Dark Blue Silver Grass
After spending some time with the Soul Beast, Chen Yuan Gong Changlong said goodbye and returned to his dormitory to clean. Bei Bei was fusing Soul Bone, and Xu Sanshi had not yet emerged from seclusion.
Chen Yuan was the only one responsible for cleaning the dormitory.
But when Chen Yuan returned to the dormitory, he found that Bei Bei had already returned and started cleaning.
"Bei Bei, weren't you fusing Soul Bone? You finished so quickly?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that Soul Bone to fuse so quickly. Didn't you say you were going back to the dorm to clean? Where did you go?"
"I spent some time with Elder Gong Elder Gong the Beast Fighting Arena. He's currently artificially breeding Soul Beast. If he allows, I'll take you there to see him next time."
"Great, I'm quite curious about how Soul Beast are artificially cultivated."
"Bei Bei, you should have gone to see Tang Ya by now, right? After all, you've been gone for so long."
Judging by the timeline, Tang Ya should have submitted her withdrawal application long ago.
A year ago, Tang Ya was just a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master who had just broken through to the Soul Elder, but a year later, Tang Ya had already reached the fourth ring cultivation level.
Tang Ya would never dare to expose this abnormal cultivation speed, otherwise Shrek Academy would investigate, and once the academy intervened, the fact that Tang Ya's martial soul had become Dark Blue Silver Grass would definitely be discovered.
Fortunately, so far, although Tang Ya has activated the devouring talent inherent in her Blue Silver Grass, she has only absorbed some ordinary plants for cultivation.
At present, Tang Ya can only be considered Dark Attribute Soul Master. After she absorbs the life force of people, she will become a true Evil Soul Master.
But Shrek doesn't care about any of that. As long as Tang Ya is exposed, her martial soul will definitely be destroyed by Shrek.
Not wanting to be discovered by Shrek to possess the talent of devouring, not wanting to be labeled Evil Soul Master, and wanting to grasp at this hope of revenge—this is probably one of the reasons why Tang Ya suddenly wanted to drop out of Shrek Academy.
Chen Yuan and Tang Ya didn't have much interaction; they mainly got to know each other because of Bei Bei.
But Chen Yuan couldn't just stand by and watch Tang Ya fall into becoming Evil Soul Master. After all, she was his good friend's girlfriend. He couldn't just watch his good friend suffer for the next few years without doing anything.
Chen Yuan felt somewhat guilty.
If it's possible to save him, Chen Yuan is still willing to do so.
The person who could take Tang Ya away from Heaven Dou City must at least be a Evil Soul Master Evil Soul Master the Soul Douluo level, and one who is conscious and hasn't gone mad.
The actual combat strength must be estimated on a large scale.
The best solution would be to let Tang Ya stay at the Shrek Academy for a while longer, but Tang Ya will most likely not accept that.
At present, it can only delay things for a while. After Chen Yuan's strength improves a bit more, Bei Bei will take Tang Ya to Heaven Dou City to deal with the Iron Blood Sect after reaching the fifth ring.
In Heaven Dou City, a once-powerful sect was wiped out by an unknown small sect. This small sect did not suffer any retaliation afterward and simply took over the territory without any repercussions.
Chen Yuan didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on behind this.
Especially the Heaven Soul Imperial Family, they were most likely involved in this matter; their silence was tantamount to tacit approval.
The Xue Family, which existed ten thousand years ago, is now the royal family of the Dou Ling Empire, while the Tang Sect was founded by Tang San, the Blue Haowang, and has intricate connections with the current Spirit Dou Imperial Family.
It's understandable that the Heaven Soul Imperial Family wants to get rid of this down-on-his-luck individual.
When Bei Bei heard Chen Yuan mention Tang Ya, she paused, and her tone and expression became extremely desolate.
"What's wrong? Did something happen between you and Tang Ya? If it's convenient, please tell me."
"There's nothing inconvenient about it; it's perfect that you can give me some advice."
"Xiao Ya suddenly wants to drop out of school and return to Heaven Dou City, saying she wants to do her part for the revival of the Tang Sect."
"But Heaven Dou City is a dangerous place. People leave and are forgotten Iron Blood Sect, and those old enemies of the Tang Sect —who knows what might happen to Xiao Ya?"
"I was afraid she would encounter danger if she returned to Heaven Dou City, but she seemed to have made up her mind."
Bei Bei sat nervously on the edge of the bed. He had gone to see Tang Ya that afternoon and heard that Tang Ya wanted to drop out of school and return to Heaven Dou City, which threw him into turmoil.
Chen Yuan lowered his head in thought, pondering how to protect his good friend's future happiness.
