Chapter 6 Before Enrollment
Before dawn the next day, Gu You arrived at the cliff where Tang San was practicing the Purple Demon Pupil.
Not long after, Tang San arrived. Seeing Gu You, he didn't say much and just sat down with his eyes wide open, looking in the direction where the sun was going to rise.
When Tang San closed his eyes and stood up again, Gu You also stood up and asked, "Xiao San, how was yesterday? Did Uncle Tang say anything?"
Tang San twisted his neck and replied: "Dad looked at my martial spirit yesterday and didn't say anything. He just told me to use the hammer in my left hand to protect the grass in my right hand."
Tang San and Gu You walked down the mountain along the path, saying as they walked: "I also told him that the Spirit Hall's Spirit Master invited you and me to join the Spirit Hall. He was not very emotional after hearing that, but he recovered when he heard me say that he would consider it."
"Then did you tell me that I also have innate full soul power?" "No, he didn't ask, so I didn't say it."
"Xiao San, judging from your father's behavior, he is most likely Haotian Douluo. He asked you to use the hammer to protect the Blue Silver Grass. Maybe your mother's martial spirit is the Blue Silver Grass, and your father didn't protect her well, so she became so decadent."
"Although I don't know why your father didn't tell you his true identity, we are born with full soul power, which means that we can become real soul masters as long as we absorb a soul ring. There are only two people with twin martial souls in history. One of them was a person from a very long time ago, and the other is the current pope of the Spirit Hall. You are the third one. I need to go to the Notting City Spirit Hall to check some information. You'd better not add soul rings to your martial soul yet."
"Why?" Tang San was puzzled. "As long as the martial spirit has a spirit ring, it can be upgraded and continue to practice. Why not add a spirit ring first?"
"Because according to the records in the books, the first person with twin martial souls exploded and died when absorbing spirit rings. Currently, it is known that only the Pope of the current Spirit Hall is the first to cultivate twin martial souls to the level of Titled Douluo." Gu You replied.
"And I will also help you plan the development direction of your martial soul. I will give you several routes, you choose one, and your father probably won't take you to add spirit rings if he doesn't tell you the truth, so you must endure it. I swear in the name of the first genius of the Holy Soul Village that I will make you successfully become the second Titled Douluo with twin martial souls."
Seeing Gu You's determined expression, Tang San laughed and said, "Okay, No. 1 genius, I trust you. I'll leave my spirit ring pairing to you." "Leave it to me."
That was all. Apart from the time they spent chatting and fishing every afternoon, three months passed in a flash as Gu You continued to read books and Tang San learned about blacksmithing.
On the afternoon before departure, Gu You asked Tang San to come to this deserted pond.
Three months of learning ironwork made Tang San's originally fair face rough. Gu You said, "I will go to Notting City to study tomorrow. Xiao San, I have prepared several directions for our martial arts development in these three months. You have to decide how to develop your two martial arts."
Hearing this, Tang San, who was originally lying on the grass to relax, immediately sat up and looked at Gu You eagerly.
"Xiao San, you are different from me. You have two martial souls, and they are innately full soul power. This means that if nothing unexpected happens, you can cultivate to the level of Titled Douluo and have a full eighteen soul skills."
"Let me start with the conclusion. My suggestion is that you should practice the Blue Silver Grass spirit first, and then practice the Clear Sky Hammer. The Blue Silver Grass is an amplification-type auxiliary system, while the Clear Sky Hammer is a standing-type strong attack system."
"Amplification-type auxiliary system and standing-type strong attack system? You said that the categories of martial spirits include strong attack system, agility attack system, control system, auxiliary system, and the relatively rare defense system and food system. What are these two?"
"Xiao San, this is a new classification I came up with after three months of careful consideration. It makes the original soul master classification more detailed."
"First is the strong attack type. Usually, all soul masters who are mainly attack-oriented and relatively slow are classified as strong attack type. I have read a lot of soul master records in the Spirit Hall and found that those with wolf spirits, bear spirits, sword spirits or hammer spirits are all called strong attack type soul masters."
Gu You paused, "This raises a question. Even if the spirit skills of these martial souls are mainly attack-oriented, the damage caused and the way of causing damage are completely different. For example, if the martial soul is a bear spirit master, the effect of the first spirit skill combines defense and strength, then he is undoubtedly a strong attack spirit master, but if your martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer, will you add a spirit skill that increases both defense and attack power at the same time? It's impossible, because the hammer is a weapon martial soul that attacks with handheld weapons, and the protective ability of the added defense is not as much as that of the beast martial soul."
