Chapter 594 The Confidence Brought by Blue Silver Grass
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo subconsciously fell into deep thought, his mind racing, and he quickly grasped the meaning behind Ning Feng's words:
"You mean, the abnormal increase in strength of those little girls might originate from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, or something within it?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly:
"Yes, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is a treasure trove after all. It's possible that all sorts of amazing natural treasures could be born inside, such as those immortal herbs that Tang San once mentioned, which have the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth and can turn decay into magic."
Sword Douluo agreed with Ning Fengzhi's words, but then a hint of regret crept into his tone:
"Unfortunately, the Golden Crocodile Douluo was guarding that place. Tang Hao and I were no match for him, so we couldn't break in to take a look. We're not sure if those things actually exist inside."
Ning Fengzhi seemed a little more at ease:
"Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they don't exist. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why they possess terrifying strength far exceeding that of ordinary Soul Masters at such a young age."
"At least the black ten-thousand-year spirit rings they possess, which have absorbed beyond the limit, are enough to prove one thing—the method of absorbing spirit rings beyond the limit does indeed exist."
Sword Douluo pondered for a moment: "That's true."
Listening carefully to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo's analysis, Ning Rongrong, sitting to the side, seemed to have some understanding, but did not interrupt rashly.
When the two finished their conversation, the sun was already setting in the west, and night would fall in about half an hour.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong, his gaze filled with doting affection:
"It's getting late, Rongrong. You should go back to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy first. If you stay any longer, it will get dark soon."
"Oh, alright, I'll head back now. Goodbye, Father; goodbye, Grandpa Jian."
After saying goodbye, Ning Rongrong left the teahouse.
Without Ning Fengzhi giving any instructions, several Soul Saint-level experts immediately appeared from the shadows, following Ning Rongrong's figure and escorting her back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
These were all guards specially arranged by Ning Fengzhi for Ning Rongrong, in order to ensure her personal safety.
"Feng Zhi, should we do something about those little girls from the Spirit Hall?"
Once Ning Rongrong's figure disappeared at the teahouse entrance, Sword Douluo withdrew his reluctant gaze and looked at Ning Fengzhi, but his words seemed to carry a hint of danger.
It's not appropriate to say something so hostile and dangerous in front of Ning Rongrong, but now that she's left, I can say it without any reservations.
Ning Fengzhi did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a long time before slowly shaking his head and letting out a soft sigh:
"Forget it, we can't provoke the Spirit Hall at this time."
"The Spirit Hall is a behemoth after all. If even a little bit of information about our intention to harm the young geniuses of the Spirit Hall is leaked, it will be an irreversible disaster for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Those little girls pose no threat to us at present, as for the future..."
"At least for the next ten to twenty years, before they have fully matured, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should be safe."
"Let's wait and see. Let Rongrong and Tang San grow up and we'll have the strength to fight against the Spirit Hall."
…………
A day passed quickly.
Over the next two days, the second and third rounds of the preliminary rounds of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament kicked off one after another.
In these two rounds of competition, the Shrek Seven Devils team, representing the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, had good luck in the draw, as they were drawn against relatively weaker teams.
Therefore, Tang San did not participate in the competition, nor did he even go to the competition venue. Instead, he stayed at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to cultivate the Distraction Control Secret Technique that he had obtained for free from Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Rongrong also did not participate in the competition. Like Tang San, she stayed at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to cultivate this technique.
And so, starting the next morning, Tang San and Ning Rongrong began practicing the Distraction Control Technique together.
The method of cultivating distraction control is not complicated, and different Soul Masters cultivate this secret technique in different ways.
Ning Rongrong's cultivation involves constantly releasing her different soul skills. The speed and timing of each soul skill's release must be differentiated, and she must strive to be as accurate and controllable as possible.
Her current cultivation level is at level thirty-seven, Soul Master. She only has three Soul Skills, which happen to match the most basic Three Apertures Heart Control technique among the distraction control techniques she can barely master at the moment.
That is, to release three soul skills at the same time.
The method of practicing the Distraction Control Secret Technique is not complicated. As long as you have a strong ability to observe the big picture, it is actually very simple to get started.
