Self-Created Soul Skill: Laser

Another two and a half years passed in the blink of an eye.

Wang Feng had been at Notting Academy for five years.

At the back mountain of Notting Academy, Wang Feng looked at the shining green light on his fingertip and smiled in satisfaction.

"Finally completed."

After years of experimentation, he had finally created a powerful Self-Created Soul Skill.

"Let's test its power."

As he spoke, green light flickered continuously at his fingertip. The next second, it shot forward in an instant.

Boom!!

An explosion rang out, and the ground trembled.

Looking at the explosion caused by the green beam, Wang Feng thought of Kizaru's signature skill from One Piece—Laser. His move was quite similar to it.

Though the color was different, the principle was the same. Both involved condensing, compressing, and unleashing light.

"Good. From now on, this move will be called Laser."

"With this move to protect myself, it's time for me to leave."

Wang Feng had already spent five years at Notting Academy. His Soul Power had reached level 25, and he could have graduated long ago. He had only stayed to study his Soul Skills. Now that he had created this skill, he planned to go to a Soul Beast Forest and fight Soul Beasts.

"What's going on? How could such a powerful explosion happen over there?"

On a training ground not far from the back mountain, Yu Xiaogang, who was giving Tang San and Xiao Wu private lessons, stared at the disturbance caused by the explosion and was greatly startled.

"Teacher, something must have happened over there. Let's go take a look."

"Alright, let's see what happened."

Yu Xiaogang nodded, and the three of them quickly headed toward the back mountain.

"That is..."

When they reached the back mountain and saw the enormous crater, Tang San was stunned. What kind of strength would it take to create such a huge pit?

"Wang Feng, why are you here?"

At that moment, Xiao Wu spotted Wang Feng nearby and cried out.

Looking him over carefully, she realized that eleven-year-old Wang Feng had become even more handsome.

Sword-like brows, starry eyes, a tall and straight figure, and a handsome face—who would he end up benefiting in the future?

"Wang Feng? It really is him."

Hearing Xiao Wu's voice, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San looked over. Sure enough, someone stood not far from the crater. It was Wang Feng.

Over the past few years, although they attended the same academy, Tang San had rarely interacted with Wang Feng. Wang Feng also liked skipping class to train alone, so the two hardly ever saw each other.

It was worth mentioning that Wang Feng, Xiao Wu, and Tang San each had their own private dormitory at Notting Academy.

Seeing Wang Feng, Yu Xiaogang frowned and walked over. "Wang Feng, what happened to this crater? Who made it?"

Yu Xiaogang immediately ruled out the possibility that Wang Feng had done it. Creating such a crater without a powerful Soul Skill was impossible. How could Wang Feng possibly possess that kind of strength?

Xiao Wu stepped forward and asked, "Wang Feng, what happened? Did you do this?"

"That's right. I did."

Wang Feng nodded and looked at Xiao Wu. Eleven-year-old Xiao Wu had certainly matured quite a bit.

"Wang Feng, you're saying you made this? You're not joking, are you? Even a Soul Elder couldn't create such a huge crater with one attack."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head and looked at Wang Feng with disappointment. After all these years, Wang Feng still liked telling lies.

"Oh? Master, you don't believe I caused this?"

Wang Feng smiled as he looked at Yu Xiaogang, who had changed his style and hairstyle.

Yu Xiaogang still shook his head and said with certainty, "That's right. Although you've broken through to Soul Grandmaster and obtained your second Soul Skill, your second Soul Skill is a control-type skill. With your strength, it's impossible for you to create such a large crater." After a pause, Yu Xiaogang sighed. "I didn't expect that after all these years, you would still like to lie so much."

"Master, are you really that certain this wasn't caused by me?"

Why did Yu Xiaogang's expression look so punchable? Wang Feng decided that before leaving, he would slap him in the face one more time.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said firmly, "It absolutely could not have been you."

"Wang Feng, Teacher's judgment can't be wrong. Besides, I don't believe you could create something like this either."

Tang San stopped halfway through his words.

Green light gathered in Wang Feng's hand. A Laser shot out, and with a boom, another enormous crater of equal size appeared before them.

Yu Xiaogang froze.

Tang San was stunned as well.

"Master, this wasn't caused by me either."

After saying that, Wang Feng ignored the shocked expressions on their faces and walked over to Xiao Wu.

"Wang Feng, how... how could you be so strong..."

Xiao Wu came back to her senses slightly and looked at Wang Feng in astonishment.

Over the past few years, she had never noticed. Wang Feng had hidden himself too deeply.

Looking at Xiao Wu in her pink dress, with the appearance of a delicate little girl, Wang Feng reached out and touched the ears atop her head. "I've always been this strong. You just didn't know it. If you still want another one-on-one battle with me, you'll have to become much stronger."

