Chapter 340: The gathering of geniuses and the secret of the Clear Sky Hammer

The terrifying pressure forced Lu Yu to keep resisting. The pressure was so huge that he was overwhelmed.

Even the runes in the entire training room were glowing, trying to dissipate the power exerted by the blade.

Lu Yu was surprised. He never expected that Dao Feng's strength was so powerful and put him under such great pressure.

"It seems that my training of martial soul is still not enough. Even though I have powerful killing moves such as the Eight Wonders, if I use them, there is no way to show my current shortcomings. Tiandu Royal Academy has been able to stand for so long, even someone has become a god and has been suppressed greatly, but it can still reappear. It is indeed not to be underestimated."

Thinking of this, Lu Yu focused more on blocking the sword lights.

These knife lights were real and fake, and he found it difficult to determine which one was real and which one was fake.

Even if it is fake, the fluctuation of soul power will still cause him to misjudge or interfere with him, which makes it difficult for him to fight against.

Lu Yu swung the sword in his hand so many times that his spiritual power was almost exhausted and he was gradually defeated.

But the sword light seemed inexhaustible.

Peng!

As the knife light disappeared, Lu Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are many powerful Title Douluo in the academy who have such strength, otherwise they would not have entered Tiandu Royal Academy. Lu Yu, don't be arrogant because of your talent. Keep an enterprising spirit!"

Blade spoke with a smile, his breathing very smooth.

He has practiced this move to perfection. If he were to unleash his full strength, there would be few rivals among his peers.

"Thank you for the guidance of Master Dao Wuhun." Lu Yu's voice was filled with respect. "I will continue to work hard and will not let you down."

The sword spirit looked at Lu Yu, with admiration gleaming in his eyes.

The aftermath of the battle dissipated, and Lu Yu stood in the center of the training room, breathing slightly rapid.

The wise guy walked closer slowly, with a look of scrutiny and approval in his eyes.

"Lu Yu, your performance today is truly eye-opening." Zhi Duoxing's words were calm, without any excessive exaggeration.

Lu Yu smiled slightly and responded modestly: "Thank you for the compliment, Master Zhi Duo Xing. I know I still have a lot to learn."

"Well, you have this self-awareness, which is good." Zhi Duo Xing nodded, "The Xingdou Continent is vast and there are many geniuses. Although you have demonstrated your impressive strength, you must not be arrogant. The growth environment and resources of those geniuses from powerful families are often incomparable to you."

Hearing this, Lu Yu's eyes flashed with curiosity: "Master Zhi Duoxing, how strong are those geniuses from noble families that you mentioned?"

"Very strong." Zhi Duo Xing answered concisely and clearly, "Some of them can even reach the level of Soul Emperor and Soul Saint at your age. Moreover, the quality of their martial souls and the power of their soul skills are far beyond the reach of ordinary soul masters."

Lu Yu was shocked, but he did not show exaggerated surprise. He pondered for a moment and asked, "What about the Clear Sky Hammer? I heard it is one of the top martial spirits on the continent. I wonder how it compares to those geniuses from aristocratic families?"

Zhi Duo Xing smiled slightly, with wisdom shining in his eyes: "Clear Sky Hammer is indeed a top-level martial spirit. Its power is enough to shake the heaven and earth, and it is even related to gods in some ancient legends. However, the strength of a martial spirit does not only depend on its quality, but also on how the spirit master uses it. Although the martial spirits of those geniuses from aristocratic families may not be as good as the Clear Sky Hammer, their spirit skills, combat experience, and family support behind them are all forces that cannot be ignored."

Lu Yu nodded, showing his understanding. He knew that martial spirit was just the starting point, and to be truly powerful, one still needed to rely on one's own efforts and wisdom.

"Teacher Zhi Duoxing, how do you think I should improve myself so that I can compete with those geniuses from aristocratic families?" Lu Yu asked sincerely.

Zhi Duo Xing glanced at Lu Yu, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "You are very smart and you know how to ask the right questions. To improve yourself, you must first identify your strengths and weaknesses. Your swordsmanship is already quite good, but you can still improve it. At the same time, there is room for improvement in your soul power and martial soul quality. Next, we will provide special training and guidance for these aspects of yours."

