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

Bringing his wandering thoughts back, Flander looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu, who had already disappeared, and sighed softly: "The match is over. Let's pack up and get ready to go back."

"But Dean, what about Xiao Wu? And Tang San?" Yu Tianheng, looking lost and disoriented, raised his head blankly and asked with trembling lips. He still couldn't accept Xiao Wu's sudden departure. As for her identity as a 100,000-year-old soul beast, he didn't care.

"The mistress's father is the renowned Haotian Douluo, who is famous throughout the continent. Xiao Wu was taken away by him..." Flander hesitated for a moment, but still said those three words, "She is very safe."

A 100,000-year-old soul beast being taken away by a titled Douluo—what safety could it possibly have? But he was merely a Soul Saint, and was powerless to help.

Yu Xiaogang stood there blankly, completely unconcerned about the 100,000-year-old soul beast or Tang San and Xiao Wu who had been taken away. Tang Shan's battle with Haotian Douluo had completely shattered his worldview.

Tang Shan gave him hope of becoming famous throughout the continent, but their conflicted relationship completely extinguished that faint hope. As for his original disciple Tang San, Yu Xiaogang no longer cared about him. As long as Tang Shan lived, he would be like a mountain pressing down on the Douluo Continent. No matter how talented he was, he couldn't overcome the terrifying record of being a Soul Saint in the title battle, let alone directly defeating a titled Soul Saint.

"Fine, whatever." After taking one last, reluctant look at the stunningly beautiful Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai finally let go of his resentment. When the gap becomes large enough, the thought of catching up will completely disappear.

"Dean, after graduation, I'm going to find Tang San." Yu Tianheng suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with determination.

"Alright, I won't try to persuade you any further. Just be careful, you and Tang San are classmates after all." Flander naturally saw through Yu Tianheng's ulterior motives. Given the complicated relationship between the three of them, he couldn't say much and could only offer a vague reminder.

Ning Rongrong returns to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Tang San and Xiao Wu go missing, Yu Tianheng is about to embark on a long journey, and the Shrek Seven Devils are about to fall apart.

……

"Tangshan, congratulations on your achievement." Qian Renxue walked into the Tiandou Royal Academy team with a refined smile.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince." The team members said in unison, their excitement still lingering.

"Your Highness, winning the championship is only right. If we hadn't won, I think we would have become a laughing stock throughout the entire Douluo Continent," Tang Shan replied modestly.

"Then congratulations on defeating Haotian Douluo." Qian Renxue revealed a genuine smile, watching Tang Shan chop Tang Hao with his axe, her excitement was hard to calm down for a long time.

Tang Hao was her father's killer. Seeing him flee in a sorry state with a severed arm, Qian Renxue's heart was naturally stirred. Her gaze towards Tang Shan became even more tender: Tang Shan, you've been so good to me, how should I reward you?

Tang Shan coughed lightly, deliberately avoiding Qian Renxue's gaze. It wasn't that he felt guilty; it was just that Qian Renxue, dressed as a man, looked at him with gentle, watery eyes, which always made him feel uneasy. It would have been fine if she were dressed as a woman.

"Your Highness, Tang Shan just went through a great battle, so I'll go back to rest on his behalf." Gu Yue's perception was extremely sharp. Noticing the increasingly audacious gaze from the angel lady, she subtly stepped between the two, her tone calm.

"Alright." Qian Renxue sighed inwardly, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes, but outwardly she could only agree. There was no other way; whether it was her identity as the Crown Prince of Tiandou in reality or her hidden identity as the young master of the Spirit Hall, there was no reason for her to keep Tang Shan, let alone take him back to her room as she had imagined.

Looking at Gu Yue and Dugu Yan beside Tang Shan, Qian Renxue made up her mind that once she took power, she would definitely drive the two away. If she couldn't drive them away, she would make them grovel and serve as servants.

……

"The way she's looking at you is getting stranger and stranger," Gu Yue said telepathically, pulling Tang Shan's left arm into her embrace.

