Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 154: Mei Gongzi-Peacock Transformation

Chapter 154: Mei Gongzi, Peacock Transformation

Tang San almost immediately spotted Mei Gongzi among the two groups of people.

Each group consisted of seven members, but she appeared to be the only human. The others were all demons.

Among Mei Gongzi’s group, Tang San recognized two individuals: the little bear that had once threatened him, and the other his “romantic rival,” the golden-haired young man.

Seeing Mei Gongzi, Tang San found his gaze lingering on her. Today, she was dressed in a form-fitting, green outfit that, together with her hair tied into a ponytail, accentuated her slender figure. The thirteen-year-old girl had begun to develop, and it seemed that in no time she would become a great beauty.

She stood at the end of the line, and her transformation was strange.

Originally, Mei Gongzi had black hair, but now, her long hair was a striking shade of blue and it fluttered with her movements. In her hand, she held a thin sword adorned with feathers hanging from the pommel….Are those peacock feathers?

Tang San gazed in surprise at the weapon in Mei Gongzi’s hand, a flash of realization sparking in his mind.

He almost instantly recalled Gu Longjiang’s story.

In Kali City, the ruling power was a formidable race. This demon race had once been a powerful presence even in the Ancestral Court. However, their strength had waned due to the death of their emperor and the absence of a new sovereign.

Even so, the current chieftain was still a Demon King—the Peacock Demon King.

From the transformation Mei Gongzi had undergone, it was evident that her Demonic God Transformation was the king of all birds, the peacock—the Peacock Transformation!

Her bloodline heritage belonged to the lineage of the ruler of Kali City!

Now, Tang San understood everything—why Mei Gongzi’s mother could open a milk tea shop in the center of the city, why Mei Gongzi could study at Kali City’s best academy, and why even the demons dared not harbor ill will toward her even though she was a human. It was all due to her bloodline!

She inherited the bloodline of the Peacock Clan, and it was clearly not just any ordinary peacock demon lineage. She had to be from the purest lineage of the Peacock Demon King, the only thing that could explain her eligibility to study at the Kali Academy.

Snap!

As Tang San rapidly processed these thoughts, he felt a sudden pain at the back of his head.

A low growl from Old Mao followed in his ears, “What are you looking at? Get back to work.”

“Ah, yes!” Tang San hastily replied and averted his gaze.

Tang San had already noticed that Mei Gongzi was really going at it! Even though she was positioned at the rear, she was certainly not sitting there doing nothing. Each swing of her Peacock Plume sent numerous tiny feathers flying, attacking opponents from mid to long range, disrupting their movements and creating opportunities for her teammates.

Whenever an opponent tried to approach her for a close-range attack, her teammates would defend with all their might, giving no chance to the adversary. She seemed to be the core of the team.

As for her side, that young demon with golden hair had grown far more robust, yet still retained a humanoid form, and he looked more like a human vassal with the Demonic God Transformation activated than an actual demon. His long golden hair radiated a dazzling light, and his hands had grown enormous. Each strike of his palms posed a significant threat to the opponent.

The Golden Lion Clan!

This was the greatest bloodline among the lion demon clans—a golden bloodline! Indeed, nothing short of formidable!

This young member of the Golden Lion Clan had at least an eighth-order cultivation. Mei Gongzi, in Tang San’s perception, was at the seventh order. What powerful bloodlines they both have!

The combatants on both sides were around the seventh order in strength, with only the two leaders of each side being at the eighth order.

Since Tang San only watched briefly, this was all he could observe. He couldn’t look any longer, as watching further would provoke Old Mao’s anger. However, having seen Mei Gongzi here today, Tang San was quite satisfied. What luck! The Celestial Fox Vision is truly remarkable!

Mei Gongzi naturally didn’t notice a lowly Tang San sweeping the floor as the battle between the two sides continued unabated.

Tang San could only steal glances occasionally while sweeping, trying to remember the feeling of those fleeting moments.

After observing a few times, he noticed that Mei Gongzi’s Demonic God Transformation didn’t cause much change in her physique, except for her hair and eyes turning a beautiful peacock blue, which added a bit of heroism and glamor to her appearance. Apart from that, there were no other changes. This was the characteristic of a very high-level Demonic God Transformation.

This made sense if she had inherited the bloodline of the Peacock Demon King. In that case, her Peacock Transformation was likely a first-tier Demonic God Transformation, on the same level as the Celestial Fox Transformation.

No wonder she holds such a status even among the demons.

It could be said that Mei Gongzi is the first human Tang San has seen who held a truly high position among the demon clans.

The battle was intense, and Tang San could only observe occasionally, catching glimpses of the combat. Mei Gongzi’s team had the upper hand; her peacock feathers seemed to exist between reality and void, possessing great power and always appearing at critical moments. The young man from the Golden Lion clan on her side was also powerful, his eighth-order strength allowing him to bear the brunt of the enemy team’s attacks and create more opportunities for victory.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was apparent, so the spar did not last long and ended with Mei Gongzi’s team emerging victorious.

After the battle, both sides stood together, seemingly discussing something. While quickly cleaning, Tang San occasionally glanced over, his attention entirely on Mei Gongzi and that guy from the Golden Lion clan.

He wasn’t worried about them having something between them. After all, Mei Gongzi was still too young! But he still didn’t like seeing her getting too close to other men, especially when the other party looked so outstanding.

The young man from the Golden Lion clan looked to be about the same age as Wu Bingji, yet he already had eighth-order strength. Moreover, being from a golden bloodline, his talent and potential were unquestionable.

Fortunately, Mei Gongzi appeared indifferent to everyone, clearly keeping her distance. Her teammates also showed great respect for her, and the young man from the Golden Lion clan did not deliberately approach Mei Gongzi at this time, which somewhat relieved Tang San.

Become stronger. I need to become stronger faster!

Jealousy, indeed, is a cardinal sin. Seeing them together as a team, Tang San admitted he was jealous. This jealousy made him want to become stronger faster and strive with all his vigor. Otherwise, if that guy actually turned out to be a love rival, how could Tang San stand a chance against him in this world where strength reigned supreme?

After Mei Gongzi and her group finished their discussion, they left, and the demon battle area turned quiet. Tang San efficiently completed his cleaning within the allotted time. After finishing, he followed Old Mao quietly and returned to the small house. Expploore 𝒖ptod𝒂te stories at no/𝒗el/bin(.)c𝒐m

His afternoon cleaning tasks were not canceled due to the additional task; he continued cleaning the plaza in front of the main academic building in the afternoon.

While cleaning, his mind was filled with the image of Mei Gongzi in her Peacock Transformation state. That shade of peacock blue was indeed breathtakingly beautiful. And she was only in her early teens! Who knew how much more attractive she would be as a fully-grown woman?

It was good to see her. The Celestial Fox Vision had indeed brought him good luck. When he went back, Tang San had every intention to continue cultivating with Du Bai, striving to reach the fourth order sooner and cast more luck on himself. Even though this manner of cultivation would exhaust him, what was a little weakness to Tang San? Moreover, with his strong liquid spiritual power, the degree to which he was weakened would surely not be as great as in the case of Du Bai.

The afternoon cleaning duties were relatively easy. Just as Tang San was about to finish, he suddenly felt a tremor in his heart and instinctively looked up.

Mei Gongzi, who now had her usual black hair, quickly walked toward the school’s main gate.

Is she going out?
