The dense and heavy bronze door slowly opened. A martial artist donning his armor and wielding his blade stood sternly behind the door.
Xue Li and Ah Ji Ge were startled.
The eyes that seemed to be filled with killing intent, pierced into their hearts, causing an unspeakable sense of danger to envelope them.
Xue Li"s mind trembled, like a frightened cat, she screamed, and then shot out, like a bolt of lightning, she pounced towards Tang Yi. Ah Ji Ge"s mind also shook, the eyes that stared at them were filled with a dense killing intent he had never seen before. Holding the gigantic broadsword, all the distracting thoughts disappeared, his expression became gloomy, dragging the sword on the ground, he took big strides forward.
The blade of the sword dragged on the ground causing sparks to ignite from friction.
He instigated his True Power, causing his entire body to become bright, with the gigantic broadsword being the brightest. His upper body did not move, only taking heavy large strides, filled with offensive power, every step he took actually caused his might to increase further!
Xue Li who was in the air suddenly had a cold glint in her eyes, shua, her figure suddenly became a blur, and she disappeared in mid air.
She could actually further increase her speed!
Tang Yi waved his blade to block, without panicking.
Dang!
The dagger struck the zanbato"s body, and an extremely sharp True Power, like a steel needle, pierced into it.
Xue Li revealed a trace of joy.
[Destructive Tail Needle], one of her killing techniques. It was a sharp True Power which was extremely condensed, 100 times harder than gold, and much more durable. It was usually kept docile in her meridians, being tempered and saturated every day.
It was a silent move, but extremely deadly. Countless opponents of hers had died under this technique without knowing, and there was once a Gold Ranked Martial Artist that had a hole pierced into his body from the Destructive Tail Needle.
Her light body technique was outstanding, she could speed up and cut corners at will, adding with her [Destructive Tail Needle], she was practically invincible.
But at that moment, her expression was frozen.
The Destructive Tail Needle was like a cow charging into the sea, there was no reaction.
Tang Yi flicked his wrist, causing an abundant resistive force to suddenly erupt out. Xue Li was stopped, like she was a swallow that got stuck in a big wave of steel.
In a panic, she ignored everything else, her hair suddenly fluttering without any wind, rolling strangely like steel wire, she defended her front.
Xue Li groaned, it felt as if she was clashing with a gigantic berserk beast. She flew backwards even faster than previously, the blood and qi in her body were churning, feeling exhausted all over.
Xue Li"s face was pale white like paper, her mind overwhelmed by shock.
Flicking his wrist and waving the blade, the zanbato was already vertically straight up in front of Tang Yi.
At the same time, Ah Ji Ge"s aura was still rising, Xue Li"s loss caused him to squint, but he was already like an arrow about to be shot out from the bow, unretractable. His heart suddenly had the thought to retreat, but he roared, raising the True Power in his body to the maximum, his eyes blood red. Like a bloodthirsty wild beast, he rushed towards Tang Yi.
Every step he took caused the ground to shake, every step increasing his True Power, the power acc.u.mulated was at a high, pressing forward courageously and decisively, he brazenly rushed forth.
Holding the sword horizontally in front of his body, like a long spear, the astonishing sword aura blossomed from the sword body.
Tang Yi"s eyes lit up, the fight in front of him was fierce and extremely tense Ah Ji Ge"s blade aura brought forth a violent warp in the air, yet his heart was as calm as water.
His previous life, was petty and mediocre, without leaving behind any mark in the world, it was that plain and ordinary. He could not find something in the world that was his.
But since when did I become like this.
Since when, did I have such an intense longing.
Since when, was I already incapable of tolerating cowardice and being a weakling.
Was it all of you? It definitely must be! To make an ordinary character like me, to become like this.
Was it all of you? It definitely must be! To allow me to gain courage, to allow me to be able to lift my head up high, to make my heart be so restless, to make me so unreconciled with my life and my death.
Unknowingly, I have come to where I am today, unknowingly, I so petty and ordinary, already have my own conviction, and have my own pride.
I have become strong.
All these convictions, these ambitions, these yearnings, they are not unattainable anymore, and I do not have to bury them in my heart anymore
I will accomplish them!
The light in Tang Yi"s eyes erupted, Slashing vertically downwards with the zanbato fiercely!
"Kill!"
He bellowed in a stern and low voice, resonating in the entire Three Spirits City.
The citizens of Three Spirits City all consciously turned their heads, witnessing an unforgettable scene, a terrifying blade aura gushing out like a flood, traversing the entire Three Spirits City, destroying everything as if they were rotten and withered.. All the buildings in Three Spirits City were cut in half like paper.
Everything that the blade aura flood pa.s.sed through all disappeared, other than Ah Ji Ge, forming a wide and straight deep groove to stretch to the end of Three Spirits City…..
Ah Ji Ge"s huge broadsword body was gone, with only its hilt remaining. He had fallen into the groove, his entire body covered in blood, and lost consciousness.
Xue Li looked at the terrifying endless groove in terror, her entire body trembling involuntarily.
Monster!
The blade wielding martial artist, was a monster!
Is he a saint? No, he does not have the qi of a saint, but….if he was not a saint, how is he able to release such a G.o.dly blade?
This base…..what kind of place is this!
She immediately turned to try and escape, but suddenly at some unknown time, the armored monster had raised his blade again, and…..and it was facing right at her!
