Chapter 25 One Year of Changes

When Tang San practiced according to the Mysterious Heaven Method, the wind element forcibly drawn into his body would naturally be influenced by the Mysterious Heaven Method and be transformed into Origin Energy, facilitating the cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Method without any issues.

However, this was not what Tang San wanted. He sought to become more formidable, not solely through the power granted by the Mysterious Heaven Method.

If direct communication was impossible, then why could the Wind Wolf Tribe manage it?

Right then, he used the Mysterious Heaven Method to channel the Wind Blade Mark within him, allowing a part of his Mysterious Heaven Method energy to transform into wind blade energy.

Within this Mark, Tang San immediately sensed something different.

As he underwent the transformation, the surrounding wind element began to change distinctly. In Tang San's body, the Wind Blade Mark acted like a node which attracted the wind element, causing it to swirl around his body.

Tang San tried to use this node to draw the wind elements into his body, only to find that there seemed to be some kind of barrier inside him that prevented full absorption. However, he could still manage to manipulate some of the wind element in the air.

As he condensed a wind blade, he found that its ability to draw in the surrounding wind element became more noticeable, which also slightly increased the wind blade's power.

Interesting!

Tang San had a vague understanding of something.

In Demon Monster Land, or rather in the Falan World, the existence of various elements couldn't be directly cultivated or drawn upon. Instead, they seemed to operate under a special set of rules where they could only be attracted by those whose bloodline power contained equivalent elemental properties.

In other words, the Wolf Monster of the Wind Wolf Tribe could absorb the wind element from the air to strengthen their bloodline, and even humans who had undergone Wind Wolf Transformation and had Wind Wolf Tribe bloodline as their vassals could also do so.

The reason Tang San could not absorb it was that he possessed a pure human bloodline without any trace of the Wind Wolf Tribe's bloodline.

The Mysterious Heaven Method could convert these bloodline powers, but could not directly absorb from the air; however, it could enhance his wind blade by absorbing the transformed Wind Wolf Bloodline Energy from the body of the Wind Wolf Tribe.

The bloodline seemed to act as a filter, filtering the forces of nature.

The reason humans were so weak in this world was largely related to this aspect; ordinary humans simply could not cultivate. In this world, there are no laws suitable for human cultivation. Such creatures were naturally relegated to being slaves. The only reason their kind had not been completely exterminated was due to humans' strong reproductive capabilities.

Understanding these points deepened his knowledge of this world.

Therefore, cultivating within the Wind Elemental Array's main benefit for him was to accelerate his Mysterious Heaven Method progression, with no effect on his wind element abilities.

Of course, Tang San wasn't worried about this. In this town, there were so many Wind Wolves. Now that his Mysterious Heaven Method had reached the Fourth Rank, his overall strength had significantly increased. It would naturally be easier to obtain the power of the bloodline from some Wind Wolves.

For his subsequent cultivation, Tang San confirmed his path.

Each night, he would cultivate in the Wind Elemental Array on the second floor, and as night fell on the next day, he would quietly leave the wooden house to hunt down solitary members of the Wind Wolf Tribe.

He did not choose the rarer but more powerful Fourth Stage Wind Wolves as his target. He aimed for the Third Stage Wind Wolves.

Moreover, each Third Stage Wind Wolf, he would only quietly absorb one third of the bloodline power. Having one third absorbed, they could completely recover in at most two to three days. They would feel only slightly weak. The vast majority of the Wind Wolves wouldn't even notice.

And because he absorbed less, Tang San could digest and assimilate it faster. Basically, in two days, he could completely merge with it. This was of great help to his cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Method and the training of the wind blade.

The days passed by quietly like this.

Wang's Three Brothers and Ling Muxue all had pretty good talents. Under Wang Yanfeng's careful teaching, they all made rapid progress. A year passed, and the four of them had reached the Second Stage of Wind Wolf cultivation. Judging from the way their bloodlines were being activated and stimulated, by the time three years had passed, possessing the strength of a Third Stage Wind Wolf was undoubtedly within reach.

Once they were all able to cast wind blades, Wang Yanfeng also began to teach them some of the concealed weapon techniques that Tang San had taught him.

Just as Tang San had predicted, due to the suppression of this plane and the naturally slower pace of high-level Mysterious Heaven Method cultivation, in one year, he hadn't been able to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Method to the Fourth Rank peak. However, he had made substantial overall progress, and he had already started to pick up some things from his previous life that could be cultivated.

With the protection of Wang Yanfeng, the five people who could eat their fill and dress warmly every day also underwent obvious changes.

Firstly, in their physique. When they first arrived, they were all skinny and malnourished. After a year of cultivation and conditioning, they began to look much healthier.

Wang Chao had grown up and became strong. He was now over one meter eighty, which was already considered very tall among humans.

Wang Zhong still looked thin, but he seemed to have a toughness about him. His small eyes were always squinted, with a hint of cold light shining through. He was the one who spoke the least, but he was the most hardworking in cultivation.

Wang Xiaolei was the liveliest among Wang's Three Brothers. However, it was clear he had some other thoughts, as he would circle around Ling Muxue whenever he had the chance, to Ling Muxue's annoyance. Although Wang Xiaolei was a bit younger, his height was not low either, standing at over one meter seventy, he was slightly taller than Wang Zhong. When he reached adulthood, he would probably be taller than Wang Chao.

In that year, the one who changed the most was Ling Muxue. Cultivation and nutrition transformed the girl who originally just seemed delicate into someone lively and attractive. At eleven, she was already starting to develop, and her height had reached over one meter fifty.

Among the four, Tang San's changes were actually the smallest. He still looked somewhat thin, and there wasn't much difference in his height, making him the least noticeable of the group.

"Tang San, come here for a moment." As the morning cultural lessons ended, Wang Yanfeng called Tang San upstairs once again. The other four were already used to this.

Following Wang Yanfeng upstairs, he led Tang San into his room and then pointed to the wall.

As Tang San's gaze fell on the object hanging on the wall, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It was a map, a somewhat crudely made map.

Wang Yanfeng said, "This is what you've been wanting. I got it for you. It wasn't easy. By the way, there's an opportunity coming up. The lord has asked me to make a trip to Jiali City, and I can bring a servant. You'll come with me."

"Going into the city?" Tang San's eyes suddenly lit up, the calm look in his eyes almost instantly turned to excitement.

In the past year, he had learned the writing of the Demon Monster Land from Wang Yanfeng and listened to Wang Yanfeng's stories about the legends of the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan, as well as different races. For him, learning during the cultural lessons was far more important than the cultivation learning in the afternoon.

But, since arriving in this world, a full nine years had passed, and he had never left Wind Wolf Town.
