Soul Land (Douluo Dalu)
CHAPTER 3
"Oh. ”
...The spirit ring, the beast, these two completely new terms kept appearing in Tang San's mind....
...Although he wasn't entirely sure that his conjecture was correct, but since the Mysterious Heaven Skill wasn't able to break through the bottleneck all along, this spirit ring was definitely a breakthrough....
"Little San, you can't be the spirit-filled power of the blue Innate silver grass mentioned by the grandmaster. ”
...Tang San nodded, saying:...
"It's me . ”
...Old Jack crouched down, and faced Tang San....
“Little San, I didn't expect your talent to be so amazing. Too bad, you have a father who does not have a good spirit to pass on to you. Otherwise, maybe you can really become the second spirit saint in our village. You told grandfather if you wanted to go to a special school to learn the cultivation method of spirit teachers. Only that place had access to the most accurate knowledge of spirits. ”
...At this moment, within Tang San, a strong interest in spirits had already appeared, especially the relationship between the spirit and his own Mysterious Heaven skill, but he still did not have a definite answer immediately....
"Grandfather Jack, not until I ask Dad. ”
...Jack suddenly realized, even a smart child was still a child, and no matter how he said it, they should also go to consult Tang Hao's opinion....
...Although he really did not want to go see that slovenly apparition, for the sake of the village to be able to once again produce spirit teachers, he would not stop....
“Go, San small. Grandpa will accompany you back home. ”
...Old Jack quietly returned without the other children, let their parents pick them up, and simply brought this Tang San back to the workshop....
"Tang Hao, Tang Hao. ”
...Old Jack did not care if Tang Hao was sleeping....
...If he did not forge agricultural tools so cheaply, he wanted to drive Tang Hao out of the village long ago....
...His age was no longer small, and he thought that if he fell here he would not only pull a muscle or break a bone....
"Who's making such a fuss?"
...Tang Hao's somewhat angry voice resounded....
...Putting aside the curtains of the inner room door, he hurriedly walked out....
"Old Jack, what are you doing?"
...Jack angrily said:...
“Today is the day of your son's spirit awakening. Don't you know how important this is? Other people's families have both parents accompanying them. You have to go too, and still as usual. ”
...Tang Hao, ignoring Jack's ridicule as usual, his gaze once again turned to his son,...
“San small, your spirit awakened? What'sthat?"
...Tang San said:...
"Dad, this is blue silver grass. ”
"Blue silver grass?"
...For some reason, despite not being interested in other things all along, as soon as Tang Hao heard these three words, his body suddenly shook at once, and in his eyes also showed a trace of sparkling brilliance....
...Tang Hao's expression changed, only paying attention to Tang San....
"Although it was a blue silver grass, but little San still had innate full spirit power. Tang Hao, I have decided that this year the quota of one of our village students goes to Tang San. Let him go to the main city spirit master academy of Nuoding to study. The village will guarantee the cost. ”
“Blue silver grass, blue silver grass. ”
...Tang Hao again and again muttered these few words, suddenly raising his head....
...In her eyes was a powerful light that Tang San had never seen before....
"Will not do it. ”
"Whatdidyou say? I misheard. ”
...Jack dug in his ear, surprised to look at Tang Hao,...
“You should know how valuable this opportunity is. Even if our village of the Holy Spirit produces a holy saint at a time, every one year we also only have one quota of students. For other villages, more than two or three villages had to share a quota of one person, did you know? It's a good opportunity. Perhaps little San is capable of becoming a noble master. ”
...Tang Hao looked at Jack with cold eyes,...
“What's the point of being elevated? I just knew that if he left, no one would make me food. Blue silver grass, what do you think can be achieved by planting blue silver grass? It was just a useless spirit. ”
...Old Jack firmly said:...
“But he has innate full spirit power, as long as he can get a spirit ring, even if it is the lowest quality spirit ring, he is also immediately able to become a spirit teacher. Spirit master, you understand? Our village has not produced spirit teachers for many years. ”
...Tang Hao coldly said:...
“This just now is your real destination. Saying it won't work, means it won't work. You can go . ”
"Tang —- Hao —-. ”
...In old Jack's mind, the anger had already burned to the maximum....
