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

"What a blockhead," Qian Renxue muttered under her breath. She really doubted that even if the dragon and the snake met with an accident, he wouldn't harbor any evil thoughts towards them.

……

Time flowed silently, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Today, Tang Shan was going to participate in the Hell Slaughter Field, but Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuyun did not go with him.

Although this puzzled Tang Shan a little, he didn't think much of it and continued on his way to his destination.

Stomp your foot, then throw a punch!

The thick arm struck the burly man's jaw, sending him flying into the air, his teeth flying everywhere, until he crashed to the ground lifeless.

The deafening shouts were like a tidal wave. The residents of the Killing City watched this bloody battle, where life and death were at stake, with people jumping and dancing on the stands. Some even went so far as to self-harm or kill each other.

Tang Shan glanced at the somewhat frenzied scene with disgust, turned and left the arena. As he walked towards the pavilion, a sense of unease inexplicably rose in his heart.

Splash!

With its jet-black wings unfurled, its exquisite form soared into the air and flew into the distance.

Tang Shan's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly: Why didn't Zhu Yun go out with His Highness? Could it be that His Highness went to find Hu Liena?

The ominous premonition grew stronger, and Tang Shan instinctively quickened his pace.

Upon entering the attic, a vast spiritual force instantly spread out, directly scanning Zhu Zhuyun, who was meditating cross-legged on the second floor.

It seems I was overthinking things. Tang Shan breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression changed slightly the next moment.

Zhu Zhuyun, who was cultivating normally, suddenly became unstable, with dark red flames appearing and disappearing, and an unnatural flush appearing on her fair skin.

"This is an outbreak of evil energy. Wasn't it just suppressed a few days ago?" Although he felt that something was wrong, Tang Shan didn't have time to think about it and acted immediately.

The power surged through him, and with a sudden stomp, he leaped to the level separating the first and second floors.

Turning around and leaping again, Tang Shan landed on the second floor with his toes touching the ground. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Zhu Zhuyun's door.

With a swift push, the force flowed like water, forcefully breaking the doorknob without causing the slightest damage to the door.

The door opened silently, and Zhu Zhuyun's body trembled slightly as she came into view. Her breath surged rapidly. As she sensed the familiar presence approaching, her consciousness, in accordance with her instincts, collapsed, unable to hold on any longer.

"Teacher!" With a soft call that sounded like a coquettish whisper, Zhu Zhuyun jumped up and threw herself into Tang Shan's arms, wrapping her limbs around him like an octopus.

"Zhu Yun, you..." Tang Shan hadn't finished speaking when his mouth was sealed by Zhu Zhu Yun's pink lips. The mischievous Ding Xiang still wanted to go straight for the kill.

With his exquisite control over his body, Tang Shan finally managed to break free from Zhu Zhuyun's entanglement. Ignoring her sudden offense, he channeled his powerful soul energy directly into her meridians.

Boiling over, restless!

This was Tang Shan's first sensation after his soul power surged into Zhu Zhuyun's meridians. His soul power boiled and burned, scorching her body. Her meridians were burned and began to gradually shrink.

"This is purified evil energy!" Tang Shan noticed the problem immediately and couldn't help but curse. When his soul power came into contact with Zhu Zhuyun's restless soul power, the latter seemed to have sensed some kind of delicacy and pounced on him.

Tangshan's soul power was absorbed, but it was tempered and became even purer. The latter's agitation was calmed for a very short time before it surged again!

Supporting Zhu Zhuyun's back with one hand and her knees with the other, Tang Shan burst out of the room, took a few steps out of the attic, and used his soul power to lift his body into the air. For the first time, he fully released the spiritual power in his mind that had reached the Spirit Realm.

What does the spiritual domain realm spiritual power mean? It means that as long as the soul power is sufficient, one can completely condense a soul core with it. It means that a newly broken Limit Douluo is moving towards becoming a quasi-demigod. It means that a spiritual domain unique to a soul master will naturally be born.

hum!

