Douluo: Master Yao Chen

Chapter 35: Spirit Training
After breakfast, Tang Yin found a secluded place to start a day of practice.

The mountain behind the academy is shaded by green trees and has dense shrubs. Few students set foot here, so it can barely be considered a place for cultivation.

Ever since Tang Yin's soul power soared and broke through level thirteen in one fell swoop, Yao Chen no longer allowed him to practice to improve his soul power. Instead, he trained him every day to control his soul power and use his martial soul.

After making sure that there was no one around and the surrounding environment was quiet, it was indeed a good place to practice. Tang Yin's mind moved, and the soul power in his body turned into flowing into his right hand. Blue silver grass with thick roots and leaves swarmed out from his white and tender palm, and in a flash it fell to the ground, took root, and turned into a half-human-high blue silver grass that emitted a bright blue light, and gently shook its leaves around Tang Yin.

At the same time, a pale yellow century-old soul ring rose from under Tang Yin's feet and shone brightly around his waist.

Releasing martial souls requires the consumption of soul power. Tang Yin's first soul skill, Blue Silver Growth, perfectly solves the problem of the consumption of his own soul power. He can absorb nutrients from the earth anytime and anywhere to generate soul power to feed back and heal himself, which greatly increases the training time. As a result, after this period of hard training, he has made some achievements in controlling his own martial soul.

As soon as he thought about it, the blue silver grass growing in clusters around him quickly entangled with each other and grew upwards at an astonishing speed, becoming longer, thicker, and harder, and finally turned into two ten-meter-long blue silver vine whips as thick as an adult's thigh, which were formed by the entanglement of numerous blue silver grasses.

This is Tang Yin’s little masterpiece that he has recently cultivated.

Control the growth of the martial soul and change its form in the simplest way to increase its power and make up for the weaknesses of the martial soul.

The leaves of the blue silver grass are indeed fragile, but if one hundred, one thousand, or even ten thousand blue silver grasses are entangled with each other, will they still be fragile and weak?
Tang Yin could clearly feel that the consumption of his own soul power by releasing the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was almost negligible. He simply infused his soul power and allowed the Blue Silver Grass to grow more than ten meters. Only then would he feel some consumption of his soul power.

However, after he released his first soul skill, he no longer had the chance to feel these consumptions, because soul power was continuously entering his body, making him feel that the soul power in his body was extremely abundant, and he couldn't wait to consume and release it.

The next step is to control the two rattan whips in front of him. According to the teacher's requirements, when he can control these two vines as easily as with his arms, he can continue to make more rattan whips.

Just think about it, when facing the enemy, he can just wave his hand and whip shadows will fill the sky. What a spectacular scene that would be. However, it would also test his mental strength and multitasking skills.

First, practice your whipping skills!
The target Tang Yin chose was a huge rock in the back mountain. He used the whip to whip continuously. Because the martial soul was another form of life, the whip would be damaged while whipping the rock. Although he recovered quickly with the help of the first soul skill, Tang Yin still felt pain and discomfort when the whip touched the rock.

However, the pain is not useless. With each whip, Tang Yin will have some new insights into the force, angle and attack speed of the whip, and his proficiency continues to increase.

Then comes the binding and strangulation, using the blue silver vine whip that is shaped like a giant python to tie up the enemy, restrain their movements, and continuously tighten them.

The next step is displacement, constantly changing position with the help of the swing of the whip.

Cultivation is hard and boring, but once you calm down, time will pass quickly.

Before I knew it, it was noon.

Sensing the change of time, Tang Yin stopped what he was doing and took back the soul power he had infused into the blue silver grass. The two thick blue silver vine whips were instantly beaten back to their original shape. The other blue silver grasses also turned into blue light and dissipated, falling into the soil, becoming nutrients to nourish the earth.

On the other side, Old Jack was bringing Tang San leisurely towards the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

But compared to Old Jack's face that could hardly hide his excitement, Tang San's face was indeed indifferent, and occasionally revealed some reluctance and worry.

This look naturally did not escape the attention of Old Jack. He smiled kindly and touched Tang San's head, "What's wrong? Can't bear to leave your father?"

