Old Jack is happy, Jerry is depressed

Chapter 7 Old Jack is happy, Jerry is depressed

Old Jack had been waiting outside for Su Yuntao to come out. Seeing Su Yuntao emerge, he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Soul Master, how many children have awakened their soul power this year?"

"There are two. One is named Tang San, who has full innate soul power, but unfortunately his martial soul is the Blue Silver Grass, a useless martial soul."

"And there's another one, your grandson. His martial soul is the same as yours—a carrot. He has innate half-level soul power. As long as you have soul power, you can cultivate. Congratulations! I have to go to the next village later, so I'll be going now." After saying that, Su Yuntao hurriedly left.

"Great! Finally, someone in my family has soul power."

"Little Jerry, you must work hard in your cultivation in the future. You are the first in our family to have soul power. Grandpa believes that you will definitely become a soul master."

Jerry really wanted to say, "Grandpa, you're getting ahead of yourself!", but seeing Grandpa Jack's shining eyes, Jerry didn't say anything.

Grandpa probably didn't know how difficult it was to cultivate half-level innate soul power. The reason Yu Xiaogang was able to cultivate to level 29 was because the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan had a lot of resources. As a child from a village, I didn't have any resources, and it was uncertain whether I could even reach level 10 in this lifetime.

Seeing the hopeful expression on Old Jack's face, a strange feeling stirred within him: "Grandpa, I will definitely work hard to cultivate."

"Good boy, Xiao San, Jerry, I'll personally take you both to Notting Academy in three months. You two grew up together, so you must support each other from now on!"

Hearing his grandfather say that, Jerry felt even more upset.

Tang San clearly has a cultivation technique that allows him to develop innate soul power, but he won't give it to me.

I thought my martial soul awakening would bring a system, but there was nothing. I'm still stuck with a carrot with half-level innate soul power. This is too difficult!

I can't let Grandpa Jack down. I still have my own advantages. I know the plot of what will happen next: the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and the Immortal Herb.

By the way, the Immortal Herb can change my talent. How do I get the Immortal Herb?

If I went there now, I'd probably be dead as soon as I entered the Sunset Forest. I'll wait until Tang San gets the immortal herb and give me one. I looked at Tang San and realized I was overthinking it.

As their cultivation levels diverge, Jerry will likely drift further and further apart from Tang San, a fact that he can clearly see.

This is so tough for me! Other transmigrators have all sorts of powerful martial spirits and live it up, why am I so miserable?! I only know the plot, but I can't get involved at all, I don't even have the strength to steal anything!

Sigh, I'll figure something out later! I'll go to the academy to study first.

Back home, he summoned his martial spirit, a fresh carrot with a few leaves on it, looking exactly like Old Jack's.

However, there is a slight difference; a faint trace of soul power can be sensed.

This wisp of soul power seems to have activated the martial soul. The martial soul is attracting soul power from the air, and although it's slow, it's still perceptible!

After a martial soul awakens, it will automatically absorb soul power from the air.

The higher one's innate soul power, the faster one can absorb it. In addition, meditation can accelerate the absorption of soul power. As one gets older, the absorption of soul power by the martial soul will slow down. This is why the period before the age of 30 is the golden age for martial soul cultivation.

Looking at the carrot in front of him, he took it in his hand and tried to see how it tasted different from his grandfather's. He took a bite and found it to be crisp, sweet, and slightly helpful in restoring his strength. This was an effect that Old Jack's martial soul did not have!

It seems to be very filling; after eating half of it, I already felt quite full, but it didn't have any other effects.

Forget it, I'll skip the experiment and wait until I get to the college to learn about the professional knowledge first.

Old Jack returned that evening, initially in high spirits, and told everyone in the village that two people had awakened to have soul power this year.

Later, when they arrived at Tang Hao's house, they returned in a huff.

After asking around, Jerry realized that he and Tang Hao had argued again. Tang Hao wouldn't let Xiao San cultivate, but Jerry didn't say anything. He knew that Tang Hao would change his mind the next day after he found out that Tang San had twin martial souls.

Blacksmith's Village

"Dad, does that mean you agree to let me cultivate?" Tang San said happily.

"Yes, remember to use your hammer to protect your Blue Silver Grass from now on," Tang Hao said.

"Okay, Dad!" Tang San answered readily.

Actually, this is what happened: the Blue Silver Grass ruptured, was burned, and frozen. The hammer was completely unharmed. It was the Blue Silver Grass that protected the hammer, Tang Hao, you've got it backwards!

"Oh, right, Dad, Jerry has soul power too!"

"Oh, this little guy is not bad. What's his situation?"

"Martial Soul: Carrot, Innate Half-Level Soul Power."

"Pfft, that's really rare! The Jack family has finally produced someone with soul power, a half-level innate soul power. I guess Old Jack will be disappointed in the future!" He said, his eyes filled with a big smile.

"Is cultivating innate half-level soul power difficult, Dad?"

"Difficult, very difficult."

"Can you help him?"

"How can I help? Talent is predetermined and cannot be changed."

Why are you thinking so much about this now?

"Can the Spirit Hall help him? But the awakened Spirit Master refused Jerry."

"The Spirit Hall, they're not stupid. They don't want half-level innate spirit power anywhere!" Tang Hao said, a hint of hatred appearing in his eyes.

Tang San was preoccupied with Jerry's problem, so he didn't notice.

"Don't overthink it, mistress. You two are destined to be from different worlds."

"I understand, Dad!"

Jerry, meanwhile, was working even harder on his physical training.

Knowing that his carrots could restore his strength, Jerry worked even harder to cultivate. Moreover, he noticed that his mental strength was gradually increasing day by day, probably due to the possession.

Jerry's mental strength was strong from the beginning, and it increased after his martial soul awakened, which is why Jerry could clearly feel it.

"Mistress, let's duel!"

"Why?"

"My training is really effective right now, and I want to beat you up, otherwise I won't have the chance to train again!"

"What makes you think you can beat me? Is it your muscular physique?"

"Judging by your physique, you're a weakling."

"I'll just say one thing: you can't catch me!"

"If you've got the guts, don't run away, stand still and fight!"

Do you think I'm stupid?

"If I thought you were stupid, would you agree to stand there and fight without running away?!"

"I can't be bothered with you. If you're so capable, catch up with me first."

Tang San has been spending a lot of time with Jerry and has been completely corrupted by him. Now he says things that are always hurtful!

Actually, Tang San really didn't want to fight Jerry. His internal energy cultivation was weaker than his external energy cultivation in the early stages, while Jerry was as strong as a calf. Standing and fighting would obviously be asking for trouble!

Tang San knew that Jerry had been practicing his punches and kicks. Before, he made a sandbag and, although Jerry didn't have much martial arts skill, he just kept hitting and kicking it hard.

Yesterday, I saw Jerry kick that sandbag to pieces. Tang San's body is still very weak. He felt a bit overwhelmed by the kick. It's just that Jerry's speed is too slow, and he can't catch up with him at all.

He just won't fight Jerry, and Jerry can't do anything about it!
