Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 26 Martial Soul Attribute Test

"strength!"

"I need ability!"

Yu Xiaogang watched Tang San and Xiao Wu's departing figures, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth. "Without strength, I can't even take in outstanding disciples. But if I had strength, why would I need to take in disciples?"

For Yu Xiaogang, this is a vicious cycle.

Only after Tang San and Xiao Wu disappeared from sight did Yu Xiao loosen his fists, sigh helplessly, and return to the independent courtyard that Dean Notting had assigned to him.

"No, I still want to try. I want Tang San and Xiao Wu to become my disciples. When they come back, I will go to them and demonstrate my knowledge of martial soul theory."

Yu Xiaogang didn't want to give up. "That Tang San is probably interested in martial soul research. Xiao Wu will most likely listen to him. So, I can use his soul skills as a starting point and tell him which kind of soul beast he hunted and what soul skills he obtained. Maybe that can convince him."

"I watched their previous battle. Although that soul skill had healing abilities, with so many Blue Silver Grass leaves, its main skill must have been control."

"Therefore, it must be some kind of plant spirit beast with many branches, which captures its prey by entanglement, and it is a carnivorous plant."

"The treatment is merely a side effect."

With this in mind, Yu Xiaogang didn't bother asking the students and teachers in the academy. Instead, he directly searched for vine-like plant spirit beasts, analyzing their characteristics to deduce which plant spirit beast Tang San's first spirit ring came from.

Besides that, there's Xiao Wu's soul skill, Waist Bow.

Yu Xiaogang had a hard time figuring out which soul beast this soul skill came from, since there were no soul beasts like rabbits that could generate power from their waist.

However, Yu Xiaogang also determined a direction, which is to choose soul beasts with good waist strength, such as cats, tigers, and leopards. The reason why Xiao Wu got the waist bow soul skill is most likely because this type of soul beast has nothing to do with rabbits, so she only has this one physical skill.

"As expected, I am the master. Only in my hands can Xiao Wu and Tang San become stronger. Otherwise, how could Xiao Wu's first soul skill be so useless? Without me, even if she could become a Title Douluo, she would be the weakest Title Douluo."

The more Yu Xiaogang analyzed, the more confident he became.

"And Tang San actually chose a vine-type plant spirit beast. The leaves of those Blue Silver Grasses are numerous and tough, but their binding ability is too weak. He should have chosen a snake-type spirit beast, as their binding ability is much stronger. Moreover, it must be a poisonous snake-type spirit beast, so that his spirit can be poisonous and can restrict the enemy to a greater extent... However, that spirit ring is definitely over five hundred years old. How did he absorb it? Is it easier to absorb something that is also plant-type? I'll make a note of that for now."

While Yu Xiaogang was hypnotizing himself, Tang San brought Xiao Wu to the Spirit Hall to meet Matthew and explained that he would bring her along to study spirits in the future.

"Little Tang, you've got a girlfriend at such a young age?" Matthew knew Xiao Wu, after all, Tang San had reminded her on the first day of school to come and get her Soul Master certificate.

Tang San said, "We're just classmates."

Xiao Wu said, "He's right. We're just classmates, and at most we became friends after a fight."

Matthew smiled like an aunt, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, let's go to the backyard. Anyway, it's already rented to you. The rent is for organizing my belongings and books."

"Thank you, Grandpa Matthew." Tang San led Xiao Wu to the backyard.

The backyard wasn't very big. Besides a study, a bedroom, and a toilet, there was a relatively tidy open space. There was a small pond nearby, and near the wall, there was a jujube tree with a trunk diameter of fifty centimeters. According to Matthew, it was a hundred years old, but it was just an ordinary jujube tree, not a plant spirit beast.

The conditions for the birth of a soul beast are quite demanding. It's not that a blade of grass or a dog can become a ten-year soul beast simply by living for ten years.

Just like Blue Silver Grass, which grows everywhere, if you break it or even uproot it, will it give birth to a spirit ring?

will not.

Otherwise, the cleaners in Notting City would generate spirit rings every day as they clear the weeds in the city, resulting in white spirit rings flying everywhere in the city.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Wu asked.

"We're testing your martial spirit and soul power," Tang San said. "Not with a crystal ball, but with the nature of your soul power."

After saying that, Tang San concentrated his soul power in his right hand and pressed it onto the ground.

Soon after, some tender shoots of Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the spot where his palm was pressed.

"Look, this is the nature of my soul power. It has life attributes and can make the Blue Silver Grass grow quickly."

This is also a characteristic that Tang San discovered. In the past, the soul power cultivated by the Xuan Tian Gong was neutral and peaceful, without any attributes. However, after cultivating the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, the soul power took on the nature of life. Its destructive power was less than that of those offensive soul masters, but the soul power with the nature of life could slowly heal injuries even without using soul skills.

It can be said that since soul power has this property, as long as Tang San doesn't recklessly court death, his body will not suffer any hidden injuries.

"I'll give it a try too." Xiao Wu became interested, gathered her soul power in her palm, and pressed it to the ground.

Snapped!

Because the pressure was applied too hard, the ground cracked, but no new shoots sprouted from it.

"It seems your soul power has considerable destructive power, but it doesn't have any special attributes; it's just average," Tang San commented after observing the crack for a while.

Subsequently, Tang San conducted a series of tests on Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul. According to the previously stipulated six-dimensional chart, the attributes of Xiao Wu's Soft Bone Rabbit after obtaining her first spirit ring are as follows:

Strength: 3. The Soft Bone Rabbit is not known for its strength, but its first spirit ring slightly enhances it.

Speed: 4. The rabbit is very fast and extremely agile, but its punching and kicking frequency is poor, so it does not get full marks.

Defense: 2. Physically weak and with poor defense, it is not recommended to withstand attacks from others.

Energy: 0. The martial soul itself does not have any energy emission skills.

Endurance: 3. As a rabbit, the endurance is not bad, and the quality of the soul power is also good, so it is above average.

Special: 0, has no special energy or attributes.

Total score: 12

Looking at the attributes of her martial soul, Xiao Wu asked curiously, "What's the total score?"

"Currently set to 30." Tang San then gave the attributes of his Blue Silver Grass after obtaining his first spirit ring.

Strength: 2. The martial soul itself is not characterized by strength, but after absorbing the soul ring of the Thousand Banyan Tree, it has good resilience. Multiple Blue Silver Grasses are intertwined together and can be used as a whip.

Speed: 3. Although it still cannot move, it grows extremely fast. Although the control is not precise, the frequency of its swings is relatively fast, which can be considered as attack speed.

Defense: 4. The Thousand Roots Banyan greatly enhances the toughness of the Blue Silver Grass leaves. If they gather together and wrap themselves up, they can withstand the attack of a powerful attack-type Soul Master (Su Yuntao) for nearly half an hour.

Energy: 0. Even after obtaining the first spirit ring, it still does not have any energy skills that can be released.

Endurance: 5. Endless vitality. It has reached its peak and may be able to break through the limit set by 5.

Special: 5. Vitality and energy are more vigorous.

Total score: 19

The first round of recommendations will be conducted in the early morning.

This might be the last round.

It's normal for a new author and a new book to flop.
