ang San already had thoughts of cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer spirit.
Although relying on Tang Sect techniques and his own combat tactics allowed Tang San to maintain a winning streak in the Great Spirit Arena, and even fight Dai Mubai with these, he knew deep down how much his spirit was holding him back.
In the past, he could accept it, as this meant his Tang Sect techniques played a significant role in his battles, highlighting their brilliance.
However, today's defeat, the powerlessness in today's battle, made him despair.
The reason Tang San could ignore it before was that he had encountered few fire-attribute Spirit Masters, and even fewer powerful ones.
Even Ma Hongjun's spirit skills appeared rigid in attack, allowing Tang San to dodge easily. But the Su Wen he encountered today was despair-inducing; his control over flames was completely beyond Ma Hongjun's comparison.
And this kind of control could always be improved as a Spirit Master cultivated.
If a fire-attribute Spirit Master reached the Spirit King level, their control over flames could basically reach Su Wen's level, leaving no gaps for him to utilize the Blue Silver Grass.
It wasn't about the development of fire, but simply that once the spirit ring reached five thousand years and above, the provided spirit skills were already quite powerful for fire-attribute Spirit Masters.
Coupled with Spirit King-level spirit power cultivation, the effect exerted would be the same as Su Wen's current suppression of Tang San's Blue Silver Grass.
But if he cultivated not the Blue Silver Grass spirit but the hammer spirit, Tang San was certain he absolutely wouldn't be as passive as he was now.
"Little San." Grandmaster sighed, looking at Tang San and asking seriously, "Do you still want to cultivate your other spirit?"
Tang San remained silent, not answering, but he had already revealed his inclination.
"Little San, do you know why your father and I told you not to attach spirit rings to your second spirit?"
Tang San shook his head, revealing a confused expression.
"Let me ask you now, if you start attaching spirit rings to your second spirit now, how old would the rings you absorb be?" Grandmaster asked.
Tang San thought for a moment, and his pupils constricted.
At this moment, he seemed to realize the true terror of his Twin Spirits.
It wasn't just having an extra spirit, an extra trump card, or nine more spirit skills allowing for more comprehensive tactics.
But that his second spirit could be powerful enough to crush any other Spirit Master!
Seeing Tang San's reaction, Grandmaster understood he had grasped his meaning.
"Little San, your true peak period is in the late game. According to my plan, the best time to cultivate your second spirit is after you reach Spirit Sage. At that time, even if not all rings attached to your second spirit are above fifty thousand years, at least with all rings above thirty thousand years, I believe you will have the hope of rivaling a Titled Douluo at the Spirit Douluo stage."
"Yes, Teacher, I understand." Only then did Tang San realize he was a late bloomer.
Now, in the weak early stage, relying on a Blue Silver Grass to cultivate to this level, standing almost at the top among his peers, was already very powerful.
Seeing this, Grandmaster also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Compared to your spirit cultivation issue, I'm actually thinking about another point: that 'Tiny Auxiliary'." Grandmaster changed the subject.
Sure enough, recalling the details of the battle, Tang San discovered the differences in 'Tiny Auxiliary'.
Previously, with his red eyes and intense fighting, he hadn't noticed that a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master could display completely non-auxiliary abilities.
"Regardless of what spirit ring is attached to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit, the obtained spirit skill will be the same, even the buff percentage is the same. It's just that the higher the age of the obtained spirit ring, the less consumption for using the skill." Grandmaster said, "As far as I know, none of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's spirit skills use wind or fire attributes."
Wind and fire attributes?
Tang San actually hadn't seen clearly at the time.
"I've been observing Su Wen and her fighting for several days. That 'Tiny Auxiliary' has mastered abilities related to wind and fire elements, able to cast some ordinary fireball attacks and airflow acceleration, and has even developed flight capabilities."
Hiss...
Listening to Grandmaster, Tang San felt this 'Tiny Auxiliary' was a bit abnormal.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's auxiliary effect was already powerful. If she could also protect herself with these methods, her effect in battle would be incredibly heaven-defying.
An auxiliary who can give you various buffs with very high percentages and doesn't need protection is simply perfect.
Moreover, according to Grandmaster, she could even be counted as a combatant.
Tang San's expression changed slightly.
"Could it be that she also has Twin Spirits?"
Grandmaster shook his head. "Probably not. While using these two types of abilities, she always had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit released. There was no shadow of another spirit ring, nor any extra spirit rings revealed."
Grandmaster knew that even with Twin Spirits, one couldn't use two spirits simultaneously, and there was a delay when switching between spirits. So he directly ruled out the possibility of her having Twin Spirits.
"The abilities mastered by that 'Tiny Auxiliary' are too similar to Su Wen's," Grandmaster said.
Wind, fire.
Right!
Tang San finally realized the similarity.
"That's right. Su Wen's spirit is only a Book Spirit, yet he has mastered such powerful fire and wind attribute spirit skills..."
Su Wen didn't know the thoughts this battle brought to Tang San and Grandmaster.
At this moment, he was concerned about another matter.
"Grandpa Dugu should still be following. The battle just now had Xiao Wu and an External Spirit Bone..."
Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder if Dugu Bo is drooling right now.
Before returning to the lounge, Su Wen was stopped by Dugu Bo.
"Little Wen, come out for a moment."
Taking Su Wen to a separate room and shielding everything around with spirit power, Dugu Bo's face was solemn.
"Little Wen, do you know the two people who fought you just now?"
"Yes, Tang San and Xiao Wu were my classmates at the Nuoding Primary Spirit Master Academy," Su Wen replied.
"From enrolling at six until I picked up Grandpa Jack recently, they were studying at Nuoding Academy. Afterward, they seem to have come to Shrek Academy."
"Oh?" Dugu Bo's eyes flickered. "Did you see what those eight spider lances Tang San used at the end were?"
Dugu Bo didn't believe Su Wen couldn't see it.
"External Spirit Bone," Su Wen said calmly.
Dugu Bo looked at Su Wen and said word by word, "It's an incompletely fused External Spirit Bone!"
Su Wen was stunned, carefully considering Dugu Bo's words, and understood the other party's intention.
However, these were all within his expectations. What Dugu Bo said next was what truly surprised him.
