"Yes, a true genius!" Han Xiaohu nodded, then said excitedly, "Boss, are you a wood-element cultivator too?"
"Heh heh..." Wei Zhao smiled faintly and gave no answer. As for what element he cultivated, Wei Zhao himself was not clear on that either, for the first two layers of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art had never once mentioned what element the heart method belonged to from beginning to end. Still, Jiao Yazi had said it was an all-purpose heart method—could it be that he was of the all-purpose element?
"Boss, then this Forest of Ten Thousand Transformations—can I cultivate and unleash it?" Han Xiaohu asked, a little hopeful.
"It shouldn't be a problem," Wei Zhao said. "Let me study it a while longer."
"Good! Boss, you study it!" Han Xiaohu said.
Wei Zhao nodded and began to recall in his mind the heart-method mnemonics of the second stance, the third stance, and even the fourth, simulating and deducing in his head the moves of the martial technique and the way to unleash them...
Once he had them fairly well mastered and clear in his mind, Wei Zhao made another attempt!
The second stance of the Forest of Ten Thousand Transformations! Wei Zhao threw a punch, yet that fist seemed to become two as it drove forward. This time Wei Zhao's target was another enclosing wall.
Boom! Boom! This time, two great crashes rang out from the wall, and once more a wall came crashing down! And this time the power of the fist was far greater than before. What astonished Wei Zhao even more was that this second stance was not at all as Han Tianba had described—one fist real and one fist false, meant to deceive. No, both fists were real!
Those two great crashes were the proof, and moreover, the stretch of wall that collapsed was clearly much wider than before. That is to say, both fists had landed solidly—and yet Wei Zhao had, truly and unmistakably, thrown only one punch!
At the thought, Wei Zhao began excitedly pondering the third stance, while Han Xiaohu stood frozen like a statue, staring at the collapsed wall not far from Wei Zhao! It was not that he begrudged the wall—if it were himself, he would sooner tear down the whole courtyard, so long as he could throw those two punches of Wei Zhao's!
And each time, the destructive force was greater than the last!
The great crashes in the courtyard had in fact long since drawn the attention of the others within the Hidden Han Family. But these people all knew this was Wei Zhao's dwelling, and none dared come forward to ask questions or investigate; they only hurried to inform the old master Han.
Given Han Tianba's standing, he could indulge his curiosity and come see just what had happened. But by the time he reached the vicinity of the courtyard, Wei Zhao happened to be unleashing the fourth stance of the Forest of Ten Thousand Transformations!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Four great crashes—only this time Wei Zhao had no target, and all four fists struck the air. Even so, four resounding crashes tore through the void!
As for the fifth stance, Wei Zhao did not attempt to practice or unleash it. He had not even managed to unleash the fifth stance of the Frenzied Fire Fist; studying the fifth stance of the Forest of Ten Thousand Transformations had little chance of success. Besides, Wei Zhao's main purpose was to study it himself first, so that he could then pass it on to Han Xiaohu.
Han Tianba stared in utter horror at Wei Zhao not far off, the shock in his heart beyond measure. What martial technique was this? With Han Tianba's eye, he could naturally tell this was not the Woodchopping Art—and if not that, then it must be the Forest of Ten Thousand Transformations?
But could Wei Zhao have learned the Forest of Ten Thousand Transformations in such a short time? And this was a wood-element martial technique—was Wei Zhao a wood-element cultivator?
With a belly full of questions, Han Tianba nonetheless did not dare disturb Wei Zhao, for he saw Wei Zhao's body stir once more!
