Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"I\'m back."

A figure appeared out of nowhere and lightly landed beside the four. Wasn\'t it Tang San?

Overjoyed, Wu Bingji and the others greeted his return, and Du Bai rushed to Tang San\'s side. "You\'re finally back. We were so worried. Are you alright?" As he spoke, he looked Tang San up and down.

Tang San seemed unchanged on the surface, but Du Bai, who possessed the Heavenly Fox Transformation, sensed something elusive emanating from him. To Du Bai\'s eyes, Tang San appeared to become somewhat ethereal, his demeanor gaining a transcendental quality.

Tang San glanced at the distant and imperceptible exit column of light and said, "Let\'s walk and talk; we don\'t have much time."

Wu Bingji nodded and said, "Then I\'ll use ice..."

Tang San interrupted him, "No need, Senior Brother. Just follow close to me."

As Tang San spoke, he placed his right hand on Du Bai\'s shoulder. Du Bai was about to say something when he suddenly felt a surge of strange energy wildly pour into his body, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort. His blood seemed to warm, soothing every cell in his body, and he couldn\'t help but moan out loud.

The white vision of the Three Tailed Sky Fox emerged above Du Bai\'s head, swaying gently in mid-air with its three long tails. The entire fox apparition radiated a soft glow that clearly grew stronger.

Tang San\'s Spirit Rhinoceros Eye had advanced to the peak of the Seventh Stage, and although it hadn\'t reached the Eighth Stage, he had absorbed a vast amount of the Power of Luck from Heaven\'s Garden, which could assist his ascent. Naturally, it would also greatly benefit Du Bai\'s Heavenly Fox Bloodline.

At that moment, he was infusing Du Bai with the Power of Luck stored within him from Heaven\'s Garden. This would cause the foundation of his own Spirit Rhinoceros Eye to decline slightly, but the benefit to Du Bai was undoubtedly immense.

As they say, don\'t forget who dug the well when you drink from it. Without Du Bai, Tang San wouldn\'t have gained such a powerful force as the Heavenly Fox Transformation. Moreover, even if he didn\'t transfer the Power of Luck to Du Bai, part of it would dissipate after leaving Heaven\'s Garden.

As the Power of Luck surged, the black and white Marks in Tang San\'s Dantian spun violently. The surrounding flowers displayed bizarre changes in color, now blue, now red, but even during their cold phases, they showed no intention of attacking.

A flash of white light suddenly brightened, and a fourth tail unexpectedly emerged from the back of the Heavenly Fox above Du Bai\'s head, swaying in the air.

Under Tang San\'s forceful infusion of Luck, Du Bai\'s state of Heavenly Fox Transformation was forcibly elevated to that of a Seventh Stage Four-tailed Heavenly Fox.

Du Bai\'s eyes brightened considerably with this change; his entire posture seemed to straighten significantly. His eyes became clear and luminous, with black and white light shimmering within them.

If the Sixth Stage of the Heavenly Fox Transformation means sensing the presence of doom, the interplay between luck and doom, then the Seventh Stage of the Four-tailed Heavenly Fox truly begins to fully control and harmonize these two starkly different energies, seemingly ethereal yet omnipresent.

From the moment they entered the Four-tailed state, the Heavenly Fox Clan had the basic ability to protect themselves, instead of purely controlling luck.

"Xiao Tang, what is this...?"

Tang San pointed toward the direction of the distant exit, leading the group on their departure and as they quickly moved, he explained to his companions, "Deep within Hell\'s Garden, there is a Heaven Garden guarded by Ninth Stage flowers. I was lucky enough to enter the Heaven Garden. In Heaven Garden, there is a vast Power of Luck, some of which I brought back and gave to you. Moreover, while I was there, I gained some opportunities that seemed to create a special power, affecting the flowers in Hell\'s Garden so they wouldn\'t attack me. That\'s the general situation."

He succinctly recounted his experiences without going into detail, for some things he couldn\'t clearly explain. Luckily, Jingjing was now marked and slumbering within him; otherwise, just explaining Jingjing\'s situation would have been troublesome. It wasn\'t every day that one gained a daughter from an outing...

According to the plan previously made with the Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce, they were to wait at the exit for an opportunity. For this team battle, one of the strongest teams that had been bribed by the caravan would clear their obstacles for them and then swap their identification plates for a different group\'s, allowing them to change their identities upon departure. The group they were switching with had simple backgrounds, without any affiliations.

This operation might sound simple, but without the powerful financial resources of the Spirit Rhinoceros Commerce, it would have been impossible, and it was only because Tang San and the others had enough value due to their relationship with the Array Master that the commerce had invested in such a strategy.

The only problem now was that they had delayed for so much time, and they had no idea what the situation at the exit was.

Tang San\'s original plan had been to take advantage of this opportunity to hunt down more members of the Monsters participating in the team battles and to select a Mark suitable for himself. He had eight Mark slots but only six Marks. However, due to the discovery of Heaven Garden, they had delayed far too long, and furthermore, he had intended to add just one Mark while keeping a slot open, a slot that was now occupied by Jingjing.

He also tried to activate the position of Jingjing\'s Mark to see if the little girl emerging from the Crystal Egg would provide him with abilities like his other Marks, but it didn\'t work. Jingjing lay dormant there, appearing to be a Mark, but in reality, there was no response, and it was entirely different from the other Marks.

Tang San dared not activate it further, so for now, it had to remain as it was.

What Tang San didn\'t tell his companions was that he had faintly unraveled the core secret of Hell\'s Garden, a secret related to the entire Fairy Continent. With his current strength, if the top powerhouses of the Monster Clan or Spirit Clan discovered that he had accessed this secret, even ten of him wouldn\'t be enough. Hence, the best choice was to keep a low profile upon their departure. Yet, this garden straddling both heaven and hell was already rousing countless possibilities in Tang San\'s heart.

As they watched the cold-colored flowers around them naturally shift to warm hues in their presence, imparting warmth and a rich natural power, everyone couldn\'t help but reveal expressions of astonishment. This world, once filled with dangers, seemed to have truly become Tang San\'s garden.

"Have you become the master of this place?" Du Bai couldn\'t help but ask.

Tang San gestured for silence and said, "Remember, after we go out, don\'t tell anyone about my current situation. Only the few of us should know. This Hell\'s Garden, it likely involves a grand secret of the Ancestral Court. Right now I\'m only guessing. We can\'t let anyone know we\'ve been deep inside."

Wu Bingji nodded and said, "Tang San, you don\'t have to tell us what you encountered, don\'t say anything. If we truly don\'t know, then we\'re not afraid of leaking anything. When the day comes that you think we need to know, it won\'t be too late to tell us then."

Tang San looked at his eldest fellow disciple, and in his eyes, Tang San saw trust, absolute trust.
