Chapter 3 Competing for Soul Stones
"Tang Lei, did you hear that he was injured and absent from the coming-of-age ceremony? Why are you here again?" Everyone was surprised when they saw Tang Lei's sudden appearance.
"Lei'er, you are so seriously injured. You don't take care of yourself in the bed, why are you still running around?" The humble middle-aged man just now, seemed to persuade Tang Lei very caringly.
Tang Jue, with a big face in the national character and capable and short hair, is the current head of the Tang clan. He smiles whenever he meets everyone, and has a typical smile-faced tiger characteristic, but he can't help but have a very good relationship with people.
"As a member of the Tang clan, I have the obligation to attend the coming-of-age ceremony!" Tang Lei, with the help of Tang Ya, came to the ancestral hall in one step.
"Okay, since you're here, let's sit with them!" Tang Jue didn't say anything, but arranged to let Tang Lei sit with the losers.
"Yes, Tang Lei, go there for a rest first!" Tang Jie also kindly persuaded, but his eyes kept wandering on Tang Ya.
This Tang Jie is definitely not kind-hearted. It’s all because I was too simple at the beginning. Tang Lei was secretly annoyed. Since he woke up from memory, he has easily seen through the sinisterness of people’s hearts.
"Elder, I want to awaken my martial soul!" Tang Lei ignored the two of them, but looked at the elders and asked loudly.
"What? You have to perform an awakening ceremony so badly. Are you afraid of your life?" The elders were also surprised.
"Elder, I want to try it. I just need hypnosis and wake up. Otherwise, I will regret it in my life!" Tang Lei made a sincere request.
"This... OK, let's give it a try!" The Tang family relatives were at least harmonious on the surface. No one opposed Tang Lei's request too much. After all, he didn't even drink the soul-sucking soup, and no one thought he would succeed.
In this way, an elder came to Tang Lei, staring at him with a long voice, "The soul hidden in life, please open the dusty shackles and release your most original power!"
‘Sizi…’ A light appeared above my head, and a beam of grass leaves of five colors gradually emerged from Tang Lei’s head, and his martial soul appeared.
"What? I've really awakened. What kind of martial soul is that?" The relatives of the Tang family immediately widened their eyes and were shocked.
"This... this is really a miracle. Unexpectedly, Tang Lei awakened the ornamental martial spirits of flowers and plants. If he performs in the future, he will definitely be very popular!" Tang Jue's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to be kind to praise, but he had ulterior motives.
"Are you watching the martial soul? That's really incomparable to Tang Jie's first-class martial soul!" When he heard Tang Jue say this, many relatives were disappointed.
"A merely watching martial souls, don't waste soul stones!" Tang Jie was still young after all, and he didn't have the cunning of his father, so he immediately showed unhappiness.
"Lei'er, Tang Jie's words are unpleasant, but he is right. There is no need to waste soul stones when you are watching martial souls. Can we make other compensations to you?" Tang Jue could speak too much, but the meaning was the same.
"No!" Tang Lei refused decisively and preached with a stern voice: "The rules of the Tang family are shared by the awakened people of the current generation. Righteousness is fairness and justice. Could it be that the family has mainly changed this rule and used all the soul stones on their sons?"
"This..." Tang Jue was also choked and speechless.
"Tang Lei, don't be ungrateful. Even if your trash martial soul snatches my soul stone, what's the use?" Tang Jie couldn't help it immediately and pointed at Tang Lei and started to curse.
"What is your soul stone? Isn't the soul stone shared by our Tang family?" Tang Lei retorted without showing any weakness.
"It should be shared, but I am a first-class martial soul, and you are a garbage martial soul. Isn't it purely a waste to share the soul stone with me?" Tang Jie said proudly.
"Oh? Why can't the trash martial soul have souls? Is there such a rule for the ancestors?" Tang Lei sneered: "According to your logic, the Tang family members should not eat, you, Tang Jie, will eat it!"
"You... you are making a point of reasoning, and you also ask the elders to make the decision for me!" Tang Jie couldn't help but look at the many elders.
"Tang Lei, our family finally had a first-class martial soul. Do you think you're just a little wronged first?" The elders actually turned to Tang Jie.
"So what about the first-class martial soul? Who knows if it's not useful!" Tang Lei didn't take it seriously. He really didn't like a first-class martial soul.
"Tang Lei, don't be so ignorant!" The elders were a little annoyed.
"Are I ignorant or are the elders unfair?" Tang Lei actually questioned the elders on the spot and said shamelessly: "As long as I give me a fair opportunity, I will definitely win the first place in the Tianhe City enrollment competition a year later!"
"Haha, Tang Lei, are you hurt by Jiang Qing and crazy, right?" Tang Jie felt extremely funny.
"How do you know I was injured by Jiang Qing?" Tang Lei narrowed his eyes and suddenly glared at Tang Jie.
"I...I just heard of it!" Tang Jie seemed a little panicked and immediately kept silent.
"Elder, I promise that as long as there is sufficient supply of soul stones, Tang Jie will definitely be able to squeeze into the top ten. This is related to family honor and special matters!" Tang Jue, as the head of the family, was even shameless.
"Well, that's true!" The elders obviously preferred Tang Jie more and did not believe Tang Lei's words at all.
"Elder, I just want a fair opportunity. Why can't you give it to me?" Tang Lei shouted with a look of reluctance.
"Lei'er, you are too seriously injured, it's important to recover from the injury first. As for the soul stone matter, if there is any extra matter in the future, I will give you some!" The elders exchanged their gazes, but they still didn't plan to give Tang Lei.
"Hmph!" At this moment, a cold rebuke shook the spot. A man with a disheveled face and a beard walked over and said unruly: "What a group of elders who are biased towards the gang. I, Tang Yun, are you just bullying me like this?"
"This... Tang Yun, why are you drunk? We do this for the sake of the family!" The elders couldn't help but scolded them.
"Don't tell me these wrong reasons. If we cannot be fair and just to my son according to the clan rules today, then we will leave the family and never interact with each other from now on!" Tang Yun was arrogant and unreasonable, not much talk but very much.
"Tang Yun, you are a person who has been the head of the family after all. How could you not put the overall situation first?" The elders complained, but they still looked at Tang Jue with some scruples and persuaded: "Since Tang Lei has awakened his martial soul by chance, then the soul stone will be divided into half of him!"
"Okay, for Brother Yun's sake, I will give him half of the soul stone. I hope that in the admissions competition in a year, I will not embarrass our family!" Tang Jue agreed immediately.
The soul stone was finally won. As long as you have this batch of soul stones, Tang Lei will have the first start-up capital, and his path to promotion of martial souls has been completely opened!
