"What?!"

Tang Hao leaped out of bed, his face filled with excitement.

"You have Twin Martial Souls?!"

Tang San nodded, looking somewhat awkward.

Tang Hao placed both hands on his shoulders and said excitedly:

"Quick, show me your Martial Souls!"

Tang San looked conflicted.

"Father, do you really want to see them?"

"Hurry up!"

Tang San gritted his teeth. A dog appeared in his left hand, and a fart in his right!

Tang Hao: "?????"

Tang Hao stood frozen on the spot, his mouth hanging open in an O shape.

That familiar aura... Clear Sky... Dog?

Blue Silver Fart?

Tang Hao was a complete mess, unable to say a word for a long while.

Damn it, weren't descendants' Martial Souls supposed to be inherited from either their father or mother? What the hell was this?

Seeing this, Tang San timidly asked:

"Father, are my Martial Souls very strange?"

Tang Hao thought, Obviously! How did I end up having a freak like you?

"Oh, right, Father. That Su Yuntao said I have Innate Full Soul Power."

"Innate Full Soul Power?"

Tang Hao was startled. "Really?"

Tang San nodded, and Tang Hao immediately fell into thought.

Although Little San's Martial Souls were a bit strange, the Clear Sky Dog could be cultivated as a Beast Spirit. If properly trained, it might even become a powerful Beast Spirit.

As for Blue Silver Fart... Tang Hao did not even want to complain about it.

"Little San, summon your Clear Sky Dog and let me see it!"

Tang San nodded. With a thought, a majestic vicious dog appeared at his side.

Tang Hao exclaimed in surprise:

"It has its own consciousness? It's actually a Mutated Martial Soul!"

Tang San asked curiously:

"Father, what is a Mutated Martial Soul?"

Tang Hao explained:

"Generally speaking, Beast Spirits manifest by possessing the Soul Master, but your Martial Soul can actually be summoned. That makes it a Mutated Martial Soul. Mutated Martial Souls can be good or bad. Try controlling the Clear Sky Dog to bite that pile of straw in the corner."

Tang San suddenly asked:

"Father, you know so much. Are you a Soul Master?"

Tang Hao's expression stiffened. Damn it, today had been too shocking. He had let it slip!

He casually brushed it off:

"Yes, but my rank isn't high. I didn't tell you because I wanted to train you. All right, hurry up and control your Martial Soul!"

Tang San nodded and controlled the Clear Sky Dog to attack the straw pile.

He also wanted to see what abilities his Clear Sky Dog actually had.

The majestic Clear Sky Dog received Tang San's command, bared its teeth at the straw pile, and radiated the aura of a ferocious beast.

Tang Hao was overjoyed. It really was a fierce beast—very strong!

However, in the next second, the Clear Sky Dog suddenly turned around and farted at the straw pile!

Blue Silver Fart!

Tang Hao collapsed with a thud and fainted!

Tang San was horrified.

"Father! Father, what's wrong?!"

Tang Hao:

Bai Yu sat at home, examining his Human Emperor Banner.

"One body, twin births? In other words, one Soul Ring can awaken two Soul Skills for me?"

He studied the Human Emperor Banner with great interest. Under the control of his thoughts, it sometimes emitted holy golden light and sometimes gave off a dark aura. The contrast was immense.

"I'll call the golden one the Human Emperor Banner when I'm out in public. That name is good—it can cover up the black Myriad Souls Banner. The Myriad Souls Banner's greatest uses are Soul Devouring, Soul Refining, and soul nurturing. I can't let anyone discover it."

"The Human Emperor Banner's purpose is much simpler. For now, it seems to be Support System. It boosts people within a certain range, speeds up cultivation and healing, and makes others within its range trust me more. That's a pretty good passive ability too."

After studying it for a while, Bai Yu sighed.

"Looks like my persona from now on will be that of a Support System Soul Master. I can't show any combat power on the surface, and no one can discover my Soul Refining. That means I need to build a good relationship with Tang San. On one hand, I can alter the plot by following him. On the other, following him and Shrek should provide a decent amount of safety."

