Chapter 187: Is it really just ordinary Blue Silver Grass?

After the match with Shrek Academy ended, the only remaining formidable enemy for the Seven Treasures Team was the Thunder Academy team.

The tournament schedule was not even halfway through, and the match against Thunder Academy was scheduled for the final day of the Preliminary Tournament.

For now, everyone could relax a bit, and Wu Qi also had plenty of energy to deploy against Shi Nian.

Moreover, he didn't just want the soul bone on Shi Nian; he also wanted to obtain some treasures from Tang San!

……

Early the next morning, the Shrek Seven Devils woke up one after another.

Recalling Wu Qi's strength, the Shrek Seven Devils felt a sense of despair in their hearts.

It seemed that the opponent was an invincible existence; no matter how hard they tried, they would only meet with repeated crushing defeats.

Last time, the Seven Treasures Team had sent their full starting lineup, and although no one paid attention after the match, the match time definitely exceeded one minute.

Yet today, Wu Qi brought three substitutes and, even without Feng Xiaotian playing, eliminated them in less than thirty seconds.

The gap was growing wider, and even Tang San did not know how to bridge it.

Without his Hidden Weapon, was he truly incapable of fighting a match?

Choosing to cultivate the Blue Silver Grass martial soul seemed to be a wrong decision.

If he had cultivated the Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, or dual-cultivated both martial souls, would the match still have ended this way?

One had to know that in the face of the Seven Treasures Team's wind and fire cutting, Blue Silver Grass simply could not "survive," let alone cause trouble for the opponents.

If it had been the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, all these problems would inevitably have been solved easily, and he would not have fallen into such a passive state.

Tang San's gaze unconsciously drifted to his left hand, and doubt inevitably arose in his heart.

Could it be that his teacher and father's choice was wrong?

The limitations of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul were too great, to the point of being hindered at every turn.

Although the Shrek Seven Devils were gathered together, everyone's mood was low; one by one, they kept their heads down, having lost their usual vitality.

Yu Xiaogang, however, was actively persuading them, "Everyone, cheer up. In half an hour, we still have to play the match against the Wind-Fire Team."

Given the current situation, the Shrek Seven Devils had already lost confidence in the future, and as for the Wind-Fire Team, they were in no mood to face them.

Before long, Flender hurried over and announced, "Everyone, take a good rest for the day. I have already communicated with the organizers regarding the match against the Wind-Fire Team; you don't need to go out there anymore."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was furious, "Flender, who told you to forfeit? Without a main player like Feng Xiaotian, the Wind-Fire Team's strength has weakened significantly. The children have every chance to win; why forfeit!"

Flender, for once, did not explain.

In fact, given the current performance of the Shrek Seven Devils, how could they defeat the Wind-Fire Team?

If they were defeated on the field again, the blow to everyone would only be greater; it was better to forfeit and be done with it!

Flender left the lounge, and Yu Xiaogang chased after him, full of dissatisfaction, just in time to see Titan arriving.

Yu Xiaogang was a master at bullying those close to him, but when facing a powerful outsider, he didn't dare say a word, only offering a smile and silently stepping aside.

Titan glanced at him and pushed open the door to the lounge.

The Shrek Seven Devils raised their heads in unison; Tang San knew that the other party was likely there to find him.

He kept his head down, his eyes no longer holding their previous arrogance, and followed him out in a daze.

A lounge inside Shrek Academy.

Titan had heard the sequence of events from Tailong; he did not blame Tang San, but instead, like an elder, patted the other's shoulder and said in a kind voice, "Young Master, have you forgotten what this old servant said before?"

Tang San shook his head.

He had not forgotten; he had simply lost confidence in himself.

Titan continued, "Back in the day, the Clear Sky Sect was full of powerful experts. The Master's talent was indeed good, but within the entire sect, his strength was not outstanding."

"Because of his age, and because the Master was the grandson of Sect Master Tang Chen, he was challenged by many young experts within the sect."

"I vaguely remember that the Master was only sixteen years old at the time, and his strength had just barely broken through to Soul Ancestor, while his opponents were mostly High-level Soul Ancestors and Soul Kings."

"Without any surprise, the Master suffered countless crushing defeats back then; the Master also once doubted himself, thinking he wasn't working hard enough or that his talent wasn't enough."

"But looking back today, with the Master's strength, how many people in the Clear Sky Sect are his opponents? Those youths who challenged the Master when he was young are long since no longer his match."

"By the same token, in the Seven Treasures Team, Feng Xiaotian's age just happens to be within the tournament's eligibility limit. He is now twenty-four years old, ten years older than you, Young Master."

"Young Master, with your talent, could it be that you won't break through to Soul King in ten years?"

"Even if it's Wu Qi, his age is likely not small either. You only lost to age, not to talent."

"Moreover, the Master only broke through to Soul Ancestor at sixteen, and even the old Sect Master Tang Chen broke through to Soul Ancestor at fifteen. And you, Young Master, are only fourteen and are already a Soul Ancestor; it can be said that your talent is the most powerful in the history of the Clear Sky Sect."

After swallowing this bowl of "chicken soup," Tang San's mood improved significantly.

He was no longer silent and took the initiative to speak, "Senior Titan, but my Blue Silver Grass martial soul really cannot win the match."

"Blue Silver Grass is too fragile, and it fears both fire and ice. If only I could cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul..."

Titan waved his hand, not giving him a chance to continue, "Young Master, you have Twin Martial Souls. Such talent is absolutely a rare existence on the continent, but have you ever thought about why your Blue Silver Grass martial soul can coexist with the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul?"

Tang San had never thought about this, nor had he heard Yu Xiaogang mention it.

Titan did not know much about Spirit Master theory, but having lived for so long, he naturally had some insights that were different from ordinary people.

"Young Master, is your Blue Silver Grass martial soul really just ordinary Blue Silver Grass?"

"There are thousands upon thousands of people on the continent who possess the Blue Silver Grass martial soul; why are you the only one who could successfully cultivate it, while others cannot?"

Tang San did not speak.

Back then, Yu Xiaogang had said that with his knowledge, he could lead him to cultivate the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

Tang San had the Mysterious Heaven Skill circulating within his body; in his subsequent cultivation, he always used the Mysterious Heaven Skill to circulate his soul power, not relying entirely on his martial soul.

Sometimes, he could feel that it was very difficult to cultivate relying solely on Blue Silver Grass.

When he asked Yu Xiaogang, the other party only said it was a bottleneck period, and the situation would immediately change once he circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Now, Tang San also had quite a bit of knowledge, and he always felt that his Blue Silver Grass martial soul had chosen the wrong direction for cultivation.

Without thinking further, he remained pessimistic: "Senior Titan, but if I don't have the Clear Sky Hammer, I still cannot defeat the Seven Treasures Team. Even if my Blue Silver Grass is not ordinary, when facing the Seven Treasures Team, it will still be easily cut apart."

The cultivation of Twin Martial Souls is no laughing matter; how could Titan dare to make a decision for Tang Hao!

"Young Master, whether or not to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul is a matter you must discuss with Master."
