"Don't mention that bastard!"
Yin Chuan knew Ah Yin was talking about Tang Hao and could not help gritting his teeth.
What was so good about that rat?
Always hiding and running,
without a shred of responsibility!
Back when he had sparred with Tang Hao, Tang Hao had even considered him a kindred spirit.
So Tang Hao treated his kindred spirit's repeated warnings like bullshit, huh?
He had long known that rat was unreliable and had warned Ah Yin too, but she simply would not listen.
Back then, Yin Chuan had ninety thousand years of cultivation and had not yet grown legs!
The moment his cultivation reached one hundred thousand years, he immediately took human form, but it was already too late. Nor was he in any hurry to change anything now.
"Ah..."
Ah Yin sighed and fell silent.
As for Tang Hao,
she truly was somewhat disappointed in him,
but she had complete faith in Yin Chuan.
"Xiaochuan, you're someone with ideas and convictions."
"I can rest easy leaving Xiaosan to you."
"My strength is limited right now, so I'll enter dormancy for a while first."
Ah Yin's consciousness slowly sank into silence.
Yin Chuan began considering his next move.
Should he move Ah Yin to the Lake of Life?
Or should he make use of that waste and have the rat guard Ah Yin?
Actually,
Yin Chuan would rather move Ah Yin to the Lake of Life.
That way, not only would Ah Yin recover faster, but with his family in Gu Yuena's hands, he could also gain more trust from the Co-Lord of Soul Beasts.
The drawback was obvious too.
Ah Yin would become a hostage...
A man born between heaven and earth—how could he remain miserably beneath another for long?
He already had a system, so why the hell should he keep following the Silver Dragon King?
Yin Chuan's plans had to change.
He had never intended to go to the Land of Great Calamity to meet the Silver Dragon King in the first place. What future did soul beasts even have? Gu Yuena was even more of an idiot.
It was King of Ten Thousand Monsters, with five hundred and twenty thousand years of cultivation, who had approached him first.
After the two had made certain arrangements,
King of Ten Thousand Monsters began taking an interest in him and introduced him to Gu Yuena. Only then did he gradually earn Gu Yuena's favor...
Previously, the Silver Dragon King had indeed been Yin Chuan's greatest source of support,
but now that the Good Uncle System had bound itself to him, and Tang San also had a Golden Dragon King inside him,
he had to think more carefully about this family.
"Better make use of that waste and have Tang Hao watch over my sister."
Yin Chuan made up his mind.
Though he found that bastard Tang Hao incredibly annoying, the bastard truly was the best choice at present.
"Mom!"
Tang San woke from a deep sleep with tears all over his face and anxiously called for Ah Yin.
But this time, he received no response.
A terror of having something only to lose it again instantly flooded Tang San's heart, making him panic terribly.
Could it be that he had just reunited with his mother, had not even had time to say much to her or fulfill his filial duty, and now they had to part again?
"Uncle!"
Tang San looked helplessly at Yin Chuan.
"Don't panic. Your mother lacks energy and has entered a dormant state."
"She's safe here, so you don't need to worry."
"We should go."
"When you come back next time, your mother's condition will be much better. Save whatever you want to say for then."
Yin Chuan had already packed his bags and had no intention of staying in the Blue Silver Forest for long.
"Whew..."
"Alright!"
Tang San took a deep breath, closed his eyes, then opened them again. His gaze was filled with determination and resolve.
He knelt before Ah Yin,
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Tang San kowtowed three times.
"Mother, a true man's ambitions lie in all four directions. Your son will roam the world with Uncle. When I achieve success and fame, I'll come back to see you!"
Although Tang San dearly wanted to remain by his mother's side and fulfill his filial duty,
he understood his mother's and uncle's expectations even better. He could not be too weak.
Their family had special identities. Only strength, only becoming stronger, would allow them to stand firm in this world.
Yin Chuan quietly waited for Tang San.
Once Tang San had finished bidding Ah Yin farewell, uncle and nephew set out on their journey once more.
Holy Soul Village.
"You're Tang San?!"
Old Jack nearly dropped dead from fright.
This young master was Tang San?
Had he gone senile, or had the world gone mad?
"Grandpa Jack, it really is me."
"My Martial Soul hadn't fully awakened before. Um, my uncle came and helped me awaken it, and then my appearance changed."
Tang San explained, secretly feeling rather pleased with himself.
How was this not returning home in glory?
Before, he had been a blacksmith's son.
Now, he was the crown prince of the Blue Silver Royal Clan!
"So that's how it is..."
"Wonderful!"
"Xiaosan, I said your Innate Full Soul Power meant you were extraordinary! How could you have a useless Martial Soul?"
"Master Su Yuntao made a mistake. Come on, Grandpa will take you to find him!"
After pondering it for a while, Old Jack believed Tang San's explanation and immediately felt dissatisfied with Su Yuntao's verdict that his Martial Soul was useless.
Martial Souls could indeed affect one's appearance.
Tang San's explanation was highly convincing.
Yet,
an invisible, thick barrier had formed between Old Jack and Tang San.
Before, Tang San had been a blacksmith's son who needed his care.
Now, Tang San's uncle looked obviously wealthy and distinguished, while Tang San had become someone far beyond his reach.
Old Jack could not figure it out.
How had trash like Tang Hao found such a good wife?
"There's no need to explain anything to the Spirit Hall deacon."
"Keep this matter secret."
"Also, sir, Xiaosan told me you've taken great care of him. As Xiaosan's uncle, I'm deeply grateful."
"A small token of appreciation. Please accept it."
Yin Chuan placed down a bag of Silver Soul Coins.
It was a large sum, but not excessively so—just right. Giving Gold Soul Coins instead would only have harmed Old Jack.
"You're too kind."
Old Jack was no fool. He knew this was Yin Chuan's payment for his silence, and inwardly marveled at how meticulous soul masters were.
Still, he was already happy that Tang San could escape his original family.
"There's still a work-study student spot in the village, right?"
Yin Chuan asked quietly.
"Yes, there is."
"You want Xiaosan to attend school as a work-study student?"
Old Jack found it strange.
Tang San's uncle did not look short on money, so why make Tang San become a work-study student?
Could he be some vicious uncle who wanted to mistreat Tang San...
"Yes. I don't want Xiaosan's life to change too drastically all at once."
Yin Chuan smiled faintly.
He had an acquaintance at Nuoding Academy—the hundred-thousand-year-old rogue rabbit. He could not miss this opportunity.
"Alright, then..."
Old Jack looked at Tang San. Seeing that Tang San's expression was normal and bore none of the grievance of someone being bullied, he finally let it go.
That was true.
No matter how badly he was mistreated, it could not be worse than Tang Hao's treatment.
Yin Chuan, Tang San, and Old Jack arrived at Nuoding Academy.
"Innate Full Soul Power?"
"Blue Silver Grass!"
The gatekeeper took the Martial Soul certificate, his voice full of surprise.
But seeing that Yin Chuan and Tang San both appeared wealthy and distinguished, he did not dare make things difficult for them and obediently let them pass.
They were allowed through here,
but the road was blocked on the other side.
"I once conducted an extensive investigation of 647 people whose Martial Souls were Blue Silver Grass. Only sixteen possessed Soul Power, a probability of less than three percent..."
"According to my theory of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul,"
"I can be certain that you possess another Martial Soul, and it is an exceptionally powerful one."
The sexy, buzz-cut Yu Xiaogang stood atop the steps, looking down from above. His voice was low and magnetic as he quietly showed off.
As a genius who had reached Level 30 before turning fifty.
His words carried considerable authority!
