Chapter 24: Meeting Ning Fengzhi
The next day after class, Yang Xiong immediately found Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong, I need to talk to you about something in private, I wonder if you have time now?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, "Xiao Xiong, did you find something good?"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Ning Rongrong quickly covered her mouth and looked around at the others. After a while, she nodded, "I have time, I have time."
The two of them walked to a secluded path, and after confirming that no one was around, Ning Rongrong spoke, "Xiao Xiong, you're quite perceptive. Do you have some secret to share with me?"
Yang Xiong hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Could you please take me to see Sect Master Ning? I have something I want to submit to the sect."
Ning Rongrong looked at him in confusion, "Can't you just give it to me? I can pass it to my father, it's the same."
Yang Xiong's expression turned serious, "This is something special, and I need to present it directly to the Sect Master. It's not something that should be revealed in front of others."
...
Ning Rongrong insisted that he just tell her, but Yang Xiong explained that it was too dangerous and concerned the sect's secrets, so it couldn't be easily leaked.
Finally, Ning Rongrong pouted, "Xiao Xiong, you're no fun. Do you want me to tell my dad that you're bullying me? Then you'll be in trouble."
Yang Xiong was speechless and took three steps back from her. He immediately gathered a massive amount of soul power in his hand, forming a light blue sphere, then slammed it into the ground. The ground instantly cracked, creating a pit about a meter in diameter.
This was a stone-paved surface, so the power of this move was clearly formidable.
Ning Rongrong looked at him in surprise, "Xiao Xiong, are you talking about this self-created soul skill? I didn't see you use a soul ring just now, can anyone use it?"
Yang Xiong nodded, "Yes, I call it the Spiral Sphere. Ordinary soul masters can learn it, but the process is quite complicated, and it's of great importance, which is why I need you to take me to see the Sect Master."
Ning Rongrong's expression became serious. Although she was the highest-ranked soul master in the class, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul naturally lacked offensive abilities, which was its greatest flaw and also the sect's greatest weakness. The self-created soul skill Yang Xiong had demonstrated seemed to have considerable power. If she could learn it, wouldn't she have offensive abilities?
"Xiao Xiong, why don't you teach me first? Then I can show it directly to my father."
Yang Xiong smiled bitterly, "Rongrong, I've spent years learning this technique, and the process is quite complex. It requires a high level of soul power control, which is why I want to see the Sect Master directly."
"Also, to learn this skill, you need to have reached the level of the Five-Aperture Open Heart in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Distraction Control. Otherwise, it's impossible to cultivate."
"And since I have the Sect Master's token, I can request an audience with him directly. I'm only telling you beforehand because you're my classmate."
Ning Rongrong didn't argue any longer, "Let's go, I'll take you to see my dad."
A short while later, led by Ning Rongrong, Yang Xiong arrived at the core of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but it was not the place where Ning Fengzhi had called him before.
The two of them arrived at a very luxurious villa. The entire villa was exquisitely designed, grand and majestic, resembling a fairyland. Even a simple stone in the villa was quite valuable.
"This is my house. My dad and Grandpa Jian, Grandpa Gu should be waiting for me for dinner. You can meet them too."
Yang Xiong was surprised but didn't say anything further.
Not long later, they entered the splendid hall of Ning Rongrong's home, where Elder Jian and Bone Douluo were already seated at the dining table, but the food had not yet been served.
Upon seeing the three prominent figures of the sect, Yang Xiong quickly bowed, "Greetings, Sect Master, Elder Jian, Elder Bone."
Elder Jian only looked at Ning Rongrong with affection, seemingly ignoring Yang Xiong's arrival.
However, Ning Fengzhi smiled warmly, "Yang Xiong, this seems to be your first time coming to our house with Rongrong. Treat it like your own home, feel free to come over and visit more often."
Yang Xiong felt a bit awkward at this, as these top figures were a bit too much to deal with.
Ning Rongrong showed a small hint of pride, "Dad, I have good news. Xiao Xiong has something to submit to the sect, so I brought him here."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi smiled, pleased. After Yang Xiong had reported the discovery of the whale glue, the sect's overall strength had improved. To think that he had something else to report so soon.
"Yang Xiong, did you discover something like whale glue? Don't worry, the sect will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Yang Xiong replied, "Sect Master, over the past few years, I have developed a self-created soul skill that ordinary soul masters can cultivate. It might be helpful to the sect."
Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and Elder Jian all showed a hint of disappointment. As the top experts in the soul master world, especially with the Seven Kill Sword Technique of Elder Jian being considered the strongest, they couldn't imagine a ten-year-old child creating a soul skill that could be impressive or helpful to the sect.
Bone Douluo's expression darkened, "Yang Xiong, you're still young. This is the golden time to improve your soul power. You don't need to be so fixated on self-created soul skills. Instead of wasting time on it, you should focus on increasing your soul power."
Yang Xiong quickly responded, "Thank you, Elder Bone, for the advice. This self-created soul skill of mine is quite special. Even auxiliary soul masters can use it."
The group looked surprised, especially Ning Fengzhi, whose expression became serious. "Yang Xiong, are you serious? Even auxiliary soul masters can use it?"
Yang Xiong nodded, "Yes, although it's somewhat difficult and requires fine control of soul power, auxiliary soul masters can learn it. In fact, any soul master could potentially learn it."
"Could the Sect Master allow me to demonstrate?"
Bone Douluo moved in an instant and appeared right in front of Yang Xiong. "With me here, you can demonstrate it to me. Use your self-created soul skill to attack me. I want to see the power of your self-created soul skill."
Yang Xiong didn't hesitate. He quickly gathered a light blue sphere in his hand and, with a rapid tearing sound, launched the Spiral Sphere at Bone Douluo with all his strength.
Bone Douluo's body seemed to be enveloped in a layer of energy. The Spiral Sphere that Yang Xiong launched encountered resistance and couldn't move forward.
But the soul power rotating inside the Spiral Sphere moved at an incredible speed and broke through the layer of energy surrounding Bone Douluo. The attack struck Bone Douluo's chest, but he only slightly trembled and then showed no further reaction.
Yang Xiong knew very well that Bone Douluo had probably used soul power equivalent to a Soul Venerable or Great Soul Master's level. With Bone Douluo's titled Douluo strength and physical resilience, Yang Xiong wouldn't have been able to get close to him.
The room instantly fell silent. It was so quiet that the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