Her teeth were trembling, her calves and stomach was trembling, and what made her feel even more despair was that she could feel the opponent"s qi locking her down.
She was proud of her own light body techniques, but….she did not have any confidence that she could escape from the terrifying blade aura successfully.
"I surrender."
She clenched her teeth and said, for some reason instead, her heart relaxed, the anxiousness becoming much lesser. Compared to facing the monstrosity in front of her, accepting the family"s punishment was not as terrifying.
She threw down the dagger in her hand.
Tang Yi was not biased to the female gender, tying Xue Li up tightly, stuffing something into her mouth, and also tying the fainted Ah Ji Ge up.
"Close the gates."
Tang Yi dragged along the two people and said without turning back.
The mechanical engineers whose faces were still pale white immediately activated the gate mechanism, but their hands continued to tremble.
They were able to clearly witness the battle, every single training grounds were all in dead silence, every mechanical spirit weapon was like a golden statue, not moving an inch.
Wooosh, wooosh.
The sound of Tang Yi"s feathered armor sound, in the dead silence, was extremely clear.
Tang Yi looked at the two people tied up not far away, he did not know why they were tied up, but he did not care, and casually threw the two people in his hands down.
"Tie them up together."
With that, Tang Yi turned, returned to the gates, acting as if nothing happened with his eyes closed, holding his blade straight beside him.
The training grounds behind him immediately broke out into uproars.
"Oh oh oh oh my G.o.d!"
"Am I blind? I definitely am blind! I am actually blind…."
"Since when did Master Tang Yi become so fierce? Is he still human? Oh wait, Master originally wasn"t human…."
Sai Lei who was far away watching heaved a sigh of relief. She was extremely worried about Yi Fan"s family revenge, as she knew the strength of the Yi Fan Family. But Tang Yi"s monstrous performance caused her to become more relaxed.
Although pokerface is vulgar at times, but he is truly dependable at crucial times….
Sai Lei who was extremely meticulous naturally noticed Tang Yi"s transformation, and could guess that it must definitely be Tang Yi and the rest"s hard work, her fists involuntarily clenched tight.
Everyone is working hard to fight for you, Sai Lei, so you must do better!
She relaxed her fist, her expression becoming composed again, like nothing had happened, she looked at the rowdy mechanical engineers: "What are all of you looking at? Huh! Are you all so free to join in the crowd? Everyone focus, whoever dares to relax at this time, This grandnanny will let them learn how flowers bloom in red…."
The mechanical engineers immediately scattered. Big Sister"s tyrannical abuse, was never just arrogant remarks.
When Sai Lei returned to her own work desk, her heart was filled with fighting intent, as she screamed in her mind.
Sai Lei! You are the strongest mechanical engineer in the world, the one and only one!
Hua Chen Yun had also witnessed Tang Yi"s blade, causing him to be dumbstruck. He had seen similar mighty blade attacks before, all the blade saints, if they were to unleash their strength, releasing such a destructive and powerful blade aura was not difficult.
But….Tang Yi was definitely not a saint!
Hua Chen Yu already knew that Three Spirits City and Tang Tian had a relation, so he had carefully studied through large amount of reports. When he saw Tang Yi cutting through the training grounds, he immediately recognized Tang Yi.
Although Tang Yi had appeared in numerous reports, but the face and the Zanbato in his hand, was the most recognizable.
The relationship between Three Spirits City and Tang Tian was definitely not normal!
But, following that, Hua Chen Yun was shocked by Tang Yi"s monstrous power, and, it was a huge disparity compared to the reports…..
Hua Chen Yun gradually calmed down, and suddenly thought of another question.
Could it be… Tang Tian was still being underestimated?
—————————————————-
The eyes of Heaven"s Road were all attracted to the sudden emergence of Scorpio Constellations saint treasure. The discussion of Ursa Major Constellation had quickly died down. A third tier constellation, compared to a first tier, could not be compared at all. Even the glorious history of Ursa Major, in front of Scorpio Constellation, was not worth mentioning.
The rumors of killing a saint, the Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique, the awakening of Big Dipper, Draco Constellation"s allegiance….
In front of Scorpio Constellation, they were all nothing.
But, Tang Yi"s Lupus Army, was the most important army under Tang Tian. Tang Yi had always been studied by the various people, and Tang Yi"s strength was long revealed.
But, Hua Chen Yun who had just witnessed the fight finally realized, the judgements of Tang Yi"s strength in the reports were all a joke. It is reasonable to say that, with so many different reports, they would definitely not make the same mistake.
Could Tang Yi be previously concealing his strength?
Tang Tian"s schemes, were truly profound….
But why, why was it exposed now? What are they trying to achieve?
A string of questions surfaced in Hua Chen Yun"s mind. It was obvious that the mechanic martial artists were all familiar with Tang Yi. This sort of familiarity was definitely not from meeting once or twice.
Could it be….? Tang Tian was the master of Three Spirits City?
Hua Chen Yun became stunned, he was scared from that brazen thought.
G.o.dlike young lad….how many secrets are you truly hiding…..

Bear Egg.
Jing Hao looked as if he was pulled up from the water, his face was revealing fatigue, but the pair of eyes were extremely bright like the stars.
