Chapter 167: The Second Training Expedition, Let’s Go!

In just five days, he felt he had undergone a complete transformation.

To the Redemption Society teachers and students, Tang San seemed to have grown taller and more robust recently. His brows and eyes appeared more open, and he looked increasingly pleasing to the eye.

Finally, the time for the second training expedition was approaching.

Early in the morning, Tang San and his group of five were all packed and ready to leave.

After breakfast, Guan Longjiang called the five of them over.

"I know that your last expedition was very successful, and each of you has grown in strength. But I want to tell you that your success last time was largely due to luck, and luck won\'t always be with you."

He paused, suddenly realizing something, glanced at Du Bai, coughed, and then continued, "Therefore, remember that this journey is not just for the growth of your powers, but more importantly, to better understand how to attract fortune and avoid disaster, how to protect yourselves, and how to survive in unfamiliar environments. Safety is always the priority because only the living have a future."

At this point, he paused and turned his gaze to Wu Bingji, saying, "Bingji, as the eldest brother, you must set an example for your junior brothers and sisters. Lead everyone well, and prioritize safety above all. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Teacher," Wu Bingji respectfully replied, but his gaze unintentionally stopped at Tang San, who was beside him.

Can I lead everyone? It\'s just a nominal role, I suppose.

Following his gaze, Guan Longjiang\'s eyes fell directly on Tang San, "Tang San, I know you\'re full of cunning ideas. But remember, no matter how talented or smart you are, you must not recklessly take risks, as this concerns the lives of your teammates. Last time, you almost suffered a great loss. Recall the moments when you nearly perished."

"Yes, Teacher Guan," Tang San quickly responded.

At this moment, he was thinking about other matters altogether. Today should be the day Mei Gongzi and her group also set off. The timing should be slightly staggered, but their directions were the same. He needed to observe more, maintain a certain distance, and not get too close to avoid being detected, but also not stray too far away. In case of danger, he needed to be able to help in time.

"Alright, let\'s set off," Guan Longjiang said, naturally noticing Tang San\'s somewhat distracted state and feeling helpless inside.

But what more can I say?

Talking about luck, last time, even with Du Bai being only third-order, they managed to escape from the jaws of a seventh-order peak Winged Tiger, even turning the tables on it. Their overall gains were greater than the other two groups’ combined. The increase in the strength of Du Bai and Gu Li was a great boost for the entire Redemption Society.

Initially, the organization planned to move them to a safer place, but the improvements in Celestial Fox Vision and Chrono Croc Transformation delayed this decision. Perhaps this place was more suitable for their advancement and cultivation.

Du Bai was at the fourth order, Gu Li and Cheng Zicheng were at the fifth order, and Tang San and Wu Bingji were at the sixth order. There were not many young teams like this in the Redemption Society.

Wu Bingji was Guan Longjiang’s direct disciple, and he had witnessed his disciple\'s significant progress.

Guan Longjiang was well aware of Tang San\'s guidance to Wu Bingji in using the ice element. Wu Bingji had nothing to hide from his teacher. When Guan Longjiang learned the intricacies of their practice, he was astounded. He even felt that Tang San seemed more like Wu Bingji\'s teacher than he was. Since Tang San\'s arrival, although Wu Bingji was still at the sixth order, his strength had improved tremendously.

His perception and application of ice elemental energy had brought him close to the peak of the sixth order. Advancing to the seventh order was basically just a matter of time.

All these changes began from the moment Tang San arrived. Because of this, the organization investigated Tang San\'s background several times, but the results were always the same—naturally, since there really was nothing wrong about Tang San’s background.

What Guan Longjiang hadn\'t told Tang San was that his mentor, Wang Yanfeng, the three Wang brothers, and Ling Muxue were all going to be brought into the Redemption Society. The hope was to see if another prodigy like Tang San could emerge among them.

"With that, let\'s set off!" With Guan Longjiang\'s command, Tang San\'s team embarked on their second training journey.

The other students watched, aware of Tang San\'s team\'s achievements from their first outing. When they had gone out for training, everyone had been full of determination, believing that they could achieve what Tang San\'s team achieved, even if not to the same extent.

However, the reality was far different. They had tried hard, but when facing demonic beasts and life-threatening crises, they had often panicked. Without the teachers\' timely rescue, there would surely have been casualties. As for their final gains...they didn’t even want to think about it.

As Tang San\'s team set off on their second training expedition, everyone wanted to see whether their success in the first was due to luck or if they were truly far superior in capabilities.

There were those who wished to join Tang San\'s team, like Zhang Zebin, who had been defeated by Gu Li. He couldn\'t understand how his juniors had become so strong that he was left powerless against them.

However, the academy thought it best to reconfirm Tang San\'s team\'s capabilities before considering a redistribution of the training groups.

They entered the Kali Mountains from the back mountain, a path all too familiar.

Wu Bingji led the way, with Cheng Zicheng flying low. Gu Li and Du Bai walked in the middle, and Tang San at the rear. The group of five swiftly moved forward, soon disappearing into the forest.

"Du Bai, how do you think our luck will be this time?" Gu Li nudged Du Bai, walking in front of him.

Du Bai chuckled and said, "With me here, our luck will surely be as bright as the sun! Couldn\'t be better."

Gu Li smirked, "Mascot, I\'ve noticed you\'ve been pretty flamboyant lately!"

Du Bai\'s mood was indeed incomparable to the past. Before, when people called him a mascot and teased him, he snapped back, disappointed at his own inability to compete with his fellow students. But recently, he had been far more spirited and active, and he took his mascot role very seriously.

"Confidence comes from strength, you know?" Du Bai said somewhat proudly.

The continuous improvement of his spiritual power, the progress of liquefying his spiritual power, and the effective cultivation of Purple Demon Eyes made him feel a breakthrough to a fifth-order Celestial Fox Vision was not impossible. How could he not be in high spirits? Moreover, he could now use the spiritual impact of the Purple Demon Eyes, so he was no longer powerless in a fight.

After about two hours of travel, they went deep into the Kali Mountains. Wu Bingji ordered a rest, and everyone stopped at a higher ground to rest and regroup.
