Tang San's Fury

"Strange, where did that brat from our village run off to? Why haven't I seen him come out?

"Grandmaster Su Yuntao, have you seen that brat of mine?"

Old Tom asked Su Yuntao.

The corner of Su Yuntao's mouth twitched slightly. He was also astonished by Zu Zong. Pointing at the fair, blue-haired boy standing beside Old Tom, he said, "Old Tom, your eyesight must be failing. Zu—Zu Zong isn't he standing right behind you?" Damn it, I bit my tongue. I nearly called this kid 'ancestor.' That name is really asking for a beating.

Zu Zong tugged on Old Tom's sleeve and complained, "Grandpa Tom, I've been standing here for ages!"

Old Tom rubbed his cloudy eyes with both hands. That was indeed the brat's voice—other people's voices were not nearly so punchable—so he carefully examined Zu Zong's appearance.

Holy shit!

It really was his brat!

His hair had turned blue, and it had grown longer!

He had grown quite a bit taller, from 1.2 meters to 1.3 meters. The skin-and-bones look caused by chronic malnutrition had vanished, replaced by a slender yet upright frame. The coarse linen clothes that had once hung loosely on him now fit much more snugly, faintly outlining several lines of muscle.

His little dark face had become as pale and smooth as creamy white jade. If he had not retained some of his original features, Old Tom would have suspected Su Yuntao was fooling him.

Old Tom sighed emotionally. "So it really is possible for a pheasant to become a phoenix!"

Patting his nearly bald head, Old Tom stood tall and deliberately shouted, "Oh my! It really is the brat from our Emperor Soul Village! Kid, how did you become like this? Grandpa nearly didn't recognize you. You're much better than that kid from Holy Soul Village! Hurry up and tell Grandpa what Martial Soul you awakened."

That tone, those movements... Just look at him! Compared to Old Jack earlier, he was no less excessive. Old Jack was so angry he nearly passed out.

Zu Zong crossed his arms over his chest, tilted his gaze upward, and put on an impressively arrogant pose.

[Beep. Tang San has become jealous of the host. Hate Value has risen to: 9%. Hatred Points +100.]

Tang San: Why was it that we both had Blue Silver Grass, yet he could be reborn while I was still an ugly bastard?

Zu Zong's eyes rolled as he glanced at Tang San. It seemed he could start farming wool from him. Hatred Points were his ticket to conquering the heavens in the future.

Zu Zong said mischievously, "Grandpa Tom, unlike that Xiao San earlier, who awakened a useless Martial Soul, Grandmaster Su Yuntao said my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul mutated and became the emperor among Blue Silver Grass. It's a beneficial mutation! My body changed along with it—I became more handsome and stronger. Oh, and I also have Innate Full Soul Power!" As he spoke, he struck a muscle-flexing pose and released the Blue Silver Emperor. The surrounding spectators all revealed envious expressions.

Su Yuntao: Did I say that much? And what the hell was a beneficial mutation???

Tang San: Xiao San? Why not call me a mistress while you're at it!

Old Jack: It seems Holy Soul Village really lost to Emperor Soul Village! How infuriating.

Old Tom: Well done, brat.

Out of the corner of his eye, Zu Zong glanced at Tang San.

Come on, make your move! The moment you do, I'll hide behind Su Yuntao. I refuse to believe you can defeat a Soul Grandmaster barehanded already.

Sure enough, Tang San had already been envious and jealous upon seeing Zu Zong awaken the Blue Silver Emperor. For some reason, the frustration in his heart grew even heavier. His breathing became rapid, as though an opportunity that should have belonged to him had been forcibly stolen away—and that thought became increasingly convincing.

At last, Tang San could no longer hold back and prepared to attack Zu Zong.

[Beep. Tang San is envious and jealous of the host and has developed hatred, wanting to give the protagonist a severe beating. Hate Value has risen to: 10%. Hatred Points +100.]

The moment Zu Zong heard the notification, So you finally can't take it anymore? He immediately moved closer to Su Yuntao.

Old Jack, who was holding Tang San's arm nearby, noticed that something was wrong with him.

