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

Zhu Zhuyun bit her lip, feeling somewhat discouraged as she saw that Tang Shan remained unmoved by her advances. However, to avoid alerting her teacher, she obediently pushed open the door and left. Her biggest advantage now was her hidden presence; her teacher was unaware of her ulterior motives. If an opportunity arose, she might just succeed.

Tang Shan was completely unaware that he was surrounded by wolves. After seeing the two women off, he began practicing internal martial arts. He broke through the Vajra Indestructible Realm and fully integrated his subconscious, further increasing the speed of potential development. Every day, his physical fitness improved rapidly, and his skin, flesh, tendons, and bones underwent constant transformation. Every week, Tang Shan would experience a complete metamorphosis.

Chapter 496 Hell's Killing Field!

The arena floor was predominantly dark brown with specks of dark red, and the strong smell of blood lingered in the air, a testament to the countless bloody battles that had taken place there.

There were ten people on the stage, of varying heights and builds, but the most eye-catching was a handsome young man in the center, with eyes like cold stars and a deep-seated indifference between his brows and eyes.

His upper body was bare, and his strong, muscular body rose and fell rhythmically with his breathing. A pair of black trousers made him look even more capable and agile, and an invisible aura permeated his body.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Tang Shan is now participating in his seventy-second Hell Slaughter Arena. With his strength, it is not difficult for him to accumulate one hundred matches. The real difficulty is finding a suitable opponent.

"Take care of him first, then we'll fight?" the young man, wielding a small knife, said in a deep voice, his sharp eyes scanning Tang Shan's entire body, searching for his weaknesses.

"Alright, I'd really like to see what kind of skills this guy has acquired the title of 'Madman' in just six months." The short, fat, and burly man grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp triangular teeth, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust. The short, fat, and burly man's short axe gleamed with a chilling light.

"It's a pity that such a handsome and muscular man can't be properly appreciated." His skin was wrinkled, his figure seemed to blend into the dim surroundings, his voice was alluring and husky, and every move he made was full of charm.

The three who spoke were from Myeongdong, the inner city of the Slaughter City. Each of them possessed strange abilities and had achieved a seventy-game winning streak.

Those who achieve a 70-game winning streak in the Hell Slaughter Arena of the Slaughter City can basically dominate a region. They no longer need to worry about life, death, or livelihood. They only need to be careful in ordinary times, and their lives are even more luxurious than those of the nobles in the Douluo Continent.

"Stop talking nonsense, he's like a clown. Let's hurry up and send this kid on his way." The young man with the martial soul of a dagger said casually. Halfway through his sentence, his dagger was already outstretched. There was no abruptness of a sneak attack, and the rhythm of his speech did not change at all. It was natural, as if it was the right thing to do.

That's what makes him terrifying—no murderous intent revealed, only effortless ease. A true assassin never wears a cold expression; instead, they transform into an ordinary person, delivering a fatal blow when you least expect it.

The blade sliced ​​through the air without making a sound; soul power gathered at the blade, causing it to vibrate rapidly.

This is a self-created soul skill that the young man with the knife developed in the City of Slaughter. He uses soul power to make his martial soul vibrate rapidly. As long as someone is stabbed by his martial soul, what is left is not a wound, but a huge blood hole. Even if it is just a slight scratch, the rapid vibration characteristic can instantly enlarge the wound.

"That makes sense!" The short, stout man stomped his foot on the ground, his round body bursting with speed that was completely out of proportion to his size. He swung his short-handled axe out, trying to split Tangshan in two.

Whoosh whoosh!

The alluring woman didn't speak, but her figure completely disappeared from sight and mental perception. A series of whooshing sounds rang out, heading straight for all of Tang Shan's vital points.

The other six contestants in the killing arena no longer hesitated. Some released their martial spirits, while others drew their weapons and rushed straight towards Tang Shan, a chilling killing intent enveloping him.

Hu Liena held a Bloody Mary in her hand, sipping it slowly, sitting in the audience, looking at Tangshan in the arena, her eyes filled with indifference.

"Why does her aura seem a bit off?" On the stands not far away, Zhu Zhuyun didn't even look at Tang Shan in the arena. With her teacher's strength, this death match wouldn't have any other outcome.

She frowned, looking at Hu Liena who was "drinking" alone, and asked Qian Renxue beside her with some doubt.

"I'm not sure either, but there's definitely something off about her aura." Qian Renxue crossed her arms in front of her chest, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Qian Renxue didn't particularly like or dislike Hu Liena. She and Bibi Dong had long since lost any affection for each other, and she didn't care whether Bibi Dong bestowed the maternal love that should have been hers upon Hu Liena. But since Hu Liena was, after all, a member of the Spirit Hall and capable of forming a Spirit Fusion Technique with Xie Yue, it was best to avoid any unforeseen events.

"Tang Shan?" Tang San's eyes flashed coldly as he looked at Tang Shan in the Hell Slaughter Arena. He wanted to kill him here, but when he thought of the other party's terrifying strength, he finally gave up the idea.

