"What is the effect of the Soul Skill?" Ye Feng asked curiously.
Although he had experienced it, Zhu Zhuqing herself knew the specific effects best.
"I fused my first and third Soul Skills to create a brand-new Soul Skill. The effect is to lock onto a target, instantly teleport behind them, and deliver a guaranteed strike that deals massive damage," Zhu Zhuqing explained.
"The only downside is that it consumes a lot of Soul Power. Using it once drains 20% of my Soul Power."
She could feel that this was a Soul Skill entirely her own!
Although it still required the cooperation of her first and third Soul Rings, it was indeed an independent Soul Skill.
Having four Soul Skills with three Soul Rings—this was something no one would believe if she told them.
"Impressive. Does this Soul Skill have a name?" Ye Feng nodded in approval.
"Not yet," Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.
"Then let's call it 'Netherworld Instant Hell Kill.' Its power is already close to that of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Skill," Ye Feng suggested a name.
"Netherworld Instant Hell Kill… what a great name!" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up, clearly very satisfied with the name.
At the same time, she felt immense gratitude toward Ye Feng.
She was thankful to Ye Feng for giving her the opportunity to create this Self-Created Soul Skill, and for naming it.
She was even more grateful to Ye Feng for bringing her into the Star Sect.
Such a great kindness—she had no way to repay it.
Hmm, if there was a chance…
For some reason, Zhu Zhuqing thought of "repaying him with her heart."
But she quickly dismissed the thought.
Even if she was willing, Ye Feng might not be…
If she were rejected, it would be awkward.
"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. Self-Created Soul Skills have growth potential. With diligent practice, you might gain unexpected benefits," Ye Feng waved his hand, reminding her.
His heaven-defying comprehension had no time limit. As long as he learned something, he could continuously ponder it in his mind every day, constantly improving the effects of his Self-Created Soul Skills.
But Zhu Zhuqing's heaven-defying comprehension had already ended, so she needed to train daily to solidify this Self-Created Soul Skill and gradually enhance it.
"Got it! I'll work hard!" Zhu Zhuqing said excitedly, leaving with a satisfied heart.
...
...
"Self-Created Soul Skills are too low-level. That's not what I'm after…" Ye Feng murmured to himself as he watched Zhu Zhuqing's departing figure.
During this period in the Douluo world, Self-Created Soul Skills were truly rare. For Zhu Zhuqing to possess one meant she could easily overpower opponents of the same level.
However, in Ye Feng's eyes, these were just ordinary.
A true Self-Created Soul Skill involved fusing all of one's Soul Skills to reach the level of comprehending the Rules!
The essence of Soul Skills was, in fact, the Rules.
Soul Rings were the medium through which Soul Skills were activated, allowing the use of Rule Power.
The higher the Soul Skill, the greater its power, and the more Rule Power it utilized.
As one's cultivation improved, their comprehension of the Rules deepened.
For example, a Hundred Year Soul Skill used by an 11th-level Soul Master and a Titled Douluo would undoubtedly be more powerful when used by the latter.
However, the utilization rate of the Rules was still minimal. A Hundred Year Soul Skill might only utilize 0.001% of the Rules.
Ye Feng's fourth Soul Skill, [Icefire Dominator], although only a Fifty Thousand Year Soul Skill, had a utilization rate of nearly 100% for the ice and fire Rules due to the Dragon Soul.
Because the Icefire Dominator encompasses all ice and fire-type Soul Skills, it is equivalent to countless "Self-Created Soul Skills."
However, his cultivation level is not yet sufficient. Currently, he can only utilize the rules but cannot control them! Tang Wulin has dozens of flashy skills, which he eventually merged into one, creating the [Dragon Emperor Forbidden Technique]. This was achieved through his profound understanding of Soul Skills, allowing him to grasp a portion of the "rules," which is why it possesses such immense power. Ye Feng possesses an extraordinary comprehension ability, and creating Self-Created Soul Skills is like child's play for him, merely adding icing on the cake.
