Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 160: Discerning Eye of Heaven-Evolved!

Chapter 160: Discerning Eye of Heaven, Evolved!

The pursuer behind was not slow either. Bursts of lightning continuously erupted, felling trees in a ferocious bombardment. More terrifyingly, a vast expanse of lightning was accumulating above its head, and it was clearly preparing for a wide-range attack on Tang San.

Tang San did not run toward the direction of the academy’s small town but instead toward the mountainside. Before alerting the upper echelons of Kali Academy, he had to escape from his pursuer; otherwise, he would face serious trouble.

How could Du Bai’s luck fail me? I didn’t even feel any sense of misfortune until the last second! Yet I couldn’t even make it into Kali Academy. Really…

Leopard Flash, Leopard Flash, Leopard Flash!

At this moment, Tang San used Leopard Flash like it was nothing, his figure darting away swiftly like a shooting star.

The figure behind him let out continuous roars, no less thunderous than the lightning crackling around it, as it flew through the air in rapid pursuit. Below its feet was a huge sphere of lightning, with a vast expanse of lightning converging above its head.

With a fierce wave of its hand, dozens of lightning bolts descended from the sky, covering all directions where Tang San could escape.

Tang San pushed the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track as far as he could, but even in combination with Leopard Flash, it had a limit. To save his life, he could no longer care about exposing himself. He prepared to activate the Chrono Croc Transformation and use Time Freeze if lightning approached, giving himself a chance to escape. With the perception of the Discerning Eye of Heaven, he could make that decision in a split second. Ne/w novel chapt𝒆rs are published on no/vel(/bin(.)co/m

But at that moment, Tang San suddenly felt an intense heat surge in his eyes. The next instant, his sea of consciousness exploded.

Tang San felt as if a third eye, a vertical one, was rising above his head, and a flash of white light instantly enveloped his body. His sea of consciousness seemed to boil for a moment, experiencing a significant surge in an instant.

The lightning-element demon pursuing Tang San from behind was also surprised, as it discovered that under its wide-range lightning attack, the other party was somehow dodging using some kind of weird footwork, and not a single bolt of lightning was hitting its mark.

Just as it prepared to continue the pursuit, suddenly, the lightning ball under its feet became unstable, and the next moment, a muffled thunder echoed.

Is it going to rain?

As natural lightning filled the sky, the lightning ball beneath the demon’s feet erupted violently, frightening it into a quick backflip.

The lightning ball transformed into hundreds of electric beams, exploding and covering the view ahead with blinding light.

Why the heck did it suddenly explode?! The lightning-element demon youth, upon landing, was filled with a mix of shock and anger. By the time it thought to pursue again, it had already lost sight and sense of the other party.

Soon after, a powerful individual from Kali Academy arrived.

“Luo Huanyu, what happened?” asked the monstrous demon teacher.

“A petty thief, not very strong. I think it was from the Flash Leopard tribe, it was constantly using Leopard Flash and seemed to be at the fourth order. It was pretty thin, so it might be a human vassal of the Flash Leopard tribe,” replied the demon youth, Luo Huanyu.

“A fourth-order petty thief and you couldn’t even catch it? Can you be any more useless?” the burly demon teacher bellowed angrily.

Luo Huanyu’s mouth twitched slightly. “Teacher, it’s not my fault. Just now, my lightning ball exploded suddenly because it was influenced by natural lightning, and he escaped while I was trying to control it.”

The teacher’s nose twitched, and his eyes blazed with even greater anger, “You’ve been drinking, haven’t you? You rascal! Drunk to the point you can’t even control a lightning ball, you’re simply useless. Wait till we get back and see how I deal with you.”

“I… I’m sorry, teacher,” Luo Huanyu said helplessly. Indeed, he had drunk quite a bit with two classmates. However, he had an inherently strong perception of the lightning element and he was a very diligent cultivator of the lightning element. He had noticed Tang San immediately when he felt the energy of the lightning change in the surroundings. To some extent, Leopard Flash used the power of electricity for movement, so he could naturally sense it.

