Chapter 72: Chapter 71 Check the Gains
When Tang San left the dining hall, the sky outside had already turned completely dark. The yard was eerily quiet, while many lights were shining inside the surrounding houses, creating a tranquil yet vibrant atmosphere.
Letting out a breath, Tang San then walked back to his East No. 3 residence.
The moment he entered, he sensed something was off.
Zhang Haoxuan was sitting in the living room, looking at him.
"Teacher," Tang San hurriedly came forward to greet him.
Zhang Haoxuan smiled slightly and said, "Let\'s talk while sitting."
Tang San sat down on the chair opposite him.
Zhang Haoxuan asked, "Are you getting acclimated?"
Tang San nodded and replied, "I\'m just beginning to adapt. It\'s quite nice here."
Zhang Haoxuan said, "Do you know how long it took for us to make this place what it is now?"
Tang San was startled for a moment and shook his head.
Zhang Haoxuan said, "Over three hundred years."
"Over three hundred years?" Tang San couldn\'t help but raise his voice a few notches.
Zhang Haoxuan let out a soft sigh and said, "The accumulation of the number of vassals, the recognition of our abilities by the Monsters, to gradually relying on us. Then onto the establishment and the development of the college town. Every step we took. And then the establishment of the Redemption Academy. It took us over three hundred years in total. To be precise, the birth of the Redemption Organization was also over three hundred years ago. This place can be considered one of the few pure lands for humans. If the entire continent could have places like this, our clansmen would no longer suffer, and that would be such a wonderful thing."
"Mhm," Tang San nodded silently.
Zhang Haoxuan continued, "Starting tomorrow, you will officially begin your studies at the academy. I came to find you specially to remind you. Here, the first thing you need to gain is the recognition of teachers and classmates. This recognition isn\'t about how smoothly you handle social interactions, but about strength. In our Redemption Academy, strength is the foundation of everything. I see that you have a calm temperament, so I\'m not worried about that aspect. But strength is the foundation for you to stand on. When necessary, you may reveal your Fifth Stage cultivation, but make sure to keep the Mystic Sky Records a secret."
"Yes," Tang San replied.
Zhang Haoxuan stood up and said, "You\'ve been through a long journey, and tomorrow you\'ll start learning, so you should also rest early today." While speaking, he walked towards the door, with Tang San getting up to see him out.
As Zhang Haoxuan reached the door, he suddenly paused, turned back to look at Tang San, patted his head, and said, "There\'s another rule in our Redemption Academy; one can only acknowledge a single true master. Understand?"
After speaking, he patted Tang San\'s shoulder, a flash of light appeared, and his tall figure vanished into thin air.
Only acknowledge one master? What is he reminding me of?
Moments of perplexity appeared in Tang San\'s mind.
He locked his room door and returned to his quarters. After a simple wash, Tang San went to bed.
He did not immediately start meditation for cultivation, Instead, he took out a small bag from his embrace. This bag was made of a type of leather he couldn\'t identify, entirely in tan, palm-sized and inconspicuous.
After he had killed the Wind Wolf Town Lord Feng Xiong that day, he had acquired this bag, and then he had joined Zhang Tianxiao and headed for Jiali City. Being on the road and always with Zhang Tianxiao, he had no time to check it. It was only now, having settled down, that he took out this bag to see his gains.
At the time he killed Feng Xiong, this small bag was Feng Xiong\'s sole belonging. Given that Feng Xiong had been desperately fleeing, the value of the only item he carried must be high. No matter how small Wind Wolf Town might be, he was still a lord of the town, and for who knows how many years. More importantly, when Tang San had devoured his bloodline power, he had already discovered it was different from ordinary Wind Wolves. The power of his bloodline was too rich. It could be said that devouring him alone provided more energy than all the energy provided by all the Monsters he had devoured before combined. How could Tang San not be surprised?
Previously, there had been no time to consider it carefully, but now, thinking back, the origins of this Wind Wolf Town leader were probably extraordinary. Naturally, the probability of having something valuable amongst his personal possessions also increased significantly.
The small yellow bag was light as a feather to the touch, yet had a sandpaper-like texture. When Tang San operated his Spirit Rhinoceros Eyesight, his heart immediately felt a jolt.
When he used his Spirit Rhinoceros Eyesight to carefully examine the small bag, he instantly discovered that, within this small bag, there was a faint trace of spatial attribute waves.
He knew all too well what spatial fluctuations meant. Could it be that this was a Space Treasure capable of storing items, a "Mustard Seed" space? If that was the case, he had stumbled upon a priceless treasure!
Even in his previous life, items with a spatial attribute were extremely precious. Of course, that became less important later on after he achieved God Rank since he could create spaces on his own. But on the Demon Monster Land, it was the first time he had encountered such an item. Moreover, if this small bag was indeed a Space Treasure, it meant it could hold more items inside, irrelevant to its actual size.
Thinking this, Tang San tried to open the small bag, while secretly probing into it with his Spiritual Power.
Upon contact with his Spiritual Power, the originally tan bag suddenly radiated a faint blue color. Tang San could vaguely sense a resisting force inside, blocking his exploration of the bag\'s contents. This barrier was not very strong but extremely flexible, easily keeping his Spiritual Power out.
With a slight movement in his heart, Tang San did not stop his investigation but stimulated his Wind Wolf Imprint, and a faint blue light also appeared on his body.
Sure enough, after he stimulated the Wind Wolf Imprint, the barrier resisted for a moment but then quietly dissipated.
The most intense part of Tang San\'s Wind Wolf Imprint at that moment was the bloodline power from Feng Xiong. After all, Feng Xiong\'s bloodline power was much more intense than all the Wind Wolves he had devoured before. This also proved that this seemingly unremarkable small bag was actually an item that had recognized an owner. Being able to recognize an owner meant it possessed a certain level of spirituality.
Tang San continued to probe inward with his Spiritual Power, and the next moment, his face was filled with joy.
Inside the bag, there was a space of bluish haze. Moreover, the inner space was quite sizable, at least ten feet in diameter. This was quite impressive among Space Treasures.
For such Space Treasures used for storage, the primary concern was the stability of the space. Thus, the larger and more stable the volume of space, the harder it was to maintain. The outer leather of this bag must have been made from the hide of a space-type monster, and Tang San was unclear on the exact processes involved. But the space inside was a good ten feet in diameter and so stable, the item itself was a rarity.
The contents within the bag were actually quite simple, nothing more than currency.
What attracted Tang San the most were the blue coins in the bag that stood out the most, radiating a bluish-green glow and intense wind elemental waves.
Although it was the first time Tang San had encountered this type of currency, the intense wind elemental waves allowed him to deduce that these were indeed the third-ranked Elemental Coins within the entire Monster currency system, specifically the Wind Element Coins compatible with the Wind Wolf Line.
Within this small bag, there were several hundred Wind Element Coins. This was indeed an extraordinary fortune! Besides these, there were also a large number of Wind Spirit Stones. And these Spirit Stones were extremely clear and translucent, obviously differing from the Wind Spirit Stones he had seen before. The value of such pure Wind Spirit Stones was uncertain to Tang San, but they were undoubtedly priceless.
