The peerless techniques of the Tang Sect in another world—the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record—contained roughly six types of cultivation methods...

Aside from Hidden Weapons and the inner cultivation method, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Tang San most often used the Purple Demon Eye, Mysterious Jade Hand, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

He also used Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon from time to time.

Besides the techniques from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, he was also skilled at using poison.

Because Tang San possessed techniques from his previous life, he had repeatedly escaped danger, making him someone born with a Golden Finger.

Naturally, Wang Xiao knew Tang San's past and future like the back of his hand, unless the plot failed to follow the Douluo original book.

Otherwise, there would be no deviations. That was simply how it was.

In the end, Tang San fulfilled his wish by establishing the Tang Sect on Douluo Continent and becoming the Asura God.

But then again.

Since Wang Xiao had transmigrated to Douluo Continent and entered the original storyline, things definitely would not continue developing as they had in the original book.

Wang Xiao could not possibly follow the plot either. He was bound to change the course of certain events—that was inevitable.

Either way, there were only two possible outcomes.

Either Tang San would be the protagonist, or he would.

Wang Xiao definitely had no desire to be a supporting character. If he wanted to be the protagonist, he had to stay one step ahead of the original protagonist at all times and seize the initiative. That was the only hard truth.

There were also plenty of lolis, beauties, and other exceptional girls waiting for him to pursue.

No matter who transmigrated here, they probably would not be willing to resign themselves to becoming a supporting character.

It was only human nature.

Tang San suddenly put down his hammer. He sensed someone outside.

He turned toward the courtyard gate, his gaze sharp—nothing like that of a five-year-old child.

Of course, mentally, he was not a child.

Naturally, he was more vigilant than children his age when facing danger.

As it happened, Wang Xiao was no child either.

He was also a young transmigrator, so Tang San's sharp gaze did not intimidate him in the slightest.

Instead, he pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in with a grin. "Um, you're Tang San, right?"

"You... are?" Tang San looked the newcomer up and down. They were about the same age, though this boy was fatter than him.

He had never seen him before and had no idea who he was or why he had come looking for him.

Naturally, he did not give him a friendly expression.

Mm, the good show was only just beginning!

"Oh." Wang Xiao smiled, resting a hand on Tang San's shoulder before speaking slowly. "My name is Wang Xiao. I'm the distant cousin of Pang Ergou, who lives at the end of the village."

"I heard from Er Gouzi that there was a child in the village named Tang San who could forge iron, so I came specifically to see whether it was true. Sure enough, it was!"

"Mm." Tang San scratched his head. He did know Pang Ergou, a mischievous little boy one or two months younger than himself.

But he had no idea Pang Ergou had such a cousin. In any case, he had never seen him before. "Hello! I'm Tang San. Welcome to Holy Spirit Village as a guest."

"You're too polite!" Wang Xiao waved his hand and turned to leave.

Tang San froze for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. Er Gouzi's cousin really came in a hurry and left in a hurry!

"Ding, congratulations! You have successfully signed in at Holy Spirit Village. Reward: one Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart! It will be delivered shortly. Please check it carefully."

The Loli Voice System said.

The Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart???

Wasn't that the divine heart belonging to Bi Gan, the Grand Tutor from Investiture of the Gods?

Wang Xiao felt a little afraid. How exactly was he supposed to use this Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart? Would he have to remove his original heart and replace it with this one?

That would hurt terribly.

Just thinking about it made him shudder.

Legend had it that the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart was called that because it had seven holes within it.

It could communicate with all things and allow one's eyes to break through every illusion technique.

Wang Xiao thought to himself that if replacing his heart did not hurt, then with such a divine heart, would his Internal Force be even stronger than the Internal Force Tang San cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Skill?

If so, could he perhaps achieve Innate Full Soul Power?

No wonder the Support System had said earlier that signing in at Holy Spirit Village might give him a chance to obtain Innate Full Soul Power. So that was what it meant.

Whoosh~

At that moment, something red drifted over from afar and burrowed into Wang Xiao's heart.

Then it fused with his heart, becoming a heart with seven holes.

"I have a Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart!" Wang Xiao shouted.

Of course, he did not shout it out loud.

Otherwise, what would others think?

Especially Tang San—he was no pushover.

If Tang San found out, wouldn't he become wary of him?

