Chapter 9: Leaving the Saint Soul Village
"Have you decided?"
Ah Yin softly spoke, waiting for Su Yun's answer.
"I've decided, Sister Yin."
Su Yun immediately explained his development philosophy for the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, emphasizing the admiration he felt for the life force of the Blue Silver Emperor.
Ah Yin was a bit surprised.
She didn't expect Su Yun to be so willing to cultivate the life force of the Blue Silver Emperor.
During her experiences in human society, Ah Yin had encountered many prejudices against non-combat soul masters.
It wasn't discrimination; it was just a lack of value.
Most soul master organizations preferred to cultivate combat-type soul masters rather than auxiliary ones.
This mindset was also prevalent among newly awakened children.
They believed that standing at the forefront of battle was the coolest thing to do.
In their perception, being an assisting soul master in the background was boring.
After all, nobody wanted to be a supporting character; everyone hoped for others to coordinate with them.
Therefore, Su Yun's choice surprised Ah Yin.
"Little Su Yun, are you really willing to focus on cultivating the life force of the Blue Silver Emperor?"
"Although this is indeed the most correct choice for the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, it may also cause you, as a soul master, to lose essential combat abilities."
"If you encounter danger, you might..."
Concerned that Su Yun made this choice for her sake, Ah Yin immediately raised her concerns.
After all, a soul master's cultivation should primarily align with their own aspirations.
For example, forcing a naturally combative person to become an auxiliary soul master would be truly counterproductive.
Facing Ah Yin's question, a smile appeared on Su Yun's small face.
"Sister Yin, this is truly my intention."
"And I think, if the Blue Silver Emperor is as you described, belonging to the top-tier martial souls, it shouldn't be impossible to develop its combat abilities."
"Oh?"
"So, tell me, how would you develop it if you were in my shoes?"
Ah Yin was curious and looked at him with interest.
"Well..."
"I haven't really thought about it."
"Hehe, let's take it step by step."
"Anyway, with you, Sister Yin, by my side, I'm sure I won't be worse than that fake Tang San!"
"When the day comes that I surpass that fake Tang San, I'll beat him up first to vent your anger, Sister Yin!"
Su Yun chuckled.
His previous words were clearly said for Ah Yin's sake.
However, Su Yun had great confidence in the Blue Silver Emperor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so frank.
Especially regarding what Ah Yin had just mentioned—the Blue Silver Emperor's ability to absorb all the traits of soul rings—this was particularly important to him!
In the future, when choosing soul rings, he needed to constantly consider this point and strive for perfection.
After hearing Su Yun's words, Ah Yin couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation. However, because Su Yun's final words touched Ah Yin's heart, she didn't scold him. After all, he was trying to take care of her emotions and even offered to vent her anger.
Moreover, judging by Su Yun's expression and demeanor, Ah Yin could see that he didn't have any psychological resistance to becoming an auxiliary soul master.
"Well, he does make some sense."
"Take it step by step. Perhaps in the future, this little guy can pave a different path for himself."
Ah Yin whispered to herself, deciding not to disturb Su Yun further.
Before returning to the Martial Soul Space, Ah Yin specifically shared with Su Yun the secret method of cultivating soul power within the Blue Silver Grass family.
This method was compiled through generations of research by the Blue Silver Emperor clan and was extremely beneficial to those with Blue Silver Grass martial souls, especially Su Yun with the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.
Even though Su Yun was already at the innate full soul power level, the soul power he cultivated wouldn't disappear. Instead, it would be absorbed and enhance his power after he absorbed his first soul ring.
Furthermore, this soul power cultivation method not only increased soul power but also enhanced the life attribute of the Blue Silver Emperor.
Ah Yin could quantify this enhancement through the system's panel.
After obtaining the cultivation method, Su Yun didn't hesitate. He immediately followed the instructions to activate the soul power within his body.
As he began practicing, Su Yun finally understood why Ah Yin hadn't given this method to Tang San back then.
This method was primarily suitable for the Blue Silver Grass family. Tang San's body contained both Blue Silver Grass and another martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, combined with the Xuan Tian Gong cultivation method.
The resulting mixed soul power wasn't suitable for the inherent cultivation method of the Blue Silver Grass family.
"With this cultivation method, once I obtain my first soul ring, my soul power level will likely reach at least fourteen."
Su Yun thought to himself.
He remembered that Tang San, after practicing the Xuan Tian Gong and absorbing the soul ring of the Man Faced Demon Spider, had only reached level thirteen.
Su Yun believed that with Ah Yin's personal guidance and the higher quality of his martial soul compared to Tang San's, as long as the absorbed soul rings were of good quality, he could surpass Tang San's achievements.
Surpassing Tang San shouldn't be too difficult.
In the following days, Su Yun didn't lock himself in his room. Instead, he spent each day finding time to explore areas inside and outside the village where Blue Silver Grass was abundant, using it to cultivate his soul power.
At the same time, he tried to communicate with these Blue Silver Grass plants, gaining a basic understanding of the abilities of the Blue Silver Emperor.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was time for Su Yun and Tang San to leave the Holy Soul Village.
Originally, the village had only one slot each year to send someone to the Novice Soul Master Academy.
However, this year, the Holy Soul Village had great luck with the arrival of two children at the innate full soul power level.
Even though their martial souls were considered "trash," being Blue Silver Grass, the innate full soul power was a rare talent across the entire Douluo Continent. This alone was enough to make the Novice Soul Master Academy give them a green light.
From the perspective of the academy, these two kids might achieve something remarkable with their innate full soul power.
Su Yun woke up early.
Accompanying Village Elder Jack, he arrived at Tang San's house early in the morning. Besides escorting Tang San, there was also the hope of letting Ah Yin see Tang Hao.
However, as in previous days, Tang Hao didn't get up.
To Su Yun's surprise, Ah Yin, upon not seeing Tang Hao come out, didn't show any signs of impatience.
Perhaps she knew that Tang Hao was already in a dejected state and didn't want to ruin his image in her heart?
Su Yun got up very early, so he came with Village Elder Jack to Tang San's house. He not only wanted to accompany Tang San but also hoped to introduce Ah Yin to Tang Hao.
However, Tang Hao still hadn't woken up, which didn't seem to bother Ah Yin.
Maybe she knew that Tang Hao was in a depressed state and didn't want to shatter his image in her heart?
When Tang San returned from his cultivation, instead of rushing to leave with Su Yun and Elder Jack, he made a final bowl of porridge for his father, Tang Hao.
Ah Yin, unwilling to meet him, went straight back to the Martial Soul Space.
Su Yun and Elder Jack didn't rush, choosing to wait on the side. Tang San didn't hurry either. After cooking the porridge, the three of them quietly left.
