Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 67: Du Bai

The last teacher introduced was an elderly man, whom Guan Longjiang chose to introduce last, indicating a higher status. "Teacher Si Ru is responsible for teaching things about the Demonic God Transformation. I'm in charge of social practice. The mayor oversees the entire academy."

Tang San greeted each of the teachers in turn. Among them, the one who left the deepest impression on him was the unassuming elderly man.

Si Ru appeared to be in his fifties or sixties, slightly hunched, not very tall, with graying hair and an ordinary face, always wearing a gentle smile. He seemed amiable and approachable. When Guan Longjiang introduced him, almost all the students smiled, clearly having a very good impression of this teacher.

However, this was not what made him special. What made him stand out to Tang San was the fact that among these teachers, only this one stirred Tang San's divine consciousness. Tang San understood very well what it meant for his divine consciousness to be affected.

If truly unleashed, this remnant of his divine consciousness could allow him to burst forth with immense power in an instant. Tang San himself did not know how strong it could be, as he had obviously never given up his cultivation as a God King in order to be reborn. But the stirring of his divine consciousness indicated something very clear to him. Even if he used that trace of divine consciousness, he might be unable to contend with this individual.

Yes, that was what he felt. Even when facing the mayor, who possessed ninth-order cultivation, he did not have this feeling. This meant that Si Ru was probably even stronger than the mayor.

A god-level master? Could he be a powerhouse who has already reached the god level?

Tang San was shocked, but his expression did not betray his inner bewilderment.

Guan Longjiang smiled and said, "Tang San, why don't you introduce yourself to everyone?"

Tang San replied, "I am Tang San. My Demonic God Transformation is the Wind Wolf Transformation, and my ability is the Wind Blade. I am at the fourth order."

Several exclamations arose among the students when he mentioned being at the fourth order. After all, he looked younger than all the other students present, so how was it that his cultivation was so high? After all, the Wind Wolf Transformation was not considered a powerful Demonic God Transformation!

Guan Longjiang, obviously aware of his situation, nodded and said, "I won't introduce all of you right now; you can talk to each other later. Tang San, since you're new today, take a day to rest, and you'll officially join the classes tomorrow."

"Du Bai," Guan Longjiang called out, and immediately, a slim teenager ran over. "Here!"

Guan Longjiang said to the quirky-looking teenager and said, "You take Tang San and help him settle down. Give him a brief introduction to the academy. Let him stay in the third room in the east."

"He gets his own room? The third east room is still unoccupied," the teenager known as Du Bai said, clearly envious.

"Less talking," Guan Longjiang scolded.

Du Bai stuck out his tongue, "Alright, leave it to me. Tang San, let's go. I'll take you to the dormitory."

"Thank you," Tang San replied, following Du Bai to one side of the courtyard. He could feel the curious gazes of students and even teachers on him. He also sensed that the students here possessed extraordinary abilities. More importantly, the atmosphere here was much more vibrant than in Wind Wolf Town, giving him a sense of the human world from his past life.

At least his initial impression of the Redemption Society was positive, even though he still didn't know what the organization exactly did.

Du Bai led Tang San towards the east side, chatting familiarly, "Tang San, Teacher Guan is nice to you. We all share rooms, but you get your own. Having your own room is great; your own private space. Ah, I wish I could have my own room too."

Tang San just smiled without saying much. Having his own room was probably arranged by Zhang Haoxuann to conceal his cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Technique. Being alone was better; it made things easier, no matter what he was doing.

However, now that he was here, sneaking out alone would be difficult, at least for now. The teachers here were not like Teacher Wang Yanfeng; concealing his presence from their perception to sneak out was nearly an impossible task. Unless he obtained another high-order bloodline imprint that granted him hiding abilities, he would have to ask for permission before going out.

The room was spacious; it actually wasn’t just a bedroom, but also included a living room of about twenty square meters, as well as a private bathroom. Altogether, it was around sixty or seventy square meters and felt very spacious, even though it was fully furnished.

For Tang San, who had started his life in this world as a slave, this was certainly a luxury.

"I'll take you to buy some more living essentials later, and then you can move in," Du Bai said with a grin.

Tang San replied, "Thank you for your trouble."

Du Bai laughed. "Heh, no need to be so polite. We're all going to be one big family from now on. By the way, do you know what my Demonic God Transformation is?"

Tang San, taken aback, shook his head.

"Look into my eyes," Du Bai suddenly said.

Out of sheer reflex, Tang San turned to look at him. When their eyes met, he suddenly noticed a bright white halo in Du Bai's eyes, with faint rings of light radiating outward from the center.

The moment their eyes locked, Tang San felt a slight dizziness. But within the core of his spiritual power was a strand of divine consciousness. Almost instantly, a burst of purple light radiated from his eyes. The Purple Demon Eyes had reacted spontaneously.

When that flash of purple light appeared, Du Bai seemed as if he had been struck by lightning. He screamed, stumbled back two steps, and fell to the ground.

All of this happened so fast that even Tang San was unprepared. Du Bai's scream was so loud that it startled him.

The door was flung open almost immediately, and a figure rushed in like the wind.

"What happened?" a sharp voice called out. Tang San felt a sudden chill, as if the air around him had frozen.

An ice attribute Demonic God Transformation? This was the first thought that crossed his mind.

At this moment, Du Bai was rolling on the ground with his hands on his eyes.

The one who had rushed in was none other than Mu Yunyu. She saw Du Bai rolling on the ground and Tang San standing there somewhat dazedly. Without further questioning, she squatted down and pulled Du Bai in front of her with one hand. A cool energy flowed slowly from her other hand into Du Bai’s face, causing Du Bai to shiver but noticeably calming him down.

At this point, other teachers and students also rushed over.

Tang San said bewilderedly, "I don't know what happened. He asked if I knew what his Demonic God Transformation was, and I said no. Then he told me to look into his eyes. I felt dizzy, and he ended up like this."

Guan Longjiang's mouth twitched. "Psychic backlash?"

By now, Du Bai seemed to be more or less stabilized, though he was still twitching slightly and mumbling incoherently.

Guan Longjiang said to Mu Yunyu, "Take him to rest. What an idiot, always trying to pry into others’ business just because he has that ability. This should be a lesson for him. Serves him right."

He then turned to Tang San and said, "Du Bai's Demonic God Transformation comes from a very special heritage from a demon clan called the Celestial Foxes. The Celestial Fox clan is not very good at combat, but in spite of that, they are the royal family of the fox demons. They possess the Celestial Fox Vision ability, which is said to be capable of peering into the very secrets of heaven and earth.

"The Celestial Fox Demon King holds a very high status in the ancestral court of the Daemon Continent and is regarded as one of the two great prophets. Of course, Du Bai's Celestial Fox Vision is not yet fully trained. He can use it to peer into others' abilities, but his own heart is not stable and strong enough. He must be weaker in spiritual power than you, so when he tried to probe you, he suffered a backlash. There should be no big problem."
