Tang Hao's Suspicions

After Yu Xiaogang carefully finished his inspection and exploration, the moon was already high in the sky. The entire Holy Soul Village was silent except for a few barks of dogs. After the world quieted down, Yu Xiaogang's perception was amplified infinitely, and he could feel a very familiar aura.

It was filled with Destruction, murderous, and evil aura, a mixture of several strange Soul Power. That must be Tang Hao, right? Just like when he fled back to the Dragon Gate Sect to seek my help, it felt even more serious. The chaotic divine power remnants of his cultivation god had completely merged with his own Soul Power.

Beside Tang Hao, there was an aura that gave him an even stranger feeling, extremely awkward. In Yu Xiaogang's perception, it vaguely revealed a kind of paranoia and madness, and was also very strange. The soul and Mental Power gave people a strong feeling, but it was very superficial, and the life aura was very weak.

It seems that Tang San unintentionally had his soul and consciousness completely corrupted by the power of the God of Asura without my secret help. Tomorrow I'll go and test the true nature of this unchanged Tang San.

Yu Xiaogang stood quietly atop the mountain, his sharp eyes fixed on Holy Soul Village, waiting for the sun to rise and a new day to begin.

While still asleep, Tang San felt a chill run through his body. His thin hands gripped the patched and worn-out quilt tightly. It was Old Jack, seeing that Tang Hao completely ignored Tang San, felt sorry for the frail Tang San and gave him his own quilt.

These past few days have been the happiest time for Tang San. His father, Tang Hao, finally hugged him for the first time. He also awakened the unprecedented Twin Martial Souls in the history of the Douluo Continent and was going to teach him the legendary blacksmithing technique Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

Unlike Tang San, Tang Hao was still staring blankly into his cloudy eyes, which had become clouded from frequent drinking. He didn't know if the child he had was his and Ah Yin's son, even though he had personally delivered the baby.

Although Tang Hao was immersed in grief over the loss of his beloved wife, he had no time to care about the newborn Tang San. He found a family and spent Gold Soul Coin to solve the problem of raising Tang San.

However, after Tang Hao and his son wandered to the remote village of Holy Soul Village in the Douluo Continent, they had spent all their Gold Soul Coin and were in a daze. Fortunately, that day, Old Jack was digesting his food at the village entrance after dinner when he saw the disheveled Tang Hao with a small child and took them in out of kindness.

Knowing that Tang Hao was skilled in blacksmithing and that the old blacksmith from Holy Soul Village had gone to the big city to enjoy life with his son, Tang Hao settled down here with his newborn son Tang San.

However, Tang Hao soon noticed his son's unusual behavior. After turning one year old, his son showed a maturity unlike that of ordinary children. To put it nicely, he was mature; to put it bluntly, he was taciturn and never played with the children of Holy Soul Village.

Every morning, he would run to a remote hilltop in Holy Soul Village and, without any instruction, assume a cultivation posture. Tang San subconsciously noticed this difference from the other children and became suspicious.

So before Tang San's martial soul awakened, Tang Hao completely ignored him. He felt like a failure, unable to protect his beloved wife. Now, his son seemed to have been replaced by some unknown thing.

After all, Tang Hao had been watching Tang San practice the Tang Sect's unique skills the whole time. He had never taught his son such sophisticated Self-Created Soul Skill, nor had he ever seen anyone explain how his son Tang San came to have these mysterious Self-Created Soul Skill. This had always been a thorn in Tang Hao's side.

So, after his beloved wife's death and his son's strange behavior, Tang Hao completely gave up, spending his days drowning his sorrows in alcohol and immersing himself in the happy times he had with Ah Yin, completely neglecting Tang San and becoming a lazy drunkard.

This did not distance Tang San from his irresponsible father, Tang Hao. On the contrary, he took even better care of Tang Hao, this good-for-nothing, without any complaints. This made Old Jack despise Tang Hao, his good-for-nothing father, even more. Old Jack was also the most awesome ordinary old man in the Douluo Continent who dared to point his finger at Titled Douluo and curse him.

