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

A confluence of factors led Serpent Spear Douluo to deeply doubt his path of cultivation. It was during those days of hesitation that he finally understood his true self, solidified his chosen path, and ultimately comprehended the essence of the spear. His subsequent cultivation progressed smoothly, reaching the peak of the Soul Douluo realm. Later, with the support of the Spirit Hall, he became the Serpent Spear Douluo he is today.

She Long's process of comprehending the spear's essence was full of coincidences and was by no means smooth. He dared not imagine when Tang Shan would have another chance to seize the opportunity for enlightenment if he missed this one.

But his confrontation with Tangshan was not a life-or-death battle; he simply couldn't match Tangshan's ruthless, all-or-nothing spirit.

Never mind! Let's stabilize this kid's comprehension state first. Even if he can't break through in one go, we have to make sure he gets the most out of this opportunity!

Serpent Spear Douluo's eyes narrowed. Without summoning his martial soul, he relied solely on his superior physical attributes and soul power, far surpassing Tang Shan's, to swing his fists and palms and engage in a head-on clash with Tang Shan.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

The dull thud of fists colliding was like a series of heavy hammer blows into the air. With each collision, Tang Shan's aura surged, propelling him towards his peak like a rocket, his inner energy burning ever brighter. That overwhelming aura was like a blazing flame, making even the surrounding air seem to scorch.

"We're nearing our limit." She Long made a quick judgment in his mind. Tangshan's momentum had reached its peak, and the moment of decline was about to arrive.

It's a pity that such a rare opportunity to comprehend the meaning of the spear will be wasted.

Even now, Serpent Spear Douluo still hasn't figured out how to help Tang Shan replenish his last bit of life.

Unless an enemy emerges now! It doesn't need to be too strong, and it doesn't need to force Tangshan to fight to the death. As long as we can put enough pressure on him, we can break through that final hurdle in one go.

Where can we find such a suitable opponent?

Serpent Spear Douluo sighed inwardly, preparing to slowly withdraw his power to coordinate with Tang Shan's retreat. But just then, he suddenly looked up, gazing into the depths of the forest. His powerful spiritual energy swept across like lightning, then instantly receded. The next second, an excited smile suddenly bloomed on his aged face.

"You've searched high and low without finding it, but it's right here without any effort! Tangshan, your opportunity has arrived, so be ready to seize it!"

The powerful voice, transmitted precisely through a method that allowed it to penetrate Tangshan's ears.

Before Tang Shan could react, a powerful surge of soul force suddenly enveloped him, flinging him like a cannonball into the depths of the forest.

An opportunity? Tang Shan's mind raced. Although he didn't notice anything unusual about his state of comprehending will, he still trusted Serpent Spear Douluo's words completely.

After all, the other party had far more experience in terms of willpower than he did.

Besides, if Serpent Spear Douluo really wanted to harm him, he wouldn't have bothered going through such a long and complicated process. With the opponent's strength, crushing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he's currently fighting the Serpent Spear Douluo on equal terms, seemingly evenly matched. Only Tang Shan himself truly understands the vast difference in their abilities.

Making a quick mental judgment, Tang Shan's body was already hurtling towards the canopy of a large tree in mid-air. With lightning speed, Tang Shan's hands moved in alternating motions, precisely grabbing the intertwined branches. Using the force of the branches, he swung and deflected the attack, completely neutralizing the force of the Serpent Spear Douluo's swing in the blink of an eye.

With a twist of his waist, he landed like a nimble cat, standing firmly on a branch no thicker than two fingers. Thanks to his extreme control over his strength, even running and leaping on this slender branch was as easy as walking on flat ground.

Standing on a tree branch, Tang Shan exhaled a long breath, his boiling energy subsiding slightly.

He was about to ask the Serpent Spear Douluo not far away when his subconscious gaze swept around and he immediately saw the "opportunity" the other party was talking about.

It's less a matter of chance and more a matter of muscle apes!

Just as he regained his footing, the surrounding woods had somehow become filled with figures. It was a group of apes of various shapes and sizes, their muscles bulging in a frightening way. Tangshan couldn't tell if they were baboons, King Kongs, or monkeys.

Squeak!

Awooooo!

quack quack!

The roars that rose and fell were deafening. The strange monkeys pounded their chests frantically, their eyes bloodshot and filled with violence and excitement as they stared intently at Tangshan on the tree branch, baring their fangs and looking incredibly fierce.

