Chapter 12 Thousand-pound Ant
Shi Yi looked at it and nodded slightly. If the problem of fighting style is excluded, turning the blue silver grass into a hidden weapon is indeed a good choice. At least now ten of them can't touch Tang San.
"Junior brother's technique does have the potential to create a self-created soul skill. Using this technique to shoot out my martial spirit has given me a new idea. Junior brother's choice of soul rings is not limited to sharpness. You can also choose locking, tracking, corrosion, poison, explosion and other characteristics and soul skills that are beneficial to the projectile like the soul master of the bow and arrow martial spirit." Shi Yi smiled.
Yu Xiaogang and Tang San savored Shi Yi's words carefully, their eyes became brighter and brighter. Yu Xiaogang whispered: "But can Xiao San achieve the same effect as the bow and arrow soul master with just the technique?"
Shi Yi chuckled and said: "It depends on whether Junior brother has the confidence to develop his technique into a self-created soul skill."
"Self-created soul skill? What is a self-created soul skill." Tang San asked with some doubts.
Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San's shoulder and said softly: "Self-created spirit skills, as the name implies, are spirit skills created by the spirit master himself. They are not just simple techniques, but they must integrate spirit power into his own techniques. It's a little early for you now, but Xiaoyi is right. Your techniques do have the potential to be self-created spirit skills and you should develop them well."
"Spirit power? The more advanced Tang Sect hidden weapon techniques require a lot of internal energy. Isn't that what the teacher said about self-created spirit skills?" Tang San's young eyes were filled with more joy.
Tang San looked at Shi Yi not far away and thought to himself: "It seems that Senior Brother has indeed achieved a high level of achievement in theory, and even feels that he has surpassed the teacher. Just by watching me demonstrate a simple hand-flinging arrow, he saw through the potential behind it at a glance, and even provided a more diverse direction for the development of my martial spirit characteristics."
Thinking of this, Tang San looked at Shi Yi with more respect.
"Using the Blue Silver Grass in this way also makes up for it to a certain extent..."
When Shi Yi was about to say the word Clear Sky Hammer, he stopped abruptly when he saw the dean, and quickly changed his words: "The attack distance of the plant martial spirit."
Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and nodded. He naturally understood what Shi Yi wanted to say. Tang San's twin martial spirits were more suitable for the path of extreme power than his father Tang Hao. This obviously had a very high upper limit, but the only disadvantage was the problem of attack distance and attack frequency. When the opponent did not confront you head-on, the Blue Silver Grass became a good supplementary attack method.
In Shi Yi's eyes, the limitations of the Clear Sky Hammer were still very large. In fact, Tang Hao's extreme power training program was far inferior to the balanced type of Tang Xiao, the master of the sect.
This was also the significance of the Clear Sky Hammer Nine Absolutes. Various different force-generating methods were actually making up for the shortcomings of the Clear Sky Hammer.
A careful analysis of Tang Hao's most outstanding battles is the battle with Qianxunji and Jinyu. The two made the same mistake, that is, relying on their high cultivation, trying to defeat the opponent head-on. Although Shi Yi had to admit that this was indeed very cool, it was a manifestation of lack of combat wisdom.
This is why Tang San was able to defeat the Seventh Elder in the gambling fight of the Haotian Sect by various means of pulling and controlling. Obviously, the Haotian Hammer could not play its advantages when it met a very flexible soul master like Tang San. Of course, Tang San's combat wisdom destined him to be unsuitable to be the user of the Haotian Hammer.
The Haotian Hammer is a means of Tang San, not all of Tang San. Many ways of winning that Tang San thinks are better will constantly limit Tang San's use and understanding of the Haotian Hammer. People often grow in failure.
Cultivation is not just to improve one's own cultivation. Shi Yi understands that cultivation is the soul master constantly making up for his shortcomings, just like Tang Chen created the Haotian Jiujue technique, and the distraction control of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, which is actually to make up for the shortcomings of the martial soul.
Today, Tang San chose to add a spirit ring with sharp characteristics to the Blue Silver Grass to make up for the lack of hidden weapons to a certain extent.
"Okay, now we only need your spirit ring. Let's eat first. You can summon the little ants to search later. The little ants are much more sensitive to the breath of their own kind than the three cannons. The number of Qianjun ants is huge, so we should be able to find them soon." Yu Xiaogang whispered to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi nodded slightly.
