Douluo Dalu 1: The Tang Family Rebel

In a grand and magnificent hall—the Pope's office.

"Holy Spirit Village, Tang San, Blue Silver Grass, innate full soul power?"

At this moment, the female Pope held a report in her hands, sent by the soul masters responsible for awakening martial souls. Her beautiful eyes reflected a thoughtful expression. Just from the brief details on the latest martial soul awakening report, she could almost confirm that this child named Tang San's martial soul wasn't as simple as Blue Silver Grass.

According to years of research by Spirit Hall, a pattern had been discovered: innate soul power is proportional to the quality of a martial soul. In other words, high innate soul power always corresponds to an exceptional martial soul. However, the brief details in the report suggested that the so-called trash martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, couldn't possibly be associated with innate full soul power unless there were two possibilities:

This Blue Silver Grass wasn't an ordinary Blue Silver Grass but a higher-level martial soul disguised as one.The child possessed another martial soul in addition to the Blue Silver Grass—he was a twin martial soul wielder!

And given that the child's surname was Tang, his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, and his age was close enough to certain assumptions, Bibi Dong could be nearly certain: this Tang San was likely Yun Chuan's twin brother.

"How incredible... Twin brothers born of the same mother, both awakened with twin martial souls." Bibi Dong looked at the report in her hands with disbelief. "What kind of good deeds did Tang Hao do in his past life to father two sons with such extraordinary talents?"

At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps echoed from afar, drawing closer.

"Mommy~"

Accompanied by a sweet, clingy call, Yun Chuan ran into the hall and dove into the female Pope's arms. He nuzzled her, discreetly taking a deep breath. The mix of a baby's scent and the woman's fragrance was utterly intoxicating.

Bibi Dong gently set the report aside and hugged the little one in her arms, her fingers running through his silky, jet-black hair, stroking him as if he were a kitten.

"Mommy, what are you looking at?" After basking in his mother's comforting presence for a while, Yun Chuan reluctantly pulled away from her soft and fragrant embrace. Curious, he asked, but his gaze inadvertently fell upon the document on the desk. His eyes froze!

The mention of Holy Spirit Village, Tang San, martial soul Blue Silver Grass, and innate full soul power sent a sinking feeling to Yun Chuan's heart. A rare hesitation overcame him.

He debated whether to inform Bibi Dong of Tang Hao and Tang San's whereabouts and have Tang San eliminated before he could grow strong.

Under normal circumstances, if Yun Chuan didn't share a relationship with Tang San and his father, and given his allegiance to Spirit Hall, he would have had no reservations. He would immediately find an opportunity to relay the information to the Pope, ensuring the father and son's demise to eradicate future threats.

However, he was their blood relative, Tang Hao's son and Tang San's twin brother. Blood ties weren't something easily severed.

Yun Chuan wasn't troubled by sentimental concerns about kinship. Raised in Spirit Hall, he regarded it as his home. To him, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were his true family.

Tang Hao and Tang San?

What were they to him?

If they dared threaten his family's lives, he wouldn't hesitate to strike them down, regardless of being his biological father and brother.

Yet, the reason for his internal conflict was rooted in morality. His life came from Tang Hao, and killing his biological father would weigh heavily on his conscience—it conflicted with the moral compass he had followed throughout his life.

"Forget it, let nature take its course," Yun Chuan ultimately decided.

"After all, with my talent, it's easy for me to grow powerful in the future. Tang Hao and Tang San pose no real threat. If they come for revenge, I'll crush them effortlessly!

"As long as I continue to grow strong—strong enough to defeat anyone—then I can protect Mom and Big Sister!"

"And as for Tang San, an insignificant trickster reliant on hidden weapons, he's nothing more than a clown unworthy of attention!"

"Thinking he can destroy Spirit Hall and harm Mom and Big Sister like in the original story? Over my dead body!"

With these thoughts, Yun Chuan felt a weight lift from his heart. A knot seemed to unravel.

"It's nothing, just an interesting child," Bibi Dong replied nonchalantly to his question, placing the awakening report aside without further inquiry. She decided to let the matter go.

Her decision was partly for Yun Chuan's sake, but mostly because it wasn't worth pursuing.

After all, Bibi Dong had no personal grudges against Tang Hao and his son. On the contrary, if anything, Tang Hao had inadvertently helped her. If it weren't for him gravely injuring Qian Xunji, she wouldn't have had the chance to kill that scoundrel.
