Chapter 29 Gun Intent...Clear and Bright!
Seeing that her solar beam was about to hit her brother, Kong Ling's originally excited face instantly changed color and she began to tense up.
Because in her sight, her brother did not react to her attack at all, as if he was going to take the attack head-on.
Even knowing that her brother's physical abilities were comparable to those of a Soul Master, she still couldn't withstand the sun's divine light with her bare body.
The soul skill has already been unleashed, and it's too late to retract it now.
Not only Kong Ling, but Xu Wei and Xu Tianyi, who were standing next to Kong Xuan at this moment, were also somewhat surprised.
They were closer, so their observations were naturally more vivid.
If Kong Xuan were to use his soul skill now, he could completely block Kong Ling's beam of sunlight.
But why didn't Kong Xuan react? The two of them really couldn't figure it out.
Just as the group was lost in their own thoughts, the attack of the Sun God's Light had already reached Kong Xuan's front, shooting straight at his chest.
But what happened next left the three of them dumbfounded; they hadn't expected such an outcome.
The sunlight, like a sword of judgment, pierced through Kou Kongxuan's chest and finally landed on the soul guide barrier at the edge of the battle arena behind him, exploding into a golden rain of light.
However, Kong Xuan had no injuries whatsoever, not even the clothes on his chest were damaged, which clearly did not look like he had been hit by the Sun God's Light.
Of the three, only Xu Wei, who was closest to Kong Xuan, noticed something amiss.
Just now, he saw Kong Xuan's figure ripple like water, and the intense beam of sunlight seemed to pass through a layer of illusion.
Xu Wei felt that this was somewhat similar to his first soul skill, Lightning Flash, which granted him immunity to attacks!
Xu Tianyi's purple-gold vertical pupils contracted sharply as he observed Kong Xuan before him, thinking to himself, "There's no soul power fluctuation, and the soul rings aren't lit up... This isn't a soul skill's ability!"
Seeing that her brother was unharmed, Kong Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
But then she shouted, "Brother, did you cheat?"
Her words effectively put a pause on the battle.
Walking up to Xu Tianyi, Kong Ling looked her older brother up and down and asked, "Brother, did you use some kind of soul tool?"
Clearly, Kong Ling's judgment was the same as Xu Tianyi's: Kong Xuan had not used his soul skill just now.
But that bizarre scene was clearly not right. Since it wasn't a soul skill, it was very likely a soul tool.
They are students in the Soul Master class. Although they are currently at the Royal Soul Master Academy, they are not allowed to use Soul Tools in Soul Battles.
A wry smile flashed across Kong Xuan's face: "Of course not, and don't you know what kind of soul tool I have!"
Kong Ling thought about it and realized that it made sense; their soul tools were all configured by Kong Deming, in duplicate.
Therefore, the soul tools on both of them are the same, and no soul tool can do what was just done.
"So what exactly happened?"
Kong Ling asked curiously, knowing his brother as well as he did, that he didn't even know what was going on.
Kong Xuan smiled indulgently and said, "I made a breakthrough two days ago!"
As he spoke, Kong Xuan recalled the scene from two days ago.
That day, Kong Xuan had just finished his training in the gravity chamber during the day, and he didn't rest at night either, receiving training from his teacher Yun Ming in the sea of his mind.
Both of them wielded Sky-Piercing Spears, neither of them used any Soul Skills, and Yun Ming even suppressed his physical abilities to the same level as Kong Xuan.
But no matter how Kong Xuan attacked, Yun Ming remained calm and composed.
He even blocked all of Kong Xuan's attacks with just one hand holding the gun.
"alright!"
With a single shot, Yun Ming knocked Kong Xuan back several steps, and then called a halt to the marksmanship training session.
"You're in a bit of a rush!"
The Sky-Piercing Spear in his hand had vanished. Yun Ming stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in white, his eyes like stars.
Kong Xuan's expression shifted, clearly realizing his mistake.
"Teacher, I..."
Kong Xuan frowned and was about to explain when Yun Ming raised his hand to interrupt him.
"I know the reason. You want to concentrate your gun intent as soon as possible, but you also need to know that haste makes waste."
"Teacher, I have been training with you in shooting for two years. I feel like I am just one step away from mastering it, but now it seems like I can't take that last step."
Kong Xuan's voice was somewhat dejected. He had a very good talent for this body and learned things quickly. Even Yun Ming, who was very picky, praised him a lot.
However, he seemed to have encountered a bottleneck in refining his spear intent.
