Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 52 Sword Intent? Wu Changkong's Advanced Tutorial!
"A ten-thousand-year-old soul ring?"

Wu Changkong's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked at the three jet-black soul rings floating around Jiang Yi, and his heart trembled.

He had expected Jiang Yi to improve significantly, but he never imagined that his soul would have already reached the level of ten thousand years.

Even he himself only has two ten-thousand-year soul rings, one less than Jiang Yi.

hum-

The Heavenly Frost Sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, and countless azure ice threads condensed from Wu Changkong's body, wrapping him up layer by layer like silkworm cocoons.

A chilling aura flowed through the ice silk, making even the surrounding air seem to freeze.

However, as Jiang Yi's halberd slashed down, its blade wreathed in a tangible purple light, the incredibly tough azure ice silk was easily sliced ​​apart like tofu wherever it passed.

The halberd's momentum remained undiminished, heading straight for Wu Changkong's face!

"Teacher Wu, be careful."

Jiang Yi smiled and reminded him, his voice revealing a hint of confidence.

After his soul ring advanced to the ten-thousand-year level, it brought him not only a surge in his total soul power, but also a fundamental transformation in his soul skills.

The third soul skill, Demon God's Descent, can now be used separately from the Demon God's Domain and the true damage effect that ignores defense, greatly reducing soul power consumption.

However, without the support of the Demon God Domain, the true damage effect is limited to the Fangtian Halberd itself and cannot be used for attacks outside the body, but it is still a god-tier skill in close combat.

"That soul skill?"

Wu Changkong frowned slightly. He had personally tested Jiang Yi's third soul skill, and even his battle armor couldn't withstand a hit from it.

Now, clearly after more than ten thousand years, things have changed.

Facing the halberd shrouded in purple aura, Wu Changkong dared not be careless. His eyes flashed with purple light, and he charged straight at it with his Heavenly Frost Sword.

Faced with the Fangtian Halberd that ignored all defenses, Wu Changkong dared not meet it head-on.

Keng!
The halberd and sword clashed, but no violent collision sound was produced.

With a deft twist of her wrist, Wu Changkong positioned the Heavenly Frost Sword against the side of the Fangtian Halberd, and a clever force traveled along the blade, deflecting the halberd's trajectory.

Control the crane and capture the dragon!

This unique skill of the Tang Clan was actually incorporated into Wu Changkong's swordsmanship, and the exquisite method of channeling energy made Jiang Yi secretly admire it.

Although the Tang Clan's unique skills have been passed down for tens of thousands of years, they may seem to be the same few things, but in fact they have long been innovated and evolved into countless subtle changes.

"However, my mission is complete."

Jiang Yi smiled slightly. He only needed to put enough pressure on Wu Changkong from the front to create opportunities for his companions.

This is not a one-on-one fight between the two!
boom!
Just as Wu Changkong was parrying the Fangtian Halberd with all his might, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed to his left, and a dragon claw covered with golden scales tore through the air, aiming straight for Wu Changkong's waist.

Wu Changkong's eyes narrowed, and his fifth soul ring suddenly shone brightly, instantly forming a huge frost sword that barely blocked the dragon's claw.

However, the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded—

Under the slap of the golden dragon claw, the Frost Greatsword shattered instantly into a shower of ice powder!

Tang Wuling blinked her bright eyes and continued to control the golden dragon claw to strike Wu Changkong.

Dance teacher!

You were unlucky; you just happened to trigger the Golden Dragon Claw's crushing effect.

The moment the Frost Greatsword was shattered, Wu Changkong was also shocked. He swiftly reached out with his left hand and used the Crane Control and Dragon Capture Technique to grab Tang Wuling's wrist, diverting the force of the dragon claw to the side.

But one wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen.

Some unseen creature silently conjured two ice blades, which shot towards his lower body at an extremely tricky angle.

This insidious attack caused even Wu Changkong's handsome face to darken.

What would happen if that got me hit?!
boom!boom!
With his hands already engaged in battle with Jiang Yi and Tang Wuling, Wu Changkong had no choice but to kick out, precisely shattering the two ice blades.

But at that very moment, Gu Yue's figure appeared behind him like a ghost.

