Chapter 131 You Have a Way to Die
Tang San lowered his head and quickly apologized to Tang Hao:
"I'm sorry, Father, I forgot. I'll make breakfast right away."
"Okay, go ahead."
Tang Hao nodded unhappily, and urged in a muffled voice, "Hurry up!"
"Yes, Father!"
Tang San didn't take Tang Hao's displeasure and urging to heart. Instead, he felt extremely happy, thinking to himself, "This is great! My father has finally asked me to do something again. I must complete the task he has given me."
To Tang San, this scene resembled a picture of a loving father and filial son.
However, to outsiders, it is undoubtedly a family tragedy of an unscrupulous father maliciously exploiting and abusing his young son.
"Wait!"
Old Jack couldn't stand it anymore and gave a direct reprimand.
Then he immediately stepped forward, grabbed Tang San's dark arm with one hand, pointed at Tang Hao with the other, and glared at him while puffing out his beard:
"Tang Hao, how can you treat a child like this?"
"You have hands and feet, can't you cook for yourself?"
"How could you have the nerve to make your mistress, a mere child, serve you?"
"He's only six years old! Have you no shame?!"
"."
Hearing Old Jack pointing at him, he became even more arrogant, his already unkempt and dark face turning even darker, like the bottom of a pot.
"Heh, you're saying he's only six? Bullshit, he's an old monster!" Tang Hao thought to himself.
Then, with a gloomy face, he snorted coldly and retorted to Old Jack without any politeness:
"Hmph! The mistress is my son, not yours. How I treat her is between my son and me, none of your business! You're just being nosy."
Tang San was about to go inside to make breakfast as his father had instructed.
But suddenly, Old Jack grabbed his arm.
A glint of light flashed in Tang San's eyes.
Subconsciously, one would use grappling techniques, like controlling a crane to capture a dragon.
At the same time, he activated the Mysterious Heaven Skill and used the Mysterious Jade Hand to take out three iron nails from his sleeve and hold them between his fingers.
These three iron nails were Tang San's own secretly crafted hidden weapons from the Tang Clan. They were hand-thrown and were called Bone-Piercing Nails.
The tip of the bone-piercing nail was coated with a ring of dark, highly toxic substance.
The Dark and Deadly Poison was created by Tang San after spending five years collecting more than a dozen poisonous flowers and herbs in the mountains near Holy Soul Village. He then extracted the toxins using the Tang Sect's poison-making methods and mixed them together to make the poison.
Due to limited production conditions, the dark, highly toxic substance did not appear particularly potent to Tang San.
However, it is highly poisonous to ordinary people.
If an ordinary person is poisoned by this poison, they will die within a short time if they do not receive timely treatment, as their body will ulcerate and they will die.
But Tang San quickly realized that it was Old Jack who had grabbed him, and his father was still there too.
Tang San quickly withdrew the skillful force of the Crane Control and Dragon Capture Technique and put the Bone-Piercing Nail back into his sleeve.
His movement was incredibly fast and fluid, taking less than two seconds in total.
Tang San remained expressionless throughout, and Old Jack couldn't detect anything amiss, continuing to nag and berate Tang Hao.
He heard old Jack scolding his father without explaining anything.
Tang San's face darkened involuntarily. He thought to himself, "How dare you insult my father! You're courting death! According to the general principles of the Xuan Tian Treasure Record, you have a way to die! If my father hadn't been here, you would already be a corpse!"
Tang San's every move was observed by Tang Hao without the slightest error.
Tang Hao felt both surprised and gratified.
It's not bad that he felt angry and wanted to defend his father after hearing others insult him.
Therefore, Tang Hao did not stop Tang San immediately, nor did he remind Old Jack.
He glanced subtly at Tang San's hand, which was tucked into the sleeve of his coarse cloth.
A subtle, inexplicable meaning flashed deep in his eyes.
Tang Hao knew very well that Tang San's hand had now become as white and lustrous as jade.
From there, Tang Hao could clearly sense a hidden danger, a danger as sinister as a venomous snake.
Of course, it's dangerous for ordinary people like Old Jack.
For a titled Douluo like Tang Hao, he poses no threat whatsoever; he's not even worthy of being tickled.
Tang Hao didn't take it to heart at all, and even made a rather smug comment in his mind:
"Your methods are decisive and ruthless enough, that's good, that's my style."
