Martial Soul Revealed, Tang Hao Bursts into Tears
"Y-young f-friend, what is your M-Martial Soul?"
"How many Martial Souls do you have?"
Su Yuntao's voice trembled a little as he asked.
If he really had encountered someone with Twin Martial Souls, one could imagine the resources Spirit Hall would reward him with.
They would be enough for him to become a Soul Elder in a short time.
"One Martial Soul."
"The Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade. You could also call it the Three-Headed Flood Dragon."
Su Mu raised his head and answered. With a thought,
his hands returned to normal, the dragon horns on his head vanished, and the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade appeared in his hand again.
The sight left Su Yuntao even more dumbfounded.
This Martial Soul was probably even rarer than Twin Martial Souls.
A Martial Soul with two forms.
It could transform into a beast and into a weapon.
Tang San looked at the Blue Silver Hammer in his hand, then at the magnificent long blade in Su Mu's.
The sense of superiority he had felt over everyone else vanished in an instant.
Feeling the faint pain coming from his hand, he instantly felt he wasn't all that great anymore.
"Good, good, good."
"A fine Martial Soul and a fine name."
Su Yuntao sounded a little excited as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Although he had never seen a Martial Soul like this,
its ability to switch between two forms alone meant it was certainly no ordinary Martial Soul.
"You're a big, strapping lad. I could tell at a glance that you were no ordinary person."
"Come, come, let me test your Soul Power."
Su Mu walked slowly up to the blue Soul Power testing crystal, looking conflicted.
If Tang Hao found out that he had a dual-form Martial Soul
and Innate Full Soul Power at level twenty, wouldn't he just kill him on the spot?
Hopefully that blind God King can't tell my exact Soul Power Level.
Su Mu raised his hand and slowly placed it on the blue awakening crystal.
A dazzling blue light rose up.
"Innate Full Soul Power!"
This time, Su Yuntao wasn't shocked.
His heart was already as still as water.
He had entered sage mode.
A Martial Soul like that had already determined that his Soul Power couldn't be too low.
Full Soul Power was normal.
Hearing Su Yuntao's words, Su Mu felt a little more at ease.
Innate Full Soul Power was better than Tang Hao finding out he had innate level twenty Soul Power.
Douluo did have a tradition of killing geniuses.
Even Bone Douluo Gu Rong had once been tempted to kill Tang San.
"Young friend, I'd like to invite you to join Spirit Hall. Would you be willing?"
Su Yuntao asked, doing his best to put on a kindly expression.
Even he hadn't noticed that he had unconsciously changed the way he addressed Su Mu.
Here it comes, just as I thought.
"Forget it. I'm not considering that for the moment," Su Mu declined.
He couldn't agree to that. Tang San was still here.
If Tang Hao found out after they went home, he would be dead for sure.
Still, Su Mu hadn't given an outright refusal.
He had left Su Yuntao another possibility.
"All right, all right. There's no rush."
"Here are twenty Gold Soul Coins."
As he spoke, Su Yuntao pulled a small pouch from his pocket and handed it to Su Mu.
"If you change your mind, come find me in Nuoding City."
"Just mention my name when you get to Spirit Hall."
Twenty Gold Soul Coins were two months' worth of Su Yuntao's allowance. Though he had given them away just like that,
he didn't show the slightest sign of reluctance.
If Su Mu really did join Spirit Hall through him,
the reward would surely far exceed those twenty Gold Soul Coins.
Looking at the expectation in Su Yuntao's eyes, Su Mu hesitated for a moment before accepting the pouch.
Seeing Su Mu accept it,
Su Yuntao smiled even more happily.
"You there, Blue Silver Hammer boy, come here."
"Your Martial Soul is pretty useless, but at least you can cultivate."
Su Yuntao first poured a bucket of cold water over Tang San, then encouraged him.
"But don't lose heart. Although cultivation will be rather difficult, as long as you persevere, perhaps in a few decades you'll reach the same heights as me."
"You can become a Lord Soul Master admired by everyone."
Su Mu's eyelid twitched at those words.
You really know how to comfort someone.
