章 102: Chapter 102: Go to Heaven Dou Empire
...
"No, you can't be too focused on your own attack. You also need to constantly observe the opponent's movements, understand?"
"Understood, Master."
Yan Que looked at her master's right hand, where his index finger and middle finger formed a sword gesture, pressing against her own neck. This sword gesture emitted a sharp and cold aura, just like an icy blade.
"Again," Zeng Yi said lightly.
"Yes!"
Yan Que responded, quickly jumping back, creating distance between her and Zeng Yi. She tightly gripped the sword hilt with both hands and stared at Zeng Yi, here face showing a serious expression.
Although master was usually very kind to her, during training, he was extremely strict, like a completely different person.
"Use your soul skills and give it your all. If you can't make me leave this circle, your sword training for today will be doubled," Zeng Yi said sternly.
At this moment, Zeng Yi stood inside a circle with a diameter of one meter. His task for Yan Que was to attack him within half an hour while he remained on the defensive. If Yan Que could make him leave the circle, the task would be considered completed.
However, Zeng Yi's strength was not something that Yan Que could easily handle. He wouldn't go easy on Yan Que either. Zeng Yi had high hopes for Yan Que, hoping she would become an invincible presence at the same level.
Hearing her master's words, Yan Que's face turned bitter. This training was not her first time, and every time she attempted it, she ended up failing. It made her feel like the task was simply impossible to complete, considering the vast difference in their strengths. Even if Zeng Yi was only on the defensive, she couldn't do anything to him.
If you want me to train twice as hard, just say it directly. Why do you have to constantly undermine my confidence like this? It's really annoying.
Looking at her master opposite her, Yan Que's face turned cold as she grumbled in her heart.
But before, she was just a soul master without any spirit rings. Now that she had obtained a spirit ring, her strength had greatly increased. Perhaps she would be able to complete this task?
Thinking this, her soul power surged out from her body. A yellowish spirit ring emerged from beneath her feet, radiating a faint light. Her spirit skill Stone Piercing was instantly activated.
Within a distance of less than ten meters between Yan Que and Zeng Yi, the ground within ten meters around her formed a stone field due to her spirit skill. The originally flat ground became slightly uneven, revealing hard stones.
~Tss, tss, tss...~
Dozens of stone fragments shot towards Zeng Yi at high speed, and Yan Que did not stop her attack. With a step forward, her body followed behind the stone fragments. Holding her sword with both hands, she charged towards Zeng Yi.
Within the stone field, she gained a thirty percent speed boost, making her even faster.
The flying stones rapidly shot towards Zeng Yi, followed by Yan Que and her sword.
Seeing this scene, Zeng Yi smiled.
This attack has some structure to it.
Although he was content, Zeng Yi didn't intend to go easy on her. He had a reason for doing so. Once Yan Que got used to fighting against someone like him, who was cunning and mysterious, she would find it easy to defeat people of the same age or level, realizing that they were all weaklings.
With a wave of his arm, a visible wind wall blocked the incoming stone fragments. However, after the stones fell, Yan Que's figure had already appeared in front of Zeng Yi. The long sword in her hand emitted a chilling aura, the blade sparkling with light, exuding a sharp and fierce aura.
Yan Que didn't hold back and swung her sword with all her strength towards her master because she knew she couldn't harm him anyway.
Clang!
As the freezing blade swung down, it was caught between Zeng Yi's two fingers. The powerful force caused the sharp sword blade to produce a crisp tremor.
Zeng Yi locked eyes with Yan Que and noticed a hint of cunning in her gaze, becoming instantly wary.
In the next moment, he felt a surge of soul power under his feet as he leaped up into the air. A stone pillar shot up from the ground he had just stepped on.
Seeing this stone pillar, Zeng Yi couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. Yan Que had learned deceptive tactics. But could she casually use this attack? What if she accidentally hit him?
Realizing that her attack hadn't hit, Yan Que was somewhat surprised. But seeing her master in the air, a grin appeared on her face.
In the air, let's see how you dodge now, you smelly master.
With a step on the ground, dozens of stone fragments instantly rose from the ground, shooting towards Zeng Yi in the air.
On a large rock in the distance, Xiao Ju lay lazily, basking in the warm sunlight. With her emerald-green eyes, she observed the fight between master and disciple. She lazily opened her mouth, letting out a yawn.
The result of Zeng Yi and Yan Que's battle ended with Yan Que exhausting her soul power and still unable to force Zeng Yi out of the circle. As a result, she was punished with double the amount of sword training.
