Chapter 3: Old Jack Arrives

After lunch,,。

"Tang Hao, are you busy?" Just as Tang Xiao and Tang San were working towards their ten thousand forgings, they heard an old voice outside.

It was afternoon at this time, Tang Hao was working, building farm tools, and he just hummed when he heard the words.

Tang Xiao and Tang San walked out of their room with some curiosity, only to see an old man, who looked like he was in his sixties, with a slender figure, but he was in good spirits, his clothes were clean and tidy, and his hair was meticulously combed, compared to Tang Hao, it was simply two extremes.

This person, Tang San and Tang Xiao, knew each other, and was Jack, the village elder of the Holy Soul Village.

"Xiaosan, Xiaoxiao, come over and let grandpa take a look." Old Jack waved his hand to Tang Xiao and Tang San.

This village chief is a good man, and the people in the village respect him very much, and in the early years, when Tang Xiao's family was in the most difficult time, he sent food over.

"Hello, Grandpa Jack." Tang Xiao and Tang San walked up to Old Jack and saluted him respectfully. For those who are good to themselves, Tang Xiao and Tang San will keep it in mind.

Tang Hao said coldly: "Is there something wrong, village chief." ”

Old Jack is actually less than ten years older than him, but he is a generation older than him, which makes Tang Hao a little unhappy.

Old Jack seems to have gotten used to Tang Hao's attitude, "Tang Hao, Xiaoxiao and San are almost six years old, right?" He should have also participated in this year's awakening ceremony. ”

Tang Hao glanced at Tang Xiao and Tang San, and said indifferently: "Then let's participate, what day is it?" ”

Old Jack said, "In three days, I'll pick him up then." He looked at Tang Hao's appearance, obviously wanting to say, if he sent him with you, I am afraid it will be delayed.

Tang Hao nodded, and then ignored the village chief.

Tang San then asked, "Grandpa Jack, what is the Awakening Ritual?" ”

Old Jack said: "Each of us has our own martial spirit, and we have to perform the awakening ceremony when we are about six years old. With a martial soul, it will enhance our ability in some aspects. Even the most ordinary martial soul would help. In case you have an excellent martial soul that you can cultivate, then you may even become a soul master. The Awakening Ritual only comes once a year, and I can't let you miss it. It was the deacon of the Martial Spirit Branch of Notting City who came to help the children in our village awaken. That deacon, I thought it was a soul master at the level of a great soul master. ”

When he said the three words of the Great Soul Master, Jack's eyes clearly showed envy.

Tang San had only heard vaguely about the concept of a soul master, and at this time, he naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity easily, and asked, "What does the Great Soul Master mean?" ”

Old Jack is obviously very patient with Tang San, in his heart, the most sensible child in the village is Tang San in front of him, Tang Xiao is not bad, but he is a little naughty, it is really hard to imagine, how can such a father have two sons who are so well-behaved.

"The Great Soul Master is a title at the level of a Soul Master. Soul masters are the most noble profession in our entire Douluo Continent, they can be powerful warriors, and they can also have excellent auxiliary abilities. But no matter what kind of soul master it is, the ranks are all sorted according to the same title. ”

"Soul masters all have their own martial soul power, and according to the strength of their martial soul power, they are divided into ten titles. Each title is divided into 10 levels. At first, those who just got started were called soul warriors, and as long as the martial soul awakened, everyone was a soul warrior. If the martial soul can be cultivated, when the soul power reaches the eleventh level, it will enter the next title, that is, the soul master. And the Great Soul Master is the third in the entire title sequence. When he reached the realm of a great soul master, he was already a very powerful soul master. The overall ten titles are like this. ”

"Soul Master, Soul Master, Great Soul Master, Soul Venerable, Soul Sect, Soul King, Soul Emperor, Soul Saint, Soul Douluo and Title Douluo. The name of our Douluo Continent comes from this. Legend has it that Title Douluo who has reached level ninety or above can give himself a title, they are simply invincible! ”

His eyes shone with pride, "Our Holy Soul Village produced an eighth-rank Soul Saint a hundred years ago. In the whole of Notting City, and indeed the entire province of Fasno, it is also extremely rare. ”

Tang Hao on the side pursed his lips, "Old Jack, that's just a legend." ”

As if he had been touched by the scales, Old Jack was furious, "What is a legend, a legend also comes from facts." Tang Hao, you have been in the village for six years, and you should understand the status of that soul saint in our hearts. If I hear you insult the Soul Saint again, I will expel you from the village. If it weren't for Xiaoxiao and Xiaosan's sake, do you think I'd like to come to your kennel? ”

Tang Hao was not angry, and still knocked on the farm tool in his hand, as if he hadn't heard Jack's words.

