Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 88: The Fifth Imprint, Golden Roc Wings

When Tang San merged the wind blades during the day, even the teachers couldn\'t figure out how he did it. Now, as he demonstrated slowly with clearly spinning wind blades, it was much more evident.

Arrangement, frequency! These two key terms were deeply imprinted in Wu Bingji\'s mind.

"Thank you, Little Tang," said Wu Bingji, feeling inspired. "Let\'s call it a day. I think I can\'t deal with anything else for now. I need to digest this properly. Thanks again. I\'ll be heading back now."

Saying this, Wu Bingji stood up, bowed slightly to Tang San, then turned and left without hesitation. He cherished the inspiration he had just seized. This inspiration could even be his chance to break through to the seventh order soon!

Tang San watched Wu Bingji leave, and a faint smile appeared on his face as he thought, A teachable pupil he is indeed.

Seeing Wu Bingji leave, Cheng Zicheng looked at his departing figure for a moment, then back at Tang San. She laughed. "You\'re impressive, Tang San! Even the eldest senior brother recognizes your skill. I\'ll be taking my leave too. Thanks a lot!"

Tang San said, “You can try the things I suggested when you have time. Make the most of your strengths."

"Mhm, I got it. Thank you." The pretty little girl got up and ran out. He wasn’t sure whether she really did get it, but at least she remembered to close the door.

Watching her leave, Tang San sighed. Wu Bingji was truly adept at controlling the ice element, and he was indeed suitable for learning the Hidden Weapon Hundred Separations art, which would greatly aid his control over the ice element and enhance its offensive power.

Tang San\'s face showed a faint smile, and a gentle light appeared in his eyes. Today\'s gains were significant in every aspect. Right now, he was hesitating about integrating the Golden Roc Transformation bloodline imprint as his fifth.

In terms of hierarchy, Chrono Croc Transformation was certainly a better choice. The Chrono Croc Transformation would undoubtedly elevate his combat capabilities and overall strength. Of course, the Golden Roc Transformation would also give him an incredible advantage—the ability to fly, which was extremely useful for escaping if push came to shove.

His assessment of the Golden Roc Transformation for Cheng Zicheng was exactly on point. It was a demon species adept at flying, and that ability shone especially over long distances. However, he wasn\'t sure how he would soar after integrating the Golden Roc Transformation imprint. It was unlikely that he would grow wings like Cheng Zicheng.

Many flying demon species didn’t have flight as their bloodline ability; it was nothing more than their instinct. For example, when he previously absorbed some of the bloodline power of the White-Crested Falcon Demon, he found that its ability was Falcon Eye, not flight.

In any case, whatever the method, flying was important. Before reaching the God King level, if he wanted to fly, he could only do so by using a Demonic God Transformation\'s ability.

He could just disperse the Golden Roc Transformation if something better came along later. As for the Chrono Croc Transformation, he could first find a way to absorb and store it without integrating the imprint into his energy vortex.

With this in mind, he no longer hesitated. He returned to his bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique, initiating the integration of the Golden Roc Transformation.

As the energy of the Mysterious Heaven Technique circulated within him, his bloodline power surged naturally. The orange-yellow imprint representing the Golden Roc Transformation began to glow slowly under the stimulation of his internal energy. This glow made the imprint look soft, with a very interesting texture.

The feeling was bizarre; it differed from when he integrated other imprints. Maybe it was because the Golden Roc Transformation was of a higher level, but he felt some changes in his bloodline. His body\'s strength seemed to increase, especially his arm strength.

The other four imprints he already possessed also emitted a faint glow under the stimulation of the new Golden Roc Transformation imprint. It was clear that the latter was comprehensively enhancing Tang San\'s bloodline power.

The enhancement of bloodline power meant nourishment for his entire body. This nourishment would strengthen Tang San\'s physical constitution, allowing him to bear more energy.

The Mysterious Heaven Technique\'s body-tempering effect was already great. Now, aided by the stimulation of the five imprints, Tang San\'s blood surged within him, giving him a feeling of tumultuous waves coursing through his veins. His whole body warmed slightly, and his overall aura improved. This boost also hastened the absorption of the unfinished bloodline power from the Wind Wolf Town Lord, Feng Xiong, and it swiftly pushed Tang San’s cultivation toward the peak of the fifth order.

The Golden Roc Transformation was indeed something else! Although this bloodline power was only of the third order, it felt different from the previous four he had absorbed.

Is this a difference in level?

Tang San wondered. He decided to consult with the Mayor later.

Soon, the absorption of the Golden Roc Transformation imprint was complete.

Tang San opened his eyes.

The night outside had deepened by now, but Tang San\'s eyes became brighter. He took a slow, deep breath, stimulating the orange-yellow imprint within him as he circulated the energy of the Mysterious Heaven Technique.

Instantly, Tang San felt a strange power surge through him. His arms became noticeably more solid. The next moment, he saw two orange-yellow streaks of light extending from his arms, expanding outward, and transforming into two orange-yellow light wings.

The light wings seemed somewhat ethereal at first glance, but they were very much tangible, real items. As Tang San lightly waved his arms, the orange-yellow imprint within him brightened momentarily, and his body felt lighter. With a strong flap of the wings, he began to ascend!

Now in mid-air, he spread his wings and stimulated the Wind Wolf Transformation imprint. Wind elemental energy swirled around him, and with his wings wide open, he lightly hovered in mid-air.

Tang San\'s eyes shone brightly. He could indeed fly! This was impressive. Satisfied, he nodded in approval.

With a thought, he deactivated the Mysterious Heaven Technique, and the light wings on his arms disintegrated, dropping him back to the ground. The fifth imprint was fully integrated into his energy vortex, endowing him with the Golden Roc Transformation\'s ability to fly.

Until now, Tang San had not fully understood the peculiarities of this world, but he had begun to develop a fondness for it. He was confident that this world\'s wonders were no less than those of the Douluo Continent he had once inhabited. The demons and nymphs here were indeed remarkable!

With this new ability to fly, he had a new trump card in store, and—more importantly—another path to survival if need be. He had also proven his strength to his teachers. Perhaps I could ask for a leave tomorrow?

Thinking this, warmth filled his heart, and his passion for cultivation surged. He returned to his bed and continued to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique with all he had, absorbing the Wind Wolf bloodline power left over from Feng Xiong.

At the Redemption Society, everything was as usual. The morning bell awakened the teachers and students from their cultivation. It was time for breakfast!

However, things had changed somewhat for Tang San. At breakfast today, he noticed that the way his senior brothers and sisters looked at him was different.

Although everyone had looked at him kindly the day before, most didn\'t pay him much attention. Today, however, whether it was the senior brothers and sisters already there when he arrived at the cafeteria or those who came after him, almost all heads turned to look at him immediately, and his colleagues took the initiative to greet him.

Yesterday\'s battle between him and Wu Bingji had left a deep impression on everyone. Wu Bingji\'s nine ice shields had barely withstood Tang San\'s wind blade. Naturally, everyone’s thought was, Could I handle that technique?
