Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

Tang Hao, his eyes still blurry with drunkenness, leaned against the fireplace. Upon hearing this, he merely raised his eyelids lazily and hummed, "Okay, I know."

Tang Hao had already been observing Tang San and Cinderella's entire spirit awakening process from outside the Spirit Hall branch. He naturally knew that Tang San and Cinderella had awakened innate full spirit power; he was merely playing along.

Tang Hao's body trembled slightly upon seeing the familiar Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's hand.

Ah Yin... our child... he inherited your talent!

However, what happened next was beyond Tang Hao's expectations.

Tang San glanced at the drunken Tang Hao and spoke again, "Dad, I have another martial soul."

Before he finished speaking, Tang San raised his other hand, and a small, jet-black hammer appeared in his hand.

"This...this is!!"

Tang Hao suddenly jumped up from his chair, his drunkenness instantly vanishing. His eyes widened like copper bells as he stared intently at the small hammer, his body trembling slightly with excitement!

The Haotian Hammer! It really is the Haotian Hammer!

Twin Martial Souls! His and Ah Yin's child actually possesses twin Martial Souls, a rare occurrence in a century! Moreover, they are the strongest weapon Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, and Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass.

A surge of joy welled up in Tang Hao's heart; the hope of avenging Ah Yin was now so clear in his mind.

Looking at Tang Hao's expression, Cinderella instantly guessed his thoughts, which were nothing more than that he could use Tang San and herself to avenge Ah Yin.

For the past six years, Cinderella has been somewhat unable to understand Tang Hao. He is a titled Douluo, and his strength is among the top in the Douluo Continent.

Moreover, Tang Hao is not only younger than other Title Douluos, but he also has a ninth spirit ring that is 100,000 years old.

He could have easily spent those six years cultivating diligently and properly teaching Tang San to lay a solid foundation for him. Wouldn't that have made revenge much more likely?

But Tang Hao spent his days indulging in alcohol, thinking of nothing and doing nothing.

If he thinks there's no hope of revenge, he should at least treat Ah Yin's child well!

But Tang Hao simply did nothing and ignored everything. Cinderella really wanted to see what Tang Hao's brain was made of.

Tang Hao stepped forward and pressed his rough hand heavily on Tang San's thin shoulder, the force so great that Tang San grimaced.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse and distorted with excitement.

"Little sister! Remember! Remember my words! Always use the hammer in your left hand to protect the grass in your right! Always use the hammer in your left hand to protect the grass in your right!!"

Tang Hao repeatedly emphasized this sentence, as if it were his supreme belief.

But then, his tone abruptly changed, becoming incredibly stern and grave. He growled at Tang San, "But! Before you possess absolute power, absolutely! Absolutely no one can know you have this hammer spirit! Not even the person you trust most! Do you hear me? Forget about it! Pretend it doesn't exist!"

Tang Hao glared fiercely at Tang San, as if he would devour him if he didn't agree.

Cinderella, standing to the side, rolled her eyes, her azure eyes filled with speechlessness.

She mentally ranted, "You want to use a hammer to protect the grass, but you can't use a hammer? Did you learn this logic from a wine bottle? So you're making Blue Silver Grass protect the hammer? Did you drink yourself into a stupor? The logic is completely flawed."

Of course, Cinderella only dared to say these words in her heart.

After venting his emotions, Tang Hao glanced at Cinderella again.

He didn't say much about her unique crystal dancing shoe martial soul and her equally innate full soul power, but the flames of revenge in his eyes burned even more intensely.

Two children born with full soul power, one of whom also possesses twin martial souls!

The future of the Haotian Sect and the hope of avenging Ah Yin all rest on their shoulders!

Chapter 46 You've Already Seeked Your Own Path to Death!

The next day, old Jack returned to the blacksmith shop with a gloomy and dejected expression.

He traveled to several nearby villages, talking himself hoarse, but the result was disappointing.

The number of work-study student slots was already scarce, and no village was willing to give them up easily.

After all, a work-study student spot can save hundreds of gold soul coins, and even if no one in the village awakens soul power, they would still prefer to sell the spot.

Old Jack looked at the blacksmith shop, still filled with the smell of alcohol, and the two well-behaved children standing to the side with clear eyes.

A sense of dissatisfaction rose within her, but she forced herself to speak to Tang Hao: "Tang Hao, look, we really can't spare a second work-study student spot. How about... how about you go to the city and find a job? A blacksmith's skill can always earn you a living and some money, so prioritize the children's schooling. Or let one child go to school first. I think Cindy's martial soul isn't a useless one after all, so let her go first? Let the third child wait a year, and we can use the work-study student spot next year."

Before Old Jack could finish speaking, Tang Hao interrupted him with an impatient snort.

Tang Hao glanced sideways at Old Jack, his face carrying an inexplicable arrogance.

"Alright, old Jack, you don't need to worry about my son. I have my own plans for his schooling, and you don't need to concern yourself with his money."

Old Jack was taken aback. Looking at Tang Hao's arrogant attitude of "I'm rich," he was so angry that his beard bristled. He cursed inwardly, "You poor drunkard, what else can you do besides blacksmithing and drinking? What are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty!"

But old Jack couldn't say anything more, so he could only sigh, shake his head, and leave.

He made up his mind that on the first day of school, he would personally take the two children to the academy to see what Tang Hao's plan really was!

After Old Jack left, Cinderella blinked her big blue eyes and spoke at the right moment, her voice carrying just the right amount of innocence and worry: "Dad, Xiao San and I both have innate full soul power. I heard from Grandpa in the village that we can directly obtain soul rings and become soul masters, so we can go and receive subsidies from the Spirit Hall. How do we obtain soul rings? I heard that we need to hunt soul beasts."

