But sometimes, if you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step.

After bidding farewell to Xiao Wu Tang San followed Tang Hao and rushed to the Blue Silver Forest without stopping.

During this time, Little Blue has fully recovered and has begun to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor.

Blue Silver King, after all, was not face-to-face with Little Blue, so his suppression was limited.

On the day Tang San arrived at the Blue Silver Forest, Little Blue completed her evolution.

The sapphire-like, dazzling, and transparent Blue Silver Emperor, with a golden vein, unfolds among the Immortal Herb of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Even among these extraordinary immortal Immortal Herb, Little Blue stands out with its remarkable qualities.

Blue Silver Forest

Tang San looked at the forest covered with Blue Silver Grass in front of him, filled with joy, and was about to enter.

The aura that had previously made him want to submit reappeared, suppressing Tang San completely.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul also appeared along with his bloodline, and it had changed drastically. It was a mix of blue-purple and yellow, with sharp thorns on its surface, curved like a snake, and covered with a layer of mucus and Man Faced Demon Spider venom. The Blue Silver Grass bowed slightly.

It seemed to be trying to resist, trembling and lifting itself up – this was the struggle of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline within its body.

As a descendant of the emperor, it also possesses its own pride and self-respect.

However, the affinity of the Soul Ring attached to it is too poor.

Instead of strengthening its bloodline and attributes, it corrupted its bloodline, causing it to evolve down an evil path.

The moment it appeared, the surrounding Blue Silver Grass did not sway and celebrate with joy because of its Blue Silver Emperor bloodline; instead, they avoided it like the plague.

Finally, the struggle ended, and Tang San's Blue Silver Grass completely subsided and disappeared from that wisp of Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline!

A new emperor has been born!

························

Tang San felt a sense of suppression emanating from his bloodline, and his expression became somewhat dazed, as if something important had completely disappeared.

Tang Hao noticed Tang San 'Tang San unusual behavior and wanted to help him, but as a human, he was powerless to intervene and didn't know how to help.

"Come out!" Tang Hao roared at a certain being in the Blue Silver Forest.

Ah Yin had mentioned her hometown to him, and he knew that Ah Yin had a loyal servant who would help Tang San awaken his bloodline, but now an accident has occurred.

Tang Hao couldn't help but suspect that this loyal servant had betrayed him.

The Blue Silver King sensed the aura of the emperor's descendant emanating from outside the forest and immediately rushed over. Its humanoid form was merely a phantom without a physical body, but it was still a step too late.

However, the Blue Silver King did not appear when Tang Hao questioned him.

A new emperor has been born, Blue Silver King's main duty is to protect his people and assist the Blue Silver Emperor in awakening his bloodline.

Now that Tang San no longer possesses the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, the Blue Silver King naturally won't pay him any attention.

Although he regretted that the emperor's descendant had failed to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor, he would never rebel for the sake of this descendant who had already failed to evolve.

The rule of the Blue Silver King Blue Silver Grass Clan is that the Blue Silver Emperor.

and...

From a distance, watching the twisted, bizarre, and ugly Blue Silver Grass in front of Tang San, the Blue Silver King shook his head.

Without an awakening ceremony, it's difficult for this Blue Silver Grass to evolve into Blue Silver King, let alone Blue Silver Emperor.

I don't know how this descendant was raised. He arrived so late, and his Martial Soul is in such a terrible state.

He shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and the illusory figure he had conjured also dissipated. As for Tang Hao's threat, he might have been afraid and wary if they were outside.

But this is the Blue Silver Forest, the home ground of the Blue Silver Grass, where the Blue Silver King can also prolong his life through the sharing of energy among his clan.

If it really comes down to a direct confrontation, it is not afraid of humans; its endless supply of Blue Silver Grass can wear down any human to death.

On the red Soul Ring on his body, the Blue Silver King sensed the aura of the previous Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, suggesting that the emperor had voluntarily sacrificed himself to him.

The Blue Silver King sighed; it simply couldn't understand these so-called matters of love and affection.

