Chapter 68: Celestial Fox Vision
Celestial Fox Vision? Tang San's heart stirred. This ability sounded magnificent! And was the Celestial Fox Demon King one of the two great seers of the ancestral court? That would mean standing at the very pinnacle of the Daemon Continent! To think that one of his new colleagues possessed such a Demonic God Transformation inheritance...
If I could acquire this bloodline imprint, could the Celestial Fox Vision and the Discerning Eye possibly merge? If I could improve the Discerning Eye some more....
The advantages brought by the Discerning Eye were clear: enhanced mental strength, improved vision, the ability to glimpse the secrets of the elements, and even a certain degree of fortune and misfortune avoidance. The only issue is that it was practically impossible to enhance the level of the Discerning Eye by absorbing bloodline energy, as it is a fusion of two abilities: Discerning Heart's Gaze and Falcon Eye.
Tang San had initially planned to continue devouring the bloodline powers of the White-Headed Falcon Demon and the Aetherhorn Deer to see if he could further improve the Discerning Eye. However, hearing about the Celestial Fox Vision, he couldn't help feeling intrigued. What if he continued to merge other vision-related Demonic God Transformation abilities with the Discerning Eye? Could he do that? And if he could, would it induce a further qualitative change in the Discerning Eye?
The Celestial Fox Vision is likely one of this plane’s most potent bloodline powers. It's a great choice!
"Teacher Guan, what order is Du Bai?" Tang San asked curiously.
Guan Longjiang said, "Third order. All Celestial Fox demons are at the first order at birth, and very fragile at that. The inheritance of the Celestial Fox bloodline is extremely rare, and always greatly valued. In fact, Du Bai is the only known human with the Celestial Fox Transformation inheritance. This must be kept secret and never mentioned outside."
Tang San quickly nodded, "He won't be in trouble, will he?"
Guan Longjiang said, "No, he'll be fine. The spiritual power of the Celestial Fox Transformation is very stable, which gives birth to—" He stopped himself, then continued, "You rest first. When he's better, I'll have him come and apologize to you."
"No need, no need. I should apologize for injuring him," said Tang San, somewhat awkwardly.
He could feel the surprised looks of the other students. He was not the first one to be probed by Du Bai. But to have made Du Bai suffer a loss, he was definitely a rarity, if not even the first one.
When the teachers and students of the Redemption Society had all left, Tang San let loose a sigh of relief. The incident with Du Bai significantly raised his assessment of the Redemption Society.
The Celestial Fox Transformation must be among the highest-tier bloodlines in the demon race. Even if Du Bai's bloodline wasn't pure enough to compare with an actual Celestial Fox demon, Guan Longjiang had mentioned that he was the only human to inherit the Celestial Fox Transformation, highlighting his importance.
To be able to come to the Redemption Society and to be specially cultivated by the organization, there probably wasn't a single ordinary person among them! The other students were also definitely talented. In terms of bloodline, his Wind Wolf Transformation was probably the weakest among all.
With Du Bai mentally injured, the first problem Tang San faced was that there was now no one to take him shopping for daily necessities.
Just as he prepared to make do and meditate on the wooden bed that night, someone knocked at the door again.
"Please come in," Tang San stood up and left the bedroom.
The door opened, and a petite figure walked in.
This girl looked slightly older than Tang San, probably about the same age as Mei Gongzi. She had a high ponytail, fair and delicate skin, and beautiful blue eyes. When she smiled, two small dimples appeared on her cheeks.
"Hello," Tang San greeted her first.
"Hello, I'm Cheng Zicheng. I've come to take you shopping for daily necessities," Cheng Zicheng said with a smile.
"Thank you for your trouble," Tang San said with a smile. The teachers are thoughtful!
"It's no trouble at all. Consider it a thank you," Cheng Zicheng giggled.
"Thank you?" Tang San was puzzled.
Cheng Zicheng nodded. "Yes! That Du Bai is so annoying. He's always prying with his Celestial Fox Vision, always peeping at us girls. I want to poke those precious eyes of his out, hmph!"
Tang San clearly felt a murderous aura from her, and he couldn't help but think to himself that one should never cause offense to a woman. No matter their age, they were all the same when they were down for revenge.
Cheng Zicheng smiled. "Now it's good though. He's at a disadvantage with you. The teacher said he can't use his Celestial Fox Vision for at least half a month. Serves him right!"
Tang San gave a wry smile. "I didn't do it on purpose. His injuries aren't serious, are they?"
“It’ll be fine. The Celestial Fox clan is known as the children of fortune; they're lucky and not so easily harmed. We're all surprised that you could injure him. Normally, we also want to mess with him, but there are always some strange situations, and this guy slips away. And whoever wants to deal with him ends up having bad luck. So annoying! You should be careful, too; now that you've injured him, you must watch out for your luck. Though, now that I think of it, the fact that you could hurt him means that your luck must be good too."
Is that a thing? Children of fortune?
Du Bai's luck didn’t work on him, which Tang San could understand. After all, he was the reincarnation of a God King, and luck was really not much of a factor to him. His arrival here was already defying the heavens. Due to being reborn in this world with his full memories, his real opponent was the master of this plane. Not to mention Du Bai's luck, even the luck of the Celestial Fox demon king probably couldn't affect him.
"Let's go, I'll take you," Cheng Zicheng waved to him and left.
Tang San followed Cheng Zicheng out of Redemption Academy, retracing the path Zhang Haoxuan had previously led him on and heading toward the academy's small town.
"Where are we going to buy things?" Tang San asked.
Cheng Zicheng replied, "We have everything here in our town when it comes to general daily stuff, but we have to go to the city if it's something more special or expensive. But you don't need to go to the city, do you?"
In his heart, Tang San thought, Hell yes I want to go to the city! Even to the city center. I want to drink milk tea. Well, since I just arrived here, it's better to familiarize myself with the surroundings first, not in a hurry to go to the city.
"Mm-hmm," he nodded in agreement.
Cheng Zicheng said, "Teacher Guan asked me to introduce you to our Academy Town. Our town has close to two thousand households and five or six thousand people. Among our human vassal groups, it's pretty large. The people here are all vassals of the major clans of Kali City. The reason they gather here is mainly to serve Kali Academy. You know about this, right?"
Tang San replied, "The mayor told me about this before."
"The town mainly provides various daily necessities for Kali Academy. Sometimes, we also assist the demon students of Kali Academy in their cultivation. That's why we have a special Academy Sparring Team."
"Academy Sparring Team? What's that?" Tang San asked in surprise.
Cheng Zicheng explained, "As the name suggests, it's a team we put together for sparring with those demons. We actually earn some money from sparring, which is good for the town. We also do many other services for the academy, and we are paid for everything. The whole Academy Town exists because of Kali Academy."
"Isn't sparring dangerous?" Tang San asked.
Cheng Zicheng responded, "There are always minor accidents, but that’s about it. The students of Kali Academy don’t really hate us, even though we’re human vassals, and the fact that we spar with them also helps them get stronger.”
Tang San nodded. "It sounds like you have a pretty good impression of Kali Academy?”
"You'll find out for yourself in the future."
