Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Tang San pondered for a moment before he turned to look at the second divine tool, which appeared even more bizarre. It looked like a stone, its entire body exhibiting a luster akin to amber, and it was irregularly shaped, lumpy and twisted as if someone had flattened and kneaded it.

Tang San paused for a longer time this time before turning to look at the third divine tool.

Pretty Girl followed by his side, also observing carefully, but she found that her observation really didn't mean much. At least for the first two items, she had no clue what they were, and she couldn't even begin to guess.

In front of the third divine tool, Tang San saw a mirror, round, slightly larger than a palm. The surface was slightly convex, as if it had been crafted from a special kind of crystal stone, and the metal rim surrounding the mirror was engraved with intricate patterns. Among the first three divine tools, this one was certainly the most attractive.

Without lingering too long, Tang San continued to the fourth divine tool.

It was at this moment that the voice of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox sounded, "You have a total of ten minutes to make your selection. Now there are eight minutes left."

This reminder wasn't for Tang San and Pretty Girl, but for the Nine Suns Holy Sword duo, who seemed to have trouble moving away from the first divine tool. They just stood there, looking at it, unable to conceal the excitement in their eyes.

Big Cat was right beside them, also eyeing that divine tool with obvious interest.

By now, Tang San had reached the fourth divine tool. Seeing it, his eyebrows raised slightly. This divine tool was very peculiar—it was a book, an antique-looking volume whose surface was entirely a dark golden color. The book was inscribed with very intricate text, but he was certain they belonged to no known language from the Fairy Continent. The dark gold cover was iridescent and very eye-catching.

This time, Tang San did not leave immediately; instead, he stood in front of the crystal cover, carefully observing as if he were trying to find some clues in its subtleties.

It took him three full minutes to move on, which was a bit longer than the time he spent on the previous divine tools combined.

Since Pretty Girl couldn't discern the significance of the book, she had already moved forward, continuing to observe the other divine tools. With the option to pick four items, she had plenty of choices.

Tang San halted before the fifth crystal cover to have a look. Inside the fifth crystal cover, there was a knife with a crimson blade that emitted a faint glow. Interestingly, the body of this crimson long knife seemed to be in a semi-nothingness state, giving it an ethereal appearance, as if it was barely there. It also vibrated slightly, as though it would burst free as soon as the crystal cover was opened.

With a contemplative look, Tang San's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He directly walked towards the next divine tool.

The sixth cover housed a divine tool that seemed quite normal in comparison. It was a crystal stone, dazzlingly bright and as large as a human head. Purple halos constantly radiated from it, turning the entire cover a shade of purple.

This must be the ore used to refine Purple Crystal Coins, he thought; such a large piece would fairly constitute a divine tool. It obviously contained a massive amount of energy.

Tang San had recently garnered some Purple Crystal Coins and, taking one from the storage ring he had just received and that now was on his finger, he sensed it briefly.

The Purple Crystal Coin was only slightly larger than a fingernail, perfectly round and without any carvings. When he infused it with his spiritual power and felt the fluctuation in energy, his face revealed a look of sudden surprise, but it quickly turned to understanding. He put the Purple Crystal Coin back into the ring and walked towards the seventh cover.

At this moment, Big Cat and the Nine Suns Holy Sword group had already crossed to the other side ahead of them, continuing to examine the other divine tools.

Inside the seventh cover, there was a pair of artifacts, seemingly boxing gloves. One glove was white and the other black. Calling them gloves, however, they were a bit like gauntlets and did not seem bulky. They were set in the form of fists, as if there was something inside making them quite three-dimensional.

After observing for a while, even getting his face nearly up to the crystal cover, Tang San remained there for about a minute.

The two gauntlets looked utterly simple, seemingly made of leather and devoid of any radiance. In any case, Pretty Girl, who had been standing in front of Tang San earlier, hadn't noticed anything special. She was now observing the tenth cover, the one that the Nine Suns Holy Sword duo had eagerly inspected, to see the divine tool within.

Tang San arrived in front of the eighth crystal cover, within which lay a dagger, roughly only seven inches long. It was completely translucent, radiating a faint golden glow, and moreover, the small sword was suspended within the crystal cover, seemingly displaying its extraordinary nature.

In terms of presentation, this should be the best among the eight divine tools seen so far.

Though called divine tools, to be precise, these items could be described as divine tools and things equivalent to divine tools.

In front of the eighth cover, Tang San merely glanced briefly before immediately striding forward to the front of the ninth cover.

Within the ninth crystal cover was a pair of shoes, yes, a pair of divine tool shoes—this was definitely a rarity. They looked completely black, but within that blackness flowed a faint purple halo, and as the halo changed, one could see the intricate patterns on the surface of the dark shoes, clearly indicating they were not ordinary.

Tang San reflected for a moment, then continued walking, finally coming to Pretty Girl's side.

Seeing him approach, Pretty Girl said, "Look at this one."

When Tang San saw the divine tool in the tenth cover, a flicker of sudden understanding swept through his eyes. This divine tool could be said to be the easiest to recognize and ascertain its function. No wonder the Nine Suns Holy Sword pair was so excited.

Inside the cover was something spike-like, emitting a gloomy and reserved radiance. But around it, there seemed to be invisible energy carving through the air. What was that? It was sword beam, incredibly sharp sword beam. And what was this spike-like thing? It was a long beak, to be precise, from a Red-crowned Crane Demon.

Why this long beak was in Ancestral Court's possession, Tang San didn't know. But clearly, this must have been left by an ancestor of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor, a divine tool level long beak, signifying that such a being was once at the Great Demon Emperor Level! However, why wasn't this divine tool in the hands of Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor?

If this item fell into the hands of the Nine Suns Holy Sword duo, it would certainly be of immense help to that Red-crowned Crane Demon.

Tang San smiled. What a great item, truly a great item! Ancestral Court must have presented this divine tool for them, he assumed.

Having inspected all ten reward divine tools, Tang San felt confident in his plan.

Each of the ten divine tools was extraordinary, but there were indeed different levels and tiers among them. Different divine tools had different functions, and it also depended on whether they suited one's needs. Of course, there were also matters of value; it was normal for some divine tools to be worth twice as much as others.

Pretty Girl came up to Tang San and asked in a low voice, "How should we choose?"

Tang San asked, "Do you have any particular favorites?"

Pretty Girl shook her head. "Apart from the Purple Crystal Stone and that long beak, I can't figure out what the others are for. How am I supposed to choose?"

Tang San said, "Shall I choose then?"

"Of course, that was the plan all along." She was full of confidence in Tang San's vast knowledge, and this sort of matter was undoubtedly best left to him.

Tang San nodded at her, signaling that she could rest assured.

At this moment, Big Cat and the other two were still observing. Big Cat was the first to finish examining and, seeing that Tang San and Pretty Girl had also finished, hurried over and asked Tang San in a low voice, "What should I choose later?"
