Chapter 41

" Tang Tian, you need to be careful. The Black Soul people are very dangerous. " Nannan's mother was full of worry. She turned and went into the house, and after a moment, she came out with a small jar in her hand: "You've helped us so much and even saved Nannan. I don't have much else to give you, but take this Bamboo Bee Royal Jelly. It should last you for a while."

"Nannan, say goodbye to the big brother. We're leaving." Nannan's mother's face was resolute.

Nannan burst into tears.

Tang Tian felt a pang of sadness. He could only rub Nannan's head, his throat feeling as if it were blocked. Although they hadn't spent much time together, he had grown very fond of Nannan's innocence and sincerity.

Nannan's mother was also very sad, but she steeled her heart, picked up Nannan, and said goodbye to Tang Tian before turning and disappearing into the bamboo forest.

As Nannan's cries grew fainter and fainter, Tang Tian felt a sense of loss.

Looking at the bodies on the ground, he was filled with anger. "What the hell is Black Soul? I'll remember this." With a full heart of rage, Tang Tian stripped the black-clothed men bare, leaving nothing behind, and then sank the naked bodies into the swamp.

Tang Tian, carrying a large bag, returned to Sachima Academy.

Old Wei had returned at some point and was happily roasting meat. Amoli squatted beside him, staring hungrily. Tang Tian, with a dark face, walked over to the two and threw the bag on the ground with a thud.

The contents of the bag scattered on the ground.

Old Wei's gaze fell on the copper plaque, and his hand froze in mid-air. He got up, walked to the pile of items, and squatted down, fiddling with them for a while.

"It looks like you've gotten yourself into big trouble."

Old Wei's tone was unreadable, his gaze deep.

"Hey, old man, you know about Black Soul, right?" Tang Tian stared at Old Wei.

Old Wei saw the fierce look in Tang Tian's eyes and suddenly laughed: "I know a little. Black Soul is a very ancient organization, one of the oldest in the world. Their organization is tightly structured, and their relationships are complex. Throughout the history of the Heavenly Path, you can see their influence. They operate in the darkness, using any means necessary. If they set their sights on you, you're likely to end up dead. Young man, you're in deep trouble!"

"They're looking for me." Tang Tian didn't hide it: "It's probably because of my mother's legacy, the Southern Cross Ascetic Plate."

The Southern Cross Ascetic Plate had already merged with him, and he wasn't worried about anyone taking it.

"Southern Cross?" Old Wei was taken aback: "The Southern Cross is the smallest constellation. Why would Black Soul be interested in it?"

Seeing Tang Tian's puzzled expression, Old Wei explained: "The more powerful the constellation, the more powerful the celestial secret treasure it can produce. The Southern Cross is the smallest constellation, so its celestial secret treasure shouldn't be very strong. Black Soul is only interested in powerful celestial secret treasures and powerful martial techniques. Perhaps there's a secret in the Southern Cross Ascetic Plate?"

Tang Tian shook his head: "I don't know. I met Di Han. Although he didn't show himself, it was definitely him."

"Di Han?" Old Wei looked surprised: "Black Soul participating in the martial assembly? That's a bit strange. They're interested in the Southern Cross Ascetic Plate and the martial assembly?"

Amoli was busy devouring the roasted meat, completely ignoring the conversation between Old Wei and Tang Tian.

Tang Tian, pulling at his hair, had a dark face. He was in a bad mood. Nannan's departure made him sad. Although he wasn't afraid of Black Soul, even if Old Wei said they were powerful, he wasn't worried.

If the Southern Cross Ascetic Plate really had a hidden secret, as Old Wei suggested, then Black Soul could help him find it.

As for the rest, he would just use his fists to solve it.

As long as he trained hard and became stronger, Black Soul would naturally help him "find" the secret of the Southern Cross Ascetic Plate.

Thinking about this, Tang Tian's mood brightened. He didn't need to think too much; he just needed to train hard, which was exactly what he was good at!

"This guy doesn't seem very strong." Tang Tian pointed to the copper plaque on the ground. This real combat experience made him realize that "Lightning Kill" was the most suitable martial technique for ambushes, with its lightning-fast punches making it highly effective.

"He's just a Black Soul grunt." Old Wei glanced at it: "In Black Soul, they don't even count as outsiders. Black Soul's power exceeds your imagination. They have various martial techniques and secret treasures. Each Black Soul member just needs to complete tasks and earn points. As long as you have enough points, you can exchange for anything. Black Soul is obsessed with celestial secret treasures and martial techniques because these things are fatally attractive to martial artists. Not only that, but as long as you can think of it, anything can be provided as long as you have enough points."

"Don't worry too much." Old Wei comforted Tang Tian: "Black Soul has many factions, more complex than any other organization. Often, their actions don't truly represent Black Soul's intentions. If they were really interested in your Southern Cross Ascetic Plate, they wouldn't just send a few grunts."

