Chapter 49

After bickering all the way to Holy Soul Village, Ye Kai activated his spiritual detection but found no sign of the legendary blind Douluo, Su Yuntao.

In all of Holy Soul Village, the only ones with soul power above level five were Ye Kai, Xiao Wu, and Tang San.

Emmm, was it already over?

Suddenly, another soul power signature entered Ye Kai's detection range. It was over level twenty and was heading toward Holy Soul Village.

Oh, so it hadn't started yet.

This also confirmed Ye Kai's speculation: Tang San's talent was really quite average.

He had merely relied on his cultivation technique to cultivate soul power ahead of time, causing the soul power he had cultivated to be mistaken for Innate Soul Power during the test.

For the people of Douluo Continent, it was simply impossible to imagine that soul power could be cultivated this way.

"Brother, what did we come here for?"

Along the way, Ye Kai had finally persuaded Xiao Wu to change how she addressed him—provided one ignored the dozen or so carrots in Xiao Wu's stomach.

Xiao Wu could not understand what Ye Kai was doing. Why had they come to another village? And why did it look like they were waiting for someone?

"Silly rabbit, didn't I tell you? I wanted to see whether there were any Work-Study Students in other villages who would be willing to go to school early and earn money."

Ye Kai poked Xiao Wu's forehead. Hadn't she been right beside him when he said that? Had she been too busy eating to listen?

The moment Xiao Wu heard Ye Kai call her a silly rabbit, she immediately got upset. She jumped up, wrapped both legs around Ye Kai's waist, and clung to him like a koala.

Ye Kai could only support Xiao Wu's legs with both hands.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu lay over Ye Kai's shoulder, grabbed one of his ears with one hand, then leaned close to his ear and shouted, "Don't call me a silly rabbit!"

"Alright, alright, my Xiao Wu isn't a silly rabbit."

Only then did Xiao Wu climb down from Ye Kai with satisfaction. Then, her face full of confusion, she asked, "What is money?"

Seeing Xiao Wu's clueless expression, Ah Yin in the Sea of Consciousness felt like her entire blade of grass was wilting.

This girl had dared leave the Star Dou Great Forest without knowing anything?

Ye Kai could only patiently explain to Xiao Wu, "Money is a kind of currency in society. It can be used to buy things."

Then he took another carrot from his Soul Tool and held it out in front of Xiao Wu.

The moment Xiao Wu saw the carrot, she excitedly sniffed and sniffed before reaching out to take it.

But Ye Kai withdrew the carrot into the Soul Tool before she could.

Seeing what Ye Kai had done, Xiao Wu pouted at him in slight dissatisfaction.

"You took it out to tempt me, but won't let me eat it. Bad brother!"

Ye Kai helplessly rubbed Xiao Wu's head.

"Once we're done in this village, I'll take you to Nuoding City to eat even better food. I'm worried you'll eat too much now and won't be able to eat anything later."

"Back to what we were discussing. If this carrot costs 1 Copper Soul Coin, then you need 1 Copper Soul Coin to buy it from a vendor. That is money. Money can buy ninety percent of things."

"As for Work-Study Students, the Junior Soul Master Academy has already waived their tuition and provides them with free dormitories. However, they have certain tasks to complete every day, and they are paid for them."

"The families of Work-Study Students are all very poor, so I came to ask whether anyone would be willing to go to Nuoding City early to earn money."

"Oh, so that's how it is~"

Xiao Wu wore the expression of someone who had suddenly understood everything.

Just then, Su Yuntao entered Holy Soul Village and had the "God King," Old Jack, gather the village children at the village's Spirit Hall.

The moment Xiao Wu saw there was something lively to watch, she immediately tugged Ye Kai forward to join the crowd.

"Xiao Wu, go on ahead. I need to take care of something."

Ye Kai held Xiao Wu back and told her to go first.

"Alright then. Brother, come find me once you're done."

Xiao Wu did not suspect a thing. They had only just arrived in Holy Soul Village—what could Ye Kai possibly have to take care of?

After watching Xiao Wu walk away, Ah Yin emerged from Ye Kai's Sea of Consciousness.

Since he lived with Old Jack, Tang San was the first child to awaken his martial soul this time.

When Ah Yin sensed that Tang San had truly awakened Blue Silver Grass with the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, her heart trembled.

Combined with the bloodline connection she sensed from Tang San, as well as the faint resonance coming from his left hand, Ah Yin confirmed that this body truly belonged to her child.

Upon hearing that Tang San possessed level ten Innate Soul Power, Ah Yin thought of Twin Martial Souls, and an "interesting" idea suddenly arose in her heart.

She wanted to viciously take revenge on the otherworldly soul that had taken over the body originally belonging to her once-in-ten-thousand-years genius child.

She remembered Ye Kai mentioning before that Tang San knew some common knowledge about the soul master world, so he surely had some understanding of level ten Innate Soul Power.

With all those strange and unusual things he possessed, it was not impossible for him to become a Titled Douluo in the future.

Since that was the case, she would shatter this otherworldly soul's dream of becoming a genius, then plunge him into deep despair and let him sink into endless pain.

The method was simple.

Now that she was still alive, there was no way the soul from another world would awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline in this lifetime. And everyone on the continent knew how slowly one could cultivate with only the Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

As for the Clear Sky Hammer, a cold glint flashed through Ah Yin's eyes.

Back when she was with Tang Hao, she had often heard him mention certain rules of the Clear Sky Sect.

She also knew that, as the sect's next designated leader, Tang Hao possessed two of the sect's greatest treasures.

But Tang Hao had first angered the previous sect leader to death, then caused the Clear Sky Sect to suffer devastating losses and be forced into seclusion.

In the end, Tang Hao himself had been expelled from the sect.

Now, because of Tang Hao's death, the two treasures had fallen into Spirit Hall's hands.

Could the Clear Sky Sect forgive the son of the man who had committed such a grave crime against the sect and lost its treasures?

For now, I'll collect a little interest from you first.

Having completed his awakening, Tang San seemed to sense something and looked in Ah Yin's direction.

Sensing that Tang San had noticed her, Ah Yin suddenly turned and pinned Ye Kai against the wall, acting like a bandit, even though trees and houses stood between them.

Tang San looked in the direction of the connection but found nothing.

After leaving Spirit Hall, Tang San scanned his surroundings and entered an empty house.

"Purple Demon Eyes."

His experiences from his previous life made Tang San trust that his senses could not be wrong. There had to be something or someone nearby drawing him in. Perhaps this was the opportunity his martial soul awakening had brought him!

Yet when Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eyes, all he saw was a blue-clad woman in palace attire, someone who felt strangely familiar and close to him, pressing a little boy against the wall and taking what she wanted.

"I never thought the nobles of this continent had ped*philes too?!"

Although he could not see Ah Yin's face, her clothing alone showed that she came from no ordinary background.

Not to mention her noble and elegant bearing, which could be recognized even from afar.

Mistaking Ah Yin for a ped*phile, Tang San instantly found the sense of closeness coming from her utterly revolting.

Who knew whether this woman had set a trap to lure him in?

Instead, she had lured someone else and been caught by him.

"Hmph, such clumsy tricks. You think that's enough to make me step into your trap? What a disgusting noble."

Tang San sneered, then deactivated his Purple Demon Eyes and returned to Spirit Hall, intending to see whether there were any children in the village worthy of becoming his subordinates in the future.