In any case, Luo Huanyu was absolutely pissed. What could a fourth-order Flash Leopard petty thief even do if it infiltrated the academy? Wasn’t this just making a fuss over nothing? And now, he had been caught red-handed by the teacher!

When these students went out to have fun, the teachers generally turned a blind eye. But being caught in the act was another matter entirely, and punishment was inevitable.

“Don’t let me catch you, or I’ll tear you apart,” Luo Huanyu muttered venomously, looking in the direction Tang San had vanished. The next moment, the demon teacher grabbed him by the neck and dragged him back.

Tang San zigzagged through Kali City. After confirming that he had shaken off his pursuer, he finally found a dark hiding place.

His breathing was clearly rapid, but there was a strange expression on his face.

When his sea of consciousness boiled, he understood something: the luck bestowed upon him by Du Bai hadn’t disappeared, let alone failed. His previous judgment about his luck had been correct.

There was no real danger. More importantly, under the pressure of the pursuit from behind, the Discerning Eye of Heaven finally advanced! That invisible vertical eye rising above my head was the manifestation of the Celestial Fox Vision!

For the first time, he felt the powerful force of luck.

At this moment, the sky was filled with rolling thunder, and raindrops had begun to fall. Was this a coincidence? No, it was luck. True luck.

The lightning ball under the feet of the demon pursuing him exploded suddenly—was that a coincidence? No, of course, it was also luck.

The fact that I could escape all the thunderbolts using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and the Leopard Flash was also due to luck! The luck brought by the fourth-order Celestial Fox Vision!

After all this luck had been bestowed upon him, Tang San now felt like his whole body was on the verge of collapse. Only by cultivating to replenish his energy could he feel somewhat better.

An important thing to note was that his own cultivation level was at the sixth order, and a sixth-order body had problems enduring the backlash of a fourth-order bloodline. The effect was ridiculously intense. This showed Tang San how difficult it was for Du Bai to cultivate the Celestial Fox Vision and why the latter felt weak every day after exhausting his own spiritual power.

But he had truly witnessed the Celestial Fox Vision’s power today, and even someone like him was thoroughly impressed.

His pursuer was an eighth-order powerhouse, while the Celestial Fox Vision was only at the fourth order. And yet the luck bestowed upon Tang San by the fourth-order Celestial Fox Vision rendered his eighth-order opponent unable to pursue him. Although there was a backlash, what if my Celestial Fox Vision was stronger? Would it cause the other guy to be killed by his own lightning?

This Celestial Fox Transformation felt like a unique gift. The fourth-order Discerning Eye of Heaven was his greatest gain tonight.

At this moment, despite enduring waves of weakness, he could feel the spiritual power in his sea of consciousness further condensing, allowing for more space to accommodate spiritual energy.

Only slightly over a tenth of his sea of consciousness was filled with liquid spiritual power. Compared to his body’s capacity to bear the energy of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, his sea of consciousness could hold a far vaster amount of spiritual power, supporting him all the way to the peak of the ninth order without any issue.

He had to further enhance his Discerning Eye of Heaven. The Celestial Fox Vision was important, but the original Discerning Eye and its components were also useful. Now that the Celestial Fox Vision had improved, he could find a way to enhance the others and improve the overall Discerning Eye of Heaven before the next upgrade of the Celestial Fox Vision.

Of course, even though Du Bai’s current rate of cultivation was much faster than before, pushing forward the Celestial Fox Vision was still a challenge. It might take at least a year or two to reach a higher level.

The fourth order, which allowed him to directly bestow luck upon himself, was sufficient for now. He was finally taking control of his own fate—quite literally.

After resting for more than an hour and observing the direction of Kali Academy, Tang San finally took a detour and quietly returned to the town.
