Douluo Continent, starting from the body swap with Jiang Nannan

Tang Ya was prepared for Mu Jin's questions.

"Teacher, you see, my Blue Silver Grass doesn't actually have much control over it. We did some practical training back then. Although you deliberately suppressed your soul power, it's still true that it shattered as soon as it touched your Heavenly Star Vine."

"I feel that my Blue Silver Grass lacks control and is not very useful in terms of attack power."

At this point, Tang Ya paused, then continued, "So..."

"So you've decided to give up Blue Silver Grass and focus on hidden weapons, right?"

Mu Jin took over the conversation.

It is a well-known fact throughout the continent that Blue Silver Grass is weak, even though Tang San, the ancestor of the Tang Sect ten thousand years ago, also possessed Blue Silver Grass as his martial soul and became a powerful figure at the time.

But those are things that cannot be replicated, and the decline of the Tang Clan is a good example of this.

She really wanted to say that if a Soul Master doesn't even respect their own Martial Soul, they can't possibly go far.

Because Soul Master cultivation emphasizes character and temperament, and Martial Soul is the foundation of a Soul Master. If you don't even value what is most important to you, what kind of future can you achieve?

But no matter how hard she tried, Mu Jin couldn't bring herself to say it.

Saying these things to a student whose martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, which is recognized as the weakest martial soul on the continent...

It didn't sound like concern; it sounded more like sarcasm.

She gave Tang Ya a deep look, then sighed heavily and said, "Alright, I support your choice. If you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, you can come to me, and I will do my best to help."

Then, she wrote the word "passed" on Tang Ya's note.

With the cultivation direction finalized, Mu Jin tidied up the pile of small notes and looked at the three of them.

"There are only the three of you here now, so I won't beat around the bush. I have the highest expectations for your team," she said.

"Jiang Nannan is the only Soul Master among your freshmen, so you must show the might of the Soul Master team. You can say that your chances of winning the championship are very high, but don't be careless. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory."

At this point, Mu Jin took out three sheets of information and handed them to Lu Chen and the other two.

"This is the only team I think can compete with you for the championship right now, and that's the seeded team from Class 1. The first person you need to watch out for is Bei Bei. His martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, a top-tier beast martial soul, and he's a level 27 Great Soul Master. This martial soul is known for its powerful attack and defense, so you need to be wary of the lightning around him."

"Next is Xu Sanshi, whose martial soul is the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield. He is also a Great Soul Master, but it should be noted that this martial soul has very strong defensive power. If he were to unleash his full power, he could probably reach the Soul Venerable level."

"Next, Soul Masters should also pay attention to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. I'm sure you're all familiar with this Martial Soul, so I won't go into details..."

......

The three of them walked out of the classroom. Ye Xixi had to leave first, while Lu Chen and Tang Ya didn't have anywhere else to go, so they decided to go straight back to their dormitory to cultivate.

On his way back to the dormitory, Lu Chen glanced at Tang Ya.

After leaving the classroom, Tang Ya kept her head down and didn't say a word.

Come to think of it, when we were choosing a cultivation path in the classroom just now, it was like tearing open our own scars and showing them to others.

There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters. This saying sounds nice, but in this world that only values ​​bloodlines, it seems so ridiculous.

"Xiaoya, if you need materials to make hidden weapons, you can come to me. I have plenty."

Indeed, there are many. Soul masters have no shortage of scraps of various rare metals. Although they are scraps, their hardness is definitely not low after smelting. They just cannot be used to make soul tools that require high purity.

Rather than letting it gather dust in the storage soul tool, it's better to take it out and make the most of it.

Tang Ya was stunned when she heard this.

She shook her head, regaining her usual energetic self: "Sure, I'll buy as many as you have. Of course, a discount would be even better."

She cracked a joke, and the gloom on her face vanished.

It was as if he had never been downcast before.

"No problem, I'll clear out the stock here at 90% off."

Lu Chen shrugged.

Tang Ya was so moved she almost cried. Since her parents passed away, no one had ever taken such good care of her.

She hugged Lu Chen tightly and started sobbing.

"Nannan, you're so kind~"

"Ahem, how about you too..."

So...so soft~

Just as the two were whispering sweet nothings to each other, a small, fiery red dot suddenly appeared on the misty surface of the lake.

The red dot approached from afar. At first, you couldn't feel anything, but as it got closer, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly.

"Huh? What's that?"

Tang Ya sensed the change in the surrounding temperature and looked at the red dot on the lake surface.

The red dot was moving very fast, and in a short while it was less than 100 meters away from them. At this moment, Tang Ya finally saw the person who had come.

A woman with fiery red hair and a fiery red dress was rushing towards them.

"Nannan, look, it seems to be a senior from the inner academy..."

But before she could finish speaking, Lu Chen, who had just realized what was happening, grabbed her arm.

"Run!"

He had been in the Douluo Continent for twelve years, and he had forgotten most of the details in the original work. Moreover, he had been living in the Sun Moon Empire all along, so he had a hard time recalling many of the plot points of Shrek Academy.

But now, he remembered that this was Ma Xiaotao, who had a chance to spawn by the lake.

Lu Chen summoned his martial soul, and his second soul ring lit up, instantly creating distance between him and Ma Xiaotao.

Although Ma Xiaotao has only just been promoted to Soul King, far from being Soul Emperor in the original work, her progress is still quite fast.

In the blink of an eye, he had closed the distance between himself and Lu Chen and Tang Ya.

Seeing this, Lu Chen no longer hesitated, and his second and third spirit rings lit up at the same time.

Instantaneous Dragon Kick!

The two were already close, and in just a moment, Lu Chen had already kicked Ma Xiaotao in the stomach.

Ma Xiaotao was sent flying backwards and crashed hard into a nearby tree.

Because there wasn't enough time to charge up, the attack wasn't very powerful. At least, after being kicked, Ma Xiaotao shakily stood up and was about to charge at the two of them again.

At this moment, Tang Ya also realized what was happening. She moved her fingers slightly, and four dragon whisker needles appeared in her hand.

Whoosh whoosh—

Because of the special material of the dragon whisker needle and its extremely high melting point, coupled with Ma Xiaotao's lack of precautions.

Therefore, the Dragon Beard Needle easily struck Ma Xiaotao, with the four needles piercing into her limbs respectively.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Ma Xiaotao immediately knelt on the ground and wailed in pain.

Just when the two thought it was over, five spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black—suddenly appeared behind Ma Xiaotao.

No way, sis, how can you still use spirit rings?!

Seeing that things were not going well, Lu Chen quickly teleported towards the dormitory building with Tang Ya.

He's strong in attack, but his defense isn't that great.
