Dark World — Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School
"That Tang Hao is truly a bastard!"
Even knowing that the Tang San in the sky was a reincarnated soul from another world, Bone Douluo still couldn't hold back his anger.
Watching a one-year-old child fetch water, chop wood, and handle all household chores was simply unbearable.
If Tang Hao were his son, he would have dealt with him long ago.
Shrek Academy
The atmosphere turned subtle.
After witnessing Tang San's childhood, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others could not help but feel sympathy.
Even Zhu Zhuqing, who had endured a harsh upbringing, felt that her own past was not as miserable.
At least before her martial soul awakened, her parents and elder sister still cared for her.
Unlike Tang San…
He lost his mother early, and his father was no better than a stranger.
Four Years Later
Time passed quickly.
Over the next four years, Tang San, with his small frame, carried the entire household.
Fetching water, chopping firewood, cooking, washing clothes, and even attending basic schooling, he handled everything alone.
Yet despite Tang Hao's indifference, Tang San continued to respect him deeply.
Secret Cultivation
Behind the scenes, Tang San quietly cultivated.
The Mysterious Heaven Skill.
The Purple Demon Eye.
And other hidden techniques of the Tang Sect.
At first, he trained in secret at home, later moving to a small mountain behind Holy Soul Village.
On that mountain, after finishing his cultivation, Tang San frowned.
"It still doesn't work… why can't I break through the first level?"
"I never faced such a bottleneck before. Is this world different?"
Speculation
In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Bone Douluo was puzzled.
"Why can't his technique progress?"
Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head.
"No, that shouldn't be the issue. Since he can become a god in the future, the technique itself must be valid."
"It is more likely related to the rules of this world."
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Just like a soul master cannot break through level 10 without obtaining a soul ring…"
"Perhaps his technique is also restricted until he awakens his martial soul."
Sword Douluo spoke coldly.
"If that is true, then once he awakens…"
"Would the first level of this technique be equivalent to level 10 soul power?"
The implication stunned everyone.
If true, this technique could simulate innate soul power.
A method that could change the entire cultivation system.
Even Ning Fengzhi felt a surge of shock.
Return Home
Tang San eventually gave up for the day and returned to the blacksmith shop.
After waking Tang Hao and feeding him porridge, he pointed toward a piece of iron and asked for it.
Tang Hao glanced at him.
"You want to become a blacksmith?"
Tang San nodded.
After a brief exchange, Tang Hao began teaching him forging.
Martial Soul Awakening
Not long after, Old Jack arrived and informed them that the awakening ceremony would take place in three days.
When the day came, Tang San followed Old Jack to the Spirit Hall branch.
There, a young Spirit Hall deacon named Su Yuntao prepared the awakening array.
He introduced himself, then summoned his martial soul, transforming into a wolf-like form, which frightened the other children.
One by one, the children awakened their martial souls.
Most were ordinary tools or weak plants, none possessing soul power.
Finally, it was Tang San's turn.
Twin Martial Souls
Under the awakening array, Tang San revealed his martial soul.
Blue Silver Grass.
A result that disappointed Su Yuntao.
But hidden in his other hand…
A small black hammer silently appeared.
In Spirit Hall, far away, Qian Daoliu was shocked.
"Twin martial souls…"
"No wonder he can become a god."
At Shrek Academy, everyone stared at Tang San in disbelief.
Even Yu Xiaogang, still pale, showed pride.
Tang San himself straightened his back, a trace of confidence returning.
Innate Full Soul Power
Although disappointed, Su Yuntao still tested Tang San's soul power.
The result shocked him.
Innate full soul power.
Yet he still sighed in regret, believing Blue Silver Grass to be useless.
After issuing the certificate, he left.
Conflict
Outside, Old Jack excitedly offered Tang San a work-study opportunity at Notting Academy.
But Tang Hao refused without hesitation.
He used the excuse that Tang San needed to stay and cook, dismissing Blue Silver Grass as worthless.
This left many watching in confusion.
Given Tang Hao's background, he should know better.
A child with twin martial souls and innate full soul power…
How could his martial spirit be ordinary?
The Revelation
After Old Jack left, Tang San finally spoke.
"Father… I actually have another martial soul."
He raised his left hand.
The Clear Sky Hammer appeared.
Tang Hao's Change
The moment Tang Hao saw it, everything changed.
He rushed forward instantly, grabbing Tang San tightly.
All his previous indifference vanished.
In its place was shock, emotion, and something deeper.
His voice trembled.
"Remember this…"
"Use the hammer in your left hand…"
"To protect the grass in your right."
Final Reaction
Seeing this sudden transformation, countless people were stunned.
Just moments ago, he was cold and indifferent.
Now, he appeared like a devoted father.
The contrast was so extreme that it left everyone speechless.
Was this really the same Tang Hao?
