Chapter 147: Chapter 146: Going to be a Sparring Partner
"What\'s the matter, Xiao Tang? Why are you so flustered? Did you invent some new concealed weapon technique?" By the end, Wu Bingji\'s eyes clearly lit up. He was very interested in Tang San\'s concealed weapon techniques. They were of great help to his ice element control. He had recently become proficient in the throwing arrow.
Tang San said with a smile, "Concealed weapon techniques are easy to talk about, Senior Brother. Have you got any sparring missions lately, like the ones at Jiali Academy? I want to take one on. Preferably a long-term one."
"You want to take on a sparring mission?" Wu Bingji looked at him in surprise and said, "You\'re too young, that probably won\'t work, especially since you\'re so young with such a high cultivation base. Exposing this would also be troublesome! No, no, the teachers definitely won\'t agree."
Tang San hurriedly said, "When have you seen me take on anything I\'m not confident about, Senior Brother? I will be careful. I just need to take on the simplest sparring mission. As long as it\'s within Jiali Academy."
"No way, no way," Wu Bingji\'s head shook like a rattle-drum. Putting aside whether the teachers would agree or not, he himself did not agree! With the second and third batches of students returning from actual combat with less than impressive results, he increasingly realized how important Tang San was. Although he didn\'t know how the kid had learned so much, under Tang San\'s leadership, their team greatly benefited. Not to mention the recent earnings of a huge sum of Elemental Coins, it also improved everyone\'s strength considerably. Almost everyone was advancing. What a wonderful thing that was! He had plans to go on the second outing with Tang San.
Without any hesitation, Tang San said, "A brand new concealed weapon technique. I guarantee it\'s extremely powerful."
Wu Bingji\'s eyebrows twitched, "What kind of concealed weapon technique?"
After thinking for a bit, Tang San said, "I\'ll teach you a complicated one. But once you master it, it will be amazing. However, it will take you a long time to practice. If you can master this concealed weapon technique, it will be an instant kill against Demon Beasts below the Sixth Stage."
"What?" Wu Bingji stared at Tang San dumbfounded, "How is that possible? To instantly kill a Sixth Stage Demon Beast?"
Although he himself was at the Sixth Stage and had made quite some insights recently, which significantly improved his level, the physical strength of a Sixth Stage Demon Beast was incomparable to that of a human. Facing a Sixth Stage Demon Beast one-on-one, he would need to go through a tough battle to win, depending on the type. When Tang San said he could instantly kill a Sixth Stage Demon Beast, Wu Bingji\'s instinct was to disbelieve it. However, considering that almost all the boasts Tang San had made before had come true, he couldn\'t help but believe him.
"You better not be bluffing me!" said Wu Bingji in amazement.
Tang San replied, "How could I? Let\'s give it a try. I\'ll demonstrate it for you. My Demon God Transformation can\'t perform this technique, only your ice attribute can. But it requires a very delicate operation. I originally planned to teach this to Senior Brother, so you can make it shine in your hands. Once you master this concealed weapon, we can go out and train again. By then, even if we face that Winged Tiger from last time, we probably won\'t be at a disadvantage."
"Really? Then show me quickly." Wu Bingji, still only sixteen or seventeen, was naturally curious about this magical concealed weapon technique described by Tang San.
"Senior Brother, stand up, let\'s go outside. A quick test will do." To be able to accompany his future wife at Jiali Academy, Tang San was determined. He didn\'t care about exposing himself anymore.
Once it involved Pretty Girl, all his deep calculations would be thrown to the back of his mind.
The two went outside, and Wu Bingji asked curiously, "How do we test it?"
Tang San said, "You stand thirty meters away from me." He pointed towards the distance.
"That far?" Wu Bingji looked at him in surprise. Conventional wisdom was that concealed weapons had their greatest power at medium range; thirty meters were already quite far. Even his ice cones would weaken. At a closer range, Spiritual Power could influence them, but from too far, the Spiritual Power wouldn\'t keep up.
"Just trust me," Tang San said, pushing him toward the distance.
Soon, the two of them stopped thirty meters apart.
Tang San looked around to make sure there was no one else nearby. It was almost dinner time. He took a deep breath, and a blue light swirled in his eyes. In his right hand, a cluster of blue light slowly condensed into form.
The cyan blue light was not overly radiant, almost tangible, exuding an inherent cyan blue throughout. An invisible whirlwind enveloped it, with the strong wind element continually converging into it.
Wind Protective Energy! This was the realm of Wind Protective Energy. Following the absorption of the Winged Tiger\'s Bloodline Brand, Tang San\'s original Wind Wolf Wind Blade Mark had completely evolved into Wind Protective Energy. It was basically as if the Wind Protective Energy had devoured the wind blade. After all, in terms of hierarchy alone, the Winged Tiger was much stronger. But the wind wolf\'s bloodline aura was still present because wind wolves belonged to the Monsters, a higher level than demon beasts. The two complemented each other, making Tang San\'s Wind Protective Energy even more stable than that of the Winged Tiger.
Watching the blue light sphere become deeper in color, Wu Bingji was secretly amazed.
In his memory, even when Tang San used compressed wind blades, he never needed this much time to prepare. But at this moment, it had already been more than ten seconds.
"Senior Brother, use the ice shield and then the Ice element body. Triple-layer ice shield defense," Tang San said, as the blue light in his hand suddenly split into two, forming two cyan-blue light spheres.
"Alright!" Wu Bingji, fully aware of Tang San\'s prowess, did not dare to slack off. He quickly conjured up three ice shields in front of himself, and at the same time, he transformed into the strongest defensive state of the ice element body.
Tang San took a deep breath, his eyes shining brightly, and in the next instant, he threw out the two blue light spheres.
The two light spheres flew through the air, emitting a faint whooshing sound, heading straight for Wu Bingji.
Wu Bingji couldn\'t help but wonder, was Tang San planning to use the power of Wind Elemental Explosion? This method was not impossible, but it was well known that the wind element\'s cutting force was definitely more useful than its explosive force! The speed of the wind blade was also faster than that of the two light spheres flying towards him now. What was he doing?
As the two cyan light spheres approached, he braced himself for whatever was to come. Whatever the ability was, it would soon unveil itself before him.
"Bang! Bang!" The two cyan light spheres collided with his first ice shield.
The expected explosion did not occur, and the two cyan light spheres were deflected instead.
"Is that it?" Wu Bingji almost blurted out, as he felt hardly any impact.
But the next moment, he witnessed an odd scene—the two deflecting blue light spheres each traced an arc in the air, then collided with each other.
With a soft "puff" sound, the two blue light spheres shattered almost simultaneously. The next instant, thousands of blue streaks burst forth, almost instantly covering the entire space in front of Wu Bingji.
Wu Bingji instinctively ducked as he heard a series of "puff puff" sounds on his ice shields. There was not much force, but soon, he began to feel stings on his body.
He instinctively retreated, concentrating his ice element to his body protection, and when the series of "puff" sounds ceased, he took a closer look and couldn\'t help but gasp.
The three ice shields in front of him were now riddled with holes, but strangely, they had not collapsed. He also felt a series of stings, and his clothes had become riddled with holes.
