Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 276: Becoming a God in the Endless Blue Sea?

Chapter 276: Becoming a God in the Endless Blue Sea?

“The sea?” The surprise on Zhang Haoxuan’s face grew even more intense. “How could that be? The Endless Blue Sea teems with marine life, including many formidable beings. If I rashly attempt to break through to the god level at sea, what if the anomalies attract the attention of sea beings?”

Tang San replied, “The Endless Blue Sea does have many sea beings, but the powerful ones live in the deep sea. We don’t have to go that far; just away from the shore will do. Our Kali City has god-level beings, and there is a significant distance from here to the coast. We’ll only venture a certain distance into the Endless Blue Sea, where encountering formidable marine creatures is unlikely. I’ll protect you. And what will they think once you break through to become a god on the high seas, even if our side detects the anomaly in Kali City? Their first thought would likely be that a marine creature has ascended to godhood. Would they rashly investigate? Perhaps they would have before, but given the deterrence of the Sea God, I believe that with the current situation in Kali City, they wouldn’t investigate now. If anything, they’d grow more convinced of the existence of that Sea God.”

Zhang Haoxuan looked at Tang San suspiciously and said, “You talk about that Sea God as if you have some connection to him. Aren’t you afraid that if there is a Sea God, he might swallow both your master and you whole?”

Tang San smiled faintly. “You’re not wrong. That Sea God really does have a bit of a connection to me.”

“Ah? You…” Zhang Haoxuan stepped back in shock.

Tang San quickly waved his hands, saying, “Don’t misunderstand. When I say there’s a connection, I mean I’m connected to him just like I’m connected to the fog in this valley.”

“You mean that Sea God from before was conjured by you using an array? But what about that pressure? That was genuinely the pressure of a Demon Emperor!” Zhang Haoxuan’s face was filled with disbelief.

Tang San shrugged, “That’s the marvel of the array. Using a series of chained arrays makes it possible to temporarily create that kind of pressure. It was done by harnessing the power of nature, using a vast amount of water elemental energy. If you don’t believe me, I can set up another one for you.”

“Hell no, do you want to scare Kali City to death?!”

Zhang Haoxuan, of course, couldn’t let him do it again. Without the existence of the Sky Swallowing Illusionary Chain Array, he wouldn’t have believed that Tang San could achieve such a feat. But having witnessed the wonders and essence of this chain array himself and personally benefiting from the growth of the Golden Tree, he couldn’t help but believe.

He looked at Tang San, his face showing a mix of wonder and fear. “Is there anything you can’t do?”

Tang San chuckled, “There are still many things I can’t do.”

He couldn’t help but recall various memories from his past life, his greatest regret undoubtedly being his failure to protect his most loved one.

He breathed deeply to steady his emotions and said, “Anyway, please consider my proposal. Make more preparations in the meantime. I’ll first head to the Great Beast Fighting Arena to claim my noble status. Once you’ve decided, we can visit the Endless Blue Sea.”

“Hmm, alright, let me think about it.” Zhang Haoxuan did not disagree immediately, but neither did he rush to agree; he needed to consider it. He was still not quite ready to give up on the headquarters.

After all, the headquarters had more experience safeguarding humans on their path to godhood. It was much safer there than anywhere else…except he couldn’t help but take into account Tang San’s warning.

Tang San gave the Crimson Fox girls some cultivation instructions and then returned to Redemption Academy with Zhang Haoxuan.

Over the past year, not only had he been making progress, but his companions had as well. With the help of various spirit herbs and fruits grown in the Golden Valley, all students at Redemption Academy had made progress to varying degrees.

Du Bai’s Celestial Fox Transformation was still at the fifth order, but his spiritual power was long since comparable to that of an eighth-order powerhouse. This naturally pushed forward his cultivation, and breaking through to the sixth order was just a matter of time. The seventh order, however, was a matter of concern.

Wu Bingji’s progress was even faster. He had broken through to the eighth order and officially transitioned from student to assistant instructor. Due to Tang San’s low profile over the past year, Wu Bingji was recognized as the top among the students.

Cheng Zicheng’s Golden Roc Transformation had progressed rapidly, and she was nearing the peak of the seventh order, second only to Wu Bingji. Gu Li’s Chrono Croc Transformation was more troublesome; he was still at the sixth order, although steadily improving. Advancing further to the seventh order would mark a significant transformation, something Tang San was very much looking forward to.

The reason Tang San planned to visit the Ancestral Court had multiple purposes: to investigate the situation of the Ancestral Court was one, and to look for opportunities or cop bargains was another. His motivation for doing so wasn’t for himself; he had a detailed plan for his cultivation, and with the assistance of the Golden Tree, he wouldn’t face any issues before reaching the peak of the ninth order. What he truly desired was to accelerate the growth of his companions. Their growth was his, especially in the Celestial Fox Transformation and Chrono Croc Transformation.

While the other students did not advance as rapidly as the members of their small team, especially in terms of bloodline differences, many still reached above the sixth order. The Redemption Academy continued to enroll students, expanding its scale to nearly double what it was when Tang San first arrived.

However, most of these new students had little impression of Tang San, as he seldom appeared within the academy. His time spent in the Redemption Society was even less than the time he spent as Sweeper Tang at Kali Academy.

Upon returning to Redemption Academy, Tang San did not linger but went straight to the Great Beast Fighting Arena. To achieve a noble title in the Great Beast Fighting Arena, he first needed to understand the rules.

Zhang Haoxuan had told him last time that winning ten consecutive matches would suffice for the demon race, but it would require winning a hundred successive matches for human vassals.

Not to mention whether winning a hundred consecutive matches was even feasible, just the time it would require made it a ridiculous hurdle. Even if he was capable of fighting a hundred times in a row, scheduling so many matches at the Great Beast Fighting Arena alone was a complete nightmare.

He wanted to see if any shortcut could allow him to quickly achieve his goal of becoming a noble.

Tang San first checked on his companions. The academy’s ban had been lifted half a year ago, so they were free to leave now, but Gu Li was in closed-door cultivation, striving to break through to the seventh order. Cheng Zicheng was not there, reportedly having gone to buy things in the city. Wu Bingji and Du Bai were free, so Tang San simply invited them to accompany him to the Great Beast Fighting Arena for a visit.

“Little Tang, you’re always so mysterious; one can hardly see you these days! You used to be here in the evenings, but nowadays, you don’t even come back at night. Are you living at Kali Academy?” asked Wu Bingji.

Du Bai looked at Tang San with a mix of reproach and longing, “Exactly, you don’t come back to accompany me in cultivation. Without your company, when will I be able to break through to the sixth order?”

Tang San glanced at him irritably. “To break through to the sixth order, you must put in some effort. I can’t just make some Celestial Fox bloodline power pop into existence! I spend more time living at Kali Academy. The spiritual energy there is more abundant, so I can cultivate faster.”

Wu Bingji also ignored Du Bai, asking, “What do you want to do at the Great Beast Fighting Arena?”

Tang San replied, “I want to participate in the Great Beast Fighting Arena combat to obtain a noble title. Afterward, I plan to visit the Ancestral Court with my master to see if there are any opportunities.” Diiscover new 𝒔tories at n𝒐ve/lbin(.)c/o𝒎

“To the Ancestral Court?” Wu Bingji and Du Bai exclaimed in unison, their eyes lighting up immediately.

The Ancestral Cour was the most revered existence on the entire Daemon Continent. The most powerful beings of the demon and nymph races resided there. It was also sait to house the core spiritual veins of the entire Daemon Continent, making it a sacred place for all demon and nymph clans.
