Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

"Teacher, why did you hit me again?" he grimaced in pain.

"Are you looking for death? Do you realize how important she is to the organization? How could you recklessly reveal your identity in front of her? Even Si Ru doesn\'t know her identity, and in the whole of Jiali City, only I in the organization know."

Tang San offered a wry smile, "At that moment, do you think she wouldn\'t have killed me if I hadn\'t revealed my identity? Please hear me out first!"

He then recounted how he had followed the four Eighth-stage Winged Tigers. In that situation, even as the past Godking, Tang San couldn\'t have possibly known that the Pretty Girl would return before seeing the mark on the forehead of the Winged Tigers!

After hearing his explanation, Zhang Haoxuan\'s expression improved significantly.

"Did you intentionally appear before her with two identities?" Zhang Haoxuan suddenly asked. As the person in charge of the Redemption Organization in Jiali City, he was naturally extremely meticulous in thought.

Tang San shook his head, "Not really. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Moreover, she\'s seen what I really look like. The Asura identity is convenient for acting in secret later." He wouldn\'t tell Zhang Haoxuan that he used two identities to better protect the Pretty Girl in secret as Asura; only with the Asura identity could he freely use his abilities in front of the Pretty Girl without restraint.

However, now that his real body had exposed the Wind Protective Energy and the Bluesilver Emperor bloodlines, he wouldn\'t be able to use these two bloodlines while assuming the Asura identity in the future.

"You must be careful and cautious in front of her in the future. She is very important to the organization, and with your intelligence, I believe you also see her significance," said Zhang Haoxuan.

"Mhm-mhm," Tang San nodded. He certainly saw it. Considering how the Pretty Girl could leverage the powerful abilities of the Peacock Demon King, a genuine First level Bloodline Awakening, her status as a member of the Blue Level redemption was undoubtedly worth having.

Both were First level Bloodlines, yet look how useless Du Bai was. Without Tang San\'s arrival, Du Bai would still be stuck at the Third Stage. The barely thirteen-year-old Pretty Girl, on the other hand, was already at the Seventh Stage and possessed the combat strength of the Ninth Stage. Such an existence must be unique within the entire Redemption Organization.

"I hope that you, too, can grow quickly. In my heart, your role in the organization might even be greater than hers. What she can do is only within Jiali City, but what you can do might potentially benefit all of humanity," he said.

Teacher, you really have vision! Tang San secretly thought, but outwardly he just nodded, displaying an attitude of being eager to learn.

"Let\'s go, it\'s time to head back," said Zhang Haoxuan, looking less than pleased.

Tang San asked, "Teacher, is the Ninth-stage Tiger King with you?"

Zhang Haoxuan glanced at him, "Being too smart sometimes isn\'t a good thing."

Tang San chortled, "I am your disciple, and I devised this plan. I should have a share of the spoils, right? Did you annihilate the entire Winged Tiger group?"

Zhang Haoxuan shook his head, "Destroying a race is against the heavens. I only hunted a portion of them."

When the Golden Lion Dog had fled afar, Zhang Haoxuan naturally appeared in front of the King of Winged Tigers. Facing the severely injured Tiger King, that was a matter of course, a direct solution to the problem. And the other Seventh Grade Winged Tigers naturally stood no chance against him. Especially after being intimidated by the golden bloodline, dealing with them was easier than ever.

"Was it because your storage device couldn\'t hold them all?" Tang San looked at him with a bit of puzzlement. He didn\'t believe humans had any kind of sentiments about damaging the heavens when it came to Demon Beasts and the Monster Race. Those races held far too much malice towards humanity.

Zhang Haoxuan lifted his hand, and Tang San ducked his neck. He grinned at him.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Having too much would be troublesome to deal with. Otherwise, it\'s easy to slip up. After going back, I need to visit other cities to gradually liquidate our gains. Your share is certainly secure."

The hunt this time didn\'t wipe out the Winged Tigers completely, but they lost nearly all of their Eighth-stage and above beings, and it\'s not going to be easy for them to recover anytime soon. They can\'t choose this place for their next training expedition.

