Spear Dao's Five Realms, Yun Yuan's First Step into Spear Intent

Seeing that Bibi Dong remained utterly unmoved, Yun Yuan gave up. He probably could not persuade his Senior Sister.

However, once he had attained mastery of theoretical knowledge, he would put on a proper display before Bibi Dong and let her know what true theory was.

That way, she would not be so easily deceived by Yu Xiaogang in the future. She would even be able to see through Yu Xiaogang's feeble attempts to show off his limited knowledge.

In Yun Yuan's heart, as long as he let Bibi Dong witness what a true prodigy was, she would never fall for that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang in the future.

As it happened, Yun Yuan had confidence in himself.

Whether it was theoretical knowledge or Soul Master talent, Yun Yuan was confident that he could become the foremost among the world's outstanding figures.

Twenty Thousand Years Later, Yun Ming would possess peerless elegance, crush every Opponent, and stand proudly above the entire era.

Then, Yun Yuan could do the same in this age!

Afterward, Yun Yuan followed his Teacher Qian Xunji's instructions and went to the mountainside of the mountain where his palace stood.

His Teacher had arranged for a powerful expert to teach him spear techniques there, and Yun Yuan naturally looked forward to it.

From the moment he had gained self-awareness after crossing over to the Douluo Continent, he had felt an uncontrollable fondness for spears.

Even then, he had sensed vaguely that his martial soul was most likely a spear-type martial soul.

At the mountainside of the palace mountain.

Yun Yuan's figure appeared there. Standing before him was a middle-aged man dressed in White Robe, holding a Silver Spear, and radiating a sharp aura.

"You are Your Eminence the Pope's Disciple, aren't you?"

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Gu Feng, and my martial soul is the Bright Silver Spear. My strength is at the Soul Douluo level, and I will be your Teacher in the Spear Dao for the next few years."

After seeing Yun Yuan, the middle-aged man holding the Silver Spear naturally reined in his sharp aura before introducing himself to Yun Yuan.

When Yun Yuan saw the middle-aged man withdraw his sharpness and become as ordinary as a common person, his eyes immediately lit up.

This man had definitely achieved a certain level in the Spear Dao. Otherwise, he could not possibly control his sharp aura so naturally.

"Greetings. I'm Yun Yuan. I'm very happy to learn from you."

Yun Yuan looked toward Gu Feng and greeted him politely. He did not look down on others merely because he was the Pope's Disciple.

On the contrary, he showed the utmost respect to every senior who taught him and helped him grow.

"Mm, very good."

"You possess a noble status without being arrogant. More importantly, you have already gained an initial understanding of Spear Intent."

"To comprehend Spear Intent at your age—you are the most talented person in the Spear Dao I have ever seen in my life."

Seeing Yun Yuan's impeccable manners, Gu Feng praised him with a few words.

What especially shocked him was that Yun Yuan had gained an initial understanding of Spear Intent at such a young age.

He had never seen or even heard of anyone comprehending Spear Intent at such an age before.

Yun Yuan was the first!

"Spear Intent? What is that?"

Faced with Gu Feng's praise, Yun Yuan was somewhat bewildered. He had no idea what Gu Feng meant by Spear Intent.

"Hmm? You don't know?"

"Did your former Teacher of the Spear Dao never tell you?"

Seeing Yun Yuan's confusion, Gu Feng could not help blaming the Soul Master who had previously taught Yun Yuan spear techniques.

How could he have failed to explain something so important to Yun Yuan? That was simply irresponsible.

"Teacher of the Spear Dao? Teacher Gu Feng, you are my first Teacher in the Spear Dao. Before you, I always practiced spears by myself."

In response to Gu Feng's question, Yun Yuan recounted his past. Whenever he had practiced with a spear, he had carved a Wooden Spear and then swung it repeatedly in the center of the orphanage courtyard.

However, as he swung it more and more, he had felt the long spear in his hand becoming increasingly responsive, as though it were an extension of his arm.

The process of wielding the spear had felt more like enjoyment.

Only now did he realize that he had already developed the Spear Intent that Teacher Gu Feng had mentioned.

Gu Feng, standing before Yun Yuan, instantly widened his eyes at Yun Yuan's answer. His face was full of disbelief, and he even began to stammer.

"How... could this be? How could such a monstrous genius exist in this world?"

Gu Feng continued muttering, unable to believe just how monstrous Yun Yuan's talent was.

After a long while, Gu Feng finally calmed his unsteady breathing and accepted the extent of Yun Yuan's talent.

Yun Yuan was practically born for the spear!

He absolutely had to carefully shape such an uncarved jade. Perhaps one day, Yun Yuan might reach the pinnacle of the Spear Dao.

After making up his mind, Gu Feng's gaze toward Yun Yuan changed.

If he had previously been acting because of Pope Qian Xunji's orders, then now he simply admired Yun Yuan and wanted to shape him into a flawless jade.

"Xiao Yuan, since you do not know about the realms of the Spear Dao, I will explain them to you properly today."

With that, a fierce and imposing aura surged from Gu Feng. He swung the Silver Spear in his hand, his momentum intimidating, making Yun Yuan, standing beside him, stare in fascination.

"The Spear Dao First Realm: Spear Intent."

"When the spear is thrust, it carries the wind; when it sweeps, it carries might. The movements are fierce, and the momentum is intimidating, but this is merely the beginning of the Spear Dao."

After speaking, Gu Feng swung the Silver Spear in his hand again. This time, however, it erupted with terrifying Battle Intent. With only a glance, Yun Yuan felt his back unconsciously dampen with cold sweat.

"The Spear Dao Second Realm: Spear Intent."

"Spiritual Power merges into the spear. When the will moves, the spear arrives. Within a single thrust lie Killing Intent, Battle Intent, and obsession. One is no longer restricted by techniques and can use Spear Intent to disrupt an enemy's spirit, shatter illusions, and suppress the mind."

But it still was not over. Gu Feng swung the Silver Spear in his hand once more. This time, it was ordinary beyond measure, as if an ordinary person were wielding a long spear.

Yet in Yun Yuan's perception, the Silver Spear being swung contained an even greater terror, as though it would transform into a life-taking spear the next moment.

"The Spear Dao Third Realm: Spear Heart Realm."

"Human and spear become one. The heart is the spear, and the spear is the heart. The martial soul and the mind completely merge. The spear is no longer a weapon, but a second body. There is no need to deliberately circulate Soul Power; with a single thought, the spear attacks on its own. There is no need to deliberately defend. When the enemy moves, the spear arrives first."

"Only after reaching great mastery of the Spear Heart Realm can one be considered a top spear cultivator on the continent."

After swinging 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 Spear Dao Realm was only the Third Realm, the Spear Heart Realm, and he had not yet reached great mastery.

The two realms that followed were realms he had yearned for all his life yet could never attain.

Next, with pure faith in his eyes, Gu Feng continued explaining the fourth realm of the Spear Dao to Yun Yuan.

"The Spear Dao Fourth Realm: Spear Soul."

"The spear gives birth to a true spirit, and the martial soul undergoes sublimation. The spear possesses a soul, and the person possesses a spirit. The Spear Soul can leave the body and draw upon the Power of Heaven and Earth. When the spear is thrust, it naturally carries the aura of laws."

"Looking back a thousand years, there were still people who could reach this realm, but they were exceedingly rare. Every Soul Master who reached this realm was powerful enough to suppress the entire Douluo Continent."