A vast ocean of spiritual power spread outwards from Tang San's body. This time, the spiritual pressure was not restrained at all. Tang San's goal was simple: to find Qian Renxue.

Chapter 505 Coping and Choices

The pressure of the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm was immense. Centered on Tang Shan's body, a large number of Fallen Ones turned pale, and some of the madmen even regained a sliver of reason, looking up at the sky in terror.

The domineering spiritual power was fully released, causing the world to lose its color. The surging primordial energy of heaven and earth was affected and actively gathered around Tang Shan's spiritual power.

Strands of soul power flowed into Zhu Zhuyun's meridians, the two merging and becoming increasingly refined while the other returned to tranquility. However, this was only a temporary solution. Once Tang Shan stopped infusing the soul power, Zhu Zhuyun's soul power would inevitably boil over again. It was necessary to find Qian Renxue and have her use her purifying power to cleanse the evil energy within Zhu Zhuyun's body.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down naturally, and Zhu Zhuyun, her consciousness hazy, gently rubbed against Tang Shan, her warm breath carrying a faint fragrance.

Turning away from Zhu Zhuyun's kiss, Tang Shan used his mental power to confirm that Qian Renxue was not in this area, and then flew directly to the remaining three areas of the inner city. His first target was the eastern part of the city where Hu Liena lived.

The eastern part of the city remains chaotic as always, with fighting and desire running rampant, and sin and evil intertwined. However, today, the usually fearless residents of the inner city have chosen silence for the first time.

A terrifying mental pressure descended from the sky, and mental energy swept over each of them and every room, leaving no detail unchecked.

Soon, Tangshan found his target, his body rapidly descending to the front of a room.

He kicked the fallen man who was lingering in front of the door to death, then poured his mental energy in and forcibly broke the doorknob. The door opened naturally, revealing an empty room.

Stepping inside, the room contained only a desk, upon which lay a piece of paper exuding a faint, sacred aura.

Tang Shan was very familiar with this sacred aura; within the entire City of Slaughter, only Qian Renxue could retain this aura.

Manipulating the paper to float before his eyes, Tang Shan scanned it quickly, his face turning completely dark.

"Tangshan, by the time you read this letter, Nana and I should have already left the inner city of the Killing Capital, or we may be hiding somewhere in the inner city. Don't come looking for us, you won't find us."

Alright, let's get back to the main topic. The evil energy within Zhu Zhuyun should have erupted by now, right? Are you wondering why the evil energy within her is so concentrated, not at all like it has been purified? Actually, it's because I've never purified the evil energy for her. I've only suppressed the evil energy born from her martial soul into her body.

As for why I did this, the reason is simple: to help her. Her feelings for you led me to this plan. Without me, the accumulated evil energy, once it erupts, will only pose a fatal threat to her. I'm curious, in this choice between life and death, what will you, as her master, choose? If you take her, then the breach will open, and I will also have my chance.”

Without any concealment, Qian Renxue frankly told Tang Shan about the cause, process, result, and even the ultimate purpose of her affair, leaving him speechless with her frankness.

grass, a plant.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Shan quickly came up with a solution. So what if it's venting? He had plenty of ways to do that. He had promised his apprentice that he would be his apprentice. Unlike some protagonists in novels who half-heartedly accept their teachings, Tang Shan was determined.

Speaking of which, why did Qian Renxue say that Zhu Yun had feelings for me? Was it true, or just an excuse to cross my bottom line? I can't possibly have raised a rebellious disciple. Thinking to himself that he had come up with a perfect plan, Tang Shan carried Zhu Zhu Yun out of the room.

His mental energy spread again, targeting the fallen women one by one, and Tang Shan suddenly fell silent.

What is this place? This is the City of Slaughter, where women who come here are more insane than men.

