Douluo Dalu: A Great Big Brother

Chapter 8 - TWIN SPIRITS OF TWIN BROTHERS

On the way home Tang San asked jack how to get spirit rings. He has seen such rings when he hunted soul beasts with Tang Chen. He has seen a few yellow and mostly purple rings after they died but doesn't know how to acquire one. Old jack told him he doesn't know much about it but it has to do something with killing beast which is very dangerous for a commoner like him as he wasn't a spirit master.

When they reached home they found Tang Hao drunk and lying on the beach near smithy. Old jack then started to scold Tang Hao for being lazy and even not participating in his sons' special day. Tang Hao didn't seem to pay attention to his scolding which angered old jack furthermore.

Old jack then told him his sons have initiate full soul power. Tang Hao was surprised as initiate full soul power was rare and said to be a heavenly blessing. And to think his both sons have it. But he hid it quite well. Old Jack then told him there was only one spot of scholarship to the primary spirit master academy at Nuoding city. Tang Hao refused to let his either son go.

Old jack has gotten angry and said:

"What did you say? I heard it wrong."

Jack dug in his ear, taken aback staring at Tang Hao,

"You should know just how valuable this opportunity is. Even if our Holy Spirit village produced a spirit saint once upon a time, every one year we also only have one student quota. For other villages, more than two or three villages have to share one person's quota, don't you know? This is a good opportunity. Perhaps little San and Chen is capable of becoming an exalted master."

Tang Hao looked at Jack with cold eyes,

"What use is being exalted? I just know that if the leaves, no one will make me food and help me to forge tools."

Old Jack forcefully said:

"But both of them have innate full soul power, as long as they are able to obtain spirit rings, even if it's the least quality spirit ring, they are also immediately capable of becoming a spirit master. Spirit masters, you understand? Our village already has not produced a spirit master in so many years."

"This just now is your true purpose. Saying it won't do, means it won't do. You can leave."

"Tang----Hao----."

In old Jack's mind flames of fury already burned to the maximum.

Tang Hao as before had a listless expression,

"No need to be that loud, I'm not deaf yet. I said: you can go."

"Grandpa Jack, you please don't take offense. I still won't go to study spirit master abilities. Dad is right." Tang San said.

Although Jack loathed Tang Hao the most, he was still extraordinarily fond of the intelligent Tang San, and his c.h.e.s.t filled with burning fury was gradually pacified. He sighed deeply,

"Good child, grandpa isn't angry. Well then children, grandpa will leave."

Saying so, he turned around and headed out.

Jack walked to the smithy's door and stopped, turning to look in Tang Hao's direction, saying sincerely and earnestly:

"Tang Hao, all your life will come to an end like this, but little San and Chen are still young. Should you not consider giving them some means of making a living? Don't hold them back. Then at least they will not end up in the same situation as you afterward. If you change your decision come to find me, ok. There are still three months before this year's Nuoding spirit master primary academy enrollment."

As Tang San saw off old Jack, his heart had also fallen many times. After all, Su Yuntao's words of spirit rings to Tang Chen he also suddenly found why his technique was at a bottleneck, spirit rings could have some bearing on his Mysterious Heaven skill breakthrough problem. But he did not let this affect his behavior very much, he believed he still had a chance.

Unhurriedly he went back to the smithy. Tang Hao unusually had not returned to the inner room to continue sleeping on the bench.

Seeing this Tang Chen said to Tang Hao to go and rest as he will cook lunch. Tang look at them and asked whether they were feeling disappointed?

Tang San was taken aback somewhat,

"It's not important, dad. Becoming a blacksmith is also good, it can also support us."

Tang Hao slowly opened his eyes. In the center of his eyes, Tang San saw an agitated mood. Unconsciously, Tang Hao's right fist was already held tight, and his face which already appeared gray and old showed a trace of ice-cold air,

"Spirit master? What use is becoming a spirit master? Even the fiercest spirit of the most powerful spirit is of what use? Still, only a good for nothing, that's all."

