<h4>Chapter 19: Combat Training</h4>


    To be cautious, Tang San observed it for several more days, and by the fifth day, the wolf demon''s bloodline power had mainly returned to its original state.


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


    But this also left him in a bit of a pinch.


    A fourth-order wolf demon was entirely different from a third-order one. Just one order higher, and the strength difference was significant. Typically, third-order wolf demons stood about 1.9 meters tall and were incredibly robust. However, fourth-order wolf demons surpassed third-order ones by a full head and were beyond just brawny. A single fourth-order wolf demon could handle four or five third-order ones without any issue.


    Between the third to the fourth order was a significant threshold. Tang San had his trusty and well-practiced Tang Sect techniques, in addition to new abilities like Leopard sh and Wind de, and he had confidence in facing a fourth-order wolf demon. However, he had serious doubts that he could defeat one without making any noise. Once there was anymotion, he might very well be exposed.


    Therefore, his current options were to confront a fourth-order wolf demon in the wilderness or to fight his teacher.


    Tang San didn''t rush things and continued his daily routine of learning and training. Under Wang Yanfeng''s guidance, he gained a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the Daemon Continent, which was equally important to him.


    Half a month had passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone''s bloodlines had improved to varying degrees. They were all able to release wind des by now. However, the other four were stillgging behind Tang San.


    "Starting today, we''ll add another ss: practicalbat. Only through real battles can you further enhance yourbat skills," Wang Yanfeng announced in the afternoon, making it clear that today''s lesson was going to be different.


    "Follow me to the courtyard," he said, leading the five of them outside.


    After half a month of learning, all five could enter the bloodline stimtion state by themselves and cultivate Wind Wolf Transformation independently. However, today''s practicalbat ss was a first for them.


    The courtyard was a little small, but it provided enough space for their activities, and the wooden fence ensured that they were shielded from prying eyes.


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


    "Alright," Wang Chao agreed and positioned himself three meters away from Wang Yanfeng.


    "Let''s start." Wang Yanfeng chose to directly face them because he was concerned about their control over their powers, and he didn''t want them to harm each other inadvertently.


    Wang Chao took a deep breath, and suddenly, his energy surged. He let out a wolf''s howl, and his body expanded slightly, stretching his clothes. His hair stood on end, his teeth protruded, and his eyes emitted a faint bluish-green light. He was a very normal person, but right now, he had a rather ferocious aura.


    He was usually fairlynky, skinnier than other young men of the same age, but thanks to the Wind Wolf Transformation, he now looked as if he had been lifting weights starting from the cradle.


    Wang Yanfeng nodded at him. "Attack me."


    Wang Chao let out a low growl. The Wind Wolf Transformation not only strengthened his physical abilities but also instilled in him a ferocity reminiscent of a true wind wolf.


    Wang Chao lunged directly at Wang Yanfeng.


    This pouncecked any technique, but the speed and strength were leagues above an ordinary human''s.


    Wang Yanfeng did not use Wind Wolf Transformation but simply took a step sideways to avoid Wang Chao''s pounce.


    "You’re way too slow. You should be using your wolf ws as attack weapons. Target the opponent''s vitals."


    Wang Chao’s attack missed the target, but he quickly turned around and lunged again, extending his right wolf w toward Wang Yanfeng''s chest, aiming for his heart.


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


    Tang San watched from the sidelines, and he noticed that Wang Yanfeng''s judgment was truly exact. It seemed that every time he took just one casual step to effortlessly evade Wang Chao''s attacks. In reality, it resulted from his urate anticipation of the teen’s movements. As he agilely dodged, he guided Wang Chao on how to execute his attacks.


    Tang San could tell that his teacher possessed a wealth ofbat experience. Throughout the training, his teacher''s gaze remained calm, and he always pinpointed Wang Chao''s issues urately.


    Less than five minutes had passed, but Wang Chao was already crouched on the ground, panting heavily. His Wind Wolf Transformation had also ended. With his current bloodline strength, he could only sustain the transformation for about five minutes.


    "He made some mistakes and encountered issues you should all pay attention to. Also, remember that until your bloodline strength reaches the second order, you should not use wind des casually. Using abilities like the Wind de that release energy externally will consume your bloodline strength faster. Unless you are certain it''s a killing blow, refrain from using it. Otherwise, it will shorten the duration of your Wind Wolf Transformation and make you more vulnerable."


    While saying this, Wang Yanfeng waved to Wang Zhong. "You saw the mistakes he made just now. Be cautious. Come on."


    Wang Zhong didn''t say anything, either. He nodded and stimted his bloodline, activating his Wind Wolf Transformation. His transformed shape was slightly smaller than Wang Chao''s, but his eyes were sharper. He crouched slightly, and in the next instant, he pounced toward Wang Yanfeng.


    Wang Yanfeng''s footsteps made a slight movement as if he was about to evade, but at that exact moment, Wang Zhong''s pouncing figure suddenly paused. His right foot touched the ground for a moment, changing his direction, which was the same as Wang Yanfeng''s apparent evasion route.


    In turn, Wang Yanfeng''s feet only made a slight movement forward and then immediately off to the side, causing Wang Zhong to miss his target. It looked as if he had intentionallyunched himself in the wrong direction.


    Among the five, only Tang San could see that Wang Yanfeng''s earlier movement had been a feint, and it had sessfully deceived Wang Zhong.


    "Not bad. You didn''t exhaust your strength and adapted by changing direction. However, pay attention to your opponent''s movements. Keep going," Wang Yanfeng praised Wang Zhong.


    Wang Zhong, after missing his attack, twisted his body and pounced at Wang Yanfeng again. Comparatively, he was more agile than Wang Chao. After several unsessful attacks, Wang Zhong proactively created distance to catch his breath. He managed to hold on for about five minutes as well, despite his lower proficiency in the Wind Wolf Transformationpared to Wang Chao. In terms ofbat talent, he surpassed his elder brother.


    Next, Wang Xiaolei only held on for three minutes in his Wind Wolf Transformation. He was younger and less adept at fightingpared to Wang Chao and Wang Zhong. However, Wang Yanfeng had previously praised him for having better results in the Wind Wolf Transformation bloodline training. He had a lot to learn, but his potential was quite a bit better.


    The fourth one to go was Ling Muxue.


    "Teacher, can I attack in any way?" Ling Muxue looked at Wang Yanfeng and asked softly.


    "Of course, you can attack in any way you want. You won''t be able to hurt me. Let me see how our little Muxue''sbat abilities are." Wang Yanfeng was quite pleased with his only female disciple. Ling Muxue''s dedication to her cultivation was no less than the boys’. Her learning and training results were impressive because she had started her cultivation early.


    Ling Muxue also took a deep breath. Her hair gradually turned bluish-gray, wolf fur emerged at the nape of her neck, and a green light shimmered in her eyes. With a swift movement, she charged toward Wang Yanfeng.


    Her speed was noticeably greater than that of the Wang siblings, and although her attack stillcked some finesse, it appeared graceful.


    Wang Yanfeng immediately noticed that she had put her full strength into the charge. Her speed was good, but she had not avoided the mistakes made by the Wang siblings. He furrowed his brow slightly and took a step to evade.


    Ling Muxue''s charge naturally missed its target, but the instant she missed, she suddenly twisted in mid-air.


    Because she didn’t change the direction of her attack, this sudden twist should have caused her to lose control and fall shoulder-first on the ground. However, she actually managed to do a full flip instead. A wind de shot out from her hand in an instant, flying straight towards Wang Yanfeng''s shoulder.
