Blue Silver Grass Strategy

Now the entire Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy... no! The entire Wood Plant City, all knew that there was a child whose martial soul was "Blue Silver Grass". His innate soul power was only half level, but because of the "Blue Silver Grass"'s easy survival and ubiquitous characteristics, it was easy to create a "mimicry training ground" that belonged to the "Blue Silver Grass" to increase the speed of soul power training.

Over the past three years, Grand Duke Mufeng of the Shuimu Principality, Kelvin, the master of the Martial Soul Main Hall of the Muzhi City, and several marquises have spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to search throughout the principality for someone with the innate soul power qualification of the "Blue Silver Grass" martial soul.

This is on the surface, but secretly, people like Grand Duke Mufeng and Palace Master Kelvin have even extended their tentacles into some of the territories of the [Tiandou Empire]. Some earl-level beings who do not want to reveal their names are also looking for them intentionally or unintentionally. After finding them, whether they keep them for training or offer them to Grand Duke Mufeng or Palace Master Kelvin in exchange for some resources, it is a good deal.

However, three years later, in the entire [Shuimu Principality], various forces have found that there are more than 4,000 people with the "Blue Silver Grass" martial spirit, but there are only more than 80 people who possess innate soul power, with a probability of less than 2%!

Among these more than eighty people, there is not a single one whose innate soul power has reached level one. More than fifty are between twenty and fifty years old, a dozen are over fifty years old, eight are in their teens, and eleven are under ten years old.

In fact, the entire [Shuimu Principality] had already stopped paying much attention to the matter of finding someone whose martial soul was "Blue Silver Grass" and who possessed innate soul power more than a year ago.

From the beginning, we found a dozen or so target people under the age of 20. They practiced in the specially built "Blue Silver Grass-Mimicry Practice Ground". The verification result was that the practice speed was indeed increased, but the degree of increase for each person was not the same. Some had a larger increase, almost 10% faster, and some had a negligible increase, about only 1% or 2%.

No one's speed can reach that of the lucky guy Ling Yi, whose cultivation speed has more than doubled!

Some people once questioned that this boy named Ling Yi might have other secrets, otherwise why would the gap be so obvious?

At this time, Master Jin, one of the three great craftsmen of the Principality, stood up.

Master Jin described to Grand Duke Mufeng and other high-ranking officials of the Principality what is the understanding and wisdom that surpasses ordinary people. It is a kind of innate qualification that is beyond the qualification of martial spirit and belongs only to human beings!

Do not believe?

Master Jin said that he didn't really believe it at first.

One day three years ago, the fifth disciple Wang Meng brought Ling Yi to find him and said that Ling Yi had mastered the thirteen moves of the "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique" within one day.

Master Jin has lived for more than seventy years. What has he not seen and heard of?

Another thing is that Mr. Jin can still trust the character and personality of his fifth disciple, Wang Meng.

So, half believing and half doubting, the old man demonstrated to Ling Yi the thirty-six moves of the "Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique" that he had mastered on the spot.

The final result was very clear. Apart from the reasonable mistake that the force of the 25th hammer exceeded the control limit and the forging hammer flew out of his hand due to insufficient strength, Ling Yi fully demonstrated to Master Jin what a genius is!

Once you learn it, you'll be good at it!

In their subsequent interactions, Ling Yi demonstrated to Master Jin and his disciples the meaning of a series of words such as having a photographic memory, drawing inferences from one instance, and bringing forth something new from the old.

In addition to Master Jin, a group of teachers from the Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy also stood up to testify to the fact about Ling Yi's amazing wisdom.

During the three years, Ling Yi not only studied through the teachers' classroom instruction, but also read books in the library on the top floor of the teaching building to study on his own. He not only mastered all the information on the martial souls and soul beasts owned by the Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy, but also consulted with the teachers and discussed with them a more complete and systematic education plan, so that the students of all grades in the Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy over the past three years have mastered more and more solid knowledge in their studies!

These teachers in the college are arranged by various parties, and the forces behind them are intricately connected. In the eyes of various forces, the credibility of their words is naturally much higher.

At this point, the issue of the speed of cultivating the "Blue Silver Grass" martial spirit has almost come to an end.

At most, Grand Duke Mufeng or Palace Master Kelvin might continue to train the dozen or so tools they have already gathered in private, so that the investment made in the past three years would not be wasted.

In addition to the label of "lucky man", Ling Yi is also labeled as "wise" in the eyes of various forces in "Muzhi City".