“It doesn't need to be that hard, I'm not deaf yet. I said: You can go. ”
"Grandfather Jack, please don't take it personally. I still won't go to learn the abilities of spirit masters. Father was right, the blue silver grass is just a useless spirit. Thank you for your good intentions. ”
...Although Jack hated Tang Hao the most, he still very much liked the intelligent Tang San, and his chest filled with burning anger was slowly soothed....
“Good son, grandfather not angry. Then grandpa will go. ”
...Saying so, he turned around and left....
...Courteousness to him was no small matter at all....
...Jack walked up to the workshop door and stopped, turning to look towards Tang Hao, saying sincerely and solemnly:...
"Tang Hao, your whole life will end like this, but little San is still young. Should you not consider giving him money to make a living? Don't hold. Then at least he won't end up in the same situation as you afterwards. If you change your decision come to find me, OK. There were still three months before the enrollment of the main academy spirit teacher Nuoding this year. ”
...But he did not let this greatly affect his behavior, he believed he still had a chance....
...In no hurry he returned to the workshop....
...Tang Hao did not normally return to the inner room to continue sleeping, and rather sat on the chair with his eyes closed and rested....
"Dad, you can go back to the inner room to take a nap, I'll prepare lunch."
...Tang Hao, his eyes still closed, indifferently said,...
"Are you also feeling very disappointed? You also want to go become a spirit teacher?"
..Tang San was a bit surprised, though,...
"That's not important, dad. Being a blacksmith is also good, it can also support us. You promised to teach me how to forge farm tools, right?"
...Tang Hao slowly opened his eyes....
...In the middle of her eyes, Tang San looked at the restless mood....
“Master spirit? What is the point of being a spirit teacher? Not to mention a mere vain spirit, even the strongest spirit or the strongest spirit was of any use? Still just good for nothing, that's all. "
...Tang Hao's mood was extremely agitated, his entire body trembling....
...Running, Tang San clutched Tang Hao's fist,...
“Dad, don't get mad, I don't want to be a spirit teacher. I will always accompany you and make you food. ”
...Taking a deep breath, Tang Hao's agitation left as quickly as it came, and he calmly said:...
“Show your spirit and let me see it. ”
"Good . ”
...Within his body the Mysterious Heaven skill quietly pushed, and in his consciousness he felt a strange warm current permeate with the Mysterious Heaven Skill....
...A pale blue light appeared on his palm, in an instant, a delicate blue little grass had already appeared....
...Staring in a daze at the blue silver grass in Tang San's hands, Tang Hao was in a daze, for a long time until he gradually recovered....
“Blue silver grass; it really is blue silver grass. And just like hers. ”
...Suddenly, Tang Hao excitedly stood up and walked into the inner space, a sudden movement almost causing him to fall in front of Tang San, the blue silver grass spirit in his hand dissolving itself....
"Dad. ”
...Tang Hao impatiently waved his hand,...
“Don't bother me. ”
...As he spoke, he had already entered through the inner room door curtain....
“But I still have another spirit. ”
...Tang San still knew after today's spirit that his case was unusual....
...Tang San had thoroughly studied the Mysterious Treasure Records by heart, and he was even more persistent in abiding by the general principles....
...The door curtain was forcibly removed, and Tang Hao reappeared to the outer space, his face already filled with a shocked expression....
...Tang San did not open his mouth, rather a moment ago he raised his right hand, and he slowly raised his left hand....
...It was a completely dark black hammer....
...The handle of the hammer is about half chi long, with a cylindrical hammer....
...It would appear to resemble a smaller version of the forging hammer, but the surface of the dark hammer had a strange light, and on the circular cylinder hammer a faint circle of decorative patterns....
...For some reason, just as a hammer appeared in the middle of Tang San's hand, all the air in the room looked rather heavy, though, and Tang San as if unable to withstand the weight of the little hammer could only hold it, his arm slowly drooped....
...Different from the blue silver grass that did not seem to require the destruction of Mysterious Heaven Skill, when this black little hammer appeared, it practically sucked up Tang San's own internal strength....
“This, this ....”
...Tang Hao took less than a step forward in front of Tang San, and grabbed the hammer in his hand to carry it in front of his face....
...Tang Hao's hand had great strength, at least Tang San no longer felt his arm held an enormous weight....
"Dad, what's wrong?"
...Looking at that black little hammer, a restless radiance that had disappeared appeared in Tang Hao's eyes once again,...
“Roh twins. It's actually a twin spirit. Son, son. ”
...Suddenly, Tang Hao stretched out his strong arms, and hugged Tang San tightly in his chest....
