Chapter 83 Spiritual Power Control and Spiritual Apertures

"Genius is merely someone who can see the threshold of my talent."

One sentence, like a thunderclap, caused the minds of everyone in the Fire Cloud Demon Hunter Squad to tremble violently.

What confidence!
How domineering!
At this moment, Li Hao's figure became incredibly tall in their eyes, like an insurmountable mountain peak that they could only look up to.

In everyone's hearts, besides excitement and admiration, there was an indescribable surge of emotion.

How fortunate it is to be able to follow such a commander!

However, amidst the enthusiastic atmosphere, Wang Yuanyuan quietly lowered her head, and the light in her eyes dimmed slightly.

She thought that with her own efforts and talent, she could at least closely follow behind Li Hao and become his strongest shield.

But now it seems that the figure is getting further and further away from me.

That desire to stand side by side seems... to have become an unattainable luxury and a pipe dream.

The aftershocks of the fierce roar gradually subsided.

Li Hao keenly noticed Wang Yuanyuan's low spirits.

He walked over to her and gently patted her shoulder.

Wang Yuanyuan froze, looked up, and saw Li Hao's gentle gaze.

"do not think too much."

Li Hao's voice was as steady as ever, carrying a reassuring power.

"The first manifestation of the exquisite control over spiritual power is in resisting attacks with a fixed frequency like the howling."

"But once you truly master it, you'll find that this control greatly enhances both your offense and defense."

He looked at Wang Yuanyuan and said earnestly.

"You are a shield warrior, skilled in both offense and defense."

"So whether you use a shield to block and deflect force or a greatsword to launch a counterattack, more refined use of spiritual power can make you achieve twice the result with half the effort and unleash power far beyond what you have ever had before."

Wang Yuanyuan stared blankly at Li Hao.

Seeing him come over to comfort her, and seeing the warm and encouraging look in his eyes.

The sense of loss and gloom in my heart seemed to be instantly dispelled by the sunshine.

Yes, why should I feel disappointed?
I should be happy that the guild leader is so strong!
What I need to do is not wallow in self-pity, but work even harder to catch up with him!

"I understand, Commander!"

Wang Yuanyuan nodded heavily, a determined light rekindling in her eyes, and a warm, sunny smile blooming on her lips.

"I will not let you down!"

Seeing Wang Yuanyuan regain her confidence, Lin Xin also came over, his face full of interest.

"Captain, if we can control our spiritual power to the extreme, can we achieve perfect defense?"

He gestured excitedly.

"Does that mean that defense will have to be stronger than offense from now on? As long as I stand still, no one can break through my magic shield!"

Upon hearing this, Li Hao shook his head and chuckled.

You're dreaming.

“Li Xiao’s frequency is fixed, like a target that doesn’t move, so we can gradually get used to it and find a frequency to counter it.”

"But real battles are ever-changing."

"The enemy will use all sorts of skills and attack you in all sorts of different ways. You simply don't have time to get used to and adapt to each of their attacks."

He paused, his expression turning serious.

"Furthermore, technique is ultimately just technique. When the difference in spiritual power becomes too great, any technique becomes meaningless."

"Just like a battle between different levels, no matter how perfect your defense is, the spiritual energy you use for defense may be completely exhausted in an instant by the opponent's overwhelming attack."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

The excitement that had risen within me from mastering the new skill cooled down a bit.

Indeed, combat is not an experiment; there can't be such an ideal environment.

Seeing the somewhat disappointed looks on everyone's faces, Li Hao suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"but……"

He deliberately dragged out his voice, successfully piquing everyone's curiosity.

"When you were practicing controlling your spiritual energy, did you make any... special discoveries?"

A remarkable discovery?
The group looked at each other, and they all saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Aside from feeling that my spiritual energy consumption has decreased, I don't seem to feel anything else...

Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Li Hao didn't point it out directly, but instead turned his gaze to Lin Xin.

"Lin Xin, let me ask you, what is the biggest difference between a professional breaking through from the fourth rank to the fifth rank and from the fifth rank to the sixth rank?"

Although Lin Xin did not understand what he meant, he still answered immediately.

