Chapter 306.
The ice valley in the north and the glacier on the left can be used as a place to practice with the spear.
Wang Feng walked toward his destination. Although it was only the outer araea with nothing particularly special, there were many natural ice crystals that were very hard and irregular in shape. Due to the terrain, some ice crystals would often fall from the sky, posing a significant hazard to soul masters.
The glacier or ice mountain was interesting, the ice surface was extremely smooth.
Wang Feng didn't plan to venture into the inner circle of the extreme north yet. He wanted to reach level fifty first, create a spear technique, and then search for a soul ring in the inner circle. He also hadn't given up on finding the little blue bird. With his perception, he could sense the bird's presence if it was near. Wang Feng was particularly worried about the consciousness of Yaya and the Xingxing in the skulls of Shui Bing'er and Hu Liena.
Shui Bing'er's condition was stable and manageable, but Hu Liena's was more complicated. –Her martial soul had mutated, and the consciousness was in her skull, posing a risk of severe injury if an accident occurred. Even Bibi Dong, knows that the Starlight Fox's consciousness was in Hu Liena's skull soul bone, wouldn't dare to act recklessly due to her status as a personal disciple of hers and a saintess of the Soul Hall.
Upon finding the little blue bird, Wang Feng hoped to understand the situation better. With these thoughts, he soon arrived at the ice valley. This place was relatively small and lacked rare treasures, likely having been picked clean long ago. The valley was filled with numerous ice crystal pillars that resembled irregular mirrors, with snowflakes and ice crystals falling from the sky. These falling ice crystals had a corrosive effect, making it painful for a soul master to be struck by them. To avoid damage to his clothes, Wang Feng had to dodge the falling ice crystals and snowflakes.
The ice crystal pillars were hard and mirror-like, and without using soul power, Wang Feng couldn't quite –break them with a single punch. The slippery, irregular crystal faces caused his spear to veer off when he struck. During his first visit, Wang Feng didn't use any soul power or abilities, focusing on piercing the ice crystal pillars with his spear moves alone. Despite numerous attempts, he couldn't break through, which made him irritable. Thus, he chose this place to practice his spear techniques.
Piercing these pillars required focusing power on a single point and using short bursts of explosive strength. While this sounded simple, it was challenging in practice. The pillars' hardness and slippery surfaces caused the force of the spear to be deflected, leaving only scratches. Piercing them with a spear alone, without soul power or abilities, seemed impossible.
After a while, the valley was scattered with ice fragments, and the pillars bore numerous small scratches but no holes. This practice left Wang Feng questioning his skills. The primary feature of a spear is its piercing capability, and without soul power or abilities, even this couldn't be fully realized. Wang Feng wanted to practice to bring out the spear's best features.
During previous battles, even when activating the God Killing Spear and the [Slow World] state, Wang Feng could only cause damage without hitting precise points. A whole morning of practice, Wang Feng left only scratches on the ice crystal pillars.
"Titled Douluo are like these slippery ice crystal pillars... too difficult to pierce in one hit," Wang Feng muttered.
"Wait, let me try locking my mental power on a single point of this ice crystal pillar." He focused his mental power on one spot on the pillar and aimed his spear at it.
Boom!
The spear tip pierced through the targeted point of the ice crystal pillar.
Wang Feng felt pleased. "It seems possible to lock onto a point using mental power, preventing the force from being deflected."
With his physical fitness, Wang Feng could control every muscle exquisitely, quickly mastering basic skills. However, he hadn't delved deeply into them, making it difficult to handle special situations. Using a combination of mental and physical power, he could now pierce the ice crystal pillar. Though this felt like cheating, Wang Feng sensed he had grasped a key concept.
This time, he didn't use mental power to lock on and remained calm, as the spear's tip glinted like a twinkling star.
Boom!
Another hole appeared in the ice crystal pillar.
"It seems I've slightly mastered the basic skills of using a spear." Wang Feng felt exhilarated, his mind seemed cleansed by the rough surface of the ice pillar bearing two holes. The spear in his hand felt full of life. He entered a strange kind of state as he kept hitting the ice pillar repeatedly.
With each precise strike, a new hole appeared in the ice crystal pillars. Every shot was more accurate and powerful, and that using soul power or abilities.
After a final, powerful thrust, the spear shattered the ice crystal pillar, sending ice particles and snowflakes flying. Wang Feng carefully –avoided the falling ice crystals and snowflakes, keeping his body tense as a form of exercise.
As he retracted his spear, Wang Feng quickly came out of the strange state he was in as he pondered, "Is this what they called a moment of epiphany?"
Despite not feeling a deep connection to weapons, relying mostly on soul abilities, he realized the true potential of the God Killing Spear during battles against the two Titled Douluos. Reflecting on his previous –usage of the spear, he thought, "It feels like I was wasting its potential before."
Because he had never used a spear before, Wang Feng always used the weapon in his hand as a tool to attack the enemy. The God Killing Spear has a variety of powerful attack effects, but Wang Feng had never paid attention to the spear itself.
"The God Killing Spear itself is extremely powerful. I pay too much attention to its additional abilities and ignore that at its core it's a spear. When fighting two Titled Douluos, many of my attacks were ineffective. Just by relying on the power at the time, he has caused a lot of injuries to the opponent abruptly."
Wang Feng shook his head. "If I continue to practice in this state and learn more about the spears abilities and skills, I can do better and save more soul power."
The sudden insight just now gave Wang Feng a deeper understanding of the use of spear. Spear require skill to fully utilize its lethality.
"After comprehending the spear technique, I should be able to create a set of my own unique technique," Wang Feng thought. "Similar to the Disorder Splittting Wind Hammer method...."
I need to learn how to use a spear properly before I can actually create it.
Of course, Wang Feng would not improve the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer method, which was not suitable for spear at all, and the hammer method was too troublesome.
"A spear, it's best to be able to kill with one single decisive blow! One move should contain the greatest power! Can all the skills and comprehensions be gathered in one single move?" Wang Feng murmured.
With a general idea, Wang Feng started practicing his spear skills in this ice valley while thinking about what kind of spearmanship he should create.
Wang Feng didn't want to create it like the self-created soul skill of Douluo world, it was troublesome and not quite what he has in his mind. It should be a higher level of technique that truly is a spear technique.
It was another month later. Most of the ice crystal pillars in Ice Valley have been stabbed to pieces by Wang Feng, and Wang Feng is also more familiar with the use of the spear. Vaguely, Wang Feng could feel a little different.
Wang Feng felt very slow to be able to make such progress.
Even if ordinary people practiced for several years, they may not be able to grow as fast as him.
But Wang Feng thinks that he now has a skull soul bone, his mental strength has greatly increased, and his physical fitness is already very monstrous. The understanding and comprehension of various weapons, the understanding of one's own body structure, and the mastery of various knowledge came naturally extremely fast to him.
However, Wang Feng was still a little dissatisfied with mastering the various skills of the spear in a month and even faintly realizing a little true dao of it to say so. Moreover, he is already at a bottleneck.
Wang Feng felt that no progress would be made if he continued to practice.
"Then let's fight and find a soul beast that is around forty to fifty thousand years old or even higher... Without using the soul ability, see if I can make a breakthrough in my understanding of the spear? And maybe develop a rudimentary spear technique in the midst of it?"
