Black World, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"This Tang Hao is simply not human!"
Although they knew that the young Tang San by Tang Hao's side on the comparison heavenly screen was actually the reincarnation of the ungrateful, hypocritical, and selfish Tang San from the Tang Sect of the other world.
However, seeing Tang Hao completely neglect Tang San while he was still an infant...
...forcing the one-year-old Tang San to fetch water and chop wood.
This made Bone Douluo unable to hold back any longer.
If Tang Hao were his son, he would have skinned him alive long ago!
Inside Shrek Academy.
Seeing that Tang San's life since childhood was actually so miserable.
Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others couldn't help but cast sympathetic glances at Tang San.
Among them, Zhu Zhuqing felt that her past life might not have been that bad after all.
At least, before her Spirit awakening at age six and her engagement to Dai Mubai.
Her older sister Zhu Zhuyun, as well as her father and mother, all loved her.
Unlike Tang San, who lost his mother at a young age.
And whose father was such an inhuman character.
It was truly pathetic!
[In the blink of an eye, four years had passed.]
[During these four years, Tang San shouldered the burden of a household with his small body. Not only did he have to fetch water and chop wood every day, but he also had to cook and do laundry at home, and sometimes he even had to sit in on private school lessons.]
[But despite Tang Hao's harsh treatment, Tang San remained incredibly respectful and sincerely filial toward his father.]
[Besides doing chores, Tang San had been secretly practicing Tang Sect Ultimate Techniques like the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eye while hiding from Tang Hao since he was very young.]
[As he grew a bit older, he went to a small hill behind Saint Spirit Village to practice the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Purple Demon Eye, and other Tang Sect Ultimate Techniques.]
[One day, on the hill behind Saint Spirit Village.]
[After Tang San finished practicing the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he couldn't help but frown with a troubled expression: "It's still not working. Why can't my Mysterious Heaven Skill ever break through the bottleneck of the first tier?"]
["I clearly never encountered such trouble before. Could it be because this world is different from my original world?"]
In the Black World.
"Why can't Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill break through the first tier?"
"Is it because he traveled to our Douluo Continent, and the Mysterious Heaven Skill cannot be practiced normally here?"
Seeing this, Bone Douluo was also very curious.
However, nearby, Ning Fengzhi frowned and, after thinking carefully for a while, shook his head.
"No! Since Tang San can become the Sea God and Asura God in the future, there shouldn't be any problem with the cultivation of this Mysterious Heaven Skill."
"I think it might be because he hasn't awakened his Spirit or absorbed a spirit ring yet."
"Just like how we Spirit Masters cannot break through to become a Spirit Master after reaching Level 10 without absorbing a first spirit ring."
"Perhaps he also must awaken his Spirit and absorb the first spirit ring before he can break through."
At this moment, Sword Douluo's heart stirred. He thought of a question and asked in a cold voice.
"Sect Master!"
"Tang San has already used the Mysterious Heaven Skill to cultivate his so-called Internal Energy."
"If he is like a Level 10 Spirit Scholar of our Douluo Continent who cannot break through without a first spirit ring, and thus cannot break through the first tier of the Mysterious Heaven Skill..."
"...then after he awakens his Spirit, will the perfected Internal Energy of the Mysterious Heaven Skill's first tier be equivalent to Level 10 spirit power?"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed as he fell into thought.
If the perfection of the first tier of the Mysterious Heaven Skill directly replaces spirit power and becomes Level 10 spirit power after the Spirit awakening...
...then wouldn't this Mysterious Heaven Skill be able to cultivate Innate Spirit Power?!"
This speculation sent waves of shock through Ning Fengzhi's heart.
If that were true...
...then this Mysterious Heaven Skill might change the future landscape of the Douluo Continent!
[However, Tang San did not remain troubled for long.]
[Realizing it was getting late, Tang San stood up, went down the hill, and returned to the Blacksmith Shop.]
[In the Blacksmith Shop, the porridge he had been cooking was ready. After waking his father Tang Hao to eat...]
[After finishing, Tang San pointed to a piece of iron in the corner and asked Tang Hao for it.]
[Tang Hao asked Tang San, "Do you want to be a blacksmith in the future?"]
[Tang San nodded, indicating that he did.]
[After a series of questions and answers about blacksmithing, Tang Hao began to teach Tang San forging.]
[Not long after, Old Jack suddenly paid a visit, stating that the annual Spirit awakening ceremony would take place in three days, and telling Tang San to gather there and not be late.]
[Three days passed.]
[On this day, Village Chief Old Jack came to knock on the door very early and took Tang San to the Saint Spirit Village's Spirit Hall Branch. Along with other children undergoing Spirit awakening, they waited for the arrival of the Spirit Hall attendant from the Nuoding City Spirit Hall Branch.]
