Tang Tian recovered his senses. He remembered the indigo flare that ignited in the horizon in the Indigo Mirror Ocean. How could the sea flare up like that? Where did the flame come from?

Suddenly, a voice echoed from above him.

“You useless garbage. You fail to even answer the first 100 questions. How could you ever master the Thousand Cleave Demonic Hand? Out of all my disciples, you are the slowest. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”

Tang Tian quickly opened his eyes and gazed at his surroundings. There was an elder with a white mane and a face full of rage.

This is…

Tang Tian opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

“You are not young any more. Continue to waste time and you will be a useless bum!” The old man still had rage within him, but he had relaxed his tone: “You are smart but lazy and not willing to put in the hard work for your goals. You might not have any responsibility in terms of managing the academy or have any roles in family matters. But if there was something that required you, what else can you do besides feel remorse?”

The old man left in disappointment.

Tang Tian was stunned by the senseless scolding, struck by that statement as he regained his consciousness. His state of mind was still in a mess as he continued to look around at his surroundings.

The room was decorated luxuriously, with expensive furniture placed around it.

Tang Tian spotted a thick book underneath the table. He walked towards it and flipped it open. It was a book called the Key to Hand Movements.

He suddenly thought of the words spoken by the old man. His passion was riled up. When the old man said that he couldn’t answer the 100 questions, was he referring to this?

He browse through the page he turned to. On it was written as “Question 91”. When he flipped to the last page, he gasped. 1024 questions!

Tang Tian was suspicious. Where was here? Who were these people?

He walked to the front of the room, wanting to push open the door to see what was outside. No matter how much strength he used, he could not push it open.

“Devil’s Gate!”

Tang Tian was stunned. He knew he had formidable strength. With the strength he exerted just now, the door should have been blasted wide open. But it didn’t even budge.

As he tried picking or moving the items around the room, he discovered that only the book could be moved. The others remained stationary. Could it be an illusion?

After wandering for half a day, he was starting to feel bored. He sat down and turned through the Key to Hand Movements

He was mesmerized by the book. It talked about the different methods to defeat a variety of attack styles. It was extremely mysterious.

Since Tang Tian specialized in close combat, this book could augment his power significantly. Tang Tian had experienced a lot of the attack moves explained in the book before. He discovered that his counterattack for these attacks were not much different from other fighters.

If he could utilized these methods explained in the book, he would have a great advantage on the battlefield.

Since he was unable to get out, he devoted himself to devouring the contents of the book.

Soon, Tang Tian was overwhelmed by the amount of knowledge.

It was easy to read, but to solve the questions, Tang Tian found it very challenging. Worse still, he couldn’t understand the context and contents of the questions. This book was more suitable for Crane, Tang Tian wondered.

Bang bang bang!

Someone was banging at the door. The doors then blew open. A teenager with a square face and big ears dashed into the room: “Ah Yu, I have been waiting for you for half of the day already, why haven’t you start moving? Move faster and bring the problems, let’s go!”

After finishing, the teenager turned around and dashed towards the door. Tang Tian took down the question and followed the teen out. He then found out that he was not in control of his body.

Hey hey hey, what was this all about?

Tang Tian discovered nothing came out of his mouth. Tang Tian was not intimidated by the weird nature of the circumstances.

Simple, this must be a dream!

What an interesting dream. This was the first time he was experiencing such a dream!

Tang Tian calmed himself down and followed closely behind the teen. But who was Ah Yu?

“Ah Yu, we will now go to the Thousand Spirit Cave for your training. You are so smart. You will definitely master the Thousand Cleave Demonic Hand!” The teen exclaimed.

Tang Tian felt gratified inside. Finally someone commended that he was smart! With this statement, he felt that the dream was all worth it.

Thousand Cleave Demonic Hand…This name sounded familiar…

Wait, isn’t that the unique card?

The 2 dashed towards their destination. The teenager in front had a strong Light Body technique. They soon arrived at a cave just behind the mountain. It was guarded by 2 martial artists.

The cave had the name “10,000 Meters Thousand Spirits” engraved on top of the opening.

Tang Tian was alert. The 2 guardians had strong auras around them, which were extremely cold.

The guardians recognized them and let them pass through.

Once inside the cave, the teen gave Tang Tian words of encouragement: “Ah Yu! You can do it! This time, you must pass 200 levels at one go! I will support you!”

The teenagers disappeared into the depth of the cave’s darkness.
