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

Previously, when he absorbed his first spirit ring, he changed its effect by using an extremely strong and concentrated consciousness. Now, when he absorbs his second spirit ring, by sheer coincidence, he is able to directly enter a space that resembles a spirit ring skill.

Recalling Su Haichao's incredible teleportation skill, which allowed him to move distances that increased with his soul power, Tang Shan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

His previous interference with soul skills was out of necessity. After all, uncontrolled soul skills are not very useful in the later stages. It is better to have controlled but weaker skills than uncontrolled ones with decent power.

Now, however, he seems to be able to choose directly from these soul skills, and he might even be able to choose a growth-type skill like his father's. How could he not be tempted?

Subconsciously, my consciousness moved within this space.

[Elephant Roar: Emits a loud and clear elephant roar, intimidating opponents and causing sonic damage.]

[Earthquake Stomp: Power is channeled into the earth, generating seismic waves within a ten-meter radius, stunning enemies for at least one second.]

[Super Armor: Strength increased by 100%, granting super armor status, immune to shockwaves and knockbacks, can stop but will not retreat]

【Earth Waves Surge: The land flows like water, and can be controlled like limbs, allowing direct manipulation to engulf opponents】

A variety of wondrous soul skills flooded into his consciousness as information, and were subsequently learned by Tang Shan.

Sure enough, I must have entered the soul ring and soul skill space of this diamond mammoth. Many of the earth-attribute skills there must have been possessed by its ancestors.

As Tang Shan continuously traversed through various soul skills, his consciousness was like a rat that had fallen into an oil vat, rapidly absorbing the information within. His vision and thinking also broadened under the influence of these soul skills.

As expected, it possesses a domain soul skill: Earth Domain, which increases all of its own attributes by 30%, weakens the opponent by 20%, and greatly increases its ability to control the earth element.

Sensing the information received in his consciousness, Tang Shan's thoughts raced.

The reason why Dad didn't obtain the Domain Soul Skill last time was either because the effect of indirectly interfering with the space of the Soul Skill with his consciousness was not good, or because there are certain conditions to obtain the Domain Soul Skill. It is also possible that both possibilities exist.

P.S.: Here's a patch: the reason for consuming unrefined soul ring energy is that the protagonist's current overpowered state requires his first soul skill to consume a large amount of soul skill energy to maintain. Also, to acquire a relatively powerful soul skill, it's not about forcibly suppressing his level; the protagonist will become a Soul Master within three years after the breakthrough. Finally, please support me!

Never mind, I'll come back and check again next time. Right now, I need to find a soul skill that suits my taste.

Tang Shan's consciousness paused for a moment in front of the Earth Domain Soul Skill before traversing the entire Soul Ring and Soul Skill space again.

Ultimately, it's an earth-attribute domain soul skill, which doesn't quite match my strength attribute. I'll take another look. If there's nothing that matches, I can come back and look for something else later.

Tang Shan pondered as he sensed the soul skill information flooding into his consciousness.

He was naturally tempted by the domain soul skill, but his early plans for cultivation led him to decide not to easily absorb other attribute soul rings and soul skills.

If it were any powerhouse at the near-title Douluo level, given the opportunity to obtain a domain soul skill, even if it didn't match their own martial soul attributes or even caused attribute rejection, they would still choose it without hesitation.

However, Tang Shan is different. Although his cultivation has been somewhat bumpy under his planning, the general direction has not gone wrong. Moreover, his research on martial souls has continuously produced new results. He is becoming more and more confident in the future path he is going to take. A domain soul skill cannot cause him too much fluctuation. Unless there are really no good power attribute soul skills in this entire soul skill space, the Earth Domain soul skill will always be a last resort.

[Berserk: All attributes increased by 50%, Strength increased by 200%]

[Going All Out: Consuming all soul power and physical strength to unleash the strongest attack theoretically possible, after which the person falls into a weakened state.]

[Golden Body: Enters a ten-second invincible state, invulnerable to beings below the level of a god. Ten seconds of invulnerability are accumulated daily and can be canceled at any time.]

……

Tang Shan's consciousness passed through all sorts of soul skills, including some like the Invincible Golden Body. Now Tang Shan realized that he had misunderstood before. There were no bad soul skills here. They were all obviously good soul skills. Unfortunately, he could only choose one.

Hmm, it seems like the soul skills in this direction are getting better and better.

As Tang Shan sensed the information from several soul skills flooding into his mind, he seemed to have discovered a certain pattern.

Through an unseen connection, and sensing the increasingly thinning soul ring energy flowing into his body, Tang Shan's consciousness stirred, and he sped off towards the direction he guessed the location of the powerful soul skill.

Never mind, at most it's just a waste of a soul skill slot. The main thing is to figure out the distribution rules of this soul skill space so that next time I come here, I won't have to wander around like a headless fly.

