Yu Xiaogang was still examining the Pope's Decree in his hand. By the time he came back to his senses, Tang Hao had already vanished, as though he had never been there.

Only the Pope's Decree in his hand proved that the man had just visited.

"Yu Xiaogang, you really are a genius master! You even guessed his identity!"

After shamelessly praising himself a few times, Yu Xiaogang carefully put the Pope's Decree back into his storage soul tool.

But the reason he had guessed that Tang San possessed twin martial souls was rather absurd.

In Yu Xiaogang's understanding, Blue Silver Grass could never withstand innate full soul power, so there had to be a second martial soul.

What he had failed to consider was that twin martial souls could only appear when both parents' martial souls were of comparable quality.

Either both were low-quality martial souls, or both were high-quality martial souls.

If one was high and one was low, the high-quality one would be inherited.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Yu Xiaogang's train of thought had never been on the right track from beginning to end.

The entire process was wrong, yet the result happened to be correct. That was why Tang Hao had tacitly agreed to let Yu Xiaogang teach Tang San.

Back at the Seventh Dormitory.

Yun Tian had no idea that Tang Hao had already let him off several times in his mind. He was still repeatedly deducing his spear art in his head.

"No, I still can't do it."

Shaking his head, Yun Tian could not find the key to it. Theorizing in his head was inferior to putting it into practice. He got out of bed and headed for the headmaster's office.

Knock, knock!

"Come in."

As the office door opened, Yun Tian walked inside.

"Oh? Little Tian? What is it? Is there something you need the headmaster's help with?"

Yuan Hua spoke gently. He had always treated his students this way. Those with exceptional talent naturally received special treatment, but he treated ordinary students equally as well.

He was growing increasingly impressed with Yun Tian. According to the students in the Seventh Dormitory, Yun Tian worked extremely hard at cultivation.

High talent, diligent cultivation, and excellent character—he had never imagined that such an outstanding student would appear at his Notting Academy!

"Headmaster, does the academy have any vacant cultivation rooms? I want to practice my spear techniques."

"Yes! Of course! Even if there weren't, I'd clear one out for you!"

Yuan Hua immediately perked up at those words. He admired geniuses and naturally enjoyed taking part in their growth.

He led Yun Tian to a fairly spacious room and said, "This training room was originally for the teachers, but you know how it is at a junior academy. There is simply no need for such a thing, so it was left unused."

"But that doesn't matter. Everything here can still be used normally."

"Then thank you, Headmaster."

Yuan Hua waved a hand, indicating that there was no need to be so polite. After giving him a few more instructions, he pulled the door shut and left, leaving Yun Tian alone in the room.

Clang!

As a long spear radiating a pearly white glow appeared, Yun Tian spun it through several flourishes before slowly taking a breath.

The ancient runes on the spear shaft flashed rhythmically. Its tip glimmered gold, carrying an innate aura of sinking suppression.

His palm gripped the Sky-Piercing Spear tightly as his mind sank into his sea of consciousness. Yet in reality, Yun Tian's body began performing a set of spear techniques.

Spear light surged, golden radiance flickering. Every sweep, every swing, every downward smash carried a heavy force that pressed downward, but none of them truly unleashed the full might of the Sky-Piercing Spear.

Countless scenes were also evolving in his mind. A sky full of spear shadows sealed off the heavens, the long spear constantly dancing through the air, yet Yun Tian felt that every one of those moves was riddled with openings.

"Nothing but an empty shell, driven by impulse, wielding the spear with brute force and no structure at all!"

Only now did the power of the Sky-Supporting Dao Seed truly reveal itself.

Yun Tian slowly held the Sky-Piercing Spear upright before him. All the violent, savage spear intent withdrew into the Sky-Piercing Spear on its own.

When he swung the spear again, there was no dazzling brilliance, nor any spear intent that seemed to flaunt itself.

A light sweep of the spear tip—Clouds Hang Low.

He rotated the spear shaft, spreading a ring-shaped spear intent called Mountain Suppression. Every strike was enough to sever the vitality of the earth's veins.

Spear energy condensed into a straight line—this was River Sealing. Every move could lock down the enemy's soul power flow.

After completing this, the spear in Yun Tian's hand slowly lowered. He merged all the spear intent into one, forming the final move—Skyfall!

Huff!

Yun Tian had just felt as if he had entered some special state. He did not even know whether he had completed this set of spear techniques in reality or only within his mind.

But in any case, his very own spear art had now emerged.

"Sky-Suppressing Spear Art!"

Boom!

Yun Tian felt as though everything had suddenly become clear. His spear heart was now lucid, and his spear intent no longer flaunted itself, instead becoming restrained and reserved.

He looked toward the mirror beside him, where Yun Tian's reflection appeared.

"Destiny's Eye!"

Immediately afterward, Yun Tian's traits slowly surfaced.

[Rainbow-Changer], [Rainbow-Supporting Dao Seed], [Rainbow-Piercing Legacy], [Gold's Heart-Painting], [Purple's Eye], [Blue Spear-Bone Physique], [Blue-Supporting Spear Art] [Blue-Supporting Spear Art: A self-created spear technique. The first form has not yet been fully mastered. It possesses immense potential for growth.]

As expected, the blue-quality trait had appeared. Though it was only blue, Yun Tian knew that the Sky-Supporting Spear Art's future limit was definitely at the rainbow tier. He simply had not fully mastered it yet.

"The effect of the Sky-Supporting Dao Seed is truly heaven-defying. Scenes and movements from the later forms can clearly appear in my mind, but I still can't use them before reaching a certain realm."

Yun Tian seemed to understand its purpose. It was equivalent to deducing in advance what he could master in the future. Once he reached that realm, he would be able to grasp it directly.

The sunlight outside the window remained bright. It did not seem as though much time had passed, and thinking of this put Yun Tian in a rather good mood.

After leaving the training room, Yun Tian locked it and headed toward the Seventh Dormitory.

As for the key, Headmaster Yuan Hua had said before leaving that Yun Tian could use the room freely. That was why the key was with Yun Tian.

He subconsciously touched his pocket and found that he did not seem to have much money left, though it would still last if he was frugal.

Besides, the Martial Soul Hall branch provided subsidies, so Yun Tian was not too worried about money.

This was the hardship of crossing over without any background. Unlike other transmigrators, who were either princes or emperors, he was merely an adopted village child.

There were no countless gold soul coins, no inexhaustible soul bones, and no mysterious protector. He had to rely on himself to keep a low profile and develop.
