Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 23: Mysterious Heaven Technique -Fourth Order

Chapter 23: Mysterious Heaven Technique – Fourth Order

In his mind, no matter how masterful Tang San’s control over the wind blades was, it wouldn’t matter as long as the kid couldn’t break through his defense. Tang San, who could not even transform, would undeniably be defeated in a melee.

The room was not very large, and in the next instant, Wang Yanfeng would be standing right in front of Tang San.

However, Tang San’s lips curled up at that moment, revealing a faint smile. Actually, what he wanted was exactly this: for Wang Yanfeng to come close!

In terms of absolute speed, he was no match for Wang Yanfeng, who was at the fourth order. However, when it came to close combat, Tang San was confident in his abilities. No matter how qualified he was, Wang Yanfeng’s combat experience couldn’t compare to his. After all, he was a former God King who had seen countless battles in his past life!

Tang San’s toes lightly tapped the ground, and the next instant, his figure flickered like a ghost, miraculously escaping Wang Yanfeng’s frontal lunge.

Tang San immediately maneuvered to Wang Yanfeng’s side, crouching down and making use of his small stature to easily dodge Wang Yanfeng’s muscular arm. Then, his right hand shot out like lightning. With fingers that shone like white jade, he smacked Wang Yanfeng’s armpit in a split second. The sourc𝗲 of this content no/v(𝒆l)bi((n))

Wang Yanfeng’s body was wrapped in green light, and coupled with his robust physique, he rightfully considered his defenses nearly impenetrable.

Still, with this strike, Tang San pinpointed a weak spot. Combined with the power amplification granted by his Mysterious Jade Hand, this weak spot allowed him to easily puncture through Wang Yanfeng’s protective wind-element energy and hit him square.

The armpit area was a vulnerable spot, no matter how strong the one’s physique was, and while it was normally easy to defend, it was also a real problem when it was hit.

Wang Yanfeng felt an intense pain in his armpit, as if he was stabbed by a needle, and then half of his body went numb.

As he was reeling in shock, Tang San’s right hand shot out again, hitting him once more in the armpit, and this time with a powerful punch.

Wang Yanfeng’s legs went limp and he slumped to the floor. Tang San leaned in, pressing his shoulder against Wang Yanfeng to prevent him from regaining his balance, and flipped him face-down onto the floor.

Wang Yanfeng felt a profound weakness in the right half of his body, and he realized that he was unable to exert any power. His heart was filled with shock. He couldn’t even figure out how he had been defeated. Everything had happened so fast. Of course, part of it was because he feared hurting Tang San, so he had refrained from using his strongest skill, the wind blades, for a full-scale attack. However, even with that taken into account, the fact of the matter was that Tang San had just knocked Wang Yanfeng down in hand-to-hand combat, leaving him in disbelief.

Tang San retreated quickly, but his palm was surrounded by a green light. During the three clashes just now, he had silently absorbed some of the fourth-order Wind Wolf bloodline power from Wang Yanfeng using the Mysterious Heaven Technique. Actually, the drain of bloodline power was one of the reasons why Wang Yanfeng felt weak.

Even though the absorbed energy was not much, it was still fourth-order energy. Almost immediately, Tang San felt a change in the energy in his body, as if it was boiling. His guess was correct—it seemed he needed a bloodline power of the same attribute but of a higher level to help him break through!

Feeling this change, Tang San retreated to a distance and sat on the ground, panting heavily as if he had exhausted all his strength.

In fact, with the deep, rich energy and recovery ability granted by his Mysterious Heaven Technique, he could easily use the wind blades more than a dozen times without any problems. In fact, he could do that while also using the Leopard Flash.

In terms of actual strength, if they were to go all out, Tang San probably had a sixty percent chance of defeating Wang Yanfeng anyway. The man had been holding back, yes, but so had Tang San. Even though there was a gap in their cultivation levels, Tang San had much more experience and better martial arts skills. In his previous life, it had been relatively easy for him to defeat higher-level opponents.