Jack glared at him fiercely, and then said to Tang Xiao and Tang San: "In the future, you must not be as decadent as your father, okay, I'll leave first, and I'll pick you up in three days." ”

With that, Old Jack left the blacksmith in a rage.

"Daddy." Tang San shouted.

"Huh?" Tang Hao glanced at him coldly, seeing the chill in his father's eyes, Tang San had to swallow back what he wanted to say. He bowed his head and went back to his room to continue the struggle for the ten thousand strokes.

"Dad, that ......" Tang Xiao also spoke.

"What are you going to say?" The chill in Tang Hao's eyes disappeared by half a point, after all, he liked this eldest son more.

"That...... Ten thousand, I finished forging in the morning. Tang Xiao said.

"What! ⊙?? ⊙? Tang Hao thought to himself: So fast? Faster than the junior? I haven't seen him forge it.

"Bring it to me."

Tang Xiao brought a piece of iron, and to his surprise, the shape was extremely regular, only the size of a fist, and it was shiny black.

"Well, yes, good." Tang Hao rarely praised it once.

When night fell, after dinner, Tang Hao wiped his mouth and habitually walked outside, for him, this was a routine, going out to drink. Drink the worst quality ale.

Suddenly.

"Dad. Wait a minute. Tang San didn't have time to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, so he stopped Tang Hao first.

"What for?" Tang Hao glared at him impatiently, although Tang Hao had never beaten Tang San, but for some reason, Tang Tian was a little afraid of this father all his life. For him who is a human being in two lives, he can't change this feeling.

"Those 10,000 strokes, I have also finished forging." Tang San said.

"Oh?" The light in Tang Hao's eyes seemed to brighten up a little, "Show it to me." ”

"Okay." Tang San quickly ran back to his room, and soon, he ran out with an iron block in his hand.

The whole body of the iron block is jet black, although the shape is irregular, but it seems that every section is extremely bright, and the black light is faintly visible. The entire piece of iron was about the size of one of the four people in the original iron lump, and Tang San didn't feel it difficult to carry Xuantian Gong to hold it.

Tang Hao grabbed the jet-black iron in his hand, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, "Now do you understand what I said?" ”

Tang San nodded, "Hundred refinements into steel, no matter how bad the quality of the metal is, it will become high-quality after continuous forging and purification." Dad, are you trying to tell me this? ”

Tang Hao found that his two sons seemed to have brought him a lot of surprise these days, and returned the iron to him, "Then you can continue." When you forge it into a fist, show it to me. With that, he turned and walked out of the house.

According to what he originally said, forging that piece of iron with ten thousand strokes could teach Tang San to forge, but now he seemed to have broken his promise. But Tang San didn't care about this, he just thought about what Tang Hao said.

"The size of a fist?" Can such a large piece of iron really be forged to the size of a fist? Although it was only a quarter of its original volume, Tang San knew very well that as the continuous forging progressed, the density of the iron pieces became more and more dense, and it became more difficult to shrink the volume. Forging it to the size of a fist is not something that can be done with 10,000 strokes.

Hundred refining into steel, so what is ten thousand refinement? A shining light flashed in Tang San's eyes, and with a slight mistake under his feet, his body had already deftly burrowed into his room. Soon, the sound of clanging knocks sounded again in the blacksmith's shop.

Three days passed quickly, Tang Xiao and Tang San would still go to the top of the mountain every morning to do his routine homework, and after returning home, in addition to Tang San's cooking, it was forging.

Tang San was able to compete with that piece of pig iron. The beating speed is increasing every day. Xuantian Gong helped him quickly recover his strength and was able to maintain this continuous forging process.

"Xiaoxiao, Xiaosan, grandpa is here to pick you up." Old Jack came to the blacksmith shop on time, perhaps because he was bored with Tang Hao, this time he didn't even go in, only called Tang Xiao and Tang San outside.

Tang Xiao and Tang San glanced at their father, who had just had breakfast. Tang Hao said coldly: "Go ahead." Don't delay cooking at noon. ”

"Oh," Tang San responded, "Got it." ”

Tang Xiao and Tang San walked out.