Old Jack:

{

Why has this child been red-faced, breathing heavily, and gritting his teeth ever since he came out? He looks like he's extremely angry!

Hm? He seems to be looking toward Grandmaster Su Yuntao's direction—at Zu Zong hiding behind Su Yuntao with a grin. Could he be blaming Grandmaster Su Yuntao for not awakening a good Martial Soul for him?

That won't do. Grandmaster Su Yuntao is from Spirit Hall, and he is a distinguished Soul Master himself. We absolutely cannot offend him.

I never would have thought that although this child is usually so sensible, his resentment runs so deep.

}

Although Old Jack was unhappy that Holy Soul Village had lost to Emperor Soul Village.

Following the principle of preventing Tang San from doing something foolish, Old Jack tightened his grip on Tang San's arm. Tang San, who had intended to attack, failed to break free at once because he was caught off guard. Yet unable to endure any longer, he did not give up and struggled with all his strength.

Tang San: I'm definitely beating up that brat Zu Zong today. Not even Xiao Wu can stop me, I said so. Hm? Who was Xiao Wu?

Old Jack: This child really is planning to attack Grandmaster Su Yuntao! Good thing this old man observed carefully and stopped him in time, or it would have been a terrible sin.

Old Jack had always been gentle with good children. Just as he had often helped support Tang San's family in the past, it was because Tang San was sensible and a good child!

But when facing a naughty child, he would never go easy when it was time to teach them a lesson.

And now, Tang San wanted to attack Grandmaster Su Yuntao—Zu Zong. Old Jack was the first to object. He summoned his ten-jin Big White Radish Martial Soul and smashed it straight into Tang San's head as Tang San struggled wildly.

Tang San was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

"How could you be so inconsiderate? Grandmaster Su Yuntao came to our Holy Soul Village to awaken our Martial Souls for free. How can you blame him just because you awakened a bad Martial Soul? If you want to blame someone, blame that useless Tang Hao."

The moment Old Tom heard Old Jack's words, he understood. Seeing that Old Jack was nearly unable to hold Tang San down alone, he hurried forward to help. Together, they forced Tang San to the ground and pinned him firmly.

Mm! When it mattered, Old Tom still loved Old Jack.

Su Yuntao watched Tang San struggle with a baffled expression, assuming the boy was merely throwing a childish tantrum. But when he heard that Tang San was actually blaming him for not awakening a good Martial Soul—

An uncle could tolerate it, but an aunt could not.

Su Yuntao immediately cursed, "You little brat, you look decent enough, and I thought you were a good child! I traveled all this way to awaken your Martial Souls for free. It would have been one thing if you didn't know how to repay me, but you actually wanted to attack me? I've never seen such a wild child!"

Zu Zong, hiding behind Su Yuntao, had never expected things to develop this far. He nearly burst out laughing like a pig and chimed in, "Exactly! Xiao San, how can you blame Grandmaster Su Yuntao? That's completely unreasonable. Everyone's Martial Soul is innate. Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice know how to dig holes. Of course, I'm not saying you were born from a mouse—no, wait, you were born from a mouse—no, you weren't born from a mouse... Ah, you've completely confused me!"

Half of Tang San's face was pressed against the ground. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared fixedly at Zu Zong like a man-eating beast. He was so furious that he could not speak, and only after a long while did he force out a sentence. "You... I'll kill you."

[Beep. Tang San's hatred for the host has deepened. He wants to bite off a piece of the protagonist's flesh. Hate Value has risen to: 11%. Hatred Points +100.]

[Beep. Tang San's hatred for the host has deepened. He wants to immediately make a "Silent Sleeve Arrow" and shoot off the protagonist's little brother. Hate Value has risen to: 12%. Hatred Points +100.]

The system notifications in his mind made Zu Zong, hiding behind Su Yuntao, break out in a cold sweat. My god, that's vicious! He actually wants to make me childless. Luckily, he hasn't made the Silent Sleeve Arrow yet, or I'd be in danger. Fine! I might as well go all the way and add more fuel to the fire.
