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

Serpent Spear Douluo hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "Your Highness, it's hard to say. I suspect that this characteristic may only be possessed by the original martial soul."

Xue Qinghe remained silent for a moment, then slowly exhaled: "The original spirit is indeed worthy of being valued by the master. If the original spirit has such potential, then how many mysteries does the Blue Silver Emperor that the master mentioned hold?"

Tang Shan had no idea how much trouble his unintentional display of cultivation would cause Tang San in the future.

Whoosh!

The sound of blood and qi surging within the body grew louder and louder, like a rushing river; the rhythm of the heartbeat was steady and powerful, like the beating of a war drum, making one's eardrums tingle slightly.

At this moment, Tang Shan's body had swelled up, his skin was red and hot, and the blood vessels under his skin were clearly bulging, as if a blood-red dragon was churning and swimming inside him, about to burst out of his body at any moment.

He pushed forward slightly with his left hand, his posture resembling that of pushing a huge millstone. His movements were slow but full of weight, as if he were carrying a thousand pounds of pressure, and every inch of movement was extremely difficult.

call!

A moment later, Tang Shan abruptly stopped moving, and a long white breath slowly emerged from his mouth, condensed into a thread, and slowly dissipated in the air without breaking for a long time.

What terrifying organ function!

The two titled Douluo had incredibly sharp eyes; they almost instantly sensed the formidable inner strength hidden behind that aura, and the resilience of its internal organs far surpassed that of other Soul Masters of the same level.

As the blood and qi in his body gradually calmed down, Tangshan's complexion slowly returned to normal, and his body shrank back to its original size.

"Your Highness, my training is over. If you want to learn, with my current experience, I can easily guide you through the basics."

"Of course I want to learn, but I have some questions about internal martial arts that might involve the secrets of cultivation. Could you tell me about them?" With that, Xue Qinghe shared the conjecture that the Serpent Spear Douluo had just discovered: "Qi and blood may be able to replace soul power."

After hearing the question, Tang Shan didn't hesitate at all and directly revealed the truth: "Senior She's observation is correct. Blood and qi can indeed replace soul power to some extent, but this should only be limited to the physical martial soul. After all, the physical martial soul is part of the body. Before soul power is generated, the body's operation is maintained by blood and qi, so for the physical martial soul, blood and qi and soul power can be used interchangeably. When my cultivation of the physical martial soul advances further, I even suspect that I will be able to directly use blood and qi to activate soul rings and soul skills."

"The original martial soul is truly amazing."

Xue Qinghe didn't say anything more, and looked at Tang Shan: "Since internal martial arts are so profound, and you are willing to teach us, we won't stand on ceremony. After returning to Tiandou City, you will be provided with all the resources that are helpful for cultivation."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with Your Highness."

Tangshan did not refuse and immediately began teaching.

"Senior She, your martial spirit is a spear. First, summon your martial spirit and hold it in your hand. I will now teach you the most basic stance training method of internal martial arts, which is also the foundation for beginners. Since you have a spear martial spirit, I will teach you the Three-Body Stance, which is the most suitable."

“Senior Thorn, the stance training method I taught you is the Two Elements Stance. Your martial spirit is the porcupine, which inherently has the ability to use the opponent's force against them. In addition, given your physical characteristics, the Two Elements Stance is the most suitable for you to cultivate, maximizing your advantages.”

The two titled Douluo were able to cultivate to level ninety, their talent far exceeding that of ordinary people. Tang Shan only made slight adjustments based on their physical condition, and the two quickly grasped the core essence of the stance, their posture became more and more standard, and faint fluctuations of qi and blood gradually appeared on their bodies.

"Your Highness, which stance training method would you like to learn?" Tang Shan asked Xue Qinghe.

Seeing that his two uncles had already successfully mastered the basics, Xue Qinghe was also full of anticipation, but he was somewhat surprised when he heard the question: "Isn't there a stance training method specifically suitable for me?"

Tang Shan thought to himself, "If you really had a swan martial soul, it would be easy to find a crane stance to match. But your real martial soul is a six-winged angel, so finding a suitable stance won't be so easy."

Although he had such thoughts in his heart, he put on a serious face: "Your Highness, if you are learning Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation) only for physical fitness and not for actual combat, then you can learn any Zhan Zhuang method. But to see the effects of Zhan Zhuang, you must accumulate over time. The process of persisting is actually very tedious and hard. So Your Highness should choose a Zhan Zhuang method that you like to practice, which will make it easier to persist for a long time."

Xue Qinghe was somewhat troubled. She wasn't learning Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation) simply for physical fitness, but because she saw the enormous potential behind internal martial arts. If she couldn't find a suitable Zhan Zhuang method, her practice would be much less effective and she would find it difficult to grasp the essence.

