Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 117 Ning Rongrong's "My Brother Said"

"This is the conclusion my teacher came to through research on those with Blue Silver Grass spirits. I cultivated to Soul Master status using Blue Silver Grass. What makes you say there's something wrong with my attribute selection and the wrong combination of soul skills? You should know that there's no Blue Silver Grass spirit master with my level of cultivation before.

Tang San was already gritting his teeth. He had been studying with Yu Xiaogang for so many years and knew that even if the owners of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Spirit on the mainland had soul power, very few could reach the level of Great Soul Master, let alone Soul Venerable.

"I didn't say there was anything wrong with your attributes and soul skill choices, it's just not the optimal solution! Also, could it be that you were able to cultivate to Soul Master at this age because of your high innate soul power? My brother said that although a soul master's cultivation is related to the quality of their martial soul to a certain extent, it is more about aptitude. And aptitude is the innate soul power displayed during awakening. The higher the innate soul power, the faster the cultivation speed will naturally be."

Ning Rongrong blinked and softly retorted, but when she mentioned "brother", her eyes were filled with smugness and pride. Everyone besides Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, because they had seen this expression before. It was the same expression Xiao Wu had when she mentioned Tang San.

Tang San was stunned because what Ning Rongrong said seemed to be right. The soul power he had when he awakened was the full innate soul power, while the other Blue Silver Grass soul masters studied by the master had innate soul power of no more than level two.

Ning Rongrong shook her finger and continued, "My brother also said that if a spirit master doesn't know how to add spirit rings after awakening, the best person to learn from is a spirit beast. Aside from weapon spirits like mine, any plant spirit or beast spirit can find a corresponding spirit beast on the continent. And those spirit beasts adapt to their environment in order to survive, so their attributes must be the most suitable for them."

Tang San retorted: "But I've never heard of a Blue Silver Grass Soul Beast. It's just a weed with a strong vitality on the roadside!"

"Brother, that blue silver grass has a soul beast. I've seen it before!"

Xiao Wu, who was sitting next to him, gently tugged at Tang San's arm and said a little embarrassedly that others didn't know whether there were soul beasts in the Blue Silver Grass, but as a transformed soul beast of a hundred thousand years old, she knew, and her strength was not bad. Even ten thousand year old soul beasts didn't dare to step into the Blue Silver Forest easily.

Tang San couldn't believe it: "Xiao Wu, you really saw it!"

Xiao Wu nodded.

Ning Rongrong said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that Blue Silver Grass is found all over the continent, mostly as roadside weeds. However, a large number of them can grow into soul beasts as they survive, thanks to the Blue Silver Grass's rare life properties."

"My brother once said that the vitality of Blue Silver Grass ranks among the top five of all soul beasts. After 50,000 years of cultivation, it evolves into a Blue Silver King. Its vitality is extremely strong. Often, as soon as you damage its trunk or roots, it will recover in the next second, making it very difficult to kill."

"The Blue Silver Emperor is even more special. Only one can exist on the entire continent at a time. Its vitality is so strong that no one can kill it except through self-sacrifice or a thunderstorm every 100,000 years. Even if you completely destroy its trunk and roots, it can still be reborn from the grass seeds scattered across the continent in just forty-nine days."

Tang Hao, who was hiding in the dark far away, had already burst into tears when he heard Ning Rongrong's words. He thought of that day. If it weren't for him, Ah Yin would never have died!
Tang San also understood and murmured softly: "So the attribute that best suits Blue Silver Grass is Life."

"Yes! Yes!" Ning Rongrong nodded proudly and continued, "Actually, my father is quite supportive of Yu Xiaogang. It's just that due to his weak cultivation, he can't personally experience the later stages of Soul Master cultivation. So he can only learn from books and guess which methods are feasible based on what they say. But are the contents of books always correct?! My brother said that some things can only be best judged through personal experience."

No one present, including Tang San, could refute this. Every spirit master has their own set of ideas, and they're incredibly confident in them. This is especially true for those who love books. They simply believe their own theories are correct, like Tang San. Before Ning Rongrong's warning, he believed his combination of attributes and spirit skills was the most perfect, and no one else could match him. However, it's precisely this mentality that leaves much of the book untrue, requiring spirit masters to make their own judgments. Xu Yang also understood from the outset that the ten core theories were flawed, which is why he harbored doubts about the book's content and didn't fully trust it.

It is better to have no books than to believe in them blindly. This sentence is the best answer.

Ning Rongrong's theoretical explanation had not yet ended, but as they listened, the corners of the mouths of the other people present began to twitch. Why did Ning Rongrong say "my brother said" every other sentence? What kind of magic did her brother have that made her so obsessed and trusting?

Even the aloof Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but be curious and asked softly, "Rongrong, you kept mentioning 'my brother!' Who is he?!"

Everyone turned their attention to Ning Rongrong, wanting to know who this 'my brother' was.

Ning Rongrong said proudly, as if showing off her best assets: "My brother! He's my father's disciple. He's seventeen years old, has the Sun Spirit, and is a level sixty-three Powerful Attack-type Battle Spirit Emperor. He's the strongest talent of the younger generation of our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. My father says he's the best even on this continent."

However, Ning Rongrong was also very rational. She did not say everything just because she was still young. She knew what to say and what not to say. She only talked about Xu Yang's martial spirit and cultivation, which were already transparent information. She did not mention the spirit ring configuration, spirit skills and other information that Ning Fengzhi did not allow to be disclosed.
"What?! Seventeen years old, and already a Soul Emperor!"

Everyone looked at Ning Rongrong in disbelief. They couldn't believe that someone could reach such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. Everyone present considered themselves a genius.

Especially Tang San, who was able to reach the level of Soul Master before the age of twelve, and believed that few people in the younger generation could compare with him. But now, after hearing about Xu Yang's cultivation level, he actually felt a little frustrated. He did not think that he could reach the level of Soul Emperor in five years. You know, the higher the level of Soul Master, the more soul power is required for each level, and the slower the improvement.

At the same time, he also felt indignant. Why could Xu Yang do it but he couldn't?

Could it be that some external force was used? It must be.

At this moment, Dai Mubai seemed to have thought of this as well and asked, "Rongrong, is your brother taking drugs? This is..."

Before Dai Mubai could finish his words, Ning Rongrong interrupted him. "My brother has reached the ninth level of innate soul power and is worthy of a title. How could my father allow him to ruin his future by taking drugs? His cultivation level is all the result of his own hard work."

As Ning Rongrong finished speaking, Xu Yang, who was far away in Tiandou Academy, sneezed and felt a chill.
