Even from a distance, Mei Gongzi could still see clearly. She turned suddenly, just to see if he was doing something behind her back, but instead, she saw those eyes filled with deep emotions and tears that instantly slid down.

He...

Mei Gongzi felt her heart clench instantly, and she subconsciously clenched her hands. She felt her heartbeat skip a beat at that moment, and an indescribable pain surged through her.

What's wrong with me? What's happening to me?

Turning back around, she walked away quickly, her steps hurried.

Watching her leave, Tang San hurriedly wiped the tears from his face. He shook his head helplessly. Even after all this time, he was unable to control his emotions before her.

The following days suddenly returned to peace. During the day, Tang San swept the grounds and cultivated at Kali Academy. At night, he quietly sneaked into the academy store to continue improving his Blue Silver Emperor and nourishing his body by absorbing the spiritual energy of treasure plants.

The days passed simply and ordinarily. He remained a minor figure in Kali Academy and encountered no more trouble.

But for him, things were somewhat unusual because the number of times he saw Mei Gongzi inexplicably decreased. Even with the aid of the Celestial Fox Vision, it was the same.

The Redemption Academy organized another training session, and the effects of outdoor training were much more evident this time. Everyone's strength continued to improve.

Du Bai's spiritual power increased smoothly, gradually approaching the state of overflowing liquid spiritual power.

Thanks to the gains from the first training session, Cheng Zicheng, Gu Li, and Wu Bingji's strengths also improved rapidly.

Thus, a month passed.

Zhang Haoxuan finally returned.

Tang San had just returned from his work at Kali Academy when he saw Zhang Haoxuan waiting there. Zhang Haoxuan waved him over, and they went to his room together.

Tang San closed his door and said happily, "Master, you're finally back."

"How have you been lately? Any issues with your cultivation?"

Tang San shook his head. "Nothing much. Everything is normal. I'm still accumulating."

Zhang Haoxuan looked his disciple up and down. In the past month, Tang San seemed to have grown taller; he looked full of vitality and appeared slightly stronger. His overall energy and spirit had changed. Although the intensity of his bloodline aura fluctuations hadn't increased by any measurable margin, Zhang Haoxuan could still sense that Tang San had made progress overall.

In fact, during this month, Tang San's Wind Tiger Transformation remained at the peak of the sixth order. He still had not absorbed the bloodline power of the Winged Tiger King, which he forcibly sealed using the Chrono Croc Transformation imprint.

At the same time, his Blue Silver Emperor imprint had been cultivated to the peak of the sixth order, reaching the point where it could break through at any moment.

His physical strength had also become tougher with the augmentation from absorbing those treasure plants. He had grown taller and more robust than normal children at the same age.

Now, if he forcibly broke through to the seventh order, he could withstand it.

Besides this, the Discerning Eye of Heaven had been cultivated to the peak of the fourth order, and the Golden Roc Transformation and Chrono Croc Transformation had both reached the peak of the fifth order.

He was even slightly stronger than Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng. After all, cultivation within the same order was more about accumulation, and with his frequent interactions with them, Tang San was naturally able to absorb and accumulate, naturally reaching his current state.

In a sense, his cultivation had now reached a bottleneck.

Tang San wasn't anxious about this; cultivating the other four imprints to the peak of the sixth order wasn't something he could accomplish alone. He needed his companions to improve as well.

Since his imprints couldn't be further improved and the Mysterious Heaven Technique had also reached a bottleneck, Tang San had recently prioritized cultivating his spiritual power. He began using some rare treasures from the academy store that enhanced spiritual power to improve his own spiritual cultivation.

His method of cultivating spiritual power differed from Du Bai's. Not only did he continuously accumulate more liquefied spiritual power, but he also constantly expanded his sea of consciousness.

With that bit of divine consciousness present, his sea of consciousness was already much larger than that of ordinary people. While spiritual power nourished the divine consciousness, the divine consciousness, in turn, continuously nurtured his sea of consciousness. After all, the sea of consciousness was essentially the home of the divine consciousness.

Tang San, taking advantage of the situation, continuously expanded his sea of consciousness. The speed at which his spiritual power increased was much greater compared to his bloodline power. With the presence of divine consciousness, his sea of consciousness effectively had no bottleneck. This was the greatest benefit brought by his former life as a God King.

Right now, in terms of spiritual power alone, Tang San had already reached the level of a ninth-order demon powerhouse, and his sea of consciousness was much larger than that of an ordinary ninth-order demon. With the nurturing of divine consciousness, he wouldn't even face a bottleneck when breaking through to the god level in spiritual power.

Therefore, even though they both possessed the Celestial Fox Vision and could use the Celestial Fox Transformation to enhance their fortune, with both being at the fourth order, Tang San could control his fortune much longer than Du Bai.

Zhang Haoxuan nodded and said, "You've done well. The transition from the sixth to the seventh order is a qualitative leap. The stronger the bloodline, the more difficult the breakthrough. As for your bloodline, frankly, I can't tell if it’s strong or not. But you must be careful. You possess multiple Demonic God Transformation abilities, and the most important thing during the breakthrough is to avoid chaos. Be very careful."

"Don't worry, I will," Tang San nodded.

"Master, I've noticed that different levels of bloodlines seem to have varying degrees of qualitative change after breaking through to the seventh order. Is that correct?" Tang San asked.

Zhang Haoxuan nodded and said, "Theoretically, that's correct. You think so because you've seen how powerful Mei Gongzi is at the seventh order, right?"

Tang San nodded.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Don't compare yourself to her; her situation is quite unique and cannot be replicated."

"Hmm? Why?" Tang San asked curiously.

Zhang Haoxuan said, "Let me remind you again, her identity as a secret of Redemption must be strictly kept, even from your closest companions. Mei Gongzi's position in the organization is not just that of a Blue Class member. She holds the highest importance in the entire organization, surpassing even me and the chairman."

"The chairman?"

"Yes, the leader of our Redemption organization. Our organization has one chairman and four vice-chairmen. Only these five are Purple Class. Below that is the Blue Class. So now you understand why Mei Gongzi is Blue Class, right?"

Tang San said, "Well…no. You still haven't explained why her situation is unique and cannot be replicated."

Zhang Haoxuan said, "It's because her father is different from other demons. Or rather, her mother is too different. Her father, the Peacock Great Demon King, dotes on her and her mother. He used his own essence blood to lay the foundation for Mei Gongzi, greatly enhancing her bloodline purity. That's all I know."

Essence blood?! Tang San was shocked. The essence blood of demons was extremely precious. Its extraction could generally only be performed by the individual themselves. Otherwise, even if they were killed, pure essence blood couldn't be extracted. Using essence blood to enhance the bloodline purity of descendants was not something the demon clan would do lightly, as extracting essence blood weakened one's own bloodline origin.

This was different from the essence blood Tang San used to attract the Winged Tiger King. Tang San's cultivation was based on the Mysterious Heaven Technique, not his bloodline. The foundation of the demon clan was their bloodline origin.

Mei Gongzi and her Peacock Great Demon King father were indeed special. No wonder that, despite being a human hybrid, she was completely different from other human vassals. Or rather, she couldn't be considered a vassal at all.

Her ability to awaken the Peacock Golden Crown was clearly related to her father’s act of helping her enhance her bloodline purity.
