Martial God Storm

  "Are you okay?" Looking at Tang Yan walking in, Ailin's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she quickly averted her eyes. This bastard didn't know there was a woman inside? Not wearing a shirt was one thing, but his pants were also wet and clinging to him, vaguely outlining a certain bulge.

  "Huh? It's been three days, and you still haven't recovered?" Tang Yan looked at the weak Erynda in surprise, casually picking up the package beside her and rummaging through it.

  "I'm badly hurt, this ice crystal is somewhat sinister, it can suppress my absorption of the world's energy, so... Hey! What are you doing? That's my package, you... put it down!!"

  "Huh?" Tang Yan curiously pulled out a sky blue cloth strip, put it to his nose and sniffed, the faint fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, making him dizzy with intoxication.

  "Tang Yan!!" Erynda almost went crazy, if it weren't for her weak body and inability to move around, she would have totally messed Tang Yan up.

  "This is... oh, I get it! Elinda sensei has great taste, I like this color." Tanyu's casual remark almost made Elinda spit blood.

  "Don't you have any crystal stones or beast cores?" Tang Yan searched for half a day, but apart from women's clothes and dry rations, there was no energy crystal stone as he had imagined.

  "That's my package!" Elinda gritted her teeth and repeated, this little brat was too impolite, actually rummaging through other people's things so openly, and even had the nerve to look for crystal stones? Crystal cores?

  "Is the mentor of Giant Elephant Academy so poor?" Tang Yan muttered a couple of sentences, reaching out to grab the purple package beside him.

  "This is mine!" Tang Ying snatched it over and hugged it tightly in her arms, glaring at Tang Yan with a pout.

  "I'll just take a look."

  "Not allowed!"

  "Just take a look, really!"

  "I'd rather die than believe you."

  "Is... there a crystal core?"

  Tang Ying and Ailinda exchanged a knowing look, now somewhat certain that this guy was indeed Tang Yan. There weren't many people in the world as shameless as him.

  "Do you think the demon beast crystal core is something that can be easily obtained? Only fifth-level demon beasts have crystal cores, fifth-level demon beasts! Do you know what a fifth-level demon beast is? You silly bear!" Tang Ying ruthlessly struck at Tang Yan.

  "Crystal stones are energy stones, containing dense energy, some of which can be directly converted into spiritual power for absorption. They're all precious treasures that come with a hefty price tag. You think they're just ordinary cabbage?" Elinda couldn't help but scold Tang Yan.

  Crystal stone? Your own treasured darling!

  Although there are crystal stones in the Giant Elephant Academy, he only became an academy instructor two years ago and just broke through to the first rank of martial honor today, far from reaching the level where he can receive crystal stones.

  Tang Yan remained silent, thinking of a countermeasure. Staying here wasn't an option, he had to quickly gain the power to protect himself, but by himself? Impossible! Tang Yan hadn't become arrogant to that extent yet. To survive in this forest, he needed the assistance of a powerful force at the Wu Zong level, so...

  Tang Yan asked Ailinda: "If there is sufficient spiritual power provided, can you recover in a short period of time?"

  "If there is, of course, it can be done, but the problem now is that there isn't!"

  Tang Yan asked Tang Ying, "If I'm not mistaken, you reached the peak of a third-tier martial artist last year, but in order to stimulate your spiritual pulse at the biennial altar baptism, you deliberately suppressed the circulation of spiritual energy within your body and didn't let yourself break through."

  "What are you asking this for?" Tang Ying's face changed slightly, looking at Tang Yan with a hint of vigilance. Elinor was secretly surprised and quietly sized up the usually quiet and taciturn little girl.

  "Let's go, let's hunt." Tang Yan grabbed Tang Ying's soft and delicate hand and rushed out of the cave.

  "Hey! Let go, you're hurting me!"

  Deep in the forest, by a quiet stream, a small black buffalo is leisurely drinking water, occasionally swishing its ears to listen to the surroundings, appearing relaxed but extremely vigilant.

  "That's a young calf of the Earth Horned Bull, which can grow into a fourth-level demon beast when mature. Judging from its current state, it's only at level two. The Earth Horned Bull is capable of forming a gravitational field around itself, and the more powerful it is, the more terrifying the gravitational field becomes. Any demon beast that tries to sneak up on it will be disrupted once it enters the gravitational field, causing its movements to slow down." Tang Ying whispered to Tang Yan, hiding among the dense treetops.

  "Secondary, just right." Tang Yan cautiously observed his surroundings, making sure there was no danger before refocusing on the corner cow.

  "What do you want to do? Go hunting? This big head, we can't finish eating it." The front of the yaks were just calves, but their heads were as big as a goat's, and they could eat for three to five days without finishing.

  "That's right, it is. I'll give you a chance to take cover, and then you can kill it."

  "What? Me? You're a man, I'm a woman, why should I go?" Tang Ying rolled her eyes in annoyance, this guy really had no gentlemanly demeanor at all! But she even more didn't want to waste spiritual power for nothing, now the more she conserved, the more chances of survival she would have when an accident occurred.

  "I'm just second-rate, you're a third-rate peak, if you don't go, who will?"

  "Second place isn't bad either...... Hmm, that's right, you still haven't answered my question, when did you become a martial artist?"

  "He's eaten the elixir." Tang Yan said casually, urging: "Hurry up, don't let it escape."

  "Don't go! If you're hungry, go catch fish in the water to eat. I don't want to waste spiritual power here."

  "What? You little girl, dare to disobey your brother's words? Three days ago, I saved you, otherwise, who knows, you might have been sold to a brothel by now."

