In the Black World, the people of Shrek Academy.
"This... this has completely stripped bare the underlying logic of Spirit Abilities and Self-Created Spirit Abilities!"
Zhao Wuji's voice was filled with shock.
Previously, he didn't have a concrete concept of Self-Created Spirit Abilities.
But after Yu Xiaogang's research—how Self-Created Spirit Abilities are formed, how they should be created, and what kind of results they would roughly have after creation...
Even though Zhao Wuji hadn't specifically tried everything yet, he now had a relatively simple concept of it all.
It was truly because Yu Xiaogang had presented everything regarding Self-Created Spirit Abilities with such absolute clarity.
"In that case, my Spirit Abilities..."
Following the examples shown by Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji began to combine and match his own Self-Created Spirit Abilities in his mind on the spot.
His First Spirit Ability, Immovable Bright King Body, could repel attacks within a certain range around his body.
His Second Spirit Skill, Vigor Vajra Palm, could turn his hands into bear paws, significantly increasing his attack power.
His Third Spirit Ability, Gravity Amplification, could suppress opponents with gravity, making them unable to move.
His Fourth Spirit Ability, Locating Trace, could place his fourth spirit ring onto an opponent, allowing him to instantly close the distance between himself and the opponent within a certain range.
If he were to dismantle useful characteristics from these four Spirit Abilities and combine them...
"I could perhaps combine the tracking characteristic of the Fourth Spirit Ability with the gravity-imposing characteristic of the Third Spirit Ability."
"Wouldn't that form a Spirit Ability where the spirit ring is placed on the opponent, keeping them suppressed by gravity at all times?"
With just a little thought, Zhao Wuji came up with a usage that was extremely useful for him.
His Third Spirit Ability, Gravity Amplification, was considered a field-control type ability, but because it had a range limit, it was very useful in close-quarters combat but ineffective against distant opponents.
Like that fellow Flender.
The reason Zhao Wuji wasn't the Dean of Shrek Academy—besides the fact that he didn't want to manage things—was partly because he couldn't beat Flender.
When the other party sparred with him, he would simply fly high into the sky and continuously use long-range attacks to wear him down until he was defeated.
And in his battles with Flender, his only chance of victory was relying on the tracking characteristic of his Fourth Spirit Ability to instantly close the distance and see if he could defeat him in one go.
So Zhao Wuji understood his own characteristics very well: he was heavy and clumsy, powerless against distant opponents.
This was also somewhat evident during his battle with Tang San back then.
Therefore, when he thought about how he could combine his Fourth Spirit Ability, Locating Trace, with his Third Spirit Ability, Gravity Amplification...
...to form a Self-Created Spirit Ability that stayed on the opponent and kept them suppressed by his gravity field, Zhao Wuji decided on the spot that he must research and develop this Self-Created Spirit Ability.
Imagine if he developed such a Spirit Ability and then sparred with Flender again.
If he used this move directly on Flender, could Flender still circle freely above his head like he used to during their spars?
Absolutely impossible!
Wouldn't his win rate increase significantly then?
"Indeed, I always said that the Yu Xiaogang from the parallel world is the true Grandmaster. Just look at the things he has come up with through his thinking and research."
"Not only is the theory simple and easy to understand, but one can see at a glance just how massive an impact this set of theories has for a Spirit Master."
"Unlike certain people..."
Zhao Wuji cast a disdainful glance at the nearby Yu Xiaogang.
Both were researchers, but that Dragon God Douluo from the parallel world had discovered one practical thing after another for Spirit Masters.
Whale Glue, Martial Soul evolution methods, hidden uses of spirit rings, plus now the underlying logic of Self-Created Spirit Abilities.
Isn't this infinitely more brilliant than their own World's Yu Xiaogang's set of theories, which were formed by plagiarizing and summarizing books from Spirit Hall and his own Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?
The other man had truly discovered things that no one had ever found before; the two were simply Worlds apart!
