Chapter 40: Further Exploring The First Spirit Skill

The tactics of the opponents were somewhat different from what Yu Tianheng and the other three had anticipated.

However, it wasn't a big problem.

Since Su Wen was charging towards them, Yu Tianheng was not at all intimidated.

However, as Su Wen and Yu Tianheng approached each other with a strong collision force, Yu Feng only hovered in the air, not launching a real attack to avoid being entangled by Dugu Yan.

His task in this battle was to prevent Su Wen from attempting aerial prolonged tactics.

Now that Su Wen came up and collided with Yu Tianheng, both Yu Tianheng and Yu Feng thought Su Wen was going to take off again using the same method and quickly launch a surprise attack on their side.

However, this time they were wrong.

Flames crazily compressed above Su Wen's right fist creating a sense of an explosion that was uncontrollable.

"First Spirit Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

Yu Tianheng didn't use all his Spirit Skills, he just used the First Spirit Skill to probe Su Wen.

"Flame Fist!"

Su Wen punched out.

A rich white light nourished his right fist from within, and the injuries caused by the burning flames quickly healed.

Su Wen endured the pain, forcibly integrating his compression of the flames and the explosiveness into the Flame Fist technique, and then unleashed a true Flame Fist.

Boom!

"This is Xiao Zhan's Flame Fist." Qin Ming, who was watching, was also surprised. He didn't expect Su Wen to have already learned Xiao Zhan's Flame Fist.

This was no less than gaining another Spirit Skill of the same level.

For a Spirit Grand Master, it was in no way inferior to a hundred-year Spirit Skill, and it could even rival powerful offensive Spirit Skills like those from thousand-year-old Spirits.

"From Xiaowen's appearance, it seems that he can't use it freely; the burden on him is still significant."

Qin Ming quickly discovered the truth.

Ye Lingling continuously activated her Spirit Skill to support Su Wen, evidently exerting maximum effort to provide constant healing for him.

Boom!

Su Wen's fist and Yu Tianheng's claw collided, and the power of thunder and the explosive flames erupted, emitting a deafening roar.

A massive airflow spurted out from Su Wen's fist, forming a conical shape with his fist as the apex in the instant of the explosion of flames and thunder, isolating him from most of the flames and thunderous power.

"Hahaha, good!" Yu Tianheng's eyes lit up, he laughed out loud, and once again engaged in another collision with Su Wen using the Thunder Dragon Claw.

Su Wen condensed flames on both fists and engaged in close combat with Yu Tianheng.

"Is this a self-created Spirit Skill?" Osler and Yu Feng were dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded that Su Wen could erupt like this.

Previously, they could still consider Su Wen's display of Paper Wings, Fireballs, and Wind Blades as a development of Spirit Skills, but now, Flame Fist was definitely more than just a development of Spirit Skills. It should be a self-created Spirit Skill that a Spirit Master could cultivate on their own.

"Not inferior to a hundred-year Spirit Skill of a Spirit Elder. By this calculation, Su Wen has 2 one-hundred-year Spirit Skills, one thousand-year-old Spirit Skill, and only lacks the total amount of Soul Power compared to a true Spirit Elder."

Moreover, Su Wen has a freakishly fast recovery speed in terms of total Soul Power.

Yu Feng and Osler both felt a bit frustrated, feeling that Su Wen could truly be treated as a Spirit Elder now.

And Su Wen is only eleven years old!

Seeing that Su Wen's collision with Yu Tianheng didn't clearly fall into a disadvantage, Dugu Yan, surprised but not forgetting the original plan, took action.

The Jade Phosphor Violet Poison spreads.

On the training ground, Su Wen clashed with Yu Tianheng while Dugu Yan and Shi Mo, along with Ye Lingling, engaged in battle with Osler, Yu Feng, and Shi Mô.

With Dugu Yan, a control-type Spirit Master, and Shi Mo guarding Ye Lingling throughout, Osler and Yu Feng were constantly restrained and quickly taken down.

In the Heaven Dou Emperor Team, Yu Tianheng is the captain, undoubtedly the strongest combat force, while Dugu Yan is the vice-captain. Although not as strong in direct combat as Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan holds the entire team together.

Thanks to the restraint that control-type Spirit Masters have on agility-attack types, she handles Osler and Yu Feng relatively easily.

But during this process, Su Wen didn't find it very easy.

"Tianheng, you've lost." Dugu Yan and Shi Mo surrounded Yu Tianheng from three directions, pronouncing judgment on him.

Three against one, no, with Ye Lingling providing healing, it's four against one. How could they lose?

Although Dugu Yan and Shi Mo are not in great condition, with significant Soul Power consumption despite not having serious injuries, Yu Tianheng has also consumed a considerable amount.

Su Wen forced him to use his Third Spirit Skill!

"Ah, I didn't expect your combat abilities to be so excellent, Su Wen." Yu Tianheng gave up struggling, smiled bitterly, and said.

Su Wen, a twenty-third level Spirit Grand Master, managed to battle him, a thirty-third level Spirit Elder for more than ten minutes!

Su Wen remained silent for a while, and after the pain in his body decreased somewhat under the continuous illumination of Ye Lingling's purple light, he finally spoke.

"I was only able to unleash that move just now under Sister Lingling's treatment," Su Wen explained.

In fact, it was Su Wen and Ye Lingling's cooperation that dragged Yu Tianheng for ten minutes.

"You just used Xiao Zhan's Flame Fist, right? I didn't expect you, at only level twenty-three, to master his technique" Yu Tianheng marveled.

Xiao Zhan, the Fire Demon, has his own self-created Spirit Skill line, the Fire Demon Style, which is also quite famous. There are many in the Spirit Master world who wish to learn it, and Xiao Zhan also has several Heaven Dou Level disciples, each of whom specializes in fire-element control Spirit Skills. However, none of them have mastered even one of the combat techniques within the Fire Demon Style, such as the Flame Fist.

Self-created Spirit Skills can be learned later in life, independent of Spirit Rings, and can also be passed down. However, the difficulty of inheriting them is not small.

Qin Ming made the final summary, and then let the eight of them go to practice individually.

Back in the library, Su Wen sat cross-legged circulating his Internal Strength while pondering over the two battles of the day.

"Stirring the fire element with the wind element indeed unleashes greater power," Su Wen remarked.

Su Wen had long thought of combining the two elements of wind and fire to perfect the Flame Fist. Today, with Ye Lingling's treatment and the direct collision with Yu Tianheng, he successfully attempted it under pressure.

The gains were considerable.

"Stirring the fire energy with the wind element to strengthen the explosive damage is just one aspect. I can also use the combination of wind and fire elements to unleash a fire tornado, which is a long-range offensive technique."

Continuously pondering over these thoughts, considering the techniques that might be needed, Su Wen's Soul Power also increased subtly as he meditated.

"Furthermore, it seems that there is still room for further exploration of my First Spirit Skill."

Previously, Su Wen had only regarded his First Spirit Skill as an enhancement spirit skill, but now he realized that there was still potential to be tapped into.

"The enhancement ability of my First Spirit Skill may not only apply to my Martial Spirit."

Starlight Fruit Tree, Starlight Fruit.

Reflecting on the origin of his first Spirit Ring and combining it with the sensation of unconsciously integrating book pages into his fists during today's battle, Su Wen had an idea.

"Perhaps, my book pages can also integrate into targets, strengthening them."

Just like the Starlight Fruit Tree bears Starlight Fruit, which strengthens the Spirit Beasts that consume them.

If it's feasible, that would be fantastic.

"My First Spirit Skill can truly be called an auxiliary spirit skill."
