Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Tang San shook his head, "I only taught Miss Wang the control method for the wind blade."

In fact, he had experimented on Ling Muxue to see if she could learn the Mysterious Heaven Method, but Ling Muxue didn\'t know that it was the Mysterious Heaven Method, and since she already had the Demon God Transformation, the attempt was a failure.

He didn\'t say this as he didn\'t want to cause further trouble for Ling Muxue and the others.

The mayor\'s reaction surprised Tang San, but it was also acceptable. Although his current Spiritual Power wasn\'t very high, that bit of divine consciousness hidden within the Spiritual Power was still more than capable of judging whether a person\'s words were sincere.

"Good. Remember, what you\'ve told me today must never be mentioned to any outsiders. This includes within our organization—don\'t tell anyone. I will record a confidential file on all your circumstances. As long as I am alive, no one will be able to see this file, not even someone within the organization of a higher rank than me. Once I die, the person who takes over will receive this file and continue to maintain contact with you. The fewer people who know, the safer you will be."

Saying this, he paused for a moment, a glint of light seeming to flash in the depths of his eyes, "If in the near future, it can be proven that the method you are cultivating can be elevated to a higher level, then perhaps we humans may yet have an opportunity of our own."

"Mhm, mhm." Besides nodding his head repeatedly, Tang San didn\'t know what else to say.

When the mayor had discovered his secret, Tang San had actually been prepared to silence him. His greatest trump card was that bit of divine consciousness brought from his previous life. Once unleashed, he believed it could solve most problems. But because of this, once he used it, this bit of divine consciousness would be depleted, and it would be impossible to recover before reaching the God Rank.

What Tang San hadn\'t expected was that the mayor\'s reaction turned out to be even better than the best scenario he had anticipated. Not only was he going to keep the secret himself, but he had also asked Tang San to do the same, making Tang San hold the Redemption Organization in even higher regard.

"Become my apprentice," the mayor suddenly said.

Tang San was taken aback, "Become your apprentice?"

The mayor looked at him, his gaze returning to its usual calm, "Otherwise?"

"Alright." What else could Tang San say? When under the eaves, one has to bow. There and then, he knelt to the ground and offered a great salute.

"Teacher."

The mayor nodded in satisfaction, his usually placid face revealing a trace of a smile, "Xiaosan, if one day in the future it can be proven that the method you are cultivating is suitable for all of humanity, I hope you will agree to contribute it. To offer an important power for the rise of our human race."

"Um," Tang San silently ridiculed in his heart, you already know everything, don\'t you? What contribution do you still need from me?

The village chief said, "My name is Zhang Haoxuan. My Demon God Transformation is the Fierce Flame Tiger King. The Fierce Flame Tiger ranks second among the Monster tiger species, only inferior to the golden bloodline of the Tiger Emperor Lineage. Ninth Stage."

Ninth Stage? Tang San\'s heart jolted, this could be said to be the strongest existence he had encountered since arriving in this world. Although he had felt completely overwhelmed during the exchange just now, upon hearing Zhang Haoxuan speak for himself, he finally understood the extent of the latter\'s cultivation base. Compared to his previous life, this individual was equivalent to standing at the peak below the God Rank of Soul Masters, comparable to the presence of a Titled Douluo. Moreover, from what he said, the bloodline power of his Demon God Transformation was quite impressive.

Tigers are the kings of beasts, and tiger Monsters should be among the top within the entire Monster tribe, with the Fierce Flame Tiger ranking second among tiger Demon Beasts. The bloodline of the Fierce Flame Tiger King, this is truly not weak!

The village chief continued, "From now on, you are a part of the Redemption Organization. Based on your cultivation base, you could have directly become an Orange Redemption member. But to conceal your strength, let\'s start from the beginning with Red Level Salvation."

Before Tang San could ask any questions, the village chief continued, "Within our Redemption, each member has a tier. Members of different levels can obtain different layers of authority. There are a total of seven major ranks. They correspond to the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. The Red Level is the lowest, and the Purple Rank is the highest. As you are just starting, naturally, you are at the Red Level Salvation. You can be promoted by accumulating merits. To encourage everyone to improve their cultivation and speed up training, according to the rules of the organization, a Fifth Stage existence, regardless of merit accumulation, can be promoted to Orange Rank as long as they are an official member of the organization. That\'s why I said you could have been Orange Rank."

"Reaching the Seventh Stage of cultivation naturally allows one to advance to Yellow Rank. Ninth Stage corresponds to Green Level. This is also the limit where cultivation can directly enhance one\'s rank. For the higher three ranks, besides needing a strong cultivation base, one must also make significant contributions to the organization to be qualified to have them."

Rainbow Seven Levels. Quite interesting! Tang San silently mused in his heart.

"Teacher, which rank are you?" Tang San asked with a look of curiosity.

Zhang Haoxuan replied, "I am at the Blue Rank. Above the Green Rank, one is considered part of the upper echelons of the organization. Here in Jiali City, I am one of the main persons in charge, responsible for handling day-to-day affairs."

Tang San asked, "So are you the highest-level redeemer here?"

Zhang Haoxuan shook his head and said, "No, there are two redeemers here with ranks higher than mine, but their situations are special, and they do not directly manage the affairs of the organization here. In Jiali City, the main responsibilities are still mine."

"I understand," Tang San said, gaining a slight understanding of the Redemption Organization from his explanation.

Zhang Haoxuan continued, "To conceal our identities and avoid being discovered by the Monsters, the organization has a special method of verifying identity. I will brand a mark on the back of your hand, and when a higher-ranking redeemer is before you, they can use the method to detect your mark, and likewise, you can show your mark for others to verify its authenticity, so that you can help each other when necessary."

"Teacher, are all the people in this town members of our organization?" Tang San asked the question he most wanted to know.

Zhang Haoxuan shook his head and said, "Of course not. How could we possibly have so many members? The more people there are, the more noise they make, and once exposed, it would be catastrophic. About one percent of the people in town belong to the organization. You will gradually learn who they are. So, you also need to hide your identity well. This is also why I wanted to take you as my disciple, giving you a normal identity on the surface. You don\'t have to bother with anything else, just focus on cultivating."

"Let me briefly explain the situation in this town to you. Our town relies on Jiali Academy, so it is also called Academy Town. It exists to serve Jiali Academy. As a result, many people from the town will do some work in the academy from time to time. Relatively speaking, as vassals, we get a better deal in the academy. At the very least, the Monsters here are relatively well-behaved and won\'t easily harm vassals. Working in the academy is also a kind of training, at times beneficial to us. You will learn about these things in time. In the right circumstances, I will also let you enter the academy for training."
