Chapter 42: Teaching Soul Skills

"Next, Mo Hui will serve as your Soul Skill mentor, teaching you his self-created soul skills!"

As soon as Feng Qingcang said this, the pupils of everyone present constricted, and a tempestuous storm stirred within their hearts.

"What? This person is actually going to teach us his own self-created soul skills?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could anyone be willing to share their own self-created soul skills with others?"

"This... this isn't right, is it? Can self-created soul skills be taught so easily? And even if he teaches them, will we be able to learn them?"

Everyone’s first reaction was one of disbelief. That someone would be willing to pass on their own self-created soul skills was unheard of. Furthermore, judging by Feng Qingcang’s words, it seemed that they might, just possibly, have a chance to master them.

Feng Xiaotian and several other top-tier students looked at Mo Hui with particularly complex expressions. They had originally viewed him as a rival, but they never expected Mo Hui to have already transcended that level to become their teacher.

"Quiet! Quiet!"

As Feng Qingcang called for order, a massive wave of soul power pressure descended upon the crowd, instantly silencing them.

Seeing that everyone had shut their mouths, Feng Qingcang nodded with satisfaction, cleared his throat, and said, "I know you don't believe it, but this is the truth! You have likely heard of the two self-created soul skills Mo Hui invented: the Multi-Combined Air Blade and the Cutting Wind Wheel. Yes, they can be taught, and all of you have the potential to learn them!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone present burned with fervor. These were self-created soul skills—could it be that they, too, would possess such things?

Only Feng Xiaotian had a complex expression. He was the only one present who already possessed a self-created soul skill. Now that he had to learn someone else’s—and from a rival who had previously defeated him—his heart was filled with a mixture of emotions.

Seeing the scene below, Feng Qingcang smiled slightly and said, "It is the good fortune of our Kamikaze Academy that Mo Hui is willing to personally teach these two self-created soul skills. You must seize this opportunity and study hard, do you understand?"

"Understood!" the crowd replied excitedly.

Seeing this, Feng Qingcang nodded in gratification. "Very good. Some of you are elites among our teachers, and some are the top talents of the Kamikaze Academy today! I have high expectations for you, and I hope you will not disappoint me."

"Additionally..." Feng Qingcang’s tone suddenly shifted, his face turning cold as he said, "The Multi-Combined Air Blade and the Cutting Wind Wheel are of great significance and are confidential to the academy. Before they are made public, if I find out that anyone has leaked this matter, do not blame me for being heartless."

Hearing the chilling menace in Feng Qingcang’s tone, everyone present felt a tremor in their hearts. Certain ideas some had harbored were instantly dismissed.

After all, the authority Feng Qingcang had commanded over the years was immense. To stand against a powerhouse who was almost certain to become a Soul Douluo was practically suicide; few forces could protect you.

One must realize that above a Soul Douluo lies the Titled Douluo, but the Titled Douluos in this world could be counted on two hands. The Spirit Hall had the most, the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had two each, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had one, and there was the Poison Douluo. Aside from these, there were no other known Titled Douluos.

Even the strongest combat power of the four lower sects was merely at the Soul Douluo level. As long as no Titled Douluo appeared, a Soul Douluo was the strongest existence.

Seeing that those below were intimidated, Feng Qingcang turned to Mo Hui and said, "Mo Hui, I will leave the rest of the time to you. You must make sure to teach them well."

Hearing this, Mo Hui’s mouth twitched. "The Multi-Combined Air Blade is definitely learnable. As for the Cutting Wind Wheel, I will do my best."

This old guy—he had originally thought there would be at most a dozen people, but he hadn't expected him to round up over twenty, including students like Feng Xiaotian.

But resignation aside, for the sake of that one thousand gold soul coins, Mo Hui had to teach.

"Alright, teachers and students, let us begin today’s lesson. The first self-created soul skill I will teach is the Multi-Combined Air Blade. The basic requirement for this skill is that you must possess a wind blade or a similar wind-attribute technique..."

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed. Amidst the rapt attention of everyone present, Mo Hui’s first lesson drew to a close.

"Very well, our lesson ends here for today. The next session will be on the afternoon seven days from now. I hope that by then, you will have fully mastered the Multi-Combined Air Blade."

Seeing that the time was up, Mo Hui concluded the lecture and turned to leave.

The effect of this lesson was quite good. Most had roughly grasped the techniques for using the Multi-Combined Air Blade and only needed practice to delve deeper.

As for the Cutting Wind Wheel, Mo Hui did not teach it. The class was only four hours long; it was already quite an achievement for them to have grasped the basics of the Multi-Combined Air Blade in such a short time. One could not ask for too much.

After all, for soul masters in this world, once separated from their soul ring skills, their control over their own soul power was pitifully low. A technique like the Cutting Wind Wheel could never be mastered without long periods of practice.

What surprised Mo Hui slightly was that among these twenty-plus people, the one with the deepest control over wind-attribute soul power was not one of the Soul King or Soul Emperor-level teachers, but Feng Xiaotian, who was only level forty-one.

"Wait!"

After Mo Hui left the backyard training ground of the Kamikaze Academy, a voice came from behind him, causing him to stop.

Mo Hui turned around and saw that it was Feng Xiaotian, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

"Feng Xiaotian, is there something you need? If it is about the self-created soul skills, you will have to wait until I have time. I am going to the Hurricane Canyon to cultivate now."

"Why are you willing to teach me your self-created soul skills? Aren't you afraid that once I master them, I will surpass you?"

After Feng Xiaotian reached Mo Hui, he asked the question that had been bothering him.

Hearing this, Mo Hui smiled slightly. "I have an agreement with the Dean to teach the people in the school these self-created soul skills, and you happened to be among them. That is all."

"But these are self-created soul skills! They are the foundation of your standing. If everyone else learns them, won't you lose your advantage?"

Feng Xiaotian was deeply perplexed. He had personally experienced the power of these two skills. Though he hated to admit it, whether it was the Multi-Combined Air Blade or the Cutting Wind Wheel, their power and range of application far exceeded his own "Eighteen Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Wolf."

With these two skills in his arsenal, Mo Hui could easily crush his peers and perhaps even use them as capital to dominate the soul master world in the future. Yet, Mo Hui had handed them over so easily.

Feng Xiaotian naturally knew that Mo Hui had made a deal with the Dean, but if he were put in the same position, he would absolutely never have agreed.

However, Mo Hui shook his head and said, "To me, self-created soul skills are nothing. If you want to learn, I will teach."

"As for whether someone else will use these skills to surpass me..."

As he spoke, Mo Hui suddenly smiled with confidence. He turned his back to Feng Xiaotian and said, "Enemies defeated by my hand are never regarded as rivals. I will give you time to catch up, until you can no longer even see my back."
