In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 52 Crushing the Pride of a Genius (Recommended)

Things went just as Lin Hai had predicted.

Since that day, whenever Feng Xiaotian tried to calm down and cultivate and research his self-created soul skills, Lin Hai's spear shot always lingered in his mind.

He still couldn't understand why.

……

"Sigh! It's been almost a month since I left Linyuan City! I wonder if Mu Jiabao has been cultivating diligently!"

"Achoo! Achoo! Who's insulting me?!" Mu Jiabao, far away in Linyuan City, rubbed his nose.

"Hey! Young Master Mu, your steamed Demon Flame Ox is here!"

"Okay, okay, put it down right now!" The shop assistant put the Demon Flame Bull down and left.

"Mmm, smells good!" Then Mu Jiabao took out some bottles and jars from his soul tool, opened them one by one, and poured them onto the steamed Demon Flame Ox.

Good heavens, it turns out all these bottles and jars are filled with seasonings, chili sauce, and so on.

"Mmm! Hehe, this is so delicious! It's so nice not having Ah Hai around!"

……

Lin Hai also loved fishing in his previous life, and the most important thing about fishing is to have patience.

Therefore, Lin Hai has no shortage of patience. For him, the bait has already been cast, and now he just needs to patiently wait for the fish to take the bait.

Nothing can be rushed!

Although it might delay his cultivation time a bit, it's nothing compared to the greater achievements he'll make in the future! As for the school, Lin Hai's extensive knowledge has made the teachers reluctant to teach him anymore.

Try having a student who corrects your mistakes every now and then during class. Tell me, wouldn't you feel embarrassed?

A month later.

"He's been hanging there for almost a month! It's time to go see him!" Lin Hai was quite amusing. He disappeared for a few days to sit in a teahouse, and then every few days, he would go to the gate of Shenfeng Academy to "check in" every morning.

So much so that every few days Feng Xiaotian would hear news about him from the students of the academy, which would stir his mind.

No wonder someone always says: those who play tactics have dirty hearts!

"You're here again!" The two gatekeepers from Shenfeng Academy were already quite familiar with Lin Hai.

"Yes! I'm here to see Feng Xiaotian!"

"Wait a minute, let me go call for you!"

A short while later, the gatekeeper and Feng Xiaotian arrived together.

"It's you!" Feng Xiaotian said sharply.

"Yes, it's me!"

"Come in with me!" Feng Xiaotian said aloofly.

With Feng Xiaotian taking the lead, the two guards readily stepped aside.

……

"Speak! What exactly is your purpose?" Feng Xiaotian, who had already calmed down, asked Lin Hai.

He was a bit naive, but not stupid. Lin Hai deliberately used his self-created soul skill in front of him to disturb his mind, so he must have had some purpose.

"Wow! As expected of Kamikaze Academy's ace!"

"Me? I don't have any particular purpose!"

"Alright! I came here to find you!" Under Feng Xiaotian's unwavering gaze, Lin Hai told the truth!

"Looking for me! Ha, they definitely have ill intentions!"

"I just wonder how many people you've actually fooled!"

"Don't be so sure of yourself! Being able to deceive others is my skill! On this continent, whatever method you use to become a superior person is a good method!"

Lin Hai wasn't going to waste any more time. "Feng Xiaotian! Do you really understand self-created soul skills? Or rather, do you really understand soul masters?"

"Indeed, you are exceptionally talented. You started developing your own soul skills at the age of ten, becoming a Soul Master. But does that really make sense?"

"This continent has no shortage of geniuses; there are countless geniuses who never even reach their full potential!"

"As far as I know, among the known Soul Masters with innate full Soul Power, they are already Soul Grandmasters at 17! And you, 4 years, Level 4! Hehehe, hahahahahaha!"

Lin Hai looked Feng Xiaotian up and down, his final laugh practically overflowing with contempt.

"Hmph! So what! I can defeat a Soul Master just the same way!"

"Ha! So what? What a ridiculous tone!"

"Then can you defeat a Soul Master with innate full soul power?"

"Of course!" Feng Xiaotian remained complacent.

"The arrogance of genius is truly a slow poison!"

Lin Hai shook his head. "I misjudged you. I originally thought you would be my teammate, to overthrow the Spirit Hall's decades-long reign as number one. I didn't expect you to be just another mediocre person!"

"Heh! You think you can take me? You're just a greenhorn!"

"Feng Xiaotian, have you ever truly understood me?"

"I, Lin Hai, possess innate soul power at level nine, am nine years old, and a level 22 Great Soul Master! Don't you find this a bit strange? Is your head filled with pig swill?"

Lin Hai's reminder made Feng Xiaotian, a careless guy who only knew how to cultivate and dance with fire, realize the problem.

Then, Feng Xiaotian's pupils gradually widened, and he murmured, "Impossible, this is impossible!"

Because he remembered that when he was nine years old, he was only at level 19. At this moment, Feng Xiaotian felt that the title of genius above him was so absurd.

Lin Hai continued to criticize, not afraid that Feng Xiaotian would tell anyone, or rather, he knew Feng Xiaotian was not a talkative person.

"Not only that, I also have a childhood friend, who is also 9 years old, with innate level 8 soul power, and now... a level 21 Great Soul Master!"

"I'm not afraid to tell you, my first spirit ring lasted 480 years, and my second spirit ring lasted 900 years!"

"So, what exactly are you insisting on? Is it just for the title of creating your own soul skill? In the world of soul masters, soul power is fundamental. You—have put the cart before the horse!"

"Do you think it's better to have the reputation of an 80+ level Soul Douluo who can fight a Title Douluo to a draw with a self-created Soul Skill, or the reputation of a Title Douluo? Think about it carefully!"

Lin Hai chose the most direct method: the psychological warfare technique from the Thirty-Six Stratagems, to break Feng Xiaotian's pride.

Feng Xiaotian was indeed discouraged. He began to doubt whether his initial decision and perseverance were truly correct. People with less talent than him were diligently cultivating, while he was indulging in his self-created soul skills.

I've achieved some minor success with my self-created soul skill, but the price I paid was three years' worth of level 4 soul power. I wonder how many people secretly call me an idiot.

.....

After some time, Feng Xiaotian recovered, but his eyes lost some of their luster.

It seems the blow was a bit too much! Lin Hai muttered in dismay.

"Ahem! Actually, there's nothing wrong with creating your own soul skill, but you've put the cart before the horse and neglected your cultivation."

"I heard you fell in love at first sight with a girl from Blazing Academy!" Don't get me wrong, this news has really spread.

Upon hearing the words "Blazing Fire Academy" and "girls," a rare hint of shyness appeared on Feng Xiaotian's usually indifferent face.

"Don't you know that girls admire strong men?"

"Which do you think has a more prestigious title and is more attractive to girls: a 17-year-old Soul Master or a 17-year-old Soul Grandmaster?"
