Douluo: Ant Power Breaks the Sky

Chapter 9 My Own Plan

After they finished their meal, they slowly walked out of the cafeteria and saw Tang San waiting obediently at the door.

Seeing the two of them appear, Tang San also hurried forward, "Teacher, Senior Brother."

Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction. Although rules are not a good thing in theoretical research, abiding by them can avoid troubles and gain more opportunities and success.

Shi Yi was not too impressed with Tang San's rule-abiding appearance, because having read the original novel, he knew too well what kind of person Tang San was. Tang San's rules must be based on the premise that you are stronger than him.

Strength or status, when Tang San has stronger strength, higher status, and greater achievements, his attitude will change with these changes.

Of course, Shi Yi can understand Tang San to a certain extent. As an outer sect disciple of the Tang Sect in his previous life, abiding by the rules was the only way to protect himself. And the final facts were also very obvious. When Tang San achieved certain achievements in hidden weapons and became the most dazzling hidden weapon genius in the outer sect, he broke the rules he followed and chose to steal the Tang Sect's unique skills.

Soon, the three of them came to Yu Xiaogang's room together. After entering the room, just like Shi Yi back then, Tang San was instantly attracted by the room full of books.

Yu Xiaogang took out a paper bag from his arms and handed it to Tang San, saying slowly: "Eat first. It's the time to grow, and the food is too bad."

Tang San was stunned for a moment, then opened the paper package, only to see two chicken legs and a steamed bun inside, which were still warm.

"teacher……"

"Okay, eat quickly. After the meal, your senior brother and I have something to say to you. Time is not to be wasted when you are young." The master said lightly with a calm and serious expression.

Looking at Tang San eating heartily, Shi Yi couldn't help but smile and slowly sat down on his bed.

Yu Xiaogang poured a glass of water for Tang San and walked to the desk and sat down.

Perhaps because he felt the gazes of the two, Tang San ate very quickly.

Seeing that Tang San had finished eating, Yu Xiaogang got straight to the point and said, "Xiao San, tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and the day after tomorrow you will start formal classes. However, this is just a waste of time for you. The most urgent task now is to allow your martial spirit to continue to practice. After accepting you as my disciple this morning, I thought about it carefully. Tomorrow morning, you will leave the academy with me, and I will take you to find a suitable spirit ring so that you can advance to the spirit master level."

After that, Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and said, "It's just right, Xiaoyi, you can come with us this time, so that we can test your theoretical ideas."

Shi Yi nodded when he heard this. If the little ant's bloodline wants to evolve, it must devour soul beasts of the same kind. However, this method is only effective for the little ant. The weaker the thing, the greater the room for development. The problem that Yu Xiaogang has is different from his. Luo Sanpao has a powerful bloodline but cannot awaken it. Let alone ordinary soul beasts, Luo Sanpao will not eat even a sub-dragon soul beast, because it will only affect its bloodline that cannot be awakened, unless Yu Xiaogang can get the bloodline of a real dragon.

Shi Yi did have some solutions for Luo Sanpao. The simplest and most direct one was to give Yu Xiaogang a fairy product so that Yu Xiaogang could continue to improve his cultivation and awaken Luo Sanpao's bloodline. The next step was to let Luo Sanpao soak in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. The Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire were made from the corpses of the two dragon kings and must contain a certain amount of true dragon blood. However, with Yu Xiaogang's cultivation level, this would be quite risky. But risks also come with opportunities. The true dragon blood contained in it might make Luo Sanpao's bloodline stronger. After all, that was a real dragon.

"I will help you explain to the academy, don't worry. I will teach you the knowledge of martial spirits on the way there and back. Xiao San, what do you think of your Blue Silver Grass martial spirit?" Yu Xiaogang asked Tang San.

Tang San said: "Everyone says it is a useless martial spirit, but I think everything has a certain function and its characteristics, even the most common blue silver grass should be like this."

Yu Xiaogang nodded, looked at Shi Yi and said, "Yes, your senior brother said so too. The characteristic of Blue Silver Grass is its extremely strong vitality. I have always advocated that there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters. Your senior brother is the best example. His innate soul power is only level one, but he created a new meditation method and has cultivated to level nine in just two years. Tomorrow I will take you to find soul rings. I hope you can decide the direction of your martial soul development by yourself."

Tang San was stunned, "The development direction of martial spirits? Teacher, what does this mean?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, you go ahead and talk."

