Chapter 37: Tang San, the Sufferer Who is About to Enter Society
After all, he is his son. Qian Xunfeng was a little worried. After checking, he found that Qian Renchuan's first soul ring could absorb up to two thousand years, and he patted Qian Renchuan's shoulder with relief.
"Father, after your son absorbed the immortal herb, even the Blue Silver Emperor has trained to be invulnerable to water and fire,"
Qian Renchuan said excitedly, looking at his father.
"Good. Father is going to let you go out for a few years of training. What do you think?"
"Training? The child is willing,"
Qian Renchuan replied.
Hearing Qian Xunfeng's reassuring voice, Qian Renchuan felt a great sense of honor. For him, nothing was better than the recognition of his great-father.
"Good. Don't worry, I will have the two elders, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, protect you secretly."
"By the way, your Aunt Rou's daughter will also go to the academy where you will be training. You can get to know her then. She will be your fiancée."
At this time, Xiao Wu had also transformed, and there were still three months before the so-called Nuoding Academy started.
He was not worried that Qian Renchuan would delay his training because he had prepared an immortal herb bath gift package—double the amount, enough for the two of them to use for ten years.
"Okay, father."
Qian Renchuan also understood what his father meant: he wanted him to contact Aunt Rou's daughter. But he did not reject the idea, because he believed his father's arrangements made sense.
Qian Xunfeng was sure that Qian Renchuan would like Xiao Wu because he had used the truth (power of order) to imply that Xiao Wu would like Tang San, and placed it on Qian Renchuan.
In the original story, the first-generation Tang San fell in love with Xiao Wu at first sight, and Qian Xunfeng suspected that this was a special buff given to Tang San by the Asura God.
"Don't worry, Chuan'er. When you break through to the Soul King, Mom will take you to a good place where your martial soul can evolve into a true Blue Silver Emperor."
Ah Yin came over lovingly. Although she was reluctant to let her child go on a long journey, she still wanted him to go out and see the world.
After all, when she transformed, she went out at the age of six as a human. Now, with Qian Renchuan accompanied by two titled Douluo and her husband's divine power, she was naturally not worried.
"Okay, Mom."
…
Meanwhile, at the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect:
"Ninth level of innate soul power,"
A pink-haired girl came to Ning Fengzhi with a proud look, dragging the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in her hand, as if seeking praise.
"My Rongrong is a genius."
Ning Rongrong's innate soul power was one level higher than his. Maybe she could truly achieve martial soul evolution and become a real Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Yes, Rongrong has such good talent. Be careful when choosing her soul rings. Let me and the old swordsman help you pick."
Listening to Gu Rong's words, the old swordsman rarely refuted and nodded in agreement.
Compared to the relaxed atmosphere of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Zhu Zhuqing's situation was a bit awkward.
Just three years ago, her fiancé Dai Mubai escaped less than a day after awakening his martial soul.
When the news spread, all the nobles in Star Luo City, who had been waiting to bet on him, were stunned.
Is this genius with innate ninth-level soul power and royal blood in his martial soul? He didn't even fight for it and ran away immediately after awakening his martial soul. This was truly the first time since the founding of the Star Luo Empire.
Dai Tian was also a little speechless upon hearing the news. If it weren't for the martial soul as proof, he might have doubted whether Dai Mubai was truly his bloodline.
Dai Mubai's sudden escape put Zhu Zhuqing in an awkward situation, as two sisters, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, corresponded to the two brothers, Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai.
Originally, the two sides should have competed against each other, but Dai Mubai's departure caused Zhu Zhuqing to lose all her support instantly.
She became an abandoned child. If it weren't for the uncertainty of whether Dai Mubai was dead or alive, and her martial soul had not awakened, she might have been taken away to marry into another family.
"Innate level seven soul power, martial soul Hell Spirit Cat,"
Looking at her possessed Hell Spirit Cat, Zhu Zhuqing's last hope seems gone. As long as she awakened an ordinary spirit cat martial soul, she might have a chance to escape her predicament. But at this moment, that chance seemed lost.
The Hell Spirit Cat martial soul could be combined with the martial soul fusion skill, Hell White Tiger. She was destined to be aligned with Dai Mubai's camp.
"I want to find him,"
Zhu Zhuqing was stubborn in her heart. She didn't understand why Dai Mubai abandoned her. Though she hated him, she had no intention of canceling their engagement.
Because the education she received from childhood was deeply ingrained, it was impossible for her to break it at will.
In the original work, Zhu Zhuqing initially showed some personality, but later she became just a transparent character, a mere material for martial soul fusion skill.
It reflected Dai Mubai's view that women are just objects.
So, although Zhu Zhuqing was tough and goal-oriented, she couldn't escape the tide of times. To truly change her, one would have to use force to break her deeply ingrained thoughts.
…
In Caoji Village, Dai Mubai, who had escaped three years earlier, followed Dean Flanders. He looked at the red-haired, fat boy in front of him and said, "Boy, I see you have incredible potential. Do you want to worship me as your teacher?"
"I do,"
Ma Hongjun's parents, both civilians, had never seen many soul masters. Seeing Flanders with seven soul rings hanging around him, they knelt on the spot.
"Well then, come with me to the next village."
Flanders was in a good mood, eager to have a good disciple. Their academy now had Oscar with full innate soul power, Dai Mubai with the White Tiger martial soul, and now Ma Hongjun.
He immediately summoned the martial soul, Owl, and took Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai away.
"The fat kid has been found, and our Shrek Three Villains are officially assembled."
Dai Mubai looked at the pleasantly surprised Ma Hongjun. Now, he just had to wait for Tang San to join Shrek.
He hesitated for a moment—should he go to the Rose Hotel to confront him?
After some thought, Dai Mubai decided to go. After all, there was no harm in fighting. He had fought Tang San before, which had forged the brotherhood behind them.
It was a pity Tang San, whom he missed so much, was still busy cleaning the large, smelly wooden house. The room was filled with the smell of alcohol and sweat, fermenting endlessly.
It was so pungent that it made people want to vomit, but Tang San was happily serving Tang Hao in the house.
That was the taste of dirt, the taste of home.
He had been a god for tens of thousands of years, yet he still missed the scent of sweaty armpits, mixed with alcohol—something he couldn't forget.
In this life, he vowed to make his father more powerful and quickly invade the world consciousness of the Douluo Continent.
Tang San secretly reflected that in his previous life, many plans had been delayed because his father's invasion of the world consciousness was too slow.
If he had managed to occupy Douluo Continent during Huo Yuhao's era and laid more backup plans in advance, he wouldn't have had to use spiritual marks to communicate with his son.
The spiritual consciousness he had left earlier had used divine power to erase the consciousness of the Golden Dragon King and plotted against the Silver Dragon King to help his son and himself harvest more soul-beast luck.
Just as Tang San was pondering this, Old Jack's voice came from outside the door:
"Is Tang San here? The Soul Master of the Spirit Hall is here. Come out and awaken your martial soul."
After opening the door, Tang San saw Old Jack angrily scolding Tang Hao, who was still sleeping on the bed.
"Today is the day Tang San awakens his martial soul, and you're still sleeping. How can you be a father?"
"My son, I will take care of him myself. You don't need to tell me,"
Tang Hao glanced at Old Jack casually—an old man with no soul power, who was not even qualified to look at him.
"You, Tang Hao…"
"Grandpa Old Jack, take me to awaken my martial soul first,"
Old Jack was about to say more when Tang San impatiently interrupted him.
In Tang San's opinion, Old Jack did not understand his father's love for him at all. Insulting his father casually was simply a way to his death.
