Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 125: I Had Good Luck-Thats All

Chapter 125: I Had Good Luck, That’s All

Tang San said, “Please hurry and find them. They will be in danger if they encounter other demonic beasts in the forest. Since you’ve driven away the Winged Tiger King here, even if there are other Winged Tigers, they probably won’t get anywhere near this area. I’ll stay here and watch over them. In a little while, I should be able to fight.”

“Those two are not in a condition to move; they can only rest here for now. First, we need to stabilize their injuries. You stay here and guard them; I’ll be back as quickly as I can,” Zhang Haoxuan said without hesitation, suppressing his injuries. He leaped up again and swiftly headed into the distance.

He had to find Cheng Zicheng and Du Bai; otherwise, these vast forests would be too dangerous for them.

He left, and Tang San breathed a sigh of relief, though his physical condition was still deplorable. Fortunately, his Mysterious Heaven Technique had made a breakthrough. Now that he was at the sixth order, his energy offered him an even more substantial capability to nourish and heal himself.

He silently circulated his energy, adjusting his disordered aura and meridians and slowly healing his injuries.

At the same time, Tang San discovered that inside his body, there was an additional bloodline imprint. It was a translucent emerald color, much more transparent and solid than his Wind Wolf Transformation imprint.

Without a doubt, he had gotten this imprint from the tigress. When he thoroughly devoured it, it was to weaken the tigress and strengthen himself, but unexpectedly, he had also obtained a bloodline imprint, even though the source was a demonic beast rather than a demon.

Now that the battle was over, he slowly analyzed the remaining power of the tigress’s bloodline within him, comparing the bloodlines of demonic beasts and demons.

Unlike anybody else on this planet, he could simply put the bloodline imprints one next to another and compare them directly. As expected, the bloodline power of demonic beasts was more turbulent, unlike the pure bloodline power of demons, and it contained more impurities. This was likely because their spiritual intelligence was low at best, and during cultivation, they could only passively absorb spiritual energy; they could not consciously circulate it, much less filter it and use catalysts to improve it. This was one of the reasons demonic beasts could not cultivate to the level of a God King.

However, in terms of the vigor of their qi and blood, demonic beasts were certainly not inferior. This peak seventh-order tigress contained the most formidable bloodline energy Tang San had ever felt. Within its enormous body lay incredibly potent bloodline power.

Of course, this was because he had not yet felt the bloodline power of the mayor, his master.[1]

The wind-attribute imprint the tigress left should be called the Winged Tiger Transformation. Hmm… the Winged Tiger is of the wind attribute. As expected, the innate ability of the Winged Tiger is not flying, it seems that’s something instinctual. Considering the color of the imprint, it’s clear that the ability attached to it is the Wind Astral.[2]

Now, what would happen if the Winged Tiger Transformation with the Wind Astral ability were to merge with the Wind Blade from my Wind Wolf Transformation?

Undoubtedly, the Winged Tiger Transformation’s bloodline tier was higher than the Wind Wolf Transformation’s. If the Winged Tigers were demons, their bloodline tier would directly start at the third tier. Unfortunately, they were demonic beasts, not demons, so their bloodline purity was somewhat inferior, but it should still be above the fourth tier. As for the Winged Tiger King, its bloodline was undoubtedly peak third tier, if not higher.

The Winged Tiger Transformation imprint was likely able to merge with Tang San’s Wind Wolf Transformation, allowing it to evolve and offering Tang San a more varied range of attacks than just the basic Wind Blade.

Of course, this wasn’t something he can do right now. The intense impact of the bloodline energy on his meridians still had to be repaired. Fortunately, the Mysterious Heaven Technique had made his meridians very flexible, and its nurturing effect on Tang San’s physique was excellent. Given enough time, full recovery was a given.

Now, the only concern was whether another powerful Winged Tiger would try to profit from the others’ misfortune. DiScover 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no𝒗/e/lbin(.)com

The mayor had previously dealt a heavy blow to the Winged Tiger King, and Tang San hoped the Winged Tigers didn’t have the habit of helping each other. Otherwise, he would really have to rely on his divine consciousness.

