"A century-old Spirit Ring!"
"I remember now, Tang San has innate full Spirit Power!"
"That means we have three geniuses among the Work-Study Students this year!"
The people around them immediately wore expressions of shock. In Nuoding City, three six-year-old Spirit Masters appearing among the Work-Study Students all at once was unprecedented for Notting Academy.
"It's a pity, though, that Tang San's Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass."
"Blue Silver Grass... that really is useless."
"Even with high Spirit Power, it's still a trash Martial Soul."
Wang Sheng looked at Tang San's Blue Silver Grass and sighed, and the people around them shook their heads in agreement.
Hmm!
Tang San watched their expressions and secretly clenched his fists. When Qin Qi and Xiao Wu had revealed their Spirit Rings earlier, the crowd had been excited and envious, but when it was his turn, they wore expressions of pity for a waste of talent. This stark contrast made Tang San feel extremely uncomfortable.
"San, what kind of Spirit Beast did your Spirit Ring come from?" Xiao Wu asked.
"A four-hundred-year-old Datura Snake," Tang San replied.
"A Datura Snake... why would Blue Silver Grass absorb a Datura Snake? Shouldn't a plant-type absorb a plant-type Spirit Beast's ring? San, what is your first Spirit Skill?"
The others in Dorm Seven looked at Tang San with confusion. Why would Blue Silver Grass absorb a Datura Snake?
"Blue Silver Entanglement. It can bind enemies with Blue Silver Grass and also carries a paralyzing toxin. Besides, Spirit Ring absorption isn't fixed. According to my teacher's Martial Soul Mimicry Theory, Tool Martial Souls can also absorb Beast Martial Soul rings!" Tang San brought up Yu Xiaogang, feeling that his teacher's theory was finally coming in handy.
"Hmm... why would a plant-type absorb an animal-type ring? Is there any special benefit?" Qin Qi suddenly asked. He was genuinely curious if there was a special effect.
"This..." Tang San was momentarily speechless. He didn't actually know the benefit; there didn't seem to be any special advantage at all.
"Also, San, why did you, a Blue Silver Grass user, absorb a Datura Snake? If you wanted toughness, you could have looked for a plant-type Spirit Beast that increases durability. If you wanted toxicity, there are plenty of poisonous plant-type Spirit Beasts, too. Why didn't you look for a Spirit Beast of the same type instead of absorbing a Datura Snake?" Qin Qi looked at Tang San. Honestly, if Tang San had absorbed a ten-year Lone Bamboo, it might have been better than a Datura Snake. He could have awakened a 'Blue Silver Pole Vault' and jumped straight to the God Realm in eighteen leaps.
"That actually makes sense!"
"When I first heard it, the Martial Soul Mimicry Theory sounded impressive, but in reality, it's useless, isn't it?"
"San, you've been swindled by Grandmaster again, haven't you?" Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng thought for a moment and realized that the so-called Martial Soul Mimicry Theory was just nonsense.
Hmm!
Tang San's face darkened. He hadn't thought of this before, but now that he had, What a complete loser, he cursed inwardly. He had only learned a few pieces of knowledge from Grandmaster, and upon closer inspection, they were all wrong. No wonder everyone laughed at Grandmaster for being a clown; he really was ridiculous.
"San, don't be so tense. Rest assured, we definitely won't mock you to your face. If we do mock you, it will certainly be behind your back." Qin Qi looked at the silent Tang San and offered a word of comfort before turning to the others. "From now on, don't say to San's face that his Blue Silver Grass is a trash Martial Soul or that it's useless. Don't say to his face that his teacher is a clown and that he is a clown's apprentice. And definitely don't say that San absorbed the wrong Spirit Ring and has ruined his future!"
"Even if you have to talk about it, don't do it in front of Tang San. Do it behind his back."
Qin Qi spoke up.
"..."
Tang San's expression grew even gloomier. Qin Qi's words sounded like they were meant to look out for him.
But why did they feel so infuriating to hear!
In the time that followed, Qin Qi took Xiao Wu and Tang San to Spirit Hall for certification.
During the process, Tang San once again endured comparison and humiliation.
"A century-old Spirit Ring! A six-year-old Spirit Master—Notting Academy is truly incredible this year!"
"Little girl, would you like to join Spirit Hall?"
Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, who was in charge of the certification, asked.
"Hmm..."
Xiao Wu turned to look at Qin Qi beside her, using her eyes to ask how she should answer this.
She wondered if she would still get her allowance if she answered wrong.
"Thank you for your kindness, Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, but could you please test my other classmate first?"
Qin Qi pointed at Tang San.
"I was too hasty. Child, put your hand on it."
Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo stroked his beard and spoke.
Tang San placed his hand on the crystal ball, and his Spirit Ring and Spirit Power manifested, along with his Blue Silver Grass Spirit.
"Another century-old Spirit Ring and a six-year-old Spirit Master! Notting Academy is truly remarkable!"
"But it's a pity, the Spirit is Blue Silver Grass."
Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo shook his head with some regret. The talent was quite good, but the Spirit was too trashy.
"So, little girl, young man, are you two willing to join Spirit Hall? The benefits are very good, you know."
Ma Xiunuo turned to look at Qin Qi and Xiao Wu, directly ignoring Tang San standing to the side.
If Tang San had come alone, Ma Xiunuo might have tried to invite him.
But now, with two other geniuses with better talent and better Spirits present, Ma Xiunuo didn't want to waste his recommendation quota on Tang San and his trashy Spirit.
"Damn it!"
Watching Ma Xiunuo ignore him completely, Tang San couldn't help but clench his fists.
He had been so enthusiastic toward Xiao Wu just a moment ago, yet so cold toward him!
Is having a good Spirit really that great!
There are no trashy Spirits in this world, only trashy Spirit Masters!
"Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, the allowance—the Spirit Master allowance."
Qin Qi reminded him.
"Oh, the Spirit Master allowance. One Gold Spirit Coin. Here you go, little girl, and then..."
Ma Xiunuo prepared to extend his invitation again, but was interrupted by Qin Qi before he could speak.
"Thank you, Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo. Xiao Wu, you have money now; you can go buy that little dress you like."
Qin Qi flashed a simple smile and said.
"Ah? Oh, let's hurry, or someone else might buy it if we're late!"
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant. She replied and ran off after Qin Qi.
Only Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo and Tang San remained in Spirit Hall.
"Grandmaster..."
Tang San looked at Ma Xiunuo. He wanted to join Spirit Hall; perhaps he could obtain more resources if he did.
"Child, your classmates have already left. You should hurry and catch up with them."
Ma Xiunuo watched Qin Qi and Xiao Wu run off and sighed. Then, without even looking at Tang San, he turned and walked away.
Tang San turned and left with a gloomy face. He swore that one day, he would make everyone who looked down on the Blue Silver Grass Spirit regret it!
My other Spirit, I'm counting on you!
Let them know what it means when people say there are no trashy Spirits, only trashy Spirit Masters!
As Tang San walked out of Spirit Hall, he looked at the Clear Sky Hammer in his other hand and muttered to himself.
