Looking at his disciple's despondent state, Yu Xiaogang was filled with anxiety.
He hurriedly ran over to support Tang San and defended, "Little San, don't listen to his nonsense. This... this was just an accident."
Dante put away his God-Slaying Spear and looked at the master and disciple who were still deceiving themselves, a flash of pity appearing in his eyes.
"Is it so hard to admit that others are excellent?"
"Is it so hard to admit that you're not good enough?"
"Tang San, your Blue Silver Grass foundation is too weak."
"Even if you have Innate Full Spirit Power, it doesn't change the fact that Blue Silver Grass is just Blue Silver Grass. Having followed Grandmaster for these past few months, you should understand that as well."
"If you had swapped your Blue Silver Grass for a top-tier Martial Soul like mine, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for my Spear Intent to break through your control."
After Dante finished speaking, he left with Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu kept watching Dante's expression, and seeing his smirk that he could barely suppress, she felt that Dante seemed to be a little bit black-bellied.
He was truly killing the heart; moreover, by saying those things, he probably wanted to see if Tang San would give up on cultivating Blue Silver Grass and switch to the Clear Sky Hammer instead, right?
So wicked!
Seeing that Dante and the other had indeed walked far away, Yu Xiaogang finally said, "Little San, listen closely. You possess twin Martial Souls, making you a peerless Genius in this world, second only to Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong."
"Right now, your Blue Silver Grass is indeed a bit weak, but once you cultivation to the level of a Spirit Saint or above, you can start adding spirit rings to your Clear Sky Hammer."
"Think about it. At that time, the first spirit ring of your Clear Sky Hammer will be a ten-thousand-year one. You must not entertain the thought of switching to the Clear Sky Hammer now; this is also your father's wish!"
Tang San was silent for a moment. He also knew the high stakes involved and nodded. "I understand, Teacher, but I won't admit defeat just like this."
"I want Dante to know that even if I only have Blue Silver Grass, I can still become an excellent control system Soul Master!"
Seeing that Tang San's Heart-Nature was so resilient, Yu Xiaogang nodded with relief. "It's good that you understand."
...During breakfast, Dante took the opportunity to write today's diary entry.
[I must not have checked the almanac before heading out this morning; I ran into Yu Xiaogang leading Tang San to block my door.]
[That Tang San thought I insulted Yu Xiaogang and insisted on challenging me, even saying that the loser must become a disciple.]
[The result... hehe.]
[One-shot with a spear. What else is there to say?]
[The funniest part is still Yu Xiaogang's theory that 'the control system counters the attack system.' It's simply the biggest lie in the world.]
[In the early stages, if Martial Soul qualities are equal, perhaps control system Soul Masters do have a tiny bit of an advantage.]
[But by the Mid-to-Late Stage, as the attack system Soul Masters' spirit rings increase and their self-buffing Martial Soul Abilities multiply, the control of control system Soul Masters starts to show its weakness.]
[In fact, you can tell from the configurations of the existing powerhouses on the continent that the attack system is the eternal meta!]
[Whether it's the several Priests of Spirit Hall, the Upper Three Sects' Sword Douluo, Tang Hao, and Yu Yuanzhen, or the High Priest of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi.]
[Which one of them isn't an attack system powerhouse with explosive attack power?]
[In this world, only power is the eternal truth!]
[Of course, there is one exception.]
[And that is the Mental Control System!]
[In this era that generally lacks Mental Power defense methods, mental system Soul Masters are indeed Heaven-Defying existences.]
[Unless the opponent has a cheat like the Purple Demon Eye, or a mental defense head Spirit Bone.]
[Otherwise, once under mental control, they are like lambs to the slaughter, without even a chance to resist.]
[And looking across the current continent, the mental system Soul Masters who can be called formidable are only two or three.]
[One is Spirit Hall's 'Holy Maiden,' Hu Liena.]
[Innate Rank 9 Soul Power, Charming Fox Martial Soul, Born with Natural Charm.]
[This girl is the trump card Bibi Dong secretly trained for the Soul Master Competition.]
[Reasonably speaking, with her Spirit King cultivation during the Soul Master Competition, her Mental Power was at least comparable to a Spirit Emperor.]
[If she activated her Charm alone, among the Shrek Seven Devils, besides Tang San and maybe Xiao Wu, all the rest would have had to surrender on the spot.]
Inside the chat group.
[Swear to protect the Pope: Hmph, at least you have some vision! Is my Holy Maiden's mental control something to be trifled with?]
[Bunny Who Loves Candied Fruits: Blehh, you fox vixen! My Mental Power is also very strong!]
The diary continued.
[Unfortunately, this girl had bad luck and ran into that cheater Tang San.]
[This guy has been cultivating the Purple Demon Eye since childhood, which specifically counters illusions and Charm.]
[Add to that the fact that he later consumed the Gazing Through Autumn Dew, causing his Mental Power to skyrocket.]
[Hu Liena's entire arsenal was countered to death, and in the end, she even lost to Tang San's disgusting Eight Spider Lances.]
[That's just fate!]
[Besides Hu Liena, there is one even stronger mental system Soul Master in this world.]
[And that is the Sea Woman Douluo, one of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island.]
[Her Martial Soul is the Sea Magic Flute, which can play music that makes the Soul sink into oblivion.]
[However, compared to her strength, I'm more interested in her race.]
[She belongs to the Mermaid tribe.]
[Upper body is human, lower body is a fish tail.]
[This is quite interesting.]
[Does this form count as a human? Or does it count as a Spirit Beast?]
[If she were killed... would she drop a spirit ring and a Spirit Bone?]
[Oh, speaking of which, Tang San is also a half-human, half-beast; he's the child born of Tang Hao and a Spirit Beast. So if Tang San dies, will he drop a spirit ring?]
[There is a species on the Douluo Continent called Wolftaken, which seems to be half-human, half-beast offspring of Storm Devil Wolves and human women. Compared to the Sea Woman Douluo and Tang San, Wolftaken are more inclined toward their beastly nature.]
[In the original work, Tang San and his group killed a Wolftaken leader, and it even dropped a Spirit Bone.]
[Doesn't this prove that as long as one has half Spirit Beast Bloodline, there's a possibility of dropping a spirit ring or Spirit Bone?!]
[Then, as a Tang San who possesses fifty percent pure Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, if he accidentally croaks one day...]
[Will there be a 'ding' sound and a spirit ring drops?]
[Or will a Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Bone drop?]
Sea God Island, Sea Girl City.
On a massive reef, the waves crashed against the shore.
A young girl with long aqua-blue hair, a peerlessly beautiful face, and a slender fish tail for her lower body was leisurely enjoying the sea breeze.
Suddenly, a black diary appeared out of thin air in her mind.
When she saw the description regarding 'dropping spirit rings,' her originally sweet smile instantly froze.
"???"
"What do you mean, would I drop a spirit ring?!"
The Sea Woman Douluo was so angry her little face puffed up, and her fish tail slapped the water hard, kicking up a large spray of waves.
"This human named Dante is so rude!"
"I am a subject of Lord Sea God! A noble Mermaid!"
"He actually dared to compare this Young Miss to disgusting things like Wolftaken!"
