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

Upon learning of the discovery in Tangshan, Serpent Spear Douluo quickly arrived, looking at the somewhat deep forest and then at the gradually setting sun.

"Let's rest here for a day and then catch up tomorrow to see what's going on. Since the initial signs of migration are still there, the subsequent signs probably won't disappear so easily either. There's no rush."

Tang Shan did not object to the Serpent Spear Douluo's suggestion. As the other party said, the traces were unlikely to disappear so quickly. If something unexpected happened on that day that caused the traces to disappear, perhaps it was simply fate.

The two of them took out tents from their storage soul tools and quickly set them up.

Snake Spear Douluo put down what he was doing and looked at Tang Shan, saying, "Would you like to test your combat power after breaking through to the Transformation Realm?"

The light in his eyes revealed his great curiosity about the so-called "transformation of strength".

Tang Shan hadn't expected such a good thing. He had come directly to the Star Dou Great Forest after breaking through, and he didn't yet have a clear understanding of his own combat strength. However, once he clashed with Serpent Spear Douluo, he would be able to make a judgment very quickly.

"Be careful, senior."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Shan leaped into the air like an arrow released from a bow. His body was pulled by the air currents, making a sharp whistling sound. He lightly touched the ground with his feet, and his whole body, wrapped in a strong wind, rushed towards Snake Spear Douluo.

A glint flashed in Serpent Spear Douluo's eyes. With a flick of his wrist, he grasped the jet-black serpent spear in his hand. The spear shaft was swirling with chilling and sharp soul power fluctuations, and faint snake-scale-like patterns lit up. A cold and malevolent aura swept over him.

As Tang Shan's figure closed in, Serpent Spear Douluo suddenly flicked his wrist, like a serpent emerging from its hole, accompanied by a sharp "hum" that cut through the air.

The spearhead gleamed coldly, precisely targeting Tang Shan's vital points, including his brow, throat, and dantian.

The cold glints, like sparks of stars, instantly blocked Tangshan's escape routes.

brush!

Tang Shan felt a sudden chill run down his spine, a bone-chilling sense of crisis coursing through his body like an electric current, as if countless ice needles were pressing against his skin—an instinctive warning triggered by his internal energy cultivation.

He could clearly feel that the tip of the spear was like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, carrying a heart-palpitating sense of oppression.

Faced with attacks aimed at every vital point on his body, Tang Shan remained fearless.

Soul power surged into his palm like a tide. He joined his five fingers together and unleashed a series of palm strikes with a whooshing sound, precisely deflecting each powerful attack that was within arm's reach. At the same time, his body plummeted like a lead weight, the powerful wind surrounding him creating waves of air.

With a flick of his wrist, the Serpent Spear Douluo twisted and deformed the spear in his hand, making it resemble a living, dark serpent. The spear's scale-like cold light flowed across its body, carrying a sinister and venomous arc, as it cunningly coiled around Tang Shan.

Clap clap clap clap!

Tang Shan's hands moved with lightning speed, the dense slapping sounds forming a continuous series. To onlookers, his arms had already turned into blurry phantoms, so fast that only fleeting afterimages could be caught, making it impossible to discern the trajectory of his moves.

In terms of sheer power, Serpent Spear Douluo was clearly far inferior to him; however, in terms of the shrewdness in seizing opportunities in battle and the combat experience accumulated over many years, he was clearly at a disadvantage.

An invisible gale raged wildly between the two as their fists and spears clashed, the air currents it stirred up cutting through the ground like sharp blades. Fallen leaves on the ground were swept up by the force of the air and flew everywhere. Before they even hit the ground, they were crushed into dust by the aftershocks of the clash and scattered all over the ground.

The spear suddenly thrust forward, its sharp point aimed straight for his throat. Tang Shan instinctively raised his hand to block, but just as his fingertips touched the spear shaft, the spear tip mysteriously sank, changing direction like a snake flicking its tongue, aiming straight for the open space in his shoulder.

Clearly, after several rounds of fighting, Snake Spear Douluo had figured out a way to evade Tang Shan's instinctive perception.

The endless barrage of spear shadows, like layers upon layers of raging waves, completely suppressed Tangshan. The impenetrable offensive was like a torrential downpour, each strike carrying a chilling killing intent and radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Is this my limit before I activated my Martial Soul?

Tang Shan felt the defense crumbling, took a deep breath, and then released his martial spirit without hesitation.

