Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 130: Fourth Order Celestial Fox Transformation

Du Bai had been stuck at the third order for years now. Everyone always said that the Celestial Fox was the highest-tier bloodline in the entire Redemption Society, and that his talent was unique. However, despite years of effort, he had made no progress and had little combat ability. Seeing his companions growing stronger, how could he not feel anxious?

But he had no solution.

During their recent outing for training, Tang San, Wu Bingji, Gu Li, and Cheng Zicheng had always fought, while he had not. While the others were hunting demons, he just watched from the sidelines. That feeling was like a hundred claws scratching at his heart.

Particularly in the last battle, he had watched helplessly as Tang San, Wu Bingji, and Gu Li covered their retreat, allowing him and Cheng Zicheng to escape. At that moment, he had truly felt useless.

He was a young man with a passionate heart, longing to stand beside his companions and fight against powerful enemies. But he was useless; his presence wouldn’t have made a difference.

In that instant, his desire, his anger toward himself, and his intense unwillingness caused him a splitting headache, as if his brain was about to explode.

What use was the so-called first-tier bloodline of the Celestial Fox? What use was the Celestial Fox Vision? He would rather have a lesser bloodline with combat capabilities!

At that moment, he erupted. He exerted his spiritual power to the fullest, frantically pushing his Celestial Fox Vision, praying inwardly for only the safety of his companions. He didn’t know if it would help, but that was the only thing he could do.

In that instant, it was as if something within him shattered. He even thought he saw the distant battlefield, witnessing the dire plight of Tang San and the others. The vision flashed by, and then he was engulfed in darkness. In those final moments, he vaguely remembered a burst of white light emanating from him, enveloping the battlefield afar.

When he awoke, he found himself in his room. At first, he was groggy, but soon, he felt an unusual sensation. Following this feeling, he rose from the bed. As he stepped out of his room and gazed at the sky outside, feeling the changes around him, he suddenly realized he was seeing things quite differently now.

His Celestial Fox Transformation had evolved! He had finally surpassed the third order and entered the fourth, and it was not just your average improvement, but a unique and incredible evolution.

Previously, his Celestial Fox Vision had been more about passive observation and intangible feelings, sensing whose aura was slightly stronger or who had poorer luck. It could somewhat foresee danger, but he was completely oblivious to the details.

However, he now felt a vague ability to influence some aspects of fate. It was as if the threads of the world were within his perception, and he could attempt to manipulate them, causing them to shift according to his will.

At that moment, he thought of his companions, and his heart was instantly overwhelmed with ecstatic joy. So, he rushed to Tang San to share the exhilarating news. Unexpectedly, Tang San instantly recognized the evolution of his Celestial Fox Vision.

"Shh!" Tang San gestured at him to keep silent. "Keep it down, don't spread the word. Your Celestial Fox bloodline is a vital secret of the academy. When you were at the third order, it wasn't very noticeable. But the more powerful your Celestial Fox Vision gets, the more important it is, and the greater the danger to you. This must only be shared with our teachers, not even our senior fellow disciples."

"Got it!" Du Bai nodded excitedly. "Are you all alright? How's our eldest senior brother?"

"Don't worry, everyone's fine. Only you and Gu Li were unconscious. Now that you're awake, he should be waking up soon, too."

Du Bai heaved a long sigh of relief. "That's great, truly great. It's so good that everyone's alright!"

As he spoke, he rushed forward to hug Tang San.

With a helpless sigh, Tang San patted him on the back. "Calm down, alright? Let's report this to our teachers first. Hmm...never mind, you can't control your emotions right now. I'll go and bring the teacher here. Just wait here for me."

It was still early in the morning, almost time for breakfast. Tang San closed the door and had Du Bai wait in his room while he headed straight to the cafeteria.

He wasn't looking for the mayor, Zhang Haoxuan, as the latter didn't actually reside within the academy. The real steward of the academy was Guan Longjiang. In a sense, he was the head of discipline.

Thinking back to how Guan Longjiang scolded Zhang Haoxuan yesterday, Tang San couldn't help but feel amused. His master had taken the brunt of the scolding that he himself should have been subjected to! And he expected to be scolded today, too. Yesterday, the primary target was the team-leading mayor because they had just returned.

Sneaking into the cafeteria, Tang San immediately spotted Guan Longjiang.

Guan Longjiang arrived at the cafeteria every morning to check on the breakfast and ensure everything was arranged for everyone.

The canteen was filled with a rich aroma, clearly the scent of meat soup or something similar. It was probably the broth made from the bones of the Fissure Lizards they had eaten the day before. This was truly nourishing for everyone. Perhaps even the meals at Kali Academy couldn't compare.

"Teacher Guan," Tang San called out softly.

Guan Longjiang turned around, his face darkening upon seeing his pupil. "I was just looking for you. Tang San, do you realize..."

Seeing the fury about to erupt in Guan Longjiang's eyes, Tang San quickly stepped forward, whispering, "Teacher Guan, I have some good news to tell you."

"Good news? What good news?" asked Guan Longjiang, puzzled.

Tang San leaned in close to him and whispered something in his ear.

"What? Really?" Guan Longjiang's eyes widened instantly, and he completely forgot about scolding Tang San.

"Is it true? Are you sure?" The voice of the stern teacher trembled slightly.

"Positive, positive. There’s no mistake; he felt it too," Tang San affirmed.

"Where is he? Why didn't he come with you?" asked Guan Longjiang eagerly.

"He was too excited, and I was worried about exposing him. I think this matter should be kept secret, given its importance. So, I asked him to wait in my room and I came straight to you to report. I think that was the right thing to do."

"Yes, absolutely right. It must be kept secret," Guan Longjiang said excitedly, rubbing his hands together, barely containing his emotions. "Let's go, take me there. I need to see for myself to be sure."

"Alright."

Immediately, Tang San led Guan Longjiang to his dormitory door. However, before he could enter, Guan Longjiang pulled him back. "Stay here at the door, don't let anyone in."

With these words, he pushed the door open and entered, leaving Tang San outside.

Tang San's mouth twitched. This is my room! And now I'm left standing guard?! Well, whatever, standing guard it is. It seems like I might avoid a scolding today, right?

It wasn't long before the door opened again.

When Guan Longjiang reappeared before Tang San, his face was beaming.

"Teacher Guan, how did it go?" Tang San asked tentatively.

Guan Longjiang laughed heartily. "Good, very good. Extremely good! Hahaha, Tang San, you've really done a great deed this time. Remember to keep it a secret. For now, let that young man stay out of sight. You take him back to his place, let him stabilize his state and bring his abilities under control. Otherwise, everyone will sense the change in his bloodline. I'm going to find your teacher."

Saying this, he hurried off.
