How Could I Not Know Whether My Martial Soul Is the Blue Silver Emperor? A Cure for People Who Won't Listen!

Seeing Qian Pingchuan look at his teacher as though he were an idiot, Tang San snapped, "My teacher is talking to you. What kind of attitude is that? Don't you know to respect your elders and teachers?"

Qian Pingchuan opened his mouth, then paused and set Yu Xiaogang aside for the moment.

Compared with Yu Xiaogang's foolishness, Qian Pingchuan wanted to know more about who Tang San had inherited his Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline from!

"Tang San, who did you inherit your Blue Silver Grass from? What was your mother's name?"

Tang San clenched his fists so tightly they nearly crushed, glaring at Qian Pingchuan without answering. Then he branded Qian Pingchuan with a label: You have a death wish! Because his mother was a sore spot for Tang San. Touch that nerve, and you had a death wish.

The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record's general principle: Once you've confirmed your opponent is an enemy, if they have a death wish, show no mercy. Otherwise, you'll only bring yourself more trouble... unless you can't beat them!

If he weren't outmatched, Tang San would have struck without hesitation long ago!

Seeing that Tang San wasn't willing to answer, Qian Pingchuan fell silent for a moment, then calmly said, "Tang San, your Blue Silver Grass isn't useless or trash! It's the sovereign among Blue Silver Grass: the Blue Silver Emperor!"

"???"

Tang San's head was full of question marks, his face still dark.

Then Qian Pingchuan's tone turned regretful. "But I don't know why you gave the Blue Silver Emperor poison attributes! It's like taking a clear spring and..."

Before he could finish, Tang San cut him off. "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! My Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is a weak Trash Martial Soul to begin with, and your Blue Silver Grass is completely different from mine! They can't be compared at all! Don't just stand there talking without feeling the pain! Hmph!"

"Uh..."

Qian Pingchuan was taken aback, then said helplessly, "Tang San, I can sense that your Blue Silver Grass and mine both carry the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline! The foundation of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline is its immense vitality! And you gave your Martial Soul a poison attribute, which is no different from burying the Blue Silver Emperor's vitality with your own hands! Your Blue Silver Grass probably won't ever be able to undergo a Second Awakening! You've strangled your Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline in its cradle! And your first Soul Skill is actually called Blue Silver Entanglement? That's so stupid I'm speechless!"

"Heh. Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline? Heh... How could I not know whether my Martial Soul has the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline? What a joke!"

Tang San looked thoroughly disdainful and shot Qian Pingchuan an irritated glance. Why was everyone else's Blue Silver Grass so powerful, while his own was a Trash Martial Soul?!

Then Tang San helped Yu Xiaogang up and asked quietly, "Teacher, are you all right?"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head and said gravely, "Xiao San, believe me! I've studied 647 people with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and every one of those Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls was a Trash Martial Soul! Besides, weak Blue Silver Grass is food for all Soul Beasts. How could it possibly grow into the Blue Silver Emperor? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"???"

Now it was Qian Pingchuan's turn to be full of question marks. Maybe take a look at whether my Martial Soul just now was the Blue Silver Emperor before saying that, huh?

"Ah... You can't reason with someone who's determined to die!"

Qian Pingchuan sighed.

If they hadn't both carried the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, and if Tang San weren't very likely his Doppelganger, not to mention Qian Pingchuan's good upbringing and years of self-discipline, he would have already branded Tang San with the words: You have a death wish!

And yet!

Qian Pingchuan didn't want to make an issue of it, but Yu Xiaogang wouldn't let up. "You! Tell me what your Martial Soul is! And what's the deal with your Soul Ring ages? Tell me, and I can give you some pointers. I guarantee your path ahead will be smoother and you'll grow even stronger!"

Hearing that, Tang San immediately thought it made sense and mocked him. "So that's it! You're comparing some powerful, unknown Martial Soul to my useless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Heh... Are you looking for a sense of superiority? Well, you picked the wrong person! With my teacher here, none of your schemes can escape his notice!"

A vein throbbed on Qian Pingchuan's forehead. He finally understood: these master and student simply couldn't hear a word anyone said!

"Phew! You really think I'm that easygoing?"

Qian Pingchuan took a deep breath. A gale rushed into his chest, and the Soul Power inside him recovered at a terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, he had recovered thirty percent!

In the next instant!

Blue Silver Emperor vines shot out! In the blink of an eye, they wove themselves into a gigantic palm, which slapped Yu Xiaogang flying before sweeping toward Tang San!

"Xiaogang!"

Flender reacted astonishingly fast, completing Martial Soul Possession in an instant as he tried to catch Yu Xiaogang.

Unfortunately, even at his top speed, Flender couldn't keep up with Yu Xiaogang's flight! Yu Xiaogang hurtled so fast that he smashed through Shrek Academy's gates without his body slowing down.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"

At the same time, Tang San used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track footwork... but failed to dodge! The Blue Silver Emperor palm clenched around him.

Tang San immediately unleashed all his Soul Power and every trick he had. But the Blue Silver Emperor's hold was as steady as a mountain! The Blue Silver Emperor was among the less resilient Plant-type Soul Beasts, but that didn't mean just anyone could break free.

Suddenly!

Just as Tang San was being held fast, a powerful wave of Soul Power came rushing from nearby.

"Who is it?" Yu Tianshu roared. In the blink of an eye, he vanished, then reappeared twenty meters away!

Boom!

Yu Tianshu kicked out, striking a gigantic hammer that had been sent flying backward!

"The Clear Sky Hammer?"

Yu Tianshu was briefly surprised, then grinned. "So you're the one the worshippers and Senior Dugu Bo told me about! Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao!"

"Dad! Save me!"