His body suddenly swelled up, his knotted muscles bulged like rocks, and his tendons protruded like dragons. His internal blood and qi were like a blazing furnace, surging and boiling wildly in his meridians, emitting a dull roar.

An invisible aura suddenly surged up from his body.

He gripped the spear aimed at his brow with his right hand, clearly feeling the violent energy emanating from the spear. The purple soul ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up, and a dense purple halo spread out like a tide.

His entire left arm swelled wildly again, with dark blue veins coiled around it like strong hemp ropes or twisted, winding snakes, exuding a chilling sense of power.

The physical changes were secondary; the most crucial thing was his exquisite control and perception of force.

With his superior control at the pseudo-god level, Tang Shan instantly detected a slight stagnation in the power of the Serpent Spear Douluo. He gently trembled his hand, seemingly with far less strength than the other, yet he managed to twist the Serpent Spear by half an inch.

Just as the spear deflected, Tang Shan slammed his left foot into the ground, the earth beneath him groaning under the weight. His thigh, now swollen twice, unleashed unparalleled, ferocious power, his entire body's strength perfectly harnessed to explode. His figure shot towards the spear-wielding douluo like an arrow piercing the air, leaving only a deep footprint, without a single crack around it. This demonstrated the exquisite control Tang Shan possessed over his power.

"It's always like this."

The Serpent Spear Douluo was already prepared when his martial soul was shaken.

After all, in their previous encounter, his opponent had relied on this keen insight to discern the flaws in his power flow and then launch a close-range attack.

Even though he had already corrected his method of exerting force, Tang Shan still managed to spot the subtle flaw that he himself hadn't even noticed.

Isn't this a good thing? It's not terrible to have flaws; what's terrible is that flaws objectively exist but never get discovered.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Shan had closed in on them, and countless fist shadows rained down like a storm, tearing through the air and emitting a muffled whistling sound.

This time, Serpent Spear Douluo could no longer rely on his spear to defend himself. His powerful soul energy surged into his palm like a tidal wave, and with his physique far surpassing Tang Shan's, he managed to withstand this fierce attack. However, after only blocking a few moves, Serpent Spear Douluo's expression changed slightly.

A variety of distinct forces, some subtle and cunning, some fierce and domineering, some vicious and ruthless, some sharp and fierce, erupted from Tang Shan's fists, flowing into his arms along with his clashing palms, like thousands of steel needles piercing him, bringing a sense of discomfort.

"How is that possible?"

The Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief. He knew the soul power imbued in his palms wasn't just for show; how could it be so easily invaded by this force?

Boom boom boom boom!

The sound of fists colliding with palms was like a thunderclap, and the violent shockwaves distorted the surrounding air. The two fighters clashed repeatedly in the forest, and wherever they passed, towering ancient trees snapped and fell, leaving the ground riddled with craters and spiderweb-like cracks spreading in all directions.

"Senior, there's no need to be alarmed. Soul power is soul power, and physical strength is physical strength; they cannot be confused."

Tangshan's body was like a burning torch, radiating an astonishing heat. His skin was as red as a branding iron, and his internal energy and blood had already reached their peak, like a dragon churning the seas.

As he spoke, scalding hot air billowed from his mouth and nose, turning into wisps of white mist that rose gently, revealing the terrifying temperature inside his body.

As the fight intensified, their attack speed increased involuntarily, and the intensity of the battle continued to rise.

The Serpent Spear Douluo stopped speaking and gradually activated his own strength. He keenly sensed that Tang Shan's aura was undergoing a transformation, as if he was about to achieve a breakthrough.

Swift action against swift action, violence against violence!

Every collision is a pure clash of forces, every exchange is a head-on confrontation, and even the most exquisite techniques exist only to unleash even greater power.

The blood and qi surged, breaking through the body's limits and climbing to an unprecedented peak;

Soul power surged and roared through the meridians like a raging torrent, then flowed continuously into the fists and feet, mingling with the boiling blood and qi, amplifying the power of every inch of muscle, as if it wanted to burn and boil together with the blood and qi.

His mental energy was both extremely active and extremely dormant.

He was so active that he clearly imprinted every minute movement of the Serpent Spear Douluo into his mind, frantically deducing and analyzing it in his consciousness to find the most perfect countermeasure;

Every punch and kick from Tangshan, which had been dormant until now, had broken free from the shackles of thought and transformed into the body's instinctive counterattack.

