Chapter 085 – An Impossible Sprint

The Saber-Toothed Tiger’s movements were super agile. Although it was heavy, it landed on the ground soundlessly just like how a tiger would pounce on its prey without a sound. Bing had no intention to hide as he continuously guided Tang Tian with tips. Tang Tian seemed to have an outstanding talent in the usage of mechanical weapons, as Bing only seemed to guide him a little and he could get a hang of it almost immediately. This shocked Bing.

If he had a recruit like him during those days…

He shook his head and threw this thought to the back of his mind. The generation was no longer the same. Mechanical weapons were destined to be eliminated as ancient objects. The more time he spent on it, the harder he would fall.

Bing’s astounding experiences gave him the ability to identify any weakness in the defence right away. Tang Tian did not attract any attention to him as he walked around stealthily. As he got deeper, Tang Tian was surprised. He asked: “Uncle, how come they they have so many mechanisms here?”

Bing moaned: “How is this considered a mechanism?”

Although he did not reveal any weakness in his words, Bing was feeling the same way in his heart. The two dodged one mechanism after another. The number of mechanisms they had met made him suspect that he was back to his own generation. It was good that these mechanisms were obviously not quite the same as his era’s.

The opponent was good at mechanics.

This judgement made Bing focused. He dared not delay. Tang Tian and Bing were limited in their understanding towards the experts in Three Spirit City. Where the Lin Family came from, it was unclear.

It seemed like things were not as simple as it seemed….and…

Bing looked at those bronze mechanics in disdain. He could almost see that the opponent was obviously trying to mimic traces of the Southern Cross Army encampment. If others saw it, they might think it was the tradition of the Lin Family, but in the eyes of Bing, there were so many mistakes. The most important thing was that Bing was egoistic. In a moment, he was agitated.

He intended for Tang Tian to lose this battle, but now that he saw the Southern Cross Army Encampment style’s bronze mechanics, a sense of motivation was ignited within him.

-How could we lose to such lousy bronze machines!

Bing’s eyes lit up. He calmed himself down. The Southern Cross Army Encampment was destroyed. It was meaningless to fight for this. Tang Tian was the future. If there was still a Southern Cross Army Encampment, then the future of the army would be in the hands of Tang Tian.

Tang Tian’s growth was more important than anything else.

As an instructor, Bing was clear, the growth of a soldier or the compulsion to win as a soldier, which was more important.

Bing’s gaze calmed down after awhile.

Concealed in a corner, Tang Tian watched four hundred metres around him attentively, the people around Kong You Lin, entered a serene ‘old folks’ home.

“Young man, do you see that place with that patch of grey?” Bing suddenly asked.

Following Bing’s point, Tang Tian noticed that on one corner of the wall around the old folks home, was a piece of ash colored lime rock: “That bend?”

“That’s right!” Bing said: “This place has strict and tight security, you won’t have a lot of chances. If you can run 432 metres under eight seconds, you can escape those bronze machine’s line of sight. That is the dead corner, if you enter it, the number of choices of your attacks, will increase even more.”

“Eight seconds….” Tang Tian was stumped.

“That’s right, eight seconds, to break through a distance of 432 metres, that already exceeds 50 metres per second, the only thing is that the greatest speed achieved with rank three light body arts, does not exceed forty metres per second. Only rank four light body arts could achieve such a speed.” Bing was calm and analytical: “Your Eight Steps Overtaking Cicada, even adding on the amplification of the Saber-Toothed Tiger, the chances of it happening can only exist in theory.”

“In theory? Means it can be achieved in reality too right?” Tang Tian immediately understood Bing’s words.

“That’s right. In theory, if your Eight Steps Overtaking Cicada is performed to perfection, and if your standard of utilising the Saber-Toothed Tiger is equally perfect, then you have the possibility of reaching this goal.” Bing shook his head: “But that is impossible. Although your Eight Steps Overtaking Cicada is good, the duration in which you’ve used the Saber-Toothed Tiger is so limited, you did not experience training with the manual, you’re basically clueless on sprinting short distance with it.”

“Is sprinting short distance very difficult?”

“In theory it is easy, but you have to go through long periods of training to attain a higher standard of use.” Bing explained.

“Then let us begin right now.” Tang Tian quickly said.

“Begin what?” Bing was confused.

“Begin teaching now! Hurry hurry! If you dilly dally more, I won’t even be able to see that asshole’s shadow anymore!” Tang Tian urged.

“Doing things at the last minute will not gain you anything…” Bing shook his head, he felt that Tang Tian’s suggestion was simply a joke. If one of his old recruits under him suggested such an idea, he would not hesitate and lock them up in detention.

Those who do not place importance in training, look down on training, deserve to be locked up in detention!

Tang Tian cut him off: “This is called practical training, hurry, old man, stop bullshitting, this godlike young man is very anxious.”

Very anxious…..

Bing resisted the urge to slap his face, his expression was so ugly as he once again explained the short distance sprint one more time.

“As expected, it sounds simple enough.”
