Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Chapter 45 My own path
Everyone was watching the field. The situation was just as Shi Yi had said. The Royal Fighting team, which had lost its support, quickly fell into a disadvantage. Although it had an advantage in level, Shrek had the support of two supports, plus the enormous pressure from Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing. Tang San's massive firepower suppression and Zhu Zhuqing's elusive speed left the Royal Fighting team helpless.

No one in Huang Dou could catch Zhu Zhuqing's figure. She wanted to defeat Tang San, but was suppressed by Tang San's exquisite body skills and the hidden weapons he kept shooting. Tang San even had the mushroom sausage given by Oscar in his hand, which he had not used. Huang Dou, who could not get auxiliary treatment, had more and more injuries on his body. Dugu Yan wanted to turn the defeat into victory with her own range-covering toxin, but was defeated by Tang San using the method in the original book.

As one side gained strength while the other lost, the number of people in the Royal Fight decreased one after another, and in the end only two Black Tortoise Soul Masters were left without losing their combat effectiveness. Looking at the Shrek team on the opposite side which was still fully equipped, the two had no choice but to admit defeat. Defensive Soul Masters are often like this, they rely on defense to stand to the end, but they have no ability to change the situation of the battle.

Doudou, the female soul master and host of the White Dove Spiritual Master, who had been in a daze for a long time, suddenly woke up as if from a dream and quickly announced: "Team spirit battle, the Shrek Seven Devils win."

There was no cheering, only shouting and cursing in the stands. The audience could never have imagined that the Shrek team, who were participating in a team spirit fight for the first time, could win the royal fight despite a huge gap in spirit power. This caused those crazy gamblers to lose everything.

Oscar distributed his recovery sausages to everyone. After receiving them, everyone looked at each other with different expressions.

Tang San's gaze stayed on Zhu Zhuqing until Xiao Wu tugged at his sleeve and then he looked away. Dai Mubai also looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a complicated expression. He knew very well where the most crucial factor in this team battle lay, and Zhu Zhuqing had perfectly done what an agile attack spirit master should do.

Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside her excitedly, her pretty face revealing a huge sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Ma Hongjun was also in a good mood. He was even thinking in his mind what kind of girl he would pick to spend the night with. With such a victory, his teacher would definitely give him a holiday. He had been holding it in for a long time during the past few months of training. Although the evil fire had not flared up, he had become accustomed to this kind of life, so how could he give up that wonderful feeling?

On the other side, as the soul fight ended, Ye Lingling slowly woke up from her fainting. When she learned that she had lost the soul fight, a trace of self-blame flashed across her face, and then she began to treat everyone in the royal fight.

As the people in the Royal Fight woke up one after another, their faces looked so gloomy as if water was about to drip out of them.

Yufeng and Osro looked at Zhu Zhuqing's figure with complicated expressions on their faces, while Dugu Yan stared at Tang San who had broken her poison.

The Shi brothers and Ye Lingling were silent, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Yu Tianheng sighed inwardly. As the captain of the Royal Fighting Team, he had endured almost all of the attack firepower from the Shrek Seven Devils, but he still insisted on fighting until the last moment. In fact, he knew in his heart that the Royal Fighting Team had already lost this battle when Ye Lingling lost her ability to move.

"Let's go." Yu Tianheng said softly to the people in Huangdou.

Then the group of seven people, with somewhat staggering steps, slowly walked towards the soul master entrance. Failure made their backs look a little embarrassed.

"Let's go and meet those little monsters." Flanders said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, all Shrek's teachers smiled and nodded. Shi Yi also followed the crowd and slowly left the VIP room.

Soon, Shi Yi followed Shrek's teachers and reunited with Shrek and his friends.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San. At this moment, Shi Yi saw satisfaction in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

Shi Yi did not speak, quietly waiting for Yu Xiaogang to speak. Yu Xiaogang glanced at everyone and said, "Very good, you won. You not only defeated your opponents, but also defeated yourselves. Today's team battle is your first team battle this month. Even if it is the test of the second stage of training, you have passed my test with excellent results."

After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he set his eyes on Shi Yi, who also looked at Zhu Zhuqing and smiled softly, "I hope that one day, your speed will be able to control your own destiny."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shi Yi and saw a hint of unnaturalness in his eyes. Then he nodded seriously and said, "I will try my best."

Upon seeing this, Dai Mubai's expression turned extremely ugly. His evil eyes looked at Zhu Zhuqing with panic, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Zhu Zhuqing's performance gave him hope, but now Shi Yi's words seemed to imply that this was only Zhu Zhuqing's hope. Although he didn't want to admit it, the feeling like an isolated island in his heart clearly told him that he was panicked.

At this moment, Dai Mubai understood that he had to do something. If he did nothing, Zhu Zhuqing would only drift further and further away from him, and in the end he might be left alone to face everything.

