Chapter 48: I Don't Know How to Cultivate My Martial Spirit
Tang San swung the Clear Sky Hammer.
In his hand, the small hammer seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Sun Qi was a little wary when he saw him use the Clear Sky Hammer.
His attainments in stick techniques had long reached the point where he could send and receive the weapon at will. After all, practicing with different bodies was several times more efficient.
Under the fast and slow stick techniques, even if Tang San used the Clear Sky Hammer, he would still suffer. He could not have a head-on collision with Sun Qi. Instead, his hammer was dodged by the other party, and he had to withstand the blows from the Golden Cudgel.
He knew that he could not continue at this pace, so he stepped on the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and quickly closed the distance.
Sun Qi held the stick.
"Twin Martial Spirits?"
Oscar, who was standing next to him, realized that what appeared in Tang San's hand was a Martial Spirit.
He looked carefully and quickly recognized its origin from the form of this Martial Spirit.
"Clear Sky Hammer!"
Tang San also heard Oscar's exclamation, thinking to himself that while Shrek Academy might be run-down, its students were far more knowledgeable than those of Notting Academy.
He didn't deny it.
"Hammer the Clear Sky Hammer!"
He stood, Clear Sky Hammer in hand.
After fighting for so long, he had already mastered some of Sun Qi's staff techniques.
Sun Qi wasted no time, advancing with his staff and thrusting forward.
Tang San swept his hammer in front of him, deflecting Sun Qi's attack. Using his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he twisted his body forward and swiftly swung the Clear Sky Hammer.
The key to breaking this fast and slow staff technique was to be proactive.
No matter what, the opponent would meet you head-on.
Sun Qi swung his staff back to block the Clear Sky Hammer, and the Golden Cudgel hummed, slightly numbing his hands.
This Clear Sky Hammer, even without a Soul Ring attached, was incredibly powerful.
Sun Qi thought to himself that this was worthy of being the first weapon Spirit.
He distanced himself, then leaped forward and smashed down fiercely.
The first Soul skill, Charged Strike.
Tang San frowned, facing the same scene as at the beginning, and retreated directly.
He didn't give Sun Qi a chance to hit him.
Even the fast and slow stick techniques have distance limits after all.
The second Soul Ring on Sun Qi's body flashed with a strange purple light.
The Golden Cudgel in his hand quickly grew longer. Because the stick became longer, it gave people the feeling that the iron stick was deformed by being swung in mid-air.
This stick was powerful and heavy, and extremely swift.
Tang San's pupils contracted. He didn't expect Sun Qi's second Soul skill to make the Spirit bigger and longer.
He raised the Clear Sky Hammer and blocked it in front of him.
Bang!
A stick came down and knocked him to the ground.
At this time, the incense stick lit by Sun Qi had also burned out.
"You passed."
Sun Qi put away the Golden Cudgel, returned to the examiner's seat and sat down again, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
Oscar looked at Tang San's position and saw Tang San lying on the ground with a painful look on his face.
"The recovery sausage can quickly heal injuries. Do you want to buy one? Five copper Soul coins each."
Oscar handed over the sausage with a lewd smile.
Tang San took out five copper Soul coins, then took a sausage from Oscar's hand and ate it in one bite.
A warm current flowed through his body, and the place that had just been hit by the Golden Cudgel seemed to be soothed.
Tang San got up from the ground and walked to Sun Qi.
"Sun Qi, can I continue to spar with you in the future?"
A trace of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.
This time he didn't understand Sun Qi, otherwise he wouldn't have simply dodged backwards.
Even if he charged up his strength to meet it with the Clear Sky Hammer, he wouldn't be defeated miserably.
Sun Qi raised his eyelids.
"You don't even understand the cultivation of your Martial Spirit. Wait until you have cultivated your Martial Spirit correctly before coming to me."
Tang San's face froze.
What does it mean?
He frowned and stared at Sun Qi.
Unfortunately, Sun Qi didn't explain to him further.
Tang San's face changed continuously.
Was Sun Qi questioning him just now? No, he was questioning the cultivation direction set by Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang doesn't understand the Clear Sky Hammer, doesn't Tang Hao understand it?
Tang Hao doesn't understand the planning of Martial Spirit cultivation, doesn't Yu Xiaogang understand it?
Two people, training Tang San, didn't even discuss it with each other.
Previously, it was to hide the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit, but now that everything is revealed, he's still cultivating with Blue Silver Grass as his primary Spirit.
This is just forcing himself to endure hardship.
All that talk about obtaining all ten thousand year Soul Rings later is nonsense.
Doesn't Tang Hao know the limit of a ten thousand year Clear Sky Hammer? It all comes down to how many Soul Rings his body can withstand.
Could Tang San's body withstand the Soul Power shock of nine ten thousand year old Soul Rings exploding from a ten thousand year Clear Sky Hammer?
Without considering Tang San's role as the protagonist, the optimal solution is to cultivate primarily with the Clear Sky Hammer. Training is fast, and his strength remains at the top throughout.
There's no need to doubt or question himself.
As for the Blue Silver Grass Spirit, while it's weak, it has a twin nature.
The best path for Blue Silver Grass's development is the Life Path. Furthermore, while its Spirit is inherently weak, it requires the accumulation of fundamental strength.
According to Sun Qi, Tang San would only reach his peak state by cultivating his two Spirits in a mutually exclusive manner.
A single Spirit capable of exploding rings at any moment, backed by abundant vitality and capable of unleashing the Nine Rings Secret Technique at will, such a Clear Sky Hammer Spirit would undoubtedly surpass the standard for a Titled Douluo.
In fact, if Tang San's Blue Silver Grass evolved into Blue Silver Emperor, and if he cultivated according to Sun Qi's predictions, with Soul Rings of ten thousand years or more attached to it, perhaps even two or three hundred thousand years old, his Blue Silver Emperor would be a true steal.
Yu Xiaogang didn't know about the Blue Silver Emperor, but did Tang Hao? Could he not know the secrets of the Blue Silver Emperor?
Tang San's expression shifted constantly.
When Sun Qi questioned his training plan, he surprisingly didn't immediately argue, but instead reflected on it.
Unfortunately, his reflections yielded nothing.
However, even if Sun Qi didn't voice his thoughts, Tang San had already grasped a relevant direction: the issue of the Clear Sky Hammer's Soul Rings.
This wasn't the direction he'd arrived at by pondering the implications of Sun Qi's words.
In fact, it was a subconscious thought deep within him.
He wanted to do this.
Having been beaten once by Sun Qi, with the Stone Monkey Spirit, at Notting Academy, and then again by Sun Qi with the Golden Cudgel Spirit at Shrek, his thirst for strength had become intense.
...
At the end of the day's enrollment, no other student had reached the fourth round.
Sun Qi wondered, "Did Xiao Wu just disappear?"
He had been surprised when Tang San didn't see Xiao Wu during the assessment.
"It seems something happened in Notting City eight months ago that I'm unaware of."
The thought flashed through his mind, and he didn't dwell on it any further.
Xiao Wu's presence or absence didn't matter to him.
"Fast and slow stick techniques are ultimately just techniques, minor techniques; Soul Power is the foundation."
"My next Soul skill must be something like the Invincible Golden Body."
Sun Qi certainly had an idea. He wanted to replicate some of the stick techniques he remembered, with the Invincible Golden Body being a key ability; he needed to master it before he could replicate that particular move.
"Analysis: What I need is the moment to integrate my Invincible True Body into my staff technique. Just a moment of invincibility is enough to elevate my staff technique to an unimaginable height.".
