Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Especially this time, during their expedition, it was always Tang San, Wu Bingji, Gu Li, and Cheng Zicheng who fought. When they hunted demon beasts, he just watched from the sidelines. While others fought, he hid away. That feeling was like having his heart clawed at.

Especially the last battle, he watched helplessly as Tang San, Wu Bingji, and Gu Li covered their retreat, urging him and Cheng Zicheng to run first. At that moment, he truly felt useless.

He too was a young man with hot blood in his veins, eager to stand alongside his friends and face powerful enemies! But he was useless, staying behind wouldn\'t have made any difference.

In that instant, the yearning in his heart, the rage against himself, the intense unwillingness, caused him an unbearable headache. It felt as if he was going to explode.

What use was it, to have the first level of the Heavenly Fox Eye bloodline, he would rather have a lower one with combat ability!

In that moment, he erupted, channeling his Spiritual Power to furiously assault his Heavenly Fox Eye, silently praying for his companions\' safety. He didn\'t know if what he was doing was useful, but it was all he could do.

And it was in that instant that something seemed to burst within him, he even thought he could see the distant battlefield, and the dire situation of Tang San and the others. The vision flashed by, and then he plunged into darkness. He vaguely remembered, in that final moment, that he seemed to emit a white light that enveloped the battlefield in the distance.

When he woke up, he found himself back in his own room. At first, he was groggy, but soon, he had a strangely wonderful feeling. Following that feeling as he got up from the bed, when he walked out of the room and saw the sky outside and felt the different changes around him, he suddenly realized things had changed, yes, changed, the Heavenly Fox Eye, evolved! He had finally broken through the Third Stage bottleneck and entered the Fourth Stage.

The Heavenly Fox Eye at the Fourth Stage seemed to really bring about a special change in him.

If before, his Heavenly Fox Eye was mostly for observation and subconsciously feeling things, able to sense whose luck was a little stronger and whose was worse, able to have some precognition of danger, though to a limited degree.

Now, however, he felt he could vaguely control some aspects of luck. As if the threads of the world were within his perception, and he could try to pull these threads, causing them to change according to his thoughts.

At this time, he thought of his friends, and his heart instantly overflowed with joy. Thus, he rushed to find Tang San first to share the good news. But to his surprise, Tang San realized immediately that he had completed the evolution of the Heavenly Fox Transformation.

"Shh," Tang San signaled him to be quiet with a gesture, "Keep your voice down, don\'t spread the word. This matter must not be leaked. Your Heavenly Fox Eye is a key secret of the academy. It wasn\'t a big deal when it was at the Third Stage, and people didn\'t sense much about it. But the stronger your ability, the more significant the Heavenly Fox Eye becomes, the more dangerous you are. This can only be told to the teachers, don\'t let the senior brothers find out."

"Mhm, mhm," Du Bai nodded excitedly, "Is everyone alright? How\'s our Big Senior Brother and the others?"

"Don\'t worry, everyone\'s fine, only you and Senior Brother Gu Li passed out. Now that you\'re awake, he should be waking up soon too," Tang San said.

Du Bai took a deep breath, "That\'s great, really great. As long as everyone\'s fine, it\'s wonderful." As he spoke, he rushed over to hug Tang San.

Tang San helplessly propped his hand against Du Bai\'s chest, "Calm down, calm yourself. Let\'s go report this to the teachers first. Forget it, you can\'t control your emotions right now. I\'ll go get the teacher. You wait here for me."

It was still early morning, almost time for breakfast. Tang San closed the door, instructing Du Bai to wait in his room, and went straight to the cafeteria.

The person he was looking for was not Headmaster Zhang Haoxuan, as the headmaster didn\'t reside in the academy. The real big steward of the academy was Guan Longjiang. In some sense, he was the dean.

Thinking back on how Guan Longjiang had scolded Zhang Haoxuan just yesterday, Tang San still wanted to laugh. The headmaster took the fall for him! And today, he was likely to be chewed out as well. It was because they had just come back yesterday, and the first to be targeted was the headmaster.

Slipping into the canteen quietly, Tang San immediately spotted Guan Longjiang.

Guan Longjiang would always come to the canteen early in the morning to confirm the day\'s breakfast and ensure everything was prepared for everyone.

The canteen was filled with the rich scent of soup, clearly from the bones of the ground-piercing lizard they had eaten the day before. Such a nourishing treat for everyone! The dining facilities at Jiali Academy couldn\'t possibly be much better.

"Teacher Guan," Tang San called out softly.

Turning to look and spotting him, Guan Longjiang\'s expression immediately darkened, "I was just about to look for you. Tang San, do you realize..."

Just as Guan Longjiang\'s eyes were about to spill over with anger, Tang San quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Teacher Guan, I have some good news to tell you."

"Good news? What good news?" Guan Longjiang asked, puzzled.

Tang San leaned in close and whispered in his ear.

"What? Really?" Guan Longjiang\'s eyes widened instantly, and he completely forgot about scolding Tang San.

"Are you sure? You\'re certain?" The voice of the head of discipline was even slightly trembling.

"I\'m sure, absolutely sure. There won\'t be any mistake, his own feelings can\'t be wrong either," Tang San affirmed.

"Where is he? Why didn\'t he come with you?" Guan Longjiang asked urgently.

Tang San replied, "He was a bit too excited, and I exposed him. I think this matter should be kept a secret, considering its significance. So, I had him wait in my room while I came to report to you immediately. I\'m not sure if I did the right thing?"

"Right, very right. Keep it a secret, by all means." Guan Longjiang, excited, rubbed his hands together and barely managed to stabilize his emotions, "Let\'s go, take me there. I must personally feel it to be sure."

"Okay."

Right away, Tang San led Guan Longjiang to the door of his dormitory. Before they could enter, Guan Longjiang grabbed him and said, "Stand guard at the door and don\'t let anyone in." While speaking, he pushed the door open and left Tang San outside.

The corner of Tang San\'s mouth twitched, This is my room! Now I\'ve become the doorman.

But, if guarding the door is what it takes... It seems like I might avoid being scolded today.

It wasn\'t long before the door opened.

When Guan Longjiang appeared before Tang San again, his face was glowing with joy.

"Teacher Guan, how is it?" Tang San asked tentatively.

Guan Longjiang burst into laughter, "Great, very great. Exceptionally great! Hahaha. Xiao Tang, this time you\'ve really made a significant contribution. Remember to keep it secret. That\'s it, I\'ll have that kid stay hidden for now. You take him back to his place, help him stabilize his state so he can control his powers before he shows himself. Otherwise, everyone will be able to sense the change in his bloodline. I\'m off to find your teacher," he said and hurried away.
