Old Jack Was Delighted, Jerry Was Depressed

Old Jack had been waiting outside for Su Yuntao. When he saw Su Yuntao come out, he hurried forward and asked, "Lord Soul Master, how many children awakened Soul Power this year?"

"Two. One is called Tang San. He has Innate Full Soul Power, but unfortunately, his Martial Soul is the useless Blue Silver Grass."

"The other is your grandson. His Martial Soul is the same as yours, a carrot, and he has Innate Half-Level Soul Power. As long as he has Soul Power, he can cultivate. Congratulations. I still need to visit the neighboring village, so I'll be leaving first." With that, Su Yuntao hurried away.

"Wonderful! Our family finally has someone with Soul Power."

"Little Jerry, you must cultivate diligently from now on. You're the first person in our family to have Soul Power. Grandpa believes you can definitely become a Soul Master."

Jerry really wanted to say, "Grandpa, you're happy too soon!" But looking at Grandpa Jack's shining eyes, he could not bring himself to say anything.

Maybe Grandpa did not know how difficult it was to cultivate with Innate Half-Level Soul Power. Yu Xiaogang had reached level 29 only because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had abundant resources. I'm just a village child with no resources. It's uncertain whether I can even reach level ten in this lifetime.

Seeing Old Jack's hopeful expression, Jerry's heart suddenly stirred. "Grandpa, I'll definitely cultivate diligently."

"What good children. Little San, Jerry, in three months, I'll personally take you two to Nuoding Academy. You've grown up together since childhood, so you must support each other in the future!"

Hearing Grandpa say that made Jerry feel even worse.

Tang San clearly had a cultivation method and could cultivate Innate Soul Power, yet he would not give it to me.

I thought a system would appear when my Martial Soul awakened, but there was nothing. I still ended up with a carrot and Innate Half-Level Soul Power. This is too hard!

I can't let Grandpa Jack down. I still have my own advantages. I know the future plot—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Immortal Herbs.

Right, Immortal Herbs can change my talent. But how could I get one?

If I went there now, I'd probably die the moment I entered Sunset Forest. Maybe Tang San could share one with me after he gets the Immortal Herbs in the future... Jerry glanced at Tang San. I'm thinking too much.

As the gap in cultivation grew, his relationship with Tang San would probably become more and more distant. Jerry could see that clearly.

This is too hard for me! Other transmigrators get all kinds of Martial Souls and have all kinds of fun. Why am I so miserable? I only know the plot and can't interfere at all. I don't even have the strength to steal opportunities!

Sigh, I'll think of a way later. First, I need to go to the academy and study.

After returning home, he summoned his Martial Soul. It was a fresh carrot with several leaves on top, identical in appearance to Old Jack's.

But there was a slight difference. He could sense a faint trace of Soul Power.

That trace of Soul Power seemed to activate the Martial Soul. The Martial Soul was drawing in the Soul Power from the air on its own. Though it was very slow, he could still feel it!

After Martial Soul Awakening, a Martial Soul would automatically absorb Soul Power from the air.

The higher one's Innate Soul Power, the faster the absorption. A Meditation Method could further speed up the absorption of Soul Power. As one grew older, the Martial Soul's absorption of Soul Power would slow down. That was why the years before thirty were the golden period for Martial Soul cultivation.

Looking at the carrot before him, he picked it up and decided to see how it tasted compared to Grandpa's. He took a bite. It was crisp and sweet, with a slight effect of restoring stamina. This was an effect Old Jack's Martial Soul did not have!

It also seemed extremely filling. After eating half of it, he already felt full. It had no other effects at all.

Forget it. No more experiments. He would look through some professional knowledge after getting to the academy.

That night, Old Jack returned. At first, he had been overjoyed, telling everyone in the village that two people had awakened Soul Power this year.

But after going to Tang Hao's house, he came back fuming.

After asking around, Jerry learned that Old Jack had argued with Tang Hao again. Tang Hao would not allow Little San to cultivate. Jerry said nothing, because he knew Tang Hao would change his mind the next day after learning that Tang San had Twin Martial Souls.

"Dad, does that mean you agree to let me cultivate?" Tang San asked happily.

"Yes. Remember, use your hammer to protect your Blue Silver Grass in the future," Tang Hao said.

"Okay, Dad!" Tang San answered readily.

But that was not how it would be in the future. The Blue Silver Grass would crack, be burned by fire, and frozen by ice, while the hammer would be completely fine. It was clearly the Blue Silver Grass protecting the hammer. Tang Hao, you got it backward!

"Oh, right, Dad. Jerry has Soul Power too!"

"Oh? That little fellow isn't bad. What's his situation?"

"His Martial Soul is a carrot, and he has Innate Half-Level Soul Power."

"Pfft, that really is rare. Old Jack's family has finally produced someone with Soul Power. Innate Half-Level Soul Power... Old Jack will probably be disappointed in the future!" As he spoke, his eyes were filled with amusement.

"Is Innate Half-Level Soul Power very difficult to cultivate, Dad?"

"Difficult. Very difficult."

"Can we help him?"

"How could we help? Talent is predetermined. It can't be changed."

"Why are you thinking about so much now?"

"Can Spirit Hall help him? But the Soul Master who performed the awakening rejected Jerry."

"Spirit Hall? They aren't stupid. With Innate Half-Level Soul Power, nobody would want him!" As he said this, a trace of hatred appeared in Tang Hao's eyes.

Tang San had been thinking about Jerry's situation the whole time, so he did not notice.

"Little San, don't think too much. You two are destined to belong to different worlds in the future."

"I understand, Dad!"

Meanwhile, Jerry trained his body even harder.

After learning that his carrot could restore stamina, he worked even more diligently. Over the past few days, Jerry had also discovered that his Spiritual Power was slowly growing stronger day by day. Perhaps it was because of possessing this body.

Jerry's Spiritual Power had been strong from the start. After Martial Soul Awakening, it increased further, which was why Jerry could feel the change so clearly.

"Little San, let's duel!"

"Why?"

"My training is working really well now. I want to beat you up while I still can. Otherwise, once we start cultivating, I won't have another chance!"

"What gave you the illusion that you can beat me? Those muscles all over your body?"

"Judging by your body type, you're just a weakling."

"I'll just say this: you can't catch me."

"If you have the guts, stop running and fight me head-on!"

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"If I say you're stupid, will you agree to stand there and fight without running?"

"I can't be bothered with you. Catch me first if you can."

Tang San had spent so much time with Jerry that Jerry had completely led him astray. His words were now sharp and cutting at every turn!

Tang San truly did not want to fight Jerry. The internal cultivation method he practiced was weaker than external cultivation in the early stages. Jerry was built like a young calf now. Standing still and fighting him would clearly be asking for suffering!

Tang San knew that Jerry had always practiced punching and kicking. He had even made a sandbag before. Although Jerry did not know any martial arts, he simply punched hard and kicked hard.

Yesterday, Tang San had personally seen Jerry kick that sandbag apart. Tang San's body was still weak, and he felt he could not take even one kick. It was just that Jerry was too slow and could not catch him at all.

As long as he refused to fight Jerry, Jerry could do nothing to him!
