Tang San Was Stunned Silly—Dad, Why Did You Hit Me?

Ye Xian spread open his right palm, and purple light surged forth in an instant.

The ordinary wooden bow had now transformed into a Dark Purple Longbow.

"Darkin World Bow."

Ye Xian muttered as he recalled the name of the new martial soul the system had just displayed.

He nocked an arrow and drew the string. A Deep Red Arrow condensed from Soul Power appeared in his hand.

Looking at the leaky Earth Wall before him, he hesitated for a moment before putting his martial soul away.

If he fired this arrow, he might just bring the whole house down.

Just then, Ye Xian saw Old Jack walk out of the Blacksmith Shop through the window.

However, Old Jack's face was somewhat gloomy, and he strode along in a rage.

Clearly, he had just been rebuffed by Tang Hao.

Inside the Blacksmith Shop, Tang Hao wore a disdainful expression and thoroughly disagreed with what Old Jack had said.

Would becoming a Soul Master really make someone a Superior Being?

This Old Man had become a Titled Douluo, yet he still spent every day forging iron, didn't he?

He turned and returned to his room to lie down, then casually asked,

"Xiao San, what martial soul did you awaken?"

Tang San answered somewhat dejectedly,

"Dad, it's Blue Silver... Flower."

When Tang San spoke the first two words, Tang Hao's expression suddenly became excited.

Yet when Tang San uttered the final word, "Flower," Tang Hao became puzzled again.

Blue Silver Flower?

Why was it somewhat different from hers?

Although Ah Yin was the Blue Silver Emperor, her essence was still Blue Silver Grass.

Could it be a Martial Soul Mutation?

Just then, Tang San's voice came again,

"Dad, I have another martial soul too."

The curtain was abruptly pulled aside, and Tang Hao rushed out in an instant.

His face was now filled with shock.

Twin Martial Souls!

His own son actually had Twin Martial Souls!

A famous scene where Tang Hao discovered Tang San's Twin Martial Souls has been detected!

Chosen Encounter triggered!

Encounter Entry: Tang Hao Excitedly Grabs Tang San's Left Hand.

The host may choose to modify the entry, thereby affecting the original outcome of Tang San's famous scene.

Successfully influencing it will grant a reward: 500 System Essence!

Ye Xian's eyes flashed, and he immediately issued an order,

"Change 'grab' to 'slap'!"

Tang Hao looked excitedly at Tang San.

"Release your second martial soul and let me see it."

Faint Black Light gushed out from Tang San's palm.

The light instantly condensed, and the Clear Sky Hammer appeared in his left palm the next moment.

That familiar aura and appearance—it was indeed the Clear Sky Hammer!

Tang Hao crouched down excitedly, wanting to grab Tang San's hand and inspect it more closely.

"Smack—~!"

Yet the next second, he raised his right hand and directly slapped Tang San's Left Hand.

The Clear Sky Hammer Tang San had just condensed was instantly scattered.

"Ah—~!"

Tang San cried out in pain. That slap directly swollen his entire hand.

He looked at Tang Hao in alarm and involuntarily took half a step back.

What was wrong with Dad? Why had he suddenly hit him?

Tang Hao, meanwhile, was even more dumbfounded. He had only wanted to grab Tang San's left hand for a closer look.

Who would have thought he would land a Charged Strike instead?

Tang San was completely stunned. Enduring the pain, he cautiously asked,

"Dad, why did you hit me?"

Hearing this, Tang Hao immediately became solemn.

"Remember, no matter what happens, never reveal your second martial soul in front of others!"

"I hope you remember the warning I just gave you."

Tang San nodded repeatedly. Though he did not know why his father said this,

there must have been a reason for it.

"Also, make sure to use the hammer in your left hand to protect the grass in your right."

"Do you understand?"

Tang San nodded without really understanding.

Tang Hao did not say anything further. He stood up, turned around, and returned to his room.

Ding! Encounter modification successful!

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained: System Essence ×500!

Hearing the system's pleasant voice ring in his mind, Ye Xian immediately smiled.

According to the system's prompt, System Essence seemed to be currency that could be spent in the shop.

He opened the system interface and entered the System Shop.

"Buzz—~!"

The light screen trembled slightly, and the entire interface changed.

The glittering golden products that came into view nearly blinded Ye Xian.

Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Year Purple Spirit Ring, price: 9,999 System Essence.

Note: Can only be applied to the Third Spirit Ring!

What the hell!?

A Third Spirit Ring that was nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years old?

Was that still a Thousand Year Spirit Ring?

What was the difference between it and a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring?

Adaptive Spirit Ring Year Enhancement Card (can increase the age of any spirit ring by one thousand years), price: 9,999 System Essence!

Dawn Breaking High-Grade Soul Tool, price: 9,999 System Essence!

Good lord.

This thing was available too?

Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone, price: 99,999 System Essence!

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?

Ye Xian was completely dumbfounded.

Why did this System Shop sell everything?

His gaze shifted to the upper-right corner.

It clearly showed the System Essence he currently possessed: 500.

Those five hundred System Essence had only been obtained as a reward for modifying the encounter just now.

There was currently nothing in the System Shop that he could afford.

Even the cheapest items started at four digits.

And based on his rough observations, the best value products were that batch requiring "9,999" System Essence.

The little bit he had could only be saved up for now.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

As the opening of Notting Academy drew near, Tang Hao personally went to see Village Chief Jack.

He expressed his willingness to let Tang San attend a Soul Master Academy.

Today was the day new students began school at Notting Academy.

The sun had just risen over the horizon, and the Damp Mist in the air had yet to disperse.

Old Jack led Ye Xian and Tang San onto the road to Notting City.

Although Notting City was not very far from Holy Soul Village, the journey still took at least half a day.

By early afternoon, the three of them could see Notting City in the distance.

After entering the city without incident, they hurried toward Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy without stopping.

Before long, Ye Xian could vaguely make out the four words "Notting Academy" above the gates.

From this distance, he could faintly see a figure standing at the entrance.

If things followed the normal plot,

Tang San's famous scene of fighting the Gatekeeper seemed about to happen.

Then Yu Xiaogang would make a pretentious entrance.

After a round of smooth talk, he would make Tang San feel as though he had awakened from a dream and met the Benefactor of his life.

Then Tang San would naturally kneel and acknowledge Yu Xiaogang as his father.

Wouldn't this make for a Chosen Encounter and earn him some rewards?

From afar, the Gatekeeper was already sizing up the three people walking toward Notting Academy.

"What are you here for? Is this a place Villagers like you can come to?"

A famous scene where Tang San fought the Notting Academy Gatekeeper has been detected!

Chosen Encounter triggered!
