Chapter 20

To be on the safe side, Tang San observed for a few more days. By around the fifth day, the bloodline power of the wolf demon had basically recovered to its original state.

This gave Tang San a clear idea. What he needed to do next was to find a fourth-rank wolf demon to attempt his breakthrough.

But this also posed a challenge for him.

A fourth-rank wolf demon was completely different from a third-rank one. One rank difference meant a significant difference in strength. Generally, third-rank wolf demons were over 1.9 meters tall and very strong. However, fourth-rank wolf demons were over 2.2 meters tall, and their strength was not just a matter of being strong. A fourth-rank wolf demon could easily handle four or five third-rank wolf demons at the same time.

The transition from third-rank to fourth-rank was a significant threshold. Although Tang San was confident in his ability to fight a fourth-rank wolf demon with his well-practiced Tang Sect techniques and abilities like Leopard Flash and Wind Blade, it was unlikely that he could defeat a fourth-rank wolf demon without making any noise. Once there was any commotion, he might be exposed.

Therefore, his current plan was either to face a fourth-rank wolf demon in the wild or to think of a way involving his teacher.

Tang San did not rush into things. He continued to study and practice every day. From Wang Yanfeng's teachings, he learned more about the history and culture of the Spirit Continent. This knowledge was also important to him.

Half a month passed quickly, and everyone's bloodline power had improved to varying degrees, and they could all release Wind Blades. However, in terms of Wind Blades, the other four were significantly behind Tang San.

"Starting today, we will add a new course: practical combat. Only through practical combat can you further improve your fighting skills." It was afternoon again, and today's class seemed a bit different.

"Follow me to the courtyard." As he spoke, Wang Yanfeng led the five to the courtyard.

After half a month of study, the five could now enter the bloodline stimulation state and practice the Wind Wolf Transformation on their own. This was the first time for the practical combat course.

The courtyard was not very large, but it provided enough space for movement. The wooden fence was sufficient to block the view from outside.

Wang Yanfeng stood in the center of the courtyard and said, "You will take turns. Attack me. Wang Chao, you go first. Use the Wind Wolf Transformation."

"Alright." Wang Chao responded and stood three meters away from Wang Yanfeng.

"Begin." Wang Yanfeng decided to face them directly to avoid them hurting each other due to their lack of control over their powers.

Wang Chao took a deep breath, and immediately, his blood and qi surged. He let out a wolf howl, and his body swelled, stretching his clothes. Fur sprouted, his teeth protruded, and his eyes glowed with a faint green light. A hint of ferocity was evident. Compared to his previous frailty, he now appeared strong among his peers after using the Wind Wolf Transformation.

"Attack me." Wang Yanfeng nodded at him.

Wang Chao growled and, with the Wind Wolf Transformation, not only did his physical abilities strengthen, but he also had a hint of the ferocity of a wind wolf.

He used his legs to leap directly at Wang Yanfeng.

This leap had no technique, but both speed and strength were clearly much greater than those of ordinary humans.

Wang Yanfeng did not use the Wind Wolf Transformation. He simply took a step to the side and avoided Wang Chao's leap.

"Too slow. Pay attention to using your wolf claws as weapons. Aim for your opponent's vital points."

Wang Chao's leap missed, and he turned around, leaping again, this time using his right wolf claw to attack Wang Yanfeng's chest.

Wang Yanfeng took another step to the side, avoiding the attack.

Tang San watched from the side and noticed that Wang Yanfeng's judgment was very accurate. It seemed like he only took a step to avoid the attack, but in reality, it was a precise prediction of Wang Chao's movements. He dodged while giving pointers on how to attack.

Tang San could tell that his teacher had rich combat experience. Throughout the session, his eyes remained calm, and he could pinpoint the problems with Wang Chao's attacks.

After about five minutes, Wang Chao was already squatting on the ground, panting heavily, and the Wind Wolf Transformation had ended. With his current bloodline strength, he could only maintain the Wind Wolf Transformation for about five minutes.

"Pay attention to the problems and mistakes he made. Also, remember that before your bloodline power reaches the second rank, do not easily use Wind Blades. Wind Blades, which release energy outward, will consume a lot of your bloodline power. Unless you have a sure kill, using them will shorten the duration of your Wind Wolf Transformation, making you more passive."

Wang Yanfeng then gestured to Wang Zhong, "You saw the mistakes he made. Pay attention to avoiding them. Come on."

Wang Zhong nodded and also stimulated his bloodline, releasing his Wind Wolf Transformation.

His Wind Wolf Transformation was less noticeable than Wang Chao's, but his eyes were sharper. His small body crouched slightly, and in the next moment, he leaped at Wang Yanfeng.

Wang Yanfeng moved his foot slightly, as if to dodge, and Wang Zhong's leap suddenly paused. His right foot touched the ground, and he changed direction, heading towards the path where Wang Yanfeng seemed to be dodging.

However, Wang Yanfeng's foot only moved slightly and then stopped, so Wang Zhong's leap missed. It looked like he intentionally missed. Among the five, only Tang San could see that Wang Yanfeng had used a feint to deceive Wang Zhong.

"Good, you didn't use all your strength and knew to change direction. But you also need to pay attention to your opponent's movements. Continue." Wang Yanfeng praised Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong twisted his body and leaped at Wang Yanfeng again. Compared to Wang Chao, he was clearly more agile. After several failed attacks, he would actively pull back to catch his breath.

He also lasted about five minutes, despite his Wind Wolf Transformation being clearly inferior to Wang Chao's. In terms of combat talent, he was clearly superior to Wang Chao.

Next was Wang Xiaolei, who only lasted three minutes in the Wind Wolf Transformation. He was younger and not as strong as Wang Chao and Wang Zhong. However, Wang Yanfeng had previously praised him for his better results in Wind Wolf Transformation bloodline cultivation.

The fourth was Ling Muxue.

"Teacher, can I attack however I want?" Ling Muxue asked Wang Yanfeng in a soft voice.

"Of course, attack freely. You won't hurt me. Let me see how our little Muxue fights." Wang Yanfeng was quite satisfied with his only female disciple. Ling Muxue's effort in cultivation was no less than that of the boys, and because she had developed her intelligence early, her learning and cultivation were very effective.

Ling Muxue took a deep breath, and her hair gradually turned grayish-green. Wolf fur sprouted from the back of her neck, and her eyes glowed with a green light. She flashed and rushed at Wang Yanfeng.

Her speed was clearly faster than the three Wang brothers. Although her leap had no technique, it was very agile.

Wang Yanfeng immediately saw that her leap was all-out, with good speed but without avoiding the mistakes made by the three Wang brothers. He frowned slightly and took a step to dodge.

Ling Muxue's leap naturally missed, but as she missed, she suddenly twisted her body in mid-air. Without changing her direction, she twisted, which would have made her lose control and fall to the ground. However, her body also flipped over.

A Wind Blade instantly shot from her hand, aiming straight for Wang Yanfeng's shoulder.
