Chapter 159: The Beginning Of The Plan
Deducing the alarm formations of these outer cabinets was much easier. In a little over an hour, Tang San was confident he could open the doors of these display cabinets without making a sound.
After completing this, a smile gradually appeared on Tang San's face. He had a plan.
As dawn broke, at the entrance of Kali Academy's store, a Mighty Ape Demon stretched its body, unable to resist yawning.
The other Mighty Ape Demon nearby yawned along with it, grumbling, "Why haven't they arrived yet? These lazy bones are killing me with sleepiness."
"They're here!" said the yawning ape demon in front.
A small-stature fox demon was approaching quickly. It had long, shiny, brown-yellow hair, a sharp, pointed mouth, and a slender build. Its eyes were huge, and it was easy to see where the demon’s gaze shifted to as they darted around.
"You're a bit late today, Manager Hu!" chuckled one of the ape demons.
The fox demon, Manager Hu, replied irritably, "I'm not late; you're just getting lazy. Come inside for the handover, then you can go to sleep."
"Alright!"
The two apes followed Manager Hu as he opened the door and entered the academy store.
Just as they entered, Manager Hu suddenly stopped, and his already large eyes widened even further. He darted forward like lightning the next instant, rushing straight to the counter.
The Mighty Ape Demon guards were startled and quickly followed, with one shouting, "Manager Hu, what's wrong?"
With an angry and sharp voice, Manager Hu exclaimed, "What's going on? How do you guys do your job? Why is a cabinet door open?"
The two Mighty Ape Demons hurried forward to check, and indeed, a cabinet door in the medicine area was open. The medicine counter facing the main entrance was very conspicuous, which was why Manager Hu had noticed it immediately.
"It's impossible! Everything was fine when we were patrolling," the Mighty Ape Demons quickly defended.
However, Manager Hu remained silent, visibly angry. He swiftly took out a ledger from the counter and started comparing it with the contents of the opened cabinet.
His grim and angry expression gradually eased as he murmured, "Nothing's missing, nothing at all. That's good, that's good."
The two Mighty Ape Demons looked confused. "Manager Hu, what's going on? This cabinet..."
Manager Hu glanced back at them and said, "Strange... I don't know why the cabinet door was open, but nothing inside is missing."
Yes, "dog" was the nickname Tang San had given him.
Tang San felt helpless about this; his plan needed more time. With his current strength, he was still lacking. He had to hasten the execution of his plan!
Night fell. The night always carried a sense of mystery. Even in the dark stillness... some remained active.
Tang San quietly left the small Academy Town and once again arrived at the back door of Kali Academy under the cover of night.
With a flickering white light in his eyes, the Discerning Eye of Heaven activated. Tang San silently sensed his luck.
Du Bai had already blessed him in the evening, so Tang San's luck was bound to be good. Still, he decided to observe cautiously for safety.
He waited at the back door.
It seemed that fortune still favored him, as two drunkards arrived together, quietly knocking on the door.
The door opened, and the guard quietly pulled it open, letting them in.
Seizing this opportunity, Tang San darted out from the shadows with a Leopard Flash, preparing to enter as he had before.
However, as he leaped out, a sudden, inexplicable sense of alarm surged in his heart.
Not good!
He immediately aborted his Leopard Flash, tapped the ground with his right foot, flipped backward, and darted toward the distance.
At the same time, a large hand grabbed at the air, precisely where he would have been had he continued with his Leopard Flash.
Immediately following was a loud shout. "WHO DARES TO TRESPASS?"
A powerful aura erupted, and a figure wrapped in blue-purple light charged out, moving directly toward Tang San.
Eighth order! At least eighth order! In the instant of the opponent's eruption, Tang San immediately understood what he was facing.
A strong sense of danger struck again, and Tang San swiftly dodged, using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and narrowly avoiding the strike of two bolts of lightning.
He activated Leopard Flash again. Although his Flash Leopard bloodline imprint was only at the fourth order, his cultivation was at the sixth, which gave him more than enough energy. Thus, he blinked continuously from place to place, using the trees around to conceal himself.
