Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

What surprised Tang San was that after helping him, Jingjing, the sleepy girl, fell back into a deep sleep and had not truly woken up again. It was unknown how long she would sleep. It was somewhat similar to children needing more sleep during their growth, and naturally, the energy she attained was all obtained from Tang San.

Indeed, as Tang San had anticipated, when he began his cultivation at Earth Yin Holy Mountain, the balance of Yin and Yang Qi neutralized the invasive Extreme Yang Fire inside him, drawing it into his Bluesilver Emperor Bloodline Brand. The foundation he had devoured from the Spider Tree Spirit, along with the overall enhancement of the Yin and Yang Qi, was rapidly digesting. After today\'s cultivation session, the foundation of the Level 2 Bloodline had almost been completely assimilated. To maintain the balance of the Yin and Yang Qi, he needed to continue devouring the Bloodline Brand of the Corpse Eating Spirit.

For this, Tang San\'s attitude was one of joy. The faster the digestion of the Bluesilver Emperor\'s foundation, the faster his Yin and Yang Qi cultivation was progressing. In the upcoming matches, he was very likely to encounter powerful beings from the Spirit Monster Race, making the acquisition of brands not a problem.

The regrettable part was that he had not obtained the Bloodline Brand of the Fierce Sunflower Essence Clan today, as there was no opportunity to approach them closely; their offensive was too fierce. Even though there had been a conversation at the end, it would have raised suspicions if Tang San had then made contact with their bodies to devour their bloodline power, as it was no longer within the context of combat.

However, Tang San was also very clear in his thinking. The Fierce Sunflower Essence Clan was an inherently Extreme Yang Spirit Monster Race, and its brand might not suit the Bluesilver Emperor. With the current foundation of the Bluesilver Emperor, it was debatable whether it could be devoured. If the attempt failed and instead disturbed the balance of the Yin and Yang Qi, he would suffer a loss instead of gaining an advantage.

Since he had enough for his current cultivation, he would continue. The promotion of the bloodline was not something to be achieved overnight, especially under the circumstances of possessing both Yin and Yang Qi. Tang San himself had to be particularly careful. This mutated bloodline he had created on his own required cautious advancement, continuously strengthening it by feeling the stones as he crossed the river.

That night, he cultivated separately on Earth Yin Holy Mountain and Mount Tianyang, also devouring the brand of the Corpse Eating Spirit. By the time he returned to his accommodation, it was already late at night. But the fire poison he had received by day was completely resolved, and his Yin and Yang Qi had improved even further.

Tang San also found that under the nourishment of the Yin and Yang Qi, there seemed to be certain benefits to the strength of his body. Moreover, this Yin and Yang Qi could essentially be used alongside his other offensive capabilities, though for now, the methods of utilization were relatively simple, being effective only in close combat where he could infuse it into the opponent\'s body directly.

The fight with Big Cat yesterday had quite an impact on him. Big Cat\'s battle with the Golden Mammoth Tribe was a straightforward clash of brute force, which looked simple, yet every sword stroke Big Cat delivered was the result of complete concentration of spirit, essence, and energy. Additionally, during this process, he had to adjust the Devouring and Exclusion Power that came from Lion Tiger Golden Gang, focusing it absolutely on the Heavy Sword. It wasn\'t easy. In terms of cultivation base, due to previous issues with bloodline fusion, Big Cat had only recently returned to level 9 and hadn\'t reached the pinnacle of level nine, whereas his opponent was definitely a pinnacle level 9 warrior from a top-tier race. Under such circumstances, to withstand their attack showed Big Cat\'s ferocity, and even the heavy injury at the end was mostly feigned.

Big Cat\'s combat experience and control over his own abilities were indeed the strongest Tang San had seen among his peers in this world. The fellow was a born warrior, both brave and strategic.

Tang San\'s current mode of battle involved using the Earth Shattering Hammer, but as his opponents grew stronger, he was finding the hammer increasingly inadequate. Since this hammer, forged from Heavenly Fire Fine Gold, hadn\'t undergone much refinement, and his previous cultivation was insufficient. Although he had restrained the Fierce Sunflower Essence Clan to some extent today, if the material of the hammer were truly brought out, refined to an Artifact level, dealing with them would be much easier.

It seems that after returning from the Ancestral Court this time, I really need to craft some weapons for myself.

This made Tang San couldn\'t help but think back to the two divine tools from his previous life. Unfortunately, both of these divine tools were currently beyond his ability to wield, unless he was willing to pay any price. But if that were the case, he would likely be attacked by the powerhouses of the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan, and he would not resort to using them unless it was absolutely necessary.

After only two hours of meditation, Tang San woke up with the dawn outside. Although he was still somewhat mentally fatigued, his physical condition had already returned to optimal shape. He had a doubles match today and couldn\'t afford to rest flat on his back like Big Cat.

First, he went to cultivate his Purple Demon Eyes, and then he went to the dining hall for breakfast.

When he arrived at the dining hall, he happened to run into his companions.

The recent period of cultivation in the Ancestral Court had led to not insignificant changes in his companions.

The improvement of their physique made everyone look spirited. Wu Bingji\'s temperament had taken on an increasingly cold aura, and his already handsome appearance now had an added sense of transcendence. As a result, Cheng Zicheng\'s gaze rarely left the side of the eldest brother.

Beyond Wu Bingji, the other companions had also undergone great changes. Cheng Zicheng seemed to become more womanly with the cultivation over this period, with long hair flowing behind her and bright, spirited eyes. The occasional charming smile was almost always directed at the eldest brother.

Gu Li had become even more composed. His strength was noticeably enhanced, his aura restrained, making him less ostentatious than before. He seemed to have settled down. He was still climbing at the Crystal Sacred Mountain, constantly challenging his limits. His time on the Sacred Mountain was the shortest each day, and upon returning, it was all thoughtful pondering and arduous cultivation, making his progress skyrocket daily.

Compared to before, Du Bai had a more ethereal air. Though he was clearly present, he gave off a peculiar feeling. As if his presence made everyone feel comfortable, and even the negative emotions in people\'s hearts seemed to dissipate when they saw him. It was evident that his climb up the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain was not in vain, and his mastery of the Heavenly Fox Transformation had deepened. Additionally, with the help Tang San had given to enhance his bloodline, his Heavenly Fox Transformation now had become unrecognizably more powerful, making him a true force capable of influencing the battlefield.

When everyone met, they naturally gathered together for a meal.

As Du Bai sat next to Tang San, he whispered, "Xiao Tang, are you really participating in that competition? I\'ve noticed that people climbing the Holy Mountains have become much fewer recently. It seems like they\'re all going to watch the competition. Are your opponents tough? How does it compare to when we were at the Grand Animal Fighting Arena before?"
