Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 71: Guangling's Schooling and the Discussion on Whether Plant-Based Martial Souls are Weapon Martial Souls

"Your soul power is only level five. Just get used to it and don't use it recklessly, or your soul power will be depleted very quickly."

Tang San and Xiao Wu escorted Guang Ling to Notting Academy, and together they advised her, "When you go to school, make friends with children your own age. Don't think that just because you have higher soul power or are stronger than them, you can bully them, unless they provoke you first."

"We are a poor family, we don't cause trouble, but we shouldn't be afraid of trouble either. If others really come looking for trouble, we should fight back."

Poor families?

Xiao Wu, standing to the side, was full of questions. Who in their family is so poor that they have more than 100,000 gold soul coins?

Xiao Wu didn't say much, but added, "Don't worry, if you can't beat them, just tell me, and I'll definitely help you fight back."

"Thank you, brother, Sister Xiaowu."

Guangling was deeply moved.

Accompanied by the two, Guangling entered the school gate and found that the gatekeeper also greeted Tang San and Xiao Wu, obviously recognizing the two students who had become Soul Masters.

However, no one in the school actually knew that Tang San and Xiao Wu had become Great Soul Masters, and that their second Soul Rings were even at the thousand-year level.

Wang Sheng?

He has already graduated and is no longer considered a student at Notting College.

After watching the opening ceremony with Guangling, Xiaowu looked at Tang San, who had a nostalgic expression, and asked speechlessly, "We didn't need to come to the opening ceremony, it was so boring, why do you look so interested?"

"That was my lost youth." Tang San sighed, leaving Xiao Wu full of questions, wondering what had gotten into him again—Third Brother was good in every way, except that he sometimes said strange things.

"Guangling, from now on, except for weekends, you will live in the academy's work-study dormitory. Interact with other people more. If you only stay with me, Xiaowu, and Grandpa Matthew, it will give you the illusion that all soul masters are cute and kind, and your personality will not grow." Tang San instructed, "In addition to your cultivation and studies, write a diary every day to record your gains and feelings."

"Who writes a diary if they're a decent person?" Xiao Wu pouted and blurted out.

"Look, you don't keep a diary, just like Xiao Wu, you speak without thinking." Tang San used Xiao Wu as a negative example to educate her, "Although what she said sounds reasonable, it's actually just an excuse to be lazy. When she encounters problems in her cultivation, she can only ask me for advice. She doesn't know how to think for herself, she's a bit slow."

"You're the stupid one!" Xiao Wu yelled. "I'm super smart, I even have an external brain, why should I need to think for myself?"

"Yes, now that you have me as an external brain, I might sell you off in the future, and you'll still have to help me count the money," Tang San threatened.

"You're not really going to sell me out, are you?"

What do you think?

"Hmph, you're the one who wouldn't want to part with it. Besides, I'll tell Grandpa Jack."

"Oh my god! You dare to complain today, you dare to hit people tomorrow, and you dare to kick me out of Grandpa's house the day after tomorrow. You're really terrifying. I must find a way to sell you!" Tang San said exaggeratedly.

"Are you asking for it?!"

Xiao Wu threw a punch, but Tang San dodged it not by using Ghost Shadow Technique, but by observing Xiao Wu's punching motion and reacting in advance.

Blue Silver Grass is also very sensitive to fluctuations in the air.

After experimenting with Xiao Wu's second soul skill, Listening to the Wind, Tang San also gained some understanding of it. He imitated the principle of this soul skill, hoping to apply it to Ghost Shadow Tracking in the future.

Guangling watched Tang San and Xiao Wu playfully fighting, her eyes filled with envy. However, she knew that her soul power was currently too weak to truly participate. She secretly vowed in her heart, "Brother, I will definitely become the one who stands by your side."

Tang San noticed that Guang Ling's gaze was gradually becoming firm, so he stopped joking with Xiao Wu and said to her, "Good luck! I look forward to your performance this semester."

"Mm." Guangling nodded vigorously and, under the watchful eyes of Tang San and Xiao Wu, walked into the teaching building to begin her first lesson.

"Have you decided which spirit beast to choose for Guangling's first spirit ring?"

Xiao Wu also became serious at this moment and stopped joking with Tang San. After all, she had seen Guang Ling's efforts over the past three months and had developed a great liking for her. Moreover, she also liked this cute little sister.

"Compared to your Soft Bone Rabbit and my Blue Silver Grass, which are beast spirits, her spirit is a weapon spirit, which gives her more options. But I still need to study it further. Moreover, I have high expectations for her. I hope that after she reaches level ten, she can put forward her own ideas for her first spirit ring." Tang San stroked his chin, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Only if she can choose a spirit beast that suits her can she become a true powerhouse."

"Is your Blue Silver Grass a Beast Martial Soul?" Xiao Wu's attention was clearly not on the second half of the sentence.

"Soul beasts are divided into animal and plant types, so why is it that when it comes to martial souls, plants like Blue Silver Grass are classified as weapon martial souls?"

Tang San countered, "Just because plants are things we hold in our hands doesn't mean we should consider them objects, does it?"

"This judgment is actually very imprecise. It should be called a plant-type beast spirit, rather than simply and crudely classifying plant spirits into the category of weapon spirits just because they are held in the hand like weapon spirits."

Xiao Wu nodded: "But, like weapon spirits, plant spirits appear in the right hand."

"Which hand do you use to hold chopsticks and eat?" Tang San looked at Xiao Wu as if she were an idiot.

"Your right hand? What happened?" Xiao Wu could feel the mockery in Tang San's eyes, but she endured it. Perhaps it was because she was used to it. After all, she wasn't as smart as him.

"Because most people are right-handed, their weapon spirits also appear on their right hand. A small number of people have them on their left hand because they are left-handed and used to using their left hand," Tang San explained. "Last time I went with Brother Tao to help awaken a weapon spirit, I saw three left-handed people. They were all left-handed, and their weapon spirits also appeared on their left hands... Just as people can sense their weapon spirits, weapon spirits can also sense people, making it convenient for people to use them."

"So?" The younger sister raised an eyebrow.

"So what you just said has absolutely no causal relationship with whether a plant-based martial soul is a weapon-based martial soul," Tang San said. "If it's really like you think, then when Mu Tian released his martial soul, his right hand made a movement before the peculiar detached martial soul jumped out of his body. Wouldn't that fire lizard also be considered a weapon-based martial soul?"

Xiao Wu suddenly realized: "I see. So, is this your next Martial Soul Theory, worth 100,000 Gold Soul Coins?"

"No, I'm just telling you briefly. And if it were to be published, this piece would be less valuable, probably only worth around 10,000 gold soul coins. After all, classifying plant-type spirit souls as beast-type spirit souls won't affect other plant-type spirit soul masters on the continent too much. At most, they'll know they've been reclassified from weapon spirit soul masters to beast spirit soul masters/plant-type. It won't affect their lives or cultivation much, since most of them will only choose plant-type spirit beasts when hunting spirit beasts."
