Chapter 59: Li Qianjue's powerlessness and decision
That strike just now was indeed an all-out attack.
Of course, it was an all-out attack under normal conditions!
Thanks to the excellent treatment Sun Yu received at Hundred Battles Academy recently, he could now unleash the same strike that killed a Spirit Elder, even while holding back!
But that was all; having reserves didn't mean Sun Yu could use it twice in a row.
However, if he chose to add Battle Strength and fully activate his Spirit Bone ability's attribute amplification.
The power of that strike might have increased by one to two times, but if he really did that, for Sun Yu, being exhausted and weak, lying in bed for days, would be considered a good outcome!
"..."
"Very good, no, very powerful... No wonder that Spirit Elder was killed by your single strike. The power of your attack is comparable to the full-force strike of a high-level Spirit Elder or even a low-level agility-attack system Spirit Ancestor. If you had used that strike on Xiong Zhan just now, Xiong Zhan would have definitely lost!"
Listening to Sun Yu's confirmation, Dean Li's eyes showed even more obvious admiration as he looked at Sun Yu.
The joy and astonishment in his eyes were greater than ever!
It seems I've truly found a genuine genius this time!
"By the way, what was that piece of paper you just stuck on your Spirit? Why did I see a slight change in your Spirit after you put it on?"
Dean Li recalled the strange scene just now and asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Sun Yu did not hide anything and cupped his hands, saying,
"It's like this, Dean Li. The talisman paper I just stuck on my Spirit, I named it a Talisman. It's a self-created Spirit Ability I came up with on a whim when I was reading storybooks as a child.
By using the corpses of plant-type Spirit Beasts, spirit power is applied to talisman paper that can hold spirit power, and then released through special techniques. The one I used just now is called the Ning Jin Talisman.
It can turn the area it's applied to into metal for a certain period. I use this Talisman to increase the weight of my Spirit, thereby increasing my attack power!"
Sun Yu explained.
Since he wanted to find a backer, besides talent and hard work, it was best to show something new and interesting to attract their attention!
Battle Strength was too dangerous. In comparison, exposing the Talisman was undoubtedly the best choice.
Because it was abundant and satisfying...
Once he got skilled, it was very easy to draw!
It wasn't troublesome to use, and most importantly, at this stage, the Talismans were useless to high-level Spirit Masters, and being useless to high-level Spirit Masters meant they wouldn't covet them!
They would only see it as an interesting and novel thing.
Listening to Sun Yu's explanation, Li Qianjue indeed showed a curious expression.
"Talisman? What a peculiar name, and the effect sounds very unique. Do you have any more? Give me one to try..."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yu respectfully took out a second Ning Jin Talisman.
Li Qianjue took the Talisman and, imitating Sun Yu's actions, stuck the Ning Jin Talisman on his Spirit. As the Talisman took effect, Li Qianjue immediately felt that his Spirit had actually become about one percent heavier...
Feeling this sudden increase in weight, Li Qianjue's face immediately showed shock.
The effect of this Talisman was even better than he imagined!
His Dragon Staff only weighed about four thousand jin, but just by attaching a piece of talisman paper, it could quickly increase its weight by tens of jin.
Don't underestimate the weight of forty jin, but on the battlefield, a slight difference can lead to a completely different outcome.
Finally, as the Ning Jin Talisman turned into ashes and drifted away with the wind, Li Qianjue, feeling the weight disappear, also sighed and said,
"Alas, the item is good, but it's too low-level, and its duration is very short. It seems only suitable for Tool Spirit Masters below the Spirit Ancestor level. However, for you right now, it's very suitable...
But if you can further upgrade this Talisman in the future, I believe you'll be able to fight others even without your Spirit! I never thought that reading storybooks could lead to creating a self-created Spirit Ability..."
Listening to Li Qianjue's lament, Sun Yu cupped his hands and said,
"Regarding stronger Talismans, this junior is still researching, but whether it will succeed, I don't know, after all, creating the Ning Jin Talisman was purely coincidental..."
Looking at Sun Yu, Li Qianjue sighed slightly after a long silence, then said with a serious expression,
"Alas, Sun Yu, I'm very sorry, I might have to break my promise. I cannot accept you as my disciple!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Yu's expression froze, and his heart sank.
Just as he was about to ask something, he heard Dean Li continue,
"I feel that having me, a Spirit Emperor, as your master would be a bit of a waste of your talent. Although I can break through to Spirit Saint in two years, I still don't think it's enough.
How about this, you can be my registered disciple first, and then I will report to the clan. If my elder brother, who is currently in seclusion, is willing, I can let you become his disciple.
He is an eighty-eighth-level attack system Spirit Douluo. His Spirit is also a staff like mine, but it's not the Dragon Staff, but the Azure Dragon Staff!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Yu's expression changed slightly. After a moment of stunned, he immediately said with joy,
"So that's how it is! Then I'll trouble Dean Li to put in more effort. Sun Yu will follow Dean Li's arrangements!"
It seems his guess was correct; Dean Li really was from that family in the Hall of Offerings...
"Hmm, good. Don't worry, although I didn't take you in, I will never treat you unfairly. We will fulfill all the promises we made to you, and the academy's resources will be tilted towards you from now on.
As for my elder brother, it might take about a year for him to come out of seclusion, so you don't need to rush. I will keep an eye out for you. Once my elder brother comes out, I will immediately report your situation to him. Before that, you should focus on improving yourself at Hundred Battles Academy!"
Listening to Li Qianjue's arrangements, Sun Yu nodded slightly with a serious expression, saying,
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Dean Li, for your guidance!!"
"Still calling me Dean?"
"...Thank you, Teacher..."
Looking at Sun Yu respectfully calling him Teacher, Dean Li, while feeling relieved and happy, also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Because he realized that he seemingly had nothing to teach Sun Yu.
Sun Yu had his own two sets of staff techniques: one set of incredibly fierce breaking staff, and the other, a Taiji Staff that combined offense and defense, using softness to overcome hardness.
Neither of these two staff techniques would have a bad effect if mastered.
Coupled with Sun Yu's unknown number of self-created Spirit Abilities, and the peculiar talisman paper he just took out, called a Talisman.
All of them truly broadened Li Qianjue's horizons!
Therefore, Li Qianjue found that for such an all-around developed disciple, he had nothing else to teach him except material assistance!
However, fortunately, as the Dean, Li Qianjue was good at providing material support!
As for teaching, apart from some theoretical knowledge, he would let his elder brother worry about the rest.
Anyway, he was close to the Ancestor, so if it really didn't work, he could just ask the Ancestor anyway...
