I knew it-You Can't Create a Soul Skill in Two Hours. Wait, You Said Two Months Would Be Enough?

Everyone stared at that transparent space, all sorts of thoughts rising in their minds. None of them knew how Ling Luochen was learning inside it.

Yet Ling Luochen's experience within that Mind Space was entirely different from what Han Ling'er and the others outside imagined.

She felt as though something was pushing her thoughts, making them race at incredible speed. Everything around her vanished, leaving only herself and a warm current slowly circulating within her body.

That warm current seemed to be guiding her, directing the Soul Power within her body to circulate according to a certain pattern.

Ling Luochen tried following that guidance. It had to be said, having clear instruction was completely different from fumbling around on her own. Her Soul Power flowed through her meridians smoothly, without the slightest obstruction.

She continued circulating her Soul Power according to that guidance—one cycle, two cycles, three cycles...

She did not know how many cycles had passed. She could not sense the passage of time at all; she only felt her Soul Power circulation becoming increasingly smooth, gradually changing from awkward unfamiliarity into proficiency.

Then, at a certain moment, the warm current enveloping her suddenly dissipated, and the scene around her became clear once more.

Ling Luochen slowly opened her eyes.

Everyone's gazes immediately fell upon her, their eyes brimming with curiosity.

Ling Luochen first swept her gaze over the crowd before finally looking at Lin Fan. Tilting her head slightly, she asked.

"How long did I cultivate for?"

Lin Fan smiled faintly and answered.

"A little over two hours."

Ling Luochen froze upon hearing that.

More than two hours?

But by her own perception, it had only been a short while, perhaps no more than the time it took to drink a cup of tea. How had more than two hours already passed?

Lin Fan was not surprised by the expression on her face and merely added with a smile.

"While you were training, I also gave them some combat guidance."

Only then did Ling Luochen look toward the others. Han Ling'er and the rest stood there looking somewhat dusty and disheveled, clearly having just gone through a battle.

Although they were all Inner Court students and every one of them possessed the strength of a Five-Ring Soul King, they were utterly outmatched before Lin Fan.

Even when Lin Fan suppressed his own strength to their level, they still could not do anything to him. He defeated them effortlessly, toying with them like an old man playing with children.

As he defeated them, Lin Fan pointed out each of their shortcomings in battle and offered ideas for improvement.

After only a little more than two hours of training, Han Ling'er and the others had gained quite a lot.

Han Ling'er finally could not hold back any longer and asked anxiously.

"Luochen! How did it go? What did you learn in those two hours?"

After hearing this, Ling Luochen's gaze instinctively fell on Lin Fan. Then she nodded.

The next instant, an ice-blue shield appeared before her. The shield was crystalline and translucent, giving off wisps of cold air.

"You did it?!"

Han Ling'er's eyes widened, while the others also revealed shocked expressions.

Though they had claimed to believe in Lin Fan, they all knew deep down that Self-Created Soul Skills were not so easily learned. No matter what, it should take a long time just to reach the threshold.

Yet Ling Luochen had used only a little over two hours to successfully condense an ice-element shield?

This... this was far too absurd, wasn't it?

However, Lin Fan showed no surprise upon seeing the ice shield. He merely stepped forward and lightly tapped it with his hand.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out, and the ice shield shattered directly, turning into specks of ice crystal that scattered across the floor.

Everyone was stunned. They could see that Lin Fan had not used any Soul Power at all. He had merely given it a casual tap, yet the shield had shattered all over the ground.

"This... isn't it way too fragile?"

Someone could not help muttering.

Lin Fan did not mind and simply explained.

"Self-Created Soul Skills are divided into form and power. Luochen spent over two hours producing the 'form,' which is already quite good. As for the use of 'power,' that still requires time and practice."

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Exactly. If someone could produce a complete Self-Created Soul Skill in just over two hours, then wouldn't all these years of ours have been wasted?

Just as everyone thought they could relax, Lin Fan added with another smile.

"At Luochen's current pace, she should be able to complete this Soul Skill in two months."

Everyone froze again.

Two months?!

He had just said that creating the form in a little over two hours was already impressive, but completing an entire Self-Created Soul Skill in two months was still incredibly fast!

If someone had told them not long ago that a Self-Created Soul Skill could be developed in only two months, they would certainly have scoffed, thinking that person was daydreaming.

Moreover, it was said that ten thousand years ago, there had been a genius with Innate Full Soul Power who had spent too much time creating Soul Skills in his youth. As a result, he delayed his cultivation during his best years, and his eventual achievements fell far short of everyone's expectations.

"Alright, that concludes today's lesson."

Lin Fan clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Whether what I said before was true or false, you'll know in two months."

Everyone nodded. The way they looked at Lin Fan had clearly changed, turning from initial curiosity and doubt into admiration.

"Thank you, Teacher Lin Fan, for today's guidance."

Several of them spoke in unison.

Lin Fan nodded and did not linger any longer, turning to walk out of the classroom.

Leng Yaozhu and Ling Luochen hurriedly followed, walking on Lin Fan's left and right.

After leaving the classroom, Leng Yaozhu suddenly asked.

"Lin Fan... can I create my own Soul Skill too?"

She asked with some concern. After all, if Self-Created Soul Skills did not require too much time, she wanted to learn them as well.

"If my Martial Soul isn't purely fire-elemental, will that affect creating a Soul Skill?"

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head.

"It won't affect it. It's just that your Martial Soul is a Beast Martial Soul, so there are still some differences between it and an Elemental Martial Soul."

Hearing this, Leng Yaozhu could not help feeling somewhat disappointed. But Lin Fan immediately continued with a smile.

"But that isn't a problem. I can help you too."

Leng Yaozhu's eyes immediately lit up, and a smile returned to her face.

The three walked side by side for a while. As they passed a training field, they saw a group of children running. Every one of them was drenched in sweat and panting heavily, yet they still gritted their teeth and persisted.

Leng Yaozhu's gaze swept over the children, and she immediately spotted two familiar figures.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were among them as well.

At the front of the group, an elderly woman stood with her hands behind her back, keeping pace beside them. Her eyes were exceptionally sharp.

The elderly woman's gaze swept over the three of them, and when it landed on Lin Fan, she suddenly shot him a fierce glare.
