Old Jack was clearly very patient with Tang San. In his heart, the most sensible child in the village was none other than Tang San in front of him. It was hard to imagine how a father like that could have such an obedient son.
"Spirit Grandmaster is the title of a Spirit Master. Soul masters are the noblest occupation on our entire Douluo Continent. They can be powerful warriors and possess outstanding support abilities. But no matter what kind of Spirit Master, their ranks were arranged according to the same title.”
"Soul Masters all possess their own martial soul force. According to the strength of their martial soul force, they are divided into a total of ten titles. Each title was divided into ten levels. Those who had just entered the sect were called Soul Warriors. Once their martial souls awakened, everyone would become a Soul Warrior. If martial souls could be cultivated, when one's soul power reached rank 11, one would enter the next title, which was soul master. And the Spirit Grandmaster was the third in the entire title sequence. Reaching the Spirit Grandmaster realm was already a rather powerful Spirit Master. The ten titles were like this.”
"Spirit Warrior, Spirit Master, Spirit Grandmaster, Spirit Elder, Spirit Ancestor, Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, Spirit Sage, Spirit Douluo, and Title Douluo. The name of our Douluo Continent was derived from this. Legend had it that Title Douluos who had reached rank ninety and above could give themselves a title. They were simply invincible existences!”
"Our Holy Spirit Village produced an eighth rank Spirit Sage a hundred years ago. In the entire Nuoding City, or even the entire Fasino Province, it was extremely rare.”
Tang Hao pursed his lips." Old Jack, that's just a legend.”
As if his reverse scale had been touched, Old Jack was furious." What do you mean by legend? Legends come from facts. Tang Hao, you've been in the village for six years, you should understand the position that Spirit Sage holds in our hearts. If I hear you insult Lord Spirit Sage again, I'll expel you from the village. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm a mistress, do you think I'd be willing to come to your doghouse?”
Tang Hao did not get angry. He continued to hit the farming tool in his hand as if he did not hear Jack.
Jack fiercely glared at him, then said to Tang San: "Don't be as dispirited as your father in the future. Alright, I'll be leaving first. I'll pick you up in three days.”
After saying that, Old Jack left the blacksmith shop in a rage.
"Daddy." Tang San called out.
"Hmm?" Tang Hao coldly glanced at him. Seeing the coldness in his father's eyes, Tang San had no choice but to swallow back the words he wanted to say. He lowered his head and went back to his room to continue his 10,000 knocks.
Night fell. After dinner, Tang Hao wiped his mouth and walked out of habit. To him, this was just a routine business. He went out for a drink. Drinking the worst ale.
"Dad, I'm not going back. Wait a minute." Tang San didn't have time to clear the dishes, first calling out to Tang Hao.
"What are you doing?" Tang Hao glared at him impatiently. Even though Tang Hao had never hit Tang San, Tang San didn't know why, but he was naturally somewhat afraid of his father. Even though he had lived two lives, he could not change this feeling.
"Then I'll finish forging ten thousand times.”Tang San said.
"Oh?" Tang Hao's eyes lit up." Let me see."”
"Alright." Tang San quickly ran back to his room, and very quickly, he ran out holding an iron block.
The metal block was completely black. Although its shape was irregular, each section looked extremely shiny, and black light could be seen faintly. The whole piece of iron was about the size of one of the original four iron lumps, and Tang San used Mysterious Heaven Skill to hold it without feeling any strain.
Tang Hao grabbed the black metal piece and examined it carefully." Do you understand what I'm saying now?”
"Tempered into steel, even the worst quality metal will become high quality through constant forging and purification. Dad, are you trying to tell me this?”
Tang Hao realized that his son had surprised him quite a bit these days. He returned the metal piece to him." Then you can continue." When you have forged it to the size of a fist, show it to me.”With that, he turned around and walked out of the house.
According to what he originally said, forging that iron block ten thousand times could teach Tang San forging, but now he seemed to have broken his promise. But Tang San didn't care about this, he only thought about what Tang Hao said.
"The size of a fist?" Could such a large piece of iron really be forged to the size of a fist? Even though it was only a quarter of its original size, Tang San clearly understood that as he continued forging, the density of the iron blocks became greater and greater, and shrinking the size became even more difficult. Forging it to the size of a fist was definitely not something that could be done with another 10,000 strikes.
Tempered into steel, then what was tempered into steel? Tang San's eyes flashed with a brilliant light, his feet slightly shifting, his body already nimbly drilling into his room. Soon, the clanging sounds of knocking rang out in the Blacksmith Shop again.
Three days passed very quickly. Tang San would still go to the summit every morning to do his routine homework. After returning home, besides cooking, he would forge. It could be considered a competition with that piece of pig iron. Every day, the speed of the hammering increased. Mysterious Heaven Skill helped him recover his strength quickly, allowing him to maintain this continuous forging process.
"Little San, grandpa is here to pick you up." Old Jack arrived at the blacksmith shop on time. Perhaps because he was annoyed with Tang Hao, this time he didn't even walk in, only calling Tang San from outside.