Tang Shan was also secretly worried. Suddenly, he remembered the weapon corresponding to the Angelic Martial Soul and had an idea. He then patiently persuaded, "Your Highness, since you don't need to pursue profound cultivation for the time being, then liking it is the key motivation to persevere. I wonder if you have a favorite weapon? I can teach you the appropriate stance based on the characteristics of the weapon."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe feigned displeasure, saying, "Don't underestimate my perseverance." But a thought flashed through his mind, and he instantly remembered his Angelic Holy Sword.

She pretended to ponder for a moment, then looked at Tang Shan: "I prefer using a sword. Are there any stances centered around the sword?"

"Of course, Your Highness, I will teach you the sword-drawing stance now. The core points are..." Tang Shan immediately responded and then began to explain in detail the stance, breathing rhythm, and blood circulation of the sword-drawing stance, explaining every detail clearly and easily.

Chapter 84 Golden Crocodile Douluo is on his way, arriving at Heaven Dou City.

On the wide open space, three figures were in peculiar poses, while another figure moved among them, carefully adjusting and correcting any mistakes in their movements.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed. Xue Qinghe was the first to succumb to the terrifying consumption of qi and blood brought about by the standing meditation, and his body swayed precariously.

Tang Shan reached out his large hand and pulled her around the waist, steadily supporting her body.

A hint of unease flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes. He coughed twice and changed the subject, asking, "Why am I so tired even though I haven't been cultivating for very long?"

Tang Shan hadn't thought much about it at first. He just saw Xue Qinghe about to fall, so he casually helped her up. When he heard her question, he casually replied, "Standing meditation isn't that simple. It does have the effect of mobilizing qi and blood and strengthening the body, but this effect of mobilizing qi and blood is passive, so you don't perceive it clearly."

As your vital energy and blood are constantly depleted, you will naturally feel tired.

Tang Shan looked at the two Douluo and continued, "The two seniors have profound cultivation. Even though they have never practiced internal martial arts before, the powerful physiques nurtured by their strong soul power have given them formidable blood and qi. It is normal that they can last longer than you."

Goooo!

Xue Qinghe's stomach suddenly made a loud noise, causing a brief moment of awkwardness.

"Ahem, it's getting late, it's lunchtime, let's head back."

Tangshan took the initiative to offer a way out.

Xue Qinghe hummed in response, feigning composure on his face, but unconsciously quickened his pace, increasing the distance between himself and Tang Shan, and hurried towards the direction where the Royal Guards were stationed.

"I'll go protect the young master first. Old She, you continue practicing here."

Serpent Spear Douluo nodded and continued to maintain the Three-Body Stance, while the pufferfish Douluo's plump and round body flashed and disappeared without a trace.

……

Two streaks of light swept across the sky, rapidly approaching the distant canyon.

A moment later, the light fell in front of the canyon, revealing the figures of two old men.

The two looked almost identical, with tall and imposing figures, exuding an aura of invincibility.

These two were none other than the Sixth Elder, Thousand-Pound Douluo, and the Seventh Elder, Demon-Subduing Douluo, of the Spirit Hall.

"Brother, is the Second Elder still inside? Should we go in and look for him?"

The Demon-Slaying Douluo gazed at the thick fog before him and asked a question.

"No need. The eldest brother's orders are for us to guard the Death Canyon and prevent that beast from sneaking away. As for the Second Elder, he is only one step away from the ultimate level. That beast can't do anything to him."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dim golden light spread from the depths of the mist to the outside world, just in time to be seen by the two worshippers.

"I never imagined that such an exaggerated soul beast really existed in this world. I thought it was just a legend."

The Demon-Slaying Douluo gazed at the dim golden light deep within the mist and said with a sigh.

"Yes, with nearly ten thousand years of cultivation, it's simply outrageous that it could withstand an attack from a level ninety-eight Second Elder."

Suddenly remembering something, Demon-Slaying Douluo asked with some doubt, "Why didn't you let Xiaoxue absorb this soul beast's soul ring last year? It has nearly ten thousand years of cultivation, so this soul beast should be much better than that Light Unicorn, right?"

"Firstly, the attributes don't match. This is clearly a power-type soul beast, which has no compatibility with Xiaoxue's light, fire, and holy attributes; secondly, the absorption difficulty is too high."

As Qianjun Douluo gazed at the earth-shattering commotion faintly emanating from the depths of the Death Canyon, and the ever-brightening golden light, a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

"You should know that although our Spirit Hall has records of Spirit Masters absorbing the Spirit Rings of super Spirit Beasts like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Titan Giant Ape, several of them died from their bodies exploding due to their excessively violent Spirit Power. If absorbing those two Spirit Beasts was such a disaster, imagine what would happen if they absorbed the Spirit Ring of this beast inside?"

