Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

When Zhilin raised his soul power pressure to level 29, Tang San, who had been struggling to hold on, finally couldn't take it anymore.

Zhilin also decisively stopped, and transformed the pressure from the outside in into support from the bottom up.

"I never expected, I really never expected that such a genius would emerge from our Soul Master world. Even more fortunate is that I was able to meet you at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Unlike Zhilin's composure, Meng Shenji praised him the moment the talent test ended.

Upon hearing Meng Shenji's praise, Flander, who hadn't even exchanged a few words with Meng Shenji, quickly came to Meng Shenji's side.

"Tang San is a child with outstanding talent. In addition, he is the direct disciple of the Grandmaster, which is why he has achieved what he has today."

Upon hearing Flander's words, Meng Shenji paused for a moment, looking at Flander with a surprised expression.

So you're not Tang San's shameless teacher? Then who is his teacher?

"A master's personal disciple?! Which master?"

Seeing Meng Shenji's doubts, Flander gestured towards Yu Xiaogang's position with his lip.

When Flander called him, Yu Xiaogang confidently put his hands behind his back, raised his head and straightened his chest, and stood up.

Meng Shenji glanced at the master, then at Flander, and then at Lin Yu and the First Prince.

So this is Tang San's shameless teacher.

That's really shameless. Knowing that Tang San is the main character today, he, as the teacher, still waited until the very end to appear.

If you hadn't said you were Teacher Tang San, I would have thought Flander had brought the academy's janitor with him when he came!

Meng Shenji was so angry that his fists hardened.

Zhilin Chaomeng Shenji gave him a look: "Don't be so easily startled in the future. Learn from me and be more steady."

Having confirmed Tang San as his teacher, Zhilin spoke directly.

"You're the master? Tang San's teacher. This guy says Tang San's achievements today are all thanks to you. I'm quite curious about what you taught Tang San?"

Yu Xiaogang, who had been keeping quiet all along, frowned when faced with the doubts and looked at Tang San, who had already adjusted his state.

Meeting his teacher's gaze, Tang San recalled what Yu Xiaogang had taught him over the past five years and began to list it out.

"My teacher taught me about various spirit beast illustrations, how to determine the age of a spirit beast, the optimal age for spirit rings, and how to choose suitable spirit rings for my martial soul..."

Zhilin spoke up and called for a halt.

"Did this master teach you anything that the beginner Soul Master academy doesn't teach?"

Upon hearing this question, Tang San was momentarily speechless.

When he was in Nottingham, he would get up early to cultivate. He only went to class once or twice. After discovering that what was taught in school was the same as what the teacher taught, he stopped going to class.

He would practice in the morning, work at the blacksmith's shop in the afternoon, and study with his teacher in the evening.

He had no idea what the elementary Soul Master Academy taught!

Seeing Tang San's predicament, Yu Xiaogang stepped forward.

"When Xiao San was in the academy, he was so engrossed in cultivation that he didn't have time to study the academy's stuff. I tutored him in the knowledge of the beginner soul master academy every night."

Upon hearing this, Zhilin fell silent. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked a question that he found hard to believe.

"You taught him to read the spirit beast encyclopedia? You taught him about spirit ring age limits? You taught him to choose suitable spirit rings for his martial soul??"

Zhilin's question left even the teachers at Shrek Academy and Oscar Ma Hongjun completely bewildered.

Dai Mubai looked at everyone's reactions and felt somewhat out of place.

Seeing that the blond man who had recently joined Shrek looked speechless, Oscar gently nudged his shoulder.

"Hey, hey, hey, is there something wrong with what you said?"

Oscar thought he was keeping his voice down, but there were a few weaker people present, so they all turned their attention to Dai Mubai.

Under the spotlight, Dai Mubai had no choice but to step forward, clear his throat, and then began to explain.

"Soul Beast Illustrated Guide and Soul Ring Age Limits are things that academy teachers should learn. Junior Soul Master Academies teach these because most junior Soul Master Academies cannot obtain their first few Soul Rings while they are in school. They learn these so that they will have some basic knowledge of Soul Beasts after they leave school."

