Chapter 061 – The Spirit General’s Tunnel (2/2)
He finally understood why Baldie and his friends dared not come in.
Seeing the nails of the Spirit General and the carvings he saw on the wall, Tang Tian knew, the Spirit General in front of him was probably the senior who had turned into a Martial Spirit before he died.
Tang Tian bowed seriously and said: “Senior, I have come to retrieve your treasures. Although you are still guarding your treasures, you must not be happy. They’re all covered in dust and are not showing their value like before. It’s a pity they cannot shine on battle fields!”
The Spirit General stared right at Tang Tian in silence.
Tang Tian looked at Spirit General and said: “Senior, if you need to test me, come right at me! I’ll prove to you my capabilities, and I will not humiliate them!”
Tang Tian’s expression turned solemn and said in a low voice: “Fornax!”
Whoosh!
The blazing fire enveloped both his fists. Now, the flame on the black metal gloves had a tinge of green colour to it.
After countless hours of training, the Martial Spirit of the black metal gloves transformed quietly. Tang Tian always had a feeling that the transformation of the black metal gloves was coming soon.
But right now, in his eyes, there was only Spirit General whose body was changing slightly.
A ball of icy cold light burst out of Spirit General’s eyes. Tang Tian only felt a flash of a silhouette before him. He then quickly followed the traces of the Spirit General!
So fast!
But when Tang Tian was in the recruit training camp, he was always trampled by balls of light. Slowly, he trained his agility in intuition. Many a time, the eyes were not reliable enough, as it was hard to capture sometimes. Sometimes, the opponent deliberately created an illusion.
When Tang Tian was in the midst of ‘take a beating training’, he faced the balls of lights that came like a storm. If he wanted to solely rely on his eyes to catch them, it was practically impossible.
Tang Tian’s method was to train up his own intuition.
This method was not something that Bing had taught him. It was something he figured out himself. He realised that as long as he maintained his calm, his intuition would become super agile. Once he found out the benefits of intuition, Tang Tian was more compelled to begin the torturous training. ‘Take a beating training’ was not only applicable to refine the True Power in the body, it was also good in refining his intuition.
The intuition was just like crude bronze. As it continuously got refined, it became shinier. Whatever it could capture would be greater.
This was why Tang Tian could hold on so long in ‘Take a beating training’, and progressively endure longer and longer.
Almost without any hesitation, Tang Tian leaned, and his fingers acted like hooks. He immediately went left.
Ding!
A piercing sound rang. Tang Tian could sense a thin thread of True Power penetrated in through his fingers.
Incredible!
If not for his Crane Body having the capabilities to turn damage into True Power, he would have suffered a great blow like any other ordinary martial artist who was confronted with such an unusual True Power! Although the Spirit General’s power was at the fourth level, with such a style of attack, it was way too weird. As for its power, it was much stronger than a regular fourth level Spirit General.
Tang Tian recognised such power. He dared not delay any longer and he pulled out his Eagle Claws towards Spirit General like a raging storm.
The whistling sounds covered the tunnel as if water was gushing through.
There was one word to describe Tang Tian’s Eagle Claw: Fast! It was superbly fast! During the ‘take a beating training’, if he slowed down even just slightly, the balls of light would hit him heavily, leaving him bruised. And every day, he had to withstand the balls of lights attacking him like a raging storm for more than six hours. With such an insane way of training, the Eagle Claws that he had fine tuned would, of course, be extraordinary!
Tang Tian’s Eagle Claws might not be the strongest among the different versions of the Eagle Claw, but it definitely had the fastest rate of attacking. It had reached the maximum limit of the Eagle Claw.
But Tang Tian never thought that the Spirit General’s attack would not at all be inferior to his own.
His ten fingers were like ten sticks of iron chains. When it flew in the air, it brought along with it shrilling whistles.
The opponent attacked fast. Innumerable fire bodies were released between them.
Wave after wave of True Power flowed to Tang Tian’s fingertips, continuously entering Tang Tian’s body, but it was all absorbed by the Crane Body.
The frequency of attacks between both parties was astonishing. In the short period of time, there were already over three hundred waves of True Power, like oxens running into the ocean, disappearing into the Crane Body inside Tang Tian’s body.
The Spirit General did not expect that there was somebody who was capable of absorbing other people’s True Power.
The result of wearing and tearing his True Power away was very clear. The Spirit General’s attack speed was beginning to slowly decline. Tang Tian’s intuition was very sharp, and immediately noticed the changes.
A long hiss came out. Tang Tian’s offense got increasingly fierce, but he did not bother about his True Power depleting, and went all out to attack.
A concentrated and unprecedentedly sharp, mournful hiss was heard. Suddenly, a fierce aura burst forth, hitting onto the rock walls. In the blink of an eye, the rock walls had countless more scratches, finger holes and pieces breaking. One human and one spirit’s battle, had caused the four rock walls to be riddled with scars.
Ding!
A light rang, Tang Tian’s palms enveloped with blazing red fire turned into green.
The blazing green fire was less ferocious, but more elegant!
Tang Tian could only feel a strong surge of energy gushing from his fists!
Tang Tian was overjoyed!
The black metal gloves had evolved!
Fornax bronze gloves!
