A man in Douluo Continent writes a diary; his martial soul, the White Tiger, possesses the special a

Chapter 229 There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters? Can't my Blue Silver Grass be cultivated?

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed again, but he couldn't think of any rebuttal.

Hu Yanzhen continued, "One of your ten core competencies of martial soul is about the limit of the number of soul rings a soul master can withstand at each stage. You did not specify that not every soul master can withstand the limit!"

This single theory alone has already caused countless people on the mainland who believed in you to perish. They all died on the path of absorbing spirit rings!

"Does this need to be specifically marked? It's obvious. Only those with stronger physiques can withstand higher spirit ring ages!" Yu Xiaogang didn't think he had done anything wrong.

This time, Hu Yanzhen remained silent, but Bibi Dong spoke up instead: "Why do you think that our Spirit Hall, as the most friendly organization to commoner spirit masters on the continent, hasn't released this information? Do you think our Spirit Hall is afraid of these small sects?"

"That's not the case. It's just that these theoretical knowledge are not perfect yet. Moreover, many things can be learned when a Soul Master enters the academy. The higher the level of the academy, the more content it teaches."

"Then why do you say that my publication of the theory has touched the interests of those sects?" Yu Xiaogang was puzzled.

Bibi Dong chuckled and said without any hesitation, "That's because those small sects are not as strong as those famous high-level academies. They recruit talent by relying on some rare theoretical knowledge and then making promises and offering benefits. But you have now eliminated all their advantages!"

"One more thing, when did our research at the Spirit Hall show that there are only certain limits to what a Spirit Master can endure at each stage? You just said that the higher the physique, the longer the lifespan they can withstand. If that's the case, why is there a so-called limit to the lifespan of Spirit Rings?"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong turned her gaze to Tang San, who was looking at her with a puzzled expression, and said calmly, "Judging from the spirit rings absorbed by your Blue Silver Grass, apart from the second spirit ring, the first and third spirit rings were provided by animal spirit beasts, right?"

Tang San nodded warily: "Is something wrong?"

Bibi Dong shook her head: "There's nothing wrong with it. Your teacher's theory is correct for you, but it may not be correct for others who have plant martial souls."

Not all plant-based martial souls can absorb the spirit rings of animal spirit beasts. There's an attribute factor to consider. Your Blue Silver Grass possesses excellent vitality and affinity, so absorbing animal spirit rings won't harm you. However, it might not be the case for others. You're incredibly lucky!

Tang San's expression changed slightly, but he seemed to have thought of something and decided to trust his teacher.

"Your Holiness, are you saying that plant-based martial souls only absorb plant-based soul rings, and animal-based martial souls only absorb animal-based soul rings? Then why can authentic weapon-based martial souls, such as swords and spears, absorb both plant-based and animal-based soul rings?"

Bibi Dong chuckled: "When did I say that? Beast-type spirit masters can also absorb plant-type spirit rings, but plant-type spirit rings are generally weaker, and their boost to a spirit master is usually not as good as animal-type spirit rings, so there's no need to absorb them. As for plant-type spirit masters, they are inherently weak, so if they were to absorb animal-type spirit rings, the first thing they would have to consider is whether they could withstand it!"

"As for weapon spirits, such as the Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect or the Seven Kill Sword of Sword Douluo Chen Xin, these spirits themselves possess very high strength, so naturally they can absorb both. But have you ever seen them choose to absorb the spirit rings of plant spirit beasts? Unless the spirit rings of those plant spirit beasts are of a very high age, enough to make up for the difference!"

When Tang San heard Bibi Dong mention the Clear Sky Hammer, his expression changed slightly. At the same time, he wondered what the relationship was between his father and the Clear Sky Sect.

When his father left a letter, he felt that his father was no ordinary person. Now, he has been confirmed by Bibi Dong's words that his father is probably a powerful figure!

"Then why is it that the theory I've seen states that plant-based martial souls can only absorb plant-based soul rings, and animal-based martial souls can only absorb animal-based soul rings?!" Yu Xiaogang asked, somewhat shocked.

Bibi Dong glanced at him and said, "That's because if we tell others that plant martial souls can also absorb animal soul rings, what if some overconfident people don't listen to our advice and try to absorb them by force?"

Every genius or prodigy Soul Master will be told by their mentor that when absorbing a Soul Ring, the species of the Soul Beast doesn't matter; what matters is whether the Soul Ring suits the user. The theory you saw mainly applies to Soul Masters with average to below-average talent!

Yu Xiaogang:

Hu Yanzhen laughed loudly from the side: "Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang, you studied at the Spirit Hall for so long, didn't you ever see that Chrysanthemum Douluo? You didn't actually think that all his spirit rings were provided by plant spirit beasts, did you?"

In fact, Hu Yanzhen didn't know if all of Ju Huaguan's spirit rings were plant spirit rings, but he was certain that at least a few were animal spirit rings. Otherwise, with the attributes of ordinary plant spirit rings, it would have been impossible for Ju Huaguan to break through to level 95.

After all, there are too few powerful plant-based spirit beasts on the mainland; most of the powerful spirit beasts are animal-based.

"Oh right, and that line of yours, 'There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters,' are you sure you're not joking? Is that just something you say to comfort yourself?" Hu Yanzhen laughed heartily.

He realized that His Holiness the Pope had no feelings for Yu Xiaogang and hadn't shown him any mercy. As her person, he naturally had to "support" her!

Tang San immediately frowned and retorted, "Who said that! Can't I cultivate with my Blue Silver Grass?"

Bibi Dong glanced at him and said, "If you didn't have this innate full soul power, do you think you could have cultivated the Blue Silver Grass? Didn't your teacher tell you about the relationship between innate soul power and martial soul?"

"What do you mean?" Tang San suddenly felt a little panicked.

"Your teacher must have told you that the innate soul power of soul masters with the Blue Silver Grass martial soul is basically no more than level one, and they cannot become soul masters. But you are special. Your Blue Silver Grass martial soul has full innate soul power. You have a secret, but I don't care."

What I'm trying to say is that innate soul power is the fundamental factor determining whether a soul master can cultivate, not the so-called useless martial soul.

Even if your martial soul is weak, as long as your innate soul power is not poor, you can still cultivate. And as you've probably noticed, a martial soul changes after absorbing soul rings—it evolves—especially the weaker the martial soul, the more pronounced the evolution effect!

When Bibi Dong talks about evolution, she is actually referring to the growth of various attributes of a martial soul, not the kind of evolution from a snake to a dragon.
