Immortal Martial.
Countless bronze mirrors were placed in the large hall. Every mirror was the size of a basin and was placed on top of a frame with the height of a grown man. Every frame had a number, from one to ten thousand. Every mirror was facing the centre of the hall, forming a circular formation.
The tons of mirrors formed into ten thousand dimensions.
Right in the middle of the formation, there was a three metre tall large mirror embedded on the dome of the hall. This large mirror was one of the treasure that the Immortal Martial possessed, called the Reflective Martial Copper Mirror.
Spheres of radiance orbited around the surface of Reflective Martial Copper Mirror. The Mirror radiated rays of bright light. Every ray landed on a bronze mirror that circulated the hall. Then, a name would appear on the surface on the bronze mirror. You could see countless Immortal Martial Disciples drifting back and forth across the mirror formation.
The sound of chatter among the Immortal Martial Disciples rose and fell in succession. It was a mess within the hall.
Number 9928, Fire Crow Executioner, Guo Dong, fell to his demise.
Number 9736, Five Hitmen Squad leader, King Qilin, fell to his demise.
Number 9814, Five Hitmen Squad member, Cavalry, fell to his demise.
Number 9867, Five Hitmen Squad member, Python Blade,fell to his demise.
Number 9889, Five Hitmen Squad member, Old Croc, fell to his demise.
Number 9903, Five Hitmen Squad member, Arctic Fox, fell to his demise.
“Oh my! What is happening? Everyone in the Five Hitmen Squad is now dead?”
“Could it be a war has been waged? Is a war ongoing? Why are so many martial artists on the Heaven Road’s List dead?”
“No, I haven’t finish saying those who are dead!!”
A member blared out: “Numer 9854, Scarecrow Mu Zi, fell to his demise.”
In one month, 7 members of the Heaven Road’s List were dead. When was the last time that happened?
Suddenly, a member suddenly saw the front of its mirror and was left stunned, “Wait a minute! Number 9637, Tang Tian. Where did this guy come from…”
The hall was now dead silent.
The New Army Camp.
The Spirit General standing in front of Tang Tian had a masculine structure and was taller than him by the length of a head. The General looked tall and steady,similar to Ah Mo Li, and had a solemn expression. He had a retro bowl-shaped hair that seemed to float in mid air. He was wielding a scary looking Zanbato.
(Let 斩马刀 be called Zanbato – it is a long single bladed sword with a long handle used to slay calvaries)
Tang Tian mouth was gaping wide as he looked on in amazement at the fierce looking Spirit General. He then said, “Tang Yi? Staff Sergeant?”
Bing replied, “You are the owner of this encampment. Hence, all the Spirit Generals conceived on this encampment are named Tang. Staff Sergeant is his rank. If only he could swallow 3 more cards, that would have been much better.”
“Why?” Tang Tian asked.
“If he had devouredmore cards, he would have risen by a rank, to a Master Sergeant. His strength would have been more formidable.” Bing explained: “However, his current strength is not weak either. He is now a Gold Ranked Staff Sergeant!”
Bing was taken by surprise, “The willpower of the Ghost Claw, as expected, he was definitely valiant.”
“Gold Ranked Staff Sergeant?” Tang Tian asked.
“Yes. If you notice his neck, there is an insignia of the Southern Cross Constellation, which is gold in colour. It is rare to see a Gold Ranked Staff Sergeant. They are much stronger than the average Staff Sergeants you see. The encampment has changed drastically. There are a lot of places that I am not familiar with. You can test his strength to see how formidable he is.
At the Testing Ground.
“He is indeed powerful!” Tang Tian eyes sparkled. With each wave of his weapon, Tang Yi unleashed the sound of thunder. His power is formidable.
“He is not bad.” Bing nodded. “His power should be around that of a Rank 8. Although he is not very bright, but he has a staunch willpower and also specializes in a formidable grandmaster grade martial technique. This is why he’s a Gold Ranked Staff Sergeant.”
“Why is it a sword technique?” Tang Tian asked, “Since I practice claw techniques instead.”
“When the 16 devoured Spirit Cards combined together, no one could know what the martial technique that will be conceived would be.” Bing explained: “Hence, not a lot of people would have done the way you did it because the chances of obtaining the power of a Spirit Card that suits you is very low. We do not lack Spirit Generals and that should be good news to you. To have Tang Yi at your side, I am definitely relaxed. To possess a grandmaster grade sword technique and in the realms of the rank of eight, he is much more skillful than you. In addition, you will never need to doubt his loyalty to you.
“That is good!” Tang Tian said in excitement.
“Let’s not waste time. We should rush to Southern Cross Constellation,” Bing shouted. “Leave Three Spirits City to me.”
“Sure!” Tang Tian nodded fervently.
Tang Tian discovered that he did not need to go to a shop to find Purple Gold Grade Spirit Cards. There were people residing in the Honorable Martial Group that were selling them. They accepted Star Coins too. Tang Tian bought 2 Spirit Cards, one was the [Air Shield Strike technique], the other was the [Wind Concealment] technique.
These two Purple Gold Ranked Spirit Cards costed Tang Tian 500 million.
Both cards were peripheral martial techniques. Shield Type Techniques were normally peripheral in nature since only people from the Scutum Constellation practiced them. As for the Wind Concealment, it was an effective technique that helped control your breathing, and its output was extremely good, but it exhausted True Power very quickly. It was normally not recommended for those Ranked 6 and below to use it. As a person increased in rank, he would be able to master a better and a larger variety of Martial Techniques.
500 million worth of Purple Gold Grade Spirit Cards is certainly not cheap. But to Tang Tian, these two cards are suited for him. He wielded the Blood Rush Shield, which was a large killing weapon but had no knowledge in shield type techniques.The Air Shield Strike technique should help him with that. The Wind Concealment technique was also what Tang Tian needed.
