Tang San's Shock

"Impressive!"

"That really seemed like a Soul Skill, not just random throwing!"

"Mo Bai is amazing! He actually created a Soul Skill of his own!"

"Yeah, I heard his First Soul Skill was useless, with about as much damage as a scratch!"

"I never expected the Soul Skill he created himself to look pretty good!"

"..."

The students around them cried out in astonishment at Mo Bai's performance.

"So impressive! If his Soul Skill wasn't good enough, he just created his own!"

"Mo Bai's First Soul Skill is a group attack, so its Soul Power gets dispersed and its damage is limited. Now that he's directly plucking Blue Silver Grass leaves, the damage is actually sufficient!"

Surrounded by the crowd and occupying the best viewing spot, Xiao Wu cheered as well.

She had seen Mo Bai's First Soul Skill before!

"Yeah, it's very impressive!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Tang San echoed her.

To be honest, Tang San was far more shocked inside than he let on.

Mo Bai's idea of using Blue Silver Grass as hidden weapons gave him quite a jolt.

He had never imagined that Blue Silver Grass could be used as hidden weapons.

If Mo Bai could do it, then surely he could too. Had he chosen the wrong path for its development?

For a moment, Tang San began to doubt himself.

But very quickly, Tang San decided that his choice had not been wrong.

Because he believed that hidden weapons forged from refined iron or other materials were stronger, while Blue Silver Grass could only serve as rather ordinary hidden weapons.

The hidden weapons he forged, however, were different. They could incorporate all kinds of mechanisms and techniques, making them far more lethal!

In short, Tang San preferred Mechanism Hidden Weapons.

And using Blue Silver Grass as a hidden weapon could never bring out the effects of Mechanism Hidden Weapons!

Besides, even without using Blue Silver Grass as hidden weapons, he still had hidden weapons. If he developed Blue Silver Grass into hidden weapons instead, wouldn't he lose its control capabilities?

Thus, Tang San did not think his Blue Silver Grass development path was wrong simply because he had seen Mo Bai use it as hidden weapons.

Then, Tang San was shocked that Mo Bai had actually created a technique similar to hidden weapon techniques.

He could tell that although Mo Bai's technique was still quite crude, it was already far superior to the throwing skills of ordinary people.

He was a natural hidden weapon genius!

After realizing this, Tang San could not help but feel an urge to recruit Mo Bai into the Tang Sect and teach him true Hidden Weapon Techniques.

With a hidden weapon genius like Mo Bai, he would surely be able to help expand the Tang Sect in this foreign world even better.

But as soon as that thought arose, the image of Mo Bai leaving with Xiao Wu last time surfaced in Tang San's mind.

He also recalled how, over the past year or so, Xiao Wu had clearly been much closer to Mo Bai than to him.

The moment those memories surfaced, Tang San instinctively resisted recruiting Mo Bai.

Then he remembered that Mo Bai was clearly a Twin Spirits wielder, yet had concealed it.

Such a person simply did not trust others.

That was right. Someone like that was not suited to joining his Tang Sect!

Thinking this, Tang San finally relaxed. He was no longer excited—Mo Bai was not suited for his Tang Sect.

"So Mo Bai had been hiding this trick!"

"By plucking off Blue Silver Grass leaves and using them directly, the Soul Power won't be dispersed. While they still can't compare to ordinary swords or blades, combined with Mo Bai's technique, they do indeed possess a certain degree of combat strength!"

The Dean was also greatly surprised by Mo Bai's performance.

But more than surprise, he felt delight.

He had originally thought Mo Bai's choice of First Soul Ring had been a failure, but now it seemed that it had not been wasted at all!

"Grandmaster, it seems that besides the control and healing paths, Blue Silver Grass can also follow the path of a Battle Soul Master!"

Then, the Dean could not help turning to Grandmaster with a smile.

After all, it was rare to catch Grandmaster making a wrong judgment!

"Cough, cough..."

Grandmaster's face was slightly red as he stood to the side.

He was indeed somewhat embarrassed.

The facts were right before him. He could not possibly claim that Mo Bai was not now a qualified Battle Soul Master.

"That really wasn't something I expected, but..."

The Grandmaster first admitted his mistake, but he still added, "But I still don't think Blue Silver Grass is suited for the Battle Soul Master path. Blue Silver Grass is not a weapon-type Weapon Spirit after all. If you force it to be used as a weapon, its strength definitely won't compare to that of Battle Soul Masters with weapon-type spirits of the same level!"

"You can see it from how all of Mo Bai's attacks were easily blocked by Teacher Mo Na's Short Knife Spirit!"

"The reason Teacher Mo Na ended up in such a sorry state was because it was his first time encountering Mo Bai's style of attack. If he faced a soul master who had adapted to Mo Bai's attack style, the result would be different!"

"Or if Teacher Mo Na had charged straight in from the start, even at the cost of taking injuries, he could have defeated Mo Bai very quickly. Mo Bai's Blue Silver Grass leaves have limited killing power!"

In short, the Grandmaster still did not think highly of Blue Silver Grass taking the power-attack route.

"What you said... makes sense!"

"But I've already said it, and judging by things, it's only a matter of time before Teacher Mo Na loses. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to speak up now and ask Mo Bai to change his mind!"

"How about it, Grandmaster? Could you help me persuade him?"

Upon hearing the Grandmaster's words, the Dean's previously smug expression instantly fell, because he felt that the Grandmaster was right.

"Me?"

At the Dean's request, hesitation immediately appeared on the Grandmaster's face. He did not want to instruct Mo Bai. It was fine for him to analyze the matter for the Dean, but he was unwilling to give Mo Bai advice face-to-face.

After all, Mo Bai had refused to take him as his master!

That was right. In the Grandmaster's view, Mo Bai had used the excuse of concealing his Twin Spirits to refuse becoming his disciple back then!

Still, he could not easily refuse the Dean's request.

"...Then I'll give it a try. I can't guarantee it'll work!"

In the end, the Grandmaster sighed, feeling that he should not reject the Dean outright.

Pfft~

Meanwhile, in the arena, Teacher Mo Na, unable to adapt to Mo Bai's attack style and desperate to get close to him, finally let his guard down for a moment and was struck by one of Mo Bai's leaves—on his right leg.

With his leg injured, Teacher Mo Na found it even harder to evade Mo Bai's attacks in the ensuing battle.

"Stop... I surrender!"

Very quickly, realizing that he could not get close to Mo Bai, Teacher Mo Na chose to surrender in frustration.

He truly felt that his loss was unbearably stifling. He had strength to spare, yet nowhere to use it.

He felt that he should have charged through Mo Bai's attacks from the very beginning. Even if he had been injured, he could have defeated Mo Bai.

But later on, he no longer had enough Soul Power to charge in recklessly, so he could only surrender in frustration.

"Whoa~"

"He won! Mo Bai actually defeated Teacher Mo Na!"

"That's amazing!"

"Mo Bai, you're so cool!"

"Mo Bai, I like you!"

"Mo Bai, I want to be your girlfriend!"

"..."
