Seeing that her plan had been exposed, Xu Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue sheepishly.
She had just thrown herself into Su Mo's arms on a whim.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have left such an obvious flaw.
"But Su Mo smells so good!"
Just thinking about the comforting scent she smelled while nestled in Su Mo's arms made Xu Xiaoyan's mouth water uncontrollably.
Su Mo ignored Xu Xiaoyan's infatuation and turned to Mu Xi, saying irritably, "Senior, could you please be a little quieter next time? I heard everything!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xi forced a sheepish smile, feeling guilty and unable to meet Su Mo's gaze.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Su Mo cleared his throat and said slowly, "Alright, let's move on to the formal lesson."
"Today I'm going to teach you a self-created soul technique called 'Rasengan'."
Su Mo slowly opened his right hand, and a continuous stream of soul power began to gather in his palm.
Under Su Mo's meticulous and precise control, these soul energies began to compress and rotate continuously until they condensed into a semi-transparent sphere.
Su Mo was able to use soul power to create the Rasengan because soul power and chakra come from two completely different worlds.
But they all have one thing in common—they flow within the body and can be released externally.
And this is precisely the only condition for learning the Rasengan.
Unlike other ninjutsu, the Rasengan's attack principle is based on pure physical structure.
Any attack method that concentrates power in the palm and keeps it in a stable and high-speed rotating state can be called "Rasengan".
Upon seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi were immediately drawn to the Rasengan lying quietly in Su Mo's palm.
They were surprised that Su Mo, at such a young age, had already mastered a self-created soul skill.
"Junior, is this soul skill very powerful?"
Mu Xi's eyes sparkled with curiosity, and before she could finish speaking, her little hand couldn't help but reach for the Rasengan in Su Mo's palm.
"Snapped!"
Without thinking, Su Mo slapped away Mu Xi's outstretched hand and glared at her fiercely.
"You're really a tiger, daring to touch the Rasengan with your bare hand. Aren't you afraid of crippling your hand?"
Mu Xi, who had been reprimanded by Su Mo, chuckled awkwardly and remained silent.
She had just seen the Rasengan lying quietly in Su Mo's hand without any problems, so she wanted to try it out herself.
Chapter 77 Practice
Without offering much explanation, Su Mo took out a ten-centimeter-thick tungsten steel cube from his storage ring in front of Mu Xi and Xu Xiaoyan.
Under the watchful eyes of Mu Xi and Xu Xiaoyan, the tungsten steel cube and the Rasengan made intimate contact.
With a low hum and a burst of intense light, the Rasengan failed to penetrate the tungsten steel cube, but it did leave a clearly visible dent on it.
"hiss!"
Looking at the clearly visible dents on the tungsten steel cube, Mu Xi subconsciously gasped.
Suppressing his shock, he swallowed hard and asked incredulously, "Su Mo, are you really going to teach us this?"
"Of course!"
Su Mo nodded.
"But this is way too expensive..."
Mu Xi instinctively wanted to refuse, as Su Mo's self-created soul skill was far too precious.
As a blacksmith, Mu Xi knew better than anyone just how hard tungsten steel was.
Let alone Su Mo, a Soul Master, even ordinary Soul Kings and Soul Emperors would find it difficult to leave a mark on it, but now Su Mo's self-created Soul Skill has done it.
Although the dents on it weren't very deep, the problem was that Su Mo was only a three-ring Soul Master at the moment.
Mu Xi didn't even dare to imagine how terrifying the power of the Rasengan would be once Su Mo's cultivation level was up.
Xu Xiaoyan, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.
Although she wasn't entirely sure about the hardness of tungsten steel, seeing the undisguised shock on Mu Xi's face gave her a general idea of how terrifying the Rasengan was.
"There's no reason not to, we're all friends!"
"Besides, the three of us are going to participate in the three-person team competition together. If the two of you are too weak, I will lose face."
Su Mo patted Mu Xi on the shoulder and joked in a lighthearted tone.
"Ok!"
Seeing that Su Mo was determined, Mu Xi stopped making excuses. She raised her right hand, looked at Su Mo with a serious expression, and said, "By the God of the Sea, I, Mu Xi, will never teach the Rasengan to anyone without Su Mo's consent."
"If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
To swear an oath to a real god in a transcendent world speaks volumes about Mu Xi's attitude.
However, the person to whom he was swearing was a bit difficult for Su Mo to handle.
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan quickly followed suit and made the same vow.
