Wolf Stronghold was almost completed, due to it being a pure military fort, the scope of it was not too big, and construction was much simpler. The remaining, were all the fine details.
Adrian and the few people were handed over to Little Crane by Tang Tian. Tang Tian thought sinisterly in his mind, he did not know how Little Crane would torture them, and would love to see.
But he had no time.
He was like an inflating balloon, the star power in his body was so full that it made him feel that he could explode at anytime.
Bing was already waiting at the No. 07 Army Barracks. Upon seeing Tang Tian, he started clicking his tongue: “Interesting, really interesting! I have been an instructor for so many years, but I have never seen such a strange existence, Little Tang Tang, I have to admit, you are truly a marvel of the world!”
“A marvel? What does that mean?” Tang Tian face looked cautious, Uncle Bing’s nice words were hard to come by.
“Oh, means you don’t walk the normal path.” Bing said earnestly.
“Really?” Doubt filled Tang Tian’s eyes.
“If you don’t believe me, you can go ask Crane.” Bing replied calmly.
Tang Tian then laughed and replied proudly: “Haha! Uncle, you have finally seen through the qualities of this godlike young lad! I don’t walk the normal path! That is right! I like that, godlike young lad is a marvel! Truly a marvel!”
It truly is putting me to the test…holding on to my laughter….. Bing thought as he did his best to control: “Let me see your current strength.”
“Here?” Tang Tian looked around, seeing that there was nothing, he then shouted: “Then here I come!”
Tang Tian stepped forward, the soles of his feet submerging deeply into the bronze floor, the astonishing flow of qi dissipated out, causing the surrounding 3m area around him to become uneven with indentations in the ground, forming a perfectly circular shallow pit!
Bing’s expression froze, his eyes opened wide, he watched the shallow pit beneath Tang Tian’s legs in disbelief.
The floor of the No. 07 Army Barracks training ground was fully bronze, thickness almost half a meter thick, extremely strong and durable, where even swords that cut on its surface would only ignite a spark. Heavy mechanical weapons could run, attack, crash, every motion unable to harm the floor, while what Tang Tian did was only to walk….
This brat….exactly what kind of freak was he…..
Tang Tian treaded along carefully, afraid that he might sink into the ground, he finally realized he could move forward, and was extremely excited.
Striding forward and punch!
His fist came out, bang, a clear and crisp explosion shocked Bing.
The location of where Tang Tian punch produced a waterlike transparent ripple, it was the result of the atmosphere being pressured to a high degree. Bing had seen such ripples before, they were produced only by very few martial artists. But Tang Tian’s punch actually did not have any True Power.
Bing was secretly surprised, after absorbing the Heavenly Martial Werewolf Blood meridians, Tang Tian had been producing many miraculous things, but the strength of his body did not show any progress and improvement.
To be able to enjoy the cleansing from ⅓ of star power from Ursa Major Constellation, this brat, is truly lucky….
Tang Tian was excited, he could release punches like the wind, and the in his hands, the most simplest fundamental fist techniques produced astonishing might. Bing almost had a misperception, it seemed like the training ground had a hurricane inside, he was standing far away, but the violent flow of air reached him, causing him to be unable to open his eyes.
Such a pity, such a powerful physique, if he became a mechanical martial artist, how strong would he become?
That thought flashed past Bing’s mind, he secretly shook his head. Since he was awakened, it had been a long time, and for so many years, from the beginning, he had been greedily absorbing everything that was current. Many thoughts that were vague and erred, in the past, were all much clearer now.
If Tang TIan’s personal strength was weak, he would have definitely made Tang Tian walk the mechanical artist road. With the appearance of Mechanical spirit weapons, it had redefined the profession, its peak had been greatly increased, and its future was unlimited. But like any new things, it’s growth to grow stronger required a long time. At the present stage, even the highest end mechanical martial artist fighting capability could not be compared to him.
The current advantage of the mechanical martial artists were in the army.
The air flow in the training ground was bombarded, scattering and smashing everywhere, becoming extremely chaotic. The sharp streams of air cut the bronze floor, leaving scars, but Tang Tian’s body was not affected in the least, he was like a gigantic hammer, wherever he went, the air would be smashed apart!
Tang Tian became even more excited the more he fought, he did not worry about the floor beneath his feet, did not need to worry about controlling his strength. All sorts of martial techniques flowed out like water, his hands continuously changing.
Fire Scythe Ghost Claw, Thousand Cleave Demonic Hand, Spiralling Energy….
Unknowingly, he had already trained in so many martial techniques. Every martial technique when used, felt different from usual. His body was filled with energy, so all of his martial techniques were produced with extreme power. When he activated the spiralling energy, even the surrounding air around him would spiral at high speeds!
But, for some reason, he still had a clogged feeling. Out of all the martial techniques, the only time he did not feel clogged was when he used fundamental martial techniques.
Fundamental martial techniques…..
Tang Tian subconsciously stopped.
After a while, he once again released a punch, fundamental fist techniques. As expected, the clogged feeling disappeared, every move and style came smoothly and easily.
Bing watched in confusion, fundamental martial techniques? After a while, he gradually saw some developments.
Tang Tian was repeatedly using fundamental martial techniques, and it had begun to show changes. The changes were familiar to Bing, as though he had seen them before, but he just could not remember where he had seen it.