Apart from that, no one paid much attention to this soul warrior.

Well, a relatively lucky, smart, and high-level blacksmith soul master who can forge fine weapons of the Hundred Forging Level.

Chapter 45: Appointment of Craftsmen

“Ding! Ding! Ding!!! Ding!!!…”

The sound of metal and iron exploded in the [Jingeng Blacksmith Shop] like a violent storm, attracting the attention of apprentices and masters in the shop.

When the last thunder that was about to break through the roof and soar into the sky fell, the lingering sound lingered for a long time, echoing in everyone's ears. At this time, a short and strong old man with white hair and beard stepped forward, came to the side of a forging table, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the black sword that was still emitting a scorching heat.

As the soul power surged, a silver-white gauntlet appeared that covered the elbow, covering the short and strong old man's right hand and arm, isolating him from the invasion of high temperature.

Then, the old man flicked his left hand fingers, and wrapped in a silver-gray soul power, he tapped the black sword in his right hand with his index finger.

"Ding--!"

The melodious sound made the people standing around subconsciously squint their eyes, with an intoxicated look on their faces.

Everyone here is either a senior blacksmith or someone who has been a mid-level blacksmith for many years. The ability to judge the quality of a piece of work is ingrained in their bones.

Just by listening to the sound, everyone knew that this was a good sword, a good sword that they could not forge!

Unlike the people around him who were squinting their eyes in ecstasy, the short and strong old man had a sharp gaze. His right hand was still wrapped in the silver-white gauntlet, holding the sword horizontally. Silver-gray soul power emerged in his left hand, protecting his fingers from the residual heat of the sword, and stroking the blade and the back of the sword inch by inch.

As the old man's hands moved, under the silver-grey soul light, everyone discovered that there were actually lines like cloud patterns on the black sword!

After five minutes, the short and strong old man carefully examined every inch of the dark sword, put down the sword which had cooled down a lot, and looked at the figure standing quietly in front of the forging table. His hair and beard were all white, but his ruddy face showed a happy expression. He laughed and said, "Good! Good! Good!——"

"Hahahaha——Great! The sound is like a jade chime, the texture is like clouds, and it's all natural. Xiaoyi, you're very good! Very good——!!! Hahahaha——!!!"

Facing the old man's praise, Ling Yi did not get complacent, but remained humble. With a warm smile on his face, he clasped his fists and bowed to the old man, saying in a gentle voice: "I'm glad I didn't disappoint the master—"

"You--"

Seeing Ling Yi's calmness, Old Master Jin was more satisfied. However, he shook his head and said, "He doesn't have the youthful vigor at all. He looks more like an old man than me, an old fellow with half of his body buried in the ground—"

After saying that, he said again: "Disappointed? How could it be possible to be disappointed?!"

"A five-hundred-forged sword!" Old Master Jin raised the dark sword in his hand, his eyes full of pride. "Even in Gengxin City, how many people can forge such a perfect five-hundred-forged sword at the age of ten?"

------

In the territory of the [Xingluo Empire], the [Haotian Sect] and the [Power Clan] are based.

Inside a blacksmith shop, the young patriarch of the [Power Clan], Titan, who is now in his thirties, is instructing a young man with a serious look on his face as he hammers a huge block of iron in front of him.

The young man held a hammer with a cylindrical head in his right hand, and his body was spinning and dancing. The huge hammer was flying in his hand, as if it had no weight. In a very short time, the huge iron block was deformed and shrunk by the hammering.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, when the iron block disappeared, it was replaced by a machete with a long handle and a wide blade.

The boy looked at the machete, nodded without comment, and raised his chin to gesture to the Titan next to him.

Titan stepped forward, covered his hands with soul power, picked up the knife, looked at it carefully, and said to the young man respectfully: "Young Master, the blade is dense and even, and the size ratio is excellent. With your talent, plus the advantages of the "Clear Sky Hammer", I think it won't take long for you to master the forging of weapons with more than 500 forgings!"

"Five hundred forgings?" The young man showed some dissatisfaction on his face after hearing what Tai Tan said: "Then how long will it take to reach the blacksmith's thousand forgings?"

“Young Master~” Titan’s tall body bent slightly, his tone still humble, and he said patiently: “You have only been in contact with forging for a little over two years, and you usually focus on cultivation, so you spend even less time on forging. There is no need to be so anxious…”

"Alright~" The young master waved his hand, interrupting Tai Tan's words, and said, "Let's do this for now. In a year at most, I will cultivate to level 40. When I become a Soul Sect, do you think I can reach the forging level of the Thousand Forging Level by then?"

