Chapter 636 Switching to Martial Soul Cultivation: A Dead End
Tang Hao neither confirmed nor denied this, or rather, he was undecided.
Tang Hao didn't know how to cultivate twin martial souls. He only knew how to swing a hammer and forge iron, and he wasn't proficient in martial soul theory, so he couldn't teach Tang San.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have entrusted Tang San to Yu Xiaogang in the first place.
The reason he entrusted Tang San to Yu Xiaogang for instruction was precisely because he valued Yu Xiaogang's title as a master of martial soul theory, his significant achievements in martial soul theory research, and his ability to guide Tang San in the cultivation of twin martial souls.
At this moment, faced with Tang San's idea of abandoning the Blue Silver Grass and switching to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao dared not rashly agree, for fear of misleading Tang San and ruining his potential.
Through these observations, Tang Hao roughly understood Yu Xiaogang's intention in having Tang San repair the Blue Silver Grass first, and then the Clear Sky Hammer.
This kind of training seems to maximize the advantages and potential of Tang San's twin martial souls.
Imagine if Tang San could persist in cultivating the Blue Silver Grass to the end, reach the Title Douluo level, and then add a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer.
Therefore, the first spirit ring of the Clear Sky Hammer can be at least ten thousand years or even tens of thousands of years. If you are lucky enough, you can even dream of a spirit ring that lasts for a hundred thousand years.
By then, Tang San will at least possess a nine-ringed, all-black Clear Sky Hammer, with each spirit ring being over ten thousand years old.
If combined with the Haotian Sect's Haotian Ultimate Technique and the Great Sumeru Hammer's Ring-Exploding Mystery, its power would be terrifying beyond imagination.
With a character like Tang San, it would be difficult for him not to become one of the strongest warriors in the Douluo Continent.
In this way, Tang Hao's desire for revenge and to overthrow the Spirit Hall might be fulfilled.
This is the most perfect idea.
However, the conflict between the twin martial souls must be resolved first.
If the conflict between the twin martial souls cannot be resolved, then all of this will ultimately be nothing but a fantasy.
Tang Hao knew that while twin martial souls could grant soul masters unparalleled talent across the continent, they also had a fatal flaw.
That is, after twin martial souls are attached with spirit rings, their bodies are very likely unable to withstand the impact of the energy of the multi-attribute spirit rings, and they face the danger of exploding and dying.
Tang San's current idea of switching to repairing the Clear Sky Hammer is precisely because of this problem, and it can even be said to be extremely dangerous.
Although Tang San's current soul power level is not very high and the soul rings he has absorbed are relatively low-level, the conflict between the two martial souls should be able to withstand by Tang San's physique, but it is still extremely risky.
If one were to switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer and add a soul ring, one wrong move could lead to their body exploding and dying.
In any case, Tang Hao was not very willing to take the gamble.
While Tang Hao was still pondering the risks and pros and cons, Tang San, standing beside him, became anxious.
Seeing the changing expression on the former's face, as if he was about to refute him, Tang San couldn't help but speak up:
"Father, please say yes."
"I did not act recklessly, but rather it was the result of careful consideration."
"Cultivating Blue Silver Grass first and then Clear Sky Hammer will certainly maximize my potential, but Blue Silver Grass alone cannot provide me with enough strength."
As Tang San spoke, he turned to look at Xiao Wu, who was still unconsciously moaning on the bed, his eyes filled with sadness and pain:
"As you know, it is precisely because I am not strong enough that I have been defeated time and time again, and that Xiao Wu has been hurt time and time again."
"Just like when facing Huo Wu from Blazing Academy, with just a small fire attribute advantage from her, my Blue Silver Grass was completely useless, leaving me with no chance to use my skills. I could only watch helplessly as I was defeated and as Xiao Wu was hurt."
"I'm not reconciled."
At this point, Tang San turned to look at Tang Hao, his gaze gradually hardening:
"Father, I don't want to experience this feeling of weakness, helplessness, and pain at all."
"I need strength, the strength to take revenge, and the strength to protect Xiao Wu, but Blue Silver Grass cannot fulfill my wishes."
"Xiao Wu is the girl I love most. I once promised her that I would protect her for the rest of my life and never let her get hurt."
"But I have broken my promise time and time again, and all of this is because I am not strong enough."
