《Summoner of the Storm》Ch. 6. Testing and Training
Advertisement
The casual strength of 140 men, and the force is astounding! Under the outbreak of the power of terror, Fan Wuji could not control it at all, sometimes from time to time, and the moves displayed were naturally not able to go past 100 men.
For half an hour, under the eyes of his father, Fan Wuji completely mastered his own strength, familiar with the body's casual movements, and the moves that were displayed in his hands became smooth, every hit now striking with the power of 140 men, but masters of the Tekko are able to use their own meager strength many times weaker than Fan Wuji to hit with the force of 160 men.
Move after move after move of Gaia's tragedy!
River's Grief!
Ocean's Contempt!
Mountain's Rage!
Forest's Remorse!
He directly improved his strength by activating the Greed disguise, and he quickly returned back to training.
Father Fan saw Wuji enter the state, which was suppose to make him stronger, but it did not do much, only allowing Fan Wuji to occasionally hit with the force of 150 men, gradually reaching the state of hitting it most of the time. 150 is already pretty good, but masters of the Tekko need to hit 160 men strengths from any position all the time, and what's even more admirable is that these people who can do that don't really have the insane strength of 140 men like Fan Wuji. They have like 40 to 50 men strength and only through hard training can they go over past this limit and hit the values they are so known for.
"Well."
Father Fan looked at Fan Wuji's improvement in a very short period of time, and nodded with understanding. “Can you feel your limit already?”
"Yes."
Fan Wuji took a deep breath and continued hitting his punches.
The experience of fast growth soon made Fan Wuji felt his own limit, but he still is not able to hit the Tekko master's achieved force multiplier reaching 160 men. After completely failing to go over past this stumbling block, he decided to try the innate martial art of the two headed ogre.
Booom!
Father Fan was surprised when he felt Fan Wuji's power suddenly doubled from 150 to 300 men. He looked at the moves of his son and was surprised for the power seemed to be not consistent with his size and body ratio.
How can an average sized teenager hit a 300 men force using only the weight of his arms and the torque of his waist? He just saw this boy do a simple right cross, and the energy armor just cracked. What's even more astounding was that at first the boy followed through with his moves, but as he kept training, the boy's follow through time became shorter and shorter until...
"Unbelievable! What type of soulbeast possession is this? That's followthrough cancelling. Only the tyrannical bodies of monsters and soulbeasts can accept the strain of forcibly stopping their own bodies in order to increase their own combat effectiveness."
Father Fan upon seeing the power of Fan Wuji's punches is still the same but the speed just went up a notch. Thankfully, the dummy and armor have automatic restoring properties, so as long as they aren't destroyed fast enough, they can last indefinitely.
Fan Wuji treated this experience as actual combat and tried to improve his own moves. He now has a higher level of understanding in ogre martial arts.
booom!
booom!
booom!
....
Dread Orb!
Rune Bomb!
Surging Fist!
Consuming Blaze!
Runic Blast!
Shadowflame!
Booom! Craaack!
A quick combo was taken and the dummy and armor was destroyed. Father Fan was taken aback. He first saw Wuji move far away. Then he created a purple orb on his left hand and a red object on his right hand. He threw the purple orb on the air and bowled the red object on the ground. He continued by further rushing up to the dummy with a superman punch, and Fan Wuji's body was like tinder as it lit the armor and dummy aflame. The purple orb landed on the dummy's front breaking the armor completely and it bounced again. The rolling red object exploded once it reach the dummy. After he lit the dummy aflame, Fan Wuji also kept attacking with slaps while his palms also eject purple flames, and when it seems the dummy was about to restore itself, the purple orb landed behind the dummy again, destroying it completely.

Cho'Gall seems to be guiding Fan Wuji intentionally, trying to let Fan Wuji show every ability and how they go well together.
The progress of Fan Wuji is undoubtedly horrible. What happened just now was an explosive burst that completely integrates all of Wuji's abilities, which is far beyond the expectations of Father Fan.
He remembers that when Fan Wuji was fighting the dummy, he only used his physical strength and martial arts to hit with the force of 300 men. And he has not used any magic technique at all. Only after this time Father Fan realized his son was still hiding unmatched magical power behind the powerful physique.
