Douluo Continent: Martial Soul is the Star Forging Dragon King

Smoke curled upwards, and the sounds of metal being forged echoed over the village, leaving Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua, who had just arrived, quite puzzled.

The martial soul of the Tang family members is the Clear Sky Hammer, and blacksmithing is their way of training their martial soul and soul skills.

But the scene before my eyes was truly unfamiliar.

Even at the height of the Haotian Sect's glory, they never saw an entire village, hundreds of households, forging together.

"What exactly happened here?"

Looking at the dramatic changes that had taken place in Tangjia Village, Tang Yuehua began to wonder if she had come to the wrong place.

I haven't been here for over a year, so how did Tangjia Village suddenly become Blacksmith Village?

"Listen to the sound"

Tang Hao: "It doesn't look like they're practicing the 'Disordered Cloak' exercise."

"Second Aunt!"

Just then, a disciple of the Haotian Sect noticed the two. This person was none other than Tang Long, Tang Xiao's adopted son.

"Xiaolong."

Upon seeing an acquaintance, Tang Yuehua quickly stepped forward to inquire about the changes in the area.

However, Tang Long did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at Tang Hao with slight excitement and asked, "You, you are Uncle Hao?"

Tang Hao's current appearance is so different from the spirited Haotian Twin Stars of the past that it's hard to reconcile his current state with the past.

However, Tang Long did not feel disgusted; on the contrary, he felt heartbroken for Tang Hao.

What kind of blow must my second uncle have suffered to become like this?

"Long time no see, Xiao Long."

"It really is my second uncle!"

Tang Long was raised by the three Tang siblings, and he thought he would never be able to meet Tang Hao again in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly, the surprise came so suddenly!

"Second Uncle, you're finally back."

Tang Long: "That's wonderful! Father would be so happy if he knew this!"

"Who is this?"

Seeing that Tang Long had noticed him, Tang San quickly replied, "Hello, Brother Tang Long, my name is Tang San."

"Tang San?"

Tang Long immediately realized that the boy in front of him was Tang Hao's son: "No need to be so polite, from now on we're brothers."

"Alright, Xiaolong."

Tang Yuehua interrupted the three of them from reminiscing and asked about the changes in Tangjia Village and why Haotian Sect had broken off contact with Yuexuan.

"This one"

Tang Long sighed: "This all started a year and a half ago."

"Let's talk as we walk."

And so, Tang Long led the three of them to the largest blacksmith shop in the village.

Meanwhile, on the way, he also told the three of them as much detail as possible about the various changes that had taken place in the sect over the past year and a half.

"A mysterious powerful figure has appeared?"

"Volcanic eruptions, exploration of the Earth's core, and the acquisition of secret techniques."

Tang Hao had never known that such a being existed beneath the mountains of the Haotian Sect's secluded place.

'It sounds a bit like the place where divine positions are passed down.'

Tang San had some understanding of this: 'But according to Tang Long, the powerful beings dwelling beneath the lava are not human, but rather burly soul beasts with goat horns.'

'Strange, why is there no record of this in the memories of my other self?'

Tang San no longer trusted Tang Shenwang's memories as much.

After all, his previous encounter with Luo Chen had truly caught him off guard.

"That's all I know."

"I don't know what's going on down there either."

Tang Long said, "As for the fact that every household in the village is forging, it's actually to cultivate the soul skills that my father brought back from below."

“We have arrived. Father and the elders should be inside by now.”

After leading Tang Hao, Tang Yuehua, and the other two to the largest house in the village, Tang Long did not choose to continue leading the way: "I still need to finish my lessons for today, so I'll take my leave now."

"Ok."

Tang Yuehua smiled gently: "Xiaolong, you go ahead and get busy."

Even after Tang Long left, the brother and sister were still completely confused.

It wasn't about some mysterious expert, nor was it about the self-created soul skill cultivation method that Tang Xiao obtained; rather, it was that Tang Xiao and the elders' attitude towards the brother and sister was really a bit off.

Normally, it's impossible for not a single disciple on duty to be seen in the village.

Not to mention, given Tang Xiao's relationship with them, if he knew his younger siblings had arrived, he would definitely come out to greet them immediately.

It shouldn't be like this at all; there's no reaction at all.

"Never mind, Xiaolong is right. If there's anything, just ask Big Brother."

After Tang Hao finished speaking, he pushed the door open and entered.

"Wow~"

The next moment, the three of them felt a wave of heat wash over them, followed by a strong smell in the air—the intensely rich smell of iron and fire.

Unlike the chill outside, the blacksmith shop was bustling with activity.

They were shirtless, intently hammering something, and didn't even notice when someone came in.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Flames leaped and smoke swirled, making the three of them feel as if they were in a raging furnace.

Tang Hao and Tang San were already used to this environment, but Tang Yuehua was slightly uncomfortable.

"Ok?"

However, before Tang Hao could use his soul power to shield his sister from the heatwave, an extremely pure spiritual power enveloped her, shielding her from the sweltering heat and stench of the surrounding furnace.

"This is."

Tang Hao and Tang San both had their pupils constricted, astonished by the person who made the move and their control over mental power, which was so effortless.

"Haozi, Yuehua."

"You guys are back?"

Tang Xiao put down the Haotian Hammer in his hand, raised his head, and revealed a face that looked even more weathered than Tang Hao's.

With his full beard, messy long hair, and a dark face that looked like it had crawled out of a mud pit, Tang Yuehua couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the steady and mature older brother she remembered.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, I'm fine."

Tang Xiao laughed and said, "I've been focusing my energy on cultivation lately and haven't had time to take care of it."

"But what brings you all back all of a sudden?"

"Forehead"

Tang Yuehua was somewhat speechless: "Big brother, I had Yuexuan deliver a letter before, didn't you receive it?"

"letter?"

Tang Xiao thought about it and realized that he hadn't received any letters.

Of course, he might have received it, but he was so focused on forging and learning from Master Orn that he didn't pay much attention to it.

In any case, if something really important happened, Tang Yuehua would mark the letter with a special mark.

If not, then there's naturally no need to pay too much attention.

"Ah this!"

After listening to Tang Xiao's story, Tang Yuehua was completely distraught.

What does it mean that if something is unimportant, it doesn't need to be paid attention to?

So, all the hard work he put in outside was just an unimportant trifle in the eyes of the Haotian Sect?

"Big brother, you've gone too far!"

Tang Yuehua said with dissatisfaction, "I didn't receive a reply and thought something had happened to the sect. It turns out I'm the only one who's worried, and you don't care about me at all!"

"Forehead"

Tang Xiao smiled awkwardly. He wanted to pat his sister on the shoulder to offer some comfort and apologize to her at the same time.

Tang Xiao stopped when he noticed his own dirty hands.

"I'm sorry, little sister."

Tang Xiao admitted that he had indeed been working day and night for more than a year.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

The knowledge that Orn imparted was too vast, and he spent a great deal of time and energy, nearly two years, and still only barely grasped the basics.

However, even though he had only just entered the beginner level, Tang Xiao's strength had still improved dramatically compared to before.

A year and a half ago, Tang Xiao was just an ordinary titled player with a level of just over 90.

But now, in just a year and a half, Tang Xiao has broken through one after another, leaping to the limit of a Soul Master and possessing the strength to fight his grandfather Tang Chen.

Yes, Tang Xiao has now reached level 99.
