Douluo: This soul master is a big eater

Chapter 4: Chaotic Cloak

The next day.

Yun Yi carried the two fish he had caught yesterday and headed towards old Jack's house.

Soon, Yun Yi arrived at the gate of a small courtyard. Just as he was about to shout, he saw Old Jack slowly walking out of the room.

"Grandpa Jack." Yun Yi greeted him politely.

"Xiao Yi." Old Jack looked at the fish in Yun Yi's hand and couldn't help but ask, "I haven't finished eating the fish you gave me the day before yesterday. Why are you here again?"

Yun Yi said a little embarrassedly, "Grandpa Jack, I need your help with something."

Old Jack smiled slightly, patted Yun Yi's head and said, "You're welcome. Tell Grandpa if you have anything to say."

"Well... you know I've eaten a lot since I was a kid, and I'm going to Nottingham City to go to school soon. Although I can get paid as a work-study student, I eat a lot... so I'd like you to take me to Uncle Hao's house. I'm strong, and I want to learn the blacksmith's craft from Uncle Hao to support myself."

Hearing Yun Yi mention Tang Hao, Old Jack frowned slightly, then nodded slowly and said, "Yes, Xiao Yi, you should indeed master a skill to make a living, but Tang Hao..."

"Ugh……"

Old Jack sighed and continued, "It just so happens that I was also going to look for Tang Hao. Yesterday I discussed with him about Xiao San going to Notting College, but he actually disagreed! Let's go, you don't have to give this fish to grandpa, take both of them to Tang Hao..."

Yun Yi nodded and followed Old Jack obediently, feeling a little nervous.

Yun Yi thought for a long time yesterday but couldn't think of any good way to make money. After all, he was just a liberal arts student. After much thought, only Tang Hao's blacksmithing skills could make him make money. While making money, he could also exercise his strength and techniques. If he could get the random cloak, it would be perfect.

In Yun Yi's opinion, a stick and a hammer are both blunt instruments, so the skill of using a stick is quite suitable for the skill of using a cloak.

“I just don’t know if Tang Hao can give me face.” Yun Yi said silently in his heart.

Compared to Tang San, Yun Yi had no ill feelings towards Tang Hao. Although Tang Hao was not responsible for his children and sect, Yun Yi thought about the despair of seeing his beloved die in front of him, so he was not surprised at what Tang Hao did.

As for those who have turned to evil and are seeking revenge against society, there are many who do this, not to mention those who just hide in a small village and drink.

Yun Yi, who has never experienced that kind of pain, cannot empathize with others. Yun Yi does not think that he is a person of noble character, but Yun Yi will not stand on the moral high ground to criticize anything.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Yun Yi. After all, in Yun Yi's eyes, except for old Jack who has done him a favor, all others are just tools.

Soon, the old man and the young man arrived at the west end of the village. The three adobe houses were the most rudimentary in the whole village. On the roof of the house, there was a wooden sign with a diameter of about one meter, on which was painted a simple hammer. The most common meaning of a hammer in this world refers to a blacksmith.

Because it was a blacksmith shop, the doors of the adobe houses were all open. Following Old Jack in, Yun Yi could clearly feel the temperature around him rising slightly.

As soon as the two entered the door, Tang San slowly came out from the inner room, presumably because he sensed their arrival.

"Grandpa Jack, Xiaoyi, are you okay? Dad is still sleeping." Tang San said softly.

Old Jack snorted coldly. In the past, Old Jack didn't care whether Tang Hao was sleeping or not. He really hated this sloppy blacksmith. If the farm tools he forged were not very cheap, he would have kicked Tang Hao out of the village long ago.

Now, not only for Tang San, but even for Yun Yi's sake, he had to wait patiently for Tang Hao to wake up. If Tang Hao was in a good mood, the success rate of Yun Yi's request would be higher.

Old Jack sighed slightly, touched Tang San's head, and said softly, "Let's talk about it after he wakes up."

Hearing this, Tang San nodded, his gaze fell on Yun Yi, with a look of doubt in his eyes.

Yun Yi also smiled slightly, handed the two fish in his hand to Tang San, and said, "I also have something I want to ask Uncle Hao for help."

Tang San looked at the fish that Yun Yi handed over, with a hesitant look on his face.

Yun Yi also worked hard in society for many years in his previous life. He continued, "Don't worry, Xiao San. It's not a big deal. If things don't work out, I'll just treat Uncle Hao to a good meal."

Old Jack nodded and said, "Xiao San, take it. Stew the fish. When your drunkard father wakes up, he will drink a bowl of fish soup. Maybe he will agree to let you go to school."

Tang San showed interest when he heard that, and he slowly took the two fish from Yun Yi's hand, nodded slightly, and then skillfully processed the fish and stewed it.

Not long after, Tang Hao yawned, opened the door curtain, and walked out slowly.

