Yu Xiaogang seemed to be in a trance, repeatedly muttering the words "impossible."
Due to his own circumstances, he had been looked down upon since childhood.
He devoted himself to theoretical research, hoping to prove his worth in a different field.
To make the world dare not underestimate him.
If his theories were truly shattered today, then Yu Xiaogang would indeed become a complete failure.
"Teacher Uncle," Tang San and Yu Tianheng looked at the purple glow beneath Li Xun's feet, their pupils slightly contracting.
They stiffly turned their heads to look at Yu Xiaogang.
Hearing their call.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly snapped out of it, took a deep breath, and slowly returned to his usual calm expression.
"Ahem, Xiao San, Tianheng, his Mutated Spirit is not just about controlling plants; it also enhances physical abilities."
"I know some sects that focus on defense. Because they emphasize body tempering, their absorption limit for Spirit Rings is much higher than that of ordinary people."
Yu Xiaogang lowered his head and frowned, as if deep in thought: "But not to the extent of Li Xun's leap."
"Teacher, but didn't you just say..." Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang with some doubt.
"The uniqueness of one person cannot represent the entire Soul Master world."
Yu Xiaogang raised his hand, firmly stopping Tang San's words.
His gaze was fixed on the Thousand-Hand Wooden Sculpture in Li Xun's hand: "Martial Souls are diverse, with all kinds of miraculous abilities. Although my theory is comprehensive, it cannot possibly record every single one."
He had just momentarily lost his composure, revealing such a vulnerable side in front of his disciples.
After returning.
He would definitely add a note to the section on the Ten Core Competencies of Soul Spirits regarding the absorption limit of Spirit Rings.
If a Martial Soul mutation is related to physical abilities, it could also surpass this limit.
"I understand, Teacher," Tang San said thoughtfully.
Although he had doubts.
Through nearly three years of interaction, the Grandmaster had indeed helped him a lot on the path of cultivation.
Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's knowledge was indeed profound.
Even though there were some discrepancies now, he still chose to believe this teacher.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Li Xun, who was surrounded like the moon by stars, straightened his clothes, and slowly stepped forward.
This child was about the same age as Tang San, yet his Soul Power was already at level 20, undoubtedly Innate Full Soul Power.
He already had the qualifications to become his disciple.
Although the choices for the first two Spirit Rings were somewhat unsatisfactory.
He believed.
If Li Xun could accept his guidance and put more effort into the selection of subsequent Spirit Rings, his future achievements, though not as great as Tang San's.
Would still be quite respectable.
"Li Xun, little brother, I didn't expect you to really succeed in absorbing it!" Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes narrowed into a thin line as she smiled.
"Just luck... just luck," Li Xun scratched his head, not quite used to being the center of attention.
"Xiao Xun, I didn't expect you to really absorb a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring."
Qin Ming sighed with some regret: "But why did you choose Solitary Bamboo! If you had chosen a powerful Soul Beast, your strength would have improved by leaps and bounds!"
Li Xun just chuckled at Qin Ming's words, not responding.
He had no intention of revealing his secrets to others, and he had some guesses about Qin Ming's motives.
Qin Ming had never been concerned about the future of his students.
What he cared about was the rankings his team would achieve in the future Soul Master Competition.
Because it was related to Qin Ming's future as a commoner Soul Master.
"Brother, do you think I can choose a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring for my second Spirit Ring? After all, we've been eating the same things."
Ning Rongrong stepped forward and hugged Li Xun's arm, giving him a knowing look.
Looking at the clever little girl beside him, Li Xun couldn't help but chuckle. "It's possible. Your current level still has room for improvement. If you want to absorb a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, you'll have to put in a lot of effort in your training."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong pouted, her small nose wrinkling. "I'll give it a try."
"Li Xun, it seems your Martial Soul can still enhance your physical abilities, but your choices for the first two Spirit Rings have somewhat wasted this talent."
Just as the group was chatting casually.
Yu Xiaogang slowly approached Li Xun, standing proudly in front of him. "However! I have a way to make up for the shortcomings of your first two Spirit Rings."
Seeing Yu Xiaogang approach again, Li Xun felt a twitch in his temple. "Senior..."
Yu Xiaogang raised his hand to interrupt Li Xun. "Others call me Grandmaster. You can call me that too."
"Uh, Grandmaster... I think I'm doing just fine now."
Li Xun shook his head.
A stiff smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face. "Li Xun, you think you're fine because your current level is still low. When your Soul Power breaks through level 30, you'll realize how foolish your current choices are."
"A Soul Master can attach a total of nine Spirit Rings, which represent nine Soul Skills. Therefore, every Spirit Ring is crucial."
At this point.
Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. "As a Control System Soul Master, you've already lost two Soul Skills. In future battles, others will have nine skills against your seven."
"Can you still say your current choices are correct?"
Hearing this, Li Xun raised an eyebrow. "Grandmaster, don't passive skills count?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened, and he didn't answer Li Xun's question. "Perhaps I was too vague, and you couldn't understand."
"Think about it. When you reach level 30 or 40, and others have two or three more skills than you, how will you fight back?"
This was something Li Xun had considered before.
An ordinary Soul Master might feel helpless, but both he and Tang San were transmigrators with their own combat methods.
In the early stages, they wouldn't be too passive.
Of course, he wouldn't tell Yu Xiaogang this, not even his disciple Tang San.
"What Grandmaster says makes sense, but I've always considered long-term development. Even if I suffer a bit in the early stages, I'm willing to accept it."
Li Xun shook his head.
Seeing that Li Xun's tone wasn't as intense as before, a smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face.
However, his usual expressionless demeanor made the smile seem somewhat stiff.
"As long as you understand, there's still a chance to make up for it. It's up to you whether you're willing to try."
Huh? Is he trying to get me to become his disciple?
Li Xun's expression turned peculiar. Only now did he catch the underlying meaning in Yu Xiaogang's words.
"Thank you for your kindness, Grandmaster, but I'll stick to my earlier statement. I'm quite satisfied with my Spirit Ring choices." Li Xun declined politely.
Yu Xiaogang's smile faded, and his expression gradually turned serious. He spoke earnestly, "Li Xun, you're still young. There are things you don't understand yet. Making reckless choices will only harm you!"
"If you have a good teacher to guide you on your cultivation path, it will bring you immense benefits.
It will also save you from aimless exploration."
"My disciple Tang San is a prime example. His Blue Silver Grass, considered the most useless Martial Soul on the continent, has now, under my guidance, become almost on par with ordinary Martial Souls."
