Now that she had finally made up her mind to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, she claimed she wanted to work hard to raise her cultivation and seek revenge against Spirit Hall in the future. But judging by her various actions, that did not seem to be the case.
During her six years at Notting Academy, her Soul Power had only risen to level twenty-nine. One had to remember that she possessed Innate Full Soul Power!
Although the cultivation conditions at Notting Academy were rather crude, compared with Tang San during the same period, Xiao Wu's level twenty-nine truly seemed inadequate. Tang San had also possessed Innate Full Soul Power, yet during those six years, aside from cultivating his Soul Power, he had to spend time forging at the blacksmith shop in the city and study the so-called martial soul theory under Yu Xiaogang.
Despite such a heavy workload, Tang San had not possessed many cultivation resources, yet he had still raised his Soul Power to level twenty-nine. Moreover, although Tang San had tested at level ten Soul Power when his martial soul awakened, he was the sole case of Acquired Full Soul Power!
The women: Acquired Full Soul Power? What did that mean?
In their understanding, Soul Power before Martial Soul Awakening was innate, which was why it was called Innate Soul Power. Shouldn't Acquired Soul Power only come after Martial Soul Awakening?
At Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong saw Dai Yichen say that Xiao Wu had assumed human form and entered human society in order to grow stronger and seek revenge against Spirit Hall.
A hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit soul beast assuming human form... Could this be your daughter, Ah Rou?
Then, her attention was drawn to a name—Yu Xiaogang!
She had actually discovered long ago that Yu Xiaogang was hiding at Notting Academy in Notting City. But given her personality, it was practically impossible for her to take the initiative to seek him out.
When Liu Erlong of Blue Tyrant Academy saw that name, her heart was stirred by endless waves. She had the urge to immediately go to Notting Academy and find Yu Xiaogang, but after recalling something, she let out a soft sigh and stopped herself.
Ever since that incident, Yu Xiaogang had been unwilling to see her. What meaning was there in her going to him?
Moreover, although the Golden Iron Triangle had parted ways back then, and she had not remained in contact with Yu Xiaogang, she had continued exchanging letters with Flender. Aside from learning about the academy he had founded, her main purpose had been to secretly keep tabs on Yu Xiaogang through Flender.
It was Flender who had told her that Yu Xiaogang was at Notting Academy.
When the Zhu family sisters saw that Xiao Wu had possessed level ten Innate Soul Power yet only reached level twenty-nine after six years, they both thought that it would be wonderful if they had such high Innate Soul Power.
It was not that level twenty-nine Soul Power at around twelve years old was low. For ordinary people, it was naturally monstrous talent. But for a hundred-thousand-year soul beast like Xiao Wu who had assumed human form, it was somewhat unimpressive.
After all, she had lived for tens of thousands of years. She essentially had no need to study the continent's theoretical knowledge regarding martial souls and soul beasts, which should have left her with plenty of extra time for cultivation.
As Xiao Wu read the latest content written by Dai Yichen, she immediately fell into deep thought. Was this really her?
She did not doubt Dai Yichen's words in the slightest. After all, Dai Yichen did not even know that someone could read the diary he wrote, and he even knew that she had come out to grow stronger and seek revenge against Spirit Hall.
Xiao Wu looked at the diary before her and slowly exhaled. Her eyes turned in another direction, filled with determination—the Star Luo Empire. This time, she would cultivate somewhere else!
Then she turned her gaze back to the diary. She was also rather curious why Dai Yichen said Tang San's Innate Full Soul Power was questionable. Could Innate Soul Power be raised through other means?
Poor Ah Yin still did not know that her son had already died six years ago during that pursuit, after being caught in the aftermath of Soul Power. The current Tang San, while his body and bloodline remained unchanged, had long since had his soul replaced. He had been possessed by a killer from another plane who was also named Tang San. (Confirmed by the original author.)
The world he had lived in during his previous life was a martial arts world. He had been raised by a sect called the Tang Sect from childhood as an outer disciple, yet he did not know gratitude. He had actually found a way to sneak into the inner sect's scripture repository and secretly study the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record contained the Tang Sect's highest internal cultivation method, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, as well as various cultivation methods and martial skills such as the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons Compendium.
Over those ten-odd years, Tang San had completely mastered its contents. Unfortunately, when he was twenty-nine, the sect's elders discovered that he, an outer disciple, had secretly learned the inner sect's supreme secret arts without anyone noticing. He was forced to the edge of a cliff. In the end, he handed over the Tang Sect's number one hidden weapon, the Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus, which he had created over the years, then leaped off the cliff to prove his resolve through death, declaring that he had not committed any act of betrayal or harm against the sect.
Although I do not know why Tang San jumped off the cliff, I find the claim that he died to prove his resolve rather laughable. In the memories of my previous life, when I saw that scene as a child, I was deeply moved. Dying to prove one's resolve—how stirring!
But as I gradually grew up and encountered more people and events, I came to see Tang San differently. The Tang Sect's number one hidden weapon, the Wrath of the Buddha Tang Lotus, took Tang San roughly ten years to create. Thinking about it carefully, that was actually quite terrifying.
The Tang Sect had countless varieties of hidden weapons, including thrown weapons and mechanical weapons. Tang San was proficient in both types, and learning them must have taken no short amount of time. Add to that the cultivation of Tang Sect Secret Techniques like Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Mysterious Jade Hand, and the time required would have been even greater.
Tang San had only been twenty-nine when he jumped off the cliff. By my estimate, he had likely begun coveting the sect's supreme secret arts at around ten years old! The sect had raised him, yet he turned around and secretly learned its cultivation methods and martial skills. Could he not have learned them through legitimate means?
Although Tang San was an outer disciple, he had displayed exceptional talent in crafting hidden weapons. As long as he performed well and made the important figures in the sect aware of him, there would always have been a way for him to advance into the inner sect. In such a massive sect, I truly do not believe outer disciples had no way of entering the inner sect!
As the women read Dai Yichen's description of Tang San, they all frowned, especially Ning Rongrong and Bibi Dong.
They all belonged to major sects and knew full well that a sect's supreme secret arts were its foundation. Secretly learning them without the approval of the higher-ups would lead to severe consequences!
Bibi Dong: So this is Tang Hao's son? Oh, no, according to Dai Yichen, this person is no longer Tang San.
Still, the term possession was quite novel. She was now rather curious—if Tang San counted as having been replaced, then Dai Yichen and Tang San both possessed memories of their previous lives. Could that also mean this Dai Yichen was not the original Dai Yichen?
P.S.: Handsome readers, you're all so cold! If you have any ideas for diary rewards, feel free to say so~~
