Since Wang Yanfeng had only taken a single step to dodge, he was very close to Ling Muxue during her turning attack, and it was already too late to evade further.
Wang Chao and Wang Xiaolei had already cried out in alarm, but they only saw a flash of green light on Wang Yanfeng's body, and the wind blade that had been falling toward his shoulder vanished into thin air.
At the same time, a green light shot out from beneath his feet, just in time to catch Ling Muxue as she was falling, lifting her up so that she steadied herself.
Ling Muxue's Wind Wolf Transformation had already been undone, and she was gasping heavily. The scene that had just occurred clearly left her somewhat bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
Meanwhile, Wang Yanfeng's eyes were filled with admiration.
"Not bad, not bad at all. You were aware of the gap between us, which is why you decided to put all your effort into a single strike, concentrating all your power on the wind blade to catch me by surprise. This is a battle that uses the brain. Very good."
He could, of course, see through Ling Muxue's little scheme.
"Teacher, you're amazing. Just now..." Ling Muxue looked at him with shock in her eyes.
Wang Yanfeng said, "That was some of the applications of wind blade. When you reach the Third Stage in the future, I will teach you. It requires a sufficiently strong bloodline power to perform."
Both Ling Muxue and the Wang's Three Brothers felt as if they were looking up at a towering mountain when they looked at Wang Yanfeng. Even Tang San was shaken inside.
Among the human powerhouses he had seen, Zhu Jiaxin was the first, and then there was Wang Yanfeng. He could now be certain that Wang Yanfeng's strength definitely surpassed Zhu Jiaxin's. Zhu Jiaxin should also be around the Fourth Stage in cultivation base. Back then, being severely injured, he was still able to kill a Third Stage Wolf Monster. However, Wang Yanfeng, even if he was also at the Fourth Stage, exhibited such a delicate control over the wind element that it was a direct application of wind element, not just simple wind blade. This was something he had never seen on any Wolf Monster.
Just this level of control made Tang San reassess Wang Yanfeng.
It needed strong spiritual power to do that, and also a sufficient understanding of the wind element.
"Tang San, your turn," Wang Yanfeng said after signaling Ling Muxue to step back, then turning to Tang San.
Tang San took a few steps forward, pondered for a moment, and then nodded at Wang Yanfeng.
Wang Yanfeng gave him a slight smile, "Begin."
Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly, and a burst of green light erupted from them. When Wang Yanfeng saw the green light emanating from Tang San's eyes, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
For members of the Wind Wolf Tribe, the stronger the bloodline within the body, the greater the affinity with the wind element displayed and the more control over the wind element they possessed, especially indicated by the green light in their eyes.
After only half a month of cultivation, Wang Yanfeng was astonished to find that the condition of Tang San's eyes had significantly strengthened compared to when he had first arrived.
Before he could ponder further, Tang San had already made his move. His right hand rose, and a wind blade about three inches long shot out. There was no whistling sound as the wind blade flew, and it seemed to be just a common blade heading towards Wang Yanfeng.
Wang Yanfeng had anticipated that Tang San would not lunge at him since Tang San himself couldn't perform the Wind Wolf Transformation and his physical strength had not increased; charging forward would be unwise.
What surprised him, though, was that there was no sound of breaking air from Tang San's wind blade, which was different from the situation with normal wind blades.
Wang Yanfeng did not move, but when the wind blade was about to reach him, he prepared to shift his feet and dodge. With his combat experience, no matter the kind of opponent, he would never waste even a sliver of energy that could be saved. But at that moment, the wind blade he saw vanished.
Yes, it just disappeared. He only felt a blur before his eyes, and the wind blade had vanished into thin air.
Had it dissipated? Was there not enough energy to sustain the wind blade?
Impossible! They were only five or six meters apart. Even when Tang San had first awakened, there should have been no problem for the wind blade to reach him. So how could it suddenly disappear?
At that moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes and, subconsciously, a streak of blue light shielded his face. The blue light flickered, rippling across his forehead.
Wang Yanfeng instinctively took a step back, shock already seizing his heart.
He was hit! Yes, Tang San's wind blade had struck him. He hadn't been able to dodge it, not even catch its trail. The silent wind blade had slashed his forehead, and if not for the protective Wind Wolf energy around his body, he would have been bleeding.
How could this be possible? Wang Yanfeng's gaze towards Tang San changed in an instant.
"Do it again!" Wang Yanfeng shouted at Tang San.
Tang San raised his left hand, and another wind blade shot out. It looked the same as before, still making no sound at all.
The distance between them was short. This time, the moment he released the wind blade, Wang Yanfeng also launched a wind blade from his hand, moving incredibly fast and heading straight for Tang San's. It was significantly larger, apparently intended to completely nullify the wind blade from Tang San.
But then, a bizarre scene unfolded. The wind blade Tang San had launched drew a beautiful arc in midair, and at a critical moment, it avoided Wang Yanfeng's attack, allowing his blade to shoot into the ground. Then, within Wang Yanfeng's field of vision, the wind blade disappeared once again.
Without any hesitation, a ring of blue wind rose around Wang Yanfeng's body in an instant. With a flash of blue light at his lower back, the wind blade reappeared, then dissolved into nothingness.
Shock was the only expression left on Wang Yanfeng's face at this point. He thought his mastery over the wind element control due to his Wind Wolf bloodline was almost peerless in Wind Wolf Town, not even the Wind Wolf Lord could match him—only the inscrutable high priest might be stronger because of her more potent bloodline power.
Yet, to his utter disbelief, here was an eight-year-old boy standing before him, demonstrating such exquisite manipulation of the wind blade. If it had happened just once, it could be dismissed as chance, but twice? Both silent and precise, able to make the wind blade disappear right before his own eyes—it was nothing short of magical skill!
Little did he know, Tang San's first life had been in a world where he lived until the age of twenty-eight within a sect known as the Tang Sect, which specialized in concealed weapons and the use of poison. Tang San had an almost insane passion for hidden weapons, which led him to risk it all and stealthily learn the Mystic Sky Records, including the Mysterious Heaven Method, Mysterious Jade Hands, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Purple Demon Eyes, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Hidden Weapons Hundred Solutions—the six ultimate Tang Sect techniques.
He greatly enhanced these six ultimate techniques. Later, when his actions were uncovered, he chose to leave everything behind and leap from a cliff, an act affirming his convictions. This precipitated his first transmigration to a place known as Soul Land. There, using the Tang Sect techniques as a foundation and combined with a unique ability called Martial Soul of that world, he ultimately cultivated to godhood and became the First-Generation God King.
Among these six Tang Sect ultimate techniques, the primary purpose of the first five was to serve the final technique, Hidden Weapons Hundred Solutions.
The hidden weapons of the Tang Sect were divided into two categories. One consisted of ingeniously crafted mechanical hidden weapons, while the other relied on hand techniques and profound cultivation to be used.
In his past life on Soul Land, Tang San's father was a blacksmith and a deeply concealed hammer king. Tang San learned blacksmithing, and starting over from scratch, he created many world-shocking mechanical hidden weapons.
In this life, he came with his divine consciousness and memories of his past life, along with far more experience than when he had first been reborn. Lacking even the chance to forge, he naturally devoted more effort to cultivating his concealed weapon technique.
