Chapter 3 Ah Yin absorbs the right leg soul bone of the Ten Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor!
Tang Hao slowly stood up. His eyes, which were usually cloudy, were now unusually clear, like two sharp swords drawn from their sheaths, so sharp that no one dared to look directly at them.
Although his tall and imposing figure still carried a hint of dejection, an invisible pressure belonging to a Title Douluo quietly spread out like a giant beast awakening, making the air in the entire room thick and sticky.
His gaze first swept over Tang San, lingering for a moment on that face that bore some resemblance to his own, yet always exuded a composure that did not belong to a child.
Then, his gaze turned to Tang Ren.
When Tang Hao saw Tang Ren's face, which bore a resemblance to Ah Yin's, his gaze softened instantly, and a trace of unforgettable reminiscence and tenderness flashed in his deep pupils.
He seemed to see, through Tang Ren, the figure of his beloved who had sacrificed herself for him.
"You..." Tang Hao's voice was hoarse, like two rusty pieces of iron rubbing together, "What kind of martial souls have you all awakened?"
Tang San felt a chill run down his spine. He knew this was his best chance to gain his father's attention and prove himself!
He stepped forward, a perfectly measured seriousness on his youthful face, and slowly raised his right hand. An ordinary blue silver grass appeared in his palm.
"Dad, my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass."
Tang Hao's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he didn't show much disappointment, as if he had expected it.
However, Tang San's next move made Tang Hao's breath catch in his throat!
Tang San took a deep breath and slowly raised his left hand, which he had been clenching tightly.
With a low shout, a small, black, and antique-style hammer, exuding an unparalleled domineering aura, suddenly appeared in his palm!
"boom!"
That familiar aura, originating from the depths of his bloodline, struck Tang Hao's heart like a thunderbolt!
His heart, which had been dormant for six years, began to beat wildly at this moment!
"Hao...Haotian Hammer!" Tang Hao suddenly stood up from the ground, his tall figure trembling violently with excitement.
He rushed to Tang San, grabbed his left hand, stared intently at the small hammer, and tears welled up in his tiger-like eyes!
"Twin Martial Souls! It's actually twin Martial Souls! Hahahaha... Good! Good!" He roared to the sky, his laughter filled with the excitement and ecstasy that he had suppressed for many years.
"Ah Yin, did you see that? Our son, he inherited both of our martial spirits!"
A smug smile appeared on Tang San's face.
However, just as Tang Hao was filled with excitement, he turned his gaze to Tang Ren, who had remained silent to the side.
"Xiao Ren, what about you?" His voice was still trembling, but it was filled with unprecedented anticipation.
Tang Ren calmly raised his right hand.
In an instant, a soft yet dazzling emerald-gold light bloomed in his palm. The light was so warm and sacred, filled with endless life force!
"This is...!" Tang Hao's pupils contracted sharply! This aura, this emerald-gold light, is strikingly similar to Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor form! Could it be...? (The Blue Silver Emperor has golden markings, well, if there are any objections, just consider it a personal interpretation)
As the light faded, a small sapling, seemingly cast in gold, floated silently in the air.
It was not the Blue Silver Emperor, but it was more sacred and more magnificent than the Blue Silver Emperor in Tang Hao's memory!
The rich life force rushed towards him, and Tang Hao felt that the hidden injuries left by years of battles and the depleted body due to alcoholism were showing signs of recovery under the nourishment of this force!
"Wow... such powerful vitality!" Tang Hao was shocked.
However, what shocked him even more was yet to come.
Tang Ren retrieved the Tree of Life, and under the astonished gazes of Tang Hao and Tang San, he slowly raised his left hand.
There was no light, no breath.
A hammer, entirely black and covered with mysterious dark gold patterns, appeared out of thin air.
It is not as domineering as the Clear Sky Hammer, but it exudes a kind of deathly silence and destruction that seems to be able to devour everything and end everything!
If Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer is a weapon of the conqueror who conquers the world, then Tang Ren's Destruction Hammer is a divine scepter that judges all living beings!
Tang Hao's gaze froze completely!
Another one... with twin martial souls?!
Moreover, these two martial souls... whether it's the sapling full of sacred life energy or the hammer exuding extreme destructive power, their quality seems to far surpass that of the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer!
This is... a mutation? No, this is simply a miraculous evolution!
The ecstasy in Tang Hao's eyes gradually faded, replaced by an unprecedented sense of relief and enlightenment.
He gave Tang Ren a deep look, as if he had made an important decision.
He turned around and said to Tang San, who was still immersed in shock and confusion:
"Little San, you have great talent. But it's not enough. From today onwards, your forging tasks will be doubled. Now, go and forge iron."
Tang San was suddenly stunned, and the smug smile on his face froze.
Why? Why am I being treated differently?
For the first time, a poisonous fire called "jealousy" raged in the depths of his mature soul!
The next moment, Tang San shook his head violently, shaking off his emotions. "No, why would he think that? This is his own brother!"
In the end, Tang San silently turned around and walked towards the forging table, swung the iron hammer, and smashed it repeatedly against the red-hot iron block.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Tang Hao ignored him and instead beckoned to Tang Ren, his voice unusually gentle: "Ren, come with me."
Tang Ren silently followed behind his father's tall figure as they walked out of the blacksmith's shop.
