"Hold out your right hand," the white-robed deacon said.
Following the instructions, Tang San held out his right hand, and a blue Blue Silver Grass emerged from it.
"Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul." The white-robed deacon shook his head.
Then he put his things away and prepared to leave.
"Master Su Yuntao, I haven't undergone the Innate Soul Power test yet." Tang San felt as if something else in his left hand was about to emerge, but he did not let it out. Instead, he called out to the white-robed deacon.
"With a Blue Silver Grass martial soul, what Soul Power could you possibly have?" Su Yuntao said impatiently.
"Let me try." Tang San insisted on seeing his Innate Soul Power.
Looking unhappy, Su Yuntao took out the Soul Power Detection Crystal and had him place his hand on it.
"Damn, th-this is Innate Full Soul Power!" Su Yuntao said in surprise.
Hehehe. Tang San nearly laughed out loud.
He understood Innate Full Soul Power very well by now.
"Little fellow, what's your name?" Su Yuntao asked with a smile.
"Tang San."
"Although your martial soul is the useless Blue Silver Grass, your Innate Soul Power is level 10. Would you consider joining our Spirit Hall?" Su Yuntao looked at Tang San, wanting to invite him into Spirit Hall.
"Uncle, I can't decide that. I need to go back and ask my father." Tang San did not immediately accept Su Yuntao's invitation.
"That works too. I'm currently stationed at the Spirit Hall in Nuoding City. If you agree, come find me there." Su Yuntao did not continue pressing Tang San. After all, that martial soul was only Blue Silver Grass, not the mutated martial soul his father had once awakened for someone else.
Tang San left the village's Spirit Hall with the others. When Village Chief Old Jack asked him about it, Tang San told him his situation.
"Good! Good, good! Our village can finally produce a Soul Master!" Old Jack excitedly struck the ground several times with his cane.
He then said that he would make Tang San's father agree to let him attend the Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy.
Tang San did not hurry home. Instead, he went beneath the eaves of Nan Xuan's house and secretly summoned the other martial soul in his left hand.
"Th-this is the Clear Sky Hammer?" Tang San stared at the hammer in his hand in surprise, then hurriedly withdrew it because it was too heavy.
He had not examined it closely when his martial soul awakened before. Now, he finally saw it clearly. The other martial soul in his hand was the Clear Sky Hammer.
Tang San felt as though he had discovered some enormous secret. He hurried into the Network World and had the Smart Guide, Tang Sect, search for Tang Hao.
Tang Sect quickly gave him the answer.
"Tang Hao. Martial soul: Clear Sky Hammer. Soul Power Level at his last login: level 92."
"Formerly one of the Haotian Twin Stars. Six years ago, he and his wife Ah Yin were pursued by the previous pope of Spirit Hall. Their whereabouts remain unknown."
"Former sect: Clear Sky Sect. Six years ago, he unilaterally announced his departure from the sect."
"Reason for pursuit: His wife was a one-hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor soul beast in human form. Because a human and a soul beast fell in love, she was wanted and pursued by the previous pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji."
"Attached image below."
Tang San stared at the information before him and the attached image beneath it. He was completely stunned.
He looked again and again at Tang Hao's martial soul, then thought of his own.
"Mother was a Blue Silver Emperor, and Father's martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer. I inherited both of their martial souls, so... my father really is a Title Douluo, one of the strongest people in this world?" Tang San could not believe what he had seen. He hurriedly exited the Network World and ran home.
Upon reaching home, Tang San kicked open Tang Hao's bedroom door.
Before Tang Hao could react to what was happening, Tang San's next words frightened him.
"Dad, are you the Clear Sky Douluo?"
"..."
Tang San desperately wanted an answer, his eyes sincere as he looked at Tang Hao.
"Dad, are you the Clear Sky Douluo?" The words kept echoing through Tang Hao's mind, making him wonder if his whereabouts had been exposed.
Seeing that his father still did not answer, Tang San grabbed Tang Hao's arm with both hands and shook it.
"Stop shaking. I am, but how did you find out?" Tang Hao knew he could not hide it any longer, so he answered helplessly.
"My two martial souls are the same as Father's and Mother's. I just searched your name with the Smart Guide in the Network World, and there was even a picture of you." Tang San spoke as though it were perfectly natural.
Tang Hao was speechless. In the internet age, nothing could really be hidden.
"Wait, did you just say you have two martial souls?" Tang Hao came to his senses and seized on the important point.
"Yes, Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer. Although Blue Silver Grass doesn't look much like Mother's martial soul, they come from the same lineage. According to the books, I have Twin Martial Souls, something only a few people on the continent possess." Tang San smiled proudly.
"How do you know so much?" Tang Hao asked curiously.
Tang San found Tang Hao even stranger. Didn't you give me the Network Card yourself? But he did not dare argue and honestly answered, "The Network Library in the Network World."
"The Network Library? This thing only appeared in the past few years?" Tang Hao muttered.
