Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 112: Golden Wing Wind Splitting Slash

Chapter 112: Golden Wing Wind Splitting Slash

The Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer’s essence lay not in the rotation or the number of attacks but in the cumulative power of each strike. Every blow must be stronger than the last, stacking up to produce increasingly fierce power.

The more Gu Li practiced, the more exhilarated he became, paying no heed to the day’s fatigue. He continued training until the next day’s dawn, finally resting only when he was utterly exhausted.

The plan to move forward was disrupted. Wu Bingji decided that everyone should rest in place for a day to contemplate Tang San’s Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer. For him, it was just a matter of reference, as he felt that continuing to practice the Flicking Dart was the better choice for him.

To Tang San’s surprise, it wasn’t just Gu Li who was interested in the Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer; Cheng Zicheng’s interest was also quite significant.

Activating the Golden Roc Transformation, she continuously danced and spun in the air, slashing out with her wings and emitting sharp cries.

Strangely enough, it seemed pretty effective; her slashes indeed produced an accumulating force. Unfortunately, the surrounding trees and stones suffered the consequences, continually scarred by Cheng Zicheng’s golden wings.

The Golden Roc excelled at flight, and its flexible and sturdy wings were not only what propelled it in the air, but also its best means of attack and defense. However, at this point, Cheng Zicheng was in the same situation as Gu Li—she lacked a technique that would allow her to make good use of her weapons.

Tang San’s continuously spinning figure from the day before significantly moved her. She seemed to have found a path to the heavens as she constantly spun in the air.

Seeing her sound understanding and genuine interest, Tang San guided her on the Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer based on her situation.

Unlike Gu Li’s meteor hammer-like tail, the main characteristic of the Golden Wings was sharpness, not blunt force. The main problem with Cheng Zicheng using the Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer is whether her body could withstand the continuously increasing power. The Golden Wings were not something made of energy or new limbs she grew when she transformed, but rather her own transformed arms, so if they were damaged, it meant her arms were damaged.

Due to this particularity, when she used the Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer, she had to maximize the sharpness of the Golden Wings as much as possible while infusing sufficient bloodline power into them to ensure they aren’t damaged. In addition, the angle of attack had to be carefully considered as well.

“Sister Zicheng, you must always be aware of the state of your Golden Wings when you’re attacking. The moment they show signs of being unable to withstand it, you must stop immediately. Otherwise, if your wings are injured and you can’t fly, you’ll be at the mercy of your opponent.”

“I understand.” Cheng Zi nodded. “My Golden Wings will become stronger as my cultivation improves, anyway. I will infuse them with as much bloodline power as possible. I might not be able to use as many strikes as you and Gu Li do, but I think that it’ll still be effective if I can stack a couple of them. Plus, my flying speed is really good, I can use that to build up power. I can start spinning in advance, and since speed and power are proportional, if I spin a couple of times to increase my speed, my first strike will be stronger than Gu Li’s first strike.”

Tang San gave her a thumbs up. This was a perfect example of learning by analogy and adapting knowledge for personal use.

Du Bai chuckled and said, “Zicheng, if you use this, it can’t be called Disorder Wind Splitting Hammer anymore. How about I name it for you? Let’s call it Golden Wing Wind Splitting Slash. What do you think?”

Cheng Zi glanced at him but replied, “It actually doesn’t sound that bad. Let’s go with that for now. I need to practice well to see how to use it best. Hehe, I’ll surprise everyone when we get back.”

Cheng Zi and Gu Li practiced their techniques, while Wu Bing Ji continued his training with Flicking Dart and ice element compression. Tang San meditated, cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique. Only Du Bai seemed idle, gazing into the distance absentmindedly.

He also asked Tang San how to improve his Celestial Fox Transformation, but Tang San felt somewhat helpless about this.

He did, in fact, have some thoughts about the Celestial Fox Transformation. The main reason for Du Bai’s slow progress seemed to be that his Celestial Fox bloodline was too diluted. Typically, members of the Celestial Fox clan wouldn’t experience such stagnation in their cultivation. However, in his case, the progress was curiously slow.

Regarding this, Tang San didn’t have many reasonable solutions. The only things he could think of were intense stimulation of the bloodline and the enhancement of spiritual power.

Finding an opportunity for intense stimulation was key.

That day, they simply didn’t leave their spot, but Wu Bing Ji, Gu Li, and Cheng Zi all felt their gains were even more remarkable than they would’ve been if they had continued exploring.

As night fell and everyone was tired from the day’s cultivation, Tang San offered to keep watch at night. After all, he had meditated all day and he was well-rested and in the best mental state.

Wu Bing Ji, Gu Li, and Cheng Zi found places in the trees to meditate and rest, while Du Bai stayed under the tree, keeping Tang San company.

“Little Tang, what should I do?” Du Bai said, sounding somewhat despondent.

“What’s wrong all of a sudden?” Tang San asked.

Du Bai said, “I am eleven, almost twelve years old. When I was younger, my teachers told me that my Celestial Fox Transformation had great potential, it was a first-tier Demonic God Transformation bloodline, all that. At that time, I was the most important person to protect in the Redemption Society, and my Celestial Fox Transformation was actually top secret. I barely even cultivated, but by the time I was eight, I had already reached the third order. I was everybody’s darling and they all had hopes for me. But then…in the past three years, it just…stopped. After I reached the third order, I felt my Celestial Fox Transformation stagnated, and I haven’t made any progress at all since then.

“I have tried many methods to improve, but nothing worked. At most, my perception with the Celestial Fox Vision got a little bit better. The thing is, the third-order Celestial Fox Vision can see others’ cultivation levels and sense their fortune, but it’s very limited. If the other person’s level is much higher, it’s completely useless. You know…I also want to be stronger and stop being a burden. No one ever told me anything bad and the teachers are always encouraging me, but still…. I feel more and more like a piece of trash..”

Tang San didn’t say anything and simply listened silently to Du Bai’s narrative. It was clear that Du Bai was affected by the improvement in strength of the other three over the past two days.

“I also want to fight and I also want to be an important part of the team. But my body is weak, and the Celestial Fox Vision isn’t much use at all, so how should I improve? I once overheard the mayor saying that my Celestial Fox Vision might be stuck at the third order because my bloodline is too diluted. If that’s the case, then there’s no point in having the bloodline at all. A third-order Celestial Fox Vision is basically useless. I want to ask if your method of cultivating spiritual power can help me break through.”

Tang San looked at him deeply and said, “It’s difficult.”

Hearing this, Du Bai’s eyes dimmed significantly, and he gave a bitter smile. “I thought so.”

“Because your Celestial Fox Transformation is so high in tier, you probably need much more bloodline energy to break through to the next order. Every three orders is a major stage, and breaking through from the third to the fourth is a significant barrier. If you overcome it, you can reach the sixth order. If not, you will remain at the third order forever.

“The method of cultivating spiritual power I told everyone about is effective as long as you don’t have to cross a major order bottleneck. For example, it would benefit Gu Li until he reaches the sixth order, but not to the seventh. If a major bottleneck blocks you, it won’t help you. Your total amount of spiritual power is also limited by major bottlenecks, so no matter how much you overdraw it, it can’t replace the evolution of the bloodline.”

This was all true. Previously, when Tang San was cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique up to the third order, he had a clear sense of this. The difficulty of advancing from the third to the fourth order was immense. Moreover, at that time, he was also under the suppression of the plane, which made advancement even more challenging. Thankfully, his extensive knowledge and experience from his previous life as a God King, combined with the unique devouring ability of the Mysterious Heaven Technique, allowed him to make a successful breakthrough.
