Chapter 57: Ideas for Developing the Rasengan
If Ye Lingling could learn Rasengan, she would at least have some combat strength of her own, which would make protecting herself much easier.
The more Yu Tianlin thought about it, the more excited he became.
I really am a genius. I can even come up with something like this.
Just then, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Yu Tianlin suddenly came back to his senses.
Wait, Sister Lingling is already done showering? I was so focused on creating a self created Spirit Skill that I did not even notice the shower sounds. I took a loss this time.
With a soft click, the bathroom door opened and Ye Lingling walked out.
Her long blue hair was wrapped in a towel, and the steam had turned her usually pale cheeks a faint rosy pink. She looked like a lotus blooming out of clear water, and Yu Tianlin's eyes brightened unconsciously.
Even more striking was her outfit. She had changed into the newly bought silver white lace dress, and her entire aura was completely different from when she had been wrapped in black clothes and a veil.
"How is it?"
Ye Lingling spun lightly in front of Yu Tianlin, her expression a little uneasy. Clearly, she was still not used to wearing anything other than black.
Yu Tianlin smiled and praised her outright, "The dress looks great, but Sister Lingling is even more beautiful."
"Glib tongued."
Ye Lingling rolled her eyes at him, but the tension in her shoulders visibly eased. She had really been worried that she would look strange in white.
After she sat down on the sofa next to him, Yu Tianlin could not wait any longer.
"Sister Lingling, I was thinking just now. If you also had some combat power, you would be able to protect yourself much better."
"Give me the ability to fight?" Ye Lingling looked at him in surprise, then slowly shook her head. "Impossible. That is just how support type Spirit Masters are. I have never heard of a support type Spirit Master who had real combat strength."
"I know. That is because the Martial Soul of support type Spirit Masters have no offensive power, and their Spirit Skills are not offensive either," Yu Tianlin said. He already had a rough plan in mind, so he explained calmly, "But that does not mean support type Spirit Masters truly cannot fight at all."
"You are talking about Spirit Power?"
Ye Lingling was very smart. She understood what he meant immediately, but still shook her head. "What is the use of pure Spirit Power? External Spirit Power attacks alone are too inefficient. Even if a support type Spirit Master reached Titled Douluo level, if they could only attack externally with Spirit Power, they still would not be a match for a Spirit King."
Indeed. In the City of Slaughter, all Spirit Masters had their Spirit Skills sealed, but they could still use their Martial Soul and Spirit Power. Even so, Spirit Douluo above rank eighty were killed by Tang San and Hu Liena, who were only around rank fifty.
A Spirit Master's complete combat strength came from their Martial Soul, Spirit Skills, and Spirit Power. In the City of Slaughter, once Spirit Skills were removed, overall strength fell sharply.
For support type Spirit Masters, it was even worse. Their Spirit Rings and Spirit Skills were not suited for offense to begin with, and their Martial Soul had no offensive edge either. That left them with only crude external attacks using Spirit Power, putting them at an even greater disadvantage than those whose Spirit Skills had simply been sealed.
Here, it was necessary to clarify something about support type Spirit Masters.
The so called lack of combat power for support type Spirit Masters was only relative to Spirit Masters of the same level from other paths. It did not mean that support type Spirit Masters literally had no ability to fight.
If a support type Spirit Master's Spirit Power cultivation was dozens of ranks higher than their opponent, they could still crush them through sheer Spirit Power. Absorbing Spirit Rings also improved physical attributes. If a support type Spirit Master's rank and number of Spirit Rings far exceeded their opponent's, they could suppress them physically as well.
In short, support type Spirit Masters were not truly powerless. They only appeared weak when facing other types at the same level. Once their level surpassed others by a large margin, they still had the strength to fight back.
Alright, enough of that. Back to the main topic.
Hearing Ye Lingling's words, Yu Tianlin smiled. "You are right. Using Spirit Power to attack directly doesn't do much damage. But if you circulate your Spirit Power using a special method, that is a different story."
"Sister Lingling, look."
He stretched out his right hand, and in front of Ye Lingling, he activated Thousand Birds.
The sound of countless birds chirping suddenly filled the room as blue white lightning blossomed in Yu Tianlin's palm.
"This is a self created Spirit Skill I developed over the past month," Yu Tianlin explained. "It is called Thousand Birds. When I use it, my attack power increases by one hundred percent and my speed increases by fifty percent. Its power is comparable to a thousand year Spirit Skill. What do you think, Sister Lingling?"
"You are amazing, Tianlin, to create your own Spirit Skill," Ye Lingling said sincerely, admiration in her eyes. But she quickly shook her head helplessly. "However, this skill is clearly only suitable for lightning attribute Spirit Masters. I am afraid I cannot learn it."
"All the self created Spirit Skills on the continent are developed based on one's own Martial Spirit. I probably cannot learn self created Spirit Skills created by others. And if I develop one myself with the Nine Heart Begonia as the core, I doubt it would have much offensive power."
She was right. Skills like Feng Xiaotian's Gale Demon Wolf Thirty Six Consecutive Slashes, Xie Yue's Full Moon, or the Clear Sky Sect's Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique all relied on their specific Martial Souls.
This was the norm in Douluo Continent. No matter how a Spirit Master developed a self created Spirit Skill, it was always centered around their own Martial Soul.
Universal techniques like Tang San's Tang Sect arts, which any Spirit Master could learn as self created Spirit Skills, simply did not exist before he appeared.
But when it came to truly universal skills, what could compare to Rasengan?
Rasengan was a technique that any Spirit Master with Spirit Power could learn. It would be difficult, yes, but not impossible.
After mastering Rasengan, if your Spirit Power had no attribute, you could still develop it into Giant Rasengan or even Super Giant Rasengan as your rank increased. If your Spirit Power had an attribute, even better. No matter what the attribute was, you could infuse it into Rasengan, evolving it into Rasenshuriken.
It was a true protagonist skill, the crown prince's signature, a technique with endless possibilities.
Thinking this far, Yu Tianlin said to Ye Lingling, "You are right, Sister Lingling. You cannot learn Thousand Birds. I am only showing it to you so you know I really do have the ability to create self created Spirit Skills."
"Now, I have a new idea for a self created Spirit Skill. This one will have no requirements on Martial Soul or Spirit Power attribute. Any Spirit Master can learn it, and its power will not be weaker than Thousand Birds."
"Is there really such a Spirit Skill?"
Ye Lingling's interest was instantly piqued.