To significantly increase combat power, one must integrate and master the rules.
Comprehending the rules takes time, after all, [Heaven-Defying Comprehension] is only a golden Lexical Trait, not a colored one, and cannot achieve instant understanding.
Mastering the rules, on the other hand, requires cultivation. Ye Feng estimates that when he reaches the level of Soul Emperor, he should be able to preliminarily control the rules of ice and fire.
At that time, he can head to the Extreme North to meet the two rulers, the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor...
Of course, creating ordinary Self-Created Soul Skills is simple for Ye Feng.
Ye Feng also attempted to create Soul Skills in Holy Soul Village, such as the [Dragon Scale Shield], which was one of them.
There's also the [Fiery Eyes of Truth], combined with the Starry Eyes. It may seem impressive, but it's essentially just shooting flames from the eyes, without increasing power—it's just flashy.
There are many other flashy skills, with average power but suitable for showing off.
Another significant improvement is that Ye Feng integrated the effects of his first Soul Skill, [Star Dragon's Might], and his second Soul Skill, [Star Body], into the [Star Domain].
This added the effects of suppressing the opponent's combat power and enhancing his own within the [Star Domain], somewhat similar to the Angel Domain but even more powerful.
In reality, it's still three Soul Skills, but Ye Feng has integrated them seamlessly. The power hasn't increased, but it's much easier to execute.
In simple terms, Soul Power efficiency has greatly increased, and Soul Power consumption has decreased.
It's like electric cars in the past, where one kilowatt-hour could drive 10 kilometers, but with increased efficiency, one kilowatt-hour can now drive 20 kilometers—the improvement is quite noticeable.
...
Meanwhile.
In Heaven Dou City.
Several youthful-looking teenagers, accompanied by a few adults, were heading towards Blue Tyrant Academy.
This group was none other than the members from Shrek.
Liu Erlong originally intended to seek out Flender to inquire about Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts, but she didn't expect Yu Xiaogang to also be at Shrek Academy, which delighted her.
Liu Erlong expressed her feelings to Yu Xiaogang, but he remained steadfast in his refusal.
Although Liu Erlong was angry, she didn't give up and decided to stay at Shrek Academy.
However, Liu Erlong soon learned about Shrek's predicament and discussed with Flender the possibility of merging Blue Tyrant Academy with Shrek Academy.
This would allow Tang San and the others to train at Blue Tyrant Academy.
Flender was naturally thrilled, and Yu Xiaogang, knowing that Shrek was essentially finished, reluctantly accepted this arrangement.
The other teachers at Shrek naturally had no objections.
After preparing for over a month, they finally arrived in Heaven Dou City.
At this moment, except for Dai Mubai, the other members of Shrek were all curiously examining the academy, much like country folk entering the city, fascinated by everything they saw.
Apart from Dai Mubai, the others were essentially poor and had never seen such a luxurious academy before.
Even though Blue Tyrant Academy was far inferior to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, compared to Shrek, it was like heaven versus a doghouse.
"This place is huge, way better than our Shrek..." Oscar stared at the surroundings of Blue Tyrant Academy, his face filled with awe.
After all, his main focus was on the female students in their uniforms, showing off their long legs.
"Oscar, you better quit your bad habits. If I find out you're harassing the female students here, I'll castrate you on the spot!" Liu Erlong glanced at Oscar and spoke coldly.
She had spent quite some time at Shrek and naturally knew about Oscar's "bad habits."
Sometimes this bastard even dared to leer at her, which was utterly outrageous! If it weren't for the fact that he was a child adopted by Flender and had decent talent, she would have cremated him long ago! "Teacher Erlong, don't worry, I'll definitely restrain myself!"
Oscar was so scared he almost lost his nerve and quickly waved his hands in denial.
Ever since he was caught leering at Liu Erlong and got beaten up, he had finally learned to control himself.
At least he wouldn't leer in public anymore, which was already a significant improvement.
"Better be!"
Liu Erlong snorted coldly before finally averting her gaze.
