Tang Tian stroked the Spirit Card carefully with his hands. That was his first martial arts Spirit Card. The size of the Spirit Card was similar to a poker card, it was thin and was made of metal, hard, yet pliable.
The spirit’s silhouette on the Spirit Card was blurry but skinny. Though it was unarmed, it had an aura that could cause palpitations in one’s heart.
Rank two martial arts. I can finally cultivate rank two martial arts!
Excited, Tang Tian took a deep breath in order to calm himself down.
His gaze regained its usual calmness and focused on the Spirit Card in his hand. The Bronze Grade Spirit Card started to glow as though the soul on the card were coming alive. The aura that could cause one’s heart to palpitate doubled in thickness.
Suddenly, a ray of light burst out from the Spirit Card, and was absorbed into Tang Tian’s body.
All of a sudden, Tang Tian’s head exploded. Many things were stuffed into it. Unable to defend in time, his brain became paralyzed. However, he very quickly escaped from the situation, and felt something odd. He seemed to know the messages that were stuffed into his brain, it was familiar yet foreign. This feeling was peculiar.
Out of the blue, he felt his hands were burning hot and immediately, Tang Tian woke up.
Lowering his head to look, the cross was already etched out onto his palm.
“Huh?” Tang Tian was confused. Before he could react, his palm generated currents of attractive forces. His mind went blank again.
The changes occurring without any signs frightened Tang Tian
When he could finally react, his expression changed abruptly.
Darn it!
The Bronze Plate could not have destroyed his hard-earned Spirit Card right?
Tang Tian’s eyelid twitched as he thought about it. Without saying anything else, he thought about the Bronze Plate.
The surroundings darkened as the Southern Cross Door glowed and floated in front of him. Yet the instant Tang Tian laid his eyes on the door, he was shocked. The Spirit Card which had disappeared earlier, had appeared on the door. Although the skinny silhouette was blurry, Tang Tian was sure he recognized it. It was the same silhouette that was on the Spirit Card!
While he was looking at the skinny silhouette, a set of words suddenly appeared in his mind
Celestial Guardian of the Door!
Although the ‘Celestial Guardian’ looked the same as the silhouette that was on the Spirit Card, it was emitting a powerful aura which was much stronger than what it was emitting on the card earlier.
On the Southern Cross Door, the cross stood vertically as the core. On the left was the grey man who looked just like Tang Tian, and on the right was the blurry shadow.
On both sides, the grey man looked stern, and the shadow looked vicious.
Tilting his head, he studied it for awhile.
The two shadows on both sides of the door looked remarkably like the Celestial Guardian, with features that were extremely alike, anyone would have mistaken them for another Celestial Guardian!
Tang Tian let out a laugh and thought his idea was way too interesting.
Yet not long after, he could no longer laugh. Though The Celestial Guardian looked interesting, his hard-earned Spirit Card was gone just like that, Tang Tian’s face turned bitter.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and remembered, when the grey man appeared, he fought with him. Could it be that the shadow wanted to spar with him as well?
His eyes glimmered and was eager to try. He had no fear at all.
While the opponent’s power seemed vicious, to Tang Tian, he was excited when he was faced with things that was never seen before.
“Hey! Young lad…um, no, Uncle!” Tang Tian pointed with his right finger towards the shadow on the door and yelled: “Do you want to fight?”
The shadow on the door had no reaction.
The method was wrong…
Tang Tian murmured and walked forward. His face was just inches away from the door, and he opened his eyes wide to stare at the shadow not forgetting to nag: “Hey, young lad, are you scared already…”
The method was still wrong…
Tang Tian did not give much thought about it and placed his hand forward to slap on the shadow.
His hand hit nothing but air.
Shocked to see his hand was halfway through the door, Tang Tian’s had an odd feeling on his hand. The door was like a soft and dense net, and with his hand halfway through the door, it was as if he had opened up the net.
Yet the weird thing was, that there were countless messages from the net permeating through his arms, entering his body.
Wait a minute…
Tang Tian’s pupils dilated and he felt pleasantly surprised. These were the messages that were transmitted into his body from the Spirit Card!
So this is where you all went!
Tang Tian grinned. He attempted to extend his arms further, to absorb more messages into his body. Instead, he squeezed his entire body into the door.
At this moment, half of Tang Tian’s body was in the door, as though he was embedded in it. He suddenly felt a strong force pulling him in. unable to react promptly, he was sucked into the door.
It was pitch dark inside, until a dull glow started lightening up the place.
His vision was a blur.
Eh, Tang Tian looked around to find himself facing the black mirror behind the door.
He focused on the lines, and in a few moments, he felt a sense of familiarity. Tang Tian lowered his head and looked at his fists.
What a weird feeling… like… he had been practicing [Flash Fist Technique] for a very long time.
He suppressed this weird feeling in his heart and tried punching.
