Taking Stock of the Pure and Noble Tang Buddha

[After Tang San's death, his soul did not disperse. Instead, it drifted into another world!]

[This world was known as—Douluo Continent!]

[After arriving on Douluo Continent, Tang San, carrying the memories of his previous life, began cultivating the Tang Sect's supreme art, the Mysterious Heaven Skill, from an early age.]

[Day after day, he honed his unique hidden-weapon techniques without ever slacking off.]

[Though only six years old, he could already scale sheer cliff faces with ease.]

[In this life, he was still called Tang San and depended on his father, who drank himself senseless all day long.]

[Apart from demanding money for food and alcohol, this father scarcely ever concerned himself with the child's life.]

[It was more as though Tang San had been caring for his father, rather than being cared for by him.]

[On Douluo Continent, every child could awaken a Martial Soul upon reaching the age of six.]

[The Martial Soul Tang San awakened was the widely known useless Martial Soul—the Blue Silver Grass.]

[Unexpectedly, in stark contrast to that useless Martial Soul, he possessed full-level Innate Soul Power.]

[Innate Full Soul Power had always been the mark of a peerless genius.]

[Such contradictory traits gathered in one person left even the Spirit Hall official responsible for testing utterly confused.]

[Only Tang San knew perfectly well that all of this Soul Power came from his early cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.]

[As for how much Innate Soul Power he truly possessed, even he had no way of knowing.]

[After returning home, Tang San revealed the secret of his Twin Martial Souls to his father.]

[Besides the Blue Silver Grass, the other Martial Soul was a seemingly tiny iron hammer that weighed a hundred jin.]

[Tang Hao, who had originally dismissed the Blue Silver Grass with contempt, immediately found it hard to contain his excitement upon seeing the hammer Martial Soul.]

[He at once ordered Tang San to keep the secret of his Twin Martial Souls strictly hidden. At the same time, he changed his former attitude and agreed to send him to school for training.]

This father of his...

That kind of blatant favoritism was really a bit hypocritical.

Could Tang San really not be your biological son?

When you heard that your son had awakened a useless Martial Soul, you looked ready to give up on him.

Yet the instant you learned he had Twin Martial Souls, your face changed completely!

That blazing look in your eyes seemed to place all the hopes of your life upon your son!

Could it be that one was unworthy of being your son if one lacked talent, and only exceptional gifts could earn your favor?

Douluo World—

Everyone was stunned. None of them had expected Tang San to come from another world!

Tang Hao looked toward Tang San's distant figure, his expression impossibly complicated.

As a Title Douluo, he had long noticed the many abnormalities Tang San had shown in childhood.

Though he had harbored doubts, Tang San had always served him devotedly.

In the end, Tang Hao had merely assumed that Tang San had been naturally intelligent.

Who could have imagined it?

The soul inhabiting that body was actually from another world!

Should this be counted as his son, or a strange passerby?

Tang San's greatest secret had now been laid bare before the public.

Though he felt uncomfortable, he had expected this much already.

Since the Light Screen intended to display the paths of all living beings,

and since he had already ascended to godhood, what did being a transmigrator matter?

At most, it would leave his parents with a lingering grievance.

Compared with a leap in strength, such trivial matters were not worth mentioning at all!

[After Tang San learned basic forging techniques from Tang Hao, he followed the old village chief to the academy to study.]

[Who would have expected that they would run into trouble from the gatekeeper the moment they arrived at the academy entrance?]

[As the saying went, it was easy to meet the King of Hell but hard to deal with his underlings. The gatekeeper's reason for demanding a bribe was that the old village chief had not paid the entrance fee.]

[Such an unspoken rule had long become common practice.]

[Yet the old village chief was upright and unyielding. He insisted on paying not a single coin and even threatened to report the matter to Spirit Hall.]

[The gatekeeper flew into a rage from humiliation and insulted Holy Soul Village.]

[The old village chief erupted in anger, stepping forward to confront the gatekeeper with his eyes wide!]

[Growing increasingly impatient, the gatekeeper reached out, intending to shove the old man away and drive them off.]

[A cold glint flashed through Tang San's eyes as a brand-new Sleeve Arrow silently slid into his palm.]

[He then used a clever application of force to knock the gatekeeper backward.]

[Just as the gatekeeper prepared to step forward again, the hidden weapon in Tang San's hand was poised to strike!]

[In Tang San's view, the gatekeeper's disrespect toward an elder like Old Jack, coupled with his earlier harsh words, had already earned him a death sentence!]

[He was even completely certain that, even if the gatekeeper died, no one would suspect him.]

[No one would be able to detect his movements either!]

[Fortunately, a man named Grandmaster appeared in time. He stopped the gatekeeper's harassment and saved the gatekeeper's life as well.]

The audiences of countless worlds were dumbfounded.

No, wait.

He cursed a few times and tried to shove the village chief, but did not even manage to do it.

And that earned him a death sentence?

Wasn't that far too extreme?

Martial Movement World—

Lin Dong stared at Tang San's figure in the Light Screen with a subtle expression.

He had thought his own reckless temperament was already rare in this world.

He had always believed that if one could fight, there was no need to waste words.

Who would have thought there was someone even more formidable?

This Child of Destiny named Tang San truly opened his eyes!

He was only six years old...

Even if he had been reborn with the memories of a previous life,

this body was ultimately still that of a six-year-old child!

The other party had merely insulted the village chief a few times and made a show of trying to push him, without actually laying a hand on him.

Such behavior was certainly detestable, but would a slight punishment not have been enough?

Yet he directly declared that the man had earned a death sentence...

More frighteningly, he truly intended to take the man's life. It was not merely anger in his heart!

Such a violent temperament surpassed even mine!

With such character and cultivation,

was he truly worthy of the title Child of Destiny? Could he be the holy son carefully nurtured by some evil cult instead?

Who would want to kill someone over a mere verbal dispute?

Such conduct had always been the specialty of villains, yet you were clearly a chosen son of destiny!

If you truly were an evil man,

then after secretly learning the Tang Sect's supreme arts, you would not have leaped from the cliff to prove your resolve.

Nor would you later have served your alcoholic father so devotedly, would you?

Battle Through the Heavens World—

"This person... why does he feel somewhat contradictory?"

Xiao Yan muttered while stroking his chin.

"If you call him righteous, that does not seem quite right. But if you call him a villain... he insists on finding himself a proper justification before doing something bad."

"Isn't that far too awkward?"

Xiao Yan examined this newly arrived Child of Destiny.

He felt that Tang San was simply not the same kind of person as him.

Still, they had only just become acquainted.

Perhaps after spending more time together, he might discover something new?

Besides, Tang San might have been a reborn person, but he was only six years old now.

As someone who had also been reborn, Xiao Yan understood this perfectly well:

Even with the memories of a previous life, one could not entirely maintain an adult mentality while living day to day.

Whatever age the body was, one's thoughts would inevitably lean in that direction.

Wasn't Xiao Yan himself the same?

He had already been a working adult in his previous life.

Yet when he first arrived on the Dou Qi Continent, had he not gradually been steeped in its customs and way of life?

By now, he had nearly forgotten that he was a transmigrator at all.

Therefore, Tang San's current actions were not entirely impossible to understand.

Douluo Continent—

At this moment, the others from Shrek were too shocked to speak.

They could never have imagined that Tang San used to be like this!

All along, what he had shown everyone

was the image of an almost perfect benevolent man: composed in manner and concerned for his country and people.

He had even once fought to protect Heaven Dou and uphold justice in the world, leading the great sects to resolutely declare war on Spirit Hall!

Yet such a person

had actually been so ruthless and vicious in his youth?