Hearing this, Tang San nodded, "I'm worried that if I'm not at home, no one will cook for him."

Two months ago, there was a soul beast disturbance in the Holy Soul Village. Tang Hao had not returned for a long time, so when he was thinking about going out to look for him,
Tang Hao returned home in a mess, and then said nothing. He just drank every day and became even more decadent than before. He no longer forged farm tools and often stayed drunk for a whole day and night.

If he hadn't woken him up to eat on time every day, Tang Hao would have died of drunkenness in his bed. However, occasionally when Tang Hao sobered up from his drunkenness, his pair of bloodshot eyes looking at him would always make him feel a little cold.

So he was a little interested in this so-called Soul Master Academy, but seeing Tang Hao like this, he completely gave up the idea and just wanted to take care of Tang Hao at home. After all, he had the Mysterious Heavenly Art in his hand, and sooner or later he would find a way to break through the first level of the Mysterious Heavenly Art. But for some reason, Tang Hao, who had been depressed, suddenly woke up and told him to go to the Soul Master Academy to study in a very tough manner, otherwise he would sever the father-son relationship with him.

Tang Hao is the only relative Tang San has in his two lifetimes. Faced with such a threat, Tang San naturally dared not disobey.

"Good boy!"

Seeing Tang San being so filial, Old Jack smiled, "Like Tang Yin, you are all good filial children. I don't know what kind of shit luck that drunkard Tang Hao had to give birth to such an obedient and sensible son like you."

Hearing Old Jack calling Tang Hao a drunkard, Tang San subconsciously wanted to speak out in rebuttal. Although what Old Jack said was true, if the father is not kind, the son should not be unfilial.

But he didn't say the rebuttal in the end. Tang San took into consideration that Old Jack had often sent him food over the years, so he endured it for the sake of this kindness.

It seems that I must repay this favor as soon as possible in the future, otherwise I will be controlled by others and be passive.

Tang San began to plot in his mind.

However, Old Jack knew nothing about these, and continued to tell Tang San about the bright future, trying to enlighten him, "Don't think too much, the world outside is very broad, you are still young, and you are born with full soul power, your future is destined not to be limited to this small Holy Soul Village, so you must look forward."

"In school, there will be many students of the same age as you. You can learn knowledge together and make many friends."

"Once you obtain a spirit ring and become a spirit master, you will be able to obtain the title awarded to you by the Spirit Hall. By then, you will be able to receive a subsidy of one gold coin every month, which is enough for a family of three to live on for several months!"

"And Tang Yin is also in school. You two grew up together and live in the same village. You must support each other in school and don't let others bully you. Of course, you can't bully others casually. You must get along well with your classmates. Do you understand?"

Old Jack gave earnest advice and persuasion.

He knew a little about Tang San's situation in the Holy Spirit Village. The child was rather solitary and didn't have many friends in the village. But this was actually normal. After all, the child was only six years old and had to take care of his alcoholic father, so he really had no time to play.

But it was different after entering the Soul Master Academy. He was afraid that Tang San would suffer because of his personality, so he let him play with Tang Yin to avoid being excluded.

Tang San knew that Old Jack cared about him, but he had lived two lives after all, and his mind was filled with the thinking of an adult. He consciously understood the hidden meaning behind Old Jack's words.

Being together with Tang Yin and supporting each other simply means that he will take care of Tang Yin more!

After all, he had full innate soul power, while Tang Yin's innate soul power was only half level. When he awakened that day, he heard Su Yuntao say that this was the worst existence.

But this is not a big deal. He can just give him some protection in school as a way of repaying old Jack's kindness.

Although, he has never liked Tang Yin.

As a person who has lived two lives, it stands to reason that Tang San, as an adult, would never have any ill will towards a child. At most, he would just ignore the child.

After all, this is basically how he treats those children in the village who despise the poor and love the rich.

But Tang Yin was different. Whenever Tang San saw him, he would always feel some hostility, as if something had been stolen from him by him.

Tang San believed in this intuition without a doubt, because it was the most accurate sixth sense of a Tang Sect disciple.
