Chapter 4: The mighty and domineering Old Jack

~9 min read 1,753 words

Jerry returned home, changed his clothes, and went out to find Old Jack. Old Jack was planting carrots in the fields at this moment!】

Old Jack's martial soul was a food-type martial soul. Because he had no innate spirit power, he couldn't cultivate, but he could summon it to eat. By chance, he discovered that the carrots summoned by the martial soul could also be planted, so he started planting carrots. And the carrots planted were big and crisp, with a fragrance, and the taste was very good. Everyone who ate them said they were good.】

Soon Jerry found his grandfather who was working. Grandfather was bending his waist, planting carrots. He had dug a row of pits in front, which should have been dug by grandfather before. Now he was planting carrots in each pit. He only saw grandfather summon his martial soul, plant it into the pit, and then fill it with soil, planting one after another.】

Looking at his working grandfather, Jerry felt a pain in his heart. He didn't know if it was because of the bloodline of this body or what, but Jerry just felt very uncomfortable in his heart.】

"Grandfather Jack, Grandfather Jack, stop working. Little San and I caught a big fish, let's go cook the fish now," Jerry shouted loudly.】

Hearing Jerry's shouting, Old Jack raised his hunched body. Hearing Jerry say he caught a big fish, although he didn't know what fishing was, he thought of the danger of catching fish, so he nervously asked: "Jerry, you went to catch fish? How dangerous is it by the water? Fortunately, you are fine. Don't go next time!"】

"Grandfather, I'm fine, we are fishing, fishing on the shore."】

Hearing Jerry say on the shore, his heart suddenly relaxed.】

"Is that so? Good child, you can even catch fish! You are better than your grandfather; I don't know how to. You have really grown up!"】

Old Jack took Jerry home first, put away all the tools, washed his hands, and then prepared to go to Tang Hao's house.】

Just arriving at Tang Hao's house, seeing Tang Hao lying at the door, he was so angry that he couldn't help it.】

"Tang Hao, you are such a big person, lying down and drinking every day. Look at your son, he is so thin! Can't you live like a human being for Little San's sake!"】

"So what if I live like a human being?" After speaking, he took a sip of wine and continued lying down!】

"You, you... Tang Hao, don't you know how to do more work to improve Little San's life? Look, now two children have run off to catch fish themselves!" Old Jack was so angry that his teeth ached.】

Tang San walked out at this time: "Grandfather Jack, don't scold Father, Father is very good to me!"】

"Hey, forget it, Little San is still sensible, much stronger than this adult. I'll cook the fish!" Old Jack said helplessly.】

As the village head, it wasn't the first time he had scolded Tang Hao. Every time Tang Hao ignored him, which made him unable to vent his anger every time.】

Seeing Grandfather Jack scolding Tang Hao, he couldn't help but feel that Grandfather was really mighty and domineering, daring to scold the Clear Sky Douluo like this and still living well. He was the only one!】

Old Jack came to the kitchen and saw the big fish on the chopping board.】

"Such a big fish, how did you catch it?"】

"Grandfather Jack, we caught it by the waterfall using the tools Jerry made," Tang San hurriedly said!】

"Good, I'll kill the fish! Such a big fish needs to be chopped up to be easy to cook." After speaking, Old Jack chopped down at the fish head, and then he saw a white light appear, condensing into a white ring above the fish.】

"Spirit beast, this is a spirit beast. You caught a spirit beast, and I actually killed a spirit beast with my own hands. Hey, what a waste, what a waste. If this were taken to Nuoding City, it could be sold for 10 gold spirit coins," Old Jack said regretfully.】

Seeing the spirit ring, Tang San was stunned and hurriedly asked: "Grandfather Jack, what is a spirit beast?"】

"Little San, you can awaken your martial soul when you reach six years old. If you have spirit power, you can become a Spirit Master. Spirit Master, every ten levels you have to absorb a spirit ring to break through and continue cultivating. Our Holy Soul Village once produced a Spirit Saint, so our village is called Holy Soul Village. You will know later!" Old Jack explained to Tang San!】

So that's how it is. The reason why Mysterious Heaven Art couldn't break through should be because there was no spirit ring. Looking at the white spirit ring in front of him, Tang San was very excited. If I absorb this spirit ring, I can break through! "Then Grandfather Jack, how do I absorb a spirit ring?" Tang San asked!】

