The Strengths of Blue Silver Grass and Yu Xiaogang's Ambition

"Xiao San, there was no need to be so impatient. Since your teacher recognized the Clear Sky Hammer, I would tell you of its origins."

"Alright, put away your Clear Sky Hammer first. Your teacher would slowly tell you everything I knew."

"The Clear Sky Hammer was inherited from the Clear Sky Sect, which stood first among the Upper Three Sects of the Soul Master world."

"The Clear Sky Hammer emphasized dominance, strength, and explosive power. It was unquestionably the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world. There were only a handful of Tool Martial Souls capable of contending with it, and I would tell you about those later."

"Since your second Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, your teacher now knew what path you should take in the future."

"At its core, a Soul Master's battle was a collision of Soul Power against Soul Power, explosive force against explosive force. You possessed Twin Martial Souls, so you were born with a tremendous advantage over ordinary Soul Masters."

"Therefore, your teacher planned to have you cultivate your first Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, first."

"Your Blue Silver Grass was not ordinary Blue Silver Grass. It was Blue Silver Grass with the potential to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor."

"Xiao San, do you know what Blue Silver Grass's greatest strength is?"

At Tang Wulin's prompting, Tang San put away the Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand and fell into thought.

What were Blue Silver Grass's strengths? Tang San truly did not know very well.

Rather than pretending to understand and spouting nonsense, Tang San shook his head, confusion appearing on his face.

"Teacher, what exactly is Blue Silver Grass's strength?"

Tang Wulin smiled and casually ruffled Tang San's head. It actually felt quite nice.

"Xiao San, Blue Silver Grass was the most common wild grass on the Douluo Continent. Its greatest strengths were its enormous numbers and vitality."

"Therefore, if a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul wanted to grow stronger, you could not take the control path, nor could you take the support path."

"Enhance your vitality, consolidate your foundation, and rely on the bloodline of your own Blue Silver Emperor to continuously drive your Blue Silver Grass toward evolution. That was what you should do."

"As Blue Silver Grass's vitality grew stronger and its bloodline evolved, the strength of the Blue Silver Grass would increase alongside them."

"When your Martial Soul reached the level of the Blue Silver King, it could already be called a top-tier plant Martial Soul. When your Martial Soul reached the Blue Silver Emperor level like your teacher's, its quality would not pale even beside the continent's finest Martial Souls."

Tang Wulin summoned his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul. Accompanied by dense life energy, a vine etched with golden patterns shot up and firmly bound Tang San.

Tang San struggled with all his strength, but he could not shake the Blue Silver Emperor in the slightest and could only remain tightly bound.

Feeling the Blue Silver Emperor's nearly unbreakable restraint, longing flashed through Tang San's eyes.

Blue Silver Grass, a Martial Soul branded as useless, could transform into one of the continent's greatest Martial Souls after being tempered by life force again and again.

For a moment, Tang San's heart burned with excitement. His Blue Silver Grass was not a useless Martial Soul; it was something that might one day become a Blue Silver Emperor like his teacher's.

What was more, he possessed the Clear Sky Hammer, the world's number one Tool Martial Soul. As long as he followed his teacher's guidance, he would surely become a renowned powerhouse across the continent.

Thinking of this, Tang San's gaze toward Tang Wulin grew even more reverent. He felt that he had truly chosen the right teacher.

His current Blue Silver Grass was only slightly stronger than ordinary Blue Silver Grass. If he wanted it to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor, his teacher was likely the only one on the continent who could guide him.

With that thought, Tang San could not help feeling fortunate. If Teacher Wulin had not appeared, he might have been deceived by some dubious person and truly gone down the wrong path, losing his chance to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Teacher, I am willing to accept your training and follow the cultivation path you have laid out for me."

"Teacher, please take me to cultivate as soon as possible!"

Tang San respectfully bowed to Tang Wulin, his little face full of reverence and impatience.

"Good child. I will take you back to the dormitory first, then bring you to obtain your first Soul Ring."

Tang Wulin nodded and smiled gently. That spring-breeze smile made Tang San's heart race, and a fondness born from bloodline naturally welled up within him.

Teacher's smile was so beautiful. Teacher's hand was so warm too, broad and warm like Father's hand!

Tang Wulin took Tang San by the hand and first went to the commercial street near Notting Academy, where he bought Tang San a new set of bedding.

Those things had cost very little, yet Tang San, who had never felt a father's love, was deeply moved. The look he gave Tang Wulin became even more affectionate and dependent.

After sending Tang San to Dorm Seven, Tang Wulin first had Tang San make his bed. Then, under the gazes of all the children in Dorm Seven, he led Tang San away.

One step late, late at every step. By the time Yu Xiaogang made inquiries and arrived at Dorm Seven, Tang Wulin had long since left with Tang San, their whereabouts unknown.

"Damn it!"

Yu Xiaogang was furious. Relying on a little strength, Tang Wulin had actually taken Tang San to obtain a Soul Ring without even checking any reference materials. Soul Rings were immensely important.

Once the wrong choice was made, it would deal a devastating blow to a Soul Master's development and future.

Amid his anger, however, Yu Xiaogang felt a trace of secret delight. A useless Martial Soul like Blue Silver Grass was already exceedingly weak. If Tang San absorbed the wrong Soul Ring as well, its potential for development would be even lower. Then Yu Xiaogang could appear and offer Tang San hope, and he would surely become Tang San's most respected teacher.

As for whether Tang Wulin could bring Tang San to successfully absorb a high-quality Soul Ring?

Heh, how could that be possible?

That boy named Tang Wulin seemed fairly strong, but he certainly lacked experience as a Soul Master. He was utterly unqualified to teach someone with Twin Martial Souls.

Thinking that Tang San would soon become his disciple, Yu Xiaogang could not help smiling.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin and Tang San, who had been the subject of his thoughts, had already appeared outside Notting City and were heading directly toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

Since Tang San was to take the path of accumulating his own life force and allowing Blue Silver Grass to continuously evolve through bloodline, he needed high-quality life-attribute soul beasts.

The ordinary Soul Hunting Forest would not possess high-quality life-attribute soul beasts, so the Star Dou Great Forest was the best choice.

As the largest gathering place for soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, the Star Dou Great Forest possessed nearly every kind of soul beast. Naturally, it also had soul beasts with tenacious vitality.

Sitting in the carriage, Tang Wulin introduced the Star Dou Great Forest while carefully passing on all his experience as a Soul Master to Tang San.

Tang San sat beside Tang Wulin, feeling nothing but warmth. The stirring from his bloodline made him feel warm and safe. It was a feeling he had never experienced before.
