Looking at the indentation that was almost the depth of a palm, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel a bit of fear for her previous actions.
If Xiao Yan hadn't held back his strength, wouldn't the jade pendant she had worn for many years have been shattered?
Xiao Yan, unaware of the strange thoughts in Ning Rongrong's little head, continued to speak according to his own train of thought.
"Mastering the state of handling heavy things as if they were light will allow you to control your strength more precisely in future battles, which is also of considerable benefit."After speaking, Xiao Yan stood up, and a shimmering blue light flickered at his feet. The previously sunken land began to slowly recover.
He couldn't restore the compacted soil, but he could fill it with Blue Silver Emperor to prop up the ground.
"Now, Zhuqing, Rongrong, follow Xiaoxue and Xiao Yi to learn some gravity control techniques. I need to train Yiran alone, and I'll come find you later."
After the four left, Xiao Yan turned to Meng Yiran, who was dressed in a Raojiang-style outfit.
He had put quite a bit of thought into Meng Yiran's weighted clothing.First, Meng Yiran had silver, ear-length short hair, completely different from the Little Xue and Little Yi he usually interacted with.
Secondly, Meng Yiran had a graceful figure, even better than Zhu Zhuqing's.
In addition, unlike Zhu Zhuqing's youthful and pure temperament, Meng Yiran possessed a bewitching aura like a beautiful snake, charming and alluring.
Therefore, he chose a Rao Jiang style with a completely different clothing style.
Meng Yiran wore a glittering silver headdress and a delicate silver choker around her neck, with many exquisite embroideries on the dark blue fabric.Besides, Meng Yiran had a string of small bells tied around her slender waist, which was as delicate as willow catkins and could be easily held in one hand. With the slightest movement, they would emit a crisp, tinkling sound.
Beneath her short skirt were a pair of slender, jade-like legs, clad in white stockings.
The effect seemed quite good.
After sizing up Meng Yiran, Xiao Yan asked, "What is your third soul skill?"
The corners of Meng Yiran's mouth curved slightly upward, and three soul rings, yellow, yellow, and purple, emerged from beneath her feet. In an instant, the purple soul ring of the Man-Faced Demon Spider suddenly flashed.
"Third soul skill, Spider Web Spray!"Meng Yiran swung her snake staff, and the snake head at the top suddenly opened, instantly shooting out a purple light sphere.
The light sphere rapidly expanded in the wind, transforming into a huge purple spider web that enveloped Xiao Yan, completely blocking his escape routes.
"Is it mimicking the spider web-spitting trait of the human-faced demon spider?"
After a soul master absorbs a soul ring, they integrate some characteristics of the soul beast that provided the soul ring, forming a soul skill with their own martial soul.
Meng Yiran's snake staff is not just a simple cane; her martial soul had previously spat out a snake blade.
"Retract!"Xiao Yan raised his hand above his head, and a powerful force of absorption immediately burst forth from his palm.
A fierce wind swept up, and the purple spider web shot from Meng Yiran's snake staff flew towards Xiao Yan even more rapidly.
However, when it came within a meter of Xiao Yan, the purple spider web transformed into specks of energy and surged into Xiao Yan's palm.
"How could this be?" Meng Yiran found it hard to believe.
There was no doubt about Xiao Yan's formidable strength.But within a distance of three to four meters between the two, she suddenly launched a web spray. It would be understandable if Xiao Yan dodged, but such an action...
With two swift movements of the snake staff in her hand, Meng Yiran shot out two more bursts of purple light, which quickly transformed into webs.
Layer upon layer, Xiao Yan was immediately enveloped in a dense purple light.
However, he had no intention of dodging. The suction force in his palm surged, directly devouring the energy of the three webs, leaving only a piece that fell into his palm.
"Be careful, it's poisonous!" Meng Yiran anxiously warned.Xiao Yan waved his hand: "It's fine, my body is immune to all poisons. Although your spider web carries toxins, it has no effect on me."
Watching her highly toxic spider web being toyed with in Xiao Yan's hands, Meng Yiran grimaced.
Not only was she no match for Xiao Yan in strength, but even her poison had no effect on him!
What on earth could penetrate Xiao Yan's defenses?
