doing here?" Forcing himself to stand up, ignoring the pain caused by the violent movement that reopened his wounds, Davis wanted to maintain his dignity as the eldest brother.

The Star Luo Soul Masters who had originally intended to come over to provide treatment saw two somewhat similar figures by the arena and wisely chose to stop. There were some things that these lowly pawns couldn't participate in.

Dai Mubai's eyes flickered: "I'm also participating. I'm a student from Shrek Academy."

After they finished speaking, they fell silent again, unsure of what to say next.

Are they going to mock their rivals? Looking at the two ghostly figures on the stage, Dai Mubai and Davis both felt somewhat disheartened.

"I'm leaving. The throne is yours, I won't fight you for it." Dai Mubai turned around and didn't look at his elder brother again.

“I didn’t win, and you didn’t lose. When we can no longer use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, the so-called royal elimination system has lost its meaning.” Davis didn’t look at Dai Mubai, but just said to himself, “If you want, you can come back anytime.”

Dai Mubai's steps faltered slightly as he continued forward without offering a reply—whether he returned to the Star Luo Empire or not was no longer important. He was doing quite well at Shrek Academy, and that was enough.

Losing their Martial Soul Fusion Skill seems to have also deprived these two royal princes, who should have been enemies, of the motivation to fight each other. As for whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, no one knows.

……

Inside the spacious hall, bright sunlight streamed in, further emphasizing the solemnity and sanctity of the place. Colossal angel statues stood quietly, their gentle gazes seemingly gazing upon all living beings.

"Greetings, Grand Elder." The Golden Crocodile Douluo, dressed in a simple gray robe, bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man who seemed to be one with the statue.

Qian Daoliu turned slightly to the side, refusing to accept the Golden Crocodile Douluo's salute, and shook his head helplessly.

"Is Xiaoxue alright these days?" Although the various elders would go to Tiandou City every now and then and stay at the Tiandou Crown Prince's Mansion for a few days, they were far less knowledgeable than the Golden Crocodile Douluo who followed Qian Renxue.

"It's alright, my cultivation is going very smoothly. I just broke through to Soul Saint. It's just that between me and Tang Shan..." Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't finish his sentence, but Qian Daoliu understood the unspoken meaning.

"Let's put Xiaoxue and Tangshan aside for now." Qian Daoliu rubbed his temples in distress. He was really not good at matters of the heart, and in terms of experience, he probably couldn't even compare to some young people. "Tangshan knows Xiaoxue's true identity now, right? What was his reaction at the time?"

Through his conversation with Qian Renxue, he had gained some understanding of Tang Shan's attitude. However, since his granddaughter liked Tang Shan, he suspected that Qian Renxue's words contained a lot of subjective judgment. Qian Daoliu still needed to verify with Golden Crocodile Douluo.

“That kid adapted very quickly. I even suspect that he figured out our identities a long time ago through subtle clues.” Golden Crocodile Douluo forced a smile on his face, which was as bark as an old tree. “He is very supportive of our Spirit Hall, or rather, he only cares about who trained him and has no other thoughts in his mind.”

"That's good." Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction, but the words that Golden Crocodile Douluo said next made him fall silent.

"Tangshan already knows about Xiaoxue's parents' situation. He suggested that we find a suitable opportunity to tell Xiaoxue the truth about what happened back then."

Qian Daoliu was not dissatisfied with Golden Crocodile Douluo telling Tang Shan about the old story of the Spirit Hall, but Tang Shan's subsequent suggestion made him hesitate: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Why don't we just let it rot in the bellies of us old guys and bury it together?"

"That kid from Tangshan said something back then." Golden Crocodile Douluo slowly straightened his hunched body, his gaze fixed on Qian Daoliu. "Do you dare to bet? Can you bet that crazy woman won't tell Xiaoxue about this?" At this moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo finally displayed some of the majesty befitting a Second Elder of the Spirit Hall.

"How could that be? She's Xiaoxue's mother." Qian Daoliu's expression changed drastically for the first time. He simply couldn't imagine the devastating blow Qian Renxue would suffer when she learned the truth about that matter.

"Why is it impossible? When has she ever treated Xiaoxue as her own daughter?" Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes flashed with cold light. "Isn't it obvious that she wanted Hu Liena to be her disciple? She wants that girl to be the Pope? No way."