It's that absurd. Whoever is the Blue Silver Emperor, the Blue Silver King will listen to them. If there is no new Blue Silver Emperor, then the last words of the previous Blue Silver Emperor will be followed.

························

Tang San felt the suppression emanating from his bloodline, a suppression that was thousands of miles away yet always present, and his face turned ugly.

She told her father, Tang Hao, about the situation, and Tang Hao's expression was equally grim after hearing it.

"Little San, can you sense where that thing that's suppressing you is?" Tang Hao gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Now that a new Blue Silver Emperor has been born and is blocking the path of the mistress, it has no choice but to eliminate him.

"Dad, I can only sense that the other party is very far away, but I don't know their exact location." Tang San shook his head. He disliked this feeling of being suppressed and wanted to kill the other party immediately, but he couldn't find their location.

"Sigh!" Tang Hao couldn't help but sigh. If he had known it would turn out like this, he should have brought Tang San to the Blue Silver Forest sooner, as Ah Yin had instructed.

But he didn't know that such a change would happen. According to Ah Yin, the higher the Soul Power Level, the stronger the physique and spirit, and the better the Soul Ring that can be condensed in the Blue Silver Forest.

Tang San, who had not awakened his bloodline, was nothing like Ah Yin. Instead, he was just like Tang Hao, with an ordinary face and strange behavior. Tang Hao had not liked this child before.

But now we have no choice but to try again, even if it seems hopeless, and see if it works.

Tang Hao walked to Tang San's side, "Release your Blue Silver Grass, then use your heart to sense it. With your bloodline, you should be able to sense it."

However, things are not so certain now. According to the sense of suppression that Tang San mentioned, a new Blue Silver Emperor has been born.

It's unknown whether the mistress's inheritance of Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline is still useful.

Without thinking much, Tang San immediately closed his eyes.

The Blue Silver Grass was released on its own, slowly emerging around his body.

Ordinary Soul Master at his level would find it impossible to condense spiritual power, but Tang San cultivated the Purple Demon Eye and the Mysterious Heaven Skill, making his spiritual power far surpass that of ordinary people.

Tang San dispersed his concentrated spiritual energy in all directions, but there was no response. The only occasional reaction was the fear and dread that the Blue Silver Grass avoided.

Without the blessing of the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass could not conceal its God of Evil aura at all, and the Blue Silver Grass all avoided it like the plague.

Tang San sensed for a while before opening his eyes in confusion.

Tang Hao immediately asked, "So, mistress, any response?"

Tang San didn't speak, but shook his head, his face somewhat gloomy and unpleasant.

Deep within the Blue Silver Forest, the Blue Silver King also sensed Tang San's overflowing spiritual power, but did not respond in any way.

Without the blessing of the Blue Silver King's bloodline, this is just an ordinary human-beast hybrid with mixed bloodlines. How could the Blue Silver King possibly be interested in him?

The Blue Silver King only obeys the Blue Silver Emperor's orders.

Chapter 148 Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan

Spirit City

Inside the Spirit Hall Academy, Zhu Zhuqing has fully adapted to life there.

Due to her age and rank, Zhu Zhuqing is currently a third-year student at the Intermediate Academy. She is the youngest student in her class, and her Soul Power Level is among the top ten in the class, but her overall academic performance is only average.

Zhu Zhuqing finally met her upperclassman roommate, a beautiful senior named Hu Liena.

The senior student was very beautiful, completely different from Zhu Zhuqing herself. Her figure and appearance were almost perfect, her temperament was alluring and mature, and her voice was melodious and husky. Every smile and frown of hers was intoxicating. There were many admirers of senior student Hu Liena in the college.

Senior Hu Liena has an older brother named Xie Yue. Zhu Zhuqing saw him helping Senior Hu Liena carry her things downstairs and initially thought he was Senior Hu Liena's boyfriend, but later found out that they were siblings, one with the father's surname and the other with the mother's surname.

It is said that she also has a teacher, who is a deacon of the Spirit Hall, but Zhu Zhuqing has never met him.

