After the Blood Devil finished demonstrating the first three moves of the Six Severances of Ghosts and Gods, Qi Ling was filled with astonishment. Such profound skills were only the initial teaching; what level of advanced techniques were they?
"Sever Mountains and Rivers Crosswise, Void Severance Shatters Delusion, Gaze Through Autumn Waters "—these three moves can indeed be considered the most basic martial arts techniques. Each move has a different focus and trains different aspects.
The training course, which Sever Mountains and Rivers Crosswise, teaches Qi Ling how to exert force to maximize the weapon's destructive power, striving to achieve the greatest effect with the least amount of strength. This is a training in strength!
"Void Severance Shatters Delusion " teaches Qi Ling how to see through the opponent's moves and see through all their tricks, so that she is not deceived by the opponent's moves. It is a training of eyesight!
"Gaze Through Autumn Waters dry" is a training exercise for Qi Ling on how to counterattack an opponent's attack with the most skillful movements. This is a training in technique!
Although it is said to be three moves, the variations contained within it are infinite. Once you master one move, you can naturally understand the principles it contains, and then integrate this knowledge into your understanding.
"Practice these three moves well first. After you've mastered them, I'll teach you even more awesome ones!"
After saying these words, the Blood Devil disappeared again, while Qi Ling sat motionless, absorbing what she had just learned as quickly as possible and making it her own.
Although the Demon God Halberd emphasizes doing whatever you want, you can only achieve true freedom after you understand everything. Once you have mastered everything, your every move will be unique and distinctive.
After a night's rest, Qi Ling got up early the next morning, tidied herself up, and went to the training ground in the backyard to familiarize herself with the three halberd techniques taught to her by the Blood Devil. As time went by, Qi Ling gradually grasped the essence of them.
"However, just practicing like this won't work; it's boring, and theoretical knowledge alone isn't a solution," Qi Ling thought to herself. "I need to find a suitable opponent to spar with, but who should I choose?"
To spar with someone, one must at least be quite strong and have some understanding of martial arts. Originally, Bei Na would have been a perfect opponent, but now that she is recovering from her injuries, there is no way to spar with her.
Just as Qi Ling was pondering, Tang San walked over. He seemed to have just finished cultivating that morning, his eyes still glowing with a faint purple light, looking refreshed and energetic.
"Ah, brother, is this the Demonic Weapon you obtained? I never expected it to be a halberd," Tang San said. "It's completely different from your previous weapons. Will you be able to use it?"
"So this is how I practice, Xiao San. Come and give me your feedback. How are my moves?" Qi Ling said, swinging the Demon God Halberd. He couldn't wield it as effortlessly as the Blood Devil, so he could only try his best to unleash the power of the Demon God Halberd and show off his might.
During the training, Qi Ling naturally did not use Soul Power, relying solely on her own strength. Even so, Tang San still sensed a remarkably profound skill from Qi Ling's movements, and gained new insights into himself.
"How was it, Xiao San? Was my performance alright?" Qi Ling said to Tang San after the demonstration.
Tang San then sincerely praised, "Big brother, you're simply a genius! I can't believe you only obtained this weapon yesterday, it's unbelievable!"
"Haha, as long as I'm to your liking," Qi Ling laughed. "In that case, Xiao San, how about coming over to spar with me for a few moves?"
That's right. Since Bei Na isn't here, the best sparring partner Qi Ling can think of is Tang San. With the Sea God Trident in his hand, he must have some experience in this area, at least enough to withstand her attacks.
"Me? This..." Tang San wasn't worried about anything else; he knew he couldn't beat his older brother, that was for sure. He was just worried that if he performed too poorly, Qi Ling might find him boring.
"Relax, I won't use Soul Power, I'll only use skill to determine who's better. Of course, you're especially allowed to use Soul Power to compete with me, Xiao San," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Isn't that a generous enough offer?"
Even Qi Ling, without using her Soul Power, could only unleash a fraction of her strength. Moreover, Tang San is now a Title Titled Douluo, his strength has increased significantly, and he should not be underestimated.
So Tang San took out his Sea God Trident and began sparring with Qi Ling. As soon as they started fighting, Tang San smiled bitterly to himself. Qi Ling was indeed not using his Soul Power, but he was already firmly suppressing him with just his own strength.
Even without using Soul Power and True Dragon Qi energy, Qi Ling, with his Dragon Bone and Devil Blood, could already exert power comparable to Limit Douluo level with just his physical body. True Dragon Qi, with a mortal body, being comparable to a god, is no exaggeration.
Tang San then bitterly discovered that even though his elder brother had made the greatest concessions, he was still the one being beaten! Every time the Sea God Trident clashed with the Demon God Fangtian Halberd, his hands went numb, almost slipping out of his grasp.
More importantly, he had possessed the Sea God Trident for over half a year and practiced daily, yet he felt his skills were still inferior to Qi Ling's, who had just acquired the weapon! Was this simply a difference in talent? It was utterly disheartening.
The main reason for the difference between the two is the disparity in strength. If Tang San could obtain all the Sea God Divine Power, he would naturally have enough strength to control the Sea God Trident. Right now, he is far from being able to unleash the full power of this divine weapon.
"Alright, that's enough for now." Qi Ling said after shaking Tang San away, "Not bad, Xiao San, keep up the good work, you still have a lot of room for improvement."
Tang San said helplessly, "Brother, please don't discourage me like that. Compared to you, I feel like no matter how fast I improve, it's never enough."
"Of course it's not enough, then just keep trying and improving," Qi Ling said. "By the way, Xiao San, I've been so busy lately that I forgot to ask, how are Uncle Hao and your mother?"
Tang San now possesses the strength of Titled Douluo, meaning he has enough power to evolve his Blue Silver Domain to its final form, thereby resurrecting his mother.
Qi Ling and Tang San had already discussed this point before. Due to the special nature of the Blue Silver Emperor, a Plant-type Soul Beast, it possesses extremely powerful self-healing abilities. In addition, Tang Hao preserved the most important Blue Silver Emperor seed, which made everything much easier.
For all these reasons, Tang San was able to revive his mother without even needing to remove his Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, which can be described as extremely fortunate.
Of course, the most important thing is the power of the Sea God that Tang San obtained. This most inclusive Divine Power makes it no longer difficult to revive Tang San's mother, and it can be done now.
