Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"What exactly is your bloodline? Why didn\'t I see you use the Wind Tiger Transformation during the competition? What about your wind element control?" Cheng Zicheng pressed on.

Tang San replied with a wry smile, "This is a long story. It\'s a bit complicated to explain."

Zhang Haoxuan glanced at him and said, "I have already told them, this matter must be kept strictly confidential. Nobody can reveal anything about your original Wind Tiger Transformation to outsiders. Let\'s just say it\'s a bloodline variation, plus you originally had Double Bloodlines. Golden Peng Transformation and what\'s the other one?"

"Hmm, Lion Tiger Change." Tang San knew what he meant. The teacher knew that his Mysterious Heaven Skill was capable of absorbing multiple Bloodline Brands. When Tang San first came to Redemption Academy, he had already informed him, back then he needed Zhang Haoxuan\'s support.

"Hmm, Lion Tiger Change plus Golden Peng Transformation. You don\'t need to ask anything more, just remember to say this if someone asks. Two types of Bloodline Brands."

"The Lion Tiger Change of the Lion Tiger Sword Saint?" Du Bai murmured to himself, "Why do I feel like Tang San, you seem to acquire the Demon God Transformation of anyone you\'re with."

Tang San glanced at him, thinking to himself, you\'re right.

"Let\'s eat," Zhang Haoxuan said, diffusing the awkwardness as he invited everyone to breakfast.

While having breakfast, everyone was noticeably quiet. Tang San quietly finished his meal first. Then he looked earnestly at his teammates and said, "I\'m very sorry, there have been some things I\'ve kept hidden from all of you. But please believe me, whether it\'s towards Redemption Academy or all of you, I am wholeheartedly committed. There are some things that I can\'t disclose to you, and for that, I sincerely apologize. One day, when I can protect everything with my own abilities, I will reveal everything to you."

Wu Bingji smiled and said, "Tang San, you don\'t need to say these things; we have always trusted you. Without you, our little team would not have come this far, and none of us would have the strength we have now. For us, you are both a mentor and a friend. You\'ve always been helping and teaching each of us. And yet, you are the youngest among us, which has always been strange. In fact, we all guessed that there were secrets about you, but we didn\'t probe into them because we could feel your kindness towards us, your constant giving. A person like you, no matter what secrets you have, is someone we absolutely trust. So don\'t worry, everyone is just amazed by the strength you displayed yesterday; without knowing it, you\'ve already become so strong. Strong enough to be on par with the top fighters of the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan at their peak level."

"Yeah! If only we could become as strong as you." Gu Li said with an envious expression.

Du Bai curled his lip and said, "You? You have no chance in this lifetime."

"You can? That\'s way better than you with no combat ability at all," Gu Li retorted.

"Believe it or not, I\'ll curse you with misfortune!"

"Hmph!"

Tang San said helplessly, "I am indeed a bit different from everyone else, but no matter what kind of ability, reaching the peak would make it an extremely powerful existence. All of my fellow disciples here have at least a Level 2 Bloodline talent. After the recent enhancement, even the senior brother\'s Ice Spirit Transformation should be at the bloodline level of Level 2. As long as we resolve the issue with bloodline intensity, I believe our human comprehension is unmatched by any other race. This journey to the Ancestral Court, I believe you all have also felt it, and everyone has been making progress. When one day you receive recognition from the Demon Emperor, it will prove that you stand at the peak of all races at the same level."

"Tang San is right, instead of envying others, we should put in the effort. Let\'s continue to push forward!" Du Bai clenched his fist and waved it. Ever since he started climbing the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain, his understanding of controlling Lucky of the Heavenly Fox Eye had grown day by day. Now that he had become a Four-tailed Heavenly Fox, his confidence had grown much stronger than before.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "The speed at which you\'re improving now is something we couldn\'t have imagined back in our days. I was considered to have a high bloodline intensity, and I worked extremely hard. But at your age, I was still very weak. You should feel fortunate to have met Tang San. Without his help, you wouldn\'t have reached this point. Keep up the effort, and aim to reach the Ninth Stage peak soon. Tang San will help you achieve God Rank, and with your bloodline levels, once you achieve God Rank, the future will see you as pillars of our organization. By the way, Tang San, there\'s something else I need to discuss with you."

"Please speak, Teacher," Tang San said respectfully.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "As you become more and more noticeable in this elite competition, you\'ve attracted the attention of our organization. They are now inquiring about your background, hoping to find a way to keep in touch with you, or even recruit you into the organization. Of course, they\'re looking for Asura."

Tang San himself was a member of the Redemption Organization, but Asura was not. The fact that he had these two identities was known only to the few present.

Tang San looked at Zhang Haoxuan and asked, "What do you think?"

Zhang Haoxuan smiled and said, "Of course, I kept it a secret for you. There\'s too much at stake. So, after I returned yesterday, I also emphasized to everyone the matter concerning your identity. It must be kept in strict confidence, with no leaks whatsoever."

"Thank you for understanding, Teacher."

Now was indeed not the right time for him to be exposed to the senior levels of the Redemption Organization. With his performance at this Ancestral Court elite competition, if the Redemption Organization knew it was one of their own, they would undoubtedly provide him with more resources, and he might even attain a high position. However, that would expose him and saddle him with more responsibilities, which Tang San did not wish to happen at this time. Moreover, the knowledge of the Redemption Organization by the Peacock Demon King among the Monster and Spirit Clans showed that the Redemption was not so mysterious in the eyes of those clans.

The reason the Ancestral Court had not targeted them was simply that the Ancestral Court did not deign to target such a small human organization. But if, not long after, Tang San achieved even better results in the Ancestral Court elite competition and proved his talent, yet also belonged to Redemption, it could bring disaster to both Redemption and himself.

Therefore, Zhang Haoxuan did not need to ask Tang San to know how to respond to the organization. It would be better not to expose him until Tang San had decisively the ability to lead the organization.

"You have a duo competition today, right? Who are you partnering with?" Du Bai suddenly asked.

"You\'ll know when you watch the match today," Tang San replied.

The others had only watched the competition for the first time yesterday, so naturally, they didn\'t know he was competing with Pretty Girl.

"Do we need to watch to know that? You\'re with the Lion Tiger Sword Saint, right?" Cheng Zicheng snorted and said, "Xiao Tang, I have a favor to ask you. Can you teach me some flying techniques? Watching you fight against that Behemoth giant beast yesterday, I felt ashamed to death. We both use the Golden Peng Transformation, so how come you can fly so well!"