"Everyone's taken their oaths, now let's officially begin class!"
"The most important thing to learn the Rasengan is the control of your soul power."
"So before we start the class, I need to see how well you control your own soul power."
"You two try to gather your soul power into your palms!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi stretched out their palms and began to try to gather their soul power into their palms as Su Mo instructed.
"..."
Looking at the results of their attempts, Su Mo felt a bit of a headache.
Of the two, Xu Xiaoyan's situation is slightly better.
Although the amount of soul power gathered in the palm was small and did not last long before dissipating, it was at least a success.
On Mu Xi's side, her fair palms were completely empty; her soul power dissipated into the air as soon as it was released, which was simply unbearable to look at.
Su Mo had serious doubts about whether Mu Xi had actually attended classes seriously during her years at Donghai Academy.
Although the faculty at Tunghai College isn't the best, they offer all the required courses.
Especially courses like soul power control, which are already commonplace, are taught starting from the beginner level.
Seemingly sensing Su Mo's questioning gaze, Mu Xi lowered her head in embarrassment.
Seeing Mu Xi like this, Su Mo didn't know what else to say. He patted Mu Xi's shoulder to comfort her, "It's okay! I'll teach you slowly."
"No one is born knowing how to control their soul power. As long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing you cannot learn."
……
"First, you need to clear your mind, think of your body as a river, imagine your soul power as the flow of water, and carefully feel the direction and speed of the soul power flowing in every part of your body."
"Then use your mental energy to slowly guide the soul power within your body to the palm of your hand. Don't rush!"
On the makeshift stage, Su Mo patiently taught Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi how to control their soul power more precisely.
Listening to Su Mo's instructions, Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi closed their eyes and tried it out.
"The body is the riverbed, and the soul power is the flow of water. Use your spiritual power to guide it, to guide it!"
Mu Xi kept her eyes tightly closed, silently repeating the mantra in her mind.
Gradually, Mu Xi seemed to see the soul power within her body transform into streams of clear water, slowly flowing through her meridians.
Mu Xi held her breath and carefully used her mental power to touch and guide the water, trying to gather it in her palm.
Just as her soul power was about to be guided into her palm, it suddenly went out of control, causing her to fail at the last minute.
Compared to Mu Xi's slow progress, Xu Xiaoyan's progress has been much smoother.
Xu Xiaoyan is naturally thoughtful and has a stronger ability to control her soul power than her peers.
With Su Mo's guidance, Xu Xiaoyan quickly grasped the rhythm of soul power flow.
Xu Xiaoyan's breathing was long and steady, her fair hands were outstretched in front of her, and a faint halo of light slowly appeared in the palms.
With continued guidance of her mental energy, the halo on Xu Xiaoyan's palm gradually solidified.
Although it's still a long way from condensing into a Rasengan, it's a huge improvement compared to before.
"Success!"
Feeling the powerful aura of soul energy emanating from her palm, Xu Xiaoyan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but open her eyes, her large, watery eyes sparkling with unprecedented excitement.
"Very good, try it a few more times and let your body get used to this guidance!"
Faced with Xu Xiaoyan's success, Su Mo praised her without reservation.
"Hehe~"
Faced with Su Mo's praise, Xu Xiaoyan smiled like a kitten that had stolen a fish, squinted her eyes, playfully stuck out her tongue, and her face was overflowing with pride and smugness.
On the other side, no matter how hard Mu Xi tried, she was unable to successfully guide her soul power into her palm.
After finally managing to gather a little bit of power, the soul power scattered in all directions like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins in the next second.
Sometimes her soul power would surge erratically through her meridians, leaving her bewildered and causing a fine layer of cold sweat to appear on her forehead.
"Damn it...why can't we get together!"
Hearing Su Mo's praise of Xu Xiaoyan, Mu Xi secretly became anxious.
Seeing Mu Xi becoming agitated, Su Mo gently shook his head and said in a gentle tone, "Don't rush. The worst thing about controlling soul power is being agitated."
"Slow down and don't let other people disrupt your rhythm."
"When soul power is disobedient, do not forcibly suppress it, but guide it slowly like coaxing a child."
Hearing Su Mo's voice, so beautiful it seemed to make one pregnant, Mu Xi, who had been anxious because Xu Xiaoyan had taken the lead, gradually calmed down as if a feather had gently brushed against her heart.
Mu Xi took a deep breath, trying to put aside the comparisons and resentment in her heart, and focused her attention back on the soul power flowing slowly within her body.
