Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San

Chapter 20: Tang San VS Wang Yanfeng

Since Wang Yanfeng had only taken one step to evade when Ling Muxue flipped and launched her attack, the distance between them was very close. There was no time for him to escape again.

Wang Chao and Wang Xiaolei both exclaimed in surprise at the scene. Then, they saw a flash of green light on Wang Yanfeng, and the wind blade that was heading toward his shoulder disappeared into thin air.

At the same time, a ray of green light shot out from under his feet, catching the falling Ling Muxue just in time, lifting her back up and stabilizing her stance.

Ling Muxue's Wind Wolf transformation had already dissipated, and she was panting heavily. The things that had just transpired left her somewhat bewildered, unsure of how to process the fight. However, she could clearly tell that there was a look of approval in Wang Yanfeng's eyes.

"Not bad, not bad at all. You know there's a power difference between us, so you concentrated all your strength on that wind blade attack, catching me off guard. That's using your brain in battle. Well done."

Wang Yanfeng could see Ling Muxue's little scheme.

"Teacher, you're amazing. Just now, you..."

Ling Muxue's eyes were filled with astonishment.

Wang Yanfeng replied, "That was an application of the Wind Blade. I'll teach it to you when you reach the third order. It can only be used when your bloodline is powerful enough."

Both Ling Muxue and the Wang siblings couldn't help but look at Wang Yanfeng with deep admiration. Even Tang San was inwardly impressed by what he had just witnessed.

Among the powerful humans he had encountered, Zhu Jiaxin was the first, and now, it was Wang Yanfeng. He could now be sure that Wang Yanfeng's strength was definitely above Zhu Jiaxin's. Zhu Jiaxin had probably been around the fourth order in terms of cultivation. Even when heavily injured, he could kill a third-order wolf demon. However, even though Wang Yanfeng was also at the fourth order, his control over the wind element was simply exquisite.

Yes, it wasn't just a simple wind blade but an actual direct application of the wind element. Tang San hadn't seen anything like this from any wolf demons.

Just this level of control made Tang San have a newfound respect for Wang Yanfeng. It required solid mental power and a deep understanding of the wind element.

"Tang San, it's your turn," Wang Yanfeng said.

Tang San took a few steps forward and seemed lost in thought for a moment before nodding at Wang Yanfeng.

Wang Yanfeng smiled slightly. "Let's begin."

Tang San’s eyes narrowed, and a gleam of green light shot out from his eyes. When Wang Yanfeng saw this, he couldn't help but be surprised. For the Wind Wolf Clan, the stronger the bloodline, the greater the affinity with the wind element, the more of the wind element they could control, and the more their aura manifested, especially in the form of the green light in their pupils. After only half a month of cultivation, Wang Yanfeng was surprised to find that Tang San's eyes had strengthened compared to when he first arrived.

Tang San had already made his move without waiting for him to overthink. He lifted his right hand, and a wind blade about three inches long shot out. Unlike Ling Muxue’s, this wind blade didn't produce any howling sound as it flew, appearing rather unremarkable as it headed toward Wang Yanfeng.

Wang Yanfeng had anticipated that Tang San wouldn't actively charge at him, considering that Tang San couldn't use the Wind Wolf transformation to enhance his physical strength. Under these circumstances, it would be unwise to charge forward. However, what surprised him was that Tang San's wind blade didn't produce the usual whistle or howl as it passed through the air, which was different from the standard wind blade.

Wang Yanfeng remained still, and as the wind blade was about to approach him, he prepared to move and dodge. With his combat experience, he would save energy when facing any opponent.

However, the moment his foot shifted, the wind blade suddenly disappeared.

Yes, it vanished, and all his vision registered was a momentary blur before the wind blade disappeared into thin air.

Huh? Why did it disperse? Does he not have enough energy to sustain the wind blade?

Impossible! The distance is only six meters. Even when Tang San just awakened, he could’ve hit me with that wind blade. How could it suddenly disappear like that?

