Chapter 19 features a surprising "Wood Release" technique, Blue Silver Binding!
Qin Ming shifted his gaze from Lin Hao to Osro, saying, "Control-type attacks counter agility-type attacks. Osro, you relied on your superior soul power level, and your attacks could have broken through his Blue Silver Grass control ability, but you carelessly underestimated him, and even your last bit of advantage was squandered by overconfidence. You lost."
Oslo sighed, head bowed, forced to accept reality, "I lost. Put me down!"
Lin Hao's expression was gentle as he put away his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
Qin Ming continued, "Osro, today's sparring has taught you an important lesson. Remember, never underestimate any opponent who is weaker than you."
Oslo nodded. "I understand, Professor Qin Ming."
As he spoke, Oslo remained as cold as ever, his gaze sweeping towards Lin Hao.
A loss is a loss, and Oslo won't cheat.
Although he lost, it doesn't necessarily mean that Lin Hao is stronger than him.
Agility-based Soul Masters should naturally remain hidden in the shadows.
Sneak attacks, assassinations, and reconnaissance are all skills that agility-based Soul Masters excel at.
A direct confrontation is inherently unfair to agility-based Soul Masters.
In a complex terrain, even with his self-created soul skills, Lin Hao would not have an easy time defeating Osro, a second-ring great soul master whose soul power was much higher than his.
Lin Hao might even be quickly defeated by Oslo, who could take advantage of his speed and the terrain.
"You're great. We'll meet again."
As he spoke, Oslo walked back to Avalanche's side.
Lin Hao glanced at Xue Beng, who was grinning and joking, and chuckled, "Alright, alright, I won't bother you with my underlings anymore!"
The way the avalanche looked was really infuriating.
No one would want to talk to someone as irresponsible and irresponsible as him.
After the exchange ended, the onlookers scattered like birds and beasts.
Although they were some distance away, they could still faintly hear Avalanche and Oslo's conversation.
"Boss, I've embarrassed you!"
"It's okay, it's just that you lost. You've already done your best."
"Boss, where do we go next? Are we going to find your royal uncle?"
"Why would you want to see him? Are you questioning my abilities?"
……
After everyone else left, Lin Hao asked, "Teacher Qin Ming, did you come to see me?"
Qin Ming nodded, his fingers touching the ring. With a flick of his wrist, he produced a silk quilt. "After I came back, I remembered you hadn't prepared any bedding. Autumn is here, and the weather will gradually get cooler. The quilt is made from snow silkworm silk, soaked in a special medicinal solution. Sleeping on it has a calming effect."
"Thank you, Teacher Qin Ming. But why are you so kind to me?" Lin Hao asked Qin Ming thoughtfully.
Qin Ming devoted himself wholeheartedly and tirelessly, spending ten days to half a month in the Soul Hunting Forest to find suitable soul beasts for Lin Hao.
Now, they are gifting him a specially made snow silk quilt.
Lin Hao even wondered if Qin Ming wanted to take him as a disciple.
Qin Ming said, "Don't feel embarrassed. I treat every student at the Heavenly Dou level this way. Excellent students always win the favor of their teachers. If you ever neglect your cultivation and stop striving for improvement, I probably won't pay attention to you anymore!"
Just then, several students walked out of the Douluo Building.
When they pass by Qin Ming, they all respectfully say, "Hello, Teacher Qin!"
It's clear that Qin Ming has excellent interpersonal relationships among the top students.
Qin Ming changed the subject, "With your current soul power level, don't use your self-created soul skill from earlier; it will deplete your soul power too much!"
Lin Hao nodded.
The newly acquired derivative soul skill can catch opponents off guard, but it consumes a great deal of soul power.
Qin Ming said, "Tell me, how did you comprehend the derivative technique?"
Speaking of derivative skills, Lin Haomian smiled, a faint sense of pride in his heart, "I specialize in life. Blue Silver Grass has a tenacious vitality. Even if it breaks, it's like a sweet potato vine; as long as it encounters a suitable environment, it can still continue to grow and sprout."
"During the battle with Osro, Osro cut off my Blue Silver Grass, and my body was covered with broken stems and leaves of Blue Silver Grass."
"As long as I activate my first soul skill and inject my life force into the broken Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver Grass will surely grow into a strong vine."
This is not Tang San's second soul skill—Parasitism.
This is the nature of the Blue Silver Grass.
Everything can be cured.
The broken stems and leaves of the Blue Silver Grass, infused with vitality, grow vigorously and sprout Blue Silver Grass with binding abilities.
This derivative technique consumes a great deal of soul power.
At Lin Hao's current level as a one-ring Soul Master, he can only activate the Soul Force once. Just now, in order to restrain Osro, Lin Hao's Soul Power was almost completely drained.
Besides using his self-created soul skill, Lin Hao felt that there was still room for development in this derivative skill.
He pondered, semen contains genetic factors. Cells can be cloned and replicated. If the injected life force reaches a certain level, could it utilize the sap produced during the forging of Blue Silver Grass to cultivate countless Blue Silver Grasses?
Once realized, its power will be extraordinary.
It was as if the Tree Realm had descended.
Qin Ming lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "Hmm, not bad, it's a soul skill suitable for combat. It also has a fatal flaw: if the opponent sees through it and uses their soul power to shake off everything related to the Blue Silver Grass the instant they break free from it, including the sap, then you won't be able to activate the soul skill you just used."
"Yes."
Lin Hao nodded and asked smugly, "If I can't stimulate the growth of the Blue Silver Grass on the other person's body, what about the ones on the ground?"
"ground?"
Qin Ming gazed thoughtfully at the battlefield, his mind replaying the scene of activating the Blue Silver Grass that had been severed and fallen to the ground by his opponent, thus unleashing his first spirit ring derivative skill. He paused for a moment, then reached out and smiled, patting Lin Hao's head. "Lin Hao, you're such a clever little devil!"
Lin Hao shifted his feet, avoiding Qin Ming's pat on the head.
Qin Ming asked, "What about a name? Have you given your self-created soul skill a name?"
Lin Hao paused for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it, Blue Silver Binding!"
The soul skill is neither Tang San's second soul skill, Parasite, nor does it resemble Wood Release.
Purely infuse life force into the broken stems and leaves of the Blue Silver Grass, allowing it to grow vigorously and bind its opponents.
Lin Hao looked around, seeing no one else. He touched his storage ring, then with a flick of his wrist, handed the balloon to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming asked, "Why did you give me a balloon?"
Lin Hao didn't answer immediately, and took out a ball from his storage ring, handing it to Qin Ming as well.
Qin Ming became even more curious. "Do you want to play ball with me now?"
Lin Hao smiled and shook his head. He took out a balloon, blew it up, tied it up, and said in a very serious tone, like an old scholar from an academy, "When I left the forest, I almost forgot. I promised you in the Soul Hunting Forest that I would teach you my self-created soul skill, the Spiral Strike. Before I teach it to you, you must promise me that you will not teach it to anyone without my permission. Not even your future wife and children."
