Chapter 100: Victory!

Tang San's time freeze ended at this moment. Almost instantaneously, his hands landed on Gu Li's shoulders. Then, with phantom-like steps, he rapidly retreated several paces with Gu Li, twisting his upper body and hurling Gu Li away.

Bang!

Gu Li landed seven or eight meters away, rolling on the ground a few times before struggling to get up. His complexion was pale as paper, clearly a case of excessive bloodline power depletion.

Yet, Tang San's expression remained unchanged. He straightened his clothes, and the next moment, a wind blade was once again forming in the palm of his hand.

What just happened? Why does it look like he wasn't injured, even though he was hit?

Even the teachers, including Mu Enqing, were a bit confused. At the moment of collision, both parties' bloodline powers and auras had been interacting chaotically, and the point where they became entangled was Tang San's chest.

As the wind blade in Tang San's hand deepened in color, Gu Li spoke without hesitation, "I-I concede."

Due to having used his ability three times just now, and also due to the sudden, uncontrolled depletion of his bloodline power, it was a tall order for him to use the Chrono Croc Transformation now. If I don’t quit and I let him hit me with that, it’s going to be a problem.

Guan Longjiang frowned slightly, deep in thought. There was nothing wrong with Gu Li's mode of attack. How did it turn out that after successfully landing a hit, he was still defeated by his opponent?

How could he know Tang San had been prepared when Gu Li tried to close in on him?

When Gu Li collided with him, Tang San hadn’t activated his heavy armor ability, the Ironhide Shield, but he had concentrated the energy of the Mysterious Heaven Technique on his chest and abdomen. The fifth-order energy of the Mysterious Heaven Technique provided formidable protection. Furthermore, by employing the Tang Sect's unique Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, he directly grabbed Gu Li, absorbing some of his bloodline power, then repelled him using the same technique.

Gu Li's Demonic God Transformation was powerful, but his cultivation level was far inferior to Tang San's. With Tang San's combat experience, divine consciousness, and the insight of a God King, it was almost impossible for an opponent of the same order to defeat him.

Thus, Gu Li was defeated. Right now, he was sitting on the floor, experiencing a solid bout of utter confusion.

On the other side of the room, Tang San was experiencing something entirely different. As he absorbed that strand of Gu Li's Chrono Croc bloodline power, the gradually forming bloodline imprint made him feel a trace of the power from his past life.

Yes, it was a feeling very familiar to him.

The mysteries of time, among the most profound mysteries in the universe, filled him with immense joy at this instant. While basking in this feeling, he decided without hesitation to replace the Ironhide Shield with the Chrono Croc Transformation.

Once this second-tier Chrono Croc Transformation was integrated, even though it might only be around the third order in terms of power, what it could bring him was not just an additional ability to control time. It would greatly aid his understanding of the world and allow him to touch upon even higher-level laws. This was far, far more significant than the effects of the Golden Roc Transformation.

After integrating the Golden Roc Transformation and listening to Guan Longjiang's explanation about the orders of Demonic God Transformations, Tang San's understanding of this world had deepened. Different tiers of Demonic God Transformations were not just variations of a single ability. Although all were called Demonic God Transformations, the bloodlines of different tiers resonated with the world in completely distinct ways.

After integrating the Golden Roc Transformation, his body had transformed, enhancing his ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and giving him an increasing sense of integration with this world.

This plane of existence cherished higher tiers of bloodline power, which was the ultimate reason for the supremacy of bloodlines in this world. The more powerful the bloodline he absorbed, the more he felt this way. Therefore, his future direction of improvement was to pursue both his own cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Technique and the tier of his bloodline.

Undoubtedly, the Redemption Society provided him with this convenience. Gu Li's Chrono Croc Transformation and Cheng Zicheng's Golden Roc Transformation were powerful bloodline powers. And then there was...

Tang San walked back to Du Bai and smiled at him. Du Bai gave him a thumbs-up.

The Celestial Fox is the only first-tier bloodline in the Redemption Society! Even if the owner is only at the third order, it’s still a first-tier bloodline.

The match between Tang San and Gu Li ended quickly and was not as thrilling as his battle with Wu Bingji. However, after watching this match, the teachers were somewhat silent. They almost unanimously acknowledged that Tang San's practical experience was vibrant. To think that this child is only nine years old.... What kind of ridiculous talent does he have for combat?!

Si Ru's jealousy grew increasingly intense. He envied not Tang San’s prowess, but the luck of a particular mayor.

The practical combat class continued, but Mu Enqing didn't comment on Tang San's two fights today. He was somewhat unsure how to critique them. Both Wu Bingji and Gu Li had performed exceptionally well today, yet Tang San had still led both of them by the nose. How to instruct them was a problem. Even under his guidance, could they defeat Tang San?

Class ended, and the teachers left together.

Tang San didn't return to his room but went straight to Wu Bingji.

"Senior brother," Tang San said with a smile.

"Do we talk now?" Wu Bingji's eyes brightened. For him, Tang San was a treasure trove.

"I want to take on a task from you. The mayor teacher has already agreed. I can take on any task other than sparring," Tang San said.

"Alright, let's go," Wu Bingji said, leading Tang San back to his place. A curious Du Bai followed Tang San as well.

Du Bai, in fact, greatly envied Tang San. Although his bloodline was the unique first-tier, his cultivation was only third-order. He wasn't good at combat and severely lacked physical strength. He didn't have to participate in the practical combat classes, but it wasn’t like he never had any desire to. He had to admit to himself that as he watched his colleagues with good fighting prowess, he longed to be among them.

They arrived at Wu Bingji's residence, and he took out the task list again.

"What type of task do you want to undertake?"

"Other than sparring tasks, which tasks earn the most money?" Tang San inquired.

Wu Bingji raised an eyebrow. “Actually, all types of tasks are more or less similar, and the income depends on the task's difficulty. The higher up the list, the more challenging the task. But you also need to consider your capabilities! Like this hunting task, for instance.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the demon beast hunting task list and said, “The income from hunting Winged Tigers in the Kali Mountain Range is very high. Demonic beasts from the tiger race are all valuable in their entirety, every single bit of them. If we can hunt one down, the reward is huge. Actually, the reward for an adult tiger is at least ten naturae coins, and mind you, I said at least. But even a young Winged Tiger has fifth-order strength, and adults can reach the seventh order. They’re also very fast and agile, so they are really tough to catch. High risk, high reward.”

Tang San nodded. "Okay, let's go with this task."

"Um. What?" Wu Bingji looked at him in astonishment, "What did you say? Do you want to take on the task of hunting a Winged Tiger? Did your head get injured during sparring today? You should know that in the forests, the combat power of the Winged Tiger is even greater. That's their home ground. You're only fifth-order! No, no, this is too dangerous for you."

Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Well, as you said, how can you get a high reward if you don’t take a high risk? And I never thought of doing it alone! Senior brother, let's do it together! We can also call a few other senior brothers and sisters. It might work out. We can even ask a teacher to protect us in secret."

Du Bai, listening, couldn't help but interject, "Hold on, if you do it like that, is it still considered your task?"

"No, but who cares?" Tang San replied. "I have no intention to take all the benefits for myself. But think of it, these dangerous tasks have much better rewards than the easier ones. Look at those tasks for hunting lesser demonic beasts, they only pay one or two aetherhorn coins. The difference between naturae coins and aetherhorn coins is just too great. Even if I only get one naturae coin, it’s a lot better use of my time than hunting a bunch of low-level demonic beasts. Why not go for it?"
