"Xiao San, go get the fourth book from the left in the second row of the bookshelf on the left. Your task these days is to finish reading this book. This book records my research on weapon spirits, and it should be useful for you... Hmm? Xiao San, Xiao San!"
Yu Xiaogang originally planned to assign homework to Tang San, but he saw that Tang San did not respond for a long time. He looked up and found that Tang San was absent-minded.
"Hmm? Teacher, what did you just say?" Tang San was startled and came back to his senses.
"What happened to you these days? Why are you absent-minded?" Yu Xiaogang frowned.
Tang San opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he could only smile bitterly.
"You followed that Cheng Xiao to hunt soul beasts a few days ago, right? Are you injured?" Yu Xiaogang recalled and asked.
"No. No one is injured. Cheng Xiao hunted the Soul Binding Vine. It was not difficult, but..." Tang San was depressed: "Teacher, I am now somewhat doubtful whether the path of a control-type soul master is correct."
Yu Xiaogang's expression became serious. His disciple actually began to doubt the soul master path he chose. This is not a good sign.
It seems that something happened a few days ago, otherwise Tang San would never fall into self-doubt. He still understands the character of this disciple.
"What happened? Tell me in detail."
"A few days ago, Xiao Wu and I helped Cheng Xiao hunt a five-hundred-year-old soul-binding vine, and then..."
"Wait, you said five hundred years? You didn't see it wrong?" Yu Xiaogang interrupted.
"It can't be wrong. Teacher has taught me for so long, don't you know it? Soul Binding Vine is a plant system. I remember it very firmly and there will be no mistake."
Yu Xiaogang stood up in a flash, and a touch of excitement burst out in his eyes. Five hundred years, the first soul ring of five hundred years! In other words, the strength of the physical body can indeed affect the upper limit of the soul ring! No wonder that kid works hard every day!
He wanted to publish the paper as soon as possible to give the spirit master world a small shock.
No, that kid can only be regarded as an isolated case at most. There must be a second case to be convincing enough, and this second case must be under various conditions to convince everyone.
And this second case...
Yu Xiaogang's eyes fell on Tang San, and his breathing was a little rapid. No one is more suitable than him as a disciple!
"Isn't this a good thing? He proved that it is possible to absorb beyond the age limit. Are you discouraged just because of this?" Yu Xiaogang smiled and shook his head, comforting him: "Don't forget what I taught you before. Although the age of the spirit ring is important, it is far less important than the spirit master route. As long as the direction is right, the disadvantage of the spirit ring age can be made up."
"Moreover, he helped us verify the feasibility of absorbing beyond the age limit. We can try it with confidence later. Don't worry, I will arrange all the training plans for you so that you can make up for these gaps in the later spirit rings."
Tang San shook his head and forced a smile: "Thank you, teacher. But it's not because of this, but because I lost to him."
Then, Tang San told Yu Xiaogang everything about the competition that day.
After listening to Tang San's narration, Yu Xiaogang fell into silence. He didn't expect that the innate level one mutant martial spirit could have such an outstanding performance. This was really beyond his expectation.
But that's all it can go. Level one of the innate realm is level one of the innate realm. No matter how amazing the first soul skill is, it can't cover up the fact that you're a waste. After a long silence, Yu Xiaogang spoke again: "Xiao San, the teacher does not blame you for this failure. But what you should never do is to be so depressed these days. Do you regard me as your teacher?"
Tang San was shocked when he heard this. This was a serious statement. He immediately knelt in front of Yu Xiaogang: "Teacher, what are you talking about? How could Xiao San not regard you as a teacher? Once a teacher, always a father. Since Xiao San has worshipped you as his teacher, it will never change in his life."
"Hey, get up." Yu Xiaogang sighed lightly and touched Tang San's head: "Xiao San, remember, I am your teacher. In the future, no matter what questions you have in your cultivation, you should communicate with me as soon as possible. As a teacher, I will point out your shortcomings and help you improve your future cultivation."
"Yes, Xiao San remembers. Xiao San knows his mistake." Tang San nodded heavily.
"Xiao San, this time, the failure is not your fault. You have little practical experience now, so you suffered a great loss. When you are more experienced, you will naturally have ways to deal with it. For example, this Cheng Xiao, do you think his spirit skills are really perfect?"
Tang San hesitated for a while. Although he did not find a way to crack it, he still intuitively believed that Cheng Xiao's first spirit skill was not unsolvable.
"I was able to analyze the three shortcomings of his spirit skill in an instant." Yu Xiaogang stretched out three fingers.
"The first is that although the shadow follows the person, its ability is bound by the size and depth of the shadow. If it rises into the air, will the shadow shrink and become shallower? At that time, the binding power of the shadow must be greatly reduced."
"The second is that the shadow must be restricted by his soul power. From your description just now, the height of his shadow tentacles is only at your waist. It will not be able to completely bind you until you fall down. Does this mean that there is a limit to his height? As long as you react and jump up in the first time, you may be able to avoid the binding of the tentacles."
"There is also a more important point, which is the third point. Since the shadow has been materialized, it can no longer be regarded as a shadow, but as a rope. If it is a rope, it must have an upper limit. If your soul power and strength are strong enough, you can directly shatter the tentacles of the shadow." Regardless
of Yu Xiaogang's character, he has devoted himself to studying theoretical knowledge for so many years, and he still has a vision. He actually analyzed the shortcomings of Cheng Xiao's soul skills and even the method to crack them. If Cheng Xiao was here, he might have to applaud Yu Xiaogang.
However, the premise of these analyses is that his martial spirit is only the current "castrated version". When he really releases the Shadow King, the power of all his spirit skills will get a qualitative leap.
If we really use the current "castrated version" to formulate targeted tactics, it would be a bit of a waste of time. Cheng Xiao would probably laugh so hard that she would faint.
However, Tang San didn't know all this. After listening to the teacher's advice, he suddenly felt enlightened, and all the troubles that had troubled him before disappeared.
"Teacher, thank you for your advice, I understand!" Tang San said excitedly.
Sure enough, the teacher was right. In the future, he could no longer easily doubt the route chosen by the teacher for him. The teacher had been immersed in theory for so many years, how could he give him a wrong route?
"Also, don't pay too much attention to Cheng Xiao. His innate spirit power is only level one. I see him working hard every day. He is overdrawing his potential." Yu Xiaogang's mind flashed with the figure who worked himself to exhaustion every day. He said with certainty: "I dare to assert that he can only reach level 19 in his lifetime!"
He squeezed himself every day, and there was no large amount of rare spirit beast meat and medicinal materials to supplement. When his potential was squandered, he would never be able to make a breakthrough again.
"Do you want to treat a lifelong spirit master as your opponent? Don't put your mind on him. You have twin martial spirits. If nothing unexpected happens, you will become a Titled Douluo in the future. Your opponents should be the young Tianjiao of this continent, those Titled Douluo who have already become famous!"
Tang San nodded heavily. Yes, how could he value a guy who can only be a spirit master for his whole life? That guy is not worthy of being his opponent!
The gap between them will become bigger and bigger. By then, Xiao Wu will only rely more and more on her brother, not Cheng Xiao!
For a moment, Tang San was in a good mood, and the depression brought by Cheng Xiao was swept away.
"I understand, teacher!"
