The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 171 The teacher needs to go out for a while.

Upon hearing Tang San say he wanted to switch to repairing the Clear Sky Hammer, and seeing the other's sharp gaze, Yu Xiaogang fell silent for a moment.

He understood that the series of failures must have made Tang San begin to doubt his own talent, strength, and teaching abilities.

Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment, then sighed: "Xiao San, that Li Xun is indeed somewhat different, but he is, after all, a level 50 Soul King. It's perfectly normal for you to lose to him."

You must believe in your talent. You possess twin martial souls, a rare find on the continent, perhaps only once in a thousand years. A temporary setback is nothing; as long as you grow stronger, defeating him is only a matter of time.

"If you always hold the idea that you can't defeat Li Xun, your cultivation and confidence will inevitably decline and stagnate over time. At that point, not only will you not be able to defeat Li Xun, but you may not even be able to defeat other people your age."

"Moreover, I received information through the sect that the Spirit Hall's team this time includes several exceptionally talented individuals, whom the Pope and the Spirit Hall internally refer to as the Golden Generation. The three leaders of this team have all reached the level 50 Soul King in their early twenties."

As Yu Xiaogang said this, his face revealed an undisguised disappointment: "Xiao San, do you know? I no longer expect you to win the Soul Master Tournament. I would be happy as long as you can make it to the finals or get a good ranking."

"You are still young and have a bright future ahead of you. Don't act impulsively. Xiao San, just bear with it a little longer. The best time is to add a soul ring to the Clear Sky Hammer after you have cultivated the Blue Silver Grass to level 60."

"Adding spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer too early will only deplete your future potential."

Tang San, a member of the Golden Generation, was taken aback. He had thought that Li Xun might be his strongest opponent in this Soul Master Competition, but he did not expect that there were three Soul Kings hidden among them.

However, when he thought about how Yu Xiaogang was still using the same old rhetoric, his resolve gradually strengthened.

Tang San calmed his rapid breathing and looked at Yu Xiaogang with a firm gaze: "Teacher, even without them, I plan to switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer. Now, as my soul power increases, the weakness of the Blue Silver Grass is becoming more and more obvious. How far do you think I can go with this martial soul? How long will it take to cultivate it?"

"It's true that adding spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer now would be a waste of some potential, but I believe that compared to the time it takes, I can still accept it."

Yu Xiaogang frowned as he looked at Tang San, whose emotions seemed to be fluctuating slightly. "What are you trying to say?"

"Teacher, I've thought about this for a long time and gradually understood why I'm so strong. Although I'm not even fifteen years old yet, I've put in so much effort into cultivation. I don't want my efforts to be meaningless. Blue Silver Grass is a useless martial soul to begin with; what's the point of wasting time on it?"

Normally, if Yu Xiaogang frowned, Tang San might still feel lingering fear, but now all he cared about was becoming stronger: "Now that I am a four-ring Soul Master, I only need four suitable Soul Rings to boost the power of the Clear Sky Hammer. This will not only improve my combat strength but also save me a lot of meaningless training."

"Teacher, why is Li Xun so powerful? Why did he reach the Soul King realm before me, even with my twin martial souls? Isn't it because he only needs to focus on cultivating one powerful martial soul?"

Yu Xiaogang was speechless for a moment upon hearing this. Yes, he had long been thinking about attaching ten-thousand-year soul rings to the entire Clear Sky Hammer, but he had forgotten that soul masters have an optimal golden period for cultivation.

Isn't he himself an example?

Since Tang San accidentally absorbed his level eight soul power when he helped him detoxify last time, he hasn't been able to cultivate back to level one soul power in the past two years.

If we look at it this way, if Xiao San continues to cultivate with Blue Silver Grass, how long will it take to raise her soul power?

Li Xun is already a Soul King, and the grudges between the two sides are not small. Is it really a good choice for him to restrict the development of his mistress so tightly?

If he hadn't let his mistress cultivate Blue Silver Grass first, would she have already surpassed her peers?

Seeing Yu Xiaogang remain silent, Tang San's voice became urgent: "Teacher, please let me cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer. Now that the Blue Silver Grass is ruined, do you really want me to continue down the wrong path?"

Tang San was somewhat agitated, not only because Yu Xiaogang was still reciting the same old script, but also because of his silence. However, even in his agitation, he retained some rationality and did not voice his doubts about the Blue Silver Grass's attached spirit ring.

Even so, Yu Xiaogang understood the underlying meaning. His breathing became slightly heavier, and his face darkened.

However, considering the effort and time he had invested in Tang San, and comparing it with Li Xun's powerful performance after choosing his spirit ring, Yu Xiaogang was not angry.

Because he knew in his heart that he might have made a slight mistake in choosing Tang San's martial soul.

Yu Xiaogang's expression suddenly turned serious, and he looked at Tang San with a stern gaze: "Xiao San, don't be anxious. I need to go out for a while. In the meantime, don't think about the second spirit. Just lead the team and focus on your cultivation. We'll talk about everything when I get back."

"You want to leave? Why?" Tang San's dark face flashed with anger. He didn't expect that his teacher would try to escape in order to hinder his cultivation of the Clear Sky Hammer. He was about to say something harsh when Yu Xiaogang interrupted him.

"Little San, I went out this time to learn more about twin martial souls. You need to know that cultivating twin martial souls is fraught with risks; a slight mistake can lead to your body exploding and dying. I'm doing this for your safety."

After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, he sighed, then silently turned around and walked somewhat forlornly towards the door.

Tang San was taken aback, his anger subsided, and he was even somewhat moved. He reached out to grab Yu Xiaogang, but he didn't know what else he could say if he left the other person behind.

Just as Tang San was feeling sentimental, Xiao Wu's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Teacher, please let me play. Heng Laoda and the others will need at least two more days to recover from their injuries. Right now, only I can relieve some of the pressure on Third Brother."

Yu Xiaogang frowned as he looked at Xiao Wu's pleading expression: "Xiao Wu, I think I made things very clear to you last time. There are quite a few titles in Tiandou City now, what you're doing is very dangerous."

Xiao Wu remained silent for a while, then her eyes gradually hardened: "Teacher, how could those strong players have the time to watch the juniors' matches except for the opening ceremony of the preliminaries? I'm willing to take the risk for the team."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

The Soul Master Tournament is in full swing, and the opening ceremony of the Heaven Dou Team has further boosted its popularity. The 80,000 seats in the Great Soul Arena are basically full every day.

Unlike the first day of the competition, this time, in addition to the central area, four other arenas of the same size were set up around it.

Whenever Li Xun and his Heavenly Dou team appeared on stage, the audience's enthusiasm would reach its peak. But this atmosphere would quickly fade away as Li Xun strolled around the Soul Arena.

Li Xun was also helpless about this.

Because, apart from a few strong teams, such as Five Elements Academy, most teams participating in the qualifiers would concede defeat the moment he stepped onto the field. Nobody wanted their future matches ruined by a single win or loss.

After all, every team has the potential to lose a game, right? So why not just consider there as four qualifying spots?

"Li Xun, I know you're strong, but our Shenfeng Academy team might not necessarily lose to you."

Li Xun looked at the strongest sycophant among the juniors of Douluo Continent and was amused: "Your name is Feng Xiaotian, right? I've heard your story."
