Chapter 45: martial soul Awakening!
Innate full soul power plus a third Awakening? Is that even human?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Tang San's heart was in constant denial; his eyes, expression, and body language all revealed his immense disbelief, yet out of trust for Mo Bai, a shred of struggle remained.
But Mo Bai seemed not to notice this, nonchalantly and casually saying, "Little San, you know that my Martial Soul is an ontological martial soul, right."
Hearing Mo Bai suddenly change the subject, Tang San subconsciously nodded. His Martial Soul was his eyes; that was indisputable.
"You should believe that my Martial Soul underwent a second Awakening, right?"
Tang San was stunned for a moment, then nodded. The reason Mo Bai could Cultivate so quickly was because of that second Martial Soul Awakening.
The color of his eyes had changed too, so that was probably fine.
[Ding! Tang San has taken your lie — Martial Soul second Awakening — as the truth. Trust level 100%, manifestation level 100%. Martial Soul second Awakening successfully manifested!]
"But for a third Awakening, I truly have no confidence at all."
Mo Bai let out a long sigh and explained, "There is almost no historical record of a third Awakening, but after a second Awakening, most people still have a feeling of not having reached Perfection. Therefore, a third Awakening might exist, but the probability is even smaller than one in a hundred billion or ten billion. But since a possibility exists, one must try, right?"
"A hundred billion, ten billion, is the probability that small?" Tang San asked himself. His initial disbelief slowly transformed into trust under these three questions—trust in the low probability of a third Awakening.
Such a probability was almost no different from impossible.
Even for a Genius like Mo Bai, it shouldn't be possible, right?
Trying is just trying; it absolutely couldn't succeed, right?
Otherwise, he was already struggling to catch up to Innate full soul power; if Mo Bai Awakened again, he would never be able to catch up in this lifetime.
Since even Mo Bai said he had no confidence, he must truly have none.
Tang San kept trying to convince himself, but facing Mo Bai, he couldn't say such heartless words. Thinking of this, his mind couldn't help but recall the scene of his argument with his teacher last night.
He shouldn't have had that attitude...
Tang San immediately looked up at Mo Bai and said, "It's okay, Mo Bai, I believe in you. You can pass the third Awakening."
Mo Bai blinked seriously. Delusion could be used once a day, and he had already used it. He wasn't entirely sure if Tang San was being sincere or not, but it was highly likely he was comforting him.
But... Mo Bai reached out and patted Tang San's shoulder, wearing a look of hopelessness, and with a probe, he sighed softly, "I hope so."
His gaze fell on Tang San's silent expression; Tang San was truly comforting him. He immediately changed the subject, "Little San, you should have other things you want to ask. Feel free to say them; before I leave, I will help you answer them."
"Questions?" Tang San's expression shifted.
If one were to speak of the biggest problem troubling him recently, it was the degree of trust he had in his teacher. Various incorrect theories and things that shouldn't have been said formed a stark contrast with his previous appearance of diligent teaching and responsible care.
For a moment, he didn't know where to place his trust.
From the very beginning, he had heard that Mo Bai knew a lot about his teacher, so he should be able to get an answer.
Tang San slowly raised his head to meet Mo Bai's eyes and bluntly voiced his questions.
Upon hearing this, Mo Bai pondered for a moment.
When did he make Tang San's trust in Yu Xiaogang waver so much? He hadn't even done much yet...
But was he unworthy of trust? Yu Xiaogang was the last Spiritual pillar he had set for Tang San. If that were to disappear, there would be some trouble later on.
Besides, this was the key to controlling the direction of the plot.
His own layout was based on the original plot; if Tang San went off track, the difficulty of his layout would increase significantly.
Trusting Yu Xiaogang—given Yu Xiaogang's ability, it wouldn't cause him any harm. Presumably, today's events could also prove his own importance in Tang San's heart.
Yu Xiaogang shouldn't touch this minefield again.
Since Yu Xiaogang wouldn't affect the trust between him and Tang San, it was better to keep him.
Furthermore, it wasn't just that Yu Xiaogang was the Spiritual pillar he had set for Tang San; Tang San was also Yu Xiaogang's Spiritual pillar.
If he were ruined, Yu Xiaogang might have a Spiritual breakdown, which wouldn't be conducive to his layout for that woman.
So... Mo Bai pondered for a while and said seriously, "Although your teacher is a bit stubborn, most of his knowledge is correct. There is still value in him teaching you."
Tang San tilted his head in confusion. This didn't sound like something Mo Bai would say. He had originally thought Mo Bai would say bad things about his teacher, but why did it feel like a compliment now?
Why is this? And what right does the teacher have to be acknowledged by Mo Bai?
"Do you remember what I told you about the first emotional hurt your teacher suffered? A noble woman abandoned him." Mo Bai asked, staring at Tang San.
Tang San recalled for a moment and blurted out, "I remember."
"That noble woman is the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong." Mo Bai said earnestly, "Now you should know why I said his knowledge is so credible, right?"
"Pope of the Spirit Hall?!" Tang San's pupils shook, and he lost his voice for a moment.
So that was it. No wonder his teacher could obtain information from the Spirit Hall at any time; having the Elder Token was because of this relationship.
It wasn't like what his teacher said, that it was a reward for his own great research achievements.
So, what he was learning wasn't his teacher's knowledge, but the Spirit Hall's knowledge! No wonder Mo Bai would acknowledge it so much...
Everything seemed to make sense now.
Just as Tang San was lost in thought, Mo Bai curled his lips inadvertently, but suddenly, his eyes felt a stinging pain, and his head and body couldn't help but sway.
Ah Yin, who had been waiting in the room, noticed this scene and stepped forward at the right time, saying, "It's time, Young Lord."
Amidst this gentle reminder, Tang San couldn't help but snap back to reality. He subconsciously glanced at Sister A Yin; that familiar feeling still existed, but this had long been proven to be a connection between their Martial Souls.
Suppressing the palpitation in his heart, he looked at Mo Bai before him.
When the time of parting truly arrived, various emotions surged. The kindness given when they first met, the way he stood against the crowd to insist that he was Innate full soul power, and how he responded to his willful requests one by one—even spending a great price and taking a long time to help him keep an eye out for news on the purple pole grass, which was already useless to him...
The help he needed, Mo Bai provided; the things he wanted, Mo Bai gave. It seemed that by Mo Bai's side, he never had any worries.
Memories wove into threads, and a thousand words were stuck in his throat. For a moment, Tang San didn't know how to express himself, and in the end, it only gathered into one dry sentence: "Well... Mo Bai, see you later."
Hearing Tang San's words filled with emotion.
Mo Bai smiled: "We will definitely meet again, Little San."
