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

The force of the vibration begins at the outermost membrane, the body's first line of defense. The membrane, which was originally saturated due to the breakthrough, is repeatedly hammered by this high-frequency vibration, like a piece of refined steel being stretched again, becoming denser and tougher, and its newly born potential is squeezed to its fullest extent.

Immediately afterwards, the force of vibration surged into the muscles like a tidal wave. Every muscle fiber trembled violently, as if countless invisible hands were performing a deep massage and compression. The toughness and density of the muscle fibers increased wildly in this process, and the strength barrier that had already reached its limit quietly shattered, and the strength began to rise again.

Subsequently, the resonance permeated the major tendons connecting the body and the ligaments binding the joints. These white, cord-like structures emitted a teeth-grinding popping sound under the resonance, like constantly stretched musical strings, optimizing the efficiency of power transmission to the extreme, thus minimizing power loss during transmission.

Deeper still, there is the skeleton. The skeleton, which was originally as clear and lustrous as white jade, was subjected to constant vibrations in its internal microstructure under the influence of this special resonant force. Those extremely hidden impurities were extracted like sand being sifted out, making the skeleton's color even deeper and giving it a glass-like texture. Its own texture became even more tough.

The resonance also affected the internal organs. Under the refinement of Tangshan's hidden strength, the internal organs had long been free of hidden injuries, but now, under the effect of resonance, the peristaltic frequency of the internal organs was perfectly matched with the external vibrations. Each contraction burst forth with stronger vitality, and the newly added potential was completely activated and transformed into a continuous source of life force.

Finally, this force, affecting the entire body, penetrated deep into the bone marrow like a drill. This is the most fundamental treasure trove of the human body. Guided by Tang Shan, the powerful qi and blood transformed into miniature torrents of blood, frantically washing over the gaps in the bone marrow.

This is the "Resonance Method," a secret method for cleansing the marrow created by Tangshan by combining its own advantages and spending countless efforts.

Tang Shan used his god-like perception to analyze the internal rhythms of numerous soul beasts. He observed the resonance frequencies of the bones, muscles, internal organs, and other body tissues of different physically powerful soul beasts, recorded these vibration frequencies, and combined them with human internal martial arts, applying them to his own martial soul-transformed body multiple times.

Fortunately, although the experiment was dangerous and could easily damage his internal organs, he never suffered serious injuries thanks to his powerful physique after his martial spirit transformation and his god-level perception and control. Occasionally, he would suffer minor injuries, but he could recover after a short period of rest and did not suffer any hidden injuries.

This achievement far exceeded his expectations.

The human body has a limit to its potential.

The so-called internal martial arts are about squeezing out untapped potential through rigorous daily training. For example, the skin can be trained to the point of being able to block swords and blades, but without the assistance of rare and precious materials that can enhance its potential, further training is futile.

But Tang Shan is different. His martial soul is himself, and as long as his soul power breaks through, his potential will surge. This means that once he levels up, he has to go back and refine his body again. Although the increase in strength is gratifying, this repetitive and tedious work is a waste of time.

The "resonance method" precisely addresses this pain point.

The initial training requirement for this method is to transform one's internal energy (化劲), and its core lies in "synchronization." Through the comprehensive resonance of the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, internal organs, and viscera, power is instantly channeled into the bone marrow for the most fundamental tempering.

For those with limited potential, this might just be a highly efficient marrow cleansing method; but for Tang Shan, this freak whose "breakthrough in soul power equals an increase in physical potential," it's practically a tailor-made, perfect marrow cleansing method.

As long as this method is used, all parts of the body will be tempered at the same time. There is no need for him to train the skin first, then the flesh, and finally the bones as before. This process directly saves countless hours and sweat.

At this moment, from the outside, sounds like thunder, tiger roars, and heartbeats emanated from Tang Shan's body, and his skin, muscles, or rather his entire being, were in a state of extremely slight trembling.

With the resonance of the whole body, physical fitness is strengthened at an extremely obvious speed. Qi and blood permeate every extremity and every corner of the body, nourishing every tissue cell. Time quietly passes by in these seconds.

Gu Yue rested her chin on her hand, observing with great interest the subtle changes that had occurred on Tang Shan's body: How interesting. The whole body resonated and tempered itself. This seemed to be a completely new cultivation system, and this system could continuously improve as the soul power increased. I wonder where this system came from?

Buzz!

