You are right. In Chapter 1326, it was indeed mentioned by Charcoal that Wang Tong is the creator of the Point Blade Technique.

However, I feel that there is reason to doubt that.

For one, Wang Tong never saw fit to try to modify his Tactics in Tempest of the Battlefield, and it was stated that it was one of the paths to immortality, to becoming a Super Einherjar. I don't think that there was a need to evolve the Tactics any further.

Also, if the Tactics were modified by Wang Tong, since the second half of the 256 Point Blade Technique came from Li Feng through Bonehead (Primordial Regression Technique, refer to Chapter 1297 of Tempest of the Stellar War), they would not have been able to merge together smoothly during Wang Zheng's fight with Lin Feng to become the 256 Point Blade Technique.

Seeing that the Tactics of the Deva King (Heavenly King Arts) and Tactics of the Blaze (Lie Flame Technique) are unchanged throughout the years, especially the Tactics of the Deva King, since Patroclus did not see fit to modify the Tactics even after becoming an Immortal since it was also considered one of the paths to becoming a Super Einherjar, I feel that the Tactics of the Blade was not modified as well since it was considered to at least be on par with the Tactics of the Deva King.

The reason why Wang Tong might have been mentioned by Charcoal as the creator of the Point Blade Technique was because Charcoal evolved from just a simple robotic assistant during Wang Tong's time to become what he was in Wang Zheng's time. Since Charcoal did not know anything from before Wang Tong's time, it might have mistakenly believed that Wang Tong was the creator of the Point Blade Technique, since Wang Tong charged it with passing on the Tactics to the next generation.

Also, Li Feng was well-known for utilising the Tactics of the Vayu (or Tactics of the Wind God, translations may differ), and I believe that his usage of the Tactics of the Blade was more or less kept a secret from nearly everyone (I am only drawing a conjecture here from what I have read in Tempest of the Battlefield, since I have not yet read Tempest of the Steel Mecha). Only the Li Family, Wang Tong and possibly Zachery knew that his true core Tactics and his greatest inheritance which marked someone as his true heir was the 256-Node Tactics of the Blade. Since the Li Family was very likely eradicated when the laws of the universe destroyed Humanity's power and Patroclus, Wang Tong, and Zachery are not there any more, it is safe to assume that there is no one left who knows that Li Feng is the creator of the Tactics of the Blade and he was the one to pass it down to Wang Tong.
