Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 129 Since you've already left, why are you coming back now?
"Teacher Lin Mu, is this person really Tang San?"

On the training field, Yu Tianheng stared straight at the handsome young man in front of him, his tone filled with shock and doubt.

Previously, although Tang San was stronger and more talented than him, his appearance was plain, which was the only consolation in his heart.

Now even his looks are ranked higher than his, how can he accept this?

"Here's what happened: I took him to the second awakening ceremony these past few days, and his appearance has changed as a result."

Lin Mu spoke calmly, as if he were merely describing a trivial matter.

At the same time, Lin Mu paid close attention to Qian Renxue's reaction, only to find that she was completely calm and not at all focused on Tang San, seemingly unconcerned about the changes in Tang San's appearance.

This suggests that Qian Renxue most likely never met A Yin, and even if she had seen the portrait, she would have forgotten it after so many years.

"Second awakening?"

Apart from Qian Renxue, everyone else looked at Lin Mu with confusion, as they had never heard of a martial soul being able to awaken a second time.

"Gentlemen, this should at least prove my identity, right?"

Seeing that everyone still had some doubts, Tang San released his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul. The vines with golden patterns grew rapidly and spread to everyone's feet in the blink of an eye.

Compared to the previous Blue Silver Grass, its appearance hasn't changed much, but you can feel that the martial soul is more powerful.

At this moment, everyone finally believed Tang San's identity, since it was almost impossible to fake a martial soul.

"You really are Tang San! You've become so handsome, even more so than the captain!"

Yu Feng exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, several black lines appeared on Yu Tianheng's forehead. He was already feeling a bit uncomfortable, and these words were like a series of sharp blows.

"elder brother!"

After confirming her identity, Xiao Wu immediately threw herself into Tang San's arms.

But the next second, she left Tang San's embrace, turned her head away with a dissatisfied look, and pouted, saying, "You actually left me all alone. I don't want to talk to you anymore."

“Xiao Wu, I’ve been mostly asleep these past few days. Even if you come with us, you can only watch from the sidelines.”

Tang San was already used to Xiao Wu's tantrums and explained helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's expression softened a bit, and she crossed her arms and said, "That's more like it."

Now that he has awakened for the second time, Tang San's appearance has reached the top level, and he and Xiao Wu look like a perfect match.

However, Tang San looks at least sixteen years old now, while Xiao Wu is still quite young.

Just then, Yu Tianheng couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "Tang San, what level of soul power do you have now?"

Although he didn't know what a second awakening was, he could sense that Tang San had undergone a tremendous transformation.

This transformation obviously couldn't just change appearance and temperament; it most likely also increased soul power, and even enhanced talent.

Faced with Yu Tianheng's question, Tang San couldn't help but look at Lin Mu. After obtaining his master's permission, he truthfully replied, "My soul power has reached level forty-nine."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

This second awakening is simply incredible!
Not only did it enhance the quality of the martial soul, it also increased the soul power by a full four levels, which is simply enviable.

Having witnessed the effects of the second awakening, Yu Tianheng was immediately tempted and hurriedly looked up at Lin Mu, saying, "Teacher Lin Mu, can we have a second awakening?"

Not only him, but everyone else also turned to look at Lin Mu.

Especially for Yu Feng and Oslo, neither of their martial souls are top-tier. If they could undergo a second awakening, their future potential would be greatly increased. As for Qian Renxue, Ye Lingling, and Xiao Wu, they weren't very interested, as their martial souls didn't need to evolve.

"Secondary awakening is only available to specific martial souls, and it has extremely limited restrictions, so don't even think about it."

Lin Mu said with absolute certainty.

In his view, only a flawed martial soul can undergo a second awakening, and it requires external stimulation.

For example, Tang San himself possessed the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, but he still needed countless Blue Silver Grasses to contribute energy in order to complete his second awakening.

For example, Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can be evolved into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda with the help of the Qiluo Tulip.

Just as everyone was feeling disappointed, Lin Mu changed the subject and continued:
"However, although you cannot awaken a second time, you can improve the quality of your martial soul by absorbing soul rings. Take Yu Tianheng for example, if he could absorb a true dragon soul ring with the lightning attribute, the quality of his martial soul would definitely improve significantly."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng couldn't help but let out a wry smile.

It sounds simple, but it's incredibly difficult to actually hunt down a true dragon's soul ring. Just finding a true dragon is already a challenge, and hunting down a true dragon that's over ten thousand years old would probably require his grandfather to do it himself.

It was precisely because of the extreme difficulty in obtaining a true dragon soul ring that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan had to settle for second best and choose to absorb the soul rings of sub-dragon soul beasts.

From a certain perspective, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Soul Master's absorption of the spirit rings from sub-dragon spirit beasts actually diluted the quality of his martial soul.

"Alright, let's leave this topic at that. For you, the most important thing is to focus on your cultivation."

Lin Mu said in an unquestionable manner.

Next, he led everyone in their usual training session, which lasted until evening.

After training, Qian Renxue grabbed Lin Mu's hand and forcibly took him away without giving him a chance to refuse.

On the other side, Tang San and Xiao Wu had just left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and were about to go to the night market.

"Shhh!!"

Suddenly, a pebble shot out at extremely high speed, aiming precisely at Tang San's right shoulder.

Tang San immediately sensed the danger, abruptly stopped, and dodged the unexpected pebble.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes flashed with purple light and precisely locked onto a rooftop not far away, where a man in a gray robe was standing and looking in his direction.

Without a doubt, this person threw the stone.

Seeing that Tang San hadn't caught up yet, Xiao Wu immediately stopped and turned to look at him, only to see that he looked thoughtful.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiao Wu, wait for me a moment."

Before Xiao Wu could respond, Tang San had already used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps and disappeared from the street in the blink of an eye.

Before long, Tang San followed the gray-robed man through several streets and arrived at a relatively secluded alley.

"What is your purpose in leading me here?"

Looking at the gray-robed man who had stopped in front of him, Tang San's eyes flashed, revealing a hint of seriousness.

For some reason, this person gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

At this moment, the gray-robed man slowly turned around, lifted the hood covering his face, and revealed a face full of vicissitudes.

Upon seeing the person's face clearly, Tang San's pupils dilated for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "Since you've already left, why are you coming back now?"