Consciousness raced through the information space, and one soul skill after another flooded into his mind. The massive amount of information overwhelmed Tang Shan's consciousness, making him feel dizzy and confused.

It's unclear how much time has passed, but the surrounding soul skills have gradually become sparse, yet each one is utterly outrageous.

[Great Boost: Strength attribute increased by 850%, grants invulnerability when Soul Skill is activated]

[Gravity Domain: Amplifies own power and weakens opponent power by the same amount as own soul power level. Gravity can be increased by a factor equal to own soul power level ÷ 10.]

The soul power flowing into the soul ring gradually thinned out, completely merging with Tang Shan.

In the end, Tang Shan did not hesitate to crash into the last soul skill in his consciousness. A large amount of information flooded into his mind, and in the midst of the dizziness, his perception and will returned to his body.

Snake Spear Douluo frowned as he looked at Tang Shan, whose face was somewhat pale. What happened? The soul ring absorption should have been successful, but why did so much soul power be consumed after absorbing the soul ring? Even if he kept using the first soul skill, it shouldn't be like this. I know how much Tang Shan's first soul skill consumes.

At this moment, Tang Shan did not rush to open his eyes. Instead, he sorted through the information of the soul skill he had encountered at the end. He could not suppress the joy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Just as I guessed, you get the soul skill you encounter, and the last soul skill is truly outrageous. If you combine it with the physical changes of your main body during battles, just how powerful will it be?

However, Tang Shan couldn't help but have some doubts about whether this soul skill was something a Diamond Mammoth could possess, given its outrageous effects.

【Dharma Image Heaven and Earth: After activating the Soul Skill, it increases the user's size. Each level of Soul Power increases the size by 10%, with no upper limit;

If one reaches the Soul Saint level, each level of Soul Power increases one's size by 30%, with no upper limit.

If one achieves the title of Title Douluo, each level of soul power will increase their size by 50% with no upper limit.

The Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth truly lives up to its name; it is indeed somewhat similar to the effects described in the myths and legends of my past life.

After sorting through his spoils, Tang Shan subconsciously opened his eyes and saw the Serpent Spear Douluo staring intently at him.

He instinctively shrank back and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, is there something you need?"

Seeing that Tang Shan only had excessive soul power consumption and no other problems, Serpent Spear Douluo breathed a sigh of relief. However, he still frowned and asked, "What happened to you just now? Why did your soul power consume so much when you absorbed the soul ring? What was the result?"

Tang Shan was somewhat embarrassed, knowing that his state just now was a bit frightening. No matter how dangerous it was for others to absorb a spirit ring, their spirit power would definitely be abundant. But when he absorbed a spirit ring, his spirit power decreased instead of increasing, which was truly bizarre.

However, he couldn't say that he had broken into the spirit ring, found the space containing spirit skills, and selected some. Regardless of whether Serpent Spear Douluo would believe him, the main issue was that if he told the other party, there would be too much to explain, and he couldn't guarantee his own safety.

Just as he concealed his thoughts on condensing the soul core, Tang Shan decided that before reaching a certain level of cultivation, he should also keep the matter of the soul ring, soul skill, and space a secret and never expose it.

"Senior, in order to ensure the smooth absorption of the 4900-year-old soul ring, I activated my first soul skill to amplify my internal energy, just in case. I just didn't expect that the soul power impact I suffered when activating the first soul skill would increase so much."

Serpent Spear Douluo thought about Tang Shan's explanation and felt that it seemed to make sense. After confirming again that Tang Shan's body was not seriously injured, he believed his explanation.

After all, the Spirit Hall has thoroughly figured out the changes that can occur during the absorption of spirit rings throughout history. Although Tang Shan's situation is rare, it is not unheard of. After all, not everyone can perfectly bear a new spirit ring.

However, unlike the others who activated their soul skills because they couldn't handle it, Tang Shan activated them as a precaution.

"You should start cultivating first and see what level your soul power will be in the end."

Serpent Spear Douluo took out a crystal ball, obviously to test soul power, and tossed it in his hand, indicating to Tang Shan.

Tang Shan did not refuse. He was also curious about what level his soul power would be at this moment after the consumption in the soul skill space.

……

What exactly did he do? Why did the second time cause fluctuations in the rules?

The black-haired girl's beautiful eyes were filled with doubt as she carefully sensed the new aura that Tang Shan had developed after his breakthrough, relying on her terrifying perception.

Why does it seem like there's still the aura of primitive mammoths? Wasn't this race restricted from reproducing by the Douluo Continent because that soul skill was too overpowered, and then gradually became extinct? Is Di Tian lying to me?

The black-haired girl had a small head filled with big questions.

That doesn't make sense either. Even if the primitive mammoth didn't go extinct, he was still a human being. How could he possibly possess the aura of the primitive mammoth that Di Tian showed me?

