Tang Hao's World-Shaking Wisdom

"Grandmaster's intention is for me to use the Sharp-Tailed Swift martial soul as a pretext to send him alone to the Speed Clan for training?" Tang Hao frowned as he heard the strategy Yu Xiaogang had devised for him.

The reasoning sounded perfectly logical; if successfully implemented, it would not only separate the siblings and allow Tang Sanmei to truly become independent and strong, but it would also be extremely beneficial for Tang Yin's cultivation.

It was a win-win! The brains of intellectuals were truly useful.

Thinking this, Tang Hao nodded. Aside from his younger sister Yuehua, the three of them—himself, his brother, and their late, infuriated father—couldn't scrape together a single functioning brain between them.

The reason he had been able to focus on his cultivation back then was because he listened to the advice of those elders and cultivated step by step.

Even when he didn't dare return home because of his romance with Ah Yin, it was under the suggestion of a certain elder that he "cooked the raw rice into cooked porridge" with her before contacting his father.

As the elder had predicted, his father accepted their union and agreed to let him bring the pregnant Ah Yin back to the Clear Sky Sect to acknowledge their ancestors.

Regrettably, the information was leaked somehow, and Martial Soul Hall found out.

Damn that Martial Soul Hall!

Although the outcome of that affair was a tragedy, the plan itself had been sound.

Therefore, he still held his father's teachings in high regard, and in his eyes, Yu Xiaogang was exactly the kind of professional his father had spoken of.

"Fine, I will follow Grandmaster's advice. I shall return to Holy Soul Village now to speak with that boy."

Tang Hao was a man of decisive action; once he had an idea, he decided to set off for Holy Soul Village immediately.

Bang.

After leaving behind a Pope Token, the door closed, and Tang Hao's figure vanished from before Yu Xiaogang.

"To think that the idol I once looked up to has been so easily manipulated by me in just a few words." Yu Xiaogang chuckled inwardly; the idol of his past had shattered, replaced by a sense of contempt.

Meanwhile, in Holy Soul Village, as the small village had no nightlife to speak of, Tang Yin, Tang Sanmei, and Xiao Wu—who had insisted on following them back to the village to take a look—had all finished dinner early and retired to rest.

"Finally, I've broken through to level fifteen." Tang Yin, who was meditating on his bed, slowly opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

After Tang Sanmei had broken through to level sixteen a short while ago, Tang Yin had finally managed to reach level fifteen this evening.

It had to be said that although her gender had changed, the protagonist remained the protagonist; even with her attention divided by smithing at the forge over the past half-year, Tang Sanmei's cultivation speed remained astonishing.

Was there a gap even among those with Innate Full Soul Power?

Tang Yin felt a bit helpless. Just as he intended to continue meditating instead of sleeping, his ears suddenly twitched, and his gaze pierced through the window to discover a tall figure sitting by the broken wooden table in the courtyard.

"Tang Hao?"

Even though the man was covered from head to toe in a robe, he still recognized the person's identity by the moonlight.

Is he here to protect me, or... no, how could a mere Title Douluo be detected by a low-level soul master like me if he wanted to hide?

Tang Yin realized something was wrong instantly. Looking at Tang Hao's demeanor, it seemed he was intentionally leaking his aura, and specifically targeting him at that.

It seems he's here specifically for me! With a thought, Tang Yin rose and walked into the courtyard. The moment he stepped out, Tang Hao flicked his right hand, casting a soul power barrier that shielded the courtyard from outside observation.

"Not bad. Although you have Innate Full Soul Power, to reach level fifteen in just one semester shows you are very diligent in your cultivation." A flash of surprise crossed Tang Hao's eyes, though he quickly suppressed it.

No matter how fast Tang Yin's cultivation was, in his eyes, it couldn't compare to Tang Sanmei's. After all, he considered himself very knowledgeable about the Sharp-Tailed Swift martial soul.

"I thought you had left. Why have you suddenly returned to see me alone?" Regarding Tang Hao's rare praise, Tang Yin shrugged and sat opposite his father.

This was the first time this father and son had spoken face-to-face since he arrived in this world.

"I had intended to leave temporarily to handle some important matters, but..." Tang Hao glanced at Tang Yin with an indifferent gaze. "I suddenly remembered your martial soul and thought there might be a better path for you."

"A better path?" Tang Yin raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat surprised.

Aside from his hammer, Ah Yin, and training Tang Sanmei to take revenge on Martial Soul Hall, did this old man have anything else to worry about?

There's no such thing as a free lunch!

If others didn't know, how could he not? Tang Hao had clearly just met with Yu Xiaogang, and the topic must have involved him; otherwise, Tang Hao would never have deviated from the original plot to return to Holy Soul Village and find him alone.

"Yes, a better path for your Sharp-Tailed Swift cultivation!"

"Alright, let's hear it!" Tang Yin sneered inwardly, but his expression remained neutral. He wanted to see what kind of mischief Hao and Gang were plotting.

Seeing Tang Yin's look of interest, the corners of Tang Hao's mouth lifted involuntarily, though he first asked a question: "Do you know the origin of your martial soul?"

Ha, he's even testing me!

"Naturally, it's inherited from one's parents or ancestors. Of course, there are also cases of mutation!"

Tang Yin curled his lip, reciting the common knowledge of the Douluo Continent.

"Correct. The true name of this martial soul is the Sharp-Tailed Swift, and it is the family martial soul of your grandmother's clan." Tang Hao wore an expression that said he was right, then his expression turned solemn; he intended to reveal a little about his mother's family.

"Your grandmother's family has some reputation in the soul master world. They are known as the Speed Clan. They follow an extreme path of speed; while they lack combat power, they hold a pivotal position in gathering intelligence and conducting infiltration missions."

"Oh~ I see. So, old man, what are you implying?" Tang Yin put on a shocked expression, though he had already guessed Tang Hao's goal.

"I mean to send you to the Speed Clan to receive professional and systematic training. With your Innate Full Soul Power aptitude, your great-uncle will surely pour everything into you, and perhaps..." Tang Hao paused slightly here. His dull brain seemed to have suddenly had a breakthrough, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"He might even treat you as the hope for the Speed Clan's revival, perhaps even making you the clan leader." Tang Hao's eyes grew brighter as he spoke, captivated by his own world-shaking wisdom.

In Tang Hao's eccentric worldview—where bloodline mattered less than the martial soul—his son Tang Yin possessed the unprecedented Innate Full Soul Power Sharp-Tailed Swift. Coupled with the fact that his grandmother was the sister of the current Speed Clan leader, Bai He, he might truly have a chance to become the leader of the Speed Clan.

And once he became the leader of the Speed Clan, he could use Bai He to build connections with the other three clans, preparing for the future when he would bring the four clans back under the banner of the Clear Sky Sect.

After all, the Clear Sky Sect had acted quite dishonorably back then, effectively using the four affiliated clans as cannon fodder and abandoning them. They had sealed the mountain and hidden away without the slightest warning, leaving the four clans to face the wrath of Martial Soul Hall alone, resulting in heavy casualties.

"You must go to the Speed Clan!" Having exhausted his life's worth of brain cells, Tang Hao, who had initially spoken in a consultative tone, now radiated an air that brooked no refusal.

"Tang Yin, your sister has Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power; she is destined to stand at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent. As her brother, you should be the one to assist her!"
