Tang San returned to his room and saw Du Bai's face still flushed with excitement. "Teacher Guan confirmed it. I've made a breakthrough. Hahaha. Impressive, isn't it?"
Tang San replied, somewhat helplessly. "First, you need to control your emotions and stabilize your bloodline fluctuations to be truly impressive. Right now, anyone can tell something's off with you."
When Du Bai first came in, Tang San had instantly sensed it—a feeling as if Du Bai could disrupt the laws.
Yes, disrupt the laws. In this regard, Tang San's judgment was indeed more accurate than Guan Longjiang's.
What are laws? They are the fundamental principles based on which the world works, the basis for the order of the plane. And when Du Bai hugged Tang San, the latter felt a disturbance in this order. Although it wasn't enough to change the order, it was undeniable that there was a disturbance.
With the Celestial Fox Transformation advancing to the fourth order, its actual effects began manifesting. Tang San distinctly felt its extraordinary nature. However, he still wasn't sure what effects Du Bai's fourth-order Celestial Fox Vision could produce. But as soon as he got close, he immediately felt something strange.
Du Bai was full of goodwill toward him, so when Tang San came in contact with him, he felt as if his luck had improved. The flow of his Mysterious Heaven Technique inside his body became smoother.
His Discerning Eye of Heaven also resonated with Du Bai's Celestial Fox Vision, absorbing some of Du Bai's aura. Although it wasn't through the absorption of the Mysterious Heaven Technique and it was just minimal, Tang San could feel a slight improvement in his Discerning Eye of Heaven.
This meant that as long as he was with Du Bai, the Discerning Eye of Heaven could evolve independently, without having to use the Mysterious Heaven Technique to absorb Du Bai’s energy.
After reaching the fourth order, Du Bai had changed. Absorbing from him again the way Tang San had done before could likely lead to a backlash of fate. It was better to just stay by his side and benefit from his luck. Though the progress would be slower, it wouldn't cause any problems.
Thus, Tang San was happy to have Du Bai by his side.
"Alright, alright, I get it. It's just that I've just broken through. I'll try to control it. The fourth order does seem different," Du Bai said excitedly.
Tang San nodded. "I'll take you back to your room first. I'll bring breakfast to you later. I expect the teachers will be looking for you soon."
"Okay, thanks, brother. By the way, can I continue to cultivate the Purple Demon Eyes?" Du Bai asked quietly.
Tang San nodded, saying, "It shouldn't be a problem. Your breakthrough to the fourth order must have also increased your spiritual power. Your breakthrough was likely triggered because you felt those very strong emotions, and your bloodline energy practically boiled. But as your spiritual power grows, you’ll be able to control the Celestial Fox Vision better and make future advancements easier. Try cultivating it, and ask me if you notice any changes. We'll talk about it as we go. Plus, if you reach a high enough level, the Purple Demon Eyes can be a weapon to use in combat as well."
"A weapon? What do you mean?" Du Bai asked, puzzled.
Tang San felt around silently, ensuring no one was nearby. Then he said, "Well, if you can cultivate your spiritual power high enough, you can use it to launch spiritual attacks. Watch closely."
Saying this, he turned to the side, and the next moment, a flash of purple light shone in his eyes.
A purple light, about an inch long, shot out from his eyes, vanishing in a flash.
Though it wasn't directed at Du Bai, he distinctly felt his newly enhanced spiritual power and the power of luck being significantly suppressed in an instant. It was as if there was a massive beast in front of him. The alarming spiritual shock made him let out a cry of surprise.
Once he had merged with the Celestial Fox Transformation, Tang San's spiritual power had condensed into a liquid. Furthermore, he had combined the Celestial Fox Vision with his Discerning Eye to form the Discerning Eye of Heaven, a fusion of three great visual abilities. Finally, the Purple Demon Eyes were an incredible visual technique that Tang San had been cultivating for the longest time. These three elements complemented each other perfectly, and Tang San was sure that the power of his Purple Demon Eyes was both greater and more important to him than it had been in his past life at the same level.
That day, when confronting the Winged Tiger, if it weren't for the firm control of Gu Li and Wu Bingji, he would have risked revealing this powerful ability to give the Winged Tiger a proper spiritual shock.
He showed this in front of Du Bai because he had already taught Du Bai the method of cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes, so there was not much to hide at this point. Another reason was to show Du Bai how strong he was in this aspect and how promising the Purple Demon Eyes were.
He hoped Du Bai would improve quickly, as this would also speed up the advancement of his own Discerning Eye of Heaven! Now that Du Bai was at the fourth order, it meant that Tang San’s bloodline imprint could soon also reach the fourth order.
Du Bai stared at Tang San, dumbfounded. "Whoa, that’s a thing? And how is your spiritual power so great?"
Tang San nodded. "It comes from cultivating the Purple Demon Eyes. So now you know why I told you that cultivating this could help evolve your Celestial Fox Vision."
"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Du Bai nodded repeatedly. It was precisely because he possessed the Celestial Fox Vision that he could feel just how formidable Tang San's output of spiritual power was in that instant.
"Oh, by the way, I've also broken through to the sixth order," Tang San said casually.
"You…" Du Bai stared at him, agape, and after a long while, managed to blurt out, "You absolute freak."
Du Bai suddenly felt that his breakthrough to the fourth order seemed much less impressive. Tang San is two years younger than me and he’s already reached the sixth order. Isn’t that the same as the eldest senior brother? Also, he could fight the eldest senior brother to a standstill when he was at the fifth order. Now that he’s at the sixth order, doesn't that mean he's the strongest of us? And he’s the youngest! Where do I even begin to make sense of this?!
Du Bai wanted to say, I don't want to play with you anymore! But Tang San had just taught him the Purple Demon Eyes, so it wasn't easy to say that!
With the Celestial Fox Vision entering the fourth order, Du Bai felt that Tang San's aura actually seemed even more agreeable to him. He was familiar with this sense of closeness—the better someone's luck, the closer he felt to them.
"I'm going back to my room. Thanks for pouring cold water on me. That sure helped me stabilize my emotions," Du Bai said, looking lost in space.
"No need to thank me," Tang San said with a slight smile.
"Who's thanking you?! Hmph. I'm off!"
In the end, Tang San still accompanied him back to his room, fulfilling his promise to Guan Longjiang, and then went to the cafeteria for breakfast.
The broth made with demon beast bones was just superb! A bowl of it and the nourishment made everyone feel warm and tingly. After such a great breakfast, everyone was naturally spirited and lively.
This morning, it was time for the physical training class taught by Teacher Mu Yunyu.
Apart from Du Bai, Gu Li, and Wu Bingji, all the others gathered in the yard.
Teacher Mu Yunyu looked solemnly at the students, saying gravely, “The academy has carefully selected each of you. Your talents rank among the top among humans with the Demonic God Transformation. You should all be aware of where our Demonic God Transformation comes from—it's a legacy born from our ancestors' humiliation. So, the first thing you must do is to protect yourselves, grow quickly, and become useful individuals. Your adventures bring personal danger and a great loss to the academy and the organization. Today, I am warning you that in the future, no matter what task you are doing, you must act within your capabilities and not be rash. Protecting your safety is the key to having a future.”
While speaking, her rather icy gaze fell on Tang San.
Of the five who had gone on the mission, only Tang San and Cheng Zicheng attended today's class. Tang San was the one who had proposed the entire mission. It would be strange if he weren't targeted.
