Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

In front of them were two large doors, the biggest Tang San had seen in this world besides the city gates of Jiali City.

The doors were even taller than the city walls beside them. Hanging at the top was a huge signboard with several large characters on it.

"Jiali Academy!"

Tang San read out those four words.

Zhang Tianxiao nodded and said, "That\'s right, it\'s Jiali Academy. This is the highest-level academy in the entire Jiali City. In every main city of the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan, there\'s such a high-level academy. Only those with exceptional talent or nobles are qualified to study here. There are many entry thresholds for entering the high-level academy, including age, cultivation base, background, and bloodline, all of which need to be evaluated. Only those who qualify can enter here."

"Is this our Redemption Academy?" Tang San asked in confusion.

Zhang Tianxiao\'s mouth twitched a little, "Dream on. If we humans owned such an academy, would we still be vassals? Follow me." He said this while pulling Tang San, and instead of walking forward towards Jiali Academy, he turned onto an inconspicuous path and entered the woods.

Walking through the woods was essentially just following the outer wall of Jiali Academy. After following the wall for a long time and moving towards higher ground, it seemed they had come around to the side or the back of Jiali Academy. In the distance, a cluster of houses appeared in Tang San\'s field of vision.

Because of the tall courtyard walls, Tang San had not been able to see the inside of Jiali Academy. However, these wooden houses had a familiar feeling, similar to the buildings in Wind Wolf Town.

These wooden houses were just outside the thick walls of Jiali Academy. When Tang San got closer following Zhang Tianxiao, he suddenly saw that this wooden house area was mostly inhabited by humans.

Some people saw Zhang Tianxiao returning, and they smiled and greeted him.

"Old Zhang, you\'re back. How about a drink tonight?"

"Not for now, just got back and I\'m a bit tired," Zhang Tianxiao said with a laugh.

"Tired? Did you do something naughty? Hahaha!"

The atmosphere here was surprisingly relaxed, and entering this town-like area, Tang San saw that they were all humans.

Feeling the atmosphere around him, he suddenly had a feeling as if he had been transported to another world.

The humans living here were substantial in number, at least several thousand. What surprised him was that among these thousands, people did not exhibit the numbness of slaves; most of them looked leisurely, almost like the humans from his previous life.

Several thousand people! All vassals? Are there so many vassals in Jiali City? And the atmosphere here was completely different from what he had seen of humans in other places. At least the humans here walked upright.

"This place, it\'s..." Tang San was just about to speak when his mouth was suddenly covered.

"The name I told you, you just need to know it yourself. Don\'t say it out loud, understand?" Zhang Tianxiao whispered.

"Mhm," Tang San nodded.

Zhang Tianxiao led him into the town, saying as they walked, "Do you find it strange why there are so many people here and obviously, they\'re not slaves?"

Tang San nodded.

Zhang Tianxiao explained, "That\'s because this town exists because of Jiali Academy. Both the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan consider the nurturing of their offspring a very important matter. High-level academies have a very high status among both clans. Almost every high-level academy is chaired by the City Lord. And the top-level schools are in the Ancestral Court, personally overseen by the Ancestral Court itself. Thus, the status of Jiali Academy is even above the City Lord Manor, and here, regardless of race, all Monster Clan who are able to pass the exam and study are elite. The existence of our town is to serve Jiali Academy. Do you understand?"

Tang San suddenly realized, no wonder this town existed in affiliation with Jiali Academy. Indeed, for such a grand academy, the necessary resources and services were substantial. Although humans did not possess any innate abilities, at most relying on the Demon God Transformation for some strength, humans were ingenious and skillful. Serving as vassals to the academy was naturally very suitable.

At the same time, he also understood that the so-called Redemption Academy of the Redemption Organization must be located in this town. With such a prestigious academy to provide cover, the Redemption Organization was able to exist here. It must be one of the most important strongholds.

Zhang Tianxiao led Tang San to a wooden hut deeper within the town, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked in.

He brought Tang San into the hut, instructed him to rest there for a while, and then left.

After Zhang Tianxiao had gone, Tang San surveyed his surroundings. Although the arrangement inside the wooden hut was simple, it seemed to have all the necessities of life.

The Origin Energy here was very rich; although he didn\'t know how it compared to the interior of Jiali Academy but at least it was much stronger than in Wind Wolf Town. It was even denser than inside Jiali City.

How far was this place from the Pretty Girl Milk Tea Shop in the city center? Once he got settled down, he\'d have to scout out the route first.

Tang San thought to himself.

Thousands of human vassals lived here. This was also the first pure land for human survival he had encountered. At least compared to the places he had seen before, it could be considered a pure land.

Before long, Zhang Tianxiao came back. Accompanying him was a tall man.

This man appeared to be in his thirties or forties and had a height of over two meters. His body was very muscular, with bare arms that showed off his granite-like muscles. His face was resolute, but his eyes were very calm.

"Is it him?" the tall man asked Zhang Tianxiao.

Zhang Tianxiao obviously showed considerable respect for him, "Yes, I\'ve tested him. If you\'re not reassured, you can test him yourself."

The middle-aged man silently nodded, then said to Tang San, "Follow me."

Tang San didn\'t say anything. Since he was here, he would adapt accordingly. He stood up and followed behind the middle-aged man and Zhang Tianxiao, walking outside.

The middle-aged man clearly had a high status in the town; people who saw him on the road would proactively greet him.

Town Mayor! That was the title everyone called him by. This middle-aged man was the mayor of the town. A human City Lord, not one sent by the Monster Clan, which was quite rare. Tang San thought to himself.

He didn\'t ask much, just followed behind the middle-aged man.

They arrived at a wooden hut towards the back of the town, and the City Lord and Zhang Tianxiao led Tang San inside.

This wooden hut was obviously bigger and, although it didn\'t have much decoration, it had a very strong sense of domesticity.

The City Lord looked at Tang San calmly and said, "Introduce yourself. Including what you are good at."

Tang San replied, "My name is Tang San, from Wind Wolf Town, nine years old. I have the Wind Wolf Transformation ability and am skilled in Wind Blade Manoeuvres." He spoke concisely.

Listening to Tang San\'s voice, neither servile nor overbearing, the City Lord\'s eyes narrowed slightly before he turned to look at Zhang Tianxiao, "You said before that he\'s at the Fourth Stage?"

Zhang Tianxiao nodded and said, "Yes. I\'ve fought him. His wind blades I could barely block. The wind blades he controls are the most exquisite I have ever seen. I\'ve also asked Wang Yanfeng, and Wang Yanfeng said that he seems to have met our people when he was young and had received some guidance. However, to be able to cultivate to the Fourth Stage at such a young age, his talent is indeed quite exceptional."