"Therefore, I want to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer."
Tang San is essentially an extremely arrogant and conceited person. However, ever since he embarked on the path of a Soul Master and chose to cultivate Blue Silver Grass, his journey has not been smooth.
Even when she went to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt for her first Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring, she encountered danger and was besieged by a pack of lustful beasts, the Gale Wolves. Not only was she seriously injured, but she also almost lost her virginity.
They didn't get the Mandragora Serpent Soul Ring they were supposed to hunt, and in the end they could only absorb a inferior Guzhu Soul Ring, which they found by chance.
Later, when they arrived in Soto City, they were beaten up by Ye Qifeng at the Rose Hotel.
When he went to Shrek Academy to take the entrance exam, he was bullied by Zhao Wuji, who was older than him.
Later, when they arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, they were bullied by Ye Qifeng again, and Xiao Wu was even captured by the Titan Giant Ape, while he could only watch helplessly.
After returning to Soto City, he thought he could finally enjoy some good days. However, with the arrival of the Royal Fighting Team, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling crushed him once again.
Not long ago, he even encountered a Soul Saint-level being like Shi Nian who attacked him, trapping him in an illusion. He not only experienced the most brutal tortures of the Tang Sect, but also clearly saw Xiao Wu being humiliated by the lewd old man Bu Le.
The pain he endured was almost indescribable, and it even cast a deep shadow over his life.
His crushing defeat to Huo Wu from Blazing Academy a few days ago plunged his life into darkness, leaving him with nothing but gloom.
His repeated setbacks not only dealt a blow to himself, but also caused Xiao Wu to be hurt time and time again.
He was never able to protect Xiao Wu properly.
He needs power, the power to crush everything!
Tang San roared inwardly.
Without power or strength, he couldn't possibly fulfill his promise to Xiao Wu, let alone protect her from harm.
Listening to Tang San's words and seeing his determined eyes, Tang Hao couldn't help but be moved, and subconsciously recalled himself and Ah Yin.
Wasn't he the same back then? He was equally willing to risk his life for Ah Yin, but later...
The current Tang San is so similar to his former self. For Xiao Wu, he seems determined to forge ahead. Yes, that's good.
Tang Hao felt extremely gratified, but when he thought about one of his plans, he couldn't help but feel a little complicated and uneasy.
This subtle and complex feeling was well concealed by Tang Hao, and no one except himself noticed it.
When Tang Hao looked at Tang San, his expression returned to normal. He frowned slightly, his tone enigmatic:
"I'll ask you one more time, are you really sure you want to give up Blue Silver Grass and switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer?"
Tang San nodded resolutely:
"Yes, Father, I'm sure."
Tang Hao did not agree, but instead asked again in a low voice:
"Even if doing this damages the foundation, destroys potential, or even endangers one's life, would you not regret it?"
Tang San was stunned for a moment.
He only wanted to switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer to gain stronger power, so why did he have to risk his foundation, potential, and even his life?
He doesn't want to die.
In the world of Tang Sect, he had already died once. Now that he has finally been reborn with his memories intact, how could he die before he has even reached the pinnacle of his life?
At this moment, Tang San couldn't help but hesitate.
Tang Hao kept watching him, noticing the hesitation in Tang San's eyes. A slight glint appeared in Tang Hao's eyes, making them seem even more enigmatic.
"You should know that while twin martial souls are powerful, they also have flaws. If you cultivate two martial souls at the same time, it will cause big problems."
"The destruction of one's foundation and potential is a minor matter; it merely means the path to becoming a Soul Master is completely severed. At least one can still survive by clinging to life."
"But once you lose your life, then all is lost."
"Have you considered the consequences, and whether you can bear them?"
In fact, Tang Hao himself wasn't entirely sure whether having two martial souls together would really cause problems.
After all, he didn't have twin martial souls, and he had never met a twin martial soul master other than Tang San.
Much of the knowledge about twin martial souls is hearsay, and most of it comes from the martial soul theories of masters.
Whether it's true or not, we have no way of knowing.
Tang Hao's previous remarks were simply intended to explain the pros and cons to Tang San, hoping to discourage him from taking any risks.
Tang Hao's true intention was that Tang San should persist in cultivating the Blue Silver Grass to the end, and only add a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer after his cultivation reached the Title Douluo level.
