Cheng Zicheng stuck out her tongue. "Who knew he was at the fifth order? I'm not familiar with him."

Mu Enqing's face became stern. "Oh, so because you’re not familiar with him, you just jumped at him? Are you five? It’s the exact opposite. When you don’t know the enemy, you should use your strengths to probe the enemy first. Where was your probing? You were only thinking of beating your opponent quickly so you could show off. In actual combat, mindset is the most important, and that’s a losing mindset. You need to use your strengths against the enemy's weaknesses. With the wrong mindset, no matter how strong you are, you might still fail.

"See, Tang San did exactly what you should have done: he used his strength to prevent you from using yours. His first thought was to restrict your flight, so he used his wind blades to block all your aerial routes. At that moment, he had already won. Of course, his combat skills are also much better than yours. And more importantly, from beginning to end, he kept his calm. How about you? For Tang San, there's nothing much for me to assess in this battle; he did very well."

Cheng Zicheng turned her head and glared at Tang San, who responded with a slight smile and an apologetic look.

Du Bai nudged Tang San from the side. "Little Tang, I didn't expect you to be this powerful. Do you want to be my guardian? I heard that every powerful Celestial Fox in the tribe has a guardian. Guardians protect the Celestial Foxes, it’s a very important task."

Tang San glanced at him sideways. "Thanks, but you’d waste such a good opportunity on someone unskilled like me. I’d say you should leave that task to someone else."

Du Bai rolled his eyes, "Do you realize what you're missing? You're missing the chance to guard the great Celestial Fox Vision!"

Tang San shrugged his shoulders but said nothing.

Mu Enqing's commentary continued, naturally moving on to the battle between Gu Li and Zhang Zebin.

His gaze first fell on Gu Li. "You were still impatient in the battle. Just like your junior sister, you failed to utilize your greatest advantage fully. You knew your opponent was depleting your bloodline power by leveraging his cultivation advantage, and yet you didn't change your strategy. Your loss was well-deserved."

Gu Li lowered his head, saying, "Teacher, my attack power is too weak to break through his defense. What can I do if he decides to drain my energy? It's too disadvantageous for me. If I want to be effective, I need a partner with strong offensive abilities."

Mu Enqing nodded, "You are right in that regard. Your offensive capabilities are weaker compared to your defense and control. However, each ability has its strengths and weaknesses, and flaws are normal. In such situations, even if you can't defeat your opponent, you should try to control your bloodline power consumption better, so you can prolong the fight while finding ways to deplete your opponent's bloodline power. For example, choose the moments when your opponent intensifies their bloodline power to disrupt them and make them consume more. Even a fourth-order against a fifth-order doesn't necessarily mean there's no chance."

"Yes, sir." Gu Li nodded respectfully, looking quite sincere.

Mu Enqing turned to Zhang Zebin and said, "You also have many issues. Knowing that his control is strong, why didn't you choose to move around more in the initial part? Although it's also exhausting for Gu Li, how many times did he hit you and how much did you hit him? You would be dead if his attack was stronger and broke your defense. When you’re facing someone with strong control but limited control time, keeping as much distance as possible is the best choice. Your safety is your top priority. You have the ability to attack with long-range fire, so why not make good use of it? What's the use of just charging in blindly? Your energy depletion wasn’t small, either. You would have been the loser if he held on for a few more minutes."

Zhang Zebin, with a pained expression, nodded repeatedly.

Next, Mu Enqing pointed out the problems each student faced in actual combat and offered methods for improvement. However, his explanations were of little use to Tang San. With Tang San's keen eye, he could see more problems than Mu Enqing could point out.

"The last match, and the most spectacular of the day, was Tang San's. He might say he lost, but in my eyes, he didn't. Bingji would have lost if that last attack had been just a bit stronger. Now that I think about this battle carefully, I see that both sides responded almost perfectly, especially Tang San. He dominated the match until the end, and he only lost due to a lower cultivation level. His control over the wind element surpassed Bingji's control over the ice element.

“The ability to compress elemental energy to such an incredible degree is something I have never seen in a student, and unleashing such powerful attacks with the ordinary Wind Blade ability of the Wind Wolf Transformation is something new to me as well. Today, I have no critiques for him, only praise. In the use of abilities and actual combat, although he's the youngest, he seems to be performing better than all of you."

Wu Bingji thoughtfully pondered, showing no impatience despite his teacher’s criticism.

"In terms of strength, the wind element is inferior to the ice element and less stable. Therefore, controlling it is much harder. Under these circumstances, Tang San’s control is awe-inspiring. This is a rare talent. Everyone should learn from Tang San in terms of control."

In today's practical class, Tang San became famous after two battles, particularly against Wu Bingji. This earned him everyone's attention and recognition of his strength.

The Wind Wolf Transformation was undoubtedly the weakest among all the Demonic God Transformations. Still, Tang San had skillfully utilized it to master the Wind Blade, eliminating any underestimation from his fellow students.

Just as Tang San was about to go rest, the teachers called out to him after the practical class.

"Come with us," Si Ru said with a smile.

Tang San followed the three teachers into a large wooden cabin.

Si Ru's eyes twinkled, and suddenly, Tang San felt as if the air in the room became viscous, and his body seemed to become transparent, sending a shock through his heart.

This is...

Almost subconsciously, he connected with his Wind Wolf imprint. His eyes flickered with a green light as the energy of his Mysterious Heaven Technique instantly transformed into the Wind Wolf Transformation's power. However, the surrounding wind elemental energy was utterly isolated, rendering it unusable.

"How strange! There's a significant difference, but the origin seems to still be of the Wind Wolf lineage. What's going on here?" Si Ru pondered aloud.

At that moment, Tang San was equally shocked, if not even more so.

The sensation just now, although not overwhelming, made one thing sure to him: the entity probing him was not merely a spiritual force but divine consciousness!

Although this divine consciousness probing him was nothing compared to his own when he was a God King, it was still divine consciousness—the power of an actual god-level presence.

Tang San never expected that the first god-level powerhouse he would encounter would be a human, a being he perceived as frail.

In the Redemption Society, the strongest was not the mayor but Si Ru, the teacher before him.

He recalled the mayor mentioning that besides himself as a Green-class Redeemer, there were also people at a higher level here—specifically, two Blue-class Redeemers. Surely, Si Ru had to be one of the two. And he was at the god level!

Of course, with Si Ru's divine consciousness, detecting the sliver of divine consciousness in Tang San's mind was impossible. There is a vast difference between levels of divine consciousness. Even if Tang San's sliver of divine consciousness was weak, it was still at the level of a God King, far surpassing Si Ru's.

"What's happening?" Guan Longjiang asked Si Ru.
