Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is actually Bibi Dong.

Chapter 166 Secret Teachings Revealed

Shrek Academy.

Compared to Shrek Academy a few years ago, Shrek Academy is much more lively now, with more students.

Although the Shrek team did not achieve a very good ranking in the previous Soul Master Competition.

However, the Shrek team's performance was still quite impressive.

This has made many people who didn't know Shrek Academy aware of it, and the number of students recruited in recent years has also increased.

Similarly, with more students, the probability of recruiting geniuses also increases.

To Flanders and Xiao Gang's disappointment, although they received more students and even more geniuses, few of them could compare to the previous Shrek team.

The only thing that made Yu Xiaogang happy was the performance of Dai Mubai and the other two.

Perhaps spurred by Zhu Zhuqing's departure, Dai Mubai has been cultivating with exceptional diligence these past few days, and has now broken through to the Soul King level, currently holding the rank of level 50 Soul King.

Because the fifth spirit ring was not absorbed beyond the limit, the spirit power level did not increase after absorbing the spirit ring.

Besides Dai Mubai, Oscar and Ma Hongjun have also both broken through to level 48. It is believed that in a year, both of them will be able to break through to level 50 and become a Soul King.

This is exactly the same situation that Yu Xiaogang predicted a few years ago.

"In another year, Xiao Ao and Fatty will definitely be able to break through to the Soul King level!"

"If Tang San returns in time, then our Shrek Academy team will have four Soul Kings this time!"

"This time, our Shrek team is sure to get a good ranking!"

"I just don't know when Tang San will return, or if he'll be able to get back in time!"

"We still haven't received a single piece of news about Tang San!"

"I wonder where His Majesty Haotian took him to cultivate!"

Flander and Yu Xiaogang sat together drinking tea, and Flander was full of anticipation when talking about the current Shrek team.

However, there was some concern when Tang San was mentioned.

"Don't worry, he promised, he'll definitely be back in time!"

Upon hearing Flander's words, Yu Xiaogang immediately smiled and replied.

But despite saying that, Yu Xiaogang was actually very anxious.

It's already this late, with only a year left before the Soul Master Competition begins, yet he hasn't received a single word about Tang San.

I wonder what level Tang San has reached in his cultivation, whether he has broken through to the Soul King level, and what kind of Soul Ring he has absorbed.

In short, Yu Xiaogang was very anxious.

"Even if Tang San doesn't come back, our Shrek Academy team is still strong!"

"In the last Soul Master Tournament, the Spirit Hall had three Soul Kings, which was already their strongest tournament. This time, it's our Shrek Academy team's turn to have three Soul Kings!"

"If Tang San can return in time, then there will be four Soul Kings!"

Flander smiled upon hearing this, not too concerned about whether Tang San could return in time.

In his view, the Shrek Academy team would be strong enough even without Tang San a year from now!

However, it would be even better if Tang San could return.

"Flander, don't forget, Su Mo and Ning Rongrong can also participate in the Soul Master Competition!"

"If those two were here, the situation would be very complicated!"

Seeing Flander's confidence, Yu Xiaogang quickly reminded him to be careful.

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Flander's smile immediately vanished.

If Su Mo and Ning Rongrong continue to participate in the Soul Master Competition, it's really hard to say whether the Shrek Academy team can defeat the Heaven Dou Royal Team, which consists of Su Mo and Ning Rongrong.

Last time, the Spirit Hall team, which had three Soul Kings, was defeated by the Heaven Dou Royal team.

A few years later, Dai Mubai and the others had grown up, and Su Mo and Ning Rongrong had certainly grown up as well, becoming even stronger.

"Even if we don't win the championship, getting second place would be great!"

However, Flander quickly smiled indifferently.

For him, winning the championship is not important; as long as he can bring honor to Shrek Academy, that is enough.

The Shrek Academy team, which already has three Soul Kings, can make everyone know about Shrek Academy just by appearing in the Soul Master Competition, even if they don't get a good ranking.

Those belong to three Soul Kings!

"Xiao Gang, you don't need to be so persistent. Being able to train three Soul King students is already enough to prove your ability!" Flander then tried to persuade Yu Xiao Gang.

