The light in front of him suddenly disappeared, causing Tang Tian’s vision to be plunged into darkness.
The sudden darkness caused Tang Tian to be dumbstruck.
Hu!
The darkness quickly came and quickly went, in the blink of an eye, it was like a mirage that disappeared.
Ya ya’s small fist, stopped 2 cm away from Tang Tian’s nose.
Tang Tian was stunned.
Ya Ya was extremely happy with Tang Tian’s reaction, but forgot that it was still in the air, and instantly dropped to the ground, smashing onto the ground like a gelatin dessert. In a blink of an eye, it ricocheted upwards, and regained it’s form, then jumped up again.
Tang Tian reacted, and stammered: “Swallowing Light Steel Fist…..”
Ya Ya happily crossed it’s arms, and had a posture of power.
After revolving around, it was picked up by Tang Tian. After that it was stretched thin into a membrane, and then returned back to its shape, Tang Tian muttered: “Other than being blacker, there isn’t many changes, don’t tell me the way to use the black smoke is to swallow it? Do I need to analyze it? See if there is any Swallowing Light Steel Fist spirit card?”
Ya Ya’s body was frozen, it’s meaty face filled with fear.
“That was a unique martial technique, to have been swallowed by a bud spirit general, such a waste! That was worth a lot of money!”
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. The angrier he got, the more pain he inflicted. His expression unkind as he stared at Ya Ya. Ya Ya’s face immediately had a flattering smile, other than the eyes, nothing could be seen.
It was regretting like mad, if it did not flaunt the skill it would not had courted disaster!
“Now there is it’s chance to atone for it’s crime.” Bing’s voice suddenly came out from behind Tang Tian.
Tang Tian turned around and looked at Bing suspiciously: “What chance?”
“Your strength, has broke through the upper limits of the recruit barracks. The recruit barracks is unable to help you any further, so we need a real army barracks.” Bing explained, he did not bring up the battle of that day.
“A real army barracks?” Tang Tian was immediately attracted to Bing’s topic, and asked: “Didn’t you say that the real army barracks are all at Southern Cross Constellation?”
“That is the truth.” Bing said: “But, near the recruit barracks, there is actually an abandoned barracks.”
“An abandoned barracks?” Tang Tian was startled.
“That’s right.” Bing reminisced: “That used to be the frontlines, and had an army garrisoned there, but after that, our perimeter kept on expanding, so the garrisoned ground kept shifting outwards, so that barracks became abandoned.”
“So it’s like that.” Tang Tian understood, but then he was doubtful: “What’s the use of an abandoned army barracks?”
“It might been abandoned, but that does not mean it is useless.” Bing patiently explained: “And, I can also take control of that barracks, so it can be activated. It has many capabilities that can aid you. The southern cross army, army barracks have perfect capabilities. And, it can produce spirit military leaders of ranked officers onwards.”
“Doesn’t that mean if anyone found it, they can produce spirit military leaders?” Tang Tian asked.
Bing finally could not hold in his sneer: “You think any random person can activate it? Only people with authority like mine can activate them. The ranking of the army is much more strict than you could ever imagine, rookie.”
Seeing Bing’s face of ‘I am an important person’, Tang Tian sneered: “Hey, senior officer, then you go and activate it.”
Bing then realized, and immediately changed to a glib tongue, as swift as the wind: “ With the army barracks, it will be of huge aid to your training in martial techniques, think about it, you are currently training in [Wind Concealment] and [Air Shield Strike Technique] that have the qualifications to become unique martial techniques. With the army barracks, the probability of you breaking through will be increased by a huge margin. The army barracks has many training subjects which were all created for the sake of chasing after the limits.”
“Is that real or fake?” Tang Tian did not believe him.
“For sure.” Bing knew it was the crucial period, and started to brag with everything he had: “Do you know that in our era, it was generally more free. Especially in the training of martial techniques, there was no such restrictions and taboos like we have currently, and chasing after our limits was one of the freedom entitled to us. For example the fastest sword, the largest power, the strongest defence, the strongest instincts, the most agile footworks. Whoever can reach one of those, immediately becomes famous in the barracks. Those assholes vented all their energy to training everyday, and would just spend their time on training. In the three big armies, our Southern Cross Army’s freedom, is definitely the best!”
Tang Tian was convinced: “Where is the abandoned barracks?”
Bing followed along Tang Tian’s left side and pointed: “In that direction, but we need to open a route from the gravels from that direction. Ya Ya’s Swallowing Light Steel Fist is suitable for the job.”
Ya Ya immediately puffed up it’s chest and raised it’s head, showing a ‘I can be trusted’ expression.
“Alright.” Tang Tian threw Ya Ya to Bing, and asked: “Roughly how far?”
Bing’s expression became happy, and said: “Not too far, just across the clay plateau.”
“The…. the plateau?” Tang Tian asked with a stammer.
“Yes, I remember when we used light body arts to rush through our journey that time, we spent about two months.” Bing recalled: “The clay plateau, is extremely vast, and there was the Tao Tribe staying there, our army in the past used to have many people from that tribe.”
Tang Tian looked towards Ya Ya in sympathy, it needed to drill a path through the entire plateau……
Ya Ya had already fainted in fright.
