Chapter 095 – Enemy (2/2)
“How many times do you need me to remind you? Staining Fall!”
…
After lecturing for a while, Bing seemed to be exhausted. He stopped.
Floating in mid air, he watched Tang Tian as he struggled in pain. He regained his poker face as his eyes fell flat on the boy in a sorry state. Although Tang Tian’s performance was not impressive, Bing was expecting a lot.
Any recruit, when they stepped into The Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures, had a standard of the sixth level.
Tang Tian was the first to enter The Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures at the fourth level.
Young lad, all the best!

When Jing Hao woke up to see the bruised Tang Tian, he was shocked: “Bro Tang, what exactly happened to you?”
Tang Tian’s eyelids twitched. It was a pity, his eyes were swollen badly. He could not even see, though he smiled forcefully: “Ah, when I was cultivating, I accidentally overdid it.”
During the ten days in the Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures, he completely had no recollection of how much he had taken a beating. He felt it to be a miracle that he was still alive. As there were too many bruises and injuries on his body, even the bamboo leaf queen bee’s adhesive did not manage to remove them all. As such, when Tang Tian appeared in front of Jing Hao, he was completely bruised.
“Overdid it?” Jing Hao was confused. He could not imagine how much was overdone to be able to land himself in such a state. But Jing Hao was a crude man. He did not like being a busybody, so he did not asked much. He merely asked: “Then, does Bro Tang still want to spar?”
Tang Tian clenched his teeth: “Come on!”
This time, Jing Hao could sense that Tang Tian was different.
Previously, although Jing Hao felt that Tang Tian’s defense was thorny, he ultimately managed to suppress Tang Tian. Both of them were like rehearsing for an attack and defense show. Jing Hao was the one who attacked, while Tang Tian was the one who defended. The entire process, Tang Tian only seemed to focus on defending, with no intention of attacking at all.
But today, Tang Tian was different. He still was in a state of defending, but his defense had a strong intention of retaliating. Although Tang Tian’s retaliations were always disrupted, Jing Hao was shocked at his improvements.
In such a short night, Tang Tian had such tremendous improvements!
Jing Hao was curious, so he gave it his all.
Tang Tian only felt a steep increase in stress. But compared to the Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures, this was a huge difference. At the Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures, he could not do anything but struggle. But when he faced Jing Hao, he was not afraid. Even when Jing Hao was exploding, Tang Tian still did not collapse.
For ten continuous days of hardship and torture, Tang Tian was starting to get used to retaliating. Although he was still far from mastery, it was enough to make Jing Hao not underestimate him.
The last round of sparring was longer than the previous one. Tang Tian tolerated a whole twenty minutes before he collapsed.
[Robin: This was slightly confusing to me, basically, while they spar for a whole day, they don’t do it “nonstop”. They do like many many “rounds” of sparring, and those rounds didn’t usually last twenty minutes, which is why it’s impressive that TT lasted for so long :)]
Jing Hao’s qi was slightly chaotic as he was shocked. Previously, although he would sense fatigue too, this time, his fatigue levels were way higher than the last time.
This rascal… was more than what he seemed…
Tang Tian still bared his teeth and looked energetic.
Noticing Tang Tian was looking at him, Jing Hao spat out a word to take out Tang Tian’s intention to battle: “Meditate!”
Then, he looked at Tang Tian who started meditating unwillingly, before Jing Hao let a sigh of relief. In terms of Tang Tian’s clinginess, he still had fears. This rascal was a living pervert who seemed to not know of fatigue.
The two started meditating to recover. An hour later, Tang Tian, who was completely recovered, jumped up first.
Tang Tian was preparing to ask for another round when suddenly, there were sounds of people from the outside. He exclaimed in surprise: “There’s someone!”
At the same time, Jing Hao opened his eyes, stood up, his expression changed, traces of killing intent appeared on his face, he said softly: “Prepare to fight.”
“Fight?” Tang Tian’s eyes suddenly grew big.
“It is not our people. Our camp people, I’m only afraid….” Jing Hao did not finish, the killing intent on his face grew even heavier, quietly flying towards the crack.
Tang Tian was surprised, but when he understood, his face became serious, and without hesitation he followed Jing Hao closely.
The camp people….
Sounds of a group of people came from outside the crack.
“I thought that the fellows from the Honorable Martial Group were supposed to have some skills? Their standards were shit!”
“Only the baldie was considered to be a tough bone.”
“No matter how tough the bone, they still get broken by Brother Qiang!”
“Haha!”
…..
Killing intent appeared in Jing Hao’s eyes in the crack.
These words travelled to Tang Tian’s ears as well.
The young lads at the camp did not interact much with him. Tang Tian could not even name them. The only one he was familiar with was the one he had beaten up, Baldie Biao Ge. And even so, Baldie Biao Ge did not interact much with Tang Tian either. The only one that left a deep impression on Tang Tian was the incident of Green Sandal-Arm Ape. Although baldie was full of fear, he still came over to help him with the corpse.
This led Tang Tian to realise and feel that Baldie Biao Ge was actually not bad.
But…
“…It might be tough to come here, but you can enjoy being treated as an Iron Ranked Martial Artist. Your family members are well taken care of, too. Anyway, my talents are very bad, my future is bleak. It’s enough that my family can benefit from it…”
Baldie’s calm and satisfied face appeared in Tang Tian’s mind.
Tang Tian’s fists quickly tightened.
