three days later.
morning.
Old Jack, dressed in clean and tidy clothes with his hair neatly combed, arrived at Tang San's blacksmith shop as promised and called out inside:
"Little San, Grandpa Jack is here to pick you up. Come out quickly, we're going to participate in the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony."
Inside the simple mud-brick house.
A square table with eight immortals was placed in the very center.
A large bowl of thin porridge and several plates of pickled vegetables were placed on the table; this was the breakfast that Tang San had prepared.
Tang Hao and Tang San each sat on a long wooden bench.
The father and son sat facing each other.
Tang Hao slurped down his porridge, his chopsticks constantly picking up pickled vegetables and putting them into his mouth.
Soon, most of the porridge and pickled vegetables on the table were eaten by Tang Hao.
Tang San didn't eat much, but he didn't feel anything was wrong. He was extremely happy at that moment.
Because that's what a father feels like!
Just then, Old Jack's shouts came from outside the curtain.
Tang San lifted his head from the bowl and glanced at his father.
Tang Hao remained expressionless and coldly stated a few words:
"Go ahead. Remember to come back early and clean up the dishes. Also, don't be late making lunch."
After saying that, Tang Hao put down his bowl and chopsticks, grabbed the wine gourd hanging from his waist, and gulped down a few more mouthfuls of cheap ale.
"Yes, Father!"
Tang San happily agreed, put down his chopsticks and bowl, and hurried out of the blacksmith shop to meet Old Jack who was waiting outside.
Just as Tang San lifted the curtain and stepped out...
A flash of red light appeared in Tang Hao's eyes as he gazed at Tang San's retreating figure with a meaningful look, seemingly lost in thought.
Much later.
Tang Hao put down the wine gourd in his hand, wiped his mouth haphazardly with his large hand, and removed the remaining wine.
He got up and walked towards the stove next to him.
A short while later.
Inside the adobe house, the clanging of blacksmithing echoed.
the other side.
Under Old Jack's guidance.
Tang San followed Old Jack and walked for a few minutes until they arrived at the Spirit Hall, which was located in the center of the village.
Looking at this tallest, most magnificent, and newest building in the entire Holy Soul Village, with even its doors made of iron and topped with a dome, one can see the magnificent structure.
Tang San's eyes flashed with disdain, and an indescribable sneer appeared on his lips.
Old Jack, however, became much more upright and dignified as he looked at the Spirit Hall branch, a sight that inspired awe.
At this moment, Old Jack turned to look at Tang San and said:
"Little San, this is where you will be performing your Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony today. It's the Martial Soul Hall branch of our Holy Soul Village. I'm sure you already know it."
"This branch hall was originally just a wooden house, only slightly larger than the other houses in our Holy Soul Village."
"But three years ago, the Spirit Hall demolished it and soon rebuilt and expanded it into what it looks like today."
"Later, a Soul Master and several ordinary staff members moved in, and a notice was posted saying that any villagers who need to trade any items can come to the Spirit Hall branch to trade. The Spirit Hall will introduce buyers to everyone, ensuring fairness and impartiality, and fair prices."
Old Jack paused for a moment, then continued:
"At this point, we learned that the Spirit Hall had supposedly established an organization called the Pan-Continental Business Alliance, using these Spirit Hall branch halls as trading stations to specifically handle various trades on the continent."
"This move by the Spirit Hall is excellent for the hundreds of villagers in Holy Soul Village."
"Our Holy Soul Village is rich in grain. Although most of it is handed over as grain tax, there is still some surplus."
"We used to struggle because we had no channels to sell our products, but now things are much better."
At this point, old Jack was deeply moved. He paused for a few seconds before continuing:
"With the Spirit Hall branch as a trading station, everyone can trade their surplus grain for the items or money they need."
"Over the past three years, everyone's lives have improved significantly. Almost every household has replaced their mud-brick houses with shiny brick houses."
"However, your family..."
Old Jack looked at Tang San's patched-up coarse linen clothes, shook his head, sighed, and said nothing more.
With Tang Hao as his father, who was lazy, unambitious, and always drunk, Tang San could only suffer along with him, and Old Jack couldn't do anything about it.
Tang San naturally knew what Old Jack was talking about.
He had been watching the changes in Holy Soul Village closely.
At first, his impression of the Spirit Hall was not particularly good, but it wasn't bad either.