...Tang Hao's chest was very wide....
"Dad. ”
...As far as she could remember, this was the first time Tang Hao had embraced her in this manner....
...The hammer in his hand seemed to be becoming more and more heavy, and even though Tang San was very fond of the warmth from this father's love, he didn't even want the iron hammer to slip out of his hand and crush his father....
“Dad, I can't hold on. ”
...Tang San could not bear to say these words....
"Pull that. ”
...Tang San's heart felt extremely strange; this hammer was undoubtedly a hybrid with an incredible Mysterious Heaven's Path Skill, but why was it that he still couldn't lift it?...
...Tang San had never seen the expression on his father's rich face....
...Every kind of complex emotion appeared on Tang Hao's face, and after a long time, he was slowly able to utter a sentence,...
“Remember, in the future, you will have to use the hammer in your left hand to properly protect the grass in your right hand. Forever . ”
...While preparing lunch, Tang San at the same time pondered how today he related to the spirit world....
...It seemed that this hammer spirit of his seemed to be moving him greatly....
...In his case since this spirit ring was precisely the key to his inability to break through the Mysterious Sky Skill, then, at any rate, he would have to think of a way to get the spirit ring to be tested at a time....
...At lunch, Tang Hao looked extremely quiet, his meal also appearing much smaller than before....
...After finishing lunch, Tang San as usual prepared to tidy up the dishes, but Tang Hao asked him to stop....
"Wait a minute before you clean up, ok. Little San, I asked you, do you want to become a spirit teacher? "
...Tang San was in a daze for a moment, looking towards Tang Hao, unwilling to deceive his father....
...Tang Hao sighed, his face looking older, though,...
“In the end you are still on this road. ”
...Tang San realized, when Tang Hao sighed, he felt disappointed but in any case his expression was more satisfying....
...Cleaning up all the dishes, Tang San returned to his room and continued his work....
...Although she had no idea at what time this piece of coarse iron could be the size of a fist Tang Hao had asked for, it was, but this type of forging had an unreasonable benefit regarding the improvement of his Mysterious Heaven skill, and regarding his physical training the effect was also quite good Tang San had already started to try to reduce the Mysterious Heavens inner strength that was lacking when holding an iron hammer if possible....
...This way, he could maintain the time that he could swing the hammer for even longer....
...Lifting the door curtain, Tang Hao walked in....
...This afternoon she did not seem to be faking agricultural implements, at least Tang San had not heard the familiar beating sound....
"Dad. ”
...He didn't start talking, just looked at her....
...Tang San only then continued to hold the hammer....
...With his current inner strength, he was still unable to adapt to the temperature level, let alone this extremely heavy physical labor....
...Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang …
… The sound of the unceasing pounding resounded, Tang San's small body with an iron hammer in his hand definitely could not be proportional, but every time the iron hammer swung it still acted strongly....
...Tang Hao in his heart said, 'Inborn superhuman strength as well as innate full spirit power, no wonder he is able to swing an iron hammer even though it is this small....
...Seeing Tang San dripping with sweat, Tang Hao finally set his resolve....
“Shut up a minute. ”
...Tang San lowered the iron hammer in his hand, somewhat panting, silently urging his body's Mysterious Heaven skill to regulate his breathing, in order to recover his physical strength....
...Tang Hao walked in front of Tang San, picked up the iron hammer in his hand, and saw the stove where the piece of iron was burning red hot in flames,...
“Beating it like this, even with one year it can't be a fist. ”
...Tang san faced upwards, looking at his tall and large father,...
"Then how should I do it?"
...Tang Hao indifferently said:...
"Tell me, when you swung the hammer to defeat it, which part of the body did the power first come from?"
...Tang San thought, then said:...
“It should be waist, right. From the waist to the back, then afterward along the arms to lift the forging hammer? ”
...Tang Hao did not confirm or deny Tang San's statement, but continued to ask,...
"From the human body separated from the brain, which part is the most important?"
"That's heart. ”
...The heart and brain can also cause instant death, and while the brain still has a skull for protection, the heart has only skin and muscle, nothing more....
...As a disciple of the Tang Sect, he was very clear about the composition of the human body, and using hidden weapons to pierce through the heart of the enemy was the most effective and fastest method to cause death....
“Then, tell me how much someone has. ”
"A A?"
...Tang San, surprised, looked at him, somewhat confused....
