Heh Heh Heh! Tang San, Help Me Cultivate!

"Blue Silver Grass: wildfire cannot burn it all away; when the spring breeze blows, it grows anew."

Lin Wu leaned against the window, his black eyes holding a depth and wisdom beyond his years.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at Tang San, who sat by the bed blinking her big, watery eyes. A confident smile curled across his lips.

"Little Third Lady, did you go see that so-called 'master,' Yu Xiaogang, today?"

Tang San's delicate body trembled slightly, and she nodded a little awkwardly.

"If it was him, he probably advised you to absorb beast-type soul rings.

"To take the pure control-system path, perhaps even have you obtain soul rings suited for that direction. Am I right?"

Hearing Lin Wu's uncannily precise prediction, Tang San's beautiful black eyes widened round.

She nodded repeatedly, looking adorably stunned.

"Brother Xiao Wu... how did you know? That master really did tell me all that today."

"He also said it was his 'core theory,' that it could let my Blue Silver Grass unleash extremely powerful control."

Lin Wu snorted at that and shook his head.

"What a waste of a heavenly gift!"

"He doesn't understand true Blue Silver Grass at all!"

Tang San was left dumbfounded by Lin Wu's decisive declaration.

She tilted her little head slightly, her pretty face full of confusion.

"A waste of a heavenly gift?"

"Brother Xiao Wu... then what do you think?"

Lin Wu's smile faded. He turned around and fixed his blazing gaze on the delicate, lovely girl before him.

"Little Third Lady, do you trust me?"

Tang San did not hesitate in the slightest. Meeting Lin Wu's domineering yet warm gaze, she nodded heavily.

Her beautiful eyes, clear as autumn waters, brimmed with utter, unconditional trust.

"I trust you, Brother Xiao Wu!"

"Whatever you say, I believe!"

Seeing how obedient and compliant she looked, Lin Wu lifted his chin in satisfaction.

"Good."

"Little Third Lady, I can clearly sense that your Blue Silver Grass... is definitely not the ordinary weed found everywhere."

"Even setting aside the quality it may have hidden away."

"What is the greatest advantage of the most common Blue Silver Grass across the entire continent?"

"Poison? Control?"

"Neither!"

"The reason Blue Silver Grass covers all of the Douluo Continent lies in its most fundamental advantage: its terrifying vitality and recovery ability, endlessly renewing itself, nearly impossible to kill or destroy!"

Lin Wu walked to the bed and sat down, reaching out to pat the spot beside him.

Tang San obediently shifted closer to Lin Wu, a faint blush spreading across her little face.

Taking the opportunity, Lin Wu wrapped an arm around her slender shoulders and spoke at length.

"Yu Xiaogang wants you to absorb beast-type soul rings, forcibly adding toxins and hardness to Blue Silver Grass. That's injecting impurities into an originally pure plant essence!"

"If this continues, your martial soul's essence will be severely contaminated, perhaps even ruining its future potential!"

"The truly supreme path should be the purest one—the path of life!"

Tang San was deeply shaken.

Having inherited the secret arts of the Tang Sect, she possessed an unusual sensitivity toward the principles of heaven and earth.

The "path of life" Lin Wu spoke of was like lightning, instantly tearing through the fog in her heart.

"The path of life..."

Tang San murmured to herself, her eyes sparkling with wonder.

Seeing her sink into thought, Lin Wu continued his analysis with a smile.

"That's right!"

"As long as you absorb high-quality plant-type soul rings and continuously stack ultimate vitality onto your Blue Silver Grass, so long as you do not contaminate its essence, the quality of your Blue Silver Grass will undergo a qualitative leap!"

"When its life force reaches the extreme, its toughness, hardness, thickness, and even growth speed will all surge across the board!"

"At that point, the Blue Silver Grass vines you summon with a wave of your hand will no longer be fragile ropes. They will become divine weapons of attack, possessing terrifying piercing power and defensive strength alike!"

"And the best part comes after that—"

Lin Wu lowered his head to look at the little girl absorbed in his words within his embrace, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

"Once your Blue Silver Grass possesses boundless vitality and recovery ability, the rate at which it consumes Soul Power may not even keep up with the speed at which it restores and replenishes itself!"

"That means that in battle, you can practically ignore Soul Power consumption and spam your ultimate moves infinitely at low cost—or even no cost at all!"

"How is that some worthless weed?"

"It is clearly a mobile, infinitely regenerating energy reservoir!"

Hearing Lin Wu's earth-shattering yet perfectly logical grand theory, one that went straight to the heart of the matter, Tang San was utterly stunned.

Treating Blue Silver Grass as an infinitely regenerating energy source?

Compared to Yu Xiaogang's hollow theories pieced together from the experiences of others, this was countless times more brilliant!

This was a true genius idea, turning the rotten into the miraculous!

"Brother Xiao Wu... you know so much!"

A startling brilliance burst from Tang San's beautiful eyes.

Pink heart bubbles began popping wildly in the depths of her gaze again.

She lifted her exquisitely pretty face, her eyes filled with admiration and fluttering affection.

Her Brother Xiao Wu was not only handsome and commanding, powerful in battle, but his wisdom was unmatched beneath heaven as well!

Was there any boy in the world more perfect than Brother Xiao Wu?!

Seeing Tang San's nearly blind worship, Lin Wu gently stroked her smooth black hair and revealed a confident, sunny smile.

"Of course."

"Follow me, and I guarantee you'll become one of the strongest experts on the entire continent."

Tang San smiled sweetly and rested her little head against Lin Wu's chest, feeling the youth's strong heartbeat.

"Mhm! From now on, I'll listen to everything Brother Xiao Wu says!"

"Master or not, I'll never pay attention to him again!"

Yet in Lin Wu's heart, wild laughter had already erupted.

Heh heh heh heh...

Little Third Lady, oh, Little Third Lady, do you think I'm doing this for your sake?

I'm raising the greatest 'power bank' and 'mobile healer' in the world!

As long as Tang San takes the life path, not only will she gain infinite endurance for herself, but more importantly—

Once I find a chance to use Love God's contract ability and bind Tang San as my contracted beast...

Then, by sharing her immense vitality and vast Soul Power, I'll have an infinite mana bar too!

In a world where everyone on the continent carefully calculates every bit of Soul Power they spend, I'll directly turn on unlimited firepower mode!

Heh heh heh!

Tang San, help me cultivate!

At the same time.

In the forest behind Nuoding Academy.

Beneath the shadow of a ruined ancient tree, a tall, hunched figure clung desperately to the trunk, his face deathly pale.

It was Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao, who had been secretly watching.

Tang Hao clutched his violently heaving chest, then opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Pfft—cough, cough, cough!"

Ah Yin's sacrifice back then had already left him with severe internal injuries that were difficult to heal.

Now, through his senses, he had witnessed scene after scene unfolding in Seventh House.

Tang Hao only felt the blood and energy within him churn wildly. His old injuries flared up again, and he nearly passed out on the spot!

That yellow-haired brat who did not know his place was hugging his delicate, precious daughter while shamelessly disparaging the master's theories.

And his little treasure, normally so clever, had actually been led around by the nose after just a few words from that brat!

Not only had she completely forgotten the master, she had even taken the initiative to press her little head to that boy's chest, calling him "Brother Xiao Wu" with a syrupy sweet expression!

Those big, watery eyes of hers were practically overflowing with pink heart bubbles!