Tang Ya was probably not part of Great God King Tang's scheme; at most, she was only part of it when he initially brought Huo Yuhao into the Tang Sect.
Aside from that one benefit, an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Soul Master isn't really worth Tang San scheming over.
Speaking of which, Bei Bei is really pitiful. His seven, eight, and nine Soul Ring are all 20,000 years old, and his wife was captured by the Holy Spirit Cult for so long.
On one hand, he was busy reviving the Tang Sect, and on the other hand, he was busy searching for Tang Ya. After finding her, he was beaten up, and it was only with great difficulty that Tang Ya was able to return to normal.
"Alright, it's not too late yet. Call Tang Ya out. If you two don't have a proper talk and resolve your issues, you'll probably be in this state of anxiety and uncertainty all the time."
Although Shrek Academy has a rule that boys are not allowed to enter Female Dormitory, as long as the girls don't report it, it's actually not a big deal if you go in.
At least Bei Bei often sneaks into Tang Ya's dormitory to be affectionate with Tang Ya, which makes Xu Sanshi so envious he's almost furious.
There's no other reason than that Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan are roommates, Xu Sanshi envies Bei Bei for being able to enter Jiang Nannan's dormitory, even though Bei Bei was actually going to see Tang Ya.
Bei Bei went to find Tang Ya, Chen Yuan was waiting at the entrance of the dormitory building. After a short while, Bei Bei came down with Tang Ya.
As soon as Tang Ya approached, Chen Yuan sensed a dark energy.
As expected, Chen Yuan's guess was correct. At this time, Tang Ya had already activated her Devouring Talent, and her Martial Soul had transformed into the Dark Blue Silver Grass with the Dark Attribute.
Upon seeing Chen Yuan, Tang Ya felt her Soul Power freeze instantly, her martial soul constantly concealing itself, as if Chen Yuan were some kind of monstrous beast.
Looking into Chen Yuan's eyes, Tang Ya felt as if she had no secrets from him whatsoever.
Tang Ya, feeling completely lost, followed Chen Yuan and Bei Bei to a small grove of trees by the Sea God Lake. At this time of day, no one usually came here, making it a good place to talk about secrets.
"Tang Ya, is there something wrong with your martial soul?"
"What? Xiao Ya! Is what Chen Yuan said true? Is there really a problem with your martial spirit? Why didn't you tell me something so important?"
Bei Bei grabbed Tang Ya's shoulder. Seeing that Tang Ya avoided him and dared not look him in the eye, Bei Bei knew that what Chen Yuan said was true, and that Tang Ya's martial soul really had a problem.
Bei Bei gritted her teeth and pulled Tang Ya to find Mu En. If Tang Ya's martial soul had a problem, Bei Bei felt that Mu En was the most likely person in the world to solve it.
As for how it will ultimately be resolved, that's none of your business.
But no matter what Bei Bei did, Tang Ya stood there motionless. Bei Bei was afraid of hurting Tang Ya, so she didn't dare to use too much force.
"Bei Bei, what I meant by 'the problem with the martial soul' isn't what you think."
Chen Yuan knew from Bei Bei's anxious expression that he must think Tang Ya's martial soul had broken down. This kind of problem usually only occurs when a weak martial soul is hit by a powerful Soul Power.
The reason given for the delayed report was Huo Yuhao's trip to the Far North.
"Tang Ya, should you tell me yourself, or should I tell Bei Bei? He's not only your Tang Sect's top disciple, but also your boyfriend. He has the right to know the truth."
"He's also my good friend and brother. If you don't tell me now, I'll tell Bei Bei when I get back."
"No! -- I'll talk, I'll talk!"
After activating her Devouring Talent, Tang Ya was already terrified, fearing that one day she would be discovered by the other students at the Shrek Academy and treated as Evil Soul Master.
In that case, it's hard to say what others will say, but Bei Bei will definitely be implicated. And what about the Tang Sect, whose situation has only recently improved? If others knew that the Tang Sect's leader had become an Evil Soul Master, how would they view the Tang Sect?
Four Soul Ring, one yellow and one purple, gradually appeared on Tang Ya's body. At the same time, a black grass appeared in Tang Ya's hand.
The plant still retained many characteristics of Blue Silver Grass, but its color had turned black, and it was much thinner, like a vine.
If Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass still exuded a sense of plant vitality before, now, the aura emanating from this Dark Blue Silver Grass is completely unrelated to vitality.
Seeing the four Soul Ring on Tang Ya's body, Bei Bei was extremely surprised. Tang Ya's third Soul Ring was obtained by him when he went hunting a year ago, and it was at that time that they met Huo Yuhao.
