Chapter 230: Chapter 229: Du Bai to Advance?

Su Qin said, "Then observe a bit longer. You should take advantage of the fact that things haven't escalated and leave quickly, head back to the Redemption Academy. That's the safest place. If that Asura contacts you again, tell me. If there's a chance, try to communicate with him.""Okay."

Pretty Girl didn't dare to delay, the proximity to the Ancestral House of the Wind Wolf clan meant the sooner she left, the less likely she would be exposed.

Asura silently disappeared into the Jiali Mountain Range; he didn't head straight back to the Redemption Academy because he truly sensed someone tracking him. He didn't know who it was, but he could feel that the person had followed Pretty Girl. It was likely someone from Pretty Girl's side, probably also from the Redemption Organization.

He allowed a trace of his divine consciousness to leak, then sped up his departure. The presence of the other quickly vanished and didn't continue the pursuit.

Still, to be cautious, he chose to enter the Jiali Mountain Range and also take the opportunity to notify his mentor, Mayor Zhang. One reason was to discuss with the teacher how to respond if Pretty Girl inquired about his identity, and the other was to ask Mayor Zhang to return to the Redemption Academy to help Mu Yunyu with her treatment.

Every so often, Asura would stop to sense for any followers. With his current Ninth Stage spiritual power, a hint of divine consciousness, and the Spirit Rhinoceros Heavenly Eye's premonition of danger, even a God level strong would find it difficult to track him without being detected.

After nearly ten confirmations of no followers, he arrived at the pond where he had planted the Golden Wood.

The Origin Energy seemed to have grown richer, the surface of the Golden Wood hadn't changed much, given the short amount of time. Tang San, reverting to his own appearance, awakened Mayor Zhang from his meditation.

"Why have you come in the middle of the night?" Zhang Haoxuan looked at him with confusion.

Tang San didn't hide anything from him, recounting his act as Asura, secretly helping Pretty Girl assassinate a Monster Clan Powerhouse.

"Reckless, who allowed you to get involved?" Zhang Haoxuan exclaimed angrily after hearing his story.

"I was worried she'd leave a trail that could be discovered," said Tang San.

Zhang Haoxuan furrowed his brows deeply. "Whether it's you or her, for the organization, for all of humanity, you are the hope for the future. She has her mission, and you have yours, do you understand? Staying alive is the most important thing for you. What if you were exposed? What if you encountered a God level strong?"

Tang San replied, "Today, I sensed someone secretly protecting Pretty Girl, and they followed me for a while. It seems to be at the divine-ranked level. But then they stopped following me. Could it be another Green-grade redemption from our side in Jiali City?"

Zhang Haoxuan gave him a deep look, "You are too clever. But remember, do not outsmart yourself. The moment you are most likely to fail is when you feel most secure."

Tang San responded with a wry smile, "I understand. Teacher, if that Green-grade redemption asks about me, I will have to trouble you to cover for me." Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Zhang Haoxuan was silent.

After a long moment, he said, "You're still young! You couldn't help but reveal your ability. We need to cover up, and we need to cover it up well. It's also my fault, you usually act too maturely, I didn't expect you would reveal your abilities in front of Pretty Girl. What if she reports your actions to the organization? If the organization comes to me for verification, what then? Have you thought about that?"

Tang San earnestly said, "I believe Pretty Girl is completely trustworthy. I can also guess that her goal should be the position of Jiali City Lord. Everything she is doing now is probably aimed at this most important mission. I just wanted to help her."

Zhang Haoxuan fell into silence once again.

This time it was for an even longer duration.

Tang San didn't disturb him, knowing he couldn't rely on himself for everything and needed assistance. His teammates from the Redemption Academy were still too young and lacking in ability. The help of Mayor Zhang was particularly important for him at this stage.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. I will go and explain it to the Green-grade redemption. But, you must promise me, no matter what, you must protect yourself well. In my eyes, your importance is even higher than that of Pretty Girl, understand?" Zhang Haoxuan said gravely.

Tang San naturally understood his meaning, but in his heart, Pretty Girl was the most important!

"The recent two attack incidents should draw the attention of Jiali City, and I will also persuade them to refrain from any further actions for the time being. You stay put and remain in the academy. Improving your cultivation is the most important thing for you right now."

"Okay."

Tang San then told Zhang Haoxuan about Mu Yunyu's situation. Zhang Haoxuan woke up Red One from meditation and told her that he was going to return with Tang San, instructing them to continue guarding the place. Then, the two set off for the Redemption Academy overnight.

Everything seemed to be back on track.

Redemption Academy was like an idyllic haven. Tang San only occasionally overheard academy students discussing the assassination of the King of the Wind Wolves.

Pretty Girl also returned and resumed her regular classes. As Sweeper Li Tang, he found himself encountering Pretty Girl more frequently in the following days.

How Zhang Haoxuan explained the situation to another Blue Level member of the Redemption Organization was something Tang San didn't know. But everything seemed to have settled down with that.

Until a week later.

Tang San, who was sweeping in the front plaza of the main teaching building, suddenly saw Elder Mao approaching him in a hurry. From afar, Elder Mao gestured towards him.

Tang San hurried over, "Elder Mao, what's the matter? Don't panic."

"Hurry, go back to the town. The mayor sent a message saying that there is an urgent matter they need to discuss with you," Elder Mao said, slightly out of breath.

An urgent matter? A sense of tightness gripped Tang San's heart. Without hesitating, he bid farewell to Elder Mao, left Jiali Academy, and headed straight for the academy's town.

Had something happened? Had Redemption Academy been discovered by the officials of Jiali City?

As soon as he entered the academy town, he saw Zhang Haoxuan waiting anxiously. And with one sentence from him, Tang San's mood immediately stabilized.

"Come with me quickly, Brother Du Bai is about to make a breakthrough. But there seems to be a problem."

Brother Du Bai is about to advance to the Fifth Stage of the Heavenly Fox Eye?

Without asking any further questions, Tang San immediately followed Zhang Haoxuan back to Redemption Academy.

As they approached the academy, Tang San clearly felt a slight change in the spiritual power at the center of his forehead, as if something was pulling at him.

When they arrived at Du Bai's room, Tang San was startled by the scene before him.

Du Bai was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his body shaking incessantly, his sweat pouring out like starch, and his clothes completely soaked. The spiritual fluctuation was extremely violent and unstable.

Several teachers were present around him. Si Ru was sitting behind him, right hand pressed against his back, slowly infusing his bloodline power into Du Bai.

Spiritual Power should not be interfered with carelessly; otherwise, it could lead to serious problems, which was why Si Ru could only stabilize the fluctuations of Du Bai's bloodline.

Du Bai's eyes were open, with white light continuously flowing out, the extremely unstable fluctuation seeming to draw in the surrounding luck. The Origin Energy around the room was stirred violently, yet it did not enter his body.

Mu Enqing and Mu Yunyu, brother and sister, were both very tense. Guan Longjiang was pacing back and forth. But facing such a situation with Du Bai, they all felt helpless and unsure of what to do.

Seeing that the mayor had brought Tang San, Guan Longjiang hurried forward and whispered to Zhang Haoxuan, "It's not looking good. The Spiritual Power is very unstable. The kid was too hasty, shouldn't have consumed the Purple Sun Fruit so quickly. It feels like he's hit a bottleneck, and his spiritual power is too strong, trying to forcefully break through. But the surge of bloodline power and the Spiritual Power seem to have resonated, and now it seems like he can't handle it anymore. What should we do?"
