Chapter 126: Possession and Rebirth, the So-Called Admiration of Strength!
[As for why Tang San could cultivate since childhood or why he could cook at the age of one, Tang Hao could choose not to care about such things.]
[He could even convince himself: My son is simply extraordinarily gifted, a genius born with innate knowledge!]
[Because the soul masters of this era have no concept of possession, transmigration, or rebirth. So even if Tang Hao felt that something was a little strange, he would never think in that direction.]
[As long as this person carried his blood, and as long as the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul awakened, everything else was acceptable to him.]
[After all, Tang San possessed twin martial souls. To Tang Hao, who was obsessed with revenge, this represented the hope of destroying Spirit Hall in the future.]
At this point, Lin Yuan paused for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts before continuing to write.
[As for what exactly counts as possession and what counts as rebirth, that depends on the moment when the memories return or whether this physical body belonged to you from the very beginning.]
[In my case, I, like Tang San, can also be considered a transmigrator.]
[However, there is a fundamental difference between the two of us.]
[He is a case of transmigration through possession or borrowing a corpse to return to life.]
[As for me, I was reborn into the Douluo Continent from my original world while carrying my memories. I was a fetal transmigrator.]
Seeing Lin Yuan write about possession and rebirth, many people who had already been curious and confused about this topic became even more attentive.
After all, both Lin Yuan and Tang San possessed memories from their previous lives.
If Lin Yuan claimed that Tang San had taken over someone else's body, then did that mean he himself had done the same?
[Tang San began cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill and various Tang Sect techniques at the age of one.]
[What does that indicate? It proves that he possessed memories of his previous life from the very beginning!]
[I already wrote earlier about that brutal soul beast hunting operation, when Ah Yin sacrificed herself and Tang Hao fought his way out while severely injured.]
[Under those terrifying soul power fluctuations of Titled Douluo-level, that fragile newborn infant, Tang San, could never have endured it with his original weak soul.]
[Most likely, the real infant Tang San died during the escape, or his soul dissipated entirely.]
[As for the current soul of Tang San, it was pulled over by the Asura God from the martial arts world where Tang San originally lived.]
[He occupied this body.]
[And what about me?]
[I was adopted by the old village chief of Baishi Village when I was young and grew up as a completely normal baby.]
[Only later did I gradually begin to recover the memories of my previous life and awaken the system.]
[This body belonged to me from the very beginning. My soul and body are perfectly compatible.]
[Therefore, Tang San's situation is called "a magpie occupying a crow's nest," while mine is called "awakening of innate wisdom."]
[That is also why Tang Hao initially felt suspicious of him and even felt that he had been cuckolded. That unfamiliar sensation deep within the soul cannot be faked.]
[Now that I have finished writing about the messy affairs of the Tang father and son, it is time to return to today's matter and talk about Yu Tianheng, the one I sent flying with a single spear strike.]
[Many people might think I was too ruthless toward him today, perhaps even a little cold-hearted.]
[But if they knew what Yu Tianheng would do in the original story in the future, they would feel that my strike was actually too light.]
[In the original story, Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng did indeed develop feelings for each other. It could even be said that they had a tacit romantic relationship.]
[Sister Yan likes strong people, which is nothing unreasonable. And at that time, Yu Tianheng happened to be the strongest member of the Royal Fighting Team at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[On top of that, Yu Tianheng intentionally or unintentionally drew close to her, and naturally, the two of them came together.]
Seeing this, Dugu Yan curled her lips slightly, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes.
Before she met Lin Yuan in Nuoding City, she indeed thought Yu Tianheng's strength was quite decent. But after meeting Lin Yuan, she no longer felt that Yu Tianheng was particularly strong. In fact, he even seemed somewhat weak.
[The first major defeat suffered by the Royal Fighting Team occurred when they encountered the Shrek Seven Devils.]
[That was the event I mentioned earlier, when Qin Ming took them to the Suo Tuo Grand Soul Arena in Suo Tuo City to participate in soul battles.]
[And what was the result?]
[The Royal Fighting Team was defeated by the Shrek Team, whose members had lower ranks than them!]
[And after that battle, the performances of the two of them were completely different.]
[After being defeated, Yu Tianheng's so-called pride shattered instantly!]
[He completely shut himself off and even began doubting his own life, feeling that this so-called "heaven's favored son" was nothing special after all.]
[But Dugu Yan was different.]
[Although she also lost, she still maintained the mindset and spirit of a strong person. She did not become discouraged.]
[In her mind, losing simply meant losing. She could train harder and win it back later. One day, she believed she would still have the chance to defeat Tang San.]
[She even turned around and comforted the dispirited Yu Tianheng, telling him not to give up and not to lose heart.]
[But what about Yu Tianheng?]
[After losing to Tang San, it was as if his Dao heart had shattered. He no longer possessed the same high spirits as before and became hesitant and insecure.]
[Dugu Yan's unwavering support made me think of a particular word: admiration of strength.]
[In my opinion, however, that term is not entirely a compliment.]
[In the world where I lived in my previous life, this was a term that appeared positive on the surface but actually carried a somewhat negative meaning.]
[Because many women's so-called "admiration of strength" often meant demanding that the man surpass them in appearance, power, wealth, and every other aspect, to satisfy their vanity and sense of dependence.]
[And what about themselves? They make no effort to improve and have no intention of becoming stronger.]
[This behavior of dressing up "dependence" as "admiration of strength" is honestly quite off-putting.]
[But Dugu Yan is different.]
[In her case, the term "admiration of strength" can be interpreted in its true sense.]
[Because although she admires the strong, she herself is also pursuing strength! She is constantly striving to become stronger!]
[When Yu Tianheng began to decline and even fell behind her, she did not despise him or look for someone else. Instead, she stayed with him and accompanied him through that low point.]
[And how did those women from my previous life admire strength? If you are strong now, I will stay with you. But if you become weak later, then do not blame me for abandoning you to admire someone stronger!]
[However, in the final outcome, Yu Tianheng completely disappointed Dugu Yan. One could even say he betrayed her.]
[During the final stage of the original story, the Battle of Jialing Pass erupted as the two empires fought against Spirit Hall.]
[At that time, the battle situation was extremely tense. On the Heaven Dou Empire's side, someone proposed that Dugu Bo infiltrate one of the cities under Spirit Hall's control using his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison.]
[The goal was to poison the people inside and thereby weaken Spirit Hall's military strength.]
