Chapter 37 Tang San and the Master's Wisdom
The Soul Hunting Forest is a comprehensive hunting ground for spirit rings controlled by the Spirit Hall.
Beyond the forest, a bustling scene came into view. Large swathes of houses stretched out, scattered in a well-organized manner. The streets were bustling with noise, with shouts, calls, and the sounds of bargaining rising and falling, echoing through the streets and alleys.
The vendors enthusiastically displayed their goods to passing Soul Masters, ranging from Soul Beast materials to all sorts of strange and wonderful Soul Guidance Devices.
Whether it's a thousand-year-old soul beast or a ten-year-old soul beast, soul masters can find their own one here.
This forest is extremely safe, meticulously maintained by the Spirit Hall, making it an ideal location for low-level Spirit Masters to acquire Spirit Rings. Here, Spirit Masters can hunt for Spirit Rings with complete peace of mind, without worrying about being attacked by powerful Spirit Beasts.
On a path in the middle of the forest, two figures, one tall and one short, were moving quickly. They carefully avoided the fallen leaves and branches on the ground so as not to make a sound and disturb the surrounding spirit beasts.
Both of them were very vigilant, observing their surroundings and preparing to deal with any potential dangers.
The boy next to him, about six years old, had a faint purple light gleaming in his eyes; this boy was none other than Tang San.
Just a few days ago, Tang San and the Master met again, and they immediately became sworn brothers and disciples.
However, Tang San seemed to be in a very bad mood. His brows were furrowed, and his face carried a hint of melancholy.
He was filled with doubt and confusion, wondering why Xiao Wu wasn't clinging to him every day in this life as he had expected. Although Tang San still became Xiao Wu's subordinate thanks to his extraordinary wisdom as a God King, their relationship was nowhere near as close as it had been in the previous life.
"Sigh, could it be that my rebirth caused some changes?"
Tang San sighed helplessly. He couldn't figure it out for the time being, so he stopped thinking about it. After all, the most important thing right now was to quickly obtain his first spirit ring.
After obtaining his first spirit ring, he would be able to advance to the next level as a spirit master, and he could then receive a monthly subsidy of one gold spirit coin from the Spirit Hall to improve his meals.
Having been eating porridge, congee, and eggs in the work-study students' canteen every day, Tang San felt his mouth was getting so bland. It was practically inedible. He, Tang San, was going to eat on the second floor of the canteen.
As for receiving the Spirit Hall's subsidy, Tang San felt no burden whatsoever. After all, why not take the money that white-collar workers earn?
Moreover, according to the master, the money distributed by the Spirit Hall came from the two great empires, so Tang San felt even less guilty.
What a joke! He himself is the future Blue King of the Heaven Dou Empire, the teacher of Emperor Xue Beng, and his good brother Dai Mubai is a prince of the Star Luo Empire. So those gold soul coins are actually his money.
What does Tang San taking his own gold soul coins have to do with the Spirit Hall?
As for the choice of his first spirit ring, Tang San had his own plan in this life. In this life, Tang San did not intend to hunt the Mandragora Snake from his previous life, but rather a Ghost Vine.
The reason is simple: after being reborn, even without obtaining a spirit ring, Tang San can still use Blue Silver Grass to entwine.
Just three days ago, Tang San demonstrated his self-created soul skill, Entanglement, to Grandmaster, who was so moved that he burst into tears on the spot.
At only six years old, and not even a Soul Master yet, he had already created a Soul Skill through his own ingenuity. How terrifying! What astonishing talent! It's simply terrifying!
This means that after Tang San advances to the Title Douluo level, he will have a total of ten soul skills! That's one more soul skill than other soul masters. Such a genius is actually a disciple of his master, Yu Xiaogang. What an honor!
Yu Xiaogang originally thought that his disciple Tang San's talent was already terrifying, but he never expected that his intelligence would be just as terrifying! With such a peerless genius as his disciple, Yu Xiaogang could die without regrets!
As for Tang San, he was not arrogant or complacent after creating the Blue Silver Grass Entanglement skill. After all, who was he? He was Tang God King, and even in the God Realm where experts were numerous, his wisdom was among the best.
Although Tang San is known throughout the God Realm for his powerful strength as the Asura God and the Sea God, his wisdom is in no way inferior to his strength.
After all, in his previous life, Tang San had clearly heard several gods privately call him the God King of Wisdom. This was the entire God Realm's recognition of his wisdom! One can imagine just how astonishing the wisdom he displayed in his daily life was!
Compared to the recognition of the entire God Realm, the fact that he created the Blue Silver Grass Entanglement technique himself seemed insignificant. After all, Tang San's goal was the stars and the sea; why would he be complacent about such a small matter?
There are many ghost vines in the Soul Hunting Forest. Before long, Tang San found a nine-hundred-year-old blood thorn.
In reality, with Tang San's current strength, absorbing a thousand-year spirit ring would be no problem at all, but he chose a nine-hundred-year spirit ring instead. This is because Tang San clearly understands the principle that "the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind."
If Tang San's first spirit ring were a thousand-year one, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Spirit Hall, which would be detrimental to his current growth and plans. Therefore, he chose a nine-hundred-year spirit ring, which would both enhance his strength and allow him to maintain a certain low profile, avoiding premature exposure to the Spirit Hall.
The forty-fourth rule of Tang Sect disciples is that before one becomes powerful, one must act submissively and patiently, and then retaliate against the enemy with overwhelming force when one becomes powerful.
Tang San was always very familiar with these golden rules and regulations written in the Tang Sect Code.
However, the fact that he only chose the nine-hundred-year-old Bloodthorn was enough to surprise the master: "Little San, you don't mean to choose this nine-hundred-year-old Bloodthorn as your first spirit ring, do you?"
"Yes, teacher, this nine-hundred-year-old soul beast is the target of my first soul ring."
Tang San's eyes gleamed with confidence.
"No, absolutely not! You can't absorb this soul beast at all. I've never heard of anyone being able to absorb a soul beast for nine hundred years with their first soul ring. You're just kidding!"
The master pointed at Tang San and said sternly.
"Teacher, listen to me. Since I dared to choose this nine-hundred-year-old soul beast as my first soul ring, I naturally have my reasons. My mind is made up, and you don't need to persuade me anymore!"
Tang San straightened his chest and raised his head to say this, expecting to receive praise from the master. However, to Tang San's surprise, he was slapped hard across the face by Yu Xiaogang.
This slap completely stunned Tang San.
This doesn't make sense. Logically, shouldn't one receive praise after confidently saying something like that? What's the point of this slap?