However, with the improvement of fighting ability, Fan Wuji has been able to display it all completely, and it quickly integrated into his fighting style.
Obviously, Fan Wuji has already known these abilities, but because of the lack of control, he dare not display them. After all, he has no practice area of his own.
This child, a strong talent!
He has not even practiced yet, just relied on soulbeast possession, can even do all the soulbeast's abilities, this powerful talent is unique!
"Son, is there anything else you're hiding from me?" Father Fan said faintly.
Fan Wuji smiled. "There is another point, father."
He took river sprite from the gameboard.
“Oh?” Father Fan’s eyes lit up. “In theory, if you have Ragnaros as your soulbeast, what could that thing be?”
Fan Wuji played with river sprite, then he took a deep breath, and told his father about the river sprite making Ragnaros even stronger. He told his father about the essence of traits, how it is completely out of the realm of soulbeasts but able to influence them, and the power of origins and classes!
"My son has this trick?" Father Fan thought to himself. He then spoke of what he knew to Wuji.
"There is a system of cultivation in the monster race called the monster Lord. Different races of monsters can strengthen each other when they gather in hordes under a monster Lord. Lord type monsters are not capable of fighting, but they are born leaders, and can improve the strength of their horde through encouraging monsters to coexist with one another."
"Monsters have this type of method?"
"Yes, it is said that monster lords start with one monster race, and they can add more monster races in their horde when their rank goes higher."
"Then, how can we humans cope up with that?"
"Well, you'll soon learn it in high school, but the monster lords only first appeared when we humans were able to advance our technology and organization to the point of wiping out some very aggressive monster clans. Thus, the monster clans knew that only by sticking together can they threaten us with mutual destruction."
Father Fan then added.
"Along with the monster Lord, there is also rogue human organization called Hydrangea which has the same trick. They all have the shard of the ruined king that implants them with an artificial bloodline. These rogue humans, everyone of them can be summoners due to the treasure, shard of the ruined king. The ruined king's ability to create hordelike armies from soulbeast corpses gives them the same effect as the monster horde but for soulbeasts instead, making them avid hunters preying on you summoners."
"The ruined king's natural enemy is the soulbeast rogue sentinel, and it is the predator of the ruined king. Any soulbeast can kill the ruined king's body, but only the sentinel is able to free the trapped soulbeasts. Upon doing so, they free all the imprisoned soulbeasts under this ruined king, allowing them to return to life. These soulbeasts who return to life become monsters, and they would become part of the ecosystem in the world. These soulbeasts will form another monster faction made up of only soulbeasts, creating their own hordes in the process and they would have goodwill with the rogue sentinel who freed them. These soulbeasts hordes would form natural spirits or entities that lead them and we termed them as small or tiny legends."

"Wow! To think that there really is something like that. Why does no one tell our generation this information, Father?"
"Well, kids have to do kids stuff, and even if there is a situation, there are the adults to hold up the sky. I'm only telling you this now because I consider you responsible and strong enough to make use of this information. For example, if this information is spread to kids, what if some newborn calf summoner decides to go to Hydrangea in order to fight them? Would'nt that be like sending food to the tiger?"
"What if an ambitious young man who did not awaken his bloodline learn of Hydrangea? Would'nt that be like a charcoal in the snow for the young man?"
"But what about his family? Do you think just because only he is blinded by a promise of a bloodline, so will his family not be implicated? No person is ever truly alone, and no family is ever truly innocent. Cut off the chicken to scare the coop, while also enraging the prodigal chick. That is how the S.W.O.R.D. deals with the family of members from Hydrangea. R-18 execution. So please, son, don't ever tell any of this to your sister. Not for now, at least."
Fan Wuji nodded. He then went to the vault and took the training orb from it. His new plan was to train his magic power. After choosing the infamous Shock ability from Volt training manual, he proceeded to train his mental power and magic resistance. Shocks of energy began to hit his body, and he responded by using his abilities to block the bolts by consuming the energy from it before it reaches his body. Thanks to Cho's ogre hide, he was able to reduce the damage from the bolts by one fourth. Even further on, he can also combine it with Gall's ogre rage, increasing the damage Gall's abilities can deal by one fourth, but he chose not to yet, in order to learn the intricacies of mental combat.
Physical combat has a trick!
