Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 135 Blue Silver Grass Doesn't Achieve Family Rule: The Eleventh Core Competitive Advantage of Martial Souls (Part Two)

Shrek Academy.

Grove.

With Tang Hao's arrival, the grove in the academy has become Tang Hao's secluded training ground for Tang San, and other members of Shrek Academy generally do not come to disturb him unless it is urgent.

"Sit down," Tang Hao said, pointing to the ground.

Tang San was taken aback for a moment, but still sat down as instructed, though he was somewhat confused about what Tang Hao wanted him to do.

Seeing Tang San sit down, Tang Hao slowly said, "Little San, you have been undergoing special training in mental strength for more than a month now. Although your strength is still somewhat lacking, you can try to awaken your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul."

Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes were filled with emotion. He had worked so hard for so long, and finally he could awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul and have the opportunity to defeat Zhao Mu.

"Adjust your state, release your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and then use your heart to carefully feel the Blue Silver Grass around you, and try to communicate with them." Tang Hao further guided Tang San.

Without thinking much, Tang San immediately followed Tang Hao's instructions, closed his eyes, and released his Blue Silver Grass martial soul on its own, which slowly emerged around Tang San's body, condensing his spiritual power and spreading outwards.

Blue silver grass is a very common plant on the mainland and belongs to the lowest level of plants.

Tang San then understood why Tang Hao had asked him to sit here, because the amount of Blue Silver Grass here was relatively large and its growth was relatively lush.

Having lived two lives, it wasn't difficult for Tang San to calm his mind. Soon, he composed himself and entered a strange state.

At this moment, Tang San finally experienced something different. The Blue Silver Grass around him seemed to come alive, and he could feel their joys and sorrows.

Tang San's mental strength increased again, making this feeling clearer and clearer. He had gone from initially sensing the joys and sorrows of the Blue Silver Grass to being able to hear a faint sound.

These sounds came from the blue silver grass; the sounds were mixed and chaotic, as if one were in a noisy area.

As his spiritual power gradually expanded, Tang San sensed an increasingly powerful aura of the Blue Silver Grass, and heard more and more sounds.

Gradually, Tang San became immersed in this feeling, and all the Blue Silver Grass seemed to have a sense of intimacy with him.

This was an emotion he had never felt before. Gradually, Tang San no longer needed to release too much mental energy. Every Blue Silver Grass in the forest released a faint mental fluctuation. Although each Blue Silver Grass was not strong and was very weak, the sheer number of them made up for it. The Blue Silver Grass covering the ground united to form a huge mental magnetic field and successfully connected with Tang San's mental energy.

After the link was established, Tang San's perception range increased exponentially. Each Blue Silver Grass seemed to become one of Tang San's senses, allowing him to obtain information from the outside world.

At the same time, a voice suddenly rang in Tang San's mind without warning: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is it really you? You have finally been able to inspire your people."

"King? Is he talking about me? Shouldn't I be the Blue Silver Emperor?" Tang San muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty, if you may, please come to me and see your people again," the voice continued.

Tang San slowly woke up to the sound and subconsciously looked at Tang Hao.

At this moment, Tang Hao, standing beside Tang San, revealed a faint smile. Tang Hao had naturally already vaguely sensed the changes in Tang San, and then said, "Little San, you should have felt it by now, right? Go on, I'll wait for you here. With their help, you can awaken the true Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul. At that time, your soul power will also increase, and you might be able to directly reach level 40 and obtain your fourth soul ring. You should know that sometimes obtaining a soul ring does not necessarily require hunting soul beasts."

"Hmm? It's not necessary to hunt all the spirit beasts?" Tang San suddenly remembered what Xiao Wu had said. It seemed that Zhao Mu's spirit rings were not all obtained by hunting spirit beasts. It seemed that he needed to talk to his teacher about this.

Tang Hao nodded: "Once you go, you'll know everything."

After receiving Tang Hao's support and permission, Tang San followed the call of his spirit and left Shrek Academy and Heaven Dou City.

Stepping back into the forest outside Heaven Dou City, Tang San suddenly felt as if he had returned home. The threatening aura from the spirit beasts on the road had noticeably faded, as if all the spirit beasts were making way for him.

Without further hesitation, Tang San leaped up and sped off toward the direction of the spiritual call.

Wherever he went, all the Blue Silver Grass swayed excitedly, as if welcoming Tang San.

