Now, a god-level Martial Soul had appeared right before him. How could he not be excited?
Hadn't he spent all these years in a stupor because his wife had died and revenge seemed impossible?
He knew firsthand how powerful Spirit Hall was. Although he had gravely wounded Qian Xunji, the culprit behind Ah Yin's death, he had also been left with injuries that were difficult to heal.
With Spirit Hall growing ever stronger, all he could do now was cling to life. The hope of bringing Spirit Hall down was slim.
"Ah Yin's death has been avenged, but Spirit Hall killed countless members of my Clear Sky Sect and forced the sect into seclusion for years. That debt must be repaid!"
Not long after Qian Xunji returned gravely wounded, he had died. Tang Hao's anger had eased somewhat, but Spirit Hall still had to pay for the harm it had done to his sect.
Jiang Chen's appearance had given him new hope. Once Jiang Chen grew strong enough, he would have a real chance of toppling Spirit Hall.
That was the real reason he wanted to get closer to Jiang Chen.
Sigh, if Tang San wants to go to school, let him. He can go with this kid, too. Tang Hao sighed inwardly.
While Tang Hao was thinking, Jiang Chen had already carried the stone roller around the village once.
Jiang Chen was drenched in sweat, but his face was full of excitement. He could feel his body beginning to tire.
The small figure and the enormous stone roller flashed past the village entrance, and Tang Hao finally understood what Jiang Chen was doing.
"This kid is actually exercising." Tang Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The villagers who had been startled came out as well. One sharp-eyed person immediately noticed that the stone roller had disappeared.
"Huh? Where's the stone roller?"
"Right? I was sitting on it just a moment ago. How'd it disappear so quickly?"
"Hey, look! The stone roller's over there. It's grown legs—and it's running!"
Everyone looked in the direction the person was pointing. Sure enough, there were two legs beneath the stone roller, and it was racing toward the village entrance.
Had the stone roller become a spirit?
They all rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things.
When Jiang Chen drew closer, they finally saw the figure behind the stone roller. Their mouths fell open, and they all stumbled backward in fright.
"Th-this can't be possible!" someone cried out in shock.
That stone roller weighed eight hundred jin! Even four or five grown men would have trouble lifting it, yet a six-year-old child was carrying it as he ran.
"He's a complete freak!" someone cried in terror.
"What's gotten into him? Why's he running around with a stone roller?"
"He's touched that stone roller. I don't dare use it anymore..."
Without realizing it, the villagers' fear of Jiang Chen had risen by several more levels.
Jiang Chen didn't care what they thought. He was busy working up a sweat.
"Hey, Tang San." Passing the village entrance again, Jiang Chen spotted Tang San returning from his training and called out to him.
Tang San held a struggling rabbit in his hand. When he saw Jiang Chen race past carrying the enormous stone roller, he was utterly dumbfounded.
