Hei Yan took quite a while to stabilize his cultivation, he did so until it was already evening. That was because the cultivation age of the Diamond King Baboon had increased to hundreds of years.
If it wasn't for Hei Yan using the simplified version of Heaven's Path Divine Art, it would probably take him a whole day, because this process of absorbing a Spirit Ring had perfectly bound his Martial Spirit with Spirit Beast, which made Hei Yan undergo various Mutations or Evolutions.
When Hei Yan woke up, he felt his body become lighter, "Huah! How refreshing!" he said as he examined his body.
Hei Yan felt happy after feeling the changes in his body, apart from feeling stronger, he also felt more confident with this strength.
However, suddenly Hei Yan was startled by the voice of someone behind him who was sighing, "Haaa.. You are finally done cultivating".
Of course, Lei Yan who was not alert immediately jumped in fright, "WUAAHH!!", he shouted while holding his butt.
Then Hei Yan immediately turned around and checked who was behind him, and he was relieved when all he saw was Lin Fan, "Fuhh... Young Master... Why are you suddenly behind me? Ugh.. This traumatized me..." he said, rubbing his forehead.
"..."
Lin Fan shook his head with a wry smile, "You're overthinking... Anyway, I have good and bad news for you, which news do you want to hear first?".
Hei Yan thought for a while, then he replied, "Uhh.. I prefer good news..".
"For the good news, congratulations! Your Martial Spirit underwent a Mutation and became stronger, of course not only this, but I will teach you a suitable technique," said Lin Fan with a smile.
Since Hei Yan had only joined Lin Fan for a day, he had only studied the simple version of the Heaven's Path Divine Art. Especially when they were still in the wagon, Hei Yan couldn't learn other techniques like the Hammer Technique.
"My Martial Spirit has mutated?!" Hei Yan was quite surprised by Lin Fan's words. "Wow! What's that??" Ah yes, actually he was surprised because he didn't know what Lin Fan meant.
Lin Fan shook his head, he had forgotten that previously Hei Yan was an ordinary kid with no talent to become a Spirit Master, making this kid not have any basic knowledge of Martial Spirit.
Knowing that, Lin Fan explained simply, "That mutation is a Martial Spirit that evolves to become stronger than before, well, you'll know after taking out your Martial Spirit,".
Hei Yan still didn't quite understand what Lin Fan was saying, but he was curious about what had happened. Then, he took out his Martial Spirit, which was accompanied by a yellow ring around his body.
WENG!
After that, a black Hammer appeared in Hei Yan's right hand, of course this was a Diamond Hammer, an evolution of the previous ordinary Hammer.
However, when he took out the Diamond Hammer, there was a shadow of a Baboon behind him, which must have been a Diamond Baboon.
When Hei Yan saw the Diamond Hammer in his hand, he was quite surprised by its cooler appearance than before. He even felt that the hammer was heavier, but not too heavy when he lifted it!
"Cool..." Hei Yan said with sparkling eyes, he immediately swung the Diamond Hammer because he was too happy.
WUSH! WUSH! WUSH!
Thanks to the Vigorous Vajra Strength, Hei Yan was able to swing a 75Kg Hammer with ease. If he didn't have it, he would probably be a useless Spirit Master, who possessed a powerful Martial Spirit but couldn't use it, funny isn't it?
After playing with his new Hammer for a few seconds, Hei Yan just remembered that nearby Lin Fan was still watching him, "Heheee.. I'm sorry, Young Master. I'm too excited to know my new Martial Spirit, hehee"
Lin Fan just shook his head with a smile, to him this was natural, perhaps he would also be too excited when his Martial Spirit underwent a Mutation. However, he did not know whether his two Martial Spirits could mutate or not.
After that, Lin Fan continued to say something else, "Well, after the good news, now is the bad news," he said with a serious look.
Hei Yan was immediately serious, he was curious about this bad news.
"Actually, this isn't the usual bad news, neither disaster nor misfortune. But an opportunity for us, a chance to improve our experience," said Lin Fan seriously.
Then he explained again, "The three of us, me, you and Xiao Bing will be going up against a Spirit Douluo, someone with a cultivation reaching Rank 80!"
Yes, the three of them will fight Tai Tan. With their cultivation being so low, they definitely wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning. But they could use this opportunity to increase their experience while fighting.
" We will be fighting this Spirit Douluo tomorrow in broad daylight. So we still have preparations for you to learn a technique that I will teach you," said Lin Fan seriously.
Even though Lin Fan knew that this battle would be unwinnable for them, he wanted to give his best and get a perfect result. That way, he had to prepare everything perfectly as well.
Hei Yan, who was listening to Lin Fan earlier, looked very serious. After thinking for a while, he said something with a serious face, "Young Master, then what is a Spirit Douluo?".
"..."
Ah yes, Lin Fan forgot that Hei Yan had no basic knowledge of Spirit Masters.
...
In the end, Lin Fan had to explain all his knowledge of Spirit Masters to Hei Yan. Of course, this was annoying for Lin Fan, but what could he do?
After that, Lin Fan taught Hei Yan his Hammer Technique. Of course, mastering this technique in a day was impossible for others, as it required perfect precision of movement to be able to use it.