After all, he really wanted to see just how terrifying the light was on the nine-ringed, all-black Haotian Hammer.
He had even planned that Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer would absorb at least 50,000-year-level spirit rings from the first spirit ring onwards, and then continue to accumulate them until the ninth spirit ring reached the 100,000-year level.
For example, Xiao Wu's 100,000-year soul ring is quite good.
Tang Hao was envisioning Tang San's future, while Tang San listened to his father's words and fell silent.
His mouth was agape, his heart trembled slightly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back without him realizing it, as if he had been frightened by Tang Hao's words.
After all, the "path to death" is prepared for others, not for oneself.
But when he thought of watching Xiao Wu being hurt and humiliated without restraint, Tang San suddenly felt a surge of courage.
In order to become stronger, Tang San suddenly gritted his teeth and decided to go all out:
"Father, I have made up my mind. I want to cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer, no matter the cost."
Tang Hao glanced at Tang San with some surprise.
He could clearly feel that at this moment, Tang San's determination to switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer suddenly became even stronger, and his resolve was not shaken by his words just now.
This left him with mixed feelings, but also a sense of relief.
To be honest, Tang Hao naturally hoped that Tang San could inherit his mantle and carry forward the Clear Sky Hammer.
Although he felt that cultivating the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul first was also a good idea, after all, it was the bloodline passed down by Ah Yin, and it was only slightly weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.
If Tang San could inherit Ah Yin's Blue Silver Crown, it would be a tremendous help to him.
But Tang Hao ultimately had more faith in the Clear Sky Hammer in his hands, because only the Clear Sky Hammer was the foundation of the Tang family, and only the Clear Sky Hammer was the source of the Tang family's power.
As a descendant of the Tang family, Tang San will inevitably have to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the Haotian Sect in the future.
If we don't repair the Haotian Hammer, it won't make sense. When we return to the Haotian Sect in the future, we will probably encounter some resistance and trouble.
Since that's the case, it's not impossible to consider teaching him the Haotian Sect's ultimate techniques ahead of schedule.
Thinking of this, Tang Hao, who originally did not intend to let Tang San switch to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer, unconsciously began to waver. However, he could not harm Tang San and cut off his foundation and potential.
Tang Hao looked at Tang San, and after careful consideration for a long time, finally nodded:
"Since you've made up your mind to switch to repairing the Clear Sky Hammer, I won't stop you. I just hope you won't regret it later."
"but."
Tang Hao had only spoken halfway when a frantic voice suddenly came from outside the door:
"Wait, I disagree!"
Then the door suddenly swung open, and a tall, thin figure stood straight outside. He had a thick beard, a buzz cut, a dark face, sunken cheeks, and glaring eyes, his expression full of urgency.
It was none other than the master Yu Xiaogang.
Tang Hao and Tang San in the room turned their heads to look at the same time.
Upon seeing that it was Yu Xiaogang, Tang Hao frowned slightly. He was a little displeased that he had been interrupted before he could finish speaking.
Tang San, on the other hand, was delighted, as he also wanted to tell him about his idea of switching to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer.
But judging from the master's angry expression and his urgent words just now, it seems he disagrees.
Tang San couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang strode into the room. Seeing his former idol, he didn't even bother to bow; his unpleasant voice rang out first:
"I disagree with Tang San cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul now."
Tang Hao remained silent, but Tang San, after a moment of silence, spoke up first:
"But teacher, if I don't cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer spirit, how can the Shrek Seven Devils possibly reach the end and win the final championship in this Elite Soul Master Competition with only the Blue Silver Grass spirit?"
Yu Xiaogang, however, did not want to hear any of this.
At this point, his eyes were bloodshot and he was filled with rage.
We finally found a genius with twin martial souls, how can we let him cultivate recklessly and ruin himself?
"Xiao San, what are you doing? Do you know that you're cutting off your path to becoming a Soul Master? Once you do this, you're doomed."
Yu Xiaogang practically roared as he blurted out all these words at once:
"The cultivation of twin martial souls cannot be changed so easily."
"You should know that the last genius with twin martial souls died because he couldn't withstand the conflict of martial soul energies while cultivating two martial souls at the same time, resulting in his body exploding and his soul disappearing."
"I've repeatedly warned you, precisely because I was afraid you'd go down this path of no return. Do you understand?"
