Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Tang San wasn\'t idle either. He sat down cross-legged and silently felt the energy of the Heavenly Fox Transformation emanating from Du Bai\'s body, drawing it into his own body and silently enhancing the level and state of his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye. After all, letting these scattering energies go to waste would not impact Du Bai\'s breakthrough.

Time ticked by, and after two hours, Zhang Haoxuan left Du Bai\'s side, his condition having completely stabilized, making the breakthrough just a matter of time.

Two more hours passed, and Si Ru also let go of his guard. Du Bai\'s Sea of Spirit had completely turned into a white ocean, and his bloodline had thoroughly communicated with the spiritual power within the Sea of Spirit, bridging their respective worlds and allowing for mutual transformation and intermingling, beginning the process of evolution.

Si Ru came to Zhang Haoxuan\'s side and whispered, "Is this a successful breakthrough? The Fifth Stage Sky Fox Change, how remarkable."

Zhang Haoxuan smiled amiably, "Indeed, indeed. We have gained a new hope."

Si Ru said, "Once he breaks through, we have to report it, right?"

Zhang Haoxuan nodded and replied, "Naturally. But let\'s wait for now. You go and rest first, then come back to replace me later. We\'ll take turns guarding."

Si Ru glanced at Tang San, who was sitting not far away and seemed to have also entered a meditative state, motionless, "Aren\'t you going to ask him to leave?"

"Let him stay here," Zhang Haoxuan said without hesitation.

Si Ru\'s eyes twinkled, "Old Zhang, have you noticed? Ever since Tang San came here, our academy has undergone many changes, nearly all of which are related to him. Just take the previous instance – if it weren\'t for his reminder, I would have made a mistake in my protection duties for Du Bai. There\'s something off about this kid."

Zhang Haoxuan glanced at him, "Are you jealous that I have such a good disciple? Don\'t even think about it; I\'m not going to let you have him."

"Pfft... Who wants him? I\'m leaving," Si Ru said irritably before heading out the door.

Stepping outside, Si Ru breathed in the fresh air and a touch of doubt flickered in his eyes, then he silently shook his head. Perhaps all of this was orchestrated by the organization, and if Tang San had any secrets, Zhang Haoxuan was surely aware of them; he was just not telling them.

Unseen, Old Zhang took the blame once again.

Du Bai\'s cultivation process lasted a full three days and nights. Zhang Haoxuan and Si Ru took turns guarding him. Meanwhile, Tang San also practiced in the room the entire time, silently absorbing the bloodline aura that emanated from him.

On the morning of the fourth day, Du Bai, who sat cross-legged, was completely engulfed in white light, with the white glow wrapping around his body, forming a giant cocoon of light. Above his body, the second tail of the white fox had also completely grown out, swaying gently alongside the first.

"Hoo..." A long breath was exhaled, and the glow surrounding the cocoon suddenly converged inward. Tang San, who was meditating, opened his eyes almost instantly and looked towards the cocoon. He could feel that all of Du Bai\'s external energy and blood had suddenly been recalled inward.

The silhouette within the cocoon also became clear.

Du Bai had changed. There was a faint silver glow twinkling on his hair; his figure had noticeably become more slender, and his features were now even more delicate and handsome. The youth seemed to have transitionally matured into a young man.

His eyes became incredibly clear and translucent, flickering with a hint of silver light, lending him an air of otherworldly transcendence.

A trace of puzzlement flowed from his eyes, and subconsciously, his gaze shifted towards Tang San not far away.

The moment he saw Tang San, the first sensation he felt was one of closeness—stemming from the depths of his bloodline, a familiarity that seemed irreplaceable by any other existence in the world. It was as if Tang San was the most trustworthy relative he could ever have.

This connection had been forged during the bloodline evolution process. Generally speaking, members of the Heavenly Fox Clan who assisted in the breakthrough would become the most important person in the life of the one breaking through, with a bond created between their bloodlines over the course of the breakthrough, linked by luck.

Tang San could also sense the change; he too, felt a newfound closeness to Du Bai, as if he was entirely trustworthy.

The Demon God Transformation was truly miraculous! The more powerful the transformation, the more mystical its properties. All bloodlines capable of birthing a Great Demon Emperor were far from simple. This was only the Fifth Stage of the Sky Fox Change, and in terms of its mystery, Tang San even felt it surpassed the Peacock Transformation. Either that or Pretty Girl had not fully grasped the essence of the Peacock Transformation; there might still be core mysteries unknown to him.

"Did it work? Have I reached the Fifth Stage?" Du Bai pointed to his own nose, his face now overwhelmed with delight.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Tang San\'s mouth as he nodded slightly to him, "Congratulations, Brother Du Bai."

"You helped me, didn\'t you?" Du Bai almost instinctively felt it.

However, Tang San shook his head and said, "No, it was Teacher and Teacher Si Ru who were guarding you, allowing you to break through successfully."

"Is that so? But I don\'t know why, I just feel like it was you who did it. This breakthrough feels different, as if the entire world has changed."

Tang San smiled and said, "If things are different, then you should embrace the changes in the world."

Du Bai stood up, and so did Tang San. Du Bai\'s smile immediately grew more intense, "I\'ve broken through, ahahaha, I\'ve done it, reached the Fifth Stage, it\'s amazing. Everything has changed!"

Tang San said, "Don\'t be in a hurry to celebrate just yet. You should sense the changes that come with the Fifth Stage of the Heavenly Fox Transformation. Look for improvements and enhancements, get to know them well. I also feel that your breakthrough this time is extraordinary, different from the past promotions. Perhaps, a profound understanding might give you the key to breaking through to higher levels."

"Yes, yes, I understand. I\'m starving, all I want now is to eat something, I feel like I could eat a whole cow." Du Bai\'s capricious nature returned.

Zhang Haoxuan had been watching by the side, and at the mention of food he said, "Let\'s go eat first. And remember, be careful not to let slip about the breakthrough, keep it secret for now."

Tang San looked at the changes in Du Bai\'s body and chuckled wryly, "Teacher, keeping this secret won\'t be easy!" Not to mention Du Bai\'s whimsical personality, the conspicuous changes in his appearance would be hard to conceal.

Through Du Bai\'s transformation, Tang San suddenly realized that the intensity of the bloodline in the Demon God Transformation could, to a certain extent, alter one\'s physical appearance. The more powerful the bloodline, the greater the change seemed to be. This appeared correlated with the Monster Clan Powerhouses becoming more human-like.

Thinking of Pretty Girl, he suddenly had a strange feeling. When he first met her, his initial sense was that she had changed from her past life—in both appearance and temperament. Yet, the overall contour was somewhat similar. But recently, she was becoming more and more like her former self. Could it be related to her breakthrough to the Seventh Stage? And if she were to break through to the God Rank in the future, might she become exactly as she was in her past life?

With this thought in mind, his heart felt a scorching excitement. By the same token, if he were to recultivate to Godhood, he could perhaps return to his original appearance, right? Much like the change he experienced during the martial soul second awakening in his past life. Hmm, he had been quite handsome in his former life.
