Chapter 165 Final Stage
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Yu Tianyun arrived at the waterfall again, jumped into the water without hesitation, and swam toward the round stone.
This time, he seemed to have found some tricks, climbing the round stones with greater agility. Yesterday was a whole day of adaptation for him. Throughout the day, constantly being impacted by the flowing water, Yu Tianyun gradually recovered from the pain of being unable to use his soul power. With his strong spirit and meticulous observation, he gradually mastered the methods to cope.
Today, the time he spent on the round stone increased exponentially. From ten seconds yesterday, to one minute now, and then to ten minutes... He stood on the round stone for longer and longer periods, and the number of times he swung his fine iron spear also increased.
Exerting force on this perfectly smooth round stone was undoubtedly an extremely difficult and painful task. However, Yu Tianyun did not aim too high. Instead of directly attempting to cultivate the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique, he first tried to adapt to standing on the round stone, struggling to maintain his balance, while letting the waterfall wash over him.
Around noon, after eating some food, Yu Tianyun stood on the round stone again to withstand the impact of the waterfall. This time, he did not fall into the water again, and this state continued until nightfall.
On the third day, as dawn broke, Yu Tianyun stood on the round stone again, appearing remarkably relaxed and natural. He began to try practicing a basic set of marksmanship, but each movement seemed exceptionally clumsy.
He had to endure the impact of the water while simultaneously maintaining perfect aim with his spear; keeping his balance was an incredibly difficult task. Before he could even finish one move, he lost his balance and was mercilessly swept into the pool by the waterfall.
But he never thought of giving up, repeating the same movements again and again, his sweat mingling with the waterfall's water, indistinguishable from one another.
As time went on, Yu Tianyun gradually adapted to wielding his spear under the impact of the water, and his movements became increasingly fluid. However, there was still a considerable gap between him and successfully mastering a basic spear technique.
"puff……"
The fine iron spear cut a brief line through the waterfall, and after swinging it in a circle, Yu Tianyun put the spear away and stood still.
"Finally, I succeeded! Ah~" Yu Tianyun was overjoyed, but his joy was only halfway over when he lost his balance due to his excitement and was once again swept off the round stone by the waterfall.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately surfaced, climbed back onto the round rock, and continued practicing his marksmanship.
Today is the fifth day of his special training. After persistent efforts, he was finally able to execute the first move of the basic gun technique completely, and he did not slip off the round stone when he exerted force again.
Once you have the first move, you'll have the second. As Yu Tianyun continued to hone his skills, he began to execute basic spear techniques one after another.
Through day after day of diligent training, Yu Tianyun wielded the basic spear techniques with increasing skill and ease on the round stones beneath the waterfall. His posture became more and more stable under the impact of the water, and as he wielded his spear, he seemed to become one with the waterfall. Thus, he also began to try the Soul-Shattering Spear Technique.
The Soul-Breaking Spear Technique originally consisted of seven power-generating techniques, and it would naturally be greatly affected by this waterfall.
At the very beginning, the immense force of the waterfall instantly disrupted his rhythm. He couldn't muster any strength at all, and due to a slight deviation in his center of gravity, he was caught by the rushing water and instantly swept off the round rock.
Yu Tianyun, who had fallen into the water, quickly surfaced, his eyes showing no sign of dejection, only unwavering determination. He swam towards the round rock again, climbed up, and continued to devote himself wholeheartedly to his practice.
He failed time and time again, climbing back up the round stone each time, constantly adjusting and improving his movements, while recalling the key points Yang Wudi had explained to him and reflecting on his mistakes.
Gradually, he gained a deeper understanding of the power exertion techniques of the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique. First, he comprehended "shock," then he mastered "explosion," and then he understood "break." He gradually mastered each move.
In the blink of an eye, four months have passed.
After countless failures and setbacks, Yu Tianyun finally succeeded in smoothly and perfectly executing the complete Soul-Breaking Spear Technique under the waterfall.
At this moment, all the muscles in his body were tense, and the spear in his hand was like a nimble and fierce dragon, tumbling up and down in the waterfall, sometimes breaking through a water line of tens of meters, sometimes shaking out a barrier with a diameter of more than ten meters, ... forming a series of breathtaking scenes.
Those breathtaking scenes are all manifestations of the unique effects of the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique displayed in the waterfall.
At this moment, even without using any of his soul power, his attack power was comparable to that of a Soul Saint or higher.
Jumping off the round rock and swimming to the shore, Yu Tianyun was overwhelmed with excitement. After four months, he had finally completed the Soul-Shattering Spear Technique under the waterfall, fulfilling Yang Wudi's request.
He pondered to himself, "Shouldn't I have mastered the Soul-Shattering Spear Technique? No, Yang Wudi said there's one last stage, could it be...?"
Yang Wudi's gaze swept over Yu Tianyun. After four months, Yu Tianyun's skin was still as fair as when he first arrived, and the muscles on his bare upper body hadn't changed much, indicating that Yu Tianyun's original physical condition was extremely strong. However, his eyes had become completely different from before, turning into cold stars and radiating a sharp light.
"Grandpa, I succeeded. I can now perform all seven forms of the Soul-Shattering Spear Technique in the waterfall," Yu Tianyun said calmly.
