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

A transparent figure shot out and crashed directly into Xiao Wu's body next to Ning Rongrong. The previously empty and confused black eyes quickly regained their brilliance, and within them, a fierce rage burned.

With teleportation and invincible golden body, Xiao Wu stood in front of Yu Tianheng the moment the Blue Silver Overlord Spear left his hand.

when!

The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing filled the surroundings, and even the Blue Silver Overlord Spear could only bow its head in the face of the invincible golden body's unbreakable defense.

However, everyone present had no interest in the outcome of the clash between the two soul skills. Tang San and Yu Tianheng had extremely similar expressions, their bodies trembling as they looked at the person in front of them.

"Third Brother, what are you doing?" Before everyone could recover from the shock of Xiao Wu's resurrection, Xiao Wu's question left Tang San speechless.

"Xiao Wu, I..." Tang San wanted to explain, but the words just wouldn't come out.

"Xiao Wu said that her heart will always be with Third Brother. Why don't you believe Xiao Wu? Brother Yu and I really have nothing between us."

Xiao Wu's brows were filled with desolation. Looking at Tang San, her eyes instantly reddened, and she looked like she was about to cry.

"Xiao Wu, I was wrong, it was my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you. I just... loved you too much!" Tang San had already withdrawn his martial spirit at some point, and he slumped to the ground, sobbing involuntarily.

"Alright, alright, now that things have been discussed, everyone should take a break. In a few days, we'll be facing the divine test again." Seeing that the three parties had lost their aggressiveness, Dai Mubai quickly stepped in to smooth things over, and then winked at Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun.

The three understood each other and stepped forward, subtly separating the three parties.

The night was as dark as ink, with a full moon hanging in the sky, casting a few rays of its afterglow. A bonfire burned in the deep of night, and the Shrek Seven Devils, rarely gathered together, sat around the fire.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Yu Tianheng, Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes, put on a smile, and asked Xiao Wu, who was wearing her clothes, with a hint of curiosity, "Xiao Wu, are you considered resurrected now?"

Completely unaware of what her best friend had done while she was inside the spirit ring, Xiao Wu answered Ning Rongrong's question without any suspicion: "Nothing. I'm only half-resurrected right now. Moving into a body consumes soul power, and once my soul power is depleted to a certain extent, I have to return to the 100,000-year spirit ring to recover. Third Brother's divine trial reward was to give the spirit ring the function of restoring soul power, and I only regained my ability to perceive the outside world after my soul power was restored."

P.S.: Sorry, I was looking for materials for my new book yesterday, plus I had some other things to take care of.

Chapter 570 In the Still of the Night

"I see." Ning Rongrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Xiao Wu was unaware of her little tricks, there wasn't much of a problem.

As for the idea that Xiao Wu was scheming and that Ning Rongrong was planning to catch her in the act, Ning Rongrong hadn't considered that at all, since Xiao Wu didn't have such deep thoughts.

"What's next?" Just then, Tang San, who had been keeping his head down, spoke in a low voice. Even though his words were unclear, everyone understood what he meant.

"Third Brother, you still need to understand Xiao Wu. She just has a good relationship with Brother Tianheng, nothing could possibly happen between them." Before Xiao Wu could speak, Ning Rongrong had already made her position clear, and there was no need for further explanation.

Seeing her best friend helping her so much, Xiao Wu was touched, but her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked at Tang San with a hint of dissatisfaction. "Third Brother, let's leave it at that. Don't bring it up again. My body is only temporarily with Brother Yu, but my soul and heart are with you."

Tang San remained silent, whether out of resentment or acceptance, and made no further move after that.

Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance, their expressions subtle: How to put it, Xiao Wu's words seemed to make sense, but something also seemed off.

Yu Tianheng stood up and walked to Tang San's side, solemnly patting him on the shoulder. "Tang San, don't overthink it. No matter what the future holds, I won't do anything reckless before I get Xiao Wu's consent." Taking a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, Yu Tianheng's voice was calm and firm. "Things have come to this point, and there's nothing to hide anymore. I'm sure everyone can see that I do love Xiao Wu. But Tang San, I assure you, I will never overstep any boundaries before Xiao Wu makes her final choice. This is the bare minimum of respect."

"Okay, Brother Yu, I believe you!" Tang San suddenly opened his eyes and met Yu Tianheng's gaze. His eyes were bloodshot, but his pounding heart finally calmed down.

Tang San believed in Yu Tianheng, and he also believed in Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu had said that she loved herself the most, so the final outcome would not change.

……

It was late at night, the campfire had gone out, and the Shrek Seven Devils returned to their respective wooden huts to rest.

Tang San lay on his back in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. His mind was filled with the unspeakable scene of Yu Tianheng embracing his beloved Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu, now back in her spirit ring, began to ponder her experiences after this brief resurrection. After a long while, her soul sighed softly: "My attitude towards Third Brother was indeed a bit poor; it was my fault. I really should end things with Brother Yu. From now on, I should stay with Third Brother. Later, after Third Brother falls asleep, I'll go find Brother Yu and say goodbye, as if to conclude our special relationship over the years."