Both brothers bring out their spirits. Tang Chen from left hand and Tang San from right hand. Seeing blue silver grass Tang Hao was so shocked and mix between being happy and torn apart that he didn't notice peculiarly of Tang Chen's spirit. Tang Hao got up started walking to his room and told them to not disturb him for some time. He started walking and muttering: "Blue silver grass; it really is blue silver grass. And the same as hers."

It was then Tang Chen said he also has other spirit surprising his father and brother for different reasons. Tang Hao was shocked because of twin spirits and Tang San because he also has another spirit but didn't reveal at the time of the ceremony. Tang San also said he has another spirit. Tang Hao was shocked to the core and turn fiercely his eyes were red as if he was crying moments ago. He has shocked look on his face and said: " quickly show me the other spirits."

Tang San did not open his mouth, rather like a moment ago he had raised the right hand, and he slowly raised his left hand. This time, instead of a blue light, faint black light bubbled out from the center of his palm, in a brilliant flash condensing, as a bizarre thing appeared in his hand.

That was a pitch-black hammer. The hammer handle was about half a chi in length, with a cylindrical hammerhead. It would appear to resemble a smaller version of the forging hammer, yet that hammer's pitch black surface had a peculiar light, and on the cylindrical hammerhead coiled a faint circle of a decorative pattern.

For some reason, just as the hammer appeared in the middle of Tang San's hand, all the air in the room seemed somewhat heavy, and Tang San was able to bear the weight of that little hammer could hold it, his arm was firm. But his facial expression had already become somewhat pale then got back to normal

Different from the blue silver grass which seemed not to require depleting Mysterious Heaven Skill, when this black little hammer appeared, it practically starts to suck up Tang San's own soul power. He manages to keep his grip tight on the hammer handle due to his strong body and spiritual power to counter its pressure. Though his soul power is low it was incredibly dense due to the mysterious heaven method and manual. Although it would appear that the hammer was very small, in fact, its weight surpassed that of the forging hammer by far and was nearly 150 kg.

Tang Chen also raises his right hand, but he did not have pitch-black forging hammer but looked like a war hammer similar to one his current forging and hunting hammer with fierce golden red with an 7-inch diameter and 16 inch (ca. 41 cm) long hammerhead and slightly more than half meter of black handle with scale pattern and black dragon head with azure blue eyes, it looks like dragon was coiling its tail around hammerhead. His spirit looks majestic and has a similar pattern as Tang San's indicating it's indeed clear sky hammer. The pressure around the room was multiplied. He again got feeling that his spirit was calling Tang San's spirit but this time he also got a faint feeling from Tang Hao due to differences in their ranks.

Tang Chen also kept his back straight but his face also went pale as His spirit consumed nearly all his soul power in a short period. He was able to hold it only due to his strong body which seems to have improved dramatically due to awakening. Though his soul power is also dense his hammer spirit was too domineering. He was sure he can take a 10,000-year-old spirit ring as it seems his spiritual power has also gone up. He was lacking in terms of soul power.

Tang Hao and Tang San suddenly feels the urge to kneel. Tang Hao kept straight but tang San knelt and only when the hammer in his hand Disappeared then he feels slightly better.

Tang Hao was shocked because the urge to kneel came from his spirit rather than pressure from person. He was only standing due to his strength. As there wasn't anybody in the douluo continent who can force clear sky douluo to kneel or back down. But it was surprising that this spirit can overwhelm clear sky hammer as it is known and acknowledged among the best tool spirit in the continent. He also feels instinctive as he can get benefit it his spirit touched Tang Chen's spirit.

Tang Hao told Tang Chen to retrieve his spirit and the atmosphere around the room turned normal. Tang Chen's face stating to gain some lost color. But the shocked expression on Tang Hao and Tang San's face remains. Tang San also instinctively feel to let his spirits touch the tang Chen's spirits he had similar feeling during their blue silver grass spirit, but he has thrown that feeling back in his mind due to Tang Hao's agitated and sad look. Also, because Blue silver spirit though has high quality and vitality but it itself has gentle and nourishing nature so it doesn't generate very high pressure but has a soothing and nourishing impact on the surrounding which can be easily gone undetected unless your keen attention to the surrounding. At that time he didn't pay attention to surrounding due to mood around the room but the Hammer spirit was too dominating.
