Chapter 22: No Offense, Teacher, But You Can\'t Win.
Everything he did today was carefully calculated. There were several primary objectives. Demonstrating his Shadowless Wind Blade to Wang Yanfeng was to make him aware of his abilities, which would make him special in Wang Yanfeng\'s eyes. Gaining attention from his teacher would ultimately grant him more freedom in the future.
Another reason was that he genuinely wanted to impart some of his abilities to Wang Yanfeng, and by extension, to the other four as well. He wants to help them strengthen their abilities as quickly as possible so that they could pass the assessment and avoid any further tragedies.
There was also a more profound significance in mentioning the word "redemption": he wanted to gauge Wang Yanfeng\'s reaction. Based on Wang Yanfeng\'s actions to protect them, he suspected that Wang Yanfeng was aware of the Redemption Society, and that he could even be a member. If that was the case, it would be the best scenario, as it would be advantageous for his future efforts to join the society and seek his reincarnated wife through their assistance.
The last point was obviously for his cultivation. When he mentioned that Wang Yanfeng\'s strength wasn\'t on par with his own, it was to create an opportunity for himself to absorb a portion of Wang Yanfeng\'s Wind Wolf bloodline power and break through to the fourth level of the Mysterious Heaven Technique.
Over the past few days, he had carefully considered various methods. He observed the fourth-order Wind Wolves in the town. Launching a sneak attack on a fourth-order Wind Wolf was very risky, as it was challenging to carry it out without making a commotion and exposing himself. After all, with his appearance, it was clear from a mile away that he was a human child.
In addition, Tang San’s experiment had confirmed that devouring the target’s energy wouldn\'t harm them fundamentally, and achieving the breakthrough by using Wang Yanfeng’s energy was indeed the safest option.
He also considered the worst case scenario, of course. What if Wang Yanfeng was in fact a loyal lackey of the Wind Wolf Clan? The probability of this happening was extremely low. Even though Wang Yanfeng dared not resist the Wind Wolf Clan, based on his attitude and care toward the students, his character seemed trustworthy. To take it a step further, if he were indeed betrayed, it wasn’t like he had no solution. He had been suppressing his anger all this time, but if pushed to the limit, he could activate his divine consciousness and simply flatten Wind Wolf Town.
After weighing his options for several days, he ultimately concluded that the potential gains from revealing himself outweighed the risks he would face. That was why he had made this choice.
Then, Wang Yanfeng walked over to a corner and carefully interacted with the rocks that were radiating wind element energy. The next moment, Tang San was astonished to feel a gentle, invisible energy diffusing in the air. It was the wind element. Rich elemental energy enveloped the entire room, as if the room had an inbuilt wind-element array.
Does something like this exist here?
Tang San\'s inner shock was profound. Wang Yanfeng’s assets were bewildering. So these things exist in this world as well..."It\'s safe here; we don\'t need to worry about making too much noise. Come on, show me what you learned from that person." Wang Yanfeng opened up the distance between himself and Tang San, providing more space for the child to use the wind blades.
The sparring now was different from the practice combat they had. Wang Yanfeng didn\'t underestimate the eight-year-old child in front of him. His eyes gleamed with determination as his body instantly expanded.
Wind Wolf Transformation!
When humans used the Wind Wolf Transformation, their bodies improved drastically. Of course, these improvements would never be at the level of a Wind Wolf of the same order. Nevertheless, after activating the Wind Wolf Transformation, Wang Yanfeng\'s height exceeded two meters in an instance. The wind element around his body became noticeably turbulent, and a green glow surrounded his wolf claws. Even though there was some distance between them, Tang San could still keenly sense the overwhelming pressure emanating from him.
Without a doubt, Wang Yanfeng was the strongest opponent he had encountered since arriving in this world.
Tang San\'s gaze also became intense as he stared at Wang Yanfeng. He crouched slightly with one foot in front of the other. His irises had a faint green glow, and the light also radiated from the corners of his eyes.
In the next instant, Tang San moved. He raised both hands simultaneously, unleashing two Shadowless Wind Blades, noticeably more prominent than the ones used during their previous spar in the courtyard. Soundlessly, one on the left and one on the right, they carved two arcs in space as they headed straight toward Wang Yanfeng.
At the same time, Wang Yanfeng also launched his attack. He didn\'t bother with the wind blades. Tang San\'s wind blades had already astonished him, and he knew it would be difficult to evade such attacks. What he relied on to overpower Tang San was simply his much greater strength.
He was curious to know if Tang San\'s claim of being able to defeat him was arrogance or genuine confidence backed by strength. He wanted to find out for himself.
Ignoring the two wind blades, he charged straight at Tang San, closing the distance to prevent Tang San from releasing more wind blades. This was the best strategy. He refrained from using wind blades himself, as he was still concerned about Tang San being unable to withstand them and getting injured.
As for the two wind blades that Tang San had unleashed earlier, they flew through the air while Tang San himself retreated backward.
Thud! Thud!
The two wind blades struck Wang Yanfeng\'s knees.
Even though Wang Yanfeng was using wind element energy to protect himself, and his physical strength had significantly increased due to his transformation, he was still tripped by these two wind blades. His charging momentum became somewhat uncontrollable.
His heart was filled with astonishment. Not even a second-order Wind Wolf Transformation could produce wind blades like these!
Seizing the opportunity while Wang Yanfeng was momentarily out of control, Tang San made a swift move, sidestepping to the side and creating distance. Once again, he released two Shadowless Wind Blades from his hands.
Wang Yanfeng took a step forward, and using his wolf claws, he managed to prevent himself from falling. However, the two wind blades had already reached him again, hitting his knees in the exact same spot. This sudden impact caused his movements to seize just as he was about to leap up.
Following this, there were two more wind blades. These two wind blades were slightly smaller in size, but as they shot towards him, Wang Yanfeng could sense the threat. They seemed to be more potent than the previous wind blades. Did he compress the energy?
Wang Yanfeng instinctively crouched down and clapped his wolf claws together, creating a whirlwind in front of him as a defensive measure. He didn\'t dare to confront the wind blades directly again.
But at this moment, a strange scene unfolded. Above the whirlwind in front of Wang Yanfeng, the two wind blades disappeared with a flash of green light.
Right away, Wang Yanfeng felt a sharp sense of danger right in front of his eyes. He instinctively raised his arm to protect his face, and an instant later, he felt something stabbing them deeply. It was clear that Tang San\'s attack had been aimed at his eyes this time.
Tang San\'s wind blades were more potent than he had imagined; forget about the second order, they clearly reached the third order! Such a level of cultivation was something Wang Yanfeng had never anticipated. At just eight years old, Tang San had already achieved third-order strength! Even though he lacked the physical augmentation from Wind Wolf\'s transformation, his control over wind blades was well on par with a regular third-order wolf demon!
Wang Yangfeng was astounded. However, astonishment was all he felt.
I’m sorry, kid. I am not at the third order!
With a resounding growl, Wang Yanfeng\'s aura surged, bathing him in a vivid green radiance that crackled with the essence of the wind. The air around him hummed with the power of elemental force. His wolf-like fur shimmered with an enchanting greenish hue as if the room\'s magic had magnified his presence. Now a deep shade of jade, his eyes conveyed his unwavering determination.
Wang Yanfeng planted his feet firmly into the floor and surged forward at a ridiculous speed. His arms shielded his vulnerable eyes as he charged straight toward Tang San.
Two more wind blades struck him, but this time, they were effortlessly dissipated by the protective wind element surrounding him. Wang Yanfeng had unleashed his full power, his every skill brought to bear in a simple yet determined pursuit: close the distance and end the battle.
