Tang San strode briskly out of Holy Soul Village.
Tang San saw Brother Feng. Brother Feng really was impossible to read... One moment, he was serious; the next, he was joking around.
That punch had carried at least four hundred pounds of force... The arduous training behind it would have worn down anyone's will, day after day, moment by moment.
As it happened, Xiao San, with the Mysterious Heaven Skill running, was the perfect opponent.
At some point...
Wang Feng shifted to the side. A glint flashed in his eyes as he stood his ground, raised his right fist, and met Tang San's punch head-on.
I only used half my strength...
Wang Feng sighed. "Twenty days is such a long time."
Wang Feng knew, of course, that Xiao San hadn't made any Hidden Weapons yet. That meant he could only use pebbles as projectiles...
But just as Tang San's fist was about to hit Wang Feng's cheek, Wang Feng's head moved back an inch, as if time had slowed to a crawl.
With the scene unfolding like this, Tang San felt an indescribable heaviness weigh on him. For a moment, he couldn't say a word.
In Wang Feng's eyes, all of Tang San's attacks seemed to move at least three or four times slower!
Wang Feng had read most of Douluo Continent. He'd forgotten quite a bit by now, but he'd paid close attention to the early parts.
From a distance, one would have seen a little boy attacking another smiling little boy with disciplined, orderly punches and kicks.
Tang San was stunned all over again.
He drew a deep breath, circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill within him, and charged at Wang Feng once more.
Pebbles shot toward Wang Feng one after another, precise as marbles!
Wang Feng: "..."
"Could I have been mistaken? That day, when Brother Feng climbed the mountain... He didn't show any great strength, but his physical abilities shouldn't be enough for this!"
At that, Tang San paused and said nothing. He could only think that Brother Feng was incredibly perceptive.
Wang Feng could tell that he was still fast enough to dodge Tang San's attacks.
Tang San suddenly said solemnly, "Brother Feng, I didn't expect you to be this strong. But now I'm going to get serious. I won't give up easily!"
The sound of attacks cutting through the air came from all directions!
He can see through all my attacks! There's only one explanation: he's much faster than me!
They were still in that same little grove.
Tang San had been born with Innate Full Soul Power because he had cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill to the first level, generating inner energy within him that later transformed into Soul Power!
This was just a place where he occasionally practiced his various Hidden Weapon techniques so he wouldn't get rusty.
In an instant, Wang Feng was in grave danger...
And that was exactly what happened.
But Tang San didn't know that those twenty days had felt like years to Wang Feng!
Wang Feng complained inwardly. Looks like not everyone can be Yan Shuangying... The road to mastering this act is long. I'll keep searching high and low.
Brother Feng's clothes were brand-new, unlike his own, which had faded from washing.
Instead, Tang San moved rapidly around Wang Feng!
They might only be children fighting, but Tang San had always taken everything he did extremely seriously.
What Tang San didn't know, however, was...
A breeze began to stir.
Seeing this, Wang Feng smiled. "Mm. Exactly twenty days."
Tang San nodded.
Tang San's mouth twitched. He had to admit, Brother Feng's back did look a little like that of a formidable master.
Their fists collided with a muffled boom!
Wang Feng knew it was probably due to the rules of Douluo Continent. He would likely need a Spirit Ring before he could gain more energy.
"Xiao San, why are you feeling around your chest? Don't tell me you're going to throw pebbles at me?"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
But Tang San didn't attack.
Wang Feng merely smiled, shifted several inches to the side, and narrowly avoided the elbow strike.
Tang San's punch missed again. He stepped back and stared at Brother Feng.
Just like Tang San, whose Mysterious Heaven Skill had never broken through the first level.
Wang Feng stood in the distance, hands clasped behind his back, facing away from Tang San as he gazed at the sky.
The branches rustled...
The instant he finished speaking, Tang San moved!
Then Wang Feng abruptly turned around and stared at Tang San. After a long pause, he slowly said, "Almost a month has gone by."
This time, Tang San was at least twice as fast as before!
That meant Brother Feng's punch had to be much stronger than his own!
That was simply Tang San thinking things through.
The wind stirred, and Tang San stepped forward. "I'm here."
Tang San nodded.
Tang San: "..."
Wang Feng suddenly burst into laughter, instantly shattering the heavy mood.
He was just too small... As Wang Feng thought that, he still didn't use it this time.
