Tang Hao: Withdrew a Path to Death
[Blue Silver Emperor: one of the Douluo Continent's top Soul Beasts, the true king of the plant type. It contained powerful vitality and possessed outstanding restorative and healing abilities]
[Golden Dragon King: one half of the Dragon God, representing the ultimate in blood Qi and strength. He possessed the ability to tear apart god-level beings and naturally suppressed any beast]
"Six years."
"The system finally showed up!"
Tang Wulin would have been lying if he said he wasn't excited. After all these years, he had almost thought the system was just a tool that had helped him transmigrate. Today, it had finally appeared.
What was more, the moment it appeared, it brought him the Twin Martial Souls he had been looking forward to most: the Blue Silver Emperor and the Golden Dragon King!
"Twin Martial Souls, the Blue Silver Emperor and the Golden Dragon King."
A smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. He couldn't have been happier. With the Blue Silver Emperor, the Golden Dragon King, and a golden finger, he really didn't know how he could lose!
Meanwhile, under Su Yuntao's astonished gaze, the golden light faded, and an enormous golden dragon emerged behind Tang Wulin.
The instant it appeared, its powerful presence enveloped the entire space, leaving Su Yuntao, whose emotions were already in turmoil, completely dumbstruck.
A closer look revealed that he was actually trembling!
"This Martial Soul..."
Tang San noticed the scene before him as well, and a stunned look immediately crossed his face. Tang Wulin's Martial Soul had such an imposing presence!
Was this a top-tier Martial Soul of the Douluo Continent? It had to be. Even this Lord Soul Grandmaster was trembling!
He just didn't know what kind of Martial Soul he would have. It would surely be as powerful as Tang Wulin's, wouldn't it?
"A dragon!"
"It's actually a golden dragon!"
Su Yuntao stared blankly at the scene before him, his fists clenched so tightly they made a noise. With difficulty, he came back to his senses.
It was actually a dragon-type Martial Soul!
Dragon-type Martial Souls, regardless of species, were overlords among Beast Martial Souls. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon of the continent's Upper Three Sects was the best example, hailed as the number one Beast Martial Soul.
Although he had never heard of this golden dragon, that didn't stop him from sensing how powerful its Martial Soul was. The reason was simple: Martial Soul suppression!
Before Tang Wulin's Martial Soul, his Lone Wolf could only submit. And he was a Soul Grandmaster!
A name couldn't help appearing in his mind. It was a top-tier Martial Soul he had learned about while reading ancient texts: the Golden Sacred Dragon. Could this be...?
"Child, quick."
"Let's test your Innate Soul Power."
Su Yuntao thrust the crystal ball into his hands, anticipation on his face. He was eager to know just what level the boy's Martial Soul talent could reach.
"All right."
Tang Wulin took the crystal ball with a smile. The instant his palm touched it, a dazzling light appeared once more, making Su Yuntao's wolf eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.
"Innate... Full Soul Power!"
"Child, you actually have Innate Full Soul Power!"
Su Yuntao drew a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock. Innate Full Soul Power—it was actually Innate Full Soul Power.
He wasn't particularly knowledgeable, but he knew perfectly well that even Yu Yuanzhen, the Titled Douluo and clan master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, had possessed only level nine Innate Soul Power!
Before this, there had never been a case of a dragon-type Martial Soul possessor with Innate Full Soul Power!
This child's future was boundless!
"Child, what's your name?"
Su Yuntao came back to his senses and asked gently.
"My name is Tang Wulin."
Tang Wulin answered.
"Wulin, that's a good name. Would you be willing to join our Spirit Hall?"
At that moment, Su Yuntao asked with some anticipation.
"With your potential, as long as I report it to my superiors when I return, powerful experts will surely spare no effort to nurture you. Becoming the disciple of a Titled Douluo—no, even a Super Douluo—wouldn't be a dream!"
"I..."
"I don't have any plans to join a faction yet. Sorry, Lord Deacon."
