After a long while, as if he had accepted the fact, Tang Hao let out a sigh and said nothing more.

When Tang Hao did not reply, Tang San continued after a moment.

"Dad, I want to study at Nuoding Junior Spirit Academy. If I can become a Soul Master..."

"No. If you leave..."

After Tang San revealed his Twin Martial Souls, he became Tang Hao's good son, and Tang Hao agreed to let him attend the academy.

Twin Martial Souls and Innate Level Eight Soul Power—he was already exceptionally talented!

"Who else knows that you have Twin Martial Souls?"

Tang Hao crouched halfway down, pressing both hands against Tang San's shoulders as he demanded sternly.

Before Tang San had fully grown, he would not allow anyone to know that Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls!

Tang Hao's sudden severity caught Tang San off guard, but he felt warmth in his heart at Tang Hao's concern. He answered honestly.

"When my Martial Soul awakened, I kept my left hand behind my back. The person who helped awaken my Martial Soul did not notice..."

At that point, Tang San seemed to recall something. His expression changed instantly, and his face turned extremely grim.

Yes, Su Yuntao had not seen it. But there had not been no one behind him at the time!

That fellow who had awakened Innate Full Soul Power had been standing behind him and had seen everything clearly!

Blinded by rage at the time, he had forgotten about that. Now that Tang San recalled the look in Zhu Rong's eyes, wasn't it clearly saying, "I know your secret!"

"Little San, what is it?"

Tang Hao asked doubtfully. Why had Tang San's face become so ugly in the middle of speaking? Had he been exposed back then?

"Dad, the person who helped awaken my Martial Soul doesn't know that I have Twin Martial Souls."

Tang San paused before continuing.

"However, Zhu Rong, who was standing behind me, should have seen it! I had my left hand behind my back, and he was the only one behind me!"

"Zhu Rong? Old Jack's grandson?"

"Yes, him!"

After receiving Tang San's confirmation, Tang Hao's gaze instantly turned sharp.

"Dad, that kid awakened a Mutated Sword Martial Soul, and he has Innate Full Soul Power..."

"What?"

Tang Hao could not help crying out. He nearly failed to control his aura, almost tearing the thatched cottage apart.

He had never expected that little brat Tang San beat up every day to possess such talent!

Tang Hao's cry startled Tang San. When he had revealed his Twin Martial Souls, Tang Hao had not reacted nearly so strongly.

Were a Mutated Sword Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power really that powerful?

"I won't be at peace until this child is eliminated!"

Zhu Rong's talent was too great—so great that Tang Hao wished to eliminate him immediately!

A sword Martial Soul capable of awakening Innate Full Soul Power—how weak could it possibly be?

Even though Tang Hao was confident that the Clear Sky Hammer was the greatest weapon Martial Soul in the world, he did not dare gamble on Zhu Rong's future achievements.

And Zhu Rong knew Tang San's secret. He had to die!

"Little San, finish the task I gave you first. I'm going out."

After saying that, Tang Hao left the house.

Tang Hao had not merely thought, I won't be at peace until this child is eliminated.

Tang San had truly heard it!

At that moment, his entire body shuddered!

"I never expected my father in this life to be a reclusive expert!"

"Zhu Rong's talent is that strong? Strong enough that even a powerhouse like Father wants to eliminate him immediately?"

"Heh, so what if he is strong? Only a genius who grows up is truly a genius! Zhu Rong, Zhu Rong, I had planned to kill you later at the academy. Who would have thought I wouldn't have to wait that long..."

In just over ten seconds, Tang San thought of many things, and his expression shifted constantly.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally picked up the hammer and iron block beside him and began completing the task Tang Hao had assigned.

An unprecedented smile appeared on his face. It was the first time Tang San had ever smiled so happily!

The scene shifted. After Zhu Rong and Old Jack returned home, a hearty lunch appeared on the table with Zhu Rong's help.

After the meal, Zhu Rong found an excuse to leave and came alone to the place where he usually got "beaten up."

This was also where Tang San cultivated every day.

Judging by the time, he should be nearby, right?

Zhu Rong thought to himself.

His spiritual power could cover an area roughly twenty meters around him. Given Tang Hao's cultivation, even if Tang Hao stood right beside him, Zhu Rong would be unable to lock onto him with spiritual power alone.

Zhu Rong had found an excuse to leave home and come to where Tang San usually cultivated precisely to set Tang Hao up!

After Tang San returned, Tang Hao would definitely ask who else knew Tang San had Twin Martial Souls...

"Hm? What is this? A warning from my Martial Souls?"

Zhu Rong was stunned! He had not expected the three Martial Souls he received from the system to all be warning him of danger!

Even when Tang San had openly shown killing intent toward him, they had not reacted at all!

Yet now, all of them were warning him of danger!

Didn't that mean Tang San could only rage helplessly and posed no threat to Zhu Rong?

But the person harboring killing intent toward him now was different!

"As expected, my guess was right. Tang San, Tang San, just wait. In the future, even if I beat you up right in front of Tang Hao, he'll say I did well!"

With that thought, Zhu Rong no longer hesitated. What if Tang Hao had no sense of fair play and did not even give him a chance to perform? Wouldn't he be done for?

Zhu Rong put on a dazed, dispirited look, glancing east and west.

Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, had just been about to strike and eliminate Zhu Rong when he noticed something was off.

This kid had just awakened a Mutated Sword Martial Soul and possessed Innate Full Soul Power. Why was he acting like this?

Even so, Zhu Rong still had to be eliminated.

"Kid, blame yourself for knowing too much!"

After Zhu Rong "saw" that no one was on the mountaintop, he plopped down on the ground and muttered to himself.

"Tang San, Tang San, why? Why do I have the same Martial Soul as you?"

Boom!

Zhu Rong's words made Tang Hao, who was just about to act, shudder from head to toe and freeze. It was like a bolt from a clear sky had struck his mind, leaving him utterly stunned!

"For two years, I challenged you for two whole years! And you beat me up for two years..."

"When our Martial Souls awakened, I saw that hammer you kept behind your back."

"Two Martial Souls, Innate Level Eight. I thought I would never have a chance to truly take revenge."

"But I awakened the Blade of Sanction and have Innate Full Soul Power! My talent surpasses yours. I will definitely be able to take revenge!"

"But why? Why did I awaken the exact same hammer as you?"

As he spoke, Zhu Rong seemed moved by emotion. He lightly clenched his left hand, and the copied Clear Sky Hammer appeared in it.

Boom—

Tang Hao was dumbfounded!

"The Clear Sky Hammer! This brat... this child actually has Twin Martial Souls too, and he is a disciple of my Clear Sky Sect! I almost killed the hope of the Clear Sky Sect's rise?"

Tang Hao was completely stunned. Didn't he know exactly what the Clear Sky Hammer looked like? What Zhu Rong held in his left hand was unmistakably the Clear Sky Hammer!

"That damned bastard! He actually threw the child away to such a distant place! Fortunately, I, Tang Hao, am here. Otherwise, if this child fell into the hands of Spirit Hall or another force, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

A Mutated Sword Martial Soul plus the Clear Sky Hammer, with Innate Full Soul Power—after a few decades, this child might reach the realm of his grandfather, Tang Chen!
