After hearing Ye Wuming's words, Ye Li knew that the other party should be preparing to launch an attack, so he also began to try to adjust himself.
Ye Li slowly released some of the spiritual power concentrated in his fingertips, not allowing them to be concentrated too tightly, because that would consume all his energy.
The spiritual energy at his fingertips began to soften, and the distance between his fingers and the stalagmite gradually shortened, until in the end only about the thickness of a layer of cloth remained.
Diverting some of his attention from his fingertips, Ye Li began to pay attention to the situation around him, and tried to draw out another spiritual power from his sea of consciousness for defensive purposes.
Ye Wuming said: "I am going to attack you. At the beginning, I will make it easier for you. I will tell you where I will attack, and you should prepare to gather spiritual energy for defense.
The first place I will attack is the chest, so be careful."
After finishing speaking, Ye Wuming flicked his finger, and a most basic earth spell appeared in his hand, followed by a fist-sized stone bullet that instantly condensed.
After stretching out his hand and shaking it, Ye Wuming ejected the stone bullet talisman whose power had been greatly weakened.
The flying speed of the stone bullet talisman is not very fast. If it was on the ground, Ye Li could even catch the stone bullet directly with his palm.
However, for him who was now in an upside-down position, the stone bullet talisman was so fast that it was difficult for him to react.
It was not until the stone bullet flew towards his chest that he mobilized his spiritual power and barely condensed a loose ball of spiritual energy to block his chest.
The spiritual energy condensed in a hurry naturally had no defensive power at all, like a piece of thin paper, which could not even stop the very weak stone bullet and hit Ye Li's chest solidly.
Although the stone bullet was weak, due to Ye Li's strong physical defense, it hardly caused him any pain. However, the fist-sized stone still brought a strong enough impact force.
Ye Li was currently standing on his fingertips and could not withstand the impact. His body shook and he fell off the stalagmite, landing on a circle of small stalagmites around it, screaming in pain.
These three days did not make him accustomed to the pain, but it made him get up from the ground much faster. He stood up again in the blink of an eye after just landing.
"Fifth Grandfather, why do I feel that the reaction of spiritual power is so slow? I clearly saw your stone bounce coming towards me, but I just couldn't block it."
After Ye Wuming told Ye Li the target area for attack, he began to prepare to mobilize his spiritual power. However, even so, he was still a step slow. With most of his attention focused on his fingertips, his reaction was almost as slow as a snail.
Ye Wuming smiled and said, "This is normal, because you are not used to this way of distributing spiritual power, just like before you couldn't concentrate your spiritual power to bind the spiritual essence to bear the weight. Now you are doing very well, aren't you? Even if the spiritual essence on your fingertips fell, it didn't break.
In fact, to develop such a habit, it would take years if one only relied on daily use of spells and actual combat to cultivate it.
But now we are trying to compress things that you will only understand after several years into one month, so naturally we will have to suffer some hardships.
To put it bluntly, there is no shortcut when it comes to training your ability to defend yourself from distraction. Just like if I want to train you to dodge my punches, all I have to do is tell you the correct posture and let you get hit over and over again.
You've been hit so many times that your reaction is quicker. You'll instinctively dodge when I punch you."
Ye Li thought about it and realized that this was indeed what he meant. If he wanted to get used to controlling the spiritual energy in his fingertips to support his weight while controlling the spiritual energy for defense, he would have to practice more, constantly and repeatedly hone himself in pain, and naturally form a conditioned reflex.
"Okay, Fifth Grandpa, let's try again. I don't believe I can't do it. It's just a little bit of suffering, I can bear it."
Ye Li patted his chest to encourage himself, then turned over and stood upside down on the stalagmite.
Ye Wuming looked at his energetic appearance and couldn't help but smile and nodded.
… … … … … …
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Today is the last day of Ye Li's special training with Ye Wuming.
At this time, Ye Li was shirtless, standing upside down on the top of a thigh-high stalagmite. On his feet facing the sky, there was a huge stone half a person's height pressing down.
Ye Li, who is nearly eighteen years old, is already over 1.8 meters tall. His body is as strong as a monster without any excess fat, and his muscle lines are as clear as rock carvings.
During this month, he practiced under the scorching sun every day, and his skin had long turned bronze, which made him look more mature and resolute.
At this time, Ye Wuming was continuously firing stone bullets, attacking Ye Li from different directions. The speed of the stone bullets was so fast that it had reached the limit of this basic spell. It could be seen that Ye Wuming did not hold back.
However, all the stone bullets would encounter a palm-sized ball of solid spiritual energy the moment they approached Ye Li's body, blocking them outside.
Ye Wuming fired dozens of stone bullets but not a single one could hit Ye Li. All of them were perfectly blocked by him.
Ye Li's face was full of confidence at this moment. After going through a lot of hardships in this month, he finally mastered the distraction technique.
Ye Wuming's attack on him lasted for half an hour before stopping. Although Ye Li's face was sweating, there was no trace of fatigue in his eyes.
"That's enough, Xiao Yeli. Congratulations on completing all the training projects."
Ye Wuming looked at Ye Li's energetic appearance and an appreciative smile appeared on his face.
Ye Li bent his arms slightly, then suddenly pushed upwards with force, and his whole body, along with the heavy stones half a person's height on his feet, bounced up from the stalagmite.
Ye Li's strong body flipped in the air and landed steadily on the ground. Then he stretched out a finger and gently caught the falling huge rock.
After throwing the stone casually on the ground next to him, Ye Li looked at Ye Wuming with an eager expression on his face and said, "Fifth Grandpa, don't be in a hurry. We still have a game to play!"
Ye Wuming was slightly stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said: "Why, you still want to give it a try
Ye Hao never beat me in this game back then, but now, after so many years, I am much better at using spells than before, so it won’t be easy for you to beat me.”
Ye Li's expression became more and more excited, and he said, "Hey, I have been practicing during the day and practicing spells at night for the past month. I have made a breakthrough in spells in the past two days. Fifth Grandpa, do you want to try again?"