"There's nothing we can do. Who told her to think Tang Hao was her father's killer?" Tang Shan said calmly, transmitting his voice to Gu Yue and briefly explaining the feud between Miss Angel's parents.

After listening to Tang Shan's account, Gu Yue fell silent. There were too many flaws, and she really didn't know where to begin. In particular, Bibi Dong's liking for Yu Xiaogang was the most incomprehensible thing to her.

Judging from his current appearance, we can infer from his past that Yu Xiaogang is now slovenly and must not have been good-looking when he was young. How could the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall have fallen for him?

Noticing Gu Yue's incredulous expression, Tang Shan's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything more. Compared to Bibi Dong, who was obsessed with love, the actions of the Dragon God and the Dragon Kings were even more incomprehensible, completely unlike what a creature with normal intelligence could do. Was it really "world-shaking wisdom"?

……

Qian Daoliu surveyed the dilapidated Martial Soul Plaza, his astonishment lingering in his eyes.

Looking at Gu Yue and Dugu Yan beside Tang Shan, he couldn't help but sigh. He had mostly heard rumors about Tang Shan's genius before, and even when he had witnessed Tang Shan's fighting, he had only seen his internal martial arts. This was the first time he had seen Tang Shan go all out, and his first move had given him a tremendous shock.

The intensity of the clashes between Tang Shan and Tang Hao later became comparable to the all-out battle between level 98 Title Douluos. In the end, the burst of energy from both sides was comparable to the full-force attack of a Limit Douluo, which was simply exaggerated.

It was not unexpected that Haotian Douluo Tang Hao could unleash such combat power. As the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu had some understanding of the Haotian Sect's Ring-Exploding Secret Technique. However, Tang Hao's combat power was beyond imagination. More importantly, Qian Daoliu knew that this was not all of Tang Hao's trump cards.

According to Golden Crocodile Douluo, the most powerful awakening of the main body martial soul is the second awakening at the gold level. At that time, Tang Shan's strength will directly increase threefold. If we also consider the martial soul true body that has a huge amplification effect on the martial soul...

Qian Daoliu simply couldn't imagine how terrifying Tang Shan would be if he truly unleashed his full power, even if it was just a single strike.

There were many things Qian Daoliu hadn't expected, such as the terrifying attack that Tang Shan unleashed with all his might and in a state of rage.

Chapter 476 Changes in the Divine Realm

"I admit that I did interfere with the Douluo plane, but it was out of necessity." In the Shura Blood Palace, the Shura God simply "surrendered." He didn't want to continue wasting time with the God of Destruction, so he simply admitted his mistake. After so many years of being partners, all he did was interfere with the Douluo plane. He would punish himself with three cups of wine.

The shamelessness of the Asura God can be seen from his behavior in the original timeline. He forcibly granted Tang San a godhood when Tang San already had one, which shows that his moral integrity is really not high.

"Tell me, what exactly is the reason you had no choice?" The God of Destruction stared intently at the God of Asura with his deep purple eyes, wanting to see what the God of Asura could say.

"Um, there's been a problem with the god I chose to inherit the divine power." After hesitating for a moment, the God of Asura simply recounted Tang San's experiences to the God of Destruction.

The God of Destruction only glanced at him briefly before noticing the problem: "This Tang San isn't originally from Douluo Continent, is he? And you've been interfering with other planes without permission."

As the saying goes, "When you have too many lice, you don't feel itchy; when you have too much debt, you don't worry." The Asura God frankly admitted, "I have no choice. It's really difficult to cultivate a god's successor through normal trials, so I simply cultivate one from a young age."

The God of Destruction remained silent, and when the God of Asura later bestowed upon Tang San the title of "Child of a Man-Made Plane," he merely raised an eyebrow.