Bei Bei knew Tang Ya's talent all too well, but in just one year, Tang Ya actually advanced from Soul Elder to Soul Ancestor, and even obtained Soul Ring without his knowledge.
This situation is clearly abnormal.
Seeing the drastically changed Blue Silver Grass in Tang Ya's hand, Bei Bei was certain of this.
Tang Ya lowered her head, not daring to look into Bei Bei's eyes, afraid of seeing disappointment or hatred in Bei Bei's eyes.
But Bei Bei suddenly hugged Tang Ya tightly, as if she wanted to meld Tang Ya into her own body.
"Bei Bei?"
"Xiao Ya, no matter what, even if you become Evil Soul Master, I will find a way to restore you to normal!"
"Ahem, if you two want to be all lovey-dovey, please wait until no one's around, okay? I'm a grown man right here."
Bei Bei and Tang Ya were kissing and hugging, while Chen Yuan carefully sensed Tang Ya's Dark Blue Silver Grass. This was the first time Chen Yuan had observed Evil Martial Soul so meticulously.
The Dark Blue Silver Grass was held in Chen Yuan's hand. The Blue Silver Grass instinctively wanted to leave Chen Yuan's palm, as if touching Chen Yuan made it very uncomfortable.
What's the deal with your Blue Silver Grass?
"Devour, an innate ability I've had since Martial Soul Awakening. I activated it recently, and that's how the Blue Silver Grass turned into this."
Although Chen Yuan already knew this was the case, he still had to ask, otherwise it wouldn't make sense how Chen Yuan knew.
Talent abilities are something that only high-level martial souls possess, and even some top-tier martial souls may not have them.
It seems the corrupted version of Blue Silver Grass is of a high quality.
"Chen Yuan, have you figured anything out? How is Xiao Ya doing now? Are there any hidden dangers?"
"I'm not a professional martial spirit scholar. If you keep bothering me like this, just come and see for yourself."
Chen Yuan scolded Bei Bei irritably, saying that he wasn't a scholar like Wang Yan, and could only explain everything based on his understanding of the world.
Bei Bei wasn't annoyed. If it weren't for Chen Yuan, Tang Ya probably wouldn't have told him about this. Besides, this matter couldn't be told to others, since Chen Yuan had the best theoretical grades among them.
They could only hope that Chen Yuan would figure something out, otherwise Bei Bei would really take Tang Ya to find Mu En, and they were afraid that Mu En would start with a Dragon Emperor Break Evil Crack.
Bei Bei hasn't forgotten how her parents died, Mu En certainly hasn't either. If Tang Ya is Evil Soul Master, their relationship will only be more difficult.
Chen Yuan observed the Dark Blue Silver Grass for a while and found that the situation was roughly as he had expected.
"Dark Attribute, thankfully, you shouldn't be considered Evil Soul Master yet."
In fact, Chen Yuan had always been quite puzzled by the concept of Evil Soul Master, feeling that it would be more appropriate to refer to those people as the Fallen One from ten thousand years ago.
The Holy Spirit Cult's martial spirit is the Scorpion Tiger; he was completely forced into becoming Evil Soul Master.
Having Dark Attribute in one's martial soul only means that the person has a higher probability of falling into depravity, not that they will definitely fall into depravity.
"Try to use your Devouring talent sparingly. Also, never absorb the life force of animals, or you will definitely fall into depravity."
"I suggest that after you've completed your revenge, you find one of Bei Bei's elders to destroy the dark side of your martial soul."
"That way you might never break through to the Soul Saint in your lifetime, but at least you won't have to worry about falling into evil."
Tang Ya's martial soul is more prone to corruption than ordinary Dark Martial Soul because of her devouring talent; otherwise, she wouldn't have become the Blue Silver Saintess of the Holy Spirit Cult in the future.
He certainly wouldn't become Soul Saint five years later during the Continental Elite Soul Dueling Tournament.
It's important to understand that becoming Soul Emperor before the age of twenty is already considered a remarkable achievement in the eyes of the world. However, five years later, in that cohort, there were four Soul Saint who reached the age of twenty.
One of them is Tang Ya, who has completely fallen into evil. Her Devouring Talent played a significant role in this. Otherwise, even if Evil Soul Master's cultivation speed is extremely fast, it would be impossible to advance from the fourth ring to the seventh ring in five years.
Chen Yuan turned to look at Bei Bei. At the moment, they did not know Mu En's attitude towards Tang Ya's Dark Blue Silver Grass. Whether or not to tell Mu En was a decision for Bei Bei and Tang Ya.
After weighing the pros and cons, Bei Bei decided that she should tell Mu En. If she kept such a big thing a secret, Mu En would probably hang her up and beat her up when he found out.