"I understand. Thank you for the guidance, Second Elder." Qian Daoliu let out a long breath and bowed slightly to Golden Crocodile Douluo with a solemn expression.

"It's nothing. I just don't want Xiaoxue to get hurt again." Golden Crocodile Douluo's body hunched over again, and his powerful aura slowly subsided. As he walked out of the Hall of Worship, he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and looked at Qian Daoliu, "There's one more thing. Tangshan has never had a teacher. From beginning to end, the master has always been him."

Chapter 467 The Final Match

The hall fell silent again, but Golden Crocodile Douluo's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Qian Daoliu's mind.

What does it mean that Tangshan has no teachers? What does it mean that Tangshan is the master? He already had the answer in his heart, but he still found it hard to believe.

How old was Tang Shan when the master published his theory? Now, to tell him that the two are the same person is simply a fantasy.

However, Qian Daoliu knew very well that as the most senior and always serious Golden Crocodile Douluo, he would never joke about such a thing. No matter how hard he found it hard to believe, he had to accept the absurd truth—Tang Shan was equal to a master.

"I never expected it, I really never expected it, the master is Tang Shan." The waves in his heart were hard to calm down for a long time, and a question rose uncontrollably in Qian Daoliu's mind: Tang Shan was only a few years old at that time, how could he write such an influential theory?

Looking up at the solemn and sacred angel statue before him, he already had his answer: Gods are good, gods are good. If Tangshan is really chosen by the gods, Xiaoxue will not have to endure that eternal loneliness.

……

Leaving aside the undercurrents within Wuhun City, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is drawing to a close, and some events have deviated slightly from the original storyline.

Canghui Academy did not encounter Shrek Academy, nor did Shi Nian attempt to kill Tang San. Although the power of the Seven-in-One Soul Skill Fusion Technique was immense, Canghui Academy was still eliminated by a well-prepared opponent.

Knowing that winning the championship was hopeless, and that the Spirit Hall team was indeed powerful, Huo Wu did not choose to create a new version of the Divine Wind Academy, even though she could have Su Yuntao act as a liaison.

In the end, Blazing Fire Academy narrowly lost to Shrek Academy. As for how they lost, it can only be said that it was full of coincidences, such as loss of control of soul power, berserk soul skills, and poor quality of the arena causing them to twist their ankles and have their soul skills hit their own people.

The Chosen Ones are still putting their strength into action. With his foresight, wisdom, and a "slight" bit of luck, Tang San successfully led the Shrek Seven Devils into the final three.

In the final match, there were no ordinary spectators left. Only nobles, powerful Soul Masters, and the other eliminated teams were able to watch the championship battle.

“Teacher, this Spirit Hall doesn’t seem that great. Only that Hu Liena has an extraordinary thousand-year spirit ring, while the other two Golden Generation members are just ordinary spirit kings. Why don’t we take care of them?” Zhu Zhuyun smiled and approached Tang Shan. Dugu Yan didn’t say anything, but just cast an inquiring look at Tang Shan.

"Yun Tao, it seems your brother won't be making a move this time." Huo Wu and Su Yun Tao were also sitting in the rest area of ​​the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Recalling the strength of the Spirit Hall's "Golden Generation," Huo Wu said with some regret.

The name "Golden Generation" had been frequently heard by participating students since the very beginning of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, and Huo Wu had high hopes for them. She didn't expect them to surpass Tang Shan, but at the very least, they should be able to outperform all the other participating students besides Tang Shan.

As one can see from the spirit rings displayed by the so-called golden generation, Huo Wu and many other participating teams were greatly disappointed. It was not that they were not strong, but that there were already outstanding examples before them.

It's worth noting that the Zhu sisters and Dugu Yan had all reached the fourth ring of the ten-thousand-year level, while Zhu Zhuqing had gone even further, reaching the second ring of the thousand-year level.

Compared to them, Xie Yue and Yan of the Golden Generation only had normal soul ring configurations, which looked somewhat shabby.

As for Hu Liena, she only has a second soul ring of the thousand-year cycle. Her fourth soul ring is also a thousand-year cycle. Whether it's better to have an extra thousand-year soul ring or an extra ten-thousand-year soul ring, the answer is self-evident.