Tang Shan was naturally unaware of the various thoughts of the few people in the audience; at this moment, his attention was entirely focused on this deadly battle.

His blood and qi instantly accelerated, his bodily functions were pushed to the limit, and dramatic changes occurred in his body.

Click!

His bones cracked, his body grew taller and taller, his muscles bulged as if inflated, and a tremendous force surged within him.

The dark blue veins formed a large net, binding the blood and qi, as if from a furnace, and the terrifying power within the body.

His body swelled up as if cast in bronze and iron, standing tall on the arena like a giant in the world.

This is the origin of Tangshan's nickname "Madman," referring to his brutal and violent fighting style and his body's transformations like a demon.

Despite his imposing stature, Tang Shan remained remarkably agile. He twisted his waist to dodge the rapidly vibrating blade, then slammed his legs into the ground, propelling his body several meters into the air.

His arms, as thick as thighs, suddenly came together, palms clasped together to form fists, his body bent into an arc, and then crashed down!

The moment Tang Shan leaped into the air, his quick-thinking opponent had already retreated swiftly, but one person was still too slow and failed to dodge the fist that came crashing down from the sky.

Pfft!

The man's body was split in two. Tangshan's fist hammer slammed into the ground, directly smashing the midline of the body, including the head, into a jumbled mess, with blood splattering everywhere.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The alluring woman, who was invisible, broke the conventions of agile attacks and launched a continuous barrage of attacks on Tang Shan's entire body, relying on the innate abilities of her martial soul.

hum!

The knife flew from his hand, trembling rapidly, and stabbed straight at Tang Shan, while the short-handled axe drew a perfect arc and slashed towards Tang Shan's chest.

As expected of a powerhouse capable of achieving a seventy-game winning streak in the Hell Slaughter Arena, they showed no fear in the face of Tang Shan's brutal and terrifying battle scene, and launched a counterattack the moment Tang Shan landed.

boom!

With a stomp of his foot, he twisted his body and then suddenly swung out, his thigh becoming a blur as he kicked straight at the incoming axe.

As he turned, he casually gripped the hilt of the vibrating knife, and with a flick of his wrist, countless blades burst forth, each precisely meeting the invisible woman's attack.

In a very short time, Tang Shan successfully broke the encirclement and, with a casual flick of his free right hand, sent a contestant who had come looking for trouble flying.

boom!

The axe was raised, and the axe light completely disappeared when it was a foot away from Tang Shan's chest. Although the young man holding the knife released his martial spirit in time, Tang Shan also temporarily neutralized the attack from the invisible woman.

"Don't hold back, or we'll all die here!" The young man appeared close to Tang Shan without warning, his dagger extended without a trace of murderous intent.

"Die!" The short, stout man suddenly spun around, gathering all his soul power into his short-handled axe, and then hurled it.

Whoohoo!

The giant axe spun rapidly, its form blurring and disappearing in the blink of an eye. A gray disc, nearly two meters in diameter, flew towards Tangshan with unstoppable momentum.

"Kill!" A chilling light flashed, and the snake woman, who had been hiding, reappeared. She clenched her fingers into the shape of a snake's mouth and focused her soul power to the extreme towards Tang Shan's chest.

"Interesting!" Tang Shan, who had been strolling leisurely, suddenly showed some interest. With a swift, sweeping motion, he dodged the knife attack and sent the knife-wielding youth flying.

Tang Shan never took this kind of sneak attack by concealing one's aura seriously. No matter how much he tried to hide it, it was as easy for him to sense danger as reading the lines on the palm of his hand.

A powerful force surged directly into the young man wielding the knife, brutally destroying his internal organs and even snapping his spine in half.

call!

Tang Shan exhaled all the stale air from his chest, causing his chest to slightly cave in. The alluring woman's attack narrowly missed his chest.

Tang Shan leaned back, and the gray disc formed by the rapidly spinning axe flew past his eyes. With a soft "whoosh," the upper body of the alluring woman exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

thump!

The knife-wielding youth crashed to the ground, his body completely lifeless. Crimson blood splattered onto the arena, adding a vibrant splash to the otherwise dark brown ring.

At this point, apart from the other five henchmen who were just background figures, the only one left on the entire stage who could withstand even a single move from Tang Shan was the short, fat man.

"Again!" the short, stout man roared, his eyes bloodshot, looking like a madman. The gray disc vanished into thin air, and the great axe re-formed in his hand, spinning on the spot before being flung out again.

"Is that all?" Tang Shan was somewhat disappointed. He looked at the gray disc that was slashing straight at him, took a simple step to dodge it, and even guided the disc to take care of the other five contestants.

Throwing it out again and again, retrieving it again and again, perhaps due to drinking too much Bloody Mary, coupled with the immense pressure from Tangshan, the short, fat man completely lost his mind, only relentlessly unleashing his martial spirit.

"It's time to end this." A cold voice rang in the short, stout man's ears. Blood, soul power, and spiritual power converged in Tang Shan's hand, and a phantom giant axe instantly materialized.

Clang!

