Tang San Felt a Little Uneasy

"Shu Tang Clan? What kind of place is that?"

Faced with Tang San's probing, Wang Sheng looked utterly bewildered, having no idea what Tang San meant.

But Wang Sheng was not pretending.

It was because when Ke Zhen'e had taught Wang Sheng martial arts, he had only briefly introduced his background at the very beginning. After that, he had only taught martial arts and said nothing else.

Still, Wang Sheng was not completely ignorant of the Jianghu. Ke Zhen'e had mentioned some things, though Wang Sheng had not understood much of it.

But Ke Zhen'e truly had never mentioned the Shu Tang Clan.

After all, there was no Tang Sect in the Jin Yong Wuxia World. Bai Luo had based Ke Zhen'e's background on a modified version of the Jin Yong Wuxia World, which did not include the Tang Sect.

"You've never heard of the Shu Tang Clan?"

Wang Sheng's reaction immediately stunned Tang San.

Impossible!

If Wang Sheng, like him, had come from the world of his previous life, then there was no way he would not have heard of the Shu Tang Clan. The Tang Sect was considered a first-rate sect.

Could it be that Wang Sheng was not from the world of his previous life?

Was the only reason he knew the Golden Bell Cover because this world happened to have that martial art too, making everything just a coincidence?

"You don't know the Tang Sect? Then where did you learn your Golden Bell Cover?"

Still without an answer, Tang San could not help taking a deep breath before continuing to probe.

"Is it strange that I don't know this Tang Sect you keep talking about? Of course I wasn't born knowing the Golden Bell Cover. I learned it from my teacher."

Wang Sheng could not help frowning at Tang San's constant nonsensical remarks as he spoke.

"You learned your Golden Bell Cover from your teacher?"

Tang San had not expected Wang Sheng to have a teacher behind him, nor that he had learned the Golden Bell Cover from that teacher. He was immediately taken aback, feeling that things had become even more complicated.

Wang Sheng had learned the Golden Bell Cover from his teacher, but where had his teacher learned the Golden Bell Cover?

Was everything really a coincidence?

Or was Wang Sheng's teacher, like him, reincarnated into this world from the world of his previous life? Or was there an even deeper connection behind it all?

Tang San's thoughts were in turmoil. He did not know whether getting the answer he wanted would make him happy, disappointed, or something else entirely.

"Wang Sheng, what is your teacher's name? Do you know where he comes from? I know martial arts too. Can you tell me about your teacher? Maybe I know him."

Having realized that Wang Sheng might simply be from this world and have no connection to his previous life, Tang San began sweet-talking Wang Sheng in order to get answers.

Hearing Tang San's words, Wang Sheng recalled how Tang San had recognized his Golden Bell Cover and displayed abilities in their earlier fight that resembled his own martial arts.

Since Wang Sheng had attended school and learned common knowledge about Soul Masters, he knew that on the Douluo Continent, only Self-Created Soul Skills existed. There was no such term as martial arts for Self-Created Soul Skills.

This made Wang Sheng somewhat believe Tang San. Scratching his head, he said,

"My teacher is called Ke Zhen'e. Actually, I don't know much about him either, because I only became his disciple a little over two months ago..."

As he spoke, Wang Sheng told Tang San about his encounter with Ke Zhen'e, how he had become his disciple, and everything Ke Zhen'e had said when introducing himself back then.

What! Besides Wang Sheng's teacher Ke Zhen'e, there was also someone named Chen Xuanfeng who knew martial arts?

After hearing Wang Sheng's account, Tang San was utterly shocked.

And when Ke Zhen'e claimed to be the Gang Leader of the Beggar Gang, Tang San was even more terrified!

Because in the world of Tang San's previous life, there had also been a Beggar Gang in the Jianghu. It was a top-tier sect in no way inferior to, and perhaps even surpassing, the Tang Sect.

This Ke Zhen'e was actually the Gang Leader of the Beggar Gang!

If there had only been Ke Zhen'e, Tang San might have thought that his and Ke Zhen'e's reincarnation into this world was merely an accident and coincidence.

But unfortunately, besides Ke Zhen'e, there was also someone named Chen Xuanfeng.

This inevitably made Tang San wonder whether the world of his previous life had some special connection with this world.

Perhaps that was why people who died, like himself, were reincarnated into this world.

That was what had happened to him, and perhaps the Beggar Gang's Gang Leader Ke Zhen'e and that Chen Xuanfeng had experienced the same thing.

And if he dared to think even further, perhaps someone in the world of his previous life could use some method to come directly into this world in their physical body.

The thought made Tang San even more terrified.

Because whether it was the former possibility or the latter,

both meant that the world of his previous life had some kind of connection with his current world.

If the Tang Sect elders were also reincarnated, or came directly into this world in their physical bodies, that would be disastrous!

He was an Outer Sect Disciple of the Tang Sect, yet he had stolen the Tang Sect's supreme secret manual, the Heavenly Treasure Selection Record.

That was a capital crime!

After speaking with Wang Sheng, Tang San felt filled with worry and fear, terrified that one day in the future, Tang Sect elders would come to purge him from the sect.

Still, Tang San was able to restrain the unease in his heart and showed no abnormalities on his face.

After all, none of this had become reality yet.

Even if Tang Sect elders came to this world,

the world was so vast that, as long as he was careful, perhaps he would not be discovered.

By noon, Wang Sheng led Tang San and the group of Work-study Students to the cafeteria for lunch.

At the cafeteria, Tang San met his teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

After eating, Tang San was taken to the dormitory by Master Yu Xiaogang, who asked him about his Twin Martial Souls.

When Yu Xiaogang learned that Tang San's second Martial Soul was actually the Clear Sky Hammer and that Tang San's father was named Tang Hao, he was utterly shocked.

Meanwhile, because Wang Sheng had arrived at Notting Academy a month early and submitted an application for soul hunting,

by the time school began, Notting Academy had completed the process for applying for a pass to enter the Soul Hunting Forest. Wang Sheng's application had been approved, and they planned to have Lei Hong, the homeroom teacher of Wang Sheng's sixth-year class, take Wang Sheng to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt a Soul Beast.

Since the principal of Notting Academy had happened to learn that Yu Xiaogang had accepted a new student with Innate Full Soul Power as his disciple, and that he might also be going to the Soul Hunting Forest, he informed Lei Hong and told him to ask Yu Xiaogang.

If Yu Xiaogang was also going to the Soul Hunting Forest the next day, Lei Hong was to take Yu Xiaogang along and help Yu Xiaogang's disciple hunt a suitable Soul Beast as well.

Thus, as evening approached,

after Master had taken Tang San to eat dinner in the cafeteria, Lei Hong found Yu Xiaogang. He wore purple robes and was tall and powerfully built, with thick brows, large eyes, and a rugged face. He asked,

"Master, I heard you accepted a disciple with Innate Full Soul Power. Are you taking him to the Soul Hunting Forest tomorrow to hunt a Soul Beast?"

"One of the children in my class has just cultivated to level 10 Soul Power. I've already obtained a pass to enter the Soul Hunting Forest, and I plan to take him there tomorrow to hunt a Soul Beast."

"If you're also planning to take your disciple to the Soul Hunting Forest tomorrow to hunt a Soul Beast, then we can go together."
