Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

But the specifics of the mutation were very important. For humans, research on the Demon God Transformation was ongoing. Especially for someone like Tang San who was able to show such strength at a young age, it was extremely rare. How could they let such an opportunity slip by?

When Tang San used the "wind blade", there was no visible mutation in his body, no parts that transformed into the appearance of a Wind Wolf. This was somewhat similar to Wu Bingji\'s Ice Spirit Change—a pure elemental transformation. However, Tang San\'s bloodline fluctuation was similar to that of the Wind Wolf Tribe and not of a Wind Elemental Body. Therefore, purely in terms of element control strength, he was not as strong as Wu Bingji\'s Ice Spirit Change. What was strange, however, was that he could control the wind element so well. Despite the elemental strength not being enough, he compressed it to make the element\'s strength stronger, even surpassing Wu Bingji.

Si Ru, Guan Longjiang, and Mu Enqing actually noticed that Tang San had somewhat held back. Otherwise, whether Wu Bingji could have won at all would have been questionable.

This showed that Tang San, as a child, possessed a maturity and composure far beyond his age, which was quite extraordinary. Combined with the fact that the mayor was so eager to take him as a disciple on his first day, the teachers\' curiosity about Tang San had increased greatly.

Tang San nodded upon hearing this, without showing any sign of dissatisfaction.

Si Ru frowned slightly and said, "Tang San, tell us, how do you control the wind element?"

Tang San was startled for a moment and replied, "I can see them, and they listen to me, so I can control them. Then I keep playing with them, and they listen to me more and more. I try to make them undergo some changes, and when they change, they produce different effects and functions."

After arriving here, Tang San already knew that the teachers here were different from his previous teacher, Wang Yanfeng—they were worldly and powerful. Hence, his exquisite skill in elemental control was bound to raise suspicion and curiosity. The mayor had asked him not to disclose the Mystic Sky Records, so he had to explain it some other way. He had already prepared for this in his mind and was naturally not panicked.

"You can observe elements?" Si Ru\'s heart stirred, "Then tell me, what does the wind element look like?"

Tang San said, "They are specks of light, azure specks. They are very lively, always in motion, and they love freedom, disliking restraint. Once they feel constrained, they become agitated. But when they soar freely, they are especially happy and contented."

His understanding of the elements was so profound that he described their characteristics in just a few sentences.

Upon hearing his description, both Guan Longjiang and Mu Enqing turned their gaze towards Si Ru.

Si Ru nodded slightly, "What he said is accurate. I believe he can see the wind element; otherwise, he wouldn\'t have such a deep understanding. What a find we have here! This child has an extremely unique talent in wind element control. I can almost confirm that his Wind Wolf Transformation bloodline is definitely mutated, and the direction of the mutation is toward wind element control. He has a unique perception of wind elements, and his Spiritual Power is also enhanced because of this perception. He can control the wind element so well, partly because his affinity with the wind element is extremely high, and partly because his Spiritual Power is strong."

As he said this, his gaze burned into Tang San, and he said, "Tang San, the mayor is not particularly skilled in elemental abilities, which you should know. In our academy, I am actually the one most proficient in using elements. Therefore, I think it\'s inappropriate for the mayor to instruct you, especially since he\'s so busy. How about you switch to become my disciple, and I\'ll guide you in your elemental cultivation?"

Guan Longjiang coughed, "Old Si, that\'s not right of you. How can you compete with the mayor for a disciple? Actually, in terms of elements, I\'ve gained a deeper understanding over the years. I\'ve been the one directly guiding Wu Bingji. How about you join in, and I\'ll guide you both? I believe it won\'t be long before you reach the Sixth Stage."

Mu Enqing turned his head away. Being an honest man, he was somewhat embarrassed by these two earnestly competing for the disciple.

Tang San looked at these two, and by now he understood what the Mayor had hinted at earlier. Clearly, the Mayor had anticipated this situation.

"The teacher said, in the academy, you can only take one master. How about, you talk to him about it? I don\'t know what to do."

Passing the buck, huh? How could he make a choice at such a time? Not to mention that the Mayor knew his secret, even if he didn\'t, he couldn\'t risk offending the Mayor and switch to another master!

"This kid," Si Ru said angrily, "leading people astray! I\'ll go talk to him." As he spoke, a blue-purple light flashed on his body, and the next instant, he had vanished into thin air.

Lightning!

The moment Tang San felt the power Si Ru had just used, his surprise grew even more. Perhaps Si Ru was right, he might be the one with the strongest element cultivation ability in the academy. God Rank, and it was control over lightning. Lightning was known for its explosive power, and at the God Rank, its might must be considerable.

Guan Longjiang said somewhat helplessly, "Tang San, you go back first. We\'ll talk about this matter later, just focus on your cultivation. You have great potential, strive to improve your cultivation base soon. You can take on tasks directly now. Let Du Bai and Cheng Zicheng take you to see the task board later. The academy will also organize some beneficial tasks for you to participate in. You can check out the school\'s store. There will definitely be things suitable for you there, but you\'ll need to earn the money to buy them with your own skills. The academy will not show favoritism to anyone in this regard, fairness is the principle."

"Yes," Tang San agreed, and two key phrases became clear in his mind: take on tasks and the school store.

The practical combat today must also be a test for himself, only after passing the test, he would be granted these privileges.

I\'ll need to visit and get acquainted with everything here one step at a time.

While Tang San was looking for Du Bai and Cheng Zicheng, at Mayor Zhang\'s residence, Mayor Zhang stood in the center of the room, bowing respectfully to the main seat.

"Saint Mother," Mayor Zhang Haoxuan bowed deeply with respect.

"There\'s no need for formalities, Mayor Zhang," she said, as she slowly raised her right hand to reveal a blue pattern. Mayor Zhang glanced at it and smiled, nodding at her.

The woman was sitting in the main seat, dressed in a pale cyan gown, with a conical hat on her head and a veil falling down so her face couldn\'t be seen. Even the air around her body seemed somewhat ethereal.

"Is everything well with the Saint Mother recently?" Mayor Zhang Haoxuan asked with a smile.

"All is well. It\'s been calm lately, no important arrangements. How are the children at the academy?" the Saint Mother asked with a smile.

Mayor Zhang Haoxuan replied, "Everything is going smoothly, and everyone is teaching with great care. Oh, there\'s a new member who recently joined, someone we discovered from the Wind Wolf Tribe. His Wind Wolf Transformation seems to be a variant. He\'s only nine years old but has already reached the Fifth Stage. We have looked into his background thoroughly and found no issues, so we admitted him into the academy. He is now studying here."
