Chapter 240 – ThunderSnow

This time around, Tang Tian had to push himself beyond his own abilities.

Taking everything into account and reducing the time they would spend on the road, Tang Tian only had 7 days instead of 10, which seemed like an impossible task. Last year, the weapon Saber-Toothed Tiger had a structure that was simple and rigid, which Tang Tian felt was limited in its power. Furthermore, there were a lot of other martial techniques that Tang Tian had not learnt, and that was not talking about using a higher level mechanical weapon such as ThunderSnow.

Everyone knew that this was a near impossible task, but Tang Tian and Bing did not mutter a word.

With everything that they had done, any complaints would have been meaningless.

“If you had mastered the new mechanical weapon, you would have discovered that it is much better to use than saber-toothed tiger, because it is smarter. Thundersnow possesses a martial spirit in it. Though it is not very powerful, it is knowledgeable and quick thinking. Hence, the first thing you need to do is to communicate with it. For the new generation of mechanical weapons, communicating with the martial spirit residing within the weapon is crucial.The coordination between the spirit and you will determine the outcome of a battle.”

“You must take note that this mechanical weapon is something that is new to you, and it’s the same for the martial spirit who is a stranger to the user’s body. During these 7 days, you do not only need to learn how to use the mechanical weapon, but the martial spirit will also have to learn how to control your body.”

Bing stood up in a deadpan manner after finishing his explanation. Tang Tian, who was engrossed in the lecture by Bing, immediately raised his hand and asked, “Do you mean, the martial spirit is just like a newborn, leaning how to walk as well?”

“That is right!” Bing nodded his head, “No matter what former users the martial spirit had been with before, once the user is changed, the martial spirit would have to learn everything from scratch, that includes learning how to walk.”

Tang Tian frowned after listening and said, “It is okay that I am the only one learning but now the martial spirit also has to learn, what is the point?”

“Do not underestimate the spirit. You will definitely not learn faster than it. Since the spirit will be experiencing the movement of your body, once it is familiar with your style, it will learn much faster than you do.”

“How dare you look down on me!” Tang Tian stared at Bing with gaping eyes.

“After comparing, you will know what I mean,” Bing said confidently of ThunderSnow.

“Let’s compete then!” Tang Tian replied, before jumping into the pit that Bing has just dugg out.

Tang Tian turned his head over and stared down at Thundersnow.

Thundersnow’s head was a shade of ocean blue,roughly 2 metres in width and used a different style from a Southern Cross Army mechanical weapon, which was simple and plain. Instead, this mechanical weapon was made to look attractive because Sai Lei wanted it to be eye-catching to the audience in order to attract attention to this new weapon. The joints of the mechanical weapon were much slimmer and more agile, but on the inside, it used the Southern Army design of the internal bracket that enhanced the user’s defense.

The joints were like layers of blue fish scales lining up on top of each other, allowing the user greater flexibility and mobility in its movement. As for the parts of the weapon covering the limbs, the material used was a strong metal that has been repeatedly forged within the fire, which augmented the strength of the weapon. The constant forging of the metal created wave-like patterns on its surface. ……..

The armour at the shoulder area was different from a normal mechanical weapon in that it was forged into a compact and circular armor which granted the user greater mobility.

With one look, Thundersnow was like a well built statured man in steel with no excess flesh on him, even when standing there quietly, it still released an aura that many would fear!

“Hey, Thundersnow!” Tang Tian shouted, “Let’s have a serious battle!”

Thundersnow suddenly let out a flash of bright blue radiance from its dark blue eyes.

All of a sudden, Thundersnow crouched down right in front of Tang Tian like a drawn bow with all its accumulated power, waiting to strike. Tang Tian backed down slightly, anticipating the amount of strike force that Thundersnow could unleash.

Thundersnow unleashed its power by pushing down its steel hind legs!

The force was so strong that it created a sole imprint on the solid rock ground. The ground around Sai Lei’s place was a specially made steel that was rock solid. But Thundersnow was able to create an imprint on the solid ground, as if it the ground was made of a block of wood shavings.

So much power!

Tang Tian was shocked by the immense showcase of power.

As Thundersnow pushed harder down with its hind legs, cracking the steel floor beneath it. Tang Tian was in awe.

Such a perfect combination of rhythm and strength. What came next was a blue shadow that flashed past like a strike of thunder across the room.

Blue lightning! Let’s go!

That’s right! That’s the way!

Tang Tian was overwhelmed with excitement!

Bang! Clang!

The sound of metals clashing together was reverberating. The steel ground below their feet was rippling uncontrollably,nearly lifting Tang Tian off the ground. The dust that was sent flying around the room engulfed Tang Tian.

After a moment when the dust had settled, Tang Tian could be seen standing still in the room, looking dumbfounded.

In front of Tang Tian were 2 blue-coloured metallic legs perched on the ground. Because of the immense force from Thundersnow, its lower body was pushed deep into the steel ground.

“Oh!” Bing exclaimed as he placed his hand on his forehead and could not bear to look at Tang Tian.

Suddenly, Bing had an unexplainable feeling. An unreliable mechanical martial artist pairing up with an unreliable mechanical weapon was hard for him to imagine.

He hesitated for a moment and had a thought.

But that thought disappeared as fast as it came to his mind.

Thundersnow’s lower body was entrenched deep into the ground. No matter how hard it struggled, it was unable to free itself.

Tang Tian and Bing exhausted their energy before managing to pull Thundersnow out of the ground.

“It’s over,” Tang Tian muttered. “This martial spirit’s IQ is not very high to begin with. After such a strong impact just now, will it have any IQ left?”

“Don’t worry. Maybe it is just a ‘foolish scallion,’” Bing said with a shrug.

“What is a “foolish scallion’?” Tang Tian asked.

“It just means when 2 people who are foolish enough meet, they just might become smart!” Bing explained.
