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

Chapter 55 Would you... be willing to become my student? (Seeking recommendations)

"As expected, the Soul Masters with the most poison attributes are either snakes or spiders!"

"Yo ho, a Ghost Frog, this is the first time I've seen one like this. As expected of the Beast Academy, they have a complete range of poison-attribute soul beasts! But, isn't this name a copyright infringement?"

"This Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent truly lives up to its reputation as a soul beast with phoenix blood. Poison-attribute soul masters who absorb its soul rings actually gain a soul skill that combines control and poison attack!"

"But it's nothing special!"

"Spider! The venom is enough, but it feels like something's missing!"

"Dragon King Scorpion, Dragon Blood Demon Tree... the books here are recorded in great detail." Lin Hai continued to flip through the books.

"Wait, a dragon!!!"

"Dragon Lord's martial soul is the Dragon Staff, and Meng Yiran is his granddaughter." Lin Hai held a book in his left hand and stroked his chin with his right!

"Is it possible that, without any cheating, if we really wanted to follow the pure martial soul evolution route, Meng Yiran would have an easier time than me and Mu Jiabao?"

"Hiss! This is terrifying!"

"Well, it seems that the current Douluo Continent cultivators don't yet know that they can achieve Martial Soul evolution through this path! Although it's only a chance, this path can still make Soul Masters stronger!"

"Looking back now, it's a bit of a pity; the first two spirit rings were wasted!"

"Never mind, it's not too late to fix it!"

"Strength, strength, strength! If I had the strength, why would I be worried about all this? I'd just rob him outright."

"These are it: Dragon King Scorpion, Dragon Blood Demon Tree, and Dragon Pattern Python. It's just a suggestion; whether they choose them or not is none of my business!"

……

The following day, Meng Yiran and Mu Jiabao came to find Lin Hai and walked together toward the dean's office.

"Time flies! In just one more month, it'll be vacation time! Ah Hai, where are you going? How about we go to the Great Soul Arena and go on a killing spree again?" Mu Jiabao rubbed his hands together, eager to get started.

The Beast Academy is located in Silvis City, the main city of the Kingdom of Silvis. To the north lies Sunset Forest, and to the south is the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs.

After entering the Beast Academy, Lin Hai and Mu Jiabao focused on climbing the rankings and increasing their points in the Great Soul Arena.

Thanks to the numerous victories they achieved when they were Great Soul Masters, they are now not far from obtaining the Silver Soul Badge!

The two originally formed a duo called the "Handsome Duo," but Mu Jiabao later unilaterally left the group and teamed up with Meng Yiran.

"You should come with Yiran this time! I have something important to do!"

"Alright then! By the way, didn't Brother Feng Xiaotian say he was coming during his vacation? What will he do if you leave?"

"Aren't you going to take him with you to the Great Soul Arena?" Lin Hai glanced at Mu Jiabao.

"Also, I have something urgent to attend to. I'll tell you which types of spirit beasts you'd better hunt this time, and I won't be going with you!"

"Oh! Alright then! With me here, I'm sure I'll still get a good soul ring!" Mu Jiabao was quite confident in his luck.

"Hey! Lin Hai, you're really not coming with us?"

"No, it's really urgent, and I can't afford to be late!"

While the three were chatting, they arrived at the dean's office.

"Grandpa, Grandma, we're here!" Meng Yiran pushed open the door and called out sweetly.

"Hehehe, my dear granddaughter is here!" Long Gong Meng Shu stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Dean, Vice Dean!"

"Dean, Vice Dean!"

Lin Hai and Mu Jiabao greeted Meng Shu and Chao Tianxiang one by one.

"Hmm! Not bad, truly the most outstanding student since the founding of our Beast Academy!"

Long Gong Meng Shu looked at Lin Hai with great satisfaction. He admired this intelligent, alert, and talented student.

As for Mu Jiabao, the look he gave his grandson-in-law was a mixture of satisfaction and displeasure!

Chao Tianxiang didn't have Meng Shu's complicated thoughts. In any case, he was very satisfied with the two of them, as they would be of great help to his granddaughter in the future.

"Lin Hai!"

"Yes, Dean!"

"I am Meng Shu, a level 86 power-attack type Soul Douluo. Would you... be willing to become my student?" Meng Shu had been considering Lin Hai for almost eight months and had a clear understanding of Lin Hai in all aspects. Whether it was his family background or his temperament, Lin Hai was an extremely outstanding Soul Master prospect. Moreover, his Martial Soul was a mutated Blue Silver Grass. In Meng Shu's opinion, reaching the Soul Douluo level should not be a problem. If there were other opportunities, even a titled Soul Douluo might be within reach!

As for why he didn't accept Mu Jiabao's offer, it's because he was afraid his granddaughter would turn against him!

"Teacher, please accept my bow!" Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Hai knelt down and kowtowed!

What's there to hesitate about! A powerful ally is practically handed to you, so hurry up and grab it!

What Lin Hai lacks most right now is a powerful backer. Now that he has his master and mistress, the Dragon Duke and the Snake Lady, who can stand up to a titled Douluo, he can finally do some things he wanted to do but didn't dare to.

Lin Hai already knew about the Dragon and Snake couple's character. In the original timeline, when Tang San and the others faced the threat of Chrysanthemum Douluo, the couple didn't care about the consequences, but in the end, they still stepped forward, which was enough to show their character.

"Hahaha! Good, good, good!" Meng Shu stroked his beard with his left hand and laughed heartily.

Meng Yiran smiled brightly, "Congratulations, Grandpa, on gaining such a wonderful disciple!"

"Congratulations, Dean, on gaining such a fine student!" Mu Jiabao was the kind of person who would readily take advantage of any opportunity.

"Old man, are you happy now?"

"Good boy, good disciple! Get up quickly!" Meng Shu did not get up, but instead gently lifted Lin Hai's arms with his right hand holding the dragon staff, helping him up.

Thank you, teacher!

"Greetings, Master's wife!" Lin Hai stood up and immediately bowed to Chaotianxiang.

"Hmm!" Chaotianxiang smiled with satisfaction.

The atmosphere at the scene relaxed considerably.

"Yiran, shouldn't you call me 'Shishu' now? Hehe!" Lin Hai turned to Meng Yiran and said playfully.

"Grandpa, look at him!" Meng Yiran stomped her foot in anger.

"Hahahaha!" Meng Shu laughed, not caring about Meng Yiran's little temper. He was happy to see his apprentice and his granddaughter get along well.

"Teacher, regarding the choice of which soul beast to hunt this time, I have the following three suggestions: the first is the Dragon King Scorpion, the second is the Dragon Blood Demon Tree, and the third is the Dragon Pattern Python."

"Dragon King Scorpion, Dragon Blood Demon Tree, Dragon Pattern Python," Meng Shu repeated softly.

"They're all poison-attribute soul beasts, and these all have the character 'dragon' in their names! Is there any special significance to this?"

"Teacher, Yiran's martial soul is the Serpent Staff, while yours is the Dragon Staff. And Yiran is your granddaughter. Have you ever considered the possibility that Yiran's martial soul might evolve into the Dragon Staff?"

"What? You mean martial soul evolution!" Chao Tianxiang was the first to exclaim in surprise.

"Yes, based on my research and analysis of the literature, I have proposed a hypothesis: when a Martial Soul absorbs a Soul Beast of the same type but a higher level of bloodline, the quantitative change leads to a qualitative change, which may then drive the evolution of the Martial Soul!"
