Chapter 5: The Five Realms of the Spear Dao, Yun Yuan's Initial Entry into Spear Momentum
Seeing that Bibi Dong was completely unreceptive, Yun Yuan gave up. He probably couldn't persuade his senior sister.
However, once his theoretical knowledge improved, he would demonstrate it properly in front of Bibi Dong, letting her understand what true theory was.
That way, in the future, she wouldn't be so easily deceived by Yu Xiaogang. Even if Yu Xiaogang tried to show off his shallow knowledge, she would be able to see through it easily.
In Yun Yuan's heart, as long as Bibi Dong witnessed what a true genius was, she would never fall for that useless Yu Xiaogang.
And it just so happened that Yun Yuan had that confidence.
Whether in theoretical knowledge or soul master talent, Yun Yuan was confident he could become the very best among all outstanding individuals.
If Yun Ming could dominate an era twenty thousand years later, suppressing all opponents of his time,
Then, in this era, Yun Yuan believed he could do the same!
Afterward, Yun Yuan followed Qian Xunji's earlier instructions and headed to the mountainside of the mountain where his palace was located.
His teacher had arranged a powerful expert to teach him spear techniques. Naturally, Yun Yuan was full of anticipation.
Ever since he had gained self-awareness after transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, he had felt an uncontrollable fondness for the spear.
At that time, he had a vague sense that his martial soul was very likely to be a spear-type martial soul.
On the mountainside of the palace.
Yun Yuan's figure appeared there. In front of him stood a middle-aged man dressed in white, holding a silver spear, radiating a sharp aura from his entire body.
"You must be His Holiness the Pope's disciple."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Gu Feng. My martial soul is the Bright Silver Spear. My strength is at the Soul Douluo level. For the next few years, I will be your instructor in the spear dao."
Upon seeing Yun Yuan, the middle-aged man holding the silver spear naturally restrained his sharp aura and introduced himself.
When Yun Yuan saw this man, who had just been radiating sharpness like a blade, suddenly become as ordinary as a common person, his eyes lit up instantly.
This person was definitely a soul master with significant achievement in the spear dao. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control his sharp aura so naturally.
"Hello, I'm Yun Yuan. I'm very happy to learn from you."
Yun Yuan looked at Gu Feng and greeted him politely. Despite being the Pope's disciple, he showed no arrogance in his etiquette.
On the contrary, he respected every senior who guided him.
"Mm, very good."
"You have a noble status but are not arrogant. More importantly, you've already begun to comprehend spear momentum."
"At such a young age, to comprehend spear momentum, you are the most talented person in the spear dao I've ever seen."
Gu Feng praised him upon seeing Yun Yuan's manners.
Especially the fact that Yun Yuan had already begun to grasp spear momentum at such a young age shocked him.
He had never seen or heard of anyone achieving this at such an age before.
Yun Yuan was the first!
"Spear momentum? What is that?"
Faced with Gu Feng's praise, Yun Yuan was confused and didn't understand what he meant by spear momentum.
"Hm? You don't know?"
"Didn't your previous spear instructor tell you?"
Seeing Yun Yuan's confusion, Gu Feng couldn't help but internally blame the soul master who had previously taught Yun Yuan spear techniques.
Such an important matter, yet it hadn't been explained—that was far too irresponsible.
"Spear instructor? Instructor Gu Feng, you're my first spear instructor. Before you, I practiced the spear on my own."
Yun Yuan explained his past. Previously, he would carve a wooden spear and practice in the orphanage courtyard, swinging it repeatedly.
However, as he practiced more and more, he felt the spear in his hand become increasingly like an extension of his arm.
The act of wielding the spear even felt like a form of enjoyment.
Now he realized that he had already developed what Gu Feng called spear momentum.
Gu Feng, standing before Yun Yuan, widened his eyes in disbelief upon hearing this, his speech becoming incoherent.
"How… is that possible? How can such a monstrous talent exist in this world?"
Gu Feng muttered, unable to believe the extent of Yun Yuan's talent.
After a long while, he finally calmed himself and accepted the reality.
Yun Yuan was born for the spear!
Such a piece of uncut jade, he must carefully polish. Perhaps in the future, Yun Yuan could reach the pinnacle of the spear dao.
After making this decision, Gu Feng's gaze at Yun Yuan changed completely.
If before it was because of Qian Xunji's assignment, now it was purely admiration. He genuinely wanted to nurture Yun Yuan.
"Xiao Yuan, since you don't understand the realms of the spear dao, today I will explain them to you in detail."
As he spoke, Gu Feng's aura surged sharply. The silver spear in his hand moved, exuding a powerful and intimidating presence that drew Yun Yuan's full attention.
The first realm of the spear dao: Spear Momentum.
"When the spear moves, it brings wind. When it sweeps, it carries power. The moves are fierce, the aura intimidating. But this is only the beginning of the spear dao."
After speaking, Gu Feng swung his silver spear again. This time, it erupted with terrifying battle intent. Just one glance made Yun Yuan break out in cold sweat.
The second realm of the spear dao: Spear Intent.
"Spiritual power merges into the spear. Where intent moves, the spear follows. Within a single strike lies killing intent, battle intent, and conviction. It is no longer bound by moves. With spear intent, one can disrupt the enemy's mind, break illusions, and stabilize one's own spirit."
But it didn't end there. Gu Feng swung his spear once more. This time, the movement looked completely ordinary, like a normal person wielding a spear.
Yet, in Yun Yuan's perception, that ordinary motion contained immense terror, as if it could turn into a deadly spear strike at any moment.
The third realm of the spear dao: Spear Heart.
"Man and spear become one. The heart is the spear, and the spear is the heart. The martial soul and the mind fully merge. The spear is no longer a weapon but a second body—no need to channel soul power deliberately. With a thought, the spear strikes. No need for deliberate defense. When the enemy moves, the spear arrives first."
"Only after reaching great mastery in Spear Heart can one be considered a top spear master on the continent."
After demonstrating three times, Gu Feng withdrew his silver spear and did not continue.
His current realm was only the third realm: Spear Heart, and he had not yet reached great mastery.
The final two realms were levels he longed for his entire life but could not attain.
Then, with a gaze filled with pure reverence, Gu Feng continued explaining the fourth realm to Yun Yuan.
The fourth realm of the spear dao: Spear Soul.
"The spear gives birth to a true spirit. The martial soul evolves. The spear has a soul, and the person has a spirit. The spear soul can leave the body and draw upon the power of heaven and earth. With a single strike, it carries the aura of laws."
"In the past thousands of years, only a handful have reached this realm. Each one was a supreme expert capable of dominating the entire Douluo Continent."