Tang San glanced at his father who had just eaten breakfast. "Go ahead," Tang Hao said coldly. Don't delay lunch."
Tang San replied, then walked out of the blacksmith shop.
Led by old Jack, Tang San followed him to the Spirit Hall in the middle of the village. Of course, this so-called Spirit Hall was merely a slightly larger wooden house.
Because everyone had a martial soul, every year there would be children undergoing martial soul awakening. Therefore, one could see the silhouette of Spirit Hall anywhere on the Douluo Continent. Of course, these were only the sub-palaces. Their levels were different.
There were a total of eight spirit awakening children in Holy Spirit Village this year, and Tang San under old Jack's lead was the last to arrive.
The children in the village didn't think highly of Tang San, despising the poor and loving the rich wasn't just among the nobles, but among the commoners this kind of situation was even more obvious. And Tang San himself was a person of two lives, his actual age had long since surpassed thirty, so he naturally wasn't willing to have dealings with these children. To him, it was better to use the extra time to cultivate. Therefore, he did not have any childhood playmates.
Besides Village Chief Jack and the eight children present, there was still a youth in Spirit Hall. This person appeared to be in his twenties, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his appearance very handsome. He was dressed in white, with a black cloak on his back. In the middle of his chest was a fist-sized word,'soul'. This was the standard attire of Spirit Hall's direct subordinates.
On the left side of his chest, there was a badge carved with a long sword. On the badge, there were a total of three long swords intertwining. People like Jack who were very familiar with Spirit Masters knew that the number three represented a Spirit Master's third rank Spirit Grandmaster title, and the long sword represented that this Spirit Hall deacon was a Spirit Master.
"Hello, respected War Spirit Master, I'll have to trouble you this time.”Old Jack bowed respectfully to the young man.
The young man's brows revealed a faint arrogance. He bowed slightly in return." I don't have much time. Let's start now."”
"Alright," Old Jack said. Children, this is the Battle Soul Master from Nuoding City. Next, he will guide you to activate your martial soul. You must cooperate well with Grandmaster for spirit awakening. Grandpa is looking forward to seeing someone among you who can become a Spirit Master.”
"Alright, you said the same thing last year," the young man said impatiently. Was it really that easy to become a Spirit Master? I've already walked through six villages, and there's not a single person with spirit power. I don't have a suitable martial soul."
Old Jack's eyes revealed a trace of sadness. He sighed and said,"That's right! Only the inheritors of the great sects could easily become Spirit Masters. It's too difficult for ordinary people like us.”Shaking his head, he walked out of Spirit Hall.
The young man's gaze fell on the eight children in front of him. As Spirit Hall's patrolling deacon, helping ordinary people awaken their spirits was his necessary job, and he had long since become accustomed to it.”His attitude towards these children was much gentler.
The eight children stood still in front of the youngster, Tang San standing on the far left. He was smaller than other children his age.
"I'm called Su Yuntao, twenty sixth ranked Spirit Grandmaster, I'm your guide. Now, I will awaken your martial souls one by one. Remember, no matter what happens, don't be afraid.”
While speaking, Su Yuntao opened his own package on the table at the side, taking out two things from inside, six jet-black round stones and a sparkling blue crystal ball.
Su Yuntao placed the six black stones in a hexagon on the ground, then indicated to the first child on the right to stand inside.
"Don't be afraid. Close your eyes and feel carefully.”While speaking, Su Yuntao's eyes suddenly lit up. Under the children's horrified gazes, he shouted in a low voice,”
A faint green light was first released from the center of his forehead. It went up along the center of his forehead and entered his hair bun.
Su Yuntao's hair was originally black, but after that green light poured in, it instantly turned grey, and rapidly grew longer. The same color of hair appeared on his bare hands, at the same time, his body also seemed to have expanded a lot. His entire body was filled with muscles.
Spirit Hall's special clothing was very elastic, and didn't burst because of his body size. Su Yuntao's eyes had already turned a faint green, the sharp claws on his ten fingers flickered with a faint cold light. Two rings of light lit up under his feet and lingered from his feet to the top of his head. One of them was white, and the other was yellow. It was extremely strange.
The one he called out to was a boy in the black stone. Seeing the change in Su Yuntao's body, he immediately cried out in alarm,"Ah!" He was so frightened that he wanted to run away.
The green light in Su Yun Tao's eyes was indeed frightening. This is my martial soul, Lone Wolf. If any of you can become a Spirit Master in the future, you will also use the same ability.”
The only one who wasn't too afraid was Tang San. Compared to surprise, Tang San was even more curious.
For the first time, Tang San discovered that he had developed an interest in the Spirit Master profession. Right now he was already somewhat impatient to know what his spirit was.
Su Yuntao's hands quickly clapped out, six faint green lights poured into the six black stones on the ground. Immediately, a layer of golden light was released from the six stones, forming a pale golden light barrier, enveloping that child from before.
For some reason, the child who had been crying earlier immediately calmed down as soon as he was enveloped by the faint golden light. He stood there in a daze.
Golden specks of light floated out from the black stones on the ground and entered the boy's body.
