Maybe it was because Tang San only extracted a small amount of bloodline energy from Wang Yanfeng, but when he saw his teacher the next day, the latter seemed to have returned to normal. However, there was a noticeable change in Wang Yanfeng's gaze when he looked at Tang San.
How could he not see that this eight-year-old child possessed the power of the third order? But this also made Wang Yanfeng feel somewhat relieved. He was relieved that Tang San’s willingness to fight him did not stem from some kind of childish stubbornness, but from an innate combat instinct.
In fact, his talent was so shocking that he could hold his own against Wang Yanfeng as long as the latter did not go all out. Not only did the kid have a deep understanding of the Wind Blade ability, but he also showed remarkable skills in close combat.
In the morning, Wang Yanfeng continued the cultural lessons and taught the students even more. Tang San continued to listen attentively and diligently learned to read and write.
After the lessons were over, Wang Yanfeng called Tang San upstairs again.
Wang Yanfeng said, "Tang San, there's something I need to talk to you about. I mentioned it yesterday, but I think I may not have been clear enough."
Tang San nodded and replied, "Please go ahead, Teacher."
Wang Yanfeng continued, "During our first lesson, I explained the concept of collective punishment to you. You remember that, right?"
Tang San nodded again.
Wang Yanfeng said, "I want to talk to you about collective punishment, but it’s not because I'm afraid of death. I've lived for several decades, which is considered old among humans, and compared to most people, I can think of myself as pretty lucky. At least I could spend my life with my wife, and we've had a good life together. However, there are twenty-seven vassals in our Wind Wolf Town. Every surviving vassal has a strength of at least the third order or higher. Counting the five of you, we have a total of thirty-two people. And if a single one of us is found to be suspicious, it could lead to collective punishment for all of us."
He paused for a moment and drew a deep breath before continuing.
"The word 'redemption' that you mentioned yesterday should not be discussed with anyone. You should also hide your strength as much as possible. You are young and impulsive, and you must control that. Keeping a low profile is not only for your own sake, but also for the sake of all the people in our Wind Wolf Town. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Tang San nodded earnestly.
Wang Yanfeng heard him explain with such confidence that he couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed.
How did he learn so many techniques?
The silence of the previous night not only meant Tang San's breakthrough to the fourth order of the Mysterious Heaven Technique but also Wang Yanfeng's protection and approval. This, in turn, further reinforced Tang San's respect for his Teacher.
Then, he began to teach Wang Yanfeng the basic techniques of the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapon Hundred Separation.
Wang Yanfeng had excellent control skills, actually better than most Wolf Demons. As a result, he learned quickly. The time between the end of morning classes and lunch became the time when Wang Yanfeng would learn from Tang San.
However, in the eyes of the Wang brothers and Ling Muxue, it seemed like Wang Yanfeng was giving special lessons to Tang San in private.
The four of them had no issues with this. Ling Muxue felt the closest to Tang San since they had been together during the most challenging times. As for the Wang brothers, being much older, they subconsciously believed that the eight-year-old Tang San needed more guidance from the teacher, or else he might not pass the assessment three years later.
And when Tang San cultivated inside the wind-element array for the first time, his understanding of this world deepened.
As night fell, the room was bathed in a soft green glow, and the wind spirit stones in the corner emitted gentle ripples of the wind element.
Although only the wind element was in a higher concentration, it still made the spiritual energy in the room several times denser than in the outside world. This wealth of energy was very beneficial for Tang San's cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Technique.
But he wasn't in a hurry to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Technique. Instead, he tried to get a feel of the wind element here.
In his previous life, with his immense divine power and divine consciousness, controlling any element was an effortless task. Everything had changed in this life, starting from scratch, and he had to relearn and reexperience everything.
The wind element here was incredibly light, with a gentle and refreshing scent. When Tang San attempted to communicate with it using his spiritual power, the wind element naturally rippled and gave off a sense of rejection. It was not drawn to him.
