6. What? Awakening martial soul cost money?

Hearing the voice, Tang San frowned slightly, stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and walked towards the store.

Although from memory, his current father often beat and scolded him, for him who had not felt much fatherly love in the previous two lives, the other party's treatment of cooking for him and being present is satisfying enough for the reincarnated Godking.

After all, he was an orphan in the first life, and Tang Hao in the second life did not give him any fatherly love when he was a child.

If Tang San wasn't mature enough and knew how to take care of himself and Old Jack's support, he might not even live past 6 years old under Tang Hao's care.

As the capital, the expense of living in Heaven Dou City is very expensive, and being able to buy a store is already Tang Ba's limit, so their daily food and accommodation are all in the foundry room in the back half of the store.

It happened that the city is located in the north of the continent, and the temperature is relatively low most of the year.

Sleeping in the foundry room can also be used to warm up from the temperature emitted by the forge.

As soon as he entered the casting room, Tang San saw a sloppy middle-aged man carrying two plates of food coming out of the back kitchen.

When the man saw Tang San, his face darkened at a visible speed.

"I knew you were back when it was time for dinner. Hmph! You let me serve you all day long, even the dishes. You useless thing, do you still want me to feed you?!"

The man was naturally Tang San's father after his rebirth, Tang Ba.

Seeing Tang San lowering his head and not speaking, Tang Ba snorted coldly and raised his chin towards the place where wine bottles were piled up.

"Go get me two bottles of wine."

"Okay, Dad."

After searching through a pile of empty wine bottles for a long time, Tang San's face gradually showed an embarrassed look, and he looked at Tang Ba and whispered.

"Dad, there's no more wine."

Hearing this, Tang Ba couldn't help but frown in annoyance.

After searching his pockets and finding two silver soul coins, his expression became more and more gloomy.

The blacksmith shop's business was not going well, and it was still a question whether they would get any work in the next few days.

If the remaining money was used to buy wine, they would probably starve to death.

"Okay, come over and eat."

"Why didn't your mother take you with her? You made me unable to drink wine..."

Tang Ba vented his emotions on Tang San without any hesitation.

He sat down on the seat, picked up the rice bowl, and started eating.

There were only two vegetarian dishes on the table.

The one in front of Tang Ba had some meat scraps, which the other party used to go with the wine.

Tang San could only eat the other vegetarian dishes, but these were nothing to him.

After all, he had survived the days when he could only drink white porridge in his previous life.

The other party was still his father!

In Tang San's view, father and son, no matter how wrong the father was, he was still a father after all.

He had heard a saying in his first life that filial piety comes first.

Although he was an orphan at that time, he agreed with this saying because he longed to have a family.

Perhaps it was because of this mentality that he had a father by his side every time he was reborn in the future!

Tang San also had some impression of the mother mentioned by the other party.

In his memory, she was a very beautiful woman.

Although her appearance was not so stunning, she was very eye-catching among ordinary people.

As for how the two met, the original owner had heard from his mother when he was a child that after Tang Ba came to Heaven Dou City, he was arrogant and had a very 'chaotic' life in the first few years.

However, his luck was not bad.

Because he came from the Clear Sky Sect, he occasionally received orders for hidden weapons from the Tang Sect, the first sect on the continent ten thousand years ago.

Although the Tang Sect declined, it still allowed Tang Ba to earn some money while lingering, and his life gradually improved.

At that time, his mother also saw his father Tang Ba's ability and married him.

Two years later, Tang San was born.

But the good times did not last long.

The decline of the Tang Sect continued. Before long, there were no more orders for Tang Ba to make.

Tang Ba, who had lost his biggest source of income, also developed a habit of alcoholism during this period due to the pressure of life.

He frequently quarreled with his wife and finally, it became more and more intense and turned into domestic violence.

At first, his mother was still looking forward to his father getting out of trouble and returning to his previous state, but what he waited for was disappointment again and again.

Finally, when Tang San was four years old, she could no longer bear it and chose to abandon her husband and children and leave.

From then on, Tang Ba's alcoholism became more serious.

Not only did he curse the Tang Sect when he was drunk, but he also transferred all his anger for being abandoned by his wife to Tang San.

You must know that before this, Tang Ba named him Tang San, which was originally a vent for the grievances he suffered in the Clear Sky Sect.

Added to the memory of his 'beloved' wife who left him, the beatings and scoldings got worse and worse.

Of course, this is nothing to Tang San now.

After all, filial piety comes first. No matter how his father treats him, he is still his father.

It was a coincidence that although his mother was an ordinary person without soul power, her martial spirit was Blue Silver Grass, and his father's martial spirit was Clear Sky Hammer.

Thinking of this, Tang San couldn't help but feel a sense of fate surge in his heart.

Excited, he looked up at Tang Ba and spoke.

"Dad, I'm already six years old. When can I awaken my martial soul?"

Tang Ba frowned and looked at him as if he was a fool.

"Why?"

"I can buy a dozen bottles of wine with that money. It's good enough that I can give you food. Why do you want to spend my money to awaken your martial soul?"

Hearing this, Tang San was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously, "Isn't awakening the martial soul free?"

"Free?"

Tang Ba sneered, "It is free. If you join a noble as a servant or sign up for the army, you can awaken your martial soul for free. When you grow up, I can indeed send you there."

"But I heard that the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago would help civilians awaken their martial souls for free."

Hearing this, Tang Ba couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Oh? How do you know about the Spirit Hall? Who told you that?"

Before Tang San could respond, he spoke again, but his tone was a little sarcastic.

"Yeah, the Spirit Hall will awaken the spirit for free, but where is the Spirit Hall now?

"None! It was destroyed ten thousand years ago."

Tang San's face was stiff for a moment.

When he was a god, he never cared whether the spirit could be awakened for free or anything that resulted in his actions 10,000 years ago.

After all, there are rules in the God Realm that gods cannot interfere with the lower realm at will.

As one of the three law enforcers in the God Realm, Tang San must set an example.

It is precisely because he has always performed his duties conscientiously and never violated the rules that the two God Kings of Evil and Kindness have high hopes for him, and entrusted the God Realm to him before leaving.

However, today, the bitter fruit that he planted ten thousand years ago has been presented to him.

It was his turn to experience the consequences of his actions.