Flander couldn't bear to see Yu Xiaogang so depressed all these years.

He was with Liu Erlong, but he didn't dare to be completely together with her; just looking at her made him feel uncomfortable.

Sometimes he really wanted to advise Yu Xiaogang to ignore what others thought and said, and just be with Liu Erlong directly.

However, perhaps for some reason, Flander did not try to persuade him.

At least this way, Liu Erlong, whom he liked, was still physically pure.

"...It's different. Others may not know, but I know very well that although Dai Mubai and the others have received my guidance, their achievements are not entirely due to my teaching!"

"Only my mistress was someone I personally trained with all my heart and soul!"

"Only when the mistress succeeds can I truly prove myself!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang quickly shook his head. In his opinion, only Tang San could be considered his disciple, someone he had taught.

Oscar and his classmates' achievements were a result of Shrek Academy's teachings; he deserves some credit, but not all of it.

"Alright, then we can only hope that little Tang San can get back in time!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang say this, Flander had no choice but to give up.

"By the way, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School announced that they will be releasing some information about martial souls soon. Xiao Gang, what do you think it will be?"

Flander then remembered something and asked Yu Xiaogang.

"Oh? Tell me more!"

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback when he heard this, as he hadn't heard about it before. He quickly asked Flander to explain in detail.

"That's how it is..."

Flander, seeing that Yu Xiaogang was still unaware, explained it to him in detail.

However, he didn't know much, except that he had heard that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School seemed to be preparing to release some knowledge about martial souls.

Because he didn't know, he asked Yu Xiaogang to guess.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Martial Soul Knowledge!"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always been secretive about its possessions, such as their Distraction Control Technique. Therefore, what they are about to release is probably not the martial spirit knowledge possessed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

"It's knowledge invented by Su Mo!"

"There's no mistake, it's Su Mo's soul weapon fusion, and possibly even an evolution technique that allows the weapon spirit to evolve!"

After hearing what Flanders said, Yu Xiaogang tapped his fingers on the table and quickly made his judgment.

The more Yu Xiaogang talked about it, the more convinced he became.

He simply didn't know that Su Mo's method of evolving a martial soul was called "refining a weapon to infuse the soul," which is why he called it the secret method of evolving a weapon-based martial soul.

"So it was Su Mo's soul weapon fusion!"

"That's it, it must be!"

When Flander heard Yu Xiaogang say this, he also remembered the secret method invented by Su Mo.

Indeed, a few days later, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School announced to the entire Soul Master world two secret methods: Soul Weapon Fusion and Soul Refining.

This also shows that it was invented by Su Mo.

Furthermore, Su Mo is currently researching the secret methods for evolving beast-type martial souls, and he will announce any discoveries he makes as soon as possible.

"Soul Weapon Fusion!"

"Training weapons into the soul!"

"A weapon spirit can actually be used like this!"

"My God, such a simple method, how come no one has discovered it all this time..."

"No wonder Su Mo's level increased so quickly back then; it turns out he mastered the method of Martial Soul evolution!"

"To actually be willing to publish it is truly admirable!"

"Haha, I also have a weapon spirit! I'll go try it out right away..."

"What a pity, I have a beast spirit, so I can't try!"

"Hopefully, Su Mo can discover the method for evolving beast spirits soon..."

"..."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School revealed the two secret techniques invented by Su Mo, the entire Soul Master world was in an uproar.

This is the first time someone has publicly revealed such a simple and clear method for the evolution of martial souls.

Even though Su Mo said that there is a prerequisite for martial soul evolution, one must possess a certain level of talent.

But this is better than knowing nothing at all. Even if they can't use it, as long as they master the method, they can let their descendants try it in the future!

However, the group first tried to combine the soul weapons, and then they found that it was indeed feasible.

With their soul weapons combined, their attack power indeed became stronger.

Finding a suitable weapon is equivalent to upgrading their martial soul to a higher quality level, which greatly excites all the soul masters with weapon-type martial souls.

Of course, those Soul Masters whose Martial Soul quality was originally higher did not feel it as obviously.