“One year?!” Tai Tan’s eyes widened upon hearing this, and he said in surprise and joy: “Young Master, you are only fourteen years old now. In one year… this… this… a fifteen-year-old Soul Sect…”

------

On the other side of the continent, Titan was shocked by the talent of his young master.

In the capital of the Shuimu Principality, in Muzhi Castle, there is Jingeng Blacksmith Shop.

"Xiao Yi~" Old Master Jin Gang looked at Ling Yi in front of him with a look of satisfaction, and said with a smile: "I heard that your soul power has been upgraded to level ten?"

"Yes, Master~" Ling Yi nodded and responded with a smile.

"Okay!" Grandpa King Kong smiled happily, "Don't worry, Xiao Yi, I still have some face in this 'Muzhi City'. I will definitely find you a few strong enough helpers to hunt a soul beast that is over a hundred years old and has the right attributes for you——!"

"Thank you for your concern, Master~" Ling Yi first thanked him, then shook his head and said, "But it's not necessary, I have already arranged it..."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Mr. King Kong raised his eyebrows, looked at Ling Yi, and asked, "Have you arranged it? Are you planning to wait for the unified soul hunter from your academy?"

At this point, the old man frowned and said in a deep voice: "Listen to the master's advice, it is best not to pin the first soul ring on the unified hunting soul led by the academy teacher..."

"Logically speaking, with your smart brain and having been in your academy for three years, you should know this, right?

Almost all the unified soul hunting organized by the junior soul master academies, the soul rings obtained for the students are basically white soul rings less than 100 years old, and the benefits to the soul masters can be said to be pitifully small..."

"Those kids from ordinary families don't understand, but you shouldn't understand, right?"

As he spoke, a look of surprise emerged on old man King Kong's face. He looked up and down at Ling Yi, who had a smile on his face the entire time and looked calm and composed.

"Master, don't worry~" Facing the old man's confused look, Ling Yi shook his head and said, "My disciple's first spirit ring will definitely be one that is more than a hundred years old. Otherwise, with my innate spirit power of half a level, I'm afraid I will be trapped and die below the level of a great spirit master--"

"And only with the increase of soul rings that are more than a hundred years old, can disciples have some hope to foresee what the scenery of the great soul master level and above will be like -"

Why is it that even though they know that Ling Yi's cultivation speed is unreasonably fast, the various forces in "Muzhi City" still don't pay much attention to him?

the reason is simple.

One is the weakness of the "Blue Silver Grass" spirit itself. Among the thousands of spirits in Douluo Continent, it is at the bottom of the bottom, even inferior to garbage spirits like "Thousand-pound Ant" and "Hoe".

The second is that Ling Yi's innate soul power is only half level, and the future upper limit is almost locked. No matter how much he jumps, in their opinion, it is impossible for him to break through to the Soul Master level or above.

Just ask, if a guy who can't even reach the Soul Master level and has weak combat power is smart, what does it matter? Even if he has a strong forging talent, what does it matter?

At most, he is just another blacksmith. Master Jin is old, and this kid named Ling Yi can just take over his master's job and become one of the new "Three Great Craftsmen" of [Shuimu Principality]...

Chapter 46 The World's Big Web

After bidding farewell to Mr. Jin and several senior brothers at the blacksmith shop, Ling Yi strolled along the streets of "Muzhi City" as usual, heading towards the academy.

After returning to the Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy, Ling Yi responded to the friendly greetings one by one with a smile, accurately calling out each person's name and class, and chatting with them about their situation in the past few days.

From the main gate of the academy to dormitory 304 in building , the distance was only over meters. Ling Yi managed to spend half the time it took to get back from [Jin Geng Blacksmith Shop] to [Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy].

To be honest, if cultivation did not require a combination of work and rest, and the body and mind required a truly leisurely state to relax, Ling Yi actually did not want to waste his time on interpersonal relationships.

Just like in his previous life, unless they were particularly close brothers, Ling Yi would try to push away some social engagements. If he really couldn't, he would just go there to deal with them, hide in a corner to eat and drink, and watch those socialites leisurely discuss the past and present and talk about everything under the sun.

Compared to these, wouldn't it be more meaningful to find some young ladies and learn from them about the various professional knowledge they learned in school, enrich your memory and improve your knowledge?

