Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Chapter 37 Training
After a chase, Zhu Zhuqing was surprised to find that without using her martial soul, she and Dai Mubai were completely unable to catch up with Shi Yi's speed. Not only her, but even Dai Mubai noticed this and his face became extremely ugly. In his heart, he always believed that the reason why he lost to Shi Yi was entirely because of Shi Yi's extremely special living martial soul. However, he never expected that Shi Yi's own training was not inferior to his martial soul.

A strong white light suddenly burst out from Dai Mubai's body. With a few leaps, Dai Mubai rushed far away and surpassed Zhu Zhuqing in an instant.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai's receding back and said nothing. She had been dissatisfied with Dai Mubai's performance for such a long time since she came to Shrek, but the training during this period made Zhu Zhuqing have a slightly different impression of him.

Shi Yi felt the strong sound of breaking wind behind him, and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, "Using martial spirit, how long can you last?"

Soon, under Dai Mubai's full pursuit, Dai Mubai came behind Shi Yi, but Dai Mubai found that no matter what, that little distance was always like a chasm that could not be crossed.

The spirit master can obtain powerful attribute blessings when the spirit is possessed by a martial soul, but Dai Mubai's White Tiger is not actually that good in terms of speed, and Dai Mubai is far behind Shi Yi in terms of power control. These things are the key factors that affect the speed of the two.

Shi Yi's years of hard work have not been in vain. The most important thing to use the cloak well is strength control. Only with appropriate force and unparalleled precision can the power be gradually accumulated.

Theoretically, there is no upper limit to the power of Luanpifeng's hammer technique, but as the power accumulates, the powerful force will become extremely difficult to control. If you can practice Luanpifeng to the point of perfection, you can be considered to have achieved great success.

In this regard, even Tang San cannot compare with him, because he is a pure power-type soul master. The stronger the power, the higher the upper limit of the power control. The higher the control over the power, the higher the efficiency of converting power into speed. With the same leap, Shi Yi can be more powerful, more labor-saving, and more focused.

"Student Dai, why are you so anxious? Do you have any questions to ask me?" Shi Yi's voice with a hint of smile came into Dai Mubai's ears from the front, and Dai Mubai's expression became even uglier.

Seeing that Dai Mubai didn't answer, Shi Yi felt a little bored and continued his training quietly. With the continuous consumption of soul power, the distance between Dai Mubai and Shi Yi became farther and farther, and he soon returned to Zhu Zhuqing's side.

"There's a reason why he's recognized by the master and the dean. Just practice hard." Zhu Zhuqing said calmly to Dai Mubai.

Zhu Zhuqing's words seemed to hurt Dai Mubai's self-esteem. Dai Mubai's face changed, he snorted coldly, and left the team and headed towards the village.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai's departing back, and an indescribable complexity flashed in her eyes. She couldn't help but ask herself in her heart, can such a person really help her change her destiny?
Shi Yi naturally didn't know about these little stories behind the scenes. Feeling his body getting hotter, Shi Yi stopped and walked towards Shrek's cafeteria.

Soon, Shi Yi had a hearty breakfast. While he was eating, Yu Xiaogang said to Shi Yi, "Xiao Yi, you will go to class with me later."

Shi Yi nodded casually, and everyone at Shrek breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at Shi Yi. Yu Xiaogang's training during this period had exhausted them physically and mentally. In the eyes of everyone at Shrek, Shi Yi would not give them any devilish training. Only Tang San understood that if Shi Yi came to class, his training would definitely not be easier than that of his own teacher.

Half an hour later, the class bell rang. It's time to gather.

Yu Xiaogang stood beside Shi Yi, who was relaxed, with his hands behind his back. Looking at the seven students arranged according to age, Yu Xiaogang said calmly, "Yesterday, Xiao Yi made some suggestions on my training plan. I decided to choose one person and let Xiao Yi train him personally. Is there anyone willing to accept Xiao Yi's new training?"

Upon hearing about the new training, everyone in Shrek except Tang San and Dai Mubai raised their hands.

Seeing this, Shi Yi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't raise your hands so quickly. Although my training will be more effective, it is more rigorous than the teacher's training. Are you still willing to join my training?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Xiao Wu immediately put down their hands.

Shi Yi looked at the resolute look on Zhu Zhuqing's face, nodded slightly, and said, "It seems that Zhuqing is the only one willing to give me this face."

"As long as I can become stronger, I'm willing to join." Zhu Zhuqing said lightly.

"Don't agree so quickly. There is another question for you to consider. If you join my training, it will lead to the disappearance of the Nether White Tiger. Are you willing to take the risk and join?" Shi Yi chuckled.

