"Okay, thank you, Teacher," Tang San replied without any hesitation, not stubbornly refusing to show off his capabilities. He simply agreed amicably, then ran off to wash up.Just then, Si Ru, the ever-composed teacher, slowly approached Guan Longjiang and asked, "What do you think of this kid?"
Guan Longjiang said, "Not bad, he's young but very composed and not at all arrogant. His physical strength is also good; he took out six weights just now. At his age, to have such physical strength means that his foundation is very solid. His breath is long. Fourth Stage Peak, right?"
Si Ru shook his head and said, "No, he's at the Fifth Stage."
"Fifth Stage? Nine years old, Fifth Stage?" Guan Longjiang exclaimed, stretching out his right hand with all five fingers spread out.
Si Ru curled his lips and said, "Otherwise, why do you think Zhang Haoxuan was so eager to take on an apprentice? This little Tang San must be more than just Fifth Stage; there might be other secrets on him that we don't know about yet. You know what Zhang Haoxuan is like, right? He wouldn't get out of bed early if there wasn't something in it for him."
Guan Longjiang blinked and said, "Are you suggesting that sneaky fellow got one over on us by making the first move?"
Si Ru chuckled and replied, "Of course. I just didn't bother to expose him. After all, the child's Demon God Transformation is just the Wind Wolf Transformation. Even if his Wind Wolf Transformation has mutated, the foundation of his bloodline is still a bit weak. Let's hope he can go further."
Guan Longjiang pondered and said, "If his base bloodline is weaker, even if he reaches a higher stage in the future, he would probably be weaker among his peers at the same stage."
Si Ru said, "That's just an initial judgment. The specifics will depend on what level of ability he can demonstrate. In this afternoon's combat class, let Enqing properly test him."
"Alright. Let's take a look at that time," Guan Longjiang nodded and agreed.
Back in the room, Tang San freshened up and changed into a set of clean and dry clothes. He immediately felt as if a weight had been lifted off his body. The Mysterious Heaven Method was very nourishing for the body, with excellent health benefits. Moreover, Tang San was very familiar with the practice of the Mysterious Heaven Method as this was his third life, after all. In just this short time, most of his fatigue had dissipated, and his vitality had become even more vigorous. The only side effect was, he was hungry…
Lunch had already been prepared in the cafeteria: boiled meat.
This so-called boiled meat was just meat boiled in water, with a bit of salt added. Yes, it was that simple and plain.
For the students who expended a great deal of physical energy, the nutrients in the meat were exactly what they needed.
Large basins of boiling meat steamed on the tables.
With a declaration from Guan Longjiang to begin the meal, everyone had already started eating without any courtesies.
Getting enough to eat was undoubtedly a competitive affair. Quick hands got plenty while slow hands got none.
Tang San was no different, swiftly joining the fray to grab his share. He devoured large chunks of meat and drank some soup. In a while, he felt warmth coursing through his body. When he started feeling full, not only was the meat gone, but there were barely any bones left either.
Tang San hadn't eaten his fill, but looking at the empty basins, there was nothing he could do.
With no more food to eat, the students dispersed.
However, Tang San called over Cheng Zicheng.
"What's up? Didn't get enough to eat? You could consider heading to the town to buy some food to keep on hand. The teachers don't care about these things. Especially when you're punished with no food, you have to find a way to get nutrition for yourself. It's definitely right to prepare more food," Cheng Zicheng said with a smile.
"Mm-hmm. I will go and buy some later," Tang San agreed with the suggestion. With his current level of cultivation strength, how could he possibly go without food? The better the nutrition, the better it was for refining his body, especially since he was now ready to let his body grow.
"Senior Sister, I wanted to ask you, when does the academy generally allow us to go into the city?" Tang San inquired.
Cheng Zicheng said, "After classes every day, it's actually possible. But there's a requirement that at least two people must go together. You can't go alone to the city, to prevent any dangers. Moreover, you must keep a low profile and avoid causing trouble, or there will be severe penalties."
