Yu Xiaogang was weak, so naturally, he failed to notice the subtle looks in Ning Fengzhi and the others' eyes.
He was still eagerly looking forward to the moment his disciple awakened his martial soul and stunned everyone.
Amid the crowd's heated discussions,
the heavenly screen finally finished its countdown and began showing Tang San's life.
[In the early morning, before the night had fully faded.]
[A blue-haired boy, thin and frail, sallow-faced, and slightly dark-skinned, sat quietly cross-legged atop a huge boulder by a cliff.]
[When he exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes,]
[a trace of purple swiftly flashed through the depths of his clear gaze.]
[After finishing his cultivation of the Purple Demon Eyes, Tang San continued practicing the other Tang Sect techniques.]
[In the end, since the Mysterious Heaven Technique remained stuck at its bottleneck and could not break through its first level, he could only stop and hurry home.]
[The moment he opened the door, he saw Tang Hao, drunk and alone, still snoring away. His slovenly appearance was unbearable to look at, yet Tang San still cleaned up the house and began washing Tang Hao's clothes and cooking for him.]
Everyone in the White World fell silent.
Their gazes toward Tang Hao also gained a hint of something strange.
The higher-ups of the major factions had originally wanted to see what heavenly treasures or training methods Tang Hao, who came from the Clear Sky Sect, would use to raise Tang San's innate soul power.
Even if they could only learn a little from it, it would not be a complete loss.
But the result...
You actually made a four- or five-year-old child, one who could not even reach the stove, wash your clothes, cook your meals, and take care of your daily needs.
For a Titled Douluo, you really had no shame at all.
If the late Ah Yin had known Tang Hao treated her child like this, then no matter how gentle her personality was, she probably would have beaten Tang Hao up within minutes.
"Living in that kind of environment, Tang San still had full innate soul power?"
"Could it have something to do with the Mysterious Heaven Technique he mentioned? I remember he said he got stuck at the bottleneck of its first level. Isn't that just like us before we absorbed a soul ring?"
"No matter. Let's keep watching. Once he absorbs his first soul ring, we'll know the answer."
[One day, after Tang San finished eating with Tang Hao and learned blacksmithing for a while, Old Jack, the village chief of Holy Soul Village, came to tell them that he would take Tang San to the Spirit Hall branch tomorrow to awaken his martial soul.]
[Tang Hao yawned and waved his hand, telling him to leave.]
[His indifferent attitude infuriated the village chief.]
[The next day.]
[Under the guidance of the blind Douluo Su Yuntao, Tang San and several children from the village began the martial soul awakening ceremony.]
[In a small village at the empire's border like this, it was usually extremely difficult for a soul master with soul power to be born. Yet Old Jack still held onto hope, praying that good fortune would descend upon Holy Soul Village.]
[However, reality was ultimately cruel.]
[After several useless martial souls such as sickles, kitchen knives, hoes, and Blue Silver Grass were awakened in succession, Su Yuntao's patience was completely exhausted.]
[Especially when Blue Silver Grass appeared in the hands of the final child, Tang San, Su Yuntao did not even have the interest to test his soul power. He turned around and began packing, preparing to leave.]
[However, after Tang San repeatedly pleaded with him, Su Yuntao still handed over the testing ball.]
[The moment Tang San took it and began circulating the Mysterious Heaven Technique, the testing ball produced an enormous suction force and erupted with dazzling light, thoroughly startling Su Yuntao.]
["Full innate soul power! It's actually full innate soul power! This is the highest level a person can reach at the time of martial soul awakening. He's a peerless super genius..."]
[Su Yuntao was incredibly excited.]
[But after seeing the Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's hand, his excitement gradually turned to regret. "What a pity. This child's martial soul is a useless one."]
[Old Jack did not care about any of that. He immediately beat gongs and drums as he brought Tang San home, intending to tell Tang Hao the good news.]
