Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 197: Chapter 196: The Mayor Returns



He...

Pretty Girl felt her heart clench in an instant, subconsciously gripping her hands tight. She felt as if her heart skipped a beat at that moment, an indescribable pain swiftly enveloping her.

What\'s wrong with me? What\'s happening to me?

Turning back around, she quickly walked away, her pace clearly becoming hurried.

Watching her leave, Tang San hurriedly wiped the tears from his face. Shaking his head in resignation, he realized that he could never control his emotions in front of her!

The days that followed suddenly returned to calm. Tang San swept floors at Jiali Academy to practice cultivation during the day, and at night he would sneak into the academy\'s store to continue perfecting his Bluesilver Emperor, nourishing his body by absorbing the Aura from heavenly treasures.

Life was simple and ordinary, and he remained a nobody at Jiali Academy, with nothing eventful happening.

But for him, some things were out of the ordinary, as the number of times he saw Pretty Girl had reduced for some reason. Even with the Heavenly Fox Eye\'s blessing, it was the same.

The Redemption Academy organized another expedition, and the effects of training in the wild were clearly more significant than inside the academy. Everyone was progressing steadily.

Du Bai\'s Spiritual Power was improving smoothly, gradually moving towards the state of overflowing Liquid Spiritual Power.

Thanks to the gains from the first expedition, the strengths of Cheng Zicheng, Gu Li, and Wu Bingji were also advancing rapidly.

Just like that, a month passed by.

Zhang Haoxuan finally returned.

As soon as Tang San finished his work at Jiali Academy and returned to Redemption Academy, he saw Zhang Haoxuan waiting for him at the school.

Zhang Haoxuan motioned for him to come over and they went back to the room together.

Closing his room door, Tang San said with some excitement, "Teacher, you\'re finally back."

Zhang Haoxuan asked, "How have you been lately? Are there any issues with your cultivation?"

Tang San shook his head, "Nothing much, everything is as usual, I\'m still accumulating."

Zhang Haoxuan looked his disciple up and down a few times. Over the past month, Tang San seemed to have grown a bit taller, and he appeared flushed with health, his body also seemed a bit more robust. There was a change in his spirit, essence, and energy, although there was no noticeable increase in the intensity of his bloodline aura fluctuations, Zhang Haoxuan could still feel that Tang San had changed and probably made some overall progress.

In fact, during this past month. Tang San\'s Wind Tiger Transformation remained at the Sixth-stage Peak, and he forcefully sealed the bloodline power from the Tiger King using the Time Variation Seal. Similarly, the Bluesilver Emperor Mark had also cultivated to the peak of the Sixth Stage, reaching a state where a breakthrough could happen at any moment. His body had also become more robust as he absorbed those heavenly treasures, now taller and larger than an average person of his age. If he were to forcefully break through to the Seventh Stage now, he would most likely be able to withstand it.

Besides that, the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye had been cultivated to the peak of Fourth Stage, and the Golden Peng Transformation and the Time Variation Seal had each reached the peak of Fifth Stage. He was even a bit stronger than Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng. After all, at the same stage, it is more about accumulation. By interacting with them frequently, Tang San kept drawing and absorbing power, and naturally, he reached it through accumulation.

In a certain sense, his cultivation had reached a bottleneck.

Tang San wasn\'t anxious about this; to bring the other four Marks to the peak of the Sixth Stage, he couldn\'t accomplish it alone. It required his companions to improve as well.

Since the Marks could no longer be improved and the Mysterious Heaven Method had reached its bottleneck, Tang San had been prioritizing the cultivation of his Spiritual Power lately. At the academy\'s shop, he started to use some heavenly treasures that boost Spiritual Power to enhance his own spiritual cultivation.

His method of improving Spiritual Power was different from Du Bai\'s. Not only was he continually accumulating more Liquid Spiritual Power, but he was also constantly expanding his Sea of Spirit.

With that bit of divine consciousness, his Sea of Spirit was naturally much larger than that of an ordinary person, and while the Spiritual Power nourished the divine consciousness, in turn, the divine consciousness also continuously nourished his Sea of Spirit. After all, the Sea of Spirit is essentially home to the divine consciousness.

Exploiting the situation, Tang San was continuously expanding his Sea of Spirit, and his Spiritual Power was increasing at a much faster rate than his bloodline power. With the existence of divine consciousness, his Sea of Spirit essentially had no bottleneck. This was the greatest help brought by his past life\'s Godking cultivation. Now, Tang San, purely in terms of Spiritual Power, had already reached the level of a Ninth Stage Monster Clan Powerhouse. Nurtured by divine consciousness, he wouldn\'t even encounter the bottleneck that usually comes with Spiritual Power breaking through to God Rank. At least his Sea of Spirit would be much larger than that of ordinary Ninth Stage Monsters.

Therefore, although both possessing the Heavenly Fox Eye and capable of harnessing the Luck Enhancement with the Heavenly Fox Transformation and both being at the Fourth Stage, Tang San could control Luck for a much longer time than Du Bai could.

Zhang Haoxuan nodded and said, "You\'re doing well. The jump from Sixth Stage to Seventh Stage is a qualitative leap. The stronger the bloodline, the more difficult the breakthrough. Frankly, I can\'t even determine whether your bloodline should be considered strong or not. But you must be careful, you have multiple Demon God Transformation abilities, and the most important point during breakthrough is to avoid chaos. Be extra careful."

"Don\'t worry, I will be," Tang San nodded.

"Teacher, I\'ve noticed that the extent of the qualitative change after breaking through to Seventh Stage seems different for bloodlines of various levels. Is that so?" Tang San asked.

Zhang Haoxuan nodded and said, "Theoretically, that\'s the case. You\'re thinking this because you saw Pretty Girl\'s Seventh Stage is very powerful, right?"

Tang San nodded.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Don\'t compare yourself with her, her case is quite special. It\'s not replicable."

"Why? What makes her so different?" Tang San asked curiously.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "What I\'m reminding you again is that her secret identity within Redemption must be kept strictly confidential, not even your best partners should know. Pretty Girl\'s status in the organization isn\'t just that of Green-grade redemption. In the entire organization, her importance ranks first in order. Even above me, and even above the chairman."

"The chairman?"

"Yes, the leader of our Redemption Organization. There\'s one chairman and four vice-chairmen in our organization. They are the only five at the Purple Level Redemption. Below them are Green-grade redeemers. So, you know now why Pretty Girl is at Green-grade," he explained.

Tang San said, "You haven\'t told me why her situation is unreplicable."

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Because her father and other Monsters are a bit different. Or rather, it\'s her mother who\'s very different. Her father, who is the current Peacock Demon King, dotes on his daughter and wife. He used his own blood essence to lay the foundation for Pretty Girl, which significantly increased her bloodline purity. That\'s all I know."

Blood essence? Tang San was startled. The blood essence of the Monster race was extremely precious. Normally, only oneself could extract blood essence. Otherwise, even if one were killed, pure blood essence could not be extracted. Using blood essence to enhance the bloodline concentration of offspring was not something the Monster race would lightly do within themselves because extracting blood essence would weaken one\'s own bloodline origin.

This was different from the blood essence Tang San used to attract the King of Winged Tigers that day. Tang San\'s foundation was the Mysterious Heaven Method, not the bloodline. But for the Monster race, the essence of their being was the bloodline\'s origin.

Pretty Girl and her Peacock Demon King father seemed to be quite special indeed! No wonder she was completely different from other human vassals despite also possessing Monster lineage. Or rather, she couldn\'t be considered a vassal at all.

Her awakening of the Peacock Golden Crown must be related to the purity of her bloodline.
