Chapter 5: Chapter 5: A Thirty-Year-Old Soul? Tang Hao: Xiao San, You Must Use Your Left Hammer to Protect Your Right Grass!
At this moment, Su Ming summoned his diary with a thought and began to write. He liked to jot down everything that happened each day and vent a little. It felt great to get rewards just for writing his thoughts down daily!
[Today, Grandpa Jack is taking me to Notting Academy to work as a labor student. He also feels that since Tang San awakened both a martial spirit and spirit power, it would be a waste to let his talent go to waste. So, he requested a letter of recommendation from Su Yuntao for Tang San to also be admitted as a labor student.]
[After all, there's only one labor student slot in the village, and it's natural for Grandpa Jack to give it to someone closer to him. I think that's totally normal.]
The female protagonists reading the diary also thought this was reasonable. After all, Su Ming was adopted by Grandpa Jack, and their relationship was naturally closer. It made sense for the only slot to go to Su Ming.
It was already generous of Grandpa Jack to request a letter for Tang San. Most academies would grant such a small favor to the Spirit Hall anyway.
Just when they expected Tang San to gratefully thank Grandpa Jack, the diary took an unexpected turn.
[But honestly, I didn't expect Grandpa Jack to go as far as to ask Su Yuntao for this letter on Tang San's behalf. With a soul over 30 years old, Tang San should've understood the implications—this letter might not even be useful. Although it's a low-probability scenario, the village's labor student spot is still more reliable.]
[At this point, I'm not sure whether Tang San will be grateful to Grandpa Jack, or if he'll hold a grudge against him. One thing's for sure: he definitely won't feel comfortable about it!]
[Let's not forget how, in his previous life, Tang Hao didn't like Tang San as a child and often drank heavily. Tang San was responsible for all of Tang Hao's daily needs, and his life was far from easy. Only Grandpa Jack genuinely cared for him, even scolding Tang Hao on his behalf.]
[And yet, instead of feeling grateful, Tang San coldly told Grandpa Jack, "What right do you have to speak about my father? Even if he is like that, he's still my father!"]
[When I read this part in the past, I couldn't help but laugh. Seriously, Grandpa Jack was helping you, and you didn't even appreciate it!]
[Later on, Grandpa Jack still gave the labor student slot to Tang San. But after that, Tang San only came back to Saint Soul Village once during a school break, and even then, it was just to see his father.]
[After Tang Hao left, Tang San never returned again.]
[And today, when Grandpa Jack gave him the letter of recommendation, all Tang San did was give a brief "thank you" before taking it, like he thought it was owed to him.]
The female protagonists were completely stunned by Su Ming's diary.
A thirty-year-old soul?
What was going on?
Was Tang San the same as Su Ming?
Why wasn't he explaining further
Then, they were all shocked by Tang San's apparent ungratefulness toward Grandpa Jack. How could someone be like that?
Most of the women didn't feel too strongly about Tang San; they merely saw him in a slightly worse light. But since only Su Ming could see the diary, they believed that what he wrote was largely true, even if it included some personal thoughts and emotions.
After all, Su Ming wouldn't just write nonsense in his diary knowing others were secretly reading it, right?
Among them, Ah Yin had the strongest reaction. Yesterday, she had received a guaranteed reward from the diary, increasing her spirit power by one percent. It was as if luck was on her side.
This increase in spirit power made her feel a real difference, confirming that the diary was genuine. It also gave her hope that if she continued reading, she could increase her power enough to regain her ten-thousand-year cultivation and take human form again.
She also had many questions she wanted to ask Tang Hao, like whether it was really his plan that led the Spirit Hall to discover her spirit beast identity.
Now, she had just learned something shocking—there was a thirty-year-old soul inside Tang San!
Could Tang San and Su Ming be the same kind of person?
Ah Yin couldn't bear the thought that her son might have another soul inside him!
For now, she could only anxiously hope Su Ming would write more about Tang San to clarify the situation.
As for Tang San's ingratitude toward Grandpa Jack, it paled in comparison to the revelation about his soul.
If Tang San truly had a thirty-year-old soul, that would mean Tang San wasn't her real son!
What six-year-old would treat someone trying to help them that way? Besides, it seemed Tang San's personality hadn't inherited anything from her!
After the shock passed, the women's attention returned to the diary. After all, Tang San had nothing to do with them, so they could continue enjoying the show.
[To be honest, even if Tang San hadn't gotten the labor student slot, it wouldn't have mattered much. Tang San has twin martial spirits, after all. How many twin martial spirit users have appeared in the history of the continent?]
[With that kind of talent, Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo, would never just sit back and do nothing.]
[Now, let's talk about one of the funniest scenes ever (in my opinion), just thinking about it makes me laugh.]
At this point, the female protagonists were fully intrigued.
[Initially, Tang San excitedly told Tang Hao that he had awakened with innate full spirit power. Tang Hao was slightly pleased, but when he saw that Tang San's martial spirit was Blue Silver Grass, his attitude immediately turned cold.]
[Later, when Tang San revealed his other martial spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao's attitude drastically changed, and he immediately hugged Tang San in excitement.]
[Then, gripping Tang San's shoulders, he excitedly told him, "Xiao San, you mustn't reveal this hammer spirit for now. In the future, you must use your left-hand hammer to protect your right-hand grass!"]
[Isn't that completely contradictory? He told Tang San not to use the Clear Sky Hammer, but also to use it to protect his Blue Silver Grass. It's hilarious! The best part is, Tang San seriously nodded!]
The women couldn't help but give Tang San strange looks. However, since Tang San's mother was a Blue Silver Emperor, it didn't seem too strange that he would use his Blue Silver Grass spirit.
But Ah Yin felt incredibly uncomfortable. Initially, there had been nothing wrong with using the Blue Silver Grass for entangling opponents—it was a plant spirit, after all, and that was its typical use. But after reading Su Ming's diary, it now felt oddly disturbing.
Just then, Grandpa Jack, seeing that both boys were ready, said, "Su Ming, Tang San, let's go."
Hearing Grandpa Jack's words, Su Ming closed his diary and followed behind him. Tang San also quietly followed, but there was no conversation between the two.
