Early in the morning, Tang San and Tang Sui went to the Grandmaster's residence to find him.
The Grandmaster's living quarters were in a corner room on the top floor of the dormitory building. The room was not large, only about thirty square meters, but a bookshelf that occupied an entire wall was filled with all sorts of books.
The moment he stepped into the room, Tang San's gaze was drawn to the books.
This was the first time he had seen books on this continent.
Sacred Soul Village was too remote and backward. Even if he saw paper with writing on it, it was usually single sheets. A complete book was something he had only seen in his past life.
"Teacher."
The siblings called out to the Grandmaster in unison. The Grandmaster, who was sitting in his office chair writing something, looked up, stopped his pen, picked up two small oil-paper packets that had already been prepared on the desk, and stood up to walk towards them.
"You're here."
A pleasant aroma of meat wafted through the air, and Tang Sui's eyes lit up, immediately captivated.
It was meat!
The small, earth-yellow oil-paper packets caught his eye. The Grandmaster handed the two packets, of different sizes, to Tang Sui and Tang San, and said gently, "Eat your breakfast first. You're growing, so a poor diet won't do, especially for you, little sister."
Tang San was startled and exchanged a glance with Tang Sui.
They carefully opened the paper packets. Tang San saw two chicken drumsticks and a steamed bun wrapped in oil paper. They felt as if they were still warm.
Tang Sui's packet, although missing a chicken drumstick, had an extra meat bun, just the right size for her to eat.
"This..." Tang Sui looked up and met the Grandmaster's calm yet gentle gaze, which seemed to carry a hint of comfort.
"Alright, hurry up and eat. I have something to tell you after breakfast. We can't waste the morning."
"Thank you, teacher," Tang Sui said softly. Without being coy, she adjusted the oil-paper packet and began to eat bite by bite.
Tang San also said thank you and quietly finished the breakfast with Tang Sui.
The Grandmaster poured two cups of warm water on a small tea table and then sat behind his desk. He watched Tang Sui, whose throat was a little choked, gulping water from her cup, and Tang San, who was looking worried and gently patting her back to help her breathe, and said,
"After you went back yesterday, I carefully examined your situations, both of you. You are twins, six years old this year, both with Innate Full Spirit Power. Little San, you also have Twin Martial Souls, is that right?"
Mentioning this, Tang San looked up with a hint of hesitation on his face.
The Grandmaster, accurately capturing Tang San's hesitation, frowned. "Hmm? Is something wrong?"
"This..." Tang San hesitated, then looked at Tang Sui, who was slowly catching her breath.
The Grandmaster's gaze followed to Tang Sui. After a two-second pause, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a horrifying guess surfaced in his mind, "Don't tell me... you two siblings both have Twin Martial Souls?!"
Tang San smiled at the astonished Grandmaster and admitted frankly, "Yes, teacher."
Since he and Sui Sui had taken him as their master, he felt they should show him more trust and honesty.
"What are your other Martial Souls? Did you each inherit your parents' Martial Souls?"
Tang Sui, no longer choked, blinked and replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "No. My second Martial Soul is the same as my brother's, but there are some differences."
The Grandmaster withdrew his shocked expression and looked at the siblings with a different kind of gaze, saying solemnly, "Release your second Martial Souls for me to see."

Question: Will Sui Sui be able to release the Clear Sky Hammer without fainting this time?
(Rambling) I said I'd update earlier, but then the power went out from the afternoon until now. Unbelievable.
See you tomorrow~