"Dad, haven't you entered the Network World at all these past few years?" Tang San asked curiously.
Tang Hao felt a little guilty after Tang San asked that.
Seeing his father's expression, Tang San more or less guessed the answer.
"Dad, you've fallen behind the times." Tang San looked up at his father and said seriously.
"Hey, you brat, you dare lecture me now? If it weren't for you, would your mother and I be where we are today?" Tang Hao glared at his son and said irritably.
"Dad." Hearing Tang Hao say that, Tang San immediately felt guilty.
"Forget it. Now that your martial soul has awakened and you know my identity, what are you planning to do?"
"Don't rush. Think it over slowly. I know you've been steady since childhood. This concerns your future, so think carefully." After his son discovered his identity, Tang Hao knew he could no longer stay by his side. Especially now that Tang San had awakened Twin Martial Souls.
After thinking for a while, Tang San looked at Tang Hao with determined eyes. "Dad, I want to become a Soul Master. I want to become as strong as you."
"What use is becoming a powerful Soul Master? You still can't protect the person you love." Thinking of Ah Yin, Tang Hao sighed inwardly.
"Becoming a powerful Soul Master is not simple. Have you truly thought this through? Once you walk this path, it will be difficult to turn back." Tang Hao looked at Tang San and asked solemnly.
"Yes, Dad. I've made up my mind." Tang San firmly stated his choice.
"Fine. Then I have one requirement for you now: you must not tell anyone about the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul in your left hand." Tang Hao opened Tang San's left hand and watched as a small hammer appeared, speaking sternly.
Tang San nodded. He did not ask why, because he knew their current enemy was Spirit Hall.
"And you must not cultivate your Clear Sky Hammer or add even a single soul ring to it." Tang Hao gestured for Tang San to withdraw his martial soul.
"Why?" Tang San asked.
"You'll understand when you go to school. Remember, use the hammer in your left hand to protect the grass in your right." After saying that, Tang Hao returned to his bed and lay down, then silently entered the Network World.
Network World, Tang Hao's personal space.
"Damn, things have changed so much over the past few years. Without the Smart Guide, I might not even know how to operate this anymore." Tang Hao was amazed by the Network World's development. Such a world was truly a great help to people like them.
The next morning, Tang San was preparing to go to the small hill to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye when Nan Xuan happened to see him. Smiling, he asked, "Little San, what martial soul did you awaken yesterday?"
"Blue Silver Grass, Uncle Nan Xuan," Tang San answered truthfully.
Tang San saw Nan Xuan looking at him with mixed feelings and quickly said, "It's fine, Uncle Nan Xuan. I'll become a Soul Master in the future. If there's nothing else, I'll go train first."
Tang San would never reveal his bottom line to anyone.
"Sigh, this kid is going off to school. Looks like he won't have the chance to come mooch off my internet anymore." Nan Xuan found it somewhat regrettable. After all, that meant much less fun.
"Although Yu Xiaogang still became a master, this master clearly wasn't very famous. Maybe even Tang Hao doesn't know him. I wonder whether Tang San can still become his disciple. That guy already knows his martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer." Nan Xuan said thoughtfully.
"Whatever. The plot in this world will fix itself. Even if it can't, there's no need to fear it going off track. As long as I have strength, anything can be resolved." With both hands behind his head, Nan Xuan slowly strolled back toward the wooden house.
After the shackles in Tang San's body were broken, he began cultivating again. Yet before long, he was unable to break through once more, so he could only think of soul rings.
Three months later, it was time for Tang San to start school.
Village Chief Old Jack arranged for Tang San to enroll as a work-study student. After Tang Hao gave him a few instructions, he let Tang San leave.
Naturally, Tang Hao was not at ease letting Tang San leave alone, so he followed behind him.
Outside the gates of the Nuoding City Junior Soul Master Academy.
A tall figure blocked the path of one tall and one short figure.
"Kid, this isn't a place poor trash like you can come to. Get lost," the tall gatekeeper said.
When Tang San heard him mention "poor trash," he immediately knew what the man wanted.
"Brother, this is our martial soul certificate." Old Jack smiled as he handed Spirit Hall's certificate to the gatekeeper.
"Blue Silver Grass, Innate Full Soul Power? This has to be a joke." The gatekeeper laughed loudly.
"Whether the certificate is real or fake, I don't know. But Spirit Hall issued it. If you want to verify it, go to Spirit Hall yourself. Don't come looking for attention here," Tang San said coldly.
Looking at someone like this, Tang San felt the man deserved to die. However, ever since learning that his father was the Clear Sky Douluo, his personality had changed greatly. If you had a powerful father, what would you do?
Seeing that Tang San was not easy to deal with, the gatekeeper gave up on trying to extort a gift. Otherwise, if things got worse, he would lose his job.
"Hmph, you're smart." Tang San withdrew the Hidden Weapon from inside his sleeve. If the man had continued pestering them, he would not have cared about the consequences. Even if Spirit Hall recognized him, he would not regret it.
