Life Lesson: Innate Soul Power Level Five Comparable to Innate Full Soul Power? Tang San's Resentment: It's All Yu Xiaogang's Fault!

Yu Xiaogang's defense appeared so pale and powerless amid the mocking laughter of tens of thousands throughout the venue.

Tang San sat beside him, his face so dark it seemed ready to drip water.

Watching his foolish past self in the image preparing to chop bamboo, he felt his face burn with humiliation.

Back then, he had thought his teacher was steady and cautious.

Looking at it now, how was that steadiness?

It was clearly incompetence!

Weakness!

Because he lacked the ability to hunt high-level spirit beasts, he had wanted to fob him off with a trash ten-year spirit ring!

"If I had truly absorbed that ten-year spirit ring back then..."

Tang San did not dare think further. If that had happened, this so-called "genius" of his would likely have long since faded into obscurity.

However, after the ridicule subsided, the Heavenly Screen had no intention of letting this master and disciple pair off so easily.

The image shifted, and the Heavenly Screen on the right lit up.

Faced with the seemingly weak Blue Silver Grass martial soul, Tang Shan of the Current World gave an answer that overturned everyone's understanding!

[Current World · Clear Sky Sect · Martial Arts Arena]

[Tang Shan's Lecture: The Correct Way to Unlock Blue Silver Grass—Life Devouring Style!]

[Current World · Haotian City · Blue Silver Valley]

The image shifted, and the scene displayed on the right Heavenly Screen made everyone suck in a cold breath.

It was no longer the reclusive Clear Sky Sect of the Original World, with only a few lonely peaks.

Instead, it was a majestic, spectacular giant city stretching across the mountain range:

Haotian City!

[Narration: After Tang Shan returned in the Current World, the Clear Sky Sect entered a period of rapid development!]

The image swept past at high speed:

The four single-attribute clans—Strength, Defense, Agility, and Breaking—had not only all returned, but every clan leader wore an expression of pride and prosperity.

They were no longer as impoverished as they had been in the Original World. They wore fine robes and held great power.

Even more astonishing were cart after cart of rare resources bearing the Spirit Hall insignia.

They were continuously transported into Haotian City!

Tang Shan had led the sect's powerhouses and even brought out the mighty Tang Chen, forcibly "extorting" this enormous compensation from Spirit Hall!

With these resources, Haotian Academy rose from the ground and recruited spirit masters from across the land.

The image eventually settled on a mist-shrouded valley behind the academy, a place as beautiful as a fairyland.

Blue Silver Grass covered the mountains and plains here, gently swaying in the breeze and exuding a refreshing aura of life.

At the center of the valley stood the twelve-year-old Tang Shan, now fully grown. Dressed in white, with an otherworldly temperament, he resembled a god of life walking among mortals.

At his side, the gentle and beautiful Ah Yin smiled as she guided a group of young students.

Without exception, every one of these students possessed Blue Silver Grass martial souls!

Moreover, their Innate Soul Power was extremely low. Some were level five, some level three, and several were only level 0.1.

In the Original World, they would have been destined to become worthless people.

"Though Blue Silver Grass is weak, it possesses tenacious vitality."

Tang Shan's warm, jade-like voice echoed through the valley:

"Previously, there was a fame-stealing fraud named Yu Xiaogang who had you hunt animal-type spirit beasts. That was putting the cart before the horse.

"The true essence of Blue Silver Grass lies in endless life, in Life Devouring and nourishment in return."

As he spoke, the enormous Blue Silver Emperor martial soul behind Tang Shan slowly emerged.

Golden veins emitted life fluctuations so dense they reached an extreme, instantly enveloping the entire valley!

At the same time, Ah Yin released the aura of her own Blue Silver Emperor, guiding the hundreds of millions of ordinary Blue Silver Grass plants in the valley into resonance with the students.

[Instructors: God Son Tang Shan & Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin!]

The image focused on a youth named Wang Xiao Er.

[Wang Xiao Er, Blue Silver Grass martial soul, Innate Soul Power level five.]

In the Original World, with such aptitude, he would at best be fated to become a Soul Ancestor, his cultivation speed as slow as a snail.

Yet in the image, Wang Xiao Er sat cross-legged amid the Blue Silver Grass, breathing and meditating according to the special method Tang Shan had taught him.

Countless Blue Silver Grass plants around him seemed to come alive. Bit by bit, weak yet pure life energy gathered into a river and surged madly into Wang Xiao Er's body!

Buzzz—!

After only one meditation session, the Soul Power fluctuations around Wang Xiao Er visibly rose by a considerable amount!

[Narration: Under the guidance of two God Level Blue Silver bloodlines, Blue Silver Grass spirit masters can cultivate by borrowing the Spirit of Vegetation!]

[Cultivation Speed Comparison: Wang Xiao Er (Innate Soul Power level 5) ≈ cultivation speed of Innate Full Soul Power in the Original World!]

These huge words flashing across the screen were even more shocking than Tang Shan absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring earlier!

[Real World · Uproar Throughout the Venue]

"Holy shit?! The cultivation speed of Innate Soul Power level five is comparable to Innate Full Soul Power?!"

"How is that possible?! This completely overturns the common sense of the Spirit Master World!"

"So this is how Blue Silver Grass is cultivated?

"You don't need to hunt spirit beasts; you just need to meditate in a patch of grass?"

Those commoner spirit masters who had once felt inferior for awakening Blue Silver Grass now had bloodshot eyes.

They stared fixedly at the Heavenly Screen, wishing they could crawl inside and acknowledge Tang Shan as their teacher!

How was this merely teaching?

This was practically defying fate and changing one's destiny!

[Original World · Shrek Academy Rest Area]

"Pfft—"

This time, it was no longer Tang San who vomited blood, but Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang watched Wang Xiao Er's cultivation speed soar in the image.

Then he looked at his own theory of "there are no useless martial souls, only useless spirit masters" and felt as though his face had been slapped swollen.

His so-called "no useless martial souls" relied on nothing but stubborn rhetoric.

Tang Shan's "no useless martial souls," however, relied on real resources and the guidance of God Level martial souls.

As well as a profound understanding of the essence of martial souls!

"Life Devouring... resonance with vegetation..."

Yu Xiaogang's lips trembled, and his eyes became unfocused:

"Wrong... It was all wrong...

"Blue Silver Grass never needed to imitate the attributes of animals... It was itself a vessel for life force..."

The Mimicry Theory he had been so proud of—

Before Tang Shan's Great Dao of Life, it was simply a childish joke!

Tang San's face was ashen as death.

Looking at Wang Xiao Er, whose Innate Soul Power was level five, an indescribable jealousy and bitterness surged in his heart.

If... if Tang Shan or his mother, Ah Yin, had taught him from the beginning...

With his foundation of Innate Full Soul Power, combined with this correct cultivation method, how strong would he be now?

He would probably have long since broken through to Soul King, or even Soul Emperor, right?!

"Yu Xiaogang..."

Tang San turned his head and stared coldly at the Master beside him, who was still muttering to himself. The last trace of respect in Tang San's heart vanished into thin air, replaced by intense resentment.

"You're not only a liar, you're also a mediocre teacher!

"You ruined me! You led me down the wrong path!"

Tang San roared inwardly. If looks could kill, Yu Xiaogang would have already been riddled with holes.

And as though the Heavenly Screen thought this was still not enough, the image shifted again and presented an even more direct comparison!
