On the side, Tang San had already automatically filled his mind with a grand drama.
How was Big Brother being dismissive of the teacher? He was clearly looking at the big picture!
Even though Big Brother's methods are unconventional, he knows better than anyone what I lack right now.
My soul power is low, I lack combat experience, and my Blue Silver Grass martial soul is naturally weak.
What I need most is to obtain power as quickly as possible and have the ability to protect myself.
And Teacher's theories, although they seem rigid in some places, are the most stable and systematic path to becoming stronger.
Big Brother is doing this so I don't fall into a dilemma.
He's even willing to put himself in the position of the "bad guy" just so I can study under Teacher with a peace of mind.
I must not fail to live up to Big Brother's painstaking efforts!
Tang San looked at Lin Chuan's lazy back, his eyes reddening slightly.
...
During the day, Yu Xiaogang took Lin Chuan and Tang San through the Spirit Hunting Forest, but they hadn't found a suitable soul beast.
Although they encountered many soul beasts, and even a few plant-based ones.
None of them quite met the standard for the perfect first soul ring in Grandmaster's mind.
As night fell, the three of them set up camp in the Spirit Hunting Forest.
Yu Xiaogang was feeding white radishes to his martial soul, Luo Sanpao.
Luo Sanpao barked excitedly a few times and began to feast.
After feeding his pet, Grandmaster began his teaching again.
"Little San, look at Luo Sanpao. Although it left the body due to a failed mutation, its characteristics as a beast martial soul are still worth studying. The essence of soul power is..."
Facing the campfire, Grandmaster talked incessantly, instilling martial soul knowledge into Tang San.
From identifying the habits of soul beasts to techniques for circulating soul power.
There was even his original "Ten Core Competencies" theory.
Tang San listened extremely seriously, sitting cross-legged.
His back was ramrod straight, the image of a perfect student!
From time to time, he would even ask some very profound questions!
This attitude of respecting teachers and being diligent in learning made Yu Xiaogang extremely satisfied.
He looked at Tang San as if looking at the continuation of his own unfulfilled dreams.
The more he looked, the more pleasing Tang San became!
In contrast, on the other side.
Lin Chuan had long since found the most comfortable large tree.
Leaning against the trunk, hands tucked behind his head.
He had even somehow found a huge leaf to cover himself with.
Before long, a light snoring sound drifted over.
Listening to the fast-asleep Lin Chuan, a flash of undisguised disdain passed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
He couldn't help but think to himself:
"So what if you have Innate Full Soul Power? So what if you have Twin Martial Souls?"
"Without the heart of a powerhouse, without reverence for knowledge, and without persistent effort, talent is ultimately just a castle in the air."
"Look at Little San. Even though it's just Blue Silver Grass, this drive to research and this resilient character are the true cornerstones of becoming a powerhouse."
At the same time, he sneered in his heart:
"Lin Chuan, oh Lin Chuan, do you really think you can live off talent forever?"
"Once you reach the Grand Soul Master realm, the gap between you will become apparent."
"When that time comes, you will regret your refusal to the point of no return!"
However, just as Grandmaster was immersed in the fantasy of teaching a God-King to slap Lin Chuan's face.
A sudden change occurred!
"Whoosh—"
A gust of fishy wind blew against them, and the surrounding bushes shook violently.
It was as if some massive creature was moving rapidly along the ground.
The temperature in the air dropped sharply.
A suffocating sense of oppression instantly enveloped the three of them.
"Not good!"
"A poisonous creature is approaching!"
Grandmaster's face changed drastically.
"Little San, hold your breath!"
"Luo Sanpao! Farts like thunder, Heaven-Shaking Earth-Shattering Luo Sanpao!"
The yellow soul ring lit up, and Luo Sanpao stuck up its buttocks.
An earth-shattering fart exploded, and air currents tumbled.
By the light generated by Luo Sanpao's attack.
The true face of the attacker was finally seen clearly.
This time, it wasn't some ten-year soul beast, but a dark green snake nearly four meters long!
"A Datura Snake! And it's nearly four hundred years old!"
Grandmaster's voice was trembling:
"Not good! How could such a soul beast appear in the outer perimeter?"
The Datura Snake, a top-tier predator among poison-attribute soul beasts.
Its toxicity is extremely high, its speed is incredibly fast, and its body is as hard as iron.
Even a hundred-year Datura Snake is enough to give a Grand Soul Master a massive headache.
Yu Xiaogang was only Level 29, and his martial soul Luo Sanpao had limited attack methods.
Facing a soul beast known for speed and poison, he was simply countered by nature!
"Hiss—!"
The Datura Snake was clearly enraged by the previous attack.
It didn't retreat because of Luo Sanpao's fart; instead, it grew even more ferocious.
Its body suddenly lunged, opening its bloody maw to bite directly at the one who looked like the biggest threat: the Grandmaster.
"Farts like smoke..."
Grandmaster wanted to release a smoke screen to escape.
But as a jungle killer, the Datura Snake's sense of smell and perception were incredibly keen.
Based solely on the changes in air current, it judged Grandmaster's position.
Its tail lashed out, whipping Luo Sanpao away.
Grandmaster was caught in the collision and sent flying, crashing heavily against a tree trunk.
Immediately after, a gash was opened on Yu Xiaogang's arm, and poison began to spread rapidly.
"Teacher!" Tang San cried out.
"Run! Little San! Run!"
"This is a Datura Snake, we can't win! Run!"
Grandmaster clutched his wound, shouting in despair.
His soul power was too low; he was no match for this top-tier predator.
The Datura Snake did not pursue the Grandmaster.
Instead, it turned its head, its cold vertical pupils locking onto the two children.
A cold light flashed in Tang San's eyes, and his wrist flicked; a sleeve arrow was already aimed at the Datura Snake.
"Run? Run where?"
"Teacher was seriously injured to protect us; if I run, what kind of person would I, Tang San, be?"
"In the Tang Sect, there are only ghosts who died in battle, no cowards who run away!"
There was no backing down now!
Tang San took a deep breath, the Mysterious Heaven Skill inside him circulating frantically, preparing for a life-and-death struggle.
Just then.
A warm hand gently pressed onto his shoulder.
"Little San, step back."
Lin Chuan's voice came from behind.
The voice was terrifyingly calm.
Dare to wake him up?
Didn't it know this growing body needed sleep?
Disturbing people in the middle of the night comes with a price!
"Big Brother! This is a Datura Snake, its speed is extremely fast, you..."
Before Tang San could finish, Lin Chuan had already taken a step forward.
Facing this ferocious soul beast, Lin Chuan simply raised his right hand.
He did not summon that Clear Sky Divine Sword.
Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?
To deal with a little four-hundred-year snake, using that would be bullying the snake too much.
Instead, a ball of brilliant blue-gold light emerged from his palm.
[Blue Silver King Martial Soul]
Although he hadn't absorbed a soul ring yet, the power of the Blue Silver King itself was extraordinary.
"Rise!"
Lin Chuan gave a light shout.
His finger hooked slightly.
The surrounding, ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
In this instant, it was as if they had received the command of a sovereign.
They began to grow frantically!
Instantly weaving into a massive net!
They bound the lunging Datura Snake firmly in mid-air.
The Datura Snake struggled desperately, its scales severing many vines.
But after those vines broke, they actually healed and regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye, binding even tighter!
This was exactly what Lin Chuan had said before: endless life!
