Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

Tang San's fingers moved rhythmically, gently pinching the Wind Blade. Instantly, the blade was further compressed, transforming into a tiny, dark-green needle. Despite its small size, Mei Gongzi could distinctly feel the intense energy compressed within it.

Tang San said, "This is what I used to kill the scorpion. My spiritual power is strong enough to compress the wind elemental energy into this small form and keep it stable."

"Your spiritual power is that strong?" Mei Gongzi's eyes sparkled with a silvery light as she looked at Tang San.

Suddenly, Tang San felt a surge of spiritual force heading straight at him.

He looked at Mei Gongzi with clear, penetrating eyes, drawing his spiritual power inward.

Invisible spiritual waves rumbled.

The next moment, Mei Gongzi’s vision blurred momentarily as a fiery wave of spiritual intent rebounded instantly from Tang San, causing her to cry out in surprise. Her sea of consciousness churned from the impact, leaving her momentarily dazed; as her muscles instinctively relaxed, she dropped to the side.

"Be careful!" Tang San swiftly moved to her side, grabbing her arm.

Her arm was slender and felt warm and soft in his grasp. Remembering previous experiences, Tang San quickly let go after steadying her. "Sister Mei, are you alright?"

The Peacock Demons highly valued the cultivation of spiritual power. Her spiritual power was at the eighth order, and yet she had just made contact with Tang San's when it was instantly repelled, even suffering a rebound effect. Although not strong, it was more than enough proof that Tang San's spiritual power was above hers; nothing else could explain it. Moreover, it was clear that he had restrained himself to avoid hurting her.

Cultivation at the peak of the sixth order, coupled with ninth-order spiritual power, was simply monstrous!

Having ninth-order spiritual power naturally explained how he could kill an eighth-order demonic beast. With Mei Gongzi's experience and the advantage of her bloodline, her insight was much higher than that of ordinary demons. She naturally understood the immense importance of strong spiritual power. She could defeat eighth-order powerhouses, not just thanks to her powerful bloodline, but also due to her great spiritual power, which allowed her to utilize her bloodline power better.

The most crucial point was his age; he was younger than her and had incredible talent. The only pity was that his bloodline was somewhat weak; the Wind Wolf Transformation was merely a fourth-tier bloodline, and it was a matter of luck whether even the highest-level lineage could reach the third tier.

Seeing Mei Gongzi's astonishment, Tang San blinked naively and said, "I don’t know why it’s like this. My spiritual power has always been strong."

"Hmm," Mei Gongzi nodded. She knew that the Demonic God Transformation had many peculiarities, and anything was possible. She was an exceptional existence herself, so she could more readily accept Tang San's explanation.

"Sister Mei, you said you wanted me to help you with something?" Tang San asked.

Upon hearing his question, Mei Gongzi fell silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Tang San couldn't help but feel surprised. He could sense Mei Gongzi's conflicted emotions, unsure of what she was pondering. This conflict seemed to have arisen after she tested him.

When Mei Gongzi looked up at him again, there seemed to be a decision made in her heart. She said softly, "It's nothing. You can go back. I just wanted to see your capabilities."

Tang San furrowed his brows slightly, "Are you sure there’s nothing? If there’s anything you need me to do, just say it. I will do my best."

Mei Gongzi’s voice raised slightly. "I said it's nothing. You can go now."

Tang San looked at her deeply but did not press further. After several encounters, he had begun to understand his wife's character in this life. Unlike her carefree nature when they first met in their previous life, her current status as a member of the Redemption Society, and such a high-rank one at that, burdened her with many responsibilities that she had never known in their past life, so it was only natural for her personality to be different. It seemed that once she made up her mind, it was hard to change.

"Well, alright then." Tang San stood up but did not hurry to leave, noticing that Mei Gongzi seemed hesitant.

Mei Gongzi looked up at him and said, "Although the Wind Wolf Transformation is not a very powerful Demonic God Transformation, I have always believed that regardless of one's bloodline, there is a chance to become a true powerhouse. Bloodlines can evolve as long as you become strong enough. You have an extraordinary spiritual power talent, so you should focus on that in the future. Cultivate well and work hard; you are a member of the Redemption Society and our hope for the future. You will understand more once you break through to the god level."

"Hmm, thank you for the reminder, sister Mei," Tang San nodded.

In that instant, he suddenly had a realization. Despite Mei Gongzi's maturity far beyond her peers, she was still a thirteen-year-old girl. From her tone and her choice of words, Tang San could feel the reason for her change of mind: his talent. She didn't want him to take risks. Seeing his extraordinary spiritual power talent, she decided it was better for him to cultivate rather than help her with any task.

But how silly of you! For me, what could be more important than helping you? Not to mention I want to be alive so I can enjoy being with you.

However, Tang San did not insist, as he felt that it would not be appropriate. Moreover, he was now well aware of why Mei Gongzi was a Blue-Class Redeemer and was clearly being nurtured as one of the Society’s future leaders.

This had become clear to Tang San ever since he learned of Mei Gongzi's identity and saw Wang Yan trying to abduct her. It was simple—they wanted her status as the heir to the Peacock Demon clan.

The fact that someone of mixed blood was able to become the rightful heir of a major demon clan was absolutely mindblowing. Leaving aside Mei Gongzi’s own incredible talent, this was a unique chance for the entire Redemption Society. The Peacock Demon clan controlled Kali City, one of the main cities of the demon race. With only a handful of major cities for both the demon and the nymph races, if Mei Gongzi could take over the Peacock Demon clan and become the next Peacock Great Demon King, it would be an absolutely monumental event for the Redemption Society.

Therefore, everything she was doing now had to be in preparation to inherit the throne in the future. Tang San could only imagine the difficulties she faced. There had to be tremendous resistance within the Peacock Demon clan itself, as well as from the Ancestral Court and even the nobles of Kali City. For someone like her, with human blood, to aspire to inherit the throne….

The contemplative look in Mei Gongzi's eyes had vanished. She stood up and said to Tang San, "In the coming period, there may be some incidents in Kali City, perhaps even unrest. You don't need to know too much. Keep out of sight, spend more time cultivating in the academy when you’re free, and don't go wandering into the city, let alone outside of it, understand?"

"What's going to happen?" Tang San asked.

Mei Gongzi shook her head and said, "You don't need to know for now. Knowing won't be of any significance to you. Just remember what I said and do as I've told you. When it's time for you to know, you will naturally find out. Go now."

As she spoke, she waved her hand at him.

"Okay." Tang San nodded, looking deeply at her beautiful face again, "Sister Mei, whenever it is and whatever it is, I am at your command."

After saying this, Tang San then turned and left.

Watching his departing figure, Mei Gongzi's gaze softened, and her expression also became gentle, as if she had taken off a mask. She sat back down on her chair.

Having observed him for a while now, she knew that he was extraordinary, and she felt rather peculiarly about him. What lingered in her mind were the scenes of their few encounters.

She clearly remembered how Tang San looked at her during their first meeting. At that time, he was much thinner and still looked like a little child. However, the gaze in his eyes was more complex than anything she'd ever seen, revealing countless emotions as he glanced at her.
