Compressing Soul Power, Self-Created Soul Skill!

After letting Tang San leave Notting Academy to register as a Spirit Master at the Spirit Hall Branch, Tang Yin turned around, preparing to head to the back mountain to cultivate.

Because of the spirit power brought by the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Tang Yin's cultivation had broken through directly to level twenty!

This was good news.

However, since he could not ask the academy for help in hunting for a second spirit ring, Tang Yin felt a bit of a headache.

Although, according to a certain spirit theory that Gangzi had plagiarized from Martial Soul Hall, even if a Spirit Master continued to cultivate after reaching a bottleneck, they would still generate spirit power.

It was just that the generated spirit power would accumulate within the body, temporarily unable to manifest.

It would only manifest once they absorbed a spirit ring and made a breakthrough.

Therefore, his continued cultivation would not have any negative impact.

But cultivating Tang Sect peerless arts like Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eye was Tang Yin's daily task, so he naturally would not slack off.

But besides cultivation, what should he do with his remaining time?

Although he had already made plans before hunting for his first spirit ring, intending to choose a lightning attribute, he had already formed an idea.

If he obtained a lightning-attribute first spirit skill, he would attempt to use it as a foundation to create a Self-Created Soul Skill.

For example: a frequent guest in the fantasy novels of his past life, Thunder Body Tempering!

Thunder Body Tempering, combined with the second spirit bone skill of the fused 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone: "Wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze brings it back to life!"

It would certainly be able to rapidly improve his physical fitness!

Beyond that, Tang Yin also planned to develop at least one long-range and one close-quarters Self-Created Soul Skill based on his first spirit skill to perfect his offensive methods.

And because he had also learned a host of Tang Sect peerless arts, such as Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Mysterious Jade Body, and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, he also had ideas regarding movement techniques.

When the time came, he could integrate them with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

As for Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Tang Yin also thought about utilizing his first spirit skill to develop a Self-Created Soul Skill that could stack and produce a synergistic effect!

Regarding his cultivation breaking through to level twenty ahead of schedule, Tang Yin quickly thought of a way to improve his strength while his level remained at twenty.

That was to compress his spirit power!

In Tang Yin's view, his cultivation level was simply the volume of spirit power his dantian could contain.

Since the volume was constant and could not be changed for the time being, if he wanted to improve the quality of his spirit power and enhance his cultivation, he naturally had to increase its density!

In other words, he had to compress his spirit power!

Because his second martial soul was the Purple Demon Eye, Tang Yin felt it should be of the spirit attribute.

Regardless, he was already able to achieve photographic memory, and he could clearly feel that his control over himself was quite good, and his perception was extremely keen.

Coupled with the physical strengthening brought by the fusion of the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Tang Yin felt he could fully compress the Mysterious Heaven Skill internal energy within his body.

Thereby improving his strength!

From then on, Tang Yin spent his time at Notting Academy studying in the morning and taking time to read books in the library in the afternoon.

The rest of his time was partly spent with Tang San refining beauty-enhancing potions and those... "stimulating" potions.

The other large portion was used to compress his spirit power and develop his Self-Created Soul Skills.

Because he possessed the second martial soul, Purple Demon Eye, Tang Yin was also a spirit-attribute Spirit Master, and his mental power was naturally stronger than other Spirit Masters.

On top of that, the previous fusion of the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone had strengthened his physical fitness and also brought a significant boost to his second martial soul, Purple Demon Eye.

Furthermore, when he channeled his martial soul, Purple Demon Eye, and then unleashed the Purple Demon Eye technique, the dual stacking allowed Tang Yin's mental power and self-control to increase even further!

Therefore, in less than three months, Tang Yin had successfully compressed the level twenty spirit power in his body continuously several times, reaching the current limit his body could withstand.

On the other side, regarding his Self-Created Soul Skills, Tang Yin's progress was also very smooth.

As a transmigrator, Tang Yin naturally had an amazing imagination.

He had various cultivation techniques, martial arts, and secret methods from the novels and anime of his past life that he could use as references.

Furthermore, Tang Yin had fused with the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, granting him a second soul bone skill: "Wildfire Cannot Destroy, Spring Wind Blows Again," which provided a powerful regenerative ability capable of regrowing severed limbs.

This allowed Tang Yin to go all out when creating his own self-created soul skills.

Even if he accidentally sustained internal injuries during the process of developing these skills, it mattered little.

With the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and its second soul bone skill, "Wildfire Cannot Destroy, Spring Wind Blows Again," Tang Yin would be fully recovered and back to his vigorous self within a few days.

