While Tang San was absorbing the Soul Ring, Mo Bai was also browsing Grandmaster's book, Ten Great Core Spirit Competencies.

After first skimming through it roughly, Mo Bai had to admit it.

Grandmaster truly was learned and knowledgeable. He understood a great deal about spirits and related knowledge.

The so-called Ten Great Core Spirit Competencies were listed in the book, and each item included a great number of examples and analyses, even experiments. It was just that they seemed to only give a general overview, without fully explaining the finer details.

As for the so-called Ten Great Core Spirit Competencies, Grandmaster had also clearly stated that these were the most core, fundamental pieces of knowledge about spirits that he had derived through collection, experimentation, or conjecture.

"Level Bottleneck and Soul Power: when soul power reaches the level of a Soul Master, even without absorbing a Soul Ring, one can continue cultivating soul power. The soul power accumulated will be reflected after absorbing a Soul Ring!"

"Spirit Mimicry Theory: plant-type spirits do not necessarily have to absorb only Soul Rings from plant soul beasts. Animal-type spirits also may not be unable to absorb Soul Rings from plant soul beasts! Absorption can be carried out based on certain similar traits between plant soul beasts and animal soul beasts!"

The two core competencies Mo Bai read out were Grandmaster's own conjectures, which Grandmaster had placed among the so-called Ten Great Core Spirit Competencies.

"No wonder people laugh at him. If you're going to summarize things, then just summarize all of it. But you even added your own conjectures into the summary and put your conjectures side by side with that knowledge as the Ten Great Core Competencies. It'd be strange if people didn't mock and ridicule you!"

"This is fishing for fame and putting gold on your own face!"

Mo Bai shook his head and started roasting him.

However, although he was roasting him, Mo Bai also had to admit that Grandmaster really was impressive. His reserves of knowledge related to spirits truly were astonishing; otherwise, he would not have been able to summarize the so-called Ten Great Core Spirit Competencies.

Then Mo Bai looked back at Grandmaster's two conjectures again. The first one seemed to have no real meaning. After all, as long as someone was a Soul Master, once they broke through the bottleneck of their Soul Master level, they would be impatient to find a Soul Ring to absorb!

"As for the second one, there's obviously something a little wrong!"

"Weapon Spirits can absorb not only Soul Rings from plant-type soul beasts, but also Soul Rings from animal-type soul beasts!"

"Why is it that when it comes to Beast Spirits and plant spirits, Beast Spirits can only absorb Soul Rings from animal-type soul beasts? And plant-type spirits also only absorb Soul Rings from plant-type soul beasts?"

"How did common sense like this come about?"

Seeing Grandmaster's second conjecture, Mo Bai became somewhat baffled.

According to Grandmaster's description, the Soul Masters of the entire Soul Land had always believed this, and it had practically already become common sense among Soul Masters.

Mo Bai did not know exactly how this kind of common sense had formed over the years, but from Mo Bai's logical perspective...

Since Weapon Spirits could absorb Soul Rings from other categories of soul beasts, then Beast Spirits and plant spirits naturally should be able to as well.

"Since this theory appeared in Grandmaster's hands, judging by Grandmaster's character setting, it should be verified later!"

"The most likely possibility is that Tang San became a guinea pig for once and helped Grandmaster verify his conjecture!"

"In that case, it seems Grandmaster is worthy of being Grandmaster. His thinking wasn't shackled by so-called common sense, and he dared to make inferences!"

"However, there must also be a reason why this kind of common sense formed!"

"Maybe it's because plant spirits are relatively weak and have greater difficulty absorbing the Soul Rings of animal spirits. There may have been many cases of people exploding and dying, and that's how this common sense formed!"

"As for what exactly it is, I'll take my time and see..."

"Tang San seemed to have asked for leave and left before. He should have gone with Grandmaster to hunt for a Soul Ring!"

"When Tang San comes back, I'll be able to confirm whether Grandmaster's conjecture is feasible!"

"If it is, then when I absorb Soul Rings in the future, I'll have more choices too!"

"Looking at it this way, Guinea Pig Tang San, I actually hope you can succeed!"

Thinking of this, Mo Bai immediately smiled.

This way, without having to take risks himself, he could pick up the results that someone else had verified with their life. Wonderful.

In the Soul Beast Forest, Tang San sat cross-legged with five hearts facing the sky. The expression on his face gradually changed from fierce at the beginning to calm.

"It's done?"

Grandmaster watched from the side, and joy immediately appeared on his face, excitement hidden in his eyes.

His theory would be proven very soon!

"Whew~"

Besides Grandmaster, behind a tree in the distance from them, another figure also quietly let out a breath of relief.

He was Tang Hao.

Ever since Tang San had come here to study, he had been secretly protecting Tang San.

When the four-hundred-year Mandala Snake had appeared earlier, he had almost been unable to hold back from making a move.

He just had not expected that Tang San would actually bring him such a surprise. He did not even know when his son had become so formidable.

That was a four-hundred-year soul beast. Even the level-29 Grandmaster was no match for it, and had told Tang San to run the moment he saw it!

And when Tang San chose to absorb that four-hundred-year Mandala Snake's Soul Ring, Tang Hao had also nearly revealed himself to stop him.

Afterward, considering that this Grandmaster truly was very capable, he decided to let Tang San try it according to Grandmaster's theory.

Of course, it was also because if anything went wrong, he believed that if he appeared, he could resolve it.

It was only a four-hundred-year Soul Ring. If it was confirmed that Tang San could not absorb it, he could forcibly interrupt it!

From the result, this was another surprise.

If his son's Blue Silver Grass spirit could also absorb Soul Rings from animal-type soul beasts, then the Blue Silver Grass spirit could also obtain better growth!

"No wonder, even though he's mocked by the world, everyone still publicly recognizes him as Grandmaster!"

Tang Hao looked at Grandmaster and acknowledged him.

Also, Grandmaster's previous action of telling Tang San to run and staying behind himself to cover the retreat when they encountered danger also allowed him to feel at ease handing Tang San over to Grandmaster for guidance.

Buzz~

And right at this moment, the fluctuating aura on Tang San's body finally converged and settled down.

The next moment, Tang San opened both eyes, obvious delight in his gaze.

"Xiao San, did it succeed?"

Perhaps because of the slight change caused by Mo Bai barging into events, Grandmaster had not been poisoned this time. After seeing Tang San wake up, he immediately asked Tang San with excitement and anticipation.

"Yes, Teacher, I succeeded!"

Tang San looked at Grandmaster and nodded with certainty.

Not only that, his Mysterious Heaven Skill had also finally broken through the first layer!

"Teacher, your theory is correct. Plant-type spirits can indeed absorb Soul Rings from animal-type soul beasts!" The happy Tang San looked at Grandmaster and spoke sincerely.

At this point, Tang San once again felt fortunate that he had taken the Grandmaster before him as his teacher.

His teacher truly had real ability and learning. He had already been very impressive before, and now even the theory he had conjectured had been verified. That made him even more extraordinary.
