Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 12 Cultivation Techniques and Meditation Methods! The Arrogance of a Young Man! (Seeking Recommendation Votes)

The Great Brightness Technique can enhance a cultivator's affinity with the light element, which greatly surprised Zhu Ziyang. The appearance of the Great Brightness Technique directly strengthened his previously hesitant mind.

Focusing on the Light attribute and supplementing it with the Death attribute is a path that promises him a brilliant future!

Of course, the most important factor is the inherent value of the Great Brightness Technique itself. It enhances both spiritual power and physical constitution while cultivating soul power. A meditation method with such an effect is probably unique across the entire continent. Meditation might cultivate spiritual power, but it absolutely cannot enhance physical constitution. The importance of physical constitution to a soul master is self-evident, as it is directly linked to the maximum number of soul rings a soul master can withstand.

On the mainland, Soul Masters have very limited methods to enhance their physique. Absorbing Soul Rings strengthens the physique, which is the most basic improvement. Consuming rare and precious herbs can also enhance physique, but this method is only suitable for heirs of powerful families. Another method is regular training. Running like an ordinary person can enhance physique, as can self-harming training under immense pressure.

However, none of these can achieve what the Great Brightness Technique does: subtly and gradually enhances a Soul Master's physique during cultivation.

Zhu Ziyang felt an unprecedented sense of confidence.

After a night of cultivation, Zhu Ziyang's mental state was better than ever before. He felt extremely relaxed, and the fatigue from the past few days of running around had been swept away. He was in excellent condition.

"Great, let's go for a run with Nan Nan!" Zhu Ziyang quickly got up, finished washing up, and walked out of the house towards Jiang Nan Nan's house.

When they arrived at Jiang Nannan's house, they happened to meet Jiang Nannan's mother, Bai Xinyi.

"Aunt Bai!" Zhu Ziyang called out.

"Xiao Yang, congratulations on becoming a true Soul Master!" Bai Xinyi smiled gently upon seeing Zhu Ziyang, her voice filled with genuine joy. Bai Xinyi really liked this village chief's son; he was intelligent, sensible, and a genius with innate full soul power. Most importantly, he was very good to her Nannan. If Nannan could be with him in the future, she could die in peace!

"Haha, I'm alright!" Zhu Ziyang laughed, then asked, "Aunt Bai, is Nannan up?"

"Yes! She's already gone for a run!" Bai Xinyi said with a smile. "While you were hunting for spirit rings these past few days, Nan Nan has been getting up half an hour earlier every day to run."

"Really?!" Zhu Ziyang was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, then said, "In that case, I'll go find her. Goodbye, Aunt Bai."

"Okay, goodbye!" Bai Xinyi looked at Zhu Ziyang's back, seemingly lost in thought.

When Zhu Ziyang found Jiang Nannan, the girl was running and drenched in sweat, her bangs even damp with sweat and clinging to her smooth forehead. She ran right past Zhu Ziyang without even noticing him.

"Nan Nan!" Zhu Ziyang called out, somewhat speechless.

"Huh?" Jiang Nannan suddenly heard someone call her name and subconsciously answered. However, her legs didn't stop moving until she had run thirty or forty meters before she realized, "That voice just now was... Brother Ziyang?!"

The little girl immediately stopped and turned around, only to see Zhu Ziyang standing on the rocks by the roadside, smiling and waving at her.

"Yay! Brother Ziyang!" Jiang Nannan jumped up happily and immediately ran towards Zhu Ziyang.

Zhu Ziyang naturally couldn't stand still, so he ran towards the little girl as well.

Then, they met again. Jiang Nannan excitedly hugged him, pressing her head against Zhu Ziyang's neck. Seven days—the longest they had ever been apart. Every morning when she went for her run, she couldn't help but think of Zhu Ziyang's company, always feeling an emptiness in her heart, a feeling she couldn't quite describe. Perhaps, this was what Sister Ahua and the others meant by love!

The sudden hug left Zhu Ziyang momentarily stunned, before he finally embraced Jiang Nannan. A smile spread across his face.

