Chapter 232 Asking for help
Or it can be said that Zhongli Wu’s final sneak attack was his own “intention”.
When one’s cultivation reaches the level of Titled Douluo, the improvement in strength is not just an improvement in the level of soul power. Only by comprehending one’s own “intention” can one go further.
This kind of comprehension is closely related to the soul master's martial soul, experience, and his own will. As an Ultimate Douluo, it is not an exaggeration to say that Moon is the best in the contemporary world, so his "will" is to dominate the world.
Because of his own experience, Huo Yuhao's original mind was all on the academy and Wang Donger. Therefore, after Wang Donger left him, he also realized his own "intention". Although the names of his moves are a bit straightforward, the power of his moves cannot be denied.
Zhongli Wu was no exception. He was able to appear behind his opponent silently, partly because he relied on the power of his martial spirit, and partly because the "intention" he had comprehended was not meant to be publicized. Hiding himself and waiting for an opportunity to strike was his method.
Wang Nan closed his eyes tightly, and carefully recalled Zhongli Wu's sneak attack. Although their martial spirits were different, the methods of using their strength were the same. He couldn't sneak attack like Zhongli Wu, but the method of restraining his strength and looking for opportunities to explode was similar to his own moves.
The Unyielding Stick Technique that Wang Nan has mastered now actually originated from the Panlong Stick Technique that he first mastered. The first four moves correspond to chopping, lifting, collapsing and sweeping, and from Zhongli Wu's attack, he saw the shadow of "dot".
In stick techniques, "point" is different from other techniques, which are open and closed. It is a means of attack that concentrates the force on one point. Similarly, this means of using force can also be used in other places.
After calming down his mind, the figure of Tianye Fushenglong emerged and hovered beside Wang Nan, digesting this hard-earned insight with him.
The Unyielding Stick Method is the expression of Wang Nan's "intention". Based on the "breaking" attribute of the Panlong Stick and the "unyielding" of the Dragon Soul, each move is a challenge to the rules of heaven and earth.
It just so happens that Wang Nan's soul came from another world and had memories of his past life, which allowed him to always look at the world from a "overlooking" perspective.
Perhaps there will never be anyone on Douluo Continent who is as compatible with the Panlong Staff Martial Soul as Wang Nan. Everyone has awe for the world, even the soul masters with high cultivation are no exception when talking about higher levels.
Only Wang Nan, from the very beginning, he stood at a completely different perspective.
The soul power surged, the dragon soul roared, and in Wang Nan's mind, the Unyielding Stick Technique was performed over and over again, and the breakthrough in his cultivation was natural.
Wang Nan's breakthrough was silent, and even as he continued to deduce the fifth move of the Unyielding Stick Technique in his mind, his aura became more restrained.
……
Outside Tiandou City, the army of the Sun and Moon Empire was stationed here. The city walls were filled with soul guide cannons, and many soul guide detection devices were placed at the city gate to detect the soul power fluctuations of passers-by. Everyone entering and leaving was subject to strict inspection.
Outside the city, a group of people were looking at Tiandou City from afar. The woman in the lead took off her hood to reveal a pretty face, allowing them to see it more clearly.
"Your Highness, this place is too close to Tiandou City. I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the Sun and Moon Empire. Let's leave here as soon as possible."
The woman was none other than Princess Vina of the Tianhun Empire. Her pretty face showed even more sadness after hearing that. She grew up here since she was a child, and now she has to be sneaky even when she looks at it from a distance.
But as a princess, she naturally knew the importance of this matter. She looked at Tiandou City reluctantly, then slowly sighed, "Let's go. We are already here, we should be there soon."
"Yes." The person behind Vina responded, and the group set off again.
Not long after, a huge mountain appeared in the distance in their sight.
This mountain is extremely steep. Looking around, you can see that almost three sides of the mountain are vertically erected, as if cut by a knife, and only one side is relatively flat.
The surrounding mountains were rolling and the sea of clouds was floating slowly between the mountains. Although most of the territory of the Tianhun Empire was occupied by the Sun-Moon Empire, there was still no trace of the Sun-Moon Empire's army in such a remote place.
Vina and the people behind her no longer hid their identities and took off their hoods. In addition to Vina, several of them were experts from the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire, and one of them was Long Aotian, who had met Wang Nan once.
As they continued to move forward, the sea of clouds was already under their feet, with mist floating around, and it was a beautiful sight wherever they looked.
But Vina didn’t have much intention of stopping to appreciate the scenery. She sighed again, forced her face to make her expression less ugly, and then continued walking forward.
"The Haotian Castle is ahead, please stay." A young man in gray suddenly jumped out from the clouds.
Vina took a step forward and bowed slightly, "We are from the royal family of the Tianhun Empire. Please inform us."
"Please wait a moment." The young man in gray replied indifferently.
Vina was a princess, but she had never taken the initiative to greet an ordinary person. When she saw the attitude of this young man, Long Aotian behind her looked a little unfriendly.
Vina gently shook Long Aotian's hand, signaling him to be patient, and then looked at the young man in gray again, "Thank you for your trouble."
The young man in gray then nodded and left.
It was not until a long while later that the young man appeared in front of Vina and her group again, "Everyone, follow me."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked up the mountain.
Vina and the others looked at each other and followed.
After twisting and turning in the clouds for an unknown amount of time, a towering castle finally emerged from the clouds, with the words "Haotian Castle" engraved on the city gate.
A tall, middle-aged man was already standing in front of the castle, with an invisible aura emanating from him.
"What are you doing here in Haotian Castle?" A deep voice was heard, making a buzzing sound in everyone's ears.
Vina calmed herself down and took a step forward. "We are here to ask for help. Tiandou City has been destroyed by the Sun Moon Empire, and the Tianhun Empire is about to be destroyed. We would like to ask the Haotian Sect to come out and fight against the Sun Moon Empire together."
"You guys go back." After hearing what Vina said, the middle-aged strong man just replied indifferently, without any sadness or joy in his tone, "Haotian Sect has already gone into seclusion and will never interfere in human affairs."
"Without an empire, there is no point in talking about a sect. After the Sun Moon Empire destroyed the Heavenly Soul, the Haotian Sect could not escape the disaster either..."
"You are not to worry about this matter. Our Haotian Sect has its own way of dealing with the world."
"Doesn't the Haotian Sect care about our past friendship? Ten thousand years ago, my Xue family's ancestor also worshipped the disciples of the Haotian Sect as his master. Now that our descendants are in trouble, I hope that the Haotian Sect can help."
