Why call him Gu Yue?
Jiang Xia was also speechless at Wu Zhangkong's sudden question.
Jiang Xia had already ruined Xu Xiaoyan's original opportunity by bringing her to the Spirit Pagoda, so he didn't completely ignore her.
Xu Xiaoyan falls into the category of normal geniuses.
Her cultivation speed wasn't particularly fast.
In terms of developing a secondary profession, it's perfectly normal.
It's impossible to say that it's different from others.
However, her strength lies in her Martial Soul, the Starwheel Chain.
Yes, that's it.
This alone is enough to make her stand out to all sides.
As long as she doesn't have major issues in combat skills and character, all factions are willing to nurture her.
Even if cultivation is slower, with steady progress and sufficient resources, one can eventually cultivate to the Super Douluo.
The value of a Super Douluo with a Starwheel Chain goes without saying.
So even though Xu Xiaoyan hasn't been performing exceptionally well lately, Jiang Xia hasn't forgotten her.
Xu Xiaoyan's talent has been recognized within the Spirit Pagoda, and some elders have already taken notice of her.
Of course, there are many factions within the Spirit Pagoda, and while many want to take on disciples, few actually do so, creating a system of checks and balances.
It was Jiang Xia who mainly brought Xu Xiaoyan in, and behind Jiang Xia stood Han Tianyi.
Jiang Xia, Han Tianyi, Gu Yue, and Leng Yaozhu have now formed a small group, clearly aiming for the position of Tower Master.
At this point, who would risk taking sides simply for the sake of recruiting a disciple?
Taking on Xu Xiaoyan an apprentice has nothing to do with normal succession.
The Zhuo Shi taught Tang Wulin, and that was truly the True Dragon Martial Soul teaching the Golden Dragon King Bloodline.
The application of Qi and blood is truly practical.
But who can teach Xu Xiaoyan anything? Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul has its own inherent mechanism, so there's not much to teach her.
This kind of inheritance leans more towards cultivating relationships and shared beliefs.
Just like Leng Yaozhu and Gu Yue, Leng Yaozhu taking Gu Yue as her disciple was actually due to the influence of Gu Yue's family.
The two had a good relationship, and Gu Yue needed to develop within the Spirit Pagoda, so he became Leng Yaozhu's apprentice.
The relationship that both parties cultivated was that of a teacher and student, and the discussion was based on feelings.
Rather than the professor's ability.
In contrast, there is the master-disciple relationship between Jiang Xia and Han Tianyi.
Jiang Xia and Han Tianyi are indeed teacher and student.
They learned real skills.
Of course, this is how it's done when you become an apprentice.
The problem is that after Jiang Xia became an apprentice, he proposed a path of turning illusion into reality, rather than relying on illusions.
This meant that Han Tianyi could offer Jiang Xia less guidance, but he still taught her skills, such as how to construct illusions.
To transform the abstract into the concrete, you must first have sufficient expertise in the abstract field; otherwise, what's the point of transferring the abstract to the real world?
Oh, you can release a fireball in your dream, so what's the point of making it real?
Did I successfully transform myself into a Soul Master who unleashes fireballs?
So, although they may seem to be on different paths, they are actually still on the same line. Han Tianyi's mastery of illusion magic can be passed on to Jiang Xia.
He used his mastery of illusion to help Jiang Xia construct everything within his Broken Dream.
Jiang Xia seem to rely more on Spirit Detection and Imitation, but he learned many of these techniques from Han Tianyi.
Without Han Tianyi's foundation in illusion techniques, even if Jiang Xia used his Spirit Detection to uncover some of the mysteries of Soul Skill and then Imitation them, it would be difficult to achieve the level he has reached now.
The Imitation within the Broken Dream is, in the end, still an illusion.
Imitation is Soul Skill from the Ice Fire Silkworm, and it does not inherently possess the ability to construct essence.
For example, if I see someone, I know what they look like. I can transform into their appearance and even detect the distribution of blood vessels in their body, including the direction of blood and flesh and their movement patterns.
It might even completely transform into that form.
But this is just Imitation.
Complete fantasy.
Because once the ability to Imitation itself is lost, the model simply cannot exist, and normal people would not be able to understand the relationships between the various organizations within it.
Illusion is the foundation of this.
Han Tianyi's illusionary arts had reached an extreme. Although he hadn't taken the path of turning illusion into reality before Jiang Xia's reminder, Han Tianyi had still touched upon this realm.
His illusions were so realistic that they could actually function in reality.
Therefore, the foundation upon which he constructed illusions was of paramount importance to Jiang Xia.
Without Han Tianyi's inheritance, if Jiang Xia wants to turn the illusory into the real, the illusory realm itself is already inadequate.
In the Broken Dream, you can fantasize however you want. But what is the state of your fantasy the moment it becomes reality?
What makes him deserving of the Heavenly Emperor's approval?
Is it that the images from the dream are materialized, or is it that the logic represented by the images in the dream is recognized by the Heavenly Emperor, who then manipulates the situation to present the same images as in the dream?
This is a fundamental difference.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Xu Xiaoyan hasn't become an apprentice yet, and her talent is only outstanding, not monstrous.
There haven't been any particularly outstanding performances in recent years.
In fact, her current achievements are already quite remarkable, but there's nothing she can do about it. Her contemporaries include Wu Siduo, Luo Guixing, Xu Yucheng, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Jiang Xia... who all entered university at the fourth-ranked level.
Compared to other characters of the same era, Xu Xiaoyan truly felt frustrated.
Of course, her Martial Soul is currently subject to time restrictions.
It can only transform into Starwheel Ice Staff at night.
Even if Jiang Xia could connect with the other party's will through the Broken Dream, causing the other party to be affected by the night even during the day, thus enabling them to unleash the Starwheel Chain.
But this still represents a dependence on external forces.
Now, the greatest opportunity is right in front of Xu Xiaoyan, so Jiang Xia naturally wants to take her there.
He originally planned to recommend Xu Xiaoyan after this assessment was over.
But now that he was going to go with the assessment team, he naturally asked Xu Xiaoyan to come along.
While Jiang Xia was having a lot of internal monologues, Wu Zhangkong on the other side was even more speechless.
He asked Jiang Xia to accompany him so that Jiang Xia would be his safety net.
But frankly speaking, what kind of safety net does Jiang Xia have?
While their support abilities are excellent, they still lack the strength to decisively win a single battle!
Only with Gu Yue is it complete.
Otherwise, why would Wu Zhangkong mention Gu Yue?
But clearly, the two were not on the same wavelength and had no intention of connecting with each other.
Upon hearing that there was an opportunity for him, Xu Xiaoyan did not hesitate and rushed directly from Shrek City to Heaven Dou City.
At this moment, Wu Zhangkong and Tang Wulin and others had re-established contact.
" Jiang Xia, can my Martial Soul really evolve into a stable Star Staff?"
A hint of anticipation flashed in Xu Xiaoyan's eyes.
This was a pie in the sky that Jiang Xia had painted for him a long time ago. He used the Broken Dream Martial Soul as bait, along with a special environment, to make her Martial Soul permanently evolve into the form of Star Staff.
Is today finally the last step?