Twisting the purple spider web in his hand, Xiao Yan analyzed: "Your third soul skill seems to have absorbed the strongest characteristics of the Human-faced Demon Spider's web-spitting ability. Not only is it extremely tough, but it also carries a troublesome toxin."Even a level 40 Soul Ancestor would find it difficult to dodge three times in a row, and due to the poison, if they were to get even a little bit on them, the enemy would likely be in trouble."
Meng Yiran nodded and said, "My spider web is indeed similar to the ability of the Face Demon Spider to shoot webs. How did you manage to do that just now? Although my spider web is energy condensed, its toughness is not much inferior to that of the Face Demon Spider's webs."With a thought, he completely devoured the spider web energy in his palm. Xiao Yan explained, "I possess the ability to devour. Even toxic energy can be directly absorbed and transformed due to my powerful strength. Attacks in energy form are basically ineffective against me."
"Ah?" Meng Yiran was greatly surprised. "Doesn't that mean that, apart from close-combat soul masters, other soul masters can no longer harm you?"
Xiao Yan shook his head. "Soul masters' martial souls and soul skills are very strange. Unless there's an absolute difference in strength, I won't recklessly devour energy.""It seems your third soul skill is quite good. Next, I will teach you martial arts."
Casually condensing a snake staff with Blue Silver Emperor, Xiao Yan said, "Before formally teaching you martial arts, I need to tell you something in advance."
"Speak," Meng Yiran said indifferently.
Xiao Yan sighed and said, "Because the martial arts I teach you are all self-created, this creates a problem. Some martial arts will be very powerful because of my strong talent, while others will be mediocre due to my limited aptitude.""It's a pity that weapon spirits like the Serpent Staff are not my forte, and I haven't seen many spirit skills, so what I can teach you is quite limited."
Although it's quite harsh, Xiao Yan didn't want to hide the truth.
The martial arts he mastered indeed have a significant disparity in power.
Especially after witnessing the top-tier Title Douluos and spirit beasts of the Douluo Continent.
Ordinary martial arts stand no chance of even breaking the defense of such high-level creatures.
Telling the truth early would also prevent Meng Yiran from facing similar awkward situations in the future.
"Ah?"Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Meng Yiran was a little disappointed.
She originally thought that by following Xiao Yan to learn, she could also master martial arts with power comparable to a Titled Douluo's soul skill.
Xiao Yan comforted her, "Don't be too discouraged. In the end, I'm just one person. What I want to teach you isn't these specific martial arts moves, but the mindset of creating your own martial arts in conjunction with your own martial soul."
"The mindset of creating your own martial arts?" Meng Yiran gripped the snake staff in her hand, could she do it too?Xiao Yan nodded affirmatively: "There are countless soul masters on the continent, and the types of martial souls are even more numerous. If I rely on myself to create martial arts suitable for all martial souls, it's simply unrealistic.
Moreover, once I die, the inheritance of martial arts may be lost in the long river of time. Only when everyone thinks about creating their own martial arts and then passing them on to future generations, and future generations innovate further on the basis of their predecessors, can a virtuous cycle be formed, making martial arts stronger and stronger."
Meng Yiran felt that this idea was good, but people are selfish.Meng Yiran wasn't optimistic, saying, "People from large families hoard any good things they get. If they create martial arts, who would give them away for nothing? I'm afraid that even after martial arts are created, they are destined to be lost."
Thinking of the Jin Yong martial arts world he had read, martial arts were constantly declining, and the situation was almost as Meng Yiran described.
Xiao Yan gave a wry smile, "This is indeed a problem, and I've been thinking about how to solve it."
He had been thinking about how to transform the Douluo world into a martial arts world where everyone practiced martial arts.Right now, there are only some vague ideas, and we are still thinking about how to implement them specifically.
"Now, let me teach you a set of staff techniques that I have comprehended. You can try to learn something from it to create your own martial arts. If you are unsure about anything, you can ask me."
"Okay." Meng Yiran tightly gripped the snake staff in her hand.
"Watch carefully!"With a deep shout, Xiao Yan swung the blue-golden serpent staff in his hand, whirling it like the wind.
The techniques of striking, lifting, chopping, sweeping, thrusting, flicking, and deflecting, though seemingly simple, had already grasped the essence of staff combat.
"Is this the same staff technique Xiao Yan used before?" Meng Yiran, with her nearly photographic memory, quickly recalled the staff technique Xiao Yan had previously demonstrated as she saw it again.
After a careful comparison, Meng Yiran murmured, "No, it seems somewhat different now."
