The Third Brother They Couldn't Recognize

With the complete awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, Tang San began to undergo clearly visible changes.

His four Spirit Ring were the first to react.

The four Spirit Ring— yellow, purple, purple, and black—lit up simultaneously, their surfaces shimmering with a faint blue-gold luster.

The luster was not dazzling, but rather warm and smooth like jade, slowly flowing across the surface of the Spirit Ring Spirit Ring before gradually seeping into its interior and disappearing.

From the outside, these four Spirit Ring are no different from the previous ones—the same color, the same intensity of light.

But Tang San himself knew that they were no longer the Spirit Ring of the Blue Silver Grass, but rather the Spirit Ring of the Blue Silver Emperor.

The essence of the Spirit Ring has been sublimated along with the evolution of the Martial Soul. The energy contained within it has become more condensed, and its compatibility with the Martial Soul has reached perfection.

Next came the changes in the body.

Tang San could feel his muscles, which had become slightly swollen due to long-term training and the strengthening effect of Whale Rubber, subtly contracting and adjusting.

It's not that it's become weaker, but rather that it has become more coordinated and balanced, with every inch of muscle seemingly sculpted with the utmost precision, achieving the best balance between strength and agility.

His physique hasn't changed significantly, but his overall posture is more natural and harmonious.

The most noticeable change was in his hair.

Her long hair, which had gradually turned from pure black to dark blue due to absorbing three life-attribute Spirit Ring, was now changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The deep blue faded, replaced by a clear and bright azure.

The blue was as pure as the sky after rain, and like the deepest sea, shimmering with a crystal-clear luster under the sunlight.

What's even more peculiar is that within these azure hair strands, there are also faint golden glints, like golden threads flowing through the veins of Blue Silver Grass.

When the transformation was complete, Tang San's long hair had turned into a crystal-clear azure, with golden light shimmering within, dazzling yet understated.

Just like the newly sprouted Blue Silver Grass around him—azure leaves with golden veins.

What is even more noticeable is the change in his appearance. His features are more refined, and his skin has become exceptionally fair. He has transformed from an ordinary nine-year-old child into a handsome young man!

This is not just a change in appearance.

Tang San could clearly feel that all his attributes were improving imperceptibly.

It's not an increase in Soul Power, but a deeper reshaping of oneself after the awakening of the essence of the Martial Soul.

Senses become more acute, meridians become more resilient, and vitality becomes more vigorous...

On the ground, the crystalline blue light emanating from the Blue Silver Grass, which had grown wildly to three times its original height during the awakening process, was gradually receding.

But they did not return to their original state.

These Blue Silver Grass have become noticeably taller and thicker, with wider and more robust leaves and stronger stems.

More importantly, the life force emanating from them was several times stronger than before—each Blue Silver Grass seemed to have been reborn.

This is the effect of the Blue Silver Emperor's aura.

Under the blessing of the emperor's aura, all the Blue Silver Grass in this area underwent a qualitative leap.

Tang San received the support and resonance he needed for his awakening from them, and his imperial aura also elevated the life level of these kin.

As the last wisp of blue light receded, the cocoon of light that had enveloped Tang San completely dissipated.

He stood in a clearing in the woods, his long, azure hair cascading over his shoulders, his eyes clear and deep, radiating an aura of gentleness and nobility.

The Martial Soul Awakening is complete.

Tang San slowly opened his eyes.

He did not immediately examine the changes in himself, nor did he feel the surging power within his body.

His gaze, almost instinctively, turned toward the direction of Holy Soul Village.

During his awakening just now, he did indeed feel the help from countless Blue Silver Grass in this forest—those blue light spots that surged into his body were their purest gift of life.

But at the same time, he also sensed another fluctuation.

From the direction of Holy Soul Village in Nuoding City.

The fluctuation was very faint, yet exceptionally clear. It wasn't the resonance of ordinary Blue Silver Grass, but a deeper, more profound throbbing that reached the very core of one's being.

It was as if something connected to him by blood was calling out silently from that direction.

Tang San's heart began to beat faster uncontrollably.

An idea became clearer and clearer in his mind:

Mother...

That's very likely where the mother is!

Fu Shiyan walked to his side, looked at Tang San's solemn gaze towards Holy Soul Village, and calmly asked:

"You felt it?"

Tang San took a deep breath, nodded, and his voice was a little tight:

"Master... what about Holy Soul Village...?"

He didn't finish speaking, but Fu Shiyan already understood.

The silver-haired man in black robes gazed northwards, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of mountains and forests, and slowly said:

"There are some things that need to be confirmed."

A few days later, Fu Shiyan and Tang San returned to their courtyard in Heaven Dou City.

The two had just stood in the front yard when a series of hurried footsteps and a commotion came from the back yard.

"Third Brother is back? Where is he?!"

Ma Hongjun was the first to rush out, his round body running incredibly fast, his face beaming with obvious excitement—this was clearly a rare opportunity to skip class.

He stopped abruptly, panting, his gaze sweeping over Fu Shiyan Fu Shiyan the courtyard before settling on the unfamiliar boy beside her, a deep look of confusion immediately appearing in his eyes.

The fat man looked around, craned his neck to peek behind Fu Shiyan, then peered towards the main house, muttering to himself:

"Teacher Fu, where's Third Brother? Where did he go?"

He made no connection whatsoever between the unfamiliar young man before him and Tang San, and even looked Tang San up and down with an even more questioning gaze, asking:

"And... who is this person? Is he new here?"

At this moment, Oscar, Mo Xuan, and Xiao Wu also arrived at the front yard one after another.

Oscar still looked lazy, but his eyes were scanning behind Fu Shiyan.

Mo Xuan stood quietly to the side, his gaze also questioning Fu Shiyan.

Like Ma Hongjun, all three wore expressions of clear confusion—where was Tang San?

Tang San looked at his companions' reactions and felt both amused and touched.

Just as he was about to explain, a pink figure suddenly pounced on him!

It's Xiao Wu.

She barely hesitated, and like a nimble rabbit, she pounced directly into Tang San.

Tang San was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously reached out to catch her.

Xiao Wu lifted her head in his arms, her pink eyes sparkling, a playful and smug smile on her face, and asked in a clear, crisp voice:

"Third Brother, what happened to you? Your hair color is so beautiful!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun, who was standing nearby, was the first to jump up:

"Xiao Wu! What are you talking about? How could he possibly be Third Brother?!"

The fat man circled Tang San twice, his chubby face filled with disbelief.

"Third Brother, how could you be so... so..." He hesitated for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence:

"So flashy!"
