"Eh? Not interested!"
Su Yuntao could hardly believe Xiao Feng would say that. Spirit Hall was the continent's universally acknowledged number one force among Spirit Masters. Anyone with talent who joined Spirit Hall could generally attain a decent position and enjoy certain rights and benefits.
Yet Xiao Feng's three words, "not interested," made him wonder whether Xiao Feng simply did not understand how powerful Spirit Hall was. So, he began enthusiastically singing its praises.
However, Xiao Feng was still not interested!
What a joke. If he went to Spirit Hall now, how would he find that adorable little bunny? You think Xiao Wu was not pretty when she was young in the anime? Don't be ridiculous. That only showed how little you knew. She was a human reincarnated from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
Her looks were absolutely top-notch. Don't let the anime mislead you, or why would people later on be shouting things like, "She's my wife"? Those were the real deal!
And as a transmigrator, how could he possibly let such an adorable little bunny slip away? There had been laws in his previous life, but this life did not have so many rules!
As long as you were strong enough to conquer someone, nobody would care even if you had one hundred and eight wives. Of course, that was assuming your kidneys could handle it.
You said Spirit Hall had Little Spider, Little Fox, and Little Angel?
Please. Although there was a saying that Cao Cao might be dead, but his spirit lived on, winning the heart of a wounded woman like Bibi Dong was harder than ascending to heaven. Besides, she was the Pope known as the Iron-Blooded Pope. How could she be conquered so easily?
A novel was just a novel. Do not take it seriously, or you would not even know how you died. Even setting Bibi Dong aside, Hu Liena was the same. She was the Holy Maiden, while you were nothing. And what level was Hu Liena at now? What level of academy was she attending?
You were merely someone with monstrous talent. Did you think that once you went there, you could live under the same roof as Hu Liena? If you wanted to get close to Hu Liena, you first had to pass Bibi Dong's various tests. Needless to say, those tests were extremely dangerous.
Finally, there was Qian Renxue. Come on, did you even know where Qian Renxue was?
So, considering all that, the little bunny was still the best choice. As for the others? It would not be too late once he became stronger. After all, had Tang San not conquered Hu Liena and Qian Renxue only after becoming powerful in the original story? If Tang San could do it, why could Xiao Feng not?
And above all else, he had to keep a low profile and develop in the early stages, then go wild later! If he was already strong in the early stages, then forget he said anything.
In the end, under Su Yuntao's despairing gaze, Xiao Feng walked out of the Spirit Hall Branch with a lollipop in his mouth and a leisurely stride.
"No, I absolutely cannot let talent like this slip away. I need to report this to the main hall and have them send someone to recruit this monster!"
With that thought, Su Yuntao quickly gathered up his shattered Obsidian and Crystal Ball. These were irrefutable evidence. Then he hurried away.
Outside the Spirit Hall Branch.
Old Jack watched Su Yuntao leave in a hurry, his face full of confusion. He was completely baffled and had no idea what had happened until Tang San's voice brought him back to his senses.
"Little San, what happened here?"
Tang San then explained what had happened inside the Spirit Hall Branch, though he did not mention Xiao Feng. After finishing his own part, he looked toward Xiao Feng, clearly meaning that whether to reveal his own matters was up to him.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng could not help thinking, As expected of Little San. That level of awareness is not bad.
Xiao Feng walked over to Old Jack, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. Although Little San's Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, he has Innate Full Soul Power. There's a saying: man can conquer nature. Fate is in your own hands. You need to believe in Little San. Besides, I'm also a genius with Innate Full Soul Power."
Xiao Feng could not be bothered to say that he had Innate Soul Power at level twenty. Old Jack had never even heard of such a thing, so it was better to just say Innate Full Soul Power. The effect was the same anyway.
The moment he heard that Xiao Feng also had Innate Full Soul Power, Old Jack immediately wore an expression that said, "Holy Soul Village finally has a chance to be renamed Title Village!"
"Little Feng, Grandpa believes in you. You can definitely do it."
At that moment, Old Jack was already imagining a glorious future. His complexion even became much rosier.
Xiao Feng waved his hand, then looked at Tang San and said, "Little San, we've known each other for so long, but I've never visited your home. A chance encounter is better than a planned visit, right?"
