Exposing Tang San's Identity, the Second Martial Soul: Scapegoat!

Looking at the Gold Soul Coin in his hand, Mosheng Fei turned his right hand over, and a lump of gold appeared. The Shengfei Pen descended.

The next instant, the gold slowly transformed into a pile of Gold Soul Coins.

"That solves the Gold Soul Coin problem. With the Shengfei Pen and a Gold Soul Coin as a template, I now have an endless supply of money to squander."

"Although these Gold Soul Coins, drawn after using Touching Stone to Gold, have a time limit... once they get a certain distance away, they'll revert to their original form."

"But as long as they're Gold Soul Coins when I spend them, that's enough. Why worry about so much?"

"We'll just have to see who gets unlucky."

Holy Soul Village

Mosheng Fei cloaked himself in invisibility and used Observer to watch Tang San's martial soul awakening.

[Historical Records of the Years: Spirit Hall has branches in every corner of the continent, in every village. Each year, it awakens children's martial souls and tests their soul power free of charge...]

[Douluo Calendar, Year 2631: The demonic devil is born!]

The writing took shape as an image, and soon everything inside the Awakening Hall slowly appeared across the three worlds.

This time, however, the people shown had no faces, and even the surrounding scenery was extremely blurry.

Mosheng Fei had done this deliberately.

[Historical Records of the Years: A beastman disguised himself as a human and borrowed a human identity to undergo martial soul awakening under Spirit Hall's martial soul awakening policy.]

[Description of the beastman's appearance: Ordinary and no different from a normal person, with a face that could be described as dark and ugly.]

[Possessing innate full soul power, he used his first martial soul to conceal the existence of his second martial soul...]

The words became an image, projected across the three worlds.

Once everyone in the three worlds saw this scene, they could no longer sit still.

Douluo I World

"A damned beastman hid his identity, disguised himself as a human, and infiltrated our human world-and he even has twin martial souls...?"

"How are we supposed to distinguish beastmen from real humans?"

"This is bad! A spy has already infiltrated the human world!!!"

Inside Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy

Boom!

Tang San stared at the teacher he had just taken as his master, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San with a strange expression.

"Teacher... I really am not..."

Ten thousand grass-mud horses thundered through Tang San's mind. Why was there a second round?

Innate full soul power, twin martial souls-you might as well expose me by name!

Yu Xiaogang's expression grew complicated. He opened his mouth, just about to say something.

The next instant, the historical records in the sky revealed more.

[The beastman disguised himself as a human under the alias Tang San!]

Boom!!

Tang San's pupils contracted sharply, cold sweat instantly soaked his back, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

"Teacher, please let me explain! This could be someone with the same name!"

There was a fucking third round too!!

[Residence: West Blacksmith Shop, Holy Soul Village, Nuoding City, Fasinuo Province, Heaven Dou Empire!]

Boom!!!

It pursued him relentlessly: innate full soul power, twin martial souls, his name, and finally his empire, province, city, and village... it had even gone into the details of his street address.

Tang San was dumbstruck.

Yu Xiaogang's grip tightened around Tang San's Spirit Hall certificate. His gaze fixed on the home address listed on the martial soul certificate, on the line reading Holy Soul Village...

If his conclusion about Tang San's twin martial souls was merely a guess.

And Tang San's name was merely a coincidence.

Then this was a fucking exposure by name...

"You're the beastman crossbreed born of a human and a soul beast, the Outer Realm Demonic Devil, the Demonic Pill born six years ago???"

Gulp!!!

Tang San swallowed, clenching both fists. Without realizing it, he had already moved his right hand behind his back.

What Tang San did not know was that Yu Xiaogang was even more nervous than he was.

Thinking of Tang San's soul from beyond this realm, of his father being Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, and of how much he himself now knew... Yu Xiaogang stared at the revelations in the historical records outside the window, his heart racing.

"This is bad. I've walked into a den of thieves. Fuck... I know too much. If I don't get on board... Clear Sky Douluo is probably nearby."

"He probably wouldn't even need his martial soul to kill me. One slap would do it."

"I have to think of a way to save myself immediately!!!"

Yu Xiaogang was no fool. Simply knowing that Tang San was Tang Hao's son was already enough to give him a path to his own death if he refused to board this pirate ship.

Although so many years had passed since the feud between Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, with the Clear Sky Sect withdrawing into seclusion and Spirit Hall publicly abandoning its pursuit of Tang Hao.

Tang San's identity was different now.

Outer Realm Demonic Devil, Demonic Pill, a crossbreed between a human and a soul beast, a beastman... given the prejudices of the continent's soul masters, Tang San would never survive having his identity exposed.

And unfortunately, he happened to know about it.

He had to board this pirate ship, bind himself firmly to Tang San, and wipe Tang San's backside clean. Otherwise, he would not even know how he had died.

Yu Xiaogang was not arrogant enough to think Tang Hao would spare him merely because he was the son of a sect master from the Upper Three Sects.

After all, this was a ruthless man who had dared to hammer even the pope.

"Who besides that old man knows you came from Holy Soul Village?"

"Who besides that gatekeeper saw you enter Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy?"

"Which deacon awakened your martial soul...?"

"No, you can't use the name Tang San anymore... you're my disciple. Since you've already taken me as your master, you're as good as half my son. Don't worry, I'll arrange a new identity for you!!!"

Tang San was moved, though he did not know whether Yu Xiaogang meant what he said.

