Master Yu considered himself the continent's foremost theory master, yet the first time he took a disciple out to hunt a Soul Ring, things had turned out so embarrassingly. Where was he supposed to put his dignity?

Having Tang San absorb this Soul Ring that was barely over a hundred years old was also, in a sense, a "compliance test" Master Yu had arranged for him.

"Xiao San!"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly raised his voice, and an involuntary note of lecturing entered his tone. "I taught you from the very beginning that the age of a Soul Ring is merely superficial. The most crucial factor is whether it suits a Soul Master's Martial Soul!

What, do you even dare question your teacher's words?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang speak with such righteous conviction, the faint doubt that had just arisen in Tang San's heart was instantly crushed by a powerful wave of guilt.

I'm truly awful! Teacher lost an arm for me, barely crawled back from death's door, and all he can think about is how to plan the most perfect future for me.

And I actually doubted a benefactor who would even give up his life for his disciple?!

Teacher must be right!

Having completed his logical loop and thoroughly talked himself into it, Tang San's gaze became incomparably firm once more.

He no longer hesitated. He directly sat cross-legged before the pale yellow Tyrant Flower Soul Ring, closed his eyes, and wholeheartedly drew it onto himself, beginning to absorb his perfectly compatible first Soul Ring.

What's going on?

Didn't Teacher say absorbing a Soul Ring was like passing through death's gate, accompanied by heart-rending pain?

Tang San frowned slightly, his heart filled with confusion.

The moment the energy within the Tyrant Flower Soul Ring entered his body, it was like a docile sheep meeting its master, slipping into his meridians without the slightest resistance.

Aside from a faint swelling pain at the very beginning, a gentle force from deep within his body swiftly smoothed it away. The entire process was unbelievably seamless.

Ecstatic joy instantly filled Tang San's heart!

Although he still knew little about the Soul Master system in this life, based on his previous life's experience cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he understood a basic principle.

The easier it was to refine external energy, excluding the possibility that the energy itself was simply trash, only one truth remained.

This energy was simply a match made in heaven with him!

At that thought, Tang San was so excited that even his fingertips trembled. He felt that he had taken another huge step toward the path of becoming a true powerhouse!

Before long, a somewhat dim yellow ring slowly emerged beneath his feet.

"Teacher, I feel terrifyingly strong right now!"

Tang San abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze blazing.

The instant the Soul Ring settled into place, he clearly felt the invisible shackles that had troubled him for so long shatter with a thunderous crash!

The Mysterious Heaven Skill he had longed to advance had finally broken through its current bottleneck and reached the next level!

"Mm, Xiao San, show me your Soul Skill."

Yu Xiaogang stood with one hand behind his back, his tone calm and composed. In reality, he was panicking like crazy.

Tang San's identity was not difficult to guess. With the existence of the Clear Sky Hammer as his second Martial Soul, it meant Tang San had to be an outcast descendant of the Clear Sky Sect.

Those Tang Clan people were fiercely protective of their own.

If he had really made Tang San absorb a ten-year Soul Ring just now, who knew what kind of retaliation he would face in the future.

This hundred-year Soul Ring, however, was just right.

As for Tang San proving his Invincible Theory, he could start doing that once Tang San reached level twenty.

In short, everything was still under control.

Hearing Master Yu's instruction, Tang San nodded happily.

The intuitive clarity that came after his breakthrough made him eager to see what heaven-defying divine skill he had obtained.

The pale yellow Soul Ring beneath his feet flashed faintly. Tang San lowered his stance and let out a low shout. "First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entangle!"

The Blue Silver Grass in his palm suddenly shot out several inches longer. Like a limp noodle, it carried a wave of foul stench as it weakly coiled several times around the tree trunk ahead.

A gentle breeze passed by.

Then... there was nothing else.

Yu Xiaogang: "..."

Wait, that was it?!

Master Yu felt his vision go dark, nearly fainting on the spot.

The Datura Snake Soul Ring he had initially planned to hunt for Tang San would at least have increased the toughness of his Blue Silver Grass, while also providing a trace of poison that would let Tang San easily paralyze his opponents.

But now, although his Soul Power was only level twenty-nine, he could still tell that Tang San's first Soul Skill seemed to be useless...

The power of this Entangle and the poison attached to it... seemed...

It was useless. This first Soul Skill was utterly and completely useless!

No! I'm the number one theory master. I have to talk my way out of this!

Master Yu's flat-top spun wildly, almost throwing sparks.

At last, inspiration flashed through his mind, and he found a suitable angle.

"Xiao San, not bad! Very good!"

Yu Xiaogang forcibly squeezed out a gratified smile. "It seems your Blue Silver Grass has gained excellent control over its form.

Under my guidance, you will surely become a control-type Soul Master capable of controlling the entire battlefield!"

"You must understand that in any Soul Master team, the control type is the absolute core and the brain!

I hope that from this day onward, you will learn how to be a good leader."

At this point, Gangzi paused, then shifted the subject. "Of course, your Blue Silver Grass is indeed somewhat lacking in toughness at present, but in my eyes, that is no problem at all.

As long as you continue to absorb the corresponding Soul Rings according to my exclusive theory, this shortcoming can easily be made up for."

Listening to his teacher's lengthy speech, Tang San did not immediately agree. Instead, a barely noticeable trace of suspicion flashed through his eyes.

He had been a genius of the Tang Sect's outer branch in his past life. Even if he had not yet fully grasped the Soul Master system in this life, he could still sense directly that this first Soul Skill seemed just the tiniest bit weak?

Catching the fleeting distrust in his beloved disciple's eyes, Yu Xiaogang's heart skipped a beat.

You don't trust me?

My theories are invincible!

Master Yu abruptly straightened his back and declared with absolute certainty,

"Xiao San, there is no need for you to doubt! Making the useless Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass undergo a practical change in form is already a miracle in itself!"

"I'll say it right here today: your first Soul Skill is absolutely invincible among those of the same rank!"

"As long as an opponent is bound by your Blue Silver Grass, breaking free easily will be nothing but a pipe dream!"

Seeing his teacher speak with such utter conviction, the doubt in Tang San's eyes quickly faded.

After all, he had only been in this world for six short years.

And he had only encountered Soul Master theory for such a brief time.

Naturally, he did not know as much as his teacher, the continent's greatest sage.

"Teacher, I understand!"

Tang San said thoughtfully.