Watching them dart through the woods, gradually closing the encirclement, their menacing demeanor instantly tensed Tang Shan's muscles. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a chilling killing intent spread through him. His slightly diminished energy slowly began to rise again, and this time, it burned even brighter than before!

His sharp eyes swept quickly across the muscular apes in the encirclement, and he soon noticed something was wrong.

Most of the men who surrounded them were covered in wounds, some so deep they exposed bone, their flesh mangled and bloody. Clearly, this was a wounded army that had just fought a fierce battle.

Since it's a weakened force... let's pick on the weak first, and then slowly deal with the stronger ones!

A strange light flashed in Tang Shan's eyes, and he instantly decided on a way to break the deadlock.

P.S.: First update, the protagonist is about to comprehend his will.

In the deep canopy of trees, She Long held his serpent spear in his arms, his hands folded in front of his chest, watching with great interest the imminent battle not far away. A smile of satisfaction quietly spread across his aged face.

I don't know if it was just your luck to run into these guys. But with them around, breaking through that barrier should be a sure thing.

A terrifying mental force, like an invisible net, emanated from She Long, covering the entire battlefield.

This was a backup plan he had laid out to prevent Tangshan from falling into crisis, so that he could step in to rescue it at any time.

With his spiritual power imbued with the intent of a spear, if Tang Shan were to fall into danger, he could easily intimidate any soul beast in the arena into unconsciousness with just his spiritual power.

Protecting Tangshan was both an order given to him by Xue Qinghe and a responsibility he was obligated to undertake.

Regardless of how many Soul Masters his theories have benefited, Tang Shan deserves to be well protected simply because he is a disciple of the master.

Not to mention, from his heart, She Long would never want his tragedy to repeat itself, and he would never allow this promising Soul Master genius to suffer any mishap.

Moreover, he believed that with his titled Douluo cultivation, he was more than capable of protecting Tang Shan.

A level 98 Chicken Leg Douluo gave it a like.

……

Tang Shan had no idea how many thoughts the Serpent Spear Douluo in the treetops had been contemplating in that short time. He simply maintained his sharp gaze, scanning the troop of mixed apes that was closing in on him step by step.

Soon, an inconspicuous yet highly distinctive monkey instantly caught Tangshan's attention.

It is inconspicuous because compared to the group of muscular giants in front of it, its body is not weak at all, but rather excessively slender. Hidden among the burly monkeys, it can be completely overlooked if you are not paying attention.

What makes it so iconic is its ridiculously large head, in contrast to its slender body. Just how big is that head? Well, if you were to allocate some of the volume of its head to its body, its size would be comparable to that of any other monkey.

Looking at this spirit beast with extremely distinctive features, Tang Shan recognized its identity almost instantly.

The top-tier spirit-type soul beast, the Multi-Brained Monkey.

These types of spirit beasts possess unparalleled spiritual power, yet their physical bodies are extremely weak.

The reason it is called the multi-brained monkey is not because it actually has several heads, but specifically refers to the source of its powerful mental strength.

The multi-brained monkey is an extremely rare mutated bloodline, with incredibly demanding birth conditions. Both the male and female bloodlines must contain at least ten different types of ape-like spirit beast bloodlines for a possible offspring to be born, and the tracing of these bloodlines cannot exceed four generations.

In other words, the great-grandparents of the Multibrained Monkey must have been two different species of ape spirit beasts for the Multibrained Monkey to be born in its generation.

The term "multi-brained monkey" refers to its brain, which seems to combine the advantages of all the ape-like spirit beast bloodlines in its body, making it far more intelligent than ordinary monkeys and truly extraordinary.

It can not only recruit ape-like soul beasts with the corresponding bloodline as its subordinates, but also systematically train them and even teach them how to use weapons.

If its mutation hadn't been incompletely successful, with excessive mental pressure causing its physical body to become incredibly weak, it probably would have already joined the ranks of super soul beasts.

When Tang Shan first saw the information about this kind of spirit beast, he couldn't help but think it reminded him of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Now that he's seen a real monkey with his own eyes, that feeling has only grown stronger.

Looking at that group of muscular burly men wielding wooden sticks, Tang Shan's lips twitched involuntarily. You're telling me these are spirit beasts? They can train, they can use weapons—you could tell they're cavemen, and I'd believe you!

These absurd thoughts flashed through his mind, gradually calming his previously turbulent heart.

Tang Shan's muscles tensed inch by inch, every inch of his body brimming with power, ready to unleash his full strength at any moment and deliver a crushing blow to these arrogant monkeys.

