"Second Soul Skill, Parasite!"
With Tang San's low shout, the second soul ring beneath his feet shone with a yellow light. The next moment, the large tree that had been entangled by the Blue Silver Grass began to emit blue light. A mass of dark blue light surged forth, and in an instant, the tree was once again wrapped by the Blue Silver Grass. However, this time, it wasn't Tang San's First Soul Skill, Entangle, but rather his Second Soul Skill, Parasite.
"Look, Xiao San, the effects of your Second Soul Skill, Parasite, shouldn't be underestimated." Master pointed at the tree that was re-entangled by the Blue Silver Grass, while also cautioning Tang San. "Generally, if Soul Masters are unaware of the effects of your Second Soul Skill, Parasite, it can achieve a surprise effect. If your opponent is careless, your Blue Silver Grass can even play a key role."
Hearing this, Tang San nodded slightly, but looking at the tree that was once again entangled by his Blue Silver Grass, he felt a strange sense of unease.
If his First Soul Skill was the effect of Entangle, then the effect of his Second Soul Skill was seed entanglement plus poison? But the effect of this poison seemed insignificant, not even able to corrode the bark of a tree. If he encountered a Soul Master with soul power circulating within their body, wouldn't it be unlikely to even have an effect?
Thinking this, Tang San couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, I want to ask, if the effects of my two soul skills are both used to entangle the enemy, then isn't this ability somewhat repetitive? As you said, it has a surprise effect if the opponent is unaware, but you see, even the bark of the tree hasn't been corroded. If used against Soul Masters, wouldn't the effect be even worse?"
"Moreover, if I encounter a powerful enemy whose strength can break free from my Blue Silver Grass entanglement, what will I use to attack the enemy?"
"Xiao San, you don't understand this." Hearing Tang San's doubts, Master explained. "Besides the quality of the Martial Soul and the level of soul power, there is another aspect to Soul Master battles: the development of the Martial Soul's cultivation."
"For example, there are Aggressive Attack Soul Masters, Agile Attack Soul Masters, Defense Soul Masters, Support Soul Masters, and Control Soul Masters. These five Soul Master development paths are completely different. Aggressive Attack Soul Masters excel in combat, Agile Attack Soul Masters are skilled in assassination, Defense Soul Masters are good at defense, Support Soul Masters specialize in assisting, and Control Soul Masters are adept at controlling. Based on years of research into martial soul theory, I believe that Control Soul Masters are the most formidable of the five Soul Master types."
"The other types of Soul Masters seem to have their own strengths, but the problem is that they're all just brutes. They don't need to think; they just need to crush their enemies. But for a Control Soul Master, your mind must always be flexible and calm. You must be able to judge the most accurate outcome at any time. So, don't think that the first two soul rings I chose for you are primarily for binding and only provide a little bit of attack power."
"But you need to know that in the world of Soul Masters, most are attack-oriented. As a Control Soul Master, once your soul power level increases, even Soul Masters specializing in attack will absolutely not be able to break free from the Blue Silver Grass's bindings. Although the Blue Silver Grass is a standard Useless Martial Soul, Tang San, you are not useless! Don't forget, there are no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters!"
Master excitedly uttered his famous saying. In his opinion, there were never any useless martial souls in the Soul Master world, only useless Soul Masters. If your martial soul was difficult to cultivate, that was because you were useless, what did that have to do with the martial soul?
If it weren't for his innate half-level soul power, which led to his martial soul undergoing a malignant mutation, he would have long since broken through to become a Great Soul Master, and it was even possible that he would have become a Title Douluo. All of this was due to his poor talent. Otherwise, he, Master, would have eventually reached the pinnacle of the continent!
Hearing Master repeat that there were no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters, Tang San's heart immediately became filled with passion. He was wrong. He shouldn't have doubted his Master's martial soul theory. So what if it was the Blue Silver Grass's binding?
As long as he could firmly control his enemies, that would be enough. Imagine, a Soul Master with a top-tier attack martial soul being controlled by a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master. What a scene that would be! At that moment, who would still say that the Blue Silver Grass was useless!
"Tang San, remember what I told you," Master's expression suddenly turned serious. "Your Blue Silver Grass binding is very powerful, but there's no guarantee that the enemies you face won't have special attack methods. Martial souls have counters, and Soul Masters are the same. Therefore, don't blindly trust your binding control. After all, you never know the strength of your opponent."
Hearing this, Tang San asked, "Master, if you say so, then my Blue Silver Grass control should be invincible at the same level, right?"
"Nothing is absolute." Master shook his head, took out a small knife from his pocket, and casually cut one of the Blue Silver Grass vines that were binding a tree.
Immediately, the originally tough Blue Silver Grass was easily severed, and after being cut into two pieces, the Blue Silver Grass fell from the tree.
"Master, I understand. Although my Blue Silver Grass has toughness, it lacks hardness, so it's easily cut by sharp weapons, right?" Tang San's eyes lit up. Master's actions reminded him of the sparring match with Cheng Xiao two years ago, when his Blue Silver Grass was mercilessly cut by the opponent. It was from that moment that Tang San realized that his Blue Silver Grass was, after all, a plant. No matter how strong its toughness was, it could still be easily severed in the face of a sharp blade.
Master smiled and nodded. As expected of his disciple, Yu Xiaogang, he was exceptionally intelligent. With just a simple demonstration, he understood the principle.
"Xiao San, your Blue Silver Grass is a plant. Unless you encounter a Soul Master with a Flame Martial Soul, the thing it fears most is powerful tool Martial Souls that have strong attack power, like swords and other weapons, which will have a restraining effect on your Blue Silver Grass. However, you don't need to be afraid. Soul Masters who awaken tool Martial Souls are rare, and those who awaken swords are even rarer. Therefore, you don't need to worry about Cheng Xiao's Dual Swords. When your soul power increases, his weapons will become useless."
After listening to Master, Tang San suddenly understood. It was like his Tang Sect Hidden Weapons. Except for the top-ranked special Hidden Weapons, ordinary Hidden Weapons couldn't break through a Soul Master's defense. Only those top-tier Hidden Weapons with special properties could pose a life-threatening danger to a Soul Master.
Comparing the two, Tang San understood. The current Cheng Xiao was like an ordinary Hidden Weapon. Although ordinary, it was still effective against low-level Soul Masters. But once the gap in soul power levels widened, the two became completely different. It was like a firefly trying to compete with the bright moon, incomparable.
