Chapter 374: Is this the original soul skill created by Teacher Xu Ran? How strong!

Xu Ran's enhancement in his soul beast "Cultivation Level" had brought strange changes and tremors to Aquipeia Forest, all of which Xu Ran was completely unaware of.

Xu Ran was still immersed in the benefits that the increase in strength had brought in his Soul Beast Form.

Although the human and Soul Beast Form are separate, as the host, Xu Ran naturally couldn't be completely unaffected.

Xu Ran now felt that his strength, as well as his body, seemed to have undergone another enhancement.

This enhancement was more powerful than any that had come before.

With the Auspicious Beast Bloodline and the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, at the very moment Xu Ran's soul beast "Cultivation Level" broke through the hundred thousand year mark, both underwent a transformation. Now, Xu Ran was certainly not an ordinary person; his physical strength was so great that a single punch could potentially be unbearable even for a Titled Douluo.

"Xu Ran..." Shui Bing'er's expression was dazed, her beautiful ice-blue eyes were scattered, blankly staring at Xu Ran in front of her.

Just now, her attention had been entirely on Xu Ran, and she had witnessed the changes taking place in him with her own eyes.

In just a short period of time, Xu Ran's temperament had undergone a tremendous change, although she could not pinpoint exactly what had changed. But Xu Ran's temperament had suddenly become more attractive, like a black hole, drawing people in.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ran looked at Shui Bing'er.

"It's nothing, just that you seem a little different." Shui Bing'er's face turned red as she spoke.

"How am I different? Tell me." Xu Ran raised an eyebrow.

"You've become more handsome, and your temperament is better, you're like a fog that's hard to see through..." Shui Bing'er said earnestly, and the seriousness of her gaze made Xu Ran unable to resist pinching her porcelain-smooth and snow-white cheek.

Shui Bing'er's voice came to an abrupt halt, realizing that her words might be somewhat suggestive.

But that's just the way it was.

Xu Ran, the longer you look, the handsomer he seems, ensnaring you deeper and deeper until you can't extricate yourself.

"Thanks for the compliment, beautiful Bing'er. So this is how I appear in Bing'er's heart." Xu Ran said teasingly, standing up. Now that the Xu Sect had been established, and the Xu Clan's "Cultivation Techniques" were ready, he might as well hand them over to them.

Sometime later, he would compare notes with Tang San, who would certainly be blown away. "Damn, how has everyone learned my Tang Sect's Secret Skills, and why are they so good at it?"

Thinking about Tang San's potential expression made Xu Ran want to laugh; Xiaosan was perhaps his only source of entertainment in this world. Grandmaster was not bad either, but he wasn't as amusing as Tang San.

"Bing'er, get the team together, I have something to say."

"Oh, okay."

Shui Bing'er nodded, her demeanor instantly shifting back to a heroic and brisk one as she turned away from Xu Ran's figure, her face taking on a slightly more commanding air. As the captain of Tianshui College, over the years, she had also developed a leader's temperament.

The Tian Shui Battle Team quickly assembled, with Shui Yue'er and Xue Wu also holding hands as they hastened over; their timing was just right.

"Xu..." Shui Bing'er was startled for a moment. Seeing Xu Ran, she was momentarily unsure how to address him. Now, Xu Ran was her lover, her teacher, and also her Sect Master.

"Call me whatever you feel like." Xu Ran glanced at Shui Bing'er.

"Oh. Yes, Sect Leader." Shui Bing'er, bright as snow, knew that Xu Ran was probably going to talk about Xu Sect, so she addressed him directly as Sect Leader.

"Greetings, Sect Leader." The rest of the Tian Shui Battle Team followed suit, hailing Xu Ran in unison with delicate voices and performing the disciple's salute. Xu Sect was newly founded, and aside from Xu Ran, everyone else was a disciple. As for an Elder, that would be discussed when there were more people. Right now, they were all their own people, to be precise, there wasn't a single disciple in the true sense of the word yet.

"No need for formalities."

"From now on, you'd better just call me teacher," Xu Ran said with a smile. "By coming here, I've already snatched away the most outstanding students from Tianshui College. If you keep calling me like this, wouldn't Headmaster Shui Miao get angry?"

"Teacher Xu Ran is the strongest in the entire world. We should be happy to join the Xu Sect and grow with it. Headmaster Shui Miao should be pleased rather than having any complaints."

"Yes, yes. The headmaster won't have anything to say about it," a group of girls chimed in.

"But I still feel that calling me teacher is more intimate. At the academy, call me teacher, outside the academy call me sect leader; perhaps this would be better." Xu Ran looked at the group of vibrant young girls in front of him. Any of the people from Tianshui College, let alone members of the Tian Shui Battle Team, would be coveted if they were taken elsewhere.

Each of the seven had talent that was not weak, and they were striking in appearance. At times, even he would entertain a bold idea.

"Yes, Teacher Xu Ran. We've got it," they replied.

"Teacher Xu Ran, you asked us to gather because you have something to instruct us on, right? Is there something within the sect that you need us to do?"

"Yes. The sect is newly established, and our strength is not weak; we can help with matters," added another.

"There's no need for that. Your current mission is to properly cultivate. Now that you've joined the Xu Sect, you will also have access to the Xu Sect's secret cultivation techniques. Our Xu Sect is different from the other sects out there; we have our own unique Xu Clan's Ultimate Techniques," Xu Ran explained.

"Sect's cultivation technique?" The crowd was surprised as they looked at Xu Ran. The term "cultivation technique" was still unfamiliar to them.

"Cultivation technique means creating your own soul skill," Xu Ran said, intending to make it easier for them to understand.

"I understand now. The academy's teachers have mentioned that some peerless powerhouses, besides producing soul skills from their Soul Rings and soul bones, could also combine their own Martial Souls, essence, energy, and spirit to create powerful moves termed as self-created soul skills," one of them exposited.

"Wow, Teacher Xu Ran's own self-created soul skills—my goodness!"

"There are roughly five types of cultivation techniques in our Xu Sect: the internal strength heart method—Mysterious Heaven Method, the lightening body method—Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, the hand training method—Mysterious Jade Hands, the eye training method—Purple Demon Eyes, and the capturing method—Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon."

"Teacher Xu Ran, did you create all these five self-created soul skills yourself? My goodness, it's unbelievable that one person could create so many self-created soul skills," they marveled.

"The teacher said that being able to create one self-created soul skill already makes one an unrivaled genius. And Teacher Xu Ran has created so many," they continued.

A group of girls looked up at Xu Ran with admiration.

In their hearts, Xu Ran had already become an unparalleled existence.

Self-created soul skills were, after all, legendary.

But now, all at once, they were going to have direct access to not just one but five self-created soul skills. How could they not be thrilled?

"These are some of the self-created soul skills I've developed over the years. I have many self-created soul skills, but only these are suitable for you," Xu Ran said. By the time he had acquired these cultivation technique manuals, he had automatically learned them and had reached the acme of perfection.

For him, with his current strength, understanding the cultivation techniques of a martial world was far too easy.

After giving his instructions, Xu Ran began to demonstrate these cultivation techniques.

One could see Xu Ran's figure moving like a series of white shadows through the training room. In the blink of an eye, he moved back and forth several times before returning to his original position.

"This is the body technique—Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track."

"..."

"..."

Xu Ran demonstrated each of the cultivation techniques one by one and then handed over the manuals to Shui Bing'er, asking her to learn and teach the others in turn.
