Chapter 25: Contributing the Self-Created Soul Skill
With Bone Douluo's strength, even ordinary Great Soul Masters would find it impossible to get close to him. Even soul skills used in actual combat wouldn't have any effect on his formidable defense. However, Yang Xiong's self-created soul skill was able to reach him and even cause his body to tremble, which clearly showed the power of the skill.
Ning Fengzhi's expression turned extremely serious, and even Elder Jian, who usually had no expression, showed a slight hint of surprise.
"Uncle Gu, what do you think of this self-created soul skill? How strong is it?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
Bone Douluo nodded slightly, "The power is quite impressive. It should be stronger than a typical thousand-year soul skill, but Yang Xiong's soul power is still too weak, so he can probably only use it barely."
After speaking, Bone Douluo took something out of his possession. It was a piece of wood, about three meters wide and two meters long, resembling a tree trunk. Yang Xiong recognized it immediately as iron fir wood, one of the hardest types of wood.
"Yang Xiong, use your earlier move on this iron fir wood, and I'll observe it more carefully."
Without hesitation, Yang Xiong gathered the Spiral Sphere again and hit it against the iron fir wood. Instantly, a large hole about half a meter in diameter appeared on the surface of the wood, and the backside was completely shattered. Countless wood shavings quickly flew around the room, showing the overwhelming power of this move.
Bone Douluo snorted coldly, and all the flying wood shavings were instantly pressed to the ground and quickly collected, as if they had never been there.
Ning Fengzhi and the others finally paid attention to the large hole on the iron fir wood. The front had a hole about half a meter wide, and there was a small hole in the center. The wood behind it had been shattered to pieces, clearly indicating that the power of this move was even greater than they had imagined.
Ning Fengzhi looked seriously at Elder Jian and Bone Douluo, "Elder Jian, Uncle Gu, what do you think?"
Elder Jian rarely nodded, "If this self-created soul skill can be used by the soul masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, then it would definitely be the greatest discovery in the history of our sect. It might even compensate for the shortcomings of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
The greatest problem of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is that the Sect Master has no offensive ability, and even lacks self-defense capability. Therefore, every time he goes out, he needs a Titled Douluo to follow him. In battle, the Titled Douluos must protect Ning Fengzhi closely, which seriously limits the full use of the two Titled Douluos' power.
In the original story, when the Spirit Hall sent four Titled Douluos and ten thousand soul masters to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Ning Fengzhi and the others would have been completely unafraid of the four Titled Douluos, but the ten thousand soul masters relentlessly attacked Ning Fengzhi, which caused Bone Douluo to be restricted. If Ning Fengzhi had the ability to defend and attack, the situation wouldn't have been so dire.
This was also one of the reasons Yang Xiong decided to offer the Spiral Sphere to the sect.
Ning Fengzhi appeared somewhat excited, "Yang Xiong, I'll still call you Xiao Xiong. Xiao Xiong, can this self-created soul skill really be cultivated by any soul master?"
Yang Xiong didn't hesitate. He pulled out a thick stack of papers from his possession, which detailed the entire process of cultivating the Spiral Sphere, including the specific requirements for soul power and mental control.
Ning Fengzhi and the others looked at the cultivation steps for the Spiral Sphere, and their faces were filled with awe. They never expected that after so many generations, the problem that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had never been able to solve was so easily addressed by Yang Xiong. Furthermore, this self-created soul skill seemed to have infinite potential, and as Yang Xiong's soul power increased, its power would only grow.
Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed, "Xiao Xiong, you've made such a great contribution to the sect. Do you need any reward? As long as you ask, the sect will make it happen."
Ning Fengzhi's words carried significant weight. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was one of the richest sects in the world, and even the most precious soul bones were not in short supply.
Yang Xiong thought for a moment before speaking, "Sect Master, I believe I've already completed the development of the Spiral Sphere, but I think it's only a prototype. If I can infuse elemental energy into it, the power might increase. However, I've only reached the Five-Aperture Open Heart in Distraction Control, and I'd like to learn the final two layers of Distraction Control."
Ning Fengzhi smiled, "Xiao Xiong, you are already an inner sect disciple. All inner sect disciples have the right to learn Distraction Control. The five layers in the library are kept secret to prevent leaks, but the final two layers are passed down orally, so it's not much of a request."
"Since you and Rongrong are classmates and have a good relationship, I'll have Rongrong personally teach you the last two layers. At the same time, you can teach Rongrong the Spiral Sphere."
Yang Xiong couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Ning Fengzhi, where did you get the idea that I have a good relationship with Rongrong? I'd rather avoid this little devil."
"Sect Master, although the difficulty of developing the Spiral Sphere isn't complicated, it requires a high level of control over soul power and mental control. It can barely be cultivated by reaching the Five-Aperture Open Heart, and it consumes a lot of soul power. Right now, I can only use it three times within half an hour. Therefore, I don't recommend that soul masters below the Soul Sect level cultivate it, as it may affect the auxiliary abilities of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul masters."
"Moreover, my Martial Soul is quite different from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, so it's better to have someone verify it first. After all, it was developed by me alone."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, "Xiao Xiong, you're thoughtful. I'll arrange for someone to verify it as soon as possible. Do you have any other requests? Perhaps something like a treasure or gold soul coins?"
Yang Xiong thought for a moment before responding, "I have two small requests, and I hope the Sect Master can grant them."
Ning Fengzhi said, "Whatever your requests are, feel free to ask. The sect will not treat anyone who contributes poorly."
Yang Xiong said, "Sect Master, the Spiral Sphere is something I developed on my own. I'm offering it to the sect because I consider it my home. I hope the sect will not leak the Spiral Sphere technique, nor should it be known that I developed it."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, "You can rest assured, Xiao Xiong. From now on, the Spiral Sphere will be a secret of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Only those absolutely trustworthy will be allowed to learn it, and the sect will ensure your safety."
"What's your second request? It wouldn't be something so simple again, would it?"
Yang Xiong thought for a moment before speaking, "Sect Master, I enjoy researching herbs. Could I be rewarded with a soul guide capable of storing living creatures? I know these are rare, so if it's not possible, then forget it."
Ning Fengzhi smiled, "Xiao Xiong, you think too much. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the richest sect in the world. We just happen to have one of those soul guides for storing living creatures. I'll have Rongrong deliver it to you."
"By the way, is that all? Don't you know how valuable the Spiral Sphere is to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
Yang Xiong replied, "Sect Master, I feel very comfortable in the sect, and I've always considered it my home. I don't need any other rewards."
