Time continued to pass, Tang Tian's shouts grew from high-pitched to low, and then to hoarse. Only the sound of his fists breaking through the air never stopped. Punch, punch, punch...
In low-level martial arts, physical strength is the foundation of everything. For five years, he had trained extremely hard every day, far exceeding the imagination of ordinary people. This had honed his astonishing endurance. Although he was not as strong as Amoli, in terms of physical strength, he was by no means inferior to Amoli.
His strong physical strength ensured his astonishing training volume. However, in the face of such疯狂 and high-intensity training, even someone with Tang Tian's formidable physical strength began to feel unable to bear it for the first time.
When the last bit of strength was exhausted, Tang Tian fell to the ground with a thud, lying there like a pile of mud.
The intense training was truly crazy. Although the true energy continuously repaired his body, and although he did not feel hungry in this strange space, the mental exhaustion was also astonishing.
His physical strength was completely drained, and after practicing the Qi Cultivation Technique, it would recover, and he would immediately throw himself into the next round of training, repeating this cycle without wasting a single moment.
However, as time went on, the high-intensity training placed an increasingly heavy burden on his body. Fatigue became harder to recover from, the time it took for true energy to circulate became longer, and the pain and fatigue of training increased even more.
Coupled with the long-term concentration, his mental energy was severely depleted, and Tang Tian felt as if his brain was about to split, with a dull ache inside.
The coldness of the black rock floor, transmitted through his cheek, brought him a bit of clarity, but he did not have the strength to move even a finger, as if his body was not his own.
At this moment, he should have sat up and circulated his cultivation method, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not sit up.
Fatigue came in waves like a tide, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.
Sleep, just sleep, how satisfying it would be to take a nap at this moment...
A voice in his mind seemed to be saying this, complete and full of temptation.
Sleep, you have done enough, a nap is also deserved...
It was as if there was a devil in his mind, constantly speaking.
Tang Tian struggled to keep his eyes open. He wanted to crawl up, but his body was limp, and he could not even move his fingers.
"No, I don't want to sleep! I want to train!" Tang Tian shouted in his heart, as if to himself and to the devil in his mind.
"You have no strength left to train. Sleep, after you sleep, you can still train. You have done your best, you have trained enough. Don't force yourself, why be so hard on yourself? Just take a nap, it will be very satisfying and sweet..."
"No! I want to train! I want to train! I want to train!"
Something in Tang Tian's heart seemed to explode, and intense anger like a gushing lava instantly ignited every corner of his body.
The roar carried deep stubbornness and unwillingness.
He was like an angry lion, his body trembling, his eyes burning like a raging sea of fire.
He glared with bloodshot eyes, staring fiercely at the cold, mirror-like floor, and a low, hoarse roar squeezed out from between his teeth.
"How can a god-like man give up?"
"I want to go to the Perseus constellation! I want to find Chihui! We want to go to the Heavenly Road!"
"How can we give up on what we have agreed to?"
"Tang Tian..."
"Never give up..."
"Never give up!"
In the repeated angry roars, a surge of strength came from somewhere. Tang Tian slowly propped himself up, his eyes wide, his expression fierce, and every vein on his forehead bulging.
His body trembled continuously but slowly sat up.
Sweat formed a puddle beneath him, and the smooth, mirror-like rock floor reflected the stubborn figure.
Never give up... Tang Tian... you are already far behind others...
On the tenth day.
Tang Tian's consciousness became somewhat hazy, and he could no longer see the red numbers and time clearly. At this moment, his instincts supported him, and the sound of his punches was fierce.
The crimson numbers flickered rapidly.
Tang Tian heard his rapid heartbeat and his heavy breathing.
There are so many things I want to do... how can I give up like this...
Just a little longer... just a little longer...
After an unknown amount of time, in a daze, Tang Tian felt the world spinning. His heart relaxed, and a smile appeared on his tired face.
Ha, I won...
This was the last thing he remembered.
Behind the light door, there was nothing, just a row of red numbers.
30000!

In the Zhou family's ancestral hall, many elders gathered.
"This matter has had a very negative impact on our Zhou family," said an old man with white hair and beard. Although he was old, he held a dragon-headed cane, his eyes clear and sharp, and he exuded an aura of authority. He was the most respected elder in the Zhou family, and even the family head had to call him the Great Elder.
This family meeting was personally convened by the Great Elder.
"Our Zhou family has stood in Wu'an Star for more than four hundred years. It was not easy for our ancestors to establish this foundation. We, their descendants, not only failed to protect it but also disgraced our ancestors. I have been unable to sleep for several days."
The Great Elder's tone was solemn and low, and no one in the hall dared to make a sound.
