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

While waiting for the meat to cook, Su Yuntao still had some doubts. Could a mere blacksmithing skill really be turned into something magical in Tangshan's hands?

"It has the potential, but I may not be able to develop it."

Tangshan's answer was very cautious, after all, he had not yet truly mastered even normal forging, and it was hard to say what the outcome would be.

"Brother, how's the harvest these past few days?"

Tang Shan stopped talking about his own affairs and instead asked Su Yuntao about her gains from participating in the Soul Fighting event these past few days.

Upon hearing the inquiry about fighting spirits, Su Yuntao immediately became interested, her eyes lighting up.

“Little brother, you were right. Apart from the first opponent we encountered that day, the rest of our opponents are much more experienced in combat. It’s much more troublesome to defeat them than to deal with that guy called ‘Blade Dragon.’ Fortunately, your big brother has won every battle and is currently undefeated.”

Tang Shan was not surprised at all by Su Yuntao's winning streak. After all, the second soul ring of a thousand years is no joke. Even without the second soul ring of a thousand years, Su Yuntao can basically crush opponents of the same level in terms of both willpower and physical quality.

Having better physical coordination, faster nerve reflexes, and greater strength than others—these seemingly minor factors accumulate to create an unparalleled advantage.

"What about creating your own soul skills?"

Tangshan asked curiously.

"Some gains."

Su Yuntao's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

"Under the pressure of my opponents, I gained some understanding of the offensive and defensive techniques of wolf-type soul beasts. However, as my combat experience increased, soon there were few people who could put pressure on me. The last one who almost made me lose was a control-type beast martial soul master."

"A control-type beast spirit master?"

Tang Shan became somewhat interested, since the vast majority of control-type Soul Masters are weapon Soul Masters. Whether it's manipulating ropes and vines or using staffs to activate elements, they all belong to the category of tools.

"That's right, she's a Beast Spirit Master with a control-type martial soul. Her martial soul is a venomous snake, and both of her soul rings release poisonous mist that she controls. The first soul ring can slow people down, and the second soul ring can obscure vision. Inhaling too much can also cause dizziness."

A hint of lingering fear flashed across Su Yuntao's face.

"That woman's two control-type soul skills were one thing, but her close combat ability was also extremely strong. If I hadn't caught her off guard and unleashed a burst of power, I probably would have really lost."

Listening to Su Yuntao recount his battle experiences, Tang Shan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Douluo Continent was truly wondrous. The original work only depicted a relatively core part, and what he was seeing now was the brilliance that had never been touched upon by the pen.

"What about the battles that follow? Does that mean no one will be willing to fight you anymore?"

Su Yuntao nodded helplessly: "After that, my reputation spread far and wide. Many great soul masters know that there is now a two-ring soul master with a second soul ring in a thousand years who spends all day in the Soul Arena. After that, it takes several hours to meet an opponent. You should know that before that, apart from recovering my soul power, I was basically always in battle."

"Then you can try signing up for the two-player Soul Fighting game, brother."

Tangshan offered suggestions.

"I've thought about it, but I don't have any teammates. I can't just pick anyone."

Su Yuntao had obviously had this idea as well, but he was unable to realize it.

"Then you can choose to fight two at once, brother. Didn't you think there was no pressure? Now the pressure of fighting two at once is definitely enough. If you can beat two at once, you can even try to challenge the Soul Master."

This time, faced with Tangshan's idea, Su Yuntao fell into deep thought.

However, after three days of fighting, he gained a clear understanding of his own strength. He realized that having low innate soul power did not necessarily mean being weak. True strength could only be known after a fight.

At the Great Soul Master stage, unless he encounters a control-type Great Soul Master who can extremely counter him, all other opponents are like rotten fish and shrimp, and ordinary control-type Soul Masters are no exception.

As the saying goes, "a frog in a well has no view of the sky," as long as he doesn't encounter an enemy who is truly beyond his level, Su Yuntao is the king of the Great Soul Master stage.

"Okay! Tomorrow? No, I'll sign up for the two-person Soul Fighting right now. I'll take on both of them by myself!"

A fierce fighting spirit rekindled in Su Yuntao's eyes, and a vigorous fighting will emerged from his body.

Smack smack!

Tang Shan picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of mutton from the grill that exuded a rich aroma, and put it in his mouth. He chewed it slowly, and the rich fat, along with the meaty fragrance, exploded in his mouth, sweeping over his taste buds.

