Douluo: My Spirit Pidgeot

Chapter 174 Poseidon's Surprise
Poseidon Island.

On the shore, Mo Hui stretched out his right hand and gently tapped forward.

"Oh!"

In an instant, a spiral-shaped water cannon shot out from Mo Hui's fingertips, and the shockwave it carried caused the sea surface thousands of meters in front of him to tremble violently.

However, upon seeing this, Mo Hui frowned, because although the scene before him was shocking, it did not achieve the effect he had expected.

The sea level tremors meant that the water cannon he was using was not refined enough and still had a lot of energy leaking out, which would greatly affect the power of the water cannon.

However, Mo Hui has not come away empty-handed these past few days.

Since Mo Hui changed the water cannon from a direct energy beam to a spiral launch, his water cannon technique has become much more refined, and its range has more than doubled from two or three hundred meters to six or seven hundred meters.

After Mo Hui's continuous improvements, the attack range has now reached a kilometer.

Don't underestimate this kilometer distance. In the Douluo Continent, the attack range of a Soul Master is extremely limited. Even the top-ranking Title Douluo's Soul Skill attack range is generally only a little over a hundred meters.

However, Mo Hui's water cannon has an attack range nearly ten times that of a Title Douluo. With such a large distance difference, if Mo Hui were to fight them, his advantage would be enormous.

The advantages of a longer attack range are obvious. Before the advent of modern firearms, the strongest single-soldier weapon in ancient times was undoubtedly the bow and arrow, because the bow and arrow could kill the opponent at a safe distance, thus minimizing the risk of the opponent engaging in close combat.

Among melee weapons, the strongest is the spear, and the principle is the same: the longer the weapon, the stronger it is.

Just how powerful is the spear? Almost every melee weapon that might fight it has developed a special spear-breaking technique based on the spear as its hypothetical enemy.

As we all know, being assertive doesn't necessarily mean being truly strong; true strength lies in making everyone target you without prior agreement.

Even under such targeted conditions, the spear remained standing. A spearman who had trained for three months could easily defeat a swordsman who had trained for three years, demonstrating its formidable strength.

It is only in fantasy novels that swords appear more often than spears, because once you reach a certain level of mastery, you can unleash ranged attacks such as sword energy, regardless of whether it is a sword or any other weapon, thus negating the range advantage of the spear.

"It seems I should consult with Senior Poseidon; perhaps I'll find some useful information that way."

Mo Hui sighed and said.

While the distance of one kilometer was good, it was still far from meeting Mo Hui's requirements. In Mo Hui's eyes, the water cannon still had enormous potential.

A short while later, Mo Hui arrived in front of the Temple of the Sea God, because he knew that Poseidon, as the high priest of the Sea God Island, was probably located here.

Shortly before or after Mo Hui arrived at the Temple of the Sea God, Poseidon emerged from the temple with her scepter and asked Mo Hui, "Is there something you need?"

Mo Hui nodded and said, "I have a question about cultivation that I would like to ask Senior Poseidon."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of curiosity flashed in Poseidon's eyes. Given the talent that Mo Hui had displayed, she really found it hard to imagine that Mo Hui would have any questions for her.

Poseidon, intrigued, said, "Please speak freely; I will tell you everything I know." Mo Hui did not reply immediately but switched to his Magikarp spirit, pointed his right hand towards the sky, and a spiral-shaped water cannon shot out from his fingertip, heading towards the blue sky.

Then, Mo Hui asked Poseidon, "Senior Poseidon, as a level 99 Limit Douluo and the High Priest of Seagod Island, you should be the most powerful water-attribute soul master in the world. Do you think there's anything wrong with my ultimate move?"

When Poseidon saw the water cannon that Mo Hui fired, her pupils widened slightly, and she thought in shock, "Is it that fast? This is a 100,000-year-level soul skill, and it has been improved in such a short time."

After a moment, Poseidon suppressed her shock and said to Mo Hui, "Your soul skill is quite perfect. It can be ranked among the top three of all the soul skills I have ever seen."

In Poseidon's mind, excluding Mo Hui's self-created soul skills, the water cannon at this moment was definitely a perfect soul skill. Although it did not have all sorts of strange characteristics, it had powerful attack power and an attack range far exceeding the norm.

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Mo Hui's eyes. If even Poseidon, as the High Priest, couldn't figure out the problem, then he would have to investigate it himself.

"but……"

At this moment, Poseidon suddenly changed the subject and said, "You must not be satisfied with this, and want to further compress and condense the water cannon."

Mo Hui nodded in agreement.

Then, Poseidon said, "Although I can't directly help you complete this process, I do have some experience in this area that I can share with you, which should be helpful."

Immediately afterwards, Poseidon began to teach Mo Hui about her insights into water-attribute cultivation and ultimate techniques.

Although the level of Douluo Continent is very low, Poseidon, as a level 99 Limit Douluo and the High Priest of Seagod Island, is the person closest to a god on Douluo Continent. Her experience is indeed remarkable. Mo Hui listened with a gleam in his eyes and nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, Poseidon was also surprised by Mo Hui's rapid progress.

In Poseidon's view, Mo Hui was like a sponge, frantically absorbing the knowledge he imparted.

At the beginning, Poseidon had a relatively easy time dealing with Mo Hui. Although Mo Hui had many unique insights that she had never seen before, his basic knowledge of water attributes was still too weak compared to hers.

However, later on, after absorbing the basic knowledge, Mo Hui was not only able to apply what he learned to other situations, but the questions he asked also began to become increasingly tricky, requiring Poseidon to spend a lot of time thinking before he could answer them.

In the end, the situation evolved from one-sided instruction to a debate between Mo Hui and Poseidon.

In this atmosphere, a month passed in the blink of an eye.

"Now that you have surpassed me in your knowledge of water, there is nothing more I can teach you."

Poseidon stood up from the grass, rubbed his forehead wearily, and said.

Despite her exhaustion, Poseidon was very excited, not only because of Mo Hui's talent, but also because she had gained a lot from her interactions with him.

Poseidon even felt that if she could fully digest these gains, her strength would be more than 30 percent greater than it is now.
