Douluo: Yu Hao is reborn, this Tang San is different

Chapter 59: Practicing the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler

Three years passed in a flash.

The waterfall in the Star Dou Great Forest is still majestic, like the Milky Way pouring down, making a deafening roar.

Huo Yuhao stood in the deep pool below the waterfall. The water covered his calves and was icy cold. At this moment, he held the Xuanzhong ruler tightly in both hands. The ruler was thick and heavy, and under the impact of the water, it seemed increasingly difficult to control.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao planted his feet firmly on the bottom of the pool, as if they had taken root.

His eyes were fixed on the surging water, and Huo Yuhao's eyes revealed determination and resolve. Then, the muscles in his arms tensed instantly, veins popped out, and he exerted force suddenly, raising the Xuanzhong ruler high up, with the ruler at a perpendicular angle to the direction of the water's impact.

With a low roar, Huo Yuhao swung the Xuanzhong ruler, slashing at the water from top to bottom with the force of thunder.

"boom!"

The Xuanzhong ruler collided violently with the water, making a loud noise, just like a thunder exploding in the plain.

The originally unstoppable water flow was split apart by this blow, forming a short hole. The split water flow seemed to have been hit by a huge impact, splashing to both sides, forming a crystal water curtain.

However, the waterfall flows continuously, with one wave following another.

Huo Yuhao didn't have time to catch his breath, he quickly held the Xuanzhong Ruler across his body and swept it across with force.

The ruler sliced ​​through the water, creating a massive wave and colliding head-on with the surging current. Huo Yuhao's body swayed slightly under the powerful impact, but he quickly regained his composure thanks to his tenacious will and excellent balance.

He kept changing the attacking style of the Xuanzhong Ruler, sometimes slashing vertically, sometimes slashing horizontally, and each swing carried a tremendous force.

In order to better resist the water flow, Huo Yuhao began to observe the flow patterns of the waterfall.

He discovered that the water's impact would create relatively weak areas in certain locations. So, with his keen insight, he found the right moment to strike precisely at these weak points with his Xuanzhong Ruler. Each precise strike gave him the upper hand against the current, reducing its impact.

With repeated chopping, Huo Yuhao's movements became more and more skillful, and his coordination became more and more tacit. The Xuanzhong Ruler in his hand seemed to have become a part of his body, dancing with his will, and completely blocking the water pouring down from the waterfall.

During these three years, Huo Yuhao had already raised his soul power to level 30, but he had not yet obtained the third soul ring. If he obtained the third soul ring, the soul power accumulated in his body would increase dramatically.

Huo Yuhao's second soul ring was obtained in the Far North. It was a thousand-year-old ice silkworm. His soul skills were the same as his previous life, also simulated.

(ps: In the original novel, it took Tang San 6 years to go from level 14 to level 29)
Xiao Yan nodded slightly as he watched the scene unfold before him. His gaze fell on the Xuan Zhong Ruler in Huo Yuhao's hand, and he said, "Yuhao, after three years of training, you've begun to master the Xuan Zhong Ruler. Now, it's time to teach you the Earth-level fighting skill, the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes suddenly lit up with a fiery light, and he said with a little excitement, "Thank you, Teacher!"

Xiao Yan walked over to Huo Yuhao, reached out and gently stroked the Xuanzhong Ruler, saying slowly, "The Flame-Splitting Wave-Devouring Ruler uses powerful Dou Qi to drive the power of flames. Its attack is like a surging wave, unstoppable. The key lies in the perfect fusion of Dou Qi and flames, as well as precise control of the ruler technique."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan took the Xuanzhong Ruler and, in a flash, arrived in front of the waterfall. He took a deep breath, and his Dou Qi instantly boiled. A rich flame power emanated from his body, enveloping him.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan waved the Xuanzhong Ruler and unleashed the Flame-Splitting Wave-Devouring Ruler.

Wherever the Xuanzhong Ruler passed, the air ignited with blazing flames, and a huge wave of flames rushed towards the waterfall. The wave of flames seemed to have life, roaring and rolling, colliding head-on with the waterfall's water.

Instantly, the entire world seemed to tremble, as flames and water intertwined and collided with each other, making a deafening sound. The waterfall's flow was abruptly cut off by the impact of the waves of flames, and for a moment, water splashed and steam filled the air.

Huo Yuhao widened his eyes as he looked at the shocking scene in front of him, his heart filled with amazement and yearning. He knew very well that he still had a long way to go to reach the level of his teacher.

"Yuhao, watch carefully, I will demonstrate it again." Xiao Yan's voice sounded again.

This time, Huo Yuhao was fully focused, carefully observing every movement and every detail of Xiao Yan. He noticed that when Xiao Yan swung the Xuanzhong Ruler, the flow of his Dou Qi and the release of the flames were perfectly coordinated, and every exertion of force was extremely precise.

After completing the demonstration once more, Xiao Yan handed the Xuanzhong Ruler back to Huo Yuhao and said, "Now, it's up to you. Try to incorporate what I've taught you into your attacks. Remember, the fusion of Dou Qi and flames is key."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, gripped the Xuanzhong Ruler tightly, and, following Xiao Yan's instructions, mobilized the Dou Qi and flame power within him. His body trembled slightly. This was his first time attempting such a powerful fighting technique, and he felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

Huo Yuhao swung the Xuanzhong Ruler and slashed towards the waterfall. This time, his attack carried a hint of fire power. Although it was a little weaker than when Xiao Yan used it, it also successfully opened up a channel in the water flow.
Then, Huo Yuhao tried to imitate Xiao Yan, perfectly integrating his Dou Qi with the flames, and thus unleashing the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler.

