Soul Land: Exposing Tang San

Chapter 8: The Development Path of Blue Silver Emperor

After Ah Yin confessed the existence of the system to Su Yun, she began guiding him in his cultivation on the same day.

"Little Su Yun, since you want to learn about the Blue Silver Emperor, I'll ask you."

"Do you know what your Blue Silver Emperor martial soul represents?"

In the bedroom, Ah Yin's illusory light blue figure sat on the edge of the bed. Su Yun was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a straight back.

As someone who had read the original work, Su Yun naturally knew the significance of the Blue Silver Emperor.

The Blue Silver Emperor. The emperor among the Blue Silver Grass.

Ordinary Blue Silver Grass, to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor, unless it had the bloodline of the previous Blue Silver Emperor like Tang San, supporting its direct evolution.

Otherwise, like the Blue Silver King, it would require a full hundred thousand years of cultivation.

And even then, it had to wait for the previous Blue Silver Emperor to die before it had the chance to become the Blue Silver Emperor.

However, although Su Yun knew quite a bit about the Blue Silver Emperor, he also understood that compared to Ah Yin, the true Blue Silver Emperor, he was still far behind.

So, he shook his head slightly, indicating his 'lack of understanding.'

Ah Yin smiled faintly.

At Su Yun's age, his understanding of his own martial soul was insufficient.

This was quite common.

Otherwise, why would she need to guide him?

"Next, let me explain the difference between Blue Silver Grass and the Blue Silver Emperor for you."

"Listen carefully."

"As everyone knows."

"Whether in the human society's soul master system or the strength system in the soul beast society."

"The status of our Blue Silver Grass can be said to be the lowest."

"Because Blue Silver Grass itself is weak, with thin soul power and almost no ability to actively attack. Moreover, cultivating soul power is extremely difficult."

"Being eaten by some soul beasts as food is also commonplace."

"And soul masters with the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, most of their innate soul power is almost all below the first level."

"This also means that these soul masters find it difficult to make progress in soul power level cultivation, thus making it impossible to effectively develop the characteristics of Blue Silver Grass."

"But!"

"Your Blue Silver Grass is different."

Ah Yin pointed at the palm of Su Yun's left hand.

There was a small Blue Silver Grass with golden lines drawn on it.

If compared with ordinary Blue Silver Grass, the difference between the two would immediately become apparent.

"The Blue Silver Emperor is the emperor among the Blue Silver Grass."

"The gap in status between Blue Silver Grass and the Blue Silver Emperor is like that between the common citizens of two great empires and the emperors of those empires."

"The difference between the two can be described as a vast chasm."

"Almost impossible to cross."

"Sister Yin, does that mean my martial soul is superior to the martial soul of that fake Tang San?" Su Yun asked at the right moment.

"Of course."

Ah Yin's lips curled slightly, saying, "Although the fake Tang San has my bloodline in him, the martial soul he awakened is only slightly more advanced in quality than ordinary Blue Silver Grass."

"And rest assured, without my permission, his Blue Silver Grass will never truly evolve."

"If one day you have a battle with him at the same soul power level, just by releasing your martial soul and relying on the pressure of the Blue Silver Emperor, you can at least suppress that scoundrel's combat power by thirty percent!"

Hearing that he could suppress Tang San, Su Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands in joy.

Wasn't this exactly what he had been wanting to do?

To be able to dominate Tang San with just the quality of his martial soul.

Just thinking about that scene made him excited.

"All right, that's enough about the difference between Blue Silver Grass and the Blue Silver Emperor."

"Now, what I'm going to tell you is about the advantages of Blue Silver Grass."

Ah Yin's gentle voice began to carry a hint of seriousness.

Su Yun also focused attentively.

"While Blue Silver Grass, as a single organism, has weak vitality and no attacking power," Ah Yin explained, "it has a significant advantage—its sheer quantity."

"Whether in the forest or in human habitats, you can almost always find the presence of Blue Silver Grass."

"This indicates that Blue Silver Grass has strong adaptability."

"Tenacious, resilient, accommodating..."

"These qualities demonstrate the fundamental difference between Blue Silver Grass and other martial souls."

"Especially its inclusiveness."

"It's like a piece of clay on the ground. Using different techniques, different forces, and different amounts of water are enough to change the shape of the clay."

"In fact, most plant-type martial souls possess this trait."

"But Blue Silver Grass takes it to the extreme because it starts with nothing. This means it can absorb almost everything from the outside."

"For ordinary Blue Silver Grass martial souls, give them any soul ring, and they will transform accordingly."

"But you, little Su Yun."

Ah Yin's voice raised slightly.

She gazed at Su Yun thoughtfully and said, "The martial soul you currently possess is the ultimate form of Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver Emperor."

"The most powerful aspect of the Blue Silver Emperor is its ability to maximize the life force of Blue Silver Grass itself."

"Among all martial souls or soul beasts, if the Blue Silver Emperor is considered second, the first position will remain unchallenged forever."

"So, now that you understand, how do you think you should evolve the Blue Silver Emperor in your hands?"

Ah Yin blinked her eyes, looking gently at Su Yun's face.

After listening to Ah Yin's explanation, Su Yun immediately understood.

Blue Silver Grass, as the martial soul that evolves the easiest, can be said to evolve into whatever type of martial soul absorbs its soul rings.

For example, in the original work, when Tang San absorbed the soul ring of the Man-faced Demon Spider, the nature of Blue Silver Grass immediately changed from grass to vines.

Did it gain flexibility?

Yes, it did.

But it also gained the poison attribute.

As a martial soul with extremely strong vitality, Blue Silver Grass doesn't need this poison attribute.

In fact, instead of this toxin, it would be better to add some strength attribute.

After all, Blue Silver Grass itself does not have the poison attribute.

Moreover, as Blue Silver Grass evolves with soul power, the transformation from grass to vines is only a matter of time.

Take, for example, the Blue Silver King, the Blue Silver Grass that guided Tang San's martial soul's second evolution.

After years of cultivation, it already had the ability to transform into vines.

It can be said that Tang San's first soul skill, Tangling, was quite useless.

It was a waste of a soul ring to use a capability that would inevitably come in the future.

Therefore, Su Yun felt that Tang San's strong belief in the Master's theory was not only because he was misled by the Master's theory but also because of his original identity as a member of the Tang Sect.

He was very familiar with poisons, his old profession.

Hence, he accepted Master's advice.

But this also wasted his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.

In Su Yun's view, since the Blue Silver Emperor has such powerful life force abilities and can control all the Blue Silver Grass on the Douluo Continent, then his Blue Silver Emperor must develop its life attributes!

This is undoubtedly the right choice!