The gasp for breath from 50 thousand people, converged together, was like loud thunder. Everyone was drenched from head to toe, the new training method, required everyone to maintain a high degree of concentration in a short period of time.
Ah Xiu was near Jing Hao, his face pale while, vapor rising from all over his body. He was to support Jing Hao, like an a.s.sistant. Most of the pressure was placed on Jing Hao, but even 10% of 52 thousand people, to him, was an extremely vigorous test.
It was torture every single time, but Ah Xiu clenched his teeth had to endure. He knew, it was a test on willpower, and if he was able to endure through it, his strength would definitely soar. Teacher had given him an important position, to trust him, was also to cultivate him.
Ah Xiu took a look at Jing Hao, his heart full of admiration. The pressure Jing Hao was undertaking was many times more than him. Every time the training ended, Jing Hao would look as though he was fished out from the water. But from the start till the end, his expression never changed much.
Such an enduring man!
Jing Hao"s performance greatly encouraged Ah Xiu, and thus he persevered.
Every single martial artists on the ropes all stood up, one after another they left in an orderly fashion. Jing Hao closed his eye to rest recovering his physical strength, and waiting for the next cycle of training. It was proven that Adrian"s method was extremely effective, he was able to clearly feel his True Power and his control over it was substantially increasing.
"The synchronization is at 72%." Adrian said calmly: "Training efficiency had increased by about 8%, that is extremely good."
Increasing the result of training by 8%, Jing Hao nodded his head, such an extent in growth was truly powerful.
As expected of the man previously hailed as Dean "Hunter" of Orion Constellations number 1 academy. The standard of him grooming martial artists truly was top quality.
"If we can increase synchronization to 90% or higher, the training efficiency should be able to rise by 15%." Adrian"s calm voice was also filled with antic.i.p.ation, Increasing the training efficiency was a worldwide problem. And to be able to increase by 15%, that was definitely a dazzling achievement, roughly only organizations like the 12 Ecliptic Palaces, Honorable Martial Group or Onyx Soul had other methods for better achievements.
But it was a pity, the growth rate could not be used worldwide. Without Tang Tian"s Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique, they were unable to form such a dense star power region, and without Jing Hao and his endurance, it was impossible to be realized.
Even the partic.i.p.ating martial artists could only be discovered and not sought after.
Although his method was good, but the requirements for it were also extremely high, and every training period required them to use all their energy and strength, to be able to produce such a high grade training environment. The Lupus martial artists actually did not complain, but all quietly trained.
At the start, the Andromeda martial artists and Draco Martial artists were all grumbling and complaining, in contrast to the Lupus martial artists. Adrian immediately transferred the martial artists who displayed grievances to the back, and that immediately shut the martial artists from the two constellations up. And after that, the Lupus martial artists all displayed astonishing willpower and compliance, giving the martial artists from the other constellations immense pressure. Adding the warnings given by the families behind the martial artists who were performing badly, the training att.i.tude in the Bear Egg became good, something Adrian had never witnessed before.
Regardless if it was Tang Tian or Jing Hao, all the martial artists were worth praising. Only with all of them gathering and complying could such a result be achieved.
Very quickly, a new batch of martial artists once again sat in position.
Jing Hao had already recovered, becoming once again full of life. Adrian looked at Ah Xiu, whose face had also became solemn. Adrian also took note of Ah Xiu"s improvements.
The longer Tang Tian could support the Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique, the better…..
That thought flashed past Adrian"s mind, causing him to immediately chuckle. Tang Tian had already endured for 60 days. Normally speaking, the Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique rarely exceeded 50 days. Tang Tian"s one might have been shorter, due to the density of the whirlpool swords around him. In another way of speaking, the intensity of his tempering was unprecedented, and should most probably have completed tempering his martial spirit before.
I wonder, what will Tang Tian"s martial spirit become after completing the tempering?
Adrian then regained his focus, threw all the distracting thoughts to the back of his head and bellowed: "Begin!"
Hua Chen Yun stood at the door, not far from where Tang Yi was guarding. Tang Yi acted like he did not see Hua Chen Yun, not saying a word, both of them remained silent. But Hua Chen Hun could feel an immense pressure. The killing intent lingering around Tang Yi made him question if Tang Yi would suddenly release a blade at him.
Tang Yi looked for a long time, feeling somewhat helpless. The clan elders had said before….all big characters enjoyed arriving late….
He felt bored, and also felt extremely awkward with the silence, so he decided to speak up and create conversation: "General Tang Yi, do you need to personally stand guard here?"
Tang Yi acted like he did not hear a thing, not even batting an eyelid.
I am being ignored…..
Hua Chen Yun became silent for a while, then opened his mouth again: "General Tang Yi, that day, your strength was truly shocking! I never expect that not only is General Tang an outstanding military general, but your blade techniques is also so powerful."
Tang Yi continued to remain silent.
I am being ignored again…
Hua Chen Yun looked quietly at Tang Yi, alright, I truly am ball breaking bored…..
Suddenly, Tang Yi opened his eyes.
Was there finally a reaction? Hua Chen Yun heaved a sigh of relief he raised his head and looked at Tang Yi.
Eh?
Hua Chen Yun suddenly realized that something was amiss. The hand that was originally leaning on the blade, was already holding the hilt. In a moment, Tang Yi who was originally like a stationary statue, had transformed into a beast that was waiting to take action.
