Su Wen's interest was not in the explosive release of the eighteen successive chops. He was only interested in the technique of using wind to convert and transfer force.
Wind is dynamic. If Su Wen could master this technique, the defensive power of his power dissipation rasengan could be qualitatively enhanced. Under layers of dissipation, any damage that could truly hit Su Wen's body would be minimal.
Moreover, if the dissipated force could be converted back into Su Wen's own power through the manipulation of wind, gathering into a whirlwind for a counterattack, it would be a good strategy.
Using force against force, the key was that Su Wen could also store power by manipulating wind, allowing him to accumulate the force of multiple enemy attacks.
Su Wen didn't disclose his thoughts, but Feng Xiaotian still didn't refuse to share his techniques with Su Wen.
After all, this was an equal exchange.
The mutual exchange of techniques proceeded quickly. Even though Su Wen exchanged his own skills for the development experience of seven people, his ability to digest and learn was strong.
In just half a day, the discussion came to an end.
Su Wen then headed to Wind Demon Valley, a constantly stormy valley, which served as the training ground for Godwind Academy's students.
In Wind Demon Valley, the deeper one delved, the stronger the effect of mimetic training for wind attribute Spirit Masters.
At the same time, while resisting the violent wind in Wind Demon Valley, students were also tempering themselves as Spirit Masters.
Su Wen was currently in the deepest part of Wind Demon Valley.
He didn't rely solely on his strength to come here, but rather gradually advanced by controlling the wind.
This was also one of the ways Wind Demon Valley trained its students—by advancing through the mastery of wind, much like practicing under a waterfall.
The difference was that Su Wen almost always kept the violent wind separate from himself, attempting to make it his own and controlling it to flow past both sides of his body, then spinning behind him to counter the fierce winds ahead.
Su Wen stayed at Godwind Academy for a full ten days.
After digesting the gains from this experience, he followed Qin Ming's previous advice and headed straight for Elephant City.
Unlike the Blazing and Godwind Academies, Elephant Armored Academy was backed by the Elephant Armored Clan and was a directly subordinate academy. Although its educational purpose and methods were similar to those of Blazing and Godwind, it had a clear affiliation.
Currently, the relationship between the Elephant Armored Clan and the Heaven Dou royal family was somewhat tense.
This added a hint of conflict to Su Wen's Spirit Fighter training this time.
While Godwind Academy was located northeast of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Elephant Armored Clan was quite far away, situated in the southeastern part of the empire.
Although Qin Ming had advised Su Wen not to linger in the Great Spirit Arenas of various cities, Su Wen wasn't undergoing this training for a mission in the first place.
He had his own needs to attend to.
He indeed did not linger in various Great Spirit Arenas along the way, but he was constantly witnessing scenes, enriching his knowledge, and incorporating them into his contemplations one by one.
After almost half a month.
Elephant City.
Su Wen arrived in Elephant City ahead of schedule.
He stayed here for one night, and the Emperor Combat Team also arrived shortly after.
"Xiaowen, you seem different altogether," Qin Ming exclaimed as he saw Su Wen again.
Su Wen didn't explain in detail.
His experiences this time had been constantly changing, and the gradual maturity of his contemplation method had also changed his temperament, giving him a more mature and even slightly world-weary feeling.
Of course, this temperament, when reflected in Su Wen, showed more of a sense of maturity.
"For this time in Elephant City, Xiaowen, try to keep a low profile," Qin Ming advised in advance.
Su Wen nodded, but he didn't pay much attention to it in his heart.
He knows that Dugu Bo is secretly accompanying him, and he still has some confidence.
Even if there are Titled Douluo here, it is estimated that they would not risk offending Poison Douluo forcibly.
Don't underestimate Poison Douluo just because he doesn't have many friends. He is a typical lone wolf, not individually strong in combat, but he can turn you into a lone wolf too.
"Brother Xiaowen, quickly replenish me." Ning Rongrong, upon seeing Su Wen, first thing she did was replenish ammunition.
After the torture of last time, she got smarter. This time, she had Su Wen integrate a large number of Engrave-strengthened pages into her body in advance.
With Su Wen's Soul Power increasing and the development of Spirit Skill, the duration that the pages can be maintained is also changing. Now, the Engrave-strengthened pages can be preserved for more than a month without being used.
If the integrator cooperates to maintain it, this time can be extended to three months, which is a technique Ning Rongrong has figured out.
However, after nearly a month, the pages in her body have also been exhausted.
This past month may have been a true test for Ning Rongrong.
Before, she indulged in eating, drinking, and watching battles, but over this past month, every time they reached a new city, Qin Ming arranged for her to spar with Silver Spirit Fighters who were Spirit Grand Masters.
She engaged in battles with both support and offense-oriented opponents.
After each bout of training, Ning Rongrong's Soul Power bottlenecks also experienced some loosening.
"Alright, I'll replenish you now." Su Wen patted Ning Rongrong's head and said.
Over the past two years, Ning Rongrong's personality had already begun to change. Apart from maintaining her witch-like persona within the sect to preserve her pride, especially in front of Su Wen, she was obedient and docile.
Even Ning Fengzhi had noticed her transformation on multiple occasions.
"Sister Yan, you seem completely different too," Su Wen noticed the change in Dugu Yan.
Having not seen each other for a whole month, Dugu Yan's hair no longer had the purple sheen and had turned into black short hair, while her green pupils had returned to normal."
This is the basic sign of toxin cleansing being complete.
Moreover, Su Wen's perception is strong enough to sense the faint Dragon Qi emanating from Dugu Yan. This should be attributed to long-term consumption of Old Jerry's Earth Dragon Small Golden Potato combined with the absorption of that piece of Spirit Bone.
After catching up, it was time to get down to business.
Qin Ming returned to the rest area with the information about their opponents and distributed it to the nine of them.
"This time, the opponent for the Emperor Combat Team is still the Silver Spirit Fighter Team, as usual. Su Wen and Rongrong don't need to participate; they will directly engage in a 2v2 challenge against the Spirit Ancestors. I've already registered your names."
In this training session, Qin Ming arranged everything meticulously, fulfilling the duties of a teacher thoroughly.
However, Su Wen knew that between Shrek and the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, the latter might not hesitate to choose Shrek.
Because of this, he actually harbored some resistance towards Qin Ming.
The differences in the cultivation between Shrek and Qin Ming's efforts at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy are quite evident.
However, now that Qin Ming is still their teacher and fully committed to fulfilling his duties, Su Wen has always been very cooperative.
"But Xiaowen, your opponents this time are a bit troublesome."
The opponent matching is randomly arranged by the Great Spirit Arena. Unless both sides agree to a voluntary match and it has significant appeal, they must adhere to the matching mechanism.
This time, the opponents matched with Su Wen and the others made Qin Ming very serious.
"Your opponents are two direct members from the Elephant Armored Clan, with Martial Spirits of Diamond Mammoths. They have top-notch defensive Martial Spirits and are also formidable in attack," Qin Ming introduced the opponents' information to Su Wen and the others.
"Most importantly, their Soul Power levels are both above level forty-five!"