But he should definitely have Innate Full Soul Power. When I pushed past my limits for the fourth time, the Meteor Tear spilled out a lot of energy, but its quantity didn't increase. Its quality just got higher.
Every time his body went beyond its limits, the Meteor Tear released a surge of energy that flowed through him, then settled a few inches below his abdomen.
"Come on!"
But Innate Full Soul Power didn't depend only on physical ability.
The sheer bravado of those words left Wang Feng slightly dazed.
The line had come from a conversation between Fu Hongxue and Yan Nanfei in a Gu Long novel.
Wang Feng calculated that his physical abilities were far superior to Tang San's.
Yet, inexplicably, Tang San sensed a rare bitterness in Brother Feng's tone!
Fortunately, Wang Feng knew about the Meteor Tear. Otherwise, he would have died from all that reckless training long ago.
"You're here."
A calm voice came from Brother Feng.
Wang Feng's speed stirred Tang San's fighting spirit.
Tang San was shocked. He hadn't expected Brother Feng not to dodge this time!
Boom!
He was utterly astonished!
Looks like I'll have to use the Mysterious Heaven Skill to boost my speed and strength. I'll finish the fight in three punches!
Tang San couldn't stop himself from stumbling back more than a dozen steps before steadying himself.
"Looks like I misjudged," Tang San said solemnly. "I've got a whole handful of pebbles on me!"
Could Xiao San be about to use a Hidden Weapon?
At his speed, he could knock down anyone his age in a single move. They wouldn't even have time to react.
Tang San was even more puzzled. "Twenty days went by so quickly..."
As soon as he said that, he...
Even at full speed, Tang San's attacks never stopped. The relentless barrage would have knocked down even two grown men, leaving them no chance to fight back.
"What if you don't use your Hidden Weapons later... Just stick to basic punches and kicks. You can leave the Mysterious Heaven Skill out too... Judging by how Brother Feng climbed the mountain that day, his physical abilities are a little worse than mine... If I use the Mysterious Heaven Skill, along with the improvement I've gained from swinging a giant hammer at the forge these past few days, he won't be able to take a punch."
Wang Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. Could this be the Mysterious Heaven Skill?
His punch was stronger than an adult's, carrying around two hundred pounds of force. With the Mysterious Heaven Skill running, his strength had increased considerably.
Still, it wasn't really a Hidden Weapon, so it had limited power.
It was enough to hurt a child, though. If he controlled it carefully, even a pebble could raise a big bump.
"I specialize in the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons. I haven't made any yet, but even ordinary pebbles can be very powerful in my hands."
One punch missed, but Tang San didn't stop. Using the momentum, he followed up with an elbow aimed at Wang Feng's shoulder.
Tang San was a genius of the Tang Sect. Hidden Weapons were what he excelled at most!
Tang San's eyes widened in shock.
"Even stronger than me with the Mysterious Heaven Skill running... That's incredible! Brother Feng has been hiding his strength so well?"
I don't use this strange energy in my body normally.
But now that he had a clear sense of his own speed, Wang Feng wanted to test his strength.
Two fists collided!
Brother Feng hadn't been hit by a single one of his attacks!
Since he'd promised not to make Brother Feng feel "lonely," Tang San would keep his word. He'd even think through how to do it.
It wasn't that he looked down on Brother Feng.
After all, twenty days was the blink of an eye to him.
And yet, somehow, Tang San had avoided that punch by an inch!
Wang Feng's tone suddenly changed!
"Was it a coincidence?"
Ten minutes later...
But this time, Wang Feng didn't dodge.
If the first two attacks had been a coincidence...
Tang San touched the pebbles in his clothes and sleeves.
Tang San charged at him at breakneck speed!
Even an adult would have trouble dealing with that.
Before long, Tang San reached an open patch in the woods.
And the key to Innate Full Soul Power wasn't just physical ability.
It was this energy within his body!
"I bet you don't have any pebbles on you! Give up, Xiao San!"
Wang Feng smiled calmly as he spoke.
But this smiling little boy remained completely unharmed. The one attacking him hadn't even managed to brush against his clothes!
"I knew you'd come," Wang Feng continued calmly.
"I said I'd come. Didn't we agree on it?" Tang San asked, puzzled.
"Ha... Xiao San, you've never read a Gu Long novel, but you played along pretty well..." Wang Feng laughed.
Before you continue