Hiding among the muscular hunks, the multi-brained monkey looked at Tang Shan's unchanging expression, and a hint of human solemnity flashed in its huge eyes.

This guy wasn't scared by us? Looks like we have to get serious. We can't just hand over the territory we just snatched from those elephants!

Wow!

The multibrained monkey raised its head and let out a sharp cry. The sound was so penetrating that it caused Tang Shan to momentarily lose his senses the instant it entered his mind.

At the same time, the ape-like spirit beasts that heard the command immediately grabbed tree branches with one hand and waved thick wooden sticks with the other, howling as they rushed towards Tangshan like cannonballs.

Tang Shan snapped out of his daze and looked at the overwhelming horde of monkeys approaching. The madness he felt during his fierce battle with the Serpent Spear Douluo surged up from the bottom of his heart once again.

"Let's fight!"

With a roar, amplified by the combined power of his internal organs and soul force, it was no less powerful than the howls of the monkey troop; rather, it was like a thunderclap that suddenly exploded in the forest.

Click-clack!

Tangshan slammed his feet into the tree branch, and his bones cracked loudly.

The moment the branch snapped, his body leaped high into the air like an arrow, meeting the wooden sticks that came from the front, side, and back at the same time.

Mad Baboon! Blood Burn Skill! By overdrawing blood and life force, it temporarily amplifies its own attack power!

As Tang Shan watched the monkey leaping towards him, wielding a wooden stick, a flash of information crossed his mind.

Snapped!

He reached out with lightning speed, grabbed the other man's wooden stick, pulled his wrist sharply, and then thrust it forward with a powerful slap!

With a muffled thud, a deep dent appeared on the skull of the crazed baboon, exposing the bone. The murder weapon was none other than the heavy wooden stick in its own hand.

boom!boom!

Two muffled thuds rang out in quick succession. The first was the hard clash of wooden sticks against each other; the second was the dull thud of a stick slamming into flesh.

Wind Baboon! Innate Skill: Gale! Greatly increases its own speed!

The information about the soul beast that had been swatted away flashed through his mind again. Taking advantage of the cushioning force from the impact of the blow, Tang Shan's falling speed slowed slightly, and he narrowly dodged the last slash of the staff.

Whoosh!

Tang Shan's muscles bulged violently, and his blood surged like a raging river. With a sudden flick of his wrist, the wooden stick in his hand instantly transformed into a blur, carrying a powerful gust of wind as it slammed down on the remaining targets.

Immediately afterwards, he reached out and grabbed the drooping branches with precision, then used the momentum to flip over and leap onto the top of another tree like a nimble ape.

Before he could even get his footing, a swarm of apes had already surrounded him from all sides, their scarlet eyes fixed on him. Faced with Tang Shan's astonishing feat of easily dispatching three of his companions, these ferocious spirit beasts showed no fear in their eyes, only bloodthirsty savagery and violence.

Wahahaha!

In the treetops not far away, a multibrained monkey leaped and jumped, its mouth emitting a cacophony of shrill laughter from different ape species. Its enormous eyes were filled with the arrogance of a petty person who had achieved success.

A cold smile suddenly appeared on Tang Shan's lips. He slowly extended his five fingers, clenched them into a fist, raised his thumb, and then rotated it extremely slowly, 180 degrees.

Chapter 96 Berserker Battle, Final Breakthrough

Tangshan's highly sarcastic gesture enraged the multibrained monkey hidden among the mixed ape troop, who looked up and let out a sharp monkey cry.

In the next instant, as if receiving some command, the monkeys of various shapes and sizes almost simultaneously pounded their chests and roared, rushing through the forest with a ferocious momentum, running wildly along the tree branches, the ear-piercing sound of sharp claws scraping against the bark rising and falling, quickly closing the distance to Tangshan.

Woohoo!

The Iron-Armed Monkey's knee-length arms were bulging with muscles. With a powerful swing, a wooden stick as thick as a bowl whistled through the air and smashed towards Tang Shan's face. At the same time, he raised his fist, and the force of his punch, carrying a strong wind, blasted towards the human in front of him like a heavy cannon.

call!

Tang Shan caught the stick easily, his arm muscles tensing instantly. He subconsciously used a skillful force to deflect the immense force carried by the stick, and then pushed it forward. The slender stick snapped in two, splintering wood everywhere, but it also barely stopped the heavy punches that Iron Arm Monkey was relentlessly pursuing.