Just then, he distinctly felt a warm sensation flowing through his eyes, which soothed his tense mood somewhat.

Was this…the effect of the Celestial Fox Vision, or rather the Discerning Eye of Heaven, telling him there was no danger nearby?

While Tang San was marveling at the function of the Celestial Fox Vision, Zhang Haoxuan returned, carrying Cheng Zicheng and Du Bai on each shoulder.

Seeing the mayor return, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief and became even more intrigued by the mysteries of the Celestial Fox Vision. Indeed, there was no danger; the foresight it provided was genuinely fascinating! It was exactly like the premonition he had of the imminent threat that the Winged Tiger King posed. At that time, the intense sense of crisis was because of the hidden danger represented by the tigress, a danger they had been forced to face by themselves.

Zhang Haoxuan descended from the air, and only then did Tang San notice that while Cheng Zicheng was all right, Du Bai had fallen unconscious, and his face was deathly pale.

“Master, what happened to senior brother Du Bai?” Tang San asked in surprise.

Before Zhang Haoxuan could speak, Cheng Zicheng said, “While we were running away, we both felt extremely guilty. I was carrying him, and he kept saying he was useless. Then, I suddenly felt a strong surge in spiritual power. After that, he fell unconscious. He scared me terribly, he was just hanging there like a limp noodle. Luckily, the mayor came after us after a minute. I don’t know what exactly happened.”

A sudden burst of intense spiritual fluctuations, then he fell into a coma…

“It must be mental exhaustion,” Zhang Haoxuan stated.

Tang San instantly understood what had happened.

Du Bai must have felt profoundly useless and filled with self-blame while escaping with Cheng Zicheng. Then, he used the power of the Celestial Fox Vision, exerting it to its fullest to try to manipulate their fate.

It seems… he succeeded!

If he hadn’t taken the chance to attack the tigress’s mouth, even if he could have blinded it, the three of them would still have been in great danger. Unless he used his divine consciousness, death would have been almost inevitable.

They had unexpectedly coordinated perfectly at that moment, ultimately managing not just to injure but to kill the tigress. There was no way luck was not involved!

Du Bai’s remote manipulation of the power of fate seemed to have contributed to their success. This was truly fascinating.

“You, you guys…” At this moment, Cheng Zicheng saw the massive body of the tigress not far away.

Now relaxing, Zhang Haoxuan also noticed the body of the tigress and exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, how is it this big?!”

Previously, his focus was on the well-being of his students, and he hadn’t paid attention to the Winged Tiger. Now that things had settled down and all five children were alive and well, he finally processed what had happened.

The strength of demonic beasts was most often proportional to their size, and the Winged Tiger certainly fell into this category. The size of this Winged Tiger in front of them dwarfed an ordinary adult Winged Tiger, yet they had managed to kill it.

When Zhang Haoxuan looked at Tang San again, his face showed nothing but shock.

Tang San smiled wryly. “This is the result of everyone’s combined effort.”

Cheng Zicheng said, “Mayor, you’re so amazing. How did you get here? Thank goodness for you, or we would have been doomed!”

Zhang Haoxuan’s mouth twitched slightly. His arrival was indeed crucial; he had stopped the Winged Tiger King. However, this Winged Tiger in front of them had nothing to do with him!

But at this moment, he didn’t know what had happened, and knowing the secret of Tang San’s Mysterious Heaven Technique, he didn’t say much.

“Rest here and recover as quickly as possible. We still need to leave this area soon. Otherwise, we’ll be in trouble if the Winged Tiger King returns.” When he sat down, he visibly trembled, indicating that his earlier encounter with the Winged Tiger King had been anything but easy.

However, he couldn’t rest yet. He carefully examined Wu Bingji’s condition, aligning his broken bones correctly to prevent them from healing the wrong way. He also needed to monitor Gu Li and Du Bai and make sure nothing went wrong.

1. He has, in fact, absorbed some of the mayor’s bloodline power. This is an error in the raws. ☜

2. The original here is “Wind Tiger Transformation,” but for reasons pertaining to the later chapters, as well as consistency with the other transformations, we have decided to change it to Winged Tiger Transformation. ☜
