Tang San's Main Study is Life, Tang Hao's Hope

Seeing Tang Hao clutching his head, looking pained, regretful, and guilty, Xiao Lin did not stop his speculation. After a brief pause, he continued.

"Actually, Blue Silver Grass may have another ability: camouflage."

"According to the records I saw at Spirit Hall, almost no one has ever absorbed Blue Silver Grass as a soul ring."

"With the sheer number of Blue Silver Grass plants, that should be impossible. No matter what, there should be hundred-year and thousand-year Blue Silver Grass."

"So I speculate that Blue Silver Grass's inconspicuousness is its camouflage ability."

"This camouflage ability may not seem very useful, but once Little San reaches the Titled Douluo level, I think even other Titled Douluo would be unable to detect him."

Every sentence Xiao Lin spoke was about Little San, but to Tang Hao's ears, they were all about Ah Yin.

That's right. With Ah Yin's abilities, if she hadn't been burdened by Little San and me, how could she ever have been driven to sacrifice herself?

Tang Hao's eyes were bloodshot, and two streams of tears ran down his rugged face.

"Ah Yin... Ah Yin... Ah Yin!"

Tang Hao's state of mind had already collapsed. He was now like a male lion driven from its pride—lonely and desolate, able only to keep licking his wounds and continue onward alone.

"Actually, once Little San reaches Titled Douluo, Blue Silver Grass's vitality might even make it possible to revive someone who has just died."

Xiao Lin spoke fluently, like a professor with an exceptionally profound understanding of martial souls.

"Revive? Can she really be revived?"

At those words, Tang Hao instantly seized upon hope. In a flash, he grabbed Xiao Lin by the shoulders and stared at him with bloodshot eyes. "Can she really be revived?"

"Of course. As long as a being with tenacious vitality still has a spark of life left, there is hope of revival. Uncle Hao, that hurts!"

Tang Hao's large hand gripped Xiao Lin so painfully that, if not for the hardening ability of his Imprisoning Dragon Staff, he felt his arm would have already been crushed.

Tang Hao released Xiao Lin, then turned to look at Tang San behind him.

"Little San, remember this. In the future, focus on vitality. Choose soul rings that increase Blue Silver Grass's vitality."

Tang Hao placed all his hopes of revival on Tang San. According to Xiao Lin's theory, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass—the Blue Silver Emperor—had a chance to revive Ah Yin.

Though the confused Tang San did not understand why, he could only obediently follow Tang Hao's words.

"Actually, Blue Silver Grass should have chosen soul rings that increase vitality from the beginning. If you treat it like a rope-type martial soul and choose soul rings for toughness, that would be putting the cart before the horse."

"As Blue Silver Grass's vitality increases, it will naturally become tougher, and it will also benefit Little San's body."

"Besides that, choosing a soul skill like Blue Silver Grass Entanglement will not benefit Little San's future either."

"Blue Silver Grass itself is fragile. Once Little San chooses that sort of soul skill, he will inevitably find it useless in the future. That would be an enormous waste."

"If he chooses vitality instead, Little San's combat ability will be somewhat weaker in the early stages, but it will definitely be better for his future."

"Just like how I did not choose an ordinary Attack Soul Skill for my Imprisoning Dragon Staff. Instead, I chose an enhancement-type soul skill, like the support soul rings of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Attackers come and go, but support endures."

"Support skills never become outdated. If Little San chooses soul rings with vitality, it will be more perfect whether for himself or for his teammates."

"Such soul skills can also affect Little San's Second Soul Skill, Third Soul Skill, and so on."

Xiao Lin was brimming with confidence. From the perspective of someone from the modern world, he naturally knew the saying that attack skills were inferior to support skills, and support skills were inferior to passive skills.

If possible, he would have preferred for his Imprisoning Dragon Staff to gain a soul skill that permanently increased its strength.

Xiao Lin's words left everyone present silent for a while.

Old Jack had not expected his grandson to be so learned, or to even know about the Titled Douluo level.

Tang San had not expected Xiao Lin to understand a martial soul like Blue Silver Grass so thoroughly.

Tang Hao had not expected Xiao Lin's theoretical knowledge to be no less impressive than the Grandmaster's.

For a moment, all three of them looked at Xiao Lin in a new light. None of them dared to underestimate him as merely a six-year-old child anymore.

Tang Hao remained silent for a long time before finally asking, "If you were choosing Little San's First Soul Ring, what kind of soul beast do you think he should choose?"

It was here. The final test.

Xiao Lin looked calm and unruffled on the surface, but inwardly, he was ecstatic.

If he performed well this time, perhaps Tang Hao might even capture some high-quality soul beasts for him.

"I had actually thought about Little San's soul skills long ago. Back when I thought I might awaken Blue Silver Grass myself, I had already planned out my First Soul Ring."

"Little San has two choices for his soul ring. One is Pom Pom Cotton, a Plant-Type Soul Beast that appears quite frequently in the Star Dou Great Forest. It has powerful regenerative abilities; even if half its body is destroyed, it can quickly regenerate."

"Because most of its body is cotton, it is extremely soft and has relatively strong resistance to blunt attacks."

"The other choice is the Three-Eyed Salamander. It is also a soul beast with powerful regenerative abilities. Since it is an animal-type soul beast, it can somewhat increase the strength of Little San's Blue Silver Grass and keep it from being too fragile."

"Furthermore, Three-Eyed Salamanders can voluntarily sever their tails to survive. In other words, Little San's Blue Silver Grass may also gain such an ability, reducing the effect that shattered Blue Silver Grass has on him."

"Of course, when the Blue Silver Grass martial soul itself is shattered, it already has the least impact on the soul master's body."

"These two soul ring options can both be absorbed even after Little San becomes a Soul Grandmaster. It just depends on which one he absorbs first."

"I personally recommend absorbing the Three-Eyed Salamander first. Animal-type soul beasts can improve Little San's physical constitution more, while Pom Pom Cotton is a Plant-Type Soul Beast with weaker consciousness. Once Little San reaches the Soul Grandmaster realm, he may be able to absorb it beyond his limit."

"Of course, Plant-Type Soul Beasts do not cultivate easily. What to choose will ultimately depend on fate."

As soon as Xiao Lin finished speaking, he picked up a bowl of water and drained it in one go.

Facing Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo, Xiao Lin had not shown the slightest timidity as he laid out theories that went against common knowledge on the Douluo Continent. Naturally, his mouth had gone dry.

Without waiting for Tang Hao and the others to ask anything, Xiao Lin continued.

"Oh, right. There's one more thing."

"Blue Silver Grass must never absorb spirit rings with other attributes, unless they're the relatively gentle water and earth attributes—attributes necessary for a plant's growth."

"Other attributes will only affect Little San's abilities. Achieving an ability that is practically resurrection would become extremely difficult, especially poison. Poison would taint the purity of Blue Silver Grass and could even backlash against Little San's true body."

The moment Xiao Lin said this, he had practically cut off any possibility of Yu Xiaogang coming into contact with Tang San.

Anyone could understand just how useless the Blue Silver Entanglement from the original story had been.