Looking at her master who was smiling mischievously, Yan Que couldn't help but shed tears.
"Master, where are we going now?" Yan Que couldn't help but ask. They had already obtained their spirit rings, and staying near this Soul Hunting Forest didn't have much meaning. Did they plan to return to Shun Ding City? Or go to the hometown of her master, or the power behind her master?
Speaking of which, even after following her master for so long, Yan Que still didn't know his identity.
Looking at her master walking ahead, Yan Que couldn't help but think about this question.
"We're quite close to Sakura City. Let's visit there. It's a main city level city and has a Spirit Hall. It's a good opportunity for you to register your identity as a Soul Master and receive a gold soul coin every month," Zeng Yi said.
"A gold soul coin?"
Yan Que was amazed. A Soul Master could actually earn so much money in a month? A gold soul coin was enough to support an average family for half a year.
No wonder her master was so rich. That's how it is.
"Really? We don't have to do anything for the Spirit Hall and can still get paid?" she asked.
"Indeed, but we don't need to contribute anything to the Spirit Hall. It's just a free handout," Zeng Yi laughed. He didn't know why the Spirit Hall distributed money, but if there was free money to be taken, why not take it? It had been over a month since he received his last payment, so he could use some money to help with daily life.
Regarding the Spirit Hall's approach, it was quite good. Thanks to the Spirit Hall, many commoner Soul Masters on the continent could have a chance to rise. Otherwise, some people might never awaken their martial souls, let alone become Soul Masters. As for the nobles and those from influential sects, they were too lazy to do such things that required time and effort, without much benefit. Thus, the Spirit Hall was quite helpful.
However, because they became entangled with the protagonist Tang San, they ultimately fell under his influence.
Zeng Yi couldn't help but think, wouldn't it be better if the Spirit Hall could unify the whole continent? After all, he wasn't fond of the nobles from those empires. In this day and age, to still have slaves, it was hard for him, a socially conscious youth who grew up under communism, to accept.
Perhaps under the rule of the Spirit Hall, this situation would be different, at least alleviating it for the commoners.
"Master, are you from one of those influential sects?" Yan Que suddenly asked.
Zeng Yi was taken aback, "Why would you say that?"
"Master, you're so powerful and young. You must be a genius from some influential sect, right?" Yan Que voiced her thoughts. She didn't believe her master, an ordinary commoner, could possess such strength. It was almost impossible for a commoner soul master to achieve these accomplishments without any background or resources, especially at such a young age.
"How can that be? I'm just an ordinary person," Zeng Yi smiled. If he were from a major sect, why would he be wandering around like this?
"Then, Master, where is your hometown?"
"Me? Hometown?" Zeng Yi paused for a moment, his mind flashing back to the village of LaLa and his hometown before crossing over. He involuntarily lifted his head and looked at the sky with its pure white, unblemished clouds and the vast blue sky, his thoughts drifting, tinged with a hint of nostalgia.
"Master's hometown is in a very distant place."
"How far?"
"Very, very far."
"In that case, Master, where are we going after visiting Sakura City?" Yan Que asked again, curious like a baby.
"Afterwards?" Zeng Yi murmured. He himself didn't know his own itinerary very well. He would travel and cultivate as he pleased without a fixed destination.
But...
Seeing his disciple, Yan Que, Zeng Yi fell into contemplation.
Was it really good to have Yan Que continue wandering with him? He was a wanderer, with no fixed abode, which was fine for himself. But now he had a disciple, and that posed a problem. Yan Que was only eight years old, and to keep wandering like this, without anyone her age to communicate with, without friends, it seemed too lonely, too pitiful.
Perhaps he should let Yan Que go to the Soul Masters Academy to study.
As for himself, eventually he would have to leave!
Zeng Yi reached out and patted Yan Que's head, smiling, "Afterwards, let's go to Heaven Dou Imperial City!"
Zeng Yi's plan was to stop by Sakura City since it was a major city with a Battle Arena. It would be a good opportunity for Yan Que to train in the arena.
As for the subsequent travel, Zeng Yi remembered that there would be a continent-wide competition among Soul Masters. It was a grand event in the Douluo Continent, where young talented Soul Masters would participate. They would represent the future powerhouse candidates of the Soul Master world for the next few decades.
Naturally, Zeng Yi wanted to watch this event. Moreover, he even had the intention of participating and competing against these talented peers, as they were the ceiling of same-age Soul Masters.
Thinking about this, his blood began to boil within.
At this time, Sword Douluo was still on his way.