For a moment, everyone's expressions varied. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had shocked eyes, Ning Rongrong had an amusement look on her face, and the others were confused and didn't know what Shi Yi was talking about.

"I don't agree!" Dai Mubai spoke out immediately. This was related to his life, even though he knew that his chances of winning were slim.

Shi Yi didn't care about what Dai Mubai said, but just looked at Zhu Zhuqing indifferently.

For a moment, Zhu Zhuqing didn't know whether she should agree or not, so she asked Shi Yi, "Can you tell me why?"

Shi Yi nodded and said, "Of course, you have the right to know. Zhu Qing, as a member of the Zhu family, you should understand the key to the martial soul fusion technique to achieve 1+1 greater than 2.

Zhu Zhuqing answered without hesitation: "The compatibility of martial souls and the spiritual connection between soul masters."

Shi Yi chuckled and pointed at Dai Mubai and said, "Do you think he can still communicate with you? What you want is to become stronger and change your destiny. If you accept my training, the situation will become more serious. Do you understand?"

Zhu Zhuqing showed a look of enlightenment when she heard this, and Tang San and Ning Rongrong also understood what Shi Yi meant.

"You..." Dai Mubai pointed at Shi Yi, looking timid but unable to utter a word.

"So are you ready to take the risk and accept my training?" Shi Yi chuckled.

"Zhuqing..." Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing with indescribable complexity in his eyes, but deep down he still hoped that Zhu Zhuqing could reject Shi Yi.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai, and a complex expression flashed in her beautiful eyes. However, seeing Dai Mubai's timid appearance, she became resolute in her heart. Then Zhu Zhuqing set her eyes on Shi Yi, and said with a firm look, "Can you really make me stronger than I am now?"

Shi Yi chuckled and nodded slightly, saying: "If my training results do not satisfy you, you can choose to quit at any time. In fact, I am not very willing to be this teacher. After all, the dean does not even pay me a salary."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll participate."

"Zhu Qing...you..." Dai Mubai couldn't help but say.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai and said seriously: "If you really want to change all this, you should practice hard. If you can't form a martial soul fusion skill with me because of some boring things, I will not accept your fate even if it's just one person."

Dai Mubai didn't say anything when he heard this, but just clenched his fists tightly.

"Okay, since you have made your choice, come with me." Shi Yi nodded and said softly to Zhu Zhuqing.

Then Shi Yi went towards his residence, and Zhu Zhuqing slowly followed him.

Looking at the two people's departing backs, Dai Mubai's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment, and the others also looked at the three people with different expressions.

"It's becoming more and more interesting." Ning Rongrong said secretly in her heart.

The two walked slowly side by side on the country road. Shi Yi looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said with some emotion: "In fact, sometimes, I think you two should switch your identities. Who is the cat and who is the tiger? Sometimes it's not just about the martial spirit."

Zhu Zhuqing said sparingly, "Training." Shi Yi smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. As a teacher, I will ask you some questions first, and then consider your training program. I won't blindly ask you to run with weights like your teacher did. Although this can also make you progress, it is not targeted enough. In the teacher's actual combat training, have you found that those you can't beat are still those you can't beat, and those you can beat can always beat them."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded subconsciously when she heard this. It was true that she was the most hardworking one in Shrek's training over the past few days, but she could still only defeat Ma Hongjun.

"This is not surprising, because you are using the same training. You are improving while he is also improving. So the more advanced training should be to think about how you can train to defeat opponents that you cannot defeat." Shi Yi chuckled.

"First, you need to set a goal for yourself and conduct targeted training. For example, when you fight Xiao Wu, do you find it difficult? Xiao Wu not only has a strong ability in close combat and is not much slower than you in speed, but also charm is the most difficult ability for low-level spirit masters to resist."

"What should we do?" Zhu Zhuqing asked calmly.

Shi Yi showed a trace of helplessness on his face and said, "Don't worry, can you listen to my analysis?"

"..."

"As for the Agility Attack System, I can summarize it into two points: either fast or weird. Having a speed superior to your opponent allows you to quickly approach the enemy and kill them with one strike. Having weird abilities superior to your opponent allows you to approach the enemy without your opponent noticing. The most representative examples are Ghost Leopard and Ghostly, two Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall. So what you need to train is not endurance but speed."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of Shi Yi's residence.

"If you want to gain speed, the simplest and most direct method is to train your leg strength. This is why you couldn't catch up with me during training in the morning, because my leg strength is far greater than yours." Shi Yi said, taking out the iron weighted leggings he had used from his soul guide and throwing them in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

"Your training has begun. Wear it for exercise. You can start with walking, which requires the smallest range of leg movement. You can even wear it in your daily life. After getting used to it for a while, you can run, jump, and do high kicks. The movements should be from small to large. Just like your teacher's training, keep adding stones until you are exhausted. I will also arrange the medicinal bath for you later."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing blushed as she thought of how she had appeared naked in the bathtub every day a few days ago. She whispered, "Medicinal bath..."

