Chereads / Soul Land V (Douluo Dalu): Rebirth of Tang San / Chapter 20 - Chapter 19 Practical Teaching

Chapter 20 - Chapter 19 Practical Teaching

In order to be cautious, Tang San observed for a few more days, and by around the fifth day, the Wolf Demon's bloodline power had essentially recovered to its original state.

This gave Tang San a clear idea of what to do next, which was to find a Fourth Stage Wolf Demon to test his breakthrough.

However, this also posed some difficulties for him.

A Fourth Stage Wolf Demon is completely different from a Third Stage; the difference in one stage can mean a huge disparity in strength. Generally speaking, a Third Stage Wolf Demon stands at least 1.9 meters tall and is very strong. But a Fourth Stage Wolf Demon, standing over 2.2 meters tall, cannot merely be described as strong. One Fourth Stage Wolf Demon can easily handle four or five Third Stage Wolf Demons at the same time.

The leap from Third Stage to Fourth Stage is a major threshold. Although Tang San was confident about facing a Fourth Stage Wolf Demon with his already proficient Tang Sect techniques, Leopard Flash, wind blade, and other skills, defeating a Fourth Stage Wolf Demon without any noise and completely unnoticed was hardly possible. And once there was a disturbance, he could easily expose himself.

So now he had two options: either confront a Fourth Stage Wolf Demon in the wild, or think of a way to get help from his mentor.

Tang San didn't rush things and continued his studies and cultivation every day. From Wang Yanfeng's teachings, he learned more about the history and culture of Demon Monster Land, which were equally important to him.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and everyone's bloodline had improved to various extents; they were basically able to release wind blades. But on this front, the other four were significantly inferior to Tang San.

"Starting today, we will add a new subject: Practical combat class. Only through actual combat can you enhance your combat skills further," announced Wang Yanfeng one afternoon, indicating that today's lesson would be somewhat different.

"Everyone, follow me to the courtyard," Wang Yanfeng said as he led the five of them outside.

After half a month of learning, all five could now enter the state of bloodline stimulation for cultivation on their own and practice the Wind Wolf Transform. However, this was their first practical combat class.

The courtyard wasn't very big, but it offered enough space to move around. The wooden fence was sufficiently high to block the view from outside.

Wang Yanfeng stood at the center of the courtyard and said, "You will come at me one by one. Attack me. Wang Chao, you first. Use the Wind Wolf Transform."

"Okay," Wang Chao responded and positioned himself three meters in front of Wang Yanfeng.

"Begin," said Wang Yanfeng. He had decided to directly face his students because he was worried that they might not yet have control over their strength and could injure each other.

Wang Chao drew in a deep breath, and instantly, his qi and blood surged within him. He let out a wolf howl, and his body swelled a fraction, stretching his clothes taut as hair sprouted from his skin and his teeth elongated, with a faint green light glowing in his eyes. A fierce nature was faintly stimulated. Compared to his former frailty, after performing Wind Wolf Transform, he could now be considered quite strong even among his peers.

"Attack me," Wang Yanfeng nodded at him.

Wang Chao let out a low growl; the Wind Wolf Transform not only made his overall physical functions much stronger but also filled him with the ferocity of a Wind Wolf.

He powered through his legs and pounced directly at Wang Yanfeng.

There was no skill to speak of in this pounce, but its speed and strength were significantly greater than those of an ordinary human.

Wang Yanfeng did not perform Wind Wolf Transformation but simply stepped sideways, easily dodging Wang Chao's pounce.

"Too slow. Remember to use your wolf claws as offensive weapons. Aim for your opponent's vital points," he advised.

Wang Chao pounced and missed, turned around, and pounced again, his right hand's wolf claw reaching out towards Wang Yanfeng's chest.

Wang Yanfeng stepped aside once more, effortlessly avoiding his attack.

