Chapter 10: Tang San Finally Confirms the Truth!!!Hearing Old Jack's familiar and gentle call from outside the door, Tang San's heart stirred, and he thought to himself, "Finally, it's time!"He glanced at Tang Hao, who had just put down his bowl and chopsticks beside him.Tang Hao remained as cold as ever, saying without even lifting his head, "Go on, don't delay making lunch.""Yes, Father."Tang San responded, stood up, and walked out of the blacksmith shop, following Old Jack, who was waiting outside, toward the center of the village.The path beneath his feet, the houses on both sides, and even the smell of morning cooking fires in the air were exactly the same as what he had perceived in the simulation.When the Spirit Hall—a building that appeared exceptionally grand in Saint Spirit Village—appeared before his eyes, that fated sense of familiarity reached its peak.Stepping inside the hall, the scene completely overlapped with the images in his "memory."The old village chief, eight other children from the village with nervous and excited expressions, and the most conspicuous young man in the crowd, dressed in the standard uniform of the Spirit Hall.Tang San still remembered that in the simulation, this young man was named Su Yuntao."Hello, respected Battle Spirit Master, we'll have to trouble you this time," Old Jack said, bowing respectfully to the young man.A trace of imperceptible arrogance and haste showed between the young man's brows as he bowed slightly in return:"I don't have much time, let's begin now."The Spirit awakening ceremony proceeded in an orderly fashion.Each child stepped forward as Su Yuntao guided their spirit power, their Spirits manifested, their spirit power was tested, and then they stepped back either in disappointment or calm.This entire process aligned perfectly with the scenes from the simulation, as if a carefully rehearsed play was being performed step by step.Soon, it was Tang San's turn.Tang San, who was usually calm and composed, felt a rare sense of nervousness at this moment, his palms even sweating slightly.His heart was filled with complex contradictions.He was worried that if the Spirit awakened today was truly as he had seen in the simulation, it would mean that the incredible "Life Simulator" was telling the truth. His future life trajectory, including his mother's secret and the hidden dangers of his twin spirits, might be observed and arranged by an invisible hand.At the same time, he was afraid that the Spirit awakened today would be different from the simulation.If even this most basic starting point were different, then everything shown in the simulator regarding the Blue Silver Emperor, Fu Shiyan, and that completely different path would be like a moon reflected in water—nothing but an illusory dream.Human nature is inherently complex.Tang San deeply felt this conflict now.He feared the "truth" of the prophecy because it meant he had been chosen by an incomprehensible existence, and his fate might no longer be entirely in his own hands, bringing a fear born of the unknown.But he also feared it was "false," because once one has experienced the possibility of glimpsing the future and knowing their extraordinary potential, being forced back into the reality of a "trash Spirit Blue Silver Grass" and a fog-shrouded future would create a psychological gap too great to bear.It was like being told you had won a multi-million dollar jackpot, only to find the ticket was expired and invalid; the intense sense of loss would be enough to crush one's mental defenses.However, no matter how Tang San's heart churned or how chaotic his thoughts were, reality would not pause for his will.The Spirit awakening process had undeniably reached his turn."Next."Su Yuntao's flat voice rang out.Without needing further instruction from Su Yuntao, Tang San had already taken the initiative to walk into the center of the six black Awakening Stones, just as he had in the simulation.He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart.As Su Yuntao injected spirit power into the formation on the ground, a pale golden light lit up again, forming a shroud of light that enveloped Tang San.He carefully felt this energy. Although he had already "experienced" it once in the life simulation, the actual sensation at this moment still had subtle differences from the simulation's perception.Warmth—that was the first thing Tang San felt.This warm energy seemed to have a life of its own, constantly penetrating into his body, making the pores all over his body relax.At the same time, the Mysterious Heaven Skill internal force circulating within him seemed to be drawn by something and began to fluctuate slightly.Then, as if some innate shackle within his body had shattered, all the warm breath instantly became surging, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, rushing toward his hands in unison!Almost subconsciously, the scenes from the simulation flashed through Tang San's mind.He suddenly moved his left hand behind his back and clenched it tightly—he was afraid, afraid that just like in the simulation, a second Spirit would truly awaken!Having gone through the information dump in the simulation, he was no longer that mountain village child who knew nothing of the world of Spirit Masters.He knew very well what "twin spirits" meant. It was a talent capable of shaking the continent, and before he had enough strength, it absolutely could not be exposed!The moment he hid his left hand, his right hand rose uncontrollably. In his palm, spirit power gathered, and a familiar yet slightly strange plant slowly emerged and unfurled.The leaves were blue-purple with clear veins, carrying a faint aura of life.Blue Silver Grass!It really was Blue Silver Grass!Almost at the same time, a completely different throb came from the palm of his left hand hidden behind his back!A heavy power with a cold and hard texture condensed and took shape there.Even without seeing it, through that subtle spirit power fluctuation and the familiar touch, he immediately confirmed it—it was the shape of a hammer!Presumably, it was what the simulation called the World's Number One Tool Martial Soul—the Clear Sky Hammer!Boom—!!!Like a thunderclap exploding in his mind, Tang San's heart suddenly constricted and then began to beat wildly. The massive shock left him dazed for a moment.It matched!It all matched!Exactly the same!Blue Silver Grass in the right hand, Clear Sky Hammer in the left, twin spirits—everything he had seen and heard in the simulation was now being reproduced in reality without the slightest error!An indescribable wave of complex emotions instantly overwhelmed Tang San.The Spirits were Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer!The process was exactly the same as in the simulation!This ironclad fact ruthlessly declared the authenticity of the content shown by the "Life Simulator"!The massive shock even caused him to ignore the spirit power test Su Yuntao performed afterward.When his hand pressed onto the crystal ball and that dazzling blue light erupted again, drawing Su Yuntao's surprised and regretful cry of "Innate Full Spirit Power?"—Tang San's mind had already calmed down quite a bit, or rather, he was somewhat numbed by the massive influx of information.He politely thanked Su Yuntao, took the certificate representing his Spirit Master status, and silently walked back among the children, lowering his eyelids to hide all his churning emotions beneath his youthful face.However, the massive storm of confirming his fate that he experienced internally turned into the sweetest and most surging source of "Faith Power" for Fu Shiyan, far away in his dilapidated small house![Faith Power +1000!][Faith Power +2500!][Faith Power +5800!][Faith Power +12000!]... The numbers on the system interface were jumping and soaring wildly at an unprecedented speed!Tang San's final confirmation of the "simulator's" authenticity, and his further trust in the "Fu Shiyan" persona presented within it, acted like the most fertile nutrients, generating a massive amount of faith power points!Watching the constantly skyrocketing numbers, a cold and satisfied curve finally couldn't help but curl at the corner of Fu Shiyan's mouth."Next, it's my turn to take the stage!!!"
