Chapter 1: How exactly should one cultivate the Blue Silver Grass?
"How dare you publicly question my theory of martial spirits?"
"How could my theory of martial spirits be wrong?"
"Blue Silver Grass follows the control type, and its role and cultivation path are already clearly defined. You, however, are attempting to deviate from the mainstream and go for the life type. Go ahead and go for it, but please don't mislead people here!"
The master stood behind his desk, his expression furious, panting heavily, and roaring almost uncontrollably.
Two boys stood in front of him.
One of them was Tang San.
Tang San's expression was solemn, his brows furrowed.
His gaze lingered between the master and the young man beside him.
This young man bears a resemblance to Tang San in his features, but exudes a sharper edge. He is Tang Chuan—Tang San's older brother.
As a transmigrator, Tang Chuan was well-versed in the original work and naturally knew that the greatest potential of Blue Silver Grass was its vitality. However, Yu Xiaogang, that idiot, made Tang San develop it into a control-type and added some useless soul ring skills to Blue Silver Grass.
Just like Blue Silver Grass's first soul skill - Entanglement!
Second Soul Skill - Parasite!
Third Soul Skill - Spider Web Binding!
Fourth Soul Skill - Blue Silver Cage!
These control-type spirit ring skills are completely unnecessary and pointless for the Blue Silver Grass spirit!
Why do I say that?
Blue Silver Grass, as a plant-type martial soul, is already capable of entanglement, control, and binding. Adding control-type soul ring skills would be redundant.
Everyone on the Douluo Continent knows that Blue Silver Grass has strong vitality.
As the saying goes, "Wildfire cannot burn it all; the spring breeze brings it back to life."
Why abandon the strongest life-type cultivation to cultivate the control-type? Aside from that idiot Yu Xiaogang, you probably couldn't find another person on the entire continent who could come up with such a thing.
In the original story, it was precisely because of Yu Xiaogang's stupid and misguided command that Tang San wasted many spirit ring slots in the early stages of his Blue Silver Grass spirit.
Yu Xiaogang said that Blue Silver Grass has no attack power if it is not imbued with poison.
As the old saying goes, grass, trees, bamboo and rocks can all be used as swords, and even flying flowers and fallen leaves can be used to injure people!
As long as the quality and soul power level of the martial soul are high, it will inevitably have extremely strong attack power, just like Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul, Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, which is also a plant-type martial soul!
At this moment, Tang Chuan was very clear that Yu Xiaogang's method for cultivating the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was completely wrong, even terribly wrong.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him to cultivate according to the theory given by Yu Xiaogang.
At the height of his excitement, the master even pulled a worn-out notebook from the bookshelf and said with great emotion:
"One of the ten core competitive theories I've researched in the world of martial spirits is that plant-based martial spirits are not necessarily unable to absorb animal-type spirit rings!"
Immediately afterwards, he looked up at Tang San, his tone extremely serious:
"Blue Silver Grass itself possesses a certain degree of resilience, while snake-type soul beasts happen to have properties such as constriction and venom. Therefore, Xiao San and I's primary target in this trip to the Soul Hunting Forest is a snake-type soul beast that is over a hundred years old. If we successfully hunt it down, Xiao San will obtain an excellent control-type soul skill, which will perfectly align with the cultivation direction of Blue Silver Grass!"
But before he could finish speaking, Tang Chuan sneered and retorted mercilessly:
"Master, I agree that plant-type martial souls can absorb animal soul rings. But I'd like to ask—plant-type soul beasts also possess resilience and toxicity, so why did you choose snakes instead of plant-type soul beast soul rings?"
"Since you say Blue Silver Grass is a plant-type, instead of forcibly applying the logic of animal soul beasts, why not let it follow the path that truly belongs to plants? For example, Poison Ivy, Man-eating Flower, Venomous Thorn... aren't they all naturally poisonous, extremely resilient, and even their active attack capabilities are no less than those of snakes?"
Upon hearing this, the master's expression froze, his lips twitched, and he clearly couldn't find a rebuttal for the moment. He remained silent for a moment, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes, and then he waved his hand impatiently, saying:
"What do you know, a child of only a few years old? The coiling ability of snake-type soul beasts has been proven effective by countless soul masters. Based on my years of experience, if Xiao San absorbs a snake-type soul ring, he will definitely be able to obtain a coiling soul skill, which is much more practical than your wild ideas."
After listening to the master's explanation, Tang Chuan did not say anything more. He simply raised his right hand slowly, his five fingers slightly spread, and his soul power rippled slightly in his palm.
As a pale blue halo appeared, a small blue-green grass sprouted from his palm; it was the tender yet tenacious Blue Silver Grass.
It carries a supple and lively life force, stretching out quietly like a small emerald green snake, and in the blink of an eye, it has already silently wrapped around the master's arm.
The vines wound around his fingers at a slow pace, yet they moved like living things, without any aggression, and before he knew it, they had tightly wrapped around the master's sleeve.
"Master," Tang Chuan asked calmly, "how do you feel right now?"
The master subconsciously looked down at his arm, which was tightly bound by the blue silver grass, frowned, and looked puzzled.
"What do you want to do?" he asked, his tone tinged with wariness and confusion.
Tang Chuan, however, said expressionlessly, "Do you see any sign that I'm using a soul skill?"
"Hmm?" The master was slightly taken aback, then realized what he meant, his pupils contracting slightly. "You mean..."
"That's right." Tang Chuan interrupted him directly, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm, and said, "Blue Silver Grass can naturally entangle; it's an innate ability, not something that can be activated through soul skills. I don't need to use any soul skills for it to complete basic binding and entanglement."
"Then, Master, if you insist on adding another binding-type soul skill to it, wouldn't that be like taking off your pants to fart—completely unnecessary?"
"That's why I say Blue Silver Grass should absorb plant-type spirit rings and go for the life-type!"
After he finished speaking, the office fell into a deathly silence.
The master's face turned extremely ugly, the muscles around his eyes twitched slightly, and his forehead throbbed faintly. He was speechless for a moment, feeling both ashamed and angry, yet unable to refute them.
A moment later, the master's face turned red, he was panting heavily, and his emotions completely erupted.
His theory of martial spirit was overturned on the spot by a child who was only a few years old. This made him feel extremely embarrassed. If he did not suppress this matter, how could he teach Tang San in the future?
"You—you're utterly arrogant! You're spouting nonsense!"
The master slammed his fist on the table, pointed at Tang Chuan, and roared, "You're just a little kid! A mere Soul Master without even a Soul Ring! What gives you the right to question the Martial Soul theory I've developed over decades? What do you know about Martial Souls? What do you know about control?!"
"You're just a brat whose spirit is Blue Silver Grass and whose innate spirit power is only level one. Do you think that just because you've read a few books and have a silver tongue, you can dismiss the experience of the entire spirit master world?!"
