Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 8 Reigning Supreme

When Yunming heard that Yang Wudi was going to teach him his own meditation method, he also pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

Yang Wudi began to speak.

"Meditation! It's a required course for every Soul Master to become stronger."

"Through meditation, Soul Masters can not only accumulate Soul Power and improve their hard power, but also gain a deeper understanding of their Martial Soul and enhance their soft power. This is extremely important for Soul Masters' later cultivation!"

"And meditation, as the name suggests, is the method of meditation."

"The most common and basic meditation method currently used on the mainland is to have Soul Masters introspect and visualize their own Martial Soul. The Soul Master actively promotes the absorption and transformation of the energy of heaven and earth by their own Martial Soul, thereby increasing their Soul Power. This is basically the meditation method taught in the primary Soul Master academies on the mainland."

"Although this meditation method is the root of all meditation methods in the world, it is very basic and inefficient. Its biggest advantage is that it is universal and can be practiced by anyone with any martial soul."

"However, for large Soul Master families and sects, since most members possess only one type of Martial Soul or the same kind, using this universal version would be too inefficient. To improve their cultivation, each family has developed its own exclusive meditation method tailored to the characteristics of its own Martial Soul. The current Seven Great Sects of the World, and our ancient Breaking Clan, are basically all using this method!"

At this point, Yang Wudi spoke earnestly to Yun Ming.

"This exclusive meditation method is one of the most important secrets of every Soul Master family. Although people from other families may not achieve the same results from practicing it, revealing this exclusive meditation method will allow enemies to understand the way one's soul power circulates, which is a very dangerous thing. Therefore, remember never to reveal your family's meditation method to outsiders or to investigate the meditation methods of other families. This is a taboo that cannot be crossed in the Soul Master world!"

Hearing his grandfather's solemn tone, Yunming realized the importance of the matter and responded earnestly with his handsome face.

"I understand, Grandpa!"

Seeing his grandson's adorable expression, Yang Wudi's originally serious expression faltered, and he smiled slightly before continuing to teach.

"Um!"

"And the key to our Soul-Breaking Meditation Technique of the Breaking Clan lies in..."

Yang Wudi then spent an hour teaching Yun Ming all the details of the meditation method and the potential problems he might encounter. Yun Ming absorbed and digested all the knowledge very well. Seeing that Yun Ming understood all the details and key points of the practice, Yang Wudi had Yun Ming begin his meditation practice while he watched over him.

Yun Ming calmed his mind and focused his inner vision on his martial soul. He saw the transparent and ethereal Sky-Supporting Spear floating amidst incandescent flames. Through his martial soul, Yun Ming also saw the omnipresent energy between heaven and earth. The starlight, like a dream, was beautiful, but this sight didn't particularly move Yun Ming, who was seeing it for the first time. He figured it was better to let his martial soul absorb the beautiful starlight. Then, following the Soul-Breaking Meditation Method taught by Yang Wudi, Yun Ming began to activate the Sky-Supporting Spear, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to cultivate his soul power.

However, as soon as Yun Ming started cultivating, he felt something was wrong. It wasn't that he couldn't cultivate soul power or that there was anything wrong with the soul power he did cultivate. After circulating the Soul-Breaking Meditation Technique, everything was just as Yang Wudi had described, so Yun Ming felt that he hadn't made a mistake. It was just that his instincts told him that he was very unsuited to this meditation technique, and that this shouldn't be the meditation technique he was using.

Driven by instinct, just like using a gun on himself, Yun Ming followed his instinctive habits and practiced a very strange meditation method. Not only was the way his soul power circulated strange, but after practicing it, Yun Ming felt his blood and qi boiling and his spirits soaring. Although his soul power grew much slower, the quality of his soul power was significantly higher than that of the soul power he had cultivated using the previous Soul Breaking Meditation Method.

