The Reveal, Tang San's Martial Soul

Just as Chu Mo was feeling awkward and unsure how to explain himself, a message interrupted everyone's excitement.

[Soul Guidance Devices are Evil: [Image] (Tang Ya is lying on the bed, her hair draped loosely over her chest, her long legs clutching a soft pillow. She looks very alluring, her beautiful phoenix eyes staring at the screen, seemingly curious about how the photo was taken.)]

The other girls were also immediately drawn to the image.

If one were to ask why beauties would be attracted to a picture of another girl, it was obviously to see if this person was better looking than themselves!

"Not bad, she really is a lively young girl."

Chu Mo zoomed in on the image to inspect the details; her melon-shaped face had a slight flush, as if she were shy—she was quite beautiful.

Before he could look any closer, someone started sending messages.

[Grilled Fish Girl: Sister Tang Ya is so pretty!]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Tsk, she's alright, but she's still a bit worse than this young lady.]

[Dong'er is Not a Girl: ...]

[Revenge Girl: ...]

[Chu Mo: The tsundere girl trope is already outdated.]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Group Leader! Do you need me to transfer some money?]

[Chu Mo: Haha, those 10 Gold Soul Coins are enough for my travel expenses. I am currently on my way to Shrek City to take a look at that number one academy.]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Heh, alright then. But can I ask how this chat actually works? Why have I never heard of it, and there isn't even a shred of energy fluctuation? It's like it appeared out of thin air.]

Seeing this question, Chu Mo froze. How was he supposed to answer? Should he say he was a transmigrator and this was his built-in cheat?

[Chu Mo: I will tell you all when the time is right, but not now. However, this is definitely to your benefit and has no drawbacks. For example, this camera function can identify certain items, helping you pick up treasures at auction houses or small stalls.]

[Grilled Fish Girl: Really?]

The first to respond was Huo Yu'er. She was the most strapped for cash and was still thinking about setting up a stall to sell grilled fish after joining Shrek Academy. Upon hearing about this function, her eyes lit up instantly—brighter than when she activated her Martial Soul!

[Soul Guidance Devices are Evil: Then how can you still be so poor?]

This kind of thing could be considered a miracle. Tang Ya was inclined to believe what Chu Mo said, but she was still a bit worried that the other party might be swindling her newly initiated junior sister, so she responded subconsciously.

[Chu Mo: Nonsense, of course I have to hide my light. If I showed off something like this without the means to protect myself, wouldn't I be afraid of being snatched away by others to be used as a treasure-seeking rat?]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Oh, that makes sense, but you're right.]

[Dong'er is Not a Girl: Picking up leaks is so troublesome! Group Leader brother, if you beg me, I'll transfer 20,000 Gold Soul Coins to you right now.]

Sitting in the carriage, the corner of Chu Mo's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected Wang Dong'er to actually want him to beg her.

["Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog sent a Red Packet to Chu Mo!"]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Heh, if Group Leader brother needs money, why beg others? Meng will keep you!]

Seeing the new message, Chu Mo's eyelids began to twitch. Should he claim it or not? Why did it feel a bit like trading his dignity for money?!

Inside her bedroom, Meng Hongchen was lying on her bed, gently swinging her lower legs and even humming a tune. She looked extremely happy.

She wasn't a fool; she wasn't sending money because she had too much to burn, but simply because she wanted to get on Chu Mo's good side.

With such a magical thing appearing and the other party showing no nervousness—plus the fact that he was the Group Leader—the group rules clearly stated that the Group Leader was supreme, followed by administrators, active members, and regular members. This was enough to prove it was his.

Such a magical thing, if not a mental hallucination, could only be a divine miracle!

Therefore, no matter what, Meng Hongchen felt there was no harm in befriending him. If he happened to be good-looking, she wouldn't mind making a move herself.

After all, Meng Hongchen believed that no one in her academy was worthy of her. If there were anyone truly worthy, it would probably only be the geniuses of Shrek.