Wang Xiao discovered that after gaining a Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, his entire body felt pleasantly warm.

It was as if he had endless strength, brimming with vigor.

He took off toward the woods, crossing mountain after mountain as though walking on level ground, swift as the wind.

He traveled back and forth through the mountain forests for dozens of kilometers without his heart racing or his breath growing uneven, not tired in the slightest.

Over the following days, Wang Xiao did nothing but train every day—running, exercising, and more training.

A month passed like this, and Wang Xiao finally completed his transformation. He went from a little fatty to a successfully slimmed-down young handsome boy.

Wang Xiao was delighted. Looking himself over in the mirror, he felt that now that he had lost weight, his looks surpassed the current Tang San by more than ten streets.

Of course, being more handsome than Tang San now did not mean he would remain more handsome than him in the future.

As the saying went, girls changed drastically as they grew up, and boys could change just as much.

Not to mention that Tang San would inherit the Blue Silver Emperor, undergoing a complete transformation in appearance and becoming even more handsome.

Wang Xiao felt quite a bit of pressure. If he wanted to surpass Tang San in the future, he would have to keep working hard.

At present, Tang San's starting line was still slightly ahead of his.

If he did not want to lose at the starting line, then aside from the Support System's help, he also had to train even harder.

As far as Wang Xiao knew, Tang San's training mainly consisted of three things.

Climbing mountains to train his body, cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill to increase his Internal Force, and blacksmithing to build stamina and hammer-wielding skill.

After all, one of his martial souls was a hammer. If he did not train, how was he supposed to use a hammer to conquer the world?

So Wang Xiao also laid out a training regimen for himself.

He would rise early to run through the mountain forests.

He would swim, going back and forth upstream in the little river in the village.

He would practice boxing beneath mountain waterfalls.

Lift stones.

Punch sandbags.

Strike wooden dummies.

Run alongside beasts.

Climb trees, and so on...

After giving it some thought, Wang Xiao decided that he should also learn blacksmithing like Tang San.

His martial soul was a hammer as well.

Wang Xiao had obtained the Thunder God Hammer martial soul when he signed in at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so he needed to forge iron to train his skills too.

After another month had passed, Wang Xiao returned to Tang San's home.

Before he even got close to the house, he heard the sound of hammering coming from the courtyard.

Wang Xiao steadied himself. There was no need to ask—it had to be Tang San forging iron again.

Or perhaps Tang Hao, but judging from the strength and speed, Wang Xiao did not think it was Tang Hao.

It was Tang San.

This time, Wang Xiao did not spy on him, nor did he stand on ceremony. He pushed the door open and walked right in.

Both of them were transmigrators. It seemed Tang San was working hard too!

The sound Wang Xiao made upon entering immediately alerted Tang San, who was forging iron. Tang San turned his head to look over.

Wang Xiao grinned and said, "Little San, long time no see!"

"You... who are you?" Tang San did not recognize Wang Xiao when he saw him again.

Wang Xiao felt a little proud, and he could not blame Tang San for failing to recognize him.

A month ago, when he had appeared before Tang San, he had been a little fatty.

Now that he had successfully lost weight, he was already a slender young handsome boy. It would be strange if Tang San could recognize him.

"Little San really does forget things when he has so many important people to meet," Wang Xiao said with a deliberately exaggerated sigh.

"A month ago, right here, didn't we meet once and exchange names?"

"Oh." Tang San thought back and remembered that something like that had indeed happened.

As a transmigrator—and still young—he had an excellent memory.

He sized Wang Xiao up for a while before finally remembering.

"So it was you. But Brother Wang Xiao, I remember you used to be..."

"Really fat... How did you suddenly..."

"I lost weight!" Wang Xiao cut Tang San off before he could finish.

"Over the past month, I worked hard to lose weight every day, so I slimmed down!"

Tang San nodded. "I see. Brother Wang Xiao, you're amazing!"

"Of course." Wang Xiao smiled proudly. "Little San, learn more from your brother from now on, got it?"

Tang San's eyes widened, not knowing what to say, but in the end, he still nodded in agreement.

In that respect, Tang San had done fairly well.

At the very least, he was not an arrogant and rude fellow.

Even so, Wang Xiao would not soften his heart, nor would he give up his right to replace Tang San as the protagonist.
