Tang San and the Rogue Rabbit

[Ding~ Self-Created Soul Skills must be grounded in reality. The success rate of pure fantasy is extremely low. Host, please create Soul Skills through methods such as observing existing abilities, understanding their operating principles, and boldly deducing and innovating.]

The system quickly replied to Su Mo.

It did not answer whether it was possible, but instead told Su Mo how to create a Soul Skill.

In other words, it was possible. Condensing a Soul Ring also counted as a Soul Skill, a secret technique, a cultivation method.

"Pure fantasy has an extremely low success rate. So it wants me to observe existing Soul Rings and create my own based on them?"

"That won't be difficult. The academy teachers are all Soul Masters, so finding one to observe shouldn't be a problem."

Su Mo smiled inwardly.

After learning that he had a chance to create his own Soul Ring, Su Mo finally relaxed.

If he could create Soul Rings, he could break through his realm and continue cultivating.

Unlike other Soul Masters, who were destined to be unable to break through.

With that thought, Su Mo's gaze swept over the other work-study students in the dormitory.

Most of the other students in the work-study dormitory were already fast asleep. Only Tang San, who shared a bed with Xiao Wu, was still cultivating like Su Mo.

Lying beside Tang San was Xiao Wu, that Rogue Rabbit.

Though the two shared the same blanket, there was a clear boundary between them. For now, the Rogue Rabbit had not tried anything improper with Tang San.

Su Mo's gaze lingered on the Rogue Rabbit for a moment longer.

He had not forgotten what the system had said when it awakened: aside from Soul Beasts that had transformed into humans, all Soul Beasts had gone extinct.

Judging by the Rogue Rabbit's sleeping face, she seemed completely unaware of it all.

He wondered what expression she would make when she learned that her clan, along with Da Ming and Er Ming, were all dead.

Tang San and the Rogue Rabbit were both first-year students who had joined Nuoding Academy only this year.

Several days had already passed since the start of term, and both of them had become One-Ring Soul Masters.

Tang San had obtained his Soul Ring when Gang Zi took him to hunt in the Soul Hunting Forest, while the Rogue Rabbit had condensed hers herself.

"Wait..."

As Su Mo suddenly thought of something, his gaze remained fixed on the Rogue Rabbit.

Wasn't the Rogue Rabbit's Soul Ring a kind of Self-Created Soul Ring?

She did not need to kill a Soul Beast. She had condensed it through her own power.

If he could learn how the Rogue Rabbit condensed her own Soul Ring, then perhaps he could use the system to create a Soul Ring of his own?

Whoosh~

At that moment, perhaps because Su Mo had been staring in that direction for too long, Tang San abruptly opened his eyes during cultivation and looked at him.

After noticing Tang San's gaze, Su Mo withdrew his eyes and resumed cultivating.

He could already feel it. At tonight's cultivation speed, he would be able to break through to level 10 tonight.

Then, he could try creating his own Soul Ring.

Buzz—

As Su Mo continued cultivating, he discovered that his cultivation speed was still several times faster than before.

His Meditation Method had not changed. Rather, the Soul Power in the air had become denser and easier to absorb.

"Could it be because the Soul Beasts went extinct, causing their Soul Power to return to heaven and earth?"

Su Mo immediately formed a guess.

Then it seemed that as long as the Soul Ring problem could be solved, the future era might become the best of times!

At least, it would be for someone with Innate Soul Power Rank 2 like him.

It would also be an absolute boon for those Titled Douluo!

After all, they no longer needed Soul Rings. Soul Beast Extinction had nothing to do with them.

Deep within Spirit Hall, inside the Worship Hall.

Vast Soul Power flowed through the grand hall as though it were tangible. Several Peak Douluo who had been cultivating cross-legged opened their eyes almost simultaneously, uncontrollable delight bursting from their gazes.

"What's going on?"

Mighty Lion Douluo shot to his feet, his voice trembling with disbelief. "This old man's cultivation speed suddenly increased severalfold just now?!"

"Mine too. My Soul Power absorption speed has increased by at least three times!"

Even Azure Luan Douluo's usually cool expression could not conceal his excitement.

"Hahaha! This old man noticed it too!"

Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo's booming laughter made the hall hum. Golden light flared around him as the immense pressure of his Soul Power spilled out uncontrollably.

The other Worships also revealed ecstatic expressions.

They did not yet know of the earth-shattering change brought by Soul Beast Extinction, but this sudden acceleration in cultivation, like a blessing bestowed by heaven and earth, was the good news they had dreamed of!

Everyone began discussing it, trying to figure out why this had happened so suddenly.

"It's because the Soul Power in the air has become several times denser!"

In just an instant, they found the cause.

With their senses fully unleashed, they also immediately discovered that it was not only the Worship Hall's Soul Power density that had increased. The Soul Power density throughout Spirit City, and even the entire world, had surged dramatically.

"What happened?"

"How could the Soul Power between heaven and earth suddenly surge like this?"

Everyone was both shocked and delighted, but they could not determine the reason.

They only knew that if this continued, it would be an enormous surprise for them.

With the Soul Power density in the air having increased severalfold, absorption and refinement had become easier than ever before. Breaking through would become much easier for them.

The entire Worship Hall brimmed with excitement.

Only Great Worship Qian Daoliu, seated in the place of honor with his back against the enormous Angel Statue, wore an expression starkly different from the other Worships.

A trace of concern appeared in his deep golden eyes.

An abnormal occurrence was bound to have a cause.

Qian Daoliu had lived for countless years and deeply understood the balance maintained by the laws of heaven and earth.

Such abrupt and drastic changes in the world's Soul Power might not be a good thing.

"Big Brother, what's wrong?"

"Why don't you seem happy?"

Mighty Lion Douluo quickly noticed that something was wrong with Qian Daoliu and immediately asked.

The others also turned to look at Qian Daoliu.

"I am indeed somewhat worried. An abnormal occurrence is bound to have a cause!"

"The surge in Soul Power throughout heaven and earth will multiply everyone's cultivation speed equally, making cultivation much easier!"

"If this continues, a large number of high-level Soul Masters will soon emerge. Titled Douluo may also appear in great numbers. The Soul Master world will inevitably fall into turmoil. That is not a good thing for the continent!"

"Moreover, if human Soul Masters cultivate faster, so will Soul Beasts. There will also be more awakened Soul Beasts!"

Qian Daoliu slowly spoke, voicing his concerns in a grave tone.

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others also became somewhat solemn.

They did not care much about the rest.

But an increase in the number of Titled Douluo was hardly something that made them happy.

If the continent descended into chaos, they would not be able to cultivate in peace either.

"Don't worry, Great Worship. This situation might not necessarily last!"

"Even if it does, Spirit Hall has the most Soul Masters, so we will benefit the most."

"This old man may even have a chance to reach the pinnacle!"

In the end, Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped forward and said with a smile.