Tang Wulin had naturally wanted to agree.
However, as Su Yuntao spoke his second sentence, before Tang Wulin had a chance to respond, a feeling of being watched nearly made him shiver, and he hurriedly changed his mind.
He was just a village child; there was surely no reason for him to be watched. In this tiny patch of Holy Soul Village, only one person could have done it.
Tang Hao!
The fluctuations from the Golden Dragon King's Martial Soul were immense. This was a being that stood above god-level Martial Souls. Even if Tang Hao was a drunkard, there was no way he wouldn't take a look.
And if Tang Hao learned that someone with Tang Wulin's potential had joined the Spirit Hall and, as Su Yuntao had said, became the disciple of a Super Douluo or even Pope Bibi Dong, he feared he wouldn't live to see tonight's moon.
Or perhaps he was thinking too badly of Tang Hao, but he really found it hard not to be wary of him. If Tang Hao sent him down a path to death, even his heavenly start would be ruined!
"Well..."
"All right, I respect your decision."
"If you change your mind later, please come to the Martial Soul Sub-Hall in Nuoding City. You're welcome anytime."
Although Su Yuntao was a little disappointed by Tang Wulin's answer, he smiled again. Refusing now didn't mean he would refuse in the future.
"Thank you, Lord Deacon."
Tang Wulin acknowledged him.
He couldn't help taking a few extra looks at this widely renowned Blind Douluo. Who would have thought Brother Tao also worked as a gold-medal investor?
But Tang Wulin clearly couldn't join for the time being.
"All right, the last child."
"Come here. It's time to awaken your Martial Soul."
Su Yuntao turned his attention to Tang San and motioned for him to come forward.
"Yes, Lord Deacon!"
With anticipation shining in his eyes, Tang San nodded. He had been waiting for a long time!
Even Tang Wulin could have a top-tier Martial Soul. He, Tang San, had practiced the Mysterious Heaven Skill since childhood, so his definitely wouldn't be inferior!
The next moment, the instant his right hand touched the Awakening Stone, an equally dazzling light burst forth.
"Another genius!"
Su Yuntao's eyes widened. Could it be that he would encounter two geniuses in a single day?
I really am a genius too!
At that moment, Tang San's eyes widened as well, eagerly awaiting his Martial Soul!
"..."
"I really didn't expect it. It's rare enough for a golden phoenix to come out of a thatched cottage, but the child Old Jack picked up turned out to be a golden dragon."
"But this kid nearly joined the Spirit Hall. You're lucky to be alive. With that potential, if you really had sided with the Spirit Hall, you couldn't blame me, Tang Hao, for bullying a child."
Meanwhile, at Tang San's home.
A slovenly man focused his attention on the Awakening Hall. Looking at the child raised by Old Jack, he clicked his tongue in amazement.
Old Jack's constant nagging was terribly annoying, but the child he had picked up had unexpectedly turned out to be a dragon or phoenix among men. With such talent, he might one day surpass even him, the Clear Sky Douluo.
It was a good thing he hadn't believed the Spirit Hall deacon's honeyed words. If he had sided with the Spirit Hall, he would already have had a path to death!
"It's Little San's turn. I might as well take a look too."
"But his Martial Soul should be the Clear Sky Hammer. I just don't know whether a deacon in this remote place will recognize it. If he doesn't, that really will be troublesome."
Tang Hao spoke with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He would take it one step at a time. If necessary, he would kill the Spirit Hall deacon and the children.
And if it wasn't the Clear Sky Hammer...
It could only be the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. Surely it couldn't be Blue Silver Grass like Third Sister's?
"..."
Not long afterward, as the light around Tang San faded, a tuft of tender green grass shimmering with blue light was shining in his palm.
"Grass?"
Tang Hao's expression froze. Layer upon layer of black lines appeared on his forehead. In the end, he picked up the wine bottle beside his bed and drained it in one gulp.
How did it end up being Blue Silver Grass?!
