Chapter 126 – Star Spirit Snake (2/2)

Tang Tian felt his vision went blurry as it was completely blocked by the gigantic snake. His heart skipped a beat as he scurried off for shelter.

Bang!

A gush of spectacular energy came through as he flew out.

In the past, if Tang Tan saw such a situation, he would most probably be lost. But within the Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures, he was at a disadvantage, he had received beatings, et cetera, and that was normal. So now, the most important thing was not to give his opponent an opportunity to attack continuously.

Tang Tian, who was in mid air, lowered himself forcefully to stabilise his body. From the corners of his eyes, he saw the huge devouring mouth of the Star Spirit Snake. Like a catastrophe, it was coming right at him.

It came through as fast as a lightning. Almost in the blink of an eye, and it was standing in front of Tang Tian.

The big, blooded and fishy smelling mouth pounced towards Tang Tian.

Idiot!

Tang Tian smirked all of a sudden. Halfway through in mid air, he cruised along to the snake’s mouth and forced himself to lower his body and brandish his fist.

Ripples of waves came through as the fist flew right into the Star Spirit Snake’s mouth.

Swoosh!

All the ripples gathered rapidly to form a transparent light ball without a sound at the mouth of the snake. And was swallowed down.

In mid air, the Star Spirit Snake’s body started deflating without any warning. The Star Spirit Snake’s eyes constricted and froze!

“Peacock!”

With a bellow, Tang Tian crossed his arms in front of him. With an armour so glimmering, a layer of faded blue light emerged.

Bang!

With the inertia, the Star Spirit Snake rammed itself against the ray of blue light that enveloped Tang Tian’s body.

Tang Tian’s vision turned black, and at a very fast speed, he fell backwards.

He flew for about ten metres, before crashing into the floor. After a moment, Tang Tian climbed up slowly. He felt an excruciating pain in both arms as if they were broken.

“This rascal indeed does have a few things up his sleeves.”

Tang Tian held onto both his arms and felt better. After that fall, the Star Spirit Snake seemed exhausted. Tang Tian’s armour radiance seemed dull.

But after eyeing the motionless Star Spirit Snake, he sighed a breath of relief.

If it were not for the Star Spirit Snake’s last strike, it would not have been an easy task to break its defence, for it had a layer of scales.

Although the ripples were getting stronger, it was effective in this aspect. On the contrary, it was not as powerful as the Crane Body. Of course, Tang Tian’s crane power could not get any higher. When it met a stronger enemy, its effect would be smaller.

The vacuum ball exploded in the soft belly of the snake. The rascal’s body was probably being churned into powder.

He walked to the Star Spirit Snake slowly and carefully. But the Star Spirit Snake was not moving even an inch, it was completely lifeless.

This was the first Star Spirit Beast Tang Tian had killed.

Yaya jumped happily and ran over, and when it saw the Star Spirit Snake’s dead body laying there, its eyes lit up. It raised the little bow in its hands and started using the bowstring as a knife to cut up the Star Spirit Snake.

It was fast, and Tang Tian looked on in a daze.

Bing then floated out, rolling his eyes. He had a nonchalant expression: “Although bud spirit generals have a low rank, they are extremely capable. You should pass it the spirit nucleus later, it can get stronger by swallowing the spirit nucleus.”

“Sixth level spirit nucleus!” Tang Tian’s face was in pain.

He realised how poor he was, as most of the things he accumulated were given away. Now, he could only buy things via star rocks and spirit nuclei. Even if Uncle Qian gave him several star rocks, the Shangguan Clan ultimately had only just gotten themselves out of troubles, and must be financially limited too.

“These spirit nuclei will blend together with the ancient martial spirits. It is not pure enough, and we won’t get a good price for it.” Bing explained: “But to Yaya, it is a good product. I remember there was a rascal in the army who mastered keeping such spirit nuclei to feed his bud spirit general. After that, his bud spirit general became super strong.”

“Then, we can’t feed on them, the ancient martial spirit pieces, directly?” Tang Tian asked.

“It seems possible after that, but the bud spirit general must have a certain level of strength before it can do it.” Bing reminiscenced, he was slightly unsure.

“Alright.” Tang Tian shouted towards Yaya: “I’ll leave the spirit nucleus to you, the others belong to me!”

Yaya shouted in joy and started working on it vigorously.

“I wonder how much the leftovers can sell for?” Tang Tian caressed his chin, full of expectancy.

“Do you still have energy to battle?” Bing mocked.

Tang Tian smiled and answered honestly: “I’ll need to rest a day.”

Although the battle was short, it was extreme. His body was aching badly.

“First, sell all those things away.” Bing said: “Since the base is here, you can rest in peace.”

Tang Tian sighed, and sat down to meditate on the battle.

Real life battles and training would never be the same. No matter how extreme it was facing the Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures, it still could not be compared to a real battle. In battles, once he was slightly distracted, he could lose his life.

There was nothing more threatening than death that would make people so focused. No other type of improvement worked as well as life or death fights.

Growing from battles, the results were endless.

In Tang Tian’s eyes, his will to fight rose.

Once he recovered, Tang Tian went back to Three Spirits City, and walked into a random ingredients shop.

“Do you buy Star Spirit Beasts?” Tang Tian asked.

The man heard and studied Tang Tian. His pupils constricted. Tang Tian’s body was still reeking of the Star Spirit Snake’s qi. The man knew he was something incredible, and hurriedly said: “Yup, of course we do. I wonder which level of Star Spirit Beast you managed to hunt?”

“Sixth level, Star Spirit Snake.” Tang Tian did not waste any time bullshitting, and immediately took out all parts of the Star Spirit Snake.

The rascal looked in admiration and said respectfully: “Give me a moment, I will bring in the shopkeeper right away!”
