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

Tangshan first tested it on himself to confirm that there were no major problems with his horse stance, then extracted the key points, and then made targeted changes to his elder brother's body.

The more Tangshan studied training methods, the more he felt he didn't have enough control over himself.

To improve one's control over their body in a short period of time, it is probably only possible to do so after absorbing a soul ring and obtaining the desired soul skill.

Su Haichao walked into the house, looked at the two brothers supporting each other, nodded with satisfaction, and was about to continue speaking when there was a knock on the door of the small attic.

Tangshan was somewhat surprised; it was almost nightfall, and he wondered who would come to disturb him.

"You two go in first, I'll go take a look."

Tang Shan and Su Yuntao nodded and went into the living room first.

The faint sound of conversation reached Tang Shan's ears, and he frowned slightly. One of the voices was naturally his father's, and he didn't recognize the other voice, but its unpleasant tone had left a very deep impression on him.

“Palace Master Su, I have heard that your son is exceptionally talented and wish to take him as my disciple. I believe that under my tutelage, your son will definitely become a powerful figure renowned throughout the continent in the future.”

Listening to the endless chatter of the middle-aged man next to him with a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a sense of listlessness, apathy, or apathy) look, Su Haichao's eyes revealed a hint of impatience.

What a joke! You, with your connections, dare to train my son? Are you even qualified? My son is a master who has researched the Five Theories of Martial Soul. What makes you think you can teach him?

Although she didn't care about this person with connections, Su Haichao still put on a very good show. After all, he was a relative of the Holy Maiden, and before she could figure out what connection he had with the Holy Maiden, she decided to keep the peace.

The oblivious "master" continued his rambling, his eyes lighting up when he saw Tangshan sitting in the living room.

Looking at that distinctive face and those iconic hands clasped behind his back, Tang Shan's eyes narrowed unconsciously.

"Shanzi, let me introduce you. This is Yu Xiaogang, a martial spirit researcher who is staying at Notting Academy."

Su Haichao's words seemed ordinary, but they contained a lot of meaning.

Since he is a martial soul researcher, he should have no problem being a teacher. However, he specifically said that he was staying there instead of teaching at Notting Academy. There are many implications to this.

However, what Su Haichao didn't know was that Tang Shan probably knew the middle-aged man in front of him even better than he did.

After all, many of the martial soul theories he wrote were based on the research of this "master". It's just a mystery how the other party, without the support of martial soul theories in this life, still has the nerve to come and ask to take him as a disciple.

Seeing his future "disciple" remain unmoved in front of him, Yu Xiaogang was about to reprimand the other party for his lack of respect, but remembering that he was not familiar with this family, he forcibly suppressed his displeasure.

"I am Yu Xiaogang, born from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus. I once conducted martial spirit research in the library of the Spirit Hall in Spirit City. You can call me Master Yu."

Tang Shan's expression was somewhat stiff; he seemed to have a lot to complain about but didn't know where to begin.

Let's not even talk about your actual theoretical achievements. If you want to take me as your disciple, you should at least show me your skills first. You keep talking about the Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. What, are you trying to threaten me?

Although Yu Xiaogang was not a good person, he was not one to bully others with his power. In his opinion, once the genius from this small place learned about his background, he would naturally bow down and worship him, without having to show off his knowledge.

Faced with the abstract behavior of a certain "master", Tang Shan naturally wouldn't choose to confront him head-on. He's not a child who would insist on showing off and slapping him in the face.

Moreover, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him might not take his taunts to heart, but that crazy woman is another story.

For him, Yu Xiaogang was already his ideal woman, and after the experience in the "secret room," Yu Xiaogang's status in his heart rose even higher.

What you can't have always haunts you. After her hellish experience, Yu Xiaogang has become Bibi Dong's spiritual support and a glimmer of hope.

Otherwise, how could someone who has no face, no talent, and no strength possibly influence the "Pope"?

"Uncle Yu..."

Tangshan, who was awkwardly calling out whatever he wanted, sped up his speech.

"Since you are doing research at Nottingham College, I shall take the liberty of addressing you as Professor Yu."

Chapter 16 The Demeanor of a "Master," Unparalleled "Wisdom"

"Teacher Yu" is the name Tangshan used to refer to Yu Xiaogang after careful consideration.

As for the so-called "Jade Master," I'm very sorry, but it's really not appropriate to call someone who has no theoretical contributions and can only piece together some data without any outstanding achievements, Tang Shan.

However, Tangshan greatly overestimated someone's shamelessness.

"Since you call me teacher, I will not let you down. Tell me, what is your martial spirit? I will plan your future cultivation path for you."