But it couldn't just be a genius; they had to be handsome, too. Meng Hongchen was a top-tier face-con, otherwise, she wouldn't have taken a liking to Wang Dong'er, who was disguised as a boy.

[Chu Mo: Haha, no thanks. I'm sure I can earn plenty by picking up a few more leaks before joining the academy. No need to keep me.]

[Revenge Girl: You have ambition!]

[Revenge Girl: I also want to see that so-called number one academy on the continent that even produced a god. Group Leader, can you record a video when you arrive?]

Seeing this, Chu Mo fell into deep thought. Did the academy really help Tang San that much?

Hunting for Spirit Rings certainly counted, but with Tang Hao around, it wasn't really much of a favor—it was just a change of personnel. Making friends should count, though.

[Chu Mo: Recording a video is fine, but saying this academy produced a god... that doesn't seem quite right.]

[Revenge Girl: ?]

[Soul Guidance Devices are Evil: ?]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: ?]

[Dong'er is Not a Girl: ?]

[Grilled Fish Girl: ?]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Group Leader, how is that not right? Even in the Sun Moon Empire, I hear about Shrek Academy every day. It's the academy that produced a god. If my status weren't so sensitive, I'd want to go see it myself.]

[Chu Mo: With Tang San's talent, anyone who trained him would have produced a god. Blue Silver Emperor, Clear Sky Hammer, Twin Martial Souls, plus an External Spirit Bone that can devour, and he ate at least three Immortal Herbs.]

[Soul Guidance Devices are Evil: No, no, wait!]

[Chu Mo: What's wrong? Did I say something incorrect?]

Chu Mo was slightly puzzled when he was interrupted just as he was about to type the second message. It seemed he hadn't even started on the conspiracy theories yet; how could Tang Ya, the sect master of the Tang Sect, be so anxious over a simple explanation?

He tapped lightly on the carriage window and leaned back to wait. Since he was bored anyway, he might as well provide an answer to boost their activity and enthusiasm, which would allow the group chat to level up.

Of course, there was another more direct method, which was to simply pay-to-win!

But his pockets were emptier than his face, so he decided to forget about that.

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: The group leader is typing a message, why are you cutting in?]

Meng Hongchen seemed to still be bothered by Tang Ya's nickname in the group and, feeling somewhat displeased, spoke up to retort. However, for once, Tang Ya didn't argue back, choosing instead to ask Chu Mo.

[Soul Guidance Devices are Evil: Wasn't the martial soul of the ancestor Tang San just Blue Silver Grass? Even if he managed to upgrade it to Blue Silver Emperor through hard work later on, wouldn't it still be Blue Silver Grass?]

Seeing this question, Chu Mo burst out laughing.

Even if it was called Blue Silver Grass at the beginning, the person possessed the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor, and after awakening that bloodline, it could serve as both an offensive and support type.

[Chu Mo: Your Tang Sect should have records of it. The one who led Tang San and the others to secure the first winning piece of the puzzle was that Poison Douluo named Dugu Bo.]

[Soul Guidance Devices are Evil: There are records, but those he poisoned were all villains from Martial Soul Hall who deserved to die. I don't think there was anything wrong with that.]

[Chu Mo: Heh, let's set that matter aside for now. But before that, when Dugu Bo and Tang San first met, he said something to him: the necessary condition for Twin Martial Souls is that the quality of the martial souls must be the same. Either both are trash martial souls, or both are powerful martial souls. If one is weak and one is strong, the strong will devour the weak, making coexistence impossible.]

[Soul Guidance Devices are Evil: What does that mean?]

[Ice Frog is Stronger than Poison Frog: Are you an idiot? What Group Leader brother is saying is that Twin Martial Souls must be of equal quality. Therefore, the Blue Silver Grass that matches the Clear Sky Hammer could never be ordinary Blue Silver Grass.]

Wang Dong'er:
