Chapter 224: Chapter 223: Pretty Girl with a Milk Tea
Over at Time Variation Seal, there should be a chance to reach the Sixth Stage, and the same goes for the Golden Peng Transformation. Once Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng break through to the Sixth Stage, Tang San can prepare to start his breakthrough.
Among his six Demon God Transformations, the most core is the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, while the weakest is the Leopard Flash. He plans to replace Leopard Flash with Peacock Transformation in the future, as the Peacock Demon Clan possesses one of the most top-notch bloodlines. As for the Wind Tiger Transformation, he will keep it for the time being, after all, it\'s meant to conceal his identity.
Among the six Demon God Transformations, three can reach the level suitable for breaking through to the Seventh Stage, two are at the Sixth Stage, and one is at the Fifth Stage. This is when he overall breaks through to the Seventh Stage.
After bidding farewell to Du Bai, Tang San then went to see Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng in succession. To his great surprise, Cheng Zicheng had already completed his breakthrough to the Sixth Stage. The might of the Golden Peng Transformation increased greatly. Gu Li was not far from the Sixth Stage either, thanks to the effects of the Purple Sun Fruit, his Spiritual Power surged and his understanding of the Time Variation Seal deepened considerably. By the time Du Bai breaks through to the Fifth Stage, he would also have the opportunity to break through to the Sixth Stage.
After visiting several senior brothers and sisters, Tang San returned to Jiali Academy by night, and entered the academy\'s store, familiar with the path, to continue his cultivation.
Two days later, when Tang San came again to the side of the water pool in the Jiali Mountain Range, his eyes immediately revealed a look of surprise.
From afar, he could feel the change in the spirituality of heaven and earth, the gentle spirituality of heaven and earth seemed ubiquitous in the air, but they were gathering slowly towards one direction.
Near the pool, the Red Fox girls were sitting around in meditation, and Zhang Haoxuan was also meditating.
The Golden Wood inserted into the Spirit Gathering Array seemed unchanged, but faintly, there was an almost imperceptible Life Aura seeping out.
With the capabilities of the Bluesilver Emperor, Tang San\'s perception in this respect was the clearest. The seeping of Life Force indicated that these Golden Woods had started to grow some roots. His Spirit Gathering Array was quite effective.
Of course, this was only possible on the Demon Monster Land. The spirituality of heaven and earth on the Demon Monster Land was so rich, and within the Jiali Mountain Range, it was even more abundant. Through the convergence of the Spirit Gathering Array, these spiritualities of heaven and earth naturally merged, nourishing the growth of the Golden Wood. Now that it had roots, even just a little, this was akin to awakening the Golden Wood, with immeasurable benefits to its future growth.
Zhang Haoxuan opened his eyes and looked at Tang San with a somewhat peculiar gaze.
"Teacher," Tang San approached him quickly and bowed respectfully.
"Profound and vast, indeed profound and vast," Zhang Haoxuan sighed.
In the past two days, he had been observing the workings of the Spirit Gathering Array. The more he watched, the more fascinated he became. Within this Formation, everything was interlocked, spontaneously communicating with heaven and earth, drawing spirituality of heaven and earth and directly converging it into the Golden Wood.
In just a few days, the speed at which the spirituality of heaven and earth converged had increased significantly, and he could feel some changes in the Golden Wood.
As the Formation Eye, the evolution of the Golden Wood would make the effects of the Spirit Gathering Array stronger, and the stronger the Spirit Gathering Array, the better it promoted its growth. This was truly marvellous.
Tang San handed the drawn Formation diagram to Zhang Haoxuan.
"Honestly, I don\'t know if I should accept this Formation diagram. I feel that the organization would have a hard time finding something to exchange with you for it," Zhang Haoxuan said with a wry smile.
Tang San smiled and said, "I didn\'t intend to ask for anything in the first place."
Zhang Haoxuan shook his head and said, "That won\'t do. This magic array is far too precious. I can ascertain that even the Ancestral Court may not have such an exquisite Formation. What do you want to exchange it for?"
