Self-Created Soul Skill?

Moreover, what gave Qin Ming the biggest headache was Jiang He's exceptionally good combat rhythm.

With his previous experience of getting beaten up by Yu Tianheng, Jiang He's control over his body might not have reached the absolute limit, but it was already highly proficient.

Combined with his monstrous combat talent and tyrannical physical qualities, Jiang He had now reached a level that made Qin Ming take him seriously.

Once Jiang He seized the initiative in battle, he would use his terrifying combat talent and tightly packed attack rhythm to suppress his opponent until there was no chance to strike back.

This Soul King had already suffered twice because of that.

If it happened again, he might really be defeated by Jiang He.

At that moment, Qin Ming suddenly realized that he had fallen into a dilemma.

If they continued, Jiang He's control Soul Skill was simply too troublesome.

Control followed by offense—Jiang He would turn him directly into a punching bag.

Yet Qin Ming could not truly risk his life against Jiang He.

But if they stopped, what he had said before would become rather embarrassing.

It would be hard for him, as a teacher, to save face.

However, just as Qin Ming hesitated, Jiang He suddenly canceled his Martial Soul Possession in the distance.

Qin Ming frowned slightly, looked at Jiang He, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang He shook his head and said, "Teacher Qin, I've used up my Soul Power."

Phew—

Upon hearing that, Qin Ming suddenly felt relieved.

Good, good. At last, there was something he could accept.

Explosive power, control, strength, and defense all maxed out.

Every aspect of him was absurdly monstrous.

If his Soul Power consumption had also been low, Qin Ming would truly have started doubting himself.

More importantly, Jiang He's actions gave him a way out.

With that in mind, Qin Ming also canceled his Martial Soul Possession. After straightening his clothes, he said:

"Jiang He, your combat talent is very strong. In particular, your use and coordination of Soul Skills can be called extremely proficient, and you can fully apply them in real combat.

But your cultivation is still too low. Two ten-thousand-year Soul Skills consume far too much Soul Power, and you cannot sustain a prolonged battle. If you want to fight for a long time, you must reduce your reliance on Soul Skills.

Also, your control over your body has not yet reached its limit.

So the focus of your next training will be controlling your own body.

As for the use of Soul Skills, occasional practice will be enough."

Hearing Qin Ming's words, Jiang He nodded and said seriously, "Understood, Teacher Qin. I'll keep that in mind."

Qin Ming then looked at the other students around him and asked, "After watching Jiang He's battle just now, do you think there are any other problems I failed to mention?"

At those words, everyone looked at one another, their eyes filled with strange expressions.

What else had he failed to mention?

There was nothing to mention!

Quite a few of them felt that Jiang He's current practical combat proficiency was even more exaggerated than theirs. They were practically becoming insecure, and Qin Ming was asking them what Jiang He's shortcomings were?

How could they possibly tell?

Without exaggeration, aside from the few minutes at the beginning when Jiang He had been chased around and beaten by Yu Tianheng, allowing them to spot some flaws, Jiang He's handling of the battle afterward had been better than all of theirs!

From the moment Jiang He began counterattacking Yu Tianheng to his later practical spar with Qin Ming, they believed they simply could not have done as flawlessly as Jiang He.

Especially Jiang He's use of Soul Skills, which seemed perfect in their eyes.

For the first Soul Skill release, he used the instant it activated to cancel out the force sending him flying backward, while also launching a counterattack.

For the second Soul Skill release, he took advantage of Qin Ming being in the air and unable to mount high-intensity defenses.

For the third Soul Skill release, he suddenly enhanced himself in the midst of attacking, catching Qin Ming off guard and achieving a chain of strikes.

Every one of them had been an impeccable moment to release a Soul Skill, leaving no room for criticism.

If they had to force out a flaw, it would be that Jiang He's Soul Skills consumed too much Soul Power, and he used them too frequently, making his battles too short. In a real fight, that would be a major weakness.

But... with Jiang He's burst power, opponents of the same level would basically be beaten to death by his first combination of Soul Skills. Why would he need endurance?

Seeing everyone remain silent, Qin Ming said, "I did indeed underestimate the strength of Jiang He's Martial Soul, so this battle does not hold much reference value for you.

But I believe this battle has also shown you that true geniuses grow very quickly.

In the future, you will need to spend even more time cultivating if you hope to catch up to such geniuses.

For the time being, continue practicing in pairs according to the previous groups. Supervise each other, and I will watch from the side and offer guidance.

As for Jiang He, rest for a while and recover your Soul Power. I'll plan out your future cultivation."

"Yes!"

As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, the students answered in unison before beginning their practice.

Once the students had started practicing in their assigned groups, Qin Ming called Jiang He over and said:

"Later, I'll arrange for you to train in the school's Gravity Training Room. This is usually a training benefit teachers obtain by exchanging work points, but your situation is special, so I can help you apply for it.

The Gravity Training Room can help you improve your physical strength more quickly while further strengthening your control over yourself. You must cherish this opportunity."

"Alright, Teacher Qin." Jiang He nodded. Then, somewhat curiously, he asked Qin Ming, "Teacher Qin, does our school have any inherited Self-Created Soul Skills for us to learn?"

"Self-Created Soul Skills?"

Qin Ming froze for a moment, then shook his head. "I haven't heard of any. After all, Self-Created Soul Skills are extremely important inheritances to any force. The academy... probably does not have them.

If you are interested, you could ask your teacher. Senior Dugu is a Title Douluo. If even he does not have any, then there is nothing I can do.

Why did you suddenly become interested in Self-Created Soul Skills?"

Jiang He shrugged and smiled. "Nothing much. I just feel that my current offensive methods are too limited, and I want to improve myself."

A trace of speechlessness flashed across Qin Ming's face. He said, "You are only a Soul Grandmaster and have just two Soul Skills. It is normal for your offensive methods to be limited. Once your cultivation level rises in the future and you obtain more Soul Rings, you will naturally have more offensive methods.

Besides, your current two Soul Skills already consume a great deal of Soul Power. If you learn some Self-Created Soul Skills as well, I'm afraid you'll be left standing there waiting to die before even two minutes have passed in battle."

Jiang He smiled faintly and said nothing.

In truth, his combat talent was nowhere near as good as Qin Ming claimed.

He had merely... grown accustomed to the system's existence.

Especially while exploring Sunset Forest, if he could not keep up with the system's analysis in time and follow the optimal route, he could enter the territory of a high-level Soul Beast at any moment. Then, only death would await him.

During this practical battle, after Jiang He had completely mastered his body, he was able to keep up with the system's analysis and dodge and attack according to the optimal methods calculated by the system.

That was why he appeared to possess such strong combat talent and attack rhythm.

In reality, it was all help provided by the system.

The reason he had asked about Self-Created Soul Skills was because he had discovered something interesting during the battle just now...
