The Powerful Mother-Child Ghost Vine Martial Soul

"An innate skill? That can't be possible!"

"I've never heard of such a thing!"

Wu Xiao'ai and Wu Xiaodong stared at Grandmaster in shock, then shifted their eager gazes to Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian was clearly stunned silly by Grandmaster's sudden appearance as well.

He nodded instinctively.

"There really is one? Then hurry up and show us!"

Even Xue Yue, as their teacher, became excited.

"Okay!"

Xiao Tian placed the Martial Soul in his hand before Wu Xiao'ai. Then, under everyone's astonished gazes—

The little vine within the Martial Soul actually flew out of his hand and headed toward Wu Xiao'ai.

Curious about the flying vine, Wu Xiao'ai reached out to touch it.

The instant she came into contact with it, the little vine immediately wrapped around her wrist like a green bracelet.

Then, both the vine in Xiao Tian's right hand and the little vine around Wu Xiao'ai's wrist lit up at the same time.

In the next instant, their positions changed.

Xiao Tian was now standing where Wu Xiao'ai had been, while Wu Xiao'ai had been moved to Xiao Tian's former position.

"Hm?"

Wu Xiao'ai was a little dazed. Wu Xiaodong had clearly been beside her just moments ago, yet now he was standing across from her alongside Xiao Tian.

Everyone else stared wide-eyed, their mouths hanging open!

It was simply too shocking.

There really was a Martial Soul born with a soul skill—and it was such a powerful support skill as Displacement.

Even Grandmaster, who had already suspected as much, took quite a while to recover from his shock.

"Once I saw that soul skill, I could be certain! Hahahaha!"

Grandmaster's face was full of smiles. He had never expected that while accompanying students to hunt soul rings, he would encounter such a special Martial Soul.

Even Wang Sheng's curiosity was completely stirred. He asked impatiently, "Grandmaster, what exactly is Xiao Tian's Martial Soul?"

"This Martial Soul is an extremely special plant-type Martial Soul known as the Mother-Child Ghost Vine. Although the sub-vine appears to have no connection whatsoever with the mother vine, it is truly a part of it and is controlled by it."

"Displacement is one of the Mother-Child Ghost Vine's instincts! Once the main body is threatened, it switches positions with a sub-vine to avoid danger."

"The Mother-Child Ghost Vine has three other traits. First, when it reaches ten years of cultivation, it produces a sub-vine. Once it reaches certain levels of strength, the number of sub-vines increases, until it reaches one hundred thousand years and possesses ten sub-vines. Once it has more than two sub-vines, the sub-vines can also switch positions with one another. My personal guess is that Xiao Tian will produce one sub-vine for every soul ring he gains in the future."

"Second, the Sub-Vines can burrow underground, then suddenly emerge to Bind opponents, making them impossible to guard against. Third, the thorns on the Sub-Vines are poisonous. The stronger they become, the more potent the poison."

"So my personal recommendation is to follow a powerful control path. The soul beasts he hunts should possess poison and tough bodies. Combined with its innate Displacement ability, it will absolutely become every enemy's nightmare."

"Gulp..."

Everyone, including Wang Sheng and Xue Yue, swallowed hard.

Because if things were truly as Grandmaster described, then in team battles, their formation could be changed at will.

Just imagine it: when an enemy launched an attack at Wu Xiao'ai or Xiao Tian, a sudden Displacement could turn the target into Wang Sheng, a powerful assault-type Soul Master, or Wu Xiaodong, their strongest defender. What expression would the enemy have then?

Then imagine the opposing side having already laid out a plan to counter Wang Sheng and the others one by one. Suddenly, they discovered that Wang Sheng's group had all changed positions, instantly ruining their counter strategy. Yet their attacks had already been launched and could not be stopped. What expression would they have then?

They would probably feel like dying!

And the burrowing ability and poison were equally hard to defend against.

It had to be said that this Martial Soul was simply too powerful.

"Damn, Teacher Xue Yue, I think you shouldn't punish us. No... you should treat us to something delicious!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! If we hadn't caused trouble, where would you have gotten such an incredible new student?"

For once, the constantly bickering siblings Wu Xiao'ai and Wu Xiaodong were united, sharing the same idea.

"Fine, I won't punish you. As for the food, we'll talk after we return to the academy." Xue Yue was clearly in an excellent mood. Without even thinking, she agreed immediately.

After settling the two children, Xue Yue promptly thanked Grandmaster. "Thank you for your guidance, Grandmaster. Otherwise, if we returned to the academy and only then brought Xiao Tian out to hunt a soul ring, we would have wasted quite a bit of time and effort."

Grandmaster waved his hand casually. "It's nothing. I merely moved my mouth a little... Besides, Xiao Tian is fortunate to have such a responsible teacher as you."

Wang Sheng thought to himself that they owed Grandmaster a huge favor over this matter. He did not believe that, as Xue Yue had said, they could have figured out Xiao Tian's Martial Soul simply by returning to the academy.

Moreover, Grandmaster had not only explained the characteristics of the Martial Soul, but had even given reasonable advice on which path Xiao Tian should take and what kinds of soul beasts he should hunt.

Just as everyone was celebrating, a loud shout came from outside. "You little brats inside, come out and talk!"

"Hm?"

Wu Xiaodong, Wu Xiao'ai, Mei Hu, and Wang Sheng looked at one another!

There were only their group and Grandmaster's group here. Grandmaster's group had only just arrived, so it was impossible that they had offended anyone.

That meant it could only be them. Thinking of the people they had taught a lesson to earlier, they immediately understood that someone had come to help them get revenge.

Grandmaster's group was somewhat confused, but Xue Yue understood at once when she saw the expressions of the four.

She could not help glaring at them as she said coldly, "You handle the trouble you caused yourselves."

Although Xiao Tian was a little worried, he was clever enough to react immediately. He said anxiously, "Teacher Xue Yue, you can't just ignore Sister Xiao'ai and the others! They did it for my sake..."

Before he could finish, Wang Sheng interrupted him. "Heh, perfect. I had some reservations before, but now is the time to fulfill my promise. Anyone who touches Meier dies!"

That was right. Xue Yue had not been there earlier, and the other side had been academy students! They had certainly been brought out by academy teachers as well. If Wang Sheng had pursued them relentlessly, they might inevitably have encountered those teachers.

At that point, things would have been difficult to resolve.

After all, even the weakest academy teachers were Four-Ring Soul Ancestors, and they might very well have been Five-Ring Soul Kings.

But things were different now.

Wang Sheng glanced at Xue Yue, and his heart settled completely!

"Come on. Let's go meet those pieces of trash again."

Wang Sheng led Wu Xiaodong, Wu Xiao'ai, and Mei Hu outside.

"You're not going to stop them?" Grandmaster asked Xue Yue curiously.

Xue Yue smiled calmly. "That little fellow Wang Sheng said something very right: a Soul Master who doesn't dare cause trouble isn't a good Soul Master!"
