```Without comparison, there is no harm. The students of the Redemption Academy learn combat from his instruction. Tang San, who just arrived and is considered an outsider, has shone brightly in two practical combat classes, nearly suppressing all other students with his own power alone. Even Wu Bingji, who is regarded as the senior-most student, couldn't defeat him. Gu Li, with his extraordinary talent, even lost to him. This caused the teacher responsible for the practical combat classes to start questioning his own abilities. Under such circumstances, Tang San's suggestions for the practical combat class naturally struck a chord.
After dinner, Tang San returned to his room to cultivate alone.
Today's cultivation was also very important for him.
Through continuous understanding of the Devouring bloodline imprint, Tang San discovered that the power of those imprints he had devoured but not solidified would gradually dissipate. The time that different bloodline levels can remain in his body varies.
That is to say, apart from the bloodline imprints that already had a designated place, no matter how many types of imprints he absorbed, they would gradually fade away until they completely disappeared.
The heavy armor technique, be gone!
The allure of the Time Variation Seal was simply too great for him, and Tang San had a premonition that its arrival would give him a different comprehension of this world.
The level of the heavy armor technique was not very high to begin with, and its rank was low. Abandoning it didn't pain him at all, and it would not affect his combat abilities. The only downside would be a slight weakening of his defense. But with the Time Variation Seal in his possession, its utility would be far greater than what Gu Li had shown. Tang San's Spiritual Power was undoubtedly much stronger than Gu Li's. Although Time could not be described in terms of elements, Tang San still remembered very clearly the characteristics of the Time attribute from his previous life. To control Time, a powerful spiritual power is indispensable. The brand he absorbed from Gu Li could at most grant him a Third Stage Time Variation Seal, but with his powerful spiritual power, the functions he could perform and the methods he could employ would definitely surpass those of Gu Li.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he focused inwardly, observing the five imprints that already existed within him.
Among the current five imprints, the Wind Wolf Transformation brand was still the most radiant. Although it was only a level 4 Monster bloodline, after absorbing the bloodline power of Feng Xiong, the heir of the King of the Wind Wolves and the Lord of Wind Wolf Town, it had already reached the peak of Fifth Stage, with no room for further improvement. He would have to wait until his Mysterious Heaven Method cultivation reached level 6 and then devour a Sixth Stage Wind Wolf before there is any possibility of further advancement.
Aside from that, the remaining four imprints were a Fourth Stage Flash Leopard Seal, a Third Stage Heavy Armor Technique, a Fourth Stage Spirit Rhinoceros Eye, and a Golden Peng Transformation that was only at Second Stage.
Each of the five abilities had its strengths, but the levels of the other four were also somewhat low, mainly because there was no chance for reinforcement.
Tang San now had a thought that if the Demon God Transformations he branded were from the talented students around him at the Redemption Academy, then the future evolution of those brands would not be an issue. As long as the strength of his classmates improved, he could progress along with them. This would be easier than wandering around and devouring and absorbing Monsters.
Take Cheng Zicheng for example, whose Golden Peng Transformation was at level 4. Although Tang San had only absorbed up to level 2, through regular contact, he would eventually reach level 4. If Cheng Zicheng managed to cultivate to level 5, then Tang San could naturally reach level 5 as well.
Thus, helping Cheng Zicheng with his cultivation was equivalent to helping himself.
Similarly, with element control, Wu Bingji's Ice Spirit Transformation was already at a Sixth Stage. If Tang San were to devour his bloodline brand, he would at least be able to gradually advance to the peak of Fifth Stage himself; and once the Mysterious Heaven Method broke through, he could reach level 6. He might even be able to use Wu Bingji's Sixth Stage bloodline power to help advance his own Mysterious Heaven Method. It was only that he had no space left for it now.

Among the current five abilities, the Wind Wolf Transformation, being his manifested ability, could not be replaced for the time being. It had to continue to be used.
What Tang San valued most about the Flash Leopard Transformation was Leopard Flash, an ability similar to teleporting. Despite the Flash Leopard tribe's bloodline level not being very high, being only at the fourth level like the Wind Wolf, the Leopard Flash ability was quite useful. It was only because the Flash Leopard's other abilities were not strong enough that it seemed less powerful.
The Flash Spirit of the seventh stage, who had shown considerable strength back in Wind Wolf Town, made Tang San reluctant to give up Leopard Flash. At least not until a better option came along, he wasn't quite ready to let it go. In the future, he planned to see if Leopard Flash could be merged with some other Demon God Transformation to produce a beneficial evolution.
The Heavy Armor Technique was the least used by him, so it was also the one he wanted to replace this time. Although the defense offered by the Heavy Armor Technique wasn't bad, it was unfortunate that it was only at the third stage. Given Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Method and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he didn't have very high requirements in terms of defense. Originally, Tang San had planned to absorb some defensive bloodline powers from other Demon Beasts to strengthen it through fusion. However, for the sake of the Time Variation Seal, it was absolutely worth discarding now.
There was no need to mention Spirit Rhinoceros Eyesight, an ability with tremendous potential for growth in the future. Tang San decided to get some Heavenly Fox Bloodline power from Du Bai later, even if it was just at level one, and try to integrate it. If it failed, he would have to find a way to re-form the Spirit Rhinoceros Eyesight in the future. If it failed, he could consider tapping into Wu Bingji's bloodline seal to prepare for breaking through to the Mysterious Heaven Skill's sixth level in the future.
There was nothing much to say about the Jinpeng Transformation; the ability to fly was just too important. He planned to gradually absorb bloodline power from Cheng Zicheng to elevate his own Jinpeng Transformation to level four.
The arrangement for the five bloodline brands was perfectly set, and Tang San's train of thought became even clearer. He aimed not just to improve himself but also to find ways to help his companions who had already absorbed bloodline powers.
Wu Bingji had a high perception, and under his guidance, there was a noticeable improvement in her understanding of ice element control. Breaking through to the seventh stage in the future should not be a problem. Therefore, the same applied to the others; he would help them wherever he could. Although Tang San was reborn, being a First-Generation God King, his insights were extremely keen, naturally much stronger than the teachers at Redemption Academy in guiding these students.
Under the effect of Tang San's Spiritual Power, the Heavy Armor Technique slowly peeled away. Then, Tang San carefully led over the white light sphere that represented the Time Variation Seal, branding it onto the third position of his Mysterious Heaven Skill.
The absorption today had been a bit intense, as the opportunity arose from the intensified bloodline fluctuations of Gu Li after he used the Time Variation ability thrice in succession. Thus, Tang San absorbed it to around the strength of the third stage. Although it was only the beginning of the third stage, it was still quite powerful.
The Time Variation slowly integrated, and the white mark steadily stabilized.
Suddenly, there was a loud "boom" as if something in Tang San's mind exploded. Everything around seemed to slow down suddenly at that moment.
Even the bloodline fluctuations and the operation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill inside his body slowed down.
In the deepest part of Tang San's Sea of Spirit, a point of golden light, as tiny as a needle tip, began to faintly emerge. All the slowing down seemed to fluctuate, speeding up at one moment and slowing down again the next, causing Tang San's Spiritual Power to oscillate unstably.
A myriad of profound insights continuously surfaced in his mind. Time, this was the essence of Time.
Had it been anyone else experiencing such changes, they might run the risk of a mental breakdown. But Tang San was not afraid. In his previous life as the God King, he had a unique understanding of the mysteries of time. His son and grandson in his previous life possessed potent time-related abilities. Now, as he was advancing himself, he silently endured the ravaging of time, feeling a sense of purification throughout his body and spirit under the dual cleansing.
