Tang Chuan quickly finished the enrollment procedures for Tang San, but he also intended to move into the academy himself. After all, Tang San would be studying here for the next six years, so he couldn't afford to be unprepared.

One had to understand that a soul power level of sixty in Nuoding City meant much more than just being a teacher; even if he wanted to be the dean, the other party would likely agree.

However, Tang Chuan still registered under the title of a teacher and secured a private dormitory room for himself.

He brought Tang San to his room and opened the door to find that the furniture and amenities were quite complete. It couldn't be called luxurious, but it was definitely the best treatment available.

Sitting down on a chair, Tang Chuan looked at Tang San opposite him with his blue eyes, his tone gentle.

"Xiao San, your emotions clearly shifted just now when that Yu Xiaogang mentioned you had twin martial souls. Could it be..."

"Yes, Teacher. This disciple does indeed possess a second martial soul!"

Tang San did not hide it; instead, he slowly raised his hand, and a pitch-black hammer appeared. Tang Chuan appeared to be examining the Clear Sky Hammer, but in reality, he was secretly scrutinizing Tang San's expression.

Under the influence of the Blue Silver Domain, he could fully sense the shifts in Tang San's emotions.

To no surprise, there was only reverence on the boy's face; the murderous intent that Yu Xiaogang displayed in the original story after guessing the truth was completely absent here.

This left Tang Chuan inwardly satisfied. Since Tang San felt no murderous intent or wariness, it meant he truly respected him as his master from the bottom of his heart.

"Xiao San, isn't it a coincidence? I also have twin martial souls! And they are also the Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Silver Grass!"

Tang Chuan's eyes flickered as he pulled out his own, much larger Clear Sky Hammer.

"This is!"

Tang San's eyes were filled with disbelief. He knew it! Being able to see his own reflection in his teacher, sharing the same surname Tang, and possessing the same martial souls—this was his real father!

As for Tang Hao, Tang San subconsciously clenched his fists. Since he was small, he had treated Tang San like a nanny, taking care of every aspect of his life. If not for the help of Xuantian and Old Jack, he might have truly starved to death.

So, the question arose: why did Father not recognize him? There was only one truth! A flash of wisdom crossed Tang San's eyes.

Tang Hao must have stolen him away while Father Tang Chuan was off guard. How else could all of this be explained?

"Speaking of which, Xiao San, do you know? I've always felt you were very much like me. I always feel as if we've met before!"

Tang San's eyes grew moist. Father, it's me! Why don't you remember me? It's all that damned Tang Hao's fault!

"Teacher, if possible, I would like to acknowledge you as my godfather and view you as my own biological father!"

"This... how could I accept that?"

Tang Chuan said this, but his body stood up very honestly. Seeing this, Tang San felt a surge of joy and knelt straight down before Tang Chuan once more.

"Father!"

"No need to call me that. In public, address me as Teacher. In private, calling me Father is fine!"

Tang San felt a bit disappointed. Does Father think my current appearance is too mediocre? That must be it. Father is so handsome, I, Tang San, am perhaps not worthy of him yet!

It must be because I am still young. I certainly won't be lacking in the future!

"Alright, Xiao San, get up first. Let Father personally explain your martial soul to you."

Tang San sat upright in his chair, like an obedient son about to listen to his father's instructions.

"I won't say much more about the Blue Silver Grass. You possess the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor within you, which is destined to evolve. Moreover, twin martial souls must be of comparable quality to coexist."

"Therefore, your other martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, is an extremely powerful one. It is also hailed as the number one tool martial soul on the continent!"

The Clear Sky Hammer was not strong because of its quality alone, but because of the Ring Detonation and Great Sumeru Hammer techniques invented by the former Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Chen.

"As someone possessing the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, you naturally need to absorb soul rings with life attributes to accelerate the awakening of your bloodline."

If it were ordinary Blue Silver Grass, perhaps one could try following Yu Xiaogang's path, but it was completely unsuitable for Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor. He should instead follow the path of: Wildfires cannot destroy it; the spring breeze brings it back to life.

"The Clear Sky Hammer will be your primary means of attack in the future, while the Blue Silver Emperor is more for sustainability and recovery. But for now, listen to your father and focus on cultivating the Blue Silver Grass first."

"Xiao San understands!"

Tang San nodded heavily. His father was imparting experience and knowledge to him, and Tang San relished this atmosphere—warm and filled with the feeling of what he called home. If only Father would hold his hand a little more, how wonderful would that be?

"Then, Godfather, why is the Clear Sky Hammer called the Clear Sky Hammer?"

As someone from a traditional feudal background in his past life, Tang San was no stranger to the term "Clear Sky," but since it was named as such here, its status must be extraordinary, right?

"That is natural. The Clear Sky Hammer is inherited from the Clear Sky Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects. The other two sects are the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"The Clear Sky Sect..."

"Correct. However, the Clear Sky Sect has now gone into seclusion and no longer appears in the world; all disciples have returned to the sect."

Tang San's eyes flickered. All disciples returned to the sect? Then Father must be from the Clear Sky Sect too, right? The fact that he was still out here made Tang San think of a possibility that filled him with rage.

Could Father have been expelled from the Clear Sky Sect?

Damn the Clear Sky Sect! They are unworthy of the name 'Clear Sky'! How dare they arbitrarily expel the father I, Tang San, respect the most! You have already earned your death!

"Alright, that is all in the past. Pack up; later, Father will take you to buy some daily necessities."

Tang San certainly couldn't live with Tang Chuan. Putting aside whether Tang San would agree, Tang Chuan himself definitely wouldn't.

Two grown men living together—was that even appropriate?

"Remember, what do you call me in public?"

"Teacher!"

Tang Chuan nodded, then took Tang San out to purchase daily necessities.

Although Tang Chuan had lived and cultivated on his own since childhood, he still had plenty of savings, so he waved his hand and bought Tang San several sets of high-quality bedding.

This shopping spree left Tang San so touched he could barely string his words together.

After bringing Tang San to the dormitory building, just as they were about to part ways, Tang Chuan remembered he hadn't given him a storage soul tool yet.

"Xiao San, take this."

Tang Chuan retrieved another belt from the storage belt at his waist and handed it over.

"This is a storage soul tool. The jade stones on the belt can all be used to store items, so you can categorize your things accordingly."

"Thank you, Teacher! I think I'll call this belt Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges!"

"That's a very nice name."

Tang Chuan waved his hand and turned to leave. Tang San stood where he was, cradling the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges in his hands and watching the other's retreating back with eyes full of joy and happiness.

This was a feeling Tang Hao had never given him, especially now that Tang San was internally questioning whether he had even been stolen by Tang Hao in the first place.
