<h4>Chapter 21: Telling The Truth. Well, Not Really.</h4>


    When he first gained the ability to use the Wind de, their power was quite limited.


    However, with the techniques of the Hidden Weapon Hundred Separation set, his years of insights, and the improvement in his spiritual power through the Purple Demon Eyes cultivation, he had already mastered the art of manipting them. And consuming the Wind Wolf bloodline of a third-order wolf further enhanced the power of his wind des.


    In his encounter with Wang Yanfeng, he had already exercised considerable restraint. Otherwise, he could havepressed the wind de further, unleashing an even more powerful attack. Wang Yanfeng would have found it much more difficult to defend against in that case.


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


    Without immediately inquiring further, Wang Yanfeng simply said, “Alright, today’s practicalbat lesson ends here. After you go back, make sure to reflect on the issues you encountered in today’s battle. We will have a practicalbat ss every three days from now on. I hope to see some improvement from all of you next time. This is crucial for your sess in the assessment when you face real Wind Wolves three years from now.”


    As everyone returned to their rooms, Wang Yanfeng stopped Tang San and led him upstairs. The second floor had two rooms, and Tang San had been upstairs before. These two rooms belonged to Wang Yanfeng and Qiu Jing, respectively. There was also a guest room that he had never entered. What surprised him this time was that Wang Yanfeng opened the door to the guest room and gestured for him toe in.


    "Come inside with me," Wang Yanfeng said.


    Tang San followed Wang Yanfeng’s instructions and entered the room, trailing behind him. As soon as he stepped inside, his eyebrows raised slightly in surprise.


    It was an empty-looking room, indeed, devoid of any furniture or decorations.


    However, as soon as he entered, Tang San could clearly sense that the concentration of wind element in this room was significantly higher than outside. While he couldn’t easily manipte his divine consciousness, the presence of that strand of divine consciousness had elerated his mental growth ratepared to an ordinary person, making his perception much more acute.


    Soon, Tang San discovered that the source of this rich wind element was actually a couple of interesting-looking rocks ced in the room’s four corners. It was these minerals that attracted the wind element.


    Closing the door, Wang Yanfeng’s expression became serious. “Tell me, how did youe to control the Wind de?” he asked.


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


    Wang Yanfeng maintained a stern expression, looking at Tang San. “You must exin this clearly, as it concerns your life. I need a reasonable exnation. Otherwise, you won’t be able to stay here any longer. What’s going on with you? I sensed something was amiss right when you awakened. Normally, when a human awakens the Wind Wolf bloodline, they first undergo a physical transformation that makes them resemble a Wind Wolf and experience a physical strengthening, and only then can they gradually gather the wind element energy within their bloodline, allowing this power to grow step by step and eventually gaining control over the Wind de innate ability.


    “But there has been no sign of the Wind Wolf transformation on you until now, yet you can use the Wind de, and it seems like its power is increasing rapidly. Today, you showed a level of control that I simply can’t believe is innate. The Wind de is said toe from the bloodline’s power, so where does your controle from? I find it hard to believe you were somehow just born with this ability and nobody taught you anything until now. So how did you gain your enlightenment? You need to exin that as well,” Wang Yanfeng pressed with a severe tone.


    Tang San fell silent, lowering his head slightly as if thinking how to exin everything Wang Yanfeng had asked. Wang Yanfeng waited patiently, in silence.


    After a while, Tang San finally spoke slowly. “Teacher, I was awakened a long time ago. It wasn’t during the ceremony.”


    “<i>Hmm</i>, I see. When was it?” Wang Yanfeng seemed to have anticipated this response.


    “At the age of six, I awakened by chance,” Tang San began. “That time, I was starving at night, so I went out looking for food. Unknowingly, I wandered to the edge of the vige into the woods. There, I encountered someone. He grabbed me suddenly, and I was terrified. I tried to scream, but he covered my mouth. Out of fear, I awakened the power within my bloodline.”


    Pausing momentarily, he continued, “That person seemed to sense my awakening. He told me not to scream and then let me go. He checked my body, and after that, he asked if I wanted to learn from him. I didn’t understand anything, not even what learning meant then. Then he exined some things to me and gave me some food. He told me toe to him every night; when I did, he always had food for me. I was always hungry, so I went every day. He kept his promise and started teaching me, and gradually, I learned about these things. He also taught me how to control the Wind de.”


    “What did he look like? Do you know his name?” Wang Yanfeng pressed for more details.


    Tang San, however, shook his head in bewilderment. “He never said that. He told me he would tell me when I grew up. But three months ago, he disappeared and he still hasn’t shown up since. And after that, it was the awakening ceremony.”


    “So, he taught you how to control the Wind de. But did he ever exin why you couldn’t undergo the Wind Wolf transformation?” Wang Yanfeng continued his line of questioning.


    Tang San exined, “He said that transformation wasn’t necessarily good because it would limit you to one kind of Demon God Transformation. He believed it was better to extract the essence and taught me a special cultivation method. After that, I couldn’t transform anymore. He told me that this technique was unique, not meant to be shared and that if someone learned it without awakening their bloodline, they would die.”


    “A technique? One that belongs solely to us humans?” Wang Yanfeng’s eyes lit up with interest.


    Tang San replied, “I don’t know. I only remember that thest time I saw him, before leaving, he told me that no matter what I encountered in the future, I should always work for the redemption of humanity. He said that one day, humans wouldn’t be ves anymore.”


    Upon hearing these words, Wang Yanfeng suddenly trembled all over. His face disyed a profound shock, and he clenched his fists tightly as if he had been deeply affected and couldn’t regain hisposure for a long time.


    “Redemption, redemption...” he muttered softly, lips pressed together. Tang San could feel the intense emotion in him at this moment.


    After a long while, Wang Yanfeng’s expression finally rxed. He took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and spoke solemnly, “Tang San, remember this: what I told you today, don’t mention it to anyone, including Muxue and the others. Keep it buried deep in your heart. If anyone asks you where you learned your wind de technique in the future, you can tell them you learned it from me. Understand?”


    Tang San looked at him and blinked again. “Teacher, do you want to learn? I can teach you. That person said anyone can learn as long as they are human.”


    Wang Yanfeng’s heart stirred. Today, he was genuinely amazed by Tang San’s control of the wind des on two asions. He believed his own control over the wind element was already incredibly refined, and further improvement seemed challenging. However, the soundless and intermittent wind des that Tang San had disyed today opened a new door for him.


    “Well...” He hesitated momentarily. <i>Can I learn something from my student?</i>


    “Teacher, I think you might not be able to win against me inbat,” Tang San suddenly said.


    “Hmm?” Wang Yanfeng was taken aback. He looked at Tang San and saw the earnestness mixed with childlike innocence in his eyes.


    “I can’t win?”


    Tang San nodded and said, “That person told me not to reveal mybat strength in front of others easily. I wanted to kill the wolf demons during the sacrificial ceremony that day. But I could sense that I probably couldn’t defeat the two strongest ones. However, I should be able to handle the ordinary wolf demons.”


    “What about me?” Wang Yanfeng asked.


    “Your energy level is higher than mine, but when ites to my Shadowless Wind de, I believe you wouldn’t be able to match it,” Tang San replied.