The morning sunlight bathed the Spirit Hall Academy in a golden glow. Zhu Zhuqing got up on time to participate in the morning running training. There were senior students supervising and counting the number of participants. Running was something every student had to do, even support-type Soul Master.

After finishing the run, I went to the cafeteria and picked up a free breakfast: a bowl of lean meat porridge, two meat buns, two vegetable buns, and a cup of soy milk. That was enough for an ordinary Soul Master to eat his fill. A few people with special Martial Soul, who grow quickly and have high nutritional needs, could buy more by spending money, and the prices were very reasonable.

Most of the students at the Spirit Hall Academy are orphans and commoners, and free breakfast is their main source of food.

Not only are meals and tuition waived, but there are also work-study opportunities similar to those at the Nuoding Academy. In addition, students at the Spirit Hall Academy can save up some money after becoming Soul Master.

After breakfast, it's time to get ready for class.

Because of the large number of students, the classrooms are tiered classrooms, with a podium at the front and a row of students at the back, arranged from low to high. Even if a student sits at the back, as long as their eyesight is good, they can still see the teacher's every move clearly without worrying about being blocked by the people in front.

Zhu Zhuqing sat in the first row, clutching a thick notebook; she was among the most diligent students in the group.

This class is a pill-making class because Pope Qian Xunji said that students' memory is best in the morning. The Dean, who regards His Holiness the His Holiness the Pope's words as gospel, specially arranged this schedule. All academic classes are in the morning, and the first two classes in the morning are either mathematics, pill refining and principles, or the principles and production of Soul Tool...

When classes first started, Zhu Zhuqing was confused and didn't know what the courses were for.

But after learning the details, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up.

The basic pills in the textbook are already comparable to those that can replace support-type Soul Master below the Soul King.

More importantly, these pills can be stored and taken at any time, which is much more convenient than those delicate support-type Soul Master rely on protection.

Support-type Soul Master cultivate slowly, and there are very few high-level ones. High-level support-type Soul Master are considered precious strategic resources.

If Zhu Zhuqing could learn how to make those high-level pills in this book, she felt her status would definitely rise, and at least her safety would be guaranteed.

Zhu Zhuqing was still somewhat self-aware. With a level seven innate Soul Power, her upper limit was only Soul Saint. If she wanted to continue climbing higher, she needed to acquire other skills.

Of course, she was also learning about Soul Tool. Unlike pills, Zhu Zhuqing, as a noblewoman, had been exposed to many Soul Tool before and was not Xiao Bai.

························

Zhu Zhuqing also joined the Alchemy Society founded by her senior, Dugu Yan, and made many friends.

Some students are already earning money by taking orders from the Alchemy Hall, and many plan to the Alchemy Hall directly after graduation.

"Zhu Zhuqing, I'm going to enter the advanced academy next school year. Compared to a pure Battle Soul Master, I feel that alchemy is more suitable for me. I plan to study alchemy technology..." A long-haired senior in a white school uniform with gold trim was chatting with Zhu Zhuqing. Her Martial Soul was the Silver Moon Vine. She was a control-type Soul Master in the team and did not have a high status. However, she was exceptionally talented in alchemy.

"Just think it over carefully."

Zhu Zhuqing was still practicing frying the furnace, smiled. Compared to these commoner students, Zhu Zhuqing had an advantage: she was rich. Commoner students could only receive alchemy materials to practice in alchemy class, while Zhu Zhuqing could spend money to rent an alchemy room, buy materials herself, and learn through trial and error.

They chatted and exchanged alchemy experiences, with Zhu Zhuqing occasionally taking notes.

They asked each other questions, and when the activity ended, Dugu Yan walked up to Zhu Zhuqing, her eyes filled with admiration. "This is the first time I've seen such a diligent and hardworking student as you."

Some people studied diligently before, but they didn't always carry around a notebook to take notes.

Thanks to Zhu Zhuqing's example, the practice of carrying notes at all times has now taken hold in the academy.