Tang Tian was greatly disappointed: "Really? The Southern Cross Ascetic Plate is very powerful, and they don't even care?"

In his heart, he already agreed with Old Wei. The guy he had killed was probably as strong as Di Han. But if that was the case, wouldn't his "brilliant idea" fall through?

"Damn! I was counting on Black Soul." Tang Tian muttered.

Old Wei was speechless: "Aren't you afraid?"

"Why should I be afraid?" Tang Tian looked at Old Wei with disdain, hands on his hips, face turned upward proudly: "I'm determined to become a god-like young man. Black Soul is destined to be one of the enemies I defeat on my great journey."

Old Wei stared at Tang Tian's face for a long time, then covered his face with his hand: "Ignorance is bliss. I was wrong; this fool wouldn't know fear..."

Tang Tian's attention shifted to the loot. He quickly said: "Hey, old man, help me look. Is there anything useful in here?"

"Hmm, you can keep this copper plaque. Black Soul recognizes the plaque, not the person. You can kill and take the plaque, and Black Soul won't care. But I think this guy was poor, so there won't be many points. You'll see later that many things in Black Soul are very convenient. For example, intelligence. No force is better at gathering information than Black Soul. The dual blades are decent, about the same level as your Heavenly Furnace Black Iron series. Oh, this is good, the Heavenly Arrow Constellation's Small Universe Sleeve Arrow, a Black Iron secret treasure. You've trained in hidden weapons, so you can use it. These star stones are of low rank, so use them to buy things." Old Wei looked like a cunning merchant.

Tang Tian tied the Small Universe Sleeve Arrow to his wrist and tried to inject true energy.

A faint sensation connected him to the Small Universe Sleeve Arrow. With a thought, a small black arrow shot out as a black streak, incredibly fast.

"Hey, hey, young man, this thing is very dangerous!" Old Wei quickly warned.

Tang Tian followed the direction of the black streak and sucked in a cold breath. Ten meters away, a tree trunk had a small hole, and the black sleeve arrow had completely penetrated the tree, which was over two feet in diameter.

"Good stuff!" Tang Tian eagerly searched for the sleeve arrow he had just shot.

When Tang Tian found the sleeve arrow, Amoli's beast-like belch brought him back to reality. Tang Tian's gaze fell on the thigh bone in Amoli's hand, and he was stunned. The thigh bone of an unknown beast was completely clean, as if it had been washed.

Amoli looked satisfied.

"Fly Cow! You bastard! How could you eat all the roasted meat by yourself!"

Tang Tian's furious roar echoed through the forest.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Wow, the main event is starting today, there are so many people!" Amoli looked around.

"It seems so." Tang Tian's face was twisted. Although he was naturally strong, he was quickly overwhelmed by the crowd of aunts and uncles. His clothes were wrinkled, and his shoes were covered in footprints.

Suddenly, a cold voice entered Tang Tian's ears: "Hey, isn't that our school bully, Tang Tian? Why are you so miserable?"

Tang Tian turned and saw Zhou Peng, and immediately smiled: "Great! I didn't expect you to come to me."

Before he finished speaking, he lunged at Zhou Peng.

Zhou Peng looked at him with a mocking expression, as if watching a joke.

Slap.

A large hand suddenly appeared in front of Tang Tian, blocking his path.

Tang Tian tried to push the hand away, but it suddenly disappeared.

Buzz!

A palm wind rushed toward his head, and Tang Tian's expression turned serious. So fast!

He stepped into an empty stance, crouched down, and the palm wind passed over his head. The solid palm wind grazed his scalp, but Tang Tian seemed unaware. His body, like a spring, suddenly exerted force.

Tang Tian's speed increased dramatically, and his body left a blurry trail in the air. Only his eyes drew two cold arcs in the air.

Zhou Peng felt as if he were being locked onto by a wild beast.

A fierce aura rushed toward him!

A mocking smile appeared on Zhou Peng's face again, and he extended his palm, lightly pressing it toward Tang Tian.

A faint green color appeared on Zhou Peng's palm.

Bang!

Palm and fist met, and Tang Tian's body shook, his feet involuntarily retreating.

He took seven or eight steps back before he could steady himself.

Tang Tian was shocked. This guy's strength had become so powerful!

"How about it, school bully Tang, have I improved a bit? Tsk tsk, don't worry, I won't be so crude as to lift you up. I'll slowly torture you. The Zhou family's Wood Heart Sword Wheel, you'll be the first to taste it. Do you feel honored?" Zhou Peng spoke softly, his gaze cold.

Tang Tian suddenly grinned and made a face at Zhou Peng.

Zhou Peng was taken aback, and suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his palm.

He opened his palm and saw a deep, bone-deep cut.

Blood gushed from the wound, covering his hand.

Zhou Peng screamed in panic.
