Douluo: Martial Soul Ah Yin, Exposing Tang San's True Colors

"Both you and Su Yun have Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power as your first martial soul."

"Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a significant difference in your cultivation speeds."

"But last night, you could clearly feel a difference in the flow of soul power."

"This suggests that the problem most likely lies with Su Yun's second martial soul."

"However, your second martial soul is..."

Yu Xiaogang was about to say the words "Clear Sky Hammer," but he held them back.

After all, Tang San still knew nothing about the Clear Sky Hammer, and since his parents hadn't told him about it, it wouldn't be right for him to overstep.

However, Yu Xiaogang was well aware of the power of the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Clear Sky Hammer, the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world!

In terms of martial soul quality, who could possibly surpass it?

Yet, it was being suppressed in cultivation speed by someone else.

Could Su Yun's second martial soul be a top-tier support-type martial soul?

Yu Xiaogang had his suspicions.

But he was also puzzled.

Many top-tier support-type martial souls flashed through his mind.

Yet, he had absolutely no data regarding their effects on soul power cultivation.

"Or perhaps, what Su Yun awakened is an entirely new martial soul?!"

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up.

Suddenly, he became excited.

If Su Yun had truly awakened a brand-new martial soul, and he had become Su Yun's teacher.

Then he would become the first person on the Douluo Continent to discover a new martial soul!

This would be a unique honor!

Before long.

The carriage arrived outside the Soul Hunting Forest.

The two stepped out of the carriage.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, then turned to look at the Soul Hunting Forest before them, saying earnestly:

"Tang San, for the next year, I will cultivate you with all my might. You must win the competition one year from now."

Seeing his teacher's tone suddenly become serious, Tang San felt a stir.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the scene from last night where Su Yun and Xiao Wu slept together under the quilt his teacher had gifted him.

An inexplicable sense of humiliation suddenly arose in his heart.

Immediately.

A fighting spirit surged fiercely within him.

Tang San clenched his fists tightly and nodded heavily.

"Yes! Teacher!"

Su Yun was unaware of the conversation between Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

He only knew in his heart that Tang San was currently hunting for his first soul ring.

Su Yun, naturally, was not idle either.

Ever since the opening ceremony, he had been studying his spear techniques and leg techniques in the back mountains of the academy day and night.

Aside from necessary classes and the work arranged by the academy, Su Yun poured all his time into the practice of martial arts.

The phrase "forgetting to eat and sleep" was the most fitting description for Su Yun at this moment.

Even Ah Yin felt a pang of heartache watching this six-year-old boy training so crazily every day.

If it weren't for the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, which allowed him to use the surrounding Blue Silver Grass to recover his stamina and heal the injuries in his body.

With a body of Su Yun's age, practicing so recklessly.

He probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed from the pain after just a few days.

There was no other way.

Compared to Tang San, Su Yun's physical fitness was a full five or six years behind.

If the two were to compete.

Even without using soul power, Tang San could easily defeat Su Yun.

Fortunately, Su Yun was still young, only six years old.

His body had not yet fully developed.

This was the perfect time for diligence to make up for any shortcomings.

Su Yun was actually very clear about his current situation.

Ah Yin's system had not granted him any heaven-defying abilities.

It had merely provided him with a ladder.

If he wanted to go further on his path as a soul master, he had to climb this ladder step by step.

Furthermore.

He had to carry one point through to the very end.

This point was also of the utmost importance!

And that was—diligence!

Looking back at the entire history of the Douluo Continent.

There was not a single person who achieved the rank of Title Douluo who did not possess both talent and diligence.

When talent was equal, the level of a soul master's diligence often determined their lower limit.

And it was precisely because Su Yun knew how powerful his martial soul talent was that he understood he absolutely could not waste it.

Just as he had thought to himself that day inside the Martial Soul Hall at Holy Soul Village.

In his previous life, coming from an ordinary family, he could only be an ordinary person.

In this life, he naturally wanted to live differently, free and unconstrained.

And the most powerful support for realizing his wishes was the strength in his hands.

On the Douluo Continent, strength was respected at all times!

Without strength, one would only end up in a situation where their beloved had to sacrifice themselves.

It had been some time since Tang San returned from obtaining his first soul ring.

Aside from seeing each other every day in class—where they would sleep or look up—Su Yun and Tang San had very little interaction.

Whenever Tang San had time, he would go to the blacksmith shop or seek out Yu Xiaogang.

As for Su Yun, he would run to the back mountain whenever he had a spare moment.

Sometimes, he would also find Xiao Wu for a brief spar.

Of course, every time it ended with him being pinned under Xiao Wu, shouting "I surrender" at the top of his lungs to admit defeat.

However, Su Yun did not feel ashamed.

Xiao Wu's close-quarters combat ability was beyond doubt.

Even someone like Tang San.

Someone who had lived for over thirty years combined across two lifetimes and possessed immense talent in the cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

Sometimes he was no match for Xiao Wu, let alone someone like him who had only just begun to cultivate.

Besides, sooner or later, he would make Xiao Wu scream too.

There were ten days left until the side quest ended.

Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

Back mountain.

In the forest, the sound of rustling leaves echoed from time to time.
