The Possibility of Blue Silver Grass Becoming a Food System Spirit

By the time Xiao Lin found Tang San to show off, Tang San had already finished forging a batch of iron.

Tang San used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer to gradually hammer the impurities out of a red-hot iron block. Xiao Lin never got tired of watching it.

It truly deserved to be called an incredibly powerful Self-Created Soul Skill.

On Douluo Continent, creating a powerful Soul Skill was extremely difficult.

Xiao Lin meant the kind of Self-Created Soul Skill that any Soul Master could practice, not a Soul Skill created based on the unique traits of one's Spirit.

Not something like the Blue Silver Entanglement Tang San could casually cast now, but Self-Created Soul Skills like the Rasengan or Laser.

For example, Xiao Lin had once wanted to use his External Soul Bone to fire a Laser. After ultimately giving up because his Soul Power was insufficient, he had gone to ask Tang San about it.

Was it possible for a Soul Master to create a Soul Skill like a hand-fired Laser?

Tang San's answer was that ordinary Soul Masters could never accomplish such a Soul Skill.

Even if they knew the method of cultivation.

Xiao Lin had been curious at the time, and when he asked why, Tang San gave him this reason.

The people of this world understood and utilized the Meridians far too little.

To fire a Laser by hand, Soul Power had to be compressed and released through the fingers.

That required a Soul Master to possess extremely strong control, Mental Power, and a deep understanding of the Meridians in their fingers.

Finally, the Soul Master would need to perfectly develop the Meridians in their fingers so they could withstand the compressed Soul Power.

Only then did Xiao Lin suddenly realize that his accidental attempt to fire a Laser through his External Soul Bone had actually been the most correct choice.

Because the External Soul Bone had no Meridian restrictions, Xiao Lin only needed to compress his Soul Power and channel it over.

Although it had ultimately failed because Xiao Lin lacked sufficient Soul Power, his move could not be considered a complete failure.

Once the problem of Soul Power was solved, there was a high chance it could be completed.

Speaking of Self-Created Soul Skills, Xiao Lin had more or less given up on them and shifted his time toward training his physical and mental abilities.

Because creating Soul Skills was too difficult, Xiao Lin could not spend a great deal of time on it during the period when cultivation was easiest and most effective for him.

Most of the time, Xiao Lin would tell Tang San his theories and ideas, then have Tang San, this martial arts genius, help bring them to fruition.

Then Tang San would teach Xiao Lin step by step.

That way, Xiao Lin could not only have more time to cultivate, but also help support-type Tang San gain some offensive means to the greatest extent possible.

This was also what Tang San himself wanted, because his Clear Sky Hammer could not be exposed unless absolutely necessary.

The methods of Hidden Weapons were also unsuitable for sparring; they were far too dangerous.

Xiao Lin had also given Tang San better, more perfect choices and configurations for his soul rings. The two of them could be said to be cooperating for mutual benefit.

When Tang San saw Xiao Lin come looking for him at the Blacksmith Shop, he realized he could no longer put it off. With an awkward smile, he casually asked, "Brother Lin, what did you come to see me for?"

Tang San did not want to expose his Sleeve Arrow and looked extremely guilty. He had only wanted to win once.

"Hehe, Little San, let me tell you, my Thesis sold like crazy."

Xiao Lin directly shoved his Spirit News in front of Tang San, his nose practically pointed at the sky.

"This..."

Tang San looked at the contents of the Spirit News in his hand, then at Xiao Lin's smug expression. How could he fail to understand what Xiao Lin meant?

"Brother Lin, you've got me there."

Hearing Tang San admit it, Xiao Lin felt as refreshed as if he had eaten a popsicle in the sweltering heat of midsummer.

"Little San, it really isn't easy getting your approval."

Xiao Lin said with a grin.

How should one put it? Tang San was extremely unwilling to admit defeat and possessed incredible tenacity.

Even after being defeated by Xiao Lin, he was unwilling to admit that he had lost. He was stubborn to the bone.

But when it came to Spirit theory, Tang San had no such reluctance to concede. He readily admitted that Xiao Lin was impressive.

Sometimes, that left Xiao Lin with little sense of satisfaction from being acknowledged.

"Forget it. I got my fill this time anyway, so I'm not planning to spar with you."

Xiao Lin spoke to himself, as though he had only come to chat with Tang San.

As they sat off to the side to rest, Xiao Lin began today's topic.

"A few days ago, I studied Grandfather's Spirit, and now I've come up with a new theory."

As Xiao Lin spoke, Tang San braced himself on the ground with both hands, staring without blinking and listening intently.

"This theory is about the possibility of turning Blue Silver Grass into a Food System Spirit, allowing your support-type abilities, Little San, to reach their peak."

As soon as Xiao Lin finished speaking, Tang San's face filled with shock, and he blurted out, "A Food System Spirit? Is that possible?"

Tang San's face was full of curiosity. After Xiao Lin's crash course in common knowledge, Tang San was no longer a complete novice when it came to spirit martial souls.

He had once heard Xiao Lin say that Food System Spirits could be considered the strongest Support System Spirits.

As for why, it was because Food System Spirits could be stored and then eaten later.

In other words, a single Food Spirit's Soul Skill might not be as powerful as that of a top-tier Support System Spirit, but what if a large number of Food Spirits were stored up?

Combined with a Food Soul Master producing more on the spot, Tang San simply could not imagine how powerful his Blue Silver Grass would become.

Moreover, if a Food System Spirit possessed an especially good Soul Skill, it might even help a Soul Master cultivate faster.

The more one ate, the stronger one became—growing stronger with ease.

"Yes, if my guess is correct, that is entirely possible."

"Of course, we first need to make sure the Blue Silver Grass's vitality continues to be maintained."

Xiao Lin did not want Tang San to switch entirely to becoming a Food Soul Master.

Continuing to increase the Blue Silver Grass's vitality and evolve it into a Blue Silver Emperor had long been Xiao Lin's strategic goal.

Now, he merely intended to alter part of the tactical plan.

"If the Blue Silver Grass continues absorbing soul rings that increase its vitality, then even if it gains the abilities of a Food System Spirit, its Soul Skills would still be things like increasing its teammates' healing abilities."

Upon hearing that, Tang San immediately blurted out.

Tang San was now capable of drawing inferences from one example. Xiao Lin's nurturing had not gone to waste.

"Exactly. That's what I was thinking. Perhaps because your Blue Silver Grass has such powerful vitality, Little San, it might even gain a Food System Soul Skill that boosts all of a Soul Master's attributes."

Xiao Lin nodded in approval.

For Support System Soul Masters, support Soul Skills were generally weakest when used on themselves. But what would happen when they were used on Power Attack System Soul Masters who excelled in combat?

The strong would become even stronger.

That was true for Xiao Lin, and it would be true for Tang San once he began using the Clear Sky Hammer in the future.

If things truly went as Xiao Lin described, Tang San could already imagine the power of wielding the Clear Sky Hammer himself.

"Alright. I'm willing to try walking the path of a Food Soul Master."

At this moment, Tang San trusted Xiao Lin without reservation. He believed Xiao Lin would not put forward a guess that had no possibility of succeeding.

"Good. Then I'll explain my hypothesis."

Having earned such trust from his good brother, Xiao Lin's blood began to boil as well.

"First, Blue Silver Grass can be eaten, so it meets the basic requirements of a Food System Spirit."

Mm, Xiao Lin was right.

Ever since he was little, Tang San had seen plenty of uncles in Holy Soul Village cut Blue Silver Grass to feed their pigs.

"Second..."
