Slam! Slam! Slam!
Tang Tian was like a target, countless balls of light were advancing dauntlessly, wave after wave, unceasingly striking his body. The power of the balls of light was just perfect, causing Tang Tian to feel and experience pain, but not strongly enough to cause him to faint right away.
Bing, who was in the air, said, with a voice that, for some unknown reason, sounded exceptionally ice-cold and ruthless.
“Pay attention to your area of defence, didn’t you learn a few different martial techniques? Some martial techniques should be used to attack, and some should be used to defend.”
“That’s right, you simply cannot defend all the attacks, but that doesn’t mean you stop defending right? You should use all your energy, all your potential, and block a few of the hits, and block off even more hits. The more you defend the attacks, the less you need to bear the attacks. Your chances of survival will then be higher.”
“I have to remind you, in this critical phase, the Southern Cross Army at that time, basically every month, there would be six dead, due to the fact that they took too many attacks.”
Bing’s iron blooded and emotionless voice consistently entered Tang TIan’s ear. Ever since they entered the recruit barracks, Bing became more humanlike, iron blooded, and emotionless.
Tang Tian gritted his teeth as he endured. He completely did not have a chance to reply. The light in front of him was dense. The balls of light flocked together, making it look like a ball of glowing storm unveiling itself right in front of you. Tang Tian soon realised Minute Collapsing Fist and Broken Shadow Palm were not useful in this scenario. Although Minute Collapsing Fist was heavy and powerful, its attack rate was too slow, and although Broken Shadow Palm could cover a huge area, those Broken Shadow Palms could not control and could not effectively protect him from harm.
It was best to use Eagle Claw.
The balls of light were the size of a fist. It was best to use Eagle Claw as it could catch them nicely. The key point was that Eagle Claw sent out attacks at a very fast pace.
Amongst the glimmering light, Tang Tian was unusually focused. He dared not be distracted. Any distraction, and he would end up badly. Earlier on, Tang Tian was slightly distracted and he was hit by a ball of light on his nose, which was still bleeding.
When the frail nose was being hit, Tang Tian seemed to have lost all his strength to defend. His body took a total of thirty punches before he regained consciousness.
After that, Tang Tian was especially observant on protecting his vital parts well.
Dual claws enveloped in flames, on the training grounds they formed a fire screen. Whenever the balls of light hit the fire screen, they would be blown apart.
But under the consistent barrage of balls of light penetrating through Tang Tian’s defence, they would hit his body. At this time, The Crane Body inside Tang Tian would automatically rotate, eliminating more than half of the damage, but it would still leave a bruise.
Tang Tian tenaciously blocked the attacks, as he gradually got the knack of it. While blocking the ball of light, if he added in more power, it would be reflected at a higher speed, and it could knock away a few of the incoming balls of light.
As expected, Tang Tian’s method was having an effect. All those balls of light that were reflected away knocked into the other incoming balls of light, and the stress on Tang Tian was lessened.
“Not bad, to figure out the right method.” Bing’s ice-cold voice gradually became more excited.
Bing raised his head and look at the half moon in the sky: “Persevere until the sun comes up, then you can rest. But you have to take note, as it gets closer to daybreak, the pressure you face will grow more and more.”
The ironblood and ice-cold voice resounded out to the wilderness.
“This is what the saying: ‘Darkness comes before the dawn’ means!”
As Tang Tian cursed in his heart: “ Damn you, Insane Bing. What darkness…”
He dared not get distracted. The Eagle Claws’ speed was increasing. With each claw, a screeching sound filled the air.
Bing’s change was too obvious. This rascal may have seemed dumb previously, but he had no attacking disposition. Where did the current vicious aura and excitement came from? Ever since he entered the recruit training camp, Bing was like a changed person. Although he still spoke in an icy cold tone, and was always in a daze, his actions were filled with something Tang Tian could not describe. It was as if he had found his own goal.
Tang Tian was confused, but he had no time to think about all this, because the attacks coming right at him were getting a lot crazier.
If it was like what Bing had said, things would only get harder…
Tang Tian clenched his teeth tightly, eyes huge, as he used all of his strength to pull out astonishing rates of his claws which were covered with blazing fire. Only with this was he able to withstand the light balls’ attacks.
But the number of light balls coming right at him continuously increased. Tang Tian’s pressure was becoming greater. When Tang Tian could no longer take it, his defence collapsed, and innumerable light balls struck onto him as if it were raining. He wailed out loud, which spread out distantly.
Tang Tian, who was immersed in the messy and chaotic number of light balls attacking him, completely ignored how his True Power was changing.
The first Crane body could not hold on any longer, collapsing loudly with a bang. When the second Crane Body felt the danger, it slowly rotated, unceasingly attracting all the energy of the light balls!
Bing who was in the air, muttered: “To begin this kind of hellish training at the third level, what kind of monster will be born from this?”
In his words, a trace of excitement and hysteria was contained.
Could it be that this was his ethereal body and soul’s mission?
The sun started to rise up from the horizon and the light balls’ speed was clearly slowing down.
Plop.
Tang Tian, who was dizzy, fell to the ground, sinking deep into sleep.

