Choice of the Second Spirit Ring
"Tang San, have you taken your leave yet?"
Seeing Tang San return to the dormitory, Zhou Qing asked him about it.
"Nature."
Tang San said with a happy expression, "Moreover, Nuoding Academy Dean was also in his office at the time. After learning about our ideas, he was very supportive and even prepared to work hard to cultivate for the next three years to reach the Soul Elder so that the junior academy could be promoted to an intermediate academy and he could lead us to challenge a certain Advanced Soul Master Academy in Heaven Dou City."
Zhou Qing wasn't too surprised by this, since Nuoding Academy Dean had always hoped that his junior academy could be promoted to an intermediate academy.
After being promoted to an intermediate academy, if a team within the academy is able to defeat a certain Advanced Academy in Heaven Dou City, and even achieve certain results in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, then this intermediate academy will surely attract many talented students to apply.
But--
Ultimately, it depends on the college's management policies and the teaching quality of the teachers.
This is the true path to victory!
Relying solely on students?
It won't last long.
However, since they will all become teachers at the academy in the future, it wouldn't be impossible for them to offer their opinions to the principal and help improve the academy.
After all, in Zhou Qing's view, Nuoding Academy already occupies a considerable area, comparable to a key high school in his previous life. If those idle spaces were developed and utilized, it could definitely be considered a qualified intermediate academy.
"Shall we set off tomorrow?" Tang San asked.
"Let's rest for a couple of days first."
Zhou Qing said that they had just completed their mission, so they should first adjust their mindset and allow their bodies and minds to recover to their best state before making any further moves.
After a moment's thought, Tang San agreed with this statement and then asked Zhou Qing what kind of Soul Beast he wanted to hunt as his Second Spirit Ring.
Zhou Qing had already thought this through.
Dancing Winter Rabbit.
"Dancing Winter Rabbit?" Tang San was familiar with this kind of Soul Beast. It was said that it was widely distributed in the Northern Forest, and every winter, it would run and leap on the snow as if it were dancing. "Why choose this kind of Soul Beast?"
"The Dancing Winter Rabbit is a dual element of water and ice, which meets my requirement of having multiple elemental Soul Skill."
Zhou Qing explained, "Secondly, it's because the Dancing Winter Rabbit actually possess strong Qi and Blood. After all, according to the book, they are almost always jumping around in winter, as if they are holding a dance party that lasts all winter."
Tang San pondered, "Indeed, such endurance requires incredibly strong Qi and Blood."
"Finally, one last point is that I want to verify a hypothesis—"
Zhou Qing no longer concealed anything, "When absorbing the Soul Ring of the Moo Spring Ox, I felt a kind of vitality, different from Life, rising from my sacrum to my cervical spine and running through my entire spine... It felt like the revival of all things. I suspect that the Moo Spring Ox may really represent the season of 'spring,' so I want to try whether the Dancing Winter Rabbit, Soul Beast with the same seasonal behavior as the Moo Spring Ox, can bring me a similar experience."
Tang San asked with some concern, "Isn't this too risky?"
"It doesn't matter, I have to experiment by myself." Zhou Qing pointed to his heart, "The human heart has exactly four chambers, which together form the character []."
Although the characters in Douluo Continent are different from those in the previous life, they are also pictographic characters, so they are very similar to the Chinese character "" in the previous life.
"If my guess is correct, then gathering the four seasons might allow the heart part of my Blood Circulation System Martial Soul to transform into Heart Field containing the four seasons. Combined with blood flow and circulation, and with the cultivation of the Innate Internal Scripture Chart, it might even allow me to experience the wonder of the Seasonal Cycle."
Hearing Zhou Qing say this, Tang San was slightly taken aback, not expecting Zhou Qing to have such thoughts.
Moreover, both the Moo Spring Ox and the Dancing Winter Rabbit are numerous Soul Beasts, so finding a high-age individual is a little difficult.
But this is actually not important. After all, with the help of Romantina / Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, they can complete the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement in advance. Therefore, it doesn't matter if the Soul Ring's age is a little lower at the beginning. At most, it means that the energy contained in it is a little less, so the increase in Soul Power after the initial refinement is also less.
After all, the main factor that allows Martial Soul to grow and evolve is Soul Power, not Soul Ring. The latter only plays a guiding and catalytic role—this role is most evident in the Elemental Fox Martial Soul.
"Now it's your turn. Do you have any ideas about which Plant Soul Beast to choose for your Second Spirit Ring?" Zhou Qing asked Tang San about his choice of the Second Spirit Ring.
"Um... I usually focus on forging, so my memories of Plant Soul Beast are still limited to those in your house. I haven't really looked through the Beast Encyclopedia in Nuoding Library."
Tang San scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. After all, he hadn't expected that his Soul Power Level could break through so quickly, reaching level nineteen, by sheer chance. He didn't even have time to think about the problem.
Fortunately, there are two days of rest, which can be used to look up the corresponding books that record Plant Soul Beast.
"The Plant Soul Beast attribute required for your Second Spirit Ring must be the Life attribute, without a doubt."
Zhou Qing knew that Tang San's rapid increase in Soul Power had indeed disrupted his cultivation plan to some extent, but he still analyzed the choice of his Second Spirit Ring for him. "However, to make the Martial Soul bring out its own advantages, we still need to think about its innate function! Didn't I ask you to cultivate in the forest before and compare the two environments of [having Blue Silver Grass] and [not having Blue Silver Grass]? What did you find?"
Blue Silver Grass is a plant that can grow wherever other plants exist, except in extremely extreme climates such as volcanoes and the Extreme North.
Therefore, for Tang San, every place was Mimetic Cultivation Environment.
"Talent? I've certainly discovered it—"
What is it?
"Perception".
When Tang San was cultivating in the woods Back Mountain the academy where there was no Blue Silver Grass, he found that the efficiency of circulating the Blue Silver Cultivation Method was higher than in the usual environment.
While cultivating in the forest where Blue Silver Grass grew, Tang San was surprised to find that his Martial Soul had become active and formed a strange connection with the surrounding Blue Silver Grass plants, as if all the Blue Silver Grass around him was the Scream and singing praises to his Martial Soul.
It was an indescribable feeling; he couldn't even focus his mind, and he even doubted if it was an illusion.
However, compared to cultivating in a forest without Blue Silver Grass, there is no such dreamlike quality... Therefore, Tang San defined the true talent of his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul as perception!
Experience the true Blue Silver Grass plant!
"So, have you ever thought about amplifying this talent of sensing Blue Silver Grass, so that you can sense all plants in the future, listen to their words, and become the ruler and master of plants?" Zhou Qing naturally understood that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass could sense other Blue Silver Grass plants because its essence was Blue Silver Emperor, which was comparable to the Clear Sky Hammer and was one of the Plant Sovereign.
When the Blue Silver Emperor becomes Martial Soul, it naturally possesses the talent to sense Blue Silver Grass and even control it.
If this perceptive ability is amplified and made powerful enough to perceive all plants in the world, then could Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor become the ruler of all plants?
The fact that Ah Yin could fuse with the Golden Ancient Tree suggests that Tang San from the original timeline might have helped, but the Blue Silver Emperor itself also possesses a significant affinity for other plants...
