Douluo Continent: I will always be one level above Tang San.

A flash of anger crossed Tang San's eyes.

Brother Lin Chuan already said he wouldn't fight, yet this little girl still dared to lay a hand on him?

And the first move was a ruthless chokehold?

My elder brother is a master of swordsmanship; how could he stoop to the level of a little girl like you?

Such trivial matters are naturally handled by me, the younger brother!

Tang San used Ghost Shadow Tracking to instantly grab Xiao Wu's wrist.

Immediately, he activated the Crane Control and Dragon Capture Technique, using the force to throw the opponent.

The two exchanged blows several times in an instant.

Xiao Wu's soft skills are exquisite, and Tang San's movement techniques are unpredictable.

In the end, Tang San refrained from using excessive force because the other party was a girl.

Xiao Wu was also surprised by Tang San's strength, and the two of them stepped back.

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes:

"That's amazing!"

"You're much stronger than that guy who just sits there! I'm not challenging him anymore, I'm challenging you!"

Tang San stood in front of Lin Chuan, coldly staring at Xiao Wu:

"You want to challenge me? No problem, but you're not allowed to disturb my older brother's rest."

"Moreover, the reason my elder brother didn't make a move is because you're simply not qualified to make him draw his sword."

"If he had made a move, you would be a corpse by now."

Xiao Wu was startled by Tang San's serious expression and stuck out her tongue:

"Tch, bragging. If you don't want to fight, then don't fight."

Lin Chuan sat in the back, watching Tang San's protective manner, and was secretly delighted.

[Ding! Detected that Tang San actively protected the host's dignity and repelled Xiao Wu.]

[System Feedback: Host's Agility +1.]

Lin Chuan stood up and patted Tang San on the shoulder:

"Alright, mistress."

"We're all classmates, let's stop here."

"Xiao Wu, right? You want to be the boss? Fine, but you'll be in charge of cleaning Dormitory 7 from now on."

"Why should I!" Xiao Wu protested.

Lin Chuan said seriously:

"The boss is in charge of hygiene; that's the usual practice here!"

"If you don't believe me, ask the previous generation's leader, Wang Sheng!"

Xiao Wu glanced at Lin Chuan, then at Tang San's cold expression, and sensed that something was amiss.

Wang Sheng, standing to the side, kept nodding and remained silent.

He was afraid he would break his composure.

Tang San thought to himself, "Why has Brother Lin Chuan suddenly started playing pranks on people too?"

......

Early the next morning.

Master Yu Xiaogang arrived at the entrance of Dormitory 7.

"Mistress, are you ready?"

"Today I'll take you to the Soul Hunter Forest to obtain your first Soul Ring."

The master changed into a more tailored outfit, making him look much more capable.

Tang San had already finished preparing.

But he did not agree immediately.

Instead, she looked at Lin Chuan, who was sleeping in bed.

Tang San said respectfully:

"teacher."

"Could we bring Brother Lin Chuan along?"

"He also has innate full soul power and needs to acquire a soul ring."

The master frowned slightly.

To be honest, he was still upset about Lin Chuan's refusal to become his disciple yesterday.

In his opinion, Lin Chuan was highly talented, but too arrogant.

Such people won't understand the importance of theory unless they stumble and fall.

The master said in a deep voice:

"Tang San, the Soul Hunting Forest is not a game."

"Taking care of you is already exhausting enough, if you add another one..."

Tang San suddenly knelt down:

"teacher!"

"Please! Brother Lin Chuan gave up becoming your disciple because of me."

"If he doesn't acquire a spirit ring, we won't be able to cultivate together."

"If you're not taking him, then... I won't go either!"

The master was taken aback, not expecting Tang San to be so stubborn.

He glanced at Lin Chuan and found that Lin Chuan was already awake.

The child was rubbing his eyes as he sat up, looking completely innocent.

The master sighed; to appease his beloved disciple, he had no choice but to compromise.

The master said, "Alright."

"However, let me make this clear from the start, Lin Chuan. Since you are not my disciple, you must follow my orders in all actions within the forest."

"I will not be responsible if you get into trouble because you wander off."

Lin Chuan yawned and slowly put on his shoes:

"Don't worry, Master. I'm terrified of dying, so I'll definitely hide behind you."

Actually, Lin Chuan was worried about how to get a soul ring.

Although the system can add points, soul rings need to have a legitimate source.

Following the master around for a while will be a good way to cover up our true intentions.

……

along the way.

The master wanted to save face in front of Lin Chuan.

It was also to teach Tang San.

He began to frantically output his theoretical knowledge.

"Look, that's a spotted cat, a ten-year-old soul beast, not very aggressive."

"That's a solitary bamboo, a plant..."

The master spoke eloquently, and Tang San listened attentively, taking notes diligently.

Lin Chuan ignored him completely, waving a foxtail grass around in his hand.

Finally, they encountered a lone bamboo.

"Tang San, look at this solitary bamboo."

The master pointed to a bamboo stalk by the roadside that gleamed with a bluish light:

"Although it has only been cultivated for ten years, the Lone Bamboo is resilient. If you absorb it, your Blue Silver Grass will become more resilient, which is in line with the control-type path I have set for you."

Tang San nodded thoughtfully:

"Resilience is indeed something Blue Silver Grass lacks."

The master glanced at Lin Chuan with a smug look.

The meaning is clear: this is the power of theory.

However, Lin Chuan suddenly burst out laughing.

"What? You have a different opinion?" The master's face darkened.

Lin Chuan shrugged:

"Master, I don't understand any theory."

"I just think, what's the most important characteristic of grass? It's its vitality!"

"Wildfire cannot burn it all; the spring breeze brings it back to life."

"To pursue resilience, go find a bamboo."

"Then why not just play with a hammer? Isn't a hammer harder than bamboo?"

Lin Chuan casually said:

"I believe that the essence of Blue Silver Grass is endless life."

"If this vitality can be developed to its fullest potential, whether it's entanglement or defense, who can break it?"

"Even if you break it off, it just grows back instantly. Isn't that the most disgusting kind of control?"

These words struck Tang San's mind like a bolt of lightning.

Vitality... it springs back to life with the spring breeze...

Tang San looked at the Blue Silver Grass in his hand and fell into deep thought.

The master taught how to make the blue silver grass resemble ropes and vines, pursuing both toxins and resilience.

But what Brother Lin Chuan said pointed directly to the source!

Yes!

Blue Silver Grass is weak because it is ubiquitous.

But it is precisely because it can be found everywhere that it has the strongest vitality.

If I abandon the life attribute to pursue poison and hardness, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

The master scoffed at Lin Chuan's words:

"Naive! Life attribute? Do you know how hard it is to find a soul beast with the life attribute?"

"Life attribute has no offensive power in the early stages. Do you want Tang San to become a support Soul Master who can only heal?"

"Blue Silver Herb is just an ordinary martial soul. If it doesn't focus on control and poison to enhance its lethality, it'll be truly useless!"

The master felt he had found Lin Chuan's weakness and launched a fierce rebuttal.

Tang San was caught in the middle, in a dilemma.

The teacher makes a good point, but my older brother makes an even better one.

Lin Chuan didn't argue, but simply said:

"Practice makes perfect."

"Mistress, listen to your teacher; after all, he's a professional."

This professional statement sounds jarring to the ears of a master.
