Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

呲——

With bloodshot eyes, Ao Yin held the Panlong Staff in one hand and approached the temporarily unconscious Tang San step by step, the end of the staff dragging on the ground and emitting sparks.

"Darkness—Holy—"

Just as Ao Yin activated his twin martial souls, a deep voice rang out!

"That's enough!"

The voice, seemingly ordinary, carried a powerful impact on the soul, instantly bringing Ao Yin back to his senses from his murderous intent.

"That voice...could it be...?"

Amidst the confusion, a man dressed in a blacksmith's brown robe, with disheveled hair and a burly, vagrant-like appearance, reeking of alcohol, walked into the hall.

Ao Yin's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Tang Hao!"

How could he not recognize that this person was Tang San's father, Tang Hao? Don't be fooled by his drunken appearance at the moment; he is actually a titled Douluo with the name Haotian. If you really offend him, even if you are the Pope of the Spirit Hall, he will smash you to pieces on the spot!

When Village Chief Jack anxiously found him, he heard that Tang San had awakened his martial soul, but he still didn't care. However, a strong fluctuation of soul power came from afar. It was the martial soul branch hall of Holy Soul Village where the martial soul had awakened. That's when he came out of curiosity and just happened to see this scene.

Ao Yin's martial soul was extremely special. Although it was a type of mutated staff martial soul, a faint dark and holy aura emanated from it with every move. Even Tang Hao, who was extremely knowledgeable, had never seen such a martial soul before.

Perhaps infected by this aura, the child became like a demon, his killing intent soaring, wanting to kill Tang San.

But Tang Hao wouldn't allow it. With a soft snort, he interrupted Ao Yin, bringing him back to his senses!

Of course, Ao Yin was not possessed by the influence of the martial spirit, but rather lost control due to the surge of old and new grudges.

Seeing Tang Hao arrive, he realized that he had acted somewhat rashly.

If Tang San is really killed here, he will end his journey on Douluo Continent under Tang Hao's wrath.

"Hmph! Tang Hao, I almost died at your son's hands yesterday. That blow just now was revenge for yesterday!"

As the saying goes, if a child is not taught, it is the father's fault!

Even knowing that Tang Hao was the Haotian Douluo who was hiding his strength, Ao Yin showed him no courtesy whatsoever.

Just then, Village Chief Jack rushed over, panting, and said, "Tang Hao, you really need to discipline your son!"

"If Xiao Ao hadn't been lucky yesterday, he would have died long ago."

"Today's situation is no one's fault but theirs!"

Fortunately, Village Chief Jack is a reasonable person. He explained the ins and outs of the conflict clearly and did not take Tang San's side.

Even Tang Hao felt guilty after hearing this. He glanced at Tang San, who had been beaten unconscious and vomiting blood, and sighed deeply, muttering to himself, "Ah Yin, I'm not only an incompetent husband, but also a failure as a father!"

He didn't expect that, because of that incident, he had been drinking heavily all these years and had indeed neglected to discipline Tang San.

Thinking of this, Tang Hao walked up to the unconscious Tang San, placed his rough hand on his shoulder, and silently transferred an extremely pure soul power into him.

In the blink of an eye, Tang San, who had been struck by a staff and suffered internal injuries, recovered from most of his injuries and slowly woke up!

"dad!"

Tang San was overjoyed to see his father, who had been drinking heavily all day, suddenly appear in front of him.

But soon he saw Ao Yin, the one who had injured him, and immediately complained, "Dad, he's the one who hurt me! You have to avenge me..."

Snapped!

However, before Tang San could finish speaking, Tang Hao slapped him across the face.

"Shut up! If you were kind to everyone, why would Xiao Ao treat you like this?"

Although Tang Hao used alcohol to numb himself, he had stayed in Holy Soul Village for so long that he knew Ao Yin's character to some extent; Ao Yin had been kind-hearted since childhood.

If it weren't for the mistress doing such a terrible thing to him, Ao Yin would never be like this today, as if he's become a completely different person!

Tang San felt a burning sensation on his face, his nose stung, and two lines of tears involuntarily streamed down his face, but he did not realize what he had done wrong.

Instead, his hatred for Ao Yin intensified, but he quickly concealed it well.

After reprimanding Tang San, Tang Hao stood up again, walked to Ao Yin, and said in a low, gentle voice, "It was Tang San's fault before. I apologize to you on his behalf!"

hiss--

Ao Yin gasped. A titled Douluo was actually apologizing to him?

With such a good father, Tang San, you really don't deserve it!

Ao Yin sheathed his Dragon-Coiling Staff, waved past Tang Hao, and walked up to the disheveled Tang San, mockingly saying, "Tang San, even with a chance, you're useless!"

"you!"

Tang San was so angry that his face turned red from being mocked so closely.

But a gentleman knows when to yield and when to stand firm. He covered his face and said, "This time, it was my skill that made me lose; I, Tang San, was inferior!"

"I'll definitely win it back someday!"

Tang San spoke the second half of the sentence almost through gritted teeth, word by word.

"Hahaha, Village Chief Jack, you heard it too, Tang San has admitted defeat!"

"So, this year's only work-study spot for Notting Academy in Holy Soul Village is mine, right?"

Ao Yin was in a good mood and asked Village Chief Jack with a smile.

Village Chief Jack was also quite helpless. This kid clearly had a token that granted him a direct entry to the Spirit Hall Academy, but he didn't use it and insisted on having the ordinary academy's spot that Jack had.

There is only one spot available at Notting Academy. Although Tang San and Ao Yin awakened their martial souls at the same time, and their soul power is the extremely rare innate level nine soul power and innate full soul power, one is a useless Blue Silver Grass martial soul and the other is a staff martial soul. Even if it is mutated, it is still much stronger than the former.

In addition, Tang San lost the fight just now!

"It's yours, it's yours!"

"Three months from now is the start of the academy's term, and Grandpa will personally take you to school!" Village Chief Jack said with a smile.

"Okay! Thank you, village chief!"

Ao Yin was overjoyed to have successfully snatched the small work-study student spot.

On the other side, the village chief walked up to Tang Hao and sighed, "Tang Hao, if you really care about Xiao San, change your drinking habit, earn more money, and if there are any vacant work-study spots in the village next year, send Xiao San to college for some serious training!"

Although Holy Soul Village conducts martial soul awakening for children every year, it is extremely rare for a child to awaken two martial souls and have soul power at the same time, as this year. More often, the children have useless martial souls without soul power.

The situation of unfilled work-study student positions occurs almost every year!

Next year?

It doesn't matter anymore. If you're slow on one step, you'll be slow on every step!

A year is a long time, and while Xiao Wu is still young and inexperienced, she can do a lot of things!

Even if Tang San gets a work-study spot at Notting Academy next year, by the time he arrives at the academy, there won't be anything left for him to do!

Despite the village chief's advice, Tang Hao left on his own, saying, "Xiao San, go back and cook for me!"

Village Chief Jack sighed and said, "Little San, go back and have a good talk with your father!"

Tang San was also very frustrated. He didn't know the reason why his father had been poor for so many years, but he longed for the outside world.

On his way home, Tang San was deep in thought.

In particular, the expression on Ao Yin's face when he humiliated him was still vivid in his mind!

"I, Tang San, will repay this grudge tenfold!"

"next year?"

"No! I'm going to college this year for further studies!"
