Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

While tending to the greenery, he naturally employed the Green Jade Vine to absorb some of the life essence unique to the plant world, nurturing his own Green Jade Vine bloodline imprint. Even with the Discerning Eye of Heaven, he hadn't been as focused as this.

Of course, this was also because other bloodline imprints couldn't be nurtured by the energy in the air. Due to its lower order, only the Green Jade Vine made Tang San distinctly feel the imprint becoming more active as he slowly absorbed this life energy into it.

This wasn't an enhancement of his bloodline power but purely an enhancement of the life energy of the bloodline imprint. Tang San didn't know what effects this improvement would bring, but he wanted to try.

With no nymph students here, it wasn't easy for him to further enhance the order of the Green Jade Vine, but he needed to understand more about the plants of this world. Through the Green Jade Vine's interaction with these common plants, he could gain some insights, just like how he had some new realizations after consuming the Dragon Tendon Fruit earlier.

As evening approached, Tang San's day of work ended. After bidding farewell to Old Mao, he headed back to the academy town.

Leaving his residence, he walked toward the back gate, passing by the cultivation area of Kali Academy.

Tang San deliberately slowed his pace, occasionally glancing around. With his Discerning Eye of Heaven combined with the Purple Demon Eyes, he could see everything within his line of sight in incredible detail, and he clearly memorized these locations.

He wanted to see Mei Gongzi; unfortunately, it seemed that his luck wasn't good today, and he didn't see any traces of her.

As Tang San walked to the back gate, slightly disappointed, an idea suddenly struck him.

The Celestial Fox Vision could sense fate, and upon reaching the fourth order, it seemed that Du Bai could even somewhat control it. So, if he could also elevate his own Celestial Fox Vision to the fourth order and control his fate to some extent, would his luck improve, allowing him to meet Mei Gongzi as he wished?

With this thought, Tang San's eyes suddenly lit up.

No wonder the Celestial Fox Vision was considered a top-tier bloodline! Its applications were indeed extensive.

If the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor knew someone was planning to use its Celestial Fox Vision to chase a girl, it would probably be fuming with anger.

Considering this possibility, Tang San decided it was time to get closer to Du Bai.

He returned to the Redemption Academy just in time for dinner. His work at Kali Academy wasn't a secret, though the teachers hadn't disclosed the nature of it to the other students, so nobody was surprised to see him appear.

Having now spent some time at the academy, especially after the training trip, Tang San had now integrated well into the group, particularly with a few people he was familiar with.

Tang San sat down next to Du Bai, who was eating his meal, and told him, "Come to my room later."

"Okay." Du Bai nodded, turning to look at Tang San with an inquiring gaze, his eyes sparkling brightly.

As his spiritual power increased, he found his affinity toward Tang San growing stronger. With his understanding of the Celestial Fox Vision, he naturally realized that fate was guiding him to spend more time with Tang San, and that would somehow be incredibly beneficial for him.

He had felt this way since childhood; those he felt close to usually ended up helping him significantly. If he disliked someone, it usually meant that person was problematic in some way, at least not good for him, or perhaps not a good person at all.

Wu Bingji was the first to finish dinner. Recently, he’d been feeling that there was never enough time as he immersed himself daily in his Ice Needle Acceleration training. Just mastering Ice Needle Acceleration was challenging, let alone the Cluster Soul Chasing Ball, which was still a faraway goal.

The main reason was his lack of spiritual power. He had recently spent a fortune on a rare treasure that boosted spiritual power. It had nearly drained the entire fortune of this frugal senior brother, causing him genuine distress. Just the day before, he had told Tang San that once he mastered the second level of Ice Needle Acceleration, he planned to go out for training again, as he was running low on funds!

Not only Wu Bingji had this thought, but almost all members of Tang San's team felt the same. This was because their gains from the first time were simply too significant.

With the gains from that time, they had all purchased some items to enhance their strength, creating a virtuous cycle that made increasing their power easier and faster. With this feeling of accelerated improvement, who would want to train in a routine and orderly manner?

Gu Li's experience was particularly profound; just yesterday, he had defeated Zhang Zebin for the first time using the Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer, truly flaunting his prowess. With the strengthened control of his fifth-order Chrono Croc Transformation, coupled with the continuous attacks of his tail hammer, Gu Li's combat power was now among the top in the academy.

Du Bai followed Tang San back to his room. "What's up? Is there something good happening?" he asked cheerfully.

Tang San chuckled, "What more good things do you want? I just wanted to ask how your spiritual power has been improving recently. How long until you can completely liquefy your spiritual power?"

Du Bai rolled his eyes. "Hey, it’s not that easy! Even Teacher Guan and the two Mu teachers haven't managed to do it yet, and I'm only at the fourth order! Well, in any case, I can feel that when I practice the Purple Demon Eyes you taught me, my spiritual power becomes more concentrated and easier to turn into a liquid. It's just a pity that the time for the morning purple qi is too damn short every day."

"Don't rush it. The practice of the Purple Demon Eyes requires constant accumulation and nurturing. Your eyes wouldn't be able to take too much at once. It's best if you can keep improving your spiritual power, but I have another training method. Wanna try it?"

Du Bai paused. "What method?"

"Exhaustion. Use up your spiritual power as much as possible. After you do that, when it recovers, it'll improve to some extent. This should work better than regular cultivation. It should work for both you and Gu Li."

"Ah? How should I do that?" Du Bai asked, somewhat distressed. "It's easy for brother Gu to deplete his power if he just keeps using Time Freeze. But my Celestial Fox Vision is a passive ability. Even if I try to influence luck, it can only speed up the drain rate a little. I can't use it all in one shot like last time, so I guess I need a really strong kick to make me spend all that energy."

Tang San nodded. "Mmm, I think I understand. That means, with strong triggers, your Celestial Fox Vision becomes stronger. An example would be maxing out on luck. But draining energy like this would make you weak, like how you fainted last time, right?"

"Pretty much. The fainting was from the backlash of draining my energy. Last time was too harsh; I recovered faster with the breakthrough to the fourth order. Otherwise, it would have taken even longer."

Tang San nodded. "Then we could try that. For example, if you were in a near-death state, would that count as a trigger?"

Du Bai was stunned. “Near-death? How should I know?"

A glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, and suddenly, Du Bai felt a sharp pain in his eyes.
