Chapter 48: Prerequisites
"Take myself as an example. I am not only relying on my martial spirit talent to have my current strength. If I practice according to the usual method, I will be at the same level as Uncle Gui at my age."
Everyone was a little scared when they heard Qianshui's shocking speech, but Qianshui had no intention of hiding his incompetence in this regard, and if he really had the ability to cultivate a title, the people in the Spirit Hall would not have much objection. He was not the only one who understood these things, Bibi Dong's understanding was not bad, but it was not so comprehensive, just like the recent focus on traditional spirit master methods, with more practical courses.
"You are so arrogant, kid. You should know your own uniqueness." Ghost Douluo was referring to the twin martial spirit talents and his own experience.
"Xiao Shui, what you said doesn't make sense. Are you going to bring out your theory that auxiliary can be very strong again?" Feng Jingyi obviously disagreed. Qianshui was too special. The age of her soul ring alone was not something that ordinary people could achieve.
"It seems you still don't understand. Come with me. Facts speak louder than words."
Qianshui couldn't speak too clearly due to his cultivation method.
Everyone followed Qianshui to the fighting soul stage. Qianshui took out the Questioning Heart and handed it to Feng Jingyi, "Let's have a competition without using martial souls and soul power. Uncle Ghost, can you help seal the soul power?"
"Okay." Ghost Douluo said, and then he used his title-level strength to forcibly seal the soul power of Qianshui and Feng Jingyi.
"What the hell?" Yinjin was still the most excited.
"Just watch. Xiaoshui has his reasons." The speaker was Chen Sha. She had a deep understanding of the theory that Qianshui said, but she had not done enough and it had not had much effect.
Feng Jingyi weighed it carefully. It felt heavy in her hand without the bonus of soul power. "Xiao Shui, what is this for?"
Qianshui took out Mingxin again, swung the knife in a flower pattern, and said to Feng Jingyi: "Don't think about why, just defeat me!"
Putting aside her doubts, Feng Jingyi rushed towards Qianshui. She attacked and Qianshui defended, but she had no ability to attack Qianshui at all.
"I understand!" Ling Yunzhi was the first to react. He felt something was wrong when he fought with Qianshui. He was obviously a control type, and theoretically he was completely strong against agility types, but he was defeated by Qianshui, who was almost 10 levels lower. And what happened in front of him just answered his doubts.
"Weak attacks, slow reactions, and unskilled moves! Squad leader, sometimes I really envy you for having a sword spirit!" Qianshui made a final blow, knocking the Wenxin out of Feng Jingyi's hand, and grabbed it in his own hand again.
Looking at Qianshui, Feng Jingyi was in a daze, and she seemed to understand something.
"The martial soul belongs to you, but have you ever thought about what you would have without it? If a person's strength is simply determined by the martial soul and the release of soul skills, then what is the difference between soul masters of the same level and the same martial soul?
The answer is skills, the ability to control the battle situation, a contest of wills, and something other than martial spirits and levels. And these are exactly the things that traditional spirit masters don't care about at all."
Qianshui slowly walked down the fighting arena and put away his conscience.
"Why do soul masters with higher soul power of the same level have a higher probability of winning in a soul battle? Level is only a superficial phenomenon. High-level soul masters have much more combat experience than low-level soul masters, not to mention the soul power level that improves the soul master in all aspects.
So the question is, if I practice these in advance, without relying on the accumulation of soul power level, can I make my actual combat power stronger than the surface level?"
"Is this the significance of the practical course?" Ling Yunzhi obviously understood it.
Many times, some truths are obvious, but they are often ignored before they are brought up, just like why mobile phones must have physical keyboards?
"That's right. This is because the students who graduated from the Advanced Soul Master Academy are obviously stronger than the average independent cultivators. Many people attribute this to the talents of the students themselves, but this is not enough to explain the root of their strength.
People like to practice to the extreme and specialize in one path. Agility attack is the ultimate speed, and control is the ability to control the environment. Admittedly, these are not necessarily wrong, and they will be very advantageous in a team. After all, people are not lone rangers.
But if you really want to pursue true strength, I suggest not to do this, otherwise it will become a shackle on your growth. A talented and strong person may be able to impact the title by relying on his talent, but what about those who are not strong?
Or to give an inappropriate example, or a secret, Uncle Ghost, what department do most of the Titled Douluo belong to?"
