Douluo Continent: Possessing Tang San's Body, Inheriting Life and Destruction

Tang San decided to continue the charade of becoming a disciple, first obtaining the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night and Yu Xiaogang's collection of books.

The title "teacher" isn't given lightly.

Tang San's thoughts shifted, and he realized that he was being a bit shameless himself.

But what can we do? Let them be shameless!

I can only be gentler with him in the future.

Tang San took a deep breath, raised his head, composed his expression, suppressed all resistance and reluctance on his face, and put on that innocent and obedient look.

Yu Xiaogang's residence is a room in the corner of the top floor of the dormitory building.

Tang San climbed up the stairs and arrived at Yu Xiaogang's door.

Tang San raised his hand and knocked on the door, calling out in a clear voice, "Teacher, I'm here."

The door was already ajar, and it opened with a gentle push. Tang San stepped inside, his gaze quickly sweeping around.

The room wasn't big, probably only about 30 square meters.

The furnishings were extremely simple: a single bed, a desk, two chairs, and two large bookshelves that occupied two entire walls and were filled with all kinds of books.

Tang San's heart stirred slightly. These were the books Yu Xiaogang had collected over decades. Although the man himself wasn't much of a figure, his books were certainly valuable.

"You're here, please have a seat."

Yu Xiaogang was sitting at his desk, holding a pen in his hand, with an open book in front of him, seemingly writing something.

Tang San sat down in the empty chair and noticed that there were no packaged steamed buns and chicken legs on the table as in the original story.

Indeed, just now in the cafeteria, Tang San and a group of work-study students were eating heartily on the second floor, and Yu Xiaogang must have seen it too.

Yu Xiaogang put down his pen, his gaze falling on Tang San's face. He went straight to the point: "You are six years old this year, with innate full soul power and twin martial souls. Release your other martial soul so I can see it."

Tang San was prepared. He shook his head helplessly, his tone tinged with difficulty: "I'm sorry, teacher, I promised my father that I wouldn't reveal my second spirit unless it was a life-or-death crisis. I can only tell you that my second spirit is a hammer."

Tang San knew very well that the Clear Sky Hammer could not be shown to just anyone, and whether Yu Xiaogang could guess it was another matter.

Although Yu Xiaogang never revealed this matter in the original novel, Tang San should also develop this habit.

"Hammer? Tang San, his surname is Tang..."

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, muttered to himself, and his gaze became thoughtful.

Suddenly, Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened slightly, as if he had guessed something, and his voice carried a hint of surprise: "I understand. No wonder you are so strong and can lift such a heavy Vajra hammer."

Although Yu Xiaogang was not very strong, he had a fairly clear understanding of the forces on the mainland. He could quickly guess the general idea by associating the world with the Tang family and those who used hammers.

Tang San didn't reply; he just sat quietly.

Yu Xiaogang composed himself and said seriously, "You did the right thing. Never add a spirit ring to this spirit again."

"I know," Tang San nodded.

Tang San was certainly aware of this. The correct way to cultivate twin martial souls was to first attach a spirit ring to one martial soul, and then, once the cultivation reached a bottleneck, go back and attach a high-level spirit ring to the second martial soul.

In the original story, Bibi Dong did exactly that, and Tang San naturally knew he had to do the same. Moreover, in order for his body to withstand the impact of the energy of eighteen spirit rings, he needed to constantly refine his body and increase its strength.

"Very good." Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject, "The most urgent thing now is to take you to find a suitable spirit ring so that you can advance to the level of a spirit master. After my foot injury heals in a few days, I will take you to the Soul Hunting Forest."

Tang San felt a surge of satisfaction, but outwardly nodded obediently, "Okay."

"From now on, you'll spend one hour here every day, and I'll teach you about martial spirits. You can also freely take any of the books here to read. You can arrange your own meditation and cultivation during the rest of the time. I'll take care of things at the academy, so you don't need to worry."

After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he looked at Tang San and suddenly asked, "What are your thoughts on the Blue Silver Grass martial soul?"

"I don't know, please enlighten me, teacher," Tang San replied, feigning confusion.

Yu Xiaogang's lips curled into a slight smile, clearly satisfied with the answer; he now had a chance to shine. Yu Xiaogang cleared his throat and began his long-winded explanation: "Let me first tell you about the characteristics of a Martial Soul..."

In the following time, Yu Xiaogang talked on and on about martial spirit knowledge, from the classification of martial spirits to the corresponding age of spirit rings, and then to the development direction of spirit masters.

Tang San forced himself to stay awake, keeping his eyes fixed on Yu Xiaogang, pretending to listen attentively and nodding occasionally. But Tang San's thoughts had already drifted outside the academy; he was thinking: Where can I buy a blanket later?

"...Every Soul Master has a development path, such as combat, healing, control, and so on. Now, before acquiring Soul Rings, you must first decide on the future development direction of your Martial Soul. A Soul Master's Martial Soul cultivation must develop in one direction."

Yu Xiaogang's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, pulling Tang San back from his thoughts of buying quilts.

Tang San composed himself, pulled his thoughts back, and feigned sudden realization before respectfully saying, "Teacher, since you are so knowledgeable about martial spirits, please enlighten me."

Seeing how sensible Tang San was, Yu Xiaogang became noticeably excited and slowly nodded: "Based on my plan and comprehensive analysis of the Blue Silver Grass research, I suggest you develop in the direction of control. Control can be considered a battle spirit master or a weapon spirit master; it is an existence that oscillates between the two."

Tang San stared blankly at Yu Xiaogang, his mind buzzing... just like the torment of wanting to sleep but not being able to when he was in school in his previous life.

Seeing Tang San staring blankly at him, Yu Xiaogang assumed Tang San hadn't understood, so he patiently explained, "A control-type Soul Master refers to someone who uses their Martial Soul to restrict their opponent, achieving either support or attack purposes. For example, take your Blue Silver Grass. Although Blue Silver Grass is inherently weak, it's not without its advantages."

"What are the advantages of Blue Silver Grass?" Tang San finally regained his attention after hearing Yu Xiaogang say that his Blue Silver Grass was weak, and asked the question.

"Although Blue Silver Grass itself is weak, that's precisely why it doesn't reject any type of spirit ring." Yu Xiaogang's emotions were clearly a little excited, and he unconsciously gestured with his hands. "After careful research, I've found that developing Blue Silver Grass spirit into a control-type spirit is the most advantageous. Grass is soft and can be controlled at will to transform into various shapes. The simplest use is as a rope to bind enemies."

Yu Xiaogang continued, "Therefore, your choice of spirit rings focuses on two aspects. The first is resilience. The other is poison. If the Blue Silver Grass becomes resilient and has an entangling spirit skill, trapping enemies won't be difficult. And if the Blue Silver Grass has a poison effect, it can naturally also produce an offensive effect."

Yu Xiaogang paused, then continued, "If a beast spirit were to forcibly add a poison soul ring, it would probably be poisoned first. But Blue Silver Grass is a very weak spirit; it won't reject it, and absorbing toxins wouldn't be difficult for it at all..."

Tang San couldn't listen anymore and interrupted Yu Xiaogang, saying, "Teacher, I have a question."
