"By the way, Master," Tang San suddenly asked, "When I'm looking for Soul Rings for my Blue Silver Grass in the future, should I try to consider those that can counter the effects of the Blue Silver Grass?"
Master chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Hehe, Tang San, you're still too young. If you go by your way of thinking, wouldn't all nine of your Blue Silver Grass's Soul Rings have to counter the Soul Skills that threaten it?"
"Your Blue Silver Grass is afraid of fire, so you add fire resistance. It's afraid of sharpness, so you add hardness. But have you considered, if you waste one or two Soul Ring slots on these things that can threaten your Blue Silver Grass, what will you use to fight and contend with your enemies in the future?"
"But Master, if I don't deal with these things, how can my Blue Silver Grass become the strongest control?" Tang San asked, puzzled.
"Tang San, you're thinking too much; these aren't things you need to consider right now." Master patted Tang San's head and said lightly, "I have already planned your future development. What you need to do now is believe in your Master's theories and focus on your cultivation. With me here, nothing is difficult, understand?"
"Moreover, if you want to become the strongest control-type Soul Master, you need a group of reliable partners. Without a group of reliable partners by your side, you would need to cultivate your Soul Power level to the Title Douluo level. At that point, the problem of your lack of attack power will naturally be solved."
"Also, aren't you always fiddling with Hidden Weapons? Although they don't seem like much in my eyes, I have to say, they have amazing power. Coupled with your Blue Silver Grass's binding, after controlling the enemy, your Hidden Weapons will also play their greatest role."
Hearing Master's explanation, Tang San felt a sudden sense of clarity. Master was right! Although his Blue Silver Grass lacked attack power, he could make up for that shortcoming with Hidden Weapons. Besides, for him, hitting a stationary target was much more comfortable than hitting a moving one.
"Teacher, can I use Hidden Weapons when I fight Cheng Xiao?" Tang San asked.
"No." Master shook his head firmly and said, "Xiao San, you're just sparring. Winning or losing is normal. Your Hidden Weapons are incredibly powerful; it's easy to accidentally kill someone with them."
"Oh." Tang San was a little disappointed that Master had forbidden him from using Hidden Weapons. "But Teacher, if I don't use Hidden Weapons, I still won't be able to win against Cheng Xiao. The two short swords he uses were crafted by me, and my Blue Silver Grass can't withstand their sharpness."
Hearing this, Master frowned, a little displeased. Tang San was good in every way, except he was prone to getting stuck on details. But as his teacher, and having been reminded by Tang Hao, Master patiently said, "Xiao San, you're still young. Remember not to be overly ambitious. The most important thing for you right now is to increase your soul power level. Sparring with Cheng Xiao is precisely the thing you least need to worry about. Do you know why?"
"You're a genius with Twin Martial Souls, a once-in-a-century occurrence, and you have the theoretical Master of the Soul Master world as your teacher. Your future development will only get better and stronger than Cheng Xiao's."
"I assure you, when you reach the level of Title Douluo and begin to cultivate your second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, as the number of Soul Rings attached to your two Martial Souls increases, and your own level rises higher and higher, at that point, your Blue Silver Grass won't just be unaffected by being countered, but even if it's slashed by a blade, burned by fire, or fried in oil, it won't be affected at all."
"Is that so?" Tang San nodded. For some reason, he always had a strange feeling, as if everything would happen in the future, and all he needed to do now was to increase his soul power level. But why did he always have such a strange feeling? In fact, this feeling is often called "CPU," or, in other words, "drawing a big pie."
"Alright, Xiao San, don't dwell on these things anymore." Master looked at Tang San, who was still stuck on the details, and slowly said, "After Cheng Xiao returns from hunting his second Soul Ring, the Headmaster will arrange a spar for the two of you. At that time, you can only use your Martial Soul. Only then can you clearly see how strong you are."
"Understood, teacher," Tang San said softly.
Over in the Work-Study Student Dormitory.
After returning to Notting Academy from the Star Dou Great Forest, Wang Sheng and the others were filled with envy upon learning that Cheng Xiao and Xiao Wu had obtained their second Soul Rings and become Soul Grand Masters.
They had studied at Notting Academy for six years, and only after arduous training had they barely become One-Ring Soul Masters. Furthermore, most of their Soul Rings were Ten-Year Soul Rings. For Wang Sheng and the others, a Hundred-Year Soul Beast's Soul Ring was something they could only dream of.
"Brother Cheng, Sister Xiao Wu," Wang Sheng walked up to the two of them, grinning, "You guys are really talented, becoming Soul Grand Masters just two years after entering the academy."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao reached out and patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder, smiling as he comforted him, "It's nothing, just a Hundred-Year Soul Ring. You'll have them in the future too. Then, you'll have Thousand-Year Soul Rings, and Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings."
"Brother Cheng, we treat you like our big brother, and you treat us like cattle and horses, right?" Hearing Cheng Xiao's words of comfort, a hint of bitterness appeared on Wang Sheng's face. Although he knew Cheng Xiao was trying to comfort them, it sounded a bit strange.
Wang Sheng said, "By the way, Brother Cheng, the Headmaster said to have you go see him after you and Sister Xiao Wu returned. He said he has something to discuss with you."
"The Headmaster wants to see me?" Cheng Xiao was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, he didn't say anything specific, just that he wanted us to tell you when you got back." Wang Sheng scratched his head, also puzzled by the Headmaster's words.
"Alright, I'll go to the Headmaster's office then." Cheng Xiao nodded, then looked at Xiao Wu beside him, who was pouting. He reached out and gently pinched her soft little face, saying, "Didn't you say you were tired when you got back? Go take a nap."
"Okay, I'll go to sleep first, but you have to wake me up when you get back," Xiao Wu said.
"Okay," Cheng Xiao replied softly, then quickly left the Work-Study Student Dormitory and walked towards the Headmaster's office of Notting Academy.
After Cheng Xiao left, Wang Sheng watched Xiao Wu standing there, looking like a statue waiting for her husband. He coughed lightly and said, "Sister Xiao Wu, don't look anymore. Brother Cheng isn't not coming back."
"Of course I know he'll come back," Xiao Wu glared at Wang Sheng, then clenched her small fists and said with a smile, "Wang Sheng, I just broke through to Soul Grand Master. How about we spar?"
"No, Sister Xiao Wu! I was wrong! I won't talk nonsense anymore!"
