Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 148: Second Acceleration

Chapter 148: Second Acceleration

The fundamental skills necessary to use the Soul-Chasing Cluster Ball were undoubtedly challenging to learn. Even Tang San, with his liquid spiritual power and experience from his past, needed a long time to accumulate and control the necessary energy. For Wu Bingji to master it certainly wouldn’t be an easy task.

However, in comparison, the ice element was indeed much more straightforward to cultivate. In this respect, Tang San didn’t deceive Wu Bingji. The ice element was more stable than the wind element to begin with, and it was easy to fashion into a solid shape. Moreover, the concentrated energy could be detonated to great effect. When utilized well, it made the Soul-Chasing Cluster Ball much easier to use than the wind element. Of course, it still required step-by-step practice.

Tang San’s method of propelling the ice needle for a second launch was inspired, to some extent, by the guns and the cluster bombs of his previous life. Theoretically, it was perfectly feasible to reproduce the same effects using the energy in this world.

“The base of the ice cylinder must be stable, and the ice bead inside needs to be independent, which means you should be able to detonate it independently rather than together with the ice cylinder’s base. Then, the front ice needle should be tightly combined with the ice bead, and the ice needle should sit inside the cylinder without leaving any gaps. This way, when you detonate, all the force can be fully applied to the ice needle. At the same time, you must ensure that the recoil is contained. Do you understand what I mean?” Tang San continued to explain to Wu Bingji.

“I kinda understand,” Wu Bingji nodded. Being very intelligent, he had roughly grasped the method through Tang San’s description.

“In that case, let me do a demonstration for you without focusing on power. This way, you can see it.” Tang San extended his right hand as he spoke, and a wind needle formed from wind elemental energy gradually took shape in his palm. Then, a small wind bead was condensed behind the wind needle, followed by a base to encase the wind bead and the needle. The wind elemental energy at the tail end of the wind needle expanded slightly, sealing the gaps.

“Just like that. Watch closely!” Tang San said as he detonated the windball. With a whistling sound, the wind needle at the front was propelled forward, piercing into the wall and leaving a dent in it, clearly not all the way through.

Tang San’s use of the wind element was impressive, and the underlying principle was fully demonstrated before Wu Bingji. ALL new 𝒄hapters 𝒐n nov(𝒆)lbin(.)com

“Let’s do it again.” Tang San once more condensed a wind needle with a propeller. He flicked it with his finger, and the wind needle shot like lightning. After traveling three meters, a burst of green light at the tail flashed as the internal wind ball exploded. The fast-moving wind needle accelerated a second time with the burst of green light, shooting out like a phantom and piercing the wall, this time creating a small hole.

Wu Bingji inhaled sharply. Now, it was crystal clear. Tang San had demonstrated the feasibility of secondary propulsion right in front of him. As for Wu Bingji, he was very confident in his compressed ice needles. The needles themselves had impressive penetrating power. If his ice needle could achieve a secondary acceleration, its power would be incomparable to the wind needles Tang San had just used.

This concept of secondary acceleration alone opened a completely new door when it came to hidden weapons, not to mention the Soul-Chasing Cluster Ball.

Imagine if many ice needles were hidden within an ice ball. The ice ball explodes, propelling the ice needles, which undergo a secondary acceleration, immensely boosting their penetrating power. The range of attack could be significantly extended. If the ice needles penetrate an enemy’s body, and if the energy condensed into ice needles is properly calculated, they could even explode inside the target. The power of that…

As Wu Bingji fantasized, his eyes blazed with excitement, his mouth agape, almost drooling. If he could successfully execute this technique, the power would be unimaginable!

“Tang San, this, this…”

Tang San chuckled, “No need to thank me. This technique suits you best, senior brother! First, perfect this enhanced version of the ice needle, and then we can practice the next step. It’s not hard to condense one, but to do it quickly depends on your control of the ice elements. It won’t take long to succeed with your ice elemental physique. The quicker you condense them and produce more, the greater your combat power will be.”

“Mhm, mhm,” Wu Bingji nodded repeatedly. He didn’t even dare to dream of using the Soul-Chasing Cluster Ball right now. For now, he just hoped to master this secondary propulsion technique.

“I’ll go ahead then. See you at the cafeteria later.”

Tang San was confident about convincing Zhang Haoxuan. After all, Zhang Haoxuan was privy to his secrets. He just needed to tell Zhang Haoxuan that he wanted to visit Kali Academy to observe the abilities of various demonic beast races and find bloodlines more suitable for him to absorb. Zhang Haoxuan would likely agree. After all, Tang San had proven time and again his ability to protect himself and his mature mindset.

Tang San taught Wu Bingji not just for assistance in this particular case, but also with the genuine hope of enhancing the strength of their small team. Cheng Zicheng and Gu Li would take a long time to master the Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer; for the mascot, having the Purple Demon Eyes was the most effective. Wu Bingji was exceptionally gifted in terms of elemental control, and helping him strengthen this aspect was the best way to enhance his combat abilities. Once Wu Bingji broke through to the seventh order, things would change completely.

The following day, Wu Bingji quietly approached Tang San and told him that there was, in fact, a way to do things so he could get to Kali Academy.

Tang San couldn’t become a sparring partner; he was only ten years old, and to do so at such a young age without raising suspicion among the demons was just wishful thinking. However, if he just wanted to enter Kali Academy, that was different. Besides sparring with the demons, there were other jobs at Kali Academy! Being a janitor was always an option if he couldn’t be a sparring partner.

The academy town was created to serve Kali Academy, and Zhang Haoxuan managed the entire town. Therefore, how to provide services to Kali Academy was entirely up to Tang San’s master.

“Do you want to observe?” Zhang Haoxuan asked Tang San when they met at noon.

“Yeah, I want to see if there’s a Demonic God Transformation more suitable for me. I’m now at the sixth order and I should be able to integrate another ability. The stronger the bloodline I integrate, the greater my power will be!” Tang San said to Zhang Haoxuan.

Zhang Haoxuan frowned slightly, “Are you sure you can merge with a higher-tier Demonic God Transformation?” The ones he had seen Tang San integrate before were almost all low-tier.

Tang San replied, “Not only that, but I can also switch between them.”

He did not want to hide this from Zhang Haoxuan anyway. After all, Zhang Haoxuan already knew his most important secret, and knowing more would enable him to better cooperate with Tang San. Whether initially through his divine consciousness or later through the Celestial Fox Vision, Tang San was sure that this master could be trusted. Otherwise, he would probably have been taken away by the Redemption Society and someone would be experimenting on him right now.

“Hmm?” Zhang Haoxuan looked at him in surprise.

“Freeze!” Tang San commanded in a low voice.

Zhang Haoxuan’s body stiffened slightly. It was just for an instant, but the next moment, his eyes widened.

Is this… Time Freeze? Gu Li’s Chrono Croc Transformation?!

“You…” Zhang Haoxuan looked at Tang San in shock, suddenly feeling like he couldn’t breathe.

Tang San grinned. “I’ve spent plenty of time with Gu Li and slowly absorbed it. It replaced the Ironhide Shield that I originally got from a rhino demon.”

Zhang Haoxuan inhaled sharply. The Chrono Croc Transformation was a second-tier Demonic God Transformation bloodline! It was one of the top bloodlines in the entire Redemption Society. If Tang San could learn the Chrono Croc Transformation, that means he can also acquire high-tier abilities…

As he was still in shock, he saw Tang San’s back light up with an orange-red glow, and two wings of light unfolded behind him, stirring the air and lifting him up.

Golden Roc Transformation!
