Chapter 302: Chapter 301 Breakthrough
Tang San\'s gaze swept over the young girls, sensing the vibrant life force emanating from them and their improved cultivation bases. Training in the Golden Valley had indeed yielded them twice the result with half the effort.
"Not bad, everyone has made progress. Continue to work hard."
Red One smiled and said, "We\'re all working very hard. Our goal is to be able to help our master in the future."
The youngest, Red Eighteen, who wasn\'t much older than Tang San, said, "Master, this place is really wonderful, but it\'s a bit lonely. When can you take us out to play?" She was the youngest, yet the boldest.
Tang San said, "Wait a bit longer. Once all of you break through to Fourth Stage or above, I\'ll consider taking you out for a trip. So you must work even harder."
Red One\'s eyes lit up, "Can we really go out?"
Tang San said, "Of course. Although I purchased you, you are all free. In the future, if you truly wish to leave, no one will stop you. But not yet, you don\'t have the ability to protect yourselves, so you must work hard."
"Thank you, Master," Red One said, clearly excited. "As long as we can get out occasionally, we won\'t leave our master. Everything we have is given to us by our Master."
Tang San smiled and remained silent.
"Xiao Tang, oh, I mean, Brother Tang, aren\'t you going to introduce them to us?" A hesitant voice came from behind, and without looking back, Tang San knew who it was.
"These girls were saved by my teacher and me when we went to the big auction last time. They were originally vassals of the Red Fox Tribe. Their appearances are too striking, so to avoid trouble in the city, my teacher and I brought them here to live. This one is Red One, and the rest follow in numerical order, for a total of eighteen."
Tang San turned to introduce the Red Fox girls to Wu Bingji, Du Bai, Gu Li, and Cheng Zicheng, who approached.
"Isn\'t this the Divine Realm? Xiao Tang, I really think, could you be the reincarnation of a god? This place, it\'s truly wonderful." Du Bai rubbed his hands together, his eyes repeatedly glancing over the Red Fox girls, unable to hide his excitement.
In his heart, Tang San thought, it\'s not reincarnation of a god, but rather the rebirth of the Godking.
"You\'re thinking too much; go and rest now. Everyone else, go cultivate." The latter part was naturally directed at the Red Fox girls.
Du Bai had intended to step forward and mingle, but Wu Bingji wrapped an arm around his shoulder and led him back towards the Golden Tree.
Zhang Haoxuan shook his head helplessly and said to Tang San, "You can focus on your breakthrough; I\'ll act as your protector."
"Alright."
Tang San\'s blood was fiercely surging within him, signaling that it was indeed time for a breakthrough.
He also came to the opposite side of the Golden Tree, sat down cross-legged on the spot, and started to enter a meditative state, feeling the rich life force emanating from the Golden Tree.
From Seventh Stage to the peak of the Seventh Stage, over the past year, he had been continuously suppressing his cultivation base. The restoration to his current level of strength, needless to say, was unquestionably rapid. Especially considering he also possessed the ability to devour. If he wished, it would have been possible to raise his cultivation to the peak of the Ninth Stage and attempt a breakthrough to God Rank within this year.
But of course, he would not do so; acting too hastily could lead to many problems. If he wasn\'t careful, it might result in an unsteady foundation. Especially since this world and his previous world were different, with many natural laws diverging. Therefore, although he had been in this world for many years, in some respects, he was still constantly exploring.
Over the year, he kept compressing his cultivation base, condensing his Spiritual Power, and nurturing his divine consciousness. He placed more focus on cultivating his divine consciousness. His state in the Mysterious Heaven Method had been continuously compressed and consolidated after reaching the peak of the Seventh Stage. Moreover, he didn\'t easily devour external forces. The efficacy of the devoured energy varied with bloodline purity; unless it was a particularly formidable bloodline, it was no longer worth his effort to devour.
Besides, achieving divine-ranked status in this world is not an easy task and requires much preparation.