Just at that moment, a group of people entered his vision, they seemed to be walking towards the base.
With light in his eyes, Tang Yi raised the terrifying Zanbato.
Hua Chen Yun was startled, and immediately reacted, his face changing immediately, he panicked: "Hold up…"
The blade aura flood, suddenly appeared. The dazzling light immediately covering his entire vision. Hua Chen Yun"s mind became a blank, he hugged his head, not wanting to believe his own eyes.
Oh no!
After an unknown period of time, Hua Chen Yun regained his senses. When he did, the blade aura had already dissipated, and a deep long and straight groove had appeared from Tang Yi"s leg and extended out….
Hua Chen Yun held his breath and turned his neck. When he saw the long groove reached the feet of a big statured man, he immediately relaxed. In that moment, it was like he had flown from h.e.l.l to Heaven.
Bang!
The dazzling blade aura once again covered his vision. Hua Chen Yun who had just relaxed immediately froze, he hugged his head with his two hands, his expression and thoughts frozen.
When the blade aura dissipated again, Hua Chen Yun suddenly quivered. He could no longer care about anything else, and immediately ran in front of Tang Yi and shouted: "Guests! We are guests!"
Tang Yi"s blade stopped in midair.
"Tang Yi, do not be rude!" Bing"s voice appeared from behind.
Tang Yi instantly brought down his blade, and stood to the side.
"Recently there have been much trouble, and my subordinate is over anxious. I truly am sorry about the mistake, I am Bing, and welcome!" Bing bowed to apologize.
The big statured man who had blocked Tang Yi"s blades consecutively stood to the side, revealing the figure of the elder behind. His expression was gloomy as he looked at Tang Yi, his mind secretly quivering.
Such a powerful blade aura…..
It was only a step away from saint level, such a strong martial spirit, it truly is inconceivable…..
The cold elder"s face immediately revealed a smile: "Such a strong general, so dauntless and unique! No wonder the G.o.dlike young man is invincible, and was able to seize Ursa Major by force!"
Bing smiled modestly: "Ursa Major Constellation is a rural land, and is truly a laughing stock in front of you. 10 Thousand Crafts Libra Constellation, is the true artisan"s pilgrimage land of Heaven"s Road."
"Master Bing is too modest." The cold elder said: "Three Spirits City mechanical techniques are unique in the entire Heaven"s Road, and the purpose for our visit this time, holds a studious att.i.tude, and we hope Master Bing and grandmaster Sai Lei will be generous with your advices."
"Senior Xiao"s words, will only make us junior generation blush with shame, please enter, please enter." Bing immediately said.
Elder Xiao looked at Bing and smiled. For Bing to be able to expose his ident.i.ty, it proved their readiness, but it was as he antic.i.p.ated.
The group of people walked and chatted as they entered the base.
The lively training grounds inside the base immediately attracted the group"s gaze. Seeing their interest, Bing knew he had to hard sell, and immediately explained and introduced with all his energy.
"This training, is meant to increase the mechanical martial artists" sprinting capabilities. The mobility of mechanic spirit weapons relies on the mechanic"s base power, and not light body techniques, so for them to be able to utilize the power of the mechanical spirit weapon well, they are required to undergo this traditional training…."
"This is the response capability training, the goal is to increase the mechanical martial artist" familiarity with the mechanical spirit weapon. The mechanical spirit weapon is completely different from the old mechanic weapons. The mechanical spirit weapon is a body able to comprehend, as it itself has a martial spirit, and the most important aspect for a mechanical martial artist is to improve the communications between them and the martial spirit,as the martial spirit of the mechanical spirit weapon also requires to grow…."
"Oh, these are the four pigs of the Yi Fan Family…"
Everyone"s footsteps immediately became sluggish, and all stopped. They turned to look at the four people being hung from a beam, and in that moment, it became an awkward silence.
"Are they the Yi Fan Family from Taurus Constellation?" Elder Xiao inquired after some considerations.
"Ah, that"s right." Bing scratched his chin, admiring the view, and laughed: "I heard that the Yi Fan family"s family property is robust, I wonder how many star coins these four can be exchanged for."
Using the time, Hua Chen Yun immediately explained the grievances between the Yi Fan family and Sai Lei to them.
Elder Xiao accompanied everyone, but did not show despise. Although such matters would often occur in the foolish families, but to be hung by other people, that truly was a shame.
The four people that were hung were extremely ashamed, their faces all flushed red.
Elder Xiao laughed, although the Yi Fan family was powerful, but it was not to the extent that would make him fearful. They continued walking, and continued touring the base.
Bing brought the group to tour the entire base, spending 2 full hours before concluding. In the entire process, Elder Xiao"s gaze was full of splendor.
After the tour ended, Bing brought them to a large hall to drink tea and rest.
As they sat down as host and guests, everyone exchanged formalities, and got right to the point: "The reason I am here today, is because I need a little help from your side."

Libra Constellation, one of the 12 Ecliptic Palaces. But it was not like Scorpio Constellation who declined, and not like leo Constellation who was thriving, its history in the 12 Ecliptic Palaces, belonged in the middle of the constellations, not improving or declining.
But Libra Constellation was the most open-minded constellation recognized in the 12 Ecliptic Palaces, where whatever theory was discussed, it would never be dismissed as heresy, so many grandmasters of Onyx Soul liked to live in seclusion on Libra constellation.
