Capítulo 3: Chapter 3 Arrival of Xiao Taozi_1

After returning from the Blacksmith Shop, Xu Sheng, succumbing to fatigue, lay down on his bed and slowly closed his eyes…

…

A slant of sunlight shone down, and right at Xu Sheng's doorway stood Jack, hunched over his back. Behind him followed Tang San and about five or six other children, boys and girls, who appeared to be around the same age as Tang San.

Jack glanced at Tang San and, out of helplessness, patted his shoulder and said, "Xiaosan, go in and call Xu Sheng out. That guy must still be sleeping in!"

It seemed he didn't take his own words from yesterday seriously at all, in one ear and out the other!

Tang San nodded, "Yes, Grandpa Jack!"

The boys and girls behind him all covered their mouths, trying to hold back their laughter…

To think he even forgot about the Soul Awakening Ceremony, this guy must have lost faith in becoming a Soul Master!

Unlike them, who were all brimming with enthusiasm to become the esteemed Soul Master!

With such an attitude, how could he possibly become the respected Soul Master!

Tang San sighed at the doorway and then pushed the door open, deftly walking in…

As he entered, he saw Xu Sheng sleeping peacefully on the bed and quickly shook Xu Sheng's hand…

"Brother Sheng? Why are you still sleeping? The Martial Soul Awakening is about to start!"

But Brother Sheng was quite lazy, however… his face was really handsome, completely out of my league!

Xu Sheng, waking up from his sleep, shook his groggy head and slowly sat up, looking at the familiar figure beside him in confusion, "Xiaosan?"

The next moment, he immediately covered his forehead and muttered, "Wait, damn it, I seem to have forgotten that today is the Martial Soul Awakening! I bet Old Jack is going to nag again!"

Tang San pointed at the door with a wry smile and said, "Brother Sheng, we should hurry outside, everyone's waiting for you! Some are already getting impatient!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng felt a bit annoyed, "Impatient? What the—Xiaosan, go and tell them to wait for me! Really, what's the rush! Other than you, they're all useless with no Soul Power, worrying over nothing!"

Could the Martial Soul Awakening be more important than looking after his handsome appearance?

That was impossible!

Observant Tang San's gaze sharpened slightly, thinking to himself, "Other than me? What does Brother Sheng mean by that?"

But his face remained expressionless as he said, "Well… okay, then, Brother Sheng, you better hurry, or Grandpa Jack is going to be angry!"

…

After getting ready, Xu Sheng then pushed the door open and walked out…

Dressed in spotless white clothes, especially with those god-sculpted features, his thin lips slightly pursed, he exuded a cool and detached aura…

Truly, as if a jade man had stepped down the bridge, unmatched in this world! Perhaps the only flaw was the slight trace of youth still lingering on his face!

"Damn! Is this guy from our village? Why have I never seen him before..."

"So… so handsome! It's understandable for a good-looking brother to wake up late!" a little girl said, her eyes shining as she stared at Xu Sheng.

The boy beside her, not to be outdone, crossed his arms and huffed, "Hmph, how is he more handsome than me?"

```

Another little boy contemptuously retorted, "You? Give it a break! That's a face carved by God himself, yours looks like a mess of slapped-together mud!"

Tang San couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Sure enough, every time Brother Sheng shows up, he triggers this kind of commotion! But I can't blame him; with his looks, he's totally suited to be a pretty boy!"

Jack was so stunned that he covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "Cough cough... Xiao Sheng, since you've arrived, hurry over, don't keep the folks from Martial Soul Hall waiting!"

Sometimes he wondered if Xu Sheng was the scion of some major clan, because everyone born in their tiny village had such ordinary looks...

Except for Xu Sheng...

Xu Sheng nodded, slowly walking into the queue, enjoying the adoration of the girls around him as well as a few envious glares, and said indifferently, "Alright, let's go."

Following that, Tang San and the rest followed Jack toward the center of the village...

Eventually, a giant rock appeared before them, with a palm print in the middle of it. Jack immediately became enthusiastic, extended his finger, and said with deep emotion, "Children, look, that palm print was created by the Soul Sage from our Holy Soul Village! It symbolizes the pride of our village!"

The other children looked up to Old Jack with admiration, listening intently!

Only Xu Sheng rolled his eyes after listening, lightly patted Tang San on the shoulder and whispered, "Old Jack is boasting again. Xiaosan, do you think this place can really produce a Soul Sage?"

Tang San shook his head, "I'm not sure, but if Grandpa Jack says so, it must be true."

Xu Sheng sneered, "How much of what Old Jack says can you believe?"

But the next moment, Tang San's ears twitched slightly, sensing the sound of something cutting through the air in the distance, and looked towards the direction of the sound, then whispered to himself, "Purple Demon Eyes!"

As he spoke inwardly, Tang San's eyes gradually turned purple, emitting a faint dark glow...

Xu Sheng also noticed the sudden flash of purple in Tang San's eyes, which disappeared in an instant...

He then looked in the direction Tang San was gazing at, his lips curving slightly, "Looks like little Xiao Taozi has arrived."

Unlike Tang San, with all his fancy abilities, he was just an ordinary person!

Afterwards, a man dressed in Martial Soul Hall's light blue uniform came over calmly...

Seeing the newcomer, Old Jack walked over and bowed respectfully, "Suyun Tao, sir!"

Suyun Tao replied indifferently, "Is everyone here?"

He had been to several villages to perform Soul Awakenings, but without exception, not a single child with Soul Power was found! Naturally, he wasn't very interested in Holy Soul Village either.

Old Jack replied respectfully, "Battle Soul Master, all the children who need to awaken are here..."

Suyun Tao then glanced casually at Tang San and the others, secretly shaking his head. However, when his eyes fell on Xu Sheng, who had an aura completely different from the others, a glint appeared in his eyes.

He said softly to Tang San and the rest, "Children, my name is Suyun Tao, a level 26 Battle Soul Master! I will be the one to awaken your Martial Souls this time."

Xu Sheng scrutinized Suyun Tao's figure and commented with a hint of admiration, "Little Taozi has a nice presence, too bad he's not much different from a tool."

Tang San was also curious as he looked at Suyun Tao, silently mused, "Is this what a Soul Master looks like? Doesn't seem anything special."

Suyun Tao gestured, "Now, follow me..."
