46 Chapter 10 First Soul Ring Skill (3)_1

```

After acquiring a Soul Ring, the skills of a Martial Soul must undergo a process of mutation before they materialize, and the skills produced by different Martial Souls with the same Soul Ring are absolutely different, and vice versa. Even when the years of the Soul Rings differ, the skills vary greatly.

Therefore, although Master has conducted quite in-depth research on Martial Souls, he still couldn't be certain what effect Tang San's first Soul Ring would have.

Tang San said, "Teacher, these past few days I've experimented with some weak ten-year soul beasts. What you said was correct, the Blue Silver Grass indeed inherited some of the Datura snake's toxicity, but not the fatally toxic attack potency. Instead, it's the paralytic effect from within the Datura snake's poison. It only works upon direct contact, and while the toxicity is not very strong, the restrictive effect is quite pronounced. And the skill of the Blue Silver Grass is coiling. Using Soul Power to control, it coils around the enemy's body, rendering them unable to move."

While speaking, Tang San controlled the Blue Silver Grass he released to demonstrate the skill.

Mere glimpses of over ten deep blue grass blades suddenly burst from the clump, coiling around a thick tree trunk at a remarkable speed. The grass leaves shot out in a spiraling fashion, covering an area of ten square meters. Anyone within this range would have no possibility of evasion.

In an instant, the numerous Blue Silver Grass tendrils had tightly bound the large tree.

Master's eyes showed a flicker of contemplation, "Indeed, the characteristics of a control-class Soul Master. If there were a powerful attacker to coordinate with you, the effectiveness of your Martial Soul could be even more pronounced. A control-class Soul Master is all about controlling the opponent's movement, restricting the enemy as much as possible, and the function of this coiling skill lies exactly in that. It also has an added paralytic effect, unless the enemy's existence surpasses yours by two Soul Rings, it would be impossible for them to break free from this coiling skill. Xiaosan, we've succeeded."

Once the topic of Martial Souls came up, Master didn't look like someone who had suffered a serious injury at all. His eyes gleamed with vigor and his tone was indescribable with excitement.

The most distinctive feature of the Blue Silver Grass's coiling skill is its suddenness. Tang San had tried, within a fifty-meter range, he could control the Blue Silver Grass to launch an attack from any position. It was impossible to guard against. Especially in a forest filled with plants, the Blue Silver Grass had even better cover.

Tang San then cooked another pot of meat soup and finely chopped the cooked dried meat to feed Master.

With food in his stomach, Master's recovery pace quickened, but they had to prepare for departure from the Soul Hunting Forest, as the food and water they had brought on this trip had been exhausted over these days.

This was still the case despite Tang San's utmost conservation efforts.

Master had not yet regained the ability to move, so Tang San carried him out of the Soul Hunting Forest on his back. Due to the substantial difference in their statures, Master's legs dangled to the ground during the journey. Relying on his exceptional strength and Inner Strength, and following Master's directions, Tang San carried Master step by step out of the Soul Hunting Forest and took a horse-drawn carriage back to Notting Primary Soul Master Academy.

All along the way, whether when caring for Master or during the process of carrying him out of the forest, Master never uttered a word of thanks, but the way he looked at Tang San seemed to be not just as a disciple fulfilling his dreams, but with more of the kind of emotion that should appear in Tang Hao's eyes.

"Once a teacher, always a father." These simple eight words were branded even more deeply into Master's heart.

After several days of rest and Tang San's meticulous care, by the time they returned to the academy, Master could walk with difficulty with Tang San's support, although according to Tang San's estimation, Master's vitality had been severely damaged by the poison injury. To completely recover, it would take at least a month's time.

Master was only a guest elder at the Notting Primary Soul Master Academy, with a good relationship with the dean but without any relatives. In the coming period, it was natural for Tang San to take responsibility for caring for his own teacher, something he had already planned for. He had even considered all the details of how to take care of Master every day on the road.

It was the time of morning when students had classes, and everything in Notting Academy was very quiet. Tang San supported Master back to his room and let him lie down on the bed.

"We're finally back, Teacher. You can get a good rest now. You must take good care of your health during this time, and please don't overexert yourself. If there's anything you need, just order me," Tang San said.

Master nodded silently and said, "I didn't expect to escape death this time. My recovery is not a concern, but you cannot interrupt your cultivation. Also, there's something you must do. Xiaosan, get the second book from the left on the third shelf from the left for me."

"Alright," Tang San complied with Master's instruction and picked up a solid-looking book. What surprised him was the absence of a title on the book.

Master did not take the book from his hand, saying, "This book contains some of my research on cultivating soul power. Although soul power is cultivated by meditating and circulating one's own soul power, there are many techniques involved. What kind of circulation path facilitates strength improvement, what kind of Martial Soul is best suited for cultivation in what environment—it's all detailed here. I can't personally guide you during this time, but you must not slack off."

"Yes," Tang San answered respectfully. Although he had not yet opened the book to read, his heart was already filled with an indescribable sense of awe.

After this breakthrough with the Soul Ring, he had a comprehensive understanding of the Martial Soul. According to his understanding, this so-called soul power is actually a form of Inner Strength, it's just that most people's methods of cultivating it are simply to circulate it without any pattern.
