Scheming for the Blue Silver Emperor Seed

Lei Nuo left in the end, leaving Yu Xiaogang alone, still immersed in his fantasies.

After that, Yu Xiaogang began gulping down the tonics Lei Nuo had brought back.

He had had enough! He didn't want to lie there recuperating for another moment. He had to see that disciple.

Surely, lost and confused, he was already waiting for the guidance of his great and wise teacher.

That's right. Only I can teach him to become the strongest!

As Yu Xiaogang took the medicine, he used his fantasies to convince himself.

In his view, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was unlikely to receive much attention. After all, none of the teachers at the academy had studied it, so naturally, none of them could teach him anything worthwhile.

Surely he was already lost on the path of a Soul Master. This was just when he needed Yu Xiaogang's help!

With that hope in his heart, Yu Xiaogang found a reason to keep taking the medicine. Whether it was because the medicine really was effective or because his ailment had mostly been in his mind, in any case, he gulped it down without regard for the cost and actually recovered ahead of time.

But that was a story for later.

What about our Tang San?

Well, he really was lost on the path of a Soul Master.

But the reason wasn't what Yu Xiaogang imagined.

Someone had dealt him a blow.

Before absorbing a Soul Ring, he hadn't been able to beat Xiao Wu, though he thought that was partly because he hadn't used his full strength.

But now that he had absorbed his First Soul Ring, surely he could win?

In the end, he lost again, defeated by Xiao Wu.

The little bit of control and Soul Power absorption his first Soul Skill provided might as well not have existed. By comparison, the boost from Xiao Wu's first Soul Skill, Waist Bow, was downright monstrous. She was strong enough to throw him flying.

So he was deeply frustrated.

He could accept not being able to beat Lin Qingchen, but how was it that he couldn't even beat Xiao Wu?

I couldn't beat her without absorbing a Soul Ring, and I still can't beat her after absorbing one. Then isn't it the same as if I hadn't absorbed one at all?

He looked at the Blue Silver Grass in his hand and the Yellow Soul Ring, and cursed, somewhat shaken: "What use are you to me?!"

After cursing, he lay on his bed, somewhat regretful. Had he been wrong to follow the academy head's advice and absorb that Soul Ring?

After all, the man was just a stranger. Maybe he hadn't done his utmost to find him the most suitable Soul Ring and had just found one that would do?

That was what Tang San thought.

This showed the problem with Tang San not having taken Yu Xiaogang as his teacher.

Though Yu Xiaogang wasn't much of a teacher and liked to hold people back with his theories, which were half right, half wrong, and practically nonsense, he did teach some basic theory correctly.

At the elementary academy's current stage, Tang San didn't even know some things about absorbing Soul Rings. Back then, he had merely copied Lin Qingchen's actions, with a few reminders from Lei Nuo.

So when Lin Qingchen absorbed his Soul Ring, Tang San had actually seen a tiny bit of cold air with his Purple Demon Eye, but he had always thought it was normal...

One could only say that ignorance was truly frightening.

In any case, Tang San lay on his bed, growing more pessimistic the more he thought, his heart growing colder and colder.

Can I really learn anything worthwhile at Nuoding Academy?

He touched the Sleeve Arrow on his wrist.

Hidden Weapons are better. At least I really know how to use them.

"Mm..."

Tang San's body suddenly stiffened. He felt a soft body wrap around his waist.

"Why again..."

Xiao Wu smacked her lips, then mumbled, "Carrots, carrots... hehehe..."

"Forget it. Whatever. I'll just cultivate here slowly. I still have Xiao Wu, anyway."

Tang San gritted his teeth as he thought this.

Elsewhere, Lin Qingchen hadn't fallen asleep either, because he was thinking about something.

Did he really have to stay obediently at Nuoding Academy until graduation?

He felt conflicted.

After all, to be honest, there was nothing more he could learn here, nor were there any opportunities for him to seize.

Except... that Seed of Life.

That was Tang San's mother, Ah Yin.

After her sacrifice, she hadn't actually died completely, but had left behind a seed.

According to the information in the original work, Tang Hao had planted the seed in a cave carved out inside a waterfall.

Along with it was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone.

Even if the seed could no longer provide a Soul Ring, the Soul Bone alone was enough to make everyone yearn for it.

But that wasn't what Lin Qingchen cared about.

What he cared more about was that, according to the Wonder Maker, things entrusted with strong emotions or special meaning were more likely to transform into Wonder Seeds.

Tang Hao might be bad in every other way, but his reputation for pure love still deserved recognition. After all, he was a Family Hero recognized even by the Book of Talents, wasn't he?

So who were the objects of his affection?

One was Tang San, another was that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and the other was this Seed of Life.

But judging by Tang San's experiences in the original work, where he was treated worse than Mi You TV and would have died without photosynthesis, Lin Qingchen ruled him out on the spot.

That left the Seed of Life as a strong possibility. After all, that thing was the symbol of hope for Ah Yin's revival.

As for the location, it shouldn't be hard to find.

Tang Hao had always lived in Holy Soul Village and had barely ever left. If he often went to see Ah Yin, he couldn't have gone very far, so naturally he wouldn't have planted the seed somewhere distant.

The original work had also said it was a huge waterfall over two hundred meters tall. That made the target quite conspicuous.

With a map, he shouldn't have much trouble finding it.

Besides, he also had Great Water Element Escape. At worst, he could slowly search the places where the power of the water element was strongest.

Put that way, it was practically a Wonder waiting to be picked up for free.

The only thing he needed to worry about was running into Tang Hao.

That was a little tricky. He needed to think of a way to act when he could be sure the man was away.

As for when that would be, there was only the time when Tang San broke through to level twenty and absorbed a Soul Ring.

There was no way Tang Hao would feel safe letting Tang San go Soul Hunting alone. Even with a teacher accompanying him, he would surely follow.

After all, Tang San, whose talent was gradually showing, was already the only hope for revenge in Tang Hao's eyes. Naturally, his treatment couldn't compare to when he was little.

As for taking the Seed of Life and making an enemy of Tang San, or something like that...

What a joke!

Lin Qingchen had never said he wanted to coexist peacefully with Tang San. No matter what, he wasn't going to throw away this chance to obtain a Wonder.

Besides, what makes you say I took something of yours?

Once it became his Wonder, it was his. Tang San, let's see if your mother still acknowledges you as her son!

So...

He'd do it!

If a man died, his dick would point at the sky; if he didn't, he'd live for ten thousand years.

He decided to look for an opportunity while making preparations.

"Achoo!"

Elsewhere, Tang Hao, sitting on the roof of Nuoding Academy's dormitory building, suddenly sneezed.

He rubbed his nose. "Strange, is something thinking about me? Could Little San be missing me?"
