Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 16 Mysterious Spirit Python

After finishing his theory class, Yun Ming returned to his courtyard for dinner. Because of his cultivation of "Ruling the World," his meals required a high level of nutrition. Yang Wudi had someone specifically in charge of purchasing Yun Ming's food, which consisted entirely of soul beast meat cooked with various medicinal herbs—highly nourishing dishes. While others could eat it occasionally, they couldn't digest it regularly, so Yun Ming didn't eat with the others at the clan school.

After finishing his lunch—two hearty dishes: the Ten-Thousand-Year Silver Mastiff Pig Blood Soup and the Thousand-Year Fire Crane Leg Rice—Yunming returned to the clan school to continue his lessons.

The afternoon classes are physical education classes, and there is a basic pharmacology class in the evening.

During physical education class, after the instructor assigned the running task, Yang Yi immediately started competing against Yun Ming, keeping a close eye on him the entire time. He did the same with other physical education activities, such as frog jumps and dragging a tripod; Yang Yi would compete against Yun Ming in anything that was competitive.

Yun Ming didn't tolerate Yang Yi's infidelity and wouldn't let him win anything. However, Yun Ming was two years younger, so his victories weren't easy either; it was a case of "hurting the enemy a thousand, but losing eight hundred of his own," as he painstakingly inflicted a thoroughly satisfying defeat on Yang Yi for an entire afternoon.

As for the medicine class, apart from Yun Ming and a few others who were interested in medicine, everyone else found it quite difficult, with Yang Lin being the most representative of those who struggled. He was so frustrated that he almost cried. Many medicinal herbs looked similar to him, but they just didn't have the same name. After one class, he almost drove the clan teacher crazy.

When Yunming returned to his courtyard after a day of classes, the bright moon was already high in the sky.

After washing up, Yun Ming began cultivating "Reigning Supreme". However, as soon as he started practicing the technique, Yun Ming found that cultivating "Reigning Supreme" today seemed to be smoother than in the previous half month. Whether it was his blood and qi, soul power or spiritual power, they were all more active than before.

During the operation of "Reign Supreme," an unprecedented sense of power spread throughout my body, as if all my meridians had opened up. The feeling was simply wonderful. There was a tingling sensation in my limbs and bones, as if they were growing.

Two hours later, Yun Ming opened his eyes. If anyone were in the room, they would see his eyes brimming with spiritual light—clear, bright, and crystal clear, as vivid as agate, radiating a unique charm. Yun Ming felt the accumulation of soul power after this cultivation session. Compared to before, the speed of soul power accumulation had increased by 10% after today's training. This increase might not seem large, but over time, it would be a considerable number. To find the reason, Yun Ming began to analyze the differences between today and usual, silently reciting to himself.

"Today I went to the clan school, practiced shooting, read books, beat up Yang Yi, ate, did physical training, and studied medicine."

A glint of light flashed in Yun Ming's eyes, and he quickly found the problem. He had been practicing his spear, fighting, and eating every day for the past two weeks; the only difference was that today's physical training was much more intense. Because of the high-intensity physical competition with Yang Yi during the afternoon, Yun Ming was particularly tired today. It seemed he was exhausted; after all, it couldn't be that academic studies had increased his cultivation speed! Otherwise, how could the Martial Soul Theory master, Yu, still be at this level?

After clearing his blockage through meditation, Yun Ming went to sleep and rest. Due to the special nature of "Ruling the World," each cultivation session consumed his Qi and blood, as well as his spiritual energy. While Qi and blood could be replenished by eating highly nutritious food, the best way to restore spiritual energy, aside from some rare and precious natural treasures, was through sleep. Therefore, Yun Ming needed to sleep for two hours every day. He couldn't bear the pain of completely replacing sleep with meditation, as it would be detrimental to his cultivation.

Compared to other geniuses on the mainland who don't sleep all year round, Yun Ming's daily meditation routine is much more comfortable. This might be because Yang Ying's blessing on her son had an effect, allowing Yun Ming to instinctively remember "Ruling the World" even though he had lost all memories of his past life's secret techniques!

