Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

He was not only able to absorb a portion of the vine-type plants to enhance the powers of his Bluesilver Emperor Mark, but he could also absorb a bit of energy from those nurturing heavenly materials and treasures to nourish himself.

Just five days\' time, and he felt as though he had undergone a complete transformation.

To the teachers and students of Redemption Academy, it seemed as though Tang San had grown recently, increasing in height and his physique also seemed to have become more robust. His features had become more distinct and pleasing to the eye.

Finally, the time for their second training expedition was about to begin.

Early in the morning, the five members of Tang San\'s team were all packed up and ready to head out.

After having breakfast, Guan Longjiang called the five over.

"I know you achieved great results from your last training and each of you has improved your strength. But what I must tell you is that your last success was very much due to luck, and luck will not always be with you." He caught himself mid-sentence, glancing at Du Bai and coughing once before continuing, "Therefore, remember, this training mission is not just to grow in strength, but more importantly, to learn how to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, how to protect yourselves, and how to survive in unfamiliar environments. Safety is always the most important thing; only if you are alive is there a future."

He paused, then turned his gaze to Wu Bingji, "Bingji, as the eldest senior brother, you must set an example for your junior brothers and sisters, leading everyone and putting safety first. Understand?"

"Yes, Teacher," Wu Bingji replied respectfully, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at Tang San beside him.

Leading everyone—is that really something I can do? It\'s probably just a nominal title.

Guan Longjiang followed his gaze directly to Tang San, "Xiao Tang, I know you have plenty of clever tricks. But you must remember, no matter how talented or smart you are, you cannot take risks recklessly, because it concerns the lives of your teammates. You nearly had a great loss last time, so reflect on the moments when you almost fell into the tiger\'s jaws."

"Yes, Teacher Guan," Tang San also quickly replied.

At this moment, he was actually judging the time in his heart. Today should also be the day the Pretty Girl and her team set off. Yes, there should be a slight difference in timing, but the direction of travel is the same. He needed to keep an eye out, maintain a certain distance, not get too close to avoid detection, but not too far away either. If there was danger, he needed to be able to get there in time to help her.

"Alright, let\'s set out," said Guan Longjiang, who naturally noticed Tang San\'s slightly distracted demeanor, feeling a bit helpless inside. But what more could he say?

Talking about luck, last time with only Du Bai at Third Stage, they managed to escape from the jaws of a Seventh-stage Peak Winged Tiger and even turned the tables to kill it. The overall gain was more than the other two groups combined. Especially the significant improvement in strength of Du Bai and Gu Li was a tremendous morale boost for the entire Redemption Academy.

Initially, the organization had plans to move them to a safer place, but the advancements in the Heavenly Fox Transformation and the Time Variation Seal delayed that. Perhaps this place was more conducive for their enhancement and cultivation.

Now with Du Bai at Fourth Stage, Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng at Fifth Stage, and both Tang San and Wu Bingji at Sixth Stage, there were not many teams like this within the Redemption Organization.

Wu Bingji was his official disciple, and Guan Longjiang could see how much progress his disciple had made.

Tang San\'s guidance on Wu Bingji\'s use of the ice element was something Guan Longjiang was well aware of, as Wu Bingji had nothing to hide from his teacher. When Guan Longjiang learned of the tricks of practicing, he couldn\'t help but marvel. He even felt a bit like Tang San was more like Wu Bingji\'s teacher than he was. And since Tang San\'s arrival, Wu Bingji\'s realm was still at the Sixth Stage, but his strength had improved so much it could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

The comprehension of the ice element and its application had brought him very close to the peak of the Sixth Stage. It was almost certain now that breaking through to the Seventh Stage was just a matter of time.

All these changes had started from the moment Tang San arrived. As a result, the organization had investigated Tang San\'s background several times, but the results were always the same.

What Guan Longjiang hadn\'t told Tang San was that his mentor Wang Yanfeng and those Wang\'s Three Brothers and Ling Muxue, who had studied together, were all to be recruited by the Redemption Organization. They were hopeful to see if there was another freak like Tang San among them.

"Let\'s set out!" Guan Longjiang\'s command also announced the start of Tang San\'s team\'s second training journey.

The other students watched as they were naturally aware of the results of Tang San\'s team\'s first training. When they went out for training themselves, everyone was determined to show their strength, believing that what Tang San and his team could achieve, they could accomplish too or at least wouldn\'t be far off.

But the ultimate reality was that they were worlds apart! They had tried very hard, but when facing Demon Beasts and life-and-death crises, they couldn\'t help but get into a fluster. If not for the timely rescue by the teachers, there would undoubtedly have been casualties. As for the final gains, that was an even more difficult tale to tell.

Now, as Tang San\'s team embarked on their second training, everyone wanted to see whether their success in the first training was due to good luck, or if the gap in ability was really too substantial.

There were those who proposed to join Tang San\'s squad, like Zhang Zebin, who was beaten up by Gu Li, and was one of the most eager to join. He couldn\'t understand how his former defeated rivals could beat him so effortlessly after a round of training.

However, the Academy still believed that they should verify Tang San and his team\'s abilities once more before considering the reallocation of the training groups.

Beyond Redemption Academy, they entered Jiali Mountain Range from the back mountains. The path was all too familiar to them.

Wu Bingji walked at the forefront, with Cheng Zicheng flying low. Gu Li and Du Bai walked in the middle, while Tang San brought up the rear. The team of five moved swiftly and soon vanished into the forest.

"Du Bai, what do you think about our luck this time?" Gu Li nudged Du Bai, who was walking ahead of him.

With a hehe and a smile, Du Bai said, "With me here, our luck\'s bound to be as bright as the sun! It can\'t get any better."

Gu Li curled his lip and said, "Mascot, I\'ve noticed you\'re getting a bit carried away lately!"

Du Bai\'s recent state of mind was indeed incomparable to before. Previously, he was called the mascot because he was actually the worst at everything, feeling a bit down about himself.

But lately, he had been sprightly, occasionally teasing his senior brothers and sisters, and being extremely lively.

"Confidence comes from strength, get it?" Du Bai said with a bit of pride.

The continuous improvement in his Spiritual Power was something he could feel, and as the volume of Liquid Spiritual Power increased, his progress in solidifying it accelerated. The successful cultivation of his Purple Demon Eyes made him keenly aware that breaking through to the Fifth Stage Sky Fox\'s Eye was not impossible, hence his high spirits. Moreover, he was now able to use the spiritual impact of the Purple Demon Eyes, no longer as powerless as before.

After about two hours of travel, they had made their way deep into the Jiali Mountain Range with ease, and Wu Bingji ordered a halt for rest. The group found a relatively high spot to stop and recuperate.