[Who would have thought that Tang Hao merely turned over, his words filled with mockery toward the identity of a soul master.]
[Old Jack was furious. After chatting with Tang San for a few moments, he left.]
[Not long afterward, Tang Hao learned from Tang San that his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass.]
[Depressed, Tang Hao took a huge gulp of wine. But before he could finish drinking, he saw Tang San reveal his second martial soul—the Clear Sky Hammer.]
[Thus, Tang Hao immediately gave everyone a demonstration of what it meant to change faces like a Sichuan opera performer.]
[The previously lifeless Clear Sky Douluo grabbed Tang San and pulled him into his embrace, weeping bitterly as he instructed him to use the hammer in his left hand to protect the grass in his right. He then began teaching him the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Method.]
"Good lord. As expected of a Titled Douluo. I wholeheartedly concede defeat to that face-changing speed."
"The moment he heard it was a useless martial soul, he had no interest at all. The moment he heard it was twin martial souls, he cried tears of joy!"
"Does Tang Hao even love his wife? Why did he have no reaction at all when he heard Tang San's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass?"
Xiao Wu paid no attention whatsoever to the discussions around her. She kept staring patiently at the heavenly screen.
Until Tang San and Old Jack mentioned the words "Nuoding City."
Xiao Wu suddenly became excited. One hand grabbed Ning Rongrong while the other grabbed Zhu Zhuqing, and she kept shaking them.
"Rongrong, Zhuqing, did you hear that? It's Nuoding City! This is where I met Third Brother."
Upon hearing that, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing became very curious.
Back when they were at Shrek Academy, they had often heard Xiao Wu speak of her glorious exploits as the big sister of the junior soul master academy for six years. Now, they could finally see it for themselves.
Yu Xiaogang likewise straightened his back.
With an unfathomable expression, he reminded Flender, Liu Erlong, and Qin Ming beside him, "Watch the next scenes carefully."
After all, what came next was his shining moment—when, relying on his rich life experience, he exposed the secret of Tang San's twin martial souls in a single sentence and accepted him as his disciple.
Whenever Yu Xiaogang thought of the shocked expression Tang San had worn back then,
he felt an indescribable thrill rush straight to the top of his head.
[Following Tang Hao's advice, Tang San headed to the junior soul master academy in Nuoding City.]
[However, before they even entered the academy, they encountered their first round of harassment.]
[Seeing their ragged clothes, the academy gatekeeper refused to believe that Tang San possessed full innate soul power with Blue Silver Grass, and he began driving them away.]
[Tang San's expression immediately turned cold. He silently released the safety on his Silent Sleeve Arrow and thought, "Third rule of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record's general principles: once you have determined someone is an enemy, if they have chosen the path to death, show no mercy. Otherwise, you will only invite more trouble."]
The Spirit Hall experts all widened their eyes.
They remarked that, as expected of someone born a killer, this brat wanted to take lives at the slightest disagreement.
[Fortunately, Master Yu Xiaogang spoke up at that moment to resolve the situation for them. After seeing the information on Tang San's Spirit Hall certificate, a sharp gleam flashed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes. He then sternly reprimanded the gatekeeper before bringing Tang San into the academy.]
[As the two chatted, they eventually brought up the matter of taking on a master and becoming a disciple.]
[Seeing that Tang San remained unmoved, Yu Xiaogang simply exposed the secret of Tang San's twin martial souls.]
[He also brought up his ten core martial soul competencies, as well as all kinds of information on Blue Silver Grass that he had investigated through Spirit Hall, successfully bluffing Tang San into a daze.]
Yu Xiaogang curled his lips into a crooked smile, delighted as he prepared to boast about his thought process to Flender beside him.
But in the next moment,
although Tang San on the heavenly screen was shocked, the small hand behind his back had already gripped the trigger of the Silent Sleeve Arrow, killing intent blazing in his eyes.
Yu Xiaogang: "???"