With such a benefit, it immediately had a good atmosphere, thus Libra Constellation became the place with the most artisans, and held all sorts of martial artists holding different professions. Libra Constellation had many a.s.sociations, the artisan a.s.sociation, the martial artists a.s.sociation etc. The strongest a.s.sociation, was undoubtedly the Grandmaster a.s.sociation. 80% of Libra Constellation core a.s.sociations were the affiliated subordinate a.s.sociations of the Grandmaster a.s.sociation.
The qualifications to enter Grandmaster a.s.sociation was extremely rigid, and only the apex genius were able to join. But most of the grandmasters were all immersed in their own research, and were not interested in other matters, so the a.s.sociation had placed many elders. The elders were responsible for the daily work, and they themselves had profound attainments on martial techniques,so they held immense authority in the a.s.sociation.
Elder Xiao was one of them, and the grandmasters he was responsible for, included mechanical Grandmaster Engineer Guan Zhi Mo. Before Sai Lei was given the t.i.tle of Grandmaster, there were only two recognized grandmasters in the mechanical techniques world, and they were two Mos, the Mo Family Mo Leng and Guan Zhi Mo.
Mo Leng was reclusive, focused wholeheartedly on creating his own mechanical weapon in the Mo Family.
Guan Zhi Mo, on the other hand, had gone to Libra Constellation to work on his own research. But, although Guan Zhi Mo was a mechanical grandmaster, in the Grandmaster a.s.sociation, his position was not that high, because of the decline of mechanical techniques.
Sai Lei created the mechanical spirit weapons, but it did not influence much on Libra Constellation, until the war in Ursa Major Constellation, where the performance of the mechanical army was too outstanding, causing mechanical techniques to immediately become a hot topic, and Guan Zhi mMo"s position instantly soared.
There are many grandmasters inside the Grandmaster a.s.sociation, although their knowledge on the mechanical techniques domain was limited, they were profound and had deep comprehension towards the world and towards other works.
Many of the elders were sharp to notice the merging of the martial spirit and mechanical weapons, giving the ancient and declining technique a new pair of wings to become filled with limitless potential. And for the elders who were knowledgeable, they were worried about the chaos, if Libra Constellation was still able to maintain its" standing? Even if they joined a faction, would they be able to safeguard their interests? Libra Constellation, in the face of a blade, was like a fat succulent cow.
Self-preservation was the Grandmaster a.s.sociation’s worry and consideration for the period of time. The inheritance of Libra Constellation was good at fine control, and led them to research on how to use martial techniques, leading the inclination to cultivate martial techniques, while still lacking in the aspects of warfare martial techniques.
But at such a time, a mechanical army had appeared, immediately attracting their attention.
The mechanical army was undoubtedly the perfect fighting unit for Libra Constellation, because their knack for it and their technology was the highest. Libra Constellation had a mechanical grandmaster engineer, and more importantly, Libra Constellations technology acc.u.mulation in the various industries was very robust, and once they completely broke through the fundamental mechanical spirit weapons, and with their reserves, they would be able to have advances very quickly.
Three Spirits City had become the most crucial strategic point.
The Grandmaster a.s.sociation hoped that they would be able to merge Three Spirits City into the a.s.sociation directly, but the intelligence kept on improving, with Tang Tian emerging as the backing of Three Spirits City, the higher ups intelligently dropped that idea.
Although Ursa Major Constellation was a third tier constellation, Tang Tian was not good to be provoked. Over the year, the one to be able to consecutively win every campaign, was Young lad Tang who acted stupid on the surface but was actually profoundly scheming.
From Lupus Constellation to Andromeda Constellation, then from Andromeda Constellation to Ursa Major Constellation, then from Ursa Major Constellation to Draco Constellation, those impressive achievements, everyone knew he was a powerful thorn.
Indeed, The 12 ecliptic palaces had stronger armies, stronger martial artists, but these powers were all written. How many years had it been since their military generals went to war? The few who claimed they had, most probably were meant to do suppression. On the other hand, the other party might not be strong in writing, but he had walked a violent and forceful path, toppling army after army.
The name Young Lad Tang, was birthed from killing.
Although there were no rivers of blood, no ma.s.sacred cities or planets, but he definitely was not some kind hearted man. He was a maverick, a hateful man, a brief remark would cause him to start attacking, a man who fought as a living and was not forgiving.
How stupid was the Yi Fan Family….
Libra Constellation fixed their att.i.tude and became very courteous, collaboration, everyone should collaborate. You set a price, I buy. We can do with money, why the need to fight and kill?
Although my Libra Constellation is not as rich as Aquarius Constellation, but we are definitely not limited as well!
Both parties immediately developed a friendly and harmonious negotiation.
You want our mechanical spirit weapon technique? We cannot sell you the powerful ones, but the fundamental ones? No problem.
Fundamental ones? They will do, Our Libra Constellation does not have much, only an excess of grandmasters. As long as we grasp the fundamentals well, in the blink of an eye we will be profound, and then, who knows who will be the more profound one.
We don"t have a choice, the price of the fundamental sets are not cheap, as we have spent countless amounts of blood, sweat and tears. Of course, most importantly, we will be friendly with every family in Heaven"s Road, and will not be biased.
