Compared with the trouble facing Asura God in the Divine Realm, Tang San in the lower realm had run into plenty of trouble of his own.
The trouble stemmed from his Mysterious Heaven Skill, a secret manual from another world.
It could let someone who should have had only Innate Soul Power of level five awaken with Innate Full Soul Power. That was undoubtedly a top-tier manual.
In the VIP seats in the audience stands.
Qian Renxue stared at Tang San. Thinking of the information she had received, she couldn't help murmuring to herself:
"This Tang San should be the chosen protagonist, right? After all, how could Blue Silver Grass give him Innate Full Soul Power?"
Qian Renxue wasn't the only one who thought so. Flender had come to the same conclusion.
"Little San must be the protagonist. Otherwise, Blue Silver Grass couldn't possibly give him such high Soul Power. He must have cultivated a secret manual from another world."
After Liu Erlong's reminder, Yu Xiaogang suddenly saw the light.
Only Yu Xiaogang still had some doubts. Tang San had Twin Martial Souls, with a Clear Sky Hammer as his other Martial Soul. It was perfectly normal for him to have Innate Full Soul Power.
But that also proved his theory wrong. Tang San just happened to have Twin Martial Souls; that wasn't why he had Innate Full Soul Power.
On the arena, Tang Hao looked grave:
"It's over. Now that this has been exposed, Tang San hasn't even grown up yet. What if people covet the secret manual from another world?"
Because it wasn't just other people—even he himself wanted to cultivate the secret manual from another world and improve his strength.
Across from him, Feng Xiaotian of Godwind Academy and the others all watched Tang San.
Feng Xiaotian was especially eager as he asked:
"Brother Tang San, do you really have a cultivation manual from another world? Can it let you cultivate to Innate Full Soul Power?"
The people behind him began discussing it among themselves.
"No wonder he had Innate Full Soul Power at such a young age and became a Soul Elder so young. Turns out he has a secret manual from another world."
"He's so lucky. If I had a secret manual from another world, I might be a Soul Ancestor by now, and could even have become a Soul King."
As they talked, everyone fixed their eyes on Tang San, longing plain in each of their gazes.
"Damn it."
Tang San felt as if a mountain of pressure had landed on him. With so many covetous gazes on him, he couldn't handle it.
Even with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Shrek Academy backing him, they couldn't shield him from the greedy eyes of countless people across the world.
"Little San, do you really have a secret manual from another world?"
Dai Mubai asked with concern.
On the surface, he seemed to be concerned about Tang San, but he was hiding his own little agenda. Who wouldn't want to learn the Mysterious Heaven Skill?
Oscar and Ma Hongjun were both tempted, too.
Beside them, Ning Rongrong suddenly saw the light:
"I remember now. Your hands turn green, you have that special movement technique, and your Hidden Weapon skills. Could all of those be secrets from another world?"
At her words, those nearby who were concerned about Tang San, and those who knew him well, all realized she might be right.
Tang San seemed to have quite a few secret manuals.
"..."
Now the pressure on him was even greater.
In the sky, the Live Broadcast Room began its broadcast.
[Tang San came from the Tang Sect in another world and had always firmly believed in the Tang Sect's rules: those who were not Tang Sect disciples could not be taught the Tang Sect's secrets, and ordinary people had no right to join the Tang Sect.]
[Even his master and his father were not qualified to learn the Tang Sect's secrets. Those were the Tang Sect's rules.]
At these words, most people were disappointed, including the members of the Shrek Seven Devils.
They had thought that given their relationship with Tang San, perhaps they could learn his secrets and improve their strength.
But even Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao weren't qualified to learn the Tang Sect's secrets, so there was even less hope for them.
Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang were both very disappointed.
They were his father and master, yet in Tang San's eyes, they weren't qualified to learn the Tang Sect's secrets. Of course they were displeased.
What an unfilial descendant.
Tang San looked regretful.
"Boss Dai, it's not that I'm unwilling to teach you. Those are all the Tang Sect's rules. I belong to the Tang Sect, and even though I'm in another world now, I still have to abide by its rules."
But more than that, the Mysterious Heaven Skill—and the Tang Sect's secrets in general—were his only advantage. If he told everyone about them, what advantage would he have left?
Besides, the Sky Screen had already said that his Innate Soul Power wasn't high, and that he owed it all to the Mysterious Heaven Skill. That made it all the more important that he not teach anyone else.
Parallel Universe.
God of Destruction was about to speak, but Asura God jumped in first to sing his praises:
"When it comes to cultivation methods, we have to mention the Heavenly Emperor's Dou Qi Method. It utterly outclasses the Tang Sect's secrets."
"..."
God of Destruction was genuinely speechless. He couldn't even get a chance to suck up to him.
"Hahaha... Tang San's Tang Sect secrets were indeed very powerful. They gave me quite a bit of trouble back then."
Ye Tianyun laughed heartily. He praised the Tang Sect's secrets, but in truth, he had never taken them seriously.
Beside him, Zhu Zhuqing, who knew Ye Tianyun very well, couldn't help twitching her lips.
Had Tang San really given Ye Tianyun trouble back then? As she remembered it, Ye Tianyun had crushed him the whole time, beating Tang San until he was howling.
The Live Broadcast Room continued its broadcast.
[Speaking of the Tang Sect's secrets, we have to talk about the Tang Sect itself, one of the most underhanded sects in another world. It excelled at Hidden Weapons and poison, and claimed to possess the world's best Hidden Weapons and the most potent poisons.]
????
Tang San's face instantly stiffened.
Was there really any need to introduce them like that?
The Tang Sect had indeed been a little underhanded and despicable in that other world, but it had still been one of the strongest sects there.
The people from Shrek Academy nearby gave him strange looks. No wonder Tang San liked using poison and was so good with Hidden Weapons. That was how the Tang Sect operated.
It was even known as the most underhanded sect.
Tang San coughed and took the initiative to defend himself:
"In our world, the Tang Sect was one of the strongest sects."
Everyone suddenly understood. It might have been a little despicable, but the Tang Sect had the strength to become one of the strongest sects.
[Let's continue with Tang San: how did he obtain the Tang Sect's secrets?]
Damn.
Tang San's face grew even more unsightly. This was clearly a slap in the face, exposing his scandal in front of everyone.
Did the Live Broadcast Room really need to explain how he obtained the Tang Sect's secrets? He remembered it all too clearly. If they said it out loud, he'd lose even his underwear.
Ye Tianyun saw what the Live Broadcast Room was showing and couldn't help laughing.
"Not bad. Tang San's about to get into trouble."
Asura God knew Tang San well. He nodded in agreement. Tang San really was about to suffer a terrible fate, getting exposed in front of everyone.
An image soon appeared in the Live Broadcast Room.
It showed Tang San's face from his previous life, and the Live Broadcast Room thoughtfully added a caption for him.
Tang San, an outer sect disciple of the Tang Sect.
At that moment, Tang San was crossing one courtyard after another under the pitch-black night sky, sneaking into the Inner Sect Library.
[In his previous life, Tang San had been an outer sect disciple of the Tang Sect. According to the Tang Sect's rules, he hadn't earned enough merits and wasn't qualified to learn the Tang Sect's core secret manual, the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.]
[But Tang San had no intention of following the Tang Sect's rules. He didn't want to waste time contributing to the sect and accumulating sect merits so he could join the Tang Sect's inner sect. Instead, he planned to take a shortcut.]
Douluo Main Timeline.
The various people watching heard the Live Broadcast Room's explanation, then took another look at Tang San's night clothes. They instantly guessed what Tang San was up to, and every one of them was thunderstruck.
