“Aries Star Spear?” Tang Tian was immediately curious: “It sounds amazing.”

“Mmhmm, it is.” Bing muttered: “I don’t know how it is now, but during my time, it was the strongest martial technique in the Aries Constellation. It was very famous. I never thought it would be passed down to this generation. As for us, the legacy of the Southern Cross Army has been completely destroyed.”

“Not yet.” Tang Tian was confused: “Aren’t there’s still you and I?”

Tang Tian suddenly saw the light and said unfriendly: “Unless, Uncle you’re actually not teaching me the real, legitimate teachings of the Southern Cross Army?”

“You’re such a shitty child. You haven’t even passed the recruit training camp and you want to learn the teachings!” Bing mocked, but in his heart, he was comforted. Yet he still replied: “But since I’m alive, the Southern Cross Army is destined to be glorious. Heh, seems like you need to buck up or else, if you compete with this Aries boy and lose to him, I’d be embarrassed!”

Buck up?

Tang Tian turned pale. He was still traumatised by the scene where his buttocks were being bitten. Several Bone Gnawing Wolves chasing after him appeared in his mind, and suddenly, he felt chills down his spine. His buttocks were still aching.

“Don’t belittle me!” Tang Tian said firmly: “How can I be defeated by this bastard? I’m his big boss!”

“This rascal is not like any ordinary person.” Bing suddenly said gratefully: “The Aries Star Spear is very unique. It is famous for its tough training. He used his spear with a strong spiralling energy. For attacking, it has an astonishing wrecking power. As for defense, it could remove the enemies’ energy. Look at him, he can attack with his spear 30 times in a second. Mhmm, look at the way he did it, it was all done with his fingers.”

“Huh?” Tang Tian was slightly surprised to hear compliments coming from Bing. It was the first time. But looking at Ling Xu’s focus, Tang Tian could not help but nod: “This rascal is indeed very strong. The way he releases strength is very unique. He uses the friction between his fingers and the spear. It is my first time witnessing this.”

“The last time I saw the Aries Star Spear technique, they didn’t release strength like this. This is a new creation.” Bing muttered: “Such a strength releasing technique is faster and covert. No one would be able to predict or catch it. Also, the movements are very small, so he could pull his spear faster. It is very apt for the star sea. However, the requirements for finger strength are beyond what anyone can imagine. The strength of the fingers are of course much smaller than usual strength releasing techniques.”

“That is awesome!” Tang Tian understood the profoundness of releasing strength. Although he did not understand the mystery, he could estimate how strong a finger must be to produce such strength: “His finger strength has to be at least stronger than usual martial artists by forty times or more.”

The conclusion Tang Tian came to shocked himself.

Forty times stronger than a normal martial artist. Such strength still could not be compared with his arms’ strength, but it was already impressive. As for another aspect, this weird strength releasing technique minimised the movements necessary to attack, making it harder to predict his spear movements as they could be very sudden. Instantly, the wounding power of this weapon was much higher.

The shorter the time he used to pull his spear, the denser and sturdier the star sea Ling Xu made became.

The engrossed Ling Xu finally stopped.

He was drenched in his own sweat. Panting, he noticed Tang Tian from the corners of his eyes

“Hey, Little Xu Xu, you’re pretty darn good at your Aries Star Spear training.” Tang Tian giggled and walked over.

“Aries Star Spear?” Ling Xu was stunned, he muttered: “You’re wrong. It’s called Pointed Sea Spear.”

“Pointed Sea Spear?” Tang Tian was surprised.

“Unless it changed its name?” Bing was slightly dumbfounded too.

After thousand of years of changes, it was nothing shocking that a martial technique had changed its name. Tang Tian and Bing did not mind.

Anyway, it was the Aries Star Spear in their eyes.

“Pointed Sea Spear it shall be. Are you done with practising?” Tang Tian jumped: “let’s spar!”

“I’m not done.” Ling Xu could not be bothered with Tang Tian. He walked to a corner and started meditating.

Tang Tian stood dumbfounded. His eyes wide opened and a face of unhappiness: “Hey…”

Suddenly, a silhouette intruded: “Ah Tian!”

“Ah Xue.” Tang Tian took a second look and was shocked: “How are you having time now? Aren’t you very busy?”

“I’m done. Everything’s well prepared. I can finally relax.” Gu Xue said smiling: “Oh yes, the name has been reported. The Training Trial for the Starry Door will be held in two months. You have an extra month for yourself to practise. There’s more than enough time!”

“Great!” Tang Tian was overjoyed: “Thank you!”

“If you want to thank me, then accompany me for the day,” Gu Xue said generously: “it’s rare that I have time to rest. Let’s head out for a walk, and relieve our boredom. I have to burden this godlike young man to protect me, at the same time let my guards have a break for a while.”

“Okay!” Tang Tian agreed carefreely. Gu Xue seldom had any requests. It was not an unruly request. The Black Mountain City had been in chaos. With Ling Xu and him there, no one dared to make a move on the Gu Family. But Gu Xue’s safety was still posing a huge problem.

“That’s great!” Gu Xue’s pretty face lit up in a moment. She jumped in joy: “Let’s go! Don’t let time go to waste!”

Seeing Gu Xue jumping around like a little girl, Tang Tian remembered how this patriarch of Gu Family was actually just a little girl!
