Chapter 104 Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer Quality Decreases

"Teacher, I can now control this hammer perfectly, just like a martial spirit!"

After Tang San's connection with the hammer became very close, he found Yu Xiaogang and told him the news.

"Oh? Let me see!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and immediately asked Tang San to show him.

"Yes, teacher!"

Upon hearing this, Tang San took out the hammer he usually used for forging iron from his soul tool and then performed it in front of Yu Xiaogang.

After Tang San threw the hammer out, he could easily retrieve it by simply reaching out and summoning it back into his hand.

Unlike last time, when the hammer only trembled slightly and failed to fly towards Tang San.

"Okay, okay!"

"Little San, try it now and see if you can retract it into your body like your martial spirit!"

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiaogang was immediately excited and then asked Tang San to give it a try.

If one can control it perfectly like a martial soul, then can it be retracted into the body like a martial soul?

With Yu Xiaogang's intelligence, he would definitely be able to make the connection.

"Yes, teacher!"

Tang San nodded after hearing Yu Xiaogang's words.

He had considered this possibility, but before trying it, he felt he should tell Yu Xiaogang first.

Now that Tang San heard Yu Xiaogang say the same thing, he naturally had no more reservations and immediately sat down cross-legged in front of Yu Xiaogang.

Then Tang San first summoned his spirit weapon, the Clear Sky Hammer, and combined it with his blacksmithing hammer to form a spirit weapon before trying to retract them into his body.

As Tang San attempted to merge his soul weapon with the Clear Sky Hammer, the hammer itself vanished instantly before his eyes.

"It really works!"

Yu Xiaogang witnessed this scene firsthand, his eyes wide with excitement.

"Good, good, good! As expected, Su Mo had this trick up his sleeve!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this situation might allow for the evolution of a martial soul!"

"Only in this way can we explain why Su Mo, despite having such a low-quality martial soul, possesses such strong combat power—because his martial soul has evolved!"

"Moreover, his cultivation speed is so fast not only because of his strong physique, but also because his martial soul has evolved!"

Yu Xiaogang watched as Tang San successfully absorbed the hammer into his body, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

He immediately thought of many questions.

Although he had never doubted Su Mo's cultivation speed before, Su Mo's combat power had always puzzled him.

Because the combat power that Su Mo displayed was not what one would expect from a low-quality martial soul.

He previously thought it was because Su Mo's spirit rings were of higher quality, but now he suspects that Su Mo's spirit has evolved.

"If true, this discovery is truly remarkable!"

"Even if only a very small number of people can do it, it will drive all weapon soul masters crazy!"

The more Yu Xiaogang thought about it, the more excited he became. But after the excitement subsided, Yu Xiaogang suddenly fell silent.

Even if such a discovery is true, it still won't solve his talent problem.

Thinking about his own lack of talent, Yu Xiaogang felt resentful and extremely jealous of Su Mo, who was able to discover this method.

Why was Su Mo able to find a solution to his low martial soul talent, while he couldn't?

"That's probably just my guess. The evolution of a martial soul isn't that simple!"

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang actually hoped that Tang San's attempt would fail, and did not want to see Tang San succeed.

This would mean that Su Mo has successfully overcome the limitations of his own talent.

However, things often don't go as planned. Just when Yu Xiaogang didn't want Tang San to succeed, Tang San opened his eyes from his meditation.

"Teacher, my Clear Sky Hammer and that other hammer are completely fused together; they can't be separated anymore!"

Tang San immediately reported the results of the experiment to Yu Xiaogang.

"Quickly, summon the Clear Sky Hammer so I can take a look!"

Hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang was a little disappointed, but he still immediately asked Tang San to summon the Clear Sky Hammer.

He was also very interested in Tang San's martial soul changes.

"Yes, teacher!"

hum-

Tang San responded and then summoned the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Clear Sky Hammer that Tang San summoned again was now completely fused with the hammer that Tang San had refined.

From the outside, there was no change, so Yu Xiaogang couldn't tell anything.

"Have you noticed any changes in it, mistress?"

Since Yu Xiaogang couldn't tell from his appearance, he could only ask Tang San.

"It seems to have become a little lighter, but otherwise there's not much change!"

Tang San held the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand for a moment, then spoke.

"What? It's a little lighter?"

However, upon hearing Tang San's reply, Yu Xiaogang's expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Yes, teacher, the Haotian Hammer feels lighter in my hands and is much easier to use. Isn't that good?"

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang's expression and gradually realized that something was wrong, so he quickly spoke up.

