Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

Chapter 61: Entering Kali City Again

Outside Kali City.

The tiger man stopped and quietly removed his mask, revealing the middle-aged face that Tang San had seen before.

From a distance, they could already see the tall walls of Kali City and the towering mountains on either side.

When he first came here, Tang San noticed the temperature and energy level difference between inside and outside the city walls. As one of the main cities of the demon race, the prosperity of this city left a deep impression on him. Of course, it was a prosperity that humans could not really partake in.

The tiger man handed a token over and said, “Tang San, take this. "

Tang San took the token and saw it was green, carved from wind spirit stone, and of higher quality than any he had seen. One side was carved with a wolf's head, while the other had engraved a few words in the characters of the demon language.

It likely recorded his name and affiliation. Naturally, it was the Wind Wolf clan, but it was no longer the clan branch living in the small Wind Wolf Town. Instead, it was the Wind Wolf Ancestral House in Kali City.

Without a doubt, this was an official vassal token. With this token, Tang San now had a formal status in the world of the demon race, which protected him from being arbitrarily slain by demons.

"Remember, from now on, you are a human vassal of the Wind Wolf Ancestral House. Your parents also serve the Wind Wolf King as vassals in the Ancestral House, so you received a vassal's status at a young age. If you're questioned, just say that. This vassal identity token is genuine and can withstand scrutiny. Don't panic if you encounter any patrols.

"You don't need to go to the Wind Wolf Ancestral House. This is just an identity token prepared to match your Demonic God Transformation," the tiger man explained.

"Senior, how should I address you?" Tang San asked.

Hearing Tang San address him as “senior,” the tiger man was visibly startled, evidently unaccustomed to this address.

"Senior? I guess you can call me that, yeah. My name is Zhang Tianxiao, and I am affiliated with the Redemption Society of Kali City," the tiger man said with a smile.

"Does this mean I am now a part of the Redemption Society?" Tang San asked.

Zhang Tianxiao shook his head and replied, "The organization still needs to conduct a series of assessments on you. Of course, the most important is your training. The organization chose you at such a young age because of your talent. In your upcoming studies and cultivation, you must give it your all. It's pointless to speak of grand principles now. Don't you want to avenge your mother? For that, you need greater strength. And to protect yourself, you also need strength."

"Understood," Tang San nodded.

Zhang Tianxiao led Tang San into Kali City. The city gate was no different from the last time he was there. They walked along the edge of the road, actively avoiding the demons strolling along.

Inside Kali City, the temperature was much warmer than outside, and it felt cozy and comfortable. The city was still bustling with activity, filled with various types of demons as far as the eye could see.

Different demon races' status could be discerned by the part of the streets that they walked on. Those daring to walk in the center of the roads were usually from stronger demon races. Of course, they also actively made way if they encountered even stronger races. There was a clear hierarchy among the demon races, and it seemed that it was well-respected.

"Senior, where are we going now?" Tang San asked quietly.

Zhang Tianxiao glanced at him and said, "To the academy."

"Academy?"

Tang San was momentarily stunned. This word held significant meaning for him!

In his previous life in the Douluo Continent, the academy he joined in his youth later became the top academy on the continent due to the excellence of their batch of disciples. He still clearly remembered the slogan of that academy: Shrek only accepts monsters.

After coming to the Daemon Continent, he had never imagined that there would also be academies in this world.

Surprised by this, Tang San inquired, ”An academy for demons? I thought the demon races all followed a family inheritance."

Zhang Tianziao explained, ”Back when you lived in that remote town, your understanding of this world was limited. Of course, demon races have their academies, and there are clear rankings. But not all demons are eligible to enter these academies. The academies of the demon races are open only to the nobles of various demon clans. It’s not only a matter of class, either, the cost is also exceptionally high. But the academy I'm taking you to is not one of the demon academies, it’s our own. Redemption Academy!"

Tang San was startled. "Redemption Academy? The Redemption Society has its own academy?"

This was truly beyond his expectations. He had seen clearly over the years what status humans held.

Could Redemption Society, resistance organizations, and even human vassals affiliated with demon clans have their own academy? Zhang Tianxiao had mentioned that not everyone, even among the demons, could study in an academy.

Zhang Tianxiao smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll see when we arrive. Redemption Society has existed for many years; we always have our ways. Otherwise, wouldn't we have perished long ago? To survive in front of such powerful demon clans, we naturally have some means."

Kali City was vast. Although he had been here once, Tang San was unfamiliar with the terrain. However, Zhang Tianxiao was very familiar with it. He walked briskly, leading Tang San through streets and alleys within the city.

After walking for an hour and a half, according to Tang San's sense of direction, they were now somewhere in the eastern district of Kali City, fairly close to the city center.

Zhang Tianxiao slowed his pace.

Tang San observed his surroundings. He noticed that the street they were walking on was very wide. To the right, or east side of the street, lay the foothills of rolling mountains. These mountains formed natural walls to the sides of Kali City. The foothills extended downward into the city, and the edge of these foothills was precisely where they were now.

On the hillside, structures were built on various heights. Around these structures, trees of many different kinds stood tall, enveloping the buildings within.

Zhang Tianxiao explained as they walked, "The most prosperous and prestigious area of Kali City is the city center, where only the ancestral homes of the major families are built. Apart from the city center, the eastern side is the most affluent area. It's generally inhabited by nobles who are independent of the clans. For instance, if you are of the noble class from the Wind Wolf Clan, you can buy and build your own house without depending on the clan. The demon nobles in this area are also the wealthiest.”.

Tang San memorized his words carefully, knowing this information was crucial for understanding how things worked in Kali City. After all, he knew he would probably live here for a long time. He was only nine years old, so it would be hard for him to leave on his own, not to mention that he was aware that Mei Gongzi was in this city, so he didn’t want to leave anyway. Learning more about his surroundings and getting a deeper understanding of the demon clans was very important.

The two continued forward, and in the distance, Tang San saw a dense forest. It wasn't until they approached the forest that Tang San noticed a wide avenue extending into its center.

As they entered the forest area along the avenue, he immediately felt the air around them become fresher, and the elemental energy more abundant and comfortable.