"Understood," Tang San nodded.
Cheng Zicheng said, "Don't think too much about it, as a general rule, after a day of practice, you're too tired to even think about going to the city!"
Tang San, changing the subject with a smile, said, "Senior Sister, the way you were flying just now was amazing. What kind of Demon God Transformation is that? Can you tell me?"
Cheng Zicheng giggled and replied, "My Demon God Transformation is the Golden Peng Transformation. It's the bloodline inheritance of the Golden Winged Roc."
Tang San's eyes lit up, "That sounds really powerful!"
Cheng Zicheng replied somewhat helplessly, "But the intensity of my bloodline is a bit lacking, so my cultivation isn't progressing very quickly. The teacher said that if I can break through the Seventh Stage, he will try to help me undergo a Return to Ancestors to enhance my bloodline intensity. Then I'll have a better chance of continuing to improve in the future."
"What is Return to Ancestors?" Tang San asked in surprise.
Cheng Zicheng said, "I don't know the specifics. I've only heard the teacher mention it's a kind of ritual. But it requires many precious materials, and it's very difficult. Return to Ancestors isn't something we invented— it was created by the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan as a method to purify the bloodline. It's useful for us too."
Tang San silently nodded and said, "Senior Sister, in today's combat class this afternoon, are we going to spar with each other?" Searᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Cheng Zicheng looked into his eyes and quirked an eyebrow, "Why? Do you want to spar with me? Do you think I'm an easy target because I'm younger? Let me tell you, I'm quite strong. Be careful or I might beat you up."
Tang San smiled and said, "I just want to experience your Golden Peng Transformation. It sounds very impressive."
Cheng Zicheng giggled, "Then I won't go easy on you. Alright, I need to go rest, exhausted to death. I'm going to take a nap first."
Watching her receding figure, Tang San thought to himself, "Senior Sister, my wish to spar with you isn't because you are weak! It's because I am interested in your bloodline power. Even absorbing a little bit would do. As long as I can fly, that's enough! That's too important."
Indeed, after hearing Cheng Zicheng talk about her Demon God Transformation, Tang San had already decided that his fifth Demon God Transformation Imprint would be the Golden Peng Transformation.
In these two days since arriving at Redemption Academy, after gaining a preliminary understanding of the place, his first impression was that he had come to a treasure trove. His senior brothers and sisters, they were all treasure boys and treasure girls!
Each of them possessed extraordinary and rare Demon God Transformation bloodlines. This meant that he could completely learn these powerful Demon God Transformation abilities from them! How to improve further in the future is another matter, but for now, he could possess them. Moreover, as the senior brothers and sisters' cultivation bases would improve, their bloodline powers would naturally become stronger. As long as he devoured some in a limited manner, the Bloodline Brands he learned would naturally grow stronger. This was much easier than hunting the Bloodline of the Monster Clan.
Like Du Bai's Heavenly Fox Eye and Cheng Zicheng's Golden Peng Transformation, these were extremely valuable abilities that would be of great help to him.
What abilities other senior brothers and sisters might possess, he would have to determine through observation. These could serve as future targets. If he only devoured a little bit of their bloodline power, they could recover in a relatively short time. If he is careful, they might not even notice.
The four imprints Tang San currently possessed included the Wind Wolf Transformation Imprint, Flash Leopard Transformation Imprint, Rhino Change Imprint, and the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye Imprint, which was a fusion of the White-headed Falcon Demon and Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast.
Fundamentally speaking, these imprints weren't very strong since none were the Bloodline Brands of the powerful races within the Monster Clan. If Tang San wanted to become stronger in this world, apart from enhancing the Mysterious Heaven Method, he needed the abilities these Bloodline Brands could provide. Such was the constraint imposed by this world.
Only if he managed to break through to the God Rank in the future would there be a possibility to contend against this plane and regain some of his past life abilities.