Meanwhile, outside

Seeing that Yun Ming's soul power perfectly matched the Soul-Breaking Meditation Technique—unbreakable and indestructible—Yang Wudi nodded in satisfaction, inwardly praising him. "Truly worthy of being my grandson, Yang Wudi's comprehension is excellent; he did it so perfectly on his first try!" However, this good fortune didn't last long. Yang Wudi sensed that Yun Ming's soul power had changed, becoming more powerful and majestic, more domineering and awe-inspiring, giving the impression of a ruler reigning supreme!

This startled Yang Wudi. He never expected that Yun Ming would modify his meditation method on his first meditation session. This was a very dangerous act, and could easily ruin his entire Soul Master career. However, in order not to affect Yun Ming, Yang Wudi could only wait anxiously.

Just as Yang Wudi was getting impatient and was about to forcefully interrupt, Yun Ming stopped his meditation, opened his eyes, his handsome brows furrowed slightly, and began to think about the reason.

Seeing that his grandson's expression was off, Yang Wudi didn't bother to scold him. Instead, he asked anxiously.

"Ming'er, are you alright?"

While speaking, he also groped Yun Ming, checking if Yun Ming was injured anywhere.

Seeing his grandfather Yang Wudi's reaction, Yun Ming also stopped thinking and responded with some doubt.

"Grandpa, what are you doing? I'm fine!"

Seeing that Yun Ming was indeed unharmed, Yang Wudi's anger flared up immediately, and he began to reprimand Yun Ming.

"Yun Ming!!! Who gave you permission to modify the meditation method without authorization? Do you want to live too long?!"

"Or do you want me to experience again the pain of a parent outliving their child?!"

When Yunming saw his grandfather so angry that he even called him by his real name, he realized that he had acted rashly and felt apologetic, so he quickly admitted his mistake.

"Grandpa, I was wrong!"

When Yang Wudi saw Yun Ming, his eyes were lowered, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and the corners of his mouth were downturned. He was indeed filled with sincere regret and remorse. Yang Wudi's anger subsided a bit. With a sigh, he began to speak earnestly to Yun Ming.

"Ugh!"

"Ming'er, you are exceptionally talented, there's no need to rush. Your grandfather isn't worried about your future achievements, but he hopes you'll take good care of yourself!"

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

"Is that okay?"

Yun Ming looked up and saw the look of fear and pleading on Yang Wudi's resolute face. His heart also felt heavy, and he was speechless. He could only nod heavily.

Seeing Yun Ming nod, Yang Wudi said no more and began to ask Yun Ming why he changed his meditation method.

"Why did you change the meditation method? Did you discover a problem?"

Yunming honestly told his grandfather all his previous insights.

"Here's what happened."

After listening to Yun Ming's account and feeling the even higher quality soul power, Yang Wudi could not accept the fact that Yun Ming had created a more powerful meditation method!

Is this really possible? Is meditation something you can feel for yourself?! But the facts are right in front of you, you have to believe it or not.

Yang Wudi had originally wanted to try Yun Ming's new meditation method, but he found he couldn't do it. Even knowing the method of soul power circulation, he couldn't execute it. Seeing this, Yang Wudi sighed inwardly, realizing the vast difference between people! Sometimes it was even greater than the difference between humans and soul beasts. Was he not even qualified to learn it?!

This is understandable, as "Reign Supreme" was originally a self-created combat technique that combined spiritual power and physical attacks, created by Mu En, the first Limit Douluo and Dragon God Douluo of Shrek Academy, ten thousand years later. By the time of Yun Ming, after ten thousand years of refinement and summarization by successive masters of the Sea God Pavilion, it had long become a complete cultivation system, not only including the method of integrating and utilizing blood, soul power, and spiritual power, but also the method of enhancing and cultivating these three.

If there's any drawback to a top-tier secret technique, it's probably that it's too difficult! After all, those who can become the masters of Shrek Academy and the Sea God Pavilion are the most talented of the most talented in the world of soul masters. You can't expect these people to understand the ordinary.

Helpless, Yang Wudi could only let Yun Ming practice on his own, and be careful not to hurt himself.

P.S.: The benefits of the Instinct skill are limited to spear skills, spear-type martial soul ring planning, and the basic Dominator skill. Other abilities will be restored later, after the memories are unlocked; it's best to focus on the early game.
