educates Tang 3 on Soul Master knowledge.

Chapter 5 teaches Tang San about Soul Masters

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Jerry and Tang San are almost six years old.

In the past three years, Tang San has become much stronger because of fishing. He has also cultivated the Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow Tracking, and Xuan Jade Hand to the first level limit, but he has not been able to break through. Thinking that he will soon awaken his martial soul, Tang San is a little impatient!

As for Jerry, it's been three years, and on the surface, he and Tang San have a very good relationship.

However, Tang San refused to teach him the Mysterious Heaven Skill, always making excuses to brush it off. Jerry realized that Tang San wasn't so easily fooled.

So he intensified his training. Although Tang San didn't teach Jerry the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he never refused when Jerry asked him to forge things.

Jerry knew that Tang San had forged a hidden arrow, which Tang San kept hidden every day for fear that Jerry would find out. So Jerry asked Tang San to help him forge a bow and arrow.

Although the bow and arrow were large and not very convenient, Jerry kept practicing. However, this bow and arrow was really too difficult. Jerry could guarantee that he could hit the target within 10 meters, but beyond 10 meters, it was up to chance.

Tang San saw Jerry practicing archery and mocked, "Jerry, your arrows aren't even as accurate as mine!"

"I..." Jerry had a strong urge to punch Tang San.

Bows and arrows were too difficult to make, so Jerry reluctantly got Tang San to forge a strangely shaped crossbow. Normal crossbows don't have barrels, but Jerry's did. The barrel had a sight and a notch at the end, making it look like a sniper rifle from a distance. It fired arrows, powered by a bow.

However, this simple change greatly improved Jerry's accuracy.

Tang San saw it and asked, "What's the use of this?"

"It can be used for hunting, and even as a weapon."

"It's fine for hunting, but if you're going to use it to kill someone, your opponent will run away as soon as they see you pull out such a big weapon. Are you even good at aiming?"

"Get out! I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

Tang San, you're driving me crazy! You won't teach me the Mysterious Heaven Skill, you won't give me the hidden arrow, and you even mock me.

Thinking about how Xiao Wu and Tang San were together for so many years, and he still didn't pass on his skills to her, nor did the people at Shrek Academy. Tang San's mind was very firm. When he jumped off the cliff in his previous life, he said he wouldn't pass on his skills to outsiders, and he wouldn't pass them on to outsiders in this other world either!

Jerry had thought about making guns before, but gunpowder was a problem. The textbook said one part sulfur, two parts saltpeter, and three parts charcoal, but how did he get the sulfur? How did he get the saltpeter? He had absolutely no idea!

Jerry also tried meditating on his own, but his butt went numb and he didn't feel anything!

He treated Tang San sincerely for three years, but gained nothing; it was all for naught.

Tang San was still wary of him afterward, but since this happened, Tang San shouldn't blame me!

I was hesitant about the impact on the later plot, but now I have no worries!

The next morning, Jerry got up early and ran to the place where Tang San was cultivating on the back mountain. Sure enough, Tang San had already arrived. When Tang San finished cultivating and saw Jerry, he suddenly felt a little guilty!

"Jerry, you got up so early today. Are you here to exercise too?" Tang San asked.

"Yeah, I'll be awakening my martial soul in three months. I need to train harder so I can have soul power when I awaken. Grandpa Jack said that no one in my family has had soul power for generations, so I need to work harder. Little San, you seem to be very interested in soul masters. Do you want to become a soul master in the future?" Jerry asked.

"Yes, I've heard that Soul Masters have a very high status. I'd like to try it too. Do you know anything about the world of Soul Masters?" Sure enough, Tang San also wanted to get some information about Soul Masters from Jerry, which was exactly what Jerry wanted.

"I know some of it; my grandfather told me a lot about it when he had nothing else to do."

"These are all basic common sense. For example, Soul Masters have different ranks. After awakening a Martial Soul, having Soul Power makes you a Soul Warrior. Once you reach level ten and absorb your first Soul Ring, you become a Soul Master. After that, you become a Great Soul Master, Soul Venerable, Soul Sect Master, Soul King, Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, Soul Douluo, and Title Douluo."

"Title Douluo is already the strongest force in this world. I don't know about anything above that. You can absorb a spirit ring every 10 levels to break through. There are white ten-year spirit rings, yellow hundred-year spirit rings, purple thousand-year spirit rings, black ten-thousand-year spirit rings, and red one-hundred-thousand-year spirit rings."

"By the way, there is a master in the Soul Master world who published the Ten Core Theories of Martial Souls, which allows us ordinary people to better understand Martial Souls."

"Then this master is still very great," Tang San said.

"Great? He has nothing to do with greatness; in fact, this master is a thief."

"This master is called Yu Xiaogang, the son of the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. He has half a level of innate soul power, and he can't cultivate any higher than level 29 in this lifetime."

"So I went to the Spirit Hall, studied the Spirit Hall's materials, compiled them, and published the Ten Core Theories of Spirit."

"To attribute plagiarized work to oneself, publish it, and then take the blame—isn't that hypocritical?"

"But he also benefited many ordinary soul masters, didn't he?" Tang San asked.

"That's because he's a good-for-nothing. He suffered discrimination from his own clan members and couldn't take it anymore, so he resorted to other crooked and evil ways."

"However, his summary of the ten core theories of martial spirit is incomplete, or even wrong."

"Originally, the cultivation methods of Soul Masters were controlled by the imperial nobility, the Spirit Hall, and sects. All Soul Masters who awakened their Martial Souls would either join the Spirit Hall, a sect, or the Empire to receive systematic training."

"These materials are accumulated over hundreds or even thousands of years. Yu Xiaogang spent several years compiling his theories based on the Spirit Hall's data. Do you think they could possibly be perfect?"

"If you can compile complete cultivation data within a hundred years, I will admire you!"

"I'll pass, I don't have that ability!" Tang San said.

"Besides, don't you think about it? The information on martial spirits is the result of generations of people experimenting with their own lives. Would the Spirit Hall really let a piece of trash like Yu Xiaogang see the truly important information? After all, he also has the identity of being the son of the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Besides the Spirit Hall, there are three other powerful sects: the Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"The three major sects don't have a good relationship with the Spirit Hall. Do you think the people in the Spirit Hall are stupid enough to show the information to the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Chief? Would you do that?"

"Of course I won't. This is a sect secret, and I would never leak it," Tang San said firmly.

"People call him a master on the surface, but it's really just a way of mocking him. Do you know why no one touched him after he published his ten core theories, which indirectly affected the interests of the nobility and sects?"

"Because his ten core theories are a joke to sects and nobles, but Yu Xiaogang is unaware of this and is so obsessed with them that he cannot extricate himself."

"He can't prove his own theory, but he firmly believes in it. I've heard that he's been trying to find a talented disciple to prove his theory for years, but unfortunately, he hasn't found one yet!"