In the end, however, he did not raise the right hand hidden behind his back.

The teachers next door discussed the news in astonishment, while furious curses rang out in the corridor.

He let Yu Xiaogang rush out of the office.

Just as he was about to use Ghostly Concealment to escape, a transmitted voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"All right. You don't need to worry about this."

Yu Xiaogang hurried to the Martial Soul Shop in Nuoding City and secretly pulled strings, using the authority he had previously held in Spirit Hall.

An eleven-year-old child named Tang Yin, with Blue Silver Grass as his martial soul and level-one innate soul power, appeared out of thin air.

He had just returned to Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.

The gatekeeper, his face flushed with excitement, quickly approached him.

"Grandmaster, Grandmaster... did you hear? That child-the child who became your disciple seems to be called Tang San, and he came from Holy Soul Village! Let's report him to Spirit Hall..."

"That Outer Realm Demonic Devil invaded our Douluo World!!"

"And he's a beastman crossbreed between a human and a soul beast!!!"

Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened instantly, and cold sweat soaked his back.

"Come here. Let's discuss the details of making the report..."

Completely unsuspecting, the excited gatekeeper was lured by Yu Xiaogang into a secluded corner. His face still flushed, he kept chattering away.

"After we report the Outer Realm Demonic Devil, that beastman crossbreed, to Spirit Hall, Grandmaster, could I ask for a few more Gold Soul Coins? I want to marry three... no, five-or maybe nine... squelch!"

"Grandmaster, you...!!"

Yu Xiaogang abruptly turned. The Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist flashed, and a dagger instantly appeared, piercing the gatekeeper's chest.

"Take a deep breath. Feeling dizzy... is normal!"

"I'm sorry. You know too much. If you don't die, I might be the one who does!!"

"I can only let a fellow Daoist die rather than this poor Daoist...!!!"

Afterward, the gatekeeper was cut into several pieces and packed into the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges by Yu Xiaogang.

"The old village chief of Holy Soul Village is the only one who knows Tang San became my disciple. That old man is just an ordinary person. Dealing with him will be easy..."

"As for Spirit Hall, I can simply deny ever meeting Tang San. His new identity has already been arranged, so Tang San can live as Tang Yin... in Holy Soul Village, we can fabricate the appearance that he fled."

"As for... the Spirit Hall deacon who awakened Tang San's martial soul and gave him a recommendation to Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy... this is bad. We're both Soul Grandmasters, and although my soul ring configuration is superior, the disadvantage of my martial soul... means I can't beat him at all."

Whoosh!!!

Just then, a sharp sound of something tearing through the air rang out.

"I've already dealt with him cleanly. You needn't worry."

Yu Xiaogang turned in terror. The next instant, a tall figure entirely shrouded in a black robe appeared before him.

"You should be glad you didn't go to the Spirit Hall Branch to report my son. You prevented a great deal of bloodshed in Nuoding City."

Yu Xiaogang's face filled with fear, and his whole body began trembling uncontrollably.

"Your... Your Excellency Haotian!!!"

Tang Hao turned his back to him.

"The more dangerous a place, the safer it is. I've also cleaned everything up in Holy Soul Village and made it look as though he fled. Tell my son that from now on, he'll live as Tang Yin."

"Don't worry. You won't lose out by taking my son as your disciple."

"If the historical records continue exposing him, I'll take you both away from this place."

Yu Xiaogang sighed deeply and collapsed limply to the ground.

A golden gleam slowly appeared in his eyes.

"Those who knew Tang San existed are either dead or believe he fled..."

"We can stay at Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy!!"

"I'll prove my Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul to everyone... a deity, brought into this world by a deity... perhaps I can raise a god too!!!"

Meanwhile, only now did the true impact of Mosheng Fei's revelations about Tang San-the Outer Realm Demonic Devil, the Demonic Pill, the beastman crossbreed, his innate soul power, and his twin martial souls-begin to unfold...

Spirit Hall

"Your Holiness, a message has arrived from the Worship Hall, asking you to lead a force to exterminate the beastman and dispose of Tang Hao!"

A contemptuous smile slowly curled Bibi Dong's lips.

"Then send the platinum bishop from the Heaven Dou Empire's main hall... forget it. Send a Cardinal instead. Since we know about this, I'm sure they do too. If you find them, don't attack. If you can't, there's no need to rush. Just gather information."

Bibi Dong did not particularly hate Tang Hao or Tang San.

On the contrary, Tang Hao had severely injured Qian Xunji, giving her an opportunity to kill him, so she felt a tiny bit of goodwill toward Tang Hao.

Peerless Era

The three great empires, Shrek Academy

"Tang San-that's Sea God Tang San, our great Lord Sea God!"

"But how is that possible? Tang San is an Outer Realm Demonic Devil??"

"Then our ancestors followed Tang San to destroy Spirit Hall and overthrow the Spirit Hall Empire..."

Dragon King Era

"I'll definitely become a powerful soul master, just like Spirit Ice Douluo, Senior Huo Yuhao!!!"

"Blue Silver Grass as a martial soul, level-three innate soul power... just like Lord Sea God Tang San!"

"But Lord Sea God Tang San has twin martial souls, and innate full soul power too...!!"

"An Outer Realm Demonic Devil, carrying the supreme bloodline of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast... I'm just a child from an ordinary family. What do I have that could possibly compare to him???"