From then on, Yunming entered a peaceful period of basic development.

six years later

Somewhere on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest

A large snake, about six meters long, with black scales that shimmered with a spiritual light, emerged frantically from the dense forest. Upon seeing the fast-flowing stream in the distance, its deep yellow vertical pupils lit up as if it had seen hope, and it crawled towards the stream with even greater effort.

As the giant snake emerged from the dense forest, its black scales torn and its blood flowing freely were exposed to the sunlight.

Just as the giant snake was less than ten meters from the stream, a silver light shot out from the dense forest behind it, hurtling towards the snake. In the blink of an eye, it caught up with the snake, pinned its tail to the ground, and pinned it to the ground.

The snake's tail was pierced, and the large snake let out a shrill hiss in pain, which contained not only pain but also a deep despair.

"Hiss~!"

When the silver light dissipated, it turned out to be a long spear that was completely transparent and had ethereal silver patterns. Judging from the length of the spear shaft that was exposed on the ground, most of the spear shaft was probably buried underground, which showed how powerful the spear was.

The giant snake writhed and struggled desperately, but before it could break free, three figures emerged from the dense forest behind it. The leader, wielding a twelve-foot-long, dark spear, had six differently colored spirit rings pulsating across his body—a Spirit Emperor-level Soul Master. Upon seeing the snake pinned to the ground and writhing wildly, the man's body glowed brightly red. He then leaped forward, transforming into a black shadow, appearing above the snake's head. With a flourish of his spear, he struck the black-scaled snake directly at its vital point.

The giant snake was attacked in its vital heart area, causing insufficient blood supply, and was knocked unconscious with a single blow.

After the giant snake was knocked unconscious, the spear embedded in its body disappeared. The Soul Emperor checked the snake and, confirming it wasn't dead, relaxed. The snake was already badly injured, and then it took two more spear thrusts; the Soul Emperor was genuinely afraid it would have been killed instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the other two people who emerged from the dense forest also arrived beside the giant snake. Before they could even get close, the aloof young man in black asked the Soul Emperor expert with some anxiety.

"Uncle Hong, is the Xuanling Python still alive?"

The Soul Emperor powerhouse known as "Uncle Hong" answered.

"Still alive!"

The boy in black hadn't even had a chance to relax after hearing the reply when he heard the other person add another sentence.

"However, judging from the Xuanling Python's barely conscious state, it's hard to say how much longer it can live!"

The black-clad youth didn't say much upon hearing this. He raised his right hand, and a jet-black spear, identical to the one his "Uncle Hong" carried, appeared in his hand, only lacking four spirit rings. He then thrust it into the heart of the Xuanling Python, piercing it directly. The Xuanling Python twitched a few times and then stopped moving, presumably having been close to death. A dazzling purple spirit ring floated above its head. Then, the youth spoke to his "Uncle Hong."

"That'll do!"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

After speaking, he immediately sat cross-legged and began meditating to adjust his state before absorbing the soul ring. Seeing the black-clad youth begin meditating, the Soul Emperor praised the other white-clad youth who had followed him.

"Ming'er, thanks to your shot, otherwise this Xuanling Python might have really gotten away."

The young man in white smiled slightly and responded calmly.

"Uncle Hong, you jest. Even without my intervention, I believe this Xuanling Python cannot escape your grasp!"

The Soul Emperor was pleased to hear the white-robed youth's words. Although what the youth said wasn't entirely untrue, the youth's respect was still pleasing. If his own brat were here, he would definitely be mocking his father for almost letting a Soul Emperor with over a thousand years of cultivation escape from his grasp.

"That's true!" the Long Spear Soul Emperor replied calmly, though his expression betrayed his arrogance.

All three are members of the Breaking Clan. The boy in black is Yang Yi, the former number one genius of the Breaking Clan, and the Soul Emperor is Yang Hong, the spearmanship instructor of the current generation of the Yang family.

The last boy in white is none other than our protagonist, Yun Ming.