After looking through it for a while, he lost his patience and turned to ask the God of Destruction with a frown, "What's the problem you're talking about? I think Tang San's martial soul cultivation has some issues, and that teacher has some problems too, almost getting beaten to death by his own father..." The God of Destruction paused for a moment, then continued, "Aside from these minor issues, hasn't his growth been quite smooth?"

Success! The God of Asura smiled smugly to himself. He had deliberately shown the God of Destruction Tang San's entire growth story; how could the God of Destruction demonstrate his contribution to the God Realm if the latter didn't lose patience? After all, he was a God-King with a magnanimous heart, willing to sacrifice his own interests to help Tang San grow.

Feeling that everything was under control, the God of Asura still put on a solemn expression: "If it were just these twists and turns, I wouldn't interfere with the Douluo Plane so casually. After all, the destiny of the chosen one of the plane is there. Turning misfortune into good fortune and disaster into auspiciousness are commonplace for them. As long as they can grow up in the end, that's fine. Unfortunately, my successor has met an opponent."

As for Tang Shan, the God of Asura didn't have such detailed knowledge. The materials he gathered mainly focused on Tang Shan's performance in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament and the configuration of his Martial Soul and Soul Rings. Since Tang Shan was always accompanied by the Silver Dragon King, the God of Asura was very careful when gathering information to avoid being discovered.

Fortunately, Tang Shan's current strength is already sufficient. Before the God of Destruction could ask any questions, the God of Asura had already begun to demonstrate his power. Of course, he proactively removed any traces of Gu Yue's presence to prevent any accidents.

As the water mirror appeared, Tang Shan transformed into a giant and clashed head-on with Tang Hao. As soon as the battle began, the God of Destruction's expression changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "What a promising talent! He is indeed a promising talent. There is no problem for him to directly create a second-level godhood in the future, and there is also a considerable probability that he will become a first-level godhood. If he is compatible enough with the five great god-king positions, it is also possible for him to inherit the god-king position."

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Goddess of Lust, who was watching the drama unfold. This was the second time she had heard the God of Destruction speak so highly of cultivators from the lower realms. The last one was Rong Nianbing, a first-level deity who had mastered the concept of emotions and was a potential God-King.

The Asura God smiled slightly, but instead of speaking, he displayed another battle. In this battle, Tang Shan's opponent was the Shrek Seven Devils. Compared to Tang Hao before, this time Tang Shan completely overwhelmed them, displaying even more of his abilities.

The God of Destruction, who was initially somewhat puzzled, suddenly contracted his pupils when he saw Tang Shan shatter Ma Hongjun's fiery wings and Dai Mubai's energy attack with a single slap, and his divine power of destruction surged uncontrollably.

"This is the rudimentary form of the concept of power!" Overwhelmed with excitement, the God of Destruction's voice rose uncontrollably.

“That’s right, this is the prototype of the concept of power. In Douluo Continent, it is called the ultimate power.” The God of Asura sighed with feigned regret. “The trouble is here. Tang Shan and my chosen successor, Tang San, have a conflict. Just now, Tang Shan cut off Tang San’s father’s arm. Now it’s a blood feud. For the sake of my successor, I have no choice but to intervene in the lower realm.”

The God of Destruction stared intently at Tang Shan, the turmoil in his eyes gradually subsiding. He turned to the God of Asura and asked in a deep voice, "Asura, speak. What is your purpose? You should know what the nascent concept of power means."

To break through to God-King, a Level One deity needs to master concepts. Different concepts vary in difficulty of mastering, but the power that can be unleashed after mastering a concept is basically the same. The power of a God-King is only related to the extent to which he explores the concept, and has nothing to do with the difficulty of mastering the concept.

The more difficult a concept is to grasp, the harder it is to break through to the God-King level. But even if you want to grasp a simple concept, you need to see if you have the aptitude to master the corresponding laws.

Take Rong Nianbing, the god of emotions, as an example. His seven kitchen knives are all divine weapons, and they are more or less related to the seven elements. However, Rong Nianbing has not mastered the laws of these seven elements to perfection, let alone made any progress in the direction of concepts.