This was quite a blow to him, who had always had a smooth journey in his cultivation.
Yun Ming chuckled and said, "You think you're just one step away from success, but actually you're far from it!"
Kong Xuan's eyes widened upon hearing this, not understanding why Yun Ming said that.
"Intention is the extension of will and belief!"
Yun Ming raised his hand, and a wisp of silver light appeared in his palm, as fine as silk or mist, yet containing an indescribable sharpness.
"A person's will is as fierce as fire, burning everything in its path."
"The will of man is like a mountain, suppressing everything."
"Human intentions are like flowing water, penetrating everywhere."
"Whether it's spear intent or sword intent, it's all the same principle. What kind of spear intent are you pursuing?"
Kong Xuan honestly replied, "Once the spear is drawn, it is gone forever; it charges forward without hesitation!"
Although it was his first time traveling to the Douluo Continent, Kong Xuan was not exactly a novice in cultivation.
So from the moment he gripped the gun, he made a choice about his future with the gun.
He needs to quickly improve his strength, and the enemies he faces are far more powerful than he could have imagined.
Therefore, he needs that indomitable spirit, not only to improve his own strength, but also to have the courage to attack when the enemy attacks him before he has grown up!
In response to Kong Xuan's answer, Yun Ming smiled and said, "This kind of spear intent requires the support of an invincible heart. With your current strength and experience, you are not yet capable of truly condensing it!"
Kong Xuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and then couldn't help but ask, "But teacher, why didn't you stop me before?"
"That's right!" Yun Ming nodded: "I didn't stop you, because this is a necessary step in your growth process."
"But teacher, does that mean I can't concentrate my spear intent now?!"
Kong Xuan's voice was somewhat urgent; he also had some plans for improving his strength.
Now, it seems my plans are about to be disrupted.
"Your martial spirit is the Sky-Piercing Spear, but the meaning of Sky-Piercing Spear is not necessarily limited to domineering!"
"A spear can break through an army, and it can also guard the heart."
"A spear can subdue mountains, or it can... destroy me!"
Seeing Kong Xuan's confused look, Yun Ming said, "You can't just master one kind of spear intent. If you can't master the invincible intent of unstoppable advance right now, just find another one!"
In the world of Douluo Continent, controlling one's will seems incredibly difficult.
Every Soul Master who reaches this stage is a powerful figure in their lifetime.
But there are probably very few people who can say such a thing as casually as Yun Ming.
"Two years of gun training wasn't for nothing. Think carefully about the characteristics of these gun techniques, as well as the features of the Sky-Piercing Spear!"
"This is all I can do to help you. Whether you can comprehend the essence of the spear is up to you!"
After leaving these two sentences, Yun Ming's figure seemed to drift away like a gentle breeze in front of Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan stood there, stunned, his pupils suddenly contracting. The teacher's words struck his mind like a bolt of lightning.
He looked at the Sky-Piercing Spear in his hand, and scenes from the past flashed through his mind.
He was once obsessed with using brute force to overcome skill and pursued absolute dominance.
But the more this happened, the more sluggish the spear thrust became.
But now, Yun Ming's words made him suddenly understand...
A gun doesn't necessarily have to be sharp and conspicuous.
True spear intent can be formless and invisible, yet it is omnipresent.
He sat down cross-legged, slowly closed his eyes, and his aura gradually subsided.
Seeing this, Yun Ming, who was secretly observing, smiled slightly. He knew that his cheap disciple's talent was even stronger than his own. It seemed that there was nothing to worry about now that he had comprehended the spear intent.
An unknown amount of time passed in the sea of the spirit.
"Clang!"
The Sky-Piercing Spear beside Kong Xuan suddenly emitted a clear sound, and the spear shaft trembled slightly.
He opened his eyes, his golden pupils as deep as an abyss.
He stood up, raised his hand, and gripped the gun barrel!
"Emptiness, clarity, and no self."
As he spoke, his figure and the Sky-Piercing Spear in his hand seemed to fade away from space.
"Only then can the true meaning be seen."
Kong Xuan's figure solidified once more, his crystal-like Sky-Piercing Spear pointing diagonally at the ground, causing space to distort slightly, with faint, transparent ripples spreading outwards.
Yun Ming's figure appeared quietly, smiling at him with satisfaction.
Kong Xuan bowed deeply to Yun Ming: "Thank you for your guidance, teacher!"
He had already grasped the essence of the Empty Mirror Spear!
