Take the Food-type Path, Little San

"Really?" Tang San found it hard to believe.

Blue Silver Grass could awaken and evolve into a Blue Silver King simply by continuously adding Spirit Rings with life attributes?

The moment this question arose in Tang San's heart, he swiftly dismissed it.

It definitely wasn't that simple!

Thanks to Su Ming's explanations during this period, Tang San had already come to understand the power of the Blue Silver King.

The path to its awakening was bound to be difficult.

Otherwise, no one in the history of Douluo Continent would have ever been known to possess a Blue Silver King Martial Soul.

According to Su Ming, even on Sun Moon Continent, only a tiny handful of people had successfully awakened and evolved their Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls into Blue Silver Kings.

There had to be other requirements besides stacking Spirit Rings with life attributes.

So Tang San said nothing.

Instead, he looked puzzled as he waited for Su Ming to clear up his doubts.

Sure enough, Su Ming began calmly explaining the other requirements for awakening and evolving Blue Silver Grass into a Blue Silver King.

"A Spirit Master's physical fitness, the quality of their Soul Power, their level... all of these affect the awakening. You could say none of them can be left out."

At that, Su Ming paused.

"Beyond that, certain external factors can speed up the process and increase the chances of Blue Silver Grass awakening and evolving. Things like Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

Tang San listened intently, committing every useful piece of information to memory.

Once he had said enough, Su Ming steered the conversation back on track.

"Alright, back to the main point. If your Blue Silver Grass takes the Food-type path, you'll be able to develop the life attributes stacked by those Spirit Rings to their fullest extent."

To convince Tang San, Su Ming also gave him some reassurance.

"On Sun Moon Continent, there's a Food-type Super Douluo whose Martial Soul is a Blue Silver King evolved from Blue Silver Grass!"

Super Douluo! Hearing that, Tang San could not help but feel dazed. Could he really achieve something like that?

The realm of Titled Douluo on Douluo Continent was rather vague, with everyone having their own interpretation.

But on Sun Moon Continent, the realms above Douluo had long since been divided according to a simple, clear, and unified standard.

Levels 91 to 94 were Ordinary Douluo.

Levels 95 to 98 were Super Douluo.

Level 99 was known as Limit Douluo.

A Super Douluo was a goal Tang San did not even dare to dream of at this stage.

"Little San, you have Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls. In the future, your Blue Silver Grass will evolve into a Blue Silver King, while your second Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Hammer."

"Even on Sun Moon Continent, talent like yours is rare."

Seeing Tang San's lack of confidence, Su Ming encouraged him.

In the original story, after Tang San left Holy Soul Village, he had gradually learned more and more about the world of Spirit Masters.

But when Su Ming taught Tang San, he told him much information that only high-level Spirit Masters could learn.

On top of that, Su Ming himself was a monstrous genius for comparison.

It was inevitable that Tang San would sometimes feel inadequate.

Before Su Ming, he felt as though he were facing an insurmountable mountain.

This caused him to misjudge the outside world.

In the end, he had simply met too few people.

The solution was simple: let Tang San spar with more people.

That was also part of Su Ming's plan after helping Tang San obtain his first Spirit Ring.

Only through battle would Tang San understand just how exceptional his own talent was.

As for the claim that taking the Food-type path meant he could not fight others—

That only applied to ordinary Food-type Spirit Masters.

With Su Ming's training, even if Tang San took the Food-type path, he would still retain the ability to fight without using the ultimate techniques from his previous life.

"Besides, having your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul take the Food-type path gives you an advantage that no other Spirit Master possesses."

"Since you have Twin Martial Souls, you can eat Blue Silver Grass to gain buffs during battle, then summon your Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul to fight."

"Even if you switch Martial Souls, the buff effects from the food created by your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul won't disappear."

"Once you grow stronger, you'll be an Assault Type Spirit Master with buffs at all times. You'll be making the most of the advantages of Twin Martial Souls!"

To harvest the maximum amount of Willpower, Su Ming told Tang San all of this.

Clearly, the shock it brought Tang San was enormous.

For a moment, Tang San felt dizzy.

He had been completely stunned by the grand vision Su Ming had painted for him.

At that moment, he was incredibly grateful that he had listened to his big brother and chosen such a correct path.

This was practically a broad road leading straight to the heavens!

Seeing Tang San's excitement, Su Ming stopped talking and let him properly absorb everything.

This training plan had first been explained to Tang Hao.

Without question, Tang Hao had also been won over by such a training plan.

He immediately said that Little San's future path would be entrusted to Su Ming, and that he would absolutely not interfere.

"Brother Ming, which soul beast should I choose for my first Spirit Ring?"

After recovering, Tang San asked about the Spirit Ring.

He wanted to know what their target soul beast was this time.

The Willpower harvested from Tang San today had already met the target, so Su Ming did not beat around the bush.

"A hundred-year-old Ice Peppermint Grass."

"The soul beast chosen for you needs to suit your future growth. Generally, it should take into account vitality, being plant-type, and being usable as food."

"Of course, if we encounter special circumstances, then only vitality needs to remain among those conditions."

"After all, the more important matter is helping your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul successfully awaken and evolve into a Blue Silver King."

After saying that, Su Ming ignored Tang San.

He began cultivating.

After absorbing the Mirror Image Beast's Spirit Ring across ranks, coupled with his own talent, he had directly reached level 13.

He was even just one step away from level 14.

Su Ming's original plan had been to raise his Soul Power by at least four levels a year.

Six years later, when the Shrek storyline began, he needed to be at least a high-level Soul Elder.

Judging by the current situation, reaching Soul Ancestor did not seem difficult either.

Then, in the middle stages, he could eat a batch of immortal herbs. By the tournament, he would be a Soul King, and his level would be just right.

Besides, level was only level; it did not represent one's true combat strength.

This was even more apparent in Douluo II, Douluo III, and Douluo IV.

At the tournament, it would basically be a massive brawl among his genius alter egos.

That would be the perfect time to harvest Willpower!

At noon the next day, the carriage finally reached its destination.

They arrived at the outskirts of Soul Hunting Forest.

After dismissing the coachman and having him find an inn to rest at, Su Ming and Tang San prepared to enter and hunt for a Spirit Ring.

After showing the guards the Spirit Hunting Pass Tang Hao had given them, the two entered with ease.

"Brother Ming, do you know where that Ice Peppermint Grass is?"

Seeing that Su Ming had not even bought a map, Tang San was somewhat puzzled.

"Don't worry. Don't you trust me?"

Su Ming's confident tone completely dispelled Tang San's doubts, and he obediently followed behind Su Ming.