Zhang Haoxuan, accompanied by Tang San, and a few others from the Wu Bingji group, returned to Redemption Academy. The gains from this adventure were too immense to be described as merely large.

The greatest surprise for Tang San was the vitality from the Ninth-stage Winged Tiger.

Although Zhang Haoxuan had killed it, while its vitality was still warm, he allowed Tang San to devour and absorb it. The bloodline power of the Ninth-stage Tiger King was incredibly strong, pushing Tang San\'s Mysterious Heaven Method to the peak of the Sixth-stage Peak. If he wanted, there was a possibility for him to break through to the Seventh Stage right now. The only problem was whether his current body could endure the power of the Seventh Stage.

Tang San chose to forcefully suppress it, consolidating the immense bloodline power within his body without rushing to break through. As someone who was once a Godking, he understood all too well how important it is to solidify one\'s foundation.

After witnessing the formidable power of Pretty Girl, Tang San reflected deeply and painfully realized how insufficient his cultivation was. The rewards from this expedition were also substantial, allowing him to reveal his Redemption identity in front of Pretty Girl. After returning, he must diligently cultivate and promptly enhance his strength, in order to truly protect Pretty Girl! After all, she had major affairs to attend to.

When they returned to Redemption Academy, everything was as usual.

Regarding the spoils of this journey, Zhang Haoxuan instructed them to keep it a secret, as for the other students, their gains this time were simply too great. This also included the benefits brought about by Zhang Haoxuan.

As for the distribution of the gains, that would have to wait until after the mayor concluded the fence operation.

Although the Redemption Team didn\'t see a significant improvement in strength this time, the benefits they obtained were much greater, and regardless of how they were divided, it was sure to be more than the last time. With money, training would naturally become easier and yield results faster.

Yet, at this moment, Tang San\'s heart had already drifted back to Jiali Academy.

Jiali Academy.

"Pretty Sister, you saved all of us, how could we divide these spoils with you? It should all be yours."

The Beauty and Beast Squad had already returned and were dividing the spoils. Yet, as all the members looked at Pretty Girl, none of them made a move to take their share.

The spoils included a corpse of an Eighth-stage Winged Tiger, as well as several Seventh-grade Winged Tigers. Naturally, this did not include the two Eighth-stage ones Pretty Girl had taken away when she returned.

Pretty Girl shook her head, "I\'ll take the Eighth-grade one; you guys divide the rest." As she spoke, she stepped forward, took the corpse of the Eighth-stage Winged Tiger, and then turned to leave.

Watching her departing figure, Song Junhou couldn\'t help but raise his hand to cover his face. Then he released it and slapped himself hard on the cheek.

This was the first time in his life he truly knew what regret meant.

When he saw Pretty Girl\'s forehead light up with the Peacock Golden Crown and the Peacock feathers stabbed out, instantly killing four Eighth-stage Winged Tigers, he truly felt so regretful that his guts turned green.

The Gold Crown Prince, the only Gold Crown Prince of the Peacock Demon Clan in this generation! A Gold Crown Prince with the potential of a Demon Emperor.

Is a First level Bloodline definitively more powerful than a golden bloodline? Not necessarily. Although the golden bloodline is a Level 2 Bloodline, its power is very stable, and almost all direct descendants of the golden bloodline possess tremendous capabilities. The talent of the golden bloodline is also basically guaranteed to awaken.

As for the First level Bloodline, after its awakening, in most cases, it is only comparable to a Level 2 Bloodline. Only the most exceptional among them can awaken the power of a First level Bloodline.

Of course, some special First level Bloodlines are exceptions.

The Peacock Demon Clan is a very distinctive class within the First level Bloodlines. Without the awakening of the Golden Crown, the power of the Peacock Demon Clan is actually equivalent to that of a Third Level Bloodline. This is also why previously Wang Yan and his subordinates, despite being Eighth-stage, didn\'t display particularly powerful abilities.