Tang San watched from the side, noticing that Wang Yanfeng's judgement was incredibly accurate. It seemed like he was simply taking one step to dodge each attack from Wang Chao, but in reality, he was precisely predicting his movements. While dodging, he was also advising Wang Chao on how to attack.

It was clear to Tang San that his teacher's combat experience was immensely rich. From start to finish, his expression remained calm, and he always managed to pinpoint the issues with Wang Chao's charges in a straightforward manner.

About five minutes later, Wang Chao was already crouching on the ground, gasping for air, as his Wind Wolf Transformation came to an end. With his current bloodline power, he could only maintain the Wind Wolf Transformation for around five minutes.

"You all need to be mindful of the mistakes and errors he just made. Also, remember that until your bloodline power reaches the Second Stage, you should not use wind blade rashly. Such skills that externalize energy will deplete your bloodline power much more, and unless you are certain of a fatal strike, once you use it, the duration of your Wind Wolf Transformation will be shortened, making you more passive."

As Wang Yanfeng spoke, he gestured for Wang Zhong to come over, "You saw the mistakes he just made, be sure to avoid them. Come on."

Wang Zhong didn't say much, just nodded his head and stimulated his bloodline, unleashing his own Wind Wolf Transformation.

His Wind Wolf Transformation was obviously smaller than Wang Chao's, but his eyes were sharper, and his slender body slightly crouched down. In the next moment, he pounced toward Wang Yanfeng.

Wang Yanfeng moved his feet slightly as if to sidestep, but Wang Zhong's leaping figure suddenly paused, and with a tap of his right foot on the ground, he changed direction to where Wang Yanfeng seemed to be dodging.

However, Wang Yanfeng's steps were just a slight feint and he quickly withdrew them, so Wang Zhong missed his target. It seemed as if he had missed on purpose. Among the five, only Tang San could see that Wang Yanfeng's move was a feint, designed to lure Wang Zhong.

"Not bad, you didn't exhaust your strength and knew to change direction. But you should also be aware of the opponent's actual movements. Continue," Wang Yanfeng praised Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong's missed leap twisted his body and he pounced again at Wang Yanfeng. Comparatively, he was clearly more agile than Wang Chao, and after several successive unsuccessful attacks, he would actively increase the distance to catch his breath.

He too lasted about five minutes, even though his Wind Wolf Transformation was clearly less refined than Wang Chao's. When it came to combat talents, he was definitely superior to Wang Chao.

Next was Wang Xiaolei, who only maintained the Wind Wolf Transformation for three minutes. Being younger, he was lacking in all areas compared to Wang Chao and Wang Zhong. But Wang Yanfeng had previously praised him for having better Bloodline Cultivation results during the Wind Wolf Transformation compared to the other two.

The fourth was Ling Muxue.

"Teacher, can I attack any way I want?" Ling Muxue asked Wang Yanfeng softly.

"Yes, go ahead and attack freely, you still won't hurt me. Let me see, how well our little Mu Xue can fight," Wang Yanfeng was quite satisfied with his only female disciple. Ling Muxue's diligence in cultivation was no less than that of the boys, and because she started her studies early, both her learning and cultivation effects were very good.

Ling Muxue also took a deep breath, her hair gradually turning bluish-grey, wolf fur emerged from behind her neck, green light swirled in her eyes, and in a flash, she charged at Wang Yanfeng.

Her speed was clearly a notch faster than the Wang's Three Brothers. Although her pounce lacked technique, it was light and agile.

With one look, Wang Yanfeng could tell that her pounce was her full effort—good speed, but she still hadn't avoided the mistakes made by the Wang's Three Brothers. He frowned slightly and took a step to elude her.

Ling Muxue inevitably missed her target. At the moment of missing, mid-air Ling Muxue suddenly twisted her body. Without changing her pouncing direction, such twisting would undoubtedly lead to a loss of control, her back facing toward the ground. But her body also flipped over in the process.

A wind blade shot out from her hand instantly, flying straight toward Wang Yanfeng's shoulder.
