"Not bad Xiao San, you perfectly understood the weakness of Blue Silver Grass and chose the right System suitable for it." Yu Xiaogong praised as he stared at his disciple.
Tang San felt overjoyed at being approved by his teacher but didn't say anything, feeling his teacher had something else to say. And true to his thoughts his master continued after taking a moment's break.
"Tool Spirits are mostly used for Assistance. But tool spirits also have potential to become Battle Soul Masters with the right combination of Soul Rings by making the tool spirit into a weapon spirit.
For example if Blue Silver Grass wasn't so small and were to have high soul power at the awakening, there is a possibility to make it a battle spirit.
And have I not mentioned it to you before? 'There is no useless Martial Soul, only useless Soul Masters'." Yu Xiaogong said and waited for his disciple to understand what he meant and ask him for suggestions.
Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogong in awe. 'Can my Blue Silver Grass become a Battle Spirit too?' He thought.
"Master, can my Blue Silver Grass become a Battle Spirit too?" He asked with hope in his eyes.
Yu Xiaogong nodded in appreciation then spoke up. "Yes it is possible. In my many years of research, I found Blue Silver Grass to be quite tenacious and has its own purpose, it's just that no one talented enough came along to actually prove Blue Silver Grass's Ability.
Your Blue Silver Grass while inherently weak has an innate advantage among all Martial Souls, it consumes least soul power. And since it's inherently weak it cannot reject any Soul Ring added to it."
"Martial Soul can reject Soul Rings?" Tang San asked incredulously.
"Of course, if the Martial Soul is in conflict with the Soul Ring's Source, it can reject the Soul Ring. But that won't happen with Blue Silver Grass because of its growth potential.
So, Xiao San, I believe you should take the Control System path instead of Healing System path, that way, you can Control your enemies with one hand and smash them with the other hand, once you attach Soul Rings to your 2nd Martial Soul."
Tang San imagined the scene and felt it was the best way to cultivate his Martial Soul and nodded eagerly.
Yu Xiaogong nodded feeling relaxed after achieving his goal.
'It's really nice to have a sensible child as a disciple. It makes the master's job easier.' He thought.
"Xiao San, Lets wait a month before getting your Soul Ring. Your physique is still slightly weak from your previous malnutrition and just catching up.
You should concentrate on blacksmithing to increase your strength for the next month." Yu Xiaogong said, shocking Tang San who still obediently nodded after thinking for a second.
'Master is right, I was being too hasty. I should build up my strength for the next month and eat as much as I can.' Tang San thought.
"Yes Master, I'll listen to you" He replied.
"Come to me at meal time, I'll take care of your meals from now on.
I didn't say anything before, so you concentrate on adjusting to your life in the academy and your blacksmithing job.
But now that you are almost ready to become a Soul Master. It's time I take proper care of your diet." Yu Xiaogong said generously.
Tang San teared up at the care shown by Yu Xiaogong and swore in his mind. 'Master, I'll definitely repay this favour in the future.'
"Thank you teacher but you don't have to.." Tang San offered symbolic resistance but was cut off mid-way by Yu Xiaogong.
Yu Xiaogong ruffled his hair seeing this and said. "Silly child, it's only right, I take care of you.
Didn't you say 'A teacher for a day, a father for a life?' I should make sure you are well fed."
'So warm… why does it feel so warm? I want to hold on to his hand.' Tang san thought as Yu Xiaogong ruffled his hair.
Tang San nodded a few moments later.
"Ok, now go and rest. You worked too hard the last few months, rest is also important for growth." Yu Xiaogong said and sent Tang San away.
After Tang San left, Yu Xiaogong closed the doors and slumped into his bed, tired.
'I can take care of Tang San's Soul Ring situation so why do I feel uneasy?
Should I ask for help from someone just in case? But if I asked the Dean he would most likely recommend someone who won't cooperate with me or that ELDER LI.
I don't like that kid, and I don't want to ask for his help. What happens if he doesn't agree with my theory in front of Tang San and tries to steer Xiao San into a different direction?
So, I should definitely avoid asking for help and prepare myself for the trip." Yu Xiaogong thought completely disregarding his own safety along with his student.