Cinderella's question clearly hit a blind spot in Tang Hao's knowledge. He was born into the Haotian Sect, the number one sect in the world, and was a prodigy since childhood. His soul ring configuration was the best solution that the sect had thoroughly researched. He could just go hunting with his elders. Why did he need to worry about theory and knowledge?

Academic subjects? What are those? Will they increase the weight of the hammer?

Tang Hao was stumped by Cinderella's question and felt a little embarrassed. He could only wave his hand vaguely and say impatiently, "What's the rush? You can go to school first, and the teachers will teach you! Okay, don't bother me if there's nothing else!"

After saying that, as if to cover up his embarrassment, he grabbed the wine pot on the table and hurriedly went back to his room, leaving the brother and sister looking at each other in bewilderment.

Seeing Tang Hao's impatience with Cinderella, Tang San felt a surge of dissatisfaction. "Old man, how dare you treat my sister like this!"

Cinderella watched Tang Hao's disappearing figure and sighed silently.

She knew she couldn't rely on Tang Hao; she would have to rely on herself and her future "tools" to acquire knowledge about spirit rings and spirit beasts.

……

After some time, the day arrived for the opening of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

Old Jack arrived at the blacksmith shop early, eager to see how Tang Hao would solve the tuition problem.

To his astonishment, Tang Hao actually pulled out... two money bags full of gold soul coins from under that dirty bed.

It looked substantial, enough to cover Tang San and Cinderella's tuition for six years at Notting Academy, and even more.

Old Jack's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he pointed at the money bag, his lips trembling: "Tang Hao... this money of yours...?"

His first thought was that Tang Hao might have gone off to do something illegal.

Tang Hao snorted coldly, his face showing a hint of arrogance that disdained any explanation: "Is the wealth accumulated by our ancestors not good enough?"

He naturally wouldn't tell Old Jack that as one of the most outstanding disciples of the Clear Sky Sect and the youngest Title Douluo, the gold soul coins in his personal soul tool were enough to buy an entire street in any major city.

I was just wallowing in sadness before, too lazy to care about these mundane things.

Now that the children need it, he can certainly provide it.

However, at the last moment, Tang Hao hesitated for a moment, and then only stuffed a money bag into Old Jack's hand, pointing at Tang San.

"Let's give the work-study spot to the mistress."

Tang Hao remained cautious; it was too conspicuous for a poor blacksmith to suddenly come up with a huge sum of money to send two children to school.

It would be more reasonable to have Tang San, whose talent seems to be even less, work as a part-time student, which would also better conceal the secret of the Clear Sky Hammer.

As for Cinderella, she paid full tuition to attend school, which attracted attention, but the fact that a beautiful girl possesses a high-quality martial soul and innate full soul power can be barely explained by the fact that a powerful figure took a liking to her and secretly sponsored her.

Old Jack looked at the money bag in his hand, then at the other money bag that Tang Hao had taken back, and at Tang Hao's unquestionable expression, and finally swallowed all his questions.

As long as you have money!

Now that both children were old enough to go to school, Old Jack didn't care about anything else. He happily took Tang San and Cinderella with him and set off for Notting City.

Tang Hao stood at the entrance of the blacksmith shop, watching the children's departing figures. A complex emotion flashed in his cloudy eyes, but it was quickly covered by the deep sadness and alcohol in his heart.

……

The gates of Notting City's Junior Soul Master Academy looked quite imposing compared to the dilapidated state of Holy Soul Village.

But before Old Jack and his companions could even enjoy the moment, their conversation was interrupted by a discordant voice.

"Stop right there! What are you doing? Is this a place for country bumpkins like you?"

A slightly overweight doorman in a college gatekeeper uniform, with an arrogant look in his eyes, stopped the travel-worn old Jack and Cinderella.

The doorman's gaze swept over Old Jack's faded old clothes and the obvious patches on Tang San's body, his face revealing undisguised disgust and contempt.

But when his gaze fell on Cinderella beside him, his disdain instantly turned into amazement and a hint of barely perceptible lewdness.

With blonde hair, blue eyes, and snow-white skin, she was dressed simply, but her delicate features and unique temperament made her look like a little person who had stepped out of a painting!

How could such a beautiful girl grow up in such a remote and impoverished place?

Tang San's senses were extremely sharp, and he noticed the guard's gaze toward Cinderella almost instantly.

A surge of icy rage rushed to Tang San's mind, and the Mysterious Heaven Skill within his body began to circulate.

This damned thing, how dare you look at your sister like that! You're asking for death!

Chapter 47 Master Yu Xiaogang

Tang San suddenly stepped forward, using his small body to block Cinderella.

He raised his head, and his eyes, which were usually so docile in front of Cinderella, now pierced the doorman like poisoned daggers.

Tang San clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

He swore that if the gatekeeper dared to say even the slightest disrespectful word to Cinderella, or give her even the slightest dirty look, Tang San would make him regret it!

If it were Tang San from his previous life, he would probably have already launched a hidden weapon attack or started calculating how to kill with a single blow.

But in this life, under Cinderella's guidance and education day after day, he has learned how to handle problems more intelligently.

Killing him outright is too risky and could easily cause trouble for his sister, but it's still necessary to teach him a lesson so he'll remember it!

The gatekeeper felt a chill run down his spine from Tang San's icy gaze, which was completely unlike that of a six-year-old child, and subconsciously took a half-step back.

But he quickly realized what was happening and became somewhat embarrassed and angry. How dare a little kid glare at me?

"What are they doing?"

A hoarse male voice, with a deliberately deep tone, came from the side, immediately breaking the tense atmosphere.

Cinderella's heart skipped a beat, and she looked in the direction of the sound.
