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

As she pondered this, Dugu Yan frowned when she heard that Yu Tianheng had included her in his challenge. She hadn't objected to Tang Shan receiving the same treatment as her, so what was wrong with Yu Tianheng? It was their first meeting, yet he spoke as if they were old friends—it was all so strange.

Having reached this point, Emperor Xueye, Ning Fengzhi, Dugu Bo, and the others present did not stop it, but instead all focused their attention on Tang Shan. They were equally curious about just how powerful his original martial soul could be.

"Tangshan, are you willing to accept Yu Tianheng's challenge?"

Emperor Xueye, who had some connection with Tangshan, asked the question. His meaning was clear: agree or disagree, and he would protect you.

"Your Majesty, I agree."

Tang Shan clasped his hands in agreement.

Emperor Xueye: "Very well, then you can have your match here. Don't worry about damaging the Imperial Garden; I'll have it repaired later."

Since the Great Emperor Xueye had spoken, Tang Shan no longer hesitated. He stood up and walked to a patch of grass outside the pavilion. Yu Tianheng was equally unceremonious, standing arrogantly opposite Tang Shan. He then took out a thin incense stick from his soul tool, snapped his fingers on the tip, a flash of brilliant lightning disappeared, and wisps of green smoke slowly drifted away.

"Seriously, buddy? You're really doing this? This incense is practically useless." Looking at Yu Tianheng's practiced movements, Tang Shan seriously suspected that the other man had probably done this kind of thing many times before.

"Yu Tianheng, Martial Soul Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, Level 24 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master."

Faced with the unique battle etiquette of Douluo Continent, Tang Shan's answer was rather perfunctory: "Tang Shan, level 23, Martial Soul True Form."

Unfazed by Tang Shan's perfunctory attitude, Yu Tianheng, now in battle mode, paid no heed. He placed the burning incense stick in the soil of the flowerbed, and then activated his martial spirit without hesitation.

Blue-purple lightning erupted from his body, weaving into a dense, crackling electric net, each arc of electricity accompanied by a sharp, tearing sound. Diamond-shaped dragon scales spread from his neck to his limbs, the edges of the scales gleaming with a metallic cold light, shimmering with a dark purple luster under the electric light; the muscles in his shoulders and back suddenly bulged, his bones crackling and popping, his body growing half a foot taller, his outline becoming even more robust and imposing, full of the explosive power unique to dragons.

The faint outline of pale golden dragon horns appeared on his forehead, and his eyes completely transformed into vertical pupils. A violent thunderous intent surged within his amber pupils, and an invisible dragon's might spread out as if it were a tangible force, causing the surrounding air to stagnate.

Two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, slowly rose from beneath his feet. The deep purple light of the thousand-year-old spirit ring was particularly intense, reflecting the blue lightning on his body and moving up and down rhythmically.

The second ring of the millennium! Compared to the original novel's configuration of two yellow and one purple characters, Yu Tianheng has achieved the second ring of the millennium in this timeline altered by Tangshan.

A wave of emotion surged through Tang Shan's heart; this was the first time he had so vividly felt that he had rewritten his original trajectory.

Yu Tianheng's development was so significantly derailed by his arrival, like a stone thrown into a lake, the ripples spreading and causing countless unknown changes.

This made him realize the wonder of the butterfly effect and also gave him more expectations for the future.

This is no longer the original Douluo Continent.

Chapter 125 Ning Fengzhi's Deliberate Exposure, and the Specific Effects of Dragon Transformation

Tangshan's martial spirit has long been in a state of normal activation and does not need to be specially released; he only needs to show his spirit rings.

Two thousand-year-old spirit rings, shimmering with a lustrous purple light, slowly rose from beneath his feet, pulsating rhythmically. The second spirit ring, in particular, was exceptionally deep; its rich, almost impenetrable color alone was enough to easily determine that its age was definitely not low.

At this moment, the others sitting around the table had already turned around, watching this contest between geniuses.

Even though they knew in advance, they still couldn't help but sigh when they saw the two purple spirit rings at the foot of Tangshan and the yellow and purple spirit rings around Yu Tianheng.

"The world is changing so fast. Seeing today's geniuses, I feel like I'm nothing compared to them."

Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right. Once the master's theory of martial souls came out, it basically rewrote the standard of geniuses. If you don't have the second ring of a thousand years, you're not a true genius; and if you achieve the first ring of a thousand years, you're a true prodigy."

Emperor Xueye lavishly praised the master, and also subtly complimented the genius with the first soul ring in a thousand years. Clearly, the "true prodigy" he was referring to was Tang Shan.

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Emperor Xueye with some surprise, seemingly lost in thought: Has Your Majesty not yet noticed the obvious connection between Tang Shan and the Master? Logically speaking, following the clue of Tang Shan should have given us a chance to find the Master.

"By the way, it seems that the Grandmaster hasn't released any new martial soul theories this year. Does anyone here have any information about him? I'd like to meet him; it's urgent."