You were so shrewd to have brought your army along to do business, saying it is for an outlook, with that, I can only agree to it. I heard that your army has already been disbanded, those mechanical spirit weapons that you have used before, you can just sell them along with me.
That is not possible, we still need to practise, need to prepare for war, we still need to…..
Aiyoh, can"t you see my good faith, and I am already so old, my mouth is already dry, just tell me a number.
Both sides kept going back and forth, and very quickly came to an agreement.
The fundamental mechanical spirit weapon technique, was sold to the grandmaster a.s.sociation for 20 billion star coins.
Sky Martial Wolf Academy"s 5,600 mechanic spirit weapons, were sold to the grandmaster a.s.sociation for 80 million star coins per set, with a total of 448 billion star coins.
In a short span of, a total of 468 billion star coins was settled amongst them.
Both parties were rather satisfied.
Bing was extremely satisfied, especially that he was able to sell the 5600 sets of mechanical spirit weapons for 448 billion star coins, he was laughing in his heart. Sai Lei"s new model was already being manufactured, and it was almost time to change armors. He actually planned to gift them to the training facilities to be used, but he did not expect that he could instantly sell them off.
When the profiteer Mo Wei Tian sold his junk for 20 million star coins, Bing felt that selling his own for 80 million star coins was considered to be honest.
And Elder Xiao was also very satisfied, although the amount of 448 billion star coins looked to be a disadvantage, the big war was nearing, and to them, the most important was not star coins, but time. The second hand mechanical spirit weapons, not only were they able to act as research subjects, but they could be immediately used by the organisation"s mechanical martial artists to start training.
Otherwise, if they were to wait until they released their own mechanical weapons and begin training, that would be too late.
The news of Libra Constellations grandmaster a.s.sociation collaborating with Three Spirits City quickly spread.
Especially when Sai Lei, Mo Leng and Guan Zhi Mo, the three mechanical grandmaster engineers were to meet face to face, it made all the mechanical enthusiasts extremely excited. It was the first meeting of the three grandmasters in the same generation, and to the mechanical enthusiasts, it was the sign of the revival of mechanical techniques!
Yi Fan Family.
"Are you a pig? To be this stupid? Now the entire Heaven"s Road is mocking us, even that stingy Old Ge, is freaking mocking us! Why did you not investigate it first? Why did you not ask for advice from the elder"s group regarding such a big matter?"
Yi Fan Family Patriarch Dao Dun Yi Fan"s face was flushed red, he was so angry his entire body was trembling.
In front of him, a middle aged man drooped his head, crestfallen.
"Do you know who the master of Three Spirits City is? It is that crazy Tang Tian, the crazy lunatic who is using the Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique on himself! That lunatic who would bite you over something unimportant, and you dare to provoke him? He did not even give face to Honorable Martial Group and Onyx Soul, who do you think you are?" Dao Dun scolded.
The middle aged man mumbled to himself: "But it"s only Ursa Major Constellation…"
"Only Ursa Major Constellation?" Dao Dun was too angry that he started laughing: "Is Libra Constellations Grandmaster a.s.sociation so dumb so as to spend at least 500 billion to buy that junk? Let me tell you, they are all trying to express their goodwill to Tang Tian! You are looking down on Ursa Major Constellation, but other people are actually thinking the opposite! Let me tell you this now, this matter, if you do not handle it well, I will propose to the Elder"s Group to hold you accountable!"
The middle aged man was stunned, he could not believe his ears, and only reacted after a while, screaming: "You"re crazy! I am your son! You…."
Pa!
A loud slap sound rang out.
The middle aged man covered his face, he was dumbstruck like a chicken.
Dao Dun"s face turned gloomy, and said sternly: "That"s right, you are my son. But no one is above the Yi Fan Family. I did not look into all the mistakes you have done when you were obsessed with women. But you had to go to Sai Lei to bring bramble and seek punishment, there is no leeway of discussion for this matter. If you do not do it, I will kick you out of the family!"
The middle aged man was completely stunned.
"Remember, you are not my only son."
Dau Dun"s words were extremely cold, causing the middle aged man to fall.
When the middle aged man left without spirit, an old man appeared magically, sighing: "Old Master, Young Master He Xi was confused in that moment, and will get everything right soon."
"He better." Dau Dun"s tone was cold: "I will not let him pull the big family down with him. Did you investigate the matter of that year? We need evidence."
"It was Madam Chu Xi"s doings." The old man said: "We have tested positive for a type of slow poisonous agent in Sai Lei"s mother"s bones, and it is the Green Creeper that the Chu Family had pushed out these few years, and from the looks of it, the Green Creeper should have just been completed that year."
"Jealousy is truly a sin." Dao Dun sighed, and after that he suddenly sneered: "Only by forgiving can they be saved."
The old man"s heart turned cold.
He had followed the old master for over 10 years, and every sentence and phrase said was easily understood. If Sai Lei forgave her father, then the matter would naturally be sealed and done with, if Sai Lei did not forgive them, then Young Master He Xi and Madam Chu Xi….
The image of the pitiful and lonely little girl suddenly appeared in his mind. At that time when she left the Yi Fan families, she had an unbending pair of eyes.
She did not cry.
For some reason, his heart felt cold.

Bing was busy from dawn to dusk.
He was the only one able to bring the mechanical spirit weapons from Sky Martial Wolf Academy to Three Spirits City, 5600 mechanical spirit weapons, even with the silver aquarius cabinet, Bing was as tired as a dog.