Consequently, over the past year or so, Tang Yin had successfully created three self-created soul skills: Palm Thunder, Bullet Fist, and Thunder Flash.

Among them, Palm Thunder involved compressing and condensing the lightning power generated by his first soul skill, Mysterious Jade Divine Thunder Arm, within his palm before releasing it for an attack.

What left his hand was not scattered electricity, but a compressed sphere of lightning with power comparable to a grenade and even greater piercing capabilities.

With an effective attack range of over ten zhang, it was currently his strongest long-range single-target attack method.

Bullet Fist, on the other hand, was a technique of fisticuffs.

When executed, the lightning on the Mysterious Jade Divine Thunder Arm was not used for direct attack; instead, it circulated rapidly through specific meridians and acupoints in the arm along an incredibly precise trajectory to form a powerful electromagnetic field.

This magnetic field would repel the Earth's magnetic field, granting his fist explosive acceleration the moment he threw a punch.

This caused the speed and impact of the punch to multiply instantly, much like a bullet leaving a barrel.

Hence the name: Bullet Fist!

Combined with his martial soul, the Mysterious Jade Arm, and the added hardness from the Tang Sect's peerless Mysterious Jade Hand, the power was astonishing.

As for Thunder Flash, it was a movement technique.

Its principle was similar to Bullet Fist but far more complex.

It involved using lightning power to stimulate the muscles and acupoints of his legs, circulating it rapidly through specific meridians to form a powerful electromagnetic field that repelled the Earth's magnetic field.

This allowed for incredible bursts of acceleration, sudden stops, or changes in direction in an instant.

However, Tang Yin was currently unable to perfectly integrate "Thunder Flash" with the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track footwork to use it seamlessly throughout a fight.

He could only overlay the two during critical moments of explosive acceleration, emergency dodging, or sudden changes in direction.

Even so, in Tang Yin's view, it was already powerful enough!

If accelerating in a straight line, he feared his speed would surpass even agility-type soul masters several realms higher than him.

On the other side, leveraging the connections of Xiao Chenyu, the beauty-enhancing drug "Goddess Tears" and the virility-boosting "Dragon Tiger Pill" that Tang Yin had Tang San refine became a massive hit among the noble circles of Nuoding City and its surrounding areas.

In just over a year, they had generated a terrifying profit of over 500,000 Gold Soul Coins!

Tang Yin used the majority of this money to purchase spiritual herbs, soul power-infused food made by food-type soul masters, as well as soul beast meat and medicinal plant diets to enhance his cultivation and training speed.

Using the refinement of Dragon Tiger Pills as a pretext, Tang Yin also purchased large quantities of Whale Rubber.

In the end, both brothers consumed it to improve their physical constitutions.

Because consuming Whale Rubber came with the side effect of intense internal heat, Tang San specifically researched and formulated auxiliary medicines using cold-natured herbs like the Cinnabar Lotus to neutralize the heat.

Under the long-term nourishment of large quantities of high-quality Whale Rubber, the physical constitutions of Tang Yin and Tang San grew stronger by the day.

The most intuitive manifestation of this was their height.

In just over a year, Tang Yin's already outstanding physique had shot up to just over 1.7 meters, with broad shoulders, long legs, ape-like arms, and a wasp-like waist. Coupled with his striking short blue-silver hair and handsome features, he was a head-turner whenever he walked through the academy.

Tang San had also grown to over 1.6 meters, his frame becoming well-proportioned and sturdy, gradually shedding his childhood youthfulness; he was on the verge of catching up to Wang Sheng.

Beyond that, with the vast sums of money earned, Tang Yin also had Tang San purchase materials to forge hidden weapons.

Given their current lack of strength, hidden weapons were their trump cards for self-preservation, and they had to be forged in abundance!

The more powerful, the better!

Over this past year, Tang San had successively forged the Sleeve Arrow, the Sand-Shooting Shadow, and the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.

As for the Willow Leaf Blades, Coin Darts, Bone-Piercing Nails... those went without saying!

However, to forge higher-tier hidden weapons, one required top-tier materials, such as Deep Sea Sunken Silver.

But with their current status and financial resources, Tang Yin and Tang San had no channels to acquire such special metals.

As for Hair Gold, there were no opportunities to stumble upon it, so they had to give up on that.

Otherwise, if they used Hair Gold to forge arrows and coated the tips with deadly poison, the power of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow would be even more formidable!
