Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 158: Chapter 157 Infiltration



The reason for this plan was related to his experiences over the past few days.

Every day he used the back door to enter and exit. It\'s true that the Redemption Academy had an Alarm Formation for defense, but as long as the doors were opened normally, the alarm would naturally not be triggered.

When he left through the back door, he had run into some Monster Clan Students and overheard their conversations.

One of the Monster students mentioned at the time, "Let\'s sneak out for a drink tonight! I\'ve already made arrangements with the gatekeeper."

This caught Tang San\'s attention, and in recent nights, he occasionally came out to observe. Sure enough, groups of students would sneak back in through the back door very late at night.

Redemption Academy had a closed management system; unless one had permission, students weren\'t allowed to leave on ordinary days. However, there is always a way around any policy! These Monster Clan Students, being young and restless, couldn\'t stand to be confined, and slipping out for fun was nothing out of the ordinary. The guards turned a blind eye to it, and since they could gain some extra perks from it, why not?

Tang San took advantage of this and infiltrated back inside the walls of Redemption Academy.

He pulled a black metal mask from his storage bag and wore it on his face, concealing the upper half of his face. Made from Black Gold, it served not only to hide his appearance but also to offer some protection.

After the two Monster students and the guard had left, Tang San acted again, swiftly moving deeper into Redemption Academy.

His position as a cleaner for the past week was not in vain; he was already quite familiar with the layout. He headed straight for the Cultivation Area.

He wasn\'t sneaking in at midnight with plans to rendezvous with Pretty Girl; he had another purpose in mind.

About five minutes later, Tang San had carefully approached a nearby building.

The building had a pointed roof and wasn\'t too large in terms of floor area, and not far from it was the Demon War Zone. In front of the building, there were two Monster guards.

Both Monster guards had strong physiques, over three meters tall with broad shoulders and narrow waists, their arms were remarkably long, and in their hands, they each held a metal long staff. The staffs, five meters in length and as thick as an adult\'s arm, were clearly very heavy.

These were Titan Ape Monsters, and within the Monsters, apes held a non-negligible status, qualifying for one of the top ten races.

Although Titan Ape Monsters weren\'t at the top, they were still a significant part of the Ape Demons\' combat strength. With Tang San\'s perception, both were at least at the Eighth Stage of cultivation base.

Within the entire Redemption Academy, this was the only place with guards, for it was the academy\'s "store."

Of course, it wasn\'t called a store here, but the academy shop.

Tang San had heard from Zhang Haoxuan that the products sold here were exclusively for Redemption Academy students. They were cheaper than those outside and had many good items that could not be compared to the small store in Redemption Academy.

Not only did the academy shop sell items, but it also bought back things including Demon Beast corpses and rare plants, a special privilege for the students.

Today, Tang San\'s target was precisely this place.

The presence of two Eighth Stage guards indicated how important this place was. Moreover, the store had its own independent Alarm Formation. If anyone tried to break in, the alarm would immediately go off.

Whether it was the guards or the alarm system, they weren\'t meant for outsiders. Instead, they were there to prevent the students from committing theft. Redemption Academy had experienced such incidents before.

Tang San had chosen this as his target not because he believed he could defeat the two Eighth Stage guards and avoid triggering the alarm.

Redemption Academy definitely has god-level strong beings, and not just one. Once discovered, escaping would be harder than ascending to the heavens.

Therefore, if one wanted to gain something, they could only achieve it through cunning strategies rather than brute force.

Tang San watched from a distance as two eighth-stage Titan Ape Monsters loitered in front of the door. He wasn\'t in a hurry, but waited patiently.

It was still the first half of the night, and their vigilance was still decent, not the best time for action. He was very patient, sitting down in a dark corner, resting while quietly waiting for the opportunity.

Time ticked by, second by second. About two hours later, the two Titan Ape Monsters came together.

"Is it about time?" one of the Titan Ape Monsters looked up at the sky.

The other Titan Ape Monster nodded, replying, "It should be. Let\'s check inside and in a bit more than an hour, it should be daylight."

"Let\'s go." The two eighth-stage monsters walked towards the academy store\'s main entrance. As they neared the main door, a faint yellow halo emanated from their bodies. The front of the store naturally radiated the same colored halo, and when the two halos touched each other, the Alarm Formation did not go off.

One of the Titan Ape Monsters opened the store\'s main door and walked inside, while the other turned around to face outside, standing guard at the door.

And Tang San\'s action was timed at the moment when one Titan Ape Monster turned around and the other entered.

What he was waiting for was also this momentary opportunity.

He made his move from the side, just before he acted, his arms first transformed into two wings of light, flapping them in the dark corner to propel his body through the dead angle in the Ape Monster\'s field of vision in front of the door. Simultaneously, he activated Time Variation Seal, causing the other\'s movements to lag for an instant.

With this fleeting opportunity, he had already slipped through the range of the yellow halo and entered.

The defense of the monitoring formation was just a layer in front of the door, and at that moment, the guarding Ape Monster\'s talisman coincided with it. Tang San took advantage of this, and as his body approached, he performed a Leopard Flash and passed right through.

The wings of the Golden Winged Roc accelerated his speed, and Leopard Flash flickered twice. He had exerted his full strength and captured all possible changes in the surroundings with the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye.

The instant Tang San entered the academy store, he executed the second Leopard Flash, and with the powerful observational capabilities of the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, he found a dark corner the moment he entered.

With a flash, he concealed himself in darkness, Tang San\'s presence completely disappeared, lying motionless in hiding.

The alarm did not sound. The eighth-stage Ape Demon outside noticed nothing, and the Ape Demon inside had already started the inspection.

It was a rule of the academy store that every four hours the guards would inspect the inside, day or night. So, what Tang San had been waiting for was precisely such an opportunity.

Unless they were of the Monster Clan specializing in Spiritual Power, most of the Monster Clan\'s Spiritual Power was not outstanding. Their stronger point lay in their inherent abilities. The loophole that Tang San exploited could not truly be called a loophole anymore, but with his bold yet meticulous preparations, he had successfully infiltrated his destination on this trip.

Who else could possess the abilities of Time Variation Seal, Golden Peng Transformation, and Flash Leopard Transformation all at once? In this world, no race owned invisibility abilities. Tang San perfectly applied the three Demon God Transformations within a short time, and finally succeeded in secretly entering his target location.

Now that he was inside, he was even less rushed. His gaze swept over the interior of the academy store, where there was a massive horizontal counter about thirty meters wide, with different sections marked with signs for weapons, medicines, supplements, plants, life necessities, and other categories.

Behind the counter were a series of large cabinets with items displayed, presumably those for sale.

Tang San understood that the most precious items were certainly not displayed in these cabinets. Even if they were, they would be under protection, and touching them might trigger the alarm.
