There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Spirit Masters.
The original meaning of this statement is that as long as the spirit ring skills are matched reasonably, any Martial Soul can exert its due effect.
Take the well-known Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, for example; when paired with certain skills, it can also be cultivated into a control-type Martial Soul.
However, because of the system's prompt, Tang San was biased and believed that there was a problem with Yu Xiaogang.
Therefore, his current focus was entirely on whether Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul was a trash Martial Soul and whether Yu Xiaogang was a trash Spirit Master.
"Then why are you unable to break through to level thirty, Teacher?"
This question was like a sword, piercing into Yu Xiaogang's heart.
"San, this is because my Martial Soul suffered a malignant mutation, which prevents me from breaking through level thirty."
Yu Xiaogang was somewhat at a loss for words, repeating the answer he had given before.
Tang San already had a hunch in his heart and did not continue to press the issue.
So, even though Teacher is a master of theory, he cannot solve the problem of his own Martial Soul mutation?
Martial Soul cultivation relies on the Martial Soul, but my Mysterious Heaven Skill internal energy is different; even if the Martial Soul hasn't awakened, it can still be cultivated.
So, my Mysterious Heaven Skill should be able to solve the problem of Teacher being unable to break through level thirty? Tang San thought to himself.
After spending these two days together, Tang San had a rough idea of Yu Xiaogang's level.
Teacher cannot even solve the problems of his own Martial Soul; can he really guide me in cultivating Twin Martial Souls?
Tang San had previously read the Introduction to Martial Soul Theory rewarded by the system and knew the dangers of cultivating Twin Martial Souls.
It's a good thing I have the system, otherwise I might have lost my life cultivating Twin Martial Souls!
If I want to cultivate Twin Martial Souls, I'm afraid I'll have to find a way to enter Martial Soul Hall and become a disciple under the Pope! Tang San thought to himself.
A few days later, in a patch of Blue Silver Grass behind Notting Academy.
Li Ping'an was sitting cross-legged on the Blue Silver Grass, cultivating.
One advantage of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is that there is basically no cost for a mimicry cultivation site.
In just a few days, the Blue Silver Grass around Li Ping'an's cultivation spot had grown significantly taller than the grass elsewhere.
"If I cultivate here for six years, won't these Blue Silver Grass evolve into spirit beasts?"
After several months of cultivation, Li Ping'an had vaguely sensed his connection with these Blue Silver Grass.
He was like a Blue Silver Grass spirit beast; the spirit power aura he radiated could guide these Blue Silver Grass to evolve.
And once these Blue Silver Grass became spirit beasts, they might be able to feed back into his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
However, all of this was too slow; in such a long time, he might have already taken off with the help of the system's rewards.
Just then, Li Ping'an's vision went dark.
A pair of warm, soft hands covered his eyes, and a voice rang in his ear: "Guess who I am?"
Did he even need to guess?
"Xiao Wu, are you back from absorbing your spirit ring?" Li Ping'an asked.
"No fun."
Having been guessed immediately, Xiao Wu felt bored and let go of Li Ping'an.
Li Ping'an opened his eyes and, sure enough, saw a pretty young girl standing beside him.
"That's right, I've already absorbed my spirit ring!"
Xiao Wu showed her Martial Soul and spirit ring to Li Ping'an.
She used her Breath Concealment Technique to hide her spirit power aura at level eleven, but in reality, her spirit power had already reached level thirteen.
Because she had become a Spirit Master, she could already use Martial Soul Possession.
In the state of Martial Soul Possession, Xiao Wu's legs looked even more slender, and there were two rabbit ears on top of her head, making her look extremely cute.
Even without using Martial Soul Possession, after not seeing her for a few days, Xiao Wu had grown quite a bit, and her height already exceeded Li Ping'an's.
It couldn't be helped; Xiao Wu was a beast-type Martial Soul after all, so her development was bound to be faster than Li Ping'an's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
"I'm a one-ring Spirit Master now; do you want me to guide your cultivation?" Xiao Wu asked.
In order to hide the fact that she was condensing a spirit ring, she hadn't been able to farm favorability points in front of Li Ping'an for several days.
So, as soon as she returned, she went everywhere looking for Li Ping'an.
"Sure!" Li Ping'an had exactly that intention.
"Xiao Wu, I want to know, if you don't use your Martial Soul, how do you trigger your spirit power?" Li Ping'an asked.
Before Xiao Wu had obtained her spirit ring, she was able to use spirit skills, which meant she should know how to use them.
Hearing Li Ping'an's question, Xiao Wu was stunned; she didn't know how to answer either.
"I don't know either; my spirit power seems to just come out naturally."
As a soul beast in human form, her meridians were completely unobstructed, allowing her to circulate soul power through them at will.
This was the foundation of her ability to develop a Self-Created Soul Skill, though Xiao Wu herself could not quite explain how it worked.
"Xiao Wu, why don't you use your Self-Created Soul Skill and try to feel how your soul power flows through your body?" Li Ping'an suggested.
"Alright, I'll give it a try!"
"But my soul skills are all Soft Technique, which requires a target. You'll have to cooperate with me!" Xiao Wu said.
"Fine, but Xiao Wu, go easy on me."
"Mm-hmm!"
No sooner had the words left her lips than Xiao Wu deactivated her Martial Soul Possession, relying solely on her soul power to wrap around Li Ping'an in an instant.
Li Ping'an felt a blur before his eyes, and suddenly he was being held by Xiao Wu again.
He was about to resist, but realizing she wasn't using much force, he allowed her to throw him to the ground.
"I think I understand!"
Xiao Wu sat on top of Li Ping'an, suddenly excited, as she seemed to have noticed the direction in which her soul power flowed.
If one used Martial Soul Possession to create a soul skill, the soul power was channeled through the martial soul itself.
But in this moment, she had achieved it using only her physical body.
"Really? Can you teach me, Xiao Wu?" Li Ping'an asked.
If he could clearly understand the connection between soul power and the meridians, he would be able to develop his own Self-Created Soul Skills in the future.
Furthermore, he could compensate for the inherent weakness of his Blue Silver Grass martial soul in its early stages.
"Sure, but I'll need to practice a few more times before I can teach you!" Xiao Wu said.
"Mm, Xiao Wu, if you can figure out this pattern, you might be able to create many more soul skills in the future!"
"It's not really appropriate for a girl like you to keep using these grappling-style soul skills."
Xiao Wu was just about to retort when she suddenly heard the system's notification chime.
[Congratulations to the host for discovering the mystery of soul skills with the Child of Luck.]
[To harvest more luck from the Child of Luck, please accept the Child of Luck's request and study Self-Created Soul Skills with him!]
[Task: Develop three satisfactory Self-Created Soul Skills with the Child of Luck.]
[Reward: Favorability of the Child of Luck +1, Soul Power +2 levels!]
Seeing the system's task, Xiao Wu swallowed the retort she had been about to make.
So, he doesn't want to see me use Soft Technique on other men?
He must be jealous; he has feelings for me! Xiao Wu thought to herself.
"Fine, your proposal is quite interesting, but you have to help me research these Self-Created Soul Skills!" Xiao Wu said.
For the sake of the system's rewards, Xiao Wu decided to take Li Ping'an's advice.
