Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 44 Cultivation

Lin Yizhang began to recall the principles of the "Six Styles of the Navy".

The first technique involves stomping on the ground dozens of times in a short period of time to generate explosive reaction force for high-speed movement, which appears to the enemy as if it were instantaneous teleportation.

It is similar to the Explosive Step. The difference is that the Explosive Step does not require the user to have a high level of physical strength, while this first move requires the user to have a high level of physical fitness, because even if the user uses soul power, a soul master whose physique is not strong enough cannot stomp the ground dozens of times in less than a second.

Lin Yizhang plans to use this principle to create his own "Instant Step".

The second technique: The principle is to accelerate blood flow and speed up muscle movement. This is a defensive skill that infuses power into a well-trained body, giving it the hardness of iron. Soul skills with average attack power simply cannot break through its defense.

Lin Yizhang plans to create a defensive, self-made soul skill called "Hard Body" based on this.

The third move: By releasing all the strength of the body and using the changes in airflow generated by the opponent's movements, the body becomes as thin as paper, allowing for easy and free control of the body, enabling the practitioner to dodge the enemy's attack at the last second.

Lin Yizhang plans to create "Following the Wind" based on this, a skill similar to Tang San's Crane Control and Dragon Capture. Lin Yizhang also thinks that he can create a "pseudo-Tai Chi" based on his understanding of Tai Chi in the future. However, he will have to wait until he has enough time.

The fourth technique: Use strong footwork to step on the air, generating strong air resistance, allowing you to walk in the air like climbing stairs, but you cannot stay in the air for too long.

Lin Yizhang plans to create "Air Step" based on this. This skill, which allows movement in the air, is extremely practical. It can be used to dodge an opponent's fatal blow, and it will prevent you from being too passive when facing an opponent who has flown into the air. Using it unexpectedly will surely yield amazing results...

Fifth move: Using an ultra-high-speed and powerful kick, a vacuum is created to generate a slashing attack on the opponent, which can easily split the target in two.

Lin Yizhang plans to create "Kick Slash" based on this, which can be used as an offensive soul skill.

Sixth move: Gather all the power in your body into your fingers, and unleash a lightning-fast strike with your hardened fingers. Your fingertips possess the power of a bullet.

Lin Yizhang plans to create "Finger Strike" based on this, which can be used as a defense-breaking soul skill and can also be used against enemies in close combat.

Lin Yizhang collectively refers to his seven self-created soul skills as the "Seven Styles": Instant Step, Hard Body, Following the Wind, Sky Step, Kick Slash, and Finger Strike, plus "Explosive Step." If he creates more skills in the future, they can be included in this category.

The aforementioned "six methods" are still only principles; whether they can be created is unknown. Even if they are created, how to apply them is currently just a concept. Only through practical testing can their practicality be known.

After clarifying these thoughts, Lin Yizhang immediately took out paper and pen to start formulating a specific plan. These "Six Forms" not only had principles but also needed to be put into practice, so Lin Yizhang wrote down the specific cultivation methods he had thought of on paper.

After formulating a specific cultivation plan, Lin Yizhang began his cultivation.

Time flies like an arrow, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Unlike those who just drift through life, Lin Yizhang has had a very fulfilling two years.

Since Lin Yizhang began practicing his six self-created soul skills, he has finally succeeded in mastering them today. At first, he thought it would only take a few months, but he never expected that these six skills would be so difficult to master! Lin Yizhang deeply understands the saying "One minute on stage requires a thousand days of practice off stage." He encountered countless difficulties, but he still persisted in practicing hard for two years, and now he has finally succeeded.

Recalling his arduous training days, Lin Yizhang felt a mix of emotions: joy, fear, pride, and a sense of accomplishment...

The joy of mastering Instant Step in a short time, the frustration of slowly practicing physical training, the despair of struggling to practice Wind Walk, the helplessness of finding it difficult to practice Air Step, Kick Slash, and Finger Strike...

But what touched Lin Yizhang most deeply was the comfort and encouragement from Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, as well as the "sparring partner" from his good brother Zhang Fan. If it weren't for them, given Lin Yizhang's enjoyable nature, it would have been impossible for him to persevere in his cultivation until he succeeded.

Instant Step, Hard Body, Following the Wind, Air Step, Kick and Slash, Finger Strike, Explosive Step. He had successfully mastered all seven techniques. Lin Yizhang planned to share this good news with Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan, and Zhang Fan. In short, a luxurious and delicious hot pot dinner was definitely in order tonight.

In a few days, the semester at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy will end, which means Tang San will soon graduate. Therefore, Tang San plans to go to Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang to ask about his post-graduation plans.

Arriving at the master's study, Tang San knocked on the door and went inside.

When Yu Xiaogang saw that it was Tang San, a somewhat stiff smile appeared on his rigid face. He looked at Tang San and said, "Little San, you're here. What do you need to see your teacher about?"

Tang San said, "I'm about to graduate from Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. I'd like to ask the teacher what arrangements are in place for me?"

Yu Xiaogang said, "I have indeed made arrangements for you, but whether you go or not is entirely up to you. I won't force you. I suggest you go to Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy in Soto City after graduation. This academy is very unique and suitable for you. Trust your teacher, this academy will not disappoint you. By the way, you can also bring Xiao Wu with you if you go."

Yu Xiaogang thought to himself: Three years ago, Flander wrote to me saying that his Shrek Academy had been registered as a formal advanced Soul Master Academy, and it still had the same enrollment rules as before. He wanted me to come and teach there. Now that Tang San has graduated from the junior academy, with his strength and the theoretical knowledge I personally taught him, he doesn't need to attend an intermediate Soul Master Academy at all. He can go to Shrek Academy. Then, I'll have Flander find a few more students, enough to make seven people, to participate in the grand Soul Master Competition two years later. With Tang San's talent, he'll definitely be noticed by those high-ranking figures. As Tang San's teacher, I'll definitely become famous throughout the entire continent. Those who look down on me then, hmph…

Tang San had no idea what Yu Xiaogang was thinking. After listening to the master's words, he nodded and said, "Okay, teacher, I will go to Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy to register. But I don't know if Xiao Wu will go with me. I'll go back and ask Xiao Wu first."

The master nodded and said, "Yes, given Xiaowu's attachment to you, I believe she will definitely go with you."