As he spoke, Zhi Duo Xing looked at Dao Feng and Chaos Heavenly King: "Dao Feng, your swordsmanship is the most powerful, so you will be the one to guide Lu Yu in his swordsmanship training. Chaos Heavenly King, you have rich combat experience, so you can be responsible for improving Lu Yu's combat awareness and adaptability. And I will be responsible for Lu Yu's martial soul training and soul power improvement."

Upon hearing this, Blade and King of Chaos both nodded in agreement.

In the following days, under the careful guidance of the three instructors, Lu Yu began to practice more systematically and deeply. Daofeng would practice with Lu Yu every day. His sword skills were sharp and precise. Every time he swung his sword, it seemed as if he was going to cut the air in half. Under Daofeng's guidance, Lu Yu's sword skills gradually became more sharp and swift.

Zhi Duoxing was responsible for guiding Lu Yu's martial soul training and soul power improvement. He formulated a detailed training plan based on Lu Yu's actual situation and personally supervised its implementation. Under Zhi Duoxing's guidance, Lu Yu's martial soul gradually became more solid and powerful, and his soul power also steadily improved.

The King of Chaos is responsible for improving Lu Yu's combat awareness and adaptability. He simulates various combat scenarios and opponents to allow Lu Yu to exercise his reaction speed and combat wisdom in actual combat. Under the guidance of the King of Chaos, Lu Yu's combat awareness gradually becomes more acute and decisive.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye. Under the careful teaching of the three mentors, Lu Yu's strength has made a qualitative leap. His swordsmanship has reached the extreme required by the blade, and every time he swings the sword, he can burst out amazing power. And his martial soul and soul power have also reached a new height under the guidance of Zhi Duo Xing and Chaos King.

On this day, in the training room, Lu Yu and Dao Feng practiced against each other again.

Lu Yu's figure was as fast as lightning, and his sword was as bright as a dragon. Every swing of the sword was precise and swift. Dao Feng was not to be outdone, and his sword skills were equally sharp. The confrontation between the two was like Mars hitting the Earth, with sparks flying everywhere.

"Lu Yu, you have made great progress indeed." Blade's voice was full of praise, "But if you want to be truly invincible, you still need to learn how to catch your opponent's weakness in battle and launch a fatal blow at the right time." As he spoke, Blade suddenly accelerated his attack, and the blade light was like a weaving, impenetrable. Seeing this, Lu Yu's eyes condensed, and his figure instantly became erratic, like a ghost. He cleverly dodged Blade's attack, while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Blade's sword technique was sharp and swift, and every strike seemed to tear the air apart. Lu Yu, with his keen combat awareness, dodged Blade's attacks again and again, while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

Finally, in a confrontation, Lu Yu caught Blade's weakness. He swung his knife fiercely, and the knife light was like lightning, instantly penetrating Blade's defense and going straight to his vital point. Blade saw this, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then turned into admiration. He quickly dodged and counterattacked at the same time, and the battle between the two entered a white-hot stage again.

Blade's swordsmanship became more and more fierce, and he kept changing the angle and strength of his attack, trying to break Lu Yu's defense. However, Lu Yu, with his keen combat awareness and flexible body movements, dodged Blade's attacks again and again, and looked for opportunities to counterattack.

During a fierce battle, Lu Yu suddenly discovered a tiny flaw in Blade. He suddenly jumped up, and the knife flashed like a rainbow, instantly slashing at Blade's head. Blade saw this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then quickly dodged. However, Lu Yu's knife skills have been practiced to perfection, and the knife light follows Blade closely.

Finally, in a fierce collision, Lu Yu's sword light successfully hit the blade's protective soul power, making a deafening roar. The blade was shaken back again and again, while Lu Yu stood firmly in place, with the sword light still flashing.

"Good! Lu Yu, you have made great progress!" There was a hint of relief and appreciation in Daofeng's voice.

"Your strength is already among the best in your level. With your current strength, if you only use your sword as your natural martial spirit, you will have almost no rivals within level 60 if you are careful!"

Blade said with a smile.

“The mentors have done a great job!”

Lu Yu spoke seriously.

During this period of time, he had indeed witnessed Blade's strength.

He also learned something about Blade, which made him admire him a little.