But in this life, he was yet to fully understand the world he was in, so it was difficult for him to get an advantage. Otherwise, he would have become stronger even faster.

The pain gradually faded away, and Wang Yanfeng sat up and looked at Tang San with a complex expression in his eyes. He had never imagined that he would lose to an eight-year-old kid one day. But a loss was a loss, and he wouldn’t make excuses.

“Teacher, I feel a bit tired. Can I go back and rest for a while?” Tang San looked at Wang Yanfeng with a pitiful expression.

Wang Yanfeng’s mouth twitched. “Go ahead. Remember what I told you today? Don’t tell anyone else. Otherwise, there will be dire consequences.”

“Okay, teacher,” Tang San hurriedly agreed. Then he stood up and left the room.

He wanted to embrace the feeling of a breakthrough and quickly advance his Mysterious Heaven Technique to the fourth order. Of course he was excited—when his cultivation reached the following order, everything would be different.

Back in his room, Wang Zhong was already practicing. Tang San was still in a good mood when he climbed into bed. Judging from Wang Yanfeng’s reaction, his judgment was correct. His teacher naturally had his doubts about the whole situation, but he would still protect his student. Considering that, Tang San also didn’t mind teaching Wang Yanfeng some of his hidden weapon techniques.

What’s more, there was an unexpected surprise today: the Wind Elemental Array in Wang Yanfeng’s room on the second floor. This was definitely something that could be used for cultivation. At present, his control over the wind element was based on the imprints granted by the Wind Wolf bloodline, which required continuous absorption to improve. It seemed impossible to control the wind element directly, even if he had enough spiritual energy since he couldn’t access it by himself. This was a limitation imposed by the rules of this dimension.

To break this rule, according to Wang Yanfeng’s explanation of the hierarchy in the Falan world, he would probably have to reach at least the ninth order before he could have an opportunity.

Cross-legged, he sat down and activated the Mysterious Heaven Technique. Under the swirling green light, the boiling energy quickly broke through the previously blocked bottleneck.

Unlike last time, his attempt was successful!

The aura emanating from Tang San became noticeably denser, and his absorption of the natural elemental energy also went up a notch. He had finally reached the fourth order of the Mysterious Heaven Technique.

Having successfully broken through the fourth order, Tang San immediately felt that the entire world changed—no, actually, it was his perception of the world that had changed.

It was a strange feeling; in his perception, this world was calling out to him, and he could sense a rich and powerful spiritual energy belonging to this world. Everything seemed to be beckoning to him. Furthermore, the imprint of his Wind Wolf bloodline had deepened noticeably. Even though he hadn’t consumed much, the power of a fourth-order bloodline still strengthened him.

Most important, however, it was the improvement of the Mysterious Heaven Technique. Through the years of cultivation and the experience gained from this successful breakthrough, Tang San was gradually coming to understand the relationship between his Mysterious Heaven Technique and the Demonic God Transformation. Or rather, the relationship between his Mysterious Heaven Technique and the demonic bloodlines.

To become even more powerful, he needed to acquire more skills. Therefore, he planned to find stronger demons with abilities that suited him, consume them, and imbue himself with their bloodline abilities. That way, he could gain their bloodline powers and improve his own. It was undoubtedly the best choice.

Wind Wolf Town was not the place for him to stay indefinitely. He needed to go to the major cities of the Tianyu Empire to encounter demons with more potent bloodlines. However, he needed to have the power to consume them. Three years, that was how long it would take him to establish himself here. According to Wang Yanfeng, once he had the status of a vassal, he could freely travel around the continent…with the consent of his master, of course.

In three years, he would head to the major cities. That was the goal Tang San had set for himself. In the meantime, accumulation was the most crucial thing for him for the next three years. Gathering more strength, mastering the skills he remembered from his past life, and enhancing his powers.
