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

Time passed second by second, and no one knew how much time had gone by, but Salas still showed no impatience and waited respectfully.

After a long while, the soul tool was finally activated, and an old voice came from the other side.

"I am Qianjun, this is the Hall of Worship. Salas, I remember saying that we are not allowed to use the communication soul tool to communicate directly with the Hall of Worship unless it is a real emergency."

Salas felt no displeasure or resentment at the reprimand from the aged voice opposite him, because the other party was not only a high-ranking figure in the Spirit Hall, but also a Super Douluo with a spirit power level of over 95.

Recalling the monitoring of the Crown Prince's residence over the past few years and the prince's age, Salas stated his findings without hesitation.

"Reporting to Elder Qianjun, I have received a special martial soul theory. According to the method described in it, it seems possible to achieve the second ring of a thousand years."

"Ok?"

The Thousand-Pound Douluo on the other side was clearly somewhat surprised.

Where are you now?

Upon hearing the question, Salas answered without hesitation, "I am currently in the Spirit Temple of Heaven Dou City."

"Don't move in the main hall," Qianjun Douluo instructed before abruptly hanging up the phone.

"Big brother, wait a minute."

After hanging up the phone, Qianjun Douluo saw a middle-aged man who was about to leave and quickly called out to him to stop.

A cute, blonde little girl, barely six years old, turned around beside the man and asked in a clear voice, "Grandpa Qianjun, is there anything else?"

Seeing the little girl's big, blinking eyes, Qianjun felt his heart melt.

"Xiaoxue, don't worry, this matter is also related to you."

After speaking, Qianjun Douluo looked at the middle-aged man. This man was none other than Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Hall of Worship, the Hall Master of the Douluo Hall, the High Priest of the God of Angels, and one of the only three Limit Douluo on the Douluo Continent. Of course, in this era, Limit Douluo is also known as Peerless Douluo.

As for the little girl beside him, she is none other than Qian Renxue, the "Goddess of Angels, the future Crown Prince of Tiandou, and the Pope's daughter".

"What's the matter? I was just about to take Xiaoxue hunting soul beasts. As her grandfather, I will personally help her obtain her first and second soul rings."

Qian Daoliu stopped in his tracks, somewhat puzzled, wondering why Qianjun Douluo had suddenly called him back and said it was related to his granddaughter.

“Brother, the bishop of the Spirit Temple in Tiandou City sent a message saying that there is a way to achieve the second ring of a thousand years. I was thinking that although there is a divine test, wouldn’t a higher age of the spirit ring be more beneficial for Xiaoxue?”

Upon hearing Qian Jun Douluo's reason, Qian Daoliu's brow twitched almost imperceptibly, showing some interest.

Where is Salas now?

"Brother, I have already given the order. He should wait in the main hall of the temple."

Qianjun Douluo was prepared and answered immediately.

"Alright, we can take a look since we're on the way."

As he spoke, a soft, non-glaring light emanated from Qian Daoliu's body...

Chapter 9 Angels Descend, the Spirit Hall's Reward

"Xiaoxue, hold Grandpa's hand tightly, let's teleport there."

Qian Daoliu lowered his head, looking at his granddaughter with a complicated expression.

"Okay, Grandpa."

As she spoke, she blinked her big eyes and tightened her grip on her grandfather's sleeve.

The soft aura that was originally emanating from Qian Daoliu gradually intensified, and a special power was drawn from the angel statue located in the hall behind him.

Following some kind of unseen intuition, a door of light appeared in front of the two.

"Qianjun, I'm entrusting the Hall of Offerings to you for the time being."

After stepping through the portal, Qian Daoliu's voice lingered in the spot.

"Don't worry, brother."

Even though the portal had closed, Thousand-Pound Douluo still solemnly patted his chest.

……

In the empty hall, Salas stood silently, showing no sign of impatience.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and abruptly looked up at the magnificent angel mural that covered the entire wall.

Soft light emanates from the mural, making the huge angel image lifelike and beautiful, as if it were a deity descended to earth.

hum!

A faint humming sound filled the room as an oval-shaped portal of light slowly unfolded before the image of an angel.

"this!"

Salas was speechless with surprise. He knew that the Temple of Worship might send someone, but he never expected that the way they arrived would be so unusual.

Emerging from the portal was a middle-aged man dressed in a simple yet elegant white robe. He appeared to be only in his forties, but his weathered and story-filled eyes told those who saw him that he was a wise old man who had lived through many years.

He was holding the hand of a little girl who looked no more than six years old on his left.

"I have seen the offerings."

Salas stepped forward, bowed, and carried his luggage. He only knew that the Hall of Offerings was full of Super Douluo, but he didn't know exactly who they were. Therefore, he treated all the people from the Hall of Offerings as offerings.

Qian Daoliu naturally didn't put on airs or show off his status as a high-ranking elder. He nodded and said calmly.

"Get up. Where is the theory?"

Salas hurriedly and respectfully presented Tangshan's theory.

"Give me a room."

Qian Daoliu didn't rush to read it, but instead asked Salas to arrange accommodation first.

"Yes, sir. Then I shall take my leave."

He only left after seeing Qian Daoliu nod.

Throughout the entire process, he never asked who the little girl following the worshipper was, maintaining a proper distance, even though he already had some guesses about her identity.

