Chapter 79: Chapter 78: Senior Sister Gives Way

Everything changed so rapidly, so fast that no one's exclamations had time to escape their lips before them was a swath of blue-green.Cheng Zicheng tried to break free from Tang San's grip, but suddenly her body felt weak and she couldn't escape at first. In the blink of an eye, the wind blades arrived. The sky filled with blue light sparked a sudden sense of panic in her heart. How could this be... It was the only thought that could arise in her mind at that moment.

But in the next instant, those streaks of blue light suddenly came to a halt in front of her, stopping about a meter away from her body. At this time, Guan Longjiang and Mu Enqing had already arrived at their side, one to the left and one to the right. However, before they could take action, the wind blades had already paused, then dissipated into a gentle breeze and vanished quietly.

Tang San let go of Cheng Zicheng's shoulders and stepped back a few paces.

Cheng Zicheng's body wobbled slightly as she whirled around.

What she saw was Tang San's faint smile.

"Senior Sister, thank you for letting me win."

Cheng Zicheng's eyes reddened in an instant; she had lost, just like that, without even a fight, and to Tang San who had just entered the academy and was much younger than her. The shame and grievance in her heart nearly exploded in an instant.

"You, you..." She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She had lost, after all!

Mu Enqing patted Cheng Zicheng on the shoulder, "Victory and defeat are common in war. If you lose, you must find the reason from within, which is also the purpose of our combat class."

Guan Longjiang, however, looked at Tang San, "You've reached the Fifth Stage?"

Tang San had no intention of hiding his cultivation level. Undoubtedly, whether at the Redemption Academy or within the Redemption Organization, the stronger one's capabilities, the higher the authority and resources naturally obtained. Besides, his newly-acknowledged mentor was aware of his Fifth Stage level, so there was no need to conceal it.

"I've just made a breakthrough," Tang San nodded in confirmation.

Being at the Fourth Stage at nine years old was already astonishing, yet now he had reached the Fifth Stage? For a while, the students present looked at Tang San with a somewhat strange gaze. Among the sixteen students, not counting Tang San, the highest cultivation was just at the Sixth Stage, barely touching the threshold, with most around the Fourth Stage, similar to Cheng Zicheng. There were only three at the Fifth Stage.

This nine-year-old child had already attained the cultivation level of the Fifth Stage? How could they not be shocked?

Cheng Zicheng was also stunned, the Fifth Stage? Yes! He was able to wield wind blades with such force; indeed, it did not seem something a Fourth Stage could achieve. He had already reached the Fifth Stage?

Guan Longjiang smiled, "No wonder, no wonder the mayor would take you as a disciple. Not bad at all. Take a rest, and we'll have another bout of combat later."

Tang San was in a good mood at that time. As he grabbed Cheng Zicheng's shoulders, he had silently absorbed a bit of her bloodline power, and a new Demon God Transformation Bloodline Seal had already appeared in his body. Because the absorbed bloodline power was little, it just formed a seal around the Third Stage. But that was enough! He could now save the fifth seal for himself.

Of course, it wasn't time to try what effect the Golden Peng Transformation would have on himself. But it should allow him to fly. This was different from the White-headed Falcon Demon's Hawk Eye. The Golden Winged Roc's greatest ability was in flying, soaring up ninety thousand miles with the wind in a single day. Amongst flying Monsters, it was absolutely one of the best.

"Alright," Tang San did not say that he actually did not need to rest; there was no need to be so arrogant. He simply agreed and then nodded apologetically to Cheng Zicheng before returning to Du Bai's side.

Cheng Zicheng followed him, puffing up with anger, and stood beside him, whispering, "Are you really at the Fifth Stage? How can you cultivate so quickly?"

Tang San spread his hands, "I've just been cultivating normally!"

But Du Bai had already grabbed him, "Fifth Stage, you've actually reached the Fifth Stage. I'm so jealous, when will I ever reach the Fifth Stage?" As the student with the lowest cultivation level in the entire academy, when Tang San had arrived, Du Bai had thought he might not be at the bottom anymore. But now, he realized just how vast the gap between them was.

Seizing the opportunity while he grabbed his own arm, Tang San quietly activated the Mysterious Heaven Method, drawing a trace of bloodline power from Du Bai's body. Du Bai, being weaker and injured, didn't feel the slightest bit as Tang San pulled only an imperceptible amount of bloodline power, which formed a Bloodline Brand in Tang San's body roughly of the First Stage, related to the Heavenly Fox Eye.

He planned to make the Golden Peng Transformation truly his own ability, but he hoped even more to integrate the Heavenly Fox Eye with his Spirit Rhinoceros Eye to expedite the evolution of the latter.

With the growth of his cultivation base, the benefits of the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye were obvious. Firstly, in terms of observation, it significantly enhanced Tang San's vision, and when combined with the Purple Demon Eyes, the effect was excellent. Secondly, it concerned the observation and control of elements, acting like a magnifier for Spiritual Power and bringing very clear changes to his control of elements. That's why he could better utilize the techniques from "Hidden Weapons Hundred Solutions".

Moreover, the Spirit Rhinoceros Eye could to some extent observe the opponent's weaknesses. It was also very useful in combat.

The function of the Heavenly Fox Eye was completely different; it was one of the most top-notch capabilities among the Monsters, but not for combat. One could imagine how powerful its effect must be. Du Bai might be the only human possessing the Heavenly Fox Eye, which was also the biggest secret of the Redemption Academy. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Fox Clan found out, they would surely take him away. Just how effective such an ability, revered immensely by the Monster race, could be was something Tang San needed to explore to understand.

Mu Enqing said, "Next match, Gu Li, Zhang Zebin, you're up."

Two teenagers, both around thirteen or fourteen years old, stepped forward. They each bowed to the teachers and then stood opposite each other.

The next match was about to begin, and only then did Du Bai release Tang San, but the envy in his eyes was still evident.

Tang San asked in a low voice, "What's the usual procedure for practical combat lessons?"

Du Bai replied, "Under normal circumstances, everyone has to fight once. The opponent in each practical combat lesson will vary. After all the fighting is over, the teachers will provide comments, highlight our strengths and problems during the battle, and then guide us on how to improve and enhance."

"Stop saying 'us, our'. You're not included," said Cheng Zicheng with annoyance.

Du Bai's mouth twitched slightly, "Can't you just let it go, being like this will leave you friendless."

Cheng Zicheng huffed, "I don't make friends with Third-Stage losers."

Tang San looked from Du Bai to Cheng Zicheng and couldn't help but smile. Cheng Zicheng was obviously venting her frustration from the recent defeat on Du Bai!

"What are you looking at? Wait till I reach the Fifth Stage, I'll definitely beat you," Cheng Zicheng glared at Tang San and puffed up with anger, clearly still not satisfied with the outcome of the fight she just had.

"Mm, Senior Sister, keep it up," Tang San encouraged.

The two teenagers in the arena had already taken their stances.

"Begin!"

The second practical combat match began with the command from Mu Enqing. The teenager named Gu Li was noticeably thinner and didn't seem much taller than Tang San. But at that moment, his body began to change.

A thick layer of scale armor, similar to keratin, emerged from under his skin, and even his head began to transform, while a long tail emerged from his back. This transformation was quite significant.

Generally speaking, the Demon God Transformation induced certain physical changes in humans, but only to a limited extent. The greater the change, the closer the bloodline was to that of a Monster.

After the transformation, Gu Li had changed so much that it was hard to recognize him as human.
