Chapter 190: Tang San Begins Cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer! Ice and Fire?
In the Shrek Academy's rest room at the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena, all the other team members had left, leaving only Grandmaster and Tang San in the empty room.
In the recently concluded team battle against Blazing Fire Academy, Shrek Academy narrowly won.
Although Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was completely countered by the opponent's fire-attribute spirits, the strong performances of Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai, along with Tang San's use of the newly acquired ten-thousand-year-old spider-like right arm bone at the last moment, barely turned the tide of the battle.
"Little San, aren't you going back to rest? Is there something else?" Sitting in his wheelchair, Grandmaster looked at Tang San, who had been standing by the window for a long time, and spoke softly.
Hearing this, Tang San immediately turned around and quickly walked to Grandmaster.
He remained silent for a long while, a hint of resentment on his face. After a moment, he slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed firmly on Grandmaster, and said in a deep voice,
"Teacher, I... I want to switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer as my second spirit!"
Grandmaster's reaction surprised Tang San. He didn't get angry or refuse, but instead looked at Tang San with a deep gaze and asked in a low voice,
"Why do you suddenly have this idea?"
Seeing that Grandmaster didn't object, Tang San felt a little relieved. The resentment and frustration accumulated from today's battle surged up. He said with some excitement and resentment,
"Teacher, my Blue Silver Grass spirit, as its spirit power level continues to increase, its limitations as a standard useless spirit are becoming more and more obvious!"
"Whether it's Dai Mubai's White Tiger spirit, Fatty's Evil Fire Phoenix, or Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the foundations of these top-tier spirits are too strong! Their spirit skills will increase in power exponentially with the increase of spirit power, becoming more and more terrifying."
As he spoke, he slowly opened his palm and summoned his Dark Blue Silver Grass.
Although the Blue Silver Grass gained the ability to devour after its mutation, it was still extremely fragile in Tang San's eyes.
"And what about my Blue Silver Grass? Although you said it's highly malleable, it's just too useless! No matter how good the spirit rings I add, or how many skills I give it, the Blue Silver Grass's base attributes are just too poor. It can't compare to those top-tier spirits at all!"
"If it weren't for my good luck in unexpectedly obtaining the Eight Spider Lances external spirit bone and absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring beyond my level, forcibly improving my cultivation and physical attributes, I'm afraid my strength would have been far surpassed by Mu Bai and Fatty! Today, in the battle against Blazing Fire Academy, my sense of powerlessness was even stronger! Relying solely on Blue Silver Grass, I won't go far on my path to becoming a spirit master!"
Hearing this, Grandmaster nodded in deep agreement. He pushed his wheelchair closer to Tang San and said in a rather solemn tone:
"Little San, the problems you're thinking about right now are exactly the problems I've been pondering and researching recently."
"However, cultivating two spirits simultaneously has one major, and most fatal, obstacle. That is, the two spirits might conflict due to the different attributes of the added spirit rings!"
"On the Douluo Continent, you are the third person confirmed to possess twin martial souls."
"We are not the only clever people. We can think of cultivating two martial souls at the same time to make up for the shortcomings of a single martial soul, and our predecessors must have thought of it as well."
At this point, Grandmaster's voice carried a hint of heaviness.
"According to the Spirit Hall's secret records, the first genius spirit master to possess twin spirits, when he tried to add spirit rings to his second spirit, faced a situation very similar to yours now. He also felt that his first spirit lacked potential."
"However, when he carefully added a third spirit ring to his second spirit… the different attributes of the spirit power contained in the two spirits caused an irreconcilable and violent conflict within his body, ultimately leading to… his body exploding and his death, a truly tragic end."
Hearing this, Tang San's expression changed drastically. His pupils constricted, and he exclaimed incredulously, "Teacher, what did you say? That spirit master… exploded and died?"
Grandmaster nodded heavily, confirming this cruel fact, but then added, "However, judging from that failure's experience, at least one thing can be confirmed. When adding the first two spirit rings to the second spirit, the body shouldn't experience major problems. The conflict only fully erupted when the third spirit ring was added."
Tang San was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked,
"Then… Teacher, you just said I was the third, and there was another person with twin spirits? Did he… did he succeed?"
Upon hearing this question, Grandmaster's expression instantly became complex and profound. He remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, his voice carrying an indescribable emotion:
"The second person to possess twin martial souls... she succeeded. Moreover, not only did she succeed, but she also became one of the most powerful figures on the continent today."
"She is the current Pope of the Spirit Hall—Bibi Dong."
"What? Bibi Dong possesses twin martial souls?" Tang San's expression changed again. This news shocked and disbelieved him even more than hearing that the first person with twin martial souls had exploded and died.
That woman standing at the pinnacle of power on the continent actually possessed such talent?
"Hmm." Grandmaster nodded, looking at Tang San's shocked expression, and said with some confidence, "When I was young... I had a bit of a relationship with her."
"Little San, don't worry, I'll help you solve the problem of cultivating twin martial souls. At worst, I'll go to Spirit City in a few days and ask her to tell me how to properly cultivate twin martial souls to avoid the risk of exploding."
As he said this, a hint of certainty appeared on his face, as if he were recalling something from the past. "I believe that with the friendship we had back then, she shouldn't refuse me for such a small matter."
Taking a deep breath, Tang San didn't think too much and directly asked the most crucial question:
"Teacher, in your opinion, should I start adding spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer now? If I do, what attribute spirit rings would be most suitable?"
Hearing this, Grandmaster fell into deep thought, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest of his wheelchair.
A moment later, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes gleaming with the unique light of a martial soul theory researcher, and said solemnly, "Add! Now that we know the risks of the first two soul rings are relatively controllable, we must seize this opportunity. As for the attribute..."
"I think we should prioritize adding a fire attribute soul ring!"
"Fire attribute?" Tang San was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion, and asked,
"Teacher, why is that?"
"The Clear Sky Hammer is a pure power-type weapon martial soul, wouldn't adding a fire attribute be a bit incongruous? Besides, weren't we just countered by the fire attribute of the Blazing Fire Academy?"
"Precisely because we were countered, we need to understand and learn it even more, and even master it!" Grandmaster's voice rose a few decibels, carrying an almost obsessive excitement.
He immediately took out the theory inspired by the kettle of boiling water he had seen while watching the battle earlier.
"Little San, think about it! Water can overcome fire, that's common sense."
"But conversely, extreme flames can also evaporate water! The reason Tang Chuan's Blue Silver Grass is so troublesome is precisely because it contains extraordinary and boundless vitality. This vitality is similar to the property of water nourishing all things!"
"If your Clear Sky Hammer is equipped with a fire-attribute spirit ring, gaining the power of fire, then when facing Tang Chuan's life-giving Blue Silver Grass, you can achieve absolute attribute restraint! Use flames to burn his Blue Silver Grass, which is like the water of life! Wouldn't that be perfect?"
When Tang San heard the master use the theory that fire can overcome water to demonstrate the necessity of equipping the Clear Sky Hammer with a fire-attribute spirit ring, his mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he applied it to other situations:
"Teacher, if we look at it according to your spirit theory..."
"Although my Blue Silver Grass is inherently restrained by fire, if I later equip it with ice or water-attribute spirit rings, wouldn't it be possible for it to counter fire-attribute spirits like those of Blazing Fire Academy?"
"Even if complete fire resistance isn't possible, shouldn't the Blue Silver Grass at least develop some fire resistance? It shouldn't be like this now, easily burned away by flames and completely useless."
