Chapter 23 Encountering Tang San?
"Elder She, although you are a power-attack type, in terms of Spirit, you are still somewhat inferior to a pure power Spirit like the Clear Sky Hammer."
"Therefore, I think you should focus on your strengths rather than pursuing greater power."
"The spear is the king of all weapons. Since the serpent spear is similar in nature to the spear, the difference between cultivating the two will not be significant."
"If you can concentrate your power into a single point when thrusting out at high speed, then the attack power it generates may be comparable to that of the Clear Sky Hammer."
Inside the Spirit Hall, an old man over eighty years old stood beside Qin Mu.
Although he was an old man, he was over two meters tall, with a slender body that resembled a javelin, and he exuded an extremely sharp aura.
But at this moment, the old man was being scolded by Qin Mu like a grandson.
Qin Mu really wanted to curse at She Long, the Serpent Spear Douluo.
As a Title Douluo, he actually fought to a draw with an eight-ring Soul Douluo in the final battle.
He was even more seriously injured than that Contra!
The reason why Serpent Spear Douluo came to find Qin Mu this time was to talk to Qin Mu about a battle he fought when he was young.
At that time, he had the advantage in soul power, but he still lost to a disciple of the Clear Sky Sect.
He remembered this incident for forty years.
"Think about it, the attack range of the Clear Sky Hammer is, after all, as large as the hammer itself, while your Serpent Spear's attack power is only that tiny point at the tip of the spear."
"In a contest of strength, the power exerted by the Clear Sky Hammer is definitely much more comfortable than that exerted by your Serpent Spear."
"So you don't need to think about how to win by strength. All you need to do is concentrate all your attack methods on the very tip of the spear."
"By targeting a specific point, the destructive power of the Serpent Spear is definitely no less than that of the Clear Sky Hammer!"
Although Qin Mu was only a twelve-year-old boy, his soul power was only at the third ring.
However, his understanding of Spirits is in no way inferior to that of these elders.
Moreover, Qin Mu is the only person in the last hundred years to possess the intent of the Clear Sky Hammer. In terms of understanding the Clear Sky Hammer, it is probably impossible to find another person like Qin Mu in this world.
"I see."
She Long was clearly still a little uncomfortable being lectured by a junior, but fortunately he did learn something from Qin Mu.
"Furthermore, you can use your soul power to concentrate it at the tip of the spear when fighting enemies."
"While thrusting out at high speed, maximize its penetrating power."
"If you can truly cultivate to the extreme, you can even pierce through someone else's Spirit!"
Pierce through the Spirit!
Upon hearing this, She Long felt his mouth become extremely dry.
He never imagined that his spear could be cultivated to such a level.
Isn't this just a fantasy?
"Pfft..."
Seeing She Long, who was just as frustrated as she was, Ling Yuan, who was watching the show from the sidelines, couldn't help but laugh, which earned her an angry glare from She Long.
"Ahem, Qin Mu, the Pope said you need to go see her when you get back!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu raised his head in confusion.
Bibi Dong would never notify Ling Yuan to come looking for her unless there was something wrong; she would usually send Ling Yuan and Hu Liena to find her together.
So what will happen now?
With his doubts in mind, Qin Mu headed towards Bibi Dong's direction.
Ling Yuan's smile remained unchanged, and she was about to continue following when She Long blocked her way.
"Ling Yuan, I heard you've learned a lot since you went out with Xiao Qin Mu. How about we have a spar?"
"Tch, are you afraid of me?"
After passing through the quiet corridor, Qin Mu arrived at the Papal Palace.
Gently push open the door, the papal chamber is very quiet, and even the light is somewhat dim.
Qin Mu closed the door gently and tiptoed inside, only then did he see Bibi Dong lying on her side on the bench.
Her eyes were closed and her breathing was even; she seemed to be sleeping.
As Qin Mu approached, looking at Bibi Dong's flawless face, he had to admit that Bibi Dong was the most beautiful mature woman he had ever seen.
Qin Mu took out an outer garment from his storage ring and gently covered Bibi Dong with it.
"You've arrived."
Just as Qin Mu was about to find a place to sit down, the voice behind him made him immediately turn around and bow to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong looked at Qin Mu in front of her, stroking the clothes draped over her body, her eyes filled with a conflicted expression.
"Did you write this?"
Bibi Dong threw a thick book in front of Qin Mu. Qin Mu looked down and saw that it was the true core theory of Spirits that he had written over the past six years.
The majority of the content in this book refutes Yu Xiaogang's theories and has received support from the elders of the Spirit Hall and many other Soul Masters.
"Heh, great, you write really well... Humph!"
Sensing the mocking tone in Bibi Dong's words, Qin Mu couldn't help but look up and, sure enough, saw a hint of anger in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes.
With a slight frown, Qin Mu didn't offer much explanation, but instead changed the subject.
"Teacher, I have now obtained my third soul skill, and the academy is no longer sufficient for my training."
"I would like to ask to leave and go out to gain experience."
The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room instantly plummeted to freezing point.
"What? I said a couple of things to you, and you're not happy about it?"
"No, it's just that I really want to travel for a while."
Qin Mu spoke in a flat tone, his gaze towards Bibi Dong devoid of any emotion.
Bibi Dong stared intently at Qin Mu, but couldn't glean anything from his eyes for a long time.
"Go."
Her tone was cold, unlike the amicable tone she had just given.
"Thank you, teacher."
Qin Mu naturally knew that Bibi Dong was angry because he had ruined Yu Xiaogang's livelihood.
The elders of the Spirit Hall came to Qin Mu every few days to ask him questions about Spirits, and Qin Mu was so annoyed that he wrote this book.
If Yu Xiaogang's theory is correct, why would I have spent so much time writing a book?
Ultimately, it's just that Yu Xiaogang himself is useless.
If you can't understand cultivation, your theories will be full of loopholes.
Aside from being good at seducing women, he's utterly useless.
As for traveling, it was originally part of Qin Mu's plan.
Qin Mu didn't say goodbye to anyone; he didn't like that kind of thing.
After leaving the Spirit Hall, Qin Mu sighed softly and, after thinking for a long time, decided to rent a carriage to travel.
However, before Qin Mu even left Wuhun City, someone caught up with him.
"Hey, Qin Mu, what did you do to anger the Pope?"
Ling Yuan looked somewhat innocent. She had clearly followed the Pope's instructions to call Qin Mu, but upon seeing the Pope again, she was subjected to a severe scolding.
"Did the teacher send you to protect me?"
"You can guess everything, kid!"
Ling Yuan, who had been scolded, looked dejected and showed no trace of the arrogance expected of a Title Douluo.
Where are we going?
"Heaven Dou City!"
As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City is more than ten times larger than Wuhun City, and its magnificence is unlike anything Qin Mu has ever seen in his life.
This was the first time Qin Mu had ever strolled around such a large city since joining the Spirit Hall.
Compared to Wuhun City, Heaven Dou City had significantly more pedestrians; the word "lively" was far from sufficient to describe it.
Why are there so many people in Heaven Dou City?
"Don't you know? Today is the Continental Elite High-Level Soul Master Tournament, and it's being held in Heaven Dou City."
"No wonder."
Qin Mu wasn't particularly interested in the competition.
However, as the two passed a blacksmith shop, a voice coming from the shop's entrance made Qin Mu stop in his tracks and turn his gaze sharply toward the blacksmith shop.
"Uncle, my name is Tang San!"
