Meeting Ning Fengzhi

After finishing classes at school the next day, Yang Xiong went straight to find Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, there's something I need to discuss with you privately. Do you have time now?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes immediately lit up when she heard that. "Little Xiongzi, did you find something good?"

But as soon as she said it, Ning Rongrong quickly covered her mouth and looked around at the others. Only after a moment did she nod. "I do, I do."

The two came to a secluded path. After confirming that no one was nearby, Ning Rongrong finally spoke. "Not bad, Little Xiongzi. What secret thing do you have to tell me?"

Yang Xiong hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Rongrong, please take me to see Sect Leader Ning. I have something I wish to submit to the sect."

Ning Rongrong asked doubtfully, "Can't you just give it to me? If you give it to me, I can pass it on to my father. It's the same either way."

Yang Xiong's expression turned serious. "These things are rather special. I need to demonstrate them to the Sect Leader personally, and they aren't suitable to reveal in front of outsiders."

Ning Rongrong repeatedly insisted that he could just tell her, but Yang Xiong maintained that it was currently too dangerous and concerned sect secrets, so it could not be revealed lightly.

In the end, Ning Rongrong pouted. "Little Xiongzi, you're no fun at all. Believe it or not, I'll tell my dad that you bullied me. Then you'll be in trouble."

Yang Xiong was speechless. He stepped three paces away from Ning Rongrong, and countless strands of soul power instantly condensed in his hand, forming a pale blue sphere. He then held the sphere and smashed it into the ground. A pit roughly a meter across immediately formed in the floor.

This was a ground paved with stone, which showed just how powerful this move was.

Surprise appeared in Ning Rongrong's eyes. "Little Xiongzi, is this the Self-Created Soul Skill you wanted to tell me about? I didn't see you use a soul ring just now. Does that mean anyone can use it?"

Yang Xiong nodded. "Yes. I call it the Rasengan. Ordinary soul masters can cultivate it too, but it's too complicated to learn and of great importance. That's why I wanted you to take me to see the Sect Leader."

Ning Rongrong's expression became somewhat serious as well. Although she had the highest Soul Power Level in the class, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul's innate lack of offensive power was her greatest weakness—and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's greatest weakness as well. The Self-Created Soul Skill Yang Xiong had displayed seemed quite powerful. If she could learn it, wouldn't she gain offensive abilities in the future?

"Little Xiongzi, how about you teach me first? Then I can show it directly to my father."

A wry smile appeared on Yang Xiong's face. "Rongrong, it took me several years to learn this move. The process is truly complicated, and it requires extremely precise control over soul power. That's why I want to meet the Sect Leader."

"Besides, to learn this move, one must at least reach the Five Aperture Scattered Heart level of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Heart Separation Control. Otherwise, it's impossible to cultivate."

"Moreover, I have the Sect Leader's token. I could actually request an audience with him directly. I only told you beforehand because you're my classmate."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong no longer dwelled on it. "Let's go. I'll take you to see my father."

Before long, led by Ning Rongrong, Yang Xiong arrived at one of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's core areas. However, it was not the place where Ning Fengzhi had summoned him last time.

The two entered an extremely luxurious villa. Every part of it was exquisitely crafted, grand and magnificent, like an earthly paradise. Even an ordinary-looking stone was worth a fortune.

"This is my home. My dad, Sword Grandfather, and Bone Grandfather should be waiting for me to eat. You can meet them while you're here."

Yang Xiong was merely a little surprised and said nothing more.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the grand hall of Ning Rongrong's home, Sword Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were all seated by the dining table, though the dishes had not yet been served.

Seeing the three leading figures of the sect, Yang Xiong hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Sect Leader. Greetings, Sword Elder and Bone Elder."

Sword Bone Douluo merely looked at Ning Rongrong with great affection, seemingly paying no attention to Yang Xiong's arrival.

Ning Fengzhi, on the other hand, smiled. "Yang Xiong, I believe this is your first time coming to our home with Rongrong. Treat this place as your own home. Come visit more often in the future."

Yang Xiong broke out in a cold sweat at those words. He really did not want to have too much contact with this group of big shots.

A hint of pride appeared on Ning Rongrong's face. "Dad, I have good news for you. Little Xiongzi has something he wants to submit to the sect, so I specially brought him to our home."

Ning Fengzhi was delighted to hear that. Last time, Yang Xiong had submitted the secret of Whale Rubber, increasing the sect's overall strength. He had not expected him to have something else to offer so soon.

"Yang Xiong, have you discovered another secret like Whale Rubber? Don't worry, the sect will certainly not treat you unfairly."

Yang Xiong replied, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, over the past few years, I developed a Self-Created Soul Skill that ordinary soul masters can cultivate. It may be of some help to the sect."

Ning Fengzhi and the other two felt a flicker of disappointment upon hearing this. Everyone present was among the top experts of the soul master world. Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword Technique in particular was considered the strongest in the soul master world. They could not imagine what astonishing Self-Created Soul Skill a ten-year-old child could create, much less one that could help the sect.

Bone Douluo's expression darkened slightly. "Yang Xiong, you are still young. This is the golden age for raising your soul power. You need not be so fixated on Self-Created Soul Skills. Rather than wasting time researching them, you should raise your soul power as quickly as possible."

Yang Xiong hurriedly said, "Thank you for your guidance, Bone Elder. My Self-Created Soul Skill is somewhat special. Even Support Soul Masters can use it."

Everyone was surprised by this, especially Ning Fengzhi, whose expression became serious. "Yang Xiong, is that true? Even Support Soul Masters can use it?"

Yang Xiong nodded. "Yes. Although it is somewhat difficult and requires extremely fine control over a soul master's soul power, Support Soul Masters can cultivate it as well. In fact, any soul master may be able to cultivate it."

"May I find a place to demonstrate it, Sect Leader?"

Bone Douluo's figure flashed, and in an instant, he appeared before Yang Xiong. "With me here, you can demonstrate it on the spot. Attack me directly with your Self-Created Soul Skill. I'd like to see just how powerful it is."

Yang Xiong did not hesitate. A pale blue sphere of light quickly condensed in his hand, accompanied by a rapid tearing sound. With all his strength, he gripped the Rasengan and smashed it toward Bone Douluo.

Bone Douluo's entire body seemed to be enveloped by a layer of power. The Rasengan Yang Xiong sent toward him appeared to encounter some kind of resistance and could not advance any farther.

However, the soul power spinning within the Rasengan moved at an extremely high speed. It actually broke through the layer of aura around Bone Douluo and ultimately struck his chest. Yet Bone Douluo's body merely trembled slightly before he showed no further reaction.

Yang Xiong knew very well that Bone Douluo had probably only displayed the soul power of a Soul Elder or Soul Grandmaster just now. Otherwise, with the strength and physical constitution of a Titled Douluo, Yang Xiong would not even have been able to get close.

But the scene instantly fell silent. The surroundings were so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could have been heard.