"The same is true for the comparison between the Wolf Martial Soul and the Bear Martial Soul. Even if they have the same soul skills, the benefits in battle are different. No matter how you look at it, the Bear Martial Soul is better at withstanding damage."
"So I made a more detailed division of the martial soul categories and development directions. Now there is only one afternoon, so I will not tell you my thoughts in detail. Let's talk about the development direction of your martial soul first."
"First is the Blue Silver Grass. This martial spirit has two major development directions, one is the auxiliary system, and the other is the control system."
"First of all, I don't recommend the development of the control system. From the perspective of the characteristics of the martial soul itself, Blue Silver Grass does not have the characteristics of other common plant-type martial souls, such as the strength of vines or the diversity of types. So if you want to go the control route, you must add control capabilities to Blue Silver Grass. So what are the abilities that can effectively add control capabilities to Blue Silver Grass?"
After saying that, Gu You stretched out a finger and said, "One word, poison."
"Blue Silver Grass wants to control others, but its own strength is far inferior to that of vines, so it can only add poison to make up for the lack of control. However, Blue Silver Grass itself is not poisonous, so we have to do both and consider a spirit ring that can both increase the strength of Blue Silver Grass and carry poison."
"The conclusion is snakes. Snake soul beasts among animal-type soul beasts meet both requirements."
"Xiao San, I believe that some mediocre masters will let you add an animal-type poison spirit ring to the blue silver grass, so that you can embark on the path of a control-type spirit master. Their reference objects are vines or ropes, which are completely different from yours. But you must know that the blue silver grass is different from those spirits. Although it is weak, it has strong vitality and super-fast reproduction and growth speed. And this is why it is suitable for the auxiliary system."

Chapter 7 Growth Direction
"Xiao San, you have to look at the problem from a long-term perspective. If there is no accident, your future will be a Titled Douluo. If you choose the control system, then the simplest question is whether your martial soul can support the nine spirit rings that are all poisonous, and not let your martial soul be dragged down by the spirit rings and corroded by the spirit skills."
"And Xiao San, I believe you have tried to use two martial spirits at the same time. If you call out one, the other one cannot be activated."
Tang San nodded.
"If you choose the control system, no matter how strong you are, you will not be able to control the enemy with the Blue Silver Grass and knock him down with the Clear Sky Hammer at the same time. And if you cannot add poison to all your martial souls, you can only rely on the poison of the first few soul skills to control the enemies who are also Title Douluo. So, if you want to choose the control system, then before the 70th level martial soul true body, you will be very outstanding. Once you reach the Soul Saint and awaken the martial soul true body, the Blue Silver Grass will not be strong enough to hold others, and the poison will be suppressed by the strong soul power of people at the same level. Then your Blue Silver Grass martial soul will become unable to win against those stronger than you, and those at the same level will mostly lose, and those weaker than you will win slowly. There is also the risk of being attacked by the poison."
Tang San was frightened by this idea and asked quickly: "Then I won't go for the control department, what will happen if I go for the auxiliary department?"
Gu You slowed down and continued, "The auxiliary system is to fully utilize the characteristics of the Blue Silver Grass, which is strong in vitality and large in number, to transfer vitality to teammates, thereby recovering their injuries, and it may even have an effect on the recovery of soul power."
"Moreover, the effects of auxiliary spirit skills can also help you use your second spirit, Clear Sky Hammer, better. In addition to providing spirit skills, spirit rings can also subtly and imperceptibly reflect the characteristics of spirit skills on spirit masters. In other words, if the spirit skill attached to the Blue Silver Grass is to restore vitality, your own vitality will also become stronger."
"Finally, if you choose the auxiliary path, then the spirit ring will be determined to be a plant-type spirit beast with outstanding vitality. According to my research, spirit rings have a certain influence on martial spirits, which may help your blue silver grass to show its true form."
Tang San was silent, thought for a while, and then asked: "What about the Clear Sky Hammer? How can I add a spirit ring to my Clear Sky Hammer?"
"Xiao San, my suggestion is to purely strengthen the strength. The various materials I have read all show that the users of the Clear Sky Hammer of all generations have focused on strength, and they emphasize the ability to break all laws with one force."
