Chapter 321 Breaking Through the Bottleneck
Time flies, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two days, Wu Heyi remained highly vigilant, carefully leading Rong silently toward their target.
He took each step with extreme caution, his footsteps so light they seemed weightless, trying not to make any noise that might attract attention.
Finally, like two shadows hidden in the darkness, they skillfully crossed the majestic border between the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
That border line seemed like an invisible barrier, dividing the spheres of influence of two powerful empires.
The moment they successfully crossed the gap, Wu Heyi breathed a slight sigh of relief, while Rong unconsciously clenched his little fists, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
After entering the territory of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Wu Heyi did not immediately rush back to the Heavenly Dou Academy with Molten Fire.
Although Wu Heyi himself had not yet completed his graduation procedures, he had other plans in mind.
He knew that for Rong, accumulating practical experience was far more important than returning to the academy as soon as possible.
Moreover, the priority of Tiandou Academy in his mind has been temporarily reduced due to Rong's growth needs.
Wu Heyi looked around, his sharp eyes quickly searching for targets in this unfamiliar land.
Soon, his gaze settled on a silver-horned sheep with a cultivation level of around four hundred years.
These spirit beasts are not uncommon in this area; they have unique appearances and habits.
The silver-horned sheep's fur is as white as snow, shimmering softly in the sunlight. Its pair of silver horns are particularly striking, like a meticulously crafted work of art, exuding a mysterious aura.
Silverhorn sheep have very distinctive characteristics.
Their meat is exceptionally delicious, making them a coveted ingredient for many high-end restaurants. It is said that eating them leaves one with an unforgettable aftertaste.
Moreover, they are relatively docile and generally will not attack humans unless threatened.
However, their most prominent feature is their incredibly fast speed.
When they run, they are like a white whirlwind, disappearing from people's sight in an instant.
It is precisely because the Silver Horned Sheep possess such amazing speed that they have an extremely strong ability to survive in this perilous Soul Beast Forest, and their survival rate is relatively high.
On the outskirts of the Soul Beast Forest, as long as you find a relatively vast, lush grassland, you are very likely to find a large group of such soul beasts.
They grazed leisurely in small groups on the grassland, occasionally raising their heads to warily observe their surroundings.
Looking at the flock of silver-horned sheep in front of him, Wu Heyi had a plan in mind.
He turned around and solemnly assigned Rong a task: "Rong, before nightfall today, you must find a way to hunt down a silver-horned sheep, no matter what method you use."
This is a rare opportunity for training; you should make the most of it.
Upon hearing the mission, Rong's eyes lit up instantly. He nodded vigorously, his youthful face filled with determination, as if he were proving to Wu Heyi that he could definitely complete the mission.
Upon receiving the order, Rong acted immediately without hesitation.
Like a brave little tiger, he charged towards the flock of silver-horned sheep.
However, for a child who is only six or seven years old, the difficulty of hunting silver horned sheep is unimaginable.
Those silver-horned sheep had a wealth of survival experience, and their keen senses allowed them to quickly detect the presence of the uninvited guest, Rong.
When the silver-horned sheep realized that the human child in front of them did not seem to pose any real threat, some of the rams immediately showed a strong sense of territory. They spontaneously formed a defensive formation and drove the ram away.
A rather large ram charged out first, its head lowered, its two silver horns pointing directly at Rong, bleating angrily as if warning Rong not to approach their territory.
For a time, Rong was extremely uncomfortable due to the attacks of these rams.
He dodged left and right, but could not break through the rams' defenses.
As dusk settled, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the land in golden light, turning the entire grassland into a golden hue.
Rong returned to Wu Heyi's side with a worried look on his face, head down, not daring to look Wu Heyi in the eye, and reported the battle situation with a hint of dejection in his voice:
"Master, I haven't caught a single one."
"Didn't catch a single one?" Wu Heyi's tone was slightly teasing, but more concerned about Rong's experience.
In fact, Wu Heyi had already anticipated that they wouldn't be able to catch the Silver Horned Sheep.
After all, Rong is still just a child and lacks sufficient combat experience and skills.
He just didn't expect that the reason Rong didn't even catch a lamb was because he was driven away by the ram, and that Rong couldn't even beat the ram.
When Wu Heyi heard the result, he couldn't help but feel speechless.
He frowned and immediately asked, "Did you take out your Martial Soul when you went hunting?"
This question struck Rong like a thunderbolt.
Upon hearing this shocking question, Rong's face instantly showed an embarrassed expression, and there was a brief silence for a few seconds.
After a long while, Rong lowered his head, poking his two index fingers together in front of his chest, looking quite aggrieved, and stammered as he answered:
"No, no, I forgot to summon my martial spirit in my nervousness!"
Wu Heyi shook his head helplessly. He never expected that Rong, as a Soul Master, would forget to use his Martial Soul in battle.
This is like a soldier going into battle but forgetting to bring his weapon; it's really unacceptable.
But since it had already happened, Wu Heyi didn't complain too much about Rong.
After all, the child in front of them was only six or seven years old, and no one had taught him any of the system's combat abilities.
Wu Heyi knew that Rong was like a blank sheet of paper and needed someone to patiently guide and teach him.
So that evening, Wu Heyi gave up his rest time and began to tutor Rong Ai in this area.
He found a quiet spot, lit a campfire, and then sat down next to Rong, patiently explaining to Rong how to use martial spirits and combat techniques.
He used vivid metaphors to make complex knowledge easier for Rong to understand.
He told Rong that the Martial Soul is the source of a Soul Master's power, like a sharp sword. Only by learning how to use it can one unleash its greatest power in battle.
Rong listened very attentively, his eyes fixed on Wu Heyi, nodding from time to time, as if trying to remember every word Wu Heyi said.
Under Wu Heyi's guidance, Rong gradually gained a deeper understanding of martial spirits and combat.
The next morning, as the sun rose above the horizon, golden sunlight bathed the grassland, draping the earth in a golden veil.
Rong got up early, his eyes filled with determination and confidence.
After a night of studying, he felt as if he were full of energy and was ready to challenge the silver-horned sheep flock again.
He took a deep breath and then charged towards the silver-horned sheep herd like an arrow released from a bow.
This time, he didn't rush in blindly like yesterday, but instead used the techniques that Wu Heyi had taught him.
He quietly circled around to the side of the sheep, looking for the best time to attack.
In less than two hours, he returned with three rams.
The three rams seemed to have lost their former power in his hands, and could only be manipulated by him.
Wu Heyi examined the wounds on the silver-horned sheep's body.
The first one was covered in wounds, as if it had been slashed hundreds of times with a watermelon knife.
The wounds crisscrossed the ram, and the blood stained its white fur, showing how much effort it had put into attacking the ram.
The wounds on the other two were much fewer, one of which was a lamb.
Looking at the wound, it was an instant kill, but there was clearly a burning sensation at the wound site.
This shows that Rong has learned to release soul power in battle to increase his chances of winning.
Originally, this kid Rong had no idea how to use the soul power within his body.
That is, when one has just awakened their martial soul, they have a slight understanding of how to release the soul power attribute within their martial soul.
Later on, without anyone to guide him, he had almost forgotten the technique of using soul power to activate his martial soul, and was completely clueless.
However, during this battle with the Silver Horned Sheep, Rong unexpectedly discovered that his cultivation bottleneck seemed to have been broken through.
At this point, his level 10 state was almost perfect. As long as he hunted a suitable spirit ring, he could directly become a true spirit master!
Thinking of this, Rong's face lit up with an excited smile. He knew that he was one step closer to becoming a powerful Soul Master.