A strong ability to observe the big picture is simply a test of a person's intellect, vision, perception, and reaction speed.
To put it simply, it depends on how strong your mental strength is. As long as your mental strength is strong enough, then practicing the Distraction Control Technique will be twice as effective.
Tang San had practiced the Purple Demon Eye technique, which greatly amplified both vision and mental strength. Therefore, it was much easier for him to learn the Distraction Control Secret Technique than for Ning Rongrong.
Even so, the Distraction Control Technique is not something that can be mastered easily. It took Tang San two whole days to even begin to grasp the basics.
Of course, compared to Ning Rongrong, who was lazy, didn't like to cultivate, and spent several years mastering the Three Apertures Control Heart, this amount of time was definitely a gift that far surpassed others.
Tang San's initial method of cultivating the Distraction Control Technique was similar to Ning Rongrong's, but there were also obvious differences.
Ning Rongrong is a support-type Soul Master. She only needs to use her Soul Skills to provide precise attribute boosts to her teammates and doesn't need to worry about attacking.
Tang San's current role is that of a control-type Soul Master. He needs to maintain control and launch attacks while using Soul Skills, which makes the task much more difficult.
The method for Tang San to learn the secret technique of distraction control is actually quite simple.
It involves designating three objects in three different directions, constantly shifting one's gaze between these three objects, and using the Blue Silver Grass martial soul to entwine them from three directions each time, with the time interval between release and retraction strictly controlled within one second.
The technique of distraction control is very powerful. When mastered to its extreme, it not only allows one to observe every change in the surroundings, but also to keep those changes under one's control.
It may sound complicated, but the key to mastering the art of distraction control lies in the word "distraction," which means developing the ability to multitask and focus every bit of mental energy.
It not only requires a high level of mental strength, but also excellent reaction ability.
Tang San cultivated for a whole day but failed to grasp any key points. Instead, his eyes became sore from constantly focusing on three things in three different directions.
Just as Ning Rongrong said, the method of cultivating to control distraction is arduous, tedious, and boring. Even Tang San, who prides himself on his talent in cultivation, couldn't help but feel a bit resistant.
He diligently practiced all day, but his distraction prevented him from mastering the secret technique. Instead, he ended up with cross-eyed and it took him a lot of effort to restore his eyes to normal.
How could Tang San be happy about this?
Fortunately, his soul was that of a man in his thirties, and compared to his body, which was only fourteen or fifteen years old, his soul was much more composed and patient.
Having made significant achievements in the study of hidden weapons and poison making, Tang San is also a person with perseverance and willpower. In order to enhance his own strength, he would naturally not easily give up the cultivation of secret techniques to control distractions.
Early on the third day, Tang San finished cultivating the Purple Demon Eye using the purple energy brought by the dawn, and then went to the forest of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to continue cultivating his distraction control.
This ability to control distractions is indeed somewhat difficult to cultivate, especially in the initial stages. However, once you get the hang of it, mastering the basics becomes much easier, and subsequent cultivation becomes much simpler.
Tang San was somewhat discouraged after spending the entire day yesterday practicing his distraction control technique without making any progress.
After much painful reflection, he decided to change his cultivation method, not rushing to control it, but first strengthening his perception ability.
Perhaps it was luck, but the place Tang San chose to cultivate happened to be surrounded by a large patch of Blue Silver Grass.
A martial spirit can enhance all of a soul master's attributes, including perception.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Tang San closed his eyes and remained motionless, quickly entering a state he only had during his cultivation. His breathing was soft and gentle, and everything around him seemed to become empty and still.
The air, carrying the fresh scent of plants, flowed into my nose, my skin felt the warmth of the surroundings, and the sounds of insects chirping and birds singing entered through my ears.
Tang San sat there quietly, beginning to carefully perceive everything around him, grasping the changes in the surrounding environment, whether it was the air, smell, color, sound, or feeling—everything was within his perception.
In this environment filled with Blue Silver Grass, he, who possessed half the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor, relied on his understanding of martial souls and his comprehension of cultivation to try his best to feel and grasp that subtle, wondrous sensation.