"I'll follow Shrek in the early stage, but by the middle stage, I'll definitely need to establish my own faction. Otherwise, the Myriad Souls Banner will be difficult to cultivate. Heh heh, once I find an opportunity, I'll first bring Ah Yin into the Human Emperor Banner. No... I'll invite your mother into the Human Emperor Banner for a chat!"

While Bai Yu made up his mind, Tang Hao slowly woke up on the other side. The moment he saw Tang San standing beside the bed, his blood pressure rose again.

"Little San, y-your Clear Sky Dog only knows how to fart?!"

Tang San nodded, looking embarrassed.

Tang Hao nearly coughed up blood. He lay on the bed and finally accepted reality.

"Sigh, forget it, forget it. At least you have Innate Full Soul Power. Farting is farting. There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters. Oh, right. Did anyone else awaken a Martial Soul besides you?"

Tang San thought for a moment and said:

"Yes. I arrived late, but I asked around. Bai Yu awakened a banner. I heard it's a Support-type Spirit, and he also has Innate Full Soul Power!"

Tang Hao was shocked. He climbed out of bed and fell into deep thought.

A banner, Innate Full Soul Power, a Support-type Spirit... Hiss, this boy would surely become someone great in the future!

"Little San, you must build a good relationship with him. A powerful Support System Soul Master is someone every faction will fight over! No, go find him right now!"

Tang San was bewildered. Half pushed and half driven by Tang Hao, he left the house and headed toward Bai Yu's home.

Tang Hao, meanwhile, monitored him from the shadows. If Little San managed to draw Bai Yu out and Bai Yu had joined Spirit Hall or was hostile toward Little San, then Tang Hao would immediately kill him to silence him!

Threats had to be strangled in the cradle!

Knock, knock, knock!

"Who is it?"

Bai Yu opened the door and was slightly surprised to see Tang San.

"Little San, why are you here?"

Tang San remembered Tang Hao's instructions and revealed a smile.

"Xiao Yu, we both have Innate Full Soul Power. I came to exchange experiences with you."

"Exchange experiences?"

Bai Yu roughly understood. Tang Hao had guessed that Su Yuntao would definitely try to recruit him, so he had sent Tang San to test him. The moment Bai Yu proved unusable to them, Tang Hao would immediately kill him to silence him!

Thus, Bai Yu smiled.

"Sure, let's go!"

Tang San smiled as well.

"Let's go to the back mountain. There are fewer people there, so it'll be more convenient to cultivate!"

Going to the back mountain? He probably thought it would be more convenient to murder someone there!

Bai Yu complained inwardly, but still followed Tang San.

I'm Brother San's good brother. What do I have to fear?

The two arrived at the back mountain. Tang San deliberately summoned his Clear Sky Dog Martial Soul first and sighed.

"Xiao Yu, as you can see, my Martial Soul is a dog, but... sigh!"

Bai Yu asked:

"Little San, Beast Spirits are pretty good too. Why are you sighing?"

Tang San said in grief and indignation:

"But my dog only knows how to fart!"

Bai Yu: "?"

So you combined the Clear Sky Dog and Blue Silver Fart?

Tang San looked grief-stricken, half sincere and half acting.

On one hand, Tang Hao had instructed him that, from today onward, his Blue Silver Fart and Clear Sky Dog had to be combined into one Martial Soul. To the outside world, it would be called the Blue Silver Dog.

If anyone asked, he would say it had mutated from Blue Silver Fart. After all, no one would investigate too deeply into a farting dog.

After all, what could Blue Silver Fart do as a Martial Soul? Fart people to death? Its combat power and effects were ridiculously bad, and he would have to turn his back to the enemy when farting. What if he was assassinated from behind before he could even fart?

The Clear Sky Dog, at least, had its own consciousness. Since it only knew how to fart anyway, it might as well be the one doing the farting. It even had a bit of intimidation factor.

But Twin Martial Souls were still Twin Martial Souls. No matter how trashy or bizarre they were, Twin Martial Souls would attract enormous attention.

Tang Hao had a grudge against Spirit Hall and could not reveal himself. To keep Tang San's Twin Martial Souls from drawing attention, he could only make Tang San display the two Martial Souls as one, then fool everyone by calling it a Mutated Martial Soul.

On the other hand, Tang San's grief and indignation were not entirely an act. He was genuinely furious. Why were his Martial Souls so disgusting?!