After traveling for nearly two hours, Tang San finally arrived at a deep forest. Everywhere he looked, there were towering trees with dense canopies that blocked out all the sunlight.

Cool, moist, and full of life.

This is an ancient primeval forest, its age unknown, and surprisingly, it is free from the intrusion of spirit beasts. All the plants here are thriving, even more so than those outside.

"My king, I'm here~" The spiritual call appeared again, the voice carrying a hint of excitement.

Following the sound, Tang San passed through two more large trees that required several people to encircle before finally seeing the special plant ahead.

It was a special thing made up of countless intertwined vines, standing more than ten meters tall. Its entire body was a clear blue, and its surface shimmered with the crystalline quality of vines. Around it, the Blue Silver Grass grew exceptionally lushly.

At this moment, it was swaying slightly, and in the very center of the vine, there was a faint trace that looked like a human face.

At this moment, it seemed as if he was smiling at Tang San.

The aura emanating from this vine was so powerful that it made Tang San appear somewhat restrained.

From the central face, a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted, enveloping Tang San.

"Was that voice just now?" Tang San stared intently at the giant vine in front of him, sensing that it harbored no hostility towards him.

"Yes, Great King, it is I who am communicating with you. After so many years, welcome back to our family."

The human face entwined in the center of the vines twitched slightly, and it opened its mouth to speak human language.

"Who are you?" Tang San asked curiously.

The vine-faced creature smiled and said, "Great King, I am also a king of Blue Silver Grass, but you have a more noble bloodline than I do. To reach your level of bloodline cultivation, I still need to cultivate for at least another 15,000 years!"

Tang San had already learned from Tang Hao that his mother was a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, so by deduction, the vines in front of him must be a soul beast that was over 85,000 years old.

How could the Blue Silver Grass, a spirit known as a useless martial soul, survive and cultivate to this extent?!

"Great King, you possess the purest and noblest Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, which no Blue Silver Grass can compare to," the Blue Silver King continued.

Blue Silver Emperor bloodline? Tang San's heart stirred, and he understood Tang Hao's purpose in having him practice his spiritual power and communicate with the Blue Silver Grass—all for this moment.

Tang San realized that the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within him likely required these Blue Silver Grasses to awaken. However, he couldn't directly ask the Blue Silver King to help him awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. Instead, after listening to the other party's rambling and incessant chatter for a long time, feeling a sense of rapport, he finally spoke to the human-faced Blue Silver King:
"Hello, my Blue Silver Grass is no different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Can you help me awaken it into Blue Silver Emperor?"

Upon hearing this, a look of guilt appeared on the humanoid face of the Blue Silver King.

“Great King, your Blue Silver Emperor is no different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass. This is our fault.”

Hearing what the Blue Silver King said, Tang San didn't continue to blame him, but instead asked, "Can you help me awaken now?"

As he spoke, Tang San's eyes still held a hint of anticipation.

However, what greeted Tang San was the Blue Silver King's face, which swayed slightly: "I'm sorry, my king, I cannot help you awaken the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline."

"Why?" Upon hearing this, Tang San couldn't sit still any longer and shouted anxiously. After all, his father had said that the Blue Silver Emperor might be the key to defeating Zhao Mu, avenging his father, and retrieving his mother's belongings. So, hearing that the other party couldn't help him awaken the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang San naturally became anxious.

Seemingly understanding Tang San's thoughts, the Blue Silver King patiently said, "Great King, you are the king of us Blue Silver Grass, but now you can only be a king, because we have sensed a being who is more noble than all of us Blue Silver Grass, more than me, and even more than you. We Blue Silver Grass have decided to offer our loyalty and strength to him."

"As your former subordinate, I really hope to help you awaken your martial soul, but this is not something I can do alone. It requires the joint efforts of countless Blue Silver Grass members. Therefore, I can only represent my own wishes and cannot represent the other Blue Silver Grass members. We Blue Silver Grass members also value democracy."

Tang San, however, refused to give up and continued, "Isn't the Blue Silver Emperor lineage passed down in this world? Only when the previous Blue Silver Emperor dies will the next Blue Silver Emperor appear. Shouldn't I be the only person in the world who has the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline?"

Blue Silver King nodded: "Great King, you are indeed the only person with the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline in the present day. Logically, you should also be the first successor of the Blue Silver Emperor. It's just a pity that a bloodline with a nobler bloodline than yours appeared some time ago."

"You are at most the king of Blue Silver Grass, while he is the king of all plant types. His bloodline is purer and more powerful than yours!"