The family head was on pins and needles, sweat pouring out. If the elders present opposed him, his position as family head would be immediately at risk. With the Great Elder's prestige, if he proposed to remove the family head, half of the elders present would follow.
"It's all my fault! I failed to discipline him properly..." the family head said humbly.
The Great Elder did not even look at him, coldly snorting, "You failed to discipline him! I never thought that the son of the Zhou family head would be almost killed by a trash student. If I remember correctly, Zhou Peng was a candidate for the next family head, right?"
The family head's cold sweat immediately poured down, his face ashen. He had spent years cultivating his position as family head, smoothing relations with the elders, and promoting Zhou Peng as the future successor. Now that the Great Elder mentioned this, it was clear that he was questioning Zhou Peng's qualifications as a successor, and he could not oppose it.
The impact of this matter was truly terrible. Everyone in Starwind City knew about Tang Tian, the super repeater, and how Zhou Peng had been defeated by him, which was very embarrassing.
In fact, he had already heard many rumors in recent days and was somewhat worried, but he did not expect his worries to become reality.
He could only say in a low voice, "Peng is still young and doesn't understand things well, but his talent and potential are good."
"Is that so?" The Great Elder's expression was stern. "If his potential is good, then true gold is not afraid of fire. Give him a month to resolve this matter. He lost the Zhou family's reputation, so he must win it back. As a successor, if he lacks this awareness, what kind of successor is he? Who the next family head is is not important, but what is important is that the Zhou family's family head position must not be given to a useless person!"
The Great Elder's tone was cold and resolute, his words ringing out.
"Exactly!"
"Speak with strength!"
"The Great Elder is right!"
The elders present all agreed.
The family head knew there was no way out and gritted his teeth. "The Great Elder is right. If he is not capable, I will disown him!"
The Great Elder's expression softened slightly. "We have all seen your efforts over the years. But you must always remember that the Zhou family's reputation must not be tarnished! You are still young, have more children, and the family will flourish."
"Yes!" The family head bowed in response.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The Zhou family head looked at Zhou Peng, who burst into the room with a smug look on his face.
"Father! I finally found out where Tang Tian went. This guy ran to the Sachima Academy, ha, the third-to-last lousy school!" Zhou Peng said excitedly. "I searched for a long time and found nothing. If it weren't for Amoli transferring schools, I wouldn't have found him."
The last time he was beaten up by Tang Tian at the school gate, although his father had expelled Tang Tian from Ande Academy, Zhou Peng had never given up on the idea of revenge.
He had never been so embarrassed in front of so many people in his life!
Tang Tian!
Thinking about the day Tang Tian choked him by the neck, with that arrogant and domineering look in his eyes, Zhou Peng's fists clenched involuntarily.
Tang Tian, you will soon know my power!
"Peng, there is something I need to tell you," the Zhou family head said solemnly.
Zhou Peng only then noticed his father's unusual expression and was somewhat surprised. "What's wrong?"
"You need to resolve the matter with Tang Tian yourself."
"Great! The [Golden Dragon Staff] soul card that Uncle Pan gave me last time hasn't been used yet. A third-stage silver soul will definitely beat Tang Tian like a dog!" Zhou Peng was immediately excited.
"No!" The Zhou family head shook his head. "The Great Elder said you must resolve it yourself, without any help from others."
Zhou Peng's smug expression froze. "Is the Great Elder senile?"
"Ridiculous!" The Zhou family head's expression was severe. "It seems I have indeed been negligent in disciplining you! From today, you will study with Zhou Mu!"
Zhou Peng only then noticed the almost invisible figure beside his father.
Zhou Mu, his father's top guard, was usually taciturn and unemotional, but his strength was unfathomable. What made Zhou Peng even more afraid was that Zhou Mu did not show any favoritism and would complete any task his father assigned him 100%.
"Zhou Mu, I'm giving you Peng. I don't care what methods you use, but in one month, I want him to reach the third stage," the Zhou family head said solemnly. "Whatever resources you need, just take them."
"Yes." Zhou Mu responded woodenly.
Zhou Peng almost fainted, wailing, "Father, no..."
His cries were cut short as Zhou Mu knocked him out and carried him out.
A hint of reluctance flashed in the Zhou family head's eyes, but he forced himself to endure it.
Tang Tian!
A cold glint flashed in the Zhou family head's eyes. The root cause of this matter was this guy! If it weren't for the Great Elder's specific instruction for Peng to personally avenge himself on Tang Tian, he would have sent someone to kill Tang Tian right now!
Let this guy live a few more days...
Once Peng resolves it, I'll find someone to quietly take care of him.
Ha, people disappear in Starwind City every year, who would care?
A murderous intent appeared on the Zhou family head's face.