In the training room, the lights were dim, illuminating two resolute figures. Lu Yu and Dao Feng stood side by side, and the atmosphere seemed a little solemn. Lu Yu's eyes flashed with curiosity and awe, while Dao Feng had a calm expression, as if he was immersed in past memories.

"Teacher Blade, in that friendly match that you once mentioned, are the opponents really the geniuses from those top families?" Lu Yu broke the silence, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in his voice.

Blade smiled slightly, his eyes became deep: "Yes, it's them. That game was both a heavy blow and a precious awakening for me."

He slowly turned around, his eyes penetrating the wall of the training room, as if he had returned to that era full of challenges and glory: "I have been a genius since I was young, with innate full soul power and a sword spirit. Although such conditions are not rare in the Star Dou Continent, they are enough to make me stand out among many soul masters. With my own talent and hard work, I walked step by step to the Tiandou Royal Academy and became a leader among my peers."

"At that time, I was almost invincible among my peers, and I thought I was at the top of the continent." Blade's mouth curled up with a self-deprecating smile, "However, that friendly match made me wake up completely."

"Who is the opponent?" Lu Yu asked, his eyes flashing with curiosity about the unknown.

"A genius from a top family, his martial spirit is a hammer, with incredible power." Blade's voice became deeper, "You may have heard of his name - Tang Hao."

"Tang Hao?" Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Is it the Tang Hao who later defected from the sect and was hailed as Haotian Douluo?"

"Yes, it was him." Blade nodded, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "In that match, I tried my best, but I still couldn't resist his attack. His hammer seemed to have a thousand pounds of force, and every swing made me feel suffocated. I was eventually defeated by him, and I was defeated without any chance to fight back."

"Can you tell me about that battle in detail?" Lu Yu asked, his eyes flashing with desire for battle and awe of the strong.

Blade was silent for a moment, as if recalling the fierce battle. Then, he spoke slowly, with a tremor in his voice: "That day, the sun was shining brightly, and we stood on the ring, surrounded by the cheers of the audience. I held the long sword in my hand, and I was full of confidence. However, when Tang Hao walked onto the ring and I saw the look in his eyes, I knew that this would be a difficult battle."

"There was a kind of determination and coldness in his eyes, as if nothing could stop him." Blade continued, "As soon as the battle started, I felt his strong pressure. His hammer seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and every swing drove the surrounding airflow. I tried my best to resist, but still couldn't completely avoid his attack."

"The fight I remember most clearly was when I tried to break his hammer with my sword skills. I swung my sword at his hammer, but at the moment the sword and hammer touched, I felt a strong recoil. My sword seemed to be bounced away by an invisible force, while Tang Hao's hammer continued to move forward, directly towards my chest."

"It was then that I realized that his hammer was not only heavy, but also contained an indescribable power. That power seemed to be able to penetrate all defenses and hit my heart directly." Blade's voice was trembling. "I tried my best to dodge, but still couldn't completely avoid his attack. In the end, I was hit by his hammer and flew out and fell on the ring."

"I lost miserably in that battle." Blade took a deep breath and continued, "But I also learned a lot from it. I understood my own shortcomings and also understood the strength of those top family geniuses. Since then, I have worked harder to practice and continuously improve my strength."

Lu Yu was silent for a moment, digesting Daofeng's words. He could feel the unwillingness and helplessness in Daofeng's tone when he mentioned the battle. But at the same time, he could also see a kind of unyielding and tenacity in Daofeng's eyes.

"Then what did you do later?" Lu Yu asked curiously.

"I later worked harder to practice and constantly improve my strength." Daofeng's eyes became firm. "I knew that if I wanted to compete with the geniuses from the top families, I had to work harder than them. I began to study various sword techniques, learn combat skills, and constantly improve my soul power and martial soul quality."

"So what do you think I should do now?" Lu Yu asked sincerely, his eyes flashing with desire for the future.

"You've done very well now, but if you want to be truly invincible, you need to have a deeper understanding of your martial soul and soul skills." Daofeng looked at Lu Yu with admiration in his eyes. "At the same time, you must also learn how to capture the opponent's flaws in battle and launch a fatal blow at the right time. Just like my battle with Tang Hao back then, although I lost in the end, I also learned a lot of valuable experience from it."
