Tang San actually knew nothing about his own background.
In theory, when Yu Xiaogang taught Tang San, he should have told him about the strongest Martial Souls in the world and the greatest sects.
Tang San should have known that his Martial Soul was called the Clear Sky Hammer, and that it came from the Clear Sky Sect. He should also have known why the Clear Sky Sect had recently closed itself off, then connected that to his own past.
But in reality, Tang San knew none of it.
He did not know what his Martial Soul was called. He did not know anything about his family. Even now, he still believed he was only a Spirit Master who had luckily awakened innate twin Martial Souls.
He also believed his father was not some great figure, but just a lazy bum from Holy Soul Village.
Ah, no—a drunkard.
Yu Xiaogang quietly explained Tang San's identity to him.
After hearing everything, Tang San's face turned red. His breathing grew heavy, like an angry bull. His hands clenched tightly, and his ten fingers dug deep into his palms.
Blood ran down his hands and dripped onto the floor.
"Spirit Hall, if I Tang San do not wipe you out, I swear not to act as a human!"
Although Tang San had only just learned in this life that he was connected to the Clear Sky Sect, his current reaction already proved that he was a pure-blooded Clear Sky Sect member.
This special "Tang syndrome" was something only the Clear Sky bloodline could pass down by instinct.
"Teacher, we have to run quickly."
"Good, Little San. I'll take you away. Pack your things right now."
"I know a shortcut out of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan. We'll leave through there, then try to contact your father. After that, we'll escape as fast as we can."
"With your father here, we definitely won't be in danger."
Yu Xiaogang's voice was firm.
Aside from being a little unclear and oddly shrill, it was not bad.
Outside the room, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian, who were secretly listening, thought Yu Xiaogang was acting.
And that he was acting very well.
Tang San, however, thought Yu Xiaogang was speaking from the heart. He felt warmth spread through his chest.
Sensing this, the Asura God's thought inside Tang San's mind could not help cursing.
What an idiot.
If I hadn't forced out his will to live, you would have been tricked to death by him already.
If everything weren't about getting the best result for the lowest cost, I wouldn't have chosen such a fool.
Everything the Asura God did was about value for cost.
Tang San was someone he had paid a huge price to bring over from another world.
As for the other supporting characters in this world, they had already existed. Their fates had simply been different.
The Asura God only paid a price to change part of their fate.
Because of that, he could not actually control everyone's thoughts. He could only keep pushing from the shadows and slowly change destiny.
Before reaching a certain limit, the number of times he could directly interfere was very small.
Otherwise, the Asura God would not have let things shift this badly just because he looked away for a while.
Under Yu Xiaogang's guidance, Tang San packed his things.
Then, following a so-called small path, he left the mountain where the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan was located and quietly slipped out of its territory.
In Yu Luomian and Yu Yuanzhen's original plan, Yu Xiaogang would lead Tang San to another place, into a trap they had prepared ahead of time.
There, a high-level Spirit Master whose Martial Soul was not from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan would attack Tang San. Only Tang Hao would be able to deal with him.
And after Tang Hao dealt with that high-level Spirit Master, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan would step in from behind and take advantage.
As for the high-level Spirit Master being used?
Some time ago, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan had caught Shi Nian, a teacher from Canghui Academy, secretly attacking talented students from other Spirit Master academies. They used that to threaten Shi Nian into helping them.
Shi Nian's strength and Martial Soul were both good. As a spiritual-type Spirit Saint, he counted as a rare expert on the continent.
But his character and the way he had always acted made the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan lose any interest in recruiting him.
So they might as well sacrifice him.
After all, unless a Titlde Douluo made a move, spiritual-type abilities were still very hard to deal with.
Yu Xiaogang led Tang San in the direction of the original plan.
But after walking for a while, he tried to quietly move away from the set route.
Yu Luomian, who was following them from behind, frowned slightly. His disgust toward Yu Xiaogang grew even stronger.
Still, he secretly used a method to contact the experts in the clan and quietly changed the ambush location.
Just as Yu Xiaogang thought they were about to escape the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan's claws, a middle-aged man with an ugly expression blocked their path.
"Yu Xiaogang, right? The legendary waste and fake master?"
"A pig who can only fart and has no other skill?"
Shi Nian had a bad temper. The sight of Yu Xiaogang alone made him angry.
He did not even wait for Yu Xiaogang to speak before waving his hand.
"Die."
Shi Nian's Martial Soul, Brutal Dream, was a conceptual spiritual-type Martial Soul. Its quality ranked among the top-tier Martial Souls.
With his strength as a Spirit Saint, he could kill without leaving any trace.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to secretly kill so many talented students from other academies over the years and still remain at large.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan had not ordered him to avoid killing too quickly, and to make sure the two suffered before they died, Shi Nian could have crushed the current Tang San and Yu Xiaogang with just one move.
In an instant, both of them fell into a deep nightmare.
Tang San's mind returned to his previous life.
He returned to the time when he was nine years old and tried to steal the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
In the dream, he did not succeed by using his age as cover.
Instead, he was discovered on the spot.
He, an outer sect disciple, had actually dared to peek at the Tang Sect's highest forbidden secret.
Under the eyes of countless Tang Sect disciples, Tang San was stripped naked and tied to a flagpole.
Tang Lan, the outer sect elder who had raised him, held a whip and beat him without mercy, until there was not a single good piece of flesh left on his body.
After that, he was left under the burning sun for days and nights.
Every day, the Tang Sect forced him to drink all kinds of poisons and tonics, keeping him alive while making him suffer extreme pain.
After being cursed for months and tortured for months, Tang San finally breathed his last on the flagpole.
But when Tang San opened his eyes again, he found himself holding the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record once more.
The many experts of the Tang Sect stared at him coldly.
Then, amid insults and curses, he was tied to the flagpole again, whipped again, and tortured again under the poison.
