Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

When he was "reborn," he vaguely heard Tang Hao calling out "Ah Yin."

At first, he thought he had been born during a difficult labor, and that his mother had passed away right after his birth.

A hundred-thousand-year spirit beast taking human form?

Could it be… Could Tang San be the son of a spirit beast?

Tang San's rebirth was not a typical reincarnation but more like a soul takeover—occupying the body of the "native" Tang San. It was, in essence, a possession like many Protagonists.

"You possess an exceptionally dense Blue Silver Emperor bloodline."

This body, as the offspring of the Blue Silver Emperor, naturally inherited such a concentrated bloodline.

Instances like Yu Xiaogang's are incredibly rare on the Douluo Continent.

Perhaps Yu Xiaogang's case was due to his extreme "purity," which allowed him to awaken part of the Golden Holy Dragon bloodline. However, because of his own lack of talent, he couldn't achieve full awakening.

If even Mu En, as Yu Xiaogang's descendant, could withstand the Light Holy Dragon martial soul, it proves that it isn't impossible to bear such a martial soul. The issue lies solely in the individual. (Mu En is a character of Sl2)

"This Ah Yin likely shares some connection with you. Otherwise, there's no way you could possess such a bloodline."

As soon as Zhongli finished speaking, everyone looked at Tang San differently!

Could it be that Tang San was also a spirit beast in human form?

Seeing their expressions, Tang San understood their thoughts clearly and immediately said, "I am a twin martial soul wielder, with my second martial soul being the world's number one tool martial soul—the Clear Sky Hammer!"

"How could I possibly be a spirit beast in human form?"

After saying this, Tang San even released his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

If he didn't clarify, the people present might have been tempted to take a risk, to test whether Tang San was truly a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast.

After all, it was just a test. If Tang San really were a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, they would profit greatly.

If not, and Tang San died instead, what did it matter to them?

Seeing the Clear Sky Hammer, the crowd finally calmed down.

That's right—Tang San was a twin martial soul wielder, and his second martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer. How could he be a spirit beast in human form?

After all, what kind of spirit beast could possess two martial souls upon transforming?

At this moment, Tang San had already come to a conclusion. He truly was the child of a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast!

Tang Hao's "Ah Yin" and Zhongli's mention of a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor—both the name and the bloodline matched perfectly.

It was hard not to believe that he was the son of a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast.

But Tang San couldn't understand: why would Tang Hao be with a Blue Silver Grass… No, it should be said, with the Blue Silver Emperor?

This… This was simply preposterous!

Xiao Wu, Tang Hao, Ah Yin: "..."

Honestly, they couldn't deny it.

Their Tang family bloodline wasn't exactly normal—Blue Silver Grass, rabbits, dragons, sharks…

With such conditions, couldn't they have found a human partner?

Or was this some ancestral habit passed down through generations?

Did they instinctively keep a spirit ring or spirit bone close at hand, so that in case of danger, it could serve as an emergency breakthrough tool?

It seemed that way. Ah Yin was like this, Xiao Wu was like this, and so was the Auspicious Beast…

Once the crowd fell silent, Zhongli continued,

"To my knowledge, after taking human form, Ah Yin walked the continent in a female body."

"She was the absolute Emperor among the Blue Silver Grass species and, as a female, could be called the Blue Silver Empress."

"Due to the rules of the Douluo Continent, within the Blue Silver Grass clan, there can only ever be one Blue Silver Emperor at any given time."

"So, Tang San, it is highly likely that you are the child of this Blue Silver Empress."

"Your bloodline could perhaps be called the Blue Silver Crown Prince."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Blue Silver Grass, in their minds, was nothing more than a ubiquitous weed.

And the Blue Silver Grass martial soul was the epitome of a useless martial soul.

Yet, Zhongli's words elevated this species to a status they could hardly fathom!

Rules of the Douluo Continent?

Only one ruler at a time!

This title was terrifyingly prestigious!

"Blue Silver Empress… Blue Silver Crown Prince?"

Tang San muttered to himself, his entire being in a daze.

Not only was he the son of the Clear Sky Douluo, but he was also the Crown Prince of the Blue Silver Grass clan?

Did this mean that he was never a weakling from the start?

Suddenly, as if realizing something, Tang San furrowed his brow and looked at Zhongli in confusion.

This Lord had spoken at length, but what did all this "nonsense" have to do with awakening his bloodline or evolving his martial soul?

"Your Grace," Tang San finally interrupted, "even if I am the Blue Silver Crown Prince, what does that have to do with my martial soul evolution or awakening my bloodline?"

"Tracing the origin," Zhongli replied calmly, his tone measured and deliberate.

"Tracing the origin?"

"Exactly. Only by understanding your origin can you properly plan the direction of acquiring spirit rings."

"You possess the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline. If you had absorbed plant-type spirit rings from the very first one, your Blue Silver Emperor bloodline would likely have already awakened by now."

"Tang San, haven't you noticed that your Blue Silver Grass martial soul has been feeling increasingly feeble?"

Hearing this, Tang San's eyes widened in shock!

Ever since absorbing his fourth spirit ring, Tang San had faintly felt a sense of fragmentation in his martial soul. It was as though the martial soul was struggling to bear the amplification brought by the spirit rings.

Among his four spirit rings, only the second one came from a plant-type spirit beast, the Ghost Vine.

"Thud!"

Tang San dropped to his knees without warning, kowtowing to Zhongli three times!

Of course, one of his legs still remained firmly planted on the ground.

"Please, Lord, save me!"

Even if Tang San hadn't begged for Zhongli's help, Tang Hao would likely have taken him to the Blue Silver King in due time for a smooth second awakening of his martial soul.

"Absorbing animal-type spirit rings may have significantly strengthened your Blue Silver Grass martial soul, but it has also gradually led it away from its essence."

"If this continues, your first martial soul may eventually…"

Zhongli didn't finish his sentence.

With Tang San's immense luck, under normal circumstances, even if he continued down this misguided path, he would likely face no catastrophic consequences.

Of course, this assumed the absence of Tang San's unparalleled luck and the intervention of the Blue Silver King.

Without those factors, continuing down this path without awakening his bloodline would essentially render his first martial soul useless.

Tang San's body trembled at those words. He instinctively turned his gaze toward Yu Xiaogang, who was lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back in unconsciousness.

"Yu Xiaogang!!"

Tang San gritted his teeth as he spat the name out.

At this moment, his rage was uncontrollable.

Had it not been for Yu Xiaogang's deception, Tang San's future could have been utterly ruined.

Yu Xiaogang, in his unconscious state, was blissfully unaware of Tang San's fury.

Even if he had heard, he might have found some perverse satisfaction in it.

'Serves you right!'

Too bad Yu Xiaogang couldn't witness this scene himself.

Ruining someone's future is akin to killing their parents.

What Yu Xiaogang had done was no different from murdering both Ah Yin and Tang Hao.

No, it was worse!

Because this affected Tang San directly, its impact was far greater!

Xiao Wu, witnessing this, was startled and rushed to comfort Tang San, urging him to calm down.

At that moment, Xiao Wu resembled a frightened rabbit, her emotions barely concealed.

She was doing her best to hide her feelings, terrified that her own identity might be discovered by the others.
