Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

Realizing Tang San\'s hesitation, Wu Bingji said, "I can compensate you for the lesson in the same way as for a mission, would that be acceptable?"

Cheng Zicheng suddenly spoke up, "What do you need compensation for! We\'re all on the same side here. Xiao Tang, just agree to it."

Tang San glanced at her, thinking that she really did live up to what Du Bai said about her! The charm of the eldest senior brother was indeed extraordinary.

Before Tang San could speak, Wu Bingji replied seriously, "Chengzi, that\'s not how it should be. Our teacher has always taught us to exchange values equally. That\'s the principle within the academy, which is why there are mission sheets. If we want something, we must give something in return. Xiao Tang, you can name your price. If I can afford it, I will learn from you."

Tang San said, "Eldest senior brother, it\'s not that I\'m unwilling to teach you, but these things I\'ve figured out are suitable for wind element control, and might not suit the ice element. I need to ponder over it and see which techniques could also suit you."

Wu Bingji replied cheerfully, "Thank you for that. You\'re right, the characteristics of different elements can be vastly different. The ice element is actually one of the more stable elements, integrating both offense and defense, with the added characteristic of coldness. In fact, I\'ve been rather perplexed during my recent cultivation, unsure whether I should focus more on offense or defense. Our battle today has been quite enlightening for me. I couldn\'t anticipate that with your fifth stage cultivation, you could make the attack power of the wind element so formidable. It seems there really is no inherent weakness or strength among elements; it all depends on who is using them."

Tang San nodded, "Exactly, there\'s no absolute difference in strength between the elements. It\'s just that some have certain unique characteristics. Like today, Gu Li\'s Time Variation Seal, which can control time for a short period, is incredibly fascinating. To maximize the potential of the element under your control, the first requirement is to fully understand your own element, to maximize its advantages and minimize its disadvantages."

Wu Bingji agreed deeply, "That\'s exactly right. Xiao Tang, how much do you understand about the ice element?"

Tang San replied, "I wouldn\'t dare to say I understand a lot, but I\'ve always felt that although the ice element is restrained, it contains a latent power within its restraint. Ice is formed from the condensation of water. If water is the ultimate softness, then ice is just the opposite. The extreme hardness of the ice element means defense is certainly important, but I think if you could fully unleash its offensive potential, the effect might be even better. The best defense is a strong offense."

As he reached the last sentence, Wu Bingji\'s eyes lit up, "Yes, exactly, the best defense is a strong offense. Well said. I understand now, I seem to have grasped something. Xiao Tang, thank you. Your words have given me a sudden sense of clarity."

Guan Longjiang was his teacher, but even Guan Longjiang\'s guidance had not been as clear as what Tang San had said.

Seeing him understand his point, Tang San couldn\'t help but smile. As a First-Generation God King, offering guidance to these young people was an all too simple affair. Although he had lived in Demon Monster Land for nearly ten years and had gradually adapted to this identity, at his core, he was still an existence that had been through three lifetimes.

Cheng Zicheng looked back and forth between Tang San and Wu Bingji, somewhat confused about what exactly Wu Bingji had understood, but she had never seen him so excited. The eldest senior brother was always so composed! Yet as long as he was happy, Cheng Zicheng naturally became happy as well.

"Xiao Tang, you\'re really amazing! What about my Golden Peng Transformation, what do you think?" Cheng Zicheng asked Tang San.

Tang San replied, "The Roc soars up into the sky with a gust of wind, ascending ninety thousand miles in one flight. The Golden Peng should be the strongest existence among the Monsters in terms of flight, especially over long distances. Thus, you need to fully unleash your advantage in flight. One aspect is speed; the other is variability. Your flight lacks in both aspects. I suggest you fly more when you\'re free. Try low-altitude flying in the forest, and dodge the trees while speeding up as much as possible. This will naturally enhance your flight skills. Also, the speed of transformation when flying must be as quick as possible, because only in the air can your abilities be maximized to their greatest extent. If unable to fly, I fear you won\'t be able to exert even half of your strength. Never try to fight on the ground; that would be playing to your weaknesses against an opponent\'s strength, which is inadvisable."

Cheng Zicheng had asked casually but didn\'t expect Tang San to give quite a lot of sincere advice, even more than her teacher usually did. She was momentarily stunned.

```

Meanwhile, Wu Bingji, who was listening by the side, nodded repeatedly, "Makes sense. Attempting low-altitude flight in the forest? That\'s quite interesting! Chengzi, I really think you should give it a try. \'A Roc rises with the wind in a single day, soaring stratospherically for ninety thousand miles,\' beautifully put. Xiao Tang, you are truly talented."

Tang San smiled and said, "I was just speaking off the cuff. If Elder Sister thinks it might help, she can give it a try."

"Mm-hmm." Cheng Zicheng was a quick thinker, and with Wu Bingji\'s endorsement, she took Tang San\'s words to heart as well.

Wu Bingji asked, "Xiao Tang, what about your method of compressing the wind element? The wind element is extremely unstable, and compressing it is certainly not an easy task. How are you able to control such instability?"

Tang San replied, "That has to do with elemental arrangement. The instability of all elements is relative. If they\'re cleverly arranged according to their own characteristics, then naturally, they can blend to a certain degree. Once the blending is tight, it\'s essentially compression. Let me show you a simple experiment."

As he spoke, he lifted his right hand, and a shimmer of blue light, a small wind vortex, appeared in the palm of his hand.

The blue wind vortex rotated back and forth on his palm, fully demonstrating the free nature of the wind element.

Tang San then extended his other hand, and a wind vortex similarly emerged in the center of his palm, this one appearing to be roughly the same size as the first.

Then, he gradually brought his hands closer together, the winds raised by the two vortices clearly exhibiting some repulsion, each becoming somewhat unstable and shaking as they approached each other.

"Watch closely," Tang San reminded them. Then he separated his hands slightly, allowing the two vortices to pull apart. The blue light flickered, and it seemed as if some subtle changes were occurring within the vortices.

Gradually, even Cheng Zicheng began to notice the changes happening between them—the rotational frequency of the two vortices was starting to sync up.

As Tang San brought the two vortices closer together again, there was still a slight tremor, but the sense of repulsion was significantly weaker than before. And when the two vortices finally came together, they suddenly created a suction force, starting to merge inward and quickly becoming one.

The original two wind vortices had fused into a single entity, its color noticeably more solid than before, and the wind it generated was also somewhat stronger. It rotated steadily in the palm of Tang San\'s hand.

For Cheng Zicheng, this scene was quite extraordinary, and for Wu Bingji, who had been diligently studying element control, it was as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Rotating at the same frequency?"