He frowned, and continued to watch carefully, and finally, he remembered.
He was stunned, seeing the light in Tang Tian’s eyes, it was as if he was looking at a ghost!
That familiar change, appeared in Fire Scythe Ghost Claw, Spiralling Energy, Thousand Cleave Demonic Hand and the other martial techniques, the crazy young lad was actually trying to assimilate the changes of high level martial techniques into fundamental martial techniques!
This brat….has his brain truly gone nuts…..
Bing could not imagine it, everyone followed a fundamental principle when merging martial techniques, where the high level technique was the main technique, and the lower level technique complement it. Never was there anyone who would assimilate a high level martial technique into a lower level martial technique.
That was completely trying to go against common sense!
Low level martial techniques are low level, so other than its might becoming smaller, or becoming simpler, the core of it was just the understanding of True Power and utilizing it, barely scratching the surface.
That was also why, it was a common occurrence for high level martial techniques to absorb the strong points of low level martial techniques. And for low level martial techniques to absorb the essence of high level martial techniques, that was definitely impossible!
But, Tang Tian was doing the impossible!
Bing’s first reaction was to remind Tang Tian, but he quickly calmed down. He had been an instructor for a very long time, and he had plenty of experiences with regards to nurturing a new people. For example, the training in the past, Bing never straightforwardly told Tang Tan what he should do. Because he knew, that it was not right for him. So he gave Tang Tian a very difficult environment, and let Tang Tian grind through it himself and learn.
And experience told him, when the geniuses are doing something that looked extremely stupid, never disturb them.
Tang Tian was a genius…..eh, why would I think of such a terrifying thought…..
Bing felt that his brain was being pressed.
He turned around, and then left. Since he was not able to be constructive, then let the marvelous young man create his own things, who knows what kind of marvelous thing he would be able to conjure?
A marvel would never stop….
Bing returned to Three Spirits City, found Pi Pa, Tang Chou and Bell, telling them about the situation at Andromeda Constellation.
“We need to attack Ursa Major Constellation!” Tang Chou’s attitude was the most firm: “Ursa Major Constellation is now at the edge of the cliff, if we do not take the chance to kick them, and kick them off the cliff, we will have trouble later on.”
“That’s right, the relation between Ursa Major Constellation and us is not possible to mend, and we have no other choice.” Pi Pa also agreed with Tang Chou’s decision.
Bing looked at Bell.
Bell understood Bing’s meaning, but she had spent a lot of effort to investigate on Ursa Major Constellation, and was clear about their arrangements: “Ursa Major Constellation’s strongest point is their Grizzly Bear Army, but now they are back at their own constellation. There are no Star Doors or waterways between Ursa Major Constellation and Orion Constellation, Yan Yong Lie had already sent out an order for all martial artists of Ursa Major Constellation to flood into Orion Constellation, so it truly is a good chance.”
She stood up and went to the tea cup on the table, after drinking, she carried on: “Yan Yong Lie has burned his vitality, and used the Head of the King Bear to maintain the star power of Ursa Major Constellation, so he is weak. The only one that is able to threaten us in Ursa Major Constellation, is only one man.”
Bell raised one finger, her expression congealing.
“Blade Saint Shao De.”
Those four eyes, upon being said out, as though they were struck by lightning, everyone held their breaths.
Saint level!
Those two words by themselves heard an unspeakable power.
“Shao De and Yan Yong Lie have a loose relation, they were childhood friends, but after growing up, their personalities clashed. Yan Yong Lie is an ambitious man, while Shao De is extremely indifferent to worldly rewards. He has always stayed in the Sky Bear Mountain Range, and when Yan Yong Lie became the Constellation Master, he had tried to invite Shao De a few times, but was rejected consecutively. Yan Yong Lie was obviously angry, and pushed his army to the borders. But he did not expect Shao De to to fly over, and with one blade he slashed Sky Bear Mountain Range, causing the river water to swell and flow the other way, cutting off the army, no one was able to move another step, and then the river was hailed as the famous Bestowed Blade River of Ursa Major Constellation.”
Everyone was shocked hearing that, they had long known of what saint level martial artists were capable of, but to hear Bell’s account, they realized saint level martial artists were far stronger than what they thought!
“Although Shao De and Yan Yong Lie did not have the same political views, but their relation was not as bad as what the outside world thinks. Yan Yong Lie once sent Yan Tu to Shao De to learn blade techniques, and in the end it was because Yan Tu was not interested and happy about blade techniques and thus left. So in such a crucial moment, Shao De is bound to make his move.”
Bell’s face was extremely heavy.
The atmosphere of the meeting room became heavy.
But out of everyone, the only one who remained calm was Bing.
He had been through over a 100 battles, and the big wars and battles were things that no martial artists in the current generation could ever imagine. One Saint level, was not able to cause his will to waver.
Bing looked at Bell, and said earnestly: “only one saint level?”
Bell’s heart suddenly had a strange feeling, does Uncle Bing think they can win? She wanted to say something, but seeing Bing’s serious expression, she nodded her head: “Only one saint level! Shao De does not have any friends, and the war has occurred too suddenly, Ursa Major Constellation was unable to prepare beforehand.”
“I understand, meeting adjourned.”
Bing’s expression was calm as he stood up.
