Another Harvest

"This..."

Tang San, who was always calm, finally lost his composure tonight.

The shock he had received during the day had already been overwhelming. Now, after hearing earth-shattering news that evening, he had to make a decision immediately.

Little San, what will you do? Tang Hao, watching from afar, could not help worrying for his son.

At first, he had been moved by the realization that Su Ming had a similar background to Little San's—one even more tragic than Little San's.

Later, however, he was astonished by the "price" Su Ming had named.

Little San was still a child, so it was normal that he did not understand the immense value hidden behind Su Ming's proposal.

But Tang Hao, as the Clear Sky Douluo, understood.

If Su Ming's words had not been watered down or exaggerated—

Then a customized growth plan for Little San, along with training Little San personally, was incredibly valuable!

There had been very little research into Twin Martial Souls on Douluo Continent. Only two people with them had appeared in the past century.

Let alone any knowledge of how to better nurture those who possessed Twin Martial Souls.

Su Ming's proposal had indeed struck Tang Hao right in the heart.

Ever since learning that his son possessed Twin Martial Souls, he had been troubled over finding him a suitable teacher.

Who would have thought that Little San's childhood companion could happen to take on that role?

Avoiding detours was exceedingly important.

Why had those sects and clans on Douluo Continent been able to pass down their legacies?

Aside from inheriting martial souls, the crucial factor was the accumulated experience and trial and error of generation after generation in nurturing martial souls, which had helped them find the most suitable path.

If his identity could be exposed, Tang Hao truly wanted to rush out right now and accept the invitation for Little San.

In Tang Hao's eyes, those so-called Quansheng Demonic Cultivators and half-god experts were things Su Ming and Little San could not come into contact with at this stage. They were not matters to consider right now.

Their foremost task was to cultivate diligently and grow stronger.

Revenge was something they should only consider once they became Titled Douluo in the future.

Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent had not interacted for thousands of years. Su Ming had only come to Douluo Continent because of an accident.

Su Ming was safe now, and this matter of revenge could only officially begin after he had grown stronger.

To cross the incomparably distant ocean and travel to another continent, one would need to be at least a Titled Douluo, wouldn't they?

As for some kind of teleportation array, Douluo Continent did not have the conditions for that.

Moreover, after interacting with him for the past few years, Tang Hao did not think Su Ming was someone who acted without thinking or made empty boasts.

Therefore, if Su Ming said he would seek revenge against that so-called Quansheng in the future, he must have confidence to back it up.

Little San had received such enormous kindness from him. It was only right for him to help Su Ming when the time came.

Besides that, Tang Hao himself also bore the weight of vengeance.

If Su Ming could help Little San and him in the future, then their chances of taking revenge on Spirit Hall would grow even greater!

With all these conditions combined, Tang Hao naturally hoped Little San would accept Su Ming's invitation.

"Brother Ming, what are you saying? Forget whether there's some growth plan or training. If I can help you in the future, I'll brave fire and water without hesitation!"

Tang San looked at Su Ming before him and spoke those words decisively and sincerely.

In his previous life, he had been an orphan adopted by the Tang Sect and raised to be a killer.

He had never experienced familial affection or friendship.

Now that he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent, he not only had a father, but also a wonderful big brother like Su Ming.

Tang San had never even dared dream of such things before.

Over these years, he had remembered the care Old Jack's family had shown him, as well as Su Ming's kindness toward him.

He sincerely regarded Su Ming as his big brother, without the slightest falsehood.

Seeing Tang San agree without the slightest hesitation, Su Ming was very satisfied.

In the original plot, Tang San's initial behavior showed that he lacked love.

Back in the Tang Sect in his previous life, he had never formed proper values. There was no familial affection and no friendship.

He treated making hidden weapons as an emotional refuge, and later even stole the sect's ultimate techniques to study them.

Although he was a genius in crafting hidden weapons, there was no excusing his theft of the sect's ultimate techniques.

Still, he had at least left behind Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus before jumping off the cliff.

Then he had come to Douluo Continent and been reborn, only to end up with Tang Hao, who taught him nothing.

In the end, Yu Xiaogang led him astray, completely making his values beyond salvaging.

Having good points and bad points was normal.

As long as Little San was not brainwashed like in the original plot from here on, Su Ming was quite willing to take him in as a little brother and harvest his Willpower.

After all, people were all hypocrites. If Tang San was on his side, it would be quite nice for him to tell every enemy hostile toward him that they were on the Path to Death.

As long as he was properly nurtured and his values were shaped well, Tang San would definitely be an excellent helper.

But if something went wrong along the way, then Su Ming could only kill him and eliminate the hidden danger.

So what if killing the protagonist meant harvesting less Willpower?

What Su Ming needed to do was alter the plot while keeping it under his control. The moment anything became uncontrollable, it needed to be corrected.

"Little San, I'm very glad that's what you think. Let's leave it at that for today. Once we get to the academy, I'll have the early-stage growth plan prepared."

Tonight's arrangements had helped Su Ming harvest a large amount of Willpower and had thoroughly changed the direction of the original plot from this point onward.

"Get home early. Don't make your father worry."

Su Ming's sudden words left Tang San somewhat stunned.

After all, Su Ming rarely mentioned his father in daily life.

Still, he nodded. After saying goodbye, he raced down the mountain.

"Uncle Tang Hao, come out for a moment."

Sensing that Tang Hao had not yet left, Su Ming promptly spoke up and stopped him through voice transmission.

How is that possible?! Tang Hao, who had been preparing to leave in secret, broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing that familiar voice.

He was merely a child who had just awakened his martial soul. How could he detect Tang Hao hidden in the dark and even transmit his voice to him?

"Uncle Tang Hao, hurry up. I have something to discuss with you." Seeing that Tang Hao still had not appeared, Su Ming urged him again.

Apart from harvesting Willpower, Su Ming had called Tang Hao out because Tang Hao would be useful in the upcoming changes to the plot.

Thus, he needed to make contact and lay the groundwork in advance. While he was at it, he could properly build up the Trinity Gate's mystery and strength before Tang Hao.

"Little Ming, how did you discover me?" This time, Tang Hao chose to step out.

Just as Su Ming and Tang Hao were speaking—

After a busy day, Su Yuntao returned to Spirit Hall and did not dare delay in the slightest. He wrote a report on everything that had happened today and submitted it.

Innate Full Soul Power, the extremely unusual "Qi" martial soul, and the Trinity Gate.

These pieces of information were recorded in a secret letter and swiftly sent to the higher-ranking levels of Spirit Hall.

After being passed upward through layer after layer, it would eventually arrive at the Pope's Palace in Spirit City!