Everyone sat together and simply ate some dry food. After packing up their things, Shi Yi summoned the little ants and began to continue searching in this Soul Hunting Forest.
Everyone followed the little ants quietly. What surprised Tang San was that they did not encounter any soul beasts along the way.
Yu Xiaogang also saw through what Tang San was thinking and smiled: "Although your senior brother's martial spirit is an ordinary ant, the weaker the spirit beast in the forest, the more sensitive it is to danger. Even Sanpao is far inferior to Xiaoyi. As long as you follow the ants in the forest, you will not encounter danger."
Xiaoyi led everyone to change directions constantly, and they didn't even encounter a hair along the way. Just when the dean was a little impatient, everyone saw a Qianjun ant not far ahead.
Compared with the little ant, the Qianjun ant looked quite huge. Seeing the Qianjun ant, the little ant showed human fear and joy.
Fear was out of blood instinct, and joy was because the little ant could clearly feel that the Qianjun ant had something it desired.
Yu Xiaogang looked at the Qianjun ant not far away with a look of surprise on his face. He silently estimated the size in his heart and immediately found that the age of this Qianjun ant was about the same as that of the gold-eating leopard.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes fell on the little ant. It was obvious that the little ant not only had the ability to seek benefits and avoid harm, but also had a certain ability to estimate things. The reference for finding the target was the gold-eating leopard yesterday. Yu Xiaogang would never believe that this Qianjun ant was Shi Yi's luck. It was obvious that the little ant led them to change directions in the forest to lock on this Qianjun ant.
Tang San looked at the little ant's tender eyes and a trace of surprise flashed.
"In such a complex environment as the forest, the perception of the ant is so strong that it can actually feel the energy of the soul beast. Senior brother is indeed a rare talent." Tang San said secretly in his heart.
"Next, it depends on you to take action." Shi Yi bowed slightly to the dean.
The dean nodded and slowly moved forward. A long sword appeared in his hand, and the soul ring also shone around him.
The Qianjun ant had already sensed the danger, but it found that no matter how it changed direction, this huge danger was always following it like a shadow.
At this time, the Qianjun Ant had already assumed a fighting stance, with two saber teeth that were particularly prominent. At the same time, each of them had two sturdy forelimbs, which looked a bit like the claws of a scorpion.
The dean showed disdain on his face. If the previous gold-eating leopard could still stretch its muscles, then the Qianjun Ant was not even an appetizer. The hundred-year-old Qianjun Ant was only six inches. The size was an important criterion for measuring the combat effectiveness of many soul beasts. In addition, there were many students in the academy, so killing the Qianjun Ant was already a common occurrence for him.
In fact, the part-time students only accounted for a very small part of Notting College. Most of those who could go to the Soul Master College were children of nobles. Every year, many parents asked him to help their children hunt for hundred-year soul rings.
The soul ring on the dean's body lit up, and the soul power burst out instantly. Although the Qianjun Ant was powerful, its speed was extremely slow. It didn't even have time to react. The dean's long sword had already accurately inserted through the gap in the exoskeleton. The two saber teeth and thick forelimbs could only clamp the long sword tightly.
Don't underestimate the two saber teeth and forelimbs of the Qianjun Ant. Even if he is a soul master, if his arm is hugged, he can only remove his arm, but it is unlikely to crush a soul master's martial soul.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
The Qianjun Ant hissed, but there was nothing he could do. This was also the biggest disadvantage of the Qianjun Ant. It had no soul skills, only strength and slow speed. Once it was restrained like this, there was no way to deal with it.
Soon, as the injuries on the body became more serious, the two saber teeth and forelimbs of the Qianjun Ant began to loosen. At the moment of loosening, the dean instantly pulled out the long knife that was deeply inserted, and skillfully cut off the two forelimbs, and said to Shi Yi: "Take the dagger and insert it through the gap of his exoskeleton at the back of his head to kill him."
Yu Xiaogang also handed a dagger to Shi Yi at the right time. Shi Yi took it, came to the back of the dying Qianjun Ant, and thrust the sword in.
Just like yesterday, the sharp blade pierced the head, and a faint yellow light began to condense above the body of the Qianjun Ant, and a yellow soul ring appeared in front of everyone.
Shi Yi sat cross-legged without saying anything. At this time, the little ant was also on Shi Yi's thigh. Under the traction of Shi Yi's light blue soul power, the hundred-year-old Qianjun Ant soul ring slowly flew towards Shi Yi.
