After being baptized by the immortal herbs, several students of Lanba Academy all achieved breakthrough leaps in strength.
Among them, Yu Tianheng, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing all completed their advancements, and only needed to obtain spirit rings before they could become a Spirit Ancestor and Spirit Elders respectively.
Oscar also reached level 35, but unfortunately he lost three petals, otherwise a conservative estimate was that he could have risen another level.
Liu Erlong also gained tremendous benefits, although her spirit power did not change, her combat strength was now on a completely different level,
Originally her flames were of the comparatively soft and feminine kind, but now her golden flames, when released at full strength, had become extremely violent.
What made Yu Xiaowei somewhat annoyed was that Liu Erlong's golden flames could actually explode too.
Now among the people connected to him, Dugu Bo had already turned into an explosion maniac, and when sparring with Yu Yuanzhen, he often shook the clan grounds like there was an earthquake.
And now, judging by how excited Liu Erlong was in the simulated cultivation environment, she was obviously going to be the next explosion maniac.
Then thinking of his own breath attack that could likewise explode, so Lanba Academy was basically a bunch of Deidaras now.
Tsk tsk, thinking about how all three of them used breath-type explosions, it seemed Lanba Academy's slogan could totally be changed in the future to, range is truth, yield is justice!
Now Xiao Wu had also already been captured and brought to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and they only had to wait for Lin Li to reach level 90 before they could start slaughtering her.
In this spirit beast capture operation, it could be said that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had reaped all the benefits, not only was their own clan about to gain another Titled Douluo, but the one obtaining the hundred-thousand-year spirit bone was also their own son-in-law.
However, precisely because of this, there were quite a few dissatisfied voices within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, after witnessing Dugu Bo and Yu Yuanzhen seize the spirit beast without injury, some clan elders believed that the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone should both have belonged to the clan, yet Yu Xiaowei had given half of them away.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Ning Fengzhi decided to teach Yu Xiaowei one of their hereditary secret arts, which could also be considered compensation for an ally and in-law.
Distraction Control.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's exclusive secret technique, not only was it a divine skill for support-type spirit masters and control-type spirit masters, for assault-type battle spirit masters, it was likewise a divine skill.
Because the greatest features of Distraction Control.
One was enhancing a spirit master's ability to perceive the surrounding environment.
The other was that during spirit battles or combat, even a battle spirit master who only possessed the Three Apertures Governing Heart could allocate spirit power and spirit skills, as well as grasp the battlefield situation, with greater clarity and insight.
If an assault-type spirit master could cultivate to the Five Apertures Scattered Heart, then even if their eyes were covered, it would not hinder their movements in any way.
Yu Xiaowei was currently staying in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's cultivation hall, learning the techniques of Distraction Control from Gu Rong.
The cultivation method for assault-type battle spirit masters differed from that of support-type spirit masters, so Ning Fengzhi could not help him much.
Chen Xin had also taken Ning Rongrong to hunt for a spirit ring at this time, so now Yu Xiaowei could only rely on Gu Rong to teach him.
As for Gu Rong's teaching plan, it could be summed up in four words.
Simple and brutal.
The content was that Gu Rong would not use spirit skills, would suppress his spirit power to the Spirit Ancestor level, and would attack Yu Xiaowei, while Yu Xiaowei blocked or dodged.
Because Gu Rong's Bone Dragon martial spirit was extremely special, not only did it naturally possess astonishing defensive power, it also inherently possessed spatial power.
Therefore even without using spirit power, his attacks were still incomparably bizarre, and with a casual move he could attack Yu Xiaowei simultaneously from two or three directions.
This was also the method Gu Rong had used back then to cultivate Distraction Control, facing attacks coming simultaneously from different directions on the field, making the most suitable judgment, and accurately using the appropriate spirit power and spirit skills to respond.
"Xiaowei, your method is wrong, use spiritual power, use spiritual power to perceive, don't use your eyes."
Gu Rong's stern rebukes continuously echoed throughout the entire cultivation hall.
Yu Xiaowei did not make a sound, but instead worked hard to mobilize his spiritual power, attempting to track Gu Rong's attacks.
But the results were minimal.
"Sigh."
Looking at Yu Xiaowei lying on the ground panting, Gu Rong sighed, inwardly lamenting.
"Making a 13-year-old child get started this quickly really is asking too much of him."
Spiritual power.
This was the difficulty obstructing assault-type battle spirit masters from learning Distraction Control.
On top of that, battle spirit masters who had never specifically cultivated spiritual-type spirit skills had insufficient reserves of spiritual power, which also caused them to simply not value the use of spiritual power.
Yu Xiaowei had the same problem.
Even though his close-combat ability was incomparably formidable, even Gu Rong had marveled at his combat talent more than once.
But his spiritual power was seriously disproportionate to his physical body, so when facing Gu Rong's attacks, many times he even subconsciously relied on his own eyes, rather than using spiritual power.
And so the problem appeared, if he did not know how to use spiritual power, he would keep getting beaten, and the more he got beaten, the more Yu Xiaowei wanted to use his eyes to track Gu Rong's attacks, thus forming a vicious cycle.
"Grandpa Bone, shall we go again?"
After resting for quite a while, Yu Xiaowei rubbed his aching shoulder and climbed up from the ground.
Gu Rong revealed a smile more frightening than crying, but he did not continue attacking, instead beckoning to Yu Xiaowei.
"Good child, come over to Grandpa."
"You used your spiritual power in the wrong place just now, do you know where you went wrong?"
Yu Xiaowei obediently stood opposite Gu Rong and shook his head.
"I don't know."
"You're too impatient."
"Too impatient?"
"Mm, to get started with Distraction Control, you must first learn perception, perceive the changes in the surrounding environment, don't deliberately use your spiritual power to track my movements, use it to perceive the environment."
Seeing Yu Xiaowei looking as though he half understood, Gu Rong continued.
"When the surrounding environment and your perception merge into one, then whether it's the flow of air, or color, smell, sound, every kind of change will be within your grasp, at that point no matter who attacks you, you'll immediately sense it."
"At that point when you learn Distraction Control, you can reasonably allocate your spirit power and spirit skills to the attacks coming at you, that way, whether defending or counterattacking, you can greatly reduce your expenditure."
"It's just that either one is extremely difficult for an assault-type battle spirit master, so you absolutely must not rush things, you have to take it one step at a time, progressing gradually."
"So just like earlier, I reminded you again and again, yet you still didn't perceive the changes in the environment, instead you incorrectly used your spiritual power, and even your more sluggish eyes to pursue Grandpa's movements, this, is your biggest mistake."
"Understand?"
Yu Xiaowei nodded, then frowned and sank into deep thought, Gu Rong's explanation was extremely thorough, but now the problem had emerged.
How should he use his weak spiritual power to perceive the environment, and make the environment merge into one with himself?
Once he started thinking, he spent the entire afternoon at it, during which Gu Rong wanted to call him several times, but after thinking about it he lowered his hand again, letting him simply stand there in a daze.
Finally, in the evening.
Within Yu Xiaowei's chaotic mind, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared.
There was a shortcut he could take!
Sorry, I went out for the holiday today, so there's only one chapter, I'll make it up to everyone tomorrow.