When the three elements of essence, energy, and spirit simultaneously reach their peak, as if to achieve some kind of qualitative sublimation, an invisible will begins to slowly condense within Tang Shan.

Although that will was still in its infancy, it already exuded a chilling sharpness, as if a primordial beast was being conceived within it.

Sensing the nascent will within Tang Shan, Serpent Spear Douluo's eyes narrowed, and a stern smile appeared on his lips: Since you have this opportunity, why shouldn't I lend you a hand!

In the blink of an eye, an indomitable yet ruthless will was channeled into his fists, which he then fiercely met with Tang Shan's powerful punch.

Willpower is a formless thing; when applied to a fist, it becomes the intent of a fist; when attached to a knife, it becomes the intent of a knife.

Even though the will of the Serpent Spear Douluo was most compatible with his martial soul Serpent Spear, when it was added to his fists, it still unleashed extremely terrifying power, tearing the air apart wherever the fist wind passed.

P.S.: The protagonist is about to comprehend his will. That concludes today's two chapters. Thank you all for your support; I am extremely grateful.

Chapter 94: A Sudden Enlightenment Just a Step Away, and the Perfectly Timed Muscle Ape (Please Subscribe and Follow)

The will of the Serpent Spear Douluo was like a fuse that precisely ignited a powder keg, instantly causing a violent resonance among the spirits of Tangshan, which soared to an extremely mysterious level, and the will began to rapidly sublimate and condense.

However, upon witnessing this scene, a trace of worry immediately crossed the aged face of the Serpent Spear Douluo. He almost instantly saw through the problem with Tang Shan's breakthrough.

This was ultimately just a friendly competition, not a real life-or-death battle.

Even if Tangshan managed to capture that spark of enlightenment and try to forge his own will, at the final moment of the will's sublimation, he would definitely lack that ruthless determination to go all out, and that resolute determination to forge ahead without ever looking back.

Even if this breakthrough fails, it won't cause Tang Shan any real damage. In fact, since he has already reached the threshold of comprehending willpower, he will be more likely to seize similar opportunities in the future. But the premise is that there will be another chance.

Opportunities to comprehend one's will are rare and precious; they cannot be obtained simply by wishing for them.

No one knows this better than Serpent Spear Douluo himself.

When he comprehended his will, he was already a seven-ring Soul Saint. However, because his fifth Soul Ring was just an ordinary purple, even though he had joined the ranks of Soul Saints, he was always looked down upon by Soul Masters of the same level.

Not to mention that his martial soul is a snake spear, and his self-created spear technique is inherently imbued with the ruthlessness and cunning of a snake, a style that is least favored by high-level soul masters.

Especially for orthodox weapon spirit masters, in their eyes, ruthlessness and viciousness are the exclusive domain of short weapons like daggers. Long weapons like the serpent spear, with their sweeping and powerful attacks, should follow the path of righteousness. Even if the spirit itself carries some ruthlessness, it should be honed towards the fierce and powerful aspects of the dragon spear, rather than being bound by the nature of the serpent spear.

Later, someone else said something similar to him. The person who gave him that advice was the current sect leader of the Haotian Sect and the father of the famous Haotian Twin Stars.

A confluence of factors led Serpent Spear Douluo to deeply doubt his path of cultivation. It was during those days of hesitation that he finally understood his true self, solidified his chosen path, and ultimately comprehended the essence of the spear. His subsequent cultivation progressed smoothly, reaching the pinnacle of Soul Douluo. Later, with the support of the Spirit Hall, he became the Serpent Spear Douluo he is today.

She Long's process of comprehending the spear's meaning was full of various coincidences and was by no means smooth. He dared not imagine when Tang Shan would have another chance to seize the opportunity for enlightenment if he missed this opportunity.

However, his confrontation with Tangshan was not a life-or-death battle, and he simply couldn't match Tangshan's ruthless, all-or-nothing spirit.

Never mind! Let's stabilize this kid's comprehension state first. Even if he can't break through in one go, we have to make sure he gets every last drop of this opportunity!

Serpent Spear Douluo's eyes narrowed. Without summoning his martial soul, he relied solely on his superior physical attributes and soul power, far surpassing Tang Shan's, to raise his fists and palms and engage in a head-on confrontation with Tang Shan.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

The muffled thud of fists colliding was like a series of heavy hammer blows into the air. With each collision, Tang Shan's aura surged, propelling him towards the peak like a rocket, his inner energy burning ever brighter. That overwhelmingly abundant aura was like a blazing flame, making even the surrounding air seem scorching.

