Su Yuntao handed the martial soul certificate to Tang Si. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but stopped himself.
In the end, everything he wanted to say turned into a sigh. "Ah... what a pity, what a pity! Such talent—innate full soul power—and yet it's a useless martial soul. Even if your martial soul were just a hoe, it would still be far stronger than the useless Blue Silver Grass. Ah... if that were the case, I could also... ah..."
As though he had not heard him, Tang Si dashed out the door. Seeing Old Jack at the entrance, he shouted, "Grandpa Jack, I'm heading home first! Oh, right, I can become a Soul Master!"
"Really?"
Village Chief Old Jack was overjoyed. Even his cloudy old eyes lit up as he hurriedly called after him, "Si, Si, slow down. Grandpa will come by your house later."
Meanwhile.
In another world, Tang San looked utterly bewildered.
Dai Mubai asked, "Little San, is the person in the sky screen really you? Do you know that old man?"
"Well... he's Village Chief Jack from our village. But when that Tang Si awakened his martial soul, it wasn't quite the same as when I awakened mine before... Oh, right, the person in the sky screen is called Tang Si, while I'm Tang San." Tang San was not entirely sure either.
Everyone looked toward the little boy still running happily across the sky screen.
Bibi Dong shifted her gaze to Tang San as well. Thinking over everything that had happened since the sky screen appeared, she thought, Could the sky screen be showing events that happened in the past? And can Tang Si's inner thoughts be heard by all of us?
"Your Holiness."
Yue Guan spoke up, reminding her, "The person in the sky screen is very likely Tang San. One is Three, the other is Four—three, four, three, four. There must be a connection."
Bibi Dong fell into thought before asking, "Tang San, was the man called Su Yuntao the one who awakened your martial soul?"
"Yes." Tang San nodded, then repeated, "But what happened in the sky screen differs from when I awakened my martial soul, and our names are different too."
Tang San was eager to distance himself from it. He had far too many secrets that could not be exposed.
After pondering for a moment, Bibi Dong asked everyone, "Everyone, Spirit Hall does not know what this sky screen is either. Does anyone know what is going on?"
At her words, a fresh wave of commotion broke out across the competition arena and spectator stands.
"I told you this wasn't something Spirit Hall made, but you wouldn't believe me."
"Pah! You were the first one to suspect them."
"Stop arguing. More importantly, does anyone know what this thing is?"
"It appeared out of nowhere, and even Spirit Hall elders' attacks did nothing to it. It's far too strange!"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Your Holiness, the words 'another world' appeared on the sky screen before! That most likely means the images on the sky screen are from another world!"
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, finding the reasoning sound.
At once, everyone recalled the two lines that had appeared at the beginning of the sky screen.
The first line read: [Another World Livestream is about to begin. Viewers, please participate actively.]
The second line read: [After the livestream comes to a temporary end, several lucky viewers will be selected to interact with the other world or receive livestream rewards.]
Someone asked, "Then how are we supposed to speak?"
Everyone hurriedly began experimenting. Then, suddenly—
A line of text appeared on the right side of the sky screen: [Oscar: Haha~ I'm the first one to speak on the sky screen!]
Seeing the comment, Ning Rongrong hurriedly asked, "Oscar, how did you do that? Tell me quickly."
"Hehe~ Just release your soul power and connect it to the sky screen, then you can speak. But it seems to consume a lot of soul power. I used up nearly half of mine all at once."
No one cared about the soul power consumption. They hurriedly connected to the sky screen with their soul power and began speaking through it.
Immediately, comment after comment drifted across the sky screen from right to left.
[Dai Mubai: So that's how it works.]
[Ma Hongjun: Hehe~ This young master's words have appeared on the sky screen too.]
[Feng Xiaotian: Fire Dance, I love you! I want the entire Douluo Continent to know!]
[Yue Guan: Is this all it takes?]
[Yue Guan: My inner thoughts actually turned into words on the sky screen! And everyone's name is automatically displayed too.]
[Ning Fengzhi: Truly remarkable!]
[Ning Rongrong: Hehe~ I can speak on the sky screen too.]
[Bibi Dong: Let me see how to comment.]
[Fire Dance: Get lost!]
[Hu Liena: Teacher, I will definitely win the competition.]
[Zhang Sanshun: Where did this lovesick fool come from? Hahaha~~ This is hilarious. Fire Dance probably wants to kill him, doesn't she?]
[Feng Xiaotian: Love should be shouted out loud! Fire Dance, I love you!]
The comments on the sky screen gradually went off the rails. Feng Xiaotian, seated among the spectators, panted heavily as he said to those around him, "My soul power is almost exhausted! I guess the rate of soul power consumption is related to how long the message is."
By then, many people had noticed the same thing.
Before long, the comments on the sky screen gradually became fewer, because many people with lower cultivation had already exhausted all their soul power.
The host overseeing the match couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the weakened state of both sides.
Was this match even going to continue?
[Qian Renxue: After saying so much, has no one noticed Tang Si's inner thoughts before his awakening? Even before awakening, he already knew that he was certain to awaken twin martial souls!]
[Ning Rongrong: Yeah! How could he have known he had twin martial souls before awakening?]
[Wang Erliu: Look at the name, Qian Renxue! The name of Spirit Hall's young mistress!]
Upon seeing the name [Qian Renxue], everyone couldn't help but feel a jolt in their hearts.
Back then, Spirit Hall had released word that its young mistress had died young!
Yet the name [Qian Renxue] appearing on the heavenly screen today proved beyond doubt that Spirit Hall's young mistress had not died young.
Then how old was this young mistress of Spirit Hall now? What rank was her soul power?
The major factions couldn't help muttering to themselves, their expressions grave.
At that moment, Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes at that barrage message. Memories of the past rose unbidden in her mind, and a violent aura began brewing within her.
At the same time, many people turned their gazes toward Tang San.
Tang San had already exposed the secret of his twin martial souls during the competition. So had Tang Si on the heavenly screen also awakened twin martial souls?
Was the glow emanating from his left hand beneath his trouser pocket truly a second martial soul?
Tang San opened his mouth and explained, "I don't know. Before awakening my martial soul, I didn't even know what a martial soul was..."
At that moment, Tang San was absolutely certain that the person on the heavenly screen was definitely not him!
At the same time, Tang San felt fortunate. If the person on the heavenly screen really had been himself, then the inner thoughts would have exposed the secret of his reincarnation!
