Chapter 28 Tang 3's Depression
Chapter 28 Tang San's Dejection
When Tang San woke up, he lay in bed, recalling the battle that had just taken place, and felt so frustrated that he felt like he was about to vomit blood.
"Damn it. Why? What's going on? That Jiangzhu, wasn't she a healing-type Soul Master? How did she suddenly become so powerful? And, she also has a plant-type Martial Soul, my Blue Silver Grass..."
Although he was reluctant to admit it, the truth was that his Blue Silver Grass was utterly powerless against his opponent. In that battle, he didn't even have time to use any of the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques before he was defeated. It was a clean and decisive defeat.
He understood that with such a huge gap in strength, even if he used the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques, his chances of winning were extremely slim. How could he, in this mere Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Second Academy, not even be a starting player?
Even Zhu Zhuqing, whom he considered the weakest among the Shrek Seven Devils, has secured a starting position! Now I'm the weakest?
Once upon a time, he was full of confidence in his Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Hadn't he heard his teacher say that there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters? As long as he carefully selected his soul rings and chose the right development path, even Blue Silver Grass could eventually restrain the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!
But what about now? Forget about the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Some other plant-type martial soul that appeared out of nowhere can easily defeat me!
Is that other person's soul skill on the same level as his broken Blue Silver Entanglement? He's starting to realize: Blue Silver Grass really is useless! For example, when he absorbs the soul ring of the Mandragora Serpent, it increases the resilience of Blue Silver Grass, but that only applies to Blue Silver Grass.
No matter how resilient the Blue Silver Grass is, how long can it trap top-tier martial souls like the White Tiger and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex when the soul power levels are the same? Moreover, he has already witnessed that the attack methods of truly powerful control-type martial souls are on a completely different level from the simple and brutal "entanglement".
In fact, without the "Mysterious Heaven Skill," which led the world in cultivation methods, could his soul power level truly keep up with the pace, and be as fast as geniuses like Ma Hongjun and Ning Rongrong, whose innate soul power was at least level seven or eight? He hadn't thought about this question carefully before. However, now that he had actually met someone his age who had a soul power level a whole level higher than his own, Tang San finally couldn't sit still anymore.
The more Tang San thought about it, the more gloomy his face became.
He suddenly remembered that when he first met the Grandmaster, the Grandmaster pointed out that he should have twin martial souls, which astonished Tang San at the time. The Grandmaster's explanation was that he was born with full soul power, so naturally he shouldn't only have such a weak martial soul as Blue Silver Grass.
But thinking about it carefully, what kind of twin martial soul do I have? My level 10 soul power, wasn't it cultivated through practicing the "Mysterious Heaven Technique"? I already had level 10 soul power before my martial soul awakened!
Tang San couldn't hold back any longer the more he thought about it.
Oh, and didn't you tell me before that twin martial souls have one characteristic: the quality of the two martial souls should be roughly the same to achieve a balance? So how did you use Blue Silver Grass to determine that I should have another very powerful martial soul?
Frustration, anger, confusion—countless emotions piled up in Tang San's heart. The more Tang San thought about it, the less he understood, and the more he understood, the angrier he became!
"Third Brother, are you feeling better?"
At this moment, Xiao Wu entered the room, placed a bowl of steaming Kun soup beside Tang San's bed, and asked softly. Looking at Tang San's dark face, a look of worry appeared on Xiao Wu's face again.
"Xiao Wu, I'm fine. I was just thinking about some things."
Tang San shook his head, forced a smile, and said.
"Third Brother, don't overthink this. That Jiangzhu is just bullying a three-ring cultivator because she has a higher soul power level. What kind of skill is that?"
Xiao Wu waved her fist, speaking indignantly. Little did she know, her words made her third brother's face darken even more.
Damn it. So why are other people already at the fourth ring while I'm still at the third? At this rate of cultivation, even if the competition starts, there's absolutely no way I'll ever break through to the Soul Master level!
"The other woman!"
At this moment, the Grandmaster also entered the room, looking at Tang San with a somewhat grave expression. Tang San suppressed his doubts and anger as much as possible, sat up, and respectfully said, "Teacher!"
"Xiao San, don't get up yet. Rest well and recover from your injury."
The master helped Tang San back to bed and said, "Actually, Tang San's injuries aren't serious. Jiang Zhu actually held back when she attacked. Tang San's injuries will be fully recovered in a couple of days."
"Teacher, I have some questions."
Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang and said in as calm a tone as possible.
Yu Xiaogang was slightly taken aback. He didn't know why Tang San's tone of voice seemed a little strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Go ahead and ask the mistress."
Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly.
"Teacher, I have a question. If I only cultivate the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, is there really a chance for me to catch up with Jiang Zhu in terms of cultivation speed? At least, before the competition, how should I cultivate to break through to the fourth-ring Soul Master level as well?"
Tang San's question caused Yu Xiaogang's face to stiffen instantly.
In fact, he had never been able to figure out what exactly was going on with Jiangzhu; it was clearly a healing-type martial soul, so how did it suddenly become some kind of "Jiangzhu Immortal Herb"?
Furthermore, why is her fourth spirit ring a ten-thousand-year ring? That doesn't make sense; it doesn't conform to his theory and has exceeded the optimal ratio for a spirit master.
"Little San, don't be too hasty. If the teacher is not mistaken, that Jiangzhu must have sided with the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire and then used some methods to force her to grow faster."
A glint of wisdom flashed in the master's eyes as he spoke with great certainty.
"Trying to force seedlings to grow faster?"
Tang San was taken aback for a moment. Then, his eyes lit up slightly.
"That's right. The improvement of soul power level is gradual and traceable. Not long ago, this Jiangzhu's soul power level was actually not much different from yours. But why, in such a short period of time, did she improve to the level of Soul Master? Is that possible?"
The master became more and more confident as he spoke, and Tang San couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"You must believe that you reap what you sow. How did you cultivate your soul power? The reason your soul power level is ahead of your peers is because of the rigorous training methods of Shrek Academy! While others are resting and relaxing in meditation, you are fighting soul battles and running under the scorching sun with heavy loads! How can they compare to such a speed of progress in soul power and the solidity of your foundation?"
For a moment, Tang San's thoughts drifted back to the arduous efforts he had made. What Grandmaster and the others didn't know was that he had to get up early to watch the sunrise while cultivating his Purple Demon Eye, and spend his evenings meditating and circulating his Mysterious Heaven Technique. The effort he had put in was truly immense!
"Think about it. If you fuse with a soul bone, wouldn't that allow your soul power level to increase rapidly?"
The master smiled slightly and said.
"If there were a thousand-year-old soul bone in front of you, would you try to fuse with it?"
Tang San hesitated for only a moment before shaking his head.
"That's right. Even if you want to fuse, I will stop you. In the future, the soul bones you fuse with must be at least ten thousand years old; if it's the torso bone or skull, the two most crucial soul bones, then they must be at least fifty thousand years old!"
The master smiled faintly and said.
