Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

At the same time, Gu Li\'s opponent, Zhang Zebin, was also undergoing a transformation. His body grew taller, and a formidable presence burst forth from within. Diamond-shaped scales appeared on his skin, and a pair of sharp horns grew out of his head. His already tall stature rapidly bulked up, turning him into a hulking man over two meters tall with horns on his head and his body covered in scale armor. The aura he emitted was incredibly fierce.

Gu Li should be Fourth Stage, while Zhang Zebin\'s aura was probably that of the Fifth Stage cultivation. A real combat confrontation between Fourth Stage and Fifth Stage? What were the teachers thinking?

While Tang San pondered, the battle between the two had already begun.

Zhang Zebin let out a roar, took a step forward, and charged out, his body expanding slightly mid-air. His pitch-black scale armor suddenly flared with a crimson hue, and as he opened his mouth, a jet of red flame shot towards his opponent.

In the blink of an eye, the luminous glow on Gu Li intensified, and with a push off the ground, he surged forward to meet the flames.

The next instant, the light on Gu Li\'s body flickered sharply, and the flames spewed by Zhang Zebin bizarrely hung suspended in mid-air. Zhang Zebin himself, continuing his charge forward, crashed into his own stagnant flames.

What ability is this? Tang San\'s heart thundered, This... this seems like an ability akin to freezing time!

He had once been a First-Generation God King and knew deeply how powerful the ability to control time and space could be. Among all the types of powers, time and space were the most profound.

On the battlefield, Zhang Zebin, who had barreled into his own flames, visibly jolted, but his scale armor seemed to have quite a strong defensive power. At that moment, Gu Li had completed a turn, and with a hefty flick of his long tail, he violently struck at him.

Zhang Zebin stepped out and twisted his body, dodging while not attacking, but instead crossed his arms to guard his front, his entire body crouching down and curling up into a defensive posture.

And in the next moment, his body noticeably hung in suspension for an instant, before being struck directly by Gu Li\'s tail.

With a "bang," Zhang Zebin was sent flying five or six meters away by the strike. He rolled on the ground and bounced back up instantly, charging towards Gu Li again. Simultaneously, his right fist was engulfed in a thick flame aura.

Gu Li backed away, the halo of light circling him dimming slightly compared to before, relying on his tail\'s lash to intermittently control his opponent\'s movements as he collided with Zhang Zebin again and again.

Both of them had strong defenses, especially Gu Li\'s. Even when slammed by Zhang Zebin\'s fiery fists, he showed no significant injury. However, as the fight dragged on, Tang San noticed Gu Li gradually falling into a disadvantage as his marvelous controlling ability became increasingly difficult to apply, likely due to overexertion of his bloodline power.

But Gu Li\'s defense was formidable, and he fought tenaciously. Even when he could no longer effectively control Zhang Zebin, he still managed occasional counterattacks, striking Zhang Zebin with his tail like a heavy hammer.

Zhang Zebin\'s defensive power was no less impressive; he was very strong, and his fire-empowered Demon God Transformation was dominant. In terms of strength, speed, and explosiveness, he was quite formidable.

```

The two fought back and forth, and as time passed, Gu Li\'s energy consumption grew increasingly larger, with the flowing light on his body gradually fading, and even the Demon God Transformation struggling to sustain itself.

"Stop," Mu Enqing called an end to the match. Although Gu Li\'s abilities were very special, Zhang Zebin had a higher cultivation base, ultimately winning through attrition.

At this moment, Tang San\'s heart was full of shock. He now felt that the Golden Peng Transformation he had just absorbed was somewhat less attractive. Gu Li\'s ability to control time was too powerful! It wasn\'t spatial confinement, but rather, a more peculiar mastery over time than even the power of space. It could instantly cause time to come to a standstill. Such control had even better effects than direct restraints from space elements. With such a control, Zhang Zebin was helpless despite being one stage higher in cultivation base.

No matter what, he had to learn this time control ability! Gu Li\'s combat experience was not very good, and he also lacked combat skills. But the same ability, if applied to Tang San, would have a tremendous effect.

He was now considering which of his imprints to replace with this time ability, or should he not absorb the Golden Peng Transformation and directly assimilate the Time Variation instead?

However, the ability to fly was also very important; he was truly torn! He didn\'t dare to randomly merge different types of Demon God Transformation Imprints. If it had the opposite effect, it would be troublesome, causing his strength to regress instead of improving.

"Brother Du Bai, what were the Demon God Transformations used by these two seniors just now? They look so magical," Tang San asked in a low voice.

Du Bai said, "Zhang Zebin underwent the Red Crocodile Transformation. A sub-dragon species. The Red Crocodile clan is very rare. But among sub-dragons, they are already very powerful. He is the very comprehensive type. Strength, burst, speed, flame, he has it all. The teacher\'s assessment of him is that he\'s well-rounded. Senior Brother Gu Li\'s is really powerful, the Time Crocodile Demon God Transformation. Also known as Time Variation. Generally speaking, doesn\'t our Demon God Transformation always include the species of the original monster? His does not, because the time control ability is too powerful. It\'s said that if one can cultivate to God Rank, one can even reverse time on a large scale, bringing the dead to life. But like myself, his ability is also quite difficult to cultivate and hard to upgrade."

Time Crocodile, Red Crocodile!

Treasure boys, just you wait for me...

Tang San secretly swallowed his saliva. He felt that after coming here, his understanding of Demon God Transformation was changing. After arriving at Redemption Academy, he had truly opened his eyes and seen what the abilities of the strong Monsters were like.

Compared to them, the abilities he owned before weren\'t much at all. As for how to adjust and recombine them, that was probably something he would have to ponder for a long time in the future. A good combination would undoubtedly boost his strength even further.

The practice fights continued, with the previous battle being one of the longer ones, lasting five minutes due to a stalemate between the fighters. Tang San and Cheng Zicheng\'s match even ended in just over ten seconds.

Tang San watched the following series of practice fights very seriously. He realized that the abilities of the seniors were all very special; none of their Demon God Transformations were ordinary. Although in terms of actual combat experience and application, they seemed lacking from Tang San\'s viewpoint, their talents were incomparable to the human vassals he had seen before. Not many of the Monsters he had seen before had these types of bloodlines.

"Tang San, are you rested?" After the seventh practice fight ended, Mu Enqing called out to Tang San again.

"I\'m rested," Tang San replied respectfully.

Mu Enqing nodded and said, "You will take part in the last fight of today. Your opponent will be Wu Bingji. Among all the students, he is the only one with a Sixth Stage cultivation. Do your best and let\'s see where your limit lies."

Sixth Stage? Tang San couldn\'t help but be surprised. Naturally, he also knew who Wu Bingji was, although he was not yet familiar with everyone. But among all the previous sparring, only two students had not participated, one was Du Bai, and the other, a youth who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.
