Heaven Dou Grand Arena, Shrek Academy lounge.
The other team members had all left, leaving only Master and Tang San in the empty room.
In the recently concluded team battle against Blazing Fire Academy, Shrek Academy narrowly emerged victorious.
Although Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was completely countered by the fire-attribute martial souls of all the opponents, he barely managed to turn the tide of the battle thanks to the strong performance of Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai, as well as Tang San's use of the newly acquired ten-thousand-year-old spider-like right arm bone at the last moment.
"Little San, why aren't you going back to rest? Is there something else?" Sitting in his wheelchair, the master looked at Tang San, who had been standing by the window for a long time, and spoke softly.
Upon hearing this, Tang San immediately turned around and quickly walked to the master.
He remained silent for a long while, a hint of resentment on his face. After a moment, he slowly raised his head, looked firmly at the master, and said in a deep voice:
"Teacher, I...I want to switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer as my second martial soul!"
The master's reaction surprised Tang San. He didn't get angry or refuse, but looked at Tang San with a deep gaze and asked in a low voice:
Why did you suddenly have this idea?
Seeing that the master did not object, Tang San felt somewhat relieved. The resentment and frustration that had been building up since today's battle surged up, and he said with a hint of excitement and unwillingness:
"Teacher, as my spirit power level continues to increase, the limitations of my Blue Silver Grass spirit as a standard useless spirit are becoming more and more obvious!"
"Whether it's Dai Mubai's White Tiger Martial Soul, Fatty's Evil Fire Phoenix, or Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, the foundations of these top-tier Martial Souls are all too strong! Their Soul Skills will increase in power exponentially as their Soul Power increases, becoming more and more terrifying."
As he spoke, he slowly opened his palm and summoned his Dark Blue Silver Grass.
Although the Blue Silver Grass mutated and gained the ability to devour, it still possesses the ability to do so.
But in Tang San's eyes, it was exceptionally fragile.
"And what about my Blue Silver Grass? Although you said it has great potential, it's just too useless! No matter how good the spirit rings I add or how many skills I give it, the Blue Silver Grass's base attributes are just too poor. It can't compare to those top-tier spirits at all!"
"If it weren't for my good luck in unexpectedly obtaining the Eight Spider Lances external soul bone and absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring beyond my level, which forcibly improved my cultivation and physical attributes, I'm afraid my strength would have been far surpassed by Mu Bai and Fatty long ago! Today, facing Blazing Fire Academy, my sense of powerlessness is even stronger! Relying solely on Blue Silver Grass, my path as a soul master won't go very far!"
Upon hearing this, the master nodded in deep agreement. He then moved his wheelchair closer to Tang San and said in a rather solemn tone:
"Xiao San, the issues you're thinking about right now are exactly the issues that I, your teacher, have been pondering and researching recently."
"However, cultivating two martial souls simultaneously presents a major, and most fatal, obstacle: the two martial souls may conflict due to the different attributes of their attached spirit rings!"
"On the Douluo Continent, you are the third person to be confirmed to possess twin martial souls."
"We're not the only clever people. If we can think of cultivating two martial souls at the same time to make up for the shortcomings of a single martial soul, then our predecessors must have thought of it as well."
At this point, the master's voice carried a hint of heaviness.
"According to the Spirit Hall's secret records, the first genius spirit master with twin spirits, when he tried to add spirit rings to his second spirit, was in a situation very similar to yours now, also feeling that his first spirit had insufficient potential."
"However, when he carefully increased the number of soul rings on his second martial soul to a third... the different attributes of soul power contained in the two martial souls caused an irreconcilable and violent conflict within his body, ultimately leading to... his body exploding and his death, a very tragic end."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression changed drastically. His pupils contracted, and he exclaimed incredulously, "Teacher, what did you say? That Soul Master... he exploded and died?"
The master nodded heavily, confirming this cruel fact, but then added, "However, judging from that loser's experience, at least one thing can be confirmed. The body shouldn't experience major problems when adding the first two spirit rings to the second spirit. The conflict only fully erupted when the third spirit ring was added."
Tang San was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked:
"Then... Teacher, you just said I was the third, and there was another person with twin martial souls? Did he... did he succeed?"
Upon hearing this question, the master's expression instantly became complex and somber. He remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, his voice carrying an indescribable emotion:
"The second person to possess twin martial souls... she succeeded. Moreover, she not only succeeded, but also became one of the most powerful figures on the continent today."
"She is the current Pope of the Spirit Hall—Bibi Dong."
"What? Bibi Dong has twin martial souls?" Tang San's expression changed again. This news shocked and disbelieved him even more than hearing that the first person with twin martial souls had exploded and died.
That woman who stood at the pinnacle of power on the mainland actually possessed such talent?
"Hmm." Grandmaster nodded, looking at Tang San's shocked expression, and said with some confidence, "When I was young... I had some relationship with her."
"Don't worry, Xiao San, I'll help you with the problem of cultivating twin martial souls. At worst, I'll go to Martial Soul City in a few days and ask her to tell me how to properly cultivate twin martial souls to avoid the risk of exploding."
At this point, a hint of certainty appeared on his face, as if he were recalling something from the past. "I believe that, given the friendship we had back then, she wouldn't refuse me for such a small thing."
Taking a deep breath, Tang San didn't think twice and went straight to asking the most crucial question:
"Teacher, in your opinion, should I start adding spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer now? If I do, what attribute spirit rings would be most suitable?"
Upon hearing this, the master fell into deep thought, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest of his wheelchair.
A moment later, he abruptly raised his head, his eyes gleaming with the unique light of a martial spirit theory researcher, and said solemnly, "Add! Now that we know the risks of the first two spirit rings are relatively controllable, we must seize this opportunity. As for the attributes..."
"I believe we should prioritize adding fire-attribute spirit rings!"
"Fire attribute?" Tang San was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion.
"Teacher, why is that?"
"The Clear Sky Hammer is a pure power-type weapon spirit; wouldn't adding fire attribute be a bit of a mismatch? Besides, weren't we just countered by the Blazing Academy's fire attribute?"
"It is precisely because it has been restrained that we need to understand, learn, and even master it!" The master's voice rose a few decibels, carrying an almost obsessive excitement.
He immediately pulled out the theory that had inspired him from the kettle of boiling water he had seen while watching the game.
"Think about it, mistress! Water can extinguish fire, that's common sense."
"But conversely, extreme flames can also evaporate water! The reason why Tang Chuan's Blue Silver Grass is so difficult to deal with is precisely because it contains an extraordinary and boundless vitality, the manifestation of which is similar to the property of water in nourishing all things!"
"If your Clear Sky Hammer were equipped with a fire-attribute soul ring, gaining the power of fire, then you could achieve absolute elemental advantage against Tang Chuan's vibrant Blue Silver Grass! You could use flames to burn his life-giving Blue Silver Grass! Wouldn't that be perfect?"
When Tang San heard the master use the theory that fire can overcome water to argue for the necessity of adding a fire-attribute spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he immediately applied the knowledge to other situations:
"Teacher, if we look at it according to your theory of martial souls..."
"Although my Blue Silver Grass is inherently countered by fire, if I add ice or water attribute soul rings to it later, wouldn't it be possible for it to counter fire attribute martial souls like those from Blazing Academy?"
"Even if you can't completely suppress it, you should at least make the Blue Silver Grass develop some fire resistance, right? So it won't be like this now, easily burned through when it encounters flames, completely unable to play its role."