Su Yuntao looked at Tang Shan speechlessly. She was in high spirits, but her little brother had already swept away the enemy like a whirlwind.

"No one can be this shameless."

Su Yuntao complained, but his hands moved without hesitation. He knew Tang Shan's appetite; if he was any slower, he would probably have to wait for the next batch to be cooked before he could eat.

Why is this restaurant called Forest Roasted Lamb?

Tang Shan chewed on his barbecue while asking Su Yuntao.

Su Yuntao was clearly not visiting this store for the first time; she knew the store's situation much better than Tang Shan did.

"Rumor has it that the mutton here all comes from sheep-like spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, but the breeds vary, and which one you get depends entirely on the beast!"

"In that case, this shop must be quite powerful. Otherwise, even with different varieties, it would be no easy feat to continuously obtain sheep-type soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest."

After a moment's thought, Tangshan made a judgment.

Su Yuntao nodded: "I heard that the owner of this shop is related to a branch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

At that moment, two more customers walked into the store.

"Boss, four catties of mutton, please."

A gentle voice rang out, and Tang Shan turned his head to look at the source of the sound, where he saw two figures, one tall and one short.

Actually, the shorter person was also about 1.8 meters tall, but the person next to him was just too tall.

It was an old man, over two meters tall, with a broad frame but little flesh, almost skin and bones. His face looked somewhat frightening, and his whole body was covered in thick, bony bones, with his shoulder blades protruding from his black robe.

The boss was clearly startled by the other person's terrifying appearance. Fortunately, the middle-aged man next to him was extremely patient. After the boss came to his senses, he slowly stated his needs.

The middle-aged man's attire gave the first impression of being luxurious and clean, exuding an air of nobility that came from someone who had long held a high position, and his every move was like that of a nobleman.

He had a handsome face, gentle eyes, and an air of refined elegance.

Upon seeing this attire, Tang Shan's pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, continuing to eat and chat casually with Su Yuntao. Meanwhile, a wisp of soul power quietly reached around his ears, amplifying his hearing.

Fortunately, Tang Shan possessed a physical martial soul, and his internal soul power usually did not fluctuate. Otherwise, if his guess about the other party's identity was correct, the old man might have noticed him using his soul power to enhance his hearing. After all, the perception of a titled Douluo should not be underestimated.

"Fengzhi, please sit in the back."

The withered old man looked at the refined middle-aged man.

The man called Fengzhi nodded slightly, and the two walked past Tang Shan and Su Yuntao, sitting down at the end of the shop.

By this time, including the two people from Tangshan and the two who had just entered, the Forest Roasted Lamb Restaurant was already full, which shows that the roasted lamb here is indeed delicious.

"Uncle Gu, thank you for coming all this way with me."

The middle-aged man's voice reached Tang Shan's ears, further confirming his suspicions.

“It’s alright. I’m just idle in the sect anyway. Now that my cultivation has hit a bottleneck, it’ll probably be difficult for me to break through in this lifetime. It’s nice to come out for a walk. It’s just that that ‘old rascal’ must be bored.”

The old man's voice carried a hint of schadenfreude; clearly, making the "old scoundrel" he spoke of bored was enough to make him happy.

"Uncle Gu, you and Uncle Jian have been competing for so many years, why continue to compete?"

"Hehe, who told that guy to say my defense was so weak? If it weren't for his high cultivation level, and if we were of the same level in terms of soul power, let's see if he could beat me!"

The two did not use any secret telepathy techniques, and obviously did not realize that their words revealed any secrets.

"Fengzhi, Shuyu's baby is due soon. Have you thought about what name to give it?"

"If it's a boy, we'll name him Jiu (Nine), and hopefully his martial spirit will live up to his name. As for a girl, Shuyu and I have discussed it, and we'll name her Rongrong."

"Ning Rongrong, what a good name, it's really a good name."

As expected, it was Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Gu Rong, the defensive titled Douluo, the Bone Douluo. I never expected to encounter the two of them in Star City.

Tang Shan temporarily lost interest in enjoying the food and began to ponder the purpose of their visit to Star City.

He had his suspicions as soon as the two stepped into the store. After all, there were many gentle and refined people on the Douluo Continent, and there might be some who looked like Bone Douluo, but such a distinctive combination of features was probably unique in the entire Douluo Continent.

Their subsequent conversation completely confirmed his suspicions.

The "old bastard" that Bone Douluo mentioned is likely Sword Douluo Chenxin, and the unborn child of Ning Fengzhi should be the future "witch" Ning Rongrong.