Held in Qian Pingchuan's hand, Tang San had no chance to fight back. When he saw Tang Hao appear, all he could do was call for help.

Tang Hao's face darkened as he roared at Yu Tianshu, "Move aside now! Otherwise, I'll make sure you die without a burial place!"

"Tch! You're going to make me die without a burial place? Who gave you the nerve to talk to me like that?"

Yu Tianshu roared, and blue lightning blazed across his right fist!

Boom!

Another deafening crash rang out as Yu Tianshu punched the incoming Clear Sky Hammer, sending it flying once more!

"What incredible strength!"

Tang Hao was blasted back more than ten meters, Clear Sky Hammer in hand. He was slightly astonished as he thought to himself, Someone can actually match my strength without using a Martial Soul! I've never seen anything like it! Looks like I'll have to go all out, even against a junior!

Hum, hum, hum—

Waves of Soul Power rippled through the air, the sound effect turned up to the max! Soul Rings began appearing beneath Tang Hao's feet one after another: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!

Before the nine Soul Rings could shock the people present, they had already scared Xiao Wu half to death.

"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! A red one! It's the Clear Sky Douluo! That Clear Sky Douluo!"

Someone cried out.

"What? The Clear Sky Douluo!" In the crowd, Tailong of the Strength Clan stared wide-eyed, overcome with excitement. If the situation weren't so tense, he would already have dropped to his knees and crawled over.

Boom!

Seeing Tang Hao reveal his true strength, Yu Tianshu realized that without using martial arts, he might not be able to beat Tang Hao unless he used Soul Skills! The Clear Sky Hammer's might and signature techniques were renowned even in the main world!

Then Yu Tianshu revealed his level-82 Soul Power. Beneath his feet, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red, red—eight Soul Rings appeared one after another!

"His seventh and eighth rings are both Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings! H-how is that possible?"

Tang Hao's movements faltered, disbelief written all over his face. Hesitating to attack at once, he now seemed rather fierce in appearance but weak in reality.

At that moment, everyone from Shrek and the onlookers around them were also stunned by Yu Tianshu's Soul Ring Configuration.

"Roar!"

Before long, a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon appeared behind Yu Tianshu, its roar resounding through the sky.

"B-Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"

Liu Erlong was utterly bewildered. Why was he a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

"H-how is this possible? He's actually one of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's..."

Not far away, Yu Xiaogang—whom Flender had just rescued—stood frozen, blood still at the corner of his mouth.

Why did everyone keep defying his theories? How dare they? The only optimal Soul Ring Configuration was yellow, yellow, purple, purple!

As he thought about it, Yu Xiaogang suddenly brightened, his eyes flashing.

Yu Xiaogang shouted up at the sky, "Quick! Tell me the secret of how you can absorb Soul Rings beyond their age limits! I'll have the clan leader reward you with a thousand-year... no! A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone! I'll compile the secret of absorbing Soul Rings beyond their age limits and make it available to every Soul Master on the continent!"

From now on, my name will truly go down in history. The whole continent will acknowledge that I'm the real Grandmaster! I, Yu Xiaogang, was never a useless nobody!

Yu Xiaogang kept those last few words to himself.

Out of the corner of his eye, Yu Tianshu spotted Yu Xiaogang on the ground. He felt disgusted, but didn't go after him right away. His opponent at the moment was Tang Hao.

Meanwhile, Tang Hao had fallen silent for several seconds, stunned by Yu Tianshu's Soul Ring Configuration. Seeing that his son was being held but wasn't in any immediate danger, he asked, "Who are you people? Let my son go first!"

At that, Yu Tianshu looked toward Qian Pingchuan, waiting for instructions from the Third Prince.

Qian Pingchuan's right hand tightened slightly, and the enormous Blue Silver Emperor palm tightened along with it.

"Ugh!"

Tang San grunted.

Qian Pingchuan sounded slightly annoyed as he asked, "Tang San, do you think a strong person needs to seek a sense of superiority over someone weak? Look me in the eyes and answer me! LookMyEyes!"

Though Qian Pingchuan had no idea what "LookMyEyes" meant, his second royal brother had been mischievous from childhood. Whenever their father got exasperated with him, he would say that to his second brother, and it always sounded especially earth-shaking.

Tang San's face flushed red with fury. Though a thousand grievances churned in his heart, he still said, "N-no... they don't!"

With his life in someone else's hands, Tang San swallowed his anger and outwardly submitted, but thought to himself, A gentleman's revenge can wait ten years! Once I've grown strong enough and reached the Title Douluo realm by cultivating my Second Martial Soul, I'll make you pay for this humiliation!

"Can you listen properly now?" Qian Pingchuan took a deep breath. His anger gradually faded, and he calmly continued, "I said your Martial Soul isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass, so it isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass! You were born frail, with insufficient energy from birth, so your Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul never fully awakened. But in your cultivation, you not only ignored the Blue Silver Emperor's vitality, you also added a poison attribute to your Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul. Everything you've done has nearly cut off any chance of a Second Awakening for the Blue Silver Emperor! It's no different from drinking poison to quench your thirst!"

With that, Qian Pingchuan looked toward Tang Hao in the air and asked, "I'm right, aren't I, Clear Sky Douluo? You know better than anyone whether Tang San's Martial Soul is the Blue Silver Emperor, don't you? And who his mother is?"

Tang Hao stood some distance away, frowning in silence.

However! When Tang San saw Tang Hao remain silent without refuting him, his heart gave an extra beat. Whether his Blue Silver Grass was a useless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul or the powerful Blue Silver Emperor seemed... suddenly uncertain!

But how could that be?

His teacher, so learned, had said his Blue Silver Grass was an utterly ordinary Trash Martial Soul! How could it possibly be a Blue Silver Emperor that could battle the Golden Sacred Dragon?