The subtle humming sound, combined with the booming resonance of Tang Shan's internal organs, resembled a symphony of the flesh, with a touch of eeriness, yet seemingly mixed with a sacredness originating from the primal wildness of the flesh.

P.S.: Soul power enhancement improves physical potential, and resonance techniques develop physical potential. From now on, the protagonist will only need to cultivate one technique; there will be no need to separately temper different parts of the body.

Chapter 111 Ning Fengzhi's Attention and Discovery

The vibration begins in the skin and ends in the marrow.

After an unknown amount of time, Tangshan began to gradually reduce the frequency of the vibrations in his body. The invisible buzzing and the sounds like the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon grew weaker and weaker until they completely fell silent.

As the resonance ceased, the fine beads of sweat that had seeped from his body due to the high temperature evaporated, turning into a wisp of white mist that rose gently. His muscles, which had been taut like a bowstring, slowly relaxed, but every inch of his muscles appeared even more refined and toned.

On the exposed skin, there is a faint, warm luster like glass, which is the trace left by the bone marrow cleansing and bone regeneration after the bones and fascia have undergone deep resonance.

The surging blood and qi returned to calm, and the soul power that had been fluctuating and resonating with the blood and qi also returned to the dantian.

call!

Tang Shan let out a long breath and opened his eyes, a trace of fatigue flashing in them.

The resonance method is different from meditation or soul power cultivation. The latter two involve emptying the mind, which can replace rest in a certain sense. However, the resonance method is a technique that activates the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, organs and viscera of the whole body. Through the resonance between them, the bone marrow is further tempered. It does not have the recovery ability of the latter two. On the contrary, this cultivation method itself is an extremely intense consumption of mental power and even mental strength.

Mental strength cannot be improved in a short period of time. If you want to increase the time for practicing the Resonance Method, you still need to focus on mental strength. Unfortunately, this is the first stage of the battle, not the third stage. I cannot form a contract with a soul spirit, and it is impossible for me to study it on my own. After all, I can at least barely count the basics of internal martial arts, but I really don't understand anything about contracts or magic.

Currently, Tangshan can only maintain one resonance practice session per day. It's not that his body doesn't support practicing more often, but rather that his mental and emotional strength doesn't allow it.

With his martial spirit and physical body now completely integrated, Tang Shan felt that he could train three times a day, let alone just once. However, the objective conditions did not allow it.

The integration of Dan Jin (a type of internal energy) with Jing Qi Shen (another type of internal energy) may bring some benefits to my spiritual cultivation.

"You've finished your cultivation?"

The Serpent Spear Douluo stood beside Tang Shan, looking him up and down with undisguised amazement in his eyes.

Tang Shan's cultivation methods became increasingly difficult for him to understand. Perhaps only the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was more skilled in this art, could grasp some of the intricacies.

"I wonder if I wasted a lot of time cultivating this time. I'll trouble you and Gu Yue to wait for me."

Tang Shan felt a little embarrassed. Although he didn't know exactly how long he had been cultivating, it was highly likely that he had exceeded the originally planned rest time.

"It's alright, I can rest a bit more."

Gu Yue's voice came from beside her. She was holding a huge flower bud in her hand, looking at it curiously. When she heard Tang Shan's words, she casually stuck the flower in the grass and said indifferently.

"Your cultivation is also paving the way for my future, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

Serpent Spear Douluo glanced at Tang Shan and Gu Yue: "Since there's nothing else, shall we prepare to set off?"

Tang Shan nodded, and Gu Yue silently followed behind him. The three of them quickly headed towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

……

"Di Tian, ​​shouldn't we teach our master some basic knowledge about Douluo Continent? Otherwise, it seems like we can easily be fooled by humans."

Having shed her awe of the Silver Dragon King, Brigitte looked at the middle-aged man beside her.

The Beast God Di Tian also fell into deep thought. Even though his lord possessed extraordinary wisdom, he felt that in some aspects, his understanding was not as profound as that of the auspicious beasts. If he wanted to unleash the full potential of the Dragon God's wisdom incarnation, it seemed that he really needed to impart some basic knowledge to his lord.

We can't afford to have that misunderstanding again, where someone's food intake is taken as the food intake of all normal humans.

"Alright, Brigitte, this task will be yours. It's about time we showed up."

Di Tian's voice quietly dissipated into the darkness, and the vibrant figure followed him away.

……

"Sect Master, this is the information we found about Tangshan. Actually, you also sent people from Star City to collect information before."