"I don't know about this. I don't have spirit power and can't cultivate. When you awaken your martial soul in the future, if you have spirit power, I will send you to the Junior Spirit Master Academy in Nuoding City. The teachers there will teach you," Old Jack explained.】

Tang San was a bit disappointed, and seeing the spirit ring in front of him, he was a bit unwilling, so he reached out to touch the spirit ring, but his hand went directly through the spirit ring, and there was no reaction at all.】

Jerry watched everything from the side. Tang San knew about Spirit Masters in advance; would it have an impact on the future plot? He thought about it and forgot it. I'd better think about how to trick Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Art!】

Right, if I popularize Spirit Master knowledge to Tang San in advance, when he meets Yu Xiaogang in the future, will it not be so easy to be tricked? If Yu Xiaogang can't take Tang San as a disciple, will Tang San take many detours in the early stage?】

Thinking of Yu Xiaogang's awkward expression in the future, hehehe, this idea is perfect. Popularizing Spirit Master matters to Tang San in advance, maybe Tang San will be moved and teach me Mysterious Heaven Art!】

Ever since this fishing incident, Jerry and Tang San often went fishing. Every time they killed a fish, looking at the white spirit ring floating in front of them, Tang San felt a pain in his heart!】

And Jerry, under the guise of fishing, asked Tang San to forge many things. For example, dumbbells, barbells, horizontal bars. I don't know if it was because of the spirit power in this world, but the training effect was very obvious.】

Later, these equipment obviously couldn't satisfy Jerry's training, so he asked Tang San to help forge a tension machine, which could train both arms and legs, and the weight could be increased at any time if it wasn't enough.】

Tang San saw the things Jerry asked him to forge, and they were all very strange, but when combined, they were a bit different. He could see that these things belonged to external training, and his Mysterious Heaven Art belonged to internal training.】

Tang San was not interested in external training. External training would only make the body powerful and increase muscles. Tang San didn't like this kind of muscle man. In his previous life, there were also people in the Tang Sect who trained externally, all shirtless, showing off their muscles.】

Tang San didn't want to train himself into this look; he still liked the look of a humble gentleman.】

After Jerry updated the fishing equipment, fishing was obviously much safer. With Jerry's training, he gradually had muscles and was much stronger than before, so he asked Tang San to forge him a pure metal fishing rod, two meters long, with a fishing reel. This fishing reel didn't have any drag or anything, it could only simply release and retract the line. It was mainly mechanical design. Jerry was completely ignorant now and didn't think about researching it; it was fine as long as it could be used.】

With the fishing reel, Jerry no longer worried about being dragged into the water by fish. This day, he went fishing with Tang San again. With the new equipment, he completely let go after hooking one fish, one after another. Soon, more than a dozen fish were piled on the shore. Seeing so many fish, Tang San was very happy and stopped fishing himself, directly cleaning the fish on the shore.】

Jerry had asked Tang San to make a hand-pulled cart before, which was originally to facilitate transporting fishing equipment, but now it was full of fish.】

"Jerry, don't fish today, we can't finish eating!" Tang San was very happy, but seeing Jerry fishing more and more, he worried about not being able to finish eating, and then said.】

"One last one, one last one ashore, and I won't fish anymore!"】

Then the fish was ashore. "One more cast, just one cast. After this cast, we'll leave. Look, it's still early, don't be afraid!"】

"One last one."】

"One more cast."】

...】

Finally, the sky was about to turn dark. "Jerry, look, you cast one after another, it's endless. Now this cart of fish, the two of us can't even push it!"】

"I see you were very happy when cleaning the fish! The new equipment is too satisfying, I didn't stop in time for a moment."】

"I was happy at first, but later you caught so many, I couldn't be happy anymore."】

"Then what to do? These fish are basically all dead. It's a waste to throw them away, and they will spoil if we don't eat them! How about you stay here, and I'll go back to the village to call people!" Jerry said.】

"That's the only way. Can you not catch so many next time?" Tang San said.】

"I'll pay attention next time! I'll pay attention next time!" Jerry said.】

Tang San would never know how many casts are in a veteran angler's "last cast".】

Then Jerry went back to the village to fish. There were more than thirty households in the village, and that night, every family ate fish, praising Jerry and Tang San while eating.】
