The sky was covered in an enormous raging fireball!
Bang, bang, bang!
One after another, the mechanical beasts were enveloped in fire, flying like a thunderstorm soaring upwards, and then pouncing towards the enormous fireball in the sky. Every flaming ray that entered the big fireball, would erupt and become even more violent. The sound of the explosion was very loud.
Unceasing ruptures on the fireball, caused Kong You Lin to howl in anger and pain.
Bang!
The unprecedented explosion sounded, followed by the explosive light that erupted like a sun causing the land to become extremely white. The ground beneath Tang Tian’s feet trembled. The power of the shockwave was like a hurricane, devastating everywhere that it swept, houses were thrown and broken down like paper paste.
The light dissipated as the blast wave scattered.
The world quieted down, and the sky was empty as if it was cleansed, like nothing happened at all. Such a graceful looking prince donning the [The Swan’s Hymn]. The strong and fear inducing Kong You Lin was erased from the sky, and did not leave any trace.
After a short period of silence, The Lin family plunged into a state of panic. Such a terrifying scene actually landed in the Lin Family. What exactly happened?
All the Lin Family’s higher ups’ complexion changed. Showing faces of disbelief, they knew that only under what circumstance, would the mechanic beasts actually activate their suicidal killing mode.
The Patriarch was dead!
One after another, silhouettes started panicking and, from every corner of the Lin Family, soared into the air, stepped onto the roof, crazily utilising their light body arts to fly towards the main residence.
No one noticed that, in the midst of all the panic and mess, one ordinary young man quietly slipped out of the Lin Family.
The entire Three Spirits City was shaken. Countless experts stepped onto the roofs and high places, looking far and wide, while all experts with good relations with the Lin Family, flew over to help out.
In the midst of the mess, Tang Tian quietly returned to the army encampment from the Martial Spirit Chamber, and went back into the energy crack.
Returning to the energy crack and seeing the neverending energy balls spilling out from the energy brack, a light beamed from Tang Tian’s eyes. From start to the end, he had never exchanged blows with Kong You Lin, and it was from Kong You Lin’s strength, that a permanent mark was left on him.
If it was not for the mass suicidal attack, it would be difficult for the mechanical beasts to form a fatal threat to Kong You Lin. The qi aura released by a seventh level, imposing and powerful, True Power, even with the huge disparity of power, Tang Tian could clearly experience the danger that emitted from him.
Even if he used the Saber-Toothed Tiger, he was still not Kong You Lin’s opponent.
“Hey, Uncle Bing, Training Spirit Device! Training Spirit Device! Let’s begin! Let’s begin!” Once Tang Tian set his goals straight, he quickly threw the battle to the back of his mind, and was somewhat impatient.
Bing looked at Tang Tian. The youth’s eyes showed anticipation and seriousness, and he suddenly remembered what Tang Tian said previously.
“Let’s start tomorrow. Rest up for a day, when your state of mind recovers tomorrow, we will begin.” Bing did not promise anything.
“Why wait for tomorrow? Let’s start now! I’m a godlike young man! I have the vitality of a dragon and ferociousness of a tiger, what rest do I need!?” Tang Tian was discontent.
“You don’t need to rest, but I still need to rest.” Bing did not look at Tang Tian, and began floating to the corner and closed his eyes.
“You truly are growing old, how miserable it must be to have such a frail and weak body….” Tang Tian pouted.
Bing’s eyes twitched a bit. This despicable rascal….but once he thought about what Tang Tian would suffer the next day, his heart calmed down. He he, young man, tomorrow you will know what is called a living hell.
Seeing that none of his provocations were working, and that Bing was not going to retaliate, Tang Tian resentfully retreated to the side and began training his True Power.
After about an hour, Tang Tian once again opened his eyes, all the True Power in his body had fully recovered. As expected of the energy crack, the efficiency of training True Power there was astonishing, as Tang Tian could clearly feel the distinct improvement of his True Power. It was not clear if it was the recent battle that triggered it, but the improvement in his True Power was more substantial than usual.
Tang Tian thought of his spoils of war, and took out the spirit bead.
“Hey, Uncle Bing, what’s the spirit bead for?” He was curious.
Bing opened one eye: “Give it to Sai Lei. She should have some use for it.”
“Oh.” Tang Tian was disappointed. So it was a mechanic’s item, he casually threw it back into the Aquarius Martial Cabinet. The only spoil of war, was actually something not for him, and his heart immediately regretted it. He should have made use of the time in the mess of the Lin Family to search around.
Such a good chance, he actually missed it!
The glory of defeating a seventh level martial artist, could not just be said and done. To not search the Lin family, and even the dregs of Kong You Lin were gone, the beautiful set of armor was also burned to ruins, such a pity.
The grieving Tang Tian could only continue training.

“You too don’t know how Fundamental Tang is doing now?” Ah Mo Li mumbled to himself, while scooping out rice with utmost effort. His rice bowl was comparable to his size, thrice the size of other people.
Liang Qiu elegantly picked up a vegetable, put it in his mouth, patiently chewed until he swallowed it, and then slowly spoke: “Tang Tian’s improvements are definitely very fast, the outer barracks, to him, should not have any pressure.”
Han Bing Ning sat down quietly to eat, and did not make a sound.
Sima Xiang Shan fussily tugged at his plate for awhile: “The food here is getting worse and worse. This beef slice does not have any taste, the veggies are too raw, the seasoning is too heavy, and the salt is too much….”