"We're nearing our limit." She Long made a quick judgment in his mind. Tangshan's momentum had reached its peak, and the moment of decline was about to arrive.

It's a pity that such a rare opportunity to comprehend the meaning of the spear will be wasted.

Even now, Serpent Spear Douluo still hasn't figured out how to help Tangshan breathe its last breath.

Unless an enemy appears now! It doesn't need to be strong, it doesn't need to force Tangshan to fight to the death, as long as it can be put under enough pressure, it can break through that final hurdle in one go.

Where can you find such a suitable opponent?

Serpent Spear Douluo sighed inwardly, preparing to slowly withdraw his power to match Tang Shan's descent. But just then, he suddenly raised his head, gazing into the depths of the forest. His powerful spiritual energy swept across like lightning, then instantly receded. The next second, an excited smile suddenly bloomed on his aged face.

"You've searched high and low without finding it, but it's right here without any effort! Tangshan, your opportunity has arrived, so be ready to seize it!"

The powerful voice precisely penetrated Tangshan's ears through a subtle sound transmission technique.

Before Tang Shan could react, a powerful surge of soul force suddenly enveloped him, sending him hurtling like a cannonball into the depths of the forest.

An opportunity? Tang Shan's mind raced. Although he didn't realize anything was wrong with his state of comprehending will, he still trusted Serpent Spear Douluo's words completely.

After all, the other party has far more experience in terms of willpower than he does.

Besides, if Serpent Spear Douluo really wanted to harm him, he wouldn't have bothered going through all this trouble. With the opponent's strength, crushing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he's currently fighting Snake Spear Douluo on equal terms, seemingly evenly matched. Only Tang Shan himself truly understands the vast difference in their abilities.

Making a quick mental judgment, Tang Shan's body was already hurtling towards the canopy of a large tree in mid-air. His hands moved with lightning speed, grabbing the intertwined branches with precision, using the force to deflect and neutralize the force thrown by the Serpent Spear Douluo in the blink of an eye.

With a twist of his waist, he flipped and landed like a nimble cat, standing steadily on a branch no thicker than two fingers. Thanks to his extreme control over his strength, even running and jumping on this slender branch was as easy as walking on flat ground.

Standing on a tree branch, Tang Shan exhaled a long breath of stale air, his boiling energy subsiding slightly.

He was about to ask the Serpent Spear Douluo not far away when his subconscious gaze swept around and he immediately saw the "opportunity" the other was talking about.

It's less a matter of chance and more a matter of muscle!

Just as he regained his footing, the surrounding woods had somehow become filled with figures. It was a group of apes of various shapes and sizes, their muscles bulging in a frightening way. Tangshan couldn't tell if they were baboons, kingfishers, or monkeys.

Squeak!

Awooo!

quack quack!

The roars that rose and fell were deafening. The strange monkeys pounded their chests wildly, their eyes bloodshot and filled with violence and excitement as they stared intently at Tangshan on the tree branch, baring their fangs and looking incredibly fierce.

Watching them dart through the trees, gradually closing in on their menacing presence, Tang Shan's muscles tensed instantly. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a chilling killing intent emanated from him. His slightly diminished energy slowly began to rise again, and this time, it burned even brighter than before!

His sharp eyes quickly scanned the muscular apes surrounding them and soon noticed something was wrong.

Most of the men who surrounded them were covered in wounds, some so deep that bone was visible, their flesh mangled and bloody. Clearly, this was a troop of wounded soldiers who had just fought a fierce battle.

Since we're already a weakened force... let's pick on the weaker ones first, and then slowly deal with the stronger ones!

A strange light flashed in Tang Shan's eyes, and he instantly decided on a way to break the deadlock.

P.S.: First update, the protagonist is about to comprehend his will.

In the deep canopy of trees, She Long held his serpent spear in his arms, his hands clasped in front of his chest, watching with great interest the imminent battle not far away. A hint of gratified smile quietly spread across his aged face.

I wonder if it's your good fortune to have such a group of friends. But with them around, breaking through that barrier should be a sure thing.

A terrifying mental force, like an invisible net, emanated from She Long, covering the entire battlefield.