Qian Renxue remained silent. Her mother's indifference from childhood had affected her personality. It was alright in the Hall of Offerings, where the grandfathers had watched her grow up, so she could still show some of her girlish nature. But now that she was outside, she subconsciously put on a mask and tried her best to separate herself from others.

Seeing Salas step down, Qian Daoliu simply sat cross-legged on the ground and embraced his granddaughter.

"Xiaoxue, let's take a look at this special martial spirit theory together."

The little girl, Qian Renxue, pursed her lips and curiously focused her gaze on the elegant and powerful calligraphy.

……

"Is the time it takes for a Soul Master to absorb a Soul Ring really related to their physical fitness, Grandpa?"

After reading the entire theory, Qian Renxue asked curiously.

"It certainly has a lot to do with physical fitness."

Qian Daoliu's eyes remained calm. This theory was indeed unique, clarifying some of the vague ideas he had had in his cultivation so far.

"Grandpa, should I train my body like the one mentioned above to absorb a higher-age soul ring?"

Qian Renxue's expectant tone undoubtedly revealed her thoughts.

If I were to reach the second ring of the millennium, or even the first ring of the millennium, I would likely attract that woman's attention.

"No exercise is needed."

Qian Daoliu interrupted his granddaughter's fantasy without hesitation. Seeing the disappointed expression on her delicate little face, he couldn't help but rub her little head.

“My dear granddaughter, you haven’t noticed the key point of this theory. The key point of the theory has never been physical training, but rather that physical fitness is related to the number of years a spirit ring can be absorbed. In other words, as long as physical fitness is improved, even without physical training, one can absorb spirit rings of higher levels.”

Seeing Qian Renxue's face brighten, Qian Daoliu also revealed a gentle smile.

“Your grandfather Qianjun is right. Even though the age of a soul ring can be increased through the divine test, the better the foundation, the greater the gains after the increase. And your grandfather has no shortage of means to improve physical fitness.”

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu's eyes flickered slightly, and with a flick of his hand, he took out a soul bone that exuded a sacred aura and resembled a human left leg.

"Xiaoxue, this is one of the Angelic Divine Armor passed down in our Angelic Family. It is a soul bone with an age of 99,999 years. After absorbing it, the enhancement to your physical fitness will be enough to allow you to withstand a thousand-year soul ring."

Faced with such a huge temptation, Qian Renxue remained calm.

"Grandpa, didn't you say I should absorb the skull? How did it turn into the limbs and soul bones?"

"Hey! Xiaoxue, have you thought this through? With your innate level 20 talent, if you focus on cultivation, becoming a Soul Saint before the age of 20 shouldn't be a problem. Why come to the Heaven Dou Empire to carry out this 'switching the prince' plan?"

“Grandpa, I’m not doing this for the Spirit Hall. I know that when I become a god, no one can stop me. No matter how superior the Spirit Hall’s plans are, they will only be a backdrop in the face of my future power. I just want to prove to that woman that I will far surpass her in every aspect.”

Her delicate face was tense, and her eyes held an indescribable determination and resolve.

Looking at his granddaughter who exuded an icy aura, Qian Daoliu opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing, and could only helplessly exchange a soul bone for her.

It was a complete skull, looking like a miniature skull, but the radiant and sacred aura emanating from it did not make the soul bone seem harmful; instead, it gave people a sense of solemnity and reverence.

At that moment, there was a soft knock on the door and Salas's report.

"Reporting to the Master, the room is ready. Is there anything else that needs to be done?"

Sendou Ryu, who had stood up again, pushed open the door and nodded slightly to Salas, who was respectfully waiting for his instructions.

"You lead the way, and once we get to the room, you can leave. Don't worry about us. Just focus on your normal travel duties. We'll leave naturally after we've finished our business. Just pretend we don't exist during this time."

"Yes, sir." Salas glanced at the theoretical prophecy in Qian Daoliu's hand and then stopped.

Noticing the other party's gaze, Qian Daoliu realized that he hadn't yet discussed how to handle this theory—whether to include it as core material of the Spirit Hall or to actively disseminate it.

"Let's publish this theory in our Spirit Hall's Spirit Daily. The creator of the theory will be rewarded with 10,000 gold spirit coins."

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's instructions, Salas respectfully agreed and led the way.

Thinking about the theory of martial spirits, and looking at his granddaughter whom he was holding hands with, Qian Daoliu's expression was inexplicably strange.

It must be admitted that his granddaughter is very similar to her mother. One disregards the Spirit Hall's kindness in raising him and her responsibilities as the Spirit Saintess, and insists on falling in love with an outcast from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan whose logic is flawed.

The other one, disregarding her own exceptional talent, wanted to become the Crown Prince of Tiandou to prove herself superior to her mother.

They are people who, instead of pursuing a favorable situation and the right path, choose to take crooked and evil ways.

Fortunately, Xiaoxue will at most waste some of her talent, and she is unlikely to follow in her mother's footsteps.

Looking at the theory in his hand, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but chuckle at his own ideas.

It's impossible that Xiaoxue was also lured away by someone who studies martial spirit theory, just like her mother. How could that be?

After seeing such a theory of martial spirit, I still don't believe that Xiaoxue will be fooled by other people's "theories of martial spirit".