To put it simply, Xiao Feng wanted to see what the Grass-Loving Expert looked like. After all, Tang Hao was the first man on the continent to make a move on a Soul Beast—and a plant-type Soul Beast at that. As a junior, Xiao Feng naturally had to learn from him.
"Sure, as long as you don't mind. You know what my family situation is like."
"Don't worry. I'm not one of those snobbish little brats in the village. Let's go."
The two then said goodbye to Old Jack, their figures disappearing at the end of the mountain path. The other children from the village had long since left, leaving Old Jack standing there alone in a daze for quite some time.
"Our village has hope! No, this year I have to secure two Work-study Student spots and send Little Feng and Tang San to a Soul Master Academy. I need to go show off to those old geezers—cough, cough, I mean discuss it. Discuss it."
Old Jack then walked toward the outskirts of the village with a spring in his step.
On the mountain path.
Tang San was somewhat confused. He asked Xiao Feng, "Brother Xiao Feng, is Blue Silver Grass really a useless Martial Soul?"
Xiao Feng smiled at Tang San's question. "According to common theory, Blue Silver Grass really is a useless Martial Soul, and an utterly useless one at that! But that only applies to ordinary people. Those theories do not apply to monsters like us. Little San, you should have another Martial Soul, right?"
The moment Xiao Feng said that, Tang San's heart tightened. But then he seemed to think of something, and his brows relaxed. Still, he asked curiously, "Why do you say that, Brother Xiao Feng?"
"Because the quality of a Martial Soul is proportional to Innate Soul Power. Blue Silver Grass absolutely cannot possess Innate Full Soul Power! Ninety-nine point nine percent of people with Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls do not even have Soul Power. Even if they do, it would be level one at most!"
"That's why I said you should be like me and have Twin Martial Souls. You don't need to tell me that you might be an exception. I can tell you clearly: impossible. As someone with Twin Martial Souls, I have absolute authority to say so."
Listening to Xiao Feng's words, Tang San fell silent. When Xiao Feng had first said he possessed Twin Martial Souls, Tang San had been confused. He could not understand how Xiao Feng had seen through him, but now he understood. Yet he was even more confused. How did Xiao Feng know all these things?
Xiao Feng seemed to see Tang San's confusion and spoke again. "Little San, some things are not as simple as they appear. There are four kinds of people in this world: commoners, nobles, people from great forces like Spirit Hall and the empires, and finally, people from sects!"
Tang San asked as if he half understood, "Brother Xiao Feng, you mean?"
"That's right. I belong to the last kind. But I only learned about it on the day my parents died."
As he said this, Xiao Feng's expression became somewhat sorrowful, though he quickly hid it. Smiling, he said, "I learned this knowledge from the ancient books my parents left behind. Otherwise, how do you think someone from a small mountain village like me could know these things?"
"Sorry, Brother Xiao Feng. I made you remember something painful."
"It's fine. I'm used to it. But can you let me see your second Martial Soul?"
Looking at Xiao Feng's sincere expression, Tang San nodded. "Alright."
The next second, a small silver hammer quietly appeared in Tang San's left hand. Looking at the Clear Sky Hammer before him, Xiao Feng could not help nodding. "I've never seen a hammer Martial Soul like yours, but from my initial impression, its quality definitely belongs among the top-tier Martial Souls. But now I have a question that even I cannot figure out."
"Hm?"
"The ancient books said that the Martial Soul a person awakened would usually inherit their parents' Martial Souls. But our situations clearly do not fit that at all. As far as I know, my parents should not have been Spirit Masters, and your father is only a blacksmith. So where did our Twin Martial Souls come from?"
That question stunned Tang San as well.
"Could the contents of the book be wrong?"
"But your situation just now proved that the book's contents should not be wrong."
For a moment, Tang San fell silent. In his mind appeared the image of his father drinking himself into a stupor every day, as well as what his father had said to him today.
Could my father have once been a Spirit Master? Then why would a Spirit Master like him spend every day drowning himself in alcohol?
Tang San's heart was full of doubts, and he desperately wanted to return home and ask his father.
