Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 233: Tang San, It's So Good to See You

"No worries, I'll keep it a secret. I don't know why, but after this breakthrough, I feel that you're incredibly important to me, the most important person." Du Bai tightly held Tang San's hand. "Extremely, extremely important."

A twitch appeared at the corner of Tang San's mouth as he tried to withdraw his hand, but Du Bai gripped it tightly.

"How important exactly?"

Du Bai said, "I can't explain it well. It's just a feeling. Thanks to the Celestial Fox Vision, I could always tell who I should get close to and who I shouldn’t. You are the most important to me, the closest person to me, closer than anyone else. I will treat you well and believe you will treat me well."

If it were Mei Gongzi saying this, it might be somewhat acceptable, Tang San thought, finally managing to pull his hand free.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't go! I can't see. You have to take care of a blind person," Du Bai said, flailing his arms.

Tang San dodged to the side, irritably saying, "You should focus on your cultivation first and recover your eyesight before we talk."

"Okay, okay. I'll listen to you." Du Bai sat down cross-legged, cultivating his Purple Demon Eyes as Tang San had instructed to heal his eyes.

It took him a whole hour to recover. His eyes were still red and swollen, but he could finally see again.

Upon opening his eyes and seeing Tang San, he first said fondly, "Tang San, it's so good to see you."

Even with Tang San's patience, he couldn't help but burst out, "Piss off!"

"Heh heh heh, I didn't mean anything by it. Brother, this is brotherly affection," Du Bai said, scratching his head. "You're so young, why are you thinking of weird things like that?"

Tang San was left speechless. "It doesn't hurt anymore? Don't look at things you shouldn't in the future. Anyway, it seems like you have the ability to see fate better now, right? How is it different from the past?"

Du Bai thought momentarily and said, "Before, I could only feel things that would happen right away, but now it seems that I can see someone’s future. That is the overall destiny of an individual in the future. Wow, that means your destiny is incredibly promising! So strong. I haven't seen others yet, but I'm sure you are the strongest. It almost blinded me."

Tang San said, "Try not to use this ability too often. Knowing too much about others' future isn't good. It will change the way you act around them. Well, I guess it's okay to use it to observe enemies. In any case, you have to be careful, because the backlash might just terrify you if you meet someone with a great fate again. Also, fate is not set in stone. The future you see is just one possibility, who knows what might happen?"

"Mm-hmm. You know so much. Tang San, you're great. You've taught me so much," Du Bai said, blinking.

Tang San replied indifferently, "I'd appreciate it more if you didn't speak to me in that tone. The fifth order should have more than just this ability, right? What about enhancing fate?"

Du Bai said with a hint of grievance, "Then you have to let me try it out slowly! It's not something I can know right away. And there's no one to teach me."

"Stop trying for now; you should focus on recovering. I'll go get you something to eat."

"Tang San, you're really kind."

"You're welcome..." Tang San muttered to himself, then turned and walked away.

He understood that Du Bai's change in attitude toward him was likely due to the assistance he’d given him during the breakthrough.

Over the next three days, the white glow on Du Bai finally began to recede, and his appearance returned to normal, though he still looked a little older. During these days, he also continued experimenting with using the Celestial Fox Vision, gradually discovering the wonders of the fifth order.

One of the most significant changes was that his influence on the fate of the world around him had improved significantly. Using the Celestial Fox Vision, he could make an area of about ten square meters particularly lucky. Once he used this ability, the effect could last for twenty-four hours. The area could be expanded, but the larger the area, the weaker the effect. With his current cultivation level, any area over a hundred square meters would be unaffected. Of course, it could be imagined that at the sixth order, the ability to enhance the luck of an area would increase even more.

This ability was practically the ultimate support ability. Imagine if someone were to cultivate within the range of his Celestial Fox Vision; they would just so happen to stumble upon priceless insights every so often, which was an insane advantage. However, this ability could only be used once daily, meaning it couldn't simultaneously make multiple places lucky.

If it was used on an individual, the ability wasn’t all that different from before; it just increased their luck more than it used to before the breakthrough.

In addition to this, there was a change in Du Bai himself—he no longer needed to bless himself with luck; rather, he had acquired a passive ability that attracted fate's favor. The heavens naturally protected him, ensuring he was always under the auspices of fate. While it wasn't the kind of good fortune that could turn everything around, Du Bai was now essentially in a state of constant good luck, to a far greater extent than before. This meant that this fresh Two-Tailed Celestial Fox now had some ability to protect himself.

Truly worthy of being one of the top three bloodlines of the Daemon Continent! This thing is incredible.

Tang San was immediately filled with anticipation for his own advancement to the fifth order of the Discerning Eye of Heaven. The effect of this ability on him would naturally be even greater. The Discerning Eye of Heaven would likely have an even greater evolutionary impact than the simple Celestial Fox Vision.

Three days later, the mayor finally allowed Du Bai to exit quarantine, and Tang San could return to Kali Academy to resume his role as Sweeper Tang.

He wasn't worried about Mei Gongzi taking any action during these days; having just killed the Wind Wolf King, there would need to be a period of rest. After all, Kali City was in a state of heightened alert. The authorities were conducting a large-scale search for the killer of the Wind Wolf King and the Titan Bear chief.

Early in the morning, Tang San first greeted Old Mao, then grabbed a broom and headed to the front plaza of the main teaching building to begin his sweeping.

Du Bai's fifth-order state had stabilized over the past few days, and Tang San planned to begin absorbing his luck in a few days to enhance his own Celestial Fox Vision. He had Du Bai apply the luck enhancement to Wu Bingji's room every day. He also arranged for Cheng Zicheng and Gu Li to cultivate there each night, sharing the luck.

Tang San also tried cultivating in the area covered by this luck, and the benefits were clear. His cultivation became smoother, and the coordination between his various bloodlines improved.

No wonder the Celestial Fox clan is revered among the demons. Cultivating under the luck charm cast by a powerful Celestial Fox yields twice the result with half the effort! This is no longer just a support ability; it’s literally defying the heavens.

However, Tang San also faintly sensed that such heaven-defying abilities ought to have inevitable repercussions. Everything had two sides; manipulating luck as the Celestial Fox clan did was bound to result in a backlash. So then...what kind of backlash would there be?

The Redemption Society had no information on this; it was clearly a core secret of the Celestial Fox clan. Tang San thought he had to find an opportunity to research this. In any case, since the Celestial Fox clan were able to cultivate to the god level by default, it was likely that any severe backlash would happen during that breakthrough, or maybe later.

As Tang San swept the floor, pondering the Celestial Fox Vision, he was suddenly enveloped by a familiar sensation as he sensed a faint fragrance wafting through the air.

"What have you been doing these past few days?" a cold voice followed.

Tang San turned around, surprised and delighted to see Mei Gongzi standing right beside him.

"Sister Mei!"

When he saw her, a warmth rushed into his heart, and joy uncontrollably spilled out.

Seeing his surprised expression, Mei Gongzi's questioning tone softened considerably. "I'm asking you something."
