Chapter 12: Revealing The Bottom
After the Master instilled a bunch of theory, Tang San finally chose to believe the Master and absorb the Mandala Snake Soul Ring.
At this point, only Ling Mo’s Soul Ring remained unsolved!
“Master, are you okay?”
Seeing the Master’s face pale, it was obvious he had suffered considerable injury from the Mandala Snake’s attack earlier, but fortunately, he wasn’t poisoned.
“I’m fine! Once Xiao San absorbs this Soul Ring, only your Soul Ring will be left! Have you thought about what kind of Soul Ring you want to absorb?”
The Master’s face was extremely haggard; Ling Mo’s Performance earlier had surprised him greatly.
However, since Ling Mo stubbornly refused to say, he wouldn’t press him.
“Do you have any good suggestions?”
When it came to choosing Soul Ring attributes, asking the Master was the right choice!
However, to get the Master to explain, he had to tell him some of his own secrets; otherwise, it would be hard to choose a more suitable Soul Ring.
Ling Mo hesitated for a long time; the secret of the Dual Pupils was of great importance, and he didn’t want to entrust his life to others.
Therefore, he still chose not to speak up.
“Suggestions? Sure! It just depends on whether you’re willing to tell…”
The Master revealed a slight Smile.
The Master had met many people, but Ling Mo was the first one who left him at a loss; this kid was very shrewd.
“Hehe, Master! I know what you want to know! But… some Things are better left unsaid on the surface…”
Ling Mo knew what the Master wanted to ask: undoubtedly, the Effect and mysteries of the Dual Pupils.
He knew this secret couldn’t be hidden forever, but… until he grew stronger, he wouldn’t tell anyone proactively.
The Effect of the Dual Pupils was simply too overpowered; unless absolutely necessary, Ling Mo would never choose to expose it.
At the very least, he needed to first gain the ability to protect himself; otherwise… once this secret was exposed, he might very well be hunted by other Soul Masters.
Ling Mo understood the Reason of “an ordinary man with a treasure invites trouble” better than anyone.
With this heaven-defying Martial Soul, without Strength, he couldn’t keep it.
“Very good! You’re a smart kid, and you’ve considered it very thoroughly…”
He was very Satisfied with Ling Mo’s Performance, but… he still felt very regretful inside.
After all, he hadn’t gotten the secret he wanted from Ling Mo’s mouth.
To be honest, it wasn’t that Ling Mo didn’t trust the Master, but… some things really couldn’t be said openly.
There was no mentor-disciple relationship between them, so it was hard to guarantee whether he would sacrifice him for Martial Soul research.
Therefore… Ling Mo had to be cautious! After all, this concerned his own life and safety, and no one valued it more than Ling Mo.
Moreover, Ling Mo didn’t quite dare to trust the Master’s character!
Looking at the entire Douluo series, although his theoretical knowledge was indeed impressive, his approach to emotions…
Ling Mo really couldn’t compliment it, so… it was hard for him to trust the Master.
If he had a choice, Ling Mo truly didn’t want to stay by the Master’s side.
However, to learn solid theoretical knowledge, Ling Mo could only temporarily live under someone else’s roof.
At the very least, he needed to first understand the characteristics between those Soul Beasts, as well as their years and such Things, or it would be easy to make mistakes.
“Since you won’t say, then… let me share my thoughts…”
The Master wouldn’t force Ling Mo if he didn’t want to answer.
After thinking, he finally said: “From what I’ve observed, your Five-Colored Light Martial Soul is more focused on reinforcement Amplification.
Therefore… for your first Soul Ring, the best choice is to select from multiple attributes.
Including Power type, speed type, Defense type, and so on…
These attribute Soul Rings can greatly enhance your Martial Soul Amplification and strengthen yourself.
Moreover… from observing your Five-Colored Light Martial Soul, I discovered… this Martial Soul can also be used as a Support type Martial Soul.
But… it’s not a pure Support type Martial Soul; that’s just one of its aspects…”
The Master spoke slowly; although Ling Mo hadn’t told him the secret of the Dual Pupils, Ling Mo had previously mentioned the characteristics of the Five-Colored Divine Light.
And Ling Mo also intended to take this path first, so… no matter what secret the Dual Pupils held, it didn’t affect Ling Mo’s choice for his first Soul Ring.
He had asked earlier just to try to trick Ling Mo, but he hadn’t expected him to be so smart and not fall for it.
Although disappointed, the Master was still very Satisfied with Ling Mo’s Performance.
It was just a pity that he hadn’t taken him as his master; the Master was still very regretful about this.
He didn’t know if he had done something wrong, making Ling Mo refuse to take him as master no matter what.
Returning to the original question, choosing the first Soul Ring was very difficult.
Ling Mo raised his Question, “Then, can it be a Soul Ring that simultaneously possesses Power, speed, Defense, and other characteristics?”
The Master hesitated for a moment, then said: “Since it’s an Amplification class Effect, the best choice is indeed a Soul Ring that simultaneously has Power, speed, and Defense characteristics—that would be your best option.
The mysteries of your Soul Ring can only be concluded after you absorb the first Soul Ring!
But… such a Soul Ring isn’t that easy to find.
Therefore, this option can basically be ruled out first…”
“Understood! But… is there a possibility of pairing, like one Soul Ring with Power type, and the next with speed type?”
Ling Mo raised another Doubt; he still had many questions in his heart.
Originally, he thought that as a transmigrator, he could make the correct Soul Ring choice here without learning any theory.
But… he was wrong!
This world never lacks smart people, nor does it lack those who think too highly of themselves.
Without solid theoretical knowledge, blindly absorbing a Soul Ring would definitely make you the first to die.
Did he really think that the theoretical knowledge someone researched for half a lifetime could be mastered just by reading a few Douluo novels?
So, there are always people who think they’re smarter than others and know everything!
Thinking they can master everything without a teacher right after transmigrating, omnipotent in heaven and earth.
Afraid they’re still living in their own delusions and can’t get out.
Although the Master was very weak with only Level Twenty-nine Soul Power, when it came to theoretical knowledge, he was indeed the top authority in this area.
In his previous life, Ling Mo had seen a hilarious comment multiple times saying the Master’s theories were all bluster.
He was just a waste! A waste who knew nothing.
Every time he heard that, Ling Mo wanted to laugh!
No matter how useless he was, he was still better than you tapping away at the keyboard, right?
Although Ling Mo also somewhat disliked his style, when it came to theory, he definitely knew more than him, and that was enough.
Back to the main topic, it was still the same problem.
“In theory, your Thought is feasible! It’s just lacking a practical Opportunity…”
The Master thought about it and finally said.
But how to find such a Soul Ring remained a difficult problem; Ling Mo was also troubled!
“We’ve circled around for so long, and still haven’t found a suitable Soul Ring…”
“Don’t rush; wait for Xiao San to absorb the Mandala Snake’s Soul Ring, then we’ll search slowly; we’ll eventually find a suitable one…”
The Master smiled, his gaze turning to Tang San.
Since there was no hope of researching Ling Mo, he could only place his last hope on Tang San.