In his previous life, whether through personal experience or through the Internet, Ling Yi, who was used to the world, clearly realized that many interactions in life were actually meaningless. It was difficult for people to learn anything or get any positive feedback from some friends who only cared about food and wine. When they really ran into trouble, only one out of a hundred of these people would lend a hand.

Of course, this is human nature, and Ling Yi does not despise it. After all, when these drinking buddies encounter problems and ask Ling Yi for help, Ling Yi will also weigh it. We are all ordinary people, and we have our own concerns behind us. We can't go all out to help an outsider. In an indifferent society, let alone between friends, even between brothers, parents and children, there are often no more selfless dedication without bottom line. Therefore, when seeing those sincere feelings appear, people will have so much admiration and yearning, telling themselves that there is beauty in the world.

In this life, in the Douluo Continent with extraordinary powers, in fact, if one's own talent is high enough, let alone innate full soul power or twin martial souls, even if it is innate level five soul power, Ling Yi will not socialize too much with other people. At most, he will greet them with a smile and maintain a good image, which is enough.

There is a saying that goes, when you are good and strong enough, you will be surrounded by good people.

If Ling Yi had an innate fifth-level soul power and was in the [Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy], he would be a favorite student in the eyes of his teachers and an excellent role model in the eyes of his classmates. He only needed to show a humble attitude to the outside world and not be overbearing when dealing with others, then his interpersonal relationships would still be very good and he would be highly evaluated by the outside world.

But unfortunately, Ling Yi is just a country boy with half-level innate soul power and a truly useless martial soul "Blue Silver Grass".

Those geniuses can get positive feedback just by doing nothing, but Ling Yi needs to strive for and maintain it with all his might in order to get it.

Maybe in the eyes of many talented people, strength is respected in Douluo Continent, and interpersonal relationships are all false and useless. Only strength is real and reliable.

This is true, but it does not apply to the lower-level people.

Uniting all forces that can be united is the best choice for those whose individual strength cannot influence the whole.

Humans are social creatures.

Even Titled Douluo live in this real world. They have parents and families who gave birth to and raised them, and friends and comrades who accompany them throughout their growth. Finally, they also have children and grandchildren to worry about.

Living in this world, unless you cut off all worldly ties, there will always be a few people who can move your heart.

Just like Dugu Bo, Qian Daoliu and others in the original timeline, they are all typical examples.

As arrogant as Dugu Bo is, he is just an ordinary old man when facing his granddaughter Dugu Yan.

Qian Daoliu, who had been in seclusion for decades, came out of seclusion in anger after his son Qian Xunji's death. He hunted down Tang Hao all over the continent to vent his anger. However, due to his granddaughter Qian Renxue, he could not bring himself to kill Bibi Dong, who killed Qian Xunji with her own hands.

As for the evil things Qianxunji did to Bibidong, does Qian Daoliu feel guilty?

Maybe, but when Qianxunji died and Qian Daoliu was furious, would he have considered this?

In the original timeline, among the three Ultimate Douluo, Qian Daoliu is concerned about Qian Renxue and the [Spirit Hall], Tang Chen is concerned about Poseidon and the [Haotian Sect], and Poseidon is concerned about Tang Chen and the Poseidon inheritance of the [Poseidon Island].

Most of the world is a sea of ​​suffering. People in this sea of ​​suffering will be entangled in a myriad of webs. Those who are strong can relax a little, but those who are weak can only endure the pain of being bound and find it difficult to breathe.

Ling Yi, knowing that he is weak, can only turn passivity into initiative and take the initiative to contact these strands of lines. Through his own methods, he weaves these originally disordered lines into an orderly net that can cover and protect himself.

Most of the teachers and classmates in the college may not be able to provide any substantial help in the future, but they are also individuals living in this big network of the world. Through these individuals, the excellent image that Ling Yi has painstakingly built can be further spread outward.

Ling Yi, who had been baptized by a vast amount of information in his previous life, knew that when one was weak, it was very beneficial to have a good reputation and image.

……

Dormitory 304, Ling Yi pushed the door and walked in.

"Brother Yi——"

"Brother Yi is back——"...

In the dormitory, classmates and roommates who were sitting cross-legged on their beds, meditating and cultivating their soul power, opened their eyes and saw Ling Yi, and immediately greeted him one by one.

Ling Yi waved his hand and said, "You guys continue to practice, I'll come back to pack up and leave--"
