Volume Four: East China Sea Raging Waves Chapter 156: Bronze Dragon Pillar
Zuo Gong and Grand Scholar Wang exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving the 32nd floor of Kunpeng Academy. After all, he just sent Yang Ming here today, and he had more important things to do.
Soon you and Patriarch Lin Luan will meet with the Zong family. How could you waste all your time on greetings with Grand Scholar Wang?
Therefore, Yang Ming now met face to face with Academician Wang and began to talk about the decisive point in the duel.
From a duel perspective, the competition between the two sides is first based on the level of Qi cultivation.
Generally speaking, battles in the Awakening Realm are not worth watching for those in the Concentrated Spirit Realm, because the level of Qi in the Concentrated Spirit Realm and the Awakening Realm are two completely different realms.
The awakening state only improves the quality of the true energy on the basis of spiritual enlightenment, and transforms the accumulation of true energy in the spiritual enlightenment state into high-quality true energy with the five elements attributes contained in the exercises.
In other words, the level of Qi in the awakening state has not yet touched the "Tao".
The true energy of the Concentrating Soul Realm is not only based on the attributes of the Five Elements, but in some aspects it is connected to the "Tao" that one has comprehended.
However, not everyone in the Concentration realm can have such a good understanding of the Tao. Most people in the initial level of Concentration only have a vague concept of the Tao.
Therefore, when it comes to the initial level of concentration, people in the awakening state are not completely incapable of transcending the initial level of concentration.
Because, in addition to the level of Qi, there are three very important factors that determine the direction of the duel.
These three elements are tactics, mentality and spiritual weapons.
Tactics are easy to talk about. Some people are more suitable for blitzkrieg. For example, Yang Ming, as a body-refining practitioner, his fighting method is to fight quickly.
Because fighting with one's own physical strength is destined to be incapable of engaging in a war of attrition with others. Once drawn into the vicious cycle of a war of attrition, the result will inevitably be failure.
Judging from the battles that Yang Ming has experienced, basically once he is attacked by Yang Ming, he will definitely perform a set of consecutive blows, and then he will either win or lose.
He Dong was like this, Fang Ci was like this, and Han Yue was like this.
Therefore, the choice of tactics basically depends on what you are good at. If you, a person who is good at attrition warfare, engage in blitz warfare, this will be a tactical failure.
After the tactics are finalized, the mentality during the duel is the key that directly determines the execution of the tactics.
"I can tell you that as long as those who have entered the top ten youth rankings in the cloud, their mentality is much more mature than that of their peers."
Academician Wang said that although Yang Ming felt that Chen Yueru's mentality was like that, Xiao He's temperament and mentality were definitely much more mature than those of his peers he had seen.
Maybe this Chen Yueru just looks carefree, but in fact, he might be a rough-and-tumble person.
"When Chen Yueru just returned from her travels, she won over many bachelors from the castle tower. From these bachelors, she was able to gain a lot of understanding of swordsmanship."
"Moreover, we can also take the opportunity to increase the power of the Chen family. If we have a good relationship with the castle tower, the Chen family will have monopoly on the power of the three parties. This kind of maneuver is definitely rare."
Academician Wang's analysis is very accurate. The eldest son of the Chen family, Chen Hao, is the Minister of Rites of Zhongshu Province, and the second eldest son, Chen Jintuo, is the Major General of Zhongzhou Mu.
If Chen Yueru establishes a good relationship with the Tianshu Pavilion, then he will definitely be a trinity in the future and the Chen family will be brilliant.
This kind of strategy not only found a way to improve the individual, but also found benefits for the family, which is indeed very rare.
"So Chen Yueru's mentality is still beyond that of most of her peers. If something very sudden had not happened, she would definitely use her awakening level strength to defeat you."
This sudden incident... it must have been Yang Ming who directly caused her to be exposed.
The third element of this decisive victory is the spiritual weapon.
If the spiritual weapon is powerful, then the strength is powerful, this is inevitable.
A more classic duel where spiritual weapons enhance combat power is the one between Lu Chen and Li Yan.
Lu Chen's boxing technique not only combines punching force and punching intention, but according to Tang Xin, Lu Chen should be the strongest boxing person among the younger generation of his generation.
Li Yan actually doesn't have that outstanding talent. Apart from his good marksmanship, in terms of understanding of momentum and intention, it can be said that he is completely unable to catch up with Lu Chen.
However, with the help of the spiritual weapon Purple Electric Gun, he managed to close some of the gap and was not directly crushed by Lu Chen.
Let's talk about a more classic battle, that is, in the finals of the World Competition a few years ago, Lu Cheng faced a rising star martial artist from the Kunpeng Academy.
In this final, the magic cultivator was defeated by Lu Cheng's spiritual weapon. At that time, the information of this final was kept secret, because if it were made public, it would bring trouble to Lu Cheng.
Of course, the magic cultivator did not lose unjustly. After all, Lu Cheng directly sacrificed the spirit-transforming weapon, the Qinglong Soul-Calming Bell, which ranked seventeenth on the list of spiritual weapons.
The cost of using a divine weapon at the level of concentration can be said to be extremely huge. Even if you don't have enough talent, this divine weapon will not pay attention to you at all.
Moreover, if one is not extremely confident in one's own strength, using the Concentration Realm to drive a divine weapon is tantamount to self-destruction!