[Before long, a young man who looked to be in his twenties, wearing a grayish-white Spirit Hall uniform, with a tall and straight figure and handsome features, arrived.]
[After leading Tang San and the others into the Saint Spirit Village's Spirit Hall Branch, the young man placed a deep blue crystal ball for testing spirit power on the table and took out six black round stones, arranging them into a hexagram array on the floor.]
[After finishing this, the young man introduced himself, saying his name was Su Yuntao, his Spirit was the Lone Wolf, and he was a Level 26 Spirit Grandmaster. He then told the children not to be afraid.]
[With that, Su Yuntao summoned his Lone Wolf possession, turning into a werewolf form with two white spirit rings rising from beneath his feet, startling all the children of Saint Spirit Village except for Tang San.]
[Afterward, under Su Yuntao's guidance, the children of Saint Spirit Village went forward one by one for their Spirit awakening.]
[Unfortunately, their Spirits were either Blue Silver Grass or tools like sickles and hoes, and none of them possessed spirit power.]
[Finally, it was Tang San's turn.]
[Under Su Yuntao's guidance, Tang San also underwent the Spirit awakening and successfully awakened a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.]
[This left Su Yuntao very disappointed.]
[However, on Tang San's left hand, which was turned away from Su Yuntao, a small, pitch-black iron hammer with a cylindrical head emerged.]
Black World, Spirit City.
Douluo Hall.
"This Tang San actually has twin spirits!"
Discovering that Tang San actually had twin spirits, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but be shocked.
"No wonder Tang San can become the Sea God and Asura God in the future; this talent is indeed extraordinary!"
However, after his amazement, he thought of the twin spirits possessor in his own Spirit Hall.
Qian Daoliu couldn't help but sigh again, smiling bitterly with a heart full of melancholy.
Inside Shrek Academy.
Not expecting Tang San to have twin spirits, Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others, as well as teachers like Flender and Zhao Wuji, all looked at Tang San in amazement and disbelief.
"Little San, I didn't expect you to actually have twin spirits!"
At this, Tang San finally felt he could vent his frustration. A hint of pride appeared on his face as he straightened his back.
And Yu Xiaogang, who had finally regained consciousness and whose face was still somewhat pale, stood with his hands behind his back, a look of shared glory appearing on his stiff face.
[After the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was awakened, Su Yuntao originally didn't want to test Tang San's spirit power.]
[But at Tang San's insistence, Su Yuntao tested Tang San's spirit power anyway, and it was surprisingly Innate Full Spirit Power!]
[At this, Su Yuntao was very regretful and disappointed. He stated that if Tang San's Spirit weren't Blue Silver Grass, even a sickle would have been better. Blue Silver Grass was a Trash Martial Soul, and even with Innate Full Spirit Power, it was still a Trash Martial Soul.]
[After issuing a Spirit certificate to Tang San, Su Yuntao left.]
[After leaving the Saint Spirit Village's Spirit Hall Branch, Tang San met Village Chief Old Jack. Old Jack encouraged Tang San and took him back to the Blacksmith Shop.]
[At the Blacksmith Shop, Old Jack said he would give the Work-Study Student slot from Saint Spirit Village to Tang San, but he was rejected by Tang Hao.]
[In a cold tone, Tang Hao used the excuse that no one would cook for him if Tang San left to refuse to let Tang San go to Nuoding Academy. He also believed that Blue Silver Grass was a useless Trash Martial Soul.]
But seeing this...
...whether in the Black World or the White World...
...countless Spirit Masters with even a bit of knowledge were extremely confused by Tang Hao's behavior.
Because, like Dugu Bo...
...they knew that only Spirits of similar quality could form twin spirits.
Additionally, through the comparison heavenly screen, they all knew that Tang San's mother was a 100,000-year Transformed Soul Beast.
Therefore, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul definitely wasn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass!
Tang Hao was the young master of the Clear Sky Sect; he should have known this too.
Why would he think that Tang San's Innate Full Spirit Power Blue Silver Grass was a Trash Martial Soul?
[Under Tang Hao's stubbornness, Old Jack left in a huff.]
[After Old Jack left, Tang San finally confessed to Tang Hao, saying that his Spirit wasn't just the Innate Full Spirit Power Blue Silver Grass—he had another Spirit.]
[With that, Tang San extended his left hand and revealed the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.]
[Upon seeing the Clear Sky Hammer in Tang San's left hand, Tang Hao's face changed instantly. He had been about to go inside to sleep, but in the next second, he rushed out. Abandoning his previous coldness, he tightly embraced Tang San, turning into a gentle and loving father. Excitedly and with a complex expression, he instructed...]
["Little San, remember! In the future, you must use the hammer in your left hand to protect the grass in your right hand!"]
Seeing this scene, whether in the Black World or the White World...
...countless people couldn't hold it together anymore.
Seriously?! Does he have to be such a master of face-changing?!