Su Yuntao, who was sitting to the side listening to the conversation between the two, was already dumbfounded. How could a person be so shameless?

Su Haichao, who had always watched her son deal with things independently, also felt that it was very outrageous.

You came running over here all excitedly and said you wanted to take my son as your disciple, but to this day you still don't understand my son's martial spirit.

This is utterly outrageous.

Tang Shan also felt like his eyes had been opened, but he quickly came to his senses.

"My martial soul is a physical martial soul, encompassing my entire body."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened, his expression becoming indescribably strange.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his eyes filled with ecstasy, and then, inexplicably, he exuded an air of confidence.

"Very well, very well. I never expected to encounter a twin martial soul in this short journey to Nottingham. It seems I'll have to stick with it this time."

The strangely familiar language made Tang Shan's lips twitch uncontrollably, even though he was expecting the other person to make some kind of "earth-shattering statement." After hesitating for a moment, he asked somewhat tentatively, "What do you mean?"

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang, exuding confidence and with a "wise" glint in his eyes, put his hands behind his back, puffed out his chest, and spoke without hesitation.

"According to my research on the 'Ten Core Competitive Advantages of Martial Souls,' a weak Martial Soul cannot possibly have a high innate Soul Power. Since your Martial Soul is the original body, a notoriously useless Martial Soul, then there must be a stronger Martial Soul that endowed you with full innate Soul Power."

After saying that, the "master" paused for a moment, pretending to be serious, before continuing.

“I know that you are thinking of hiding this child’s talent based on the idea that ‘the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind.’ This is indeed commendable. But you never expected that you would meet me.”

As he spoke, he slightly raised his chin, a hint of smugness in his expression.

"With my extraordinary wisdom, I have long since seen through the truth hidden beneath your layers of deception. Now, you should no longer doubt my knowledge."

"Tangshan, I'm giving you a chance. Become my disciple now, and I'll not only take you to see the scenery of the continent's highest peaks, but I'll also get you the cultivation method for twin martial souls. No one is more suitable to be your teacher than me!"

His final words were powerful and resounding, leaving a lingering echo that lasted for a long time.

As the sound faded, the room fell into a brief silence.

Su Yuntao and his son Su Haichao were somewhat confused by the sheer volume of information in the other party's words, while Tang Shan himself didn't know where to begin refuting the other party's statement.

Looking at the three people who had fallen silent, Yu Xiaogang felt much better, as he had been feeling down because of the master.

Sure enough, my theory was correct. Those so-called masters didn't understand martial spirit research at all.

"This is Teacher Yu."

Su Yuntao, unable to contain herself any longer, spoke up awkwardly first.

He cautiously looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, afraid that if he said something wrong, the man would collapse in his house. He had also heard his father talk about this man's background. If something really happened to him, his family would have a hard time explaining it to the Spirit Hall.

The other person's eyes are bloodshot and their face is flushed; they seem a bit overly excited.

"Cough cough..."

Tao cleared his throat, looking very serious.

“My little brother does indeed only have one martial soul, and it is indeed his own martial soul. It also has full soul power. Teacher Yu, are you sure you've made a mistake?”

"That's impossible. Don't worry, I would never spread rumors."

Upon hearing that his guess was wrong, Yu Xiaogang denied it without hesitation. However, after carefully observing the three people's seemingly genuine expressions, he had a bad feeling.

They probably aren't telling the truth.

"I do indeed only have one physical martial soul."

Tang Shan unhesitatingly activated his martial spirit, letting his body roam freely amidst the raging flames.

"This is my martial spirit, myself."

As he spoke, he stretched out his left and right hands in front of Yu Xiaogang.

"You see, there are no soul imprints representing martial spirits on the backs of either hand."

Then he pointed to his forehead.

"The soul imprint of my main martial soul is on my forehead; it can be displayed or retracted."

As he spoke, a coin-sized line, resembling a simple sketch of a human figure, appeared on Tangshan's forehead.

Yu Xiaogang, speechless, hesitated for a long time before suddenly clapping his hands.

“I understand, Xiaoshan. You must have another martial soul that hasn’t been awakened yet. You can choose to become my disciple, and I can find a way to help you awaken your second martial soul.”

Good heavens, Tangshan is truly stunned by this "master's" outrageous theories. He just clings to his own theories so stubbornly, this kind of person is really...

"Alright, I understand what you mean. It seems we are indeed destined to be apart. My true disciple may be yet to come. I won't bother you any longer. Farewell."

