Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 132: Commendation

Tang San appeared humble and contrite, but Mu Yunyu had no intention of letting him off the hook. She sternly said, "Tang San, step forward!"

Tang San took a step forward.

Mu Yunyu slowly approached him. "Do you realize that what you did—"

"What he did is something commendable, and we should praise Tang San for his brave spirit!"

Mu Yunyu was startled, and so were the other students. They instinctively looked toward the direction of the voice that had just interrupted their teacher.

It turned out to be Guan Longjiang. He had an unusually big grin on his face, and he was accompanied by Mayor Zhang Haoxuan, who looked similarly smug.

Contrasting his disheveled appearance from last night, when he could only sit down passively and take the tongue lashing, the mayor now radiated joy. He was confidently following Guan Longjiang with his hands clasped behind his back and a noticeable hint of pride in his eyes.

Mu Yunyu gave Guan Longjiang a puzzled look. Hadn't they agreed last night? Today, they were supposed to criticize Tang San as a warning to everyone. What if such an incident happened again? Although there had been no casualties, even the mayor had been significantly injured. They had almost lost the academy’s best talents in one blow!

Guan Longjiang came beside her, patted Tang San's shoulder, and smilingly addressed the other students, "You must be curious about what Wu Bingji, Tang San, and the others have been doing these past few days. Now, let me tell you."

"With the academy's support, Tang San, Wu Bingji, and three others went on a mission to hunt demonic beasts. Initially, I opposed their request, as the demonic beasts they aimed to hunt were too powerful. But then, Tang San told me that flowers that grow in a greenhouse cannot survive the storm. Facing stronger challenges and greater crises better stimulates their potential.

"After careful consideration, we agreed to their request and let them undertake this mission. You might be wondering what demon they sought to hunt. Well, let me tell you. They chose the Winged Tiger, a creature that reaches the seventh order at full maturity."

Upon hearing this, the students immediately erupted into a buzz of astonishment. A seventh-order demonic beast, seventh-order! What guts these guys have!

"As we were worried about their safety, the mayor secretly followed them to provide protection. Along the way, they continuously improved their combat skills and teamwork through battles with demonic beasts, and they are all much stronger now.

"When they reached the border of the Winged Tiger territory, they found one immediately, but it was luckily a sixth-order Winged Tiger, not yet an adult. But as you all know, a sixth-order demonic beast is much stronger than a sixth-order human due to their formidable bodies. But even in these circumstances, Tang San and his team of five successfully killed this sixth-order Winged Tiger and completed their mission, all without the mayor's assistance."

Everyone knew about Wu Bingji's injuries; they had seen the eldest senior brother in bandages in the cafeteria. But the news of the team killing a sixth-order Winged Tiger left everyone in shock and awe.

"But wait, there's more. The Winged Tiger they killed was indeed not an adult, as I said. However, it had a family, and its parents found the team immediately. Its father, a ninth-order Winged Tiger King, is an incredibly powerful being. The mayor intervened in time, holding off the ninth-order Winged Tiger King. However, the tiger's mother, a peak seventh-order demonic beast, attacked the team as well."

Guan Longjiang paused here, and even though the students knew Tang San and his team had returned safely, they couldn’t help but feel anxious.

"At that time, they had no reinforcements and could only rely on themselves. The outcome, as you see, is that they all came back. Du Bai and Gu Li returned unconscious, Wu Bingji was seriously injured, and Tang San had minor injuries. But their achievement was remarkable. Although luck played a part, they successfully killed the peak seventh-order tigress. It seems impossible now that I say it, but they made it possible."

This revelation elicited another wave of astonishment from the students. Their gaze changed as they looked at Tang San and Cheng Zicheng.

“In just over a week of training, they all grew significantly. Tang San was right; greenhouse flowers cannot withstand the storm. And their achievements are one thing. The more important thing is that in the process of getting there, they all managed to become much stronger. Therefore, after discussing with the mayor, we decided that demonic beast hunting would become an important part of practical training. All of you will take part in this and put your abilities to the test. Considering the exceptional performance of Tang San, Wu Bingji, and their team, the academy has decided that all profits from the two Winged Tigers they had taken down will go to them. However, they offered the tiger meat and bones to the academy for everyone's nourishment.”

Cheers immediately filled the air. The Fissure Lizard soup was already amazing, but demonic beast meat came in different grades! Namely, the higher-order and more ferocious the demon, the better the nourishing effect of its flesh and bones. Tigers were the kings of demonic beasts, so even a lower-order tiger would provide amazing nourishment, let alone a sixth-order one. As for a peak seventh-order tiger, there was no need to even talk about it. They had never even seen something like that, much less eat it.

Cheng Zicheng was rather bewildered at the moment.

This morning, when she met Teacher Mu Yunyu, she was severely reprimanded. In the academy, there were only a few teachers, and Mu Yunyu was the only female teacher, so all female students sought her guidance individually.

Just now, it looked like Teacher Mu Yunyu was about to make Tang San an example of what not to do. So how did everything change the moment Teacher Guan arrived?

Mu Yunyu's face turned sour, and she pinched Guan Longjiang secretly. Unfortunately for her, Guan Longjiang seemed perfectly unfazed.

Do all profits go to us? Does this mean that everything valuable, aside from flesh and bones, now belongs to us? Tang San was overjoyed. This meant at least five more naturae coins, right?

"Alright, that's settled. Let's start the class. Teacher Mu, please continue," Guan Longjiang said with a cheerful smile.

"Continue my ass. Come with me!" Mu Yunyu, not giving him any face, pulled his sleeve and dragged him aside. She had to find out right there and then why Guan Longjiang's attitude had suddenly changed.

Zhang Haoxuan approached Tang San, smiling. "Alright, back in line. That was an excellent performance you put up. We'll keep doing this in the future."

Tang San naturally understood why; Du Bai's evolution of the Celestial Fox Transformation had greatly surprised the teachers. This first-tier Demonic God Transformation was simply too important for the Redemption Society as a whole. Another god-level fighter would be certainly good, but if Du Bai could reach the god level in the future, it might allow the entire organization to reach the threshold of top-tier power.

This was because the Celestial Fox Vision was an auxiliary ability, and its primary function was to support other abilities!

The fact that the demons respect the Celestial Fox Emperor so much, indicates the importance of this support ability. Its appearance among humans means an excellent opportunity for us to evolve!

Soon, a bewildered Mu Yunyu returned. The anger on her face had vanished, replaced by a somewhat odd expression, as if she wasn't sure whether to yell at someone or burst out laughing.

She suddenly realized that the most frustrated person shouldn't be herself but rather her brother, who was responsible for the practical combat classes.

Mu Enqing had taught the students practical combat for a long time, but while the improvements associated with these classes were decent, they were certainly not extraordinary by any means. In other words, Tang San had achieved something in a couple of days that Mu Enqing hadn't managed in years!

Moreover, Tang San himself was only nine years old, yet he had already reached the sixth order. This rate of improvement was genuinely terrifying.