Flender, who was nearby, easily noticed Zhao Wuji's gaze.
But what could he say?
Nowadays, whenever he opened his mouth to speak for his good brother, it was no different from humiliating him.
Because anyone with eyes could see that his good brother simply couldn't compare to the other person.
So in the end, Flender could only pretend not to see.
Compared to Flender's complex emotions, the others were much more excited.
After all, now that the underlying logic of Self-Created Spirit Abilities had been laid bare by Yu Xiaogang, everyone was enthusiastically discussing how they should create their own Self-Created Spirit Abilities.
"My Phoenix Fire Wire is a unidirectional long-range attack. If I could combine it with my Second Spirit Skill, Bathing Fire Phoenix, wouldn't it form a close-range attack Spirit Ability?"
"The kind of Spirit Ability where whoever tries to attack me has to take a blast of my Phoenix Fire Wire?"
Ma Hongjun said with an excited face.
"Good idea. Speaking of which, what should I do if I want to research a Self-Created Spirit Ability for my Sausage Spirit?"
"No matter how I combine them, it's always Sausages. Looking at it this way, it seems I don't really have a need to research Self-Created Spirit Abilities?"
Oscar scratched his head and said somewhat despondently.
"Actually, no one said that Self-Created Spirit Abilities can only combine characteristics of Spirit Abilities; combining Spirit Ability characteristics with your own techniques works too."
Xiao Wu spoke up after hearing Oscar's words.
Her own Instant Kill Eight Stage Drop was a Self-Created Spirit Ability formed by combining her First Spirit Ability, Waist Bow, with her own techniques.
"Oh right, just like Tang San's Self-Created Spirit Abilities!"
Reminded by Xiao Wu, Oscar finally remembered that there was someone right beside them who had mastered several Self-Created Spirit Abilities.
Given the characteristics of the other's Blue Silver Grass Spirit, those Self-Created Spirit Abilities clearly couldn't have been formed by combining Blue Silver Grass Spirit Abilities.
"Tang San, Third Brother, tell your brothers about your experience!"
"Or just teach your brothers those Self-Created Spirit Abilities directly. Anyway, the threshold for Self-Created Spirit Abilities is going to be greatly lowered from now on."
Oscar walked right up to Tang San and put his arm around Tang San's shoulder.
However, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but when Oscar asked for Tang San's experience, a bone-chilling sensation washed over him, making him subconsciously shudder.
He looked up at the sun in the sky, wondering why he suddenly felt cold.
Oscar, who had just brushed past the gates of hell, didn't know that at the moment he asked Tang San for experience, Tang San almost couldn't resist using Hidden Weapons to finish him off.
It was a close call, but he managed to restrain himself in the end.
Even so, the look Tang San gave Oscar became quite cold.
Asking him for experience, and even wanting his Self-Created Spirit Abilities?
Hmph, those weren't Self-Created Spirit Abilities, but the secret techniques of the Tang Sect that were never to be shared with outsiders!
Coveting the Tang Sect's secret techniques? Oscar, you have found your path to ones own death!
If one were to ask who was the greatest beneficiary of Yu Xiaogang's research this time, it would undoubtedly be Feng Xiaotian of Godwind Academy, one of the Five Great Elemental Academies.
"Hahaha, I understand! I finally understand!"
With his Martial Soul Possession active, Feng Xiaotian continuously executed his Self-Created Spirit Ability, and with each execution, the power of the ability grew stronger.
Not far away, the teacher who had been constantly advising Feng Xiaotian not to waste his cultivation time on Self-Created Spirit Abilities saw Feng Xiaotian's state and felt a sudden burst of joy.
"Hahaha, it looks like it won't be long before Xiaotian's Self-Created Spirit Ability is completed. Then he'll be able to Cultivate in peace."
"Thank you, Dragon God His Eminence of the parallel world. Thank you for letting this child, Xiaotian, return to the right path!"
