Chapter 166 The Great Sumeru Hammer!
Yu Tianyun jumped into the pool, and the refreshing coolness of the water instantly spread from his feet throughout his body, making him feel relaxed. This was the first time he had truly experienced this refreshing feeling.
His special training finally came to an end, and he had mastered the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique to a high level. He even believed that his spear skills were not much weaker than Yang Wudi's.
When he swam back to shore, Yang Wudi was already waiting there quietly, his eyes full of undisguised admiration:
"Tianyun, you did very well. Your training is now over."
Looking at Yu Tianyun, who had become resolute, courageous, and tenacious, Yang Wudi felt gratified and satisfied, as well as expectant.
Yu Tianyun simply smiled calmly, accepting Yang Wudi's praise without hesitation, and then asked, "Grandpa, are we about to leave?"
Over the course of a year, Yu Tianyun clearly felt his own transformation and improvement through this special training. His mastery of power could be said to have reached its peak; he could even clearly control the flow of every bit of his power.
Once he left the pool, even the slightest fluctuations in power around him could not escape his perception. Even a soft blade of grass, without the aid of soul power, could become a deadly weapon in his hand.
He now hopes that Yang Wudi can arrange even more intense special training for him.
Yang Wudi did not answer immediately, but instead raised his hand and lightly tapped Yu Tianyun's left shoulder. Yu Tianyun felt a considerable force coming from him, but he did not resist and turned his body accordingly.
Immediately afterward, Yang Wudi's scorching hand pressed firmly against his back. A surge of intense heat instantly penetrated his body, rushing into his dantian. The next instant, the soul power within Yu Tianyun's dantian erupted like a volcanic eruption.
Then, another powerful force came from Yang Wudi's hand and pressed down, causing Yu Tianyun to sit down.
"Concentrate your mind and cultivate your soul power."
Eight simple words came out of Yang Wudi's mouth.
Yu Tianyun didn't think much of it. Yang Wudi wouldn't harm him, so this action must be beneficial to him. Therefore, he immediately obeyed and began to meditate on his soul power.
However, after carefully sensing it, Yu Tianyun did not notice any significant changes. His soul power cultivation had increased to level 68, which was similar to the effect of his normal cultivation. In addition, the medicinal power of the Primordial Immortal Herb had been completely digested. Apart from that, there was nothing else special.
Yu Tianyun couldn't help but think that Tang San's soul power cultivation had also increased by about ten levels under Tang Hao's manipulation. However, the quality of Tang San's soul power was definitely not comparable to his own.
The reason why Yu Tianyun did not show significant improvement was twofold: firstly, the quality of his soul power was already extremely high; and secondly, the special training did not have as noticeable a tempering effect on his body as it did on Tang San.
However, being able to absorb all the remaining medicinal power of the Primordial Immortal Herb, coupled with his original cultivation speed, allowed him to advance four levels in a year and a few months, which was considered quite average.
A quarter of an hour later, Yu Tianyun calmed his fluctuating soul power, his divine radiance subdued, and he slowly stood up, just like an ordinary person.
This amazed and surprised Yang Wudi, who had never seen anyone wake up in such a short time.
The Haotian Sect members and his Po Yi clan members usually need several days to wake up when they use this method of suppressing soul power to cultivate. He originally thought that Yu Tianyun would wake up in at least a day, but it seems that he still underestimated Yu Tianyun.
Looking at Yu Tianyun who was staring at him, Yang Wudi stopped being emotional. After all, this wasn't the first time he had been shocked by Yu Tianyun, and he had long since developed a strong immunity to it.
After his expression returned to normal, he said calmly:
"Tianyun, the waterfall training won't be of much benefit to you now that you possess soul power. However, you need to practice the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique again with your Blue Lightning Overlord Spear. After all, it's formed from your martial soul, while other wooden or iron spears are ultimately external tools for practice. This process won't take up too much of your time. Also..."
Yang Wudi's expression suddenly turned serious, and he continued:
"Next, I'm going to give you the gift I promised you!"
"Gift?"
Yu Tianyun had almost forgotten, but now he remembered that Yang Wudi had once said that he would give him a gift after he completed the wooden spear training.
Yang Wudi did not answer Yu Tianyun's question, but suddenly asked, "Tianyun, do you know about the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian?"
"I know a little about it; it's a unique skill of the Haotian Sect," Yu Tianyun immediately nodded in response.
Then, Yang Wudi gave a bitter smile and said, "Actually, the Haotian Nine Absolutes were created by Tang Chen, the previous sect master of the Haotian Sect, based on the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique of my Breaking Clan."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianyun suddenly realized that Haotian Sect's Haotian Nine Absolutes and Soul-Breaking Spear Technique were related, and he did not expect that it was indeed the case, and that Haotian Nine Absolutes was created based on the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique.
Yu Tianyun immediately became curious and wanted to know more, so he stared intently at Yang Wudi.
Yang Wudi saw through his thoughts and continued:
"Tang Chen was the most outstanding Soul Master of that era. He single-handedly propelled the Clear Sky Sect to the throne of the number one sect in the world."
"Our Po clan joined the Haotian Sect at that time and became its affiliated sect. Later, Tang Chen happened to see a member of our Po clan using the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique, and he became curious and wanted to study and learn it."