There are also tricks in mental combat!
Spiritual combat even have their own!
In order to be a truly complete cultivator, knowing how to counter all three combat types is key. The best cultivation manuals even have access to a set of abilities that incorporate all three major schools.
Even if you can't make your physical attack suddenly become more powerful, you can still learn methods to reduce the damage you take through dodging and blocking. Even if the meaning of the spirit ability is to make your self more compact, coherent, and full of coordination, but there are still some methods the enemy can use to prevent your advantage, like perhaps not fighting you at your strongest.
But if you master the technique of mental combat...
Then the meaning of the trick will become completely explosive!
When you perform the essentials of mental or spiritual combat, you will call a source of energy in your body. Whenever you cast an ability, you will condense a trace of aura, which is called energy in cultivators and mana in monsters and soulbeasts.
With the release of the ability, you can explode these energies to deal damage to your enemies!
The more the quantity or the better the quality, the stronger is the resulting explosion!
When Fan Wuji destroyed the dummy, he broke out all the abilities. Although only a single rotation was made, the energy that broke out made Father Fan admire the scene, and the event is still fresh in his memory.
However, at this time, Fan Wuji suddenly spoke. "Father, be careful."
"Ok?"
Father Fan’s heart was tight, and upon instantly hearing the words of Fan Wuji, a horrible energy broke out at that moment, overclocking the orb.
Fan Wuji has activated Gall's ogre rage and upon seeing that, father Fan's brows slightly wrinkled. Although the size of Fan Wuji's flame is the same, and not much more coherent, but overall, there is a big change in the energy consumption of the orb, where does the extra power come from?
"How could this be?"
Father Fan's eyes flashed upon seeing that Fan Wuji still has not stopped his mental power from when he started, not even for a moment. Stopping the mental power is a sign of aura exhaustion and is usually done to rest the mind in order to regain the energy that was lost. Father Fan immediately broke out all his power to defend himself from the orb's resulting explosion.
Boom!
After the orb finally exploded, Father Fan also stepped back two steps, stabilizing his body shape and his eyes were filled with strange brilliance. Not letting up the pressure in mental power after such a long time could mean only one thing.
Infinite mana capacity!
It turned out to be infinite mana capacity!
Fan Wuji having mental power, it should not be strange at all, but ... Infinite mana capacity, it cannot be had just by following a tutorial online. Even for summoners whose soulbeasts have this talent, the estimated signing fee can also cost up to 20 million credits, and often there is no price for these people are considered national level treasures.
This is the king of real mental combat and abilities!
If only it is possible, many people would dare to spend more than 20 million credits just to buy a soulbeast with infinite mana capacity, in fact, who among these rich families won't do anything just to improve the combat capabilities of their children?
Of course, there is also a possibility that someday in the future there will be an exclusive cultivation manual that has all three major fighting schools completely integrated into its abilities. Even perhaps, one of its abilities is an artificial method that gives nearby allied cultivators infinite energy capacity. Maybe some talented person is working on it now, as they speak.
This son of his has made him more and more pleasantly surprised.
"The unlimited mana capacity is from Ragnaros?" Father Fan asked strangely.
Fan Wuji shook his head. "Truth be told, I got it all from his servant."
Father Fan nodded, not asking anymore questions. Fan Wuji's physical strength and mental strength is very strong already, and it is not surprising to also have infinite mana capacity. "You are very strong now, I can vouch for that, but you still can't underestimate the others. Your current rank is still too dangerous for exploring, when you go out to the wild, don’t stray too far from the city.”
"I agree, father." Fan Wuji thought so too.
"The unlimited mana capacity for you is not all smooth sailing. There are still many problems in place." Father Fan said faintly. "Although you will be relentless among your current rank, breaking through the next ranks will be much more difficult. The first few times, you have to be ready for failures before and during your promotions. Once you have had many similar experiences, you can pave through your future path with trial and error. In many cases during combat, once your opponents discover your quirk, they will not give you any chance to use your endless potential. They will fight hard with you. You have to remember that the outbreak of those with infinite resources cannot compare to those with finite resources. After all, that is the law of conservation of energy."
"What should I do?" Fan Wuji has some doubts. "After all, I can't just ignore the fact that I am now blessed with infinite mana capacity. It's too much of a waste if I don't use my strengths against my opponent's weakness."