"Master Yu" didn't know what he was imagining again. With an expression of utter regret, he shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and swayed as he walked towards the door.

"Teacher Yu, let me see you off."

Su Haichao, who had remained silent the whole time, made his presence known at this moment, and only returned after escorting the other person to the door.

Hearing the door close behind him, Yu Xiaogang didn't care at all, continuing to wear an expression of "not appreciating kindness" until he turned a corner before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a pathetic martial spirit! He's not worthy of being my disciple. Luckily, I'm smart enough to catch them off guard and tell them in time that I have some unawakened martial spirits. That fooled them. Otherwise, if Tang Shan really became my disciple, what would happen if he was incompetent? That would be bad for my reputation."

Yu Xiaogang considered himself a smart man. Since the whole family definitely only had one martial soul, and he could use his ability to see through people's hearts to confirm that they were not lying, what was there to do there?

Even with innate full soul power, what kind of development can a useless martial soul have?

All I can say is that the kid was incredibly lucky to awaken his innate full soul power. I wish I had that talent.

As he pondered this, an uncontrollable jealousy welled up in the eyes of our "Master Yu".

He had never considered whether there was a problem with his theory. He was the incredibly wise Yu Xiaogang; how could his theory be wrong? Even after reading the five treatises on martial spirit that had been released, he still believed it to be so.

Everyone is different, so generalizations cannot be made. There are definitely people who awaken a useless martial soul and a top-tier martial soul with innate full soul power, but he hasn't encountered one yet.

I want to use that useless martial soul master to tell everyone on the continent that there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters.

At home, the father and his two sons looked at each other and fell into a brief silence.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly remembering something, Su Yuntao couldn't help but burst out laughing. He slapped Tang Shan's thigh while letting out a loud laugh.

“Xiaoshan, hahaha! Xiaoshan... little brother, I never expected this ‘master’ to give you such a nickname.”

A smile appeared on Su Haichao's face; the way the other person addressed him before leaving had really shocked him.

Tang Shan was also speechless. Putting aside the inexplicable "Xiao Shan" that the "master" called out as he left, his skill of seizing the opportunity was far beyond Tang Shan's reach. The last words, "destined to meet but not to be together," sent a chill down his spine.

No, you know how to use idioms, you even used "destined to meet but not to be together" (有畣無份). This is probably the first time we've met.

Is it true that moderate exercise attracts the opposite sex, while excessive exercise attracts the same sex?

Tang Shan hesitated, looking at himself and then at his older brother. His brother had recently tried to accept Sisi, but there was clearly no sign of that. He knew himself even better: male, with a preference for women.

Besides, I'm just a six-year-old child. A person can't, or at least shouldn't, do that.

Having finally shaken off the shadow cast by someone, Su Haichao remembered something and went to Tangshan for physiognomy.

"Shanzi, your martial spirit has been reported. Bishop Salas asked if you want to attend the Martial Spirit Academy."

Tang Shan thought for a moment and shook his head.

"I haven't thought that far ahead yet. Let's discuss this after I acquire my first soul ring."

Su Haichao nodded slightly and continued, "These days, many high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall have inquired whether there is still the Sixth Treatise on Spirit. Shanzi, what do you say? Will you focus on cultivation or continue to maintain your status as a master?"

"Let's maintain this for a few more years and see. It won't waste much time anyway. I've already got inspiration for the sixth chapter."

Tang Shan's face showed a hint of ill intent. Recalling how someone kept saying "useless martial spirit" and "useless martial spirit," he couldn't help but feel angry.

Because of a certain mentally ill saintess, I can't criticize you to your face, but what does it have to do with you that I'm posting theories under a pseudonym? It just happens to refute your argument about useless martial spirits. If you're angry, it has little to do with me.

Back in his room, Tang Shan felt he was in the best possible condition. He didn't know if it was due to the stimulation from the "master," but he felt his thoughts flowing like a spring.

He wrote a lengthy treatise, "The Sixth Theory of Martial Soul," in a short period of time.

The Sixth Treatise on Martial Souls:

Today, I received a reminder from a worthy opponent, which gave me some insights, hence this sixth essay.

As previously mentioned, the level of innate soul power is related to the quality of the martial soul itself.

If that's the case, what if there's a Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power or a martial soul with full soul power?

I speculate that this type of martial soul is not a truly useless martial soul, but rather, like awakened innate soul power, it possesses extremely high potential, but has not yet found a suitable way to cultivate and develop it.

Leaving aside the discussion of the innate martial soul, we can only say that its future is promising, but it lacks the correct cultivation method. I will take the Blue Silver Grass as an example.
