"That's such a pity." Bei Bei expressed regret that Su Yu hadn't joined the Tang Sect.
"However, we can still continue hunting soul beasts together," Su Yu replied.
"Senior Brother, and Brother Su, are you also hunting soul beasts?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously upon hearing Su Yu's words.
"Pfft." Tang Ya laughed, playfully tapping Huo Yuhao on the head. "Yuhao, are you silly? Why did we come to the Star Dou Forest if not to obtain soul rings?"
Huo Yuhao scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"However, Yuhao, you made one mistake. I'm the one who needs a soul ring this time, not Bei Bei."
"Once I obtain my soul ring, I'll truly be a Soul Ancestor!" Tang Ya said, putting her hands on her hips, clearly proud.
At just fourteen, she had cultivated her Blue Silver Grass martial soul to level thirty, and she certainly had the right to feel proud.
"Ah!"
Huo Yuhao was astonished. Teacher Xiao Ya, who looked no older than fourteen, was already at level thirty?
Blue Silver Grass.
A level thirty at just fourteen!
Although he knew that a legendary figure from a thousand years ago had cultivated the Blue Silver Grass martial soul to an impressive level, the consensus remained that Blue Silver Grass was a useless martial soul.
For Sister Xiao Ya to achieve level thirty at this age meant she must have endured hardships that others could hardly imagine.
Huo Yuhao compared this to his own journey and felt encouraged.
"If Sister Xiao Ya hasn't given up, then I need to work even harder.
Besides, I have my brother Dream Ice silkworm and a million-year soul ring."
"The one who needs the soul ring now is Yuhao, while Xiao Ya and Brother Su will be next," Bei Bei interjected, suggesting that they introduce their abilities to work better together during the upcoming soul hunt.
"Senior Brother, Teacher Xiao Ya, Brother Su, my martial soul is the Spiritual Eye, and my first soul skill is Mental Detection Sharing." Huo Yuhao stated straightforwardly, demonstrating his Mental Detection Sharing ability.
Of course, his "straightforwardness" was only partial.
He had four soul skills from his first soul ring, but he only revealed the effects of two and explained them as a single skill.
Bei Bei and Tang Ya were shocked.
They hadn't expected that a soul ring from a ten-year-old Wind Baboon could have such terrifying effects!
This mutation was too outrageous!
Even Su Yu, who already had some understanding of Huo Yuhao's soul skills, was utterly astonished by the vivid images that appeared in his mind.
Knowing and personally experiencing something were completely different feelings.
"Bei Bei, level thirty-eight Soul Ancestor, martial soul Blue Electric Tyrant."
Huo Yuhao noticeably shuddered, gaining a deeper understanding of Bei Bei.
Though he hadn't encountered much, he had heard of the Blue Electric Tyrant's reputation from his mother's stories.
After introducing himself, Bei Bei activated his martial soul, with two yellow and one purple soul rings circling around his transformed arm.
The optimal soul ring configuration!
"It's my turn now—Tang Ya, level thirty Soul Master, martial soul Blue Silver Grass."
Tang Ya also summoned her martial soul, revealing a purple-black Blue Silver Grass in her hand, with two yellow soul rings floating around her.
Su Yu observed Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass closely and felt a bit speechless.
Is this really it?
They've even turned Blue Silver Grass into poisonous weeds.
Su Yu recalled that Tang Ya's martial soul had mutated and seemed to possess devouring abilities, resembling a Dark Blue Silver Grass.
"Although there's a mutation involved, it's mostly about accumulation, right?"
The inheritance mechanism of the Tang Sect was rather foolish; it required a soul master to possess the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
Moreover, it had mostly been passed down in a single lineage.
This lineage had also followed Tang San's path.
The Blue Silver Grass passed down through the bloodline had long since been corrupted at its roots.
Tang Ya's case was both an accident and a certainty.
After Tang Ya showcased her martial soul, it was finally Su Yu's turn.
The three of them looked at Su Yu, intrigued by him.
"Su Yu, level thirty Soul Master, martial soul—" Su Yu paused deliberately before continuing, "Blue Silver Grass!"
"What?!"
"Su Yu, are you saying your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass?"
Su Yu looked at the three of them, feeling quite satisfied with their shocked expressions.
Tang Ya, Bei Bei, and Huo Yuhao were all taken aback.
Su Yu had reached level thirty at the age of twelve, and they had expected him to have a powerful martial soul. They never imagined it would be Blue Silver Grass.
"My martial soul is indeed Blue Silver Grass, with innate level three soul power and no twin martial soul," Su Yu explained casually to avoid the three of them making wild guesses.
While it seemed like an explanation, it was also a subtle display of superiority.
Innate level three soul power!
After six years of cultivation, he had advanced twenty-seven levels, averaging an increase of four and a half levels per year!
This terrifying speed left Tang Ya—who had personally experienced the difficulties of cultivating Blue Silver Grass—feeling utterly hopeless.
What kind of freak is this?!
"Tang Ya, if you trust me, you should consider changing your martial soul cultivation direction as soon as possible.
Adding toxins and so-called resilience to Blue Silver Grass is simply not cost-effective."
In the early stages, Tang San's impressive performance was due to his many Tang Sect techniques combined with the top-tier soul beasts he hunted, along with an almost perfect absorption process that significantly enhanced his martial soul.
This partially compensated for its shortcomings.
However, in the later stages, during the Soul Master competition, the gap became evident when facing the top talents from various academies.
"This—"
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Tang Ya hesitated for a moment but showed no intention of heeding his advice. She was following the path laid out by her ancestor, Tang San.
That path was a well-documented route to divinity, with his deeds having been celebrated on the Douluo Continent for over ten thousand years!
"Forget it, do as you wish."
Su Yu had previously discussed his soul ring requirements with Bei Bei and the others.
Now that they knew his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, he believed the two would understand what he meant by his martial soul development direction.
However, it was clear that Su Yu did not possess the "authority" to dictate their paths.
He shook his head and stopped urging them.
He released his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, revealing one yellow and one purple soul ring floating above and below him.
Huo Yuhao was utterly astonished.
Weren't the first two soul rings either at their limit or a hundred years old?
Seeing the shocked expression on the boy's face, Su Yu couldn't help but silently scoff.
What are you so surprised about?
Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass and Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass exuded entirely different vibes just by summoning them.
Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass gave off a dangerous aura, with barbed toxic hooks and purple-black patterns that immediately conjured thoughts of poison.
In contrast, Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass emanated a sense of life, overflowing with vitality that uplifted the mood and felt comforting.
Bei Bei asked curiously, "Brother Su, is your Blue Silver Grass leaning towards an auxiliary path?"
Given the aura of the Blue Silver Grass and Su Yu's choice of soul beasts to hunt, Bei Bei couldn't help but draw that conclusion.
However, how could the second soul ring be a thousand years old if he was pursuing an auxiliary development route?
This raised a contradiction in his mind.
That's why he asked.
"No, I'm a battle soul master."
