Chapter 5: Maple Boy, the freak! (1/3)

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The sound of unhurried tapping rang out.

Tang Hao’s line of sight.

The little boy, who was only half his own height, picked up the huge hammer that was almost as tall as his body.

One blow, after another, struck the piece of raw iron!

The speed was not fast.

But steady!

At the back, so steady that the force of each blow did not change in the slightest!

It was terrifying!

You know, it is very difficult to control the power of each hammer when using a giant hammer to temper the original iron!

Tang Hao was originally an existence that was once a sealed Douluo, and now he was nestled in the Holy Soul Village, beating iron for several years, so he naturally knew the difficulties involved.

“Ten…twenty…thirty…fifty…”

Tang Hao stood in the dark, counting every hammer Wang Feng struck.

Fifty hammers!

It was hard to imagine, this Maple boy who was usually incredibly lazy and smart, he liked to come and scurry around for dinner when he had nothing to do, and was kicked out by himself.

The youngster he had grown up with!

Surprisingly, he possessed a natural divine power that was comparable to Little Three’s!

This really made Tang Hao feel incomparably surprised!

Moreover, I’m afraid that this kid was so gifted that he was even more powerful than Little San!

Although Little San was equally intelligent, it was hard to control the force of each hammer as exquisitely as this Feng boy! The difference is huge!

The further back you go, the more so!

“If we say that for the first ten hammers, when Kid Feng swung the huge hammer, there were still some problems with the force, resulting in uneven power. But from the eleventh hammer onwards… the power of each of his hammers has been controlled incomparably just right and skilfully.”

The more Tang Hao watched, the more astonished he was.

This meant that this kid possessed unparalleled comprehension, and control of every muscle in his body!

Only then could he comprehend the technique of striking iron so quickly!

And without any guidance!

“Although Junior’s comprehension is good and his control of his body is good, I didn’t give him any instructions. But it was only after a day of hammering that he could barely begin to learn to control every inch of his body’s force. But even then, Junior’s fire was far from enough. It will take at least ten days or so… before we can see the first results.”

Tang Hao’s gaze flickered.

The line of sight, landed on the Feng kid’s body.

Tang Hao seemed to see Wang Feng’s heart, as if it had endless power, and blood spurted out, like the source of power.

The feet were like sticking to the earth, and the power gushing out from his heart seemed to turn into a coloured energy body, emanating from the ground, growing from his calves, then passing to his thighs, flowing through his waist as an axis, backbone, arms, and finally converging on the palm holding the giant hammer.

Clang!

A perfect blow, struck against the original iron!

A pleasing, yet perfect sound!

“I haven’t taught Junior these techniques yet, because it’s a bit early for Junior who can only swing a hammer, and as for the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, it’s even earlier! It needs some more days.”

Tang Hao muttered, “But I didn’t expect it. These techniques, this Feng kid, actually comprehended these techniques on his own? He is really genius.”

Tang Hao thought, “I’m afraid this can’t be described as genius.

If someone taught it and learned it quickly, that was clever.

If someone taught it and learned it as soon as they could, this was genius.

But if no one taught it and comprehended it on his own… this?

The genius of geniuses?

“Just by swinging ten hammers, you can immediately understand the skills I have summarized over the years…”

Tang Hao looked at the tiny figure, still tirelessly wielding the huge hammer.

He suddenly felt a special feeling that had been missing for a long time.

Back then, he was also a genius…

But now…

Tang Hao felt a long-lost feeling of falling short, although it was so small and minor that he didn’t care about it and soon let it go.

But it made him, who had been ancient and decadent all these years, feel a little more special.

Of course, Tang Hao did not know.

Wang Feng was able to comprehend these techniques so quickly… because he possessed a knowledge base from his previous life.

In other words, these techniques, when placed on Earth, were something that was public knowledge, not to mention the fact that he had read the Douluo Continent.

As a travellers, apart from the golden fingers given by the system, Wang Feng naturally had to bring into play the advantages of a travellers.

Otherwise, what kind of travellers would they be? Wang Feng did not want to disgrace his fellow travellers’ predecessors.

Far-sightedness, strong acceptance, unique insight, certain knowledge reserves, etc. are all advantages of travellers.