The Demon-Slaying Douluo fell into deep thought, and upon considering the terrifying strength of the beast inside, he could only sigh helplessly.

Roar!

A deafening roar echoed from the depths of Death Canyon, its sound resounding like thunder even as it reached the outside world.

Countless flying spirit beasts took to the air, while the land spirit beasts couldn't help but flee in panic.

"With such a commotion, it might trigger a small beast tide. Be careful."

Although Qianjun Douluo said to be careful, his expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest panic.

The Spirit Hall had already thoroughly investigated the details of the Death Canyon. Apart from the legendary spirit beast that had been sleeping since ancient times and was currently fighting against the Golden Crocodile Douluo, the highest age of the other spirit beasts was only close to 100,000 years, and they could not pose any threat to them at all.

"What if the beast tide really breaks out?"

As the Demon-Slaying Douluo gazed at the increasingly turbulent Death Canyon, his expression gradually grew solemn.

"That is indeed a problem."

Qianjun Douluo looked at the town set up by the Spirit Hall behind him and quickly made a decision.

"In that case, let's intimidate them and make them stay put."

As soon as he finished speaking, a long staff exuding an ancient aura and wrapped with a white dragon suddenly appeared in Qianjun Douluo's hand. The first six spirit rings under his feet lit up at the same time, and spirit power of up to level 96 was frantically poured into his martial soul.

"Go!"

With a flick of his wrist, the Thousand-Pound Douluo caused the Panlong Staff to swell rapidly, its size increasing dramatically. In the blink of an eye, it rose to a height of several hundred feet and its thickness reached several square meters.

A boundless, indomitable will surged forth from the long staff. The dragon that had been coiled around the staff, now resembling a giant pillar, came to life, raising its head and letting out a resounding roar. The surging dragon might spread wildly outwards from the towering pillar.

The thick fog that had shrouded Death Canyon year-round was forcibly torn open by the towering pillars, creating a huge hole that allowed brilliant sunlight to pour down and illuminate the canyon, which was usually shrouded in darkness.

Immediately afterwards, another identical giant pillar suddenly rose up, and the same dragon roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth. With the double dragon might superimposed, the deterrent power increased several times over.

Countless soul beasts fleeing towards the outer edge of the Death Canyon were brought to an abrupt halt by the terrifying dragon's might. They stared in disbelief at what they thought was their path to survival, their hearts filled with despair.

What terrible things have they done today? Two terrifying beings are locked in fierce combat behind them, and two seemingly giant dragons are blocking their path ahead. Their luck is simply unbelievable.

Left with no other choice, the surging torrent of soul beasts could only turn around and flee sideways, no longer daring to approach the only exit even a fraction of the way.

After an unknown amount of time, the enormous commotion originating from inside the Death Canyon gradually subsided, and the dazzling golden light ceased to emanate outwards.

Ten minutes later, an old man with wrinkles on his face like old tree bark emerged from the mist, humming a tune, clearly in a very good mood.

Upon seeing this, the two Douluo, Qianjun and Jiangmo, quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Second Elder."

Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced at the two people in front of him, slowly nodded, and his powerful voice entered their ears: "I have been searching inside for the past few days and finally found that guy. I just fought with it and seriously injured it. It will probably take several years to recover. Remember to keep an eye on it and don't let it get away."

"I will follow the instructions of the two masters."

Qianjun and Jiangmo Douluo responded in unison.

"Alright, that's enough. I'm going to Tiandou City to check on Xiaoxue and Tang Shan."

Golden Crocodile Douluo waved his hand, then his figure flickered and disappeared from the sight of the two Title Douluos in a few steps.

The scenery around us flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, we were already dozens of miles away.

As the Golden Crocodile Douluo hurried along, he looked down at the five shallow wounds on his left hand. A bright smile suddenly bloomed on his face, which resembled the bark of an old tree. His deep whispers dissipated into the rapidly passing scenery, unheard by anyone.

"Good heavens, what a fine beast. I wonder who will be so lucky in the future to absorb you as a soul ring."

……

A neat procession slowly entered the city gate, instantly attracting the attention of many pedestrians at the gate.

"These must be the Royal Guards, right? Who's in that carriage? They're actually getting the Royal Guards to escort them personally."

"It should be the eldest prince. You can still recognize the royal insignia on the carriage if you look closely."

As a gathering place for various forces, Tiandou City had spies everywhere at its gates. The news of Xue Qinghe's return quickly reached the desks of many faction leaders.
