After becoming a Soul Master, Yang Xiong's training regimen underwent a complete transformation, or rather, many new training plans were added.
Although only eight years old, due to long-term training, his height had already reached 1.4 meters, even taller than children with Beast Martial Souls.
Yang Xiong directly found a blacksmith shop in Seven Treasure City to forge many things for himself. He wore about thirty pounds of weight all over his body, including four five-pound wrist guards and a ten-pound chest plate. In addition, he also made sandbags filled with small iron beads and an iron wooden dummy.
The so-called wooden dummy was not complicated in structure. It was commonly used for martial arts practice in ancient Earth. The base was a large disc, and the main body was an iron pillar over 1.5 meters long with many holes. The iron pillar could rotate on the base depending on the force applied.
Various strangely shaped iron arms could be inserted into each hole, which could be designed according to one's needs.
The wooden dummy could be said to be the culmination of ancient martial arts practice in Earth's Huaguo. It was a simulated practice that integrated offensive techniques, hand techniques, footwork, and leg techniques. It fully embodied the practical combat awareness and fighting methods of ancient martial arts.
However, the ancient wooden dummies on Earth were made of hard wood, while the wooden dummy Yang Xiong ordered was made of pure iron and could have each arm replaced. It could be said to be more convenient, applicable, and stronger than ancient wooden dummies.
After all, the Douluo Continent was a fantasy world. Yang Xiong felt that after becoming a Soul Master, his strength and physical fitness had greatly improved in all aspects. Even at the age of eight, he was probably far stronger than those adults on Earth.
Every morning after getting up, in addition to regular exercise, Yang Xiong spent more time hitting the wooden dummy and sandbags. This was the real simulated combat training.
When hitting the wooden dummy, as the dummy rotated, if his reaction was even slightly slow, he would be hit by the iron arm. The greater the force and the faster the speed, the higher the probability of being hit. However, Yang Xiong's Body Martial Soul needed to be struck to become stronger.
As for hitting the sandbag, although it looked simple, it was one of the essences of boxing.
The sandbag was entirely filled with fine iron sand and wrapped in a layer of soul beast skin on the outside. Even with all his strength, the current Yang Xiong could not break it. Every morning, Yang Xiong hit the sandbag with all his might, which could be said to have utilized the power of his fists and feet to the extreme.
Especially after hitting the iron sandbag with full force, the flesh on his hands and feet were struck. After finishing, his body seemed to be in severe pain, and this was when the Body Martial Soul showed its effect. Its terrifying recovery ability even amazed Yang Xiong.
In the morning, Yang Xiong rarely went to class anymore. Instead, he planned to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Library to read. There were many good things there.
The afternoon was purely for physical training, carrying a heavier load while running, swimming, and so on, pushing his physical strength to the limit.
Although these days seemed simple, Yang Xiong clearly felt his body gradually becoming stronger.
Of course, every three to five days, Yang Xiong would spar with his father. Although he was beaten badly every time, he also accumulated some combat experience.
What surprised Yang Xiong the most was the collection of books in the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Library.
The entire library was divided into seven floors, each with various books, and as the floors went higher, there were even more secret books.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect truly deserved to be the wealthiest sect on the entire Douluo Continent. It seemed they had spent a lot of money on their collection. It could be said that the collection was all-encompassing, including a large number of cultivation notes from Titled Douluo masters, Self-Created Soul Skills of various high-level Soul Masters, and even knowledge of poisonous flowers and spiritual herbs. It was one of the richest libraries on the entire Douluo Continent.
Especially as the floors went higher, the value of the books also increased. There were even many rare and out-of-print books and some secrets from the history of the Soul Master world.
When Yang Xiong reached the sixth floor, he was even more surprised. There were actually the Clear Sky Sect's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, Clear Sky Nine Secret Skills, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family's Dragon Transformation here. However, they were clearly summarized from past masters' battles and were somewhat incomplete.
To enter the seventh floor, one needed a token from the Sect Leader or the two great guardian elders. However, Yang Xiong had the token Ning Fengzhi gave him, so he could naturally enter without hindrance.
If the first six floors of the library were known for their rich and valuable collection, the seventh floor was relatively simple, with a smaller quantity of books, but their value was extremely astonishing.
Even when Yang Xiong entered for the first time, his eyes widened because there were actually Distraction Control and Seven Kill Sword Technique here, and even the cultivation method of Bone Douluo. However, it seemed to be only the methods for the earlier levels, lacking the highest level. It should require their personal oral transmission.
Distraction Control was known as a secret technique of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Although it was not necessarily unique to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it could maximize the amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda through Distraction Control, and could even amplify multiple people simultaneously.
And the Seven Kill Sword Technique was known as the top-tier cultivation method in this world, and also the ultimate sword technique.
What interested Yang Xiong the most was the cultivation method of Bone Douluo. Bone Douluo's Martial Soul was Bone Dragon, known as the most mysterious master in the Soul Master world, but in fact, Bone Douluo was more skilled in defense.
In terms of defense alone, he was even stronger than Huyan Zhen and Niu Gao of the Defense Clan. In addition to his unique Martial Soul, he also had his own unique cultivation method.
Besides this, Yang Xiong even found many cultivation methods of defense families in the library. In addition to unique training methods, there were also some methods that used drugs to stimulate and enhance defense.
Yang Xiong felt as if he were in an ocean of knowledge within the library. Many things, in particular, would be very beneficial to him in the future, such as various Self-Created Soul Skills. Perhaps he could use them as reference to develop his own Self-Created Soul Skills later.
Of course, Yang Xiong also found many medicinal bath methods in the library, mostly originating from various prominent families. Although they might not be the absolute best in the world, each family had its unique aspects, or rather, they were very suitable for certain types of Martial Souls.
Lin Gong, the Class Teacher of Class One, placed great importance on class discipline, but he felt somewhat helpless with Yang Xiong.
After all, everyone in the class was only eight years old and was only receiving basic Soul Master knowledge education, with virtually no practical combat training.
Yang Xiong used to just read books during class and didn't listen at all. Now, he didn't even show up, directly taking leave to go to the library to read, which made the old man quite depressed.
However, Lin Gong was also helpless. Yang Xiong had read too many books over the years and had his own unique insights into Martial Soul cultivation. He could even recognize Lin Gong's Martial Soul at a glance. In terms of knowledge, he probably surpassed many teachers.
But Lin Gong required Yang Xiong to attend school for one day each week; otherwise, he would easily become disconnected from the rest of the class. Of course, this was also to understand Yang Xiong's specific situation, as it would be difficult for the Class Teacher to explain to the sect if they didn't know the student's circumstances.