Aren't you afraid the God King will shoot you with a Sleeve Arrow?
Su Yuntao gave them a few more instructions and handed Su Mu and Tang San their Soul Master certificates.
Seeing how attentive Su Yuntao was toward Su Mu, while repeatedly calling his own Martial Soul useless,
Tang San's eyes darkened for a moment.
"Master Su Yuntao, how did it go this time?"
"I heard quite a commotion in there."
Old Jack pushed open the door to Spirit Hall and walked in.
"Old Jack! Congratulations."
"Your village has produced a genius this time."
Although Su Mu had turned him down, Su Yuntao was still in a very good mood.
"Master, could it be... could Su Mu..."
Before Old Jack could finish,
"That's right. Young friend Su Mu has Innate Full Soul Power."
"His Martial Soul is formidable too."
"In the future, I'm afraid your Holy Soul Village will have to change its name to Holy Douluo Village!!"
Old Jack's eyes widened at those words.
He looked at Su Mu as though he had seen a young maiden in the bloom of youth stripped naked.
His gaze made Su Mu feel a little creeped out.
Tang San, meanwhile, was completely ignored.
His expression was somewhat resentful.
Old Jack and Su Yuntao walked out of Spirit Hall, chatting and laughing.
Hardly a few sentences passed without a mention of Su Mu.
"Brother Jack, help me persuade young friend Su Mu."
"I asked him to join Spirit Hall, but he wouldn't agree."
Though he said Su Mu had refused, Su Yuntao was still smiling.
"No problem, leave it to me."
"That boy listens to me more than anyone!"
The wrinkles on Old Jack's face seemed to have grown fewer as he laughed and agreed.
Neither of them realized that Su Mu called Old Jack Grandpa, Su Yuntao called Su Mu his young friend, and then called Old Jack his older brother.
Without realizing it, they had given Su Mu a super promotion in seniority.
After Su Yuntao left, all the children dispersed and went home.
"Dad, I'm back!"
Tang San called as he pushed open the door. He felt much better now.
On the way home, he had thought it through. Even if his Martial Soul was no good, he still had the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
His achievements might not necessarily be any lesser.
"You're back?"
"What's your Martial Soul?"
Tang Hao lay in his battered old chair and raised his face slightly as he asked.
Tang San said nothing and slowly raised his right hand.
A small blue hammer slowly emerged from Tang San's right hand.
Tang Hao's eyes widened at the sight.
"Little San, this is...!"
Tang Hao's voice shook with excitement, and his somewhat drunken body sobered up.
"Dad, this is the Blue Silver Hammer."
Tang San smiled as he explained.
"Blue Silver... Hammer! Blue Silver... Hammer!"
Tang Hao repeated the words, unable to keep tears from welling up in his eyes.
This was the fusion of Ah Yin and himself.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Seeing Tang Hao's reaction, Tang San wondered why his father was crying.
My talent must be too good.
"Good, good boy!"
Tang Hao excitedly seized Tang San's hand, his gaze lingering on the Blue Silver Hammer.
"Dad, can a person only have one Martial Soul?"
Tang San asked out of the blue.
Tang Hao froze and looked at Tang San in puzzlement.
Tang San slowly raised his left hand.
A blade of Blue Silver Grass, dark blue to the point of black and shimmering with gold, slowly floated out.
It gave off a very weighty feeling.
"Th-this is...!"
Tang Hao stood rooted to the spot. He sensed that the little blade of grass was brimming with the Clear Sky Hammer's presence.
Good, good, good. My son Tang San has the makings of a titled Douluo.
"Little San, nobody knows about your Second Martial Soul, do they?"
After saying that, Tang Hao realized the question seemed unnecessary.
Blue Silver Hammer? Clear Sky Grass? If not for today, even I wouldn't know what Martial Souls those were.
"Nobody saw it. Only we know."
"Ahem, ahem!"
Tang Hao coughed twice tactically.
"Little San," he said, "from now on, you must use the Blue Silver Hammer in your right hand to protect the Clear Sky Grass in your left."
After saying that, Tang Hao couldn't shake the feeling that something was strange.
No, something was twelve parts wrong out of ten.
