Hesitating slightly for a short moment, Tang Tian then bravely walked towards the door. For the sake of seeking the secrets of the Bronze Plate, he had spent five whole years practising the fundamentals in order to reach the million points needed to unlock the Bronze Plate. It was all for this day.
As he stepped across the Southern Cross Door, the scenery before him changed completely.
The very first thing he saw was the black ground beneath his legs, unaware of what material it was made of. It was as glossy as a mirror, and reflected Tang Tian’s figure. It was as hard as metal, and after taking a few steps, Tang Tian curiously sized up the place; It was roughly nine metres in circumference, devoid of life and the outside was shrouded by a boundless thick grey fog. He tried walking to the edge to the fog, but it seemed there was a bizarre repelling force. No matter how much force he used, he could not enter the grey fog.
Suddenly, red words emerged from the mirror-like ground beneath his feet.
Black background and red words, it was deep and demonic.
“Regardless of whether you’re strong or weak, you will always be your lifetime enemy, It is a lifetime fight. You have nowhere to run, you cannot rely on luck. If you win, you will be unparalleled, if you lose, you’ll realise that you have attempted nothing and accomplished nothing.”
“Prevailing over one’s self. Grade: Good. Rewarded practise time: Ten Days.”
Prevailing over one’s self?
Good?
Rewarded practise time?
Tang Tian’s mouth twitched in disdain, “Bullshit!”
“Thinking back, that man in grey and I used the exact same moves, whatever dog shit over one’s self. Whatever i knew, that guy knew too. However, didn’t I still beat him in the end?” Tang Tian thought joyfully.
This realistic brat, immediately focusing on his own victory. What can excite the heart more than victory?
Ten days of practise time? What is this nonsense?
Tang Tian scratched his head, paced up and down for awhile. It’ll be better to clarify a few things. The Bronze Plate was an object originally meant to help cultivation, reaching a million points, was its opening criteria.
Tang Tian did not understand, when his mom was still living, she never urged him to practise martial arts before. What if his mother also did not know of this object’s use? Where did Mom get the Bronze Plate from?
Unless….
Tang Tian’s face turned gloomy. Unless, this Bronze Plate was something that bastard man gave mother?
Once this thought arose, Tang Tian thought it was the most probable. Every time his mother helped changed the red string, she would be entranced looking at the Bronze Plate, having a look of recollection.
Tang Tian grasped his fists tightly!
Despicable!
After fuming for half a day, Tang Tian cleared his thoughts and let go of his anger. If the Bronze Plate was really given to mother by that bastard man, it’s better!
He would make full use of the Bronze Plate to help himself get stronger, and finally defeat that bastard!
Haha! At that time, that bastard man will definitely regret giving the Bronze Plate to mother that year!
Yes, it will be done this way!
Thinking about how that bastard will regret until his guts turn green, Ha Ha, that will be invigorating!
Tang Tian was again in high spirits, and he knew that the decision he made was really a genius plan.
The number ‘0’ distinctly lit up on the door. Why did it reset to zero? Will it still need fundamental martial arts to increase? Tang Tian shook his head, guessing it should be rank two martial arts.
Finally being able to practise rank two martial art techniques, finally touching upon the Bronze Plate’s secrets, yet still he still knew nothing.
In addition…. This place does not have any trace of mother….
Tang Tian looked at the Southern Cross Door, seemingly entranced, Did mother used to come here as well?
A sense of longing appeared on his face.
He stood in a daze for awhile before returning back to his senses. He clenched his fists and muttered to himself, “Mom, I will definitely unravel the Bronze Plate’s true secrets! I will definitely find that bastard, and drag him to your tomb to repent!”
With a face filled with resolve, he did not hesitate anymore, and turned to walk towards the Southern Cross Door.
The moment Tang Tian stepped out of the Southern Cross Door, he passed through countless lights and shadows that travelled back and forth rapidly for a brief moment, and in the next, the feeling he got from his feet led Tang Tian to know that it was his own home’s floorboards.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Tang Tian appeared in his own bedroom.
The surroundings were so familiar, like everything that happened previously was just an illusion.
He subconsciously placed his hands on his neck to feel for the Bronze Plate, but all his hands felt was air.
Tang Tian quivered and turned pale with fright!
His neck, aside from being empty, only had 5 red strings tied together.
The Bronze Plate!
Where did the Bronze Plate go to?
At that moment, there was a burning feeling on his palm.
Tang Tian lowered his head to look, and an exact replica of the cross on the door appeared on his palm.
The cross slowly dissipated, until it disappeared.
Unless….
Tang Tian’s eyes widened, with a surprised look, and with a thought in his mind, the scene before his eyes took a change; He was once again standing in front of the Southern Cross Door.
The Bronze Plate was actually implanted into his body!
After being surprised, thick-skinned Tang Tian felt that this way was actually much better.
Finally, there was not a need to worry about losing the Bronze Plate.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
After entering and leaving a couple of times, Tang Tian roughly grasped the usages of the Southern Cross Door.
What he was most surprised about was the rewarded practise time. Once he stepped through the Southern Cross Door, the time in the outside world would stop flowing. Even when he stayed there for an entire day, the outside time did not move at all.
This astounding discovery was too inconceivable, leaving Tang Tian dazed for a period of time before coming back to his senses, a smile spreading out on his face, before he started facing the sky and laughing out loud.
It’s time!
Over the past five years, he had spent countless unexplainable hours on fundamental martial arts. His time, was slower than others by a whole four years! Yet now, he had the possibility of catching up to all of them!
He could finally get back all those hours!
Tang Tian’s current mood was very hard to describe. Five years of time, from when he was twelve years old, to seventeen, he had already become Andrew Academy’s oldest student.
Although his outer appearance was one that did not care about, in his heart, he had always carried an enormous pressure. The things that encouraged him forward everyday were the numbers on the Bronze Plate that jumped each time he mastered some fundamental martial art, and the longing hidden deep inside his heart. He longed to find the bastard who abandoned his wife and son, beat him up like a dog and drag him to his mother’s tomb to repent. This longing was enough to fulfill his promise, he promised Qian Hui that he would eventually find her at Immortal Constellation, and they agreed to go to Heaven’s Road together.
Therefore, he always clenched his teeth and persevered.