Tang Shan ruled out the possibility that they weren't targeting the Grandmaster. Up to this moment, only three people in the entire Douluo Continent knew the Grandmaster's identity: Su Haichao, Su Yuntao, and the Grandmaster himself. No one else knew.

Could it be for the sake of the eldest brother?

Remembering Su Yuntao's second soul ring of a thousand years, Tang Shan quickly dismissed the idea. If Su Yuntao were currently the only person on the Douluo Continent with a second soul ring of a thousand years, it would be understandable why the two valued him so much. However, he was not the only one with a second soul ring of a thousand years. With the strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, creating such a genius, while not easy, was certainly not difficult either.

Fortunately, the other party did not keep Tangshan in doubt for long and soon revealed the truth.

PS: Please add to your favorites, follow, vote, recommend, and comment. I would be extremely grateful for anything. Don't worry, she won't join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; it's just a simple, accidental encounter. Also, let me preface this by saying that my use of the terms "Rogue Rabbit" and "Witch" should give you an idea of ​​my feelings towards these two female characters. The first one is self-explanatory; after all, she's a 100,000-year-old soul beast, not some "Silver Dragon Fish." I really can't imagine what a female rabbit went through in 100,000 years. As for the "Witch," it's purely a clash between the protagonist's personality and her original personality. The protagonist can't possibly agree with her, and considering the influence of her explosive language in the original work, I don't have a good impression of her. If this doesn't match everyone's expectations of the female lead, I sincerely apologize.

Chapter 37 Two Against One Soul Battle, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Attention

"Uncle Gu, do you have any way to enhance the survival ability of us support-type Soul Masters? Simply relying on the black and gold armor is ultimately not much better than nothing in terms of defense."

Ning Fengzhi looked at the Bone Douluo in front of him.

"I don't have much of a way either. There are only a few ways to improve your survival ability: either create your own soul skill, rely on soul bones, or find some rare defensive soul guides in the ruins."

The ancient banyan tree's withered fingers picked up a piece of raw mutton and placed it on the grill, then sprinkled some seasoning on it.

"Support-type Soul Masters are destined to rely on their partners. It is really difficult for them to have considerable survival ability or combat power on their own."

Ning Fengzhi sighed helplessly.

"If all else fails, we'll have to increase the black gold content in the black gold armor. Our sect's higher-ups should also switch to armor made of pure black gold. I'll go back to the Iron Dragon Blacksmith Shop in a few days. After all, it concerns our lives and fortunes, so we can't afford to be careless."

Tangshan could no longer hear what was said after that, which meant that the two had begun to communicate secretly using telepathy.

They were just there to buy armor.

Tang Shan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't specifically aimed at him.

"Young man, try this."

Su Yuntao took a huge roasted lamb leg from the oven and handed it to Tang Shan.

Tangshan didn't hold back, grabbing it and biting down instantly.

The crispy, tender, crunchy, and fragrant flavors burst and blend in your mouth, causing your saliva to flow like crazy.

Tearing off a large piece of meat and chewing it carefully, it's fatty but not greasy, tender but not dry.

“Delicious!”

Tang Shan kept talking while praising the words.

Su Yuntao raised her chin smugly.

"How is it? The taste is pretty good, isn't it?"

Tang Shan nodded vigorously.

"Boss, bring me two more large lamb legs!"

Su Yuntao called out in the direction of the boss.

"okay!"

The owner worked quickly, preparing the lamb leg and soon delivering it to Tangshan's table.

Half an hour later, the two brothers, having eaten and drunk their fill, leaned back in their chairs, too lazy to move.

"Little brother, do you think I can take on two opponents at once?"

Su Yuntao asked casually.

Tang Shan's eyes flashed.

"Why don't you try it and see?"

"Okay, I'll rest a bit more. Once I've digested it a bit more, I'll sign up for the Great Soul Master 1v2 Soul Battle."

About fifteen minutes later, Su Yuntao stood up and stretched, her bones cracking.

"Little brother, would you like to come along and take a look?"

Tang Shan nodded, then pretended to glance around the shops.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

After saying that, the two got up and left the store.

"Feng Zhi, did you hear that? A Great Soul Master is trying to take on two opponents at once."

Gu Rong put the last piece of mutton into his mouth, his tone showing a hint of interest.

"Uncle Gu, how about we go check out the Soul Arena later?"

Ning Fengzhi proposed.

"But didn't Ke Shuyu also want to eat the lamb from this restaurant? Should we bring some back for her?"