At some point, Tang San's breathing became even, but his brows furrowed involuntarily, as if he were having a nightmare.

A transparent figure floated out from his body, tall and slender, with that signature scorpion tail braid—wasn't that Xiao Wu's soul form?

Xiao Wu's soul noticed Tang San's furrowed brows and a hint of worry in her eyes, but after hesitating for a moment, she still floated out of Tang San's room.

Xiao Wu has decided to settle things with Yu Tianheng today; if she delays any longer, she fears she won't be able to let go.

Upon finding Yu Tianheng's room, Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment before not going inside. Instead, she curiously extended her spiritual power to see if Yu Tianheng had used her body for any bad purposes.

Whether it was relief or disappointment, Yu Tianheng seemed very well-behaved, with only one hand on his waist and no other small movements.

Xiao Wu's soul blinked, and without further hesitation, she entered the room and merged with her body.

With her soul residing in her body, Xiao Wu was essentially resurrected in a short time. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yu Tianheng's sleeping face.

She moved slightly, startling Yu Tianheng awake. "Brother Yu..." Before she could finish speaking, Yu Tianheng's domineering kiss pressed down on her.

Xiao Wu feigned reluctance, struggled briefly, and then simply let the other party do as they pleased.

……

I'll test the waters late at night. I have leverage over Tang San, so I'm sure he won't turn on me on the spot. I'll see how Xiao Wu is doing.

Ning Rongrong pondered for a moment, then silently pushed open her door and moved lightly through the several wooden houses.

Xiao Wu's recovery was not what she wanted to see, since with Xiao Wu around, it was virtually impossible for him to defeat Tang San.

Today is Xiaowu's first day of resurrection, and her friendship with her best friend is at its peak. It's a good time to see if Xiaowu is wary of her.

Thoughts raced through her mind as Ning Rongrong, on her way to Tang San's room, suddenly stopped. She noticed strange noises coming from Yu Tianheng's room beside her. A bold idea flashed into her mind: Could it be...?

Driven by this startling conjecture, Ning Rongrong moved step by step to Yu Tianheng's door, gently opening it to reveal a small crack.

With Yu Tianheng's formidable cultivation, he should have been able to detect the spy at the door. However, his attention was completely diverted at this moment, and his perception was greatly reduced. He was completely unaware of Ning Rongrong outside the door.

Ning Rongrong is now considered a high-level Soul Master. Even in the dimly lit room, she could see everything clearly: their clothes were all off... wait, Xiao Wu seems to be cooperating, meaning she's in a state of temporary resurrection, with a soul within her, not just Yu Tianheng's unilateral action. Keep developing, keep developing! As long as you're together, Tang San is mine.

Just as they were about to succeed, Xiao Wu bit her lower lip, briefly regaining her senses, and forcefully pushed Yu Tianheng away, saying, "Brother Yu, we can't do it."

Yu Tianheng, who had been pushed away by Xiao Wu, wanted to say something, but when he saw the blood dripping onto the bed sheet from the girl's bitten lip, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself." He lowered his head in a disheveled state, noticing his embarrassing physical reaction. He gritted his teeth, took out a dagger from the storage soul tool on his wrist, and slashed fiercely at his lower body.

"Brother Yu, no!" Xiao Wu cried out softly, her hand moving like lightning, her fair hand grasping Yu Tianheng's wrist.

"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry, but let go and let me cut this menace off!" Yu Tianheng's voice was deep.

Xiao Wu showed no intention of letting go. Looking at her own delicate hands, she hesitated for a moment, "Brother Yu, how about I help you?"

……

Ning Rongrong sighed silently with regret, but then she noticed the blood dripping from Xiao Wu's mouth onto the bedsheet and Xiao Wu's current actions. Her eyes lit up and she had a new idea.

Quietly leaving Yu Tianheng's door, Ning Rongrong quickened her pace and walked to Tang San's wooden house. Sensing the stable aura inside, she hesitated for a moment, then quickly knocked on the door before hurrying back to her own room.

Chapter 571 Misunderstanding or not and the role of battle armor

Startled awake from a nightmare, Tang San instinctively looked towards the door; he thought he had heard someone knocking. But after listening intently for a moment, he couldn't hear anything at all.

As his chaotic consciousness gradually returned, Tang San wearily rubbed his temples, got out of bed, and decided to go outside for a stroll.

Pushing open the door, a gust of cold air rushed into my collar, instantly invigorating me and clearing my mind.

The soft sounds carried by the sea breeze reached his ears. Although they were somewhat distorted, the familiar voice still made Tang San involuntarily furrow his brows.

Intending to listen attentively, the rising and falling waves shattered the enchanting sounds.

After pacing anxiously for a moment, Tang San sighed, as if encouraging himself, and followed the sound.

Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes saw through Tang San's actions. A smile appeared on her lips as she silently murmured to herself, "Xiao Wu, Tang San is mine from now on."

Tang San focused his soul power on the soles of his feet, trying his best to move without making a sound. He didn't know why he was doing this; it seemed to be driven by a subconscious instinct.

The voice grew clearer, and the broken vocal cords gradually formed fragmented words, turning into fine needles that pierced Tang San's ears and his heart.

Tang San's pace slowed down at some point, and he wondered if he was still dreaming, otherwise why would everything that could happen in the voice be so similar to his nightmare?

The familiar voice reached his ears, and Tang San was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Didn't Brother Yu say he would respect Xiao Wu? Why? No, Xiao Wu can speak, which means she's acting voluntarily and hasn't resisted. Yes, he won't force her, but if Xiao Wu is proactive, how could Brother Yu refuse?

I was so stupid, really—I only knew that Brother Yu was an upright person and wouldn't take advantage of someone in distress, but I overlooked the possibility that the two of them were already in love.

His fist clenched unconsciously, his nails dug into his flesh without him noticing, and drops of blood dripped from his hand, leaving bloodstains.

Am I overthinking this? Maybe they're just sparring. Brother Yu's attacks are so fierce that Xiao Wu can't defend herself.

Having fabricated a flimsy excuse, Tang San slowly approached Yu Tianheng's room, his legs heavy with effort. He refused to believe, and was unwilling to accept, that Xiao Wu would betray him, unless he saw it with his own eyes.

With a low, angry roar, Tang San's face turned from blue to purple as he slowly moved to the wooden door.

As he approached the doorway, everything that came into view shattered his last illusions.

The filth and blood have already said it all.

"Brother Yu, this is the last time. Let's be friends from now on," Xiao Wu said softly.

Oh no, Xiaowu will be back in a little while. What if she finds I'm not in the room...?

Overwhelmed with a myriad of emotions, Tang San, unsure of how to handle the situation, instinctively chose to escape. He tiptoed back to his room, channeling his soul power into his feet to ensure he left no footprints.

My vision had become blurry without me noticing, and two lines of tears slid down my cheeks without my awareness.

He mechanically opened the door, mechanically lay down on the bed, and then everything went black before his eyes; he fell into a deep sleep.

Wiping away the blood from her bitten lip, Xiao Wu's tense nerves finally relaxed: This shouldn't be considered betrayal, right?

Exhausted, Xiao Wu managed to wash herself quickly with some water. She then lingered with Yu Tianheng for a while before her soul left her body and flew out of Yu Tianheng's room.

The night was as dark as ink, enveloping the beach. Xiao Wu didn't notice the thin blood trail connecting Tang San and Yu Tianheng's rooms. She looked around nervously for a moment, then slipped into Tang San's room and re-integrated into her soul ring.

The sea breeze blew, and the sand and dust swirled up, completely erasing the traces left by Tang San's spying, as if nothing had ever happened.

Did it really never happen? Perhaps the seeds of hidden dangers have already been sown, waiting for the right moment to erupt.

……

Tang Shan was naturally unaware that, under his butterfly effect, many things had changed, and the Sea God, who had originally achieved both love and power, had embarked on a path he had never anticipated.

"How much have you comprehended about the rules of power now?" Gu Yue blinked her big, bright silver eyes and asked Tang Shan curiously.

"I have already comprehended 20%, and the increase in my physique, soul power, and mental power has all reached the limits of the mortal realm. It is much greater than I expected. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to fully comprehend the rules of power in about five years."

"So, Tang Shan, you can directly become a first-level god?" Golden Crocodile Douluo had learned a lot about the cultivation of the god stage during this time, and he was somewhat shocked after hearing Tang Shan's words.

Tang Shan smiled and nodded: "That's right. The main reason is that the boost brought by the nine million-year soul rings is too great. In addition, with the perfect mastery of the basic substances of my body, my understanding of the power rules is not as simple as eating and drinking, but it is not much different."

"What is your purpose in forging battle armor? Hasn't the complete set of artificial soul bones I gathered for you already condensed into a suit of armor? It can become your future divine armor, and its effect should be better than battle armor." Gu Yue continued to ask, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity.

Although his own realm was higher than Tang Shan's, Gu Yue knew that he was far inferior to Tang Shan in his thinking about cultivation.

"The Soul Bone Armor is connected to my body, and it is indeed the best foundation for future divine equipment. Moreover, the effect of increasing with cultivation level is truly rare."

"I created this battle armor not for wearing, but so that it could grow stronger along with my cultivation, just like the Soul Bone Armor and even the future divine armor. As for the battle armor's function, it's to enhance the five souls, which are closely related to my understanding of the rules. Isn't it the best weapon prototype?"

Gu Yue suddenly realized: "You want to use it as a divine weapon. That's right, you have a self-created soul skill that can condense into a giant axe. The condensation of the giant axe requires the fusion of blood, soul power and spiritual power."
