Chapter 46 First Soul Ring Skill (Part 3)

After a martial soul obtains a soul ring, its skills will undergo a mutation process before they are generated. Different martial souls and the same soul ring will produce completely different skills, and vice versa. Even if the age of the soul ring is different, the skills will be very different.

Therefore, even though the master's research on martial souls was quite in-depth, he still couldn't be sure what the effect of Tang San's first soul ring was.

Tang San said, "Teacher, I've been testing it with some weak ten-year-old soul beasts these past few days. You're right, the Blue Silver Grass does inherit some of the venom of the Mandragora Serpent, but it doesn't have the deadly, aggressive poison. Instead, it has the paralyzing effect of the Mandragora Serpent's venom. However, it only works upon direct contact. The venom isn't extremely potent, but the restrictive effect is very noticeable. The Blue Silver Grass's skill is Entanglement. By controlling it with soul power, it can entangle the enemy's body, rendering them unable to move."

As he spoke, Tang San used his soul power to control the Blue Silver Grass he released and unleashed its skills.

More than ten dark blue blades of grass suddenly burst forth from the bushes and quickly wrapped around a thick tree trunk. The blades of grass swirled out, covering an area of ​​ten square meters. Anyone within this area had no chance to dodge.

In an instant, more than ten strands of blue silver grass had tightly wrapped around the big tree.

A thoughtful glint appeared in the master's eyes. "I was right, it's a characteristic of control-type Soul Masters. If you have a powerful attacker to cooperate with, your Martial Soul's effect will be even more pronounced. The so-called control-type Soul Master is one who controls the opponent's actions and restrains them as much as possible. This entanglement skill serves this purpose. It also has a paralysis effect, so unless the enemy is two Soul Rings stronger than you, it's impossible for them to break free from this entanglement skill. Little Three, we succeeded."

When the topic of martial spirits came up, the master didn't seem like someone who had been seriously injured at all. His eyes shone brightly, and his tone was filled with indescribable excitement.

The most distinctive feature of Blue Silver Grass's entangling skill is its suddenness. Tang San tested it; within a 50-meter range, he could control Blue Silver Grass to launch attacks from any position. It's virtually impossible to defend against. Especially in dense forests, Blue Silver Grass provides even better cover.

Tang San cooked another pot of meat soup and chopped the thoroughly cooked dried meat into smaller pieces to feed Master.

With food in their stomachs, the master's recovery speed increased, but they had to prepare to leave the Soul Hunter Forest because the food and water they had brought on this trip had been used up in the past few days.

This was even with Tang San trying his best to save money.

Grandmaster had not yet regained his ability to move, so Tang San carried him out of the Spirit Forest. Due to the huge difference in their physiques, Grandmaster's legs dangled on the ground the whole way. With his extraordinary strength and internal energy, Tang San, under Grandmaster's guidance, carried him step by step out of the Spirit Forest and returned to Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy by carriage.

Throughout the journey, whether Tang San was taking care of Master or carrying him out of the forest, Master never uttered a word of thanks. However, the way he looked at Tang San seemed to no longer be just looking at a disciple who had fulfilled his dream, but rather the kind of emotion that should appear in Tang Hao's eyes.

"A teacher for a day is a father for life." These simple eight words are deeply imprinted in the master's heart.

After several days of rest and Tang San's meticulous care, when they returned to the academy, Grandmaster was able to walk with Tang San's help. However, according to Tang San's estimate, the poison he had suffered had severely damaged his vital energy, and it would take at least a month for him to fully recover.

Grandmaster was only a guest elder at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. He had a good relationship with the dean, but he had no relatives. In the future, Tang San would naturally be responsible for taking care of his teacher, something he had already thought through. He had even been planning how to take care of Grandmaster every day on the way there.

It was during the morning classes, and everything at Notting Academy was quiet. Tang San helped Grandmaster back to his room and laid him on the bed.

"You're finally back, teacher. You can get some rest now. Please take good care of your injury during this time and don't overexert yourself. If you need anything, just let me know."

The master nodded silently and said, "I didn't expect to escape death this time. It's alright that my body has recovered, but your cultivation cannot be interrupted. At the same time, you have to do something. Xiao San, bring me the second book from the left on the third shelf on the left."

"Okay." Tang San took a thick book as instructed by his master. To his surprise, the book had no title.

The master did not take the book from his hand, and said, "This book records some of my research on cultivating soul power. Although soul power is cultivated by circulating one's own soul power through meditation, there are many techniques involved. It records in detail what kind of circulation path is easier to improve strength, what kind of martial soul is most suitable for cultivation in what environment. I cannot personally guide you during this period, but you must not slack off."

"Yes." Tang San replied respectfully. Although he hadn't opened the book yet, he was already feeling a strange shock.

After this breakthrough in spirit rings, he gained a comprehensive understanding of martial spirits. According to his understanding, this so-called spirit power is actually a kind of internal force, but most people cultivate it by simply circulating it without any rules.