"Strong attack system?" Ghost Douluo hesitated.
"Why is it the strong attack system?" Ruoyou asked anxiously.
"Why?
Because the strong attack system is the most versatile.
All the popes of the Spirit Hall in the past were strong attacking. Two of the top three sects were strong attacking spirit sects, including the three great peerless Douluos of the time, all of whom were strong attacking!"
Everyone was thinking, the question of the Title Douluo and the secret of the Peerless Douluo made them feel a little at a loss. Ghost Douluo was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. After all, the information of the entire Spirit Hall was open to Qianshui, and even if he wanted, he could ask Qian Daoliu.
"But you are a sensitive attack type, Xiaoshui..." After asking this question, Feng Jingyi reacted. Qianshui is not only a simple sensitive attack type, or does he really look like a sensitive attack type?
Qianshui turned to Feng Jingyi. He was still a little uncomfortable with so many people talking attentively. "In terms of category, my martial soul is no different from Uncle Gui's. The route I want to take is also speed, so I made up for the deficiency."
"What's the shortcoming?" As a sensitive attacker, Ruoyou was very eager to get the answer to this question.
Qianshui flashed in front of him and said, "Power and attack!"
"Let me start with the conclusion. I think: no matter how many defenses you have, you can't be defeated by speed! If you can't hit me, it's the same as not using any skills."
"But when one only pursues speed, one often sacrifices strength and attack in exchange for extreme speed, just like a leopard."
Just like the cheetah, the fastest reptile on land, in order to achieve extreme speed, their claws are more like wolves, their strength is far inferior to that of similar cats, and more importantly, their endurance.
"The most important foundation for achieving speed is strength and attack. In other words, your body needs to be able to support the speed. When you surpass your enemy, your attack needs to be stronger and more powerful. Otherwise, it won't hurt. So what's the point of being faster?"
"No wonder I was defeated by you."
"The reason is not that simple. Your speed is theoretically faster than mine, but I have also focused on training my endurance."
"Everyday evening run?" At least Feng Jingyi understood this.
"Yes, to sum it up, it is the cultivation of body, soul power, and spirit.
The body represents experience, skills, and physique.
The physique is the foundation of the foundation and the easiest part to cultivate. A tall building is built from the ground up. If the physique is strong enough, the application of techniques will be easy enough and there will be more energy to cultivate soul power and summarize experience.
As for the spirit, this is due to my martial spirit. I have not yet fully understood this aspect, so I will not talk about it. "
After saying so much, Qianshui's mouth was dry.
"Xiao Shui means that we focus too much on the cultivation of martial spirits and ignore other powerful factors, and even underestimate the benefits that the body itself brings to us." Chen Sha understood the situation the most and made some summary remarks.
"That's not right. This can also explain the speed of soul power cultivation!" Feng Jingyi still grasped the essence.
"It's hard work, balance and cycle." Ling Yunzhi answered first, "It's natural to practice hard. I think what the leader means is that we need to achieve a balance between physical and soul training, and then repeat this process day after day with this balance."
"Yes, my strength is also the result of accumulation over time." Qianshui agreed. Any practice is not good, and one needs to reach a balance point of comprehensive improvement. Just like the practice of spirit, energy and spirit, it can be said to be an all-round improvement. Without these, the development of skills is rootless and will only waste time and overdraw talent.
Similarly, can we achieve balance by excluding the cultivation of immortality? Bibi Dong and Tang San, Shrek's development of the martial soul method ten thousand years later, and Huo Gua's experience clearly show that it is possible. Gua is one aspect, but the importance of physical training and mental training has been made clear.
Even if they can't cheat, the extra benefits can accumulate slowly over time to a terrifying amount, which is far beyond those who only use ordinary martial arts, but not as fast as the protagonist who cheats. And there are few of these people who are weak in talent, and ordinary accounts should be able to do it.
"This kid's experience is far beyond your imagination. When he was six years old and had just awakened his martial spirit, His Holiness the Pope threw him into the Xingdou Great Forest without anyone to take care of him. He practiced alone until last year. He is unrepeatable."
Ghost Douluo reminded that although Qianshui's theory made sense, even he could not refute it. If he had been like him at the beginning, his achievements might have been far more than this, and he might have already entered the Worship Hall.
But if these kids all played like Qianshui, it would be almost impossible for any of them to survive.