Father Fan pointed out, "Then hide it, so that the other party can't see any clues. Just like you usually do, you can't let anyone notice that you have infinite mana capacity. Then, at the opportune moment, you suddenly break out, give them despair, grind them to the death! The deeper you hide yourself, the better you can perform in life and death situations."
Fan Wuji nodded and kept these in mind.
If you let him quietly maintain a quick shooter persona most of the time, the timely appearance of a real long, long man is enough to tire a violent monster to death with a heart attack! That kind of terrible yin plot is just too cunning!
Father Fan took out the remote controlled ball launcher and adjusted it in the room. A red colored laser flew out of the launcher, and Fan Wuji appeared on its sight.
“This is the minimum amount of force, this should be enough for you to withstand. Lets see how much force you can withstand. In the future, when you fight, you must have the toughness to go hand in hand with your infinite mana capacity! In that way, you will be able to tire your enemies to death!"
Father Fan said seriously, "Only by completing this launcher at maximum power, will I truly gain the confidence in letting you go out of the city into the wilderness."
"Otherwise, the day after tommorrow, you definitely can't go!"
"What happens the day after tommorrow, father?"
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, your summoner class will be having a field trip, after you guys register in the Summoners Association, you'll be shown the state of the wilderness outside Xiguang. Thankfully, your meditation stopped, else I don't know what to do with you child."
"Yes, Father!"
Fan Wuji’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the launcher in front of him. There was no slack in the defense of his body. For preserving his own life, he'll never allow himself to be a crispy skin anymore.
boom!
Hey!
What!
Hey!
A series of sounds sounded from the body as Wuji got hit by the powerful balls from the launcher, and he gradually entered a state of enthusiasm for cultivation. Everything was only to meet the requirements for the trip the day after tomorrow.
After an hour of the tempering from the launcher, Father Fan then sparred with Wuji, finally teaching the boy why he is the father and Wuji is only a son.
Before they left, they showed the receipt in the main lobby in order to test their speed values and Ragnaros' mana value. Ragnaros and Fan Wuji tested their speed on a room strapped to a machine. They were told to do their thing as the machine converted their values. In the end, Ragnaros was discovered to have the motion speed of 1.6 feet per second and a sprint speed of 191 meters in 10 seconds, while Fan Wuji's motion speed was almost 2 feet per second and his sprint speed was 215 meters in 10 seconds.
After that, an assitant directly took them to the base's mana testing hall and pointed to a white suspended lounge chair inside: "Let's go."
Fan Wuji's eyes flashed the color of surprise, this floating lounge chair he knows, the Summoning Association's regular mana tester. It can comprehensively test mana quantity and quality.
Going over, Fan Wuji made Ragnaros sit directly on it.
"brush!"
"brush!"
A few soft sounds, a few soft gray belts stretched out from under the suspension chair, completely fixing Ragnaros' wrists, ankles, and body.
The suspended lounge chair lifted off and took Ragnaros directly into the midair of the room. Then there were countless laser lines on the ceiling, and countless strange lines swept through Ragnaros.
Fan Wuji looked at the light curtain popping up next to the tester. The countless data on it was like a waterfall. It can be clearly seen. The above shows the mana composition test... Mana quantity and quality test....
Countless tests progressed at a rapid speed, the light disappeared, the suspended lounge chair slowly fell, and the final test results finally popped up on the light curtain.
Mental power: 975 pounds of class 0 mana
"975 pounds?" Fan Wuji is not surprised, this soulbeast's control is already delicate so almost reaching 1,000 pounds is not suspenseful at all.
Father Fan nodded.
When the two came home, it was already very late.
After returning home, his sister and mother was very concerned. Fan Wuji can only apologize to them with a smile, but this warm atmosphere makes his heart comfortable.
Few hours of unrelenting training made him see the real strength of this enhanced body of his.
The ball launcher has even been fully activated. In the end, not even 240 strength of men was able to break the skin of Fan Wuji. If you also consider spiritual combat, where Fan Wuji is the weakest with only consuming blaze, he can barely be considered a perfect cultivator. But he can still also heal himself by a huge amount with the combination of the healing fountain and the stone in his heart.
