Jun Xuehan reached out and touched his stomach, then withdrew the Silver Dragon Spear in his hand. Deep confusion rose in his heart. Strange, hadn't I just eaten not long ago? Why did it feel like I hadn't eaten for days? Why was I so hungry?
She Long descended from midair and looked at Jun Xuehan in surprise. "Xuehan, how did you come up with what you used just now? I don't remember teaching you any of that."
With the eyesight of a Titled Douluo, She Long could naturally see it easily. What Jun Xuehan had used just now resembled a Self-Created Soul Skill. However, it was still vastly different from a true Self-Created Soul Skill and could only be considered its rudimentary form.
A rudimentary form meant it had only just surpassed the level of technique and taken the first step toward becoming a Self-Created Soul Skill.
Though it was merely the rudimentary form of a Self-Created Soul Skill, it was already terrifying enough. She Long had only taught him the basic techniques yesterday, yet after just one night, he had produced the rudimentary form of a Self-Created Soul Skill. This was beyond genius—he was practically a monster.
Jun Xuehan stood where he was and pondered for a moment, recalling what had just happened. That scorching sensation had come very suddenly, but it seemed to be an immensely powerful force. It differed entirely from Soul Power and Mental Power. It was a completely new kind of strength.
To be precise, that power seemed to originate from his Bloodline. Yet now, he could not feel it at all, as though it had never appeared in the first place.
"Just use the most basic Upward Slash. Once you determine where you'll land each time, thrust out with the spear and use Upward Slash again. Is that difficult?" Jun Xuehan touched his stomach and spoke listlessly. He only wanted to eat now. This hunger was simply too unbearable.
Looking at Jun Xuehan's cool and detached expression, the corner of She Long's mouth twitched. It was not difficult, exactly. As long as one had enough strength and technique to send an opponent flying, along with precise judgment and powerful attack strength, it could be done.
The problem was that he had only taught him the basics yesterday, yet Jun Xuehan had already created the rudimentary form of a Self-Created Soul Skill. This was no longer learning to run right after being taught to crawl. He had already started flying.
Moreover, judging from the power of that Upward Slash and the Silver Dragon Spear's formidable attack strength, She Long could basically conclude that any Soul Master below Level 20 would be unable to resist once Jun Xuehan got close and launched them into the air. They simply would not be able to come back down.
Of course, that was another matter for flying martial souls. If he sent someone flying and they simply stayed in the air, then this move would basically be useless. Its current limitations also meant it was only suitable for one-on-one battles. It would likewise be of little use in a Team Battle.
But this was only a rudimentary form for now. With continued refinement in the future, perhaps it could truly become a genuine Self-Created Soul Skill.
Qian Renxue came before Jun Xuehan and said, "Xuehan, let's go eat. You're at the age where you're growing. It's normal to eat a little more."
Jun Xuehan paused slightly. How did she know I was hungry? Was I really that obvious?
Though he thought so, Jun Xuehan still followed behind Qian Renxue to eat. Not for any other reason, but because the feeling of being hungry was far too uncomfortable.
Watching the two leave, She Long could not help but feel bewildered.
Eat? Hadn't they just eaten not long ago? Why were they going to eat again?...
In the dining hall, She Long watched Jun Xuehan eat, and his eyebrows began twitching wildly.
"Young Mistress, will there really be no problem if Xuehan keeps eating like this? He's already eaten enough for eight people," She Long asked quietly. He remembered that Jun Xuehan had not had such a large appetite before. How had practicing with the spear for a while made him eat so much?
"Children are growing. It's normal for them to eat a little more," Qian Renxue said with a smile, not paying it much mind.
He had merely become able to eat a little more. Spirit Hall was not short on rice; they could afford to feed him. It was not a major problem.
Besides, the situation felt somewhat familiar. The Second Worship of their Worship Hall, whose martial soul was the Golden Crocodile King, was already over a hundred years old. Yet his vitality was extraordinarily vigorous, and when he ate, his appetite far exceeded that of the young Jun Xuehan.
Therefore, Qian Renxue guessed that Jun Xuehan's current condition was likely due to his vigorous vitality. After all, one of his martial souls was a dragon, and a characteristic of Dragon Race martial souls was a powerful physique.
It was simply that Qian Renxue could not yet be sure whether her deduction was correct.
After finishing the food before him, Jun Xuehan touched his stomach with lingering dissatisfaction. His gaze fell on Qian Renxue across from him. He did not intend to speak, merely watching her quietly.
Seeing the way he looked, Qian Renxue rested her cheek on her hand and said to She Long beside her, "Elder She Long, have someone prepare another table of delicacies. Xuehan still isn't full."
She Long was startled, but he said nothing more. After glancing at Jun Xuehan, he walked out.
He had eaten enough for eight people and was still not full. Had he turned his talent into appetite? She Long only thought it to himself and did not say it aloud.
For someone talented, even allocating extra cultivation resources to them would not be excessive. Jun Xuehan merely ate a little more; it was not a serious problem. No matter what, a genius had to be allowed to eat his fill.
"Xuehan, Elder She Long told me yesterday that you remembered seventy percent of the basic techniques after seeing them only once. I have a book here about the basics of Soul Masters. Read through it once and see how much you can remember." Qian Renxue took out a book and placed it before Jun Xuehan, signaling for him to pick it up and read.
Jun Xuehan picked up the book, opened it, and began reading rapidly. There was nothing remarkable in its contents. It only covered the most basic knowledge concerning Soul Masters.
The book was not very thick, only a little over a hundred pages. After around half an hour, Jun Xuehan closed it and said, "I remember about ninety percent of it. There wasn't anything particularly difficult in the whole book."
Qian Renxue picked up the book, casually opened it to a page, and asked, "What is written on the fourth line of page thirty-two?"
Jun Xuehan thought for a moment and said, "The difference between Battle Soul Masters and Tool Soul Masters is that Battle Soul Masters are Soul Masters responsible for combat, including the Control System, Assault System, Agility Assault System, and Defense System. However, the Support System is not included among them, because Support System Soul Masters are not responsible for combat."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, then casually opened several more pages and continued asking questions. Jun Xuehan answered every one correctly, without even getting a single word wrong.
