After the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, the Hardest Part Was Stopping
The first day after returning to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Dong Jian did not participate in the Imperial Fighting Team training.
It's not because the Fourth Soul Ring has lasted for ten thousand years, still rejects the body.
It wasn't that the wounds left by the Dark Gold Spine Armor hadn't healed.
The real problem is--
His body is too easily exposed to force.
Someone walked by outside the dormitory.
The subtle vibrations caused by footsteps on the stone slabs would travel along the ground and enter the Yin-Yang Mountain Domain, where the senses had not yet fully subsided.
Someone was hitting a wooden stake in the training field in the distance.
Dong Jian could even distinguish that the impact first landed on the left side of the wooden stake, and then traveled through the base into the soil.
This change is extremely valuable in combat.
But when all the vibrations come in at the same time.
Value then becomes a burden.
Dong Jian sat cross-legged on the bed.
The Fourth Soul Ring did not light up.
The Yin-Yang Mountain Domain will still appear briefly when the Soul Power is circulating naturally.
Every tremor in the ground felt like someone was striking his consciousness.
light.
Heavy.
Far.
close.
A real foothold.
The aftermath of Soul Skill.
It was so chaotic that it had no boundaries.
He closed his eyes.
His consciousness sank into the Divine Dragon Secret Realm.
A gray-white space unfolds.
There are no new secret realm levels.
There are no cultivation techniques that appear out of thin air.
All that remains are Dong Jian's past battle records.
Twelve consecutive impacts.
The hunting process of the Dark Gold Earth Vein Bear.
Ten thousand years of Soul Shock.
When the nine pieces of Dark Gold Spine Armor took shape, the Soul Power in various parts of the body changed.
All the images were broken down into black and white lines.
A notification for the Divine Dragon Secret Realm appeared.
"Fourth Soul Ring absorption complete."
"Yin-Yang Iron-Eating Beast Origin Stability: 71%"
External Soul Bone Fusion Rate: 23%.
"The amount of information received from the ley lines has exceeded the current mental screening limit."
"Warn."
"Using Yin-Yang Mountain Domain and Force Observation simultaneously will cause an overlap of spiritual information."
Dong Jian looked at the two different rings in the Simulation space.
One is located at your feet.
Represents the Yin-Yang Mountain Domain.
The scope is very broad.
All forces that come into contact with the ground will create ripples.
The other one is located in both eyes.
It represents Force Observation.
The scope is smaller.
However, it can clearly see the sequence of force exerted on a particular target.
Both abilities can be used independently without any problems.
When both are enabled.
The ground tremors, body movements, and the flow of Soul Power all overlapped.
Consciousness needs to process dozens of pieces of information in a very short time.
Even if it absorbs the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
It is also unbearable in the long run.
"Can we merge?"
Dong Jian asked.
The Divine Dragon Secret Realm did not provide a direct answer.
The Simulation space only overlays two sets of information.
The result was a jumble of lines.
A prompt then appears.
No stable merger path was found.
Suggestion: Division of labor.
"The area under the jurisdiction of the Yin-Yang Mountain Domain."
"Force Observation is in charge of the target."
Users need to determine when to switch.
There is still no ready-made answer.
The Divine Dragon Secret Realm records the path he has walked.
It can point out where the imbalance is.
But they won't decide for him how to fight.
Dong Jian exited the secret realm.
When you open your eyes.
Li Man was standing at the door.
"Woke up?"
"I didn't sleep."
"Teacher Qin Ming asked me to come over."
She placed a training record on the table.
Ye Lingling said there were no new injuries on your back.
"But we cannot activate the Dark Gold Vein Suppression today."
"Why?"
"You already tested it yesterday."
"It only lasted seven breaths."
Dong Jian said:
"The ability limit is six breaths."
Therefore, we absolutely cannot continue.
Li Man walked up behind him.
Through the clothes.
The faint ripples left by the nine pieces of Dark Gold Spine Armor can still be felt.
When the External Soul Bone is retrieved.
The bone fragments did not disappear.
It simply sinks to both sides of the spine.
Each time the Soul Power passes through.
Mild numbness will occur in nine locations.
The third block from the bottom right is the slowest.
Li Man said.
Dong Jian turned around.
"You can feel it?"
"It's not Soul Bone."
Li Man raised her hand.
A faint Parasitic Bamboo Formation Eye landed on the back of the chair behind him.
"It's because your right leg is moving slower than your left."
After the seventh breath of the Dark Gold Spine Armor extinguished.
The numbness first spread from the lower back to the right leg.
Dong Jian himself has become accustomed to these subtle differences.
Li Man, however, was able to judge from his gait and center of gravity.
"The training ground is ready."
She said.
"But today we're only testing the Yin-Yang Mountain Domain."
"The Dark Gold Spine Armor has not appeared."
"Force Observation is not used either."
Dong Jian stood up.
"Was this arranged by Teacher Qin Ming?"