In the VIP box of the Tiandou City auction house, Ning Fengzhi stood next to a sect spy, presenting him with a thick stack of documents.

"This is information we later investigated further, which also included the living habits and identities of family members around Tangshan."

Ning Fengzhi took the documents from the other party and asked them to leave before opening and carefully reviewing them.

"So it was him. No wonder the name sounded familiar. He's connected to the Spirit Hall. It seems the Crown Prince is going to make quite a splash this time. Even if the Spirit Hall didn't value him, he'll still leave a very deep impression on His Majesty by snatching someone away from them."

As Ning Fengzhi continued flipping through the pages, he let out a soft sound of doubt.

“Salas personally went to Notting City. That’s interesting. Did he personally investigate Tang Shan’s talent and decide that he wasn’t worth nurturing? If Tang Shan does make a name for himself on the continent in the future, he will probably face some punishment.”

Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but smile. Salas was an old rival of his. Although he wasn't very strong, he had caused a lot of trouble for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School over the years as the Hall Master of the Heaven Dou Spirit Hall and the Platinum Bishop. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall backing him up, he would have had one of the two Douluo, Sword and Bone, deal with him long ago.

Clearly, Ning Fengzhi had misunderstood, mistaking Salas's experience of going to Notting City to help Su Haichao hunt for Soul Masters at Xue Qinghe's behest as a test of Tang Shan's talent.

However, his misunderstanding was understandable. Although Su Haichao was the Hall Master of the Spirit Hall in Notting City, there were countless Hall Masters like him in the entire Heaven Dou Empire. No matter how urgent the matter was, it was unlikely to bother Salas, who was a Soul Douluo. In Ning Fengzhi's opinion, at that time, the only thing that could affect Salas was probably Tang Shan's level 10 innate full spirit power.

"Uncle Jian, what do you think?"

Today, accompanying Ning Fengzhi is Chen Xin, the Sword Douluo who possesses the martial soul with the strongest attack power in the world.

He was dressed in a snow-white robe, with a tall and straight figure, an ancient appearance, and skin as delicate as a baby's. His silver hair was neatly combed, and he looked like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's question, he slightly opened his half-closed eyes. They were not clouded like an old man's, but clear like a baby's, reflecting all the phenomena of the world.

"Tang Shan has already shown his talent and has been with the First Prince for quite some time. It will be difficult to win him over. However, his potential is terrifying. According to the information we have gathered, he swept through two-ring Soul Masters with only a one-ring Soul Master, which shows how outstanding his talent is."

Sword Douluo was not wrong. In his opinion, the most difficult stage for a Soul Master to challenge someone of a higher level is actually two stages. One is the stage of high-level Soul Masters above Soul Emperor. At this time, the difference in Soul Power is already very obvious. Even the lowest Soul Emperor has to overcome the hurdle of Martial Soul True Body when challenging a Soul Saint. As long as there is a high-level challenge against someone of a higher level, and the opponent who is defeated is not too weak, then the Soul Master who defeats the opponent can definitely be called a monster.

Another stage is when a one-ring Soul Master challenges a two-ring Soul Master. Unlike Soul Masters who have multiple Soul Rings and can cooperate or even combine them, a one-ring Soul Master ultimately only has one Soul Skill, which is impossible to unleash with much explosive power. The gap between them and a two-ring Soul Master is not small. The other Soul Master can cooperate and unleash two Soul Skills, and can also mix them with normal attacks. While their routines may not be infinitely varied, they are certainly numerous.

As a Soul Master with only one Soul Ring, you either keep releasing Soul Skills or mix them with normal attacks. There's no need to guess; your opponent will figure out your fighting style. If you want to defeat your opponent without a fighting style, lacking Soul Power, and having one less Soul Skill, it's extremely difficult.

"Yes, it's a pity. Uncle Gu and I discovered it ahead of time, but we still missed it because of the other party's identity as a member of the Spirit Hall. I didn't expect his brother to be the second ring in a thousand years, and he himself is even more extraordinary, actually achieving the first ring in a thousand years. The two of them are simply perfect verifiers of the master's theory."

"It's alright. He's still under the command of the Heaven Dou Empire. Originally, it would have been good news for us as long as he hadn't joined the Spirit Hall. Now that he's joined the First Prince's forces, at least we don't have to worry about him becoming a major threat in the future."

Although Sword Douluo was completely absorbed in sword cultivation, his age meant he still had a very clear understanding of many things.

