Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 137 The Extraordinary Blue Silver Grass

"Both teams unleash their martial spirits; the match will officially begin in half a minute!"

On the arena, at the referee's command, the fourteen members of the Shrek team and the Royal Fighting team's vice team unleashed their soul power, their beast souls possessing them, and their weapon souls manifesting.

In an instant, numerous yellow and purple soul rings bloomed, and among these fourteen people whose highest soul power level was only four rings, there was also a black ten-thousand-year soul ring.

"A ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring?!"

Immediately, the seven members of the Royal Fighting Deputy Team were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

The Shrek Academy team, which they looked down upon, actually had three four-ring Soul Masters, and one of them even had a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring.

Meanwhile, the tens of thousands of spectators in the stands were also in an uproar.

Although the vast majority of them were just ordinary people without any soul power cultivation, those who were willing to spend a lot of money to buy tickets to watch the opening ceremony of the Soul Master Competition were all rich people.

Even if you're not a Soul Master, you've probably heard that the best Soul Ring combination for a four-ring Soul Master is yellow-yellow-purple-purple. This black ten-thousand-year Soul Ring is something that even many five-ring level "big shots" might not be able to possess!

Huyan Li: Hmph!

"It really is a ten-thousand-year spirit ring!"

Looking at the ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring that shone on Tang San's body on the arena, Mu Yang in the stands thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

Tang San cultivated the Purple Demon Eye for many years. Even though he lacked the Autumn Water Dew, a divine herb that enhances spiritual power, compared to the original story, when he cultivated to the level 40 Quasi-Soul Master, his spiritual power would definitely not be weaker than that of an ordinary level 50 Soul Master. It was enough to withstand the soul shock formed by the remnant spirit of the soul beast in the ten-thousand-year soul ring.

With the addition of whale glue, which can enhance physical fitness, it is not impossible for Tang San to obtain a fourth spirit ring for ten thousand years.

Moreover, it wasn't just the fourth spirit ring that exceeded the age limit; Tang San's third spirit ring also didn't have the optimal age of around 1,500 years. Judging from its color, it was estimated to be over 4,000 years old.

Furthermore, Mu Yang could clearly see that of the fourteen members from the two teams on the arena, only one of the older-looking level 38 Soul Masters in the Royal Fighting Vice Team had a normal Soul Ring configuration. The other thirteen members all had Soul Rings that exceeded their age limit. Some had only one, while others had two Soul Rings that exceeded their age limit.

Among them, in addition to the qualitative change in the age of Tang San's fourth spirit ring, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's second spirit rings also underwent a qualitative change, becoming purple thousand-year spirit rings, just like Mu Yang.

Well, the person in the Royal Fighting team who didn't have a transcendent spirit ring was an unlucky guy. He had just advanced to the third-ring spirit master level when Blazing Fire Academy sold information about whale glue to various major forces. In addition, his cultivation talent was somewhat poor. In the past five and a half years, he still hadn't reached level 40, which is why he couldn't obtain a transcendent spirit ring.

Otherwise, the students of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, who are all from noble families, wouldn't be unable to afford whale glue.

"A ten-thousand-year spirit ring? Interesting!"

Looking at Tang San, who was displaying four spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, and black—on the field, Huo Wu, who was standing with her arms crossed, raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a hint of surprise.

Huo Wu herself already possessed a fourth spirit ring that lasted for ten thousand years, so she knew exactly how strong a spirit master's physical attributes and mental strength would need to be to attach a fourth spirit ring that lasted for ten thousand years.

With whale glue, a treasure that can enhance a Soul Master's physical attributes, the test of physical attributes when adding a fourth Soul Ring of ten thousand years is not too difficult, but it is not so easy to meet the standard in terms of mental strength.

The fourth soul ring in ten thousand years means that Tang San either refined a precious head soul bone or, like her, possessed a method of cultivating spiritual power.

It's just that Tang San's soul power level is a bit low, only a level 42 Soul Master, and his martial soul is a useless one like Blue Silver Grass. He will definitely be no match for the phoenix flames condensed by her Phoenix Fire Shadow martial soul. Otherwise, he would definitely be one of the opponents she should take seriously.

But then again, how could a useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass be cultivated to the level of a four-ring Soul Master? This must be a fake Blue Silver Grass!

"Xiao Yang, you know so much. How did that person from Shrek Academy manage to cultivate their Blue Silver Grass to the Fourth Realm?"

Huo Wushuang asked Mu Yang the question that Huo Wu had been wondering about.

Upon hearing this, everyone around turned to look at Mu Yang.

After a moment's thought, Mu Yang said, "This person looks young, but he has cultivated to the fourth level of the realm. His talent is enough to be considered top-notch in this world."

A Soul Master with a powerful Martial Soul does not necessarily possess a high level of innate Soul Power. Just like the direct descendants of the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, not every one of them can grow into a strong person. They can only guarantee that, under normal circumstances, their minimum level will not be too low.

However, a soul master with a weak spirit will certainly not have high innate spirit power, let alone a Blue Silver Grass spirit which is known as a useless spirit.

In other words, either his Blue Silver Grass martial soul is fundamentally different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass, or he possesses a second martial soul.

However, the prerequisite for having twin martial souls is that the two martial souls are of similar quality. But a Blue Silver Grass martial soul plus a second martial soul that is similar to Blue Silver Grass is not enough to awaken a high level of innate soul power.

In other words, even without twin martial souls, his Blue Silver Grass martial soul must be extraordinary.

Of course, it's also possible that he was originally just an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Soul Master who later obtained a special opportunity that led to such an incredible event.

However, even if his cultivation talent undergoes a qualitative change due to a special opportunity, his originally ordinary Blue Silver Grass martial soul will become extraordinary because of the improvement in his cultivation talent.

The so-called special opportunities naturally refer to things like cheat codes or rare medicinal herbs that can defy fate.

As soon as Mu Yang finished speaking, everyone looked bewildered.

Hmm, although I don't understand some of it, what you said sounds very reasonable.

However, Mu Yang is right. Being able to cultivate to the fourth-ring Soul Master realm with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is a new historical high for countless Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters on the continent. This Blue Silver Grass is definitely not ordinary.

Fortunately, the Great Soul Arena was too noisy for Tang San, who was already fighting on the stage, to hear Mu Yang's "reasoning." Otherwise, Tang San, whose secrets had been exposed, would have labeled Mu Yang as someone who was courting death.

Of course, Mu Yang's reasoning is also based on evidence. Even if one has not read the original work, a truly knowledgeable scholar can deduce it.

As for Yu Xiaogang's assertion in the original work that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass spirit was not very good and that his innate full spirit power was simply due to his second spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, that was merely a result of the master's lack of knowledge.

After all, his assertion first and foremost overturned the correct theory that the two martial souls of a twin martial soul master must have the same quality.

However, it seems that Yu Xiaogang cannot be blamed for being blind, since Tang San's Blue Silver Grass martial soul did indeed behave similarly to ordinary Blue Silver Grass before awakening the Emperor's bloodline.

If it weren't for the optimal soul ring configuration in the original story, and the fact that Tang San had super-limit soul rings added from his third soul ring onwards, coupled with his mastery of various Tang Sect secret techniques and hidden weapons, Tang San would have been destined to be a weakling among his peers before awakening the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.