The boy's body began to tremble slightly. He wanted to call out but could not make a sound.
"Give me your right hand." Su Yuntao's dark green eyes stared at the boy, commanding in a dignified manner.
The boy subconsciously extended his right hand. Instantly, all the light spots surged out. In an instant, a sickle appeared in his palm.
It seemed that the sickle was not an illusion, but a real existence.
"It's a tool spirit." Could scythes be used as weapons? It should be barely."
The golden light gradually faded away. The boy looked at the small sickle in his hand in surprise and was at a loss.
"Your spirit is a sickle, tool spirit. Come, let me see if you have spirit power. If one possessed spirit power, even tool spirits could be used to cultivate as a battle soul master. After all, scythes had a certain degree of attack power.”
"Master, what should I do?”The boy asked timidly.
"Use your mind to take back your spirit. In the future, if he wanted to use it again, he would have to summon it with his mind.”
The boy tried for a long time before withdrawing the sickle in his hand. Su Yuntao handed the blue crystal ball in his hand to him, indicating for him to place his right hand on it.
The boy's tender little hand and Su Yuntao's wolf claw were placed on the top and bottom of the crystal ball respectively, the contrast was extremely obvious.
After a moment, Su Yuntao said somewhat disappointedly: "No soul power. You can't become a Spirit Master. Go to the side first."
The same scene continued to play out, successively awakening the spirits of five more children. Their spirits were all some hoes, sickles and similar farming tools, not even a single beast spirit appeared. As for spirit power, they were all judged as 'none' by Su Yuntao.
It was the seventh child's turn, also the last one before Tang San.
Continuing to use spirit power, Su Yuntao already seemed somewhat tired, but he was still prepared to help these eight children complete the awakening process.
The golden specks of light gathered. This time, it was no longer a farming tool. There was a change. A light blue blade of grass appeared in the girl's palm, gently swaying.
Tang San vaguely felt that he had seen this kind of blue grass before. Very quickly, he remembered that this grass was called Blue Silver Grass, and could be seen everywhere in the village. It was as common as the grass in his original world. Other than its tenacious vitality, it had no other use. However, he did not recognize her at first glance because of the faint golden light barrier around her.
Even though it wasn't a farming tool, the disappointment in Su Yuntao's eyes was even more obvious, It had no attack, no defense, and no support abilities. Bluesilver Grass was also considered the standard form of a trash spirit.”As he spoke, he passed the blue crystal ball to the girl according to the procedure. Just as he expected, there was still no soul power.
Finally it was Tang San's turn. Without Su Yuntao saying anything, he already stepped forward and stood in the middle of the six black stones.
Along with Su Yuntao's six paths spirit power pouring in, the pale golden light shone once again.
Warmth, this was Tang San's first feeling. His entire person seemed to be wrapped in a warm and harmonious world, indescribably comfortable. It was no wonder that the children's emotions had stabilized when they were enveloped by the golden light.
The warm aura seeped into his body, and Tang San clearly felt his Mysterious Heaven Skill internal strength faintly fluctuate. Immediately following, under the pull of that warm energy, something inside his body seemed to shatter, and all the warm aura instantly surged into his palm.
Su Yuntao's eyes suddenly lit up, because within that golden light cover, the number of golden light spots that appeared this time was even more than all the children added together. He could vaguely sense that a rather powerful martial soul was about to appear. Excitement was written all over his face.
To Spirit Hall deacons like them who were responsible for awakening ordinary people's spirits, if they could awaken a child with extraordinary potential, then pull him into Spirit Hall, they could obtain quite a bit of evaluation benefits, greatly beneficial for promotion.
But very soon, Su Yuntao was disappointed.
Tang San subconsciously raised his right hand, he saw blue. This kind of blue, today was already the second time it had appeared in this village's Spirit Hall.
Blue Silver Grass, exactly the same Blue Silver Grass as the girl from before. The standard existence of a trash martial soul. He thought so, but instead a beast spirit appeared, and moreover behind Tang San appeared an animal that looked like a snake but wasn't a snake, but was chained.
"What spirit is this, like a snake but not a snake, with chains on its body." What exactly is this?" The appearance of a large number of golden light spots before originally brought him a lot of hope, but in the end it formed a spirit that he didn't know what name it had. Su Yuntao thought it was another useless spirit, but it was just a mutated beast spirit. "Alright, alright, children, you can leave.”
"Uncle, you haven't tested my spirit power yet.”Tang San saw that Su Yuntao was already about to put away that blue crystal ball, and hurriedly reminded him.
Su Yuntao didn't even turn his head and said,"No need to try." I've never seen this kind of spirit and it's also a Blue Silver Grass variant. I've never seen anyone with spirit power like Blue Silver Grass.”
"Let me try, Uncle." Tang San insisted. Because he knew he had spirit power, that opened door made him feel that his Mysterious Heaven Skill seemed to have undergone a subtle change.
Su Yuntao stared blankly for a moment, then turned around, meeting Tang San's calm and somewhat firm gaze. He thought to himself that this child seemed to be different from the rest.