Even if the Diamond Mammoth has a trace of the bloodline of the primitive mammoth, it shouldn't be able to obtain the soul skills of the primitive mammoth. What kind of luck would it take to randomly obtain their soul skills from among random soul skills?

It's impossible that this human is the chosen one of this era.

I had many questions in my mind, but I didn't get a definite answer to almost any of them.

A certain "silver dragon fish" couldn't help but cuddle the big cat in its arms and ask, "Auspicious beast, I just woke up and my injuries haven't healed much. Can you help me sense whether there is any gathering of destiny power on that human?"

The three-eyed golden lion poked its head out, its rose-gold eyes on its forehead quietly opening, looking at Tang Shan, who was sitting cross-legged and recovering his soul power.

"My lord, no, I took a look. Although there are signs that this human's fate has been altered, there is no gathering of the power of fate. But since fate has changed, perhaps the chosen one of the plane is right next to him?"

Is the chosen one of the planes beside him?

The black-haired girl seemed lost in thought, a glint of wisdom flashing in her dark eyes.

“Rui Shou, what do you think about recruiting him into our Soul Beast camp? The birth of the Chosen One of the Planes is bound to have a mission associated with him. We can use him to recruit the Chosen One of the Planes, and maybe then we can give those traitors in the sky a huge surprise.”

"But how do we win them over?"

The three-eyed golden lion's voice was clear and crisp, tinged with a hint of doubt.

"We can befriend him first. Aren't humans easily bound by so-called emotions? Once I'm his friend, I can tell him my true identity and the actions of those traitors. That should be enough to win him over to our side."

The black-haired girl quickly came up with a solution, and a bold plan was thus formed.

"Not only do I want to befriend him, but I also want to delve into the human world, understand humanity, and see how they treat those traitors in the sky. Only by understanding them can I defeat them."

"My sister, you must go to the human world."

The three-eyed golden lion instantly grasped the key point, its big eyes darting around as it nuzzled the girl's cheek.

"Can you take me with you? I'm so bored in the Star Dou Great Forest, and I can only play in the core area. It's not fun at all."

"No, I'm going to take care of important business."

The black-haired girl refused with "righteous indignation".

"OK then."

The three-eyed golden lion hung its head dejectedly. Suddenly, it remembered something and asked with some worry, "Then, my lord, what about your injuries? Will you be alright if you stay conscious?"

"My trip to the human world this time is also related to my injuries. I don't know how many years it will take to fully recover. If there is no major crisis in the human world, I have decided to use the transformation rules of the Douluo plane to transform into a human and cultivate again to regain my power. In this way, I should be able to recover to my peak strength in a hundred years at most. There is no need to lie at the bottom of the Lake of Life for tens of thousands of years. I am not sure if I can fully recover in the end."

P.S.: There seem to be quite a few problematic points in this chapter, so I'll patch them up one by one.

First, they won't fight the divine realm in the end, because the divine realm isn't the villain.

Second, the so-called alteration of the protagonist's fate simply means that the protagonist changed his own fate; please don't overthink it.

Ahem, it seems there are only two patches. Did you all guess the protagonist's amplification soul skill? It's not an amplification of strength, nor an all-around amplification, but rather an amplification of body size.

With the ten meridians connected and the circulation of soul power added, Tang Shan's ability to absorb external energy was further enhanced. After a short period of cultivation, the soul power in his body was fully replenished.

He stood up, took the crystal ball from Serpent Spear Douluo, and poured his soul power into it without hesitation. The light spread rapidly upwards from the bottom, and the speed of increase slowed down after it passed halfway, finally stopping at two-thirds of the way up.

Comparing the scale above, Serpent Spear Douluo quickly gave the result: "This crystal ball can detect soul power at the quasi-Soul Master level at most. Judging from the scale currently displayed, you should have reached level 22, close to level 23."

This level was not unexpected for Tang Shan. In fact, for Tang Shan, being able to increase his soul power by nearly two levels was already an unexpected surprise. After all, when he entered the soul skill space, the soul power consumption of the first soul skill was too great, which forced him to mobilize some of the soul ring energy to maintain the release of the first soul skill.

After testing his own soul power level, Tang Shan looked at the Serpent Spear Douluo and said, "Senior, I would like to test my soul skills."

The Serpent Spear Douluo nodded, somewhat curious.

Two spirit rings, one pale purple and one brilliant purple, emerged from beneath Tang Shan's feet. However, this time, Tang Shan's body did not change again, because his spirit had completely merged with his body. Currently, his body is his spirit, and his spirit is his body. Tang Shan has completed the first stage of a spirit master's cultivation and the process of gradually integrating with his spirit. In other words, if he can seize the opportunity, he can undergo a second awakening.