"What about me?" Ning Rongrong glared at Shi Yi. Naturally, she wanted Shi Yi to encourage her or to put it bluntly, she wanted Shi Yi to praise her.

Looking at Ning Rongrong's appearance, Shi Yi smiled. He certainly understood what this young lady was thinking. He nodded slightly and said, "Well, not bad. Keep it up during training."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong's pretty face showed a smile, and she asked Shi Yi, "Can we go shopping later?"

Shi Yi nodded and said, "Of course."

Ma Hongjun listened to the conversation between the two and smiled. He looked at Flanders and said, "Teacher, can I have a day off tonight?"

Flanders on the side sighed secretly in his heart. Now Ma Hongjun is the most backward among all the Shrek people. If he continues to practice with such an attitude, he will definitely suffer in the future. Although he is not Ma Hongjun's father, Ma Hongjun has been his teacher for so many years. Flanders has long regarded Ma Hongjun as his own child. Seeing Ma Hongjun's eager look, he didn't want to let his disciple down at this appropriate time.

Flanders looked at Ma Hongjun and whispered, "Only tonight."

Ma Hongjun also nodded quickly and politely.

Yu Xiaogang also said slowly at this time: "This time when you go back, I will give you half a month's vacation. You can do what you want to do, and then consider the third stage of training. Everyone of you must participate in the third stage of training, including Shi Yi."

Upon hearing this, the Shrek people looked at Yu Xiaogang in surprise. Yu Xiaogang's words made them quite curious. What kind of training would even Shi Yi participate in?

Shi Yi smiled slightly, but he was actually not at peace. He knew what the training content was that Yu Xiaogang was talking about, but as a person who grew up in a peaceful era, he was still hesitant and even afraid to do such a thing, because this was an experience he had never had before.

"Brother, can I study with you for a while in the next half month?" Tang San asked at this time.

As a teacher, Yu Xiaogang did not say anything, but slowly moved his gaze to Shi Yi.

Shi Yi smiled and looked at Tang San and said: "Of course, Xiao San, I know what you are thinking, but I have to tell you first, Xiao San, it is unlikely that you can achieve the same effect as Zhu Qing."

Hearing Shi Yi talking about her third brother like this, Xiao Wu glared at Shi Yi and was about to say something, but she heard Tang San ask in confusion: "Why? Senior Brother."

"Xiao San, everyone has his own way to go. You have achieved a very good level in those magical self-created soul skills, hand techniques, footwork, techniques, weapons, and eye skills. However, there is one thing you are not as good as Zhu Qing. Even I can hardly compare with Zhu Qing in this aspect. That is concentration. Time is limited. Zhu Qing can devote everything to speed, but you can't." Shi Yi said softly. After that, Shi Yi patted Tang San's shoulder and said softly: "As your senior brother, I know you very well. Although I don't know where these magical self-created soul skills of yours come from, I understand that those things are too mature. They are definitely not something that a person can accomplish, let alone a child of seven or eight years old. Even if someone can accomplish these at the age of seven or eight, it will never be you. You don't have such creativity. Now you have only reached the path that the predecessors have walked. Now it is more important for you to focus on walking your own path. You can use other people's skills, but you can only walk the Tao yourself."

Tang San froze, looking at Shi Yi with shock in his eyes. At this moment, Tang San seemed to be standing naked in front of Shi Yi.

"Brother, what should I do then?" Tang San looked at Shi Yi deeply and asked.

Shi Yi smiled slightly and said, "Only you know what is best for you and what path you want to take."

At this moment, Tang San's eyes showed a trace of confusion. Becoming a hidden weapon master? Wasn't he already one now? He could even say that he had already achieved that in his previous life.

At this moment, a voice interrupted Tang San's thoughts, "President Flanders, Vice President Zhao Wuji. How are you? Disciple Qin Ming greets you."

Flanders propped up his square-framed glasses with his hands, looked at the distance, and said unhappily, "I thought you had forgotten about us a long time ago."

Zhao Wuji quickly came over and helped Qin Ming up from the ground. He looked Qin Ming up and down and laughed, "Good boy, you are getting better and better. It seems that it won't be long before you catch up with us old guys."

Qin Ming stood with his hands down respectfully, "No matter what time, the two deans are always Qin Ming's teachers, and Qin Ming will always be a disciple of Shrek Academy."

Flanders nodded with satisfaction, looked at Shi Yi and said, "Okay, stop preaching to me..."

"Come, Qin Ming will introduce you. This is the master. You should have seen these seven little monsters. This is Shi Yi, who is now our Shrek's special theoretical teacher."

Qin Ming looked at Shi Yi in surprise. He knew that it must be difficult to be Shrek's teacher, but this was the first time he saw a teacher younger than himself. However, Qin Ming did not think much about it and bowed to Yu Xiaogang first.