To use a god-transforming weapon requires the power of Heavenly Dao. How can ordinary people at the first level and second-level Concentration of God attain Heavenly Dao at this stage?
Lu Cheng, a pervert, actually understood the way of heaven when he was at the second level of concentration!
If it weren't for the way of heaven going against the will of heaven, he might have been able to achieve the state of becoming a god at that time.
Therefore, in the final analysis, in battle, the strength of the spiritual weapon directly determines your combat effectiveness. This is why many practitioners want to obtain a spiritual weapon.
"According to my observation, your Bodhi Wishful Stick should be of the best quality among spiritual energy."
"There are two criteria for judging whether a spiritual weapon is powerful. One is its own material, and the other is the person who refines it."
The material of this bodhi wish-fulfilling stick is a branch that Lao Lu pulled from the ancient bodhi tree in Tianzhu. This is a rare treasure.
Moreover, Tianzhu's master craftsman made this rough spiritual weapon, and the quality is absolutely excellent.
In addition, the maker of this Bodhi Wishful Stick is Mr. Lv. He is a well-known figure in the blacksmith gang.
This Bodhi Ruyi Stick was refined by his hands and is absolutely of the highest quality.
Although it is not a perfect spiritual weapon, it is still considered the best!
Therefore, when Yang Ming handed the broken Bodhi Wishful Stick to Master Donkey to help him repair it, Master Donkey kept cursing and saying that Yang Ming was trashing things.
Although this spiritual weapon has the function of self-healing, this also depends on the level of the spiritual weapon.
This Bodhi Wishful Stick was just an awakening spiritual weapon, but Yang Ming directly injected a bunch of power into it that was almost beyond the awakening level.
That Samadhi True Fire Dragon has transformed into the Sanqing, which has almost reached the state of concentration. It’s strange that it keeps going!
So Mr. Donkey took the Bodhi Wishful Stick back these days, firstly to let it rest and recover, and secondly to stop Yang Ming from running around carrying the stick.
"For these three decisive factors, you currently only have a high-level spiritual weapon. In terms of tactics and mentality, you are not as good as those on the top ten young people in the cloud."
"So, you need to systematically improve yourself in terms of tactics and mentality, and improve these two
It’s the best way.”
Academician Wang smiled and pointed to the sea of books behind him.
"It means reading more books, improving one's own realm of the essence of the Three Purities, and accumulating one's own experience, so as to achieve a clear and enlightened mind."
Seeing this book that was like a sea of books, Yang Ming's scalp felt numb.
Although what Grand Scholar Wang said is right, it shouldn’t be so difficult for him!
How long will it take for him to finish reading so many books?
"I heard that you have reached the established level of Sanqing. How can you still spend so much effort reading?"
Academician Wang didn't quite understand. It stands to reason that since Yang Ming has already settled down, reading books should come easily to him.
There is something wrong with this guy actually reading a book as if he were an enemy.
"How do you usually read?"
Academician Wang asked, and Yang Ming was a little confused. Isn't this nonsense...
You must be seeing with glasses, or listening with ears?
Facing Yang Ming's somewhat nonsensical answer, Academician Wang felt helpless.
So, he did an experiment that made Yang Ming feel ashamed.
He dug out a monkey from the jungle in the circle just now and asked the monkey to read the same book as Yang Ming.
Then, after about one stick of incense time, they were given test papers to test their memory of the knowledge in the book.
This result is simply the shame of Yang Ming's life!
He couldn't finish the book in one stick of incense, but this monkey was able to finish the book completely!
Moreover, in this memory test, the monkey’s score was twice as high as Yang Ming’s!
"There is a problem, there is definitely a problem. How can this monkey be so smart? He actually knows human words!"
When Yang Ming asked this question, didn't he think that there was a donkey beside him who not only knew the word "herringbone" but also said "Fuck you, uncle"?
"Animals are actually the same as people. As long as they use the right methods, they can cultivate Qi and realize the three pure things."
"These monkeys are all monkeys who have realized the essence of the Three Purities. They learn things very quickly, and they also apply the essence of the Three Purities in their reading."
After Grand Scholar Wang’s explanation, Yang Ming seemed to understand something.
He usually just scanned it with his eyes when reading, and almost didn't think about it. In Hongmeng Academy, the teacher forced them to write it down, so they could use this essence of the Three Purities.
How could he think of using such a troublesome thing when he usually reads books? For Yang Ming, the essence of the three pure powers is the most difficult to mobilize.
He was able to use the Qi of the Three Pure Ones like a fish in water due to the Taiqing Ultimate Intention Kung Fu, while the God of the Three Pure Ones was able to master it better because of the Dragon Spirit Pearl of Life and Death.
The Essence of the Three Purities...that is simply something nightmare-like.
"Your first task is to use the power of the Three Pure Spirits to read all the books here within three days."
Yang Ming was stunned when he heard Archmaester Wang's instructions.
Three days, all?
There are only a few thousand books in this sea of books. How could he finish reading them in three days?
"If I don't force you, you won't know what potential is."
Academician Wang said with a smile. This smile gave Yang Ming a hint of chill.
Looking at the tiger sleeping next to Academician Wang, Yang Ming rarely wrote the first serious poem in his life.
