Famous Teacher? Master, Forget It!

"The spar has concluded, Bai Mu wins!"

After the dean announced the result, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

He'd rather fight a thousand-year Spirit Beast than be this damn referee again!

Kids these days really go too hard.

They're risking their lives!

"How is this possible... Am I dreaming?"

Beside him, Yu Xiaogang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his head felt dizzy.

His genius disciple Tang San, who possessed Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls, had actually lost to a cripple with Innate Soul Power level 1, despite his opponent being 10 levels higher?

Is this right? Is this right!

"Bai Mu, you and your Martial Soul are very strong, but if we spar again next time, I will win."

Tang San looked at Bai Mu with unconcealed unwillingness.

He could accept losing to a Spirit Master whose level was higher than his, but he absolutely could not accept losing to a mere Spirit Scholar!

"Don't worry, I definitely won't lose!"

Bai Mu said proudly.

Once I become a Spirit Master, I'll drop out. You can win against me in your dreams, Little San.

"I'm sorry, Teacher, I... lost!"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's displeased expression, Tang San felt he had failed his teacher's teachings.

"It's alright, Little San, this is just a small setback. Believe in your talent, the future belongs to you."

Yu Xiaogang put on a kind expression and comforted him.

Tang San: "En!"

"Not bad, not bad! Your Zygarde is truly the most special Martial Soul I've ever seen!"

The dean patted Bai Mu's shoulder with a smile and said, "In my opinion, in terms of quality alone, it can be compared to the number one Beast Martial Soul in the world, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon..."

"That's incomparable!"

Bai Mu waved his hands repeatedly. How could the mere Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon be mentioned in the same breath as Zygarde?

Wasn't that hilarious!

"Hahaha... as expected of my academy's genius!"

Mistaking Bai Mu's humility, the Dean laughed even more heartily: "I think you can at least challenge a Spirit Beast of 400 years."

"Really!"

Bai Mu feigned surprise, but in reality, he didn't care.

To him, as long as it could provide suitable Spirit Skills, it didn't matter whether the age was 100 or 999.

"I admit, I underestimated you in the past, Bai Mu."

Yu Xiaogang walked over, shamelessly asking: "Your Martial Soul is far beyond my imagination. Can you tell me how you taught Zygarde Spirit Skills?"

"Isn't this something it learns automatically after Martial Soul Evolution? It needs to be taught?

Bai Mu's eyes widened, his face full of confusion: "Could it be... Grandmaster, you can't?"

"Cough cough~ It's normal for there to be some small differences between Martial Souls."

Yu Xiaogang coughed twice to ease the awkwardness.

"That's true. People's physiques can't be generalized, and neither can Martial Souls."

Bai Mu chuckled: "External Martial Souls also have differences!"

If it were the Golden Sacred Dragon, it could at least compare with the current 10% Zygarde.

But Luo Sanpao, who could only let out three farts, didn't even have the qualifications to sit at the same table as the core form Zygarde!

"Let's not talk about this."

Yu Xiaogang forcibly changed the subject:

"Bai Mu~ Your talent is beyond your imagination. I believe you need a professional renowned teacher to truly unleash your potential. Coincidentally, I know such a teacher."

"Renowned teacher? Grandmaster, spare me."

Bai Mu laughed heartily, directly shutting him up:

"What renowned teacher could there be in our small Nuoding City? They definitely wouldn't be skilled. I won't go, won't go!"

"..."

Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened. Just as he was about to continue persuading, the Dean directly put an arm around his shoulder.

"Alright, alright, then it's settled!"

Dean of Notting laughed heartily: "We'll set off for the Soul Hunting Forest tomorrow. You all go back and prepare what you need to bring."

"Okay, Dean! I'll go prepare!"

Bai Mu responded enthusiastically, recalled Zygarde, and turned to run!

"Dean!"

Yu Xiaogang glared at the Dean of Notting.

"Forced fruit isn't sweet. Xiaogang, you go prepare too."

The Dean thought to himself: My academy's excellent students are all being poached by you to be disciples. What kind of situation is this?

--

The next morning, a carriage left Nuoding City and sped towards the Soul Hunting Forest in the northeast.

Inside the carriage sat the Dean of Notting, Bai Mu, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang.

"The Soul Hunting Forest is about four hundred li from Nuoding City. We'll arrive before noon tomorrow."

The Dean of Notting asked, "If Bai Mu, you're sure you want a healing Spirit Skill, then the choice of Spirit Beast will have to be found by chance. Most of these Spirit Beasts are plant-type Spirit Beasts."

"No problem, plants are quite good."

Bai Mu had already considered this issue.

Zygarde's very nature is related to ecology, and plants are an important part of ecology.

In the anime, Z2 (50% Zygarde) was controlled by Team Flare to "plant trees" throughout the Kalos region, causing a profound impact.

From this perspective, plant-type Spirit Beasts are a perfect match for Zygarde!

"Healing Spirit Beasts are difficult to find and have limited choices. I still suggest you choose an attack-type Spirit Skill."

Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but interject upon hearing this:

"The development of a Spirit should focus on strengths and avoid weaknesses, not compensate for weaknesses!

And as the first Spirit Ring, it lays the foundation for the subsequent development of the Spirit. Since your Spirit has three Spirit Skills, you should choose an attack-type Spirit Skill to enhance your advantages!"

"Master's suggestion is very good, but don't suggest it next time."

Bai Mu said calmly, "My mind is made up. I just want a healing Spirit Skill to help me compensate for my weaknesses."

My great Zygarde can learn moves on its own, why would I choose an attack-type Spirit Skill!

I'll choose control, defense, or enhancement, but not attack!

"You! You're beyond saving!"

Yu Xiaogang was furious.

"Play to your strengths? Complement each other's strengths?"

Tang San sat to the side, lost in thought.

He had also considered healing Spirit Skills, but he didn't want to be an auxiliary, entrusting his fate to others, which was why he chose to be a control-type Spirit Master who controlled everything.

Control-type, that was the strongest!

The next day at noon, the carriage successfully arrived at the Soul Hunting Forest.

After a simple meal, the group passed through the market and then arrived at the forest entrance.

After showing their permits to the guards, they smoothly entered the forest.

As they passed through the iron fence and entered the forest, all the noise seemed to disappear instantly, and the air became exceptionally fresh, making one feel incredibly relaxed.

"Don't be fooled by the surface phenomena of things, don't let your guard down."

The dean reminded them and took the lead walking at the front: "The Spirit Beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest are mostly decades or a hundred years old, with very few thousand-year-old Spirit Beasts. We need to go deeper."

"Okay!"

Bai Mu responded and summoned Zygarde, which he had been holding back all day.

"Come out, Xiao Ruan!"

"Woof~"

Appearing in the forest, Zygarde felt more comfortable than ever. With every breath, it felt as if it could sense the rhythm of the surrounding life.

It was a pity that the cell count was not enough; otherwise, it would definitely spread its cells throughout the entire forest.

Bai Mu: "Your vision is too narrow. Spreading across the entire continent, even the whole world, is the goal!"