When Shi Yi heard Yu Xiaogang straightforwardly push the task of popularizing knowledge to him, his face darkened.

Seeing Tang San's eyes fall on him, Shi Yi slowly said: "To put it simply, the development direction of your martial soul is what kind of abilities and characteristics you hope your martial soul will acquire. The abilities and characteristics of your martial soul determine what kind of soul master you are, just like a person. What skills he learns determines what his profession is."

"If you want to use Blue Silver Grass to fight, what kind of abilities or characteristics do you think Blue Silver Grass needs as a weapon?"

Hearing this, Tang San subconsciously looked at the palm of his right hand and slowly fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang did not interfere. He really wanted to know if this well-behaved disciple could give some novel answers.

"When one's internal strength is cultivated to a deep level, and the Tang Sect's hidden weapon techniques are used as a guide, even picking flowers and flying leaves can hurt people. If the blue silver grass can become as sharp as a steel needle..."

Tang San's eyes gradually brightened, and he said to Shi Yi: "Brother, do you think the Blue Silver Grass can add sharp attributes?"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head slightly. It's not that no one has ever tried to be sharp and hard. The most representative one is Ju Douluo Yue Guan. However, Yue Guan is not comparable to Tang San's martial soul at all. Yu Xiaogang still thinks that Shi Yi's plan is the best, as it almost brings out all the characteristics of plants.

Shi Yi naturally understood Tang San's idea. With his mind full of hidden weapons, Tang San would definitely choose to launch the blue silver grass as a hidden weapon.

Shi Yi looked at Yu Xiaogang and said, "Teacher, don't be so hasty to shake your head. I think your idea is not without merit. If we follow your method to add spirit rings, we only need to find spirit beasts with both strength and sharpness, such as bears, tigers, lions and leopards. Your little brother can also get familiar with the fighting style of a strong attack spirit master sooner, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation for another martial spirit, right?"

Hearing this, Tang San looked at Shi Yi's young face and a hint of surprise flashed across his face. He didn't expect Yu Xiaogang to tell Shi Yi about this.

"Does the teacher need to ask for the opinions of my senior brothers?" Tang San thought secretly.

Yu Xiaogang also fell into deep thought. Shi Yi was right. Although Sharp Edge was not the best choice, it could allow the Blue Silver Grass to take into account its strength attribute. In the future, Tang San would be able to use the Clear Sky Hammer more easily.

Shi Yi didn't care about this. In his opinion, no matter what path Tang San took, with his talent and the Tang Sect's unique skills, he would be able to shine in the future. As for the correct way to open the Blue Silver Emperor, he also told him. As for what choice to make, it depended on Tang San's own fate. Anyway, he would not choose to deny Tang San's choice. Even if Tang San's choice was not good, he would agree with a smile.

Let go of the desire to help others and respect the fate of others. This is Shi Yi's motto. He can provide choices for others, but he will not help others make choices. After thinking for a while, Yu Xiaogang said to Tang San: "Xiao San, regarding your development direction, I have discussed it with your senior brother during the meal just now. Now you have three options."

"Teacher, please speak." Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang seriously.

"The first is the plan you just mentioned. Although this plan cannot maximize the development of your Blue Silver Grass, it lays a solid foundation for your second martial spirit."

"The second is my plan. I chose to develop two important characteristics of the blue silver grass. One is toughness, and the other is toxins. This way, you can quickly build up a certain combat power as a control-type soul master. Use the blue silver grass as a rope to control the enemy and add toxins. This way, you can choose soul beasts such as snakes and spiders. This way, you can build up a certain combat power while laying a certain foundation."

"The last one is your senior brother's plan. He wants to develop the plant characteristics of Blue Silver Grass to the greatest extent possible and select plant spirit beasts to continuously add new characteristics to your martial spirit. However, Blue Silver Grass is too weak, which will cause your growth cycle to be prolonged to a certain extent, but your Blue Silver Grass can be developed to the best extent."

Yu Xiaogang briefly described the three options, and Tang San began to think silently.

Choosing the plan he proposed can greatly reduce his consumption of hidden weapons. At the same time, the attributes added by the soul beast can also lay a strong foundation for him to practice the second martial soul. Having experienced the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer, he naturally understands that if he wants to control the Clear Sky Hammer with ease, he must possess powerful strength.

Yu Xiaogang's plan was also quite good. As a method of attacking by surprise, hidden weapons often needed something to attract firepower. Obviously, Wuhun was a good choice, turning into a rope to restrict the enemy and attaching poison. If the Blue Silver Grass could really do it, then his hidden weapons would no longer hit moving targets, but fixed targets.

