Chapter 25: Chapter 24 Advice
Perhaps it was because the amount of bloodline power he had drawn was relatively small, but when Tang San saw Wang Yanfeng again the next day, he appeared to have already recovered to normal. However, the look in Wang Yanfeng's eyes had clearly changed.
How could he not see that this child, only eight years old, actually possessed the ability of the Third Stage? But this also brought Wang Yanfeng some relief. The relief was due to understanding why Tang San had shown the tendency to take action that day, because he indeed had substantial strength. Even he himself had been affected without going all out. This youngster was not only skilled in wielding the wind blade, but also surprisingly formidable in close combat.
The morning was still for cultural lessons, teaching them some knowledge. Tang San also listened very seriously, diligently learning how to read and write.
After classes, Wang Yanfeng called Tang San to the upstairs room again.
"Tang San, I have some things to tell you. Although I cautioned you yesterday, I feel that I need to say a few more words to you," Wang Yanfeng said seriously to Tang San.
"Teacher, please speak," Tang San nodded.
Wang Yanfeng said, "At the very beginning of our classes, I explained to you what collective punishment means. You should still remember, right?"
Tang San nodded again.
Wang Yanfeng continued, "The reason I am bringing up collective punishment now is not because I fear death. In fact, over these decades of my life, I'm already considered old among our humans, and compared to most, I've been fortunate. At least I can stay with your teacher mother. Our lives have been worthwhile. But here in Wind Wolf Town, there are a total of twenty-seven vassals. Each surviving vassal possesses strength above the Third Stage, and together with the five of you, that makes thirty-two. If any one of us is discovered to have a problem, it's very likely that everyone will be implicated."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "The 'redemption' you mentioned yesterday should not be brought up with anyone else. You must also hide your own strength as much as possible. You're young and prone to let your emotions get the better of you, which must be controlled. It's not just for your own sake, but also for all the humans in Wind Wolf Town. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand," Tang San said earnestly, nodding his head again.
Wang Yanfeng sighed lightly and said, "I hope you truly understand. Alright, since I lost to you yesterday, I will keep my word. Starting tonight, come to this room for your cultivation. This room contains a magic array set up with Wind Spirit Stones. Although the array is rather simple, it's the culmination of the little I have managed to accumulate over the years. Come here to cultivate every other day; it will be very beneficial for you in comprehending the wind element. The effects of cultivating the Wind Wolf Transformation will also improve. At eight years old you already have your current abilities; your future is boundless. You must listen to my words and preserve yourself for future possibilities."
"Yes," Tang San answered respectfully.
Wang Yanfeng hesitated for a moment before asking, "Don't you have anything to say? Or anything to ask?"
Tang San said, "Teacher, do you want to learn the technique of controlling the wind blade from me?"
Wang Yanfeng's mouth twitched, clearly not expecting this question, but after only a slight hesitation, he nodded and said, "Learn! It has been very hard for me to break through to the Fifth Stage. The Wind Wolf Tribe won't provide me with the corresponding methods. Moreover, our bloodline power is ultimately limited. The Wind Wolves of Wind Wolf Town don't have much of the strongest bloodline, which naturally sets a limit for us. Learning some techniques can enhance our strength somewhat. So, I will not stand on ceremony."
Tang San said, "Teacher, is there a way to enhance bloodline power?"
Wang Yanfeng was taken aback and replied, "There should be, but I'm not clear on it. However, I have heard that both the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan can enhance their bloodline if a senior member of the same clan is willing to strip away the essence from their own bloodline and pass it on to someone of a lower rank when they die. But for us humans, there's no need to even think about it. How could the Monster Clan and Spirit Clan possibly give us a high-ranking inheritance?"
Tang San said, "What if it's forcibly stripped away? Is that possible?"
Wang Yanfeng's heart tightened, "Who said this to you? That person who once taught you?"
Tang San nodded. Of course, this was something he had figured out on his own, but now he could only pin it on that nonexistent person, which could also be Zhu Jiaxin.
Wang Yanfeng said, "Maybe it's possible. But it's not something I can touch. In redemption, perhaps..." He stopped suddenly, giving himself a slap, "I've brought up these two words again. Remember, you must never mention it, especially outside, don't mention it to anyone."
"Teacher, take it easy. It even hurts to watch," Tang San's mouth twitched.
Wang Yanfeng said irritably, "Alright. You kid. So, are you going to start teaching me now? I want to learn that method you have to make the wind blade invisible."
Tang San nodded and said, "Teacher, controlling a wind blade is actually not difficult. First, you need to bring out the wind blade's greatest advantage, which is speed. The wind element itself is the best amplifier of speed. So, the Shadowless Wind Blade you saw is actually based on speed. Today, I will teach you some basic stuff. This technique is called throwing arrow, and it can maximize the speed of the wind blade. After you master the throwing arrow, I will teach you the returning technique. Only after you've learned these two techniques can you start trying the Shadowless Wind Blade."
Listening to him speak so authoritatively, Wang Yanfeng was a bit stunned. So many techniques?
Not only did Tang San achieve a breakthrough to the Mysterious Heaven Skill's fourth level last night, the tranquility of that night also signified Wang Yanfeng's protection over him, his acceptance. This also brought Tang San one step closer to accepting this teacher.
Thereupon, he began to teach Wang Yanfeng the foundational techniques from the Hundred Solutions to Tang Sect's Secret Weapons.
Wang Yanfeng was quite outstanding in control, even better than most in the Wolf Monster Tribe, so naturally, he learned quickly. The time from the end of the morning cultural classes to lunch became the period for Wang Yanfeng to learn from Tang San.
However, in the eyes of the Wang Family Brothers and Ling Muxue, it seemed like Wang Yanfeng was giving private lessons to Tang San.
Nobody had any doubts about it. Ling Muxue felt the closest to Tang San; after all, they were together during the most difficult times. As for the Wang Family Brothers, being much older, they subconsciously thought that Tang San, being only eight years old, naturally needed more guidance from the teacher, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to pass the assessment in three years.
And when Tang San first cultivated within the Wind Array, his understanding of this world finally deepened a bit more.
Night fell, and the room emitted a faint bluish light, with soft wind elements rippling from the Wind Spirit Stone in the corner.
Although it was just a rich concentration of the wind element, it also made the spirituality of heaven and earth within the room several times denser than normal places. This was very beneficial for Tang San's cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Method.
But he didn't rush to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Method, instead trying to feel the wind element here.
In his previous life, with powerful Divine Power and divine consciousness, controlling any element was an easy task. In this life, starting all over again, everything had changed, and his perception of everything had to start from the beginning.
The wind element here was very light, the gentle breeze carrying both warm and cool sensations. When Tang San tried to communicate with them using his Spiritual Power, the wind elements would ripple naturally, exhibiting a feeling of repulsion. They were not attracted to him.
