"This ring's storage space was actually this huge!"
"And there were so many Gold Soul Coins inside!"
"Good heavens, he really was a tycoon!"
"That damned Tang Hao was clearly so rich, yet he lived like this."
"Still, it was a good thing I bravely took that step. I cursed him awake and got this ring and all this money."
"With these, there was even less reason for me to take Yu Xiaogang as my master. The Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night was nothing but trash compared to this ring."
"And there were so many books in here that I didn't even need to attend a junior Soul Master Academy!"
"With my old man, a Titled Douluo, and all the novels I read in my previous life, I could develop Blue Silver Grass far more thoroughly."
Tang San's Spiritual Power entered the ring, and he was stunned by what he saw inside.
The Storage Ring had at least a hundred cubic meters of space.
It was truly enormous!
It was filled with densely packed Copper Soul Coins, Silver Soul Coins, and Gold Soul Coins.
Aside from that, there was a pile of books.
There was nothing else.
Moreover, it was filled with the aura of life.
The scent of Blue Silver Grass was especially rich.
With this money, he would never need to worry about finances again.
He could focus more fully on cultivation.
This was good news, and it proved that going all out this time had been the right decision.
"Tang Hao, this is one form of compensation from you. I wonder what the rest will be?"
"From now on, I can buy more food, purchase medicinal materials for Medicinal Baths, and cultivate alongside the Mysterious Heaven Skill. I need to restore my foundation as much as possible."
Tang San already had a perfect plan in mind.
Tang Hao returned the next morning.
He was different from the day before.
His scruffy beard had been shaved off, he had changed into a brand-new set of clothes, and the smell of alcohol was gone. He looked incredibly refreshed.
After feeling ashamed all night, he had completely awakened. Determined to properly raise his son Tang San, he flew to Nuoding City overnight, bought a new set of clothes, rented a room, took a thorough bath, shaved off his scruffy beard, and started anew.
He also bought a large amount of meat and supplements, which he placed in his Storage Ring.
He entered the house and came to the cramped room. Tang San was asleep, while books on Martial Souls, Soul Beasts, Soul Rings, and knowledge of this world lay by the bed.
He froze when he saw those books.
He remembered that these books had originally been stored inside Ah Yin's ring.
Now, they had finally seen the light of day again.
He set down the books, turned, and left, carefully closing the door behind him.
An hour later, Tang San woke up.
After reading those books last night, his excellent memory had already committed them all to heart.
His head felt swollen from absorbing so much knowledge at once.
At the same time, he had become even more certain about what kind of Soul Beast's Soul Ring he should absorb for his Blue Silver Grass First Soul Ring.
He got up, opened the door, and walked out.
Then he froze.
The once filthy, messy house had become clean and tidy. A clean and neatly dressed man was placing freshly prepared dishes on the table.
There was meat, vegetables, and soup.
None of it was ordinary food. It had all been specially prepared to nourish the body.
"Dad..." Tang San was stunned.
He had never expected Tang Hao to change so much after being cursed by him.
It truly startled him.
This was a side of him that could never have been seen in the Original Work.
He had not expected such an unexpected gain.
"Little San, thank you for cursing me awake. I've decided that from today onward, your old man will start anew. Son, I'll raise you properly."
"Go wash up, then come eat."
Tang Hao revealed a rare smile. He looked intently at Tang San, and a trace of gratification flashed through his eyes.
For the first time, Tang San felt a father's love.
It made everything he had done feel even more worthwhile.
"Okay."
Tang San nodded, quickly washed up, and then came to eat.
"Dad, I know you definitely aren't an ordinary person. I also read about the Clear Sky Hammer in those books..."
"The Clear Sky Hammer is the number one Tool Martial Soul on the continent, one of the finest Tool Martial Souls. Since it could exist alongside my other Martial Soul, that meant my Blue Silver Grass wasn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass either. It had to be a top-tier type as well, though its bloodline was still restricted by various factors and had yet to truly awaken..."
"Dad, am I right?"
Tang San tested the waters as he ate.
Hearing this, Tang Hao's hand paused slightly as he held his chopsticks, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
He had not expected his son to deduce this much from books and his Twin Martial Souls.
He fell silent for a moment, as though weighing something. In the end, he slowly nodded, his expression turning solemn and profound.
"You're right." Tang Hao's voice was deep and firm. "Your Blue Silver Grass is not ordinary Blue Silver Grass. It was inherited from your mother. It is the Emperor among Plant System Martial Souls: the Blue Silver Emperor."
"Blue Silver Emperor..." Although Tang San already knew, he still revealed a shocked expression to play along.
"Can you tell me about Mom? What kind of woman was she?" Tang San asked.
Tang Hao's gaze became distant, filled with deep longing and pain. "Your mother... she was a gentle yet powerful woman. Her Martial Soul was the Blue Silver Emperor. Back then... for certain reasons, she was forced to sacrifice herself... to save the lives of you and me."
At this point, he did not explain who their enemy was. Tang San was still too weak, and knowing too much would do him no good.
"Dad, can I skip studying at Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy?"
"With you and those books, I can teach myself completely."
Tang San spoke up.
He did not want to come into contact with Yu Xiaogang.
However, Tang Hao shook his head. "No, you must go. You're a child and need to meet more peers and see more of the world. The benefits outweigh the drawbacks for you. I won't be going with you then. Village Chief Old Jack will take you, and I've already spoken to him."
"Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy will begin in three months. Those three months will be just enough time to nourish your body and lay a better foundation for absorbing Soul Rings later."
"Your strength is still too low right now, and you can't withstand that powerful force of awakening. Once you reach a certain level and I think you're ready, I'll take you somewhere to truly awaken your Blue Silver Emperor bloodline."
Tang Hao said, "There's no need to rush your First Soul Ring. Focus on building your foundation first."
"Alright, then." Tang San nodded.
He also remembered Xiao Wu, that Hundred Thousand Year Rabbit Spirit.
He absolutely could not let someone else take her.
If he did not go, he would have no way to approach her.
He was not generous enough to hand over a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone to someone else.
So he had to make a trip to the academy. As for Yu Xiaogang, hmph, he was merely trash and nothing to worry about.
Over the following days, Tang San officially entered a proper cultivation routine.
As before, the moment the sun rose, he went to the highest point of the Back Mountain to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eye. For the rest of the day, he studied Hammer Technique under Tang Hao to temper his body. Besides that, he sparred with Tang Hao to hone his combat experience.
He also combined Medicinal Baths with nutritional meals. At night, he sat cross-legged on his bed and cultivated his Soul Power.
As the days accumulated.
His body gradually recovered and grew stronger. His blood and vitality became abundant, he was full of energy, and he even grew taller.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