Tang Yi rushed back to Ursa Major Constellation, to prepare the matters on arranging the expansion of Lupus Army. Tang Chou, with the funds, immediately began his strategy on Fornax Constellation, and began to continuously pick out outstanding mechanical martial artists to join the army.
Under the excitement of money. Bing erupted with an inexhaustible stamina, finally completing the delivery of the mechanical spirit weapons.
Three Spirits City was also in a mess, the Mo Family had started moving into Three Spirits City, dragging in many complicated matters, causing Pi Pa and the rest to be be extremely fatigued.
With the matter of collaborating with the Grandmaster a.s.sociation, it made Mo Wei Tian set his resolve, taking the opportunity to move into Three Spirits City. the Mo Family"s surrounding situation was not safe, with many unfamiliar martial artists appearing. But to send down his decision, Mo Wei Tian had to summon his courage, as it meant that the Mo Family was completely joining with Tang Tian, and not remaining a neutral stance as before.
Mo Wei Tian knew, compared to collaborating, the Grandmaster a.s.sociation"s resources were obviously more abundant, and their strength was much stronger. If their relation continued to remain stationary, the Mo Family"s use to Three Spirits City would become smaller and smaller, and that was not beneficial to them at all.
So to join Three Spirits City at such a time was basically declaring their position.
The Mo Family"s merger increased Three Spirits City"s strength substantially, as the Mo Family already had countless mechanical aristocratic families, and the number and standard of the grandmaster engineers were relatively good.
Furthermore, they had Mo Leng who was a mechanical grandmaster engineer. From then on, with two mechanical grandmaster engineers seated in Three Spirits City, without question, Three Spirits City was truly the number one Mechanical Weapon City.
With the Mo Family joining them, it also allowed Sai Lei"s new model to quickly improve.
At this critical juncture, a battle report caused Bing to rush back to Ursa Major Constellation.
Cetus Constellation was beginning their attack towards Ursa Major Constellation!
The sudden news immediately broke Bing"s plans, as he rushed back to Ursa Major Constellation through the night. Only when he reached Ursa Major Constellation did he realize the situation was far worse than he thought.
"The three saints of Cetus Constellation have suddenly disappeared."
Long Shou Jing"s face revealed shame, he knew that in the war, three saints could form a destructive force. With the three missing saints, it was like a hidden dagger that could surface up any any time.
"Hand towel, don"t be too hard on yourself. If the saints were so easily tracked, they would not be saints already." Bing consoled Long Shou Jing, his face not revealing any panic.
Because Tang Yi had already led his Lupus Army out.
Tang Yi was now a Major, and his commanding power had suddenly risen to 2500 troops. And with Magic Flute stationed in Three Spirits City, Bing sent Tang Yi back to Ursa Major Constellation, to manage and prepare the expansion of Lupus Army.
They did not expect that they would succeed by a lucky stroke.
Towards the enemy, Bing could not help but secretly praise Cetus Constellation for the choice of time. Tang Tian"s Whirlpool Sword Spirit Tempering Technique was not over, and Bear Egg"s special training was most probably found out by them, and that was undoubtedly the best time to strike. The armor of the mechanical army were all sold to Libra Constellation, so the students of Sky Wolf Martial Academy were unable to battle.
If Tang Tian"s spirit tempering was completed, the special training being concluded, the absorption of the almost 500 billion star coins, the release of the new model of mechanical spirit weapons, then that would be the nightmare of Cetus Constellation.
To Tang Tian"s side, they only needed to draw out the time, and their advantage would increase.
"Where is Tang Yi?" Bing asked.
"Bei An City."
Bei An City used to be one of Ursa Major Constellations strategic towns, with good star power concentration, and thus they produced a few King Bear martial artists in the past. But with Yan Yong Lies last mobilization, it made practically all of the martial artists in this city enter Orion Constellation. The current Bei An City was bleak and cheerless, losing its l.u.s.ter from the past.
Tang Yi did not enter the city, his troops were cavalry, and the landscape of the city was not suitable for them. And the citizens of the City did not welcome them.
The mark Yan Yong Lie left in Ursa Major Constellation could not be erased in such a short time.
Tang Yi did not care, he was a military leader, and only cared about bringing his troops to war.
It was not only Tang Yi who did not care, even Crane and the rest could not be bothered, because they knew Tang Tian did not even have the slightest bit of interest in ruling a constellation. The fool"s only wish was to instantly force his way into Crux Constellation.
If not for the road to Crux Constellation being reduced to a battle path, Tang Tian would not even bother staying at all. Master Bing did not have much interest in Ursa Major Constellation as well, as to Master Bing, Ursa Major Constellation was just a temporary training barracks. It was temporary because Master Bing did not like that Ursa Major Constellation"s star power concentration was not high enough.
So even when Cetus Constellation took over Bei An City, Tang Yi could not be bothered.
The army that was occupying Bei An City was Cetus Constellations Blue Whale Army, one of the three armies of Cetus Constellation, the other two being White Whale Army and Black Whale Army. Blue Whale Army was the weakest army of the three, but even with this army, their number far surpa.s.sed the Lupus Army.
Blue Whale Army was comprised of 3000 people, while Lupus Army only had 200. The disparity in strength was very obvious, and it was lucky for the special training the army had in the Bear Egg, all of their True Power breaking to the seventh level, allowing the Lupus Army to have a great increase in strength.