  "You... you're talking nonsense!"

  "Stop nagging, hurry up, I have use for you!" Tang Yan said seriously.

  "Really?"

  "A thousand truths and ten thousand certainties!"

  "What is it used for?"

  "You'll know later! My aunt, I didn't realize you were so nagging!"

  "Alright, I'll go. If anything unexpected happens, you have to help." Tang Ying hesitated for a moment, then drew out the red long knife she had been carrying with her and descended silently.

  "Remember, swift victory." Tang Yan whispered a reminder.

  "You don't need to bother." Tang Ying's eyes cleared, her face tightened, and her spiritual energy surged as she crept cautiously towards the lake like a hunting leopard.

  The water buffalo was drinking water leisurely, without noticing the approaching danger.

  Until...

  At a distance of about ten meters, Tang Ying let out a loud cry, and her slender body, which had been building up momentum for a long time, suddenly shot out.

  The ground shook and Newton's alertness was triggered, the surrounding gravitational field immediately intensified. In an instant, Tang Ying had a premonition that a massive force was pressing in from all sides, as if he had suddenly borne over 100 kilograms of weight on his back. If he hadn't made preparations beforehand, he might have already fallen to the ground.

  Moooo! The bull's eyes gleamed with ferocity, its front hooves fiercely pounding the ground, letting out a low, mournful bellow as it charged towards Tang Ying.

  The gravitational field affected Tang Ying, but it didn't exist for itself. In the midst of frantic sprinting, the ground rumbled and trembled, her head bowed low with force, the top of her head piercing the sky with a cold, harsh aura.

  The momentum of the wild is like an out-of-control train!

  "Inferno Double Strike!" Tang Ying's face was icy cold, resisting the heavy pressure, forcing herself to take a step forward and dash out. Along with a loud shout, dazzling flames filled her long sword.

  In the blink of an eye, a head-on collision.

  The fire knife chopped down in an instant, chopping twice in a row, swift as lightning, fast and astonishing, each swing of the knife added a layer of flames.

  In an instant, two blades shot out simultaneously, power surging violently!

  Clang! A fierce flame swept across, and the bull was struck by lightning, letting out a miserable cry as it was violently knocked flying. A crimson wound was cut open on its forehead.

  It's really hard to imagine that Tang Ying's small body actually contains such a terrible impact force.

  "It's now!!" The long-hidden Tang Yan shot into the sky, quickly flipping and turning in mid-air, and the iron fist grasped towards the head of the Earth Ox crashed down.

  In mid-air, he suddenly broke into the gravity field, and a strong force immediately enveloped his whole body. But Tang Yan was descending from the sky, just cleverly borrowing the gravity, so that the momentum doubled in an instant, and at the same time, the blue flame filled the entire right fist!

  The horned cow hadn't struggled up yet when it suddenly suffered a blow from Tang Yan's explosive fist.

  BOOM!! The corner cow didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry, its big head smashed to the ground with a loud crash, and the blue flames that had been stuck to its forehead began to engulf and burn it, quickly spreading to both sides.

  "Get out of the way!!" Tang Ying shouted, dashing forward with a long knife that danced with flames, slicing through the air with a sharp "ting" sound, forcefully tearing open the thick skin and flesh of the earth-ox, splitting its throat wide open, and a torrent of blood gushed out.

  This girl is ruthless! Tang Yan was secretly astonished, but his fists didn't stop, and he wildly pounded the corner of the bull's body with all his might, each time making a crisp cracking sound of bones splitting, each time leaving behind a faint blue flame on its body.

  The dying earth ox struggled desperately, letting out a despairing bellow, but Tang Ying's knife cut off its throat, and Tang Yan's flames burned its body, soon ending its life.

  Two to one, complete victory!

  "What is this flame?" Looking at the thin blue flame on Di Jiao Niu's body, Tang Ying was shocked and puzzled. This flame had no temperature at all, but instead emitted a faint chill, most importantly... The blue flame, although very thin, was extremely active, as if it had life, spreading throughout his body, without missing any corners.

  The descendants of the Tang family are all fire attributes, but they are basically warm and red, and no one has ever had a green flame, let alone such a strange one.

  Tang Yan swung his fist and arm in pain, gritted his teeth and took a deep breath: "How about we make a deal?"

  "What's going on?" Tang Ying was very curious about the cyan flame, trying to get closer, but was pulled back by Tang Yan.

  "Whatever I see today will be kept secret forever."

  "Why?"

  "No reason, just consider it an agreement between you and me."

  Looking at Tang Yan's solemn and serious expression, Tang Ying was slightly silent for a moment before suddenly breaking into a smile, tilting her small head cutely and asking: "What's in it for me?"

  This is the first time in over a decade that Tang Ying smiled at Tang Yan.

  Sweet and pure, lovely and lively, overflowing with youth and joy.

  Tang Yan's eyes glazed over slightly, and in a daze, a faintly unusual warmth spread across his forehead.

  Tang Ying's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she stomped her foot: "Hey! What are you staring at with those lecherous eyes? You little pervert, I'm your sister!"

  Tang Yan smiled and reached out to gently scratch Tang Ying's small nose: "As long as you keep your promise, I'll protect you for a lifetime."

  "Don't touch other people's noses." Tang Ying said discontentedly, wrinkling up her small nose.

  Looking at the corpse getting smaller on the ground, Tang Yan asked: "What was the martial skill you just used?"

  Tang Ying raised her beautiful eyebrows, looking very surprised: "You don't know?"

  "What must I know?"
