Tang Hao was lazy by nature, fond of food and idleness, and an outright drunkard who drank himself into a stupor every day.
As a result, though he was a man in his prime, Tang Hao's home was utterly destitute. Aside from that blacksmith shop, there was practically nothing else.
Even in the small Holy Soul Village, such a poor household was exceedingly rare.
Yet Tang Hao was content with the status quo and had no desire to improve himself. He did nothing but drink all day and paid no attention to his home.
During the family's most impoverished days, they had survived only through Old Jack's aid.
Such poverty made Old Jack worry not only about Xiao Tang San's future life.
That was why, for this Spirit Awakening Ceremony, he had personally gone to find the detestable Tang Hao and persuaded him to let Xiao Tang San take part in the ceremony.
"Xiao San, remember, once we get there, you must perform well. You must make that Great Soul Master satisfied with you."
"A Great Soul Master?"
Confusion flashed through Tang San's large eyes.
"Grandpa Jack, what is a Great Soul Master?"
"A Great Soul Master is one of the titles for a Soul Master. Soul Masters are the noblest profession on our Douluo Continent. They are either powerful warriors or possess exceptional support abilities."
"But no matter what kind of Soul Master they are, their ranks are ordered according to the same titles."
"All Soul Masters possess their own Martial Soul Power. Based on their differing Martial Soul Power, they can be divided into ten titles."
"And each title encompasses ten levels."
"The ten titles are Soul Scholar, Soul Master, Great Soul Master, Soul Elder, Soul Ancestor, Soul King, Soul Emperor, Soul Sage, Soul Douluo, and Titled Douluo."