Tang Tian left the recruit barracks and went to Three Spirits City brimming of pity, and was welcomed by Pi Pa, who brought him to Old Man Fei’s laboratory.
“The conditions are not too bad.” Tang Tian looked around, finding the space was adequate, with many star treasures, all lined up in a row, the light aura blinding his eyes. After spending 1.5 billion on star treasures, the results was extremely astonishing, if other blood meridians specialist witnessed such a scene, their eyes would be filled with red and would spit blood on the spot.
Old Man Fei laughed foolishly, he was extremely elated with the living conditions he had. At the start, he was worried. He had never heard of Three Spirits City, and did not know what was awaiting him.
But when he followed Bell back to Three Spirits City, he was stunned foolish upon seeing the huge base constructed.
It was a gigantic bronze base!
Old Man Fei guessed that his Master was definitely from some ancient aristocratic family, only they could produce such wealth. The bronze base had already caused him to be extremely shocked, but the conditions of Sai Lei mechanical workshop caused him to be even more stunned. He did not have great understanding of mechanical weapons, but he could clearly see, the allocation given to her, would definitely cause many mechanical engineers to be jealous.
Sai Lei immediately gave him a surprising large area, and he dared to confirm that if the blood meridians specialist saw his current living conditions, they would immediately reject all the star coins, and would run over crying and screaming.
Tang Tian looked at the empty space, and said: “If you require a few assistants, go and call some people.”
“Can I?” Old Man Fei was elated, he knew of many unrecognized blood meridians specialist. Seeing such an extravagant laboratory, he thought of the old friends of his.
“Yes you can.” Tang Tian said: “If there are suitable people, just call them straight over.”
Tang Tian looked at Pi Pa, his eyes lit up: “Pi pa, what suggestions do you have?”
That’s right, if he did not understand because he was not clever enough, he had clever friends.
Pi Pa coughed, then asked: “Master, what requests do you have for the laboratory?”
“Request?” Tang Tian was startled: “To be able to unravel my blood meridians.”
“Any requirements for profitability?” Pi Pa continued to ask.
“No requirements.” Tang Tian shook his head, he had many ways of earning moneys, but he did not wish to delay the time taken to unravel his blood meridians for the sake of earning money: “I want it to be as fast as possible. The only goal of the laboratory is to unravel my blood meridians.”
“I understand.” Pi Pa said softly: “I will follow that and create a suitable plan.”
“Pi Pa sure is competent! I will hand it over to you!” Tang Tian said excitedly.
Old Man Fei did not refuse, after the past few days of interacting, Pi Pa’s knowledge and capabilities, had convinced him. Any questions that he had, he would find Pi Pa first, and she was more reliable than Sai Lei who would disappear here and there.
“Alright, Old Fei, what results had you gained recently?” Tang Tian asked.
“There are some results.” Old man Fei’s spirit was roused, he had not slept the past few days and had been researching continuously, even forgetting his meals. He was extremely clear, that the boss had spent 1.5 billion, and viewed his research as the most important thing. The earlier he could get results, the more the boss will see him as important, and the trust emplaced on him will be more.
Tang Tian had just casually asked, but did not expect Old Man Fei to have some results, and immediately said: “Tell me, tell me.”
“Master please follow me.” Old man Fei took the lead, and going through door after door, he reached the tightly guarded depths of the laboratory.
Upon entering, Tang Tian was immediately attracted to the thread of black flames floating in the glass casing.
“The black flames accumulated in Master’s blood meridians, have gone through separation, and the latest confirmation, is that it is the void dark flames.” Upon speaking on his subjects, Old Man Fei became full of vigor: “The Void Dark flames exist in the void plain, and until now, only three type of blood meridians have the ability to use the Void Dark flames. But after going through experiments to rule them out, your blood meridians are neither of the three. And I realized, the void dark flames in Master’s blood meridians, is not natural.”
“Not natural? What do you mean?” Tang Tian was startled.
“It means it was not inherited from either of your parents.” Old Man Fei explained.
“You mean, it was placed in after I was born?” Tang Tian asked.
“Master’s reasoning is correct.” Old Man Fei’s expression congealed: “This Void Dark flame, came to be through a deliberate process, and was thoroughly smashed into Master’s blood meridians. Other than that, I found another type of substance similar to the void dark flames.”
Old Man Fei’s hands pointed to another glass casing.
Tang Tian did not notice it previously, but upon closer inspection, he realized that a needle sized blue ice crystal was floating inside. It was too small, therefore Tang Tian did not notice it.
Tang Tian’s heart shook, could it be….
“This blue ice crystal, is a terrifying and highly toxic poison, it is called the Ice Blue Heart, because it directly uses the person’s constitution. In the past, people used it to train in some mind control martial techniques. It is the same as the void dark flames, and was deliberately mixed into your blood meridians. Also, after mixing with the void dark flames, it coincidentally had a subtle equilibrium, no toxicity, such a miraculous technique, has never been heard of before.”
Old Man Fei then said softly: “When I separated your Void Dark flames and Ice blue heart, Master’s blood meridians had a new transformation.”
