38: Spiritual Inspiration

Then, Hei Ye began to learn Windbreak Blade with Double-Bladed Mantis.

As expected of an intermediate skill, it wasn't something that could be mastered so easily.

It took a full ten minutes to initially grasp Windbreak Blade.

It still required a lot of practice to be able to use it flawlessly.

This speed already made Wu Song and Double-Bladed Mantis envious.

However, since Windbreak Blade had appeared on the panel, there was no longer any issue.

Windbreak Blade - Novice (1/40).

This situation was also within Lin Shu's expectations.

Hei Ye's comprehension of saber techniques was decent, but far from extraordinary.

He still needed diligent practice and a bit of stat allocation to reach that level.

Wu Song, however, was very satisfied; this speed was much faster than other Beasts.

Many would take a full day to initially grasp it.

"Very good, you're learning quickly."

"Next up is Blade Qi Strike."

He gestured for Double-Bladed Mantis to continue teaching.

It seemed that just one morning would be enough to learn these two saber forms.

It far exceeded his expectations.

Double-Bladed Mantis stood motionless in the center of the training ground.

Only the surging energy within its body twisted freely, ready to erupt.

Soon, it adopted a stance, its legs slightly bent.

Its forelimbs were positioned one up, one down.

Immediately, it drew its blades, and transparent saber glows, like streaks of light, shot out.

Each time it swung its left or right forelimb, a streak of light would appear.

The extremely sharp aura made one's hair stand on end.

A strong sense of danger erupted.

Several saber glows accurately hit the bullseye of the distant target.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Loud explosions rang out.

The target instantly exploded into dust upon impact.

It couldn't withstand the power of the saber glows at all.

Looking at the attack range of about ten meters.

This long-range offensive method was precisely what Hei Ye currently lacked.

It also compensated for a weakness, and its power was considerable, not at all inferior to the Windbreak Blade just now.

In terms of practicality, it was even better.

After witnessing these two saber forms.

Lin Shu realized that intermediate-level saber skills were no longer limited to the saber form itself, without fixed routines, stances, or movements.

Instead, they were more flexible and adaptable, achieving increased power by incorporating external forces.

It had to be said that the person who invented these saber forms was truly a genius.

To be able to evolve saber techniques into such a form.

"My favorite move used to be this Blade Qi Strike."

"The move is swift and fierce, not confined to a specific location, and can be used as one pleases."

He even showed a slight smile as he spoke.

Then, the teaching proceeded in the same manner.

He assisted one-on-one until Hei Ye mastered this Blade Qi Strike before stopping.

It also only took about ten minutes.

Seeing the teaching completed so quickly.

Wu Song took out his phone to check the time, realizing it was only a little past 11 AM.

He couldn't help but recall his own awkward experience when he learned it, which took a full day to complete.

He couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

"Since you've learned it, you can go back and practice diligently."

"It's almost lunchtime, I'll take you to the cafeteria inside the Martial Hall to eat."

"You've been in the Martial Hall for so long and haven't been there; this is a good chance to try it."

"No problem, Brother Wu."

Lin Shu nodded, this was true.

Afterward, the two, along with their Beasts, left the training ground.

They began heading to the cafeteria.

They then arrived at a two-story building.

This was the internal cafeteria, much smaller than a school's, but sufficient for the Martial Hall.

It wasn't open yet, but Wu Song, being an instructor, had privileges.

Upon reaching the second floor, someone was already specially cooking meals.

The two sat at a table, waiting.

They didn't idly wait during this time; Wu Song began to talk about some matters concerning the Hall Master.

"It's a pity the Hall Master isn't in Bin Province right now."

"Otherwise, I would definitely let you meet the Hall Master."

"The Hall Master must be busy with something, after all, he is a high-ranking Beastmaster, so he has many responsibilities."

Lin Shu stated his guess. Wu Song was already a Beastmaster close to the eighth rank.

That alone demonstrated the profound strength of the Martial Hall.

The Hall Master would naturally be even stronger, perhaps having already broken through the ninth rank and reached a new level.

"What you said is true; high-ranking Beastmasters are indeed quite busy."

"Just like us instructors, we don't always stay inside the Martial Hall."

"We take turns, one person for four months, to preside over the Martial Hall's work."

"The rest of the time, we're not in Bin Province."

Hearing Wu Song's explanation, Lin Shu suddenly understood.

No wonder there were three instructors, yet he never saw them; this was the arrangement.

"I see."

"Hmm, and the Hall Master is even more free; sometimes he doesn't return even once a year."

"He's usually in the Otherworld, like a divine dragon, only showing its head but not its tail."

"I've also informed him about you, but there's been no response, so he must have something important to deal with."

"Brother Wu, what rank of Beastmaster is the Hall Master?"

Lin Shu asked the question, mainly wanting to understand what realm lay beyond the ninth rank.

Wu Song glanced at Lin Shu and didn't refuse; in the past, he too, like Lin Shu, wished to understand more.

"It's fine to tell you; you'll know all this after you go to university."

"The Hall Master's strength is beyond the ninth rank."

"This realm is called Spirit Origin."

"But I won't go into details about the specific content and methods with you."

Wu Song's eyes held longing, clearly he also hoped to step into this realm.

He had already looked into some things.

Lin Shu nodded, silently remembering the name.

"Just listen to these things; don't take them to heart."

"They are still too far away from you; your current focus should still be on cultivating your Beast and yourself."

Wu Song still reminded him, fearing that speaking of this might cause some problems.

"No, I'm just curious."

Lin Shu was not someone who aimed too high and neglected the present.

Amidst their lively conversation, lunch was also cooked.

The ingredients were exquisitely prepared, not inferior even to the food Bai Sheng prepared at the White Cloud Arena.

Ordinary Martial Hall students couldn't eat these; it was probably similar to a school cafeteria.

The Beast's food was also prepared.

Next was lunchtime, which didn't take too long and quickly ended.

Afterward, Wu Song continued to have Double-Bladed Mantis guide Hei Ye.

Helping to find shortcomings.

As for the other Martial Hall students, they would be taught by other teachers.

He himself didn't have time to deal with them.

Soon, the afternoon passed.

Lin Shu also had to return to Shinan District.

Before he left, Wu Song specifically exhorted him.

"If you have any difficulties, you can always come to me; remember, it's for everything, don't be shy."

"I still have some friends in Fengdu City."