Tang Hao led him at a brisk pace, arriving at a rarely visited canyon behind the village.
A magnificent waterfall, like a silver river hanging upside down, cascades down from a cliff hundreds of meters high, creating a deafening roar.
Tang Hao didn't linger and led Tang Ren directly through the icy water curtain.
Beyond the waterfall lies a hidden paradise—a dry and secluded giant cave, clearly a secret chamber carved out by human hands.
In the very center of the secret chamber, a beam of sunlight shone straight down from a crack in the cave ceiling, forming a sacred pillar of light.
Beneath the beam of light, a slender and supple blue silver grass was growing quietly.
Its leaves are glistening with dewdrops, and every vein seems to contain the ultimate truth of life, exuding a gentle and loving aura.
She is Ah Yin.
The moment Tang Hao saw the Blue Silver Grass, all his sharpness and domineering aura vanished from his mountain-like figure.
Like a child who had done something wrong, he sat down carefully and carelessly beside the blue silver grass, reaching out his rough hand to touch it, but afraid of hurting it, so he just stopped in mid-air.
Tang Ren's heart was deeply touched at that moment. He could feel the purest maternal love emanating from that blue silver grass.
He slowly walked forward, stretched out his small, tender hand, and wanted to gently touch that tender blue leaf.
Just as his fingertips were about to touch it, the Blue Silver Grass seemed to come alive, and it stretched out its longest leaf.
She gently and affectionately wrapped her fingers around Tang Ren's, stroking them back and forth, filled with endless longing and tenderness.
A warm current flowed from his fingertips into his heart. Tang Ren's eyes instantly reddened.
"Mom..." he called out silently in his heart.
Before transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, he was just a prospective college student who had just finished the college entrance examination.
She would play around with her father in a very informal way and would enjoy eating the food her mother cooked.
But everything was ended by an out-of-control bus, which brought him to this world.
For the past six years, he has longed for his life in his previous life, and Ah Yin's touch has brought his longing to its peak.
"Xiao Ren," he said in a deep voice.
"There are some things I originally intended to tell you when you're older. But today, seeing your martial spirit, I've decided to tell you ahead of time."
He told Tang Ren a lot, from the glory of the Clear Sky Sect to his deep-seated hatred for the Spirit Hall, and the truth about Ah Yin's sacrifice...
These secrets, which were originally meant to be told to Tang San, the "chosen one," were now being revealed to Tang Ren without reservation.
"Your martial soul is the perfect combination and sublimation of the Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. Your future is limitless, and may even... surpass mine." Tang Hao's eyes burned with the flames of revenge and the light of hope.
"Therefore, I've decided to entrust this responsibility to you."
Tang Ren listened quietly, understanding dawning on him.
Tang Hao has made his choice.
He chose me, not Tang San.
Perhaps it's not just because of the power of the martial spirit.
Tang Ren recalled Tang San's behavior and words that were inconsistent with his age, as well as the mysterious "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record".
Sure enough, Tang Hao's next words confirmed his guess.
Tang Hao sighed, his voice tinged with confusion and detachment:
"As for your younger brother Tang San... he is very outstanding, even somewhat... strangely outstanding. From a young age, he has shown a mental capacity far exceeding that of ordinary people, and he has also cultivated some techniques and skills that I have never seen before."
A hint of doubt flashed in Tang Hao's eyes: "I even doubted at one point whether the little body in his was really my son."
These words echoed in the secret room like a thunderclap.
A tremendous wave of emotion surged within Tang Ren.
He hadn't expected Tang Hao's intuition to be so sharp!
After saying that, Tang Hao took out an antique wooden box from his pocket and solemnly handed it to Tang Ren.
"This is something your mother left behind; it's the most important part of her. Originally, I didn't know which of you brothers should receive it, but now I know. It belongs to you."
Tang Ren's heart pounded, and he took the box with trembling hands.
"Click".
As soon as the lid was opened, a surge of life energy, even purer and more powerful than the Tree of Life, burst forth!
A crystal-clear leg bone, as if carved from a sapphire, lies quietly inside, its surface shimmering with dazzling royal gold patterns!
A soul bone that every 100,000-year-old soul beast will inevitably drop! The right leg bone of a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor!
"Absorb it right here!" Tang Hao's voice left no room for doubt.
"With your mother's primordial essence present, its power can be maximized! I will protect you!"
"Yes, Father!"
Tang Ren no longer hesitated. He held the soul bone in his hands and sat cross-legged. He could feel the soul bone in his hands cheering and jumping for joy, and his mother beside him gently encouraging him.
He pressed the soul bone onto his right leg, took a deep breath, and activated the soul power within his body.
"Buzz—!"
The sapphire-like soul bone instantly transformed into a stream of light and merged into Tang Ren's right leg.
In an instant, an indescribable and terrifying energy erupted within his body!
An endless surge of life force, like a flood bursting its banks, raged through his limbs and bones!
Countless golden and blue patterns appeared on Tang Ren's body surface, and his right leg was completely enveloped in a dazzling light!
[P.S.: Chapter 440 of the original novel states that even at level one, one can absorb a soul bone of 100,000 years. This is the original text. Brothers who are unaware of this can go back to the original novel to check. Please be kind in your comments.]
