Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 95: Accepting A Task

Chapter 95: Accepting A Task

Closing the door behind him, Tang San let out a long sigh. He quickly went to his bedroom, got on his bed, and took out his small storage bag, removing all the coins. The naturae coins shone brightly, pulsating with intense elemental energy.

After counting the amount, he carefully put all the coins into the bag.

He didn’t rush into meditation, as his mind was not yet calm enough.

His mind was filled with memories of Mei Gongzi’s every frown and smile he had witnessed today.

Even though he was just a stranger to her, and not even an outstanding one at that, she still showed concern for him. Perhaps it was the kind of care stemming from a subconscious feeling of kinship.

When Tang San was reborn in this world to find his wife, there were a few things he was worried about. The first was whether he could even find his wife. The second was whether the wife he found would still have the same heart as in her previous life. Even in a place like the Daemon Continent, he was not the least bit concerned about his wife being reincarnated as a demon. He did, however, fear a significant change in her personality.

Now, it seemed that fate still favored him, guiding him to find her.

Although her appearance and temperament had changed somewhat, she was still kind and beautiful. And she had actually become a human! If she was a human vassal, then she had some demon bloodline, that much was clear. But did that matter?

In his previous life, his wife had been a soul beast, a Soft-Boned Rabbit that cultivated for a hundred thousand years to become human. Tang San couldn’t care less about things like that.

Excitement was his only emotion at the moment. Seeing Mei Gongzi again and feeling her presence and kindness was truly incredible.

Right now, he didn’t have the right to disturb her. He needed to become stronger, much stronger. Once he was powerful enough, he would have the right to be by her side, to protect her. To make her fall in love with him again, to make her his wife again, and to help her cultivate to a godly level. Then, they could truly be reunited as a family.

Although the task was arduous and the road long, a thousand-mile journey started with a single step, and going to see her today had been precisely that one step.

His heart gradually calmed, and his determination to cultivate diligently replaced his excitement. Seeing Mei Gongzi was his most significant motivation for cultivation.

He sat cross-legged on his bed, quickly sinking into meditation. He decided that tonight, he had to completely absorb the remaining power of Feng Xiong’s bloodline and push forward the level of his Mysterious Heaven Technique. Once he absorbed all of Feng Xiong’s bloodline power, the energy of the Mysterious Heaven Technique should be able to reach close to the mid-level of the fifth order, while his Wind Wolf Transformation imprint reaching the peak of the fifth order would be no problem.

A night of hard work thus passed quickly.

The next day’s classes were as usual.

In the morning physical training, Tang San voluntarily added extra weight to himself. Without needing Mu Yunyu’s urging, he put on ten additional weights and began a full sprint.

Watching his determined eyes, Mu Yunyu felt no need to remind him of anything.

When Tang San returned at noon, drenched in sweat, he was no longer lagging; this time, he placed eighth. Considering that this was only his second training class, his peers were shocked once more.

After lunch, Tang San found Wu Bingji.

“Senior brother, I want to take on a mission,” said Tang San to Wu Bingji.

“You want to take on a mission? Are you in a hurry?” Wu Bingji asked, somewhat surprised.

Tang San nodded. “I want to earn some money.”

“That’s true. We do need various resources for cultivation. The more resources, the faster. What kind of task do you want to take on?”

Without hesitation, Tang San replied, “I want to try an academy sparring task.”

Wu Bingji was shocked. “You want to be a sparring partner at Kali Academy? That’s even more dangerous than hunting demonic beasts, you know? After all, those demon students sometimes can’t hold back. Also, your control over Wind Blade…”

Tang San replied, “I won’t reveal too much. The income from being a sparring partner seems quite high; I want to try it.”

Wu Bingji pondered momentarily, but then shook his head. “You are still too young; I can’t agree. I’ll ask the teacher.”

“Okay.” Tang San nodded.

Choosing to be a sparring partner was a well-thought-out decision. This choice was because, as a sparring partner, he could encounter more demons. With his current mastery of the Mysterious Heaven Technique and his understanding of the relationship between his cultivation and the demons’ bloodline energy, he could certainly manage to devour bloodline energy without the opponent feeling much of it.

Small amounts of bloodline energy here and there wouldn’t do much, but being able to do that repeatedly across a large number of sparring sessions would allow him to accumulate a lot, and it would undoubtedly speed up the cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Technique.

The devouring power of the Mysterious Heaven Technique was an excellent shortcut in cultivation for Tang San. He had reached the fifth order, and his actual combat power was actually at the sixth. He had the ability to protect himself and hide his actual level. With things being as they were, what he needed to do was quickly improve himself and elevate his cultivation to a higher level.

The demon students who enrolled in Kali Academy were from families with pure bloodlines. The Wind Wolf clan was only a fourth-tier demon clan, yet the pure bloodline of the Wind Wolf King had greatly benefited Tang San. What more to say about the more powerful bloodlines in the higher tiers? Therefore, acting as a sparring partner was the best way for him to cultivate.

As for the various Demonic God Transformation imprints he inevitably obtained through devouring, he could choose to discard or assimilate them as needed.

Wu Bingji immediately went to find Guan Longjiang, but to Tang San’s surprise, the person who came to see him before the afternoon classes wasn’t Guan Longjiang but his own master, the mayor.

“Little Tang, come with me,” Zhang Haoxuan called Tang San out and led him back to the room.

Tang San closed the door of the room.

“Master, why are you here?” The most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n0velbj)n((.))co/m

Zhang Haoxuan frowned slightly and said, “I heard from Guan Longjiang that you want to participate in sparring at Kali Academy. Why?”

Tang San explained, “During the past few days, I learned a lot more about demons and their bloodlines, especially the bloodline tiers. I’ve compared my bloodline imprints; they are relatively weak, mostly from the fourth-order demon clans. To become stronger, I need to devour bloodlines of more powerful tiers. Kali Academy is the best choice for this.”

He had to provide a good enough reason to Zhang Haoxuan, and in this case, telling the truth was the best policy.

Zhang Haoxuan said gravely, “But this way, there’s a significant risk of exposure. You should be clear about the consequences if you are exposed.”

“I won’t be exposed, Master. I’m confident. Even if I absorb their bloodline energy, I will control the quantity. It will be just a little, and they won’t really feel anything.”

Zhang Haoxuan advised, “Don’t be overzealous. Steady improvement is the most important. Actually, you’re not the only one who thinks about your cultivation. I’ve given it careful thought as well. If your cultivation method allows you to break through to the god level, it would be revolutionary for all humanity. I’ve already started looking for children to try cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique to see if it’s possible. If it is, it will have a tremendous impact.”

“You’ve already started trials?” Tang San asked in surprise. He distinctly remembered Zhang Haoxuan stating that the Mysterious Heaven Technique must remain confidential.
