Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 92: Horrible Upright Ape
Although Xu Yang's words were somewhat exaggerated, his purpose was to make Gu Rong and others believe in the power of the original soul master, and let Gu Rong accept Ge Erdan as his disciple so that he could help him verify another hypothesis in the future.

The guess is actually very simple, it’s just body training.

The body-building method that Gu Rong had given him could no longer keep up with his practice, because his physical body was now comparable to those of Soul Saints, but his soul power was only that of a Soul Sect, so the improvement of his physical body with each level of soul power was not much, and this improvement was also because he had a gravity bracelet on him.

Unfortunately, the level of his soul guide is not high. The gravity bracelet in his hand is only a third-level soul guide. It can only increase gravity to five times at most, which is not very effective for him.

So he wanted to do two things at once, researching new methods of strengthening the body with soul power, and at the same time improving the level of his soul guides.

But studying both together would consume a great deal of his time, which would inevitably affect his cultivation and would be counterproductive. Therefore, he needed some external forces. Soul guides could allow the soul masters of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect to conduct research, and the best researchers for the soul power bodybuilding method were the original soul masters.

According to the characteristics of the original soul master's martial soul, Xu Yang roughly divided human body training into seven parts: muscles, fascia, skin, bones, internal organs, blood, and brain. Except for the brain, he believes that there is no order in the training of these parts.

The advantage of the original soul master is that after they activate their martial soul, 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 studying body-building methods.

"...It's a pity that the book is incomplete. It doesn't contain any information about the cultivation methods of the original soul master!"

Having said that, Xu Yang deliberately sighed, but his eyes were always on Gu Rong.

Gu Rong couldn't help but roll his eyes and said unhappily, "Alright, although I don't know what you're up to, I do have some knowledge of bones. I'll take the time to guide him in his training. But don't expect me to accept him as my disciple. He's not qualified yet!"

"Thank you so much, Grandpa Bone!"

So, in front of Ge Erdan's confused gaze, the group decided on his future path.

However, although Ge Erdan was confused, he was not stupid. He had already heard that his martial soul had great potential and if he practiced well, he might become a strong man. His heart was immediately filled with murderous intent.

Fallen ones, I will kill you all!
Ge Erdan clenched his fists and swore fiercely in his heart.

……

"Xu Yang, this time when you go back, just follow the old swordsman and practice!"

"But is this a good idea?! If I follow Grandpa Jian out to practice, wouldn't that mean you'd be the only Titled Douluo left in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect? This would greatly restrict both you and my teacher's activities!"

Xu Yang was very happy when he heard Gu Rong's arrangement. After all, he was the best attacker in the continent and few could match him in combat. It was more than enough to solve his own problems. However, he also had his own considerations. He could not let the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect fall into a passive position just for his own sake.

"You don't have to worry about that. While we were hunting for spirit rings for you, Qing'er has already successfully obtained the ninth spirit ring and become a Titled Douluo. Therefore, our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect now has three Titled Douluos instead of two." Gu Rong chuckled, looking at Xu Yang with a hint of pride, and continued, "Although Qing'er's strength is not as good as the old swordsman, she should have no problem protecting Feng Zhi when he goes out."

"Master's Wife has truly achieved a breakthrough?!" As soon as the words fell, Xu Yang realized that this Master's Wife had consumed the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone, so achieving a Titled Douluo breakthrough was definitely not a problem. "Of course it's true. The sect has already sent me a pigeon." Gu Rong nodded, then looked Xu Yang up and down, smiling, "But it seems you've already realized your problem."

"Well, there's something wrong with my mentality. When I started fighting those three Fallen Ones, it seemed like I was using all my strength, but in reality, my mentality made me a little timid. I only used 50% of my strength!"

Xu Yang gave a wry smile. He had realized this problem long before when he and Dugu Yan were sitting on the edge of the field. The reason why he was so fierce later was entirely due to the surge of adrenaline after being injured.

This situation reminded him of a joke that was circulating on the Internet in his previous life, which was that in the eyes of animals, humans were very scary, and there were even records of humans killing wolves and leopards with bare hands 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 afraid because they don’t want to get hurt. But once the animals bite humans, adrenaline takes over the body, and then these animals will feel the horror of humans.

So under normal circumstances, it is difficult for humans to exert their own strength.

Although he was not afraid of being hurt, he was still instinctively influenced by the peaceful life in his previous life. He subconsciously wanted to resolve the fight with the least cost, so he was a little timid when fighting, which made him lose one step when experiencing a life-and-death battle.

This slight timidity was not noticeable during the battle, but it was extremely clear to a soul master of Gu Rong's level, so Gu Rong and Dugu Bo said that Xu Yang was a little too cautious.

Looking back on his life over the years, Xu Yang found that he seemed to have been seriously injured three times, and the rest seemed to be uninjured. In the thousands of battles he had experienced in the Great Fighting Spirit Arena, it seemed that he ended up basically uninjured.

As for the seriously injured, apart from the time when he fainted due to Dugu Bo's poison explosion, the other two times after he was injured, he burst out with strength far beyond his usual level due to adrenaline. It can be said that he exerted the strength he should have.

The reason for this situation is ultimately a problem of mentality, which prevents him from fully exerting his true strength. In Tang Hao's words, it is because he lacks courage and murderous intent in battle.

Solving this problem is very simple. It requires more experience and more fighting. Originally, Xu Yang was thinking of waiting until his cultivation reached level 50 and then forcing himself to go to the City of Slaughter to hone himself. Unexpectedly, Gu Rong would want Chen Xin to take him out to practice. This is undoubtedly a better choice.

"Now that you've realized it, then just follow me and learn from me. And haven't you always wanted to learn the Seven Killing Sword Technique? It's a great opportunity for me to teach you both!"

"Thank you so much, Grandpa Bone!"

Now that his master's wife has made a breakthrough, Xu Yang no longer refuses and prepares to practice with Chen Xin after returning.

As for going to school, why would he need to go to school when he has Jian Douluo to teach him?

"Grandpa, I'll practice with you when we go back this time!" Seeing that Xu Yang was going to practice, Dugu Yan grabbed Dugu Bo's arm and began to act coquettishly.

"Okay! After we go back, grandpa will take you to practice!" Dugu Bo expressed his great satisfaction with this.
