Chapter 61 Yu Xiaogang's Book Collection
After tidying up the stove, Tang San checked it carefully one last time.
Clean up the bloodstains on the ground, then rinse the ground with clean water to wipe away any remaining bloodstains. Take out the ashes from other stoves and carefully sprinkle them on the ground to cover up the traces.
"That's about right!"
He checked the blacksmith shop one last time to make sure there were no flaws before leaving with his sack on his back.
Tang San returned to the hut, disassembled and maintained the Zhuge Crossbow, wiped the blood off the arrows, changed into clean clothes, and then sat down by the bed.
Tang San closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became steady.
"no!"
"Yu Xiaogang claims to be the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader; he must possess some valuable items!"
After resting for only a few minutes, Tang San suddenly remembered what Yu Xiaogang had said before he died. He quickly got up and rushed to Notting Academy again.
The night remained deep.
Tang San avoided the patrolling guards and quickly returned to the Notting Academy teachers' dormitory, climbing back into Yu Xiaogang's room.
Everything inside was as it had been, and the lingering smell of blood still lingered in the air.
He frowned, first opening the window to ventilate the room, then using a rag on the table dipped in water to wipe the floor.
He didn't rush to rummage through the drawers and cabinets, but quickly scanned the entire room.
Using his experience in finding hidden compartments and mechanisms, which he had learned in the Tang Clan in his previous life, he kept groping and tapping the seams of the walls, floors, and furniture.
"Tap...tap...empty!"
Tang San listened to the different sounds to determine the internal structure. When he knocked on a wall panel behind the bookshelf, the sound was slightly different.
"Found it!"
The hollow echo brought a glimmer of joy to Tang San's eyes. He used his Xuan Yu Hand to block in front of him, and gently pressed his other hand against the wall.
Clang!
With a soft click, the wall panel popped open inward, revealing a hidden compartment.
The hidden compartment was small, lined with black velvet, and contained a few items.
The most eye-catching item is a simple and elegant belt, entirely black, inlaid with twenty-four thumb-sized milky-white jade stones.
Its color is warm and lustrous; it is clearly a rare and exquisite jade.
"This is?"
Tang San frowned and picked up the belt.
The moment I held the belt, I could tell it was something special.
There were many faint air currents flowing around the belt, and these air currents used the belt itself as a bridge and the jade as a storage, emitting a faint soul power fluctuation.
"A soul tool?"
Tang San's heart stirred, recalling the soul tool mentioned by the mercenary in the tavern, and he tried to inject his own soul power into his belt.
The jade on the belt lit up.
Twenty-four spaces, each roughly one cubic meter in size, appeared in Tang San's mind.
Inside, there were some gold soul coins, a few changes of clothes, some scattered notes, and a small booklet with a yellowed cover.
Tang San was overjoyed: "It really is a storage soul tool!"
He continued to examine the hidden compartment, where he found a ring and a bracelet. After testing, they were both storage soul tools, only their internal spaces differed.
besides.
Inside, there was also a palm-sized silver disc and a small throwing knife. The disc emitted a soft white light after being infused with soul power, presumably for illumination.
The throwing knife was engraved with a wolf's head, so it looked like an offensive soul tool.
Just in case, Tang San did not test it immediately, but instead put everything in the hidden compartment into his belt storage soul tool.
He wore both a storage ring and a bracelet on his body.
"I didn't expect him to have so much stuff!"
After putting those things away, Tang San's gaze fell on the bookshelf against the wall.
Yu Xiaogang, as the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader, was addressed as "Master" by his students and mercenaries, though mostly with sarcasm. Tang San felt that he had some theoretical reputation and that his collection of books must be quite substantial.
He casually pulled out a few books from the bookshelf and flipped through them.
A Basic Overview of Soul Masters
"Illustrated Guide to Common Soul Beasts in Mainland China"
Pubfuture Ads
Overview of Soul Beast Distribution in Sunset Forest
Records of Soul Beast Distribution in the Star Dou Great Forest
"Revision and Supplement to the Theory of the Ten Core Competencies"
Choosing a Soul Beast for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Spirit
"Development of the Blue Lightning Overlord Clan Martial Spirit"
Dragon Seed Martial Spirit Mutation Direction
"Possibility Exploration of Martial Spirit Fusion Techniques"
Internal teaching materials of the Spirit Hall Soul Master Academy (Spirit Chapter)
"...
"...
"...
There were many books, and as Tang San flipped through these notes, his eyes changed slightly.
He had to admit that Yu Xiaogang's expertise in the study of martial Spirit theory was indeed unique.
It's not just about having a large collection of books.
The edges of these pages were curled up from being turned so many times, and they were covered with dense annotations written in ink, which clearly showed Yu Xiaogang's hard work and dedication.
For example, "Internal Teaching Materials of the Spirit Hall Soul Master Academy (Spirit Chapter)".
Although it is internal teaching material of the Spirit Hall, its insightful analysis of the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, and restraint relationships of various Spirits, along with Yu Xiaogang's supplementary notes, far exceeds Tang San's understanding of the Spirit master world.
There is also the book "Statistics on the Correlation between Martial Spirit Quality and Innate Soul Power (Sample of 783 Cases)".
The book is written in neat and powerful handwriting, and records in detail Yu Xiaogang's observations, classifications and conjectures about various martial Spirits, as well as the innate soul power levels of different martial Spirit owners.
It records the decisive influence of martial Spirit quality on innate soul power and proposes quantitative standards for martial Spirit quality.
In particular, the theories about the limits of Spirit ring absorption and the mutation of martial Spirits greatly benefited Tang San.
"What a pity!"
"He's not entirely useless..."
Tang San muttered to himself, his fingers tracing the words on the notebook: "At least in theory, you know more than most people."
A barely perceptible sense of regret swept through my heart.
If Yu Xiaogang hadn't been so arrogant and hadn't slandered his brother, perhaps he wouldn't have ended up like this.
But it's too late to say all this now.
"You shouldn't have spoken ill of my brother."
"No matter how much theoretical knowledge you have, it's useless without practical skills!"
Tang San shook his head, closed the book, and stored all the notes and books he deemed valuable on the bookshelf into his storage soul tool.
The path you choose is your own, and once you've made it, there's no going back.
He pushed over a few useless books on the bookshelf, opened the wardrobe halfway, and scattered the clothes inside all over the floor, creating the illusion that the scene had been hastily tidied up.
After all this was done, the study felt much emptier.
Tang San walked to the desk, where some notes written by Yu Xiaogang were piled up. He picked up a notebook with the most recent handwriting and started reading.
The Blue Silver Grass martial Spirit is not a useless martial Spirit; it offers three possible choices:
[One type is the control-type Soul Master, who absorbs control-type Soul Skills, focusing on binding and cage-type Soul Skills, and can greatly enhance control by pairing them with resilience-type Soul Rings...]
Secondly, there are offensive-type Soul Masters who need to absorb Soul Rings from highly poisonous Soul Beasts...
Thirdly, there are food-type Soul Masters, pure support-type Soul Masters, who can serve as rations for military camps...
Tang San flipped to the cover of the notebook, which read "Re-evaluation of the Potential of Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit and Selection of Soul Master Path".
Clearly, this notebook was created specifically because of the appearance of the two brothers.
It details the uniqueness of the older brother's food-type blue martial Spirit, Silver Grass, and the extraordinary vitality of his own Blue Silver Grass. It also proposes two hypotheses: the evolution of the martial Spirit's essence and unknown mutation. The text is filled with confusion, excitement, and resentment.
