Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 301: Breakthrough

Chapter 301: Breakthrough

Upon reflecting on the wonders brought by Tang San, their expressions toward him underwent a drastic change.

Tang San’s gaze swept over the young girls, sensing the vibrant life force emanating from them. Their cultivation had improved, and training in the Golden Valley had indeed doubled their results.

“Not bad, everyone has improved. Keep it up.”

Red One said with a smile, “Everyone’s working hard. Our goal is to be able to help you in the future, Master!”

Red Eighteen also interjected, “Master, this place is really great, but it’s a bit lonely. When will you take us out to play?”

She was the youngest, about the same age as Tang San, but she was also the most daring.

Tang San replied, “Wait a bit longer. When all of you have reached the fourth order, I’ll consider taking you out. So you need to work even harder.”

Red One’s eyes lit up. “Can we really go out?”

Tang San said, “Of course. Even though I bought you, you are all free. If you truly wish to leave one day, no one will stop you. But for now, it’s impossible, as you don’t yet have the strength to protect yourselves. So you need to keep working hard.”

“Thank you, Master.” Red One was excited. “Being able to go out occasionally is enough; we won’t leave you. Everything we have is because of you.”

Tang San simply smiled and said nothing.

“Little Tang, oh, I mean, Brother Tang, aren’t you going to introduce us?” A hesitant voice came from behind, and without looking back, Tang San knew who it was.

“Master and I rescued these girls from a major auction. They were originally slaves of the Crimson Fox clan. Because their appearances were too striking and could cause unnecessary trouble in the city, my teacher and I brought them here to live. This is Red One, and the rest follow in order of age, up to Red Eighteen.”

Tang San turned and introduced the Crimson Fox girls to the approaching Wu Bingji, Du Bai, Gu Li, and Cheng Zicheng.

“Little Tang, is this the Divine Realm? I really think, could you be the reincarnation of a god? This place is just too wonderful.” Du Bai rubbed his hands together, his gaze sweeping over the Crimson Fox girls, unable to hide his excitement.

In his heart, Tang San thought, Well, you’re close enough. Not a god, but a God King.

“You’re overthinking it, go rest now. Everyone else, go and cultivate.”

The latter sentence was naturally addressed to the Crimson Fox girls.

Du Bai had planned to go forward and introduce himself to the girls, but Wu Bingji hooked his arm around his neck and walked him back to the Golden Tree.

Zhang Haoxuan shook his head with a hint of helplessness and said to Tang San, “Go ahead and break through, I’ll protect you.”

“Alright.”

Inside Tang San, his energy surged violently. Indeed, it was time for a breakthrough. Ne/w novel chapt𝒆rs are published on no/vel(/bin(.)co/m

He also moved to the other side of the Golden Tree, sat down cross-legged on the spot, and began to enter a meditative state, focusing on the rich life energy from the tree

He had taken a full year to go from the initial seventh order to the peak of the seventh order, consistently suppressing his cultivation. His spiritual power had fully recovered, and with his energy devouring ability, his cultivation could go as fast as he wanted. If he wished, he could even attempt to elevate his cultivation to the peak of the ninth order within the year and try to break through to the god level.

Of course, he wouldn’t do that, as rushing things could cause many issues and potentially destabilize his foundation. Especially since this world was different from his previous one, with many natural laws differing. Thus, despite having been in this world for a number of years already, he was still exploring some aspects.

Over the past year, he continuously compressed his cultivation, refined his spiritual power, and nurtured his divine consciousness. He focused more of his energy on cultivating his divine consciousness. After reaching the peak of the seventh order in his Mysterious Heaven Technique, he constantly compressed and solidified his power. He also refrained from randomly absorbing energy from others. With different bloodline purities, the effects of absorption varied, and without a particularly powerful bloodline, it wasn’t worth absorbing anymore.

Moreover, breaking through to the god level in this world was not an easy feat and required much more preparation.

After absorbing the bloodline power of a ninth-order elephant demon and a ninth-order leopard demon one after the other, however, his cultivation could no longer be suppressed. He had to advance, and he had to do it now.

Tang San now possessed six types of Demonic God Transformations including the Discerning Eye of Heaven and the Peacock Transformation—two top-tier bloodline powers—and also the Golden Roc, Chrono Croc, Blue Silver Emperor, and Wind Tiger.

Among them, the Discerning Eye of Heaven was still at the fifth order, as the main bloodline in it was the Celestial Fox bloodline. In other words, without Du Bai’s evolution, he could hardly further develop the Discerning Eye of Heaven. The bloodline power of the Aetherhorn Deers he absorbed a few days ago only served to consolidate the Discerning Eye of Heaven imprint and significantly enhance its elemental sensitivity.

The Peacock Transformation was at the seventh order, since that was Mei Gongzi’s cultivation when Tang San absorbed her energy. Thus, the strongest bloodline imprint Tang San had was that of the Peacock Transformation.

The Golden Roc Transformation was at the seventh order, the Chrono Croc Transformation at the sixth, and both the Blue Silver Emperor and Wind Tiger Transformation were at the seventh order.

Once he advanced to the eighth order, only the bloodline powers of the Blue Silver Emperor and Wind Tiger Transformation could potentially break through along with him. The rest still required his companions to continue with their own breakthroughs before they could be elevated.

Relatively speaking, his divine consciousness was continuously nurtured and steadily recovering. The recovery wasn’t too fast, but it was very stable, and that was what mattered. To reach the god level once more, the most important thing was his divine consciousness. Before reaching the peak of the ninth order, he needed to find a way to restore his divine consciousness to the state it was in when he first reached the god level, to stand a greater chance.

As his soul core revolved, the life essence around nourished his body, and the cultivation that Tang San had been suppressing exploded instantly. His body radiated light, and everything around him suddenly brightened. He was absorbing a great amount of life energy from his surroundings, giving him an almost translucent appearance.

On the other side, the members of the Shrek Squad, who had just started to rest and had not yet entered a meditative state, immediately felt what was going on.

Du Bai’s eyes lit up, murmuring to himself, “A breakthrough? Eighth order? Little Tang reached the eighth order too?”

His face was, unsurprisingly, full of envy.

Wu Bingji was the first to reach the eighth order, but when Tang San first arrived at Redemption Academy, Wu Bingji was already at the sixth order, while Tang San was only at the fourth order. And now, Tang San was about to catch up to their senior brother, reaching the eighth order as well. How could that not make the others greatly envious?

Eighth order, that was the eighth order! Among the teachers, Mu Yunyu and Mu Enqing were only at the eighth order themselves. Tang San now possessed the same level of power as his teachers. Moreover, his true capabilities were certainly not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

Wu Bingji felt this most profoundly. In yesterday’s battle, he clearly sensed that the snowstorm had been almost entirely under Tang San’s control, with very little input from Wu Bingji. He had studied with Tang San for just two days, after all; how could he possibly have learned such a powerful combination skill that required controlling not only his own power but also that of others? At the time, Tang San had told him to just freely release ice elemental energy and condense ice and snow, and to leave the rest to him.

In fact, Tang San single-handedly managed the entire battlefield, and from Wu Bingji’s perspective, he alone was enough to defeat the Bloodshed Team. Tang San had always been reluctant to reveal too much of his abilities, so Wu Bingji still did not know what his real strength was. Now that he had also broken through to the eighth order, without a doubt, he was the true top powerhouse among the students of the Redemption Academy.