Mentioning the Grandmaster, a glint of light flashed in Dugu Bo's emerald eyes. He suddenly realized that the Grandmaster was a mysterious and powerful figure who had devoted himself to the study of martial spirit theory. He wondered if the Grandmaster's extraordinary knowledge could resolve the hidden dangers in the Dugu family's martial spirit inheritance.

"I don't know. The Spirit Hall hasn't released any theories related to Grandmaster this year. They probably haven't received any theories."

Yu Xuancang tapped his fingers on the table, making a deduction.

"It's also possible that the master's theory was too shocking, or that his theory could create a large number of strong people, so the Spirit Hall forcibly suppressed this brand-new theory."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had been silent with his eyes slightly closed, slowly opened his eyes, turned his gaze to Tang Shan, and expressed his guess.

Upon hearing this, the pavilion fell into a brief silence, and everyone's expressions changed—this possibility was not nonexistent; on the contrary, the probability was quite high.

"Your Majesty Chenxin, what is your basis?"

Yu Xuancang's expression was solemn as he pressed for an answer in a deep voice.

"There is no basis for this; it's just speculation."

As he spoke, Sword Douluo glanced at Ning Fengzhi, and seeing him nod slightly, he continued, "There is another possibility, for example, that the master has taken on a disciple and is busy teaching him all day long, so he has no time to continue studying the theory? After all, don't we have a Soul Master genius in front of us who possesses a Body Martial Soul and whose first and second Soul Rings are both thousand-year-old ones?"

Upon hearing this, the people who had been reminded suddenly realized what was happening and all looked at Tang Shan. An uncontrollable thought arose in their minds: Could he be related to the master?

Xue Qinghe, who had been smiling, froze for a moment before regaining her composure, but inwardly she was already cursing Ning Fengzhi: You knew it yourself, so why did you expose the connection between Tangshan and the master? Did you think there weren't enough people watching Tangshan?

She couldn't believe that without Ning Fengzhi's subtle hint, Sword Douluo Chenxin would so casually mention the connection between Tangshan and the master.

……

"Xiaoxue will probably be quite busy for a while."

Hidden on the rooftop, Golden Crocodile Douluo watched with amusement. He didn't care whether Tang Shan's identity was exposed—only by truly spending time with Tang Shan could he discover the immense wealth and treasures Tang Shan had inherited from the Grandmaster. For example, he himself had only been able to break through his limits because of the Grandmaster's internal martial arts.

If one lacks sufficient understanding and relies solely on hearsay, then the various powers' assessments of the master will always be underestimates.

……

An old man watched the show from the shadows, while the people in the pavilion were deep in thought, and Tang Shan in the open space was ready to meet the challenge of an opponent of equal caliber.

Yu Tianheng, his body crackling with blue-purple lightning, stomped his feet hard on the ground, causing fine cracks to appear. He flew towards Tangshan like an arrow, and at the same time, his first spirit ring suddenly flashed.

First Soul Skill - Thunder Breath: Spits out a condensed blue-purple lightning bolt from the mouth to attack the opponent, possessing extremely strong destructive power.

Even the soul skills have changed?

The first spirit ring at the foot of Tangshan flashed, and his arms expanded and swelled at a visible speed. His muscles coiled like dragons, and his originally well-proportioned arms instantly became as thick as human legs. His skin shone with a bronze luster, and every inch of his muscles exuded an indestructible sense of power as he directly met Yu Tianheng's breath.

Boom! Sizzle—!

A dazzling bolt of lightning slammed into Tang Shan's arms, unleashing a deafening roar. The powerful lightning force spread throughout his body like wildly dancing silver snakes, sending waves of tingling numbness through his limbs and bones. Tang Shan's blood surged, his soul power raging like a raging torrent, forcefully suppressing the paralyzing effect of the lightning. His aura instantly boiling, he charged forward, meeting his opponent head-on like a cannonball.

The power attribute demonstrated its domineering effect for the first time: if it were just flesh and blood, Tang Shan's body would have been paralyzed for a long time under the opponent's attribute attack; but with the forced cancellation of the power attribute, he only felt a slight numbness in his body before regaining complete control of his body.

bang bang bang! ! !

The massive iron fist, accompanied by a muffled thud, collided repeatedly with Yu Tianheng's outstretched hand, each impact causing the air to vibrate. Tang Shan's fist possessed immense, unstoppable force, relentlessly forcing Yu Tianheng to retreat, his wrists numb and his blood churning. Every punch and kick from Tang Shan carried devastating power, and within just a few rounds, Yu Tianheng was already at a significant disadvantage.

Is this the joy of crushing noobs?

Tang Shan's face broke into an excited smile. His usual opponents were either Title Douluos or peak Douluos, making it impossible for him to accurately assess his own strength.

Although Tang Shan's opponent, Yu Tianheng, was of average strength, this encounter made him realize that he was terrifyingly powerful.