"To the west of here lies a sacred land, where all beings are beyond the reach of us Blue Silver Grass. Not long ago, they hailed him as emperor. With their support, he is the true emperor of our plant system. We Blue Silver Grass are too weak to be enemies with other plant systems. We cannot, and we cannot do it. Therefore, we can only offer our loyalty to him."

"The blessing we bestowed upon him by gathering all our Blue Silver Grass is our gift to the new emperor. Therefore, we have no more energy to help you awaken your bloodline unless we recover our strength."

Hearing this, Tang San, though unwilling, still suppressed his anger and asked, "How long will it take?"

Seeing that Tang San seemed to be relenting, the Blue Silver King continued with a smile, "Great King, it won't be long, just a few hundred years, before we can recover our energy to awaken your martial soul."

"."

Tang San was initially relieved when he heard the other party say it wouldn't be long, but who knew that "not long" would actually mean several hundred years?

That's true. Considering the Blue Silver King's lifespan of over 85,000 years, a few hundred years is indeed not a long time.

"Isn't there any other way? Can't you help me awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul first?" Tang San was already somewhat out of control.

Meanwhile, the Blue Silver King opposite Tang San also put away his smile.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty, we cannot do that. This is the choice made by nearly 90% of the Blue Silver Grass. We will pledge our loyalty to the new emperor, including you.”

"Furthermore, if I may be so disrespectful, you only possess the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor. There is no other suitable successor. You are the best choice to become the Blue Silver Emperor. In fact, it will only take 15,000 years before I become the new Blue Silver Emperor, and my offspring will also possess the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor just like you."

"Just because you possess the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor doesn't mean you will necessarily become our new emperor. We Blue Silver Grasses do not practice family rule."

Seeing that the Blue Silver King remained unyielding, Tang San was anxious but helpless. Fight? He seemed unable to defeat the Blue Silver King before him.

Besides, why bother arguing with a blade of grass?

In the end, Tang San could only leave in a dejected manner, and the Blue Silver King did not try to stop him.

Not only the Blue Silver King, but also the Blue Silver Grass by the roadside, waved and lined the road to welcome Tang San when he first arrived. Now that Tang San has left, the Blue Silver Grass by the roadside has not made any move or expressed any opinion.

As a result, Tang San encountered several soul beasts on his way back to Shrek Academy, but fortunately, he returned to Shrek Academy safely.

Seeing Tang San's exact replica, Tang Hao frowned slightly: "Little San, what's wrong with you?"

Based on Tang Hao's understanding, Tang San should have experienced some of Ah Yin's influence after awakening his martial soul, the Blue Silver Empress. But Tang San is completely unaffected now? What's going on?

After hearing Tang San's explanation, Tang Hao was even more puzzled.

"The new emperor?"

The Blue Silver Emperors are all from the same lineage, so could it be that the third sister has an older brother? Did Ah Yin give herself a hat?
After all, anything can happen in a place that has lived for 100,000 years.

Without the help of the Blue Silver King, Tang Hao didn't know how to help Tang San awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

In the end, feeling disappointed and helpless, Tang San could only seek answers from his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, to see if there were any other methods to awaken his martial soul a second time.

"A second awakening of a martial soul is basically impossible unless there is external interference," Yu Xiaogang said softly.

"External interference? What kind of external force?" Tang San then asked.

Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment and concluded that what could affect the awakening of a martial soul must be some rare and precious natural treasures.

Unable to get an answer from Yu Xiaogang, Tang San became even more disappointed. However, Tang San seemed to remember something and said to Yu Xiaogang, "By the way, teacher, is it true that a Soul Master can only obtain a Soul Ring by hunting Soul Beasts? Xiao Wu said that Zhao Mu's Soul Ring was not obtained by hunting Soul Beasts, and my father also said that Soul Rings are not necessarily obtained by hunting."

"Huh? Are you serious?" Yu Xiaogang suddenly perked up.

Tang San nodded affirmatively, because Xiao Wu and his father both said so, so Tang San naturally believed it as well.

Similarly, if it were Xiao Wu, Yu Xiaogang would still have some doubts, but if it were his idol, Haotian Douluo, who said it, then Yu Xiaogang would really believe it.

"Spirit rings aren't necessarily obtained by hunting spirit beasts?!"

"If what the mistress said is true, then this might become my eleventh major martial soul core competitiveness!"
