Chapter 5: A Thirty-Year-Old Soul? Tang Hao: Xiaosan, You Must Use Your Left-Hand Hammer to Protect Your Right-Hand Grass!

Su Ming, in his usual routine, summoned the journal with a thought to begin writing. He recorded the day's events and made some personal remarks. With this simple process, he could earn rewards every day—something Su Ming found incredibly satisfying!

[This morning, Grandpa Jack is taking me to Nuoding Academy to become a working student. Since he felt that Tang San also awakened his martial soul and soul power, he didn't want his talent to go to waste, so he asked Su Yuntao for a recommendation letter so that Tang San could also become a working student.]

[After all, the village only had one spot for a working student, and Grandpa Jack naturally gave it to the person closer to him. I think this is perfectly normal.]

The female characters reading the journal agreed that this was reasonable. Su Ming was the one raised by Grandpa Jack, so it was only natural that he had a closer relationship with him. The only working student spot should go to Su Ming. It was already generous of Grandpa Jack to get a recommendation for Tang San as well. After all, it was just an extra spot, and most academies would give Wuhun Hall some face and accept it.

Just when they thought Tang San would be grateful to Grandpa Jack, the journal's content took an unexpected turn.

[But honestly, I didn't expect Grandpa Jack to go to Su Yuntao for a recommendation letter for Tang San. With Tang San's thirty-year-old soul, he should understand the situation clearly. This letter might not even work, though the chances are low. Still, the village's working student spot is a safer bet.]

[Now, I'm not sure if Tang San will feel grateful to Grandpa Jack. Who knows? He might even harbor some resentment. At the very least, he's bound to feel uncomfortable.]

[Let's not forget, in my previous life, when Tang San was young, his father Tang Hao didn't like him much and was often drunk. Tang San took care of his father's daily needs, and his life wasn't great. Only Grandpa Jack truly cared for him and even scolded his father for him.]

[Yet, instead of being grateful, Tang San coldly said to Grandpa Jack, 'What right do you have to criticize my father? No matter what, he's still my father!']

[I remember laughing out of frustration when I saw that in my past life. Grandpa Jack helped him, and he didn't even appreciate it!]

[Later, Grandpa Jack gave the only working student spot to Tang San. After that, Tang San returned to Holy Soul Village only once during the holidays, and that was to see his father. After Tang Hao left, Tang San never returned.]

[Today, when Grandpa Jack gave him the recommendation letter, Tang San just calmly thanked him and accepted it. Perhaps, in his mind, he felt it was something he deserved.]

The female characters were stunned by what they read.

A thirty-year-old soul?

What was that supposed to mean?

Could Tang San be like Su Ming?

Why wasn't Su Ming explaining further?

They were then struck by Tang San's "defense" of his father. How could someone act like that?

Most of the female characters merely found their opinion of Tang San dropping a bit further.

Since only Su Ming could see the journal, they figured that while some of his personal thoughts might come through, the majority of what he wrote had to be true. It wasn't like Su Ming knew someone else was reading it, so why would he lie?

After reading Su Ming's journal, the one most affected was A Yin. She had also received a soul power boost as a reward, increasing her soul power by 1%, which made her feel incredibly lucky.

This boost also increased the cultivation years of her soul beast form, giving her hope. If she kept reading the journal and receiving a soul power increase every seven days, it wouldn't be long before she regained her one-hundred-thousand-year cultivation and transformed back into human form.

She also had questions for Tang Hao, especially about whether he had set her up when Wuhun Hall discovered her soul beast identity.

Now, she saw something even more shocking: that Tang San's body housed a thirty-year-old soul!

Could Tang San be like Su Ming?

She couldn't accept that her son might have another person's soul inside him!

A Yin was incredibly anxious but had no way to confirm the truth. All she could do was hope Su Ming would write more about Tang San in his journal to clarify things.

As for Tang San's lack of gratitude to Grandpa Jack, it paled in comparison to the potential revelation about the thirty-year-old soul.

If Tang San really did have a thirty-year-old soul, that would mean Tang San wasn't her son!

No six-year-old child would treat someone who helped him that way, and it seemed Tang San's personality didn't resemble hers at all.

After the initial shock, the female characters resumed reading the journal. After all, they weren't directly involved with Tang San, so they might as well enjoy the drama.

[In reality, even if Tang San didn't get the working student spot, he would've been fine. After all, he has twin martial souls. Throughout the entire continent's history, how many twin martial soul users have there been?]

[With Tang San's talent, there's no way Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo, would let it go to waste.]

[Speaking of which, I have to mention one of the most memorable moments (in my opinion). It's so funny when you think about it.]

Su Ming's words piqued the curiosity of the female characters.

[At first, Tang San happily told Tang Hao that he had awakened innate full soul power. Tang Hao was slightly pleased when he heard that, but when he saw that Tang San's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, his attitude immediately turned cold.]

[Later, when Tang San revealed his other martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao's attitude changed drastically. He immediately embraced Tang San with excitement.]

[Then he grabbed Tang San by the shoulders and said excitedly, 'Xiaosan, you can't reveal this hammer martial soul yet. In the future, you must use your left-hand hammer to protect your right-hand grass!']

[Isn't that contradictory? He told him not to use the Clear Sky Hammer, but then said to use the left-hand hammer to protect the right-hand Blue Silver Grass. It's hilarious! The best part is that Tang San seriously nodded in agreement!]

[Afterward, Tang San's most frequently used martial soul was Blue Silver Grass. Whenever he fought, he would bind his opponents with it. Online, people jokingly called it the "Mother's Embrace," and it was just too funny!]

The female characters reading this couldn't help but feel strange. However, since Tang San's mother was the Blue Silver Emperor, calling it the "Mother's Embrace" didn't seem entirely wrong.

As A Yin read this, she felt uncomfortable all over. Originally, using Blue Silver Grass for binding opponents didn't seem odd, but after reading Su Ming's take on it, she now felt weird about it.

At that moment, Grandpa Jack looked at Su Ming and Tang San and said, "Su Ming, Tang San, it's time to go."

Hearing Grandpa Jack's voice, Su Ming put away his journal and followed him. Tang San also followed quietly. The two of them didn't speak to each other.
