Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

Mu Enqing comforted Tang San, saying, "Don't worry. The teachers are just examining your body to see where your Demonic God Transformation has mutated. This will help us tailor our teaching to your needs and better develop your abilities."

Indeed, after the two battles Tang San participated in today, the teachers almost unanimously agreed that his Demonic God Transformation must have mutated. How else could he display such formidable power? It defied all conventional understanding.

But where the mutation occurred was crucial. Research on Demonic God Transformations was ongoing among humans. Especially for someone like Tang San, who exhibited such strength at a young age, it was extremely rare and not to be overlooked.

When Tang San used the Wind Blade ability, his body showed no physical transformation, no parts turning into anything resembling the body parts of a Wind Wolf. This was similar to Wu Bingji's Ice Nymph Transformation, which was purely an energy-based change. However, the bloodline fluctuations in Tang San's body resembled those of the Wind Wolf demon, not an elemental wind body. Thus, in terms of pure elemental control strength, he was inferior to Wu Bingji's Ice Nymph Transformation. However, what was astonishing was his exceptional control over the wind element. Despite the inherent weakness of the wind element compared to the ice element, he compensated by compressing it, enhancing the intensity of the energy to a level that even surpassed that of Wu Bingji.

Si Ru, Guan Longjiang, and Mu Enqing had all noticed that Tang San was somewhat holding back. Otherwise, it was questionable whether Wu Bingji could have won the match.

This showed that Tang San possessed maturity and composure far beyond his years, which was quite remarkable. Additionally, considering how the mayor had eagerly taken him as a disciple on his first day, the teachers' curiosity about Tang San had significantly increased.

Tang San nodded in response, showing no sign of dissatisfaction.

Si Ru frowned slightly and asked, "Tang San, tell us, how do you control the wind element?"

Tang San paused, then said, "I can actually see the elemental energy, and it listens to me, so I can control it. I kept playing with the element after I noticed that, and it listened to me more and more. I tried to make it work in different ways, and I found that some of them were actually practical, so I can use the wind energy to produce a couple of different effects."

Having arrived here, Tang San knew these teachers were different from his former teacher, Wang Yanfeng. They were both more experienced and far more powerful. Therefore, his adept control of the wind element would surely arouse suspicion and curiosity. Since the mayor had instructed him not to reveal the secret of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, he had to explain it differently. He already had a plan in mind, having expected that something like this might happen, and he did not panic.

"You can observe the elements?" Si Ru's interest was piqued. "Then tell us, what does the wind element look like?"

Tang San said, "They are individual points of light, green in color. They are lively, constantly moving in joy. They love freedom and hate constraints. If I try to restrict them, they become irritable. But if I let them move freely, they are happy to do what I ask them."

His profound understanding of the elements was evident; he had described their characteristics in just a few words.

Upon hearing his description, Guan Longjiang and Mu Enqing's gaze involuntarily turned towards Si Ru.

Si Ru nodded slightly and said, "He's right. I believe he can see the wind elemental energy. Otherwise, his understanding of the elements couldn't be so profound. Wow, we've found a treasure! This kid has an exceptional talent for controlling the wind element. I'm almost certain that his Wind Wolf bloodline is a mutation, and the mutation is specifically in whatever aspect allows him to control the wind element. In this regard, he has a unique perception of elemental energy, and his spiritual strength has also been enhanced thanks to this perception. To sum it up, his excellent control over wind is due to a high affinity with it as well as his strong spiritual power."

He looked intently at Tang San and said, "Tang San, the mayor is not skilled in elemental abilities, as you should know. In our academy, the one most adept at using elements is me. Therefore, I think it's inappropriate for the mayor to instruct you, especially when he's busy. Why don't you consider taking me as your master instead? I will guide you in your cultivation of elemental abilities."

Guan Longjiang coughed, “Old Si, that's not right. How can you compete with the mayor for a disciple? I have gained a deeper understanding of the elements over these years. I have been directly instructing Wu Bingji. Why don't you join in? I'll guide both of you. It won't be long before you reach the sixth order.”

Mu Enqing turned his head away. Being an honest man, he felt somewhat embarrassed by these two earnestly competing for a disciple.

Tang San looked at the two of them, now understanding the mayor's previous admonition. The mayor had anticipated this scenario.

"The teacher said that within the academy, one can only acknowledge one teacher formally. Perhaps you should discuss it with him? I don't know what to do."

He was clearly shifting the responsibility, and they knew it, but they couldn’t blame him. How could he make such a choice at this moment?

From Tang San’s perspective, it was in fact an easy choice. For one, he had already acknowledged a master and he was not planning to renege on the agreement. In addition, the mayor knew his secret, and even if that hadn’t been the case, he still couldn't risk offending someone so powerful.

"That bastard," Si Ru muttered resentfully, "leading the youth astray! I'll go find him."

As he said this, a blue-purple light flashed around him, and in the next instant, he had vanished into thin air.

Lightning!

In an instant, Tang San felt the power Si Ru had just used, and his surprise only grew even more. Perhaps Si Ru was right—he might be the strongest in the academy in terms of elemental cultivation. Not only was he at the god level, but he controlled lightning of all things. Lightning was known for its explosive nature, and the lightning of such a high-level cultivator had to be truly formidable.

Guan Longjiang helplessly said, "Tang San, you should head back for now. We'll talk about this matter later. Focus on your cultivation. You have great potential; do your best to improve your cultivation level soon. You can start taking on tasks directly. Tell Du Bai and Cheng Zicheng to lead you to the task board. The academy will also organize some beneficial tasks for you to participate in. You might want to check out the academy's small store. Some things would suit you, but you'll need to earn the money to buy them. The academy maintains fairness in this regard, and no matter how good you are, you will get no favoritism."

"Yes," Tang San agreed, the key terms "taking tasks" and "small store" becoming clear in his mind.

Today's practical exercise had been a test for him, and having passed it, these privileges were now open to him. He would need to check them out to familiarize himself with the place.

As Tang San went to find Du Bai and Cheng Zicheng, at the mayor's residence, the mayor stood in the center of a room, respectfully bowing toward the main seat.

"Saint Mother," Mayor Zhang Haoxuan said, bowing with deep respect.

"Mayor Zhang, please, don't be so formal." She slowly raised her right hand as she spoke, revealing a blue pattern on her palm. The mayor glanced at it and immediately smiled, nodding toward her.

The woman sitting in the seat of honor was dressed in a light blue long dress, and her head was covered with a conical hat that had a veil hanging down, concealing her face. Even the air around her body seemed somewhat ethereal.

"How have you been recently, Saint Mother?" Zhang Haoxuan asked with a smile.

"I've been well. It's been calm lately, no major incidents. How are things at the academy? Are the children doing well?" the Saint Mother asked with a smile.

Zhang Haoxuan replied, "Everything is going smoothly, and everyone is working diligently. Oh, actually, we recently welcomed a new member, someone we discovered among the Wind Wolf tribe. This child is special; his Wind Wolf transformation bloodline has probably mutated. He is only nine years old, and his cultivation has already reached the fifth order. We've thoroughly checked his background; there are no issues, so we've accepted him into the academy. He's already studying here."
