Self-Created Soul Skills, Bibi Dong's Shock!

Wait—

Ignorant, incompetent, pitiful, pathetic—was that supposed to describe the Grandmaster?

Did the Yu Xiaogang he knew have anything to do with those words?

The boy's answer was completely beyond Bibi Dong's expectations.

That man was known as the person with the deepest research into martial souls. His theories enjoyed considerable renown in the Spirit Master World, and he came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Three Upper Sects. Though he had never been valued there, he had still enjoyed every benefit his family could offer.

Otherwise, what qualifications would someone who could not break through Rank 30 possibly have to come to Spirit Hall and meet her?

Now, even after leaving her, he had promptly gotten involved with her cousin, traveled the continent with his friend, and made quite a name for himself.

He was living an exceedingly carefree and glorious life.

"Sigh."

Though the little fellow's words gave her a faint sense of satisfaction, she still had to be objective.

Although Bibi Dong harbored some resentment toward the Grandmaster, setting aside her personal feelings, she did admire his theoretical abilities.

Strictly speaking, she herself had benefited from the Grandmaster's theories.

That had been one of the reasons she had developed favorable feelings toward that man with no future.

If Su Chen insisted on doing research, she would even have to show him the Grandmaster's theories.

"Little fellow, Yu Xiaogang's research is actually quite impressive. Although I do not want you studying martial soul theory, when it comes to such matters, there is probably no one in the Spirit Master World more proficient than him."

Bibi Dong sighed somewhat despondently.

"Think it over carefully. If you still want that, um, laboratory, I'll give you his notes."

Even as she spoke, His Holiness the Pope no longer held much hope.

Su Chen was unlike other children his age. He was a child with his own ideas, mature and resolute in thought. Once someone like him made a decision, they would not be easily influenced by others.

It seemed she could only slowly change his mind in the future.

Bibi Dong thought to herself.

However, to His Holiness the Pope's surprise, the boy merely smiled faintly. Instead of answering her directly, he asked her a question.

"Your Holiness, what do you think of my soul skills?"

Hmm?

What was this little fellow trying to say?

Though she was puzzled, Bibi Dong quickly gave her answer.

"Exquisite, unparalleled, perfect."

The youngest Titled Douluo in history gave him an exceptionally high evaluation.

Yet His Holiness the Pope believed the boy's First Soul Ring skill fully deserved it.

Whether it was that strange soul skill for escaping, the skill that increased speed, the one that could briefly increase his strength, or the powerful blue orb, all of them heralded the boy's extraordinary nature.

At that thought, Bibi Dong felt a little jealous. Even her hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring did not possess so many abilities!

"What if I told you..."

A mysterious smile appeared on the boy's face. Chakra surged as his purple Soul Ring shone with intense light. A powerful aura erupted in an instant, and translucent white energy flared and rose around his body.

Lin Dragon's Armor!

Without the Eight Inner Gates' energy concealing it, this enhancement soul skill revealed its original form for the first time.

"My soul skill has actually only ever been this one?"

Bibi Dong had been wondering why Su Chen had activated his soul skill. Upon hearing that, she froze for a moment, then her beautiful eyes widened abruptly. She rose to her feet and stared at the boy in disbelief. "What did you say?"

Perhaps because she had stood too abruptly and His Holiness the Pope was dressed somewhat casually, Su Chen inadvertently caught sight of two full breasts bouncing several times.

Do not look at indecency. Do not look at indecency.

The boy gave a dry cough and waved his hand, dismissing Lin Dragon's Armor. "As you can see, I have had only this one soul skill from the beginning."

That was perfectly reasonable.

A Thousand-Year Soul Ring truly should have only one soul skill.

But the problem was that the abilities the boy had displayed were far more than one!

"So those aren't soul skills. They're all..."

His Holiness the Pope's rosy lips seemed capable of fitting a cherry inside. She stared blankly at the boy, her beautiful eyes filled with unbelievable shock.

"Yes."

The white-haired boy nodded, took a deep breath, and circulated his Chakra.

Buzz!

The boy instantly flashed ten meters away.

"This move is called the Body Flicker Technique."

Bang!

Smoke rose up, and a stone replaced the boy's original position while he had already shifted to the right.

"This move is called the Substitution Technique."

Boom!!