Yun Yi looked at Tang Hao, who was sturdy but seemed extremely decadent, and felt a little happy. With Tang Hao's strength as a Titled Douluo, he should be able to hear the conversation between the few people. He was willing to show up in advance, which meant that there was still some hope.

Tang San looked at Tang Hao's surprised expression and thought to himself, "Dad probably wouldn't be up at this time of the day."

Tang Hao first saw his son, and then turned his attention to Old Jack and Yun Yi, "Old Jack, why did you bring this kid to me?"

Old Jack was about to speak, but Yun Yi slowly stepped forward, bowed slightly to Tang Hao and said, "Uncle Hao, I want to learn the blacksmith's skills from you."

Hearing this, Tang Hao cast his eyes on Yun Yi and asked curiously, "If I remember correctly, you should be the kid who has awakened his soul power like Xiao San. Why? You don't want to be a soul master, and want to be a blacksmith?"

Yun Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Hao, I was born with a huge appetite. Even if I can become a soul master, how can I support myself in the academy? Fortunately, I am very strong, so I want to learn a way to make a living from Uncle Hao."

"Oh?" Hearing the abnormality on Yun Yi's body, Tang Hao became interested. He slowly walked in front of Yun Yi and reached out his hand like a palm leaf fan to grab Yun Yi. Yun Yi did not dodge and let Tang Hao grab his arm.

Tang Hao looked at the strange look in Yun Yi's eyes and said silently in his heart, "His body is much stronger than that of ordinary children, even stronger than Xiao San..."

Then Tang Hao slowly let go of Yun Yi's arm, but did not give Yun Yi a clear answer. Instead, he looked at his son and asked, "Xiao San, yesterday you said that this boy's awakened martial spirit is an iron stick?"

Tang San nodded.

"It is rare for a weapon soul master to have a body that is even tougher than a beast soul master..."

As a Titled Douluo, Tang Hao has traveled the continent for many years and has some necessary experience. His body is different from that of an ordinary person and naturally he consumes food differently from ordinary people. Take himself for example, if he did not have the cultivation level of a Titled Douluo and his control over his body had reached an unattainable level, his food intake would be much greater than that of an ordinary person.

Yun Yi's condition is very clear. His cultivation is low and he cannot fully control his body. His food intake is different from that of ordinary people. In fact, for people with good living conditions, eating more is not a problem.

Yun Yi was delighted when he saw the strange look on Tang Hao's face. He was not surprised to be seen through by a Titled Douluo, but whether Tang Hao could think of that level depended on Yun Yi's luck.

Yun Yi knew very well that if he wanted to get something from others, he had to give something in return. As the owner of twin martial souls, he was naturally of great significance to Tang San, who also had twin martial souls. However, Yun Yi was not sure whether Tang Hao could recognize his original martial soul in the current world line with his knowledge.

"Uncle Hao?" Yun Yi looked at Tang Hao who was slightly absent-minded and called out as a reminder.

"Forget it, it's nothing more than some blacksmithing skills. Xiaosan should go to school sometime. Xiaosan is a bit withdrawn, so maybe it would be nice to have a friend." Tang Hao thought.

Tang Hao came back to his senses after hearing the shout. He looked at Yun Yi, nodded slowly, and said calmly, "You and Xiao San will start school in three months. It's only three months. Come here every afternoon. How much you can learn depends on you."

Yun Yi smiled like a child upon hearing this, nodded excitedly, then bowed slightly to Tang Hao and said, "Thank you, Uncle Hao." Old Jack on the side also smiled and was about to praise Tang Hao.

"Well...is everything okay? Don't disturb my sleep." Tang Hao said, without paying any attention to Old Jack, and went to the inner room.

Tang San felt a little embarrassed when he saw this. He scratched the back of his head and said to Old Jack, "I'm sorry, Grandpa Jack, Dad is just like this."

Old Jack also waved his hand helplessly and said, "Since Tang Hao has agreed to your going to school, then grandpa will come to pick you up when school starts."

After saying that, he didn’t want to stay any longer and said to Yun Yi, “Let’s go, Xiao Yi.”

Yun Yi nodded and said to Tang San, "Then I will go back with Grandpa Jack first. See you in the afternoon."

Tang San also nodded, "See you in the afternoon."

Soon, Yun Yi sent Old Jack back home and back to his own courtyard.

……

At noon, after Yun Yi had lunch, he couldn't wait to come to Tang San's house. In the yard, he could hear the rhythmic clinking sound of the casting hammer colliding with the iron block.

Sensing Yun Yi's arrival, Tang Hao slowly came out of the inner room, glanced at Yun Yi and said, "Follow me."

Yun Yi followed Tang Hao obediently. The clinking sound of the casting hammer colliding with the iron block was getting closer and closer.

The door curtain was lifted, and Tang Hao led Yun Yi into the forging room.

"Dad." Tang San looked at his father and the hammer in his hand stopped unconsciously.

Tang Hao gestured for him to continue, then walked aside and stood still, not saying a word, just looking at him. Yun Yi also looked straight at Tang San.

