Chapter 239: Self-Created Soul Skill
Hu Liena took the jade vial that was thrown to her, feeling a mix of emotions. Her rebellious nature made her really want to confront Tang San, but her rational side told her that anyone whom both her teacher and this Ning Gongzi had repeatedly warned her about was definitely not someone easy to deal with.
"Thank you, Ning Gongzi. I'll take my leave now."
Without doubting the effectiveness of the pills Ning Bei had given her, Hu Liena directly placed the jade vial into her soul guide device, cupped her hands, and prepared to leave.
"You should understand the rules of the Killing City, right? Soul skills are prohibited there, meaning your charm skills will be basically useless."
Hu Liena nodded seriously. Her life was at stake, so she couldn't afford to be careless.
"I understand, but I must go. Otherwise..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but her gaze flickered toward the three women next to Ning Bei. The meaning was clear—she couldn't accept being left behind by them.
"Do you think your attacking skills are sufficient?"
Looking at the silent little fox, Ning Bei smiled. He had never seen such a reckless woman.
"Are you seriously joking with your life, relying only on your hot blood? If you truly want to die, I could give you a quick end right now, save you the trouble of running all the way to the Killing City."
The three women behind Ning Bei looked at Hu Liena with changed expressions. While they didn't understand the dangers of the Killing City, seeing Ning Bei so wary of it made it clear that it was no ordinary place.
Hu Liena lowered her head, her fists clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms.
Not wanting to continue paying attention to the little fox, Ning Bei turned to the three women beside him and, seemingly deliberately, spoke up:
"Let's go. I'll teach you a self-created soul skill."
"What self-created soul skill? Can I learn it too?"
When Ning Rongrong heard her brother's words, she instantly became interested. As a support type, she was eager to improve.
Watching the four of them walk away, Hu Liena's eyes flickered, and after murmuring a few words to herself, she quietly followed them.
In the Seven Treasure Forest, Ning Bei stopped at a tree with the three women. He sensed the little fox following behind them, and a smile curved on his lips.
"The soul skill I'm going to teach you is called the Spiraling Sphere. It's something I've developed recently."
After reaching the rank of Title Douluo, Ning Bei's control over his soul power allowed him to easily master this move. He released his soul power from his palm, making it spin rapidly and irregularly, then controlled it into a ball shape before releasing it.
Looking at the faint blue sphere that formed in Ning Bei's hand, the three women's eyes lit up. From just looking at it, they could tell this soul skill was formidable.
Ning Bei smiled and pressed the Spiraling Sphere against a nearby large tree.
"Boom!" "Crack!"
The explosion and the sound of the tree breaking echoed through the air. The three women watched in awe as the massive tree, which had been large enough for the four of them to encircle, was snapped in half. Their eyes were filled with excitement.
"Brother, can I really learn this move?"
"Why not? As long as you have soul power, you can learn it."
"Great! Hurry, hurry, brother, teach me! Once I learn this, I won't just be working for others anymore."
Not only Ning Rongrong but also Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were excited about the move. Even the little fox, who had been hiding in the shadows, looked on with gleaming eyes. Since Ning Bei hadn't driven her away, she must be able to learn it too.
"Wait for me a moment."
Ning Bei flew off, and a few minutes later, he returned with a large bag of balloons, which he threw in front of the four women.
"Fill these balloons with water, then bring them back."
"This is easy!"
Ning Rongrong didn't bother with the balloons on the ground and instead ran back to the sect to bring Nami with her.
"Hurry, hurry, Nami, fill all these balloons with water! We're learning a self-created soul skill!"
Nami glanced at her teacher in confusion. After seeing him nod, she began the task.
Ten minutes later, all the water balloons were ready, and everyone's gaze returned to Ning Bei.
Ning Bei picked up a water balloon and, using his soul power, made the water inside spin rapidly until the balloon burst. He then explained:
"This is the first stage of learning this move. Use your soul power to make the water inside the balloon spin rapidly, causing the balloon to naturally burst. When you can do this multiple times in a row, you've completed this stage."
The four women immediately began practicing with the water balloons.
Hiding behind a nearby tree, Hu Liena felt like ants were crawling on her skin. She tried stepping out several times but hesitated, feeling a bit embarrassed. She wanted to join in the practice but wasn't sure how to approach it.
Ning Bei, of course, noticed Hu Liena's movements and, with a playful tone, shouted:
"Miss over there, hiding behind the tree, if you want to learn, come out and practice with us!"
Hu Liena shuddered, glanced at her exposed figure behind the tree, and her face turned red. After a moment of hesitation, she slowly walked over to join the others.
"Thank you!"
Hu Liena thanked them and hurriedly picked up a water balloon to practice with the others.
For a moment, the five women were all blushing, looking frustrated as they struggled to perform the move. Ning Bei couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you all holding your breath? Just control the soul power to make it spin. You don't need to put in too much strength. This soul skill has nothing to do with physical power."
The women awkwardly laughed and then, after taking a deep breath, focused on controlling their soul power.
To Ning Bei's surprise, Nami was the fastest to pick it up. Perhaps because the water in the balloon made it easier, after just a few minutes, she had made the water inside spin rapidly, though it still wasn't enough to burst the balloon.
Xiao Wu and Hu Liena weren't far behind either. The water in their balloons also started to spin intermittently. Soon, they would reach Nami's level.
However, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were a bit frustrating to watch. They kept pumping soul power into the water balloons but didn't know how to apply the rotation. In just this short time, dozens of balloons had already burst in their hands.
"Slap!"
"Ah!!!!!! This is too hard! Brother, teach me quickly!"
After bursting yet another water balloon, Ning Rongrong frantically scratched her head, looking at her brother with a frustrated expression.
Ning Bei shook his head helplessly. This was a typical example of someone who had never thought about using soul power in different ways.
Before Ning Bei could offer guidance, Xiao Wu was the first to laugh.
"Haha, Rongrong, you're so silly! This is so easy, isn't it?"
Ning Rongrong looked at the water balloons in the hands of her friends, which were already spinning rapidly. She stomped her foot angrily and, with a cold hum, continued practicing without letting her brother help her. She looked determined not to let herself be weaker than the others.
Half an hour later, Nami successfully burst her first water balloon, looking at her master with a happy expression.
"Nami, good job. Keep going."
"Yes, Master!"
Nami's success inspired the others, and they practiced even harder.
Before long, Ning Rongrong had also figured out the trick. The water in her balloon started to spin slowly, and a smile of excitement appeared on her face.
Only Zhu Zhuqing was still struggling. She kept releasing soul power, but accidentally pierced the balloon, and her face scrunched up in frustration.
