Diary System - Chapter 23: Tang Hao's Face-Changing
Zhu Ming continued, "This is what Yi Chen personally tested. When taking it for the first time, use relatively low-aged ones, such as those that are decades or hundreds of years old. Put a little in every meal and cook it. Combined with proper exercise, there will be no so-called side effects."
"As the body gradually adapts, you can increase the dosage, or even absorb it directly. This is the most efficient way to improve physical fitness."
As Zhu Ming explained, Zhu Zhuqing walked over to them.
Zhu Ming added, "Zhu Yun, while you haven't reached level 30 yet, you can take it during this period so that your third soul ring can be a little older."
"Father, my sister has reached level 30 soul power. She just told me," Zhu Zhuqing interjected at the right moment.
Zhu Ming was taken aback.
Zhu Zhuyun nodded helplessly. "Yes, Father. I was just chatting with Zhuqing in the room while waiting for you to come back. I wanted to tell you that I am level 30. I want to discuss when it would be appropriate to go to the Royal Soul Hunting Forest or the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings. I would like to hear your opinion."
Zhu Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Well, it's too risky to let you absorb the thousand-year-old whale glue directly now, but you can start with whale glue from several decades old. Then, I will ask the kitchen to add some thousand-year-old whale glue to your meals in the next few days. When I finish my work in a few days, I will take you to get your third soul ring in person!"
Zhu Zhuqing stayed quietly to the side, blinking her big eyes and looking at her father. Since he came back, he seemed a little different and more talkative!
Not only did Zhu Zhuqing feel this, but Zhu Zhuyun also noticed. After thinking for a while, she said, "Father, it's not appropriate for you to act like this. My second sister..." Zhu Zhuyun stopped. She had learned from the diary what her father did in the palace that day. She suspected that her father's change in attitude and behavior meant he was happy, right?
"Ahem." Zhu Ming cleared his throat twice, attempting to cover his embarrassment. Now he couldn't disclose the plan to Zhu Zhuyun. He felt a bit too excited and was losing the indifference expected of a duke! Who could understand the feelings of an old father who can only watch his three daughters grow up day by day, feeling powerless? Although Zhuyun and Zhuqing currently share a close relationship, it is temporary. Before Zhuqing awakened her martial soul, the relationship between the two sisters was quite different. Zhu Ming quickly adjusted his mood and said lightly,
"I will not favor one over the other. All three of you sisters will share equally. Well, that's all. I still have many things to do, so I'll go and get busy first."
Zhu Zhuyun watched her father's retreating figure and couldn't help but smile. It didn't seem like he was going to deal with affairs; rather, it looked like he was running away.
But she was used to it. Her father had a certain hypocrisy; he cared about the three sisters behind their backs but, because of the system's existence, couldn't show closeness to anyone. Otherwise, it would certainly cause dissatisfaction among the other two, which was very difficult to manage.
Zhu Zhuyun then gently touched Zhu Zhuqing's head. If Zhuqing were to take whale glue now, her first soul ring would probably be more than six or seven hundred years old.
At this moment, the diary in front of them continued.
—
[And Tang San's precocious and strange behavior since childhood went unnoticed by Ah Yin, who was in love, but Tang Hao, as a Titled Douluo, probably saw some clues. ]
[Tang San was very young, and due to his environment, he could wash clothes, cook, and take care of his father, which was relatively normal. However, he went to the back mountain to practice every day. As long as Tang Hao was not a fool, he would probably notice something was amiss. Tang San had planned everything, but he never anticipated that his father would be one of the strongest in this world.]
[I remember that, initially, Tang Hao had no intention of having Tang San awaken his martial soul, and he had not shared any relevant knowledge about martial souls with him over the years. It was only a few days before the awakening that Old Jack came to persuade and scold Tang Hao, and only then did Tang Hao reluctantly agree, perhaps wanting to see if his son would have the martial soul.]
[In the face of Old Jack's good intentions, Tang San's behavior was even more chilling. Old Jack was acting in Tang San's best interest, but Tang San still defended Tang Hao, coldly stating that this was his father, and he had no right to blame him. He even declared that he would not awaken his martial soul.]
[Perhaps it was because of Tang San's attitude that Tang Hao felt a twinge of compassion and decided to take a chance. Otherwise, as a Titled Douluo, how could a village chief without any soul power persuade him?]
[After the awakening, when Tang San released his first martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, in front of Tang Hao, the latter's face was very cold. He turned around and went back to his room. At that moment, he probably decided in his heart that this was not his child.]
[After all, according to the theory of martial soul inheritance, Tang San should have awakened his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul. Tang Hao still harbored pride in his heart. He also considered which martial soul was of higher quality: the Clear Sky Hammer or Blue Silver Grass. Perhaps if Tang San had directly awakened the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, he would not have been so cold.]
[However, he had been with Ah Yin for so long and learned some secrets about the Blue Silver Clan. There is only one Blue Silver Emperor in the world. Unless the current Blue Silver Emperor dies or abdicates, the second generation of Blue Silver Emperors will not be born. In other words, he knew from the start that his son could not awaken the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul.]
[Thus, Tang San could only awaken the Clear Sky Hammer. Even if it were a Blue Silver Grass martial soul with the blood of the Blue Silver Emperor, its quality could not be compared to that of the Clear Sky Hammer, which he regarded as the world's number one weapon martial soul!]
[So there is only one possibility: Tang Hao suspected that Tang San might not be his child and that he was very likely to be cuckolded! But he didn't consider that Ah Yin was with no one else except him at the time, so his suspicion lingered.]
[However, when Tang San revealed that he had a second martial soul and showcased the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul in his hand, Tang Hao immediately changed his demeanor, hugging Tang San tightly in his arms, proclaiming that he was indeed worthy of being his son. His attitude shifted completely from before!]
[He told his son that he must use the hammer in his left hand to protect the grass in his right. I felt so affectionate at that moment. But Tang Hao's next sentence left me a bit overwhelmed. He said: "Xiao San, unless necessary, you must not expose your hammer martial soul in front of other people!"]
