With the strength of a Bone Douluo, ordinary Great Soul Masters probably can't even get close to him. Even practical combat soul techniques wouldn't have any effect on his formidable defense. Yet Yang Xiong's self-created soul technique not only managed to approach him but also caused his body to tremble slightly. This clearly demonstrated the power of this original soul technique.
Ning Fengzhi's expression grew extremely serious. Even the usually impassive Sword Douluo showed a hint of surprise.
"Uncle Gu, what do you think of this self-created soul technique? How powerful is it?"
The Bone Douluo nodded slightly. "The power is quite good, probably stronger than ordinary millennium soul techniques. However, Yang Xiong's soul power is too weak; he can only barely perform it."
After speaking, the Bone Douluo took out an object from his body, a piece of iron fir wood, about three meters wide and two meters long. Yang Xiong recognized it immediately; iron fir is one of the hardest types of wood.
"Yang Xiong, use that technique again on this iron fir wood. I want to observe it carefully."
Without hesitation, Yang Xiong condensed the Spiral Sphere again and struck the iron fir wood. Instantly, a half-meter-long hole appeared on the surface, but more surprisingly, the wood behind was completely shattered, with countless wood chips flying rapidly around the room. It was obvious the Spiral Sphere was indeed very powerful.
The Bone Douluo snorted coldly. All the flying wood chips were immediately pressed to the ground and quickly collected, as if they had never appeared.
Only then did Ning Fengzhi and the others notice the large hole in the iron fir wood: a half-meter hole in the front, with a small hole in the center, and the wood behind that was pulverized. Evidently, the technique's power exceeded their expectations.
Ning Fengzhi looked seriously at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, what do you think?"
Sword Douluo nodded, a rare show of approval. "If all Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda soul masters can use this self-created soul technique, it will definitely be the greatest discovery in our sect's history. It could even make up for some of our sect's weaknesses."
The biggest problem for the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Sect was that the sect leader had no offensive power, not even self-defense capability. Every time he went out, he had to be accompanied by title Douluos, and during battles needed close protection, severely limiting the effectiveness of these Douluos.
In the original story, the Spirit Hall dispatched four title Douluos plus ten thousand soul masters to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Sect. Given Ning Fengzhi's and the Sword and Bone Douluos' strength, they weren't afraid of the four title Douluos, but the continuous attacks by the ten thousand soul masters restrained Bone Douluo's power. If Ning Fengzhi had offensive and defensive abilities, the situation would have been very different.
This was one of the reasons Yang Xiong was determined to contribute his Spiral Sphere technique.
Ning Fengzhi looked a bit excited. "Yang Xiong, or should I call you Xiao Xiong? Xiao Xiong, can any soul master really cultivate this self-created technique?"
Yang Xiong didn't hesitate. He took out a thick stack of papers, detailing every step to cultivate the Spiral Sphere, including specific requirements for soul power and spirit control.
Ning Fengzhi and the others looked at the cultivation steps with amazement. They hadn't expected such a problem, unsolved for generations in the sect, to be so easily resolved by Yang Xiong. This technique seemed to have infinite potential, the power would grow as Yang Xiong's soul power increased.
Ning Fengzhi's face was full of delight. "Xiao Xiong, you have made a tremendous contribution to the sect this time. Do you want any rewards? Whatever you ask, the sect will provide."
Ning Fengzhi's words carried great weight. The Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Sect was the richest sect in the world; even the most precious spirit bones were not lacking.
Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking. "Sect Leader, I think I've basically completed the development of Spiral Sphere, but I feel this is just the prototype. If elemental energy can be infused into it, the power could be greater. However, my current divided mind control has only reached the 'Five Openings Scattered Heart' stage. I want to learn the final two stages of divided mind control."
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly. "Xiao Xiong, you're already an inner disciple of our sect. Inner disciples all have the right to learn divided mind control. The library only has the first five levels because they want to prevent leaks. The last two levels require oral transmission, so it's not a big deal."
"You and Rongrong are classmates and on good terms, right? I'll have Rongrong personally teach you the last two levels, and you can teach her Spiral Sphere in return."
Yang Xiong internally rolled his eyes. Ning Fengzhi, where did you see me and Ning Rongrong getting along well? That little witch still tries to avoid me.
"Sect Leader, although the Spiral Sphere is not complicated to develop, it demands very strong spirit control from the soul master. Only those who reach the 'Five Openings Scattered Heart' stage can barely cultivate it, and it consumes a lot of soul power. So far, I can only use it three times in half an hour, so I don't recommend soul masters below the sect level cultivate it, as it might affect the support ability of the sect's soul masters."
"Besides, my martial soul differs somewhat from the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda's. It's best to have someone verify it. After all, this is my independent development."
Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Xiao Xiong, you really care about the sect. I will arrange for verification as soon as possible. Do you have any other requests? Like treasures or spirit coins?"
Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking. "I have two small requests I hope the sect can fulfill."
Ning Fengzhi said, "Tell me your requests. The sect won't mistreat anyone who contributes."
Yang Xiong said, "Sect Leader, since I independently developed Spiral Sphere and am contributing it because I consider the sect my home, I hope the sect will not leak this technique, and especially not reveal that it was developed by me."
Ning Fengzhi nodded. "Rest assured, Xiao Xiong. From now on, Spiral Sphere will be a secret of the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Sect, taught only to absolutely trustworthy people. The sect will also ensure your safety."
"What's your second request? It won't be something simple again, right?"
Yang Xiong thought and said, "Sect Leader, I enjoy studying medicinal herbs. Could I be rewarded with a soul device that can store living things? I know these are rare, so if none are available, it's okay."
Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Xiao Xiong, you think too much. Our sect is the richest in the world. There happens to be a soul device for storing living things. I'll have Rongrong give it to you."
"By the way, is that all? Do you realize how valuable Spiral Sphere is to our sect?"
Yang Xiong said, "Sect Leader, I feel very comfortable inside the sect. I have always considered it my home and don't need other rewards."
