Chapter 106: Chapter 105 Arranged
Two Fourth Stage, and one utterly devoid of combat capability at Third Stage.
What\'s going on? What are Tang San and Wu Bingji up to? Do they know if something happens to Brother Du Bai and Senior Brother Gu Li, headquarters could dismantle them all?
In terms of talent, Brother Du Bai and Senior Brother Gu Li are at the very top within the entire Redemption Organization, and they carry the greatest expectations. So why send them to Jiali City? It\'s because Jiali is far from the emperor\'s reach where problems are less likely to arise, right!
Yet, they\'ve gone off to hunt powerful Demon Beasts above their Stage? What if they die? Who would be responsible? Not even Zhang Haoxuan could bear such responsibility!
Guan Longjiang was frantic back at the academy.
When Zhang Haoxuan, who was covertly following them, saw that the five who had quietly set out towards the mountain were these five kids, he was stunned too.
He certainly knew that Tang San was the leader of this mission, and his little disciple was really too daring. Taking Cheng Zicheng and Gu Li was one thing, after all, they were both Fourth Stage and had their unique abilities, with Gu Li\'s Time Variation Seal being particularly strong in control aspects. But why bring along a mascot? Du Bai has neither the physical endurance nor combat power. Once the fighting starts, could you really take care of him?
Not to mention Zhang Haoxuan. After the team set out, both Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng were surprised to see that Tang San had brought along Du Bai.
But they didn\'t say anything, because they didn\'t know what the goal of the trip was. In their view, since even Du Bai was brought along, the Demon Beast they were hunting probably wasn\'t too strong.
Wu Bingji was leading at the front, his scalp tensing up. He could vaguely guess what Teacher Guan\'s reaction might be upon learning of the manpower for their mission.
Oh Tang, oh Tang, if it weren\'t for that technique to control ice cones you promised me, I would never have joined in such reckless behavior!
The only reassurance in Wu Bingji\'s heart was the covert protection of Zhang Haoxuan. The Mayor was a Ninth Stage powerhouse; with the Mayor secretly protecting them, this operation should be safe, safe, safe, right?
The group advanced quickly, this wasn\'t a physical training lesson, and everyone could use their Demon God Transformation without the added weights.
They were all quite familiar with the initial part of the mountain range, with Wu Bingji leading smoothly at the front.
Soon, they had passed the area covered by the umbrella canopy and delved deeper into the Jiali Mountains.
"What\'s our target this time?" Du Bai asked, somewhat out of breath. His physical endurance was still his Achilles\' heel.
Tang San smiled and said, "Let\'s keep a sense of mystery. You\'ll naturally find out when we get there. Let\'s also discuss tactics for when we encounter a Demon Beast while we walk."
Wu Bingji at the front turned around and asked, "What\'s your plan?"
Despite his young age, Tang San had been validated by his companions for his control over his abilities through his two real combat experiences with Wu Bingji and his victory over Gu Li.
Tang San said, "If we encounter a Demon Beast, Big Brother, you will definitely be the main force. You need to withstand the Demon Beast\'s attacks head-on. While blocking the Demon Beast, you also need to use the cold of the ice element to slow and disrupt the Demon Beast, thereby weakening its combat power."
"Senior Brother Gu Li, your task is the most vital. While our eldest brother holds back the Demon Beast, you must seize the opportunity to use Time Variation Seal to freeze the Demon Beast\'s movements, creating an opportunity for us. As long as your Time Variation Seal is well controlled, even if we encounter a Demon Beast stronger than us, we should be able to manage."
"Sister Chengzi, you are responsible for scouting, especially to detect whether a large number of Demon Beasts are approaching us. We can relatively handle a single Demon Beast, but if we encounter a group of them, it will be more troublesome. So your scouting is also very important. And once the fighting starts, you will also be responsible for harassing the Demon Beast that our eldest brother is blocking, providing cover for him."
The phrase "providing cover for our eldest brother" made Cheng Zicheng smile broadly, deeply feeling his own importance.
"What about me? What\'s my role?" Du Bai eagerly asked Tang San.
Tang San said, "Brother Du Bai\'s role is also very important. Your Heavenly Fox Eye has the ability to observe Luck, and when we choose directions, we\'ll need you to determine the most suitable path for us. During the fight, we\'ll also need you to use the Heavenly Fox Eye to guide Luck, to have fortune on our side. When the time comes, I\'ll choose as safe a place as I can for you, and you just have to manipulate Luck from the shadows."
The greatest ability of the Heavenly Fox Eye is Luck—controlling Luck, guiding fortune. Tang San had never seen such a special attribute in his previous life.
Luck is a very ethereal existence, like the often mentioned fate governed by mysterious forces; that\'s all Luck. And the Heavenly Fox Eye can observe Luck, guide fortune. It might not sound impressive, but in reality, its impact, especially when the ability reaches a certain level, is incredibly profound. Otherwise, the Heavenly Fox Transformation wouldn\'t be considered a top-tier bloodline.
The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox is even ranked within the top three of the entire Monster and Fairy Clans combined.
This is also why Du Bai is regarded so highly, but at lower stages, the Heavenly Fox Eye\'s guidance of Luck, the observation of Luck is relatively limited, and its effect is smaller, with inadequate combat power.
But having it is better than not. After many years of Cultivation and amassing so many resources, how could Du Bai not possess Third Stage capabilities of the Heavenly Fox Eye? It is still somewhat useful.
The other students never felt Du Bai was of any use, and he was an unequivocal combat weakling in daily life. But Tang San\'s perception was different from theirs.
Ever since Tang San arrived at Redemption Academy, Du Bai had almost subconsciously always been with him. Apart from returning to his room for night-time Cultivation, Du Bai would often voluntarily seek him out. This alone already indicated certain issues.
This Child of Luck gravitating towards him clearly wasn\'t because he could sense his divine consciousness; even Si Ru couldn\'t detect it. Therefore, it was undoubtedly because Du Bai could vaguely sense the Power of Luck and was drawn to it, hoping to leverage Tang San\'s Luck.
Just as Du Bai had mentioned to him more than once before, hoping to become his guardian. As a being possessing Luck, he himself had never spoken about it with others, but within just a few days of knowing him, he had expressed this wish to Tang San. This implies that, subconsciously, Du Bai could sense his potential, which is also a part of the effect of the Heavenly Fox Eye. Even Du Bai himself might not be fully aware, just subconsciously feeling close to him.
Then, from Tang San\'s perspective, looking at it the other way around. Since Du Bai can sense Luck, following Luck\'s lead and guiding the changes of fortune. Having him with him is truly like carrying a charm that attracts good fortune and repels misfortune.
Du Bai\'s willingness to come out with him, clearly not just out of trust—after all, they had only known each other for two days, where would such deep trust come from? Besides the joy of being recognized, it was because he could feel that being with Tang San would bring him under the care of Luck.
Therefore, the teachers might not have noticed that Du Bai\'s Heavenly Fox Eye was already gradually influencing the trajectory of his life. But Tang San keenly discovered this. That was one of the reasons why he brought Du Bai out with him.
The few people he called out this time are those he hoped to help enhance their Cultivation bases. Du Bai\'s Heavenly Fox Eye was something Tang San intended to tackle sooner or later, with Wu Bingji\'s Ice spirit change as an alternative. He already possessed Cheng Zicheng\'s Golden Peng Transformation and Gu Li\'s Time Variation Seal.
By nurturing them, it\'s equivalent to cultivating his own abilities, and why not be happy about it?
With his strength and stability gradually increasing, Tang San was slowly regaining that sense of control from his previous life.
