Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Wang Yanfeng looked deeply at him and said to Guigui beside him, "You go and rest first, pay attention to the main gate tonight. Although there shouldn't be any problems, it's better to be careful."

"Mmm, I'll go check out the front, and you should rest early too. I think, you guys might as well leave tomorrow. Even though Tang San was masked today, his build is still quite distinctive." Guigui said in a low voice.

"I know," Wang Yanfeng nodded to her.

After Guigui left, Wang Yanfeng's gaze returned to Tang San, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why did you decide to take part in the collision competition today? This isn't like you. Although you're the youngest among the five children, you've always been the most composed one. Why did you suddenly become so impulsive today? Do you know that it's very dangerous?"

Tang San lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

"Say something!" Wang Yanfeng was frustrated. Watching Tang San compete today had really made his heart leap to his throat. Especially when he saw Tang San kill the Flash Leopard, at that time, to the onlookers, he seemed to have been pounced on by the fourth-stage Flash Leopard. At that moment, Wang Yanfeng thought it was all over. But who would have guessed that Tang San would then win three consecutive matches. The Ox Demon with strong defensive power and the White-headed Falcon Demon with astounding speed and perception all fell at his hands.

Wang Yanfeng asked himself, even if he had been the one to make a move, he might not have done better than him.

In a low voice, Tang San muttered, "Teacher, that milk tea was really good. I wanted to earn some money..."

"Milk tea?" Wang Yanfeng was momentarily stunned, looking at the child in front of him with his head bowed, suddenly feeling as if something was stuck in his heart.

Just for that cup of milk tea.

A hard-to-describe sorrow welled up in his heart. Only then did he suddenly realize that the person before him was still just a nine-year-old child. Grown up among slaves from an early age, he had never felt warmth, and in the eyes of the Monsters, slaves were no different from livestock.

That cup of milk tea might have given him a taste he had never experienced before. Our human children are willing to risk their lives just to earn money for a cup of milk tea.

"Mmm, milk tea is sweet, very fragrant," Tang San said with his head down.

Wang Yanfeng took a deep breath, suddenly stepped forward, pulled Tang San into his embrace, and hugged him.

With his head bowed, Tang San's mind was filled with the look and smile of Pretty Girl from their meeting today. The cup from that milk tea was by his bedside because Pretty Girl had touched it.

"Don't do such foolish things again. When you want to drink milk tea, just tell your teacher, and I'll take you to buy it," Wang Yanfeng's voice was no longer stern, it was deep and carried a touch of warmth, as if he was choking up.

Tang San's heart trembled. In that moment, the image of his father from his previous life involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Compared to this life, his last one had been fortunate at least in that he had his father to accompany him as he grew up. His father in his previous life was one of the strongest of that era, always by his side whenever he encountered danger on the road of growth.

From Wang Yanfeng, he felt the same sense of paternal affection his father from his previous life had given him.

"I'm sorry, Teacher, I won't be impulsive again. I made you worry," Tang San sincerely admitted his mistake.

Indeed, if it hadn't been for the deep impact Pretty Girl had on him today, he wouldn't have rashly participated in the competition. But when he saw Pretty Girl that instant, he truly couldn't restrain the impulses of his heart any longer.

Today had been the happiest day for him since he came to this world, finding the reincarnation of his lover from his past life. And at this moment, he was experiencing the fatherly love brought by Wang Yanfeng.

He had actually anticipated a scolding from both Wang Yanfeng and Aunt Gui upon his return. Yet unexpectedly, what awaited him was only warmth.

Wang Yanfeng patted his head, "Forget everything that happened today. You are very talented, and you'll surely go far in the future. Rest early, I'll go check on your Aunt Gui. If there's nothing tonight, then there should be no problems."

"Okay," Tang San agreed.

Wang Yanfeng gently patted his shoulder before he got up to leave. However, after he left, Tang San realized that the Spirit Rhinoceros Coin he had just given him was left on the bed and had not been taken by Wang Yanfeng.

Teacher is truly a kind person! Tang San felt much warmth in his heart.

After extinguishing the light, Tang San sat cross-legged on the bed. He first composed himself.

Then he gradually entered into meditation, feeling the Mystic Sky Technique's power coursing through his body. The four battles today were extremely important for him.

The reason he chose to fight four battles and withdrew in time was all part of his plan.

In the first battle against the Flash Leopard, he killed it and almost instantly devoured all the fourth-stage Flash Leopard's bloodline power. That was to enhance his own Leopard Flash.

The Leopard Flash was very important to Tang San, as that burst of acceleration was enough to give him more versatility and adaptability during combat.

The power of the fourth stage was vastly different from the third. The increase in power was substantial. Just like with his wind blade, if today hadn't been under the public eye, the real might of his wind blade would have been much more formidable.

Advancing the Leopard Flash to the fourth stage would undoubtedly take his overall combat strength to the next level.

For the subsequent three battles, he only devoured a bit of the bloodline power from the Rhino Demon, White-headed Falcon Demon, and Spirit Rhinoceros Deer Beast, forming Bloodline Brands within his body.

Because the amount of power devoured was small, it roughly formed brands similar to the third stage.

Why devour three more kinds? One reason was to increase the number of skills he had. Another more important reason was for Tang San to attempt to find out just how many brands he could retain through the Mysterious Heaven Method.

According to his speculation, it was highly likely that each stage of the Mysterious Heaven Method could retain one brand, having one Demon God Transformation skill. But this was just a hypothesis, which required validation through practice.

He already possessed the skills wind blade and Leopard Flash, so by devouring three more as someone at the fourth-stage capacity, he had already exceeded the limit by one. If all three could be branded within his Mysterious Heaven Skill for use, it would mean his previous judgment was wrong. If only two could be branded, and the other could not, it would mean his judgment was correct. This would be greatly beneficial for his future cultivation.

Yet, the eventual outcome was somewhat unexpected to Tang San.

At this moment, the three types of bloodline power that he had devoured did not form any brands; they were like three different colored orbs of light, suspended within his Mysterious Heaven Skill, silently waiting.

Tang San could vaguely sense that he was able to brand all three skills into his Mysterious Heaven Skill and make them his own abilities. But, he also had a feeling that the wind blade and Leopard Flash skills he already possessed seemed to be getting impacted and becoming more active.

What did this mean?

A hint of perplexity arose in Tang San's mind; why did the arrival of three new abilities make his original two skills seem unstable?

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since he started cultivating in this world.

The instability of the two original brands did not unsettle him; on the contrary, he felt excited at this moment.

For him, both the wind blade and the Leopard Flash were far from powerful abilities, and even the potential for space enhancement was extremely limited. It was quite apparent what their growth ceiling would be.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the most troublesome state would be if the already branded skills could only continue improving while the total number of skills he could brand was limited. In that case, at least until he broke through to the God Rank, the wind blade and Leopard Flash would keep growing up with him.
