Twin Martial Souls Confirmed, Tang Hao Excited to Be a Dad

[Chapter 2, Martial Soul Awakening

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Old Jack arrived as promised.

Tang San looked toward his father, who had finished breakfast, to ask for permission.

Tang Hao said coldly, "Go. Don't delay making lunch."]

"Is it truly a twin martial soul?" Tang Hao was exceptionally nervous and expectant.

However, the text did not go on to describe Tang San's martial soul awakening; it jumped directly to his return home, accompanied by Old Jack.

The Blue Silver Grass martial soul, combined with the result of innate full soul power, made Old Jack desperately want Tang San to become a soul master, offering him a spot as a working student and covering his travel expenses.

Tang Hao chuckled. He knew very well that this village head was eager for a soul master to emerge from the village, preferably one who could restore the glory of Holy Soul Village.

But, was it really so easy for a soul master to appear among commoners?

Tang Hao's laughter was filled with mockery and self-deprecation. What use was a Blue Silver Grass martial soul, even with innate full soul power?

Amidst his laughter, Tang Hao looked down, refusing to abandon hope, and his face was instantly flooded with profound shock and joy.

[After seeing Old Jack off, Tang San still spoke of the uniqueness of his martial soul awakening that day: "I have another martial soul."]

[Tang Hao, who was lifting the door curtain to head into the inner room, turned back abruptly, a look of shock on his face.

His eyes were bloodshot, as if tears were about to flow.]

[In the palm of Tang San's hand, black light surged forth, condensing into a pitch-black hammer. The handle was about half a foot long, and the head was cylindrical, looking very much like a miniature version of a forging hammer.

However, on the pitch-black surface of the hammer, there was a strange glow, and a faint pattern coiled around the cylindrical head.]

"Clear Sky Hammer! Son, my son!"

Seeing the description of the martial soul's appearance, Tang Hao wept openly outside the book.

Twin martial souls, it really was twin martial souls!

Tang Hao's emotional outburst was entirely within Xiao Wuji's expectations; what Tang San awakened was not just the Clear Sky Hammer, but also Tang Hao's fatherly love.

[Last night, Tang Hao had an incredibly vivid dream where a soul master, augmented by eighteen Lone Bamboo soul rings, resurrected A Yin.

Now it seemed that the soul master was none other than his and A Yin's son!]

"So in the book, I found out through a dream." Tang Hao was filled with joy. He was much luckier than his counterpart in the book, having concrete text to guide him.

[Looking at the Clear Sky Sect's inherited martial soul, the "Clear Sky Hammer," Tang Hao felt such regret that he hadn't seriously hugged his son even once until the martial soul awakening.

If it were possible, Tang Hao truly wished he had held his son sooner.

Even if he didn't make breakfast, he should have at least served it to his son.

Moreover, he should have given Old Jack, who came to announce the news of the awakening, a smile and accompanied his son to the ceremony.]

"It's not too late now," Tang Hao smiled slightly.

["Dad." Tang San was a bit stunned. In his memory, this seemed to be the first time Tang Hao had hugged him like this.

The small iron hammer in his hand felt as if it were becoming heavier and heavier. Although Tang San loved the warmth brought by this fatherly love, he feared even more that the hammer would slip from his hand and crush his father.

"Dad, I can't hold on anymore," Tang San couldn't help but say.

Tang Hao released his arms: "Take it back."

Tang San had never seen his father's expression look so vivid; various complex emotions flickered across Tang Hao's face.

After a long while, he slowly said one sentence: "Remember, in your future, you must use the hammer in your left hand to protect the grass in your right hand. Forever."

Tang San nodded, not fully understanding, and Tang Hao stood up and walked back into the inner room without looking back.]

Watching the interaction between father and son, Tang Hao's smile stiffened as he turned the page again. The snow-white page was empty, save for the four words: "To be continued..."

"There must be a result!" After staring blankly for a moment, Tang Hao felt full of confidence in the book in his hands. He tucked it away and walked out of the inner room.

Although his wife's resurrection was important, he needed to make amends to his son—that boy was the key to resurrecting his wife.

[Record of the Blue Silver Emperor's Resurrection first two chapters read.]

[Follow count: 3.]

Xiao Wuji smiled. As a newcomer, his writing seemed quite good so far.

He believed that after the two readers, Tang San and Tang Hao, experienced what was to come, Tang San would finish reading Chapter 2 and, like Tang Hao, look forward to the rest.

However, the follow count had not yet reached the threshold to trigger the first reward, so he could not be careless.

Raising his perspective, Xiao Wuji looked at Tang San's home from a god-like vantage point.

Under his gaze, Tang San used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps to return home quickly.

Thinking of the contents of the book, he felt quite nervous and was somewhat afraid to open his own door.

He was afraid—he was truly terrified that the contents of the book were merely a momentary oversight by his ancestors...

Taking a deep breath, Tang San hesitated repeatedly before finally opening the door.

In the end, he had to face reality.

Sensing Tang San's arrival, how could Tang Hao not be nervous?

Six years had passed, yet he had never once called him son, nor had he ever given him a hug.

As the door opened, what Tang San saw was not the usual cold, empty room, but the tall figure of his father dishing out rice.

"Son, time to eat," Tang Hao said, his smile somewhat stiff.

That simple sentence struck Tang San like a bolt of lightning; it was real, it was all real!

Seeing Tang San standing there, stunned and unable to believe it all, Tang Hao felt a pang of sorrow in his heart and strode over. "My son!"

Is this what a father's embrace feels like? Tang San was taken aback, sensing a feeling no different from what was described in books.

A Yin, is this our son? Tang Hao, hugging Tang San for the first time, felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

However, the moment he thought about how his son could awaken the twin martial souls of the Clear Sky Hammer and Blue Silver Grass, that he was the key to fusing the eighteen Lone Bamboo spirit rings, and that he was the crucial figure to saving his beloved, Tang Hao felt a surge of excitement from the bottom of his heart.

A bowl of thin porridge, where the grains of rice could be counted with the naked eye, was consumed by the two of them as if it were bird's nest soup.

Even after the meal, Tang San remained incredibly excited; having obtained the ancestral text Peerless Tang Sect, he would stand at the pinnacle of the continent as a spirit master in the future, and even more so, become the sect master of the Tang Sect on this Douluo Continent.

Now, as the future sect master of the Tang Sect, he needed to forge some hidden weapons to truly fit his status.

The familiar sound of forging rang out, and Tang Hao found it incomparably pleasant, more melodious than any piece played by a famous musician.

The number of ten thousand strikes was drawing closer, and now all that was left was for Old Jack to arrive...

While Tang Hao waited anxiously, Xiao Wuji reached out and calculated the time.

He remembered that Old Jack, the village chief of Holy Soul Village, would arrive in the afternoon; since it was only morning now, there was quite a wait ahead.

The last two follow-up reads, I'm counting on you, Yu Xiaogang.

I Taught a God, release!