Tang San said, "If I must exchange it for something, I would like some high-grade blood from the Heavenly Fox Clan for Brother Du Bai. With Brother Du Bai\'s current bloodline intensity, the Sixth Stage is likely to be his limit. If he wants to advance further, then he\'ll need a higher level of bloodline power."
Zhang Haoxuan was stunned for a moment, "For Brother Du Bai? Then you..."
Tang San smiled, "It\'s not like you don\'t know, I\'ll be improving along with him!"
Zhang Haoxuan gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "The blood of the Heavenly Fox Clan is definitely the most precious existence among all the Monster clans, it\'s almost impossible to obtain. The Heavenly Fox Clan is sparse in population, and they value their own bloodlines far beyond what you can imagine."
Tang San replied, "No hurry, after all, it will take some time for Brother Du Bai to reach the Sixth Stage. Just mention it to the organization first. If there\'s a chance, try it."
Zhang Haoxuan said, "Okay. I\'ll give it a try later. Explain the magic array to me, and then, I won\'t go back for this period. There are magic array templates here, and pattern maps, I\'ll try to learn the Spirit Gathering Array here. I\'ll also watch over these Golden Wood for you. These girls are very obedient, aside from eating and sleeping, they\'re really just meditating all the time. Hopefully, these Golden Wood can indeed help them evolve, and they can become your support in the future."
"Uh huh," Tang San thought to himself, if he could really train them up, he could only send them over to Pretty Girl in the end. Otherwise, if she saw he had so many girls around him... and they\'re from the Fox Tribe... then he might as well declare his pursuit failed.
Cultivating, sweeping, they became Tang San\'s daily routine once again. During this time, after careful consideration, he ate the second Purple Sun Fruit as well. The effect wasn\'t as good as the first one but brought his Spiritual Power another step toward completion.
The stronger the Spiritual Power, the better the nourishment for the divine consciousness. This was what he needed the most.
In the blink of an eye, another two weeks had passed.
That evening, after completing his day\'s sweeping duties, Tang San was preparing to go back and report to Elder Mao when he saw Pretty Girl coming out from the main teaching building.
Recently, he had been seeing her at a normal frequency, about once every two or three days. However, Pretty Girl hadn\'t spoken to him again nor sought him out, treating him as if he were a stranger.
Tang San was not uncomfortable with this. He understood that this was Pretty Girl\'s way of not wanting to get close to him to avoid bringing him trouble, allowing him to grow quietly.
And the moment he saw Pretty Girl today, he noticed that she was holding a cup of milk tea in her hand.
Was it finally going to continue?
Tang San silently put away the broom and quickened his pace back to the school workers\' cottage.
Pretty Girl, holding her milk tea, walked out of Jiali Academy\'s main gate, stood at one side outside the gate, and quietly sipped her drink while her gaze inadvertently scanned her surroundings.
Nearly twenty days had passed since the last incident, and the Diamond Bear she had killed was the eldest son of the current Bear Demon King. Enraged upon hearing the news, the Bear Demon King returned to Jiali City and created quite an uproar for a few days, searching for the murderer everywhere.
From the wounds on the corpse of the Bear Demon King\'s son, it was possible to discern the traces of tiger claws. With the defensive power of the Diamond Bear, the number of tiger demons capable of breaking through the Diamond Bodyguard defense was naturally not many.
Moreover, there were weapon-inflicted wounds on his back, and the toxins that entered his body were another fatal blow. Clearly, he was ambushed.
The killing of the son of the Bear King at home also caused great anger and shock among the nobles of Jiali. Over the past twenty days, a thorough hunt had indeed taken place within Jiali City. The tiger demon nobles had been pushed into the limelight.
The Tiger Demon Line did not have any strong branches in Jiali City, and among the entire Monster clans, they are one of the most prestigious large clans. The tiger has always been the king of beasts, and this status had never changed. The incident even alarmed the patriarch of the Tiger Demon Clan from the Golden Tiger Line in another main city, who ordered a thorough investigation.
Of course, the investigation turned up no results.
If Tang San knew of this information from the upper echelons of the Monster clans, then he would surely determine that one of Pretty Girl\'s Demon God Transformations belonged to the Tiger Demon Line.