Yang Wudi nodded with a smile. He simply couldn't keep a straight face at this moment. Yu Tianyun was just too outstanding, so outstanding that he couldn't help but praise him: "Tianyun, you did very well. You are the most talented person I have ever seen. Now, you have one last stage of training."
As he spoke, he walked to a large tree, grabbed it with one hand, and his hand cut into the trunk like a sharp blade. The entire tree was snapped in two as if it were a bubble.
Then, Yang Wudi's hands moved swiftly, and after a flurry of wood chips, a long spear appeared in his hand. It was exactly the same as the fine iron spear in Yu Tianyun's hand, but it was made from a whole tree.
Yu Tianyun was not surprised at all. He was confident that he could do it even faster than Yang Wudi. He just thought to himself, "I knew it."
Then Yang Wudi handed the wooden spear to Yu Tianyun and took back the fine iron spear. He then said, "Next, you will use this wooden spear to practice the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique under the waterfall. If the shaft breaks, you will have to make a new one yourself. After you have mastered it, I will give you a gift."
Without saying a word about what the gift was, Yang Wudi returned to his cave.
Yu Tianyun was slightly curious about Yang Wudi's gift, but he didn't take it too seriously. He really didn't care much about things worth less than a 100,000-year-old soul bone. His gaze fell on the wooden spear in his hand; Yu Tianyun knew that the training ahead would be even more difficult.
After four months of using that heavy iron spear, he would definitely feel extremely uncomfortable switching to this light wooden spear.
Sure enough, when he climbed onto the round rock under the waterfall, he immediately sensed something was wrong. With a slight swing of his spear, his body swayed under the impact of the rushing water, and he was almost swept off the round rock.
You see, after four months of training, his body was already able to adhere firmly to the smooth round stone like a suction cup. This sudden unsteady gait, although expected, still surprised him a little.
Yu Tianyun immediately realized the difference. The spear in his hand had changed from a fine iron spear to a wooden spear, and the weight difference was huge. This caused a great change in his original center of gravity and the impact he received. At the same time, it naturally became much more difficult to stand up.
Four months of training under the waterfall enriched Yu Tianyun's experience. He did not immediately practice spear techniques, but stood steadily on the round stone, gripped the spear tightly, and gently swung it, carefully feeling the force exerted on the spear in the water.
The seemingly light and flimsy wooden spear was subjected to a more significant impact from the waterfall. This was because its weight had been reduced while its surface area remained unchanged, making it more susceptible to the effects of the waterfall and thus more difficult for Yu Tianyun to control.
When Yu Tianyun felt he could stand firmly, he began to practice basic gun techniques.
Yu Tianyun was able to execute the first and second moves with difficulty, but he felt extremely uncomfortable. The change in force made it very difficult for him to handle. When he got to the third move, the wooden spear finally could not withstand the impact of the huge water flow and broke with a "crack". The wooden spear was thus ruined.
Yu Tianyun didn't feel disappointed, which was normal. He jumped off the round rock, swam to the shore, and then chopped down dozens of giant trees with his bare hands. After a flurry of wood chips, he made a pile of identical spears.
Such training would definitely consume a lot of wooden guns, so he simply made more at once to avoid wasting time.
Then he continued to climb onto the round stone for training. From that day on, Yu Tianyun's final special training began.
He cannot use his soul power now, so he cannot inject it into the wooden spear to protect it. All he can do is to be more sensitive to the force exerted on the wooden spear and control his power as much as possible so that the wooden spear will not be broken by the impact of the water flow, nor by his own strength.
Time slipped away quietly amidst Yu Tianyun's arduous training. Day after day, he relentlessly battled the light, fluttering wooden spear beneath the waterfall.
At first, the wooden spear broke frequently. Almost every time Yu Tianyun tried to perform a few basic spear techniques, the spear would break under the strain. But he was not discouraged. Every time it broke, he would take out a new one from his storage ring without hesitation and continue practicing. Gradually, the number of broken spears in his hands began to decrease.
Eight months later.
It was as if a dragon had appeared beneath the waterfall, constantly churning and playing, stirring up the entire waterfall into chaos. Sometimes the water flowed upstream for dozens of meters, and sometimes it was cut off in the middle for dozens of meters. Various shocking scenes appeared from time to time. However, these scenes were not actually the work of a dragon, but rather Yu Tianyun wielding a wooden spear and performing the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique.
Yu Tianyun sheathed his spear and stood on the round rock, letting the waterfall wash over him. The wooden spear in his hand seemed to have become one with him, exuding an unparalleled aura, sharp and domineering. This was the spear intent he had comprehended.
He had been practicing the Soul-Shattering Spear Technique for a full year. He practiced continuously under the waterfall, from a fine iron spear to a wooden spear. His understanding of the Soul-Shattering Spear Technique gradually deepened, and now it had reached its peak. He had successfully comprehended his own spear intent.
Now, even without using the spear, he can unleash the seven forms of the Soul-Shattering Spear Technique with just his fists and feet. If he uses his soul power and replaces the spear in his hand with the Blue Lightning Overlord Spear, he can't imagine what kind of enormous damage his simple spear could unleash.
Without a doubt, his combat strength has been greatly improved in the past year.