At that moment, he suddenly sensed a sharp movement right in front of his eyes, and instinctively, a green light burst forth. The green light trembled, and ripples spread from his forehead.

Wang Yanfeng instinctively took a step back, but he was truly startled.

Yes, Tang San's wind blade had struck him. He couldn't even track its trajectory, let alone evade it. This silent and invisible wind blade had just slashed across his forehead. This attack would’ve definitely drawn blood if he didn’t have his own wind wolf energy protecting him.

How is this possible? Wang Yanfeng's expression changed as he looked at Tang San.

"Again!" he shouted at Tang San.

Tang San raised his left hand, and another wind blade shot out. It appeared to be the same wind blade as before, still soundless.

The two were very close to each other. As Tang San released his wind blade, in that same instant, a wind blade shot out from Wang Yanfeng's hand incredibly fast, heading straight for Tang San's wind blade. It was noticeably larger and aimed to extinguish Tang San's wind blade directly.

However, a strange scene unfolded. Tang San's wind blade in mid-air drew a graceful arc, almost at the last moment, evading Wang Yanfeng's wind blade and letting it strike the ground. Then, in Wang Yanfeng's sight, that wind blade disappeared once again.

With no hesitation, Wang Yangfeng immediately summoned a green-lit whirlwind around himself. In the blink of an eye, the green light flashed once more, and Tang San’s wind blade reappeared behind Wang Yangfeng back, then dissipated when it made contact with the whirlwind.

Wang Yanfeng's face was now filled with nothing but astonishment. He was even doubting himself. He had always assumed that when it came to fine control of the wind element, there might be no one in the entire Wind Wolf Town who could compare to him. Not even the Wind Wolf Lord could match his skills in this regard. The only exception was the enigmatic High Priest, who possessed much greater bloodline power.

However, he had never imagined that right before his eyes, a young boy, only eight years old, would display such exquisite mastery of the wind blade. It could have been considered a coincidence if it had happened only once. But twice in a row? Both instances were executed silently and with such precision that the wind blade vanished right before his eyes. It was nothing short of a miracle.

Little did he know that in the world where Tang San had lived his first life, he had survived until the age of twenty-eight in a martial arts sect known as Tang Sect. The Tang Sect excelled in hidden weapons and poison. Tang San himself had an almost fanatical love for hidden weapons, which led him to secretly learn the sect's innermost arts, including the six supreme skills from the inner sect: Mysterious Heaven Technique, Mysterious Jade Hands, Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, Purple Demon Eyes, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and Hidden Weapon Hundred Separation. These six supreme skills made Tang San a formidable master of hidden weapons and combat.

Tang San learned these six supreme skills in his first life and significantly elevated them. After the truth came to light, he chose to leave everything behind and ended his life by jumping off a cliff to prove his honor. This decision led to his first transmigration experience. Through this transmigration, he found himself in the Douluo Continent. He ultimately reached godhood there, drawing upon the foundation of the Tang Sect's supreme skills and the unique power of that world known as the martial soul. Tang San achieved godhood and became a legendary God King in that world.

Among these six supreme Tang Sect skills, the first five could be considered as foundational in order to be able to use the ultimate skillset, Hidden Weapon Hundred Separation.

Tang Sect's hidden weapons could be divided into two main categories. One relied on intricate craftsmanship and mechanical design to be effective. The other depended on techniques and the practitioner's profound inner power in order to be deployed.

In his previous life on the Douluo Continent, Tang San's father was a blacksmith and a secret master of the hammer. Tang San learned the art of blacksmithing from him. With a fresh start in that world, he created many astonishing mechanical hidden weapons.

Armed with his divine consciousness and memories from his previous life, Tang San possessed far more experience than his time on this continent suggested. Moreover, since he had no opportunity to forge weapons here, he focused on cultivating his hidden weapon techniques.
