"In that case, I'll take Tang San to hunt for a Soul Ring tomorrow."
Li Changsheng looked at Luo Sanpao at his feet, already considering his plans for tomorrow.
After that, Li Changsheng did not go out again. Instead, he began studying the system.
In truth, Li Changsheng did not know the system's specific functions. It had templates and progress rewards; apart from the sign-in rewards he had read about in his previous life, it seemed to have everything.
"Then could I get the comic version of Tang San's template? And apply it to Tang San?"
Thinking about it, the comic version of Tang San was indeed very handsome. Even his childhood appearance was easy on the eyes.
One could say that the comic version differed completely from the original novel, whether in appearance, personality, or even certain plotlines. It could almost be called a fan creation.
Yu Xiaogang was the most obvious example of all.
Why one was called Gangzi and the other Grandmaster was not hard to understand when comparing the two.
"System, now that I have Yu Xiaogang's template, wouldn't Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong..."
[Connections between characters depend on whether the host has any intention in that regard.]
That simple sentence immediately made Li Changsheng understand what the system meant.
Once his template progress advanced further, he could decide for himself whether to accept the relationships with Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong.
"How accommodating. That saves a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Li Changsheng was quite satisfied with this system function. Eighteen years of maneuvering had finally come to an end today. From now on, he could roam Douluo in style with beauties in his arms!
Closing the system, Li Changsheng began organizing the things he would need tomorrow. He intended to find a Plant-type Soul Beast for Tang San.
After all, Tang San's Martial Soul was not some Blue Silver Grass, but the sovereign among Blue Silver Grass-the Blue Silver Emperor!
If he could absorb a life-type Plant-type Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline within him could definitely be stimulated.
When the time came to evolve his Martial Soul in the Blue Silver Ancestral Land, he could begin that evolution directly as a Blue Silver King, rather than ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Early the next morning.
After a quick wash, Li Changsheng made his way along the familiar route to the foot of the student dormitory.
Leaning against a large tree, he began reading the theoretical books the system had given him.
These had been separated out from the four-in-one divine book on Soul Masters, Soul Beasts, Soul Rings, and medicinal herbs, making four volumes in total. Although the system had engraved all these theories into his mind, that did not stop him from consulting the books.
In Dorm Seven, Tang San had also risen early. He was sitting cross-legged on his bed, a faint purple light shimmering in his eyes.
Purple Demon Eye!
Tang San needed to cultivate using the first wisp of Purple Qi that rose each morning.
"Phew-"
Slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, Tang San was not in a particularly good mood. His Mysterious Heaven Skill had remained stuck at a bottleneck, unable to break through. Could it have something to do with this world's levels?
Nearby, Xiao Wu, the new classmate he had met just yesterday, was sleeping soundly, constantly mumbling the word "carrots."
Had Li Changsheng not bought him a few extra sets of bedding yesterday, Xiao Wu probably would have ended up sharing his bed.
"Look, it's Teacher Li! Why has he come to our dormitory today? He's the academy's famous theoretical master!"
Just then, Wang Sheng's surprised voice rang out. Hearing the words "Teacher Li," Tang San froze. His teacher was here?
Without a thought for anything else, Tang San jumped off the bed and tried to squeeze his way over to Wang Sheng. "Where? Let me see!"
"Why has Teacher come? Is something the matter?"
When he spotted Li Changsheng beneath the tree, Tang San hurriedly finished dressing and jogged out of Dorm Seven.
"Teacher!"
Li Changsheng, who was leaning against the tree and reading about Soul Beast theory, put away his book at the call and looked toward the entrance of Dorm Seven. He saw Tang San hurrying over, his hair still somewhat disheveled.
"Teacher, did you say yesterday that you were coming to see Little San? I'm sorry, Little San didn't hear you!"
Seeing the self-reproach all over Tang San's face, Li Changsheng smiled gently. He reached out to straighten his messy short black hair and said, "Little San, I only decided to come and see you at the last minute. This isn't your fault."
After briefly explaining, Li Changsheng revealed his plans for the day. "You have innate full soul power. It's time you absorbed a Soul Ring."
"My first Soul Ring?"
"That's right. You'll encounter plenty of general knowledge in your future classes, but as my student, you'll receive more systematic and comprehensive theoretical guidance from me!"
"We'll start with Soul Rings. Every ten levels, a Soul Master reaches a bottleneck. Only after absorbing a Soul Ring can they enter the next realm. That's also why I've come to see you."
So the bottleneck in my Mysterious Heaven Skill is because I haven't absorbed a Soul Ring?!
Understanding dawned on Tang San. It seemed he still did not count as a true Soul Master. Teacher Changsheng was truly thoughtful, always keeping an eye on his cultivation!
"We'll discuss the rest on the way. Have you had breakfast?"
"Grrr-"
No sooner had Li Changsheng spoken than Tang San's stomach let out an uncooperative rumble. Tang San immediately lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Hahaha, it's all right. Were you cultivating early this morning? I understand. I still have some dry rations here. You can eat while we talk on the road!"
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Tang San raised his head, his gaze full of admiration as he looked at Li Changsheng. Teacher Changsheng really was a gentle person. If only his own father could treat him this way.
The two walked out of Nuoding Academy. After hailing a carriage by the roadside, Li Changsheng set off for the Soul Hunting Forest.
Inside the carriage, Tang San watched the scenery outside, curiosity and anticipation mingling in his eyes.
Soon, he too would have a Soul Ring of his own and become a true Soul Master!
"By the way, Little San, I was just talking about Soul Rings. Next, I should explain the Soul Master realms to you."
"Starting from level ten, Soul Masters are divided into nine stages in total. The highest is Titled Douluo!"
"Titled Douluo!"
Shock appeared on Tang San's face, yet inwardly, he felt a measure of understanding. This world's Soul Master system actually corresponded exactly to the nine layers of his Mysterious Heaven Skill. Was it a coincidence?
"Of course, above that, there are also the legendary gods! Those are still far too distant for now. We'll discuss them later!"
Tang San nodded, then asked the question that concerned him more. "Teacher, what kind of Soul Ring should I absorb as my first?"
Almost everyone called his Martial Soul a trash Martial Soul, but Teacher Changsheng was different. He never said such things. Instead, he taught him not to abandon himself to degradation because of his Martial Soul.
Still, now that it was actually time to absorb a Soul Ring, Tang San remained a little nervous.
"Little San, if my guess is correct, you have more than one Martial Soul, don't you?"
The moment those words fell, the carriage interior went silent, and Tang San's gaze froze.