"My jawb . ”
...Tang Hao coldly looked at her, his figure exerting pressure that caused Tang San to be unable to breathe....
"One . ”
...Tang Hao shook his head, saying:...
"No, you're wrong. Remember, man has three hearts, not one. ”
"Three?"
...Tang San stared in shock at Tang Hao, not understanding what he meant....
"here. In other words, the two muscles of the calf are the second and third hearts. If one wanted to expend all of his physical strength, in that case, he would have to use three hearts simultaneously to obtain results. Therefore, when it brought out strength, it definitely did not come from the lower back. Three hearts is the right starting point. ”
“When the heart inside your chest beats fast, the force coming from the two calves, the power transmits, reaches the thighs, passes through the waist, back, arms, and finally releases. It's a way to hit with everyone's power. The heart gives strength, the waist is the shaft. Looky. ”
...Tang Hao raised the hammer in his hand, making Tang San take a few steps back....
...At the same time, the hammer in his hand had already changed direction to return, and with a loud shout, his body half-spinned, both of his legs firmly stuck to the ground, and with a loud cry, his body half-spinned, stretched out by the tattered pant legs that both calves tensed for a moment, his entire body resembled a ferocious tiger ready to appear....
...Tang San could actually sense that this was only one person emitting physical strength....
...Tang Hao had no internal strength, and furthermore he had yet to release any sort of spirit power....
“With the lower leg exuding power, controlling the body power in order to successfully connect it into one, is the way to go all out. ”
...Tang Hao passed the iron hammer into Tang San's hand,...
"You did it . ”
"Good . ”
...Tang San did not think that forging also had such a conspicuous method....
...Both hands gripped the hammers' handles, mimicking Tang Hao's posture from before, Tang San's two eyes were firmly fixed on the hot red iron piece....
...Tang San shouted loudly, the physical strength of the legs along with the power of the Mysterious Heaven skill burst out from the lower legs, spreading rapidly, twisting the waist, through the back, across both shoulders, further into the arms....
...He clearly felt as if his strength had become stronger than before, which started through the lower leg erupting until the arm swung the iron hammer, his body seemingly wanting to fly off this great force....
...The results were clear, regardless of Tang San's age....
...Adding on the Mysterious Heaven skill, that this result was inferior to Tang Hao obviously, but compared to the previous hits, this effect was even more than it could be made with the previous ten....
...Seeing Tang San's movements, Tang Hao certainly did not give her praise, but in his eyes was a trace of astonished look....
...Tang San's work clearly surpassed what he had anticipated....
...Tang Hao did not expect Tang San to truly master this method of exuding power in this short period of time....
...He also had no idea that Tang San had painstakingly cultivated the martial arts of the Tang sect, not only possessing the foundation of Mysterious Heaven skill, but Controlling the Dragon Catching Crane, the Puzzling Ghost Shadow, and also the Mysterious Jade Hand, making his coordination ability far surpass the others his age ....
"Dad, did I do it right?"
...Tang Hao slowly nodded,...
“You understand the effect of the heart? Humans use the most appropriate muscles in the calf, so the calf is the source of all strength. Use the strength of the lower leg well, gather strength to increase effort. ”
...As he spoke, Tang Hao walked to the side of the bellows and sat down, and from under the bellows took out something forged from the rough iron: two foot pedals like objects....
“In forging, the bellows effect is also very significant. Fully heated metals can be forged better, and this can cause their toughness to become stronger. Every block of metal, even if it was an extremely impure metal, all of them also had their own souls. If the temperature is inadequate, and when forging if too much physical force is used it will be destroyed. As such, even if thawed and reprocessed, these pieces of metal are still waste. Therefore, when you use all your strength to hit a piece of iron, you must keep the temperature well. Bellowing also uses lower leg strength. Not only can you as far as possible maintain physical strength, you can also cause the bellows effect to reach the greatest temperature. ”
...Starting from the legs, the whole body quickly bounces back, both hands naturally push the bellows grip to open, the legs straighten and bend, once again bringing the handles back....
...Between coming and returning, the bellows operate at full power....
"You came to draw the bellows, according to my movements just now. ”
...Tang Hao handed his seat to Tang San...
...Having previously experienced holding an iron hammer and observing ama, Tang San sat on Tang Hao's chair earlier, very quickly understanding the method to work the bellows, although it was still somewhat jolted....
...Tang Hao held onto Tang San's forging hammer, and coldly said:...
