After checking his Soul Skill in his mind, Tang Yu spoke up. "My Soul Skill is Purple Heaven Azure Dragon Transformation!"
"What? Is that the kind of Soul Skill a Tool Martial Soul is supposed to have?" Yu Xiaogang asked, looking utterly bewildered.
The Clear Sky Hammer got a transformation skill? Was it going to turn into a person and smash people with a Clear Sky Hammer?
"Xiaoyu, are you sure that's the name of your Soul Skill? Use it once so I can see." Yu Xiaogang drew in a sharp breath.
Tang Yu nodded, then slowly closed his eyes. A moment later, he snapped them open, a flash of furious purple light shining in them. He threw his head back and let out a long cry—but what came from his mouth was a dragon's roar.
The next moment, a purple Soul Ring rose beneath Tang Yu's feet.
Yu Xiaogang drew in a sharp breath. "I really understand Xiaoyu less and less. There are more and more things about him that defy common sense..."
Tang San was surprised too, but not to the point of being shocked. He had known Tang Yu was extraordinary for a long time. He had brought the Tang Sect Secret Arts with him to this world, so it was only natural for Tang Yu to have unusual things about him too, like his constitution or something.
The next moment, purple scales appeared on Tang Yu's body. Remembering the name of Tang Yu's Soul Skill, Yu Xiaogang said, "Could those be dragon scales?"
Lightning then wrapped around Tang Yu. Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized something: where was the Clear Sky Hammer? Could he use a Soul Skill without even releasing his Martial Soul?
Yu Xiaogang immediately asked, "Xiaoyu, can you use your Soul Skill without summoning your Martial Soul?"
Tang Yu nodded. "Yeah. Whether I summon the Clear Sky Hammer or not, I can control Lightning and use my Soul Skill!"
Yu Xiaogang smiled happily. "That's wonderful. Xiaoyu, remember: don't reveal your Martial Soul easily from now on!"
After seeing Tang Yu and Tang San's Martial Souls, Yu Xiaogang had already figured out who their father was. That was why he'd told Tang Yu not to reveal his Martial Soul—it would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
Tang Yu nodded. "All right, then. It's the same either way."
Then Yu Xiaogang led Tang Yu and Tang San out of the Soul Hunting Forest. He didn't ask Tang Yu why he could absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring as his First Soul Ring. That was Tang Yu's secret, and Yu Xiaogang had no intention of prying. He only needed to know that Tang Yu was his disciple.
After returning to Nuoding City, Yu Xiaogang told the two of them to register as Spirit Masters at the Spirit Hall Branch. Once registered, they would receive a monthly allowance and wouldn't have to work as work-study students anymore.
Tang San and Tang Yu nodded, then headed for the Spirit Hall Branch.
After they arrived at the Spirit Hall, an old man named Ma Xiunuo began testing their Soul Power, following Su Yuntao's introduction from earlier.
The three of them entered a room, and the old man had them inject their Soul Power into a device one at a time.
After Tang San injected his Soul Power, Ma Xiunuo's pupils contracted. "Thirteen levels of Soul Power! Child, what kind of Soul Ring did you get by hunting?"
"A Datura Snake," Tang San replied.
Ma Xiunuo nodded. "No wonder. If it was a Datura Snake, that makes sense. Child, would you be willing to join the Spirit Hall?"
Tang San refused without hesitation. "Sorry, I can't join the Spirit Hall."
