46: Eight-sided Overlord Hammer, Thunder Hammer Technique

Chapter 46: Eight-Sided Overlord Hammer, Thunderclap Hammer Technique

The strongest Deep Sea Magic Dragon Hammer was also like this, but this move required charging and injecting energy that reached the Dragon Transformation Realm, comparable to a god-level ability. However, the conditions for activating this move were very strict.

The Sea God Magic Dragon Hammer was definitely impossible; the human form didn't possess that kind of energy.

But the Thunderclap Hammer Technique and the Eight-Sided Overlord Hammer could be tried.

“Let’s try it out.”

“Second Spirit Ability, Deep Sea Demon Hammer!”

Bang!

Ye Wen released his second Spirit Ability, the Deep Sea Demon Hammer, holding it in his hand, then struck a blow according to the activation technique of the Eight-Sided Overlord Hammer.

Whoosh!

A mere ordinary swing of the hammer had no power at all.

“Hmm? It actually failed. Which step went wrong?” Ye Wen wondered. Logically, his Deep Sea Demon Whale King's semi-human form could use it, and his human form should also be able to, as this was merely a unique skill, not an exclusive ability.

And as long as the human form understood its principle, it could also be performed.

Ye Wen tried a few more times and then understood: “So that’s it. Even if I’m very familiar with how to use the Eight-sided Plum Blossom Hammer, my human body can’t precisely coordinate every step. After all, both my physical body and Soul Power are too different, and there are variations in usage.”

“I’ll practice here for the next few days.”

A faint smile appeared on Ye Wen’s lips.

He couldn't return to the academy so soon. Obtaining a spirit ring would take a few days anyway, and these few days were perfect for practicing hammer techniques here.

“Eight-Sided Overlord Hammer!”

Whoosh!

Ye Wen began to try again and again, day after day.

Since he already knew this move, he was simply using a weaker human body, so he re-mastered it very quickly. In just three days, he had already mastered the Eight-Sided Overlord Hammer.

“Eight-Sided Overlord Hammer!”

Bang!!

Ye Wen condensed terrifying power, and with one hammer strike, the giant rock in front of him was instantly shattered into tiny fragments, turning into a sky full of rubble that fell to the ground.

“Although I can now unleash the Eight-Sided Overlord Hammer, the effect I can achieve is too different! It still requires a period of precise control,” Ye Wen analyzed.

Next, he already had a clear direction for his cultivation: mastering the Eight-Sided Overlord Hammer and the Thunderclap Hammer Technique.

“Three days. It’s almost time to go back to the academy.”

Ye Wen left the five-story villa where Scott and the other Spirit Masters were staying and returned to Tianshui Academy.

With only twenty-odd days left until the Five Great Elemental Academies Exchange Meet, Tianshui Academy, as the host of this year's exchange meet, had already begun setting up the venue.

They were also selecting representatives from each grade within the academy to participate. The selection method was a 1v1 single combat competition within each grade, and ultimately, the strongest three from that grade would represent the academy.

Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai were the strongest three in the second grade, and they far surpassed the other second-year students, so there was no need for a competition; their spots were already internally decided.

During this period, Tianshui Academy could be said to be very lively, but it had little to do with Ye Wen. For now, he only wanted to quickly improve the strength of his human form.

Unconsciously, half a month later.

Ye Wen’s Eight-Sided Overlord Hammer had become increasingly proficient and skilled. It could be said that its completion had reached eighty percent, but the power it could unleash was still worlds apart from his Deep Sea Demon Whale King's semi-human form.

He couldn't help but sigh: “It seems that even if I train the Eight-Sided Overlord Hammer to full mastery, its power can’t compare! The human form, whether in terms of physical body, Soul Power, or energy, is too far behind, and this move is very energy-intensive.”

“However, the power I can unleash now is probably comparable to an ordinary Spirit King’s fifth Spirit Ability, which is still quite good.” Ye Wen was somewhat satisfied.

“Now, let’s try the Thunderclap Hammer Technique.”

Just as Ye Wen was about to switch to learning a different hammer technique, Water Binger walked over from a distance: “You really are here! I’ve been looking for you for ages!”

“What’s wrong? Are you looking for me, Bing'er?” Ye Wen’s way of addressing her had changed from Water Binger to Bing'er.

“The internal selection for the exchange meet has ended. Tutor Shui Binger told all of us participating students to gather at the advanced class’s training ground,” Water Binger said, slightly out of breath, clearly having run all the way.

Seeing this, Ye Wen didn't delay, retracting his power and saying: “Alright, let’s go then.”

“Mm.”

The two walked side by side, chatting and laughing along the way.

Soon, the two arrived at the advanced class’s training ground. Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai had already arrived early. Besides them, there were also students from the first, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades.

Including three students from the advanced class, plus him and Water Binger, all 21 participating students were present.

There was also Tianshui Academy's strongest tutor, Shui Binger.

Shui Binger called out from afar: “Bing'er, Ye Wen, hurry up and gather.”

“Alright.”

The two jogged over and quickly joined the team.

Ye Wen surveyed the students gathered here. These were already the strongest individuals in terms of combat power from each grade level.

The first-year freshmen were all little junior sisters; he didn't recognize any of them.

The second-year students were Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai.

The third-year students were quite ordinary; none of them stood out.

The fourth-year students were also quite ordinary; none were particularly outstanding.

Among the fifth-year students, Water Binger and Shui Yueer were more outstanding. Currently, Water Binger’s Soul Power was level 25, and Shui Yueer’s was level 21. (This was altered; previously they were third-year students who originally went up to fourth year, but it felt like the age and grade didn't match, so it was changed to first year.)

The sixth-year students were also quite strong. They were Shen Liuyu, Gu Qingbo, and Qiu Ruoshui. These three were also the main combat members for Tianshui Academy in the future Soul Master Competition, and they all had high Appearance (beauty).

Shen Liuyu, Spirit: Enamel Water Crocodile, a two-ring attack system Spirit Master, currently Soul Power level 23.

Qiu Ruoshui, Spirit: Jade Lotus Fish, a two-ring attack system Spirit Master, currently Soul Power level 23.

Gu Qingbo, Spirit: Azure Sailfish, a two-ring attack system Spirit Master, currently Soul Power level 24.

The advanced class, which consisted of advanced Spirit Master students, had the largest age range, from over 12 to 25 years old, and their strength also varied greatly.

Tianshui Academy's remaining two main members for the future Soul Master Competition, Yu Hairou and Xue Wu, had not yet reached their prime. They were not top performers in the advanced class, so the students representing the advanced class were all unfamiliar faces.

Their strength was also quite ordinary, with the strongest being level 41, and the remaining two being level 38 and level 37.

Currently, Tianshui's participating students seemed to have decent overall strength, but it was unknown if they could defeat the four academies: Shenfeng, Blazing Fire, Thunder, and Elephant Armor.

At this moment, Tutor Shui Binger's voice sounded, and Ye Wen stopped paying attention, retracting his gaze.

“Alright, students, line up neatly in order from first to sixth grade.”

“Yes!”

Soon, the students all stood in formation.

Shui Binger continued: “In ten days, it will be the Five Great Elemental Academies Exchange Meet. In the last session, our Tianshui Academy only got third place! This year, I hope everyone can lead Tianshui Academy to win first place!”