After continuously devouring a Ninth Stage Elephant Demon and a Ninth Stage Money Leopard, he could no longer suppress his state and had to evolve at this time.
At this moment, Tang San possessed six types of Demon God Transformation abilities, including the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye and the Peacock Transformation, two first-level bloodline powers, as well as the Jinpeng Transformation, Time Variation Seal, Bluesilver Emperor, and Wind Tiger Transformation, which were four consolidated abilities within his body.
Among these, the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye was currently at the Fifth Stage Level, mainly influenced by the Heavenly Fox Transformation. Without Du Bai\'s evolution, he could hardly make further progress with the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, and even the bloodline power of the Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast he had devoured a few days ago only served to consolidate the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, significantly enhancing his element sensing. The Peacock Transformation was at the Seventh Stage and was obtained from Pretty Girl. Thus, in reality, the strongest Demon God Transformation that Tang San now possessed should be the Peacock Transformation.
The Jinpeng Transformation was at the Seventh Stage, the Time Variation Seal at the Sixth Stage, and both the Bluesilver Emperor and Wind Tiger Transformation were at the Seventh Stage.
For Tang San, after breaking through to the Eighth Stage, the only bloodline powers that could also break through were the Bluesilver Emperor and Wind Tiger Transformation. He would have to wait for his partners to continue making breakthroughs before he could elevate the others. This was also why he was not in a rush to raise his state. If the bloodline powers, especially first-level bloodlines, couldn\'t keep up with the increase, it wouldn\'t significantly enhance his overall strength.
Comparatively, his divine consciousness had been continuously nurtured, steadily recovering. The rate of recovery was not very fast, but exceptionally stable. To return to God Rank in the future, the most critical aspect would be his divine consciousness. By incessantly strengthening his divine consciousness, he could genuinely regain his godhood. Before reaching the peak of the Ninth Stage, he had to find a way to at least restore his divine consciousness to the level when he first entered God Rank, to ensure a higher chance of success.
As the Mysterious Heaven Method circulated, the life aura around moisturized his body. Tang San\'s long-suppressed state nearly shattered in the next instant. His body suddenly radiated light, and under the operation of the Mysterious Heaven Method, he absorbed a massive amount of life energy to replenish himself, giving off a translucent appearance.
On the other side, members of the Shrek squad, who had just started to rest and had not yet entered a meditative state, immediately sensed the changes happening on his side.
Du Bai\'s eyes brightened as he muttered to himself, "Is this, this a breakthrough? Eighth Stage? Xiao Tang has reached the Eighth Stage too?"
His face was full of envy. Indeed! Among everyone, Wu Bingji was the first to reach the Eighth Stage, but when Tang San first arrived, he was already at the Sixth Stage while Tang San was only at the Fourth Stage. And now, Tang San was on the verge of catching up with the eldest brother, advancing to the Eighth Stage Level. How could that not make the others present feel envious?
The Eighth Stage—that was the Eighth Stage! Among their teachers, only Mu Yunyu and Mu Enqing, the siblings, were at the Eighth Stage. Now Tang San had already attained the same level of strength as his teachers. And more so, his true abilities were undoubtedly more than what they appeared to be on the surface.
Wu Bingji felt this most acutely. In the battle yesterday, he could distinctly feel that he barely needed to control the blizzard. After discussing it with Tang San for only two days, how could he have managed to learn such a powerful combined Skill? It wasn\'t just about controlling his own power but also managing someone else\'s. What Tang San told him was simply to release the ice element freely and how to condense ice blades. The rest was not his concern. As it turned out, in the battlefield, the entire blizzard was orchestrated by Tang San alone. One could say it wouldn\'t be an overstatement if he was said to have defeated the Bloodlight Squad by himself. It was just that Tang San had always been reluctant to reveal too much of his cultivation base, which made Wu Bingji unclear about his real strength. Now, as he also broke through to the Eighth Stage, it was beyond doubt that he was the true number one amongst the Redemption Academy students. Keep in mind, Wu Bingji\'s strongest ice needle was also learned from Tang San!