Yu Xiaogang turned aside, not accepting his courtesy, and said calmly, "You're welcome."

Seeing Qin Ming's puzzled expression, Shi Yi chuckled and said, "Senior Qin, the captain of your Royal Fight is your teacher's nephew, so you don't have to be polite."

"what?"

Shi Yi's words instantly ignited everyone. No one at Shrek could have imagined that the opponent they had just beaten was the nephew of their teacher.

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened and he glared at Shi Yi. Shi Yi said indifferently, "Why are you glaring at me? Don't you have to go see your eldest nephew later?"

Yu Xiaogang, who was hit on the heart by Shi Yi, coughed, nodded at Qin Ming, and then slowly left.

Qin Ming watched Yu Xiaogang leave, then turned his gaze to Shi Yi, the confusion on his face still remained, "Why did Teacher Shi call me senior?"

Shi Yi smiled and said, "I don't deserve it. I was also a student of Shrek at the beginning. I was honored by the dean and teachers to teach me some theories."

Qin Ming was surprised. Zhao Wuji said, "Qin Ming, this guy is not simple. Even the theoretical knowledge of us old guys is not as good as his."

"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Zhao." Shi Yi chuckled.

After a brief introduction and greetings, Flanders took the teachers and Qin Ming away.

Seeing the teachers leave, Ma Hongjun could no longer suppress his desire and left alone. Oscar looked at the strange atmosphere among the crowd, said hello to Shi Yi and went back to the hotel.

Shi Yi also wanted to go back, but was stopped by Tang San: "Senior Brother..."

"Hmm?" Shi Yi looked at Tang San with some confusion.

Seeing Tang San looking thoughtful and not knowing what to say, Shi Yi chuckled and said, "Xiao San, everyone is actually walking on their own path. What you should think about is how you should deal with an opponent like Zhu Qing, or learn from others' strengths to go further."

"I want to learn from you. Isn't this learning from others' strengths?" Tang San asked with some doubt.

Shi Yi shook his head slightly and sighed, saying, "Only when you figure out what you want can you know how to learn. You want the same speed as Zhu Qing, which is theoretically possible, but a person only has twelve hours a day, and your martial spirit can't possibly be as fast as Zhu Qing. This means that the cost of increasing your speed is higher than Zhu Qing's. You also need time to practice your self-created spirit skills every day, right?"

Tang San nodded awkwardly, but didn't know what to say.

"Alright, if you don't want to teach me then don't. Why are you making so many excuses? We don't really want to learn. Xiao San, let's go!" Xiao Wu couldn't help it anymore and pulled Tang San to leave.

Tang San gave Shi Yi an apologetic look, and was then pulled away by Xiao Wu.

Seeing this, Shi Yi smiled and nodded. In a sense, Xiao Wu was right. He was not very willing to teach Tang San. It was a thankless task. He helped Zhu Zhuqing to make himself feel more at ease, and helped Ning Rongrong for some resources.

As for helping Tang San? If Tang San was willing to share Tang Sect's unique skills with him, Shi Yi would really be willing to be the Tang Sect's senior brother, but unfortunately things are different now.

When Shi Yi's basic attributes were greatly improved, Shi Yi was no longer interested in Tang Sect's unique skills. This was even more so after seeing the speed at which Zhu Zhuqing burst out today. Without the Eight Spider Soul Bone and immortal items, Tang San, without extraordinary basic attributes as support, was not as powerful as imagined.

In Shi Yi's opinion, the most useful ones are Xuantian Gong and Ziji Demon Eye.

If Shi Yi were to arrange Tang San's training, it would actually be very simple, but Tang San was dazzled by the so-called Tang Sect's unique skills. The Tang Sect's unique skills are all designed to make up for the shortcomings of hidden weapons. Internal strength can increase the explosive power of hidden weapons, techniques can allow hidden weapons to have more angles to hit the opponent, eyesight can allow hidden weapons to accurately lock onto targets, and footwork allows hidden weapon masters to have more opportunities to shoot hidden weapons.

Since Tang San chose Blue Silver Grass as his hidden weapon and also has his second martial soul, Clear Sky Hammer, what Tang San should do is to constantly improve his soul power, train his strength, and then control the power by practicing Chaos Cloak.

With strength and exquisite control, hidden weapons can be developed into visible weapons to overcome these shortcomings. If it is possible to burst out with powerful force and shoot something out, making it impossible for the opponent to react, isn't this the simplest human-shaped firearm?
When you have cultivated to a deep level and can use your mental power to lock onto your opponent, or even use your mental power to control hidden weapons to track them, do you still need those fancy techniques?
But as a Tang Sect disciple, Tang San was destined to be confined to hidden weapons and Tang Sect's unique skills. To turn hidden weapons into visible weapons? Wouldn't that mean that Tang San would lose the lifeblood he had been holding on to? How could the ancestral method be turned into evil?
