Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 231: The Two-Tailed Celestial Fox

Both Zhang Haoxuan and Si Ru, being nearby, could clearly sense the changes in his body and couldn't help but admire them internally. This transformation was incredibly powerful. Despite their student just barely reaching the fifth order, his presence made these two formidable beings feel a sense of vastness and ethereality.

This was the power of the Celestial Fox bloodline, ranked among the top three formidable existences of the entire Daemon Continent!

Tang San wasn't idle either; he sat down cross-legged, silently feeling the Celestial Fox Transformation energy dissipating into the air from Du Bai, drawing it into his body, quietly elevating the order of his own Celestial Fox Transformation. After all, that did nothing to affect Du Bai's breakthrough, and letting this dispersing energy go to waste would be a shame.

Two hours later, Zhang Haoxuan left Du Bai's side as time ticked by. Du Bai's condition had stabilized now, and a full breakthrough was only a matter of time.

Another two hours passed, and Si Ru also ended his vigil. Du Bai's sea of consciousness had turned into a completely white ocean. The bloodline and the spiritual power within the sea of consciousness fully communicated, bridging their respective worlds. The two began to transform and merge, initiating the process of evolution.

Si Ru approached Zhang Haoxuan and whispered, "It’s going to be a successful breakthrough, isn’t it? A fifth-order Celestial Fox Transformation! That's incredible."

Zhang Haoxuan, with a smile, responded, "Indeed, indeed. We have gained yet more hope."

Si Ru said, "Once he breaks through, we need to report this, right?"

Zhang Haoxuan nodded and replied, "Of course. But let's wait a bit. You go rest and come back later to take over. We’ll go in turns."

Si Ru glanced at Tang San, who was sitting not far away and seemed to have entered a meditative state, sitting there motionless. "Aren't we going to ask him to leave?"

"Let him stay here," Zhang Haoxuan said without hesitation.

A gleam flashed in Si Ru's eyes. "Old Zhang, have you noticed? Since this youngster, Tang San, arrived, many changes have occurred in our academy, almost all related to him. Just now, if it weren't for his reminder, I would have made a mistake out of sheer concern for Du Bai. I keep feeling there's something off about this kid."

Zhang Haoxuan glared at him. "Are you jealous because I have such a good disciple? Don't even think about it; I won't let you have him."

"Who cares... I'm off," Si Ru said irritably before leaving the room.

As he stepped outside and breathed in the fresh air, a hint of doubt flashed in Si Ru's eyes. Then he silently shook his head. Perhaps all of this was arranged by the organization, and if Tang San had any secrets, Zhang Haoxuan knew them but simply chose not to tell them.

Once more, without his knowledge, Old Zhang was taking the blame.

Du Bai's breakthrough lasted three full days and nights, with Zhang Haoxuan and Si Ru taking turns guarding him. Meanwhile, Tang San continued cultivating in the room, silently absorbing the bloodline aura radiating from him.

By the morning of the fourth day, Du Bai was completely engulfed in white light, which formed a giant cocoon around his body. Above him, the second tail of the white fox had fully grown, and was now gently swaying alongside the first.

Suddenly, he exhaled deeply, and the light around the cocoon suddenly contracted.

Tang San, who was meditating, almost instantly opened his eyes and looked toward the cocoon. He could feel Du Bai's dispersed energy suddenly being drawn back inside.

The figure inside the cocoon became clear as well.

Du Bai had changed; his hair sparkled with a faint silver glimmer, his figure was slimmer, and his appearance more refined and handsome, giving the impression of a youth transitioning into adulthood.

His eyes were incredibly clear and transparent, with a hint of silver light flickering within, adding an ethereal quality to his entire being.

A hint of confusion flowed from his eyes, and instinctively, his gaze turned toward Tang San, who was not far away.

The moment he saw Tang San, his first feeling was one of closeness, a kinship that stemmed from deep within their bloodlines, as if no other presence in the world could replace this intimacy. It was as if Tang San was his true family, the most trustworthy brother he could have.

This was caused during the bloodline evolution process. Though neither of them was aware, the one assisting in the breakthrough of a Celestial Fox would become the most important person in their life, with a bond formed between their bloodlines during the breakthrough. They were connected by fate itself.

Tang San could also feel his change, and gradually, he felt a closer bond with Du Bai, as if his "senior brother" could be wholly trusted.

The Demonic God Transformation is truly miraculous! The more powerful the transformation, the more miraculous it is. None of the bloodlines capable of giving birth to a Demon Emperor are simple. This is only the fifth-order Celestial Fox Transformation, yet it feels as if it surpasses the Peacock Transformation in terms of its miraculous nature. Perhaps Mei Gongzi has not fully mastered the essence of the Peacock Transformation? Or maybe there might be some essence of it that I am unaware of...

"Did it happen? Am I at the fifth order now?" Du Bai pointed at his nose, his face filled with surprise and joy.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Tang San's mouth as he gently nodded, "Congratulations, brother Du Bai."

"It was you who helped me, right?"

Tang San shook his head. "No, it was Master and Teacher Si Ru. They’ve been guarding you all this time, they were the ones who helped you remain stable and break through."

"Is that so? But I don't know why, I just feel like you did it. This breakthrough was different, it’s as if the whole world has changed."

Tang San smiled and said, "Things really have changed, so you should experience the changes in the world as best as you can."

Du Bai stood up, and so did Tang San. The smile on Du Bai's face instantly became more intense, "I've broken through, aha, I've broken through, reached the fifth order, it's fantastic. Everything is different now!"

Tang San said, "Don't rush to be happy. You need to make sure you know what happened with the Celestial Fox Transformation now that you reached the fifth order. See what’s improved and enhanced, and get to know your new abilities. I also feel that this breakthrough is extraordinary and different from the other times you advanced. Maybe if you study it carefully, you’ll find a solution for reaching even higher levels."

"Uh-huh, I understand. It’s just that I'm starving; I just want to eat something now; I feel like I could eat a whole cow."

Now that the danger had passed, it was clear that Du Bai's playful nature had returned.

Zhang Haoxuan, who had been watching, snorted. "Fine, fine, let's go eat something. Also, don't talk about the breakthrough; keep it a secret for now."

Tang San looked at Du Bai's physical changes and said wryly, "Master, it might not be easy for him to keep this a secret!"

Du Bai's playful personality was one thing, but the changes in his appearance would be hard to conceal.

Through Du Bai's transformation, Tang San suddenly realized that the strength of the Demonic God Transformation's bloodline could change one's appearance to some extent. The more powerful the bloodline, the more significant the change. This appeared to be related to stronger demons becoming more human-like.

Reflecting on Mei Gongzi, Tang San suddenly felt rather strange. ]

Upon meeting Mei Gongzi, his initial impression was that she had changed from his previous life, although not on a quintessential level. The essence was the same, but there were differences in appearance and temperament. Yet recently, she seemed to become more and more like the person she used to be. Was this related to her breaking through the seventh order? And if so, did that mean that if she were to break through to the god level in the future, she would revert to exactly how she was in the previous life?

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but warm up. He remembered the changes he had gone through during the second awakening of his martial soul in his previous life. By the same logic, if he re-cultivated to godhood, he might revert to his original appearance. Indeed, he felt that he had been more handsome in his past life.