By the end, Wang Feng had leaned close to Xiao Wu's ear and spoken softly. After finishing, he left the three of them behind and turned to leave.

A private battle between the two of them—Wang Feng...

Watching Wang Feng leave, Xiao Wu seemed to remember something.

"How is that possible? He's only a Soul Grandmaster. Even a Soul Elder couldn't produce such explosive power!"

Yu Xiaogang was full of disbelief, but the two craters before him were slapping him in the face.

"Teacher, how did he do it?"

Though Tang San found it hard to believe, the facts were right before him. He had no choice but to believe that Wang Feng was truly powerful.

"He should..."

Yu Xiaogang wanted to find a reason to explain it, but he found that he had none.

At that moment, Xiao Wu asked, "Master, did you notice that when Wang Feng used that skill just now, he didn't seem to release his Spirit Rings?"

"He didn't release his Spirit Rings?" Tang San thought about it and realized Xiao Wu was right.

Releasing Spirit Rings before using Soul Skills was the rule of this world, unless it was...

Thinking of that possibility, Yu Xiaogang blurted out four words: "Self-Created Soul Skill."

"A Self-Created Soul Skill? Teacher, what is a Self-Created Soul Skill?" Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang in confusion. It was his first time hearing the term.

"A Self-Created Soul Skill is an ability outside of Soul Skills, created through a Soul Master's talent. It is a skill gained without releasing Spirit Rings. Its power is stronger than ordinary Soul Skills, while its Soul Power consumption is lower. It can be said that every Soul Master who possesses a Self-Created Soul Skill is a genius among geniuses."

As Yu Xiaogang explained, Xiao Wu immediately asked, "If what Wang Feng used just now was a Self-Created Soul Skill, doesn't that make him a genius among geniuses?"

Yu Xiaogang said, "Uh... that is indeed possible..."

"Self-Created Soul Skill!"

Tang San murmured those words. Thinking of the tremendous power Wang Feng had displayed with the Self-Created Soul Skill, he firmly engraved those four words in his heart.

Although he possessed the Tang Sect's secret techniques, he planned to try creating such a powerful ability in the future. After all, in his view, his talent was not inferior to Wang Feng's at all. If Wang Feng could do it, then he definitely could too.

"No, I still can't believe Wang Feng could create a Soul Skill on his own. I need to find him and ask what happened."

Yu Xiaogang had always believed that Wang Feng was destined to become useless. Now that he had suddenly shown such ability, Yu Xiaogang felt uncomfortable without getting to the bottom of it.

He hurriedly left the back mountain and searched for a long time, but he could not find Wang Feng. In the end, he arrived at the Academic Affairs Office. Seeing that only Director Wang was there, he asked urgently, "Director Wang, have you seen Wang Feng?"

"Wang Feng? He left just now. Master, you know Wang Feng is our academy's finest student. He reached Soul Grandmaster long ago and could have graduated already."

"He left?"

"That's right. Master, what's wrong? Were you looking for him? He only left a short while ago. If you want to chase after him, you can still catch up."

"It's nothing." Yu Xiaogang shook his head and turned to leave. Yet he still felt some regret. If Wang Feng had not left, and Yu Xiaogang could learn the details of Self-Created Soul Skills from him, he would gain another wealth of knowledge.

"Teacher, how did it go?" Tang San asked when he saw Yu Xiaogang emerge.

"Wang Feng has already left."

"What? He left? He still owes me a battle. How could he just leave?"

Xiao Wu looked deeply unhappy. She had never forgotten about the one-on-one battle with Wang Feng.

"Xiao San, Xiao Wu, you still have one year before graduation. During this year, I will properly teach you things you cannot learn here. As for Self-Created Soul Skills, I suspect Wang Feng was only able to create one because he spent a great deal of time researching it. If you try researching them, you will waste time. So don't think about Self-Created Soul Skills for now. Focus on cultivating properly, understand?"

"Yes, Teacher."

Although Tang San was still thinking about Self-Created Soul Skills, he had to admit that his teacher's words made sense.

Moreover, he possessed the Tang Sect's secret techniques. As long as he cultivated them well, he was confident they would not be inferior to so-called Self-Created Soul Skills.

"Alright, go back and cultivate now."

"Yes, Teacher."

"Yes, Master."

After Tang San and Xiao Wu left, Yu Xiaogang planned to research Self-Created Soul Skills.

If Wang Feng could create a Soul Skill himself, then with Yu Xiaogang's intelligence and talent, there was no way he could not create one too. Besides, he also wanted to see whether he could make himself a little stronger.