"However, I noticed that you seem to like forging very much. You have been telling me about your learning of blacksmithing recently."
"Yes, I like forging and ironworking. Is there any problem?" Tang San asked doubtfully.
Gu You shook his head and said, "I have been thinking about it again these days. The recorded users of the Clear Sky Hammer were all recorded because of their strong combat power. This makes the Clear Sky Hammer's strengthening route fixed as a war hammer."
"But Xiao San, if you regard the Clear Sky Hammer as a tool that can help you forge better, then it's different."
"How to say?"
"First of all, the elements of forging are strength, skill, and temperature. Without the right temperature, the requirements for strength and skill will be greatly increased. If you want to move forward along the path of forging, then the spirit ring of the Clear Sky Hammer cannot be pure strength, but needs to be added with fire attributes. The hammer itself has its own flames and can smelt metal better."
“Although this Clear Sky Hammer cannot be said to be the best weapon spirit in the world, but with this unique Clear Sky Hammer, you have every chance of becoming the best forging master in the world.”
"Xiao San, I know you are very conflicted and it is difficult to make a choice, but there is not enough time for me to explain my thoughts to you seriously. This is a very important choice. Should Blue Silver Grass go the control route or the auxiliary route? Should the Clear Sky Hammer be used as a combat martial spirit or as a forging hammer to become famous throughout the world? You need to consider these carefully before giving me an answer."
Tang San nodded, "Thank you, Xiaoyou, for helping me think so much."
"It's okay. Like I said, we are brothers, and I will always have your back."
Tang San looked at Gu You with emotion and asked, "What about your martial spirit? Which direction is your ultimate conduction beast martial spirit going to develop in?"
"I have tested my martial soul, the Ultimate Conductive Terrorbeast, and found that it excels in strength, endurance, and defense, but has poor speed. It also has a special energy attack method. So considering the above characteristics, I plan to go for a standing strong attack spirit ring combination."
"Xiao San, when we arrive at the Notting City Junior Spirit Master Academy tomorrow, I hope you can become my assistant and help me study martial spirit knowledge." After saying that, Gu You stood up, turned around and stretched out his right hand to Tang San. "Come and help me, Xiao San, we will change this world."
Tang San thought of his father's wish for him to work in the blacksmith shop in the city, and saw Gu You extending his right hand towards him.
Looking at the smile on Gu You's face, Tang San thought of his previous life in the Tang Sect. Although he was confident that he had the best talent for hidden weapons in the Tang Sect, as an outer sect disciple, he had no access to core skills and hidden weapon techniques. He could only learn them secretly and then successfully created them before jumping off a cliff to repay the Tang Sect's kindness to him with three Buddha's Wrath Tanglians made with the outer sect's highest technology.
After reincarnating into this new world, the father of the body never gave me the warmth of home. Not only did he live in a poor place, but he could only eat porridge frequently. After I awakened my martial soul, I only said that I didn't want to become a soul master because of the blue silver grass and the innate full soul power. After showing the twin martial souls, he treated me as a child and gave me the first hug since I was born.
I also remembered how I was isolated by other children in the village and how other villagers gossiped about me behind my back. Although I didn't want to have anything to do with them, I still felt resentful.
But soon, the unpleasant memories and resentment slowly faded away. Tang San remembered that he was stopped by Gu You when he was walking alone on the road. Although he treated him coldly at that time, Gu You not only did not leave, but also warmly invited him to go fishing together. He also learned that his family was not well off, so he often invited him to his house for dinner, and said that he could take all the fish he caught away if he got tired of eating them.
Comparing the images of his father and good brother in his mind, Tang San slowly raised his right hand, tightly held Gu You's hand, and exerted force to stand up.
"Of course, like you said, we are brothers."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
People's hearts are complicated. Even the best of friends will have waves when their vital interests are involved. In order not to spoil the plot, I will stop here. Finally, I still ask for recommendation votes and collections
Chapter 8: Refuting the “Master” Theory
The next morning, Gu You and Tang San followed Old Jack and borrowed a carriage from the villagers and rushed to Nottingham.
"Xiao San, we will probably arrive in Nottingham in the afternoon. You and Xiao You should have a good rest in the car."
Old Jack knew that Tang San had never left the Holy Spirit Village, and was worried that he couldn't stand the loneliness, so he gave him some advice in advance.