By sheer accident, they entered a mysterious and profound state.
Tang San subconsciously raised his right hand, and a purplish-black light surged in his palm. Centered on his body, strands of purplish-black Blue Silver Grass appeared out of thin air and spread outwards.
Wherever it passed, it made a rustling sound.
When Tang San released his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, the Mysterious Heaven Skill flowed as the Blue Silver Grass gathered and grew, and his perception increased exponentially.
The previously vague sensations suddenly became clear, as if a mysterious veil had been lifted, and everything around them became clear almost simultaneously.
The purplish-black Blue Silver Grass that spread out seemed to become Tang San's eyes. Even without him opening his eyes, everything in the outside world was already reflected in his mind.
Every detail within a radius of several hundred square meters is so clearly visible.
In this mysterious state, three strands of Blue Silver Grass extending from Tang San's body suddenly began to writhe violently.
One vine climbed onto the trunk of a small tree and wrapped itself tightly around it; another vine swung across the ground, snapping weeds in half; and the last vine wrapped around a blooming flower and crushed it into dust.
The three blue silver grasses were doing three different things. Although it wasn't a skill, in that instant, Tang San completed the simplest example of using his mind for three purposes, achieving the Three Apertures Control of Mind, and officially entered the realm of mind control.
The meaning of "controlling the heart through the three orifices" is that the heart generates three orifices and controls them. Once you find the shortcut to entry, crossing this threshold will be easy, and subsequent cultivation will be much easier.
Tang San was in this state at that moment.
With the true entry into the realm of controlling the three apertures of the mind, Tang San's perception in the spiritual world became clearer, and his control over his Blue Silver Grass martial soul became more profound and more adept.
He maintained this mysterious state while experiencing the unique pleasure of complete control with a joyful and exhilarating feeling.
During this process, Tang San suddenly discovered that his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul seemed to have changed, and its originally blurry outline became extremely clear in an instant.
Along with the changes came countless special energies.
These peculiar energies are very dispersed, each strand extremely small, but they are neither soul power nor the internal force of the Xuan Tian Gong, but rather a different kind of existence completely different from both, giving people an extremely familiar feeling.
They converged from all directions, quietly flowing into his body through the Blue Silver Grass, and then slowly flowing out.
The reason why his own perception ability was able to be enhanced so dramatically seems to stem from these strange energies that carry a sense of intimacy.
Tang San tried his best to sense the changes between the special energies and search for their source.
As he focused his mental energy, he gradually discovered that the strange energy actually came from the large patches of Blue Silver Grass growing on the ground.
This inevitably surprised and bewildered Tang San.
In the Douluo Continent, Blue Silver Grass is the most common and ordinary plant. It can be found wherever other plants grow.
Aside from their tenacious vitality, they have almost no other function. Based on this characteristic, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is considered a standard useless Martial Soul and is not valued by any person or force.
Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul was the same, and he himself once thought so too.
But now he doesn't think that way anymore.
At this moment, all the Blue Silver Grass around him felt exceptionally familiar, even like they were connected by blood, as if they were his closest relatives.
It was this sense of familiarity that made them Tang San's eyes, ears, and nose, allowing his perception to extend even a kilometer away.
At this moment, Tang San had become the center of the entire forest.
He could clearly feel that in this forest of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, all the Blue Silver Grass seemed to be swaying slightly in the same rhythm because they were in harmony with his aura.
Tang San seemed to have become one with the world around him.
To his surprise, he discovered that every Blue Silver Grass he released seemed to come alive under the influence of these wild Blue Silver Grasses.
That mysterious feeling was indescribably moving, and the feeling of being in complete control over everything was even more intoxicating to him.
Perhaps this is the true form of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
With the enhancement of the Distraction Control Technique, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul gained an even more terrifying ability—environmental control.
Environmental control refers to the ability to control surrounding creatures of the same attribute by using one's own martial spirit aura. This is an extremely powerful martial spirit control ability.
The acquisition of this powerful ability surprised Tang San and filled him with confidence.
