Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Early Morning.

By the time Tang San had finished breakfast, the sky outside was already dimly lit. He and Du Bai stood together on the hillside outside of Redemption Academy, gazing into the distant east, cultivating their Purple Demon Eyes together.

After a night\'s rest, Du Bai had mostly recovered his spirits. As the purple dawn approached, a hint of purple began to emerge from the depths of his eyes. This was a sign that he had entered the threshold of cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes. With the aid of the Heavenly Fox Eye, the effect of his cultivation of the Purple Demon Eyes was twice as effective, obviously much faster than the normal speed of cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes.

Only when the sun rose did the two of them stop their cultivation.

Turning his head to look at Tang San, Du Bai said, "It really is different. I can feel it, my Heavenly Fox Eye seems to have improved a little. Although it\'s not as obvious as the last breakthrough, it definitely has improved. You know, no matter how I cultivated before, Heavenly Fox Transformation kept accumulating slowly, and I never had this feeling. Xiao Tang, thank you."

Tang San smiled slightly, "It\'s good if it helps you. Keep practicing the Purple Demon Eyes, they will be an important lifeline for you in the future. Now I need to go to work at Jiali Academy."

After saying goodbye to Du Bai, Tang San descended the mountain by himself. He had already received his work permit yesterday, and after the inspection by the gatekeeper at the back door, he entered Jiali Academy once again.

Perhaps it was the guidance of Luck from last night, but today he distinctly felt that even the sunlight seemed much brighter.

Luck, oh Luck, please be on my side!

Upon arriving at the small house, Elder Mao seemed to have just finished breakfast. Seeing Tang San, there was actually a trace of a smile on his face.

"Xiao Tang, you did well yesterday. Keep up the good work. Last night, the academy\'s head teacher came to find me and praised your cleaning work."

"Thank you, Elder Mao, it\'s all thanks to your good teaching," Tang San said humbly.

Elder Mao patted his shoulder, "Hard work breeds talent, keep up the good work."

Hard work breeding talent from sweeping the floor? Tang San\'s mouth twitched, but he made sure Elder Mao didn\'t see it, while verbally he agreed.

After taking the tools, he went again to clean the main teaching building. This time, Elder Mao did not accompany him.

Being praised first thing in the morning, it seems his luck is not bad!

Since he had cleaned thoroughly yesterday, the sweeping today was naturally much easier. Tang San was supposed to work one day and rest the next, but as this was his trial week, he needed to come every day. This was mainly for Elder Mao to see if he was suitable for the job. If he could successfully pass, he would then be able to work as a formal employee, starting to work one day and rest the next starting from the next week, three days a week.

Pretty Girl, Pretty Girl, Pretty Girl. As Tang San swept the floor, he silently prayed in his heart.

But no, after the morning cleaning was done, he still hadn\'t seen Pretty Girl\'s figure.

It seems the Luck isn\'t that great either!

But this was not something to be forced, Tang San felt helpless.

However, he found that cultivating within Jiali Academy was indeed very good. The spirituality of heaven and earth here was the most concentrated he had ever experienced. Even if he absorbed it while sweeping, the nurturing effect on his body was very good. His Mysterious Heaven Method was very compatible with the spirituality of heaven and earth, especially with life force.

The Green Jade Vines, having combined with the energy of plant life for a day and a half, showed their Mark becoming much more active. Even the very low-level Green Jade Vines seemed to have a stirring sensation.

At noon, he returned to the small house for lunch and rest.

While Tang San was meditating and recuperating, a somewhat urgent shouting suddenly came from outside, "Elder Mao, Elder Mao."

"Here he comes." Elder Mao, who was napping on the table, hurriedly stood up, perhaps a bit dizzy from standing too quickly; his body swayed.

Tang San, having heard the shout, had already gotten up and quickly steadied him.

Elder Mao gave him a look and nodded his head, then walked out of the small house.

Outside the small house, a muscular man was waiting anxiously. Seeing Elder Mao emerge, he waved him over and said, "Hurry up; today the dean is inspecting every area in the Cultivation Area. Take your people and get the cleaning done immediately. You only have a little over an hour. Right now, immediately."

"Yes, yes, we\'re on it. Xiao Tang, grab the stuff, let\'s go. I\'ll gather the others right away."

Of course, the small house wasn\'t just occupied by Elder Mao and Tang San; each room housed two people for resting and storing cleaning supplies.

Elder Mao assembled more than a dozen people, who all promptly took various cleaning tools and headed towards the back of the academy to the Cultivation Area.

Being extremely familiar with Jiali Academy, Elder Mao quickly distributed tasks, assigning cleaning duties to different people.

"Xiao Tang, you\'re new here and not familiar with this place, so you\'ll come with me. We\'re going to clean the Demon War Zone."

Tang San had studied the internal map of Jiali Academy. The Demon War Zone should be the place where the academy\'s students practiced their combat skills. It covered a large area and was divided into two floors.

He followed Elder Mao and quickly arrived at the destination.

The Demon War Zone was a circular building, or more accurately, a ring-shaped structure, with both above-ground and underground levels.

No sooner had Tang San entered the Demon War Zone than he felt a very strong Energy Array. Even the walls had faint fluctuations of energy.

This place, used for the Monster Clan Students\' practical combat, obviously needed good defenses, otherwise it would have been demolished long ago.

"The Demon War Zone is large, and our people regularly clean here. So, the usual cleaning shouldn\'t be needed. We mainly need to address some overlooked sanitary dead spots, like along the door frames and the corners of windows. Carry a bucket of water, and I\'ll lead you. We need to move quickly, time is pressing. If we don\'t clean up well, we\'ll be in trouble," Elder Mao\'s speed of speech was clearly much faster than yesterday\'s, indicative of his urgency.

Tang San naturally had no objections. He filled a bucket of water and followed Elder Mao, cleaning wherever Elder Mao directed. His cleaning was fast, and thorough.

Elder Mao, watching Tang San\'s efficient movements, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed they would manage on time. He grew increasingly satisfied with this youngster, validating the mayor\'s recommendation.

This ring-shaped building, they first cleaned its circular range, which was effectively a ring-shaped corridor. The inner ring had doors, which when entered, led to the actual Demon War Zone.

As they cleaned, Elder Mao also explained the situation of the place to Tang San.

The upper level of the Demon War Zone had an open-air battlefield which was public, one being an open sky and the other a complete battlefield. It was a vast space of about fifteen thousand square meters, big enough to accommodate multiple people in combat.

The lower level consisted of separate smaller areas, mainly used for combat practice of a few people and for combat training. Each had its purpose.

In just over half an hour, with Tang San\'s adept cleaning, the outer ring had been cleaned.

The hygiene standards here were generally quite high, so there weren\'t too many dead spots to begin with.

"Let\'s go inside." Elder Mao led Tang San through a side door; there were no guards on this side. Pushing open the heavy doors to enter, they immediately felt the energy fluctuations inside.

The terrain, within Jiali Academy\'s largest Demon War Zone, showcased two groups of Monster Clan Students in combat.

When Tang San stepped through the doors and entered the Demon War Zone, he realized that his luck had arrived.