"The difference between the fourth and fifth tiers lies in the liquefaction of spiritual energy, which can greatly increase the total amount and power of spiritual energy."

"The biggest difference between the fifth and sixth tiers lies in the opening of the 'spiritual aperture'!"

Li Hao nodded and continued, "What is the function of the spiritual aperture?"

This time, before Lin Xin could even speak, Chen Ying'er interrupted and answered, just like a good student actively answering the teacher's questions in class.

"The spiritual aperture has two main functions!"

The little girl held up two delicate white fingers and said in a clear voice.

"First, it greatly enhances the speed of spiritual energy recovery! As long as the spiritual aperture is opened, even in the blink of an eye, spiritual energy will recover on its own, greatly enhancing our ability to fight continuously!"

"Secondly, there's the transformation! The spiritual aperture possesses the ability to transform other types of energy into its own attribute energy in any environment! This allows us to maintain our combat effectiveness in any situation, greatly increasing our survivability on the battlefield!"

After Chen Ying'er and Lin Xin finished answering, they both looked at Li Hao with some confusion.

These are all basic facts that the temple instructors have already taught. Why is the commander suddenly asking this?

However, when they saw the enigmatic smile on Li Hao's face, their hearts skipped a beat.

An incredible thought flashed through everyone's minds like lightning.

In an instant, the expressions on the faces of the Fire Cloud Demon Hunters changed.

Those gazes, which were originally filled with curiosity and confusion, now seemed to have been doused with kerosene, instantly igniting and becoming incredibly intense and scalding!
Spiritual energy restored!

The spiritual aperture!

Aside from Li Hao, who is a freak, all of them are in the critical period of transitioning from the fifth to the sixth rank.

My most important goal recently is to sense and condense my own spiritual aperture, so as to break through to the ranks of sixth-level powerhouses!

Lin Xin reacted the fastest.

He closed his eyes almost instinctively.

Just as a new wave of fierce howls struck, while defending himself, he also diverted a sliver of his mind to his body, carefully sensing the changes in his own spiritual power.

The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes bursting with unbelievable ecstasy!

Soon!

It's almost here!

The speed at which his spiritual energy recovered actually increased!

Although the improvement wasn't huge, it was clearly noticeable!

Compared to before he arrived at this howling cave, he was at least 20% or 30% faster!

"Amazing! Commander, you're truly amazing!"

Lin Xin shouted excitedly, his eyes now filled with fanatical worship as he looked at Li Hao.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Sima Xian asked hurriedly.

Everyone else also cast eager glances their way.

Lin Xin took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and explained in a trembling voice.

"My spiritual energy recovery speed... has increased!"

"Do you understand what this means?"

"This means that our ability to sustain combat operations has not only increased."

"More importantly, our spiritual power will increase faster! We'll be able to sense the existence of spiritual apertures sooner than expected and condense them more easily!"

"The time it takes us to break through to the sixth rank will be greatly shortened!"

boom!
Lin Xin's words were like a bombshell, exploding in everyone's hearts!
Everyone gasped in shock.

Immediately afterwards, an unprecedentedly blazing flame ignited in everyone's eyes!
No one spoke anymore.

Li Hao didn't even need to say another word.

When the next wave of fierce howls came, everyone, including Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan who had been struggling the most, were affected.

They were all incredibly focused, as if they had been injected with adrenaline, and devoted themselves to the new round of training.

Resisting the fierce roar, gaining control, meditating to recover...

And so on and on.

This time, their goal was no longer just to safely enter the cave, but for that tangible hope that led to a higher realm!
What makes Li Hao even more gratified is that the atmosphere within the team is also quietly changing.

Lin Xin and Chen Ying'er were the two who learned the fastest.

During breaks from his own cultivation, he would proactively help and guide Sima Xian and Wang Yuanyuan, sharing his insights and experiences with enthusiasm and sincerity.

Looking at the scene before him, Li Hao smiled from the bottom of his heart.

This is what a team should be.

This is the true meaning of partnership.

Support each other and make progress together.

An individual's strength is ultimately limited.

A strong team, however, can create endless possibilities.

"This is the true meaning of the strong getting stronger!"