Tang Yi had tried different ways of attacking, but the opponent"s military general was very cautious, and did not reveal any weakness. The opponent"s formation was too dense, and Tang Yi did not dare to rush in deep.
The opponent had come prepared!
Blue Whale Army did not have a choice against Lupus Army, Lupus Army came and went like the wind, and Blue Whale Army did not have mounts, capable of chasing. What was worse, was that Lupus Army could become invisible, and their charge was extremely sharp. If they sent too few people, they would definitely lose.
Lupus Army kept appearing and disappearing around them, causing the mental state of the Blue Whale Army to be stretched taut, their speed of advance becoming slow like tortoises.
The chief commander of Blue Whale Army was clear, that as long as he could stall Lupus Army, then he would have already accomplished his task. The entire Ursa Major Constellation currently only had them as the able fighting army.
For Andromeda Constellations Plateau Army, a fourth tier constellation army, what use would they be?
With the same thoughts, White Whale and Black Whale army were irresistible forces, besieging and sweeping everything forth.
In a blink of an eye, the brilliant and renowned Ursa Major Constellation quickly got caught up in the unprecedented danger, fire beacons lighting up in all directions with the imminent danger.
"Imminent danger?" Bing sneered, he straightened his back.
Bear Egg"s special training was forced to cut short, as Bing listened to Adrian"s quick summary regarding Cetus Constellation"s attack.
"Speaking Overall, the results are very good. Lupus martial artists proved to obtained the best results, because their average level of True Power is very low at the fifth level. After going through the special training, their True Power standards were entirely raised one and a half levels, and some of the Lupus martial artists who were originally already at the sixth level, with their good talents, had already reached seventh level True Power. If they were able to complete the special training, there will definitely be some who will break through to the eighth level." Adrian"s tone was filled with regret.
Bing did not express any opinion, turning and speaking to Ta Dun: "How"s the Plateau Army?"
Ta Dun said solemnly: "Most of them have broken through to the eighth level, but there are still about 30% of the soldiers at the seventh level."
His mind was filled with worry, Plateau Army soldiers used to be around the seventh level, while the Cetus Constellation"s army were all at the eighth level. It was a huge gap, although True Power did not directly relate to strength, but there was still a disparity between both parties.
For Tang Yi, a unique military leader, with his specialised strategies, along with his soldiers that have the awakened Ancient Wolf Blood Meridian, they were able to fight against the mid tier armies.
He knew that his own standard was definitely not comparable to Tang Yi.
But Bing was very satisfied, he had achieved his own goals. That was why he dared to pull all the armies for special training, and dared to sell the 5600 sets of mechanic spirit weapons, all of this was according to plan. Other people might think that he was losing his head through greed, but they did not know, for an experienced veteran like him who was well versed with wars, how could he not have trump cards in his hand?
Bing"s trump card was the 1 million Lupus Martial Artists.
Bing said: "Of course, we are not going head to head with the Three Fish Armies, they are ultimately still too powerful."
Ling Xu looked at Bing, and corrected him: "Whales are not fish."
Bing acted like he did not hear that, coughing slightly, he continued: "For us, the most important thing is to delay. Since it is about delaying, then that would be easy. Our Lupus Race, other than being cannon fodder, what are they good for? We are bandits, he he, 1 million bandits ah, or should i say 1 million sixth level bandits with awakened Wolf Blood Meridians!"
Bing confidently and "Righteously" said: "A frontal War? Ai ya, such a no brainer skirmish, why would we do it? We will do our old work, which is to plunder!"
The Lupus Race Elders all looked at each other, all of them shocked by Bing"s suggestion.
"Of course, all of you are not going to plunder in front of their faces, that"s just going to die! So what are we doing to do? We will divide and conquer, mainly focusing on hara.s.sing. No matter how strong they are, they are also humans, and will get tired. And at that time, will be our chance. If we have the chance, we will poke them twice, if not, we will cry out loud at one side, and when they chase us, we will run. Simple." Bing said with a calm face.
After a moment, a Lupus Race Elder asked with a stammering voice: "Will that be effective?"
"Of course not!"
Bing completely ignored everyone"s murderous gaze, and said: "So I have prepared some small toys for everyone. They are all good products from the blood meridians laboratory, some kinds of poison, some kinds of incapacitating drugs, some self destructive beasts, everyone must bring some along with them. Relax, they are easy to use, any water source, to bury them, or throw the poison into the clouds…"
Everyone listened with pale faces, all of them shivering, but not from cold.
"All these ideas are ultimately thought of by people. There is afterall a tactic in the art of war called fortifying defenses and razing the fields, so ours is Banditry and poisoning the fields." Bing"s poker face smiled happily, his finger pointing and drawing a huge circle on the map: "Oh, if Banditry and poisoning the fields is too small, there won"t be any meaning to it, so let"s play it big shall we."
"From here to here is the only road to Bear Egg! So all the Lupus Martial artists, break into smaller groups, scatter into these areas. My request is simple, transform this entire place into a bandit wetlands!"
Everyone understood Bing"s thoughts, all of their eyes lighting up with a strange light. Although the plan was vulgar, but it was a good plan for delaying.
Bing smiled happily.
"Let us greet them in a good manner!"
