Chapter 22: When I Suspect You’re Plotting Revenge Against Me, You Really Are Plotting Revenge Against Me
“Huai Feng, don’t you lack combat experience despite having power? Today, I’ll help you improve your combat experience. How about it?”
On the road, Dan Heng suddenly said expressionlessly to Meng Huaifeng.
Improve combat experience, how?
Of course, through actual combat, fight a match.
Meng Huaifeng’s mouth twitched. I have reason to suspect you’re plotting revenge.
“No need, right? It’s normal for a support Spirit Master to have no combat power.” Meng Huaifeng politely refused.
“Your strength mainly comes from your Destiny, what does it have to do with being a Spirit Master? Moreover, your fifth Soul Skill can let the clone possess you and gain the clone’s abilities, right? Perfectly, your clone comes from me, so I’m the best to teach you. No one understands my abilities better than I do.” Dan Heng didn’t give Meng Huaifeng a chance to refuse.
“I have no weapon. How about we buy a handy one in the city first?” Meng Huaifeng continued to stall.
“It’s just sparring training, not a life-or-death battle. Weapons don’t matter. Just break off a tree branch.” Dan Heng waved his hand, and a water flow rolled back with a tree branch. With the water flow’s rapid rotation, the tree branch was cut into the shape of a spear and thrown at Meng Huaifeng’s feet.
“Gulp.”
Meng Huaifeng swallowed. Clearly, Dan Heng was determined to take revenge under the guise of training.
Fine, after all, he had turned Dan Heng into a joke, so consider it compensation. Let him vent his anger; he himself wouldn’t lose out.
“Then… come on.” Meng Huaifeng picked up the wooden spear and said with a look of facing death unflinchingly.
Dan Heng nodded in satisfaction: “Let’s find a remote place first.”
The four left the main road and walked two or three kilometers into the surrounding forest, stopping at a fairly open spot.
Dan Heng swung his spear: “In cultivation, the biggest taboo is biting off more than one can chew. I’m skilled in spear technique, Cloud Chant Technique, and Dragon Transformation. Today, we’ll practice spear technique first.”
Got it, since using spells to teach the lesson didn’t satisfy, he wants to beat me personally, huh?
“Do you want to stab me to death directly?” Meng Huaifeng looked at the wooden spear in his hand, then at Dan Heng’s Ji Yun Spear.
“Don’t worry, I know my limits. Ready?”
Meng Huaifeng stopped talking nonsense and summoned his Martial Spirit.
“Fifth Soul Skill, True Game, possession!”
The fifth Soul Ring lit up, and Jing Yuan turned into a stream of light that merged with Meng Huaifeng.
In an instant, Meng Huaifeng’s power surged, and Yunqi Spear Technique, Cloud Chant Technique·Healing, Azure Dragon Washes the World, Pulling the Sky Like a Rainbow, along with eight Soul Skills, all appeared in Meng Huaifeng’s mind like game skill icons.
Hiss~, this is completely equivalent to a full beast Martial Spirit possession!
No different from twin Martial Spirits.
No, it’s stronger than twin Martial Spirits, because twin Martial Spirits can’t be used simultaneously!
This isn’t a divine skill, it’s a super divine skill!
“Music!”
Meng Huaifeng snapped his fingers, and an uplifting war song rang out. Meng Huaifeng’s strength surged again.
Preparations complete, Meng Huaifeng activated Yunqi Spear Technique and charged at Dan Heng.
“Wrap your weapon in energy. Without energy enhancement, even the best weapon will break someday, let alone the wooden spear you’re using now.”
“Movements are rigid, no variation in moves. You need to strike based on the actual situation.”
“Feel it with your heart, truly make it yours, not imitate like a machine following a template.”
“Hands steady, eyes accurate, your aim is too poor! Body and mind as one!”
“…”
“Pa pa pa~”
Dan Heng was strict with his words and merciless with his hands, striking Meng Huaifeng with spear after spear, just enough to break defense, painful but not truly injurious.
Stunned but not brain-damaged, the force just right.
“Oh~ oh~ ah~”
Cat-and-mouse-like screams continued for half an hour before Dan Heng stopped this teaching battle.
It hurt for real, but to hurt less, under Dan Heng’s pressure, Meng Huaifeng’s progress was visibly rapid.
“Sigh~”
Meng Huaifeng drew in cold air, back sore and aching, feeling like his whole body was falling apart.
He secretly decided in his heart that tonight he would definitely log in and have Jing Yuan give him a good massage.
Dan Heng pointed, Cloud Chant Technique·Healing, and the pain on Meng Huaifeng’s body dissipated completely.
Originally, Dan Heng had only retained the attacking aspects of the Dragon Chant Technique legacy. The Martial Spirit Awakening completed the Dragon Lord Legacy, regaining the healing purification legacy.
Good, Hakidan, you saved Jing Yuan once.
“Dan Heng, let’s fight!”
After watching the two fight for a while, Star couldn’t hold back anymore. Seeing them finish, Star swung the baseball bat and rushed up.
Simultaneously activating Heart of Destruction, with various amplification Soul Skills buffing herself, Star was wrapped in golden destruction energy, moving like lightning, just like a mini Destruction Star God.
Dan Heng’s always calm gaze during the fight with Meng Huaifeng finally focused. This strike faintly exceeded the limits of an Intermediate Pathfinder.
Without Dragon Transformation, even Dan Heng had to get serious to block this move.
Although the Dragon Lord Legacy was now complete, greatly boosting Dan Heng’s strength, it still fell short compared to his previous life, not reaching Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae’s peak.
Dragon Horns rose on Dan Heng’s forehead, and Dan Heng finally used his Martial Spirit.
When using his Martial Spirit, no Soul Rings rose around Dan Heng. With his strength, he could freely control hiding his Soul Rings.
“Pulling the Sky Like a Rainbow, Yunqi Spear Technique·Torrential Rain!”
“Rules are meant to be broken!”
The two’s battle clearly exceeded the Titled Douluo level. If not for March 7th giving Meng Huaifeng a blessing, it would be difficult for Meng Huaifeng to watch up close.
Star and Dan Heng’s battle was still restrained and didn’t cause much damage to the surroundings.
In this battle, Star was clearly at a disadvantage, but she fought satisfyingly.
……
Yesterday, due to Martial Spirit Awakening, they hurriedly returned to the train. Today, coming back to Suotuo City, the four excitedly wandered around, experiencing this world’s local customs.
The Grand Soul Arena of Suotuo City was overall oval-shaped, reaching a height of 120 meters. Such a tall building stood out in the entire Suotuo City. No matter from which direction, even outside the city, one could see it at a glance. It was Suotuo City’s landmark building.
Such a prominent landmark naturally attracted the four’s attention.
“This is Suotuo City’s Grand Soul Arena. This kind of building only exists in main city-level cities. It’s for Soul Fighting Martial Spirits, that is, Spirit Master battles. There are many battle formats: 1V1, 2V2, team battles…” Meng Huaifeng temporarily acted as an not-very-professional tour guide.
“It’s just an arena, right? Except this world’s competitive event is Spirit Master battles.” March 7th had fresh memories of arenas; mentioning it brought up smashing a hole in the Teko Ammonium Arena back then.
“Yes, the Grand Soul Arena is an important place to embody a Spirit Master’s value. It can improve one’s combat experience and gain glory, fame, and interests.” Meng Huaifeng said.