Nobody cared for Tang Tian anymore. Master Kong thought Tang Tian ruined the Weak Point Arena mostly because he had special blood meridians. This could also explain why Tang Tian’s talent was horrible, yet he was capable. Special blood meridian martial artists always had a certain energy. But the energy of the blood meridians was weird. It could not be instigated with any ordinary energy.
Master Kong spent a lot of his efforts on the Weak Point Arena. If he had to pay the price for this, and in return, found a rare talent, Master Kong would not mind it at all. But if the Weak Point Arena was destroyed to only find a special blood meridians martial artist, Master Kong would be heartbroken.
He was deep in his thoughts on whether to simply rebuild a Weak Point Arena, or rebuild a more extravagant Weak Point Arena?
With respect to the elders, they would not care less about Tang Tian. Ah Mo Li and the others thought Tang Tian was undergoing some special training and nobody disturbed him. On the contrary, everybody was motivated. Tang Tian had used the Weak Point Arena to prove himself, and they could not lag behind.
The journey was peaceful.
In the carriage of the Honorable Martial Group, no one dared to plan for any ideas.
After a long and arduous journey, they had been flying for two whole months before they finally arrived at Immortal Constellation Mountain.
When the carriage stopped, everyone was overjoyed. They had stayed in the carriage for two months and everyone was feeling bored.
Bang!
Ah Mo Li banged on the door with his strength and cheered in joy: “Fundamental Tang! Fundamental Tang! Quick, come out! We’re here!”
Kicha, the door opened. Tang Tian was pale, and in a daze, he said: “Are we at Immortal Constellation Mountain already?”
“Yes, We are!” Ah Mo Li a look of concern: “Fundamental Tang, you look bad. Are you sick?”
“I’m fine. I’ve just been practising really hard. I need some rest.” Tang Tian heart warmed up and he forced a smile on his face.
Tang Tian’s body was covered in bruises. Bing’s training was getting insane. Each day, Tang Tian would be badly injured. Were it not for the bamboo queen’s bee plaster he had on hand, he would probably be in an even worse condition right now. Since Bing’s training camp had opened, Tang Tian had gone into the Cross Door to train every day.
Everyday, Tang Tian pulled through it, barely.
That son of a bitch, Bing! He showed no mercy and became more vicious!
“You need to take care of your health, going too far is as bad as going too little.” Ah Mo Li was concerned.
“Don’t belittle me! I am a godlike young man!” Tang Tian stared at Ah Mo Li purposely.
Ah Mo Li then relaxed and laughed: “That’s what I’m saying, who can defeat a godlike young man like you?”
Tang Tian sighed in his heart. Housefly Cow, you belittle all the maniacs in this world…
In Tang Tian’s heart, Bing was absolutely insane. He had no ounce of sweetness or foolishness. This bastard was a maniac and cold bloodedly insane. Even the godlike young lad could not take it…
When Tang Tian thought about the training he had to go through tonight, his eyes almost teared up.
“Let’s go, let’s go! We’re getting down!” Ah Mo Li urged.
“En!” Tang Tian answered weakly and without strength.
When Tang Tian appeared, some were shocked.
Han Bing Ning frowned: “Tang Tian, are you not feeling well?”
Ah Mo Li said from the side: “He has been practising too hard!”
Han Bing Ning then saw the light. With Han Bing Ning’s caring words, the others instantly felt an immense pressure. Tang Tian was already so powerful, yet he still practised while putting his life at risk. What excuses did they have to be lazy and waste time?
Sima Xiang Shan and the others decided quietly that they would double the time they spent practising from today onwards.
The elders revealed a look of despise. Tang Tian had never left his room these few days, humph, what practise could he possibly have been doing? Within the carriage, other than Master Kong’s room, the others were very small. Other than sitting down, it was practically impossible to practise his martial techniques in the room.
Such a lad would only know how to boast. Other than that, he would be destined to be a mediocre lad.
From what he saw, Tang Tian’s capabilities were merely due to his blood meridians. He lacked talent, was lazy, and only knew about boasting. Such people, the elders had seen too many.
But, he did not lay it down either. Just let this mediocrity run its own course.
“Master Kong!” a martial artist came up and looked respectfully at him.
“Is your minister around?” Master Kong smiled lightly.
“Minister is currently behind doors. she probably will only be out at the end of next month.” the martial artist felt sorry: “If she knew you’d come, she would be happy.”
Master Kong was shocked when he heard it. Immediately, his face revealed happiness: “Is she attempting to reach the eighth level already?”
“Yes!” the martial artist expressed his admiration: “Minister said, the rate of success is very high this time round!”
“Great! Great!” Master Kong was overjoyed. if his sister could reach the eighth level, then it meant that the Kong Family’s power would increase rapidly. He said hurriedly: “Don’t disturb her, I’m here to send off some talented rookies. Their talents are considered good and they have the intention of coming to Immortal Constellation Mountain. I will transfer them over.”
“Thank you for Master’s consideration!” the martial artist said respectfully. To be able to have new blood was good news to Immortal Constellation Mountain.
“The other rascal, he might be a special blood meridians martial artist. You can just throw him to the camp. Find one that has very bad conditions, a tough camp. Let the special blood meridians martial artist find his own way out.” Master Kong said casually.
“Yes!” the martial artist replied quickly. In his heart, he had already picked the worst camp for Tang Tian.
This rascal had most probably offended Minister’s brother.
Such a pity.
