Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

Chapter 37: Can you eat the pie in the sky?
"Oh, by the way, teacher, when I am making spirit rings for the blue silver grass in the future, should I try to consider those spirit rings that are threatening to the blue silver grass?" Tang San suddenly thought.

"Haha, Xiao San, you are still too young." The master smiled and shook his head, saying: "According to your idea, your Blue Silver Grass martial spirit will have to use all nine spirit rings to deal with those spirit skills that threaten the Blue Silver Grass."

"Your Blue Silver Grass is afraid of fire, so you increase its flame resistance. It is afraid of sharp things, so you increase its hardness. But have you ever thought about this? If you waste one or two soul rings on these things that can threaten your Blue Silver Grass, what will you use to fight against your enemies in the future?"

"But teacher, if I don't take these measures, how can my Blue Silver Grass become the strongest control?" Tang San asked doubtfully.

"Xiao San, you think too much. These are not things you should consider now." The master touched Tang San's head and said lightly: "Your future development path has been arranged for you by the teacher. What you need to do now is to believe in your teacher's theory and concentrate on practicing. With the teacher around, nothing is difficult. Do you understand?"

"Moreover, if you want to become the strongest control-type soul master, you need a group of reliable partners. If you don't have a group of reliable partners by your side, you need to cultivate your soul power level to the level of Titled Douluo. By then, your lack of attack power will naturally be solved."

"Also, don't you always like to tinker with some hidden weapons? Although those hidden weapons are not up to standard in my opinion, I have to say that they have amazing power. With your Blue Silver Grass entangled, after controlling the enemy, your hidden weapons will also play the greatest role."

After hearing the master's explanation, Tang San felt as if things had suddenly become clear. The master was right. Although his Blue Silver Grass lacked attack power, he could use hidden weapons to make up for the lack of attack power. Moreover, for him, hitting a fixed target was much more comfortable than hitting a moving target.

"Teacher, can I use hidden weapons when fighting Cheng Xiao?" Tang San asked.

"No." The master shook his head firmly and said, "Xiao San, you are just sparring. It is normal to win or lose. Your hidden weapons are extremely powerful. If you are not careful, you can easily kill someone."

"Oh." Being stopped by the master from using hidden weapons, Tang San said somewhat disappointedly: "But teacher, if I don't use hidden weapons, I still can't defeat Cheng Xiao. His two short swords are made by me. My Blue Silver Grass can't resist their sharpness at all."

Hearing this, the master frowned, somewhat displeased. Tang San was good in every way except that he loved to dwell on trivial matters. However, as his teacher, and after being reminded by Tang Hao, the master still patiently said, "Xiao San, you are still young now, remember not to aim too high. The most important thing for you at this stage is to improve your spirit power level. Practicing with Cheng Xiao is exactly what you don't need to worry about. Do you know why?"

"You are a rare genius with twin martial souls, and you have a master of theory in the world of soul masters as your teacher. Your future development will only be better and stronger than Cheng Xiao."

"Teacher promises you that when you reach the level of Titled Douluo and start to cultivate your second martial spirit, Clear Sky Hammer, as more and more spirit rings are attached to your two martial spirits, your own level will also become higher and higher. By that time, your Blue Silver Grass will not be restrained, even if it is chopped by a knife, burned by fire, or fried in oil, it will not be affected at all."

"Is that so?" Tang San nodded. For some reason, he always had a strange feeling, as if everything would happen in the future, and the only thing he needed to do now was to improve his spirit power level. But why did he always have a strange feeling?
In fact, this feeling is usually called CPU, or pie in the sky.

"Okay, Xiao San, don't dwell on these things anymore." The master looked at Tang San who was still thinking about it, and said slowly: "After Cheng Xiao comes back from hunting the second spirit ring, the dean will arrange a competition for the two of you. At that time, you can only use your martial spirit. Only in this way can we know your strength clearly."

"Got it, teacher." Tang San said softly.

…………On the other side, the work-study students’ dormitory.

After returning to Notting College from the Star Dou Great Forest, Wang Sheng and others were envious when they learned that Cheng Xiao and Xiao Wu had obtained their second soul rings and became great soul masters.

They came to Notting College to study for six years, and after practicing hard day and night, they barely became one-ring soul masters. Moreover, most of their soul rings were ten-year hundred-ring soul rings. The soul rings of hundred-year soul beasts were out of reach for Wang Sheng and others.

"Brother Cheng, Sister Xiaowu." Wang Sheng walked up to the two of them and said with a grin, "You are really talented. You have become great soul masters just two years after entering the academy."

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao reached out and patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder, smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, it's just a hundred-year spirit ring. You will have it in the future. By then, you will have a thousand-year spirit ring, a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, and so on."

"Brother Cheng, we treat you as our big brother and you treat us as cattle and horses, right?" Hearing Cheng Xiao's comfort, Wang Sheng's face showed a little bitterness. Although he knew that Cheng Xiao was comforting them, why did it sound a little weird?
Wang Sheng said, "By the way, Brother Cheng, the dean said that after you and Sister Xiao Wu come back, he will ask you to come over. He said he has something to talk to you about."

"The dean is looking for me?" Cheng Xiao was slightly stunned.

"Yes, he didn't say anything, just asked us to tell you when you come back." Wang Sheng scratched his head. He was also confused by what the dean said.

"Okay, I'll go to the dean's office." Cheng Xiao nodded, then looked at Xiao Wu who was pouting beside him, stretched out his hand and gently pinched her soft little face, and said: "Didn't you say you were tired when you came back? Go to sleep."

"Okay, then I'll go to bed first, but you must wake me up when you come back." Xiao Wu said.

"Yeah." Cheng Xiao responded softly, then quickly left the work-study dormitory and walked towards the dean's office of Notting College.

After Cheng Xiao left, Wang Sheng looked at Xiao Wu, who was standing there like a man waiting for her husband. He coughed lightly and said, "Sister Xiao Wu, stop looking. It's not like Brother Cheng won't come back."

"Of course I can only make him come back." Xiao Wu glared at Wang Sheng, then clenched her fist and said with a smile: "Wang Sheng, I just happened to break through to the Great Spirit Master level, how about we have a sparring match?"

"No, Sister Xiaowu! I was wrong! I will never talk nonsense again!"
