<h4>Chapter 153: Time For Some Good Luck!</h4>


    Such cultivation was beneficial for Du Bai and equally so for Tang San.


    As they cultivated together, the synergy and improvement in their fortunes were far more significant than if either practiced alone.


    As long as Tang San kept his Celestial Fox Vision slightly weaker than Du Bai''s, he could seamlessly merge his ability with Du Bai''s.


    It seemed that a new daily cultivation task was in order. If it worked with Du Bai, it could also work with Gu Li. Compared to the Celestial Fox Transformation, enhancing the Chrono Croc Transformation was more manageable—it merely required absorbing the bloodline power from Gu Li.


    Dawn.


    After breakfast, as the sky began to brighten, Tang San and Du Bai stood together on a hillside outside the Redemption Society, gazing into the distant east, jointly cultivating their Purple Demon Eyes.


    After a night''s rest, Du Bai mainly recovered his spirits. As the purple dawn approached, a purple hue appeared in his eyes, a sign that he had begun to grasp the basics of the Purple Demon Eyes.


    Under the influence of his Celestial Fox Vision, his cultivation of the Purple Demon Eyes was far more efficient and faster than that of an ordinary person.


    They continued their cultivation until the sun rose.


    Du Bai turned to Tang San and said, "It''s different, I can feel it. My Celestial Fox Vision seems to have improved a bit. It''s not as significant as thest breakthrough, but it''s progress. Before the breakthrough, when I cultivated the Celestial Fox Transformation, it was always a gradual umtion with slow improvement. I’ve never felt this way before. Little Tang, thank you."


    Tang San smiled slightly, "I''m d it''s helpful. Keep practicing your Purple Demon Eyes; they''re your best tool. Now, I''m off to work at Kali Academy."


    After bidding farewell to Du Bai, Tang San descended the mountain. Having received his work permit the day before, he passed through the back gate''s security check and re-entered Kali Academy.


    Perhaps due to the guidance of fortune fromst night, he felt even the sunlight seemed much brighter today.


    "Fortune, oh fortune, please be on my side!"


    When he arrived at the small building, it seemed Old Mao had just finished breakfast. Surprisingly, a hint of a smile appeared when he saw Tang San.


    "Little Tang, you did well yesterday; keep up the good work. The academy''s Dean of Instruction sought me outst night to praise your cleaning."


    "Thank you, Old Mao. Thanks to your good teaching," Tang San replied humbly.


    Old Mao patted his shoulder. "Excellencees from every profession; do well."


    <i>What kind of excellencees from sweeping floors?</i> Tang San''s mouth twitched slightly, but he made sure Old Mao didn''t see it and verbally agreed.


    Taking his things, he cleaned the main teaching building again, this time without Old Mao apanying him.


    Being praised first thing in the morning was a sign of good luck!


    Since he had thoroughly cleaned the day before, today''s task was much more manageable. Tang San was supposed to work one day and rest the next, but as this was his trial week, he needed toe in every day. This was mainly to let Old Mao assess his suitability for the job. If he passed smoothly, he could be a regr employee, working one day and resting the next three times a week.


    <i>Mei Gongzi, Mei Gongzi, Mei Gongzi...</i> As Tang San swept the floor, he silently prayed in his heart.


    However, even after a morning of sweeping, he still hadn''t caught a glimpse of Mei Gongzi.


    <i>Seems like my luck isn''t that great today! Oh well, it''s not something I can force,</i> Tang San thought helplessly.


    Luck aside, he found that cultivating within Kali Academy was indeed excellent. The spiritual energy here was the densest he had ever experienced. Even as he absorbed it at a low rate, while sweeping the yard, it had a tremendous nourishing effect on his body.


    His Mysterious Heaven Technique was superblypatible with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, especially when it came to life energy.


    After a day and a half of merging with the nt life energy, the bloodline imprint on his Green Jade Vine had be noticeably more active. The low-tier Green Jade Vine even seemed to have a sense of eager anticipation.


    He returned to the small house at noon to eat and rest.


    While Tang San was meditating and resting, a somewhat urgent shout suddenly came from outside. "Old Mao, Old Mao!"


    "I''ming!" Old Mao, who was napping on the table, quickly got up. It seemed that he got a bit dizzy from rising too fast, as his body swayed a little.


    Hearing the shout, Tang San had already gotten up and quickly went to support him.


    Old Mao nced at him, nodded, and left the small house.


    Outside the small house, a burly man was waiting anxiously. Seeing Old Maoe out, he waved him over and said, "Hurry up, the dean is inspecting every part of the cultivation area today. Take your people and get the cleaning done immediately. You have just over an hour. Right now, immediately."


    "Yes, yes, we''ll go right away. Little Tang, grab your things, let''s go. I''ll gather the others immediately."


    It wasn''t just Old Mao and Tang San in the small house; there were several small rooms and each room housed two people, serving as a ce to rest and store cleaning supplies.


    Old Mao assembled a dozen people and immediately headed to the cultivation area behind the academy with various cleaning tools.


    Old Mao quickly delegated tasks, assigning cleaning duties to everyone else.


    "Little Tang, since you''re new to this ce, follow me. Let''s clean the Demonic Battle Zone."


    Tang San had studied the internal map of Kali Academy; the Demonic Battle Zone was where the academy''s students practicedbat. It wasrge, covering two levels.


    Following Old Mao, he quickly arrived at the ce.


    The Demonic Battle Zone was a ring-shaped building that extended both above and under the ground.


    Upon entering the Demonic Battle Zone, Tang San immediately sensed a powerful energy array. Even the walls around him shimmered with faint energy fluctuations.


    This ce, used forbat training of demon race students, obviously had to be well-defended, or it would have been destroyed long ago.


    "The Demonic Battle Zone isrge, but wee here to clean on the daily. The usual cleaning isn''t needed; we just need to focus on spots that might usually be overlooked, like the tops of door frames and corners of windows. You carry a bucket of water; I''ll lead you. We need to move quickly, time is of the essence. If we don''t clean properly, we''ll be in trouble." Old Mao spoke much faster than yesterday, clearly in a hurry.


    Tang San had no objections; he fetched a bucket of water and followed Old Mao. He cleaned wherever Old Mao instructed swiftly and thoroughly.


    Watching Tang San''s adept movements, Old Mao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like they would finish in time. He grew increasingly pleased with the young boy. Thetter was just a child, but he was clearly very responsible. The mayor''s rmendation was indeed a good one.


    They first cleaned the circr corridor that ran all the way around this ring-shaped building. Behind the doors along the corridor was the actual Demonic Battle Zone.


    As they cleaned, Old Mao exined the generalyout of the area to Tang San.


    The upper level of the Demonic Battle Zone was an open-air battlefield, an extensive arena covering 15,000 square meters,rge enough to amodate multiplebatants simultaneously.


    The lower level consisted of smaller individual areas, mainly for a few people''s practical training andbat exercises. Each had its purpose.


    With Tang San''s efficient cleaning, the outer circle of the area was already done in just over half an hour.


    The usual hygiene standards here seemed rtively high, so there weren''t too many neglected spots.


    "Let''s go inside." Old Mao led Tang San through a side door.


    There were no guards here. When the two pushed open the heavy door, they immediately felt the energy fluctuations inside. Two groups of students were engaged inbat.


    As Tang San stepped through the gate into the Demonic Battle Zone, he realized his luck was finally shining upon him.
