"Forgot some details of the fight?"
Yu Xiaogang frowned, but paid it little mind.
When pushed to the brink, people could do many things they normally couldn't.
Soul Masters were no different.
It was also normal to be unable to recall those moments afterward.
When Tang San took out a large pile of hidden weapons and laid them on the table, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed, his brows knitting tightly.
Tang San had forged all these hidden weapons himself. Yu Xiaogang had never thought much of them and often taught Tang San that a Soul Master's strength depended on soul power and soul skills.
It was best to stay away from such unorthodox paths.
"These... you've forgotten all of these?"
Yu Xiaogang didn't understand hidden weapons, but he knew they were part of Tang San's strength.
And now Tang San was saying he had forgotten them?
He had poured his heart and soul into forging them, hammer blow after hammer blow!
Yu Xiaogang's voice trembled with alarm!
"Teacher, do you know what these are?"
Yu Xiaogang: "..."
"You once said these things were called hidden weapons."
"I never asked any further..."
Yu Xiaogang replied.
"Didn't you ever make any records?"
Tang San: "..."
He had been so cautious that he really hadn't made any records, afraid that someone might seize his Storage Soul Tool one day.
Master and disciple exchanged a glance, remaining silent for a long time.
After a long while,
Yu Xiaogang finally spoke.
"Your condition probably has something to do with absorbing a soul ring beyond your level."
"The soul power exceeded what you could withstand and damaged your brain."
"That caused you to lose some of your memories."
Tang San froze and carefully thought back.
It was while absorbing the soul ring that he had suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and then...
"Teacher, is there any way to remedy this?"
"I feel like those missing memories are extremely important to me!"
Yu Xiaogang sighed and shook his head.
"I don't know."
"Perhaps you'll recover those memories with time."
"Never be so reckless again!"
In Yu Xiaogang's view, it was just as well that Tang San had forgotten his hidden weapons.
They were an unorthodox pursuit, after all!
A Soul Master's foundation lay in soul power and soul skills.
Without continuing his research into hidden weapons, Tang San would have more time to cultivate.
Tang San looked at the "hidden weapons" on the table, his spirits sinking.
Not even his teacher could help him recover his lost memories.
Had he really been reckless in absorbing a soul ring beyond his level this time?
Only after putting the hidden weapons back into his Storage Soul Tool did Tang San speak.
"I understand, Teacher."
Suddenly, Tang San seemed to think of something. His eyes lit up, and some of his dejection lifted.
"Teacher, do you know about spatial martial souls?"
"Purely spatial martial souls."
Yu Xiaogang paused and looked at Tang San. After a little thought, he spoke.
"Tell me in detail."
He knew something about spatial martial souls, but he had never actually seen a purely spatial one.
Tang San recounted what had happened at the Rose Hotel, then fixed his gaze on Yu Xiaogang.
"Swapping positions with someone-spatial exchange?"
"Invisible walls-a Spatial Cage?"
Yu Xiaogang stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"This person is probably following the control system or the defensive system. He doesn't have much offensive power."
"Either of those two paths would suit him perfectly."
"Spatial exchange, spatial prisons, and the ability to control dozens of people..."
As he spoke, even Yu Xiaogang began wanting to meet Chu Sheng.
"Dai Mubai is a level thirty-seven Battle Soul Elder, and his martial soul is the White Tiger."
"Even he was helpless inside Brother Chu's Spatial Cage."
Tang San added.
Such a method of control was far too uncanny, impossible to guard against.
Until he found a way to counter it, caution was his best course.
"Spatial martial souls are indeed difficult to deal with..."
Yu Xiaogang nodded in agreement, but offered no solution.
When time did not appear, space reigned supreme.
Hunting spatial Soul Beasts was several times harder than hunting ordinary ones!
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang had no ideas either, Tang San sighed.
His teacher wasn't all-powerful and didn't know everything.
The next day.
Flender formally introduced Yu Xiaogang, and the Shrek Five Monsters looked forward to their upcoming training with eager faces.
This was Tang San's teacher. How could he be anything less than outstanding?
"Tang San, you are not allowed to use your third soul skill against Dai Mubai."
Tang San had no objections to this requirement.
Yu Xiaogang had always held him to strict standards.
Dai Mubai, however, was extremely displeased.
Did he think so little of Dai Mubai?
Tang San was strong, and after absorbing his third soul ring, he had reached level thirty-two.
But... Dai Mubai was a level thirty-seven Battle Soul Elder!
"Grandmaster, I'm five levels above Tang San, yet you won't let him use his third soul skill?"
Dissatisfaction was written all over Dai Mubai's face. He had always been proud and arrogant, and had never suffered such an indignity.
He could have accepted it if his opponent were older, but Tang San was younger than him, and his soul power level wasn't as high either...
"Tang San, use your third soul skill on Dai Mubai."
Rather than waste words with Dai Mubai, Yu Xiaogang addressed Tang San.
With Tang San using his third soul skill, Dai Mubai wouldn't stand a chance!
How could they conduct special training without banning it?
In mere moments, Tang San's third soul skill proved its worth.
The bout ended with Dai Mubai unable to break free.
"Now, do you still have any objections?"
With his hands clasped behind his back, Yu Xiaogang looked down at Dai Mubai, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and asked.
Dai Mubai: "..."
Silence. Deathly silence.
Was he really that useless?
Tang San's third soul skill, Spider Web Restraint, was simply too effective against Soul Masters like him.
If Ma Hongjun fought Tang San instead, he could at least hold his own for a little while.
Dai Mubai vs. Tang San, round two.
The moment the battle began, Tang San's first soul ring flashed.
"First soul skill: Blue Silver Entanglement!"
"???"
Everyone looked bewildered. This wasn't like Tang San's fighting style.
Against a Battle Soul Master like Dai Mubai, shouldn't he probe his opponent for a while before using a soul skill?
They didn't understand, but they respected his choice!
Dai Mubai was equally taken aback. He had fought Tang San before and was familiar with his fighting style.
This time, Tang San's style had changed considerably.
Without the slightest hesitation, Dai Mubai's first and third soul rings flashed.
Tang San's first and second soul skills couldn't possibly restrain him.
They had already tested that at the Rose Hotel.
With his two enhancement soul skills active, Dai Mubai still held an overwhelming advantage over the Blue Silver Vines strengthened by the Man Faced Demon Spider's soul ring.
His tiger claws tore through the vines, and Dai Mubai charged at Tang San like a tractor.
Tang San froze for a moment. He should dodge now... but how was he supposed to dodge again?
Instinctively, he took two steps back.
Dai Mubai: "???"
That was it?
Where was Tang San's strange footwork?
Why wasn't he using it? Did he look down on Dai Mubai?
"Second soul skill: Parasitism!"
Only when Dai Mubai drew close did Tang San finally use his second soul skill.
Without using his third soul skill, he genuinely couldn't think of how to deal with Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai tore apart the Blue Silver Grass on his body and swung a palm at Tang San...
Seeing this, Tang San instinctively tried to block with his hand.
(Mysterious Jade Hand)
But without Mysterious Jade Hand, his palm was no different from an ordinary Soul Master's.
"Crack..."
Dai Mubai stopped attacking and looked at Tang San in confusion.
Broken?
Tang San's hand had broken??
Was that right?
