Chapter 152: Helping With Du Bai’s Cultivation

The next moment, Tang San's right-hand shot like lightning, grabbing Du Bai's forehead. Du Bai shivered all over, instantly becoming rigid. He felt a sucking force from Tang San's hand as if something was being stripped away from inside him. A strong sense of crisis instantly spread throughout his body, feeling as if he might die in the next instant.

"Ah!" Du Bai exclaimed, but his voice was immediately stifled by Tang San's other hand grasping his throat. He looked at Tang San in disbelief and saw his "junior brother" smiling innocently, as if he wasn't choking Du Bai and draining his energy.

Du Bai quickly felt that he was starting to hallucinate, as if his sea of consciousness had completely solidified. The intense fear made him smell death approaching.

No, it can't be. How could Tang San harm me?

Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly as he continuously observed Du Bai's changes.

Tang San's words were not to deceive Du Bai. Du Bai's cultivation of the Celestial Fox Vision was indeed tricky, primarily because, as a human, his bloodline inheritance was not pure and strong enough. Continuous stimulation and enhancement of the potential in his bloodline required strong spiritual power as support, and indeed, constant stimulation of the bloodline was necessary, as it had been proven last time. Without such intense stimulation, he might never have broken through to the fourth order in his lifetime.

Tang San silently felt the changes in Du Bai's bloodline power. He didn't actively devour it but instead just observed the reaction of the Celestial Fox Vision as its owner came under deathly threat. Right now, this understanding was even more important than simply devouring the bloodline energy.

The Celestial Fox Vision was different from other bloodline powers. In fact, Tang San's own advancement from the second to the third order was not due to devouring Du Bai's bloodline energy, but rather because he had integrated the ability with his own Discerning Eye. This integration brought him a sort of enlightenment, leading to advancement.

Du Bai's eyes gradually emitted white light, the soft white glow becoming more intense. Tang San, who was suppressing his life force with his power, clearly felt his blood circulation becoming sluggish; even the operation of the Mysterious Heaven Technique seemed to have unstable fluctuations. It was as if something terrible was about to happen to him.

Tang San's eyes emitted a warm, prickling sensation as his Discerning Eye of Heaven spontaneously activated. To his surprise, he saw a white column of energy above Du Bai's head, about three feet high, swaying as if it might disperse at any moment. His spiritual power blossomed, and he also turned to look at his own body.

There was a similar energy column above his head, only two feet high but much more solid than Du Bai's. The two white energy columns collided, attracted, and repelled each other as if competing.

Fate, this must be the collision of fates.

Even when it came to those of great strength, fate often played a significant role. Those with good luck often reaped easy rewards in anything they did, cultivation included.

At this moment, Du Bai's aura, under the life-threatening pressure brought by Tang San, was struggling and erupting, attempting to change everything through the interference of luck. If not for Tang San's own Celestial Fox Vision, he would have been greatly disturbed.

And this was while Tang San was at the sixth order, while Du Bai was only at the fourth. The fact that the fourth order could so intensely reject the power of the sixth order only served to illustrate the formidable power of the Celestial Fox Vision.

A faint smile appeared on Tang San's face as he improved his understanding regarding the functions of the Celestial Fox Vision. It seemed that it cultivated the user's aura, constantly consolidating it to become stronger. Being around people with strong auras could invisibly enhance one's own, even drawing in and absorbing others' luck to bolster oneself.

When actively used, it directly caused the user's aura to erupt, improving their luck. The side effect, in turn, was weakness on the mental level. When applied to others, it was akin to lending the user's aura to them, causing their luck to suddenly improve, leading to beneficial outcomes in the very short term. Like when they killed that Winged Tiger—Du Bai's outburst had essentially lent them his luck.

So this is how the Celestial Fox Vision functions at the fourth order.

With this thought, Tang San slowly relaxed his grip on Du Bai's hands, stealthily absorbing some of his bloodline power.

As he released his grip, Tang San mimicked the previous changes in Du Bai's aura, allowing his pillar of aura to no longer suppress Du Bai's but merge with it. The two pillars of aura intertwined, complementing each other, and rose upward.

Once the two pillars of aura had risen, reaching five feet, Tang San instantly felt an overwhelming uplift in his mood, as if struck by a solid confidence that he would meet Mei Gongzi tomorrow.

This feeling was mysterious yet profoundly real.

"

Huff, huff, huff!

" Du Bai gasped heavily, glaring at Tang San angrily. "Are you trying to kill me?"

Having just said that, he suddenly paused. He looked at Tang San, blinked, and said, "Little Tang, why do I feel you've become more handsome? And I feel that what you just did...uh...it worked for me?! How's that possible?"

Tang San could feel the enhancement from merging their auras; naturally, he knew what Du Bai was talking about.

Tang San said, "This is the oppression I mentioned, a strong trigger for your Celestial Fox Vision. This will activate the deepest power of your bloodline, enhancing the Celestial Fox Vision. Now try retracting the power and see how it feels."

Tang San quietly guided his pillar of luck back as he spoke. Du Bai clearly couldn't see this pillar of luck, possibly because he possessed the pure Celestial Fox Transformation rather than the triple hybrid Tang San had, or maybe due to Tang San's more substantial spiritual power.

Both of them experienced the effects of their Celestial Fox Vision, yet their experiences were worlds apart.

Tang San appeared spirited, clearly sensing that his Celestial Fox Vision had advanced, drawing near the fourth order. Moreover, he had borrowed some of Du Bai's luck. Indeed, his fortune tomorrow would probably not be bad.

Du Bai, however, felt waves of emptiness and cold loneliness, his weakness making him sway. He might have nearly fallen if Tang San had not supported him in time.

"Right, right, this is the feeling. It's as if my Celestial Fox Vision has been overused. This feeling is correct. Little Tang, you are truly amazing. Once I recover, perhaps my Celestial Fox Vision might even improve. Even our teacher couldn't think of this cultivation method, and you figured it out by yourself. I'm impressed."

Tang San thought,

The teachers couldn't think of it because nobody else has the Celestial Fox Vision, so how could they know how it works? I'm taking each step as it comes.

He eagerly wished for Du Bai to improve quickly; Du Bai's advancement meant he himself was not far from advancing. His cultivation was at the sixth order, so there was still plenty of room for improvement in his Celestial Fox Vision.

The Celestial Fox Vision of the fourth order could already change a person's luck. What about the fifth order? The sixth order? And what happened when it reached the twelfth order? Its power could potentially affect the fate of an entire clan, race, and eventually continent!

The Celestial Fox Emperor was one of the top three formidable demon emperors, and it was clearly thanks to this!

A faint smile appeared on Tang San's face. He escorted Du Bai back to his room, advising him to meditate and cultivate, and then returned to his room.
