"What kind of identity is that?!"

As he murmured to himself, Tang Hao's brows furrowed deeply.

What identity could be more important than being someone with Innate Full Soul Power, Twin Martial Souls, the son of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, and the son of Clear Sky Douluo?

Tang Hao was utterly baffled.

Tang Hao was curious!

Besides Tang Hao, everyone else on the continent was also extremely curious.

"Four identities, and not a single one is simple!"

"To be honest, any one of Tang San's identities would be the pinnacle of most of our lives."

"Why was he called Tang San? Wouldn't Tang Chuan be better? Isn't the nickname Little Chuan much nicer than Xiao San?"

The people of the continent discussed fervently, with most of their conversation revolving around Tang San.

And as they talked, that dignified, imposing voice slowly revealed Tang San's most important identity.

Ever since I was born, I had a secret.

That secret had, from beginning to end, been known only to myself.

Even after I became the Supreme God, no one else knew.

My father, my mother, and my lover all knew nothing! Even my two children, whom I had later in life, did not know my earth-shattering secret!

The secret was simple and easy to understand.

I, Tang San, had lived two lives!

In this life, I had possessed the memories of my previous life from the moment I was born!

My name was Tang San. I was both Tang San of Douluo Continent and Tang San of Western Shu Tang Sect. Though I belonged to this world, I did not belong solely to this world.

In my previous life, I was an orphan without a father or mother.

When I was very, very young, I was taken in by Elder Lan.

After Elder Lan adopted me, I joined Western Shu Tang Sect.

Western Shu Tang Sect was a martial arts force. It was divided into the Outer Sect and the Inner Sect. The Outer Sect consisted of disciples granted the Tang surname, while the Inner Sect belonged to the Tang Sect's direct lineage. Because I had been adopted, I became an Outer Sect disciple of the Tang Sect.

The Tang Sect excelled in two areas.

First, hidden weapons!

The Tang Sect's hidden weapons were unmatched under heaven!

Second, poison!

The Tang Sect's deadly poisons were infamous far and wide!

In the outside world, the various sects avoided Tang Sect members at all costs because of the Tang Sect's hidden weapons and poisons, which killed without leaving a trace.

Star Dou Great Forest, core region, Lake of Life.

"Lived two lives?!"

"Does that mean Third Brother is also more than twelve years old, just like me?!"

As her pink eyes stared fixedly at the Light Screen in the sky, Xiao Wu parted her delicate lips and murmured in disbelief.

After a long journey, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo finally arrived at the outer region of Star Dou Great Forest. Upon hearing that dignified, imposing voice, he fixed his gaze on the Light Screen.

"Poisons infamous far and wide?"

"I wonder if they possess even a tenth or twentieth of my skill."

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo spoke with great interest on his face.

Along with his interest, Dugu Bo's face also carried pride and confidence.

Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, Dugu Bo might not have been the strongest in terms of power, but when it came to poison, if he claimed second place, no one would dare claim first! Though he did not know how powerful Western Shu Tang Sect's poisons were, Dugu Bo was certain they could not possibly surpass his own!

Dugu Bo's poisons truly were formidable.

If there were a top ten Talent Ranking, he would definitely rank first!

After all, it took real skill to poison himself while using poison, poison his descendants as well, and then be unable to cure them!

Lu Chen vaguely remembered that, in the Douluo manga, Dugu Bo's wife, son, and daughter-in-law all seemed to have lost their lives because of his poison.

"He had memories of his previous life from birth?"

"Then is he still my son?"

As he looked at the Light Screen in the sky, Tang Hao fell into deep thought over this question.

From the perspective of flesh and blood?

Tang San was his son!

But in terms of soul and spirit, Tang San was not his son.

As Tang Hao pondered this, after revealing his most important identity, Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon Tang San continued recounting the events of his previous life.

I spent eighteen years in the Outer Sect.

Over those eighteen years, I learned every hidden weapon, internal art, and martial skill of the Outer Sect.

The words "there was nothing left to learn" were enough to describe me at the time.

No one wanted to stop improving, and I was no exception.

One night, I knelt before Elder Tang Lan and begged him to allow me to join the Inner Sect.

Elder Tang Lan refused my plea.

The rules?

They could not be changed!

Left with no other choice, I could only steal from the Inner Sect.

Through my efforts, I successfully stole two supreme arts of the Tang Sect: Hundred Solutions for Hidden Weapons and the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. Before leaving the Inner Sect, I knelt on the ground and bowed deeply toward it, swearing that I would never reveal even the slightest part of the stolen arts. Once I achieved mastery, I would surely repay the sect and devote my heart and soul to it until death!

Later, I learned that the reason I had succeeded in stealing the sect's supreme arts was because of Elder Tang Lan.

Without him?

I would have died in the Inner Sect!

At nineteen, I achieved minor success in the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

At twenty-two, Elder Tang Lan passed away from old age. I remained by his side until the end, and after he passed, I observed mourning for him for three years.

At twenty-nine, I had cultivated every supreme art in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record to the realm of great mastery! At the time, not a single Tang Sect disciple of my generation was my match!

Later, the sect's alarm bell rang. Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately rushed back to the sect to provide aid.

On the way, I encountered someone.

That person used the Beggars' Sect's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

After a fierce battle with him, I killed him with the Rain of Pear Blossoms Needle.

The Rain of Pear Blossoms Needle ranked second among mechanical hidden weapons! If its power were placed on Douluo Continent, it could effortlessly kill Soul Emperors and Soul Sages in an instant, and even breaking a Titled Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar would be easy!

Just after I dealt with that thief who had attacked the sect, I was discovered by Tang Sect disciples and elders.

They were all shocked that I had used the long-lost Rain of Pear Blossoms Needle of the Tang Sect.

Even now, I could not forget those pairs of furious eyes.

Instinctively, I fled.

I fled toward Hell's Peak.

After that, I jumped off the cliff to kill myself.

Before leaping to my death, I left behind two Buddha Fury Tang Lotuses as gifts for the Tang Sect that had raised me.

The Buddha Fury Tang Lotus ranked first among mechanical hidden weapons.

Back on Douluo Continent, Xiao Wu had once used two Buddha Fury Tang Lotuses to kill seventy-six Soul Sages and more than thirty Soul Douluos.

Mr. Tang Da deeply regretted my death. In me, he had seen the hope of the Tang Sect reaching its peak.

After witnessing Tang San's experiences in his previous life, the continent's Soul Masters had only four words in their minds.

Terrifying beyond measure!
