Tang Tian was stunned. The person in the mirror was so foreign and that indifferent aura was a first for him. After a while, that spot of pinpoint silver in his black pupils vanished, quietly, unknowingly, along with the indifferent aura.
That must be an illusion!
Tang Tian was extremely certain, this godlike young man, was a true-blue warm blooded man! Tang Tian faced the mirror and broke into a smile, revealing his snowy-white teeth, along with a warm radiant smile.
Tang Tian very quickly pushed this question to the back of his mind. The strengthened martial spirit enhanced his intuition. His sixth sense became more astute, and the surrounding world seemed to be more intricate.
Tang Tian needed time to adapt to these changes.
“ThunderSnow, let’s test it out!”
The moment Tang Tian started to control ThunderSnow, he noticed an immense difference. ThunderSnow seemed to have better understanding all of a sudden, and became much smarter. Previously, when Tang Tian gave an order, ThunderSnow would always be somewhat hesitant. Although under his constant encouragement, these hesitations were greatly reduced, but they still existed.
Now, Tang Tian did not feel any hesitation or pauses. ThunderSnow would react almost immediately on his thoughts.
Thundersnow became more precise and smart.
What made Tang Tian truly surprised was the familiarity of ThunderSnow with the three types of martial techniques – [Tan Tui], [Great Monument Palm] and [Scattering Vortex]. What was even more surprising was that it could even execute the killing techniques.
Could it be that when he used his spirit flame to cultivate Thundersnow, his understanding of these three types of martial techniques were also absorbed by Thundersnow?
Tang Tian thought for a long while. Still uncertain, he simply asked Thundersnow directly, “Thundersnow, was it so?”
“Yes… … yes.”
An unfamiliar and rough voice rang in Tang Tian’s heart. Tang Tian’s eyes instantly rounded. Stunned, it took him moments before he regained his senses, and was instantly overwhelmed with excitement, “Thundersnow, was that you? Was that you speaking just now?”
“Yes.” ThunderSnow’s voice was much clearer than before, “Tang Tian, I’m Thundersnow.”
Thundersnow’s voice was like a shy little boy.
“Wow wow wow! ThunderSnow can speak now!” Tang Tian almost jumped for joy, his eyes shining “I’m going to get more spirit nuclei, Thundersnow, so you can become even stronger!”
“Please don’t.” ThunderSnows reply made Tang Tian stunned. “I have reached the limit that the Corvus Gold can endure, thus my martial spirit cannot be strengthened further.”
Realization then hit Tang Tian, and he was somewhat baffled, “Then I have to ask Sai Lei about this.”
“Please make full use of this time to practise.” Thundersnow reminded Tang Tian in his shy voice, “I’m not strong enough, so I only chose three of your martial spirit’s martial techniques to learn, we still need other techniques. Please do not relax.”
“Little Thundersnow, you’re right!” Tang Tian said seriously, “There are still three days left to the main competition. We have to train hard! Thunder and Snow team, go go go!”
Thundersnow rebutted weakly, “Please don’t do this. Snow is a female name… …”
“Aiya, little Thundersnow, don’t be so rigid for a martial spirit. After all after this competition, I won’t use it anymore.” Tang Tian said without a care.
“But… …”
“Don’t waste anymore time! Practice!”
Tang Tian was immersed in his practice.
As time went by, he had a better understanding of mechanical weapons. Mechanical weapons and Treasures were totally different. Treasures innately contain energy, and martial artists merely trigger the release of these energies. Whereas mechanical weapons by themselves possess no energy, and their use was to maximise the martial artist’s power.
The martial spirits of mechanical weapons and treasures had entirely different uses as well.
The martial spirit of a mechanical weapon was the axis between the martial artist and mechanical weapon. It was used to filter the True Power that the martial artist poured into the mechanical weapon, enhancing the True Power before releasing it in the form of martial techniques. It acted like the brain of the mechanical weapon.
On the other hand, the martial spirit of Treasures was the core of the Treasure. It would slowly absorb energy and store it in the Treasure. This method was similar to the cultivation of a martial artist.
But regardless of whether it was for mechanical weapons or Treasures, the importance of martial spirits was needless to say.
These realizations and gains were extremely insightful for Tang Tian.
While Tang Tian and Thundersnow were absorbed in their training, suddenly, a loud commotion came from outside the door, and Sai Lei’s angry roars could vaguely be heard.
Tang Tian stopped. With a cold face, he controlled ThunderSnow and rushed out.
Upon rushing to the entrance of the yard, Sai Lei’s rants could be heard.
“We have already rented this house, with the money paid and the contract signed. What right do you have to demand us to give it up to you?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Tian roughly understood what was going on as he walked out.
A number of mechanical weapons surrounded the door, and a weasel-looking fellow coldly snorted, “Contract? We have a copy of the contract too. Paid? We have paid too. Why? I want this land, give it up if you know what’s good for you, or else, heh heh!”
The bickering between both parties attracted multiple onlookers. Most people recognized these fellows. They were the local leaders of Ink City, and the man who was speaking was Mo Liu. In the Ink City, those whose surnames were Mo would always have some connection with the Mo Family, and Mo Liu was the local leader of this street. He would always get into dirty businesses, but since the Mo Family left him unrestrained, he became the local tyrant.

Some kind-hearted people advised Sai Lei, “Little girl, take a step back. Don’t stoop to the same level as these fellows.”
Sai Lei had never experienced such matters, and was almost at the point of bursting into tears.
Mo Liu was extremely proud. He looked at Sai Lei, and his eyes flashed a look of greed. He licked his lips, “Open your eyes wide, this is my turf! But I see that you seemed rather good-looking, heh heh… …”
Suddenly, a blue shadow flashed before the crowd.
Bang!