Ah Mo Li stuffed food into his mouth hurriedly, and spoke with his mouth full: “I find it quite nice though….”
“I will definitely find them to speak my heart out tonight.” Sima Xiang Shan frowned, picked a piece of vegetable, and threw it into his mouth.
“The chef already changed it three times.” Han Bing Ning said coldly: “Don’t give the logistics any more trouble.”
“Or I can directly kill them?” Sima Xiang Shan said lightly.
“I do not want to go by days without eating.” Han Bing Ning put down her chopsticks, and looked coldly at Sima Xiang Shan.
Liang Qiu, who had just finished chewing another stalk of vegetable looked, to the side: “I do not wish to either, and I feel that their vegetables are cooked quite well.”
Ah Mo Li picked up his plate and put it to his mouth while he pushed the remaining food inside, his ferocious mouth was like a bottomless cave, the small mountain of rice and ingredients quickly vanished. He stood up: “I am going to get another portion. I like the chefs, their cooking amount is sufficient, enough for me to eat.”
Sima Xiang Shan shook his head and sighed: “Alright, such a pity, seems like I can only go outside and kidnap a better chef.”
Liang Qiu who was constantly eating only the vegetables, finished eating first, Han Bing Ning followed soon after, while Ah Mo Li was still fighting with his fourth plate of food.
“Over the next period of time, the Minister will be going to Rainbow City.” Liang Qiu raised a glass of green tea, and took his time and said: “I heard that there will be other branches going along. The Minister has already decided to go through a competition to choose who could follow. There are eight places for the new people, and it will be chosen from all the new recruits inside the barracks of the Immortal Constellation.”
“Rainbow City!” Han Bing Ning eyes lit up: “Miss Qian Hui will be at Rainbow City!”
“Aye, would the outer barracks participate? Fundamental Tang will definitely come and participate!” Ah Mo Li placed the bowl of rice down.
“He is long gone.” Sima Xiang Shan joked.
“Very likely.” Liang Qiu said: “The management of the camp is very lax. Tang Tian might not be able to take it. He will most definitely find Qian Hui.”
“Ah! I want to take part too! I want to go to Rainbow City!” Ah Mo Li raised both his hands: “Haha, I can spar with Fundamental Tang once again. This time, I want to beat the shit out of Fundamental Tang so he can see how much I’ve improved.”
No one felt awkward.
The four of them had made drastic improvements. Amongst this new batch, they were outstanding, and because of them, this new batch had earned itself a reputation as the strongest rookies as part of Immortal Constellation Mountain. But within the four, the one that improved the fastest was not Sima Xiang Shan, Han Bing Ning or Liang Qiu. it was Ah Mo Li.
This rascal improved ridiculously fast. The military officer in charge of training the rookies broke all rules for Ah Mo Li and treated him so darn well. Sima Xiang Shan and the others were jealous of him. Ah Mo Li, who became the center of attention, improved tremendously, like a wild horse off the leash, untamable.
Even though he had yet to spar with Liang Qiu officially, Liang Qiu had lost his confidence in defeating Ah Mo Li.
Amongst the four, Ah Mo Li was seen as the one who could defeat Tang Tian.
They all had a taste of Tang Tian’s abnormal and illogical body. Although their improvements were obvious, Tang Tian was beyond psychotic. No one would believe that his improvement would be any lesser than theirs. Tang Tian’s conditions might be inferior to theirs, but when had Tang Tian ever had the same conditions as them?
It was where that rascal was truly insane!
The thought of meeting Tang Tian at Rainbow City, everyone was motivated and was looking for to the trip to Rainbow City.
Everyone was curious though.
How strong would that rascal be when they met the psychotic Tang once again?

Tang Tian looked at Bing dismantling the Training Spirit Device.
The Training Spirit Device was a bronze disk of about ten millimeters. On top of the bronze disk was a complex floral pattern. Bing walked to and fro at the edge once, before he found a site where the energy was much denser to place the Training Spirit Device.
Once he placed the Training Spirit Device on the ground, he could hear a series of compressed slapping bronze mechanical sounds emitting from different parts of the bronze disk continuously. Then, it latched onto the ground.
The bronze parts started springing out layer by layer non-stop. Almost in the blink of an eye, it was so much bigger. The small Training Spirit Device was like a bronze rose which blossomed instantly.
The Training Spirit Device, which had gotten a lot bigger, was just like a small bronze stage.
The top of the bronze stage was decorated with countless exquisite flora patterns. Between the floral patterns, there was a slight glow.
“Stand on it.” Bing said to Tang Tian.
“Ok.” Tang Tian hurried up to the bronze stage.
“Are you ready?” Bing looked at Tang Tian and asked seriously: “It is an extremely painful process to train the spirit, but no matter how tough it is, you have to bear it!”
“I understand!” Tang Tian smiled as he said in a low voice.
“You have to remember.” Bing enunciated each word: “Your success is determined by how much suffering you can take.”
“Don’t worry, Uncle, I’m a godlike young lad!” Tang Tian said without much thinking: “I’m destined to become the strongest martial artist in this world!”
“Then you have to bear all the sufferings that others cannot bear.” Bing said.
Tang Tian smiled and revealed his sparkly white teeth: “Come on!”
He stood on the Training Spirit Device, and it lit up.