However, Lin Fan has another way that can speed up the mastery of this technique, by utilizing Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing with Hei Yan, so that he can see and feel how to use the Hammer Technique properly.
Luckily, Hei Yan had a great talent for using a Hammer, allowing him to master Lin Fan's Hammer Technique in just a few hours!
While other techniques such as the Fist Technique? Well, it turns out that Hei Yan takes a long time, even taking a day to master it. Ah, of course it's also very fast, just a little bad compared to the Hammer Technique.
Besides that, Hei Yan was also practicing using his Spirit Skill, he wanted to adapt and get the best control over his new power.
...
The next day, just before noon. Lin Fan, Hei Yan, and Xiao Bing were already in a large field within the One-Strength Clan. And in front of them was Tai Tan who was excited to see the three of them.
"Hohoo.. Looks like one of you has been training all night," said Tai Tan while looking at Hei Yan. Because he could feel the difference in aura from Hei Yan's body, which was previously disorganized was now more controlled.
Hei Yan just smiled wryly, his hard work all night was indeed not in vain, even though he didn't sleep at all. Luckily with Lin Fan's Heaven's Path Divine Art and Life Blessing, Hei Yan was able to recover to his peak easily.
However, for Tai Tan, among these three children, only Lin Fan was the one who impressed him the most. Not only in terms of body strength, but also the aura emitted by Lin Fan was also more restrained than Hei Yan or Xiao Bing.
It was true, in terms of cultivation, Lin Fan was the weakest because he had not obtained a Spirit Ring. But in terms of ability and strength, Lin Fan was the best among them.
`Yeah, I'm still amazed even though I've seen this kid so many times,` thought Tai Tan who was staring intently at Lin Fan. Well, he didn't know whether it was Lin Fan's appearance or strength that amazed him.
Then, Tai Tan smiled widely, "So, are you all ready?!" he said in a loud voice.
Hearing Tai Tan's words, Lin Fan and Hei Yan immediately stepped forward side by side, with Lin Fan on the left and Hei Yan on the right, and also behind them was Xiao Bing.
Hei Yan took out his Diamond Hammer which was then held in his right hand, of course accompanied by a Yellow Spirit Ring and the shadow of a Diamond King Baboon.
"I'm ready," Hei Yan said seriously. This was his first fight, let alone against an enemy with such a huge difference in strength, so he had to try his best.
Xiao Bing who was behind also activated her Martial Spirit, the Golden Sun Lotus, which emitted a red gold Lotus mark on his forehead. Of course accompanied by the appearance of a Yellow Spirit and the shadow of a Lotus around her.
"Big Brother said that Grandpa is very strong, so we will defeat you!" Xiao Bing said with a big smile. This was also Xiao Bing's first fight after obtaining a Martial Spirit. Even so, she wasn't nervous because his Big Brother would protect her.
As for Lin Fan, all of his Martial Spirits no longer needed to be activated. Because all of them are always active, moreover the Spirit Body which has Martial Spirit Affinity reaches 100%.
Lin Fan then circulated the Heaven's Path Spirit Essence in his body, and an illusion of gold colored eyes instantly appeared on his forehead.
WENG!
The Life Eye activated, and Lin Fan's gaze instantly became extremely sharp!
"Sir, I'm ready at all times," said Lin Fan as he looked at Tai Tan seriously. He was also trying to catch all of Tai Tan's movements.
Tai Tan was very excited, especially when Lin Fan took out his Life Eye, his aura turned even more powerful and full of life!
"And, Start!"
BOOM!
Suddenly, from Tai Tan's body released a pressure that cracked the floor below and flew some debris, which then he flicked the debris which was shot towards Lin Fan and others!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Three pieces of debris were shot towards the three of them at a fairly fast speed, of course with a devastating force that was terrifying enough for the three of them. Moreover, this came from the force of a Spirit Douluo with a Strength Attribute!
If the three of them were hit by all this debris, then they could be seriously injured!
WOOSH! WOOOSH! WOOOSH!
Of course, Tai Tan had limited his strength. This is just a practice, not a life and death battle. So his attack wouldn't make these three children die, at least only seriously injured.
However, Lin Fan and the others were able to dodge all of the debris, even though they only used the slightest movement to dodge all of the attacks!
WOSH! WOSH! WOSH!
"Huh? How could that be?!" said a surprised Tai Tan. It's true, all of his attacks had been restricted earlier, but evading them should be quite difficult for them!
Lin Fan only smiled proudly, because all of Tai Tan's attacks were easily dodged. Whereas Hei Yan and Xiao Bing looked awestruck, as they were able to dodge that extremely fast attack just by casually!
"So cool.." said Hei Yan who was awestruck.
"This is so amazing!" said Xiao Bing who was also awestruck with sparkling eyes.
How could that be? Of course it was because of Lin Fan, he used Spiritual Detection and Spiritual Sharing with Hei Yan and Xiao Bing!
With his Spiritual Power reaching the Spiritual Abyss Realm and being strengthened with Life Eye, seeing all of Tai Tan's attacks was easy for him. He could even read all the moves and predict the path of the attack!
`These two abilities are well suited in team battles, it's only fair that these abilities are said to be the best in controlling movement in battle,` Lin Fan thought proudly.
After dodging all the debris, Lin Fan shouted, "Now!"