It's important to understand that Tang Shan activated his first soul skill primarily to defend against the opponent's lightning attack. He didn't utilize his own power amplification at all; in other words, he wasn't even unleashing his normal 100% power, let alone the power he could possess under god-level control.

It can only be said that with one outrageous spirit ring after another, coupled with the amplification of an excessive external spirit bone, Tang Shan's strength has begun to gradually become inhuman.

Bang bang bang!

Yu Tianheng felt as if his claws had struck a stone, leaving no effect whatsoever. The recoil even made his arm numb and his bones ache. He knew that if this continued, he would surely be defeated. Without hesitation, he activated his second soul skill—Thunder Dragon Body.

Second Soul Skill - Thunder Dragon Body: Increases attribute strength by 100% and other attributes by 50%.

The blue-purple lightning suddenly intensified, its original thickness of a rope instantly swelling to the thickness of a forearm. Crackling arcs of lightning coalesced around him, and as the dazzling light danced, his body expanded again, his bones creaking and his muscles becoming increasingly exaggerated. His swollen body tore his clothes inch by inch, and fine blue-purple dragon scales bulged from beneath his skin, shimmering with a cold metallic light under the lightning, making him appear even more magnificent and dangerous.

However, this is not over yet.

The battle just now made Yu Tianheng realize the gap between himself and Tang Shan. He was now questioning whether he could even last for the duration of an incense stick burning.

Although he recognized the gap in skill, he showed no intention of admitting defeat; on the contrary, he became even more unyielding. As a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and the eldest grandson of the clan leader, he absolutely could not admit defeat.

"Dragon Transformation, activated!"

Yu Tianheng let out a low roar, and the power of his bloodline erupted completely. Dragon Transformation is a special secret technique of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, which temporarily transforms the body into the form of a dragon; if one can reach the Soul Saint level, one will directly transform into a true dragon.

This description might be a little hard to understand, but in reality, it can be seen as allowing the soul masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan to achieve partial transformation of their martial souls into true forms ahead of schedule.

Click!

The already massive claws swelled to twice their original size, with sharp, three-inch-long claws protruding from the tips of the five claws, gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light; the arm thickened a second time, the muscles bulging like an inflated balloon, and dense, layered blue-purple dragon scales covered the entire right arm, all the way to the shoulder; violent blue-purple lightning crackled around it, containing a terrifying, heart-stopping power.

Tang Shan did not continue the pursuit, but carefully observed the entire process of Yu Tianheng's transformation into a dragon, pondering in his heart: If the martial soul true form is transformed in advance, and it is combined with the martial soul fusion state researched by his elder brother, can it reveal part of the power of the true beast soul true form that I guessed in advance?

"Tangshan, be careful! I might not be able to stop my attacks next. Please forgive me if I cause you any harm."

Surrounded by dazzling electric light, Yu Tianheng had lost his previous arrogance and was now only cautious.

"Come on, let me see the true power of the number one beast spirit in the world."

Now that the other party was no longer being aggressive, Tang Shan naturally wouldn't press the matter further. He beckoned to Yu Tianheng, signaling him to come at him.

Boom!!

The blue-purple lightning suddenly surged, and under the extreme stimulation of the lightning on his muscles, Yu Tianheng's speed suddenly increased. His figure turned into a blurry afterimage, and in a short breath, he was close to Tang Shan. His right hand, which had transformed into a true dragon arm, carried a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air and grabbed at Tang Shan's chest without hesitation.

……

Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced at Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had already opened his eyes and was ready to make a move at any moment, and curled his lips.

"Little guy, you still underestimate Tang Shan and his original spirit. That Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex kid is indeed not bad, but he is still far from being as good as Tang Shan."

……

Explosive lightning surged and poured down from the dragon's arm, instantly engulfing Tang Shan like a waterfall. The massive dragon arm, with its overwhelming force, struck Tang Shan's chest without hesitation.

"it is good!"

Tang Shan's exclamation of praise clearly emanated from within the lightning. Before Yu Tianheng could react, the enormous iron fist, accompanied by a ring of compressed air, broke through the lightning's barrier and slammed head-on into his chest. Tang Shan's last words still echoed in his ears:

"Since you've gone all out, then I'll show you what I'm capable of when I'm at my normal level."

boom! ! !

Chapter 126 A crushing defeat, the teacher's identity revealed

A fist the size of a large bowl, imbued with soul power, slammed head-on into Yu Tianheng's chest like a thunderbolt!

This time, Tang Shan will unleash the ultimate power that a god-level mastery should possess without reservation. The force of his punch, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, causes the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

boom!

Yu Tianheng instantly lost his balance and was violently blasted away by an overwhelming force! He crashed heavily to the ground with a dull thud, his body scraping violently against the soil, carving out a deep trench more than three feet wide and seven meters long.

As his body moved backward at great speed, the flying dirt piled up rapidly behind him, forming a slope. Thick, blue-purple electric sparks surged wildly across his body, unable to stop his movement, leaving several charred electric marks on both sides of the ravine.
