Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Zhang Haoxuan\'s breathing became noticeably heavier, "Reason tells me I should report this matter to the organization and protect you as the most important person. Do you know how much everything you just did overturns this world? Especially its effect on our human world."

Tang San looked at him seriously and said, "Teacher, I have already passed on the specific methods of cultivation to you. It is not that I am precious, but the Mystic Sky Records are. No one knows how they came about. Therefore, it is even more necessary for me to try more, to see where its limits truly lie. Only by doing so can we better find the way it fits with our humanity, to give our race a chance to rise."

Zhang Haoxuan closed his eyes, murmuring, "But do you know what it means if your secret is discovered?"

Tang San smiled slightly, "I have already thought about this issue a long time ago. If one day, I am really discovered by accident, then I will just be an individual. Whether they kill me or I take my own life, I will never reveal a single word of the Mystic Sky Records. Only the two of us, mentor and disciple, know about this. Regardless, I will try my best to hide it and I will need your help in concealing this matter. Even if I die ten or a hundred years later, when our Redemption Academy is on a more solid foundation, and we slowly develop enough strong individuals, we cannot expose the Mystic Sky Records. Otherwise, that will be the most dangerous time for our humanity."

Zhang Haoxuan silently nodded his head, understanding this point was exactly why he hadn\'t reported the Mystic Sky Records. Once it\'s reported, it would be beyond his control. If the organization decided to let more ordinary people learn, it would be nearly impossible to avoid exposure, which would surely bring a disaster to humanity.

"You are very smart; you don\'t seem like a ten-year-old child, you are very mature. Tang San, do you know? I even thought that maybe you are the Savior sent from above to rescue humanity. I also considered that you might be a spy sent by the Monsters. I hope it\'s the former. The latter is unlikely, because even among the Monsters, an existence like you is absolutely top-notch, and the Monsters wouldn\'t need to take this risk with you. I will do everything possible to protect you, but you also have to promise me to take good care of yourself. You are so important to all of humanity," Zhang Haoxuan said earnestly.

"Rest assured, I value my life." After all, I\'ve already died twice... Tang San silently retorted in his heart.

"Fine, I will cooperate with whatever you plan to do. You can observe, but make sure not to take action rashly."

Mentor secured!

Tang San didn\'t know how Zhang Haoxuan explained it to the other teachers, but soon he received a notification from Wu Bingji. He could now go to work at the Jiali Academy.

He was to work three days a week, doing the simple task of sweeping the yard—really just sweeping the yard—as a cleaner at the Jiali Academy. The remaining four days, he would naturally return to the Redemption Academy to study and cultivate. If there were any excursions for practical training during this period, someone else would take over the sweeping.

Without a doubt, this arrangement from Zhang Haoxuan was also considered comprehensive.

There were no out-of-school training arrangements for the time being. All students from the Redemption Academy were divided into three groups for external training. For now, it was a time to settle and summarize, as well as to receive specialized coaching for individual issues. Tang San very much approved of this method. Settling after training, then continuing to train, in a repeated cycle, was the best strategy.

Although Tang San had grown a lot taller, at ten years old he was still only about 1.5 meters tall. In front of the towering figures of the Monsters, he was just a little speck.

The academy town\'s uniform was also their work attire at the Jiali Academy.

After arranging everything, on the morning of the third day since Tang San made his request, following Zhang Haoxuan, he finally entered the prestigious Jiali City First Academy.

As staff, they naturally could not use the main entrance. The Jiali Academy had a small backyard gate on the side facing the academy town, through which all the staff entered for work.

Walking through the small gate, Tang San felt as if the atmosphere here became a bit more solemn and dignified. Moreover, the spirituality of heaven and earth was even richer here than outside.

"Xiao Tang, remember that Jiali Academy holds an extremely exalted status within the entire Jiali City. Not only do the top noble offspring from within Jiali City study here, but many offspring from other large families come here for further education. There are many powerful individuals here, quite a few at or above the divine-ranked level. So when you work, you must be very careful and cautious, understand?" Zhang Haoxuan cautioned in a low voice.

Tang San, of course, knew what he was advising him about and nodded repeatedly.

Jiali Academy is very large and is divided into three major areas. The first area is the educational area, which includes the main teaching building and a total of six teaching buildings of various sizes, each conducting different types of teaching.

The second area is the residential area, where students of Jiali Academy are required to live on campus. Leaving the campus requires a leave of absence. Each month, there is a three-day vacation.

Now, looking back, Tang San realized he had always been incredibly lucky when he ran into Pretty Girl! It was just after her vacation, when she returned to help out at the milk tea shop.

The third area is known as the Cultivation Area, which is divided into several different training fields suitable for students with various needs for cultivation. The academy\'s high-end shops are also located in this area. Their functions are probably similar to those of the small shops at Redemption Academy. But without a doubt, there are many more desirable items here.

The division into three major areas is clear and straightforward. The area where Tang San was to work involved the cleaning duties of a large open space of about 10,000 square meters in front of the main teaching building in the educational area. He had to sweep it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and then wash it once a week.

Sweeping was relatively easy, but washing could be quite exhausting.

Zhang Haoxuan led Tang San to a row of low houses behind a grove within Jiali Academy. Shielded by the trees in front, they were completely invisible from there.

Zhang Haoxuan walked up to one of the houses and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and an elder stooped at the waist came out.

"Uncle Mao," Zhang Haoxuan greeted with a polite smile.

"Ah, the town chief is here, come inside and take a seat," the elder known as Uncle Mao said with a cheerful smile.

Zhang Haoxuan shook his head and said, "I won\'t sit down. This is the kid I told you about, please arrange a job for him, and I\'ll be going back. His name is Tang San, but you can just call him Xiao Tang. Xiao Tang, come and meet Uncle Mao."

"Elder Mao, hello," Tang San stepped forward, bowing respectfully.

"No need to call me any kind of grandpa, just call me Elder Mao. We can\'t have familial titles here. Understand?" Uncle Mao examined Tang San from head to toe.

Seeing the indifference in his eyes, Tang San quickly nodded, "I understand, Elder Mao."

Elder Mao said to Zhang Haoxuan, "You go ahead with your business then, I\'ll take care of the boy. As long as he behaves, he\'ll be fine."

Zhang Haoxuan nodded, "Then I\'ll leave it to you. Xiao Tang, Elder Mao has worked in Jiali Academy for many years, he knows this place very well, you should follow Elder Mao\'s instructions, and go to the town after your work is done every day."

"Yes, thank you, town chief."

After Zhang Haoxuan left, Elder Mao said somewhat coldly, "Come inside with me."
