Can the First Soul Skill Be Developed Further? (Please Add to Favorites!!!)

The opposing side's tactics differed somewhat from what Yu Tianheng and the other three had expected.

But it was not a major issue.

Since it was Su Wen charging at him, Yu Tianheng did not hesitate in the slightest.

However, as Su Wen and Yu Tianheng were about to clash head-on, Yu Feng merely circled in the air without truly launching an attack, preventing Dugu Yan from tying him down.

His task in this battle was to stop Su Wen if he attempted to wear them down from the air.

Now that Su Wen had come straight at Yu Tianheng, both Yu Tianheng and Yu Feng assumed that Su Wen intended to use the same method again—taking off and swiftly launching a surprise attack on their side.

But this time, they were wrong.

The flames around Su Wen's right fist compressed madly, and the feeling of an imminent explosion could no longer be contained.

"First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Tianheng did not use all his soul skills from the start, only probing Su Wen with his First Soul Skill.

"Flame Fist!"

Su Wen threw a punch.

A dense white glow nourished his right fist from within, rapidly healing the injuries caused by the flames.

Enduring the pain, Su Wen forcibly incorporated his understanding of flame compression and explosive force into the technique of Flame Fist, unleashing the true Flame Fist.

Boom!

"That's Xiao Zhan's Flame Fist." Qin Ming, who was watching the battle, was also startled. He had not expected Su Wen to have already learned Xiao Zhan's Flame Fist.

It was no less than gaining another soul skill of the same level.

For a Soul Grandmaster, it was absolutely comparable to a hundred-year soul skill, perhaps even a thousand-year Power Attack System soul skill.

"Judging by Xiao Wen's condition, he probably can't use it freely. This move puts a heavy burden on him."

Qin Ming quickly saw through the truth.

Ye Lingling kept her soul skill active throughout, casting it on Su Wen. Clearly, she was healing him at full strength every moment.

Boom!

Su Wen's fist collided with Yu Tianheng's claw. Thunder Power and explosive flames erupted, producing a deafening roar.

A powerful current of air burst from Su Wen's fist. At the instant the flames and lightning exploded, it formed a horizontal cone with his fist as its tip, separating him from most of the fire and Thunder Power.

"Hahaha, good!" Yu Tianheng's eyes lit up. He laughed and once again formed Thunder Dragon Claw as he clashed with Su Wen.

Su Wen gathered flames around both fists and engaged Yu Tianheng in close combat.

"Is that a Self-Created Soul Skill?" Osler and Yu Feng stared in shock, never expecting Su Wen to erupt with such power.

They could still regard the paper wings, fireballs, and wind blades Su Wen had displayed before as developments of his soul skills. But Flame Fist was clearly more than that—it had to be a Self-Created Soul Skill that soul masters could cultivate on their own after birth.

"It's not weaker than a Soul Elder's hundred-year soul skill at all. By that calculation, Su Wen effectively has two hundred-year soul skills and one thousand-year soul skill. The only thing separating him from a true Soul Elder is his total Soul Power."

And when it came to total Soul Power, Su Wen possessed an absurd recovery speed.

Both Yu Feng and Osler felt their teeth ache. It seemed that Su Wen could already truly be treated as a Soul Elder.

And Su Wen was only eleven years old!

Seeing that Su Wen had not fallen into an obvious disadvantage in his clash with Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan was surprised, but she did not forget to proceed according to the original plan.

Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison spread.

On the training ground, Su Wen was locked in battle with Yu Tianheng.

Meanwhile, Dugu Yan, Shi Mo, and Ye Lingling fought Osler, Yu Feng, and Shi Mo.

With Dugu Yan, a Control System soul master, present, and Shi Mo protecting Ye Lingling throughout, Osler and Yu Feng were restrained the entire time and were swiftly defeated.

Within the Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team, Yu Tianheng was the captain and unquestionably their strongest combatant. Dugu Yan was the vice-captain. Though her frontal combat ability was inferior to Yu Tianheng's, she was the core of the entire team.

Coupled with the Control System's advantage over the Agility Attack System, she found it fairly easy to deal with Osler and Yu Feng.

The only one who was not having an easy time was Su Wen.

"Tianheng, you've lost." Dugu Yan, Shi Mo, and Su Wen surrounded Yu Tianheng from three directions as Dugu Yan pronounced his defeat.

Three against one—no, Ye Lingling was providing them with healing too. How could he lose a four-against-one?

Could they all somehow be killed in return?

Although Dugu Yan and Shi Mo were not in great condition, with no serious injuries but massive Soul Power consumption, Yu Tianheng had also expended a great deal.

Su Wen had forced him to use his Third Soul Skill!

"Sigh, I never expected your frontal combat ability to be this outstanding, Su Wen." Yu Tianheng gave up struggling and said with a bitter smile.

Su Wen, a level-twenty-three Soul Grandmaster, had held off him, a level-thirty-three Soul Elder, for over ten minutes!

Su Wen did not speak. He rested for a long while, only opening his mouth after the pain in his body eased somewhat beneath Ye Lingling's continuous purple glow.

"I was only able to unleash that move with Senior Lingling's healing."

In truth, it was the cooperation between Su Wen and Ye Lingling that had held Yu Tianheng off for ten minutes.

"You just used Teacher Xiao Zhan's Flame Fist, didn't you? I never expected you to grasp its techniques at only level twenty-three." Yu Tianheng sighed.

Fire Demon Xiao Zhan's self-created Fire Demon Style soul skills were highly renowned. Many in the Soul Master World wished to learn them. Xiao Zhan also had several Heaven Dou-level students under him, each possessing fire-element control-type soul skills, yet none had mastered even Flame Fist, just one of the combat techniques within the Fire Demon Style.

Self-Created Soul Skills could be learned later without relying on soul rings, and they could be passed down as well, but inheriting them was no easy task.

Qin Ming gave his final summary, then had the eight of them go off to cultivate on their own.

Returning to the library, Su Wen sat cross-legged in meditation, circulating his Internal Energy while reflecting on the two battles from today.

"Using the Wind Element to stir up the fire element really does unleash greater power."

Su Wen had long considered combining the two elements of wind and fire to refine Flame Fist. Today, under Ye Lingling's healing and through his head-on clash with Yu Tianheng, he had succeeded in attempting it directly under pressure.

The gains could not have been greater.

"Using the Wind Element to stir up fire energy and enhance explosive damage is only one application. I can also combine wind with flames to unleash a fire tornado. That would be a long-range offensive method."

As these thoughts continuously ran through his mind and he considered the techniques that might be needed, Su Wen's Soul Power steadily increased bit by bit as it circulated.

"Besides, my First Soul Skill seems to have further potential to be developed."

Previously, Su Wen had only regarded his First Soul Skill as a strengthening-type soul skill. But now, he realized that it still had room to be explored.

"The strengthening ability of my First Soul Skill may not only apply to my Martial Soul."

Star Fruit Tree, Star Fruit.

Thinking of the source of his First Soul Ring, combined with the sensation of unconsciously merging pages into his fists during today's battle, Su Wen formed an idea.

"Perhaps my pages can also merge into a target and strengthen it."

Just like how the Star Fruit Tree bore Star Fruit, strengthening the soul beasts that consumed it.

If it worked, that would be wonderful.

"My First Soul Skill could truly be considered an auxiliary soul skill."
