"Grandpa, I'm going out to play."

After dinner, Su Ming bid Old Jack farewell and left the house.

"Remember to come back early." Watching his grandson leave, Old Jack went off to attend to other matters.

At first, Old Jack had been worried about Su Ming going out to play in the evenings and sometimes returning home very late, afraid that Su Ming might encounter some danger outside.

But as Su Ming displayed his talents and returned safely every time, Old Jack gradually came to feel at ease.

Little San must be getting impatient waiting there.

Su Ming knew the original plot well, so how could he not know that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls?

After all these years together, Tang San would surely tell him this secret, perhaps even hoping to get some advice from him.

After all, the talents Su Ming had displayed since childhood were his formidable physical constitution, exceptional learning ability, and intelligence.

The flashes of inspiration he came up with from time to time were sometimes quite useful.

But this time, Su Ming did not hurry over as usual. Instead, he sauntered there at an unhurried pace.

He would give Tang San a good grind and make him anxious. Maybe he could harvest a little more Willpower.

As the saying went, even a mosquito was still meat.

Especially from characters with important roles in the original plot, it was easier to produce Willpower and harvest more of it.

"Why hasn't Brother Ming come yet? Could something have happened?"

Looking at the sky, Tang San grew somewhat anxious.

Su Ming had always arrived on time in the past.

And the Spirit Awakening ceremony had been held during the day, so Tang San could not help but overthink things.

Little San, is he waiting for that boy Su Ming? Tang Hao, observing in secret, guessed what was on his son's mind when he saw his expression.

Normally, he let Tang San roam freely.

There was no danger near Holy Soul Village, and Su Ming was usually around, so Tang Hao had always been at ease.

But after Little San tested as having Innate Full Soul Power today and told him that he possessed Twin Martial Souls, Tang Hao decided to protect him in secret until he became a Soul Master and gained some ability to protect himself.

His child was a peerless genius. Nothing could go wrong.

Besides being proud of his son, Tang Hao seemed to see the possibility of taking revenge against Spirit Hall.

Though that possibility was exceedingly slim, having it was enough!

At the very least, it was the driving force that kept him moving forward!

Two Douluo in one family, with the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world.

As long as they did not face the encirclement and extermination of those Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall's Worship Hall, they could go anywhere in the world!

"Little San, judging by the look on your face, you must have been waiting impatiently."

Just then, Su Ming's voice sounded from atop the small hill.

Hearing the familiar voice, Tang San quickly shook his head. "What are you saying, Brother Ming? I only got here not long ago."

"It's just that there's something especially important I haven't told you yet, Brother Ming, so I seemed a little anxious."

Little San actually trusts Su Ming this much? After hearing his son say that, Tang Hao did not need to think to know that Tang San was about to reveal the earth-shattering secret of his Twin Martial Souls.

He had just told him during the day not to reveal the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, yet now he was about to tell someone himself.

At first, Tang Hao truly was worried. Once this secret was told to someone else, there was inevitably the risk of it leaking.

Twin Martial Souls: one was Blue Silver Grass, and the other was the Clear Sky Hammer.

Spirit Hall would definitely notice something. Tang Hao did not want Little San to start wandering everywhere with him and evading pursuit so early.

He had even considered taking certain measures, but when he thought of the relationship between Su Ming and Little San, he ultimately chose to wait and see.

Su Ming was Little San's only friend all these years.

If something truly went wrong later, he would act then.

Feeling the Willpower harvested from Tang Hao, Su Ming smiled lightly and spoke, interrupting Tang San.

He intended to make this a big one and continue harvesting Willpower.

Taking over the conversation, he said confidently, "If I'm not mistaken, Little San, you want to tell me that you actually have another Martial Soul, right?"

Though phrased as a question, his tone was filled with certainty.

"Brother Ming, how did you know what I wanted to say?" Tang San's face was full of disbelief.

From what he knew, there were very few examples of Twin Martial Souls in this world. Almost no one would guess in that direction.

That was precisely why Tang San was so shocked.

Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, was equally surprised, then grew curious.

Facing Tang San's confusion and feeling the rising Willpower within his body, Su Ming explained calmly.

"Did you forget what I said this morning?

I come from Trinity Gate. The sect's records encompass all things and contain everything."

"There are also a few records concerning Twin Martial Souls, and I happened to have read them."

"Trinity Gate!" Tang San cried out.

A sect from another continent. Tang Hao supplied the rest in his mind.

The name Trinity Gate was unlikely to be fake. After all, Tang Hao had seen the jade pendant Su Ming carried with him.

As for why Su Ming knew these things?

Tang Hao guessed that they were recorded within that jade pendant.

But he did not believe Su Ming's claim of coming from another continent.

He believed it was merely an excuse used by this reclusive sect to avoid exposing itself.

As for Su Ming's claim of being the sect master, Tang Hao took it as a child's fancy.

"Twin Martial Souls are indeed extremely rare on the Douluo Continent. But on our Sun Moon Continent, there have been quite a few cases, along with many records of research on them."

He named the fabricated continent after the already existing Sun Moon Continent.

Because he had discovered that creating an entirely new continent, along with the corresponding forces, cost far too much Willpower.

A more cost-effective method was to directly modify the Sun Moon Continent.

That way, he could save the Willpower required to create a continent.

Su Ming continued his explanation at an unhurried pace. "Even if a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul possesses Soul Power, it cannot possibly have Innate Full Soul Power. Unless that Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is not an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul!"

"Blue Silver Grass is one of the lowest forms of plant life in nature, and very few can even become soul beasts. But a scholar on the Sun Moon Continent once conducted detailed research on Blue Silver Grass and eventually proposed the theory that Blue Silver Grass could evolve. He later discovered a Blue Silver King evolved from Blue Silver Grass in the wild!

"Though that Blue Silver King was a ten-thousand-year soul beast, its intelligence was no different from a human's, and it could even speak human language. Fortunately, it had a gentle temperament. Moved by the scholar's talent, it became close friends with him. Thus, some secrets regarding Blue Silver Grass were revealed..."

Su Ming had barely gotten started with his explanation.

Tang Hao believed all of it, because he had only ever heard Ah Yin mention the title Blue Silver King once.

Other than that, no one on the entire Douluo Continent knew of it.

At that moment, he fully believed Su Ming's claim that he came from the Sun Moon Continent!

Tang San, meanwhile, had been bombarded by the sheer amount of information at the very beginning and was left somewhat at a loss.