"For Soul Masters with innate Soul Power of Level Seven or above, the academy teaches how to fight across levels, the differences between Soul Masters, and the differences between Martial Souls. Some academies even teach students how to plan their future development. No one teaches the most suitable Soul Ring, because Soul Beasts are hard to find, and Soul Skills are even more uncertain."

After saying a couple of sentences, Dai Mubai couldn't continue. There was too much nonsense in low-level games; case studies were much more practical.

"The knowledge of highly talented Soul Masters is rapidly accumulated. They can absorb two hundred-year Soul Rings before the age of ten, two thousand-year Soul Rings before the age of eighteen, and come into contact with ten-thousand-year Soul Rings before the age of twenty-five."

"What's the use of learning the hundred-year-old soul beast encyclopedia? If you're talented enough, you won't need it until you're less than ten. And the thousand-year-old soul beast encyclopedia won't be useful until you're less than twenty."

At this point, Dai Mubai cast a sympathetic glance at Tang San.

"Highly talented Soul Masters can upgrade their Soul Rings very quickly, so why waste time and energy learning those things? Just to show off how knowledgeable they are?"

Tang San: ………

Indeed, he absorbed the second ring before he was even nine years old. At his current cultivation speed, he won't need a thousand-year soul ring for many more years.

Tang San recalled that during the time when he obtained his second spirit ring, he was still smug about the information that Yu Xiaogang had about thousand-year-old spirit beasts.

Looking back now, my studies with Yu Xiaogang were a complete joke!

Upon hearing the young man's words, Yu Xiaogang, realizing that there was indeed a problem with his teaching, quickly looked at Tang San.

Tang San stood there silently, a sense of inexplicable resentment emanating from him.

"Little San, have you forgotten the core theories of martial spirits I taught you? If I hadn't taken you to hunt that Mandragora Serpent, would your martial spirit have evolved after your first spirit ring?"

It was fine before Yu Xiaogang talked about the first time he obtained a spirit ring, but now that he heard him mention the first time he hunted for a spirit ring, a very memorable voice appeared in Tang San's mind.

"This is a ten-year-old bamboo, characterized by its toughness. Although its attack power is weak, its defense is quite good, which is quite suitable for your Blue Silver Grass martial soul."

"That……"

"Let's look around some more, and only choose this one if we really can't find anything suitable."

"..."

Tang San involuntarily let out a few helpless chuckles.

With his top-tier talents of twin martial souls and innate full soul power, if he hadn't encountered that Mandragora Serpent, the Ten-Year Lonely Bamboo might have truly become his first soul ring.

As for the martial soul mutation caused by the Mandragora Serpent soul ring that Yu Xiaogang mentioned, it was because he hadn't realized he could communicate with the Blue Silver Grass before.

Only after he was able to communicate with the Blue Silver Grass did he realize that without the Mandragora Serpent Soul Ring, he could communicate with other plants besides the Blue Silver Grass.

Even after being tricked like this, Tang San still felt that Yu Xiaogang had been of great help to him, at least the knowledge he provided was useful.

But now, after Dai Mubai's reminder, he suddenly realized that with his talent, he didn't need to learn those things at all.

Those things are a complete burden to me!

Upon hearing that Yu Xiaogang had helped Tang San obtain his first spirit ring from the Mandragora Snake, Zhilin was about to ask a few questions, but seeing Tang San's expression, he wisely refrained from interrupting.

If Zhilin doesn't understand Tang San, how could Lin Yu not understand him? Tang San is the kind of technically skilled person who is rather conservative and not good at expressing himself.

Influenced by his previous life in the Tang Clan, the profession of "teacher" is a dream job for him.

Expecting him to refute the "teacher"? Absolutely not!

In the original story, Tang San ultimately resorted to passive-aggressive tactics, such as refusing to take Yu Xiaogang to the God Realm.

Therefore, Lin Yu did not make things difficult for Tang San in this matter.