The girl clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and countless wind elements frantically converged towards her palms, compressing into a violently spinning vortex of wind.

At the center of the vortex lies extremely compressed dual-elemental energy of ice and fire, emitting a heart-stopping fluctuation.

Gu Yue pushed the vortex of destruction in her hand toward Wu Changkong's back. The triple elemental energy, compressed to its limit, suddenly erupted, transforming into a destructive storm.

A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Wu Changkong's heart, and he could no longer hold back his strength.

Om-!
A clear, resonant sword cry echoed across the training ground. A bone-chilling coldness erupted from Wu Changkong's body, and an incomparably sharp sword intent soared into the sky, transforming into a tangible wave of energy that blasted all four of them back.

Jiang Yi lightly touched the ground with his toes, skillfully dissipating the impact.

He looked at Wu Changkong in surprise, feeling the sharp aura that remained strong and unyielding. Just a moment ago, when the sword intent erupted, he felt as if his whole body was being pointed at by a sharp blade, and he felt waves of stinging pain.

Is this the essence of swordsmanship?

Jiang Yi thought to himself.

"very good!"

Wu Changkong's fierce aura gradually subsided, and a rare smile appeared on his cold face as he looked at the five young men and women in front of him.

In the previous exchange, the five players' teamwork was exquisite, with each player making the most of their strengths.

"Was that ice chain your soul skill?"

Wu Changkong turned his gaze to Xu Xiaoyan in the distance, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Not only because of the abnormal control effect of that soul skill, but also because... the ice blade that struck at the head was done by Xu Xiaoyan.

This seemingly harmless Xu Xiaoyan is clearly not so innocent.

"Yes! Teacher, my Starlight Ice Chains are absolutely guaranteed to work; they can at least control the opponent for one second!"

Xu Xiaoyan answered with a smile, her big eyes curving into crescents, making it impossible to tell that the insidious sneak attack was carried out by this cute and sweet girl.

"A very good soul skill. From now on, you will be a member of Class Zero. I hope you will not slack off."

Wu Changkong nodded to Xu Xiaoyan, acknowledging her strength.

"yeah!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan immediately jumped up and excitedly hugged Gu Yue beside her.

"..."

Gu Yue instinctively wanted to push away this overly enthusiastic new companion, but seeing the pure joy on the girl's face, she slowly lowered her hand.

"Welcome to Class Zero."

Finally, Gu Yue reached out and gently hugged Xu Xiaoyan back, patting her back tenderly.

"Yes! Thank you, Sister Gu Yue!"

Xu Xiaoyan was completely unaware of Gu Yue's hesitation and was still immersed in her joy.

Then, she excitedly high-fived Jiang Yi and the others one by one, like a little sprite leaping among the flowers, full of vitality.

What a bunch of little monsters...

Looking at this group of energetic young men and women, Wu Changkong sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat powerless.

Absolute control! Ignore defenses! Unparalleled superhuman strength! Abnormal multi-elemental control!
Six hundred and sixty-six!
Are you guys not even going to act anymore...?

Wu Changkong felt that even if these kids went to Shrek Academy, they would still be monsters among monsters, because their abilities were too abnormal.

"Very good! Let's continue tomorrow. I will not hold back!"

Wu Changkong suppressed his emotions, his face remaining calm, maintaining the dignity of a teacher.

After saying this, he turned around and drifted away.

Jiang Yi blinked as he watched Wu Changkong's departing figure, then quickly followed after him.

"teacher!"

Jiang Yi followed Wu Changkong out of the training ground.

"Is something wrong?"

Wu Changkong paused, signaling Jiang Yi to follow.

"Teacher Wu, what exactly was that sword technique you just used?"

Jiang Yi cut to the chase and asked.

Jiang Yi felt he had already mastered the skills of using a halberd, but he was completely clueless about how to take it a step further.

Having witnessed Wu Changkong's unparalleled Heavenly Frost Sword Intent today, a new idea immediately sprouted in his mind.

Since a sword has its own sword intent, does a halberd also have its own halberd intent?
"You mean sword intent?"

Wu Changkong glanced at Jiang Yi and, seeing his eager-to-learn appearance, nodded slightly, a hint of approval appearing on his usually stern face.

"You want to learn?"