The axe came crashing down, and even though the short, stout man managed to raise the blade to block, it was shattered by the illusory giant axe that Tang Shan had conjured. The giant axe continued its momentum and struck the arena.

A line of blood appeared above the short, stout man's head and hung down to his feet. His blood-red eyes regained their clarity, but they were devoid of any spirit.

thump!

As his massive body crashed down, Tang Shan turned around without giving his opponent a second glance. The illusory giant axe in his hand naturally disintegrated. He walked off the stage unhurriedly, blood dripping from his body, adding to his eerie appearance.

As he approached the exit, his body shrank rapidly, his bulging muscles and prominent veins disappearing, leaving only his lean and muscular frame.

Chapter 497 Awareness and Avoidance of the Bug

"Teacher, here are your clothes." As they walked out of the hellish killing field, Zhu Zhuyun took the initiative to greet him and draped Tang Shan's shirt over his shoulders.

Qian Renxue stood to the side with her arms crossed, looking Tang Shan up and down, her lips pursed.

"Let's go back and rest for a while." Tang Shan straightened his clothes and calmly swept his gaze over the dark corners. The various eyes in the shadows shrank back in fear; they didn't want to provoke this menacing star.

Six months have passed, and no one will underestimate the three from Tangshan anymore. The mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the hellish killing field have forged their reputation.

Qian Renxue is known as the Angel of Death because of her Angelic Martial Soul, while Zhu Zhuyun is mysterious and unpredictable, hence she is called the Shadow Walker.

"Teacher, the speed at which we accumulate wins is getting slower and slower. Who knows how long it will take to reach 100 wins?" Zhu Zhuyun quickened her pace and walked to Tang Shan's side, somewhat helplessly.

"There's nothing we can do about it. As time goes on, there will only be fewer and fewer suitable opponents to match with," Tang Shan said unhurriedly, his tone casual.

"Should I manipulate some people to force them to register?" Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed slightly as she had an idea. With her control over fallen soul masters, she could easily order them to commit suicide, let alone order them to register.

"No rush, let's see how things develop. If we can get out in a year, then let nature take its course. Although the High Priest has already helped us deter the King of Slaughter, just in case, we should try not to provoke him."

Qian Renxue nodded, tacitly agreeing to Tang Shan's suggestion. Her bright eyes swept over the fallen people coming and going, her gaze becoming increasingly profound.

Back in the second-floor attic, before entering, Qian Renxue called out to Tang Shan, "Wait a minute."

Zhu Zhuyun stopped reflexively, but only for a moment before heading back to her room, though her pace slowed and her ears perked up.

"Your Highness, do you need something from me?" Tang Shan asked, somewhat puzzled. In the past six months, Qian Renxue's attitude towards him had been out in the open, but she hadn't taken any drastic actions, which made him secretly relieved.

"You've broken through to level 80 for a while now, haven't you? Here's a divinely bestowed soul ring. Use it to break through." Qian Renxue flipped her hand, and a bead with a faint golden halo appeared in her palm.

Qian Renxue had already completed the first test of the Angel and Rakshasa. The color of her spirit rings had changed from one yellow, one purple and five black to two purple and five black. She obtained her seventh spirit ring with the help of the divine spirit ring as a reward.

She received two divinely bestowed soul rings from the two first-place exams. Although she received feedback from her subordinate evil soul masters' hunting and training, as well as the bonus from purifying evil soul masters, she still had a long way to go before becoming a Soul Douluo.

Qian Renxue felt that instead of keeping it, she should give it to Tang Shan to increase his strength, since Angel Rakshasa would receive a divine soul ring in the second trial anyway.

"A divinely bestowed soul ring?" Tang Shan was somewhat surprised. He picked up the golden bead and examined it carefully. In the end, he shook his head and prepared to return it to Qian Renxue: "I haven't found a suitable soul skill yet, so I don't need it for the time being."

"Use it whenever you need it." Qian Renxue pressed down on Tang Shan's outstretched hand with her jade-like hand, her eyes exceptionally firm.

Looking at the girl's unyielding gaze, Tang Shan sighed inwardly and finally put away the divinely bestowed soul ring.

"Don't worry, I still have the divinely bestowed soul rings. Let's go." Qian Renxue's eyebrows curved slightly, clearly very satisfied. She waved her hand and walked directly into her room.

After watching Qian Renxue disappear from sight, Tang Shan returned to his room, paused for a moment, then cleared his mind of distractions and began to comprehend the rules of power.

The rules of power don't necessarily have to be within a spirit ring to comprehend them. However, without the reference of a spirit ring, and coupled with the inability to use multi-threaded thinking spirit skills, the speed of progress is much slower than when one is not in the City of Slaughter.

hum!

Profound fluctuations of rules appeared before Tang Shan. His will, along with his mental power, probed into the man-made distortion of rules before him. Familiar rule changes surfaced in his mind. Tang Shan calmed down and quietly deduced the possible evolution of the power rules.

His goal is to acquire a perception-type power rule soul skill, thereby combining the ultimate power characteristic of confronting all laws. His future goal is to see everything, touch everything, and shatter everything!
