Chapter 18 Future Nemesis?
What is a martial spirit?
He had been pondering this question ever since he awakened his martial spirit, and later he studied it by buying books and reading them.
At first, he thought that he had awakened the Blue Silver Grass because of his frequent contact with it during that period.
After that, they didn't pursue the matter any further.
But now, this Blue Silver Grass can actually absorb energy on its own to cultivate, just like the external avatars described in some high fantasy worlds.
"Is it because of the cultivation technique? Or something else...?"
Xiao Yan stared at the Blue Silver Grass swaying slightly in his palm. "I remember that the magical beasts of the Dou Qi Continent seem to be able to cultivate human techniques, but those are after they transform into human form."
No, according to the Douluo Continent, a martial spirit is a part of a person, now…”
"I am Blue Silver Grass, and I am also Blue Silver Grass?"
The thought arose in his mind.
If that's the case, then... it makes sense. When he was cultivating, he felt that he had an additional entrance to absorb the energy of heaven and earth.
"Is this alright?"
"So far, it's good."
"After all, who would refuse nearly double the cultivation efficiency?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan glanced at the Blue Silver Grass a few more times before putting away his martial spirit, getting up, and stretching comfortably.
That's all he can see for now; there's no point in looking any further.
Moreover, such a pleasant cultivation experience is hard for anyone to resist. When cultivating, he felt as if he had transformed into a child who was gently enveloped and pampered by the energy of heaven and earth.
If he had nothing else to do, he even considered staying here to cultivate, but right now he had more important things to do.
Have a meal!
The best way to cultivate battle qi is to constantly temper the body. If you use techniques, you often need to first exhaust the battle qi in your body, and then absorb and restore it, and so on.
Each step in this process requires a lot of energy. Although he is still young, his appetite is equivalent to that of several adults.
If he were at his age, he would inevitably attract attention in the Dou Qi Continent, but now that he is in the Douluo Continent and in the Soul Hunting Forest, he has no need to worry about food.
Moreover, the flesh of soul beasts contains energy, making it much milder and more delicious than the flesh of magical beasts from the Dou Qi Continent.
"The only problem is my cooking skills."
Xiao Yan muttered something to himself, looked out at the forest outside the cave, and with a few leaps, his figure quickly disappeared into the shade of the trees.
After hunting down a spirit beast, its flesh and blood can be used as food for cultivation, and its fur and bones can be sold for money. This way, while replenishing energy, everything is used to its fullest potential without any waste.
On the other side, Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.
"It's been four months since I sent it out and there's still no news. It seems they've left this area."
Yu Xiaogang rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly.
Hearing this, Tang San, who was standing in front of him, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"You'd better watch out, mistress."
Yu Xiaogang's expression turned slightly solemn. "You have twin martial souls, and that child is very likely to have them too. If you two clash, whoever is exposed first will be at a greater disadvantage."
"I understand, teacher."
Tang San nodded. In a game of chess, the key to victory often lies in who can conceal their true intentions better.
"A perfect match? Why does it have to be a perfect match?"
Tang San raised his head and asked the question.
Yu Xiaogang's gaze grew increasingly deep. The Spirit Hall held a significant place in the hearts of most ordinary people. If no one had intercepted him at the time, the boy would have joined the Spirit Hall without any unexpected circumstances.
Given Tang San's connection with the Spirit Hall, the probability of him facing off against them is not low, and may even be quite high.
Furthermore, the fact that he couldn't find the boy even using the Elder's Decree suggests that the boy was most likely taken away by some important figure who didn't want to reveal their identity.
Moreover, their social status is not low.
However, now is not the time to instill this pressure in Tang San. Yu Xiaogang silently speculated in his heart, then patted Tang San's shoulder and smiled slightly.
"But don't worry, mistress, with me here, I'll never let you be weaker than anyone else."
"Yes, teacher."
Tang San still had some questions, but he agreed again.
……
Soul Hunter's Forest.
Xiao Yan was strolling through the forest when he suddenly stopped.
The next moment, they were spotted by a giant, colorful snake that snaked and clung to a tree like a slender vine.
With a slight sway of its tail, the stench of the snake was already overwhelming.
Just as it suddenly lunged down from the tree, Xiao Yan dodged to the side, slapping the ground with his hand as he leaped away, letting out a soft shout.
"Blue-silver entanglement!"
From the ground where he had just slapped his palm, a blue silver grass vine as thick as an arm burst forth and precisely bound the snake's body as it lunged through the air.
"I've been able to smell your bad breath for ages!"
Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, he quickly rolled to the side, each time his palm touched the ground, accompanied by the sound of new vines breaking through the soil!
The datura snake, which had been entangled by the blue silver grass, hissed and shuddered, breaking free of its restraints in less than a second.
But as soon as it broke free from this control, four new blue silver grass vines sprouted from the ground around it with a series of "poof poof poof poof" sounds, tightly binding it from four directions.
Although the vines were weak, they successfully created temporary obstruction in every direction.
The datura snake struggled fiercely, its hissing echoing through the forest.
"hiss--!"
But the next second!
A clearer sound rang out from behind him!
"Mountain-Splitting Slash!"
A solid white light streaked across the sky.
The datura snake suddenly stiffened from its seventh inch downwards, its hissing abruptly ceasing. Then, its body split in two, blood splattering everywhere. The snake convulsed violently on the ground, coiled for a moment, and finally collapsed limply.
Xiao Yan held the iron sword and slowly exhaled.
"I've made a breakthrough, and my control has become a little more stable, but for now, I'm just using quantity to make up for the lack of quality. It's not up to par, but it's the only control skill I have right now, so I'll just make do with it."
Once you're skilled enough to cast it instantly, it will still be somewhat useful.
Xiao Yan muttered to himself as he walked toward the datura snake.
A white soul ring had already appeared around him.
Soon, skewered snake meat was placed on the fire, roasted until the skin was golden brown and slightly charred, and the inside was juicy. One bite revealed a strange, fresh aroma of herbs and plants.
"That's the good thing about soul beasts, they marinate themselves."
He chewed on the chewy snake meat. Besides the overly tough texture, he also felt a slight numbing sensation on the tip of his tongue. However, after circulating his internal energy slightly, the discomfort disappeared.
"Is it poisonous? But for wood-type elements, the highest resistance is to poison."
Xiao Yan took another big bite of the snake meat in his hand. "If we add poison attributes to the martial soul, it would be a good choice to complement each other. But compared to something like the Calamity Poison Body, it's far inferior. I think we should forget about it."
"The first spirit ring cannot be wasted."
After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Yan tidied up the remaining snake bones, fangs, and venom sacs, and with a thought, returned to the Dou Qi Continent.
