Notting Academy, Headmaster's Office.
"Xiao Gang, Tang San has already obtained his Second Soul Ring. Don't you want to see how strong he is now?" Ma Nuo put down the documents in his hand and looked at Master, who was sitting in a chair and reading a book.
"There's nothing to see." Closing the book, Master looked up at Ma Nuo and said lightly, "Xiao San has privately sparred with Cheng Xiao, but he always lost."
"But this time, Xiao San obtained the Ghost Vine's parasitic ability with his Second Soul Ring. Once activated, it will catch people off guard. Moreover, combined with his First Soul Skill, it can achieve unexpected effects. Previously, Xiao San's Blue Silver Grass lacked the ability to determine the outcome, but with the parasitism, Cheng Xiao will no longer have a chance of winning."
Hearing this, Ma Nuo frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Gang, Cheng Xiao is also a genius with innate full soul power, and he has a top-tier beast Martial Soul."
"As far as I know, Cheng Xiao left the academy half a month ago, taking another genius with innate full soul power to hunt soul beasts. I don't think their strength is as bad as you say, is it?"
"Besides, didn't you say that Tang San sparred with Cheng Xiao privately, but lost? In my opinion, it's better to take advantage of the opportunity that they have both obtained their Second Soul Rings and have a good spar to see who is stronger, Tang San or Cheng Xiao. What do you think?"
"Xiao San won't lose." Master shook his head and said calmly, "If you want to see it, then arrange it. I also want to see what effect Xiao San's Second Soul Skill will have on the human body after it's used."
"That's the spirit, Xiao Gang." Ma Nuo laughed heartily. "It's settled then. I'll arrange it as soon as Cheng Xiao and Xiao Wu return from hunting for Soul Rings."
Upon hearing this, Master nodded. He then stood up, gave Ma Nuo a slight nod, and left the Headmaster's Office.
"Teacher, you wanted to see me?"
Tang San gently knocked on Master's door. As soon as he entered, he saw Master sitting in his chair, his eyes fixed on him.
"Xiao San, you're here." Master stood up from his chair, walked over to Tang San, and reached out to pat his head.
After two years of being together, Master had come to think of Tang San as his own son. Therefore, patting Tang San on the head had become a habitual gesture.
"Rest for a while. Your cultivation speed is already astonishing." Master pulled Tang San to sit down. Looking at Tang San, who was not even up to his shoulders, Master couldn't help but sigh. An eight-year-old child had reached the Soul Grand Master realm after only two years of cultivation, while he… had taken decades to barely reach that level.
"Teacher, I'm not tired." Tang San gently shook his head, then smiled. "Teacher, without your guidance, I wouldn't have been able to cultivate so quickly. I'd say, the reason I can cultivate so fast is all thanks to your excellent teaching."
"You, this child." Hearing Tang San's flattery, Master smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Our Notting Academy's Headmaster wants to see you and Cheng Xiao have a sparring match. As your teacher, I should inform you in advance, so you can prepare yourself mentally."
Tang San said, "Teacher, I've sparred with Cheng Xiao many times. His Martial Soul is very special. I've never seen him with his Martial Soul manifested. Most of the time, he relies on the two short swords he forged to fight."
"Oh? A beast Martial Soul that has never manifested?" A glint of light flashed in Master's eyes as he pondered.
"That's right." Tang San nodded and said, "According to my observation, his First Soul Skill should be a self-enhancement ability, capable of adding reinforcement effects to his body and weapons."
"The First Soul Skill is a self-enhancement skill? Which type of Soul Beast did he hunt for his first Soul Ring that he's so foolish?" Hearing this, Master couldn't help but shake his head, finding it laughable that Cheng Xiao's First Soul Ring was for an enhancement skill.
After all, he hadn't taken him as a disciple. He's only an eight-year-old child, how could he thoroughly understand the research of Martial Soul theory? Obtaining an enhancement skill from the First Soul Ring, and it's even a hundred-year Soul Beast, Master couldn't even imagine how low the enhancement effect brought by this hundred-year Soul Skill would be.
"Forget about Cheng Xiao, let's talk about you, Xiao San." Master's eyes lit up with wisdom, and he said, "Xiao San, after you obtained the Ghost Vine's Soul Ring, your Blue Silver Grass has become even more slender and resilient than before, right?"
"Yes, Teacher, after absorbing the Ghost Vine's Soul Ring, my Blue Silver Grass has become even more resilient than before." Tang San nodded and reached out to release his Martial Soul.
"Wait a moment." Master stopped Tang San's outstretched hand, then looked out the sunny window, and said leisurely, "Let's go to the back mountain of the academy. I also want to see the effect of your Second Soul Skill." After speaking, Master led Tang San out of the room and came to the back mountain of Notting Academy. Since it was afternoon, there was no one in the back mountain, making it very quiet.
"Come on, San, show me your Martial Soul." Master raised his hand and made a gesture to Tang San.
Tang San nodded slightly, then slowly spread out his right hand. As the blue light shone, the Blue Silver Grass, which changed from light blue to dark blue, emerged and quietly pulsed in his palm.
"As I expected." Seeing the changes in Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, Master leaned over slightly, carefully examined the Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's hand, and muttered to himself, "My Martial Soul theory is indeed correct. After absorbing the Ghost Vine's Soul Ring, the Blue Silver Grass is gradually moving towards the Ghost Vine's appearance."
Taking a deep breath, Master pointed to a large tree beside them with a calm expression and said, "San, use the Blue Silver Grass to wrap around that big tree, and then pull it hard to see how tough it is."
"Okay, Teacher." Hearing Master's words, Tang San obediently followed suit. With a Blue Silver Grass shooting out from his palm, within a breath's time, it had wrapped around the big tree that Master was pointing at. With the urging of the soul power in his body, he pulled hard with his hand, and the big tree wrapped by the Blue Silver Grass gradually became bent.
Seeing Tang San's obedience, Master couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. Then, he walked to the big tree wrapped by the Blue Silver Grass, looked at it carefully, made a gesture to Tang San, and signaled him to come over.
Seeing this, Tang San also put away his Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass and came to Master's side.
Master pointed at the tree bent by the Blue Silver Grass and said lightly, "Not bad. Although your Blue Silver Grass has become more slender, its toughness has improved significantly. Look at the place on the trunk where the Blue Silver Grass is wrapped. Isn't there a patch of black scorch? I think this is precisely because your Blue Silver Grass absorbed the Second Soul Ring and gained the corrosive poison of the Ghost Vine. Combined with the neurotoxin of the Mandala Snake, which you obtained from your First Soul Skill, the two toxins together are enough to deal with most of the Soul Masters you will face."
"Alright, Tang San, release your Second Soul Skill and see how the parasitic effect is."
