Chapter 46: The Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer, Thunder Hammer Technique
As for the strongest Deep Sea Magic Dragon Hammer, it also follows the same principle, but this technique requires charging and infusing energy to reach the Dragon Transformation realm, which is comparable to divine-level power. However, the conditions for using this technique are quite strict.
The Sea God Magic Dragon Hammer is definitely out of the question; in human form, I don't have that kind of energy.
But I can try the Thunder Hammer Technique and the Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer.
"Let's give it a try."
"Second soul skill, Deep Sea Magic Hammer!"
Boom!
Ye Wen released his second soul skill, the Deep Sea Magic Hammer, and as he followed the launching technique of the Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer, he struck.
Whoosh!
The simple swing of the hammer had no power at all.
"Huh? It failed? Which part of the process went wrong?" Ye Wen was puzzled. Logically, he should be able to use it in both his Deep Sea Demon Whale King semi-human form and his human form. After all, this was just a special technique, not an exclusive ability.
As long as he understood the principle, he should be able to use it.
Ye Wen tried a few more times and realized, "I see. Even though I'm very familiar with the Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer, my human body can't accurately trigger every step. After all, the physical body and soul power are very different, so there are discrepancies in the usage."
"I'll spend the next few days practicing here."
Ye Wen smiled slightly.
He couldn't return to the academy just yet. After all, obtaining a soul ring would take a few days, so he could use this time to practice his hammer technique.
"Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer!"
Whoosh!
Ye Wen began to try again and again, day after day.
Since he was already familiar with this technique, but in a weaker human body, he quickly regained mastery over it. In just three days, he had already mastered the Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer.
"Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer!"
Boom!!
Ye Wen gathered a terrifying amount of power. With one mighty strike, the large rock in front of him was shattered into tiny fragments and fell to the ground.
"Although I can now release the Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer, the effect is still very different from before! I still need some time to master it precisely," Ye Wen analyzed.
From here on, he had a clear path for training: mastering the Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer and the Thunder Hammer Technique.
"Three days, it's almost time to return to the academy."
Ye Wen left the five-story villa where Scott and the other soul masters from the Killing City were staying and headed back to Tianshui Academy.
With just a little more than 20 days left until the Five Elements Academy Exchange, Tianshui Academy, as the host this year, had already started preparing the venue.
They were also selecting the representatives for each grade to compete in the event. The selection method was a 1v1 duel within each grade, and the top three strongest participants would represent their grade.
Ye Wen, Xie Hu, and Xiao Bai were the top three in the second grade and far exceeded their peers, so they didn't need to compete and were directly selected.
During this time, Tianshui Academy was bustling with activity, but Ye Wen paid no attention to it. He was focused solely on improving his strength in his human form.
Before he knew it, half a month had passed.
Ye Wen had become more proficient with the Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer. It could be said that his mastery had reached 80%, but the power he could unleash was still far from what he could achieve in his Deep Sea Demon Whale King semi-human form.
He couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that even if I fully master the Eight-Edge Overlord Hammer, the power will still be much weaker! The human form, both in terms of physicality and soul power, is just too far from my whale form, and this move requires a lot of energy."
"However, the power I can exert now is already comparable to the fifth soul skill of an average Soul King. That's not bad," Ye Wen said with some satisfaction.
"Now, let's try the Thunder Hammer Technique."
Just as Ye Wen was about to switch to learning another hammer technique, Shui Bing'er walked over from a distance: "You're really here! I've been looking for you for a while!"
"What's up? Do you need something, Bing'er?" Ye Wen's address had shifted from Shui Bing'er to just Bing'er.
"The selection for the exchange event is over, and Instructor Xiu Zhen wants all the participants to gather at the advanced class training ground," Shui Bing'er said, panting lightly, clearly having run over.
Ye Wen saw this and didn't delay. He withdrew his power and said, "Alright, let's go."
"Mm."
The two of them walked side by side, chatting and laughing along the way.
Soon, they arrived at the advanced class training ground, where Xie Hu and Xiao Bai were already there. In addition to them, there were students from the first to sixth grades, as well as three representatives from each grade, totaling 21 participants. Shui Xiu Zhen, the strongest instructor at Tianshui Academy, was also present.
Instructor Shui Xiu Zhen called out from a distance: "Bing'er, Ye Wen, come over and join the group."
"Alright."
The two jogged over and quickly joined the group.
Ye Wen looked at the students gathered here. They were the strongest students from each grade.
The first-grade students were all newcomers and none of them were familiar to him.
The second grade consisted of Ye Wen, Xie Hu, and Xiao Bai.
The third grade was quite average with no standout students.
The fourth grade was similar, nothing remarkable.
The fifth grade had Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er as the more outstanding students. Shui Bing'er was at level 25, while Shui Yue'er was at level 21.
The sixth grade was also quite strong. There were Shen Liuyu, Gu Qingbo, and Qiu Ruoshui, who were all future main fighters for Tianshui Academy in the Soul Master Tournament. They were all very good-looking as well.
Shen Liuyu, Martial Soul: Enamel Crocodile, Second-ring Soul Master, Soul Power: Level 23.
Qiu Ruoshui, Martial Soul: Blue Lotus Fish, Second-ring Soul Master, Soul Power: Level 23.
Gu Qingbo, Martial Soul: Azure Flag Fish, Second-ring Soul Master, Soul Power: Level 24.
The advanced class had the greatest age range, from over 12 years old to 25, with varying strengths.
Tianshui Academy's future main members, Yu Hai Rou and Xue Wu, were still not at their prime. They were not the top students in the advanced class, so the representatives from the advanced class were unfamiliar faces.
Their strength was also average, with the strongest one at level 41, and the others at level 38 and 37.
Looking at the students from Tianshui, their overall strength was decent, but Ye Wen wasn't sure if they could beat the students from the other four academies—Shenfeng, Chihu, Thunder, and Xiangjia.
At this time, Instructor Shui Xiu Zhen spoke again, and Ye Wen turned his attention back to the matter at hand.
"Alright, everyone, line up in order from first to sixth grade."
"Yes!"
The students quickly lined up.
Shui Xiu Zhen continued: "In ten days, the Five Elements Academy Exchange will begin. Last year, Tianshui Academy took third place! This year, I hope everyone can help lead Tianshui Academy to first place!"
