"But Master… I…" Tang San opened his mouth, but found himself unable to say anything.
"Xiao San, Master knows your pain." Master patted Tang San on the shoulder and sighed, "Xiao San, you can choose not to listen to Master, but are you also not going to listen to your father?"
"If you think Master is harming you, then is your father also harming you?"
Tang San was stunned, momentarily at a loss.
"Forget it, Xiao San, let's go inside and talk." Seeing Tang San's state, Master first gave Liu Erlong a look, signaling her to leave. Then, he pulled the dazed Tang San into the wooden house. He needed to properly counsel his disciple; he couldn't let this ruin the grand plan.
Inside the wooden house, Master casually pulled over two chairs, gesturing for Tang San to sit down.
After Tang San sat down, Master said with a serious expression, "Xiao San, do you know what situation you're in now? If you continue in this state, let alone Master being disappointed in you, even your father, who has high hopes for you, will be disappointed!"
Master's words weren't pleasant, but to persuade Tang San, he could only bring up Tang Hao again and again. After all, he couldn't compare to Tang Hao's influence.
Despite this, Tang San, who knew Master well, could still hear the deep concern and fear in his words.
"I'm sorry... Teacher." Tang San's eyes were slightly red as he respectfully lowered his head, murmuring, "It was this disciple's impulsiveness."
Master couldn't possibly guess what Tang San was thinking at this moment. Having lived two lives, his thoughts were much deeper than those of his peers, and he thought about things more.
Because of this, he was more prone to getting stuck in a rut, which led to his current state.
In Tang San's heart, Teacher was equivalent to a father. Since his father said it was for his own good, then this choice must be right. Moreover, after having been with Master for so many years, how could Tang San not know what kind of person he was?
Therefore, after hearing Master's words just now, Tang San's impulsive emotions somewhat subsided. Although he still harbored ill will towards the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, the desire to cultivate a second Martial Soul had diminished considerably.
"But Teacher, can my Blue Silver Grass really reach the level you mentioned?" Tang San smiled wryly. "I really don't know what to do now. Although I've already reached the fourth ring, the weaknesses of the Blue Silver Grass become more and more apparent as my level increases."
"Even when I was fighting Cheng Xiao, my Blue Silver Grass briefly disobeyed me."
Hearing this, Master shook his head and said, "Xiao San, are the problems you mentioned really even problems?"
"Teacher still says the same thing: There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters."
"You must understand that Blue Silver Grass is not strong in itself; it is Tang San who is strong, and only then is Blue Silver Grass strong. It's like how I and your father don't want you to attach a second martial soul."
"Only if Tang San is strong will the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul be strong. Similarly, if you can't even understand how to cultivate the weak Blue Silver Grass, do you have any confidence in cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer well?"
"Don't say Teacher is discouraging you, but from what we've seen, Cheng Xiao's talent and effort have completely surpassed yours. He might even have Twin Martial Souls, and of the same plant type as yours."
"Otherwise, it's hard to explain why your Blue Silver Grass would malfunction in front of him. However, there's still something that puzzles me. If Cheng Xiao has Twin Martial Souls, how powerful must his second martial soul be?"
"Although Blue Silver Grass is weak, it shouldn't be completely defenseless, right?"
Before he could finish speaking, Master changed the topic and said from a different angle, "Also, don't think that Cheng Xiao can suppress you forever. How old are you now?"
"Not even fifteen years old, and your soul power has already reached over level forty, and you've obtained two Soul Bones. You're not unaware of how important Soul Bones are."
"Although Cheng Xiao's soul power level is much higher than yours, and his martial soul is extremely strange, that doesn't mean you'll lose to him in the future."
"In the path of cultivation, no effort is wasted. If your soul power levels were on the same level, how could you have lost so miserably?"
"Master believes in you. When your soul power level increases, Cheng Xiao will definitely find you a difficult opponent. If you still can't defeat Cheng Xiao in the future, then you are not my disciple, not a genius with Twin Martial Souls, but a waste. Do you understand?"
Master's words also gave Tang San some understanding, but he still felt a little unconvinced. He didn't want to be stepped on by Cheng Xiao forever. If he was really just a teenager, that would be one thing, but with two lifetimes of experience, the dignity within his heart made it difficult for him to accept the reality of his failure.
Master snorted coldly, "A moment of impatience can ruin great plans. Are you planning to spend your entire life living in the shadow cast by Cheng Xiao?"
"Speaking of Cheng Xiao, Master also has some guesses in mind, but these guesses aren't good news for you. How about this? Since there's still some time before the preliminary rounds end, you focus on cultivating and recovering your body. Master will take you to the Soul Beast Forest in a couple of days to see if we can find another Soul Bone."
"If you can obtain another Soul Bone, you'll have a better chance of winning against Cheng Xiao next time. At least you won't be forced into this miserable state."
While saying this, Master intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Tang San, fearing that this stubborn child would say something foolish.
"I understand, Master." Tang San didn't dwell on the matter this time, understanding Master's thoughts. However, his words still surprised Master. "Master, you make it sound so easy. Soul Bones are so rare; how can you just get one whenever you want?"
Master stroked his chin and comforted him, "Don't worry, I have a plan. Although Soul Bones are rare, you can still get one if you put in the effort."
"Once you've recovered, we, the Golden Triangle, will take care of the Soul Bone matter."
"Alright, Master!" Tang San was visibly excited.
Master patted Tang San's head, gazing at him gently. He whispered, "San, I don't need you to remember anything, but you must remember that in this world, only your father and I will never harm you."
"In the future, when you encounter something, don't always try to deal with it alone. Tell me what's going on, and we can solve it together, understand?"
"Yes, I understand, Master." Tang San lowered his head in shame.
Seeing this, a slight smile appeared on Master's face. He was very satisfied with this obedient disciple.
At the same time, in Martial Soul City, at the Papal Palace.
The Pope, Bibi Dong, was dressed in a golden gown, holding a scepter about two meters long, inlaid with countless gems. She sat alone at the head of the table, with Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo standing silently behind her.
Around the giant oval conference table, nearly twenty people sat, starting from Pope Bibi Dong. Each of them was elegantly dressed and had a composed demeanor.
At this moment, everyone present had their eyes fixed on Pope Bibi Dong, waiting for her to speak.
