Jing Hao did not use all his energy to fly. He obviously took care of Tang Tian who had a terrible rank three light body technique. This also gave Tang Tian a chance to clearly look at Jing Hao’s light body technique at a close distance. Jing Hao had a unique feature as he moved forward. He moved in a pencil straight line, as if it was drawn out by a ruler. If he needed to turn, he would turn sharply, then he would go back to advancing in a straight line. If he needed to make a big turn, it felt super weird. Like a mechanical human, he would then ka, ka, ka over.

Jing Hao noticed Tang Tian was observing his light body technique and said: “I’m practising [Ruler Steps] for a light body technique. When I walk, it’ll always be in a straight line.”

“Then what happens when you need to attack?” Tang Tian asked curiously: “The opponent can easily defend against you!”

“That’s right. But the selling point of walking in a straight line is that the distance would be the shortest, and fastest. If you can practise the speed to the highest realm, then you won’t be afraid of the opponent knowing your intentions, as they will not be able to defend against you.” Jing Hao stated casually.

“Then how fast would that be!?” Tang Tian was shocked. It was logical that the straightest route would be the shortest route, but in martial techniques, attacking with straight routes was extremely rare, because it was easily seen through by the enemy. On battlefield, once your intentions were exposed, then it meant you were at disadvantage.

“Fast enough.” Jing Hao peeped at Tang Tian’s light body techniques. He frowned slightly and in his hands were many Spirit General cards: “There’s a few light body technique cards here. Take a look if you like any of them.”

There were four rank four Spirit General Cards, all of them silver grade. [Threading Wind Flowing Light], [Legendary Wings], [Eight Divinatory Steps], [Thousand Squandering Woods].

“[Threading Wind Flowing Light] focuses on speed, it is very suited for long arduous journeys. [Legendary Wings] flies at a pretty high altitude. If you incorporate it with other martial techniques, your strength will increase. [Eight Divinatory Steps] changes is very complex, it talks about changing position quickly, but it is very difficult to master. [Thousand Squandering Wood] is suitable for complex dodging and flying. They each have their own good points.” Jing Hao introduced.

Tang Tian thought and said: “I want [Eight Divinatory Steps].”

For a long journey, he had the Bronze Mechanical Ostrich. The other two light body techniques were not suited for his battle style. Only [Eight Divinatory Steps] was made for him as a Close Quarters Combat Expert.

Jing Hao did not ask further, and passed [Eight Divinatory Steps] to Tang Tian.

As they advanced, Jing Hao’s expression congealed as he took precautions. He held onto the sword around his waist.

Hiss!

All of a sudden, a ray of shadow flashed across in the darkness. Tang Tian’s heart jumped. He only sensed a gush of foul wind right in front of him. It was fast, and it came so quickly that he did not had the time to react.

A slight cold light was suddenly released in front of Tang Tian

A ball of black shadow was torn into two.

Jing Hao’s sword was back in his sheath.

Up till now, Tang Tian’s hair stood all of a sudden. His facial expression took a turn. If it was not for Jing Hao, he would be dead! He looked down at his feet with a lingering fear. The black shadow was torn apart into two and on its body hung two black wings.

“It’s the profound bats.” Jing Hao’s voice rang through Tang Tian’s ears: “Fifth level star spirit beasts are fast. If you look around, there should be a Spirit Nucleus.”

No wonder it was so terrifying. It was a fifth level star spirit beast!

Tang Tian was still slightly pale, but he calmed himself down and very quickly, he found the Spirit Nucleus of the profound bat. It was as big as a yellow bean, and shining black. When Tang Tian handed it over to Jing Hao, he shook his head and said: “For you, I have no use for it.”

Tang Tian heard and, without saying anything, kept it. Right up till now, he then realised how fast Jing Hao’s sword was.

He took in a deep breath, and his body armor appeared, the serene Blue Peacock. It did not emit light in the dark, and he tightened the gloves on his fists.

“Let’s go.” Without further ado, Jing Hao said and continued forward.

Tang Tian followed tightly, occasionally, he would scan the surroundings with precautions. He then lightly asked: “Are there many star spirit beasts?”

“Many.” Jing Hao said: “So from the start, I thought there were treasures here. Then I realised that there are too many star spirit beasts. This place is still fine, they’re basically all the lower levels ones. The deeper you go, the more powerful the star spirit beasts become. Even the masters from the Honourable Martial Group dared not go down. Nobody knows what hides beneath.”

Lower level…

Tang Tian was slightly depressed. He almost got killed by a low level star spirit beast…

He was lucky he had not met any scary things on the way. Suddenly, Tang Tian noted that not far away, there were about thirty oval pits of different sizes. The small ones were not wider than half a metre, while the bigger ones were greater than ten metres in width. Tang Tian could obviously sense the energy from the pits was thicker and denser than other places.

Noticing Tang Tian’s gaze, Jing Hao said: “That’s the energy pool.”

Without any intention of stopping, he continued forward.

Tang Tian felt slightly odd. Were those not energy pools? Tang Tian could see that naturally, these energy pools were no doubt the best place to cultivate True Power. Their thickness of energy was far beyond some of the places outside. If he was outside, and there was such a place, the towering figures would have already snatched it away. Only at such a dangerous and dark place like here, would no one dare to snatch them.

About an hour later, after endless twists and turns, Tang Tian was dizzy.

Suddenly, Jing Hao squeezed into a small crack. The crevice needed one to turn sideway to get in. There were many such cracks on the underground. Tang Tian hurried up.
