Douluo Talents Ranking, Second Place: Tang San (Part 2)!

[Tang San, who had been taken away by the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, went to Sunset Forest.]

[Why did he go to Sunset Forest?]

[Because Dugu Bo lived there.]

[After arriving at Dugu Bo's home, Tang San discovered a medicinal garden.]

[Though the medicinal garden was not large, it was filled with countless herbs. There were even more than a dozen Immortal Herbs among them!]

[The moment he saw those dozen or so Immortal Herbs, Tang San immediately understood that Dugu Bo had not recognized them. He did not know they were Immortal Herbs, much less their names or effects. After all, if Dugu Bo had known, he would have used them long ago instead of leaving them there. Nor would he have remained merely a level ninety-one Titled Douluo.]

[Thus, an idea sprang into Tang San's mind.]

[The idea went without saying.]

[How could he claim the Immortal Herbs for himself?]

[Who would not want good things? Anyone who did not would be a fool, especially Immortal Herbs—rare treasures where any single stalk could change a Soul Master's fate and send them soaring to the heavens.]

[After quite a few twists and turns, Tang San ultimately succeeded in taking every Immortal Herb from Dugu Bo's medicinal garden.]

[Tang San did not merely take all the Immortal Herbs from Dugu Bo's medicinal garden, leaving not a single one behind for Dugu Bo. He also left behind none of the ordinary herbs or precious medicinal plants, stripping the entire garden clean without even a scrap remaining.]

[In the end, Dugu Bo not only did not fly into a rage at Tang San, he even thanked him for curing both his own physical condition and that of his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.]

[Tang San did not keep all the Immortal Herbs he obtained from Dugu Bo for himself. After using three of them, he brought all the rest back to Shrek Academy and distributed them among classmates such as Dai Mubai. After consuming them, Dai Mubai and the others all entered the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking.]

Spirit City, Spirit Academy.

Watching Tang San's actions within the golden screen in the sky, Yan could not help but say, "With Immortal Herbs in hand, he still remembered his classmates. I have to say, Tang San really is a good person!"

The moment Yan finished speaking, Hu Liena beside him immediately responded, "Good my ass! You're even praising him? Do you know that if it weren't for him, we might have entered the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking!"

"Without Immortal Herbs, could Zhu Zhuqing have entered the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking? Could Dai Mubai have entered it? Could Ning Rongrong, whose Martial Soul is only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, have entered it?"

"I, Hu Liena, was born with level-nine innate soul power. My Martial Soul is the top-tier beast Martial Soul, Demon Fox, and my brother Xie Yue and I possess the powerful Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Enchantress. I am more qualified than any of those three to enter the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking!"

As she spoke, the fury on Hu Liena's face was plain to see. She was extremely displeased, and at that very moment, she wanted nothing more than to find Tang San and give him a thorough beating.

Hearing Hu Liena's words, Yan, who was secretly in love with her, immediately shut his mouth. Sensibly falling silent, he gave an awkward smile.

Heaven Dou Empire, Blazing Academy, balcony of the dean's office.

A man and a woman stood on the balcony.

The man wore fitted red battle clothes. Broad-shouldered and powerfully built, he had neat short white hair. His name was Huo Wushuang, and his Martial Soul was the beast Martial Soul Unicorn Fire Tyrannosaur.

Standing beside Huo Wushuang was his younger sister, Huo Wu. Though the two were siblings, their differences were obvious. For example, Huo Wushuang's hair was white, while Huo Wu's was red.

Huo Wu wore a one-piece combat dress. A red mark, the same color as her hair and clothing, rested on her forehead. Her brows and eyes were exceedingly resolute, her figure tall and graceful. Anyone who saw her even once would remember her deeply.

"Brother, have you noticed? That Tang San is very strange. He definitely has some unknown secret hidden on him."

As she watched the contents of the golden screen in the sky, Huo Wu spoke seriously to her brother, Huo Wushuang.

Hearing his sister Huo Wu's words, Huo Wushuang grew curious. At the same time, he instinctively asked, "Strange? What's strange about him?"

Huo Wu then gave her answer, explaining what was so unusual about Tang San.

"Brother, think about it. Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, is an old Soul Master who has lived for seventy or eighty years. Even he did not recognize those Immortal Herbs, yet Tang San, a teenager who has only walked the path of a Soul Master for seven or eight years, recognized them. Do you think that is reasonable? It is completely unreasonable, isn't it? That is why I am certain Tang San is strange. He must be hiding an unknown secret as well."

After Huo Wu finished speaking, before Huo Wushuang could say anything, the Golden Ranking revealed Tang San's great secret.

[I believe many people have a question in their hearts: how did Tang San, a mere three-ring Soul Elder, recognize Immortal Herbs that even Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, did not recognize?]

[This brings up something important.]

[What is it?]

[Tang San had lived two lives!]

[Every living being had a past life, and Tang San was no exception. Many living beings knew nothing of their past lives, but Tang San was different. He retained the memories of his past life. He knew his surname, his name, where he had lived, and what he had experienced.]

[Tang San had also been named Tang San in his past life.]

[In his past life, Tang San had been an outer disciple of the Western Shu Tang Sect, as well as a once-in-several-centuries prodigy of the Western Shu Tang Sect.]

[The Western Shu Tang Sect was a power renowned throughout Western Shu for hidden weapons and poison arts. Tang San learned many things within the Western Shu Tang Sect.]

[For example, the movement technique Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, the hand-training technique Mysterious Jade Hands, the grappling technique Crane Capture Dragon, the eye-training technique Purple Demon Eyes, the internal cultivation method Mysterious Heaven Skill, and the hidden weapon techniques in the Hidden Weapons Compendium.]

[Everything Tang San learned above had been stolen knowledge. The Western Shu Tang Sect had never permitted him to learn it, and an outer disciple of the Western Shu Tang Sect would never have been qualified to learn those secret arts that were not passed on to outsiders.]

[Aside from those secret arts, Tang San also learned much other knowledge while he was in the Western Shu Tang Sect, including knowledge of herbs.]

[Because he had learned about herbs, Tang San could recognize the Immortal Herbs in Dugu Bo's medicinal garden that Dugu Bo himself did not recognize.]

[Later, Tang San's theft of the sect's secret arts was discovered and exposed, and he was hunted down by the sect elders. To prove that he had not leaked the sect's stolen secret arts or passed them on to outsiders, Tang San leaped from the towering Ghost Sorrow and ultimately died by suicide.]

[When he woke again, Tang San found that he had become a swaddled infant and arrived in a brand-new world where Martial Souls and Soul Masters were the mainstream of the era: Douluo Continent.]

[Tang San had cultivated the secret arts of his past-life sect since childhood. This made his physical body stronger than Soul Masters of the same age and realm, which was also why his third soul ring could be two thousand years old.]

After the majestic, imposing voice entered the ears of the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao, a thought could not help but surface in his mind.

His son Tang San had lived two lives?

Then was he still his son?

PS: Everyone, think about what opportunities Bibi Dong and Tang San should receive.
