Starting From Douluo, Glory is Invincible

 Chapter 714: One Punch

“Thank you, senior, for reminding me!” Ying bowed deeply to Yu Xiaoyao, his tone full of sincerity and gratitude. Yu Xiaoyao's reminder was like a bright lamp, instantly lighting up the fog in his heart. He understood that the reason why he fell into that "spiritual" state was probably because of the imbalance of yin and yang. He has always been too focused on shadow refining dark attribute spiritual power, almost ignoring the existence of his own light attribute. This imbalance not only affects his emotions, but may also lead to his destruction.

However, Shadow is not someone who is easily defeated. He knows very well that if he wants to gain a foothold in this era of strife, he must constantly improve himself. Although light attribute magic is not very useful in his opinion, he also understands that the balance of yin and yang is crucial for a spiritualist. Therefore, he decided to pay more attention to the shadow training of the light attribute in his future training, in order to achieve the balance of yin and yang.

Ying's heart was full of firmness and determination, but Zhang Tao did not notice the change in him. Zhang Tao was still immersed in the story of the Origin War told by Yu Xiaoyao. The scenes of the Holy Spirit guides heroically killing the enemy and soldiers from various countries sacrificing their lives for the country made his blood boil. He couldn't help but asked Ying: "Ying, you said that Xing and Yin are so strong. Even if the compound super spiritual technique of the spirit tribe consumes too much of their spiritual power, they are not only holy spirit magicians, but also holy spirit guides." Sir! Even Grandpa Yu Xiaoyao said that if he could use his full strength to intercept the five spiritual magicians of the Spirit Tribe, how could there be any casualties including Xing Heyin and Mr. Ye Fen?"

Ying frowned slightly, this question has been lingering in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Maybe it's too much consumption. The power of compound super-spiritual art is no joke. Even a Holy Spirit Guide can hardly maintain his best condition under that level of consumption. Moreover, "There are too many variables in battle, and sometimes a small mistake can lead to fatal consequences."

 Zhang Tao nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, but he still felt a little puzzled. In his opinion, strong men like Xing Heyin should be able to deal with any situation easily. But he also knew that Ying's analysis made sense. After all, he himself has experienced combat and knows how terrifying the variables in combat can be.

 The two of them were silent all the way, each immersed in their own thoughts. Ying began to think about how to balance his yin and yang attributes, while Zhang Tao imagined the heroic figures of those Holy Spirit Guides. None of them noticed that the sun was gradually setting in the west as time went by.

 When the sun was about to set, the two finally returned to their destination—an ancient and mysterious temple. This temple is hidden in a dense forest and surrounded by rich spiritual energy. It is said that this place was once the place of practice of a great Holy Spirit Guide, and was later converted into a temple to worship and commemorate the Holy Spirit Guide.

The two of them walked into the temple and saw no one inside, except for a few broken statues and fallen leaves on the ground. But they didn't care about this because the purpose of their trip was not to visit the temple. They came to the backyard of the temple and saw a stone tablet with some ancient words and patterns engraved on it.

“Is this what we are looking for?” Zhang Tao asked curiously.

"That's right." Ying nodded, "This stone tablet records an ancient spiritual technique, which is said to help spiritualists balance the yin and yang attributes. As long as we learn this spiritual technique, we can solve my problem. "      Zhang Tao's eyes lit up after hearing this. He did not expect that this seemingly ordinary stone tablet would hide such an important secret. He couldn't wait to say: "Then let's get started!"

However, Yingying shook his head and said: "There is no rush. This kind of spiritual skill is very profound and cannot be learned in a short while. We need to make preparations first, and then study it slowly."

 After saying this, he began to search around the temple. Although Zhang Tao was a little confused, he still followed him to help search. After searching for a while, the two finally found some items that seemed ordinary but contained powerful spiritual energy. They placed these items around the stone monument and began to set up a simple formation.

 After the formation was completed, Ying began to close his eyes and meditate. He needs to completely immerse his mind in that ancient and mysterious spiritual art to understand its mystery and essence. Zhang Tao, on the other hand, stood by to protect him and prevent anyone from disturbing him.

Time passed by minute by minute and it was late at night in a blink of an eye. However, Ying still showed no sign of waking up. His face was covered with sweat and he seemed to be experiencing great pain and struggle. Zhang Tao was anxious in his eyes, but he couldn't do anything to help and could only stand by silently.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps broke the tranquility of the night. The two looked back and saw a group of people dressed in black approaching them quickly. "No! We've been discovered!" Zhang Tao exclaimed, pulling out the long sword from his waist and getting ready for battle. However, Ying still showed no sign of waking up. He seemed to be completely immersed in that kind of spiritual art and couldn't extricate himself.

"What should we do? Ying is still cultivating and we can't leave him alone!" Zhang Tao said anxiously. However, the men in black had already arrived in front of them and surrounded them. "Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Zhang Tao shouted loudly, trying to delay time for Ying to wake up.

 However, the men in black did not answer his questions but directly attacked them. Although Zhang Tao was very powerful, he gradually felt powerless when faced with the siege of so many men in black. While he struggled to resist the attack, he shouted Kage's name loudly, hoping that he would wake up as soon as possible.