He has mastered the perfect laws of emotions and has also dabbled in the laws of the seven deadly sins, some of which he has already perfected. If he wants to break through to the God King level, he can either break through with the concept of emotions, or break through with the concept of original sins, or choose one of emotions or original sins to explore deeply and break through.

Both emotions and original sin tend to be abstract concepts, making it even more difficult to elevate them to a conceptual level.

The power law of Tangshan is different. Its effect is simply to amplify power. It is simple and pure. No matter how it changes, it is just the transmission, change, increase, or weakening of power. It is not complicated.

The concept of power has many possible directions of development. For example, the power of destruction is power, the power of Asura is power, and the world's operation depends entirely on power. If all else fails, you can be forcibly pulled down for a pure contest of strength.

If the sea god can become a god-king, as long as his understanding and exploration of concepts are deep enough, reaching or approaching the level of a dragon god, he can say: the starry sea is also a sea, and the cosmic sea is also a sea.

Getting back to the main point, Tang Shan has mastered the laws of power, distorted the rules, and grasped the concepts, so his chances of becoming a God King are very high, even slightly higher than Rong Nianbing's. This is why the God of Destruction is so excited.

As a renowned workaholic in the divine realm, the God of Destruction possesses a strong sense of ownership. How could he not be happy that a God-King might be born in the divine realm in the future?

"My interference in the affairs of the divine realm ends here. As for the successors of the gods, I will choose a new ones, and they may continue to interfere in the lower realms. You cannot stop them," the Asura God demanded.

"I can grant the first request, but not the latter." The God of Destruction refused without hesitation, his destructive power stirring again, ready to strike at the slightest provocation.

The Asura God wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and began to reason with the gods: "Destruction, look, you are a God-King, and so am I. You should know the power of a God-King. If I hadn't been unlucky today, would you have discovered my interference in the mortal realm? I've closed the Asura Blood Palace. Are you going to keep coming to my door every day? What, you don't want the Goddess of Life anymore?"

The God of Destruction fell silent. Just as the God of Asura had said, the God King's power lay not only in the distortion of concepts, but also in the vague connection between concepts and corresponding things, which the God King could use to transmit his power.

If he hadn't come to the Asura Blood Palace today, and if the palace gates hadn't been closed, he didn't know when he would have discovered the Asura God's little scheme. If he hadn't noticed, and the future Asura God had ruthlessly killed off the potential god-king, he would have nowhere to cry in his own destruction.

"Alright, I agree to your request, but the plane you interfere with cannot be Douluo Continent, and you cannot continue to influence Tangshan. Also, there must be restrictions on interfering with the lower realms; you must never cause natural or man-made disasters."

The God of Destruction listed his demands one by one. When the God of Asura heard that he could no longer interfere with Douluo, he frowned slightly, but in the end he still agreed to the God of Destruction's conditions: "Don't worry, I have already grasped the concept. This thing cannot be improved through killing and judgment. It is not a law."

The God of Destruction nodded. He was just giving a routine reminder that concepts are subjective and can only be improved through self-cultivation, not by laws. There are many unorthodox methods to improve one's abilities.

The God of Destruction did not linger in the Blood Palace of Asura. The God of Lust glanced at the water mirror in the Blood Palace of Asura with his alluring eyes, and then followed the God of Destruction away.

The Asura God exhaled a long breath and his gaze fell on the water mirror: Why does the aura of lust seem so strong on the water mirror?

However, he didn't think much of it. The concept of judgment and slaughter erupted, directly killing the persistent aura. The water mirror shone on Tang Shan and saw that he was cultivating. The Asura God also lost interest in continuing to observe. He had agreed to the conditions of the God of Destruction and would naturally keep his word. He would no longer interfere with Tang Shan in the future.

Rakshasa Demon Palace

The Rakshasa God in the black robe looked at Bibi Dong in the mirror, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: What is this inheritor doing? Why is he constantly fiddling with medicinal herbs and even incorporating his limited Rakshasa God power into them?

