Given Bone Douluo's strength, an ordinary Soul Grandmaster probably could not even get close to him. Even combat soul skills would have no effect whatsoever on his formidable defense. Yet Yang Xiong's Self-Created Soul Skill had actually managed to approach him and make his body tremble slightly, clearly demonstrating the skill's power.

Ning Fengzhi's expression turned exceedingly grave. Even Sword Douluo, whose face had remained expressionless, showed a trace of surprise.

"Uncle Bone, what do you think of this Self-Created Soul Skill? How powerful is it?"

Bone Douluo nodded slightly. "Its power is quite good. It should be stronger than an ordinary thousand-year soul skill. However, Yang Xiong's Soul Power is simply too weak. He can probably only use it with difficulty."

After speaking, Bone Douluo directly took out an object. It was three meters wide and two meters long, resembling a section of tree trunk. Yang Xiong recognized it at once as Iron Fir Wood, one of the hardest types of wood.

"Yang Xiong, use that move again on this Iron Fir Wood. I want to observe it more carefully."

Yang Xiong did not hesitate. He condensed another Rasengan and struck the Iron Fir Wood. A large hole half a meter wide instantly appeared on its surface, but apart from that crater, the entire back side had been directly pulverized. Countless wood chips flew wildly around the room, making it clear just how powerful the Rasengan truly was.

Bone Douluo snorted coldly. All the flying wood chips were instantly pressed to the ground, then swiftly cleared away, as though they had never existed.

Only then did Ning Fengzhi and the others focus on the large pit in the Iron Fir Wood. There was a half-meter-wide hole in the front of the entire piece of wood, while a small hole had appeared in its center. All the Iron Fir Wood behind that small hole had been shattered to pieces. Clearly, the move was even more powerful than they had imagined.

Ning Fengzhi looked solemnly at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, what do you think?"

Sword Douluo nodded, a rare occurrence. "If every Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul master can use this Self-Created Soul Skill, then it will absolutely be the greatest discovery in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It may even compensate for the shortcomings of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

The greatest problem of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was that its Sect Master possessed no offensive power whatsoever, nor even the ability to protect himself. Therefore, whenever he went out, Titled Douluo had to accompany him. Even in battle, they had to remain close by to protect Ning Fengzhi, which severely limited the ability of the two Titled Douluo to display their strength.

In the Original Work, Spirit Hall had dispatched four Titled Douluo along with ten thousand soul masters to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. In truth, given the strength of Ning Fengzhi and the Sword and Bone Douluo, they had no reason to fear four Titled Douluo. However, the ten thousand soul masters had continuously attacked Ning Fengzhi, restricting Bone Douluo. If Ning Fengzhi had possessed offensive and defensive abilities, the situation likely would not have been so dire.

This was also one of the reasons Yang Xiong had decided to offer up the Rasengan.

Ning Fengzhi appeared somewhat excited. "Yang Xiong, I should call you Little Xiong instead. Little Xiong, can any soul master really cultivate this Self-Created Soul Skill of yours?"

Yang Xiong did not hesitate either. He directly took out a thick stack of papers from his body, containing every step for cultivating the Rasengan. It even detailed the specific requirements for Soul Power and spiritual power.

As Ning Fengzhi and the other two examined Yang Xiong's Rasengan cultivation method, expressions of amazement appeared on all their faces. They had never expected that a problem the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had failed to solve for countless generations would be so easily resolved by Yang Xiong. Moreover, this Self-Created Soul Skill seemed to possess limitless potential. As Yang Xiong's Soul Power increased, its might would grow even greater.

Ning Fengzhi was filled with delight. "Little Xiong, you have made such a contribution to the sect this time. Do you require any reward? So long as you name it, the sect can provide it."

Ning Fengzhi's words carried immense weight. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the wealthiest sect under heaven. Even the most precious Soul Bones were not something it lacked.

Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking. "Sect Master, it seems that I have already completed the development of this Rasengan, but I feel that it is merely a prototype. If elemental energy could be infused into the Rasengan, its power might become even greater. However, my Heart Separation Control has only reached Five Aperture Scattered Heart. I wish to learn the final two levels of Heart Separation Control."

A smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face. "Little Xiong, you are already an Inner Sect disciple of our sect. Inner Sect disciples have the right to learn Heart Separation Control. Only the first five levels were placed in the library because we feared they might leak out. The final two levels must be taught orally, so this is hardly a request at all."

"You and Rongrong are classmates and seem to get along quite well. I will have Rongrong personally teach you the next two levels. It will also give you the chance to teach Rongrong the Rasengan."

Yang Xiong inwardly grumbled. Ning Fengzhi, where did you see that Ning Rongrong and I get along well? I still want to stay as far away from that Little Devil Girl as possible.

"Sect Master, although the Rasengan is not particularly difficult to develop, it places extremely high demands on a soul master's spiritual control. Only those who have reached Five Aperture Scattered Heart can barely cultivate it. Moreover, it consumes an enormous amount of Soul Power. Even now, I can only use it three times within half an hour. Therefore, I do not recommend that soul masters below the Soul Ancestor rank cultivate it, or it may affect the support capabilities of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda soul masters."

"Furthermore, my martial soul differs somewhat from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It would be best for the Sect Master to have someone verify it first. After all, I developed this alone."

Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Little Xiong, you are quite thoughtful. I will arrange for someone to verify it as soon as possible. Do you have no other requests? For example, some treasure or Gold Soul Coins?"

Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking. "I have two small requests that I hope the Sect Master will grant."

Ning Fengzhi said, "Go ahead and tell me your requests. The sect will not mistreat anyone who has made contributions."

Yang Xiong said, "Sect Master, I developed this Rasengan independently. I contributed it to the sect because I regard the sect as my own home. I hope the sect will not let this Rasengan leak outside, and especially not reveal that I was the one who developed it."

Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Little Xiong, you may rest assured of that. From this day onward, the Rasengan will be an untransmitted secret of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It may only be taught to absolutely trustworthy people, and the sect will also ensure your safety."

"What is your second request? Surely it is not another matter this simple?"

Yang Xiong thought for a moment before saying, "Sect Master, I rather enjoy researching medicinal herbs. Could you reward me with a Soul Tool capable of storing living things? I know such items are quite rare, so if there is none, then forget it."

A smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face. "Little Xiong, you are overthinking it. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is wealthy beyond compare. The sect happens to have the Soul Tool you want, one capable of storing living things. I will have Rongrong give it to you later."

"By the way, are your requests really this simple? Do you understand the value this Rasengan holds for my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Yang Xiong said, "Sect Master, I feel very comfortable within the sect. I have always regarded the sect as my own home, so I do not need any other rewards."
