Su Ming: Tang San, Isn't It Only Fair to Ask for a Reward for Keeping Your Secret?

Tang San nodded as well. Although his father had told him not to reveal his second Martial Soul, his teacher had already discovered it, so there was nothing he could do. He believed his teacher would not expose it either.

Tang San then extended his left hand, and a small blue hammer appeared within it. It was the Clear Sky Hammer!

"This is..."

Yu Xiaogang stared at the small hammer before him with a shocked expression!

So Tang San's second Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer. Combined with the fact that he was not in the Clear Sky Sect and had enrolled as a Work-Study Student, this...

Tang San was somewhat puzzled. Why was his teacher so shocked? Was there something wrong with his Martial Soul?

"Teacher, is there something wrong with my Martial Soul?"

Yu Xiaogang came back to his senses, then grabbed Tang San by the shoulders. "Tang San, remember this. Without my permission, you must never use your second Martial Soul in front of others!"

"As for the rest, I cannot tell you yet. You will learn in the future!"

"Understood, Teacher."

Tang San then put away the Clear Sky Hammer. He was deeply puzzled. Why had his teacher said the exact same thing as his father?

Next, Yu Xiaogang explained the development paths available to Soul Masters and suggested that Tang San follow the Control System path. Tang San nodded in agreement!

After explaining everything, Yu Xiaogang suddenly remembered that he had yet to ask where the injuries on Tang San's face had come from.

He immediately asked, "Tang San, how did you get the injuries on your face? Didn't you just enroll today?"

Tang San then awkwardly recounted what had happened to Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang sighed. "I never expected Su Ming to possess such combat skill and strength at such a young age."

Then he said confidently, "But you needn't worry, Tang San. As long as you follow my arrangements, with your talent, surpassing him will only be a matter of time!"

Yu Xiaogang then took out a belt-shaped Soul Tool. He had originally planned to give it to Tang San tomorrow, but after thinking it over, he decided to give it to him now.

"Tang San, this Soul Tool is for you. It has twenty-four jade pieces, and each one contains one cubic meter of space."

Tang San accepted it without ceremony. "Thank you, Teacher."

One should not refuse a gift from an elder. Besides, this was probably the greeting gift his teacher was giving his disciple.

Yu Xiaogang said, "I obtained this Soul Tool thirty years ago. It has been buried in obscurity alongside me for all these years. Give it a name!"

Tang San thought for a moment. "Then I'll call it Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night."

Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad. It is a fine name. Go back and make your preparations now. Tomorrow, I'll take you to hunt a Soul Beast and obtain your First Spirit Ring."

After everything had been settled, Tang San returned to the Seventh Dormitory.

As soon as he entered, he saw Su Ming cultivating, while Xiao Wu was cultivating as well.

Tang San noticed that Xiao Wu already had a brand-new blanket, so he knew Su Ming had bought one for her. For some reason, a faint sense of loss rose in his heart. He did not know whether it was merely an illusion.

Then Su Ming heard the movement at the door. Seeing that Tang San had returned, he ended his cultivation.

He said with concern, "Tang San, you're back. I bought some medicinal ointment for you. Apply it quickly, and the swelling on your face should go down in a few days."

Tang San accepted the ointment Su Ming had bought. Looking at Su Ming's concerned gaze, he knew the other party meant well, but why did it still leave such an unpleasant feeling in his heart?

Then he suddenly remembered something and quietly said to Su Ming, "Su Ming, can you keep it secret that I have Twin Martial Souls?"

Su Ming replied, "Don't worry, my lips are sealed. We came from the same village, after all, and we'll be living and studying together from now on. Unless you reveal your talent yourself, I won't tell anyone."

The girls: Yeah, yeah, your lips are sealed, but your thoughts aren't. We all know already!

Seeing Su Ming say this, Tang San relaxed slightly.

Although Su Ming's words sounded pleasant, he was thinking, Tang San, I can keep your secret, but you'll have to pay a price. It won't be much. I just won't leave Xiao Wu for you, and you can forget about opportunities like the Eight Spider Lances and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. That's perfectly reasonable, right? After all, those are merely external possessions. Your Twin Martial Souls are what truly matter. Hehe!

Tang San then turned to Xiao Wu and asked, "Xiao Wu, were you cultivating just now?"

Xiao Wu said, "Yes. What is it?"

Tang San said in confusion, "But aren't you Innate Soul Power Level 10? What is the use of continuing to cultivate without attaching a Soul Ring?"

At that moment, Su Ming, who was beside them, said, "I was the one who told her to cultivate. Even without attaching a Soul Ring, the results of continued cultivation will show once the Soul Ring is attached. This is one of the theories your teacher published. I looked into it! I think the theory should be true. After all, Master 'compiled' it from Spirit Hall!"

Tang San's mouth twitched. Was Su Ming really not going to let this go? At the same time, he finally understood.

He did not care whether Master's theory had been copied or not. As long as it was useful to him, that was enough!

In truth, Su Ming still found Xiao Wu a little strange. Since Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, she had her own foundation. Before becoming a Titled Douluo, even if she did not cultivate actively, her Soul Power would still rise very quickly.

Yet today, just as he was about to begin cultivating, Xiao Wu had suddenly asked him whether she could continue cultivating without attaching a Soul Ring.

This greatly surprised Su Ming. Since when had Xiao Wu become so hardworking? Something was off, but he still answered her question.

What Su Ming did not know was that Xiao Wu had long known this cultivation theory. She had merely asked in advance as a precaution. After all, she was not actually Level 10 anymore. She was already Level 11, and her First Spirit Ring had formed.

So, after asking Su Ming that question, he would not later ask why she was still cultivating despite having Soul Power Level 10.

However, Xiao Wu had still been one move short. Su Ming knew what she had been like in the early stages. How could she possibly have started cultivating of her own accord?

Xiao Wu had obtained the Diary, which had caused a Butterfly Effect in her original path through life. She knew Su Ming's strength would definitely rise quickly in the future. She did not want to fall behind, and she even wanted to fulfill her wish of "defeating Su Ming once," which was why she had begun cultivating diligently!

After that, Su Ming and Xiao Wu ignored Tang San and resumed their cultivation separately.

After learning that he could continue cultivating at his current stage, Tang San began cultivating as well. Seeing this, the others in the dormitory stopped doing anything else and cultivated together!

The three of them directly motivated the entire Seventh Dormitory. The whole dormitory began grinding together!