However, the Rakshasa God did not think much of it. With a wave of his hand, he withdrew the exclusive vision that was observing his divine successor. Before the water curtain disappeared, a special aura flashed by.

Huh? That bastard angel's successor seems a bit off. Rakshasa God thought he'd found something amusing, so he reopened the "observation window," but found nothing.

She was not a God-King after all. Being in the God Realm without a central hub, it was impossible for her to freely observe lower planes. After waiting carefully for a long time without any results, the Rakshasa God, who was about to close the "observation window" again, witnessed a scene that shattered her worldview: No, Rakshasa God power, you use it like this? And you can tolerate this!

……

After returning to their room, Tang Shan, Gu Yue, and Dugu Yan had just sat down when there was a knock on the door.

With a casual glance, Tang Shan recognized the newcomer. He stood up and looked at Dugu Yan: "Yan Yan, your grandfather is here."

"Grandpa?" Dugu Yan asked, puzzled. At that moment, Tang Shan opened the door, and outside stood Dugu Bo, dressed in a gray robe and with dark green hair.

"Greetings, Senior Dugu." Tang Shan was very polite. Dugu Bo's expression was extremely complicated. He had witnessed Tang Shan's battle with Haotian Douluo firsthand. Recalling how he had overestimated himself and challenged the young man in front of him, he really didn't know what to say.

"Still calling me senior?" Dugu Bo's words made Tang Shan raise an eyebrow. He didn't stand on ceremony and simply changed the subject: "Grandpa, would you like to come in and sit down?"

Dugu Bo's lips twitched: "Forget it, kid, just call me senior, it'll sound more comfortable that way."

"Grandpa, you wanted to see me?" Dugu Yan's long emerald hair was naturally loose, her purple eyes held a hint of shyness, and her face was slightly flushed. She had heard Tang Shan's conversation with her grandfather clearly, and she understood what her grandfather meant; he obviously agreed to their relationship.

"Hmm." Dugu Bo's cold and hard expression softened instantly. Tang Shan and Gu Yue exchanged a glance and were about to follow when Dugu Bo's dark green eyes swept over them: "Kid, are you going to eavesdrop on my conversation with Yan Yan?"

Tang Shan took a few steps back as if no one else was there, without the slightest embarrassment on his face. After watching the grandfather and grandson walk away, he gently closed the door.

"Serves him right!" Gu Yue's eyes were full of mockery. She was very happy to see Tang Shan get humiliated by Dugu Bo.

Tang Shan's eyes flashed, and with a light touch of his toes, he tackled the arrogant Silver Dragon King to the ground with lightning speed. Gu Yue was about to teleport away, but Tang Shan was quick-witted and pulled her into his arms.

Her tense body relaxed in an instant, and the spatial power that had been building up dissipated unconsciously. A pool of spring water welled up in Gu Yue's eyes. She wanted to break free, but her body just wouldn't obey her.

Whether it's the body that's not obeying its commands, or the body's owner's deep-seated unwillingness to leave, only the person themselves probably knows.

"Let me see if your lips are as cold as your words." Tang Shan lifted the girl's chin, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Gu Yue subconsciously turned her head away, not daring to meet someone's burning gaze. Her ears turned red, her breathing quickened involuntarily, and her breasts became more and more prominent.

He somewhat domineeringly turned Gu Yue's perfect face around, scrutinizing it closely, then lowered his head to kiss it gently, with utmost tenderness. Soon, the Silver Dragon King was completely captivated, letting him do as he pleased.

After a long while, their lips parted, and Gu Yue reluctantly pushed Tang Shan away, but the force in her hand had a hint of wanting to refuse but also welcoming.

With a heavy heart, she forcefully overturned Tang Shan, then sat on him, the watery light in her bright silver eyes not yet completely dissipated.

"You should have been able to kill Tang Hao, so why did you hold back at the end? This is not in line with your usual behavior."
