Chapter 99: Chapter 98 New Challenge
It had to be said, Wu Bingji had an extremely high level of comprehension, and his foundation was solid. He managed to noticeably enhance his ice element control in just two days. Coupled with the difference in their strength, it was no easy task for Tang San to defeat him.
After all, Wu Bingji had an Ice Elemental Body, while Tang San did not possess a Wind Elemental Body.
Due to the uniqueness of the Mysterious Heaven Method, no matter how far he cultivated, he would never have abilities like an Elemental Body. While an Elemental Body significantly enhances element control, Tang San\'s future direction was not about element control! He couldn\'t abandon his other abilities to maximize just this single one.
The Ice Wind Tornado gradually dissipated, revealing Wu Bingji once again to the crowd, with a pale face and his chest heaving dramatically.
He looked at Tang San in disbelief, "You actually used my power against me?"
What shocked him most was that, within the high-speed rotating tornado, he couldn\'t control the ice elements caught up in the wind, turning them into weapons against himself.
This was truly terrifying. Tang San\'s control was even stronger than he had imagined. Now he was completely certain that Tang San had shown mercy during their battle the day before yesterday. If Tang San had employed this method of attack then, he would have had no chance of defending himself.
Tang San smiled and said, "Let\'s call it a draw for today. Elder brother, are you going to give back those five Monster Coins?"
"Give them to you," Wu Bingji had no discouragement from almost losing to Tang San today. Instead, his eyes shone brightly as he immediately tossed five ice attribute Monster Coins to Tang San.
"I\'ll come to you tonight, haha! Can\'t take the money for nothing." Wu Bingji said, full of enthusiasm.
"Mm, okay." Tang San accepted the Monster Coins and nodded.
He had no objection to mentoring Wu Bingji, who had a good temperament and was very persistent and insightful when it came to cultivation.
As a human for his third lifetime, Tang San was never stingy in providing guidance to such individuals. Moreover, in the Demon Monster Land, humans were simply too weak. Helping them become stronger was a wonderful thing indeed.
It wasn\'t until this moment that the other students began to react. They looked at Tang San and then at Wu Bingji, their faces filled with disbelief.
Tang San had lost just the day before yesterday, even though he had shown great strength, but he still lost! How could it be that in just two days, the fight ended in a draw? And their vision wasn\'t poor, today\'s elder brother Wu Bingji was clearly stronger than before. Yet, it was still only a draw.
"Aren\'t you ashamed? Do you see, this is what real combat is about. Instant bursts, borrowing the opponent\'s power, unleashing the limits of one\'s own abilities. This is practically a textbook battle. This fight, it was too fantastic." Mu Enqing began to applaud.
Two practical combat classes, and Tang San had brought him two surprises, both massive. How to comment on this battle? He didn\'t know because he couldn\'t find flaws, nor did he know how he could give any advice.
Wu Bingji\'s improvement was very obvious, especially the explosion that shattered the ice, integrating offense and defense. And his compression of the ice element, these were all previously absent.
Such progress in just two days obviously had something to do with the battle the day before yesterday, and from what he said, it seemed to result from consulting with Tang San. This was even more remarkable!
This Tang San truly was…
```
The phrase "look at with new eyes" no longer sufficed. It was simply freakish, a veritable rarity. Can a nine-year-old child really achieve this? He found it somewhat hard to believe.
"Teacher, I want to challenge Tang San too," Gu Li suddenly said at that moment.
Time Crocodile, Time Variation Seal. Level 2 Bloodline. Among all the students, Tang San valued his bloodline power the most.
Gu Li\'s eyes burned with a fervent gaze as he looked at Tang San. Control, this was control!
Is time an element? Time cannot be described by an element. Yet, in some ways, it\'s not too different, except much more miraculous.
Gu Li had always known his Time Variation Seal was strong, and his understanding of Time Control made him a key focus for the teachers\' training from the moment he arrived.
But precisely because of the strength of Time Variation Seal, as a human with less of the Time Crocodile\'s potent bloodline, cultivating time control became extremely difficult.
He had arrived just one year later than Wu Bingji, and was only a year younger. But while Wu Bingji had already reached the Sixth Stage, he was still at the Fourth Stage, with his progress exceedingly slow.
The idea of enhancing his own bloodline by soaking in the blood of Monsters with the same attribute was almost impossible. Not to mention the scarcity of the Time Crocodile Clan, but each Time Crocodile was an exceedingly powerful being. With the power of the Redemption Organization, it was utterly impossible for them to procure the blood of a Time Crocodile for him.
And today, when he saw Wu Bingji\'s apparent enhancement in ice element control during the battle with Tang San, his thoughts started to stir. If he fought with Tang San, could he too grasp the control of elements?
Moreover, he was confident that he wouldn\'t be at a disadvantage in battle against Tang San. The reason was simple: his Time Control nearly completely overpowered any element controller.
Imagine this, you Tang San are compressing the wind element and I make you pause for a moment, what will happen? The best-case scenario is wind element chaos, and if things go bad, it could explode! Wind Blade Shot, under control, if I make time pause for a moment, can you continue to control it? Can your Spiritual Power still connect? That\'s also impossible.
So, although Tang San ended up in a draw with Wu Bingji, Gu Li still had confidence in himself. He felt that among everyone, he was the one who could restrain Tang San the most.
Tang San looked at him, and Gu Li\'s eyes were filled with longing.
"You can rest for a while; I\'ll wait for you," Gu Li said to him.
Mu Enqing said, "Tang San, are you willing to accept Gu Li\'s challenge?"
Tang San responded, "Okay, no problem." His heart flared with eagerness. He had coveted Gu Li\'s Time Variation Seal for several days. If it was being offered to him on a silver platter, he would not hold back! Even if there was no spot for a Mark to fuse right now, he could always do without the Heavy Armor Technique. Compared to Time Variation Seal, Heavy Armor Technique was not even in the same league, it was... a little brother!
He sat down cross-legged on the spot and silently meditated, recovering the Spiritual Power he had just expended.
Wu Bingji originally planned to continue contemplating his shortcomings in battle and his ice element control after scheduling a match with Tang San, but when he heard Gu Li challenge Tang San, he immediately understood what Gu Li intended.
He had sparred with Gu Li before. Back when they were at the same stage, he had really struggled against Gu Li. But once he obtained the Ice Elemental Body, Gu Li never had a chance again. Because Gu Li\'s attacks couldn\'t penetrate his Ice Elemental Body, and although Gu Li\'s Time Control could disrupt his ice element attacks and make them uncontrollable, the cold nature of the ice element remained. If the battle dragged on and Gu Li\'s Time Control waned a bit, he would ultimately be frozen by Wu Bingji.
What about Tang San, though? The wind element is much more active and harder to control than the ice element. The better Tang San could control it, the bigger the trouble if it was disrupted. Gu Li\'s abilities indeed countered his, that was indisputable. So, how would Tang San face Gu Li? How would he control his wind element?