"That's right, it's ultimately part of the Heavenly Struggle. If I can really take the First Prince as my disciple in the future, then I can take the opportunity to invest in Tangshan. Even if I can't win him over to our side, at least he'll have some goodwill towards us."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with golden light as he calculated the situation of the entire empire. The behavior of the Second Prince of Snow Mountain had sounded an alarm for him. He absolutely could not allow an uncontrollable prince to ascend to the throne, and he would definitely intervene in the matter of who would become the Crown Prince.

Suddenly, Sword Douluo remembered something and looked at Ning Fengzhi: "Fengzhi, are you saying that Tang Shan and his elder brother are the first ring of the millennium and the second ring of the millennium respectively?"

Upon hearing Sword Douluo Chen Xin's question, Ning Fengzhi immediately realized the problem. With lightning-fast reflexes, he quickly flipped back to the documents he had set aside, ignoring the announcement from the outside world that "the auction is about to begin." He answered Sword Douluo's question, "That's right, it's two thousand-year soul rings. How could I have overlooked this important point? Also, the original martial soul has innate full soul power and the sixth theory of martial soul."

As he spoke, flashes of inspiration began to connect in Ning Fengzhi's mind, and the truth hidden behind the scenes seemed to quietly surface.

"These two people may be related to the master."

Chen Xin voiced Ning Fengzhi's uncertain guess, which made his expression very complicated, sometimes annoyed and sometimes relieved.

Tang Shan may not know exactly how influential the master is, but leaders of powerful forces like Ning Fengzhi are very clear about it. In the eyes of lower-level soul masters and soul master forces with outstanding geniuses in their families, the master is a golden brand with unparalleled influence.

Perhaps saying that the world belongs to the masters is a bit of an exaggeration, but as long as a major power can get a master to join, it is not a big problem to greatly increase the number of its own lower-level soul masters.

Ning Fengzhi regretted that he had missed the opportunity to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School rise again, but was glad that the two people who were suspected to be related to the Grandmaster did not join the Spirit Hall.

Chapter 112 The Fright of the Serpent Spear Douluo, Gu Yue's Family

The Spirit Hall is currently powerful and ambitious. They already have a huge advantage and prestige because of the subsidies they provide to Spirit Masters. If Grandmaster were to join the Spirit Hall, it would be a tremendous transformation and amplification of the Spirit Hall's influence in the Spirit Master world. At that time, it is possible that a single call would be answered by hundreds of Spirit Masters.

"Fortunately, the eldest prince was perceptive enough to recruit Tang Shan and Su Yuntao in advance. If they had actually come into contact with the core of the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Hall had noticed their connection with Grandmaster, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

The auction had already officially begun, but Ning Fengzhi had no interest in the items up for auction; his face was full of wishful thinking.

"They'll find out sooner or later."

Sword Douluo also realized the invisible crisis that Tang Shan might bring, and said in a deep voice: "The second ring of the millennium is still manageable. Various forces can still cultivate it by spending some money. However, as far as I know, no force has successfully cultivated the first ring of the millennium. Once Tang Shan's achievement is exposed, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Spirit Hall. It will only be a matter of time before they discover their connection with Grandmaster."

Ning Fengzhi's fingers tapped on the armrest of the luxurious chair, his eyes sharp and his gaze piercing.

"We must keep this a secret for as long as possible. We cannot expose it in the short term. We need to buy time for the Crown Prince and try to increase Tang Shan's sense of belonging to the Heavenly Dou Empire. Also, the fact that the Crown Prince has met Tang Shan suggests that he is destined to be the Crown Prince. It seems that I should propose to His Majesty that I become the Crown Prince's teacher as soon as possible. We cannot wait any longer."

"If Tang Shan's true strength is exposed, it may tempt many old guys in the Spirit Hall. Although I don't know the details of the Hall of Offerings, if even one of them makes a move, I may not be able to protect Tang Shan."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin stood aside and gave Ning Fengzhi a reminder.

call!

Ning Fengzhi rubbed his forehead, feeling that the current situation was indeed quite tricky.

Finally, he made a decision: "We don't need to worry about those old men in the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship. They haven't left the house in over a decade. We can only gamble that they don't care about Tangshan, and we can only gamble that even if they know, they won't bully the weak."

Last time, when Tang Hao killed the former Pope, they didn't even flinch; perhaps it will be the same this time. Regardless of how the Spirit Hall reacts after learning the truth, our current goal is to win over the Tang family and the First Prince.