"this……"

Faced with Tang San's question, Yu Xiaogang was unsure whether he should tell Tang San or not.

For weapon-type martial spirits, it's not necessarily better to make the martial spirit as light as possible.

Generally speaking, as the number of spirit rings increases, the weapon spirit will become heavier and heavier, which means it will become stronger.

When a Title Douluo reaches that level, it's normal for their Martial Soul to weigh tens of thousands of kilograms or even just a few kilograms. Since it's their own Martial Soul, Soul Masters won't feel that heavy when they hold it; it will just feel like an ordinary weapon.

Therefore, a weapon spirit becoming lighter is generally not a good thing.

The hammer that Tang San fused with wasn't made of a high-quality, lightweight material, so no matter what, it shouldn't make the martial soul lighter after fusion.

The most likely reason for this is that the quality of Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer has been reduced.

"Teacher, is there something wrong with my martial spirit?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang hesitate, Tang San, being clever, quickly realized the problem himself.

"Don't be so hasty, little sister. It's too early to say if there's a problem. We need to test your Clear Sky Hammer!"

Yu Xiaogang quickly comforted Tang San and then said.

Afterwards, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San tested Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer together.

The final result was naturally very upsetting for them.

"The quality of my martial soul has actually decreased..."

Tang San gripped the Clear Sky Hammer tightly, somewhat unable to accept that his martial soul had actually lost its quality.

For a fleeting moment, Tang San even considered killing Yu Xiaogang to vent his anger.

Misleading the youth is a death sentence.

However, Tang San held back in the end. After all, it was just a fleeting thought. He was well aware of how good Yu Xiaogang was to him and truly regarded Yu Xiaogang as a father figure.

A teacher for a day is a father for life!

"Xiao San, I'm so sorry, I never expected it to turn out like this!"

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was also very remorseful and regretful. He regretted that he had not thought through all the possible results before letting Tang San conduct the experiment. It was simply wrong of him.

If he were just a little cautious, it wouldn't be hard to imagine that combining the top-tier martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, with an ordinary hammer might result in either an evolution or a decrease in quality.

It's like mixing scrap metal into high-quality steel; the overall quality is definitely lowered!

Even if Tang San's specially crafted hammer is of the best quality, it is only comparable to ordinary materials. Compared to the top-quality Clear Sky Hammer, it is just scrap metal.

"It's alright, teacher. Although the quality of my Clear Sky Hammer has decreased, it's still barely top-tier, so it doesn't have a big impact!"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's self-reproachful expression, Tang San comforted him instead.

"..."

Faced with Tang San's words of comfort, Yu Xiaogang felt even more guilty towards Tang San.

"This is the only good news, Xiao San. Don't worry, it was the teacher's oversight before. But discovering this method is ultimately a good thing for you!"

"In the future, your teacher will definitely find a way to obtain sufficiently precious materials and then have someone forge the best Clear Sky Hammer for you, so that after you fuse with it, you can restore the quality of your martial soul!"

"If you can find the legendary artifact, you might even be able to upgrade your martial spirit to a legendary god-level martial spirit!"

In the end, Yu Xiaogang could only try to put a positive note.

Discovering this method of evolving martial souls is ultimately a remarkable discovery.

The thought that this method wasn't discovered by him first, but by Su Mo, made Yu Xiaogang feel uneasy.

"The teacher is right!"

Tang San didn't hold out much hope in the face of Yu Xiaogang's words.

God-level weapons are not so easy to find.

Therefore, the discovery of this method of evolving martial souls did not bring him any benefit.

His original martial soul was already the top-tier martial soul, and now he has to find a way to upgrade it again, and it's hard to say whether he can do it!

God-tier weapons are just a fantasy, and top-tier weapons aren't easy to obtain either!

Now, it seems even more difficult for him to become strong enough to protect Xiao Wu.

Thinking of this, Tang San felt an inexplicable irritation. After dealing with Yu Xiaogang for a while, Tang San hurriedly left.

"Oh, it's all my fault!"

"I hope my idol, His Majesty Haotian, won't be too angry when he finds out!"

After Tang San left, Yu Xiaogang sighed with regret.

He was somewhat worried about how angry Tang Hao would be if he found out about this.

He had heard Flander mention that Zhao Wuji had been beaten up by Tang Hao, so it was impossible for Yu Xiaogang to say that he wasn't afraid.

"Your Majesty should be able to understand me; my intention was also for the good of the mistress!"

Once Yu Xiaogang thought about it this way, he felt much more at ease.

While Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer martial soul quality was decreasing, Su Mo and Ning Rongrong also arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Team.
