The forty-fifth day since Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had both been utterly crushed.

Luo Fan and his six Wood Clones were, as usual, in their customary training spot, each extending a palm!

Visible Soul Power gathered and spun in Luo Fan's palm, only to spread outward and dissipate in rings...

The Rasengan's three training stages could be said to be harder than the last!

The first stage only required bursting a water balloon. That was the easiest one, and Luo Fan had succeeded in roughly seven or eight days!

The second stage required bursting a ball a hundred times tougher. It had taken Luo Fan more than twenty days to finally succeed!

As for this third stage, it was the hardest!

Because it required splitting one's focus in two.

On one hand, he had to output Soul Power to ensure the Rasengan's might. On the other, he had to stabilize the Rasengan, condensing and controlling it into a sphere.

What was that like?

It was like a little fairy demanding that you work hard outside to earn money, make an annual salary of a million, and then also requiring you to take good care of the home after marriage, becoming a qualified husband and father.

Doing two nearly opposite things at the same time was simply too difficult!

So, even after a month and a half had passed, Luo Fan's Soul Power had already risen to level 15, and he had gained another Wood Clone, yet he still had not succeeded.

Whenever he focused on outputting Soul Power to guarantee its power, he could no longer control it, and the Soul Power would rapidly overflow and disperse!

But if he ensured the Rasengan's stability, then he could not guarantee its power.

Despite working at it for so long, he still had not grasped the point of balance.

Actually, following the training method from the original work, Luo Fan did have a shortcut available.

He could imitate Naruto Uzumaki and cooperate with a Wood Clone—he would handle the Soul Power output while the Wood Clone helped stabilize it, with each taking care of one part of the divided focus!

But Luo Fan had not done that!

After all, needing a Wood Clone's cooperation to use a skill in battle would be far too cumbersome in a rapidly changing fight!

As Luo Fan trained, quite a few passing students could not help but glance over!

At first, when Luo Fan said he wanted to create his own Soul Skill, he played with water balloons, then rubber balls. Everyone thought his Self-Created Soul Skill was a joke. How could playing with balls possibly lead to a Self-Created Soul Skill?

But after Luo Fan began training in the third stage, everyone's attitude changed drastically!

After all, Soul Power gathering, spinning, and overflowing from his palm created quite a spectacle. It really did not look like he was fooling around!

Although a month and a half had passed and Luo Fan still had not succeeded, that did not stop everyone from developing some expectations for his Self-Created Soul Skill.

After all, the spectacle could not deceive anyone.

Moreover, ever since the day Luo Fan began training in the third stage, Yu Xiaogang had once again tried to take Luo Fan as his disciple, only to be rejected. After personally witnessing Luo Fan train the Rasengan's third stage, he was deeply shocked as well!

Pure Soul Power visible to the naked eye?

He had initially thought Luo Fan's so-called Self-Created Soul Skill was merely nonsense, but now it seemed there might really be something to it?

While Luo Fan was training, a little girl carrying a lunch box skipped toward him. It was Xiao Wu!

Half of the first semester had already passed, and Xiao Wu's relationship with Luo Fan had grown much closer.

Recently, because Luo Fan had been training so hard, the two of them returned to the cafeteria for lunch after class. In the afternoons, while Luo Fan trained the Rasengan here, Xiao Wu would buy food from the cafeteria and bring it to him.

Seeing Xiao Wu approach, Luo Fan stopped his training and went to meet her.

"Brother Fan, time to eat. How's it going?" Xiao Wu handed him the lunch box and asked with a smile.

After they had grown much closer, Xiao Wu's way of addressing Luo Fan had changed from "Boss Luo" to "Brother Fan."

"Mm, same as always. It still feels like there's a thin membrane in the way, like something's missing," Luo Fan said, shaking his head.

"It's fine. Take it slowly, there's no rush. You'll succeed sooner or later!" Xiao Wu nodded and encouraged him.

"By the way, what about you, Xiao Wu?" Luo Fan asked casually as he picked up the packed meal.

"Hehehe, Brother Fan, I may not be as good as you, but I've been training hard lately too. My Soul Power is level 12 now!" Xiao Wu replied!

Luo Fan silently nodded at that!

It had only been a little over two months since school began. Xiao Wu had been level 11 after obtaining her Soul Ring, and now she had risen to level 12. That rate of progress was indeed not slow!

After all, she trained entirely on her own, while he had several times the training efficiency thanks to his Wood Clones.

"Oh, Tang San broke through to level 13 a few days ago too. He trains very hard as well!" Xiao Wu added.

After saying that, Xiao Wu paused slightly before continuing, "Also, I've noticed that Tang San seems to be practicing his own Self-Created Soul Skill lately. Taking advantage of his job at the blacksmith shop, he's made a lot of little things that look quite dangerous!"

Luo Fan was not surprised by that.

After all, Tang San had always regarded the Tang Sect's hidden weapons as his true trump card.

Since they came from the same village, shared the same dormitory, and possessed the same Blue Silver Grass martial soul, yet Tang San had always fallen short of him, it was perfectly reasonable for Tang San to work harder than in the original story and devote more effort to hidden weapons.

"Success!"

Just as Luo Fan and Xiao Wu chatted idly while eating, a joyous shout suddenly rang out.

Luo Fan looked toward the sound!

All six Wood Clones were gathering Soul Power in their palms as it continuously overflowed during training, but one of them had completely locked down the Soul Power that had originally been dispersing!

The storm formed entirely from Soul Power was clearly extraordinarily powerful at a glance, yet it was tightly controlled into a fist-sized sphere.

From afar, it looked like a terrifying high-speed hurricane compressed into a fist-sized ball.

The sphere formed purely from Soul Power was semi-transparent, magnificent and dangerous.

"Th-this is the Soul Skill you've been creating all this time, Brother Fan? It looks so amazing!" Xiao Wu stared intently at the Rasengan in the Wood Clone's hand, amazement appearing on her face.

As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Xiao Wu naturally had sharp eyes.

She could also tell that this Self-Created Soul Skill, the Rasengan, was an extremely destructive offensive skill!

Setting down the packed lunch in his hand, Luo Fan swiftly canceled the Wood Clone Technique. Accordingly, all the training experience returned to Luo Fan himself.

What had originally felt like being separated by a pane of glass now became completely clear, as though the clouds had been swept aside!

Luo Fan raised his palm. Dense Soul Power moved according to his will, rapidly gathering, spinning, and tearing through the air in his palm...

Yet this enormous Soul Power was compressed into a tiny sphere.

Luo Fan swept his gaze around and spotted a large boulder not far away.

Then, gripping the Rasengan in his hand, he pressed it directly onto the boulder...
