Chapter 5: The Five Realms of Spear Dao, Yun Yuan's Initial Entry into Spear Momentum
Seeing Bibi Dong's unyielding attitude, Yun Yuan gave up. He probably couldn't persuade his senior sister.
However, once he had mastered theoretical knowledge, he would properly demonstrate it before Bibi Dong, letting her understand what true theory was.
That way, in the future, she wouldn't be so easily deceived by Yu Xiaogang. She might even easily see through Yu Xiaogang's clumsy attempts to show off.
In Yun Yuan's heart, as long as Bibi Dong witnessed what a true prodigy was, she would never fall for that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang in the future.
Coincidentally, he, Yun Yuan, had the confidence.
Whether in theoretical knowledge or Soul Master talent, Yun Yuan was confident he could become the foremost among the world's elites.
Twenty thousand years later, Yun Ming could achieve peerless elegance, crush all opponents, and stand proudly over an entire era.
Then now, he, Yun Yuan, could also do it!
After that, Yun Yuan followed the instructions his teacher Qian Xunji had just given and headed for the mountainside where his palace was located.
His teacher had arranged for a powerful expert to teach him spear techniques there. Naturally, Yun Yuan felt anticipation in his heart.
Ever since transmigrating to the Douluo Continent and gaining self-awareness, he had felt an uncontrollable fondness for long spears in his heart.
Back then, he had a vague feeling that his Martial Soul would most likely be a spear-type Martial Soul.
Mountainside of the palace.
Yun Yuan's figure appeared here. Before him stood a middle-aged man dressed in white, holding a silver long spear, his entire body radiating a sharp, keen intent.
"You must be 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. I will be your instructor in the Spear Dao for the next few years."
Upon seeing Yun Yuan, the middle-aged man holding the silver spear naturally retracted the sharp intent emanating from his body and introduced himself to Yun Yuan.
Watching this middle-aged man, who had been radiating sharp intent, withdraw his Sharpness as if becoming an ordinary, common person, Yun Yuan's eyes instantly lit up.
This person was definitely a Soul Master who had achieved some accomplishment in the Spear Dao. Otherwise, he couldn't possibly retract and release his sharp intent so naturally.
"Hello, I am Yun Yuan. I am very happy to learn from you."
Yun Yuan looked at Gu Feng and greeted him very politely. In matters of etiquette, Yun Yuan did not act arrogantly just because he was the Pope's disciple.
On the contrary, towards every senior who taught him and helped him grow, Yun Yuan showed the utmost respect.
"Hmm, very good."
"Noble status without arrogance. More importantly, you have already gained a preliminary comprehension of Spear Momentum."
"To comprehend Spear Momentum at such a young age, you are the most talented person in the Spear Dao I have ever seen in my life."
Seeing Yun Yuan's good manners, Gu Feng praised him with a few words of appreciation.
Especially the fact that Yun Yuan had gained a preliminary insight into Spear Momentum at such a young age completely shocked him.
Before, he had never seen or heard of anyone gaining a preliminary insight into Spear Momentum at such a young age.
Yun Yuan was the first he had ever seen!
"Spear Momentum? What is that?"
Faced with Gu Feng's praise, Yun Yuan was somewhat bewildered, not understanding what he meant by Spear Momentum.
"Huh? You don't know?"
"Didn't your previous Spear Dao teacher tell you about it?"
Seeing Yun Yuan's confusion, Gu Feng couldn't help but inwardly blame the Soul Master who had previously taught Yun Yuan spear techniques.
Something so important, and he didn't explain it to Yun Yuan? That was truly irresponsible.
"Spear Dao teacher? Teacher Gu Feng, you are my first Spear Dao teacher. Before you, I practiced the spear all by myself."
In response to Gu Feng's inquiry, Yun Yuan recounted his past experiences. Previously, when he practiced the spear, he would whittle a wooden spear and then constantly swing it in the orphanage courtyard.
However, as he swung it more and more, he felt the long spear in his hand becoming increasingly like an extension of his own arm.
The process of swinging the long spear felt more like an enjoyment.
Only now did he realize that he had already cultivated what Teacher Gu Feng called Spear Momentum.
The Gu Feng standing before Yun Yuan, upon hearing his answer, instantly widened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief, and even his speech began to falter.
"How... how is this possible? How can there be such a monstrous person in this world?"
Gu Feng was still muttering to himself, unable to believe the extent of Yun Yuan's monstrous talent.
After a long while, Gu Feng finally calmed his unsettled breath and accepted the monstrous degree of Yun Yuan's talent.
Yun Yuan was simply a person born for the spear!
Such an uncut gem—he, Gu Feng, must polish it well. Perhaps in the future, there would be a chance for him to reach the pinnacle realm of the Spear Dao.
Having made up his mind, the look in Gu Feng's eyes when he gazed at Yun Yuan had now changed.
If before it was because of Pope Qian Xunji's task, now, he simply admired Yun Yuan and wanted to polish him into a fine gem.
"Xiao Yuan, since you are unaware of the realms of Spear Dao, today, I will explain them to you in detail."
Having said that, Gu Feng's aura became sharp and majestic. He brandished the silver spear in his hand, his imposing manner so compelling that even Yun Yuan beside him couldn't help but watch intently.
"The first realm of Spear Dao: Spear Momentum."
"The spear thrust carries wind, its sweep holds power. The techniques are sharp, the momentum intimidating, but it is merely the first step through the gate of Spear Dao."
After speaking, Gu Feng brandished his silver spear again. This time, however, it erupted with a terrifying fighting Martial Soul. Just one glance from Yun Yuan made the cold sweat on his back soak through unconsciously.
"The second realm of Spear Dao: Spear Intent."
"Spiritual Power merges with the spear. Where the intent moves, the spear arrives. Within a single spear thrust lies killing intent, fighting Martial Soul, obsession. Unconstrained by specific techniques, it can use Spear Intent to disrupt an enemy's mind, shatter illusions, and subdue the Martial Soul."
But it wasn't over yet. Gu Feng brandished his silver spear once more. This time, however, it was as ordinary as could be, as if an average person were swinging a long spear.
Yet, in Yun Yuan's perception, this swinging silver spear contained a great terror, as if it could transform into a life-taking spear in the next instant.
"The third realm of Spear Dao: Spear Heart."
"Man and spear become one. The heart is the spear, the spear is the heart. The Martial Soul and the mind completely fuse. The spear is no longer a weapon but a second body. There is no need to consciously channel Soul Power. With a single thought, the spear attacks on its own. There is no need for deliberate defense; before the enemy moves, the spear arrives first."
"Only after mastering Spear Heart can one be considered a top-tier spear practitioner on the continent."
After brandishing the spear three times in succession, Gu Feng withdrew the silver spear in his hand and did not continue demonstrating for Yun Yuan.
His current realm in Spear Dao was only the third realm, Spear Heart, and he hadn't even reached mastery yet.
The two realms beyond were levels he desperately yearned for in this lifetime but could not attain.
Then, with pure reverence in his eyes, Gu Feng continued explaining the fourth realm of Spear Dao to Yun Yuan.
"The fourth realm of Spear Dao: Spear Soul."
"The spear gives birth to a true Martial Soul. The Martial Soul sublimates. The spear possesses a soul, the person possesses a Martial Soul. The Spear Soul can leave the body, can draw upon the power of heaven and earth. A single spear thrust naturally carries an aura of law."
"Looking back a thousand years, there were still those who could reach this realm, though they were exceedingly few. Every Soul Master who reached this realm was a powerhouse Enough to intimidate the entire Douluo Continent."