Because if they want to achieve the same effect as others, they need to find a weapon of better quality.

A good weapon, however, is not so easy to find.

People usually disdain using weapons, let alone paying attention to what good weapons are available.

Even so, everyone was still grateful to Su Mo, because Su Mo's announcement of the Soul Weapon Fusion technique gave them a way to quickly improve their combat power.

Similarly, they also learned that weapon spirits can evolve, and were told how to evolve.

Whether they have the talent or not remains to be seen.

In an instant, weapons began to sell like hotcakes throughout the Douluo Continent, with prices soaring and better weapons in short supply.

"What was that kid thinking? He actually revealed this secret technique!"

Inside the Spirit Hall, after learning about the situation, Pope Bibi Dong became increasingly curious about Su Mo.

She had been very curious about Su Mo before, especially after learning that Su Mo had also gone through the trials of the Killing City.

She just didn't expect that Su Mo would also be so talented in the study of martial spirit knowledge, discovering the two secret methods of soul weapon fusion and weapon refining into soul.

What surprised her even more was that Su Mo actually chose to make them public.

"Not bad, that's the same heroic spirit Xiao Gang had back in the day!"

Pope Bibi Dong greatly admired this, seeing in Su Mo the shadow of Yu Xiaogang from back then.

Back then, Yu Xiaogang was very generous in making public his statistical inventions and his knowledge of the ten core competencies of martial spirits.

Pope Bibi Dong also knew that the reason Yu Xiaogang was willing to go public in the first place was mainly because he wanted to prove himself in terms of knowledge.

Because Yu Xiaogang's cultivation was ineffective, he could only prove himself through knowledge and wisdom.

Therefore, Pope Bibidon greatly admired Su Mo for being able to make the two secret methods public.

In this respect, Su Mo might be even better than Yu Xiaogang was back then.

"This little guy has really given me a lot of surprises!"

"With these two secret techniques, the Spirit Hall's strength will be further enhanced, which is a good thing for the Spirit Hall!"

Then, Pope Bibidon laughed happily.

The Spirit Hall undoubtedly benefits the most from the revelation of Su Mo's two secret techniques.

Because their Spirit Hall has the most Spirit Masters!

The Haotian Sect, the culprit that led Su Mo to reveal the secret technique ahead of schedule, also learned of it later.

Because the Haotian Sect is a closed sect, it naturally receives news from the outside world later.

Complete isolation is, of course, impossible.

"sharp!"

"Are all young people these days this amazing?"

"At such a young age, not only did he win the Soul Master Competition, but he also discovered these two secret techniques!"

Upon hearing the news, Tang Xiao, unaware of the gravity of the situation, immediately praised Su Mo.

"Indeed, this young man named Su Mo is truly remarkable!"

"Yes, with these two secret techniques, the strength of our Clear Sky Sect will be further enhanced. Our Clear Sky Hammer is now the strongest weapon spirit!"

"That's right, we really need to thank this kid properly!"

"What's so great about it? This kid defeated Tang Hao's son in the Soul Master Competition last time!"

"Exactly! And the Spirit Hall will benefit the most from the revelation of these two secret techniques; their strength will be even greater than before!"

"..."

After hearing Tang Xiao's words, many elders also spoke up.

Some agreed with Tang Xiao's words, while others disagreed and pointed out the potential harm.

As for Tang San's identity, they confirmed that he was Tang Hao's son as soon as they heard the news.

Who else could have twin martial souls, the Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Silver Grass, besides Tang Hao and the son of the 100,000-year-old soul beast Blue Silver Emperor?

Even if they knew, they had no intention of bringing Tang San back to be recognized as their ancestor.

Even if he were to come back, it would be Tang Hao who would bring him back.

"The emergence of these two secret techniques is not a good thing for our Haotian Sect!"

"Don't forget, our Clear Sky Hammer is already a top-tier weapon spirit. Whether it's fusion of spirit and weapon or refining and imbuing a weapon with spirit, we'll have a very hard time finding a suitable weapon!"

"But it's different for other sects; this will narrow the gap between us and other weapon spirits!"

Soon, an elder realized the problem and spoke up with a solemn expression.
