Chapter 20: Yan's Training Path
Chapter 20: Yan's Training Path (Part )
This means Yan can do more creative things.
By training the control over fire and earth energies separately, and then blending together enhanced magma energy with higher temperature, higher hardness, or more explosiveness, etc., the effects of soul skills can be changed through the changed nature of soul power, bringing different tactical options.
By compressing the shape of the flame, gathering the flame into a cluster to bring about a faster explosion speed, or freely changing the shape and area of the magma, a similar effect of automatic defense can be achieved.
Youchen calls these two directions of practice the practice of "change of nature" and "change of form" respectively.
Combining these two, after practicing to an extremely deep level, one can even create one's own soul skills at will!
It can be said that the Fire Lord has a unique advantage in his self-created soul skills!
According to the information You Chen obtained from the original work, as well as the records of the Super Douluo in the Spirit Hall, after reaching the Super Douluo level, the level of understanding and control over the original power of the spirit is the standard for distinguishing the truly strong, as well as the conditions for going further.
You Chen asked Yan to delve deeply into this aspect, which is equivalent to paving the way forward in advance. If this foundation is laid firmly, he can really be promoted to Titled Douluo in the future. Compared with other soul masters, he will have a smooth journey.
But let’s talk about the future later. You Chen thought that knowing such distant things in advance would easily make his disciples too ambitious.
Now he let Yan focus on this aspect, just to make up for Yan's shortcomings in speed as much as possible.
In order to make up for the lack of speed by controlling the dual elemental power of fire and earth, the first thing You Chen thought of was "Gundam's jet pack".
However, since this is a fantasy world, the name of the jet pack is somewhat meaningless, so You Chen named it - Thermal Thruster.
Through high-precision control of the fire rock, a controllable booster is formed behind.
With the help of this thermal thruster, Yan can obtain the flying ability that only Titled Douluo and a very small number of flying soul masters have at a lower soul master level.
Of course, flying, hovering in the air, and continuously erupting flames require a lot of soul power, so this can only be used as a killer move.
The most common use of thermal thrusters is sudden acceleration, deceleration, and instantaneous change of direction during combat.
This speed completely goes against normal people's intuition and is even more difficult to drive than the normal highway.
And when Yan's strength is further improved and his soul power is sufficient, he will be able to become a super-high-speed flying turret.
"Mobile flying turret" is the final form that You Chen planned for Yan.
To achieve this goal, You Chen gave Yan two or three soul skills to choose from, which, in the eyes of outsiders, were the types that were extremely misleading.
Even if one chooses the most suitable soul ring for a soul beast, not everyone can rely on their own will to create soul skills completely according to their own ideas.
The process by which a soul master uses his own thoughts to influence the production of soul skills is also called "self-created soul ring" or "self-created soul skills."
The most important point about a self-made soul ring is that your mental strength must be far superior to that of ordinary people.
Without superior mental strength, one would not even have time to focus on other things when absorbing soul rings, let alone clear thinking. It would be impossible to influence the generation of soul skills with one's own thoughts.
The older the soul ring, the more difficult it is to maintain clear thinking when absorbing it.
After ten thousand years, there is even the mental shock left by the soul beasts, which makes the difficulty even higher.
This also shows the rarity of the adaptive spirit ring that Youchen obtained from the system. Not only is the energy pure, the age is adaptive, but there is no additional mental shock. If not for this, he might not be able to perfectly construct the "Sacrificial Sanctuary".
In order to allow Yan to perform his own soul skills at the second ring, You Chen specifically asked Yan to stay at the bottleneck of level 20 for a while longer to refine his spiritual secret technique "Distraction Soul Refining Technique" to improve his mental strength.
Although it is still possible to improve spiritual power through meditation when the soul power is at a bottleneck, the efficiency is naturally not as fast as when it is at a higher level. I don’t know if it was Bibi Dong’s arrangement, or the teachers and students around him all thought the same, but during that period, there was no lack of rumors that "Youchen misled the students".
After You Chen wasted Yan's precious training time and chose a soul ring that gave birth to a soul skill that was obviously completely incompatible with Yan's "strong attack system", You Chen's reputation plummeted in a short period of time, and the entire Wuhun Hall Academy was filled with ridicule calling him a "mediocre teacher".
It also laid the groundwork for You Chen to be marginalized in the Spirit Hall Academy.
And that "useless soul skill" is called "Lava Barrier".
Although it was a thousand-year soul skill, its effect was very simple. It was to use soul power to instantly construct a huge wall that could resist damage. That was all.
In Douluo Continent, every soul master has to assign himself to a different world with a specific system, which is simply the opposite of Tiangang.
If you are a defensive spirit master, there is nothing wrong with obtaining such a spirit skill.
But if you are a strong attack spirit master, and your spirit skills are not to enhance attack or output a big move, then they are garbage spirit skills.
When disciple Yan heard everyone's condemnation of his mentor, he wanted to "tell the truth", that is, to tell everyone You Chen's plan for Yan's future path.
But this was naturally stopped by You Chen.
This is not only because You Chen does not want his training method to be leaked, but also because You Chen deeply understands that even if he explains it, most people will not understand and will continue to criticize him.
The stigma of You Chen "misleading young people" was only cleared after Yan was promoted to Soul Master and was invincible during his training in the Soul Fighting Arena.
Regardless of the second or third soul skill, You Chen's idea is very simple, to enhance Yan's ability to use soul power to construct and shape things.
It is extremely difficult to practice "nature change" or "form change" from nothing to something.
You have to know that soul power is not as omnipotent as chakra, and it is not as easy to control.
This is true even if the Fire Lord is born with a talent for enhanced control.
There are indeed some training manuals with similar directions in the Spirit Hall's collection, but it would take several years to master each one, which is one of the reasons why original spirit skills are rare in this world.
Compared to learning independently from scratch, imitating the already formed soul skills in the soul ring is obviously a better choice.
After Yan completely transformed the "lava barrier" into his own and could use it even without activating the spirit ring, his practice of "form change" naturally began smoothly.
Anyway, once the rank goes up, with the Fire Lord's natural ability to adapt to and create his own soul skills, it will be easy to create soul skills that last for hundreds or thousands of years in the future.
Therefore, it’s no big deal to just give up the first few soul skills.
The third soul skill is still a soul skill related to form change, and its name is "Flame Prison Cage". The effect is to form a cage similar to the Lava Demon Cage to block the enemy. It is an extremely powerful control and blockade skill. The complexity of the cage it forms is significantly improved compared to the shield of the second soul skill.
With two or three soul skills as the best teachers for his practice, Yan finally started smoothly on the road of creating his own soul skills.
After Yan had made some progress in practicing his self-created soul skill, he asked You Chen to give his self-created soul skill a name, to express his gratitude for his teacher's guidance.
You Chen had no objection and named the series - The Modeling Magic of Yan!
