In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 253 "Rugged Appearance" Three Sisters

The tall, muscular man was now in a disheveled state, wearing a tattered robe without even patches, revealing his bronze skin underneath.

His once handsome features were now covered with a sallow complexion, and he looked sleepy. His hair was a mess, like a bird's nest, and his beard looked like it hadn't been groomed in ages.

Wang Zhao had observed Tang Hao's reaction to Old Jack's suggestion to send Tang San to Notting Academy.

This Tang Ritian seems to be...

That's a bit strange.

It wasn't about his strength, but rather his speech and demeanor; there was something strange about him that was hard to describe. Although he concealed it well, it wasn't difficult for Wang Zhao, who was observing from a third-person perspective, to notice.

Could it be that a new variable has emerged?!

Wang Zhao keenly realized this.

Ever since Chen Xin, the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, suddenly broke through to level 97, Wang Zhao had gained a better understanding of the "variables" that the Twin Gods of Time and Space had mentioned in the past. He had also long anticipated that the main characters, including Tang San, the male protagonist, might undergo changes in the future.

It could be them themselves, or it could be the people closely associated with them.

Now, on Tang San's side...

Wang Zhao's deep gaze shifted back and forth between Tang San and Tang Hao.

Is it Tang San? Or Tang Hao? Or perhaps both are the problem?

At this moment, Old Jack looked at the "sensible" little rascal, sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to walk outside.

Old Jack stopped abruptly at the blacksmith's shop entrance and said to Tang Hao, "Tang Hao, think it over carefully. Think more about Xiao San. There are still three months until the registration deadline for this year's Notting Soul Master Junior Academy."

After seeing Old Jack off, Tang San stood at the blacksmith's shop for a while before quickly closing the door.

In the distance, Wang Zhao raised an eyebrow, then smiled and activated the X-ray vision he had gained after consuming the Dew of Longing. Instantly, the scene inside the blacksmith shop was laid bare before him.

"Daddy".

After closing the blacksmith shop door, Tang San didn't waste time with pleasantries with Tang Hao as he had in his previous life. Instead, he went straight to the point:

"Actually, I have another martial spirit."

"What?!"

Tang Hao's previously cloudy eyes widened instantly, and he abruptly stood up instead of lazily sitting on the recliner.

"let me see!"

Tang San nodded slightly, then slowly raised his right hand, from which tiny, crystalline blue silver grass emerged.

Tang Hao immediately leaned closer, his expression subtly changing as if he were puzzled by something. In the end, his gaze narrowed slightly, as if he had found a reasonable explanation for himself, and he stopped thinking about it for the time being. He then muttered something in a daze.

"Blue Silver Grass...it looks just like it, so much like it."

Suddenly, he looked at Tang San and examined his face closely, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

"Daddy, what's wrong?"

Tang San noticed Tang Hao's strange gaze and asked.

Just then, an old bronze mirror on the messy wooden table next to him reflected a beam of light. Tang San turned his head and quickly saw his face in the bronze mirror, which was somewhat blurry but still barely visible under his Purple Demon Eyes.

He was unremarkable... no, he even resembled Tang Hao's rugged face somewhat. At his current young age, he appeared relatively ugly under this "honor".

Is this me?

Tang San couldn't help but be taken aback.

Tang San had come to accept that his appearance wouldn't return to its former handsome state anytime soon. He had initially thought that the initial revival of his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline after his martial soul awakening would gradually make him somewhat "handsome," but he never expected...

How could I be more influenced by the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul?

Tang San couldn't help but question the meaning of life.

However, he didn't dwell on this much, since he had long forgotten what he looked like before his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was awakened, having been so used to his handsome appearance in his previous life.

The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, which has not yet awakened into the Blue Silver Emperor, is undoubtedly inferior to the Clear Sky Hammer in quality. Therefore, it is probably reasonable that he is currently more influenced by the Clear Sky Hammer since he has not yet added a Soul Ring to the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. In his previous life, he did not care so much about his appearance.

Tang San chuckled to himself.

Perhaps he firmly believed that he would become handsome in the future, so he was fearless and not worried about it.

Tang San quickly stopped caring about his appearance, while Tang Hao looked at Tang San's face, which was exactly the same as his own when he was a child, and could not see any trace of his mother's stunning beauty. His eyes were complicated, but also subtly showed a bit more affection.

He then said, "Let me see your other martial soul."

"Um."

Tang San then withdrew his right hand, the Blue Silver Grass martial soul on his hand disappeared, and raised his left hand, a small hammer with patterns on its head appeared, which was completely black and exuded a powerful aura that made people feel inexplicably oppressed.

really……

Tang Hao thought to himself, grasped Tang San's left hand, his expression initially calm, but suddenly changed to one of surprise and delight, and he hugged Tang San tightly.

This small detail was still noticed by Wang Zhao in the distance, and his gaze became even more profound.

As for Tang San, he was enjoying the warmth, closeness, and sense of security from his father, so he wouldn't have any other thoughts.

In a daze, scenes of his life over the past six years flashed through Tang San's mind.

In these six years, apart from the very beginning when Tang Hao would take care of his growth, once he was able to move around on his own, he quickly had him take care of cooking and other tasks, in turn taking care of Tang Hao's daily life.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. After all, Tang San's past life was like that, and he even quite enjoyed this warm life where he could take care of his father without any worries.

However, as he gets older, he seems to be getting "busier".

From taking care of his father's daily life in the early days, to Tang Hao actually taking the initiative to teach him blacksmithing, and even going so far as to ask him to help make money, if it were Tang San in his previous life, he would definitely be happy, after all, it is also a kind of training.

However, in this life, he was already proficient in things like the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian and the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique. In order not to expose his abnormality, he had to carefully disguise himself on a daily basis. More importantly, because he had to help Tang Hao make money by forging iron, he also lost some of his cultivation time.

Originally, Tang San, who had a deeper understanding of the Mysterious Heaven Skill in this life, wanted to seize the time to lay a solid foundation for himself, so that his potential soul power accumulation before absorbing his first soul ring would exceed his innate full soul power by a considerable margin.

Even if they don't reach Qian Renxue's innate level 20 soul power in time, they should at least be around level 15.
