Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 164: Mei Gongzi’s Vigilance

Mei Gongzi replied, "He\'s quite young, younger than me. Oh, right, he must have bought milk tea from our shop before. He used to be very skinny, but he seems to have grown taller and looks a bit healthier."

Su Qin\'s heart stirred. "Are you talking about the one who came for the first time and we gave him a cup of milk tea? The one who was staring straight at you?"

Mei Gongzi nodded. "Yes, that\'s him. I don\'t know how he ended up working as a cleaner at Kali Academy recently, but I keep running into him."

"Well, just be careful. It\'s probably not a threat; maybe it’s just a coincidence. Take a chance to investigate and see what his Demonic God Transformation is. Also, ask his name," Su Qin said.

"Alright."

Night fell.

Tang San knew to leave the Redemption Academy quietly only after everything inside had settled down for the night.

He had squeezed every bit of Du Bai’s energy earlier, and he felt a massive amount of luck surrounding him. With his Discerning Eye of Heaven, he could vaguely see a white light swirling around him. It was definitely a cloud of explosive good fortune.

As usual, Redemption Academy was very quiet at night. Tang San planned to sneak in earlier than usual tonight, as he didn\'t intend to take the back door this time.

He found a shadowy spot by the courtyard wall and activated his Discerning Eye of Heaven. Instantly, he saw the faint red alarm barrier that extended from the surface of the wall and covered the entire academy like a protective bubble.

Tang San took a deep breath, his spiritual power pulsating as he began to adjust his own energy frequency. He didn\'t have a token to bypass the alarm, so all he could do was try to match the frequency by adjusting his own.

After two days of careful observation and understanding, he felt confident enough to proceed.

Gradually, a faint red light emanated from his body, a result of synchronizing his energy with the alarm\'s frequency based on the Mysterious Heaven Technique.

He slowly raised his right hand and gently pressed it against the wall.

This was the most critical moment; success or failure depended on the outcome of this touch.

When his right hand touched the wall, a faint red ripple appeared, and Tang San\'s gaze immediately turned sharp as he got ready to turn and run at any moment.

But the red ripple only spread slightly before calming down and merging with the red light emanating from Tang San, as if they were one and the same.

It works!

Tang San was overjoyed. He immediately pressed his body against the wall, and the red glow from his body gradually merged with the red light from the wall.

He clung to the wall, his fingers grasping the slightly protruding parts, and with a push of his legs, he lightly leaped to the top of the wall.

By this time, the red light on his body had completely merged with the alarm system\'s red light. With his strong spiritual power, he could clearly determine whether he had triggered the alarm under these conditions.

Indeed, his understanding of arrays was far ahead of this civilization’s, and it didn’t seem like he would run into any issues.

He vaulted over the wall and landed lightly on the ground. The first hurdle was successfully cleared.

Tang San couldn\'t help but praise himself inwardly, thinking that from now on, he wouldn\'t need to use the door anymore!

Without any delay, he quickly moved along the wall and through the shadows, soon arriving near the academy\'s store.

Once more, he hid in a corner, sitting still and observing.

It had been some time since a cabinet door in the academy store had mysteriously opened on its own. Tang San believed that this incident at the store must have passed by now. After all, nothing was lost and it was only a cabinet door to begin with, not a vault door, so it was probably brushed off as a one-time incident.

The guards were still those two eighth-order Mighty Apes. Their strength was unquestionable, but in terms of intelligence... well, they were smart compared to normal apes.

Tang San was in no hurry, just silently observing from the shadows. He suddenly had a strange thought: if his Celestial Fox Vision could reach the same order as these Mighty Ape demons, maybe he would be able to apply a lucky charm to himself and then simply stroll in, and they would just let him pass.

In all fairness, there was such a possibility. Right now, however, he couldn\'t determine how powerful a high-order Celestial Fox Vision would be, and he didn’t care to find out first-hand. Rather than facing a master of luck, he would feel safer confronting an enemy of a higher order. Without god-level cultivation, he had no intention of dealing with beings like the Celestial Foxes.

Time passed by the minute as he waited. At worst, he would wait four hours for the Mighty Ape demons to enter for their internal patrol.

But with the blessing of the Celestial Fox Vision, Tang San\'s luck was not bad. Only about twenty minutes later, it was time for the two Mighty Apes to conduct their internal patrol!

Compared to the last time he had been here, it seemed much easier to infiltrate.

As a user of the Celestial Fox Vision himself, he was a favored child of luck, and with Du Bai\'s added luck, good fortune was inevitable.

He waited silently for the Mighty Ape demons to finish their patrol and the doors to close again. At that moment, for Tang San, the academy store was now a very safe space. He had a whole four hours to do whatever he wanted.

Although he hadn’t taken anything with him on his last visit, he had still made significant gains. Now, if he wished, he could open the most important vault with the central system, just like the fox demon store manager did last time.

However, Tang San didn\'t rush to do so. Instead, he activated his Discerning Eye of Heaven and scanned the entire interior of the academy store.

The fourth-order Discerning Eye of Heaven was vastly different from the third order. Under its gaze, all the energy fluctuations here were visible, particularly the arrays within the cabinet doors. Tang San could almost see through them clearly, thanks to the subtle changes in energy.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he had deciphered the arrays covering the cabinet doors arranged outside of the counter. He could open any door he wanted without triggering the alarm.

After a thorough exploration of half an hour, Tang San finally reached the six vaults at the back.

He stopped before the most important vault, continuing to sense the energy changes within. The most crucial part was to see if there were any differences from that day.

It turned out that Kali Academy hadn\'t changed the defensive array.

As Tang San\'s palm showed wave after wave of energy ripples, bringing them slowly closer to the vault door, similar energy ripples also appeared on the surface of the vault door.

The ripples combined, and Tang San, with his spiritual power controlling the Mysterious Heaven Technique, simulated an energy key that perfectly matched the door-opening array.

With a soft sound, the vault door opened.

A faint smile appeared at the corners of Tang San\'s mouth.

The moment he stepped into the vault, he was immediately enveloped by a dense wave of energy.

Great stuff! This place is filled with treasures!

Kali Academy was the only high-level academy in the entire Kali City. Even members of the golden bloodline races studied here, hinting at the wealth contained within. Even if the items stored in the academy store were not Kali Academy\'s most precious treasures, they were rare and valuable items not commonly seen.
