Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Zhang Haoxuan nodded as well, "Then you should go, but be careful. It\'s good that you\'ve woken up, I\'m going to rest. You should adjust your own schedule."

Ever since he started working at Jiali Academy, Tang San had rarely attended classes at Redemption Academy. Zhang Haoxuan had covered for him in this regard; in truth, Tang San didn\'t really need the teachings here.

"Teacher, distribute the Purple Sun Fruits to everyone," Tang San suggested.

"Hmm? Weren\'t those bought for yourself?" exclaimed Zhang Haoxuan in surprise.

Shaking his head, Tang San said, "I only need to keep three for myself. The rest should be given to Brother Du Bai, Senior Brother Gu Li, Sister Chengzi, and the eldest brother. Consuming too many of these heavenly treasures will result in diminishing returns. Besides, they need them more than I do, especially Brother Du Bai. His Spiritual Power has been progressing well recently, and if he can achieve another breakthrough, it might be possible to break through the bottleneck of his bloodline and make further progress."

Zhang Haoxuan\'s eyes lit up, "You mean, his Heavenly Fox Eye can break through again? So soon?"

It had only been a few months since the last breakthrough!

Tang San nodded and continued, "It\'s possible, and he is the one who needs to enhance his Spiritual Power the most. Thus, I suggest giving him five Purple Sun Fruits. The remaining four can be divided with two for Senior Brother Gu Li and one each for the eldest brother and Sister Chengzi. That should be enough."

Wu Bingji and Cheng Zicheng didn\'t need as much of an improvement to their Spiritual Power as Gu Li and Du Bai did.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Haoxuan replied, "Alright, we\'ll do as you say."

With a smile, Tang San said, "Teacher, I would actually be fine with just two fruits. One would have been sufficient, but after this refinement of my Spiritual Power, I really need some replenishment. So I\'ll use two and you should take the remaining one. Your aspiration to break through to the God Rank in the future makes the strength of your Spiritual Power very important."

"Mhm," Zhang Haoxuan didn\'t stand on ceremony with his disciple and nodded. He took the ten Purple Sun Fruits Tang San handed over, a trace of a smile crossing his face as he left the room.

Among the items auctioned this time, the Purple Sun Fruits had appeared to be the most expensive. Tang San distributed most of them to his companions, an act even he hadn\'t anticipated, but it had indeed increased his teacher\'s approval of him. Zhang Haoxuan had come to a realization – since Tang San was able to grow so quickly, it was better to let him develop freely without imposing too many restrictions. Allowing him to enhance himself might indeed be the best option.

After Zhang Haoxuan left, Tang San looked at the Earth Shattering Hammer in his hand and his eyes filled with a touch of joy. With this war hammer, he finally had the chance to stretch his abilities fully.

It had been seven days since he last went to Jiali Academy. I wonder if Pretty Girl has looked for me, he silently pondered.

He stepped out of his room to observe the evening sky. After dinner, he returned to his room to engage in silent meditation. His Spiritual Power had recently undergone compression and nurturing, and he needed to stabilize it before considering the Purple Sun Fruits. This refinement had brought the most significant increase to his Spiritual Power, and the nurturing effect of the Heavenly Fire Fine Iron had caused noticeable changes in his physique. He seemed to have grown taller, his muscles and meridians had become stronger and more flexible, and there were positive changes in his bones and skin. If one were only to judge by appearances, he now seemed to be about the same age as Pretty Girl.

The next morning, Tang San returned to Jiali Academy, first paying his respects to Elder Mao, then swiftly taking up his broom and immersing himself in his duties.

How comfortable it is at Jiali Academy! He silently basked in the nourishment provided by the dense spirituality of heaven and earth, and his Mysterious Heaven Method grew stronger bit by bit.

The Sixth-stage Peak became increasingly solid. If he hadn\'t been intentionally suppressing it, he could have broken through already. Now, all he hoped was for Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng to advance to the Sixth Stage soon so that he could continue breaking through. The only regret was that it seemed impossible for Du Bai to reach the Sixth Stage; whether he could make it to the Fifth Stage would depend on the effects of the Purple Sun Fruit.

As the sun climbed to its zenith and the temperature rose, Tang San was about to go for lunch when suddenly, a feeling struck him, and he turned his head in a certain direction.

Standing there in the Jiali Academy uniform, looking somewhat slender, Pretty Girl was watching him from a distance.

Tang San paused, surprised by her sudden appearance. A sense of profound happiness filled his heart, and he instinctively quickened his pace towards her.

Pretty Girl, observing the boy approaching her, her eyes flashed with a hint of dissatisfaction.

```

"Where have you been these past few days? Why haven\'t you shown up for work?" she asked, her irritation barely concealed.

"Ah? I entered deep meditation, and several days just flew by. So, I only came back today. You must have been anxious, right? I\'m sorry!" Tang San hurriedly explained.

Pretty Girl snorted coldly, "Who was waiting for you? How come you don\'t even call me \'Pretty Sister\' anymore?"

"Pretty Sister." Tang San, eager to please, quickly called out.

Pretty Girl\'s expression softened somewhat, "How was the deep meditation?"

Tang San replied, "I made a slight improvement."

Pretty Girl looked him over. In just seven days, he seemed to have grown a little taller, and perhaps it was just her getting used to his presence, but he seemed a little more pleasing to the eye. She herself didn\'t understand why, always so composed, she had just felt a surge of annoyance. Seven days without seeing him, she felt an inexplicable restlessness.

"Do you have plans tonight?" Pretty Girl asked.

"No, no plans," Tang San said joyfully. What could be more important than something involving Pretty Girl?

Pretty Girl said, "You\'re to come out with me later. I have something I need to tell you."

"Alright." Tang San nodded in agreement.

Pretty Girl gave him a look before turning around and walking away.

Even her look is beautiful! Tang San thought to himself. She didn\'t say where to find her tonight, though.

Unsure of where to meet her and having finished his work for the afternoon, Tang San could only wait in the square. He didn\'t have to wait long; before evening fell, Pretty Girl came over in a pale blue long dress.

Garbed in a long dress, her charm and grace seemed to increase. The nearly fourteen-year-old girl stood tall and elegant. The normally cold temperament matched with the simply adorned pale blue dress added to her character\'s grace. Her long hair neatly fell behind her, with curved bangs covering her smooth forehead, and her petite face was so delicately beautiful, it was as though she had stepped out of a painting, causing Tang San to stare in awe.

"What are you staring at? Let\'s go."

"Yes, Pretty Sister." Tang San quickly followed by her side.

Pretty Girl walked ahead, with Tang San silently trailing beside her, staying half a step behind.

From this angle, he could see her figure more clearly. She was indeed a bit thin, her neck and back were exceptionally straight, giving off a distinguished air. Truly beautiful.

"What are you looking at?" Pretty Girl could feel his intense gaze and suddenly stopped.

Tang San almost bumped into her side and quickly halted. With Pretty Girl turning around, they were now only inches apart. Tang San could clearly smell her faint, delicate fragrance.

Pretty Girl instinctively stepped back, pushing him slightly to maintain the distance between them.

"Your waist is too thin. You should eat more," Tang San said earnestly.

Pretty Girl was momentarily stunned, then her cheeks flushed with shame. She slapped his shoulder, sending him stumbling, "Get lost."

"Ouch." Tang San cried out in pain, stumbling to the side, only then realizing his words had been brash. But those had been his true thoughts, uttered without thinking.
