Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Du Bai said with a look of admiration, "So strong, truly strong. I can\'t imagine the power of the Demon God Transformation. That\'s the state I aspire to achieve!"

Tang San glanced at him and said, "Don\'t think about it too much. You should at least reach the Seventh Stage before you talk about that."

Du Bai said excitedly, "You don\'t know how powerful I am now. After trying many times, I\'ve found that I can now influence a small area\'s fortune. My own luck has been enhanced as well, and what\'s more important, I can not only bestow good luck but also bring stronger bad luck to others, heh heh. If this is used to tease people, it\'s simply a magical skill!"

Listening to him, Tang San felt the urge to cover his face. If the Heavenly Fox King found out you\'re using the Sky Fox\'s Eye to tease people, who knows if you\'ll be slapped to death. No, it would definitely happen.

As for the effects of the Fifth-stage Sky Fox\'s Eye, he naturally knew better than Du Bai did, since he had tried it out even earlier. And he had already used it to kill the Flash Leopard King.

After everyone finished cultivating their Purple Demon Eyes and went for breakfast, they received a notice from the teachers that all Academy students should gather for a meeting shortly.

After breakfast, when Tang San and the others arrived in the outside courtyard, including the mayor and in actuality the headmaster of Redemption Academy, Zhang Haoxuan, Si Ru, Guan Longjiang, Mu Enqing, and Mu Yunyu were all already there in the courtyard.

The five instructors stood in a row, with each person\'s expression looking very serious.

Zhang Haoxuan\'s gaze swept over all the students\' faces, finally pausing on Tang San\'s face.

Looking at Tang San\'s slightly pale gaze, he couldn\'t help but frown, but he quickly returned to normal.

Soon, all the students had arrived.

Zhang Haoxuan said solemnly, "Everyone must have seen the battle that took place over Jiali City yesterday. According to our judgement, that was a confrontation between a newly emerged Demon Emperor from the Ancestral Court and the Peacock Demon Clan. Both sides suffered injuries in the end, and it\'s very likely that the Peacock Demon King was even more severely wounded. This has resulted in an unstable political situation in Jiali City. During this period, no one is allowed to enter Jiali City to avoid being affected. This ban is set for three months. Everyone should stay in the Academy and cultivate properly; all practical training missions outside are also temporarily canceled. We will clarify the situation as soon as possible."

At this point, he paused and then continued in a deep voice, "Redemption was established for the rise of humans, and you all have seen the battle yesterday. That was a fight at the peak of this world. The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was only a new Great Demon Emperor, one of the weakest among the Great Demon Emperors. Yet, at such a level, for us, it seems so unattainable. Each of us is still in a long and challenging process. Everyone must put in even more effort, so that one day we can have the opportunity to contend with them and fight for a chance of survival for humanity. Think about your past, think about our compatriots, and now look at such a powerful enemy, what reason do we have not to make an effort?"

The students all remained silent, having clearly seen the battle of the previous day. Aside from the intense shock, there was a profound palpitation. The scene of destruction that could wipe out the heavens and earth was caused by just two powerful beings of the Demon Race. Jiali City itself was almost destroyed due to their clash. Compared to such world-shattering power, what did their current strength amount to?

The shock was particularly evident in Tang San\'s team. In recent times, whether it was Wu Bingji, Gu Li, Cheng Zicheng, or Du Bai, their cultivation bases had advanced greatly. This made them unconsciously carry an air of arrogance. However, after witnessing yesterday\'s battle, any pride in their hearts was instantly ground away. Compared to such terrifying might, what were they?

Zhang Haoxuan\'s gaze swept over the faces of each student once more, finally settling into calmness. He said solemnly, "That\'s all. Classes will resume shortly. Tang San, come with me."

"Yes," Tang San replied and followed the quickly departing Zhang Haoxuan.

Only then did the students relax, looking at each other with heavy hearts.

In fact, it wasn\'t just them feeling oppressed inside; the teachers felt the same way, didn\'t they?

Over the past few years, Redemption Academy had developed smoothly, and the children had grown rapidly, especially Du Bai\'s Heavenly Fox Transformation and Gu Li\'s Time Variation Seal. These were very powerful Demon God Transformation bloodlines, and they had made significant progress, giving everyone hope.

However, yesterday\'s great battle left everyone feeling a chilling sense of dread. Is such a huge gap truly surmountable or even exceedable? And such beings are not few within the Monster and Fairy Clans!

Tang San silently followed behind Zhang Haoxuan, walking back to his residence in the small town of the academy.

Once the door was closed, Zhang Haoxuan turned around, his gaze intense as he looked at Tang San and said, "Where were you during the battle yesterday? I tried to find you first, but you were nowhere to be seen. Don\'t tell me you were at Jiali Academy, I checked there and even asked Elder Mao; you weren\'t there."

Tang San gave a wry smile and said, "I was originally there. But then Pretty Girl was taken away by some Demon King from the Ancestral Court, and I was a bit worried about her, so I followed to see what was happening. Then, the great battle broke out, and that overwhelming pressure immobilized me. I was trapped close to the area between Jiali City and the academy. Only after the battle ended could I run back."

Zhang Haoxuan didn\'t doubt his story and said angrily, "Is everything something you can just go see? That was a Demon King. Don\'t tell me you planned to take action yourself? How is Pretty Girl? Was she really taken away?"

Tang San replied, "I saw from a distance, it looked like she launched a sneak attack on the Ancestral Court Monster King and then ran away. It seemed like she had someone to meet her. The Monster King didn\'t catch up to her."

Zhang Haoxuan let out a sigh of relief, and as if something occurred to him, he nodded and said, "That\'s good to hear. Yesterday\'s battle came very suddenly. We must be careful in the upcoming period, as it\'s possible that there will be more moves from the Ancestral Court."

As he spoke, his voice softened, "Try to go out less. Stay in the academy and cultivate, and visit Jiali Academy less often. I\'ll inquire about Pretty Girl\'s situation and let you know if there\'s any news."

"Okay, thank you, teacher," Tang San said, nodding his agreement with a submissive expression.

Zhang Haoxuan sighed softly and said, "To be honest, it\'s not just the children who are feeling lost, even I felt bewildered after seeing yesterday\'s battle, as if I can no longer see the end of darkness. The gap is just too big, too vast."

Tang San said, "As long as the flame of hope is not extinguished, there is a future. The most powerful aspect of humanity lies in creating miracles. Every bit of our effort moves the entire human race forward."

Zhang Haoxuan looked at him somewhat blankly; these words did not seem to come from a child.

Tang San scratched his head and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhang Haoxuan rolled his eyes and said, "Sometimes, being with you makes me feel as though I\'m in the company of a peer."

In his heart, Tang San also rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, Is it easy for me to pretend to be younger? In terms of age, I\'m probably tens of thousands of years older than you, aren\'t I?

"What\'s your take on yesterday\'s incident?" Zhang Haoxuan asked.

Tang San replied, "A fight over resources, I guess."

Zhang Haoxuan nodded and said, "From what we know, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor and the Peacock Demon Clan appear to be sworn enemies. They have been feuding over the title of \'King of birds\' for many years without a victor. It is said that the inability of the Peacock Demon Clan to produce a Great Demon Emperor is related to them. Unexpectedly, this generation\'s Crystal Phoenix Heritage has produced a Great Demon Emperor, and they have come to trouble the Peacock Demon Clan so soon."
