"This is a ten-year Lone Bamboo. Its defining trait is toughness, making it quite suitable for your Blue Silver Grass."
Ning Rongrong was a little speechless.
That useless Gangzi definitely had some luck on his side.
He had been born the young sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Even after awakening a useless martial soul, he still enjoyed the most abundant resources.
In his youth, he first fell in love with Bibi Dong, then later began a relationship with Liu Erlong.
Both women were considered exceptionally outstanding among female Soul Masters, yet this guy had dated them both.
And in the end, he had even taken in a genius disciple like Tang San.
"Unbelievable, this Yu Xiaogang."
Ning Rongrong sighed.
[Ah Yin: That innately evil Tang San—I will judge him sooner or later, along with Tang Hao!]
He actually dared to become the protector of that innately evil Tang San. I'll definitely settle the score with him someday too!
As usual, the mention of Tang San triggered Ah Yin's appearance.
But this time, she had dragged Tang Hao into it as well.
"That bastard Tang Hao! He must have known that Tang San was a transmigrator from another world. He isn't even our child anymore, so why is Tang Hao still protecting him?"
Ah Yin was both angry and helpless.
[Strongest: Because Yu Xiaogang had the status of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, he was able to inspect the student records at Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy. This time, he happened to notice the genius Tang San.
Innately full soul power, with Blue Silver Grass as his martial soul! Based on his shallow knowledge, he guessed that Blue Silver Grass could not possibly possess innately full soul power, so Tang San had to have a second martial soul. This time, a blind cat really did stumble upon a dead mouse.
Yu Xiaogang relied on exposing Tang San's twin martial souls to trick him into becoming his disciple.
Why else would they say Gangzi's martial soul theories were so shallow? He had no idea that one strong and one weak martial soul could not coexist in the same body. He even cultivated Tang San's Blue Silver Grass as though it were ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Having Tang San absorb soul rings from poison-attributed soul beasts—only this man could come up with such an idea. Xiao Wu, tell everyone what Tang San's first and second soul rings were.]
Yu Xiaogang was practically using Tang San as an experiment.
Tang San must have realized it later on, which was why he had not brought Yu Xiaogang to the God Realm. He had only gotten what he deserved.
[Xiao Wu: Uh... his first soul skill was Entanglement, and his second soul skill seemed to be Parasitism. Actually, I've always wanted to ask this since I was little. Doesn't Blue Silver Grass already have the ability to entangle things? Why did he go out of his way to get an Entanglement skill?]
Xiao Wu genuinely had this question.
But back then, Tang San practically treated Yu Xiaogang like his real father.
Whoever dared question Yu Xiaogang, Tang San would fall out with them.
She could not ask when she was young, but surely she could ask now.
So Xiao Wu directly questioned Tang San, who had been silently following behind her.
"Little Blackie, come here."
Upon hearing that, Tang San immediately walked over with a beaming smile, looking as attentive as could be.
"Is something the matter, Xiao Wu?"
Xiao Wu first took a step back to widen the distance between them before asking,
"Little Blackie, why was your first soul ring Entanglement? Doesn't Blue Silver Grass already possess the characteristic of entanglement?"
Tang San had not expected Xiao Wu to ask that, but he still answered,
"Teacher told me to choose it. I trust Teacher."
Xiao Wu frowned. She knew Tang San would say that.
He really was Yu Xiaogang's devoted bootlicker.
"Fine, you can get lost now. And don't follow me!!!"
After saying that, she stomped on Tang San's toes.
Then she stormed off in a huff.
Leaving Tang San alone where he stood, grimacing in pain.
Every now and then, he muttered strange things under his breath.
"Hehe, Little Sister Xiao Wu stepped on my foot. We should be back to how things used to be very soon."
[Not Little Witch: Hahaha, Entanglement as a first soul skill? I'm dying! Can Blue Silver Grass even entangle things?]
In Ning Rongrong's impression, Blue Silver Grass snapped with a single tug.
Even if its toughness were enhanced, its ability to entangle would definitely be inferior to martial souls like ropes.
"Useless Grandmaster. Truly worthy of being called a Useless Grandmaster."
[Bibi Dong: So... having that useless Yu Xiaogang teach Tang San is actually a good thing. He's practically taught Tang San into becoming useless.]
Bibi Dong had originally wanted to send Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo to kill Tang San.
But when she considered that Clear Sky Douluo was still at his side, she gave up on the idea.
Bibi Dong truly feared that just after rewarding those two with soul bones, they would be hammered to death.
Then she would not even have a place to cry.
Now that it seemed Yu Xiaogang was going to ruin Tang San's cultivation, Bibi Dong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
If that was the case, Tang San should not pose much of a threat to Spirit Hall in the future... right?
[World's Greatest Poison: Even I know that two martial souls, one strong and one weak, cannot exist in the same body, but he does not. As expected, Yu Xiaogang is useless.]
[A Healer Cannot Heal Themself: By the way, @Ah Yin, you're the Blue Silver Emperor. I'd like to ask what path Blue Silver Grass should take.]
[Ah Yin: Blue Silver Grass as a martial soul is inherently weak, so it honestly does not matter what soul beast soul rings it absorbs. It cannot cultivate to a very high realm anyway. But that beast's martial soul definitely isn't Blue Silver Grass—it inherited my Blue Silver Emperor.
The Blue Silver Emperor's greatest trait is its tenacious vitality, so I believe it should take the life path. That is the path I follow as well. According to Gangzi's theory, absorbing poison-attributed soul beast soul rings is completely putting the cart before the horse.]
After seeing the group leader's words, Ah Yin felt relieved.
Leaving Tang San in the hands of that useless Yu Xiaogang should be enough to ruin that beast's Blue Silver Emperor.
[Strongest: Exactly. Think about it: if Tang San followed Ah Yin's method and took the life path, then in the later stages, he would hold an ultimate-life Blue Silver Emperor in one hand and an ultimate-destruction Clear Sky Hammer in the other! Just how terrifying would that be?]
Yang Xiu added at just the right moment.
[Shadow Cat: Hiss... now that I think about it, that really does sound terrifying. You can't beat him, and he can even heal himself automatically...]
[Motherless Since Childhood: Good thing Gangzi's great hand has stepped in. If things really went as the group leader described, Spirit Hall would probably be in serious trouble...]
[Ah Yin: In a sense, this Gangzi can actually be considered a good person.]
[Xiao Wu: Hahaha, anyone who ruins Tang San counts as a good person, huh?]
[Strongest: Oh, one more thing. Yu Xiaogang nearly had Tang San absorb a ten-year Lone Bamboo. This was what he said: "This is a ten-year Lone Bamboo. Its defining trait is toughness, making it quite suitable for your Blue Silver Grass."... Hahaha.]
Thinking of it, Yang Xiu truly could not hold back his laughter.
If they had not found that Mandala Snake, Gangzi might really have made Tang San absorb that ten-year soul ring.
[Not Little Witch: For the group leader's big brother to laugh like that, one can only imagine how absurd Yu Xiaogang is.]
[Motherless Since Childhood: Unbelievable. This is how Yu Xiaogang teaches his disciples? He's probably older than that Lone Bamboo himself.]
