Chapter 22

Even before, when he had just obtained the Wind Blade ability, the strength of the Wind Blade itself was limited. However, with the techniques recorded in the Hundred Tricks of Hidden Weapons and his years of insight, combined with the mental strength improved through the cultivation of the Purple Extreme Demon Eye, he had long since mastered the Wind Blade to a high degree. After devouring the bloodline of a third-stage Wolf Demon, his Wind Blade's power had become even stronger.

He had been very restrained in his attack on Wang Yanfeng. Otherwise, he could have compressed the Wind Blade to unleash a more powerful attack, making it much harder for Wang Yanfeng to block it easily.

Wang Yanfeng looked at him in shock, but Tang San remained calm, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Without immediately asking, Wang Yanfeng said, "Alright, today's practical class is over. After you return, carefully reflect on the problems you encountered during today's practical session. In the future, we will have a practical class every three days. I hope to see your improvement next time. This is related to whether you can pass the assessment when you face the Wind Wolves in three years."

Everyone returned to the house, but Wang Yanfeng called Tang San and took him upstairs.

There were two rooms on the second floor. Tang San had been up here before. The two rooms were Wang Yanfeng's and Qiu Jing's residences, and the other one was probably a guest room. He had never entered that guest room. To his surprise, this time Wang Yanfeng opened that room and beckoned him in.

"Come in with me."

Tang San followed Wang Yanfeng into the room as instructed.

As soon as he entered, his eyebrows slightly raised.

This was an empty room, yes, there was no furniture or decorations in the entire room.

But as soon as he entered, Tang San clearly felt that the wind elements in the room were much more concentrated than outside. Although he couldn't easily mobilize his divine consciousness, the existence of that thread of divine consciousness made his mental strength grow much faster than ordinary people, and his perception was also more acute.

Soon, Tang San discovered the source of these wind elements, which came from some minerals placed in the four corners of the room.

The wind elements were due to these minerals.

Wang Yanfeng closed the door and his expression became serious, "Tell me, how did you gain control over the Wind Blade?"

Tang San blinked and looked at him, "Teacher..."

Wang Yanfeng's face was stern as he looked at him, "You must explain clearly. This concerns your life and death. I need a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, you won't be able to stay here. What's going on with you? When you first awakened, I felt something was off. Normally, humans who awaken the Wind Wolf bloodline first undergo changes similar to those of a Wind Wolf, transforming and enhancing their physical strength, and then gradually gather the wind elements from their bloodline, gradually strengthening this power to control the Wind Blade ability."

"But you never transformed into a Wind Wolf, yet you can use the Wind Blade, and its power seems to have increased rapidly. Today, you even used such a high level of control. This shouldn't be an innate ability, right? The Wind Blade can be said to come from the power of the bloodline, but where did your control over the Wind Blade come from? No one taught you, and I don't believe you were born with it. Moreover, how did you gain your enlightenment? You need to explain that to me as well."

Tang San fell silent, slightly lowering his head, seemingly thinking about how to explain everything Wang Yanfeng had asked. Wang Yanfeng didn't rush him, just waiting quietly.

After a long while, Tang San slowly spoke, "Teacher, I actually awakened a long time ago. Not this time."

"Hmm, when?" Wang Yanfeng seemed to have guessed as much.

"At six, when I was six years old. It happened by chance. One night, I was very hungry and went out to look for food. I ended up at the edge of the village, in the forest, where I met someone. He grabbed me, and I was scared and wanted to scream, but he covered my mouth. In my fear, I awakened the power in my bloodline."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "That person seemed to sense my awakening. He told me not to scream and then let me go. He examined my body and then asked if I wanted to learn from him. At that time, I didn't understand anything, not even what learning meant. He told me some things and gave me some food. He told me to come to him every night, and he would give me food. I was often hungry, so I went every night. He started teaching me things, and gradually, I learned more. He taught me how to control the Wind Blade."

"What did he look like? Do you know his name?" Wang Yanfeng pressed.

Tang San shook his head in confusion, "He never told me. He said he would tell me when I grew up. But three months ago, he never appeared again. Then came the awakening ceremony."

"So, your control over the Wind Blade was taught by him. Did he explain why you can't transform into a Wind Wolf?"

Tang San said, "He said that transformation isn't always good because it limits you to a specific demon transformation. You should only take the essence of it. Then he taught me a cultivation method, and after that, I couldn't transform anymore. He told me that this method is very special and can't be passed on. If you learn it at the beginning of your awakening, it will lead to death."

"Cultivation method? A method exclusive to humans?" Wang Yanfeng's eyes lit up.

Tang San said, "I don't know. I only remember that the last time I saw him, he told me, no matter what happens in the future, remember to aim for the redemption of humanity. One day, humans will no longer be slaves."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Yanfeng's entire body trembled, his face filled with shock, and he subconsciously clenched his fists, as if he had been strongly stimulated, unable to recover for a long time.

"Redemption, redemption..." He muttered, his lips pressed together. Tang San could feel the intense emotion in him at that moment.

After a long while, Wang Yanfeng's expression finally calmed down. He took a deep breath, steadied his emotions, and said in a deep voice, "Tang San, remember, don't mention what you told me today to anyone, not even Mu Xue and the others. Keep it buried in your heart. In the future, if someone asks you who taught you the Wind Blade technique, you can tell them it was me. Understand?"

Tang San looked at him and blinked again, "Teacher, do you want to learn? I can teach you. That person said that as long as it's a human, they can be taught."

Wang Yanfeng's heart stirred. Today, he was truly amazed by Tang San's two uses of the Wind Blade. He admitted to himself that his control over wind elements was already very refined, and it was difficult to improve further. However, the invisible Wind Blade that Tang San used today seemed to open a new door for him.

"This..." He hesitated, learning from his student?

"Teacher, I think you might not be able to beat me," Tang San suddenly said.

"Huh?" Wang Yanfeng was taken aback. He looked at him and saw Tang San's eyes, which were both childish and serious.

"Can't beat me?"

Tang San nodded, "That person told me not to easily show my combat strength to others. That day, I really wanted to kill them. But I could feel that I probably couldn't beat the two strongest ones. But ordinary Wolf Demons, I should be able to beat them."

Wang Yanfeng said, "I can't either?"

Tang San said, "Teacher's energy level is probably higher than mine, but your Wind Blade, you probably can't beat it."