As for the last option.

Tang San looked at Shi Yi and asked, "Brother, can you tell me where your plan is to develop?"

Shi Yi looked at Tang San and smiled, "Although the benefits that plant-based soul beasts bring to the body are not as strong as those of animal soul beasts, most of them will provide more powerful and pure soul power. Choose the right characteristics from the plant-based soul beasts, such as strong vitality, toxins, parasitism, devouring, reproduction, and even certain auxiliary abilities. In this way, your Blue Silver Grass can still be used as a rope to control the enemy. Once you catch the opponent, these powerful negative abilities will continue to weaken the opponent. If a rope can absorb the soul power of others while firmly tying them up and constantly proliferating, it will be an extremely terrifying existence."

"Thank you, senior brother, for clearing up my doubts." Tang San said softly to Shi Yi.

Shi Yi smiled slightly and nodded.

Tang San thought about it, and it was true that Shi Yi's plan was just as Yu Xiaogang said, it had fully developed most of the potential of the plants, but as Yu Xiaogang said, the growth cycle would be prolonged.

Using this plan, the combat effectiveness in the early stage is far inferior to the previous two plans, and the previous two plans have a huge positive impact on hidden weapons. With the Tang Sect's unique skills, his melee ability is also not weak. Absorbing powerful soul beasts such as bears, tigers, lions and leopards makes him even more powerful.

Thinking of this, Tang San said to Yu Xiaogang: "Teacher, I still want to choose my own development plan."

There was a hint of surprise in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, and he said softly: "Can you tell me the reason?"

Shi Yi looked at Tang San and smiled. His guess was correct. Tang San really chose this development plan that seemed to be the most suitable for him.

The reference for this plan is Yue Guan. Although it can gain a certain combat effectiveness in a short period of time, the higher the level, the less lethality it will have. Qian Xunji and Ju Gui could not defeat Tang Hao, who had just been granted a title, which shows his extremely limited lethality.

As for laying the foundation for the Clear Sky Hammer, forget it. In the later period of the original novel, Tang San rarely used the hammer, and even threw the Clear Sky Hammer as a hidden weapon. Tang San, a veteran who has been using hidden weapons for many years, has long had his ideas and concepts fixed. He will not easily engage in a head-on battle with others. Compared to overwhelm others with force, Tang San is best at winning by tricks. In the later period of the original novel, Blue Silver Emperor is still Tang San's most used martial soul, and Shi Yi's third plan is actually the most suitable plan for Tang San, this old sinister guy.

Tang San hasn’t seen much of the world now, but he will naturally understand it in the future.

"Teacher, I think the foundation is the most important. Pursuing temporary gains is definitely not what my disciple wants." Tang San said to Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang believed what he said and chuckled, "You are really greedy."

Yu Xiaogang naturally thought it was a good thing that his disciples wanted to reach a higher level.

"This kid is good at fooling people. Using blue silver grass as a hidden weapon is also a good choice." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.

Of course, it is just good. If Tang San can change his fighting style and concentrate on honing his skills with the Clear Sky Hammer, it will certainly be a good thing. However, it is difficult for Tang San, who has lived two lives, to change. Tang San's character of liking to hide determines that he is not suitable for practicing the hammer.

With this in mind, Shi Yi also began to consider his own development. His choice of soul ring would naturally be to choose an insect-type soul beast to give the little ant more characteristics, but he himself was a problem.

"This kid even fooled Yu Xiaogang. I'm afraid I can't get any tricks from him. I'm afraid it's unlikely that I can rely on the title of this cheap senior brother. I still have to rely on myself. It's time to study how to improve my own abilities."

"Okay, that's decided for now. You go back first. I will find you in your dormitory early tomorrow morning." Yu Xiaogang said to Tang San.

"Okay, Teacher." After responding, Tang San bowed slightly to Yu Xiaogang and Shi Yi and slowly left.

"Teacher, you should ask the dean to go with you tomorrow. If we really want Xiao San to hunt soul beasts like bears, tigers, leopards and lions, three cannons will not be enough." Shi Yi chuckled and joked.

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened when he heard this, and he nodded helplessly. Although Shi Yi's words were not pleasant to hear, he still had some self-awareness.

After saying that, Shi Yi began to search on Yu Xiaogang's bookshelf.
