Tang San's mood had not been good recently. The reason was simple: after two years, his Xuantian Gong had still not broken through to the fourth level.
Originally, he thought that by the age of seven at the latest, he should be able to break through to the fourth level. However, when he reached the peak of the third level, he found himself in a bottleneck. This bottleneck seemed not to be due to his own reasons, but rather an oppressive force in this Law World.
From the third level to the fourth level, it seemed to be a difficult journey.
Tang San had been working hard to cultivate and accumulate strength, but he had never been able to break through this layer of suppression. Two years had passed, and he was now eight years old, still at the peak of the third level. It seemed that the accumulated strength could not help him break through.
He had become very proficient in using Leopard Flash and Wind Blade, but their power had not increased with the improvement of his Xuantian Gong cultivation. They were like two fixed skills. This also put all his abilities into a bottleneck.
This situation brought about the biggest problem: the loss of the path to advancement. Without a path to advancement, it meant that he could only continue to grow this way. What could he do with the strength of the peak third level? In this world, he was still a weak existence.
Tang San knew that he had to take some adventurous attempts.
Today, his job was to transport trees.
In the village, the adult men cut down the trees, and he helped the adults move them, using a cart to transport them to the town.
There were seven children in total, helping four adults to transport this cart of wood.
The adults pulled the cart with ropes at the front, while they pushed the cart from behind.
The gravel road was relatively flat, and the cart was not moving fast. The adults at the front were already doing their best, moving forward step by step in a rhythmic manner.
Tang San had been to Wind Wolf Town a few times. The town was inhabited by the Wind Wolf clan of the wolf demons. The Wind Wolf Lord lived in the largest house in the center of the town.
More than a thousand Wind Wolves lived in Wind Wolf Town, and there were seven human slave villages around it, serving as their slaves, working for them and supporting their livelihood.
Wind Wolves were carnivores. Human slaves would occasionally become their food. Of course, there were also other livestock as food.
Relatively speaking, the Wind Wolves were a demon race with less interest in eating humans, so the possibility of humans being eaten was smaller here.
It wasn't that the Wind Wolves were merciful, but rather that they believed that humans were more valuable to them for labor.
While pushing the cart, Tang San observed the situation in the town. He was actually thinking that the reason he couldn't break through and had entered a bottleneck was likely because the Xuantian Gong he cultivated was in conflict with the rules of this world, hence the suppression. With his current abilities, he certainly couldn't break through the constraints of the world's rules.
These rules were generally brought about by the plane's ruler. As a former god king, he was very clear about this.
He had lived here for eight years, and although he had never left Wind Wolf Town, he was certain of one thing: the spiritual energy in this world was extremely rich, which meant that the entire plane was powerful. Such a powerful plane would certainly have extremely strong peak existences, definitely at the god level or above in his original world. Therefore, the plane's ruler, the planet itself, would also be very powerful.
Through previous exchanges with Zhu Jiaxin and the absorption of the wind elemental bloodline energy from the wolf demons, he vaguely felt that the Xuantian Gong seemed to have the ability to devour the powers of this world. Perhaps, the reason he was being suppressed by the rules was due to this.
To break through, relying solely on the Xuantian Gong would become very difficult. He had to find another way. From his perspective as a god king, the most direct method was to gain the recognition of the plane's ruler and the rules.
The plane's ruler was often an intangible existence, and all the rules set for the plane were to protect itself and avoid breaking the balance. Therefore, the best way for Tang San to continue breaking through was to strengthen his power in this world, hide his Xuantian Gong as much as possible, and reduce the rules' perception and suppression of him. This way, he could find an opportunity to break through suddenly and continue cultivating.
He was observing Wind Wolf Town, wanting to take a risk and try. For him now, the best way to enhance his abilities in this plane was to strengthen the Wind Wolf clan abilities or the Leopard Flash ability he already possessed.
Leopard Flash was definitely untraceable, but Wind Wolf Town was full of Wind Wolves. His plan was to find a suitable Wind Wolf to target, a third-level Wind Wolf for the attempt. He didn't need to kill, just knock out the opponent and see if he could use the Xuantian Gong to extract the bloodline energy to enhance his existing Wind Blade ability. If it worked, he would observe whether the Wind Wolf from whom he extracted the bloodline energy could recover its bloodline energy. If it could recover, it would be good for his cover. As the Wind Blade continued to improve, the Wind Wolf bloodline in his body would become more concentrated, helping him break through the bottleneck of the Xuantian Gong.
This was the plan Tang San had carefully formulated. With his Leopard Flash, Wind Blade abilities, and the peak third-level Xuantian Gong, he was confident in ambushing a Wind Wolf.
As they were walking, the cart suddenly paused, causing the children behind to instinctively stop. The smallest and thinnest child even fell on his buttocks due to the jolt.
Tang San quickly controlled his strength, not pushing hard, and reacted the same as the other children.
The adult men in front stopped, seemingly looking in a certain direction.
Tang San could see from the side that their eyes seemed to be filled with envy.
It was important to note that these humans, who had been raised as slaves from a young age, were usually very numb and rarely spoke. It was very rare for them to show such different emotions.
Following their gaze, Tang San saw that a few people were posting notices not far away.
Indeed, the people posting the notices were humans. However, compared to them, these people were at least wearing clean and tidy clothes.
Tang San's eyes narrowed slightly, and he activated the Purple Extreme Devil's Eye to see clearly.
The notice read that a bloodline screening would be held in three days. Slaves from all villages who had Wind Wolf bloodline could come for testing. If successful, they would be allowed to live in Wind Wolf Town and receive training as vassals.
Bloodline screening?
Tang San instantly understood.
He often came to Wind Wolf Town for labor, but this was the first time he had seen such a notice. There was no doubt that the humans posting the notices were vassals of the Wind Wolf clan, possessing some Wind Wolf bloodline and thus being much higher in status than ordinary slaves. At least, they were no longer slaves.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a slight stir in his heart. If so, his plan could be adjusted.
Being a slave was a good cover, but it also had its problems, mainly the lack of contact with the world.
Without sufficient contact, he could not possibly feel more things or access the true resources of this world. The bloodline screening in Wind Wolf Town was undoubtedly an opportunity.
For humans, if they had any self-respect, they would understand that this was a great humiliation.
What kind of humans could possibly have Wind Wolf bloodline? They were undoubtedly half-breeds, and what did half-breeds mean? They were the offspring of Wind Wolf demons and humans. Humans in this world had no qualifications to be companions of the demon race, which meant they could only be objects of animalistic desires.
