Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 94 Training
Being unable to summon a martial soul meant being unable to use soul skills, and being unable to use soul skills would definitely reduce a soul master's combat effectiveness by 80%. Even someone like Xu Yang would be weakened by at least 50%.

Xu Yang looked at Chen Xin in confusion, wanting an answer.

"Don't you want to learn the Seven Killing Sword Technique? I will use a secret technique to temporarily seal your martial soul. This is the first step for a non-Seven Killing Sword martial soul master to learn the Seven Killing Sword Technique. What you need to do next is to practice with me without using your martial soul."

After Chen Xin gave Xu Yang an explanation, he continued to walk forward. Xu Yang hurriedly followed. They were going to practice this time, so they did not choose any means of transportation, but chose to walk.

Even the soul guide that stored the objects was taken away. When he was thirsty, he had to find water to drink by himself. When he was hungry, he had to hunt and cook by himself. The purpose was to temper Xu Yang's will.

A few days ago, Xu Yang found this kind of life fresh and interesting, but as the novelty wore off, he began to feel unusually awkward and uncomfortable. In his two lives, whether living as a slave in his previous life or as an orphan in this one, he had never worried too much about life.

Although I don’t go hungry nine times out of three days now, I still often don’t have enough to eat.

As the sun set, Xu Yang suppressed his hunger and found Chen Xin holding a wooden stick on the grass. He summoned his Sun Holy Blade's external soul bone and rushed forward, swinging his sword to fight with Chen Xin.

This was Chen Xin teaching him the Seven Killing Sword Technique, but the method was not what he had imagined at the beginning, which was Chen Xin's demonstration. Instead, he learned directly through actual combat. Chen Xin used the wooden stick in his hand to guide him in learning.

Chen Xin showed no mercy when he attacked. Every time he struck Xu Yang with his stick, it would leave a purple mark on his body. After each practice, he would have a bruised face and nose, and there would not be a single piece of good flesh on his body.

Fortunately, Chen Xin only sealed his martial soul and did not seal his soul power. Those secret techniques he created can still be used, which can quickly restore his condition and maintain a certain speed of cultivation.

Now, he has gone from only being able to hold on for a dozen minutes at the beginning to half an hour now. Even if his arms can't exert any strength, he will try to hold on for as long as possible.

For Xu Yang, this should be the best learning opportunity. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the initial persistence is undoubtedly the most painful. Once you get used to this pain, you will have the motivation to persevere.

After seven days of using the healing secrets, he had adapted to this life. During the past seven days, he had traveled, hunted, and barbecued during the day, and at night he had practiced sparring with Chen Xin, learning the Seven Killing Sword Technique, and meditating and visualizing.

Although life was hard, Xu Yang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his handsome face was full of determination.

A month later, the two came to a plain. At this moment, Xu Yang's hair was messy, as if it had been bitten by a dog, but his eyes were shining like the sun in the sky, and he was obviously full of energy.

Chen Xin took out a map, took another look at the grassland ahead, and said with a smile: "We're here!"

"Where are you?!"

Xu Yang stared at the empty grassland ahead. Aside from a small valley in the distance, he couldn't see any life. He immediately looked at Chen Xin with a puzzled expression. "Your first training ground. According to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, there's a small group of wolf bandits in that distant valley, numbering around thirty. Your mission is to kill them all!" Chen Xin pointed to the valley in the distance and explained the purpose of their visit.

Xu Yang's face suddenly became serious and his brows furrowed.

Wolf Bandits are not to be trifled with. A fusion of Wind Wolf and human, they possess not only the physique, speed, and wind control abilities of Wind Wolf, but also the intelligence of humans. Each Wolf Bandit possesses the strength of a human Great Soul Master or Soul Venerable, and are inherently bloodthirsty, fighting to the death, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

But now he is just a Soul Master, and his martial soul is sealed. It is difficult for him to kill all thirty wolf bandits at the same time.

Moreover, there must be a Wolf King among these thirty wolf thieves, and his strength is definitely above that of a Soul Master, which makes it even more impossible.

Glancing at Chen Xin, who still looked indifferent, Xu Yang took a deep breath and his eyes became firm: "I understand!"

After saying this, he ran towards the distant valley without hesitation.

Watching Xu Yang's back, Chen Xin's figure gradually rose into the air, his expression somewhat complicated as he murmured, "Brat, if you want to learn my Seven Killing Sword Technique, how can you avoid experiencing slaughter?! These wolf bandits are bloodthirsty by nature, and they fight to the death. They are the most suitable opponents for you to train with. Not only can you learn the Seven Killing Sword Technique, but it can also change your awkward mentality. You will no longer be so cautious and hesitant before every battle."

There is nothing wrong with being cautious, but being too cautious is wrong. This subconscious thought is the reason why Xu Yang cannot exert his full strength. In Chen Xin's eyes, as long as he can exert his full strength, a mere thirty wolf thieves will not be a big problem for Xu Yang, even if Xu Yang is just a Soul Master.

Xu Yang ran very fast, but when he was not far from the valley, he slowed down, lowered his pace, controlled his soul power completely within his body, and sneaked past quietly.

Facing thirty wolf bandits who were equivalent to great soul masters or even soul masters, it would be idiotic to confront them head-on. What he had to do was to eliminate as many wolf bandit soldiers as possible, even the wolf king, without alerting the wolf bandit group.

When approaching the valley, Xu Yang saw four wolf bandits patrolling at the entrance of the valley. There were also two wolf bandits guarding the hillsides on each side. This formed a horn-like posture, and the entrance to the valley was clearly visible. It would be difficult for anyone who approached to remain undiscovered. This shows that the intelligence of this group of wolf bandits is no less than that of humans.

"It's impossible to sneak into the valley from the front. These wolf bandits will notice if we make even the slightest move."

Looking at the sentry pattern of the wolf bandits, Xu Yang frowned and kept scanning around the valley, trying to find a way to kill these wolf bandit sentries without being discovered.

"Although these wolf bandits are clever, they are still wild beasts after all. They haven't learned any systematic methods of deploying troops. I still found a flaw. It's in the northeast corner of the left mountainside."

Xu Yang soon found a flaw, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. In the northeast corner of the left mountainside, although the mountain was steep, it was still very easy for a soul master to climb a hundred-meter-high mountainside. As long as he climbed up from there, he could get rid of the wolf bandits standing guard on the left mountainside, silently enter the valley, and find an opportunity to assassinate the Wolf King.