Shi Yi smiled and said, "Of course I will find someone to arrange it. Of course, if you want me to come in person, I don't mind."

"Get out!" Zhu Zhuqing spat out a word lightly.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the iron weighted leggings on the ground, and a trace of doubt flashed across her face. Can this simple leggings really help her improve? When Zhu Zhuqing picked it up, her face changed. This inconspicuous piece of iron was actually much heavier than the basket of stones she usually carried.

"I spent a lot of effort to make this thing using the chaotic cloak. It has a very high density. It is enough for you to play with for a while. In a few days, I will also purchase some precious metals to do some special training for myself." Shi Yi chuckled.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shi Yi, who used his not-so-great strength to tie the iron leggings around his calves. At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing felt that her legs were extremely heavy, no longer as light as before, and even lifting her feet to walk seemed extremely difficult.

"Remember what I said, proceed step by step, don't use too much force and make yourself crippled. If you want to increase your speed, the first thing is the strength of your thighs and calves, and the second is the control of strength, and then breathing, posture, appropriate step frequency and stride, all of which can affect your speed." Shi Yi instructed Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shi Yi and nodded seriously.

"Okay, you can start now. Since this is a physical exercise, try not to use your soul power. I hope you can still stand up tomorrow." Shi Yi joked to Zhu Zhuqing.

Hearing Shi Yi's slightly ambiguous words, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but glare at Shi Yi, and then began to move on her own.

Shi Yi saw Zhu Zhuqing lift her foot with difficulty, then slowly put it down, and the moment she put it down she actually let out a long sigh.

"Sure enough, without soul power, it is very difficult for me to even lift my feet." Zhu Zhuqing said secretly.

After watching quietly for a while, Shi Yi slowly left. He still had to go to Zhao Wuji. Zhu Zhuqing was not someone who needed supervision, so such a student would obviously be much less of a worry.

At this time, the other members of Shrek were conducting combat training under the supervision of Yu Xiaogang. Not long after, Shi Yi arrived at Zhao Wuji's room. Before he knocked on the door, Zhao Wuji's voice was heard from the room.

"Come in, boy."

Shi Yi also walked in slowly with a smile on his face.

Zhao Wuji looked at Shi Yi suspiciously and said, "You should be training that little kitty now, why are you here?"

"There's still one thing I haven't given you." Shi Yi raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "What good stuff?"

Shi Yi took out a light purple fairy grass from the soul guide. The top of the fairy grass was like a cap, but it was a Ganoderma lucidum. The whole body of the Ganoderma lucidum was purple, and below it was an emerald-like stem with nine leaves.

"What is this?" Zhao Wuji asked Shi Yi.

Shi Yi chuckled and introduced: "Teacher Zhao, although this ninth-grade purple ganoderma is not a fairy product, it has the effect of strengthening the body, replenishing the essence, and increasing energy and strength. It is of great benefit to your body. Eat it, and I guarantee that you can cultivate to the realm of the title."

Zhao Wuji looked at the ninth-grade purple ganoderma in front of him suspiciously and said, "A title? Are you kidding me, old Zhao?"

"Just eat it, you will feel the effect soon. If you can't reach the title in the future, I will use my soul bones to help you get it." Shi Yi said helplessly.

In this era, no one has a concrete concept of immortal items, otherwise Tang San alone would not have gotten them so cheaply.

Seeing Shi Yi's serious look, Zhao Wuji took it and put it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

"Ganoderma lucidum is warm in nature, but this ninth-grade purple ganoderma is also one of the best ganoderma lucidum. You should practice for a while to dissolve the medicinal power."

Zhao Wuji nodded, collected his thoughts, sat down by the window, and began to practice quietly.

Seeing this, Shi Yi slowly left and left Zhao Wuji's room. Shi Yi thought for a while, sighed slightly, shook his head, and headed towards Soto City.

Since he gave Zhao Wuji this ninth-grade purple ganoderma, Shi Yi would certainly not forget Yu Xiaogang. But after thinking it over, Shi Yi decided not to give it to him. Zhao Wuji might get a level improvement after absorbing the ninth-grade purple ganoderma, but it would not be too big, and there might not even be any improvement in his spirit power. Immortal products are different, and if Tang San noticed anything, he would get into trouble.

Before he has absolute strength, the existence of such a bug in the immortal product cannot be exposed. At worst, when he has achieved success in his cultivation, he can use the medicinal power of the immortal product to help Yu Xiaogang clear his meridians.
