Journey to the Spirit Hall Branch

Journey to the Spirit Hall Branch

After Xiao Wu and Yin Hao returned, they pushed their two beds together that very night under everyone's astonished gazes, then laid down the bedding and slept in the same bed.

Early the next morning, Yu Xiaogang called Tang San out. The reason, of course... was to help Tang San obtain his first soul ring. Although Tang San only had Innate Level Nine Soul Power because of Yin Hao, after three months of cultivation, he had also reached Level Ten.

For some reason, Yu Xiaogang had also planned to take Yin Hao along to hunt soul beasts, but Yin Hao refused.

Yu Xiaogang had not originally intended to help Yin Hao obtain a soul ring. He was not his disciple, so why should he help? But last night, Tang Hao had suddenly come to his room and delivered a shocking piece of news: "Tang San and Yin Hao are both my sons."

Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded when he heard this. He could accept Tang San being Tang Hao's son, since he was surnamed Tang and possessed the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul. But Yin Hao was also his son... Are you sure you haven't been cheated on?

However, Tang Hao's tone had been utterly certain, leaving him afraid to ask further questions. Tang Hao then instructed Yu Xiaogang to look after his two sons before leaving behind a token and departing.

Only after he left did Yu Xiaogang pick up the token. One look, and it was actually a Pope Token! Yu Xiaogang, who had once spent some time in Spirit City, knew all too well the status of a Pope Token. He hurriedly put it away with a smile.

If Yin Hao had known about this, he would definitely have been surprised. Not by Tang Hao's words, but by the fact that Tang Hao, who should have come to find Yu Xiaogang a year later, had appeared a year early. This must be the legendary Butterfly Effect, right?

Returning to the matter at hand, when Yu Xiaogang came to find Tang San that morning to help him obtain a soul ring, he remembered Tang Hao's request and decided to help Yin Hao obtain one as well.

But as a transmigrator, Yin Hao knew Yu Xiaogang's strength all too well. Go with him? Forget about being protected by him—he should thank the heavens if Yu Xiaogang did not hold him back. How could Yin Hao possibly go with him?

After refusing Yu Xiaogang, Yin Hao planned to use the token Su Yuntao had given him and see whether he could ask him for help obtaining a soul ring. If Su Yuntao was unwilling, then Yin Hao could only spend his few remaining Gold Soul Coins to hire a soul hunting team.

On his way to Spirit Hall, Yin Hao also bought several bottles of medicine for treating external injuries and snake venom. He planned to "trade" those bottles to Yu Xiaogang and Tang San after they returned. That would be another bit of income, hahaha!

Before long, Yin Hao arrived at the entrance to Spirit Hall, only to be stopped by two guards.

"Kid, this is Spirit Hall, not a place to play. You should go play somewhere else."

Hearing the two men's words, Yin Hao calmly took out the token Su Yuntao had given him earlier and said,

"Uncles, I came to see Brother Su Yuntao. This is the token he gave me before. Please take a look."

Before the two guards could respond, a woman's voice sounded from behind him.

"You came to see Su Yuntao?"

The two guards hurriedly bowed upon hearing the voice.

"Miss Si Si."

Yin Hao turned around and saw a woman in purple stockings standing behind him. Her skin was fair and her features defined. Though she was not a peerless beauty, she was still quite pretty.

So she's Si Si? The goddess of that blind Titled Douluo. She looks pretty good... Yin Hao thought.

But the instant Si Si saw Yin Hao, her eyes lit up. She stepped forward, stroked his face, and said,

"What a beautiful little boy. What's your name?"

Yin Hao was rendered speechless by her immediately touching his face, but he did not show it and simply said,

"Hello, Sister. My name is Yin Hao."

"Yin Hao, come on, Little Brother Yin Hao. Tell your sister, what do you need Su Yuntao for?"

Yin Hao lowered his head slightly, putting on the appearance of a child—though he actually was one—and said,

"My Soul Power has reached Level Ten, and I need a soul ring. But I'm too scared to go to Soul Hunting Forest alone, so I came to ask Brother Su Yuntao for help..."

Seeing Yin Hao like this, Si Si's heart nearly melted from how adorable he was. She pinched his cheek and said with a smile,

"Then how about Sister takes you inside?"

Yin Hao raised his head, his Peach Blossom Eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Si Si.

"Thank you, Sister..."

Si Si then stood up, took Yin Hao's little hand, and led him into Spirit Hall.

This time, the guards did not stop him.

Inside, Su Yuntao was speaking with an old man in his seventies. When he saw Si Si enter, he hurriedly stood up and revealed a flattering smile.

"Si Si, you're back."

"Mm."

Si Si nodded, then said to Su Yuntao,

"This little brother says he came to ask you to help him obtain his first soul ring, so I brought him in. What do you say?"

Su Yuntao looked at Yin Hao. He still had some impression of him—the owner of a useless martial soul with Innate Full Soul Power. It was the first time in his life he had ever seen such a thing.

At the time, he had only given Yin Hao a token on a whim and had not truly intended to help him with anything. But... Si Si had brought him in herself. He could not possibly refuse his goddess's request, could he?

With that thought, Su Yuntao said,

"I see. Then I'll pack up and help him."

Si Si nodded and prepared to leave.

Just as she turned around, Su Yuntao spoke again.

"Si Si, when I get back, can I treat you to a meal?"

Si Si paused for a moment before saying,

"We'll talk about it when you get back."

Though he had not received a definite answer, Su Yuntao was already happy enough that she had not rejected him. Now, he could not wait to help Yin Hao obtain his soul ring and hurry back to see his goddess.

At that moment, Ma Xiuno, the master of Notting City's Spirit Hall branch who had been standing nearby, spoke up.

"Child, you have Innate Full Soul Power, right? Can you release your martial soul for Grandpa to see?"

After Su Yuntao had finished dealing with the martial soul awakening ceremonies and returned to the branch earlier, he had also told Ma Xiuno about Yin Hao. After hearing it, Ma Xiuno had become quite interested in this child with Innate Full Soul Power and a Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

Yin Hao nodded, then stretched out his right hand. A stalk of Blue Silver Grass with golden patterns appeared in his palm.

Seeing the appearance of the Blue Silver Grass, Ma Xiuno froze for a moment.

"This is... Blue Silver Grass? Has it mutated?"

As he examined Yin Hao's martial soul, the old man in his seventies occasionally let out questions, looking every bit like a curious child.

Su Yuntao was getting a little impatient. I'm in a hurry to come back and go on a date with my goddess. Aren't you delaying the most important matter of my life? Of course, he could not say that aloud.

"Grandmaster Ma Xiuno, he's in a hurry to obtain his first soul ring. Please don't delay him any longer."

Ma Xiuno was slightly taken aback. On second thought, that did seem reasonable, so he said,

"Very well, then this old man will make the trip with you."