Tang San then continued to swing his hammer. At this time, his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang..., the sound of knocking continued. Tang San's young body was not proportional to the hammer in his hand, but every time he swung the hammer, it was like a tiger's wind.

As if he had made up his mind, Tang Hao said, "Stop for a moment."

Tang San put down the hammer in his hand, panted slightly, and quietly activated the Xuantian Technique in his body to adjust his breath to restore his physical strength.

Tang Hao walked up to Tang San, took the hammer from his hand, and looked at the red-hot iron on the stove. "If you hammer it like this, you won't be able to make it the size of a fist even if you spend a year."

Tang San looked up at his tall father, "Then what should I do?"

Tang Hao said coldly: "Tell me, when you swing the casting hammer to hit it, where is the first part of your body to exert force?"

Tang San thought for a while and said: "It should be the waist. Drive the back from the waist, and then drive the arms to swing the casting hammer?"

Looking at this familiar scene, Yun Yi couldn't help but interrupt, "It should be from the calf. I remember a grandfather once told me that strength comes from the ground."

Hearing this, Tang Hao glanced at Yun Yi standing beside him, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Yes, Xiaoyi is right. The power starts from the ground. If a person wants to exert all his strength, the power should not start from the waist, but from the calves." Tang Hao turned the casting hammer in his hand upside down and touched Tang San's calves with the handle of the hammer.

"Start from the two calves, and then transfer the power to the thighs, through the waist, back, and arms, and finally release it. This is a full-strength attack. The calves are the force, and the waist is the axis. Watch."

Tang Hao raised the hammer slightly, causing Tang San to step back. At the same time, he turned the hammer back, and with a low shout, he half-turned his body, clasped his feet tightly on the ground, and the two calves exposed outside the tattered trousers instantly tensed up. He was like a tiger ready to attack, exerting force on his legs, turning his waist back, and the hammer was brought back invisibly, with a loud clang, and fell heavily on the red-hot pig iron.

Yun Yi stared at Tang Hao intently, not daring to miss any of his movements. His eyes focused subconsciously, and a familiar warm current surged up from his lower dantian. At this moment, Yun Yi could even see every frame of Tang Hao's movements clearly.

"Use your calves to exert force and connect your body's strength into a whole. This is called full strength." Tang Hao returned the hammer to Tang San, "You two, come and try it."

Tang San nodded, then grasped the hammer handle with both hands, imitating Tang Hao's previous posture. Tang San stared at the red-hot iron block with his eyes, and Xuantian Gong slowly circulated, penetrating into his calves, with his feet firmly clasped on the ground.

when……

The hammer hit the iron block accurately, making a loud noise.

Watching Tang San's actions, Tang Hao did not comment, but from the flash of surprise in his eyes, Tang San obviously did better than he expected. Tang Hao did not expect that Tang San could master this method of exerting force in such a short time, although there were still some imperfections.

"Let him try." Tang Hao said lightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. Yun Yi was able to answer his questions, which showed that he had a high level of comprehension, but he didn't know how good his learning ability was.

Tang San nodded and handed the forging hammer in his hand to Yun Yi.

Yun Yi took it, but did not rush to attack. He recalled carefully, and the hammer that Tang Hao had just struck appeared clearly in Yun Yi's mind.

Then Yun Yi followed every frame in his mind, performed the movements until they were exactly the same, and then the hammer fell.

when……

A powerful force blasted out, and the iron hammer bounced back. Yun Yi imitated Tang Hao's posture and resolved the huge recoil force.

Tang Hao was staring at Yun Yi at this moment, his slightly turbid eyes revealing uncontrollable horror. With his Titled Douluo's eyesight, he could naturally see that despite the difference in height and weight, Yun Yi had actually forcibly replicated his movements. What a terrifying insight this was.

Tang San was also surprised when he saw Yun Yi hitting the iron block. Although the effect of Yun Yi's hammering was not as good as his father's, it was obviously stronger than his.

"Uncle Hao, is there something I did wrong?" Yun Yi couldn't help but ask as he looked at Tang Hao with a strange look on his face.

Hearing Yun Yi's question, Tang Hao didn't know what to say for a moment. He couldn't just tell Yun Yi that he had already learned it.

"Yes, it seems that you have a talent for iron forging, but remember not to imitate my movements deliberately. Find the feel that suits you. This is what you have to do in the next three months." Tang Hao said somewhat embarrassedly.

At this time, Tang San on the side glanced at his old father, and then set his eyes on Yun Yi. His father had never praised him, so there was a hint of hostility in Tang San's eyes when he looked at Yun Yi.

Yun Yi nodded quickly, and feeling Tang San's gaze, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill on the back of his neck.

"Is this kid a father-con?" Yun Yi secretly complained.

"Okay, you guys practice and get the work done. I'm going to sleep." Tang Hao said to the two of them, then slowly left.
