Chapter 80

As he changed, there was a sense of shimmering light and color around him. Though ugly, it gave off a special and peculiar feeling.

What kind of demon god transformation is this? Tang San couldn't recognize it. At least, among the demon races that Wang Yanfeng had told him about before, he had no impression of such a demon. It looked somewhat like a crocodile, but how could a crocodile have a shimmering light and color?

At the same time, Zhang Zebin, Gu Li's opponent, also underwent a transformation. His entire body grew taller, and a powerful aura burst forth from him. Diamond-shaped scales appeared, and a pair of horns grew on his head. His towering body quickly became robust. In a short time, he had transformed into a muscular man over two meters tall, with a pair of horns on his head and his body covered in scales. The aura emanating from him was extremely formidable.

Gu Li should be at the fourth stage, while Zhang Zebin's aura indicated he was at the fifth stage. A fourth stage versus a fifth stage practical combat? What were the teachers thinking?

As Tang San was puzzled, the battle had already begun.

Zhang Zebin let out a roar, took a step forward, and charged out. In mid-air, his body seemed to swell a bit. His pitch-black scales suddenly turned a deep red, and with a mouthful, a stream of red flames spewed out toward the opponent.

The light flowing around Gu Li's body instantly intensified, and he pushed off the ground, charging straight into the flames.

In the next moment, the light around Gu Li's body suddenly flickered, and the flames spewed by Zhang Zebin strangely stagnated in the air. Zhang Zebin, continuing his charge, actually collided with the stagnant flames.

What kind of ability is this? Tang San's heart was shaken. This... this seems to be a time-stopping ability!

He had once been a god king and deeply understood how powerful the ability to control time and space was. Among all types of abilities, time and space were the most mysterious.

On the battlefield, Zhang Zebin, charging into his own flames, clearly trembled, but the scales on his body seemed to provide excellent defense. At this moment, Gu Li had already completed a turn, and his long tail lashed out fiercely.

Zhang Zebin took a step forward, twisted his body, and dodged. However, he did not attack but instead crossed his arms in front of him, even squatting and curling his body into a defensive stance.

In the next moment, his body clearly stagnated, and then he was struck directly by Gu Li's tail.

With a "bang," Zhang Zebin was thrown five or six meters away. He rolled on the ground and instantly sprang up, charging at Gu Li again. At the same time, his right fist was covered in a dense flame glow.

Gu Li retreated, the light flowing around his body clearly dimmer than before. Relying on the strikes of his tail, he occasionally controlled the opponent's movements and clashed with Zhang Zebin.

Both had strong defenses, especially Gu Li. Even when hit by Zhang Zebin's flame-filled fist, he showed no obvious injuries. However, as the battle continued, Tang San noticed that Gu Li was gradually falling into a disadvantage, as his wondrous control ability was gradually failing. It was probably due to excessive consumption of his bloodline power.

But Gu Li's defense was strong, and his fighting spirit was tenacious. Even when he could no longer effectively control Zhang Zebin, he could still occasionally counterattack, using his tail like a heavy hammer to strike Zhang Zebin.

Zhang Zebin's defense was also strong, with great power and a demon god transformation that included the might of flames, making him very formidable in terms of strength, speed, and burst.

The two fought back and forth, and as time passed, Gu Li's consumption grew greater, and the light around his body gradually disappeared. Even his demon god transformation could no longer be sustained.

"Stop." Mu Enqing called the match to a halt. Although Gu Li's ability was very special, Zhang Zebin's cultivation was ultimately higher, and he won through attrition.

At this moment, Tang San was filled with shock. He now felt that the Golden Phoenix transformation he had just absorbed was a bit less appealing. Gu Li's time control ability was too powerful! It wasn't just spatial confinement but a more mysterious control of time, capable of instantly freezing time. Such control was far more effective than direct spatial element confinement. With such control, even with one stage higher cultivation, Zhang Zebin was helpless.

No matter what, he had to learn this time control ability! Gu Li's combat experience was lacking, and he had few combat techniques. But if the same ability were in Tang San's hands, it could be incredibly powerful.

He was already thinking about which imprint to replace with this time control ability, or whether to absorb the time transformation directly instead of the Golden Phoenix transformation.

However, the ability to fly was also very important, and he was quite conflicted! He didn't dare to fuse different types of demon god transformation imprints lightly. If it had a negative effect, it would be troublesome, leading to a decline in his strength.

"Senior Brother Dubei, what were the demon god transformations of these two seniors just now? They looked so amazing," Tang San asked in a low voice.

Dubei replied, "Zhang Zebin has the Crimson Dragon transformation. It's a sub-dragon species. The Crimson Dragon clan is very rare, but they are already very powerful among sub-dragons. He is very well-rounded, with strength, burst, speed, and fire. The teachers have always praised him for being well-rounded. As for Senior Brother Gu Li, he has the Time Crocodile demon god transformation, also known as the Time transformation. Generally, our demon god transformations are named after the original demon species, but his is not, because the time control ability is too powerful. It's said that if cultivated to the god level, it can reverse time on a large scale, bringing life from death. However, his ability is also quite difficult to cultivate, with slow progress."

Time Crocodile, Crimson Dragon!

Treasure boys, wait for me...

Tang San swallowed hard. He felt that his understanding of demon god transformations was changing since coming here. Coming to the Redemption Academy, he had truly broadened his horizons and seen the powerful abilities of the demon races.

Compared to this, the few abilities he had before were nothing. How to adjust and recombine them would be something he would need to think about for a long time. If done well, it would undoubtedly further enhance his strength.

The practical combat class continued. The previous battle was relatively long, lasting about five minutes. Because the two were evenly matched, the battle between Tang San and Cheng Zicheng only lasted a few seconds.

Tang San watched the following practical combat sessions very attentively. He found that the seniors' abilities were all very special, with no ordinary demon god transformations. Although their practical combat experience and application were somewhat lacking from Tang San's perspective, their talent was far beyond what he had seen in human subordinates before. Even among the demons he had seen before, few had such bloodline types.

"Tang San, are you rested?" After the seventh practical combat session ended, Mu Enqing called out to Tang San again.

"I am rested," Tang San respectfully replied.

Mu Enqing nodded and said, "The final battle will also be conducted by you. Your opponent is Wu Bingji. Wu Bingji is the only student among all the students whose cultivation has reached the sixth stage. You can do your best and let us see your limits."

Sixth stage? Tang San couldn't help but be surprised. He naturally knew who Wu Bingji was, though he wasn't yet familiar with everyone. However, among all the sparring sessions, only two students did not participate: Dubei and a young man who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.
