Although Xu Yang's words were somewhat exaggerated, his purpose was to make Gu Rong and the others believe in the power of Body Spirit Masters, and to get Gu Rong to accept Ge Erdan as a disciple, so as to help him verify another conjecture in the future.
The conjecture is actually very simple, it's just body tempering.
The body tempering method that Gu Rong gave him at the beginning can no longer keep up with his cultivation, because his physical body is now comparable to those of Soul Saints, but his Soul Power is only at the Soul Sect level. Therefore, the increase in physical body for each level of Soul Power is not very high, and this increase is still because he has Gravity Bracelets on his body.
Unfortunately, his Soul Tool level is not high. The Gravity Bracelets in his hand are only Third Level Soul Tools, which can only increase the gravity up to five times at most, which is not very effective for him.
So he wanted to take a two-pronged approach, researching new Soul Power body tempering methods on one hand, and improving his Soul Tool level on the other.
However, researching both at the same time would consume a lot of his time, which would inevitably affect his cultivation, and the gains would not be worth the losses. Therefore, he needed some external force. Soul Tools could be researched by the Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the best researchers for Soul Power body tempering methods were Body Spirit Masters.
Based on the characteristics of the Body Spirit Master's Spirit, Xu Yang roughly divided the human body exercise into seven parts: Muscle, Fascia, Skin, Bone, Viscera, Blood, and Brain. Except for the Brain, the cultivation of these parts, in his opinion, has no order.
The advantage of Body Spirit Masters is that after they activate their Spirit, they can clearly feel and control the lines of their own Muscles, Bone changes, Blood changes, Skin contraction, Pore closure, etc., making them the best tools for researching body tempering methods.
"... It's a pity that the book is incomplete, and there is no cultivation method for Body Spirit Masters on it!"
Speaking of this, Xu Yang deliberately sighed, but his eyes were always on Gu Rong.
How could Gu Rong not guess Xu Yang's thoughts? He couldn't help but roll his eyes and said angrily, "Alright, although I don't know what trick you're up to again, I still have some research on Bone. I will take the time to guide him in his cultivation. But don't expect me to accept him as a disciple, he is not qualified yet!"
"Then thank you Bone Grandfather!"
Thus, in Ge Erdan's confused gaze, they finalized his future path.
However, although Ge Erdan was confused, he was not stupid. He had already heard that his Spirit had weak potential. If he cultivated well, he might not be able to become a strong person. His heart was immediately filled with killing intent.
I must kill all the Fallen!
Ge Erdan clenched his fists and swore fiercely in his heart.
...
"Xu Yang, this time when you go back, you will follow the Old Sword Man to go out and cultivate!"
"But is this okay?! If I follow Sword Grandfather to go out and cultivate, doesn't that mean that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will only have you as a Titled Douluo left? This will greatly limit Teacher and your outdoor activities!"
Hearing Gu Rong's arrangement, Xu Yang was very happy. After all, that was the number one attack on the continent, and few people could compare to him in terms of combat. It was more than enough to solve his problems, but he also had his own considerations. He couldn't simply do it for himself and put the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in a passive position.
"You don't have to worry about this. While we were hunting Soul Rings for you, Qing Er has successfully obtained her ninth Soul Ring and become a Titled Douluo. So our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now has three Titled Douluos, not two." Gu Rong smiled and looked at Xu Yang with a slightly smug look, and continued, "Although Qing Er's strength is not as good as Old Sword Man, it is still no problem for her to protect Feng Zhi when he goes out."
"Master's Wife really broke through?!" As soon as the words fell, Xu Yang reacted. This Master's Wife had taken the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone, so breaking through to Titled Douluo was definitely not a problem.
"Of course it's true, the sect has already sent a message to me by carrier pigeon." Gu Rong nodded, and looked Xu Yang up and down again, and said with a smile, "But it seems that you have already realized your problem."
"Yes, there are some problems with my mentality. When I started fighting with those three Fallen, it seemed that I was using all my strength, but in fact, because of my mentality, I was a little timid, and I only used 50% of my strength!"
Xu Yang smiled bitterly. He had realized this problem when he and Dugu Yan were sitting by the field ridge. The reason why he was so fierce later was entirely due to the surge of adrenaline after being injured.
This situation couldn't help but remind him of the meme that was spread on the Internet in his previous life, that is, in the eyes of animals, humans are very terrifying, and there are even records of humans single-handedly killing wolves and leopards in life-and-death crises.
This is because humans have been in a peaceful state for a long time. When facing some ferocious animals, they subconsciously feel scared because they don't want to be injured. But once the animal bites a human, adrenaline takes over the body, and then these animals will feel the horror of humans.
So generally speaking, it is difficult for humans to exert their own strength.
Although he was not afraid of being injured, he was instinctively affected by his peaceful life in his previous life, and subconsciously wanted to solve the problem with the least cost, so he was a little timid when fighting, which made him a little short in the life-and-death battle.
This little bit of timidity cannot be seen in battle, but it is exceptionally clear to Soul Masters of Gu Rong's level, so Gu Rong and Dugu Bo would say that Xu Yang is a little too cautious.
Recalling his life over the years, Xu Yang realized that he seemed to have only suffered three serious injuries, and it seemed that he had hardly been injured otherwise. In the thousands of battles he experienced in the Soul Arena, he seemed to have emerged unscathed most of the time.
As for the serious injuries, apart from the time he was affected by Dugu Bo's Poison Explosion Art and passed out, the other two times, after being injured, he burst out with far more strength than usual due to adrenaline, or rather, he displayed the strength he should have had.
The reason for this situation, in the final analysis, was a matter of mentality, which prevented him from exerting his own strength. In Tang Hao's words, he lacked the spirit and killing intent in battle.
To solve this problem, it was also very simple, that is, he needed more experience and more fighting. Originally, Xu Yang was thinking of forcing himself to go to Slaughter City to temper himself after his cultivation reached the fiftieth level, but he didn't expect Gu Rong to think of letting Chen Xin take him out for training, which was undoubtedly a better choice.
"Now that you've realized it, then follow the Old Sword Man and study hard. And didn't you always want to learn the Seven Kill Swordplay before?! It just so happens that the Old Sword Man can teach you together!"
"Then thank you very much, Bone Grandfather!"
Now that Master's Wife has broken through, Xu Yang will not decline. After returning, he will prepare to practice with Chen Xin.
As for going to school, with Sword Douluo teaching him, what school does he need to attend?
"Grandpa, I'll follow you to practice this time when we go back!" Seeing that Xu Yang was going to practice, Dugu Yan also grabbed Dugu Bo's arm and began to act coquettishly.
"Okay! After we go back, Grandpa will take you to practice!" Dugu Bo expressed great satisfaction with this.
