Soul Land V (Douluo Dalu): Rebirth of Tang San

The small figure moved with incredible speed, bursting from the blind spot of the peripheral vision. A hand, as if carved from white jade, struck towards the eyes of the rising Wolf Monster from behind and to the side.

In this move, Tang San's grasp of timing, position, and distance was extremely precise.

He was well aware that even with his full repertoire of Tang Sect techniques and Third Stage Mysterious Heaven Skill Cultivation, he might not be a match for the inherently gifted and physically strong Wolf Monster in direct combat. His young age and insufficient vitality meant he couldn't endure a prolonged fight. Had it not been for the transformed human who had killed a Wolf Monster, he might not have intervened against two Third Stage Wolf Monsters; his own life was the most important thing.

But once he made a move, it had to hit its mark.

The Wolf Monster was in a state of extreme anger, so it wasn't until Tang San's palm was already striking towards the side of its eye that it realized the danger. With a swift turn of its head, its jaws snapped towards Tang San.

Tang San's other hand, however, seized its fur at that moment, taking advantage of his small and nimble stature, he pulled the fur to change his direction. He flipped over, skimming past the chest of the Third Stage Wolf Monster to its other side.

Holding his right hand's index and middle fingers together like a sword, he activated his Mysterious Jade Hands, causing the two digits to glimmer with a white jade-like brilliance as they stabbed like lightning towards the eyes of the Wolf Monster that was turning its head back.

"Pfft!" His slender fingers pierced into the warmth almost instantaneously. In terms of physical strength, Tang San was definitely far inferior to the Third Stage Wolf Monster, but striking a vital point, there was no more chance of luck under the same level of energy.

Under the infusion of the Mysterious Heaven Method into the Mysterious Jade Hands, his power almost spiraled into the Wolf Monster's brain. Consequently, the other eye of the Monster also exploded in an instant, its brain was turned into mush. The roar stopped as if its throat had been seized, and its powerful body then collapsed onto the ground.

Tang San pushed off from its body with the tip of his foot, somersaulting to land at a safer distance.

Such a result of this strike was also thanks to his rich combat experience from his past life. The child's slender body and the cover of night were his best concealment, in addition to the Third Stage Wolf Monster being in a frenzied state, its perception weakened.

In a direct confrontation, Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hands might not have been able to penetrate the thick hide of the Wolf Monster. However, the eyes were the weakest part. Once the eyes were pierced and Mysterious Heaven Skill Energy was injected, it was certain death.

After landing, the other Third Stage Wolf Monster on the opposite side had also stopped moving. Only then did Tang San breathe a sigh of relief. He did not hurry to check on the human but instead quickly lay on the ground, pressing his ear against the soil to listen for any surrounding movements and check if there were any pursuers.

With his current strength, it was difficult to confront a Third Stage Wolf Monster head-on. No matter how skillful he was, his young body was too frail. A single hit from a Wolf Monster could be fatal. The seemingly simple attack he had just made was actually with all his might, elevating his mental will to the highest level.

No other movements appeared around him, it seemed that there had been only two Third Stage Wolf Monsters chasing the human capable of transforming. This also allowed Tang San to breathe easier, otherwise, his only choice would have been to flee.

Only then did he approach the human while maintaining vigilance.

As he got closer, he realized that the fur that had grown on that person had now disappeared, which accelerated his heartbeat a bit.

Given his young circumstances, and being unrelated to the transforming human, the most prudent approach would naturally have been not to intervene and wait for the Wolf Monster to leave. However, he still chose to act. One reason was that the one being pursued was a human. Another important reason was the transformation he had witnessed.

In the world of Douluo where Tang San was from, there was a kind of Soul Master with a Beast Soul who possessed similar abilities. They could also grow stronger by cultivating their Beast Soul.

If this world also had similar abilities, it would be greatly beneficial for him to learn them if he could, as it would enhance his strength and make it easier for him to blend into this world.

Tang San crouched down to turn the person over, but at that moment, the person, who had been lying motionless on the ground, suddenly flipped over, swinging a claw at him. And as he flipped over, the two, at such close range, saw each other's faces in the dim light.

The person's claw paused in mid-air, not continuing to strike down, while Tang San also sprang up in a flash, backing out of his attack range.

"Are you human?" The man's voice was somewhat hoarse. He appeared to be in his twenties, his complexion now pale as paper. He was still quite handsome despite the blood seeping from his nose and mouth.

As he spoke, his hand had already gone limp and fallen. By now, Tang San could see a large tear in the man's chest and abdomen, with intestines spilling out and profuse bleeding continuing.

Tang San nodded at him and then quickly moved to his side. The man seemed to have lost all his strength, lying pale on the ground, gasping for air in big gulps. His pupils were already starting to dilate.

Without hesitating, Tang San's hands quickly went to work. The man's biggest problem was excessive blood loss and ruptured internal organs; even with his current abilities, he couldn't save him. He could only try to extend his life a little longer.

He quickly tied a knot at the break in the intestines that had spilled out and stuffed them back into the abdominal cavity. Then he tore off the hem of the man's shirt to press on the wound, at the very least to prevent further rapid blood loss. Only then did he place his other hand on the man's chest, slowly infusing the chest cavity with the power of the Mysterious Heaven Method to protect the warm breath at his heart.

The man's panting gradually eased slightly, and a bit of light returned to his eyes.

"You, you're still a child... you..."

Tang San said, "I'm afraid your injuries are beyond saving. If you have any final wishes, I can help you fulfill them, but you need to answer one of my questions."

The youth was taken aback by the calmness in Tang San's voice, which was far beyond his years, then responded without any hesitation, "Okay. You ask first. If I can answer you, then I'll ask you for a favor."

Undoubtedly, this was the first rational and clear-minded human Tang San had encountered since arriving in this world. He definitely wasn't born a slave.

"How did you get the ability to transform just now? How can one possess it?" Tang San immediately asked the question he was most concerned about.

The young man was taken aback by his question and blurted out, "You mean you can't do the Demon God Transformation? Then how did you kill that Wolf Monster?"

"What is the Demon God Transformation? My ability is innate; I don't know what it is." Tang San said thoughtfully, also engraving the three words "Demon God Transformation" firmly in his mind.

The youth's eyes suddenly brightened, "Born with the ability to perform the Demon God Transformation? What is your ability?"

Tang San frowned slightly and said, "It's my turn to ask you questions now."

The young man took a few breaths and said, "The Demon God Transformation is a power inherited from the part of the bloodline that is connected between humans and the Monster Clan or the Spirit Clan."

Tang San's heart sank, "Do you mean to say, mixed blood?"

The youth gave a bitter smile and said, "Yes, only by this can we attain some power. Most people like me, who acknowledge themselves as human, are very rare. The majority of those with the Demon God Transformation Ability choose to become vassals to the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan, a status much higher than that of a regular human slave. Those of us here, we never consider ourselves as Monsters or Spirit Monsters; we just want humans to have the right to survive on their own and not be enslaved. That's why we rise up in rebellion. I attempted to assassinate the Wind Wolf Lord this time but misjudged and was seriously injured by him. That's how I ended up in this state."