Violent air currents surged upward. The flowers and grass in the courtyard trembled continuously in the wind as green energy wrapped around the boy's entire body. His hair stood on end, and a faint red hue appeared over his body.

"This move is called the Eight Inner Gates Formation."

Then, a rapidly spinning azure sphere swiftly formed in his hand, its churning energy emitting a soft hum.

"This is called the Rasengan. Your Holiness has seen it before."

Bibi Dong nodded subconsciously, but in the next moment, intense astonishment flashed through her wine-red eyes.

The boy took a deep breath and formed three strange hand signs.

Goat—Snake—Tiger.

Bang!

Smoke rose once more, but this time it was neither a stone nor a flower. Instead, a person identical to Su Chen appeared beside him.

"This move is called the Clone Technique."

Bibi Dong stared blankly at the figure whose aura was utterly indistinguishable from the boy's. She was feeling rather overwhelmed.

She had at least seen the previous abilities and had been mentally prepared for them, but this move truly overturned everything she knew.

It was not as though she had never seen soul skills involving disguise or clones, but those were all soul skills that required at least three Soul Rings, and the differences from the original body were obvious. Yet with Su Chen's Clone Technique, even she, a Titled Douluo, could not see the slightest difference.

Their auras and fluctuations were completely identical!

"That's right, just as you thought, Your Holiness. These are the results of my research—Self-Created Soul Skills that belong solely to me."

Self-Created Soul Skills?

"How could these possibly be Self-Created Soul Skills? How could there be such outrageous Self-Created Soul Skills?"

Only after a long while did Bibi Dong come back to herself. Taking a deep breath, she finally felt her chaotic thoughts clear slightly and could not help saying so.

It was not as though she had never seen Self-Created Soul Skills before. She had also heard of the immense power of the Clear Sky Sect's Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

But that was a crystallization of wisdom forged through the continuous inheritance and refinement of generation after generation in the Clear Sky Sect, through the combined efforts of several generations!

Yet here he was, only six years old, having researched so many terrifying Self-Created Soul Skills?

Even a monster had to have limits!!

If Su Chen's background had not been so spotless that there was nothing to uncover, Bibi Dong would have suspected that some old monster had entered a young boy's body.

"Your Holiness, have you ever truly understood your own body and martial soul?"

The boy clasped his hands behind his back and walked before her, his black eyes meeting hers directly.

Bibi Dong nodded subconsciously, then shook her head just as subconsciously.

"Within the human body, over 130 trillion cells provide energy. The extraordinary meridians and eight channels are responsible for absorbing and converting Soul Power, which is stored in the dantian before being absorbed by the martial soul and activated by Soul Rings."

"So here is the question."

"Does the Grandmaster know the shortest circulation route for Soul Power? Does he know which circulation method can absorb Soul Power more efficiently? Does he know what uses Soul Power has besides releasing soul skills?"

The confidence and fervor radiating from Su Chen at that moment filled her with an inexplicable sense of shock and reverence.

At that moment, she seemed to see an incomparably towering figure within that small body.

"Theory is important, but without practice, it is all a castle in the air. These are merely the preliminary results of my research. So tell me, does the Grandmaster have achievements like these?"

Bibi Dong was rendered speechless.

She sat weakly back down in her chair. She wanted to say something in the Grandmaster's defense, yet she could not utter a single word.

Bibi Dong now somewhat understood why the little fellow looked down on the Grandmaster.

What the boy had displayed was simply too astonishing.

With such profound understanding and research, Su Chen had clearly already developed his own style and put it into practice long ago.

The investigation reports had indeed mentioned that this child had liked tinkering with strange and unusual things since he was young. At first, Bibi Dong had thought it was merely a child playing around, but she had never expected...

Shaking her head, Bibi Dong was about to say something when her expression suddenly froze.

Wait.

If all of these were the results of the boy's research, did that not mean those abilities could all be replicated???

The Body Flicker Technique, Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, Rasengan, and even the Eight Inner Gates Formation—if her trusted subordinates could learn them as well...

His Holiness the Pope's breathing abruptly quickened. Her wine-red eyes fixed tightly upon Su Chen as though she were looking at an unparalleled treasure!

Looks like she took the bait.

The boy chuckled inwardly, but as he watched Bibi Dong's eyes grow brighter and brighter, he found himself unable to laugh.

Damn, didn't I oversell it, did I?
