Amidst screams of agony, Tang San exerted considerable effort to help Yu Xiaogang onto the bed.
Yu Xiaogang lay face down, and Tang San carefully removed Yu Xiaogang's pants, which were still bleeding.
Suddenly, a foul stench hit my nose.
Tang San instantly put on the mask of pain. Good heavens, how long has it been since he took a bath?
"Teacher, please bear with it. There's still a bit of wood stuck in the wound. I'll pull it out for you," Tang San said.
Yu Xiaogang: "Okay, go ahead and pull it out."
After saying that, Yu Xiaogang silently bit his pillow to avoid crying out in pain later, after all, he was a man.
That's what he thought, but when Tang San actually made his move, Yu Xiaogang's reaction was less than satisfactory.
"Hmph...hmph...ouch...little mistress, be gentle...it hurts..."
Tang San: "..."
The Tang Clan is renowned for its poisons. Since ancient times, medicine and poison have been inseparable, and Tang San naturally possessed some knowledge of pharmacology. Treating Yu Xiaogang's minor superficial injury was a piece of cake for him. He quickly got it over with.
"Teacher, I've bandaged your wound. Just be careful not to let it get wet for the next couple of days."
As Tang San said this, he had already distanced himself from Yu Xiaogang, mainly because that pungent smell was just too damn overpowering.
Yu Xiaogang hummed in agreement and said, "Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and classes will officially begin the day after tomorrow. However, this is just a delay for you. The most important thing now is to ensure that your martial spirit can continue its cultivation."
"Alright, you'll leave the academy with me first thing tomorrow morning. I'll take you to find a suitable spirit ring so you can advance to the level of a spirit master."
Tang San was overjoyed upon hearing this. Only after obtaining the spirit ring could he be certain whether the Mysterious Heaven Skill was restricted because of the spirit ring. Yu Xiaogang's approach was exactly what he wanted.
"Teacher, you should get some rest. I'm going back now."
Stepping out of the room and breathing in the fresh air, Tang San felt as if he had come back to life.
The teacher smells terrible! How can she smell so bad? How long has it been since she showered or washed her underwear?
Just then, a crow flew overhead. It was an immoral crow because it defecated and urinated indiscriminately.
A clump of bird droppings fell, landing precisely on Tang San's head.
Fortunately, Tang San noticed in advance and quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the danger.
Even so, Tang San was still in a bad mood. What had happened to him these past two days? What was wrong with him?
First, the teacher was attacked by bird droppings, and then got caught in the crossfire. Just now, the teacher got poked in the butt by a broken chair leg, and now a crow is bringing him bird droppings...
What on earth is going on? Why are these strange things happening one after another?
Why does it feel like bad things keep happening after I meet a teacher?
Tang San racked his brains, but he just couldn't figure it out...
The next day, Lin Ye and the others went out together, including Xiao Wu.
"Hey, go buy me some carrots," Xiao Wu said matter-of-factly.
Lin Ye glanced at the vegetable vendor not far away and couldn't help but complain, "You really don't consider yourself an outsider! Go buy some yourself."
Xiao Wu: "I don't care, if you don't buy it for me, I won't eat, I'll starve to death so you won't have any spirit rings to use."
Lin Ye was speechless; he had just invited back an ancestor.
It's a bit ridiculous to threaten others with starvation at the drop of a hat.
Never mind, even death row inmates get a last meal before execution.
Xiao Wu's little request is nothing, let's grant it.
A moment later, Xiao Wu hugged a carrot and nibbled on it, a satisfied smile on her face.
After walking for a while, realizing it wasn't the way back, they couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"
"The Soul Hunting Forest," Lin Ye replied, a slight smile on his face, looking quite pleased with himself.
……
Meanwhile, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, master and disciple, met up early in the morning and then left Notting Academy.
Tang San was undoubtedly excited. He would soon become a true Soul Master, and his Xuan Tian Gong would probably be able to break through. What kind of Soul Skill would he have?
Just as he was lost in thought, he noticed that Yu Xiaogang was not in a hurry to leave the city, but was instead leading him into the city.
"Teacher, aren't we supposed to be leaving the city?"
Yu Xiaogang said, "We need to prepare some things before we go hunting soul beasts. Besides, we can't go on foot. Although four hundred miles is not a long distance, it's always good to hurry."
The two arrived at the market, and Yu Xiao began shopping. He first bought two water sacks, then cured meat, flatbread, and fruit, filling two large bags.
These were all normal, but what happened next puzzled Tang San.
Yu Xiaogang bought a full twenty kilograms of white radishes.
Tang San held the white radishes, looking completely bewildered.
"Teacher, do you...like eating white radishes that much?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened visibly. "I won't eat it, but it'll be useful, you'll find out later anyway."
Having said that, he strode forward with incredible speed.
With that, all the items were purchased. Yu Xiaogang spent five silver soul coins to hire a carriage for transportation.
And so, the carriage left the city at a leisurely pace, heading towards the Soul Hunter Forest.
Along the way, Yu Xiaogang didn't forget to teach Tang San about Soul Masters.
"Martial spirits can be broadly divided into two categories: beast martial spirits and weapon martial spirits. Plant-type martial spirits also fall under the category of weapon martial spirits, like your two martial spirits, which are both weapon martial spirits."
The biggest difference between beast spirits and weapon spirits lies in their form of expression.
When using a Beast Martial Soul, its power is added to the Soul Master's own body, a process known as possession. This achieves the goal of combining the Martial Soul and the human body to launch an attack.
Weapon spirits are different; they function outside the body. Your spirit is a weapon spirit, which you should find easy to understand.
Next, we'll discuss the development direction of your Martial Soul. Think about it carefully, and then we'll find the corresponding Soul Rings for you according to that direction.
"Teacher, what does this development direction refer to?" Tang San's interest was piqued when it came to his own questions.
Yu Xiaogang said, "Every Soul Master has a development direction, such as combat, food, healing, control, and so on."
Now we need to decide your future development direction. The cultivation of your martial spirit must be developed in one direction.
Once you've decided on your development path, when acquiring spirit rings in the future, try to find spirit rings with similar abilities.
They don't have to be completely identical, but the general direction cannot be deviated from. Otherwise, there may be conflicts between their own spirit rings, which would restrict their own abilities.
At this point, Yu Xiaogang sneered: "Most people in the world are fools. They think Blue Silver Grass is a useless martial soul, but they don't know that there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters."
Tang San's eyes lit up upon hearing this, as if he had heard a profound truth. His teacher was indeed very knowledgeable, and had unique insights into the theory of martial spirits.