However, this seemingly simple integration is actually very difficult to implement.

When Huo Yuhao tried to channel his Dou Qi into enveloping the flames, the two proved difficult to coordinate, like playful children. The flames raged uncontrollably within him, causing his Dou Qi to become chaotic. As a result, when the Xuanzhong Ruler was swung out, the flames only clung to the ruler in scattered spots, failing to form a powerful wave of flames.

"Don't be impatient, Yuhao. Feel the rhythm of the fighting spirit and the flames, and find the balance between them." Xiao Yan stood aside, guiding patiently.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, concentrated, and tried again.

This time, he slowed down his pace and carefully sensed the flow of the two forces in his body.

After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes, his arm muscles bulged high, and the Xuanzhong ruler drew an arc with a whistling sound.

This time, the flames and fighting spirit had a brief fusion, and a palm-sized flame ignited in front of the ruler blade. But before Huo Yuhao could be happy, the flame went out due to lack of strength, and the water flow rushed over again, almost knocking him down.

During his continuous attempts, Huo Yuhao's arms trembled from excessive exertion, and sweat mixed with the water from the waterfall, blurring his vision.

But he had no intention of giving up. He gritted his teeth and swung the Xuan Zhong ruler again and again.

Every time he failed, he would carefully recall Xiao Yan's demonstration and summarize his experience. As time went on, Huo Yuhao's understanding of the Flame Devouring Wave Ruler gradually deepened.

He discovered that at the moment when the fighting spirit enveloped the flame, a special rhythm was needed to stimulate the fighting spirit in order to keep the flame burning continuously and stably.

After finding this key, his attempts finally made significant progress.

He swung the Xuanzhong Ruler once more, successfully fusing his Dou Qi with the flames. A wave of flames surged out from the end of the ruler, crashing towards the waterfall. Although this wave was much smaller than when Xiao Yan had used it, it still successfully pushed the waterfall's water away over a large area.

Meanwhile, Nottingham College.

Tang San sat cross-legged quietly on the roof of Notting College. There was silence all around him, with only the breeze blowing gently, ruffling his hair.

The rising sun cast a soft and warm light, enveloping his figure. He closed his eyes slightly, completely immersed in the cultivation of the Purple Demonic Pupil.

Deep in his consciousness, chaos was gradually dispelled by a brilliant purple light.

Following the rhythm of his breathing, the purple light flickered and expanded regularly, as if exploring the boundaries of his consciousness. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he was unaware of it. He was concentrating on guiding the soul power in his body, which echoed with the power of the Purple Demon Eye.

During these three years, Tang San has cultivated the Blue Silver Grass to the third soul ring. Because he absorbed the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor and secretly added a soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, his own soul power level has been raised to level 36.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass's second soul skill is called: Life Tracing Entanglement!
Skill Effect: With a thought, Tang San's mind stirs, and Blue Silver Grass, like nimble green snakes, bursts forth from the ground in all directions, rapidly wrapping around its target. Once bound, the Blue Silver Grass, drawing upon the powerful life perception granted by the Hundred-Thousand-Year-Old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, penetrates the target's body to trace its life source. This restores 4% of the target's health per second for 15 seconds, and removes all negative status effects from allies, including poisoning and paralysis, that last no longer than 10 seconds.

If the target is an enemy, Blue Silver Grass will interfere with its life source, reducing its movement speed by 30%. Attacking has a 20% chance of causing a brief stiffness lasting 0.5 seconds, and the enemy loses 1% of its health per second. During the skill's duration, Blue Silver Grass will also convert 30% of the enemy's lost health into healing, which is fed back to Tang San's teammates.

Skill Advantages: This skill not only effectively heals teammates, removes critical negative states, and enhances team endurance, but also causes continuous damage to the enemy and disrupts their actions. It also cleverly transforms the enemy's life energy into your own advantage, greatly enhancing the strategic value of the skill.

Third soul ring skill: Blue Silver Life Blessing!

Skill Effect: Tang San dances his hands rapidly, forming a strange hand seal. With himself as the core, he instantly creates a 30-meter radius of emerald green, surrounded by blue silver grass. Within this radius, all allies recover 5% health and 3% spirit power per second for 25 seconds. Allies also receive 25% less physical and magical damage, and gain the "Life Amplification" status, increasing their strength, agility, and mental strength by 20%.

Tang San can also harness the power of the Hundred Thousand Years Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone, unleashing a burst of stored life energy, instantly restoring 30% of his maximum health to allies within his realm. Enemies within his realm will be blasted with Blue Silver Grass, inflicting damage equal to 15% of Tang San's attack power every 0.3 seconds. This also causes them to suffer a "Life Slow" state, reducing their movement and attack speed by 30% and increasing their ability cast delay by 20%.

Skill Advantages: This skill provides comprehensive protection and amplification for the team, with powerful healing and soul recovery effects, significantly improving teammates' survivability and combat endurance. Damage reduction and attribute enhancements give teammates a greater advantage in combat. The powerful restriction and continuous damage to the enemy makes it difficult for them to move within the area, greatly enhancing Tang San's team's dominance in team battles.