If he were outside, Tangshan could easily find a woman to help him complete the next steps. Whether it was water membrane technique or judo, she could easily unleash the surging dark red flames.

But this is a killing city, and the area where the spell was cast is so vulnerable that it could easily take a person's life. How could he be at ease?

Ah!

Dark red flames burned Zhu Zhuyun's meridians, causing her body temperature to rise continuously. She lost control of her consciousness, and beads of sweat kept flowing down, quickly soaking her tight-fitting clothes and making her figure appear even more exaggerated and alluring.

If all else fails...

Tang Shan sighed deeply, looking at Zhu Zhuyun who was in increasing pain, his heart filled with mixed feelings. He carried the girl back to the room and used his mental power to firmly seal off the area.

He gently placed Zhu Zhuyun on the ground, stopping the girl's entanglement. He fiercely poured his soul power into her, briefly engulfing the dark red flames within her body, while simultaneously using his spiritual power to communicate with Zhu Zhuyun's consciousness.

The spiritual power of the Spirit Realm was indeed extraordinary. Under Tang Shan's skillful control, Zhu Zhuyun regained a brief period of consciousness.

The burning sensation throughout her body, the masculine aura emanating from Tang Shan, and the outburst of her inner emotions nearly caused Zhu Zhuyun to lose her mind.

"Suppress!" A soft shout, carrying an overbearing will, temporarily suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind. A gentle voice rang in her ear, "Zhu Yun, what exactly happened?"

Her eyes regained some clarity. Looking at the papers in front of her, Zhu Zhuyun opened her mouth, but didn't know how to reply.

The disciple's silence was deafening. Zhu Zhuyun didn't speak, but Tang Shan understood what had happened—he had indeed raised a rebellious disciple who wanted to challenge his master.

"Tangshan, I love you! Please, take me!" Zhu Zhuyun, having read Tangshan's expression, gritted her teeth and confessed her feelings directly. She was determined not to miss such a good opportunity.

"Why did you have to do this?" Tang Shan sighed softly, the complex emotions in his eyes gradually subsiding as his tone returned to calm. "We'll talk about this later. First, let me help you vent your dark red flames."

Zhu Zhuyun was somewhat stunned, but Tang Shan's next move made her pupils widen instantly. "Tang Shan, you..."

Just as the moon has its phases, so too does water have its ebb and flow.

Chapter 506 The Essence and Possibilities of Soul Cores

As her hazy consciousness gradually returned, Zhu Zhuyun opened her eyes and saw a simple rooftop.

She propped herself up, her bodysuit intact. She was alone in the room. If her memory hadn't been so clear, she would have doubted whether her previous madness was just a dream.

The wooden door was pushed open silently, and Tang Shan walked in carrying water. Zhu Zhuyun subconsciously lowered her head and softly called out, "Teacher..."

Tang Shan's eyes were complicated, but there was a hint of tenderness in them that even he himself could not perceive. "You're awake. Drink some water first."

The masculine aura was so close, her heart began to race uncontrollably. Zhu Zhuyun lowered her head and sipped the water in her bowl to hide the shyness on her face.

Looking back on Tang Shan's behavior when she first entered the classroom, Zhu Zhuyun was still unsure of the teacher's attitude towards her: was it punishment, acceptance, or keeping her at a distance?

Turning to look at the handsome young man beside her, Zhu Zhuyun began, but Tang Shan interrupted her with a raised hand, saying, "Teacher, I..."

Half an hour later, Zhu Zhuyun had recovered most of her strength and hydration. The two left the east of the city and headed towards the original pavilion.

The attic is visible in the distance, and a beautiful figure can be seen sitting on the edge of the rooftop, her fair legs swinging casually, exuding a special allure under the blood-red moonlight.

"Zhu Yun, you go back first. I have something to discuss with His Highness." Tang Shan said calmly. The next moment, he had already left a trail of afterimages as he rushed towards Qian Renxue on the rooftop.