About three or four minutes later, Jiang Nannan finally let go of Zhu Ziyang, took a half step back, her face slightly flushed, and stared blankly at Zhu Ziyang with a silly smile.

"What's wrong, Nan Nan? Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhu Ziyang asked, puzzled.

"N-nothing." Jiang Nannan quickly lowered her head, shook her head, and then looked up at Zhu Ziyang again, saying, "Brother Ziyang, you're back. Have you obtained your spirit ring yet?"

"That's right!" Zhu Ziyang said with a confident smile, "I'm already a level 11 Soul Master!"

As he spoke, he released his spirit ring, a bright yellow ring that rose beneath his feet, making his already delicate appearance appear even more noble.

"Is this a spirit ring? It's so beautiful!" Jiang Nannan stared at the yellow spirit ring, full of envy.

"Don't worry, with your talent, Nan Nan, you'll definitely reach level 10 in less than two months. Then Dad and I will take you to find your soul ring!" Zhu Ziyang patted Jiang Nan Nan's shoulder and encouraged her.

"Yes! I will definitely work hard to cultivate!" Jiang Nannan was a strong and independent child after all. She quickly snapped out of her envy and said with a firm look in her eyes.

"This is the real Nannan!" Zhu Ziyang said, unaware of the problem in his words. He was thinking about whether he could teach Jiang Nannan the Great Brightness Technique, but the moment the thought crossed his mind, the word "forbidden" popped into his head.

Well! He was helpless; this was a limitation of the Great Brightness Technique, and only those who were recognized were qualified to learn it.

It seems Zhu Changhe and Liang Ying are also unable to cultivate. He had already taught them the Lesser Brightness Breathing Technique, but they haven't responded, clearly because, like Jiang Nannan, they haven't gained acceptance.

"What a pity," Zhu Ziyang sighed inwardly.

Jiang Nannan didn't realize it either, perhaps because she had been used to Zhu Ziyang's words since she was a child.

"By the way, Nan Nan, have you practiced the breathing technique I taught you?" Zhu Ziyang suddenly asked.

"Yes, people practice it every time they run, and they also practice it before meditating every night," Jiang Nannan replied without hesitation.

"Very good, have you noticed any changes?" Zhu Ziyang asked thoughtfully, his eyes gleaming.

"Changes? Hmm, does the increased cultivation speed count? I can already circulate my energy eight times!" The little girl said thoughtfully, head down. "And, and, after running, I'm not panting as heavily as before!"

"I see!" Zhu Ziyang squinted and mumbled.

Jiang Nannan was able to circulate her soul power eight times, which was within his expectations, given her innate talent; it shouldn't be significantly related to the Lesser Brightness Breathing Technique. This was likely the limit of Jiang Nannan's soul power circulation. If she wanted to surpass this bottleneck, it would probably require a second awakening of her martial soul or encountering other extraordinary opportunities. The fact that her breathing was no longer heavy after running was likely due to the slight strengthening of her body after her martial soul awakening, and it also had little to do with the Lesser Brightness Breathing Technique.

Come to think of it, Jiang Nannan has only had the Little Brightness Breathing Technique for six or seven days, how could it be effective so quickly?

Having figured this out, Zhu Ziyang smiled and said, "Well, Nannan, you can train with her from now on. If a wisp of energy that is completely different from soul power appears in your Tanzhong acupoint, remember to tell me."

"I understand," Jiang Nannan said with a sweet smile.

"Alright, let's go back now. Look at you, you're all sweaty and smelly!"

"No way! Brother Ziyang, you're lying!"

"Hahaha!"

The two of them jogged and played around all the way home.

After returning home, Zhu Ziyang pondered the possibility of combining the Great Brightness Technique with meditation to develop a new meditation method.

If the elders of the Soul Master world knew of Zhu Ziyang's ideas, they would surely scoff and rebuke him, saying, "A mere six-year-old brat dares to try and innovate meditation methods? That's utterly delusional!"

However, Zhu Ziyang didn't care. After all, he was a man who carried hundreds of thousands of books!
