Chapter 065 – Psychotic Techniques (2/2)
Baldie was extremely torn for decisions.
An entire hour had passed, yet Tang Tian had not returned. Baldie shuddered, could it be… …
If one Green Sandalwood Ape was already so formidable, then a hoard of apes was definitely insurmountable.
Tang Tian must be dead already… …
Baldie mumbled silently to himself and hesitated, but he eventually inched towards the Heavenly Pit. He prepared himself to run and escape if the situation did not seem right. His light body technique was quite decent, and the apes disliked leaving the Heavenly Pit as well.
Although it was against my wishes to call you Big Brother, since I have acknowledged you, I will treat it as an act of kindness on my part to retrieve your body, but do not pester me even if you turned into a ghost… …
Baldie muttered to himself, while inching towards the Heavenly Pit.
The Heavenly Pit is just around the corner. Baldie held his breath as he clearly knew that the Green Sandalwood Ape has an astute sense of hearing. Baldie slowly inched forward along the boulder, and poked his head out for a peek.
He froze.
Apes with their four joints destroyed were wailing in pain, all over the ground. It was a majestic sight to behold, as there were at least five hundred apes packed along the entire stretch.
A heavily bandaged silhouette could be seen holding on to his knee, catching his breath. The coarse, heavy panting could be heard crystal clear from afar, where Baldie is hiding.
The white bandages were covered in mud, mixed with fresh blood, and were torn and tattered beyond recognition. It was a sorry sight to behold.
However, Baldie did not feel disturbed, he was astounded.
He realised that there was no longer an apt description for the incredible sight before him.
“Hey, come over and lend a hand if you are here!” Tang Tian suddenly turned his head over and shouted towards Baldie’s hiding spot.
Splash!
Baldie, who was startled, fell face-first into the mud.
Tang Tian paid no heed to him. Looking at the floor full of wailing Apes, he felt a sense of accomplishment. In just one day, he has improved in his Joint Technique by leaps and bounds, which was far more effective than any previous practices. He had lost count of the number of blows he had received, as the only thing on his mind was the Joint Technique!
Due to the overly-forceful attacks, the high level True Power in his body was exhausted, causing him to be unable to withstand the blows towards the end.
That is why Tang Tian was covered in blood.
However, this was all worth it. In this battle today, he has grasped the concept of the Joint Technique and attained a higher level of understanding. In the face of extreme danger, his attention was even more focused than before, thus creating unbelievably great results. Another reward reaped from the battle was that, as long as he could fully internalise what he had learnt, his Joint Technique will be able to progress to a higher level.
His only flaw was about to be replaced.
With each improvement, he would feel that he is a step closer to Qian Hui, closer to his dreams.
This feeling, it’s superb!
Amidst the heavy panting, the heavily bandaged Tang Tian broke into a smile.

When Tang Tian returned to the outer camp, the whole camp was in a stir. No one thought that Tang Tian would returned alive, let alone imagine that he would return with five hundred spirit nuclei. The gazes bestowed upon Tang Tian were no longer of fear, but of warm welcome.
Someone of similar age and size as them has actually completed such a miraculous achievement!
That’s right, this must be a miracle!
The usually depressed outer camp seemed to be in a brighter mood today.
The moment Tang Tian reached the camp, he lost consciousness.
Tang Tian self-examined his body and was shocked to find that the dangerous True Power within his body had completely vanished without a trace. Tang Tian was bewildered, as even if it was absorbed, it should not have been absorbed so rapidly. It was then that Tang Tian realised his body had a new fuzzy ball of mass within, and got a rude shock.
That fuzzy ball of mass seems to be mist, but it also seems like a ball of flame, quietly floating in his Dantian.
There was actually a new foreign body inside him! Tang Tian was startled, and hurriedly ran to the Cross Door to find Uncle Bing. “Uncle Bing, there is something wrong with my body.”
Bing stiffly replied, with a tinge of astonishment, “That is a Martial Spirit, nothing much.”
“Martial Spirit?” Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, before heaving a sigh of relief, scratching his head in reply, “So this is the Martial Spirit, what a scare. Eh, this is not right, I am only in the third level, I can’t possibly be able to produce a Martial Spirit. Isn’t that something you are only able to form at the fourth level?”
“In normal cases, yes.” Bing replied, “But your circumstances are unusual. High level True Power and Crane Body energy, these I cannot fathom either.”
Tang Tian was very excited, “Does it mean that I am formidable now?”
“Although you have produced the Martial Spirit, you are unable to use it.” Suddenly, Ghostly Claw Nong beside Bing spoke.
Never in his wildest dreams did Tang Tian think that Ghostly Claw Nong could speak, but he was now attracted by what Nong said, so he hurriedly asked, “Why is that?”
“Before attaining the seventh level, the Martial Spirit is unable to be used directly by yourself.” Nong said, “It’s biggest help to you right now, is to help you forge relationships with your treasures and increase their power. However, don’t bring your hopes up, as your Martial Spirit is too weak right now, thus the effect is limited.”
Tang Tian was greatly disappointed, muttering, “I thought I had a great deal, what a wet bucket.”
“It still has its uses.” Bing piped up, “Since you have produced a Martial Spirit, you can use it to unlock the Martial Spirit Chamber.”
“Martial Spirit Chamber?” Tang Tian was stunned, as it was the first time he heard of it.
