In his previous life, Tang Shan was not only an avid rock climbing enthusiast, but also a die-hard fan of Douluo Continent.

Especially the animated version, Tangshan watched almost every episode on time, knew the plot by heart, and was very familiar with the characters.

Tang Shan never expected that one day he would be reborn into this world and become the once-famous Tang San on the screen.

"Why!!!"

Thinking of this, Tang San, leaning against the door frame, let out a long sigh, his voice filled with unspeakable helplessness.

Getting the lead role should have been a wonderful thing, but Tang San was anything but happy.

In the original novel, Tang San was reborn with Tang Sect techniques and a hundred solutions to hidden weapons. He could easily master various unique skills such as Xuan Tian Gong, Xuan Yu Shou, Zi Ji Mo Tong, Gui Ying Mi Zong, and Kong He Qin Long. His numerous cheat codes were beyond the reach of others.

But what about himself? He had nothing. Even the system that had helped him seize the body had vanished completely after using up its last bit of energy, leaving not even a trace.

Not only that, the dog system also left three life-and-death contracts within its body, which must be fulfilled, or else everything will perish.

Currently, Tang San can only see the contents of the first contract:

[Contract 1: Achieve the agreement to become Yu Xiaogang's apprentice.]

Whenever Tang San thought about this, he felt a wave of nausea. In his previous life, when he read Douluo Continent, this was the character he hated the most.

Yu Xiaogang stole the unpublished research results of the Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, crudely packaged them, and claimed them as his own, shamelessly crowning himself with the title of "Master".

The line, "There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters," almost made Tang San give up on the show. Wasn't Yu Xiaogang basically calling himself useless?

In the original story, Tang San eventually realized his mistake and stopped cultivating according to Yu Xiaogang's theories. Yet, Yu Xiaogang still had the audacity to say, "I didn't disgrace my family; I nurtured a god." It was utterly disgusting!

The idea that Tang San must become the disciple of this shameless and useless person is a million times more disgusting than eating rat droppings.

But if he doesn't finish, he will die.

Licking was out of the question, but for the sake of his own life, Tang San silently thought: Life is like a play, so when the time comes, it all comes down to acting skills!

A bitter smile appeared on Tang San's face. "Damn system, trash system, even after being reborn, it won't let me have an easy time."

Just as Tang San was sitting on the threshold sighing, the snoring in the inner room stopped, and heavy footsteps came from inside.

Tang Hao walked out of the inner room, his tall body swaying unsteadily, and a strong smell of alcohol wafted over.

Tang Hao was disheveled, with messy hair, thick stubble, and bloodshot eyes. He looked listless and like a down-on-his-luck drunkard.

Who would have thought that this extremely slovenly man was actually a Title Douluo?

Tang San felt a mix of emotions as he looked at Tang Hao.

In his past life, when he read Douluo Continent, he was filled with admiration for Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo.

That was a peerless powerhouse who carried a speaker and fought against the Spirit Hall alone with a hammer. How awe-inspiring and heroic he must have been!

But now, seeing it with my own eyes, all that remains is a feeling of utter helplessness.

Tang San had tried it before.

For more than a year, Tang San tried every possible way to "awaken" this super fighter.

Tang San tried to reason with Tang Hao when he was sober, tried to close the distance with a child's unique way, and even tried to play the victim by deliberately falling down, to see if this father still had a trace of heartache.

Each time, Tang Hao would only glance at Tang San with hazy, drunken eyes, then continue drinking or spacing out, as if this three-year-old child had nothing to do with him.

What's even more outrageous is that ever since he discovered that Tang San could think independently and do things on his own, Tang Hao has stopped cooking altogether.

At first, Tang San was just a toddler under two years old, unable to even reach the stove.

Several times, Tang San was so hungry that his vision blurred, and he could only crawl to the door of Old Jack's house in the village, barely surviving on the little food that Old Jack kindly gave him.

Tang San still feels like it was a nightmare when he thinks back on it; he almost starved to death in the blacksmith shop several times.

The main character almost starved to death in his own house. Who would believe that?

Although Tang San is now three years old, he is very thin and weak, with arms as thin as sticks and a sallow complexion, looking severely malnourished.

The other children in the village were all much stronger than Tang San, and Tang San would be out of breath after walking just a few steps.

Whenever Tang San thought of this, he felt that if Tang Hao were in his previous life, he could have been convicted of child abuse, and given the maximum penalty.

"Sigh." Tang San sighed inwardly again.

It now seems that Tang Hao's heart was buried along with Ah Yin's death, and all that remains is a walking corpse.

In this world where strength reigns supreme, perhaps only when Tang San awakens his twin martial souls and possesses innate full soul power can he barely pull Tang Hao out of that quagmire.

Gradually, Tang San completely gave up on relying on Tang Hao. Rather than pinning his hopes on a drunkard, he decided to rely on himself.

Now, Tang San places all his hopes on the awakening of his martial soul three years from now, which will be the first turning point in Tang San's fate.

Tang San had watched Douluo Continent several times in his previous life and knew the plot very well.

To successfully become Yu Xiaogang's apprentice, one must first gain Yu Xiaogang's favor.

Tang San knew Yu Xiaogang's temperament all too well.

Although Yu Xiaogang calls himself a "master" and claims that "there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters," his standards for accepting disciples are a stark contrast to his own claims, revealing a very realistic reality.

In the original novel, Yu Xiaogang took Tang San as his disciple simply because he valued Tang San's twin martial souls and innate full soul power. He felt that Tang San was a material that could verify his martial soul theory and a tool to clear his name of being a good-for-nothing.

Therefore, if you want Yu Xiaogang to take you on as his apprentice, you must be exceptionally talented.

Tang San felt that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should still possess twin martial souls: the Clear Sky Hammer in his left hand and Blue Silver Grass in his right. Tang San was quite confident about this, as it was determined by his bloodline.

However, Tang San was really unsure about the fact that he was born with full soul power.

In the original story, Tang San cultivated the Xuan Tian Gong from a young age, accumulating internal strength day by day, which is why he reached the level of innate full soul power when his martial soul awakened.

But what about himself now? Forget about the Mysterious Heaven Skill, he doesn't even know the most basic breathing techniques. Moreover, this body is thin and weak, malnourished, and deficient in both qi and blood. He doesn't look like someone who could possess innate full soul power at all.

Without top-tier talent, Yu Xiaogang would never have accepted him as a disciple.

Although Tang San desperately didn't want to become Yu Xiaogang's disciple, what could he do? Tang San didn't want to die!

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it too much," Tang San shook his head. "Let's focus on living our lives well first."

There are still three years until Tang San awakens his martial soul. In these three years, Tang San must find a way to heal his body.

At the same time, Tang San also needed to start laying the foundation for his future cultivation. Although there were no special techniques to practice, Tang San knew that the body was the foundation of everything.
