Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

Shrek Academy.

In the dim room, Tang San, who was seriously injured by the broken Eight Spider Lances, was wrapped in bandages all over his body. He lay quietly on the bed, staring at the white ceiling with lifeless eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

This was the second day of his treatment. With the powerful treatment of Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, his injuries had healed a lot. Thanks to the help of the healing soul master, he was now able to walk around, but he was still lying in bed and did not get out of bed.

During these two days, Tang San had already woken up, and the scene of being defeated by Cheng Xiao that day kept appearing in his mind. He didn't understand why the Blue Silver Grass, which he was proud of, was out of his control. He didn't understand why the Tang Sect's unique skills, which he was proud of, seemed useless in front of Cheng Xiao.

Just thinking about these things, he hasn't slept for two days, and he hasn't eaten anything, including the most basic water. His body is in an extremely weak state. Now, an ordinary person can give him a big fight.

The door and windows of the room were blocked by blue silver grass. The master who was worried about his health couldn't get in at all. No matter how he talked, Tang San didn't respond at all.

During these two days, Tang San thought a lot, but the more he thought, the more confused he became, and the more he hated his martial spirit.

Since the day he became a soul master, he has stood at the top of his peers with the help of Tang Sect's unique skills. Although Blue Silver Grass is not a powerful martial soul, under his ultimate manipulation and the guidance of his master, it is not too bad.

But the more this happened, the more Tang San hated Blue Silver Grass, this useless martial spirit. Facing his peers with powerful martial spirits, Tang San initially felt a sense of superiority. But ever since Blue Silver Grass escaped his control and he was defeated by Cheng Xiao again, all his superiority over Blue Silver Grass disappeared.

Tang San has always known where the problem lies.

Blue Silver Grass is indeed a useless martial spirit. If he didn't have the unique skills of the Tang Sect, would his Blue Silver Grass still be as threatening as it is now? Without the help of hidden weapons, could his Blue Silver Grass really defeat a soul master with a powerful martial spirit?
Without the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, how could he, Tang San, defeat the enemy? The failure of this preliminary match made Tang San completely believe one thing, that is, Blue Silver Grass was a useless martial spirit, and it was only because of him, Tang San, that he became different and could not use the Tang Sect's hidden weapons. He, Tang San, was just a spirit master with a useless martial spirit.

The weakness of Blue Silver Grass was destined from the moment it awakened. No matter how Tang San practiced Blue Silver Grass, he could not defeat those soul masters with powerful martial spirits.

If he hadn't accidentally obtained an Eight Spider Soul Bone, and if the soul rings he absorbed at the risk of his life were not always higher than those of soul masters of the same age, would he really be able to defeat other soul masters under the master's guidance?

It can be said that he stood at the top of the soul masters of the same age from the beginning, so he had the impression that Blue Silver Grass was no weaker than other soul masters.

But now, everyone's level has been raised, and there is a powerful existence like Cheng Xiao who surpasses his peers. Is it really right for him to practice Blue Silver Grass instead of the more powerful Clear Sky Hammer?

“If I had practiced the Clear Sky Hammer back then, would I still have lost to Cheng Xiao?” Tang San couldn’t help but think of his second martial spirit – the Clear Sky Hammer.

Now he already knows the origin of the Clear Sky Hammer and also knows how powerful it is.

He knew that the Clear Sky Hammer was the inherited martial spirit of the Clear Sky Sect, the world's number one sect. If he had chosen to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit, he would definitely be much stronger than he is now. But the problem was that his father had said that it was forbidden to add any spirit rings to the hammer, and even his teacher had said that as long as he cultivated the Blue Silver Grass to a high level, he could then add spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, and he would definitely be able to achieve all the ten thousand year spirit rings.

By then, how terrifying will the Clear Sky Hammer with all its ten thousand year spirit rings be?

But... Tang San inevitably looked at his right hand. With a useless spirit like Blue Silver Grass, could he really cultivate to the level that the master said? Would he really have a chance to cultivate to the day of being crowned as a Titled Douluo?

With the improvement of soul power level and the increase of soul rings, Tang San is more and more aware of the shortcomings of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul. Whether it is Dai Mubai's White Tiger martial soul or Ma Hongjun's Phoenix martial soul, they are all top-notch among the top-level ones, and their soul skills will become more and more terrifying because of the martial soul itself.

But what about him? Although the Blue Silver Grass was very flexible, it could not make up for its weak basic ability. No matter how it added spirit rings, it could never get rid of the title of useless martial spirit. In other words, even if it got rid of it, how could it compare with the Phoenix and White Tiger martial spirits?

Not to mention Cheng Xiao's dark attribute martial soul. Although it is a shadow martial soul that has never been seen before, the strength it has demonstrated at this stage has already crushed all of its peers.

Tang San boasted that he was much stronger than his peers, but even so, he was pinned to the ground by Cheng Xiao and was unable to fight back.

If... I had cultivated the Clear Sky Hammer spirit... would I not have lost to Cheng Xiao?

If I had chosen to practice the Clear Sky Hammer from the very beginning, then who among my peers would be my opponent?
The more he thought about it, the more Tang San hated the Blue Silver Grass spirit. At this moment, an idea had already formed in his mind that if he had practiced the Clear Sky Hammer, he would not have lost. If it weren't for the useless Blue Silver Grass spirit, he would not have lost either.

Therefore, the source of all this is because of the problem with the useless martial soul, the Blue Silver Grass, that he awakened. There is nothing wrong with him, the problem is the Blue Silver Grass, the useless martial soul, the Blue Silver Grass!
As long as he cultivates the Clear Sky Hammer spirit, Cheng Xiao will definitely not be my opponent. Not only him, but even other soul masters will not be my opponents!

Thinking of other spirit masters' comments on the Clear Sky Hammer spirit, Tang San's desire to cultivate a second spirit became more serious. He now firmly believes that as long as he cultivates the Clear Sky Hammer, he will defeat all his peers, including Cheng Xiao, who is like a nightmare!
Outside the room, Grandmaster's eyes were bloodshot and he kept yawning. The huge dark circles under his eyes made him look even more decadent. Obviously, because of Tang San's matter, he had not slept well or rested well in the past two days.

Ever since Tang San locked himself in the room, Grandmaster has been guarding outside the door, fearing that Tang San might do something stupid.

If Tang San did something stupid, he, as a teacher, would certainly not be able to escape the blame. Given Tang Hao's temper, he might even kill himself with a hammer and then go down to meet Tang San.

In the master's heart, Tang San is not only his disciple, but also the hope to prove the theory. He cannot watch hope dissipate, and it is even more impossible for him to watch Tang San do stupid things because of his theoretical teachings.

In this qualifying round, the theories he taught Tang San were very useful, but none of them thought that while Tang San was making progress, Cheng Xiao was also making progress, and even progressed faster.

That's why Master is afraid that Tang San might do something stupid because of his inability to think clearly. (End of this chapter)
