"Wulin, take this. It's all of Dad's savings. Take these ten gold soul coins and find a secluded place to ask someone to awaken your martial soul. If—just if—your innate soul power is only level six or seven, then take the token inside to the Clear Sky Sect. If..." Before he could finish, the burly man before him suddenly dropped his hand, his eyes slowly closing.

Tang Wulin picked up the storage pouch beside him, a trace of grief flashing across his face.

"Dad, I'm sorry. Our enemy is too powerful. If—if I didn't have a cheat, I wouldn't be able to avenge you either." After kneeling and kowtowing once, Tang Wulin spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"But don't worry. If I have a cheat, I'll do everything I can to avenge you. After all, I've been sick of Tang San for a long time." Tang Wulin slowly moved his father from this life into the coffin beside him.

After burying him, Tang Wulin took the storage pouch and headed outside.

Before he had taken two steps, a ding suddenly sounded in his mind.

Unbridled delight burst from Tang Wulin's eyes!

Could the system have arrived?

He knew it. With a name like his, as a transmigrator, he was bound to have a cheat!

Sure enough, the next moment—

[Welcome, Host, to the era of The Unrivaled Tang Clan on the Douluo Continent. Ding, detected Host's name as Tang Wulin.] [To make up for the error, the system is searching... matching you...] [Tang Wulin Template... loading...] [Loading complete. Copy successful.] [Ding, apologies. The system has encountered a temporary error. Please forgive the previous inconveniences. Have a pleasant journey. The previous rewards shall count as the system's compensation to you. May you become a god soon. Goodbye, dear!]

It fled with astonishing speed. Tang Wulin had not even had time to ask a question before it vanished without a trace.

He looked at the gold soul coins before him, sighed, stuffed the pouch into his clothes, and began searching everywhere for a place that could awaken his martial soul.

During the era of The Unrivaled Tang Clan, this was the most despairing part...

It was difficult to find anyone who could help him awaken his martial soul. If all else failed, perhaps he could go to Shrek Academy. With the Tang Wulin Template as cover, he at least had the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.

Tang Wulin took out the map and checked it, confirming that Shrek Academy was indeed not far from here.

As for going to the Sun-Moon Empire, that was simply unrealistic.

A six-year-old child had no way of reaching the Sun-Moon Empire when evil soul masters were everywhere.

As for staying within the three empires, unless one possessed a body martial soul, almost no sect would want them. Even if one did, they would practically be treated like dogs.

Nobles stood side by side, clans ran rampant, and in the end, Shrek Academy was actually the only way out for commoners.

After all, at Shrek Academy, if your talent was exceptionally high, you still had a chance of being admitted. Once admitted, as long as your cultivation was sufficient, you could choose to remain at the academy and have a decent future.

At other academies, you might be admitted, but what came after that? The only path was becoming a dog for those nobles.

Tang Wulin was unwilling to accept that!

It could be said that, given his current circumstances, Shrek Academy was the best choice.

As for Tang San...

Tang Wulin saw his current appearance reflected in a small river nearby. He looked somewhat similar to Tang San, while his features were gradually shifting toward Tang Wulin's.

Would Buddha Tang feel suspicious when he saw him?

Tang Wulin crossed mountains and rivers, walking for several days before he finally saw Shrek City in the distance. He let out a soft sigh of relief.

Luckily, luckily. He had not encountered any evil soul masters along the way. He could count himself fortunate.

"Little brother, are you planning to go to Shrek City?" A woman in a red academy uniform saw Tang Wulin sitting exhaustedly on a large rock nearby and immediately walked over to ask.

There seemed to be several other academy students in red following behind her.

Tang Wulin raised his head and looked at the newcomer, trying to match her with the people in his memories, only to find that he could not.

Seeing the wariness in his gaze, Zhang Lexuan smiled helplessly and explained, "My name is Zhang Lexuan. I'm an inner court disciple of Shrek Academy. If you want to go to Shrek Academy, I can take you there."

Upon hearing that she was Zhang Lexuan, Tang Wulin's eyes instantly lit up. The senior sister of the inner court!

"Big sister, can you awaken my martial soul? I can give you gold soul coins." Tang Wulin lowered his head, a glint flashing through his eyes. He immediately stepped forward, pretending to be too timid to tug at the corner of her clothes as he asked in a low voice.

"Lexuan..." An old man whose clothes looked utterly shabby slowly walked over, a chicken leg in his hand. He took a bite and said, "We still need to hunt soul beasts. If you're going to awaken his martial soul, make it quick."

Zhang Lexuan nodded.

"Come, child. Extend your right hand and stand here. Don't be afraid." Zhang Lexuan slowly released her musical martial soul. A beautiful silver crescent moon appeared behind her, while she took out six black stones from her storage soul tool and tossed them out. They floated neatly around Tang Wulin's feet.

Tang Wulin nodded and extended his right hand. In the next moment, he felt countless forces tearing through his body without pause. Suddenly, dense golden light began spreading through him.

"Ah—" Tang Wulin cried out in pain.

The chicken leg in Xuan Zi's hand froze midair. He quickly stepped forward to observe him.

But in the next moment, he was utterly disappointed. A Blue Silver Grass marked with golden patterns appeared in Tang Wulin's hand.

A trace of hesitation flashed through Tang Wulin's eyes before he slowly revealed the Clear Sky Hammer in his right hand as well.

The Clear Sky Hammer was his own martial soul, while the Blue Silver Emperor had come from the Tang Wulin Template.

By coincidence, this fulfilled the regret he had felt when reading The Legend of the Dragon King—that Tang Wulin had not possessed the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

"Twin martial souls! Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer!" Xuan Zi's eyes immediately lit up.

If it were only Blue Silver Grass, he would not have been surprised. Likewise, if it were only the Clear Sky Hammer, he would not have been overly excited.

But the combination of Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer!

Tang Wulin could feel that, within his body, the two martial souls also carried dense Golden Dragon King bloodline.

Of course, the most astonishing thing was that he could actually sense a palace, and inside it seemed to be a strand of Tang San's divine sense?!!!

It seemed that pretending to be Tang San's son would be even more perfect this way!

This must have come with the Tang Wulin Template!

Tang Wulin was practically about to laugh out loud.

Then he should be able to safely get through his weak period.

As long as he made it through, he could strive for more in the future. And even if he could not take revenge himself, he could have a little Dragon God with the Silver Dragon King!

Then the little Dragon God could avenge his grandfather!

He should not think so pessimistically yet. With the Golden Dragon King, he was guaranteed to become a God King at the very least!

Not to mention that he now possessed the identity of Nature's Child and the blessing of the Life Goddess.
