We must grasp both aspects firmly.

Xiang Yang and Tang San are different.

Perhaps Tang San does possess some talent. He is a genius at cultivating Tang Sect techniques, and his talent in making hidden weapons is unmatched by anyone else in the Tang Sect.

While Xiang Yang possessed some intelligence, his strength lay primarily in his solid foundation in physics, grounded in a materialistic worldview from his previous life, and in some materialistic ideas.

This makes Xiang Yang want to know not only what happened, but also why it happened.

Only when he understands everything will his cultivation speed and abilities improve at the fastest rate.

However, Xiang Yang has only just entered the world of Soul Masters, and he only has a superficial understanding of many Soul Masters, Soul Beasts, and Soul Skills.

All he had was some understanding of the Douluo Continent from his previous life, a macro-level knowledge of certain established events.

As for the more detailed, micro-level aspects, he still needs to do his own research.

For example, what exactly is soul power?

What is the composition of soul power?

Why can soul power have all sorts of creations, forms, and abilities?

Once he understands these things, he will be confident that he will be invincible.

Therefore, Xiang Yang prepared two paths for himself. One was to follow Tang San step by step, eat immortal herbs, participate in the divine examination, inherit a divine position, and become a god king.

The other path is to research martial spirits and soul power, become an all-knowing being, and then condense a god-king level position.

Neither path is inherently easier than the other, but both require Xiang Yang to take them.

We must grasp both aspects firmly.

These two paths are not in conflict, but rather complement each other.

Even if Xiang Yang can only inherit the position of a first-level god, with enough knowledge, he may be able to elevate his godhood to the level of a god-king.

After figuring things out, Xiang Yang couldn't wait to run home, take out an unused ledger, and start writing down whatever came to mind.

First, what is soul power?

Second, how does soul power change?

Third, what is the function of soul power?

Fourth, how is a martial spirit formed?

Fifth, what is the essential difference between Martial Souls and Soul Beasts?

6. How are soul beasts born?

7. How are Soul Masters born?

8. Is it possible to do it without using soul power?

9. What is the essence of the Sun-Chasing Bow? How does one cultivate it?

……

Xiang Yang wrote a long and detailed explanation, determined to understand these fundamentals so that he could hope to become stronger than others.

Even if you can't fully understand it, you should at least get a general idea.

However, Xiang Yang still needs to make some preparations before he can conduct the research.

For example, various books from the Douluo Continent series, and instruments such as microscopes specifically for studying microscopic matter.

Therefore, there is not much that Xiang Yang can study at present.

He could only examine his own Sunbow first.

……

Meanwhile, at Tang San's home.

When Tang San returned home, he saw Tang Hao lying on the bed, completely drunk.

"Dad, I'm home."

Tang San looked delighted, wanting to tell Tang Hao the good news about his innate full soul power in order to get Tang Hao's attention.

However, Tang Hao pretended not to hear anything and did not respond to Tang San.

Left with no other choice, Tang San had to reveal his martial soul.

"Dad, I've awakened the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, and I even have innate full soul power."

The moment Tang San finished speaking, Tang Hao suddenly woke up, looked at Tang San in disbelief, and hugged Tang San tightly.

"You're telling the truth, mistress!"

"Um."

Tang San was also a little scared by Tang Hao's sudden agitation, as he had never seen Tang Hao like this before.

"OK!"

"You mistress, you truly are my son."

Tang Hao's behavior at this time is completely different from that in the original work, where he was no longer very concerned about Tang San.

He could accept it if Tang San could live a peaceful and stable life.

However, in this life, Tang San showed some genius traits from a young age because of his contact with Xiang Yang, which is why Tang Hao paid special attention to Tang San.

Tang Hao also felt that Tang San might awaken the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, so he followed him to the place outside the small wooden house.

Fortunately, Tang San was quite cautious and did not reveal his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

At this moment, Tang San saw the surprise in Tang Hao's eyes and suddenly felt an impulse.

"Dad, I still have a martial spirit!"

Soon, Tang San summoned the Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer.

At this moment, Tang Hao saw such a familiar scene and was already in tears.

"Ah Yin, look, this is our son, our son is a genius."

Tang Hao's face was full of emotion, and his weathered face was now filled with tenderness.

After a short while, Tang Hao finally realized what was happening and uttered a classic line to Tang San.

"Hey, you need to use your hammer to protect your grass."

"And don't let anyone know you have two martial souls."

Tang Hao gave instructions, and Tang San readily agreed.

"But Dad, Xiang Yang already knows about both of my martial spirits."

Tang San dared not hide anything from Tang Hao and told him about it.

"Let's just leave Xiao Yang alone, as long as he doesn't tell anyone. Remember, you absolutely cannot let anyone else know that you have another martial soul."

Tang Hao knew that Xiang Yang had innate full soul power, and he regarded Xiang Yang as a good junior and a good brother that Tang San could trust.

Even if something unexpected happens, Tang Hao still has a chance to make corrections.

Therefore, Tang Hao has no intention of taking action against Xiang Yang for the time being.

"All right."

Tang San nodded obediently.

"Next, I will teach you how to forge, Xiao San, you must remember this."

Seeing this, Tang Hao smiled with satisfaction and took the initiative to teach the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

……

Time flies, and in no time at all, Old Jack rushed over and arrived at Xiang Yang's house.

In order to allow Xiang Yang and Tang San to enroll in Notting City's Junior Soul Master Academy, Old Jack made a special trip to other villages, trying to get a free work-study student spot.

Unfortunately, the other villages had already given their work-study spots to a girl and were unwilling to give them to Holy Soul Village.

Helpless, Old Jack could only approach Xiang Yang's family and Tang San's family to discuss how to allocate the work-study student quotas.

At Xiang Yang's doorstep, Liu Qingmei, Xiang Yang, Tang Hao, and Tang San stood together in front of Old Jack.

Old Jack has already explained the situation clearly, and he just wants to ask how the two families plan to divide the work-study student quota.

"Give it to the mistress's family. My son, Xiaoyang, can attend school normally."

Liu Qingmei had no intention of arguing. Not to mention that her family was a noble Soul Master family, they didn't lack the tuition fees for enrollment.

Furthermore, in Liu Qingmei's heart, Xiang Yang and Tang San were sworn brothers, so out of love for Xiang Yang, it was only right that she would take care of Tang San a little.

Not to mention, this is just a worthless work-study student spot.

Tang Hao didn't care about this at all, and continued to drink the cheap liquor in front of outsiders, looking like he didn't want to get involved.

Xiang Yang didn't care and nodded: "I'll listen to Mom."

Tang San looked at Xiang Yang with eyes full of gratitude: "Brother Xiang Yang, Aunt Liu, thank you."

"I will always remember the mistress."

Hearing Tang San's words, Xiang Yang's lips twitched slightly. If Tang San wasn't truly harmless now, he wouldn't want Tang San to repay any debts of gratitude.

Not to mention that this is nothing in itself.

Soon, the quota for work-study students was finalized, and Old Jack left satisfied.
