Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 22 Self-created Soul Skills

The Spirit Hall's library covers a very large area, at least tens of thousands of square meters. As soon as he entered, Li Fei saw seven huge pillars, with the words "History", "Spirit Soul", "Spirit Beast", "Spirit Skill", "Meditation", "Spirit Guidance Device", and "Miscellaneous" written on them respectively.

"These pillars must represent the categories of the books; that's quite thoughtful!"

After thinking for a moment, Li Fei turned around and headed towards the Soul Skills section. He planned to take a look at the introductions of the Soul Skills first. After walking in, he saw rows of huge bookshelves, hundreds of meters high, arranged in an orderly manner, each bookshelf filled with densely packed books.

Li Fei casually picked up a book with the title "Complete Guide to Healing Soul Skills (Part 1)" on the cover. After flipping through it, he found that it contained a list of healing soul skills corresponding to various healing martial souls, with very detailed descriptions.

However, it was useless to him, so he put it back on the bookshelf. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the entire bookshelf contained introductions to healing-type soul skills.

"This is a self-created soul skill!"

As Li Fei continued deeper into the area, he saw introductions to various soul skills, which dazzled him and left him unsure of which to choose. Finally, he stopped in front of a relatively small bookshelf.

"The Wind Sword, this is a secret manual of the Wind Sword Sect, and the Spirit Hall even has it in their collection! ... There's also the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, a secret manual of the Clear Sky Sect, but unfortunately, it doesn't have the Ring Explosion Technique or the Great Sumeru Hammer!"

Li Fei's eyes reddened as he picked up the manuals of his self-created soul skills. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and selected three manuals from the bookshelf: "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique," "Autumn Sorrow Sword," and "Explosive Step."

"Mr. Yang, I'll just borrow these three books!"

Upon arriving at the door, Li Fei handed his three books to Old Yang and then went to the table next to him to begin registering.

"You've got some nerve, kid. Even if you create your own soul skill, you need a corresponding martial soul to use it. If you don't have the same martial soul, you need the same attribute. Look at these three you chose. Except for the 'Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique,' which doesn't require soul power, the other two don't match the attributes, so you can't cultivate them. Otherwise, these soul skills would be commonplace by now."

Old Yang glanced at the manual in his hand and said in a tone of disappointment, much like a grandfather lecturing his grandson.

"I just wanted to use that Elder Yang as a reference to see if I could create my own soul skill!"

Li Fei scratched his head and said, feigning embarrassment, that he couldn't very well tell the old man that he was absolutely confident he could successfully create his own soul skill.

"You think creating your own soul skill is easy?! You'll understand after you suffer the consequences. Next time you come to borrow books, remember to find a few good meditation methods in the meditation area. That might speed up your cultivation."

Old Yang rolled his eyes in annoyance and tossed the three books in his hand into Li Feide's arms.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Yang. If I can't succeed, I'll choose two good books on meditation!"

Li Fei said respectfully, then grabbed the book and ran outside. He didn't want to argue with the old man; it would never end.

After leaving the Spirit Hall, Li Fei ran home. When he got home, he found that his parents were not there, only Li Fan was cultivating in the yard.

"Xiao Fan, where are Dad and Mom?!"

"They're doing renovation planning at the hotel! And today, a teacher from the Martial Soul Academy came over and gave me an acceptance letter!"

Li Fan took a receipt from the table next to him and handed it to Li Fei.

"It seems the Spirit Hall wants to tie me to their chariot; they even chose to accept Xiao Fan, who possesses a sixth-level innate spirit power!"

The Martial Soul Academy is different from other academies. It does not have a distinction between low and high levels. Every year, the students who enroll are mutated martial soul geniuses discovered by the Martial Soul Hall to help commoners from all over the world awaken their martial souls. Each of them is at least a seventh-level innate soul power.

Of course, the Spirit Hall also accepts those with spirit power, but they are not taught in schools, but rather by the Spirit Hall branches in various places.

"Brother, do you think I should go to the Martial Soul Academy to study?!" Li Fan asked.

"Go, why not go! You can learn a lot of things I don't know there, and the simulated training environment will accelerate your training speed—there are so many benefits! Of course, don't forget your regular training too!"

"Okay, bro, I'll do my best!"

"You continue training, I'm going to take a shower!"

After Li Fan went to train, Li Fei went to the bathroom and started washing off the sweat. In that high-temperature environment, the sweat was quickly evaporated, leaving his body feeling sticky.

After taking a shower, Li Fei sat on the sofa in the living room and picked up the "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique" that he had obtained from the library.

As the number one forging technique in Douluo Continent, Chaotic Cloak was never a fighting technique from the beginning. It was widely spread, and it was precisely because of this that the Spirit Hall had it in their collection.

It was only later that the Clear Sky Sect discovered that its attack power was also quite good, so they adopted it as the basic fighting style of the Clear Sky Hammer. Since most blacksmiths were not Soul Masters, the "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique" relied entirely on muscle power.

This technique is not only useful for blacksmiths, but also very important for people like Li Fei who use their physical body as their martial soul. With the control of their physical body's martial soul, the power exertion technique of the Chaotic Cloak will reach an unprecedented level in his hands.

"By coordinating the muscles of the heart and both calves to unleash the full power of the body, you can instantly generate all your strength. No wonder I couldn't get it right no matter how many times I tried before!"

When watching Douluo Continent, I became very familiar with the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. Li Fei also tried to replicate it by relying on the control of his original martial soul, but he failed many times.

Now, after reading the instructions, I realize I overlooked too many details and the transmission of power between muscles, which is why it was so difficult to succeed.

"Go outside and try it out, and while you're at it, modify it and teach it to Xiao Fan!"

After putting away the manual, Li Fei straightened his clothes, went into the courtyard, took out a tungsten steel rod, and began to try it out.

"Buzz!"

Li Fei crouched slightly, his calf muscles and heart working together to unleash an explosive force. The tungsten steel rod sliced ​​through the air with a whooshing sound, stopping just in time.

With a twist of his body, he mobilized all the muscles in his body, adding the force of the blow, and swung the stick again, landing in the same spot. Li Fei swung the stick with all his might thirty-six times, until he felt an unbearable soreness in all his muscles.

"Clang!"

The tungsten iron rod fell to the ground, creating a sizable crater.

"As expected of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, it puts a lot of strain on the muscles. With consistent practice like this, my control over my muscles will become almost perfect."

Li Fei clenched his fist tightly, his whole body trembling. He found it quite enjoyable, and it made him somewhat obsessed.