He used to go to the mountains near Holy Soul Village to pick rare herbs using his knowledge from his previous life in the Tang Sect, and then sell them at the Spirit Hall branch.
But his father, Tang Hao, found out and gave him a severe beating.
He was also warned to stay away from the Spirit Hall.
He was also told that although the Spirit Hall appeared magnificent, it was actually full of corrupt, depraved, and evil people.
The Spirit Hall should not exist in this world; such a thing should be destroyed.
That was the first time Tang San had seen a different side of his father, and he could never forget the expression on his father's face.
It was a complex expression, a mixture of extreme anger and hatred, pain and regret, helplessness and madness.
This made him feel very sorry for his father.
Tang San didn't know what the Spirit Hall had done to his father, but he felt it must have been something extremely outrageous, otherwise his father wouldn't have acted this way.
He guessed that his father's current laziness, fondness for alcohol, and decadence must have a reason, perhaps it was caused by the Spirit Hall.
Therefore, what my father said to me must be right; my father is not wrong.
From that moment on, Tang San had no good feelings towards the Spirit Hall.
However, despite having no goodwill towards the Spirit Hall, he still had to take the benefits he was entitled to.
Tang San would occasionally sneak off to trade with the branch of the Spirit Hall behind Tang Hao's back, earning a living for the father and son.
If Tang San encounters members of the Spirit Hall's branch who don't recognize his worth, he will deliberately make exorbitant demands and extort a large sum from the Spirit Hall.
At this moment, old Jack spoke up:
"Let's go in quickly. You're the last one. The deacon and the other eight children have already arrived. Now we're just missing you so the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony can begin."
After Old Jack finished speaking, he took the lead and walked forward.
Tang San nodded and followed closely behind Old Jack.
Today is Martial Soul Awakening Day.
The usually bustling branch of the Spirit Hall has ceased all commercial trade today, making special time to carry out the Spirit Awakening Ceremony.
It seemed rather deserted at the moment.
Enter the main hall of the branch hall.
Just as old Jack had predicted.
Tang San was the last to arrive.
The Spirit Hall patrol officer and the other eight children had already arrived.
The Spirit Hall patrol officer appeared to be in his twenties, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome appearance. He wore a white outfit and a black cloak, with a fist-sized "Soul" character embroidered on the center of his chest.
It was Su Yuntao, a level 26 Great Soul Master who was widely regarded as a blind Douluo by keyboard warriors.
Su Yuntao had already set up the Awakening Formation on the ground.
On a small pillar next to it, there was also a crystal ball about the size of a human head, emitting a hazy blue glow.
Several children stared at them with unblinking eyes, filled with curiosity.
They saw that Old Jack had finally arrived with Tang San.
Su Yuntao's brows furrowed slightly, showing some displeasure:
"Old Jack, what's wrong with you guys? Why are you so slow? I've been waiting for ages! Don't you know my time is precious?"
Old Jack quickly pulled Tang San along and bowed in apology:
"I apologize, esteemed butler, I was delayed by something. Thank you for your help."
Tang San was forced to bow by Old Jack, and when he looked up at Su Yuntao's tall figure, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Su Yuntao waved his hand dismissively and said:
"Alright, old Jack, you can step down now. I don't have much time left. After I've awakened the martial souls of these children in Holy Soul Village, there are still children from several other villages waiting for me to awaken their martial souls."
"The Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony shall begin immediately!"
"Yes, sir."
Old Jack bowed and agreed.
After giving the children of Holy Soul Village some more instructions, telling them to listen to the steward, he left the main hall.
Then, Su Yuntao began to perform several dazzling maneuvers, summoning the Lone Wolf Martial Soul and then possessing it, which frightened the children present into screaming.
Su Yuntao smiled slightly, explained the situation, and then officially began to awaken the martial souls of the children.
After several attempts, the martial spirits awakened by the first eight children were either farming tools like sickles and hoes, or Blue Silver Grass.
These martial souls have no offensive, defensive, or supportive abilities; they are standard, useless martial souls.
Finally, it was Tang San's turn.
The same procedure was followed.
Then, the blind Douluo was blinded by the light.
It actually awakened a Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power?
What's the point?!
Su Yuntao was utterly disappointed and speechless.
He immediately waved his hand, set the tone, and wrote on the Soul Master certificate:
Tang San, with the useless martial soul Blue Silver Grass, possesses innate full soul power and belongs to the Sacred Soul Village.