To be precise, it flew towards the little ant.
At this time, as the hundred-year-old Qianjun Ant soul ring approached, he felt an unprecedentedly strong pressure, and even the bones of his whole body made a slight sound under this pressure.
Soon, the yellow halo came to the top of Xiao Yi's head. Without giving it any chance to react, the yellow halo suddenly shrank and turned into a bracelet-sized, extremely solid golden ring that fell directly on Xiao Yi's body.
A powerful soul power fluctuation suddenly burst out, and a hot energy rushed into Shi Yi's body. In an instant, Shi Yi's internal organs were burning. His body couldn't help but tremble violently.
At this time, Shi Yi also hurriedly operated the twelve meridians to digest the incoming soul power through the rapid operation of soul power.
"No, the speed of the twelve meridians is too slow. We need to reduce the circulation distance and speed up the number of soul power circulations."
Thinking of this, Shi Yi controlled his soul power to circulate quickly around Dantian. This was also the most efficient operation method he obtained after his attempts. He called it the advanced version of the twelve meridians.
After two years of practice, Shi Yi also found that different people would have different results when practicing the same technique. The most obvious one was that the meridians in the body were blocked in different ways, the degree of blockage was different, and even the thickness and toughness of the meridians were different, and even the location of the meridians might be different.
These differences will lead to a result, that is, the efficiency of the same method will be different in different people.
Shi Yi's operation route can be said to be his own route. He has tried many times and recorded the practice time of each operation. It can be said that this is the fastest operation route for him.
When the speed of the method is accelerated, Shi Yi can clearly feel that the pressure of energy infusion on the body is reduced.
Gradually, the heat like a raging fire turned into warmth, and a feeling of blood connection appeared in Shi Yi's heart.
Although Shi Yi is still in the process of absorbing the soul ring, Shi Yi can clearly feel that the little ant is undergoing a transformation.
Outside, Yu Xiaogang looked at the little ant on Shi Yi's thigh with a complicated expression. The little ant at this time has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to its previous appearance.
The most intuitive change is not only the size, but also the mouthparts have grown into saber teeth like the Qianjun ant just now, and the two forelimbs are also changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The only thing that puzzled Yu Xiaogang was that the exoskeleton of the little ant looked much more shiny than that of an ordinary Qianjun ant. Apart from this, there is not much difference between the little ant and a Qianjun ant.
At this time, Tang San was also observing the changes of Shi Yi and Xiao Yi.
"Brother's breathing stabilized so quickly, could it be... impossible, even Xuan Tian Gong does not have such a high efficiency in digesting internal force, even though it took me nearly an hour, but Brother only took more than half an hour, how did Brother manage to digest so quickly under the huge internal force infusion?" Tang San thought secretly in his heart.
It's not that Tang San has not seen the twelve meridians created by Shi Yi. Although it is good, it can only reach the level of outer disciples to build the foundation. But today, the level of Shi Yi's practice has surpassed Xuan Tian Gong, at least in digesting internal force. It is stronger than Xuan Tian Gong.
This makes Tang San unbelievable. You know, Xuan Tian Gong is the highest internal power of the inner sect of Bashu Tang Sect, and it has been continuously improved by many Tang Sect predecessors.
He can't believe that Shi Yi has created a practice that surpasses Xuan Tian Gong.
"Brother must have used some special method, the Qianjun Ant..."
Thinking of this, Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked, "Teacher, is this Qianjun Ant the most suitable soul beast for senior brother?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Yi's martial soul is an ant. In the theory of beast martial souls, if you can find a soul beast with the same bloodline as the martial soul, absorption will help promote the evolution of the martial soul. You should have seen the changes in the little ant, but bloodlines are often not downward compatible. This is why the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, known as the world's number one beast martial soul, is prone to mutations, and most of them are malignant mutations. This is a mutation caused by the excessive power of the bloodline being affected by low-level bloodlines."
"Then would a suitable soul beast be easier to absorb?" Tang San continued to ask.
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and said: "Of course, if the absorbed spirit ring is not suitable, there will be rejection reaction. For example, ice attribute spirit masters cannot absorb the spirit rings produced by fire attribute spirit beasts."
Hearing this, Tang San showed a look of sudden realization. Perhaps it took him a long time just because he did not absorb plant spirit beasts, while Shi Yi absorbed a very suitable spirit ring, which led to the time difference.