However, all of this changed completely on the day Tang San's martial soul awakened. At first, when Tang San returned to show his awakened martial soul, Tang Hao just asked casually and found that it was just an ordinary, unawakened Blue Silver Emperor. Thinking that the Blue Silver Emperor didn't have much attack power, he lost interest.

Although his son had been a bit strange since childhood, Tang Hao made up his mind the moment he saw the Blue Silver Emperor, which looked exactly like Ah Yin. He decided that it would be better for Tang San to live a peaceful life as a blacksmith in Holy Soul Village, completely away from the treacherous Soul Master World.

However, Tang Hao was completely shocked when Tang San revealed that he had another Martial Soul. According to the records of the Clear Sky Sect, there was a person on the Douluo Continent who possessed Twin Martial Souls. Although he died on the way, his powerful strength was unmatched among his peers, which was obvious to all. Bibi Dong was still hiding the fact that she had Twin Martial Souls.

This rekindled Tang Hao's long-dormant desire for revenge. He had been severely injured during the Spirit Hall Pope's pursuit, and was further traumatized by Ah Yin's forced sacrifice and Tang San's strange behavior. For many days, he had been drinking to numb himself and neglecting to heal his injuries.

The serious injury, which had been dragged on for six years, had become an irreversible hidden injury. He could not exert 70% of his strength and would become a one-hit monster, at which point the hidden injury would erupt and cause further damage.

With Twin Martial Souls, one wielding the Blue Silver Emperor and the other the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao saw an opportunity to take revenge on the Spirit Hall, especially since Tang San had inherited his and Ah Yin's bloodline and he had already accepted Tang San as his son.

After all, the simplest way to tell if someone is your descendant in the Douluo Continent is to see if their Martial Soul Awakening and whether they have inherited their parents' Martial Soul. When Tang Hao first showed Tang San his fatherly side, he deeply moved Tang San, whose mind had been distorted by the power of the God of Asura due to a lack of love.

That night, Tang Hao thought a lot. He planned to slowly pass on some of his skills to Tang San over the next three months, and do some things that he hadn't done before. Tang Hao could start settling accounts with the Spirit Hall.

He could also draw the Spirit Hall's attention to himself, allowing Tang San to cultivate and grow in peace. This would be his way of making amends to his incompetent father status.

"Tang! Hao!"

"Who?!"

Tang Hao was about to drift off to sleep, became alert the moment he heard his name called. He let out a low shout, intending to unleash his Martial Soul Spirit Ring, but he suppressed it when he thought of his son Tang San next door.

Tang Hao vanished from the dilapidated room in an instant, and soon arrived at a small hill outside Holy Soul Village, following the unfamiliar Mental Power imprint he sensed. With a solemn expression, he looked at the mysterious and handsome young man with his back to him and asked again, "May I ask which Titled Douluo are? What brings Your Excellency here? I have been out of the Soul Master World for a long time and no longer concern myself with its affairs."

Although Tang Hao said that, the gleaming blue lightning of his Clear Sky Hammer and the oppressive Spirit Ring around it were not as harmonious as he described. Yu Xiaogang's lips twitched slightly; he really did one thing and did another. His words were nice, but he had already picked up his weapon, ready to attack at any moment.

"Tang Hao, you've changed so much. You're no longer the Tang Hao, Haotian Douluo, I know. What made you so dejected?"

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he slowly turned around, his eyes filled with nostalgia as he looked at the disheveled Tang Hao in front of him.

An unprecedentedly powerful spiritual pressure, filled with the might of Dragon Might, directly forced Tang Hao's Martial Soul and Spirit Ring back. This caused Tang Hao's expression to change drastically, and he retreated repeatedly, sweating profusely, cautiously saying:

"I don't know which senior is making a joke on me, I have never met any senior."

"That's true. After all, the worlds are different. Although the names and everything else are so similar, they are not the same person. You will know in the future that I came here today just to see the once famous Clear Sky Douluo. Ah Yin is not dead yet. How can you treat Ah Yin like this?"

"What!!!"

I'm currently traveling in Chaoshan and don't have a computer, so please forgive any typos. I'll correct them all when I get home. Why doesn't the mobile version have the "encircle" function?
