Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 38 Xiao Wu Became a Younger Sister

Back in Holy Soul Village, Tang San immediately spotted farmers returning home from weeding in the fields. He went up to them and greeted them, "Uncle Wang, it's been a while! How have you been?"

"You are... Xiao San?" Uncle Wang stared at Tang San for a while before recognizing him, his face filled with excitement. "How come you look so different? I didn't recognize you at all."

"Haha, mainly because I've obtained a spirit ring and become a spirit master, my spirit has mutated, affecting my appearance," Tang San explained. "Is Grandpa Jack in the village?"

"Yes, I'm at home. I even said I'd come pick you up in a couple of days." After learning that Tang San had become a Soul Master, Uncle Wang's attitude became somewhat respectful, and he immediately said.

"Then I'll go find Grandpa first."

After chatting with Uncle Wang for a few minutes to ease his tense attitude, Tang San took Xiao Wu to the village chief's house.

"Grandpa, I'm home!"

"The mistress is back."

Old Jack immediately opened the door and came out. Seeing Tang San, he noticed he looked different, but still recognized him and was overjoyed. "You child! Didn't I tell you I'd come pick you up? Why did you come back by yourself? Did you take a carriage?"

"No, for walking, for physical training." Tang San said, releasing his martial soul. Yellow spirit rings appeared, bringing tears to Old Jack's eyes: "Finally, another spirit master has emerged in the village!"

After a while, Old Jack wiped away his tears, his gaze falling on Xiao Wu beside Tang San, and asked, "Little San, what's this?"

Could it be that the mistress brought a young girl home to be her wife?

"Grandpa, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Wu, the same age as me. She's also a Soul Master. Because she's an orphan, she plans to come to my house," Tang San explained.

"Hello, Grandpa Jack." Little Wu greeted him sweetly, which pleased old Jack greatly. "Good, you're all good children. Come on in."

After Tang San entered the house, he put down his bundle, took out a lot of small furniture he had bought, placed it in the house, and gave Old Jack a bag of gold soul coins.

Old Jack counted them and found there were twenty. He was immediately startled and pulled Tang San aside, asking worriedly, "Little San, we can't do anything like stealing chickens or dogs."

Tang San was both amused and exasperated, and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, it wasn't stolen or robbed. I saved it up."

Then, Tang San recounted how he, Su Yuntao, and Ma Xiunuo went to hunt soul beasts, sold the Thousand Banyan Tree, and divided the gold soul coins among themselves.

"That's good." Old Jack breathed a sigh of relief, handed the bag back to Tang San, and said, "You're still growing, keep it for yourself to buy some good food, and buy some for Xiao Wu too. This old man can't use so much."

"No need, Grandpa, keep it. It's enough for me." Tang San stuffed the bag into Old Jack's arms. "Grandpa, you're getting old. When you manage the fields, you can hire the able-bodied men in the village to do the work, which will make things easier for you. After I become a Soul Master, I'll earn more money, so this little bit won't make a difference. It's just that I used up some of it researching my Martial Soul; otherwise, I could have given you even more."

"More? Grandpa is already this old, what does he need so much money for?" Seeing Tang San's insistence, Old Jack stopped refusing, but still told Tang San not to carry so much in the future, since he might not even spend a gold soul coin a year.

night.

Old Jack slaughtered chickens and sheep, letting Tang San and Xiao Wu eat their fill.

Old Jack's cooking skills were indeed excellent. Xiao Wu ate with gusto, her mouth greasy. Although she was a rabbit, she ate meat with great gusto.

This also proves one of Tang San's conjectures, that is, after a 100,000-year-old soul beast transforms into a human, its body is already human, and it can eat food that it could not eat before, and its sense of taste is no different from that of humans.

The reason they hunted down those that still possessed spirit rings and spirit bones was most likely because their 100,000 years of cultivation essence remained within their bodies and had not yet been fully adapted to by their transformed forms.

In other words, after a 100,000-year-old soul beast transforms into a human, the difference between being mature and not is simply whether the 100,000-year-old cultivation essence within its body has been completely absorbed by the human body.

From this perspective, if there is a way to take away the 100,000 years of cultivation essence without harming the life of the transformed soul beast, wouldn't the transformed soul beast really become an ordinary human?

This is a question worth thinking about.

If so, then from a racial perspective, transformed soul beasts can no longer be considered soul beasts.

At the dinner table, Xiao Wu ate heartily and addressed Old Jack more affectionately, calling him "Grandpa." Old Jack then adopted Xiao Wu as his granddaughter.

Tang San's eye twitched because Old Jack gave him a look, which made him realize that Old Jack obviously wanted Xiao Wu as a granddaughter-in-law, and was trying to find a way to bring him and Xiao Wu closer together.

"Xiao San, from now on you'll be Xiao Wu's brother. You have to take good care of her," Old Jack said earnestly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely make Xiao Wu a powerful Soul Master." Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu and said this, implying that Xiao Wu had to grow on her own and he would not spoil her.

Even if she really is his younger sister, the best way to pamper her is to teach her to be independent and cultivate a strong heart, rather than having her protected by him all the time.

That's no different from having a burden on your shoulders.

Old Jack didn't understand the hidden meaning in Tang San's words, assuming that Tang San was still young and didn't understand matters between men and women, so he didn't say anything more. However, Xiao Wu understood, but she didn't say anything. She just looked at Tang San with a smile and said, "I'm your sister, so you have to be nicer to me in the future."

"Don't worry, I'll take even better care of my sister." Tang San replied with a smile, which made Xiao Wu shiver involuntarily, but she still held her head high and puffed out her chest. "Hmph, I'm sure I can persevere."

The next day, Tang San told Old Jack that he had gone to the blacksmith shop to repair farm tools for the villagers. He also recruited some children who were a year or two older than him, or the same age, to go up the mountain to collect firewood, earning them three copper soul coins a day.

The children were very happy and became curious about Tang San's identity as a Soul Master.

Tang San was generous, telling them stories of Soul Master adventures he had read in books, and even personally releasing his Martial Soul and using Soul Skills to restore their physical strength and recover from their hidden injuries.

In an instant, everyone in the village began to respect Tang San.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was much wilder. She led another group of younger children to play in the fields, catching grasshoppers, frogs, digging for wild vegetables, and fishing for crayfish. They did whatever was interesting, making her more like a human child.

During this holiday, Tang San did not conduct any research on his martial soul. Instead, he continued his life as usual, practicing the techniques and skills on the Xuan Tian Treasure Record, using the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to temper his body, and then studying the methods of qi and blood circulation and the frequency of vibration. He combined these two with the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to achieve better body tempering results.

Before the New Year, a fifteen-year-old boy from the village found Tang San, hoping to learn blacksmithing from him.

Tang San agreed.

After all, he had become a Soul Master, and for the next six years he would spend most of his time in Notting City. The farm tools in the village were broken and they did need a blacksmith to help repair them.

However, Tang San will not teach the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique now. After all, it belongs to the Clear Sky Sect, and if others learn it, Tang Hao will find out, which will definitely cause them unnecessary trouble.

The female lead has been officially confirmed.

The storyline of Holy Soul Village has been reduced, or it may have ended.
