BXBX NOVEL Chapter 161: Fourth Order Changes
Chapter 161: Fourth Order Changes
The Celestial Fox Vision was unquestionably a unique gift, yet its users were bound to experience physical frailty, the price for wielding control over fortune.
Tang San\'s uniqueness lay in his ability to control multiple bloodline abilities simultaneously, transcending the norms of this world thanks to the Mysterious Heaven Technique. To this world, he was an independent, external anomaly, but with his successive integration of Chrono Croc Transformation and Celestial Fox Transformation, it was as if he had deceived this plane of existence, becoming a part of this world.
According to Guan Longjiang\'s accounts about Demonic God Transformation and the bloodlines of demon and nymph clans, it was not unheard of to find beings with two or sometimes even more bloodlines. Usually, those with dual bloodlines could have amazing talent in either or both; those with multiple bloodlines, however, were almost invariably weaklings, as the purity of each bloodline wasn’t strong enough for them to cultivate into powerful beings.
However, Tang San was different. The most significant distinction was that his bloodline improvement didn’t come as a result of inheritance, but through devouring and absorbing the bloodline power of others, using the Mysterious Heaven Technique to transform it into new bloodline imprints or further enhance those he already had. In theory, as long as his body could endure it, all his bloodline imprints could become stronger at the same time. These imprints actually aligned with the martial soul and martial rings of his previous life.
Today was the first time Tang San truly experienced the power of the Celestial Fox Vision. With its sudden advancement to the fourth order, he managed to prevent an eighth-order powerhouse from pursuing him due to sheer luck. And this was only the fourth order!
To ordinary people, luck seemed elusive, but he, who was once a God King, understood clearly that luck was indeed a part of strength, and a very important part at that.
Could he have traversed to the Soul Land universe after his suicide in his first life if not for luck? Could he have grown to become a God King, a uniquely blessed existence? Could he have found the reincarnation of his former wife shortly after arriving in this world? Certainly, there were chances, but how high were those chances?
No...all these events were tied to luck.
Upon first arriving in this world, Tang San was filled with unease, particularly about what his wife\'s reincarnation would become. Seeing the Wind Wolf Clan sacrifice human women on altars filled his heart with immense fear. He was truly terrified that his wife might become one of those sacrificed.
But luck still favored him, allowing him to finally find his wife. And it seemed that his reincarnated wife was faring quite well in this world, born into an exceptionally good family far surpassing ordinary humans.
Thus, after arriving in this world, Tang San grew to believe even more in luck...until, finally, he now possessed the ability to harness it!
The fourth order of the Celestial Fox Vision would undoubtedly be of great assistance to him, allowing him to comprehend the mysteries of the Celestial Fox Vision further.
His Celestial Fox Transformation came from Du Bai. However, without Tang San’s assistance, Du Bai might never have been able to advance in his lifetime. Now, with Tang San\'s own bloodline imprint at the same order, his experience and the way he could explore guiding this powerful bloodline with the divine consciousness were things Du Bai could not even dream of. Under his guidance, Du Bai might continue to advance, and Tang San would improve alongside him, creating a virtuous cycle.
He would now have to replenish the drained physical and spiritual energy by meditating and cultivating, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Thus, Tang San quickly entered a state of deep meditation.
Today\'s infiltration of the Kali Academy had failed. As a result, the academy’s vigilance might be heightened, which would make further attempts even more difficult. However, the breakthrough of the Celestial Fox Transformation made it completely worth it to Tang San, even with the drawbacks of the failed infiltration, especially since that also meant Tang San\'s Discerning Eye of Heaven had advanced to the fourth order.

At dawn, Du Bai faced eastward, practicing his breathing and absorbing the auspicious purple qi from the east with Purple Demon Eyes.
"Hey Tang, what\'s with the dark circles today? Didn\'t sleep well last night, or did your meditation go sideways?" Du Bai glanced at Tang San beside him.
While absorbing the purple qi, Tang San shook his head and said, "I didn’t rest well yesterday. I had some things on my mind, and I couldn\'t meditate properly."
Du Bai patted his shoulder, looking like someone who had been through it all. "Don\'t overthink it. You\'re already doing great. Just keep it up. Once I become stronger, I\'ll have your back. My fortune will accompany you, granting you the greatest of luck."
Tang San smiled, "Thanks for that. Alright, let\'s do it now."
Du Bai nodded. This was his recent cultivation routine. Every early morning, after practicing the Purple Demon Eyes, he would fully exert the Celestial Fox Vision on Tang San, significantly depleting himself. He would slowly recover during the day\'s cultivation and learning and then do it again in the evening.
This continuous process of depletion and recovery made him much more proficient in using the Celestial Fox Vision. Moreover, such application stimulated the growth of his spiritual power, and the power of the Celestial Fox Vision gradually increased.
White light flickered in Du Bai\'s eyes, and vaguely, a white beam of light condensed on his forehead, splitting to both sides and transforming into a vertical eye. A subtle white halo enveloped Tang San, his entire body steaming with white energy. His body momentarily stilled, and the dark circles under his eyes faded somewhat the next moment, making him appear more spirited.
As the white light in Du Bai\'s eyes receded, he showed signs of exhaustion and tapped his forehead. “Whoa, I’m dizzy. That really took it out of me! But I\'m starting to understand how spiritual power links up with the Celestial Fox Vision. The way my spiritual power\'s turning into liquid is speeding up big time. I bet in a year, at most, all the spiritual power in my sea of consciousness will be liquid. And there should be a lot more of it, too. Seriously, all credit to the Purple Demon Eyes."
Tang San chuckled. "It\'s all thanks to your hard work. You know I\'ve been at Kali Academy lately, right? Once I get the hang of things there, if I meet some students, I\'ll get them to scout out stuff in the academy\'s store that can boost your spiritual power and pick them up for you."
"Great!" Du Bai\'s eyes lit up, "Then I\'ll give you all my money. By the way, when are we going out for practical training? I tell you, we\'re all pretty eager. Everyone\'s just waiting for you."
Tang San\'s eyes flickered, "Let\'s wait another week or two. Let your power stabilize a bit more. Then we\'ll go again."
"Okay!" Du Bai instantly felt less tired.
The gains from their last training were truly immense; almost everyone\'s strength had improved to varying degrees. Compared with the other two groups, their improvement was much more significant. The eldest senior brother, Wu Bingji, was undoubtedly the top student of the academy. And Gu Li, after learning the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique and advancing his Chrono Croc Transformation to the fifth order, had improved his already considerable combat power and was now arguably the second strongest after Wu Bingji.
Cheng Zicheng\'s Golden Roc Transformation had also reached the fifth order, and her use of the Golden Wing Splitting Wind Slash was becoming more and more proficient. She was invincible in the recent internal sparring sessions, defeating many previously stronger opponents.
Without a doubt, all these changes were the result of their last expedition. Now, everyone was eager to go out for training again.