Indeed, the serpent staff technique Xiao Yan was using now was different from before.Although he had seen very few soul masters who specialized in staff techniques, this did not mean he couldn't apply insights gained from other areas to staff techniques!
His battle with the Sword Douluo had also given him many realizations.
Now, when using the staff technique, there was an added sharpness of the sword.
The offensive power was even stronger, and he had witnessed Meng Yiran's second soul skill, the Tongue Blade.
While wielding the serpent staff, a coldly gleaming tongue blade would occasionally appear, delivering a sudden strike.
After completing a set of staff techniques, Xiao Yan put away his serpent staff: "Now it's your turn to try."Meng Yiran nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and also brandished her snake staff.
With a near-photographic memory and using her spirit weapon that she had been familiar with for ten years, the whole staff technique, although newly learned, already had a considerable semblance of form.
Compared to the forceful and vigorous style displayed by Xiao Yan, Meng Yiran's use of it had a feminine charm unique to women.
Moreover, with each swing of the snake staff, the bells on her body would make a tinkling sound, as if she were dancing.
However, Meng Yiran was carrying fifty pounds of weight, and after completing a set of staff techniques, she was already panting slightly.Xiao Yan looked at her with considerable surprise, "Your memory is truly outstanding. You actually memorized the entire staff technique after seeing it only once. This is your strength. But techniques are rigid. Simply memorizing techniques is not enough. You need to understand and integrate them to unleash even greater power."
"I understand." Meng Yiran, who was originally secretly pleased with her talent, immediately restrained her smile and nodded seriously.
"You used your second soul skill several times just now, so your soul power should be significantly depleted. Take a Blue Silver Qi Recovery Pill." Xiao Yan flicked his finger and shot out a blue-gold pill.Taking the Blue Silver Qi Returning Pill from Xiao Yan, Meng Yiran swallowed it, and immediately felt her soul power, which had been consumed just now, rapidly recovering.
Both of them cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and their origins were almost the same. After Meng Yiran took the Blue Silver Qi Returning Pill for only a few breaths, she recovered most of her soul power.
"I have prepared a lot of Blue Silver Qi Returning Pills. When your soul power is greatly consumed, you can take one, which can reduce your soul power recovery time and give you more time to cultivate."
Xiao Yan tapped the Blue Silver Qi Returning Pill with his finger, took out a jade bottle, and handed it to Meng Yiran.Taking the jade bottle, Meng Yiran smiled and nodded.
Following Xiao Yan's training methods was completely different from the usual academy courses she attended.
Undoubtedly, such training methods were more effective in cultivating powerful soul masters.
At this moment, Xiao Yan also remembered an important question.
"By the way, how is your control over the external soul bone?"
Meng Yiran put away the jade bottle and said, "Although I'm not very proficient in controlling it yet, it's much better than when I first fused with it."
"External soul bones are extremely rare, and I don't have much information about them."However, I believe it should be related to your physical fitness. Once your physical fitness becomes stronger, you will fully master the external soul bone of the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Meng Yiran nodded in agreement: "After the second medicinal bath, I also have this feeling."
"Go and call Zhuqing over."
Not long after, Zhu Qing walked over gracefully.
Today, Zhu Qing also had her own outfit.
The upper part of her dress was light blue, with a large bow at the chest, and the lower part was a white apron-style skirt, resembling the style of a maid's uniform overall.A pair of light white stockings adorned her fair jade legs, secured with a pair of bows at the top.
They both accentuated Zhu Zhuqing's snow-like skin and provided some warmth for her legs.
A white cat-ear hair accessory sat atop her head, lending an overall cute style.
However, Zhu Zhuqing's figure was graceful and sexy, and the combination of these two distinct qualities made her even more captivating.
Being with Zhu Zhuqing made Xiao Yan feel much more relaxed. He walked forward with a smile and took her soft little hand: "How are you settling in?""Are Rongrong and the others still over there?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, blushing slightly.
Xiao Yan chuckled, "So jealous and so shy, you're such a cute girl..."
After a couple of rubs to satisfy his craving, Xiao Yan didn't continue to be lovey-dovey with Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing said softly, "I started wearing the weighted clothes a day earlier than Rongrong, so I'm more proficient at controlling them."
"As for you, I have nothing new to teach you. The Crushing Claw and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step are the most suitable martial arts for you."
