After coughing lightly twice, Yu Xiaogang's expression turned solemn as he said sternly, "Little San, have you forgotten what I told you? A control-system Soul Master must not only control his enemies, but also himself. Look at yourself now. Have you taken a single word of my teachings to heart?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's criticism, Tang San closed his eyes in shame. "That's right! Control myself. Because of Dugu Yan, my mindset became unbalanced and slipped out of my control. And in the match against the Imperial Dou Team, because I was afraid Xiao Wu would be hurt, I lost control of the entire battle."
Tang San then opened his eyes and said guiltily, "This disciple was wrong. I failed to remember Teacher's teachings."
Seeing that he had intimidated Tang San, Yu Xiaogang felt quite pleased with himself. He nodded slightly and consoled him, "It's good that you know you were wrong. Do you remember why I had you absorb poison-attributed Soul Rings in the first place?"
Tang San nodded slightly. "Teacher said that Blue Silver Grass is a plant and inherently weak, so it can easily absorb toxins. Unlike most Beast Martial Souls, it will not poison its wielder after absorbing poison-attributed Soul Rings."
"Moreover, Blue Silver Grass is soft and can be freely controlled into all kinds of forms. With toxins attached, it gains offensive power."
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly, looking at Tang San with satisfaction as he said proudly, "That's right. Haven't your consecutive victories in Soul Master battles over the past month proven that the path Teacher chose for you is correct?"
"Dugu Yan's Soul Power Level is a full sixteen levels higher than yours. If you had the same Soul Power Level, would she still have been able to shred your Blue Silver Grass so easily?"