"Later, unable to resist his repeated requests, the clan chief at the time, who was also my father, had no choice but to pass on the Soul-Breaking Spear Technique to him, along with the method of cultivating this waterfall and the techniques for sealing and suppressing soul power."
"Tang Chen truly lived up to his reputation as the most outstanding genius of that era. He actually developed nine ways to exert force on the Haotian Hammer based on our clan's Soul-Breaking Spear Technique, which are now known as the Haotian Nine Absolutes."
"Tang Chen is a grateful person. Unlike other disciples of the Haotian Sect, he is not arrogant and domineering. To thank my father, he passed on his family's secret techniques to my father, and my father passed on those techniques to me before he passed away."
At this point, Yang Wudi's expression suddenly became somewhat dejected. Yu Tianyun immediately noticed this and, at the same time, vaguely guessed something in his heart. His eyes suddenly became fiery.
Yang Wudi continued, "Although that ultimate technique is incredibly powerful, it places extremely high demands on the cultivator. Unless one is a genius with exceptional talent, it is absolutely impossible to cultivate it successfully, and one's life would be in danger. Within the Haotian Sect, only the Haotian Douluo of each generation has been able to successfully cultivate it."
"My father died from his body exploding because he didn't listen to Tang Chen's advice and forced himself to cultivate. I also have no confidence that I can succeed in cultivating."
The fervor in Yu Tianyun's eyes intensified. He knew that what Yang Wudi had given him was the Haotian Sect's most powerful technique.
Yang Wudi stopped keeping Yu Tianyun in suspense and said the words Yu Tianyun had been waiting for: "The ultimate skill that Tang Chen gave to my father is called the Great Sumeru Hammer. 'Great Sumeru' means infinite, which means that the Great Sumeru Hammer can unleash all the power of a Soul Master. Because the power it unleashes is extremely strong, it also requires the Soul Master to have extremely strong physical qualities."
At this point, Yang Wudi changed the subject, "I don't want this unique skill to be tarnished in my hands, so I've decided to give it to you. Tianyun, your talent is extremely high. You're not even 17 years old yet, and you're already close to becoming a Soul Saint. Moreover, your physical attributes far surpass those of ordinary people. I can sense that your physical attributes are much stronger than mine. Although I don't know how you cultivated this body, I believe you have the opportunity to learn this unique skill."
"The Great Sumeru Hammer, in theory, is about condensing all one's soul rings into one and injecting them into the martial soul, transforming them into the purest power and attack force, causing one's strength to increase exponentially, forcibly breaking through all constraints, and unleashing a powerful strength that surpasses one's own soul power. It follows the path of overwhelming force with sheer power. Of course, if one uses techniques on top of this power explosion, it will be even more powerful, but also more difficult to control."
"The Great Sumeru Hammer also possesses an extremely powerful skill, unleashing even more astonishing power. However, this skill also causes immense damage to the user, so it should not be used lightly unless in a critical situation. But your physical attributes are extraordinary, so you should be able to withstand it. This skill is Ring Explosion!"
Yu Tianyun, who was listening attentively to Yang Wudi's narration, was overjoyed. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was just dozing off. He had long coveted the Great Sumeru Hammer, and this meant that the immortal herbs he had given away this time had finally paid for themselves.
Then, Yang Wudi's voice abruptly stopped, and he slowly transmitted the secret formula of this unique skill to Yu Tianyun using the method of forcing the sound into a line.
Yu Tianyun immediately became serious, not daring to make the slightest mistake. With his mental strength, he could memorize it after just one reading, but he still asked Yang Wudi to read it again.
As Yu Tianyun carefully pondered the matter, he was astonished and exclaimed inwardly, "The person who devised this method for cultivating the Great Sumeru Hammer is truly a madman, but also a genius. Calling this skill a divine technique is no exaggeration!"
Now, Yu Tianyun finally understood why Tang Hao had been able to nearly kill Qian Xunji with his hammer. The Great Sumeru Hammer bridged the gap in soul power levels between Tang Hao and Qian Xunji, because Tang Hao possessed a 100,000-year soul ring, and the boost it provided after using the Great Sumeru Hammer was enormous. Furthermore, detonating one or two more soul rings would unleash another burst of power, making it perfectly logical to severely injure Qian Xunji.
As for the duel between Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen only won by half a move. It is estimated that Tang Chen did not use this move, or that Tang Chen used this move, but Qian Daoliu also relied on the divine power of the Angel God.
Both of them were defeated by Poseidon, probably because of the home advantage. Near Poseidon Island, Poseidon was able to draw more of Poseidon's divine power.
Although the cultivation method of the Great Sumeru Hammer seemed extremely terrifying, Yu Tianyun was fully confident that he could master it. He stopped thinking about other things and immersed himself completely in cultivating the Great Sumeru Hammer. This ultimate technique did not require a long time to master; it was just that the cultivation conditions were quite demanding, and Yu Tianyun happened to meet those conditions.
An hour later, Yu Tianyun had basically mastered this unique skill. He opened his eyes and looked at Yang Wudi, his eyes full of excitement and confidence: "Grandpa, I have initially mastered this Great Sumeru Hammer."
