"Maybe those rewards could even help you with your cultivation in other ways."
Su Yun heard this and immediately clapped his little hands excitedly.
At the same time, tears of gratitude welled up in his heart.
Wonderful.
System, you really are on my side after all.
Su Yun secretly made up his mind.
He would work hard at cultivating and try to break through level one hundred as soon as possible.
Then he'd make Ah Yin his!
After Ah Yin came clean to Su Yun about the system, she began guiding him in his cultivation that very day.
"Little Su Yun, since you want to learn about the Blue Silver Emperor, let me ask you something."
"Do you know what the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul in your hands represents?"
Inside the bedroom.
Ah Yin's faint, pale-blue figure sat at the bedside.
Su Yun sat cross-legged on the bed, his back straight.
As someone who had read the original story, Su Yun of course knew what the Blue Silver Emperor represented.
The Blue Silver Emperor.
The emperor of Blue Silver Grass.
For ordinary Blue Silver Grass to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor—
It would take the bloodline of a previous-generation Blue Silver Emperor, like Tang San had, to support a direct evolution.
Otherwise, it would have to be like that Blue Silver King, cultivating for a full hundred thousand years.
And it would also have to wait for the previous-generation Blue Silver Emperor to die before it had a chance to become the Blue Silver Emperor.
However, although Su Yun knew quite a bit about the Blue Silver Emperor, he also understood one thing.
Compared to Ah Yin, the real Blue Silver Emperor, he still had a lot to learn.
So he gave a slight shake of his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
Ah Yin smiled gently.
At Su Yun's age, it was perfectly normal for him not to understand his Martial Soul very well.
Otherwise, why would he need her guidance?
"Then I'll explain the difference between Blue Silver Grass and the Blue Silver Emperor."
"Make sure you listen carefully."
"As everyone knows,"
"whether in the Soul Master system of human society or the hierarchy of strength among Soul Beasts,"
"our Blue Silver Grass is considered one of the lowest forms of life."
"Blue Silver Grass is weak, has little Soul Power, and is almost completely incapable of attacking. It's also extremely difficult to cultivate Soul Power."
"It's often eaten by Soul Beasts, too. That's nothing unusual."
"And most Soul Masters with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul have an Innate Soul Power below level one."
"This makes it difficult for them to make progress in cultivating their Soul Power Level, and as a result, they can't effectively develop Blue Silver Grass's traits."
"But!"
"The Blue Silver Emperor in your hands is different."
Ah Yin pointed at Su Yun's left palm.
A tiny sprig of Blue Silver Grass rested there, traced with golden lines.
If it were placed beside ordinary Blue Silver Grass, the difference between them would be immediately obvious.
"The Blue Silver Emperor is the emperor of Blue Silver Grass."
"The difference in status between Blue Silver Grass and the Blue Silver Emperor is like the difference between the common people and the emperors of the two great empires."
"The gap between them is as vast as the heavens and earth."
"Almost impossible to cross."
"Sister Yin, so you mean my Martial Soul is more advanced than that fake Tang San's?"
Su Yun asked at just the right moment.
"Of course."
The corners of Ah Yin's mouth lifted slightly.
"Although that fake Tang San has my bloodline, the Martial Soul he awakened is only a little higher in quality than ordinary Blue Silver Grass."
"And don't worry. Without my permission, his Blue Silver Grass will never truly evolve."
"If one day you fight him, and your Soul Power Levels are the same,"
"just release your Martial Soul. With the Blue Silver Emperor's aura, you'll be able to suppress that bastard's fighting strength by at least thirty percent!"
Hearing that he could suppress Tang San, Su Yun's eyes lit up. He immediately clapped his hands happily.
Wasn't this exactly what he'd always wanted to do?
He could trounce Tang San just by relying on the quality of his Martial Soul.
Just imagining the scene made him excited.
"All right, that's enough about the difference between Blue Silver Grass and the Blue Silver Emperor."
"Now I'm going to tell you about Blue Silver Grass's strengths."
A note of seriousness entered Ah Yin's gentle voice.
Su Yun also focused his attention.
"Blue Silver Grass has weak vitality on its own and no offensive power."
"But it does have one great advantage: its sheer numbers."
"Whether in forests or human settlements, Blue Silver Grass can be found almost everywhere."
"This shows that Blue Silver Grass is highly adaptable."
"Resilient, tenacious, and inclusive..."
"These traits also point to the fundamental difference between Blue Silver Grass and other Martial Souls."
"Especially its inclusiveness."
"It's like a lump of mud on the ground. Use different techniques, different amounts of force, or different quantities of water, and you can change its shape."
"In fact, most Plant-type Martial Souls have this trait."
"But Blue Silver Grass takes it to the extreme. It has nothing of its own, which means it can absorb almost anything that comes from outside."
"For an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, whatever Soul Ring you give it determines what it becomes."
"But you, Little Su Yun..."
Ah Yin's voice rose slightly.
She looked at Su Yun thoughtfully.
"Your Martial Soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, an even more extreme form of Blue Silver Grass."
"The Blue Silver Emperor's greatest strength lies in how it brings Blue Silver Grass's innate life force to its absolute peak."
"Among all Martial Souls and Soul Beasts, if the Blue Silver Emperor isn't considered second to none, no one would ever dare claim the top spot."
"So, what do you think you should do to evolve the Blue Silver Emperor in your hands?"
Ah Yin blinked and gazed gently at Su Yun.
After listening to Ah Yin's explanation, Su Yun immediately understood.
Blue Silver Grass was the easiest Martial Soul to evolve.
You could say that it evolved into whatever kind of Martial Soul its Soul Ring allowed it to become.
Take Tang San's Blue Silver Grass in the original story, for example.
After Tang San absorbed the Datura Snake's Soul Ring, his Blue Silver Grass immediately changed from grass into vines.
Had its flexibility improved?
