Level 38?!
This girl, who looks much younger than me, actually has a soul power level of 38?!
This is even more terrifying than knowing she is at the Soul Venerable realm.
Many people stared at Qian Yuelong in astonishment.
Having been thrust into the spotlight, Qian Yuelong knew she had no choice but to comply. She glanced at the faculty members standing with their hands behind their backs along the track and asked after a moment's thought, "If I can use soul power, can I also use soul skills?"
Wei Ming nodded: "Soul skills can be used as long as it does not harm anyone."
"What about the three teachers on duty? Can they use other soul skills, or are they limited to gravity-related soul skills?" Qian Yuelong asked cautiously.
Despite his young age, he's quite cunning.
Wei Ming's smile deepened as he gave a definite answer: "Only gravity-based soul skills are allowed."
Qian Yuelong nodded knowingly and muttered softly, "That's fair enough."
The other students who heard Qian Yuelong's whispered words were like: "???"
Is that fair? Why don't they think so?
Amidst the subtle, varied gazes of the crowd, Qian Yuelong calmly walked to the starting line in the middle of the track, stretched her wrists and ankles, and raised her voice to call out to Wei Ming, "I'm ready, Teacher Wei."
Wei Ming raised his hand, signaling the students of Class 3 to retreat to the open space in the center of the playground and not to occupy the running track.
"Let's begin."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Yuelong's aura suddenly surged, and she sprang out from her spot. Her toes touched the red-painted ground, and with the support of her soul power, her speed exploded at full speed. In the blink of an eye, she had already floated more than ten meters away, forty meters away, and nearly eighty meters away, about to enter the range of the first six-ring Soul Emperor's soul skill!
"So fast, is she an agility-type Soul Master?" In the middle of the playground, a girl of the agility-type Soul Master standing in the crowd had her pupils shrink. Even she only had time to catch a glimpse of Qian Yuelong's afterimage trailing on the track.
The other students, who were also agility-type Soul Masters, also widened their eyes and stared intently at Qian Yuelong's movements.
The previously nonchalant Six-Ring Soul Emperor was startled. He hadn't expected that in just a breath, Qian Yuelong had already run more than halfway across the track he was in charge of. His tiger-like eyes widened, and he stomped his right foot heavily on the ground. Six powerful soul rings flew up from his feet, with the fifth soul ring shining brightly.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Gravity Mud Swamp!"
A dark light shone from the ground, and the hard, flat track turned into soft clay, causing all the forces covering it to sink into it, as if an invisible iron claw had grabbed Qian Yuelong on the track and dragged her into the swampy hell below.
Qian Yuelong's aura deepened, and the silver-white bangs that clung to her forehead swayed, exposing the golden wing patterns that looked like branding marks to the air, before they were quickly covered by the falling bangs.
"Buzz—"
Three purple halos materialized from the void and spread outwards, like a thousand-petaled lotus, and the golden lotus of the floating world, carrying a sacred aura, bloomed in her raised palm.
The crystalline lotus petals, tinged with other colors, trembled slightly. The immense soul power was continuously squeezed out and condensed into a fist-sized, cyan-gold mini lotus, which materialized beneath Qian Yuelong's feet as she was about to sink.
"Boom!!"
The arc-shaped shield formed by the azure flames was stepped on by Qian Yuelong, and the concentrated soul power in the mini lotus that appeared in the void suddenly exploded. The violent explosion wave distorted space and disrupted the airflow.
It's like a solid, sturdy wall, where someone suddenly poked a small hole in the corner, creating a crack in this otherwise flawless wall.
Now!
The bones cracked and popped as they were being squeezed, but Qian Yuelong remained unfazed. She activated the Heavenly Evolution Technique at high speed, filling her limbs and bones with spiritual energy and continuously converting it into a force to resist the viscous gravity in the air.
Like a piece of refined iron held in iron tongs and roasted in a high-temperature flame, it undergoes a transformation through repeated high-temperature smelting.
Seizing the opportunity, Qian Yuelong used the turbulent airflow generated by the explosion to tear open a gap under the powerful gravitational pressure, and darted out, completely escaping the range of the six-ring Soul Emperor's gravity soul skill, landing in a safe zone with a gap between her and the next gravity soul skill.
"Wow, I can't believe it!"
"If you can't blow up others, why not just blow yourself up? How ruthless."
"Are you blind? Wasn't they on defense? Didn't you see that shield formed by flames?"
"But her spirit rings weren't lit up before that fiery lotus appeared!"
"No way? Wasn't it lit up behind us?"
"You said it yourself, it happened later. This... this could be..."
"A self-created soul skill?!"
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell, and even Wei Ming's eyes showed surprise.
Self-created soul skills are abilities that allow a soul master to utilize the unique characteristics of their martial soul, without needing to absorb soul rings from soul beasts to acquire skills. Instead, they directly create new soul skills, representing an advanced and mutated form of soul skill. Some self-created soul skills can even surpass the power of soul skills acquired through soul rings.
However, only those soul masters who can create their own soul skills have exceptional talent and an extremely terrifying control over their soul power, in order to have a chance of comprehending their own soul skills.
The only thing to note is that creating your own soul skill will consume twice as much soul power as creating a soul ring skill, or even more.
He never expected that a simple classroom lesson would bring him such a pleasant surprise.
A smile flickered in Wei Ming's eyes. Actually, this was the first time he had allowed the students to experience the effects of three different gravity fields, because the talents and cultivation levels of the Soul Masters who entered the Spirit Hall Academy each year were different.
Unlike other advanced soul master academies with a single teaching method, the Spirit Hall Academy tends to teach according to individual aptitude, developing different teaching tasks based on the situation of each new class of students.
Like previous freshmen, the only teaching task on the first day of school was to run a few hundred laps around the track without any artificial obstacles.
Of course, the track they were going to run on wasn't the No. 2 track, which is only 400 meters long, but the largest track in their academy, the No. 1 track, which is almost 1200 meters long. All the students, who were still at the Great Soul Master level, were exhausted after running the track and had to be carried back to their dormitories by the campus guards.
However, Wei Ming wouldn't go into the details of previous sessions, he would only talk about the final results. After all, he hadn't lied to anyone, had he?
Under Wei Ming's smiling gaze, Qian Yuelong still entered the range of the second-ranked five-ring Soul King's soul skill.
Having learned from the first example, he wouldn't let Qian Yuelong catch him off guard and then use his gravity soul skill to restrain her. Instead, he activated his fourth soul skill early on, waiting for Qian Yuelong to willingly step into the trap.
"We've entered the range of the second gravity field!"
Someone murmured.
Hu Liena frowned, looking worriedly at Qian Yuelong, who had already stepped into the second gravity field with one foot, and felt a pang of anxiety for her.
Having lost the initiative, Yuelong, how will you break this deadlock this time?
Qian Yuelong's answer to everyone was the lighting of her first spirit ring.
"First Soul Skill, Azure Flame!"
Cool-toned blue flames surged forth from the Floating World Golden Lotus held in Qian Yuelong's palm, like a whirlwind. In the blink of an eye, it spun rapidly into a fiery tornado, igniting the air and producing a series of crackling sounds.
