Tang San already had the idea of cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Spirit.
Although he has maintained a continuous victory in the Great Spirit Arena with the help of Tang Sect's unique techniques and his own strategic planning in combat, Tang San can even fight with Dai Mubai.
However, deep down, he knows how much his Martial Spirit has been holding him back.
In the past, he could still accept it, after all, this way, his Tang Sect's unique techniques would play a significant role in his battles, which was the highlight of his Tang Sect's unique techniques.
But today's failure, today's powerlessness in the battle, made him desperate.
Before, the reason why Tang San could afford to not care was that he encountered few fire attribute Spirit Masters, and even fewer powerful fire attribute Spirit Masters.
Even Ma Hongjun's Spirit Skill attacks seemed stiff, easily avoidable by Tang San, but today encountering Su Wen made people despair; his control over flames was completely incomparable to Ma Hongjun's.
And this kind of control improves with the cultivation of Spirit Masters over time.
If a fire attribute Spirit Master can reach the Spirit King level, their control over flames can basically match Su Wen's, not leaving any gaps for him to utilize Blue Silver Grass.
It's not about the development of flames, but simply when the Spirit Ring reaches the five thousand year-old mark and above, the provided Spirit Skill becomes quite powerful for fire attribute Spirit Masters.
Coupled with the cultivation of Spirit King level Soul Power, the effect produced is the same as Su Wen's current suppression of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.
However, if he cultivated a different hammer Martial Spirit instead of Blue Silver Grass, Tang San was certain that he wouldn't be in the passive situation he was in now.
"Xiaosan." Grandmaster sighed, looking at Tang San seriously, "Do you still want to cultivate your other Martial Spirit?"
Tang San remained silent, not answering, but he had already indicated his inclination.
"Xiaosan, do you know why both your father and I advised you not to attach Spirit Rings to your second Martial Spirit?"
Tang San shook his head, showing a puzzled expression.
"Now I ask you, if you were to start attaching Spirit Rings to your second Martial Spirit now, how many years' worth of Spirit Rings would you absorb?" Grandmaster asked.
Tang San paused for a moment, his pupils contracting.
At that moment, he seemed to realize the true danger of his twin Martial Spirits.
It's not about having an extra Martial Spirit, having an extra trump card, or having nine more Spirit Skills for a more comprehensive tactical arrangement.
It's that his second Martial Spirit can become powerful enough to crush any other Spirit Master!
Seeing Tang San's reaction, Grandmaster understood that he had already grasped his meaning.
"Xiaosan, your true power surge will come in the later stage. According to my plan, the best time for you to cultivate your second Martial Spirit is after you reach the Spirit Saint level. By then, all your second Martial Spirit's Spirit Rings should not only be above five thousand years old but preferably all above thirty thousand years old. With such enhancements, I believe you will have the potential to rival Titled Douluo even in the Spirit Douluo Realm."
"Yes, teacher, I understand." It was only then that Tang San realized his true potential lay in the later stage.
In the current early stage, being able to cultivate Blue Silver Grass to such an extent, being able to almost stand at the top among peers at the same level, was already very powerful.
Seeing this, Grandmaster also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Regarding your Martial Spirit cultivation issue, there's actually another thing I've been thinking about, that 'Little Assistant'" Grandmaster shifted the topic.
Sure enough, Tang San recalled the details of the battle and discovered the differences in the 'Little Assistant.'
In his previous intense battles, his eyes were often red, and he hadn't noticed that an opponent with a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Spirit could exhibit abilities completely unrelated to assistance.
"No matter what Spirit Ring is attached to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Spirit, the obtained Spirit Skills will be the same, with the amplification ratio being identical as well. However, the higher the age of the obtained Spirit Ring, the less consumption when using Spirit Skills," Grandmaster explained. "As far as I know, there are no Spirit Skills within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that utilize wind and fire attributes."
Wind and fire attributes?
Tang San actually didn't see it clearly at the time.
"I've been observing Su Wen and the other for several days. That 'Little Assistant' has mastered abilities related to the wind and fire elements, capable of casting ordinary Fireball attacks and accelerating with air currents. She even developed the ability to fly."
Hiss~~~
Listening to what Grandmaster said, Tang San felt that this 'Little Assistant' was somewhat unusual.
The assisting function of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda itself is already powerful. If it could also use this method to protect itself, then the effects it could produce in battle would be incredibly extraordinary.
An assistant that could enhance all aspects of you, with a very large amplification ratio, and didn't even need protection, it was simply perfect.
Moreover, according to Grandmaster, the other could even be counted as combat power.
Tang San's expression changed slightly.
"Could it be that she also has twin Martial Spirits?"
Grandmaster shook his head, saying, "It's unlikely. While she's using these two types of abilities simultaneously, she's always manifesting the Martial Spirit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, without a trace of another Spirit Ring, nor any additional Spirit Ring showing."
Grandmaster knew that even with twin Martial Spirits, one couldn't simultaneously use both Martial Spirits. There was even a delay in switching between Martial Spirits, so he directly ruled out the possibility of the other having twin Martial Spirits.
"That 'Little Assistant's' abilities are too similar to those mastered by Su Wen," Grandmaster said.
Wind, fire.
Yes!
Only now did Tang San realize the similarity.
"Yes, Su Wen's Martial Spirit is just a Book Martial Spirit, yet he wields such powerful fire and wind attribute Spirit Skills."
...
Su Wen was unaware of the thoughts that the battle had provoked in Tang San and Grandmaster.
At this moment, he was focused on another matter.
"Grandpa Dugu should still be following us. In the recent battle, there was both Xiao Wu and an External Spirit Bone."
Tsk tsk tsk, who knows if Dugu Bo is drooling now.
Before returning to the rest area, Su Wen was stopped by Dugu Bo.
"Xiaowen, come out for a moment."
Bringing Su Wen to a separate room and using Soul Power to shield everything around them, Dugu Bo's expression became serious.
"Xiaowen, do you know the two people you fought with just now?"
"Yes, Tang San and Xiao Wu are my classmates from the Nuoding City Primary Spirit Master Academy," Su Wen replied.
"From the age of six when I enrolled until just before I met Grandpa Dugu, they were studying at Nuoding Academy. After that, it seems they came to Shrek Academy."
"Oh?" Dugu Bo's eyes flickered. "Did you notice what those eight spider spears Tang San used at the end were?"
Dugu Bo didn't believe Su Wen couldn't tell.
"External Spirit Bone," Su Wen said calmly.
Dugu Bo looked at Su Wen, speaking slowly, "It's an External Spirit Bone that hasn't fully integrated!"
Su Wen was momentarily stunned, carefully considering Dugu Bo's words, understanding his intentions.
However, all of this was within his expectations. What Dugu Bo said next, though, caught him off guard.
