ALL NOVEL Chapter 10: chapter 10 Meeting tang san for the first time
"I'm sorry Your Majesty I was rude just now!" Yu xiaogang cupped his hands in apology before retreating to his disciple's side and ready to protect him.
Indeed it was a serious taboo to investigate the martial spirit of other people's disciples since the knowledge of other's martial spirit was one of the greatest weapons in a fight and once an enemy understood the characteristics of one's martial spirit they could exploit its weaknesses which could be disastrous.
"Teacher what did you think of the attack i just made?" After yu xiaogang left, Jun Tianlin asked Chen Xin for his judgment on his soul skills.
Chen Xin nodded and smiled"It's very impressive That's certainly a soul skill worthy of a 600-year-old soul ring Its power rivals that of a full-strength strike from a regular Great Soul Master But I imagine that such immense power would drain all of your energy correct?"
Tianlin nodded "Yes that strike took nearly a third of my soul power However I can feel that if I condense the ice energy into the blade rather than releasing it all at once the consumption would be far less allowing me to sustain a longer fight" Jun Tianlin had nothing to hide from his teacher after all the more his teacher understood him the more accurate his guidance would be.
"That's about what I expected," Chen Xin said thoughtfully"In the future you'll need to focus on swordsmanship and Condensing your soul power on the sword will become your primary method of combat and the soul skill where you release all your energy at once should only be used as a finishing blow Do you understand?"
Chen Xin had already begun planning what swordsmanship to teach Jun Tianlin. The Demon-Suppressing Sword possessed incredible offensive power so learning defensive sword techniques would be a waste and He was already convinced that Jun Tianlin was perfectly suited for the Seven Kills Sword Technique, truly this child was a divine gift to him.
After their discussion they walked over to Tang San who was in the process of absorbing his spirit ring, Chen Xin looked at the Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's hand with surprise "Is this Blue Silver Grass?"
"This child appears to be around the same age as Jun Tianlin and yet he's already at level ten That means his innate soul power must be at least level nine possibly even full innate soul power and for something like Blue Silver Grass to possess such a high innate soul power... that's truly rare."
As previously mentioned the theoretical knowledge of the seven treasure glazed tile clan was on par with that of the yu xiaogang and it was common knowledge within the clan that the innate soul power directly corresponded to the quality of one's martial spirit and chen Xin was well aware of this.
However despite closely observing the Blue Silver Grass Chen Xin could find nothing special about it and He ruled out the possibility of a martial soul mutation.
"We'll need to consult with Fengzhi In theory since he's the true expert on matters like this," Chen Xin thought to himself.
Jun Tianlin also watched Tang San thinking about him silently, Before the Blue Silver Emperor's second awakening Tang San had appeared entirely ordinary with little to distinguish him from others, Jun Tianlin had a few thoughts about him and he could be a potential ally given that they shared the same conflict of interest.
Having read the original story, Jun Tianlin knew how ambitious the Spirit Hall was and it was only a matter of time before they would set their sights on the seven treasure glazed tile clan, Moreover Tang San was fated to come into conflict with the Spirit Hall due to his parents's connection and Xiao Wu's.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend," Jun Tianlin mused.
As for Tang San's character which seemed to possess a certain level of being a hypocrite Jun Tianlin didn't mind at all and he was similar in him for being a bit of a hypocrite, he only cared about those close to him and whether Spirit Hall was good or evil was irrelevant to him and what mattered was that as long as Spirit Hall dared to harm his loved ones they would be his enemy.
[TL:at least his honest that he is a hypocrite]
Jun Tianlin had never received any favor from Spirit Hall and his martial spirit was awakened by the seven treasure glazed tile clan and the village where his family lived was funded and built by the clan, His childhood was carefree and his parent's lives have a satisfied life and it's thanks to the clan.
Now that he had joined the seven treasure glazed tile clan then it was only natural that he would protect it in return another is since The clan would provide him with resources for his future training then He had no need for a single gold soul coin from Spirit Hall and his father had never received a gold soul coin from them either Jun Tianlin had no moral objections to Spirit Hall in the future
In the end the most important thing to Jun Tianlin was his family, He didn't care how the Douluo Continent developed and whether it unified or split, His only focus was on the present.It was both his flaw and his strength and he understood his own situation and had no intention of changing it.
Furthermore Jun Tianlin knew that the greatest opportunity on the Douluo Continent might require Tang San's help—the Ice and Fire yin yang well and although Jun Tianlin knew where it was, what he lacked is the expertise to properly identify and harvest the fairy herbs within as There are very specific way to pick, store, and use of the immortal herbs and a simple mistake could lead to failure or even disastrous results.
Of course Tang San was only a backup plan to Jun Tianlin, he had saw there was a chapter on medicinal refining in the Shushan Treasure Records but he hadn't been able to access it yet and He hoped that as his soul power increased he would be able to read more of the content but he wasn't sure how many levels it would take If it took until he reached level sixty or seventy then it might be too late.
Before that he decided it would be wise for him to gain small favors from Tang San and for instance when he had saved them earlier and he intentionally spared the life of the datura Snake.
And a moment later with a surge of soul power Tang San awoke "Teacher I succeeded!"
"What's the soul skill and how powerful is it?" Yu xiaogang asked eagerly as he had been waiting for this moment to prove his theory.
Tang San smiled and released the Blue Silver Grass, The tendrils transformed into vines that tightly wrapped around a nearby tree "Teacher look I can attack from up to fifty meters away."
"The soul skill is called bind and It's characteristic of a control-type soul master Its toughness is impressive and I'm guessing it also carries the toxins from the datura Snake right?" Yu xiaogang surmised.
Tang San nodded "Yes, but the poison isn't fatal and It only causes paralysis."
"That's enough The combination of the bind and paralysis is powerful, Unless your opponent has two more soul rings than you then they won't be able to break free from it Xiaosan you succeeded on proving my theory!" The Master was visibly excited.
"Really?" A voice interjected and Jun Tianlin summoned his demon sword and without using any soul power effortlessly sliced through the Blue Silver Grass's bind with a single strike.
"That's not true" Jun Tianlin remarked"No matter how tough and how toxic the datura Snake's toxin are Blue Silver Grass is still a plant martial spurit."
Tang San looked at his teacher in confusion. 'This is the Blue Silver Grass that you said would be impossible to break unless the opponent had two extra soul rings But this child just cut it like it was nothing Are you serious?'
"Ahem!" Yu Xiaogang cleared his throat awkwardly. "What I meant was that's generally the case unless you're up against someone with top-tier martial arts spirits."
After that yu xiaogang quickly bid farewell to Chen Xin and Jun Tianlin being always ready to put people in their place was a bit too much for him to handle at that moment.
Chen Xin nodded and said to Jun Tianlin "Let's go Xiaotian We'll head go back and I'll begin teaching you swordsmanship along the way."