A mocking gaze fell upon her, and Zhu Zhuyun met Qian Renxue's meaningful eyes. Zhu Zhuyun nodded slightly, returned a "good luck" look, and turned to walk into the pavilion.

Tang Shan darted to the front of the pavilion without slowing down at all. He suddenly leaped several meters into the air, using his toes to slightly brace himself against the protruding part of the pavilion, and ascended to the rooftop as if he were pulling himself up from the ground.

Hey!

Footsteps clattered on the solid marble roof, and an invisible aura surged around Tangshan, as if brewing a thunderous roar.

Qian Renxue pulled her legs back from the rooftop, curled up into a ball, hugged her knees, and tilted her head, asking with some curiosity, "Why do you look so fierce and ready to devour anyone?" Her innocent little expression seemed to say that igniting evil fire and leaving letters were none of my business.

Tang Shan's eyelids twitched. He forced himself to keep a straight face and prepared to give Qian Renxue a good dressing down. However, what she did next completely stunned him.

The girl rose gracefully, her white dress accentuating her slender figure, and her long golden hair fell naturally, making her look like a goddess from heaven.

With arms outstretched, she adopted a completely unguarded stance, her clear voice filled with fearlessness: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have failed to purify the evil energy. I will definitely change. If you're angry, you can punish me however you want. I will accept and cooperate unconditionally."

Tangshan?! How can people be so shameless? He hadn't even exerted any effort, and the person had already surrendered. Is that right?

With great difficulty, Tang Shan managed to calm his somewhat shattered thoughts, but the "imposing aura" and "terrifying pressure" he had previously cultivated had long since vanished. He sighed softly, walked to the edge of the rooftop, and sat down. "Your Highness, why are you and Zhu Yun doing this to yourselves?"

Her skirt swayed gently, brushing against Tang Shan's arm. Qian Renxue sat down again, her eyes bright and clear: "Why bother? It's not bitter at all. You deserve to be so dazzling, like a great sun, radiating your unique charm without restraint."

Tang Shan felt offended: "What do you mean by radiating charm? And how can I compare to the Great Sun, Your Highness? You're exaggerating."

"Is it an exaggeration?" The girl raised her hand to brush the blonde hair in front of her ear, and a beautiful smile bloomed on her face. "It's not an exaggeration at all. I've always thought so."

Golden light surged around her as Qian Renxue turned to look at Tang Shan. "I don't know what the final outcome will be, but even if I'm like a moth drawn to a flame and end up shattered to pieces, I will have no regrets." The determination in her eyes was something Tang Shan had never seen before, and his heart, already turbulent because of Zhu Zhuyun, was stirred up again.

……

"This wine is poisoned." A calm voice rang out, interrupting Hu Liena's somewhat wandering thoughts. Composing herself, she looked up at Tang San, who was leaning against the wall, wondering what his purpose was in coming here.

"Bloody Mary contains numerous toxins. Not only will drinkers become uncontrollably dependent on it, but their will will also be gradually eroded, eventually turning them into irrational madmen." Seeing that Hu Liena seemed unmoved, Tang San pressed on, explaining the pros and cons of the Bloody Mary toxins.

"Tang San, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush." ​​Hu Liena put down her wine glass and said calmly. Of course, she knew about Bloody Mary's poison, but it was the only way she could barely maintain her rationality. The chaos of the Killing City was giving her a huge mental shock every moment.

As for the side effects of Bloody Mary, that's not a problem. Sister Xue already used her divine attribute soul power to purify it last time, and the side effects on her body have been completely eliminated. Even if the toxin causes damage again later, it can be purified again then.

Tang San frowned slightly. Hu Liena's attitude was somewhat unexpected. As for his identity being seen through, he was not surprised. After all, although his appearance had changed, the spirit he used when participating in the Hell Slaughter Arena could not be changed. With a Clear Sky Hammer and a Blue Silver Grass, anyone with a discerning eye could recognize him at a glance.