"I arranged it."
"He agreed?"
He put me in charge of taking notes.
The two arrived at the academy's secluded training ground.
There were no other Imperial Fighting Team present.
Twenty stones of different sizes were laid out on the ground.
Ten of them were actually implemented.
The other ten pieces are suspended half an inch off the ground by thin vines made of Green Jade Dragon Bamboo.
Li Man said:
"Close your eyes."
Dong Jian released the Yin-Yang Iron-Eating Beast.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black.
Four Soul Ring rose up.
The pure black Fourth Soul Ring caused the surrounding air to freeze briefly.
Fourth Soul Skill.
Yin-Yang Mountain Domain.
Invisible perception spreads along the ground.
Dong Jian quickly pointed out ten stones that had actually landed.
The suspended rock is not in contact with the ground.
Unable to enter the Mountain Domain.
Li Man changed the strategy.
Three suspended stones fell down.
The other four stones that were originally on the ground were lifted up.
Dong Jian made another assessment.
All correct in the first round.
Round two.
Li Man let the fallen stone slide along the ground.
At the same time, use bamboo and rattan to tap other areas to create disturbance.
Numerous false tremors were observed on the ground.
Dong Jian initially tried to trace all the ripples.
Mental stress immediately increases.
A prompt from the Divine Dragon Secret Realm flashed through my consciousness.
scope.
Target.
Division of labor.
Dong Jian no longer tried to determine the origin of each tremor.
Only look for landing points that truly have continuous weight.
The tapping of bamboo and rattan is short and sharp.
As the stone slides, it continuously alters the ground pressure.
He separated three stable paths from the chaotic ripples.
"Five steps forward to the left."
"Seven steps to the right."
"Two steps behind."
All correct.
The third round.
Li Man personally entered Mountain Domain.
There was a key point in the formation at her feet.
Before each step.
The bamboo and rattan would first tap another spot on the ground.
Dong Jian made a wrong judgment the first time.
He turned and attacked towards the bamboo and rattan.
Li Man had already passed by on the other side.
You mistook the first tremor for a person.
She said.
"Again."
The second time.
Dong Jian did not chase the first ripple.
Instead, we wait for the weight to actually fall.
The moment Li Man's left foot touched the ground.
He turned around precisely.
His right palm stopped in front of her shoulder.
I didn't encounter it.
"Mountain Domain didn't know everything in advance."
Dong Jian said.
"All we know is what's happening on the ground right now."
Remember this.
Li Man withdrew from the formation.
"Don't let the scope increase."
"They think they can control everything."
Next.
She let the feathers left behind by the Yu Feng fall from the sky.
Dong Jian was unable to make a judgment before the feather touched the ground.
They also used Green Jade Dragon Bamboo to create spikes that were completely suspended in mid-air.
The Yin-Yang Mountain Domain also remained completely unresponsive.
The boundaries of the Fourth Soul Skill were defined time and again.
The training lasted for half an hour.
Dong Jian did not experience numbness in his back.
I am still mentally exhausted.
"Stop."
Li Man said.
"We can continue."
"Today's goal has been achieved."
"I want to try the Mountain Domain Force Observation."
"No."
"Just one breath."
Li Man looked at him.
"Yesterday, the Dark Gold Vein Suppression) restricted six breaths."
"You used seven breaths."
"Today, I'm saying that Force Observation only takes a single breath."
"Will you say 'half a breath' more next time?"
Dong Jian did not answer.
Li Man walked up to him.
He reached out and pressed his hand against the edge of the black halo generated by the Fourth Soul Ring.
She couldn't truly touch the Soul Ring.
However, he used the Green Jade Dragon Bamboo Formation's core to cut off all moving targets on the training ground.
The ground fell silent again.
"After having the trump card."
Li Man said:
"The hardest part isn't actually using it."
It's time to stop.
"Really stop."
Dong Jian reclaimed the Yin-Yang Mountain Domain.
The Fourth Soul Ring slowly disappeared.
A new record reappeared in the Divine Dragon Secret Realm.
"Training session complete."
"The effective screening rate in the Yin-Yang Mountain Domain has improved."
"External Soul Bone not activated."
Overload risk: Low.
Dong Jian glanced at it.
Actively disable notifications.
The Divine Dragon Secret Realm can tell him whether he can still withstand it.
Li Man, however, would tell him directly—
That's enough for today.
Both reminders are important.
After training.
Li Man handed the record to him.
There's only one line of text at the bottom.
Yin-Yang Mountain Domain is responsible for finding the battlefield.
Force Observation was in charge of finding the enemy.
Don't try to see the whole world at once.
Dong Jian folded the record.
What will we practice tomorrow?
"Back to the Imperial Fighting Team Training Grounds tomorrow."
"The Fourth Soul Ring is revealed."
"Where is the Soul Bone?"
"Keep hiding."
Li Man turned and walked out.
"That thing."
"For now, only those who truly need to know can see it."