After Tang San replied "OK", he continued to listen to Gu You explain his soul master theory.
"Xiao San, yesterday I briefly told you about my new classification of martial spirits. Considering that you will be going to school in a few days, in order to prevent the knowledge of the teachers in the academy from having a preconceived influence on you, I will first tell you my new thoughts on martial spirits."
After making sure that Tang San was listening to him carefully, Gu You continued.
"In recent years, when it comes to martial spirit research, one person that must be mentioned is Yu Xiaogang, nicknamed "Master". He proposed the theory of "The Ten Core Competitive Powers of Martial Spirits."
"These ten rules are: First, each person's martial spirit can only inherit the stronger and better one of his parents."
"Second, there is a very low chance that a martial soul will mutate during the inheritance process. This mutation can be good or bad."
"Third, the awakening of soul power is often related to the quality of the martial soul. The better the martial soul, the higher the innate soul power."
"Fourth, soul masters need to obtain soul rings to advance. Soul rings are divided into five levels, divided according to the age of the soul beasts they were produced. There are ten-year white, one-hundred-year yellow, one-thousand-year purple, ten-thousand-year black and the last one hundred-thousand-year red."
"Fifth, soul masters all have their own development direction, and they should choose the development direction to train according to the characteristics of their own martial souls."
"Sixth, when a soul master reaches a bottleneck in his cultivation, even if he does not obtain a soul ring immediately, continuing to cultivate will not affect the improvement of his soul power."
"Seven, martial souls are divided into weapon martial souls and beast martial souls. Before level 70, beast martial souls are stronger than weapon martial souls, and after level 70, weapon martial souls are stronger than beast martial souls."
"Eight, there are no useless martial spirits in the world, only useless spirit masters."
"Nine, there is no limit to the absorption of spirit rings by martial spirits. Even plant-type martial spirits can absorb spirit rings from animal-type spirit beasts."
"Ten. Even if they are completely different martial souls, it is possible to create a martial soul fusion technique."
After Yu Xiaogang finished talking about the "Top Ten Competitive Strengths of the Martial Soul Core" in one breath, Gu You looked at Tang San and fell into thought, and asked: "Xiao San, do you think there is any problem here?"
"It sounds right. I don't think there's anything wrong with it." Tang San thought for a moment and replied.
"That's right, Xiaosan. It sounds quite right. This is where this person is brilliant. He mixed some correct theories with completely meaningless things, and the result is the ten major competitive forces we see now."
"First of all, Xiao San, do you still remember the little girl in our village who also awakened her martial spirit and also had blue silver grass?"
"Remember, what happened."
"First of all, Blue Silver Grass is currently recognized as the most useless of all useless spirits. You should also know this. Having no spirit is even worse than Blue Silver Grass. In other words, as long as both parents have Blue Silver Grass spirits, the spirit awakened by the child cannot be Blue Silver Grass. Even a piece of stone is better than Blue Silver Grass in terms of spirit quality."
"But the little girl still awakened the Blue Silver Grass spirit. I also asked my grandfather about her parents' spirits. Her father's spirit is Blue Silver Grass, but her mother's spirit is Embroidery Needle. According to Yu Xiaogang's theory, the spirit she awakened should be Embroidery Needle, so this theory is problematic."
"Then the third point is that the quality of martial souls is related to innate soul power. This is also obviously wrong. Martial souls of the same family bloodline have different innate soul powers. If it is said that the bloodline of beast martial souls affects the quality of martial souls, then the family of weapon martial souls is completely unreasonable. It may be that the sect where your hammer came from does not have all its members with full innate soul power."
When he said the last sentence, Gu You lowered his voice and whispered it close to Tang San's ear.
Tang San turned his head to look at Old Jack. Old Jack had no idea that the two children in the carriage had just revealed a huge secret, and was still driving the carriage leisurely.
Tang San looked at Gu You gratefully. Gu You blinked and raised a thumb, as if to say, "Don't worry, I haven't told anyone your secret."
"Not to mention the seventh one. The strength of each martial spirit must take into account the quality of the user. The choice of spirit rings and the restraint relationship between martial spirits also have an impact on the battle. A level 70 weapon spirit soul saint who has never had any combat experience and a level 50 beast spirit soul king who has rich combat experience, even if they have martial spirit true body soul saints, are unlikely to be able to defeat the soul king."
