. Holy Soul Village.
On a small hill, only a hundred meters high, adjacent to Holy Soul Village ,
Tang San sat cross-legged on a rock, cultivating the *Mysterious Heaven Skill*.
Suddenly, Tang San's spine swayed, his body shivered, and he felt weak in his limbs, dizzy, as if he had lost something.
Caught off guard, Tang San tumbled off the rock, landing face-first in the mud.
It took him a while to recover.
"Ptooey!"
he spat out the dirt and bits of grass in his mouth.
For some reason, a cheeky smiling face appeared in Tang San's mind. This smiling face wasn't unfamiliar; it was the brat from the next village who had been pestering him recently, even demanding he call him "ancestor." He dusted himself off. The more Tang San thought about it, the angrier
he became
!
"That wretched brat! It must be because of his harassment a while ago that distracted me while I was cultivating the 'Mysterious Heaven Skill,' causing
me to mess up. Humph, I hope I never run into him again."
Tang San decided that next time he saw that brat, he would definitely give him a good beating.
[Ding, Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline has been stolen, his Blue Silver Grass martial soul has become ordinary Blue Silver Grass, hatred value reached: 5%, Tang San hates the host to the extreme, the host has gained 500 hatred points.]
Seeing that he had only gained 5% hatred value by stealing Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, the zuzong was very puzzled. He had already prepared himself to be thoroughly beaten by Tang San.
"System, I stole Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. Without the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass has become a useless martial soul. Even with the 'scumbag' Yu Xiaogang's theory, its power will be greatly reduced, equivalent to destroying nearly half of his talent. Why did I only attract 5% hatred?"
[Ding, because Tang San doesn't yet know he can't awaken the Blue Silver Emperor, his hatred value is low. Once Tang San realizes this, the hatred value will instantly rise to over 70%, generating murderous intent.]
"Then what is hatred value for?"
[The host can actively teleport to worlds the system has stolen by consuming hatred points.]
"I see, does that mean I can travel to countless worlds and do whatever I want! If I encounter danger in Douluo Continent, I can use hatred points to teleport to other places to escape!"
[Host, theoretically, it's possible, but the teleportation location in the main world (Douluo Continent) is random. Please use it with caution.]
"Understood! OK!"
The system notification sounded in the clan leader's mind again.
[Ding, the system detected that the host has stolen the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. Merge?] "
Of course we need to fuse, but before that, show me my personal panel."

Seeing his personal panel attributes, the zuzong rolled his eyes.
I'm really sorry to you for being trash!
"System, fuse the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline for me."
[Ding, Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline Fusion in progress]
Hmm! It should hurt a lot! But I can endure it, zuzong. Let the storm rage on!
A quarter of an hour later, the excruciating pain the zuzong had imagined did not come.
[Ding, fusion complete.]
"System, why hasn't my body changed? Wasn't it supposed to turn my hair blue, improve my figure, and make me more handsome after awakening the Blue Silver Empress?"
[Ding, host's martial soul needs awakening. Do you want to view your personal attribute panel?]
"Okay, view!"

"Haha, the Blue Silver Emperor truly lives up to its reputation as a martial soul comparable to the Clear Sky Hammer, it actually has innate full soul power.
However, it seems I'll have to lie low for another month, I'll use this time to train my body!"
He walked out of the outhouse.
Bah!
It was a thatched hut.
The zuzong's mood lightened considerably, no longer putting on a forced smile.
He changed his usual lazy attitude.
He hummed a little tune.
"The girl's feet are small and pointed, embroidered with a white jade bird. If someone tries to catch her, she'll fly away again."
He slowly arrived at the village elder Tom's house.
Freeloading?
No, you're wrong.
As the only hope of Emperor Soul Village, the flower of the motherland.
How can you call it freeloading?
You know! He is the future successor of socialism.
Country folk don't have many entertainment facilities, they go to bed very early every day, and before the sun had even set, Old Tom had already prepared dinner.
Old Tom was used to Zu Zong's uninvited arrival and shook his head with a smile.
Zu Zong's parents had died in a disaster over five years ago; of the three family members, only Zu Zong, less than two months old, survived and was found and adopted by Old Tom. It wasn't until last year, at Zu Zong's insistence, that he was allowed to live alone.
That disaster had destroyed most of the four hundred households in Emperor Soul Village.
Some died, some fled, and now only the elderly, weak, and disabled remained.
Old Tom filled Zu Zong's bowl with rice and said with a laugh, "You little rascal, finish your food and go to bed early. Remember to get up and exercise tomorrow!"
Zu Zong didn't stand on ceremony and wolfed down his food, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa Tom."
Watching Zu Zong eat like a hungry wolf, Old Tom couldn't help but recall the past.
He turned and went into the kitchen, tears welling in his eyes.
"If my grandson, Little Jerry, were still alive, he'd be about his age now!"
Of course, Zu Zong didn't hear this.
Time flies like an arrow, and
a month has passed in the blink of an eye .
Having just finished his morning run, Zu Zong leisurely enjoyed the breakfast prepared by Old Tom in the village: sweet potato porridge. Zu Zong
slurped
it down with great relish!
Old Tom glared at Zu Zong and said, "You brat, finish it quickly, I'll take you to the Spirit Hall in Holy Soul Village to awaken your Spirit!"
"Okay, Grandpa Tom!"
Zu Zong quickly picked up a piece of pickled vegetable and put it in his mouth, then finished the rest of the sweet potato porridge in one gulp.
Not long after finishing the meal, Old Tom quickly cleared away the dishes and led Zu Zong towards Holy Soul Village.
The sweet potato porridge this morning was quite good, and with the upcoming awakening of his martial soul, the clan leader, who had been lying low for a month, was in a good mood. He smiled and asked Old Tom, "Grandpa Tom! Why are we going to Holy Soul Village to awaken our martial souls? Didn't we hear that the martial soul masters come on their own?"
Old Tom replied sadly, "Times have changed. Our Imperial Soul Village declined because of a disaster more than five years ago. Many died or fled. This year, you're the only six-year-old left in the village. We felt bad troubling the martial soul masters to make a special trip, and since it's not far from Holy Soul Village, we decided to awaken our martial souls together."
The zu zong nodded, thinking to himself, "The disaster more than five years ago must have been Tang Ritian's battle against the Spirit Hall! My parents died in that disaster, and Qian Xunji, one of the culprits, is dead. So, the only one left is Tang Ritian."
Thinking this, the clan leader clenched his fists, a flash of cold light in his eyes.
Then he relaxed his fists. Until he possessed strength equal to his enemy, it was best to remain hidden!
Old Tom saw the zuzong lower his head and fall silent, assuming he was worried about not being able to awaken his soul power. So he comforted him, saying, "You brat, it doesn't matter if you can't awaken your soul power. You can just wait until I'm a hundred years old and take over as village chief of our Emperor Soul Village."
The zuzong rolled his eyes. That's it? The position, huh?!
