Chapter 205: Lone Bamboo Soul Bone Skill, Blue Silver Pole Vault Double Jump!
After hearing Tang Hao's analysis, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San both felt that it made some sense, and the heavy weight in their hearts eased somewhat.
Next, Tang Hao laid out the training plan he had prepared in advance.
Tang Hao decided to personally take Tang San to a nearby waterfall outside Nuoding City for harsh training.
There, he would begin teaching Tang San, hand in hand, the Clear Sky Sect's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique!
Although Tang San's current soul power rank was still too low, and he likely could not continuously swing the heavy Clear Sky Hammer many times,
as long as he was willing to endure hardship and persist under the tremendous impact of the rushing water,
Combined with the constant battering from the waterfall's violent pressure day and night, it would absolutely bring tremendous improvement to Tang San's physical body.
As for Yu Xiaogang, Tang Hao also asked him to come along to the waterfall.
After all, Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's theory teacher, possessing systematic knowledge reserves.
This was something Tang Hao did not have.
After Tang San finished his daily strength training with the Clear Sky Hammer, the remaining time would be when Yu Xiaogang explained martial soul theory to him.
Regarding Tang Hao's proposal, Yu Xiaogang naturally agreed without hesitation.
He also understood the severity of the damage to Tang San's foundation. Only this kind of devilish training would prevent Tang San from falling too far behind his peers.
However, after finalizing the future training plan,
Yu Xiaogang still could not suppress his curiosity. Looking at Tang San, he asked,
"Xiao San, what kind of soul skill did that ten-year lone bamboo soul bone forcibly grant you?"
"And your second soul ring, what exactly does its soul skill do?"
Yu Xiaogang suggested, "You should demonstrate them here in detail."
"Only by understanding your actual skill effects can we properly plan your cultivation route."
Hearing this, Tang San's expression immediately became somewhat unpleasant, but a teacher's command could not be disobeyed, and his teacher's words made sense.
He nodded. They came to an open space, and he began circulating his newly advanced soul power.
A white ten-year soul ring slowly rose from beneath his feet. Gritting his teeth, Tang San unleashed his freshly obtained second soul skill.
"Second Soul Skill: Blue Silver Pole Vault!"
As his voice fell, a strand of Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's hand instantly straightened and extended, turning into an extremely sturdy and thick bamboo pole!
Tang San skillfully grasped the pole, and using the powerful rebound force, shot upward into the air with a "whoosh"!
Immediately after, while still midair, Tang San activated the attached skill of the ten-year right leg soul bone.
"Lone Bamboo Right Leg Bone Skill: Blue Silver Pole Vault Double Jump!"
With the activation of the soul bone skill, Tang San's body, which had already begun to descend, suddenly, without any foothold in midair, used a newly formed pole to leap upward once again!
"Tap."
After finishing the demonstration, Tang San lightly landed back on the ground, but his face alternated between pale and flushed, and he was extremely embarrassed.
Having witnessed this entire set of "divine skills," Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang both fell into a deathly silence.
Only the heavy breathing of the three remained in the open space, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive.
These two seasoned veterans of the soul master world frowned deeply, racking their brains.
But to their dismay, they could not think of any practical use for this ridiculous combination of soul skill and soul bone skill in actual combat.
It had absolutely no offensive power and no control ability.
Its only function was to let Tang San hold a broken bamboo pole and jump higher like a circus act!
…
Over these four long years, Tang San trained every day beneath the waterfall outside Nuoding City, enduring Tang Hao's devilish tempering.
Day after day of Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer training not only drained his stamina to the extreme but also, through repeated overexertion beyond his limits, relentlessly tempered his flesh and bones.
Over these years, under Tang Hao's harsh physical training, Tang San's overall strength has improved tremendously.
Although he had unfortunately absorbed a ten-year white soul ring, the burden brought by that low-level soul ring did not seem to have caused too much negative impact on his body for now.
After reaching adulthood, just like in the original trajectory, his soul power had still reached rank twenty-nine, a two-ring Soul Grandmaster.
Although his second soul ring was white, this was largely thanks to Tang Hao's daily devil training, which enhanced his physique and compensated for that deficiency.
Moreover, Tang San's soul power had always been cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill, rather than relying solely on the innate soul power of his martial soul.
Therefore, the fact that his second soul ring was white did not significantly affect his cultivation speed in the short term.
After completing this phase of waterfall training, Tang San still followed the original plan. Under Yu Xiaogang's recommendation, he headed to Shrek Academy.
However, this time, since he did not travel together with Xiao Wu along the way, unlike in the original story, it was Tang San and Yu Xiaogang who arrived together at Suo Tuo City.
Because Yu Xiaogang was leading, they did not stay at the Rose Hotel filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Thus, Tang San did not have the intense conflict with Dai Mubai in the hotel lobby as in the original story, and the two did not meet in advance.
Yes, Dai Mubai had still been unable to withstand Dai Weisi's pressure and had come to Shrek Academy.
While wandering around Suo Tuo City, after some bargaining, Tang San still obtained that piece of crystal in Flender's shop.
Early the next morning, Tang San came alone to the gates of Shrek Academy outside the city, preparing to register as a new student.
However, when he truly stood there, the scene before him was completely different from the high-level academy he had imagined.
The famous Shrek Academy was actually located in a remote and shabby village outside the city.
A crude gate made of a few decaying wooden beams, along with the surrounding dilapidated thatched huts, made the place look extremely rundown.
Tang San thought to himself, Is this really a soul master academy?
However, when he saw the long queue at the village entrance, with so many parents bringing their children from afar to enroll, his doubts lessened somewhat.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and quietly stood at the back of the line to wait.
He thought to himself that perhaps this seemingly shabby academy might bring him a great surprise.