"However, it's gone a bit too far insidious. Those little gadgets in Xiao San's hands are ultimately unorthodox methods. Little does he know that strength and dominance are the right path, which is the principle of the Haotian Sect, and there's no mistake about it."
However, old Jack is still the village chief of Holy Soul Village, and he cannot afford to lose him.
It would be bad if the mistress acted impulsively and hurt old Jack.
At that time, he and his son would likely be expelled from Holy Soul Village, and might even attract the minions of the Spirit Hall.
If our whereabouts are revealed, the Spirit Hall will definitely not let my father and me go, and will surely send people to hunt us down.
So Tang Hao waved his hand impatiently at Old Jack and said somewhat displeasedly:
"Alright, old Jack, didn't you come here to see your mistress? Spit it out, and get out of here. Don't get in my way."
"Well--"
Old Jack was taken aback by Tang Hao's words, paused for a moment, and finally remembered the purpose of his visit. "Ah, right, right, business is more important."
Forgetting to continue criticizing Tang Hao, he quickly turned to Tang San with a warm expression and asked:
"Little San, you're six years old now, aren't you?"
Seeing Old Jack looking at him, Tang San's gloomy expression instantly returned to normal.
He didn't know why Old Jack was asking his age, and naturally, like a six-year-old, he innocently nodded.
"Yes, Little Three is only six years old. Grandpa Jack, what are you doing?"
Hearing Tang San politely address him as "Grandpa," Old Jack felt a surge of satisfaction. He felt great about being superior to Tang Hao, and chuckled happily.
"The Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony is about to begin this year, and it's time for you, Xiao San, to participate."
After saying that, Old Jack turned to look at the disheveled, alcohol-reeking Tang Hao, and his expression instantly changed, his smile vanishing:
"Tang Hao, what do you say?"
Tang Hao listened to their conversation from the side, and his thick eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
He glanced at Tang San, a strange meaning lurking in the depths of his eyes, and said calmly:
"Then let's participate. When does the awakening ceremony begin?"
After Tang Hao finished speaking, he took off the gourd from his waist, gulped down several mouthfuls of cheap ale, and exhaled a breath of alcohol in a dejected manner.
Looking at Tang Hao, Old Jack frowned deeply, his wrinkles deepening, his old eyes filled with disappointment. He thought to himself that Tang Hao was beyond saving and could not be relied upon at all.
So he said calmly:
"The Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony will be held in three days at the Martial Soul Hall branch in the village. I will come personally and bring Xiao San there."
"Whatever."
Tang Hao let out a hiccup, nodded casually, and didn't want to pay any more attention to the old man.
Upon hearing the two mention the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, Tang San's eyes immediately lit up.
He had heard from the villagers that everyone in the Douluo Continent has their own unique martial soul. As long as you are six years old, you can participate in the martial soul awakening ceremony and have the opportunity to become a soul master.
However, the villagers didn't seem to know much about Soul Masters either, and their explanations were somewhat vague, so he didn't have much information.
Thinking about his own Xuan Tian Gong, which he has been unable to break through its bottleneck, perhaps becoming a Soul Master would be the way for him to break through?
Such an opportunity must be seized; it cannot be easily let go.
With a thought racing through his mind, Tang San quickly pulled away from Old Jack's hand, strode up to him, and, completely forgetting his earlier belief that Old Jack was courting death, looked up at him with curiosity and asked:
"Grandpa Jack, can I participate in the Awakening Ceremony too?"
Old Jack chuckled and nodded affirmatively:
"Of course you can."
Seeing Tang San's curious expression, Old Jack was very satisfied. He stroked his white beard and continued:
"Hey, in Douluo Continent, every commoner like us can participate in the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony, and it's all free."
"The Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony is held once a year. As long as you register with the Spirit Hall in advance and don't miss the time, you're good to go."
"At that time, the Spirit Hall will dispatch patrol officers to various towns and villages to awaken the spirits of children who are six years old or older."
"Our Holy Soul Village is under the jurisdiction of Notting City. At that time, a deacon of the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall, who is at the level of a Great Soul Master, will come in person to help the children in our village awaken their Martial Souls."
"So, mistress, you absolutely mustn't miss this opportunity."
"Get ready, keep yourself in top physical condition, and I'll come pick you up in three days."