“Using all your strength in holding the hammer to forge can fully use your physical strength. But equally, with a hammer drop, the strength from the rebound can put a huge load on you. If without a suitable guiding method, it is easy to injure yourself, and can also cause some of the physical strength to be wasted, unable to work on the metal. Following my moves that you should observe with ama, this is the key to whether you can beat this pig iron lump into a fist size in no time. ”
...As Tang Hao moved, his movements seemed to be no different from before, from legs to waist, waist to back, back to arms, with the sound of the clanking of iron hammers smashing into pieces of iron....
...Just as the iron hammer was bouncing off the reaction force, Tang Hao suddenly turned, with his lower leg emitting the strength as before....
...The soaring swing of the hammer had already risen, he swung it in a circle above, carrying the sound of a sharp wind, and once again a loud sound rang out as it struck the piece of iron....
...The iron hammer soared high, and Tang Hao's movements with the magnitude of the iron hammer's rise seemed to achieve some sort of perfect harmony....
...Not too early was not too late, in just a split second the iron hammer reached its peak, its body pushing the iron hammer in full circle, to once again smash....
...This is definitely a method of increasing strength, utilizing the rebound strength of the impact between the hammer and the metal and turning it into a downward force....
...Starting from the second attack, the physical strength of each punch surpassed Tang Hao's full strength, but was still under his control....
...Tang Hao moved faster and faster, the forging hammer hit the iron part like a fierce storm, the piece of iron continuously being deformed by the knock of the forging hammer....
...Each time the piece of iron was struck, it was reduced to half its previous thickness, and when it started to flatten, the forging hammer in his hand would directly hit the edge of the piece of iron, causing it to overturn....
...Thus, the piece of iron was evenly resistant to the hammer blow, and not just pounded into a flat iron cake....
...In an instant, the hammer had already hit thirty-six times, and Tang Hao's two hands pushed the iron hammer to spin on the head in succession in three circles....
...Not until the power of the hammer is dissolved, does he down the hammer....
"understand?"
...Tang Hao looked at Tang San who was unceasingly pumping the bellows....
"Utilizing power, I understand the principle. Only, this doesn't seem simple at all. ”
...Tang Hao indifferently said:...
“If you want to reach my level, there is only one way: skills come from practice. In addition, you must remember, if you hit a piece of ordinary metal, then when it is the most impure, it will also most likely be destroyed. At that time, when you defeat it the physical strength should be smaller, and when the dirt is gradually reduced, your physical strength can begin to increase gradually to maintain the effect of the attack. This dynamic control method is very important. Slowly you practice by yourself, ok. Do not blindly increase strength and speed: accuracy is equally important. At least you should understand the descendant of the Hammer, unless you can hit any place, what use is more physical strength? "
...With the weight of the forging hammer back into Tang San's hands, Tang Hao turned around and left....
...'Father did not go back on his words, he actually taught his forging methods, and also, from father teaching his point of view on these things, any profession all had a profound mystery, he said, everything is not so simple....
...Within the next half a month, Tang San daily practiced the method of forging the force lending hammer that Tang Hao had taught him....
...Despite having the Controlling Crane Catching Dragon to help control his strength, and having the Purple Demon Eye to determine the position of the hammer blow, this method of forging was still harder to master than he could have imagined....
...Fortunately, he had struck that lump of iron for a very long time, so the dirt had already been very little and was not easily destroyed....
...Otherwise, he would not have been able to control the weight of the forging hammer, and might have already destroyed it....
...With this kind of power-generating method, he could greatly reduce the consumption of Mysterious Sky Skills, allowing Tang San to have more time to pump the bellows and forge....
...He himself could only swing seven times, he did not know when he could reach his father level....
...Every time Tang San thought about this, he immediately had additional motivation to train....
...These days, as if he had forgotten about spirits and spirit rings, when cultivating the Purple Demonic Eye on the mountain peak in the morning, he had also deeply thought about the matter of how to swing the hammer....
...The time of three months passed very quickly, and just as Tang San was able to start using the hammer thirteen times, Tang Hao began to teach him how to forge tools....
...Tang Hao's teaching method was very hands-on: exactly as before he would do it once, then let Tang San do it again, and as long as he saw some basics learned, he did not interfere with his practice, either, never had many words of direction....
...Precisely because of this, every time Tang Hao gave a hint, Tang San remembered it more clearly....
