Chapter 54

Tang Tian felt his whole body filled with strength. Behind the light gate, he practiced with all his might.

Perseus! Chihui!

I'm coming!

Thud, thud, thud. Tang Tian, wearing black iron gloves, continuously faced the fog wall. His palms were enveloped in a flame, and each palm strike on the fog wall produced sparks. According to Big Brother Stone, each strike was like a forging, and the martial soul in the gloves would be tempered.

The martial soul inside the black iron gloves was a flickering flame.

After hundreds of thousands of strikes, Tang Tian finally felt the flame martial soul in the gloves becoming more solid, no longer wavering and seemingly about to extinguish at any moment.

Big Brother Stone's method was indeed effective, and Tang Tian was greatly encouraged. For an ordinary person, such a tiny change after hundreds of thousands of strikes would likely seem too unprofitable. But Tang Tian felt incredibly happy. After all, he had to practice anyway, and he could also upgrade the black iron gloves to bronze gloves. Where else could he find such a good deal!

Tang Tian's Shadow Shattering Palm had already been perfected. He hadn't relaxed at all during this period, but he still needed 200,000 more practices to reach the killing move [Starry Sky].

A perfect Shadow Shattering Palm would shatter into twelve small pieces when struck, while the killing move [Starry Sky] would explode into thirty-six streams of energy, covering a much larger area.

Tang Tian was drenched in sweat, and each palm strike shattered into twelve pieces in the air. The fog wall in front of him would burst into a cloud of mist.

Bing floated silently behind Tang Tian.

The Shadow Shattering Palm was not suitable for breaking the fog wall; it was a group attack martial skill with much less destructive power than the Small Collapse Fist. However, due to its wide coverage, although the progress was slow, after hundreds of thousands of practices, a large section of the fog wall had been destroyed.

The empty space behind the light gate had expanded significantly, now covering about seven to eight zhang, giving a sense of openness and greatly increasing the activity space.

Tang Tian practiced with疯狂.

Outsiders wouldn't believe it, but his talent was really poor. He knew his talent was indeed not good. To be stronger than others, he had to put in far more sweat and effort than others, with no room for侥幸. He had only a few more days before he would set off for Perseus, and he wanted to master the killing move of the Shadow Shattering Palm in these few days.

Only 200,000 more practices left...

Tang Tian leaned on his knees, drenched in sweat, panting heavily.

Bing floated silently behind him.

Suddenly, Bing asked, "Why are you so hardworking?"

"Why?" Tang Tian, who had just regained some strength, was taken aback. He straightened up, his face covered in sweat, his wet hair steaming. He looked at Bing and said seriously, "I want to become strong!"

"Strong?" Bing's unchanged voice, his face like a blank slate, made him look like a mechanical doll that could speak: "Why do you want to become strong?"

"Because there are many things I want to do!" Tang Tian said matter-of-factly. He suddenly asked curiously, "Bing, don't you have anything you want to do?"

Bing was silent. Just as Tang Tian was about to resume his practice, Bing suddenly said, "Yes."

Tang Tian's movements stopped. Now he was really curious and leaned in, "Bing, what do you want to do? Didn't you say your sins were already redeemed?"

Tang Tian remembered Bing's words, "Ceramic body, soul transformed, sins redeemed."

Bing was silent.

"Since you have something you want to do, go do it!" Tang Tian's eyes sparkled: "You've endured so many years, so many ceramic figures. Only you have transformed into a soul, which means you are destined to be an extraordinary ceramic figure! Wahaha! Just like me, wahao, a god-like youth!"

Bing looked at Tang Tian, his blank face showing no emotion.

"Cheer up! God-like Bing youth!" Tang Tian raised his arm and waved it vigorously, wiped the sweat from his face, and turned to continue his practice.

Bing quietly watched Tang Tian's back, silent.

That night, Tang Tian did not practice.

Beside the tombstone, Tang Tian sat all night. When the morning sun rose from the horizon, Tang Tian woke up as if from a dream.

He patted the dirt off his buttocks, looked at the tombstone, and said softly, "Mom, I'm leaving. Don't worry about me, I'm very brave and not afraid at all. Your son is already a man! Mom, I'm going to pursue my dreams."

Tang Tian's gaze was gentle, and he whispered softly.

After a long gaze, Tang Tian turned resolutely and ran down the mountain.

When Tang Tian arrived at the city gate, he saw a huge carriage, with three copper carriages connected. Many people had gathered in front of the carriage to see them off. Tang Tian saw Teacher Cen and Old Wei in the crowd. Teacher Cen had been recruited by Old Wei to teach basic courses at the Sachima Academy.

"Teacher Cen!" Tang Tian waved his arm and leaped to Teacher Cen's front.

Teacher Cen smiled warmly, "Tang Tian, you've done well!"

Looking at the young, rebellious, and innocent face in front of him, Teacher Cen felt a deep sense of emotion. He encouraged Tang Tian earnestly, "Tang Tian, remember, no matter what, never give up!"

Tang Tian could hear the concern in Teacher Cen's words. He felt warm inside and nodded forcefully, "Teacher, I won't give up!"

Old Wei also shouted, "Tang youth, don't disgrace our great Sachima Academy!"

"Old man, you should worry about yourself. With us two geniuses leaving, if your points aren't enough next year, we won't be able to help you!" Tang Tian made a face at Old Wei.

Old Wei laughed, "Youth, roll away smoothly!"

Without much sentiment, Tang Tian waved to the two and jumped onto the carriage.

Through the carriage window, he looked outside and suddenly felt a bit sad. He had lived here for seventeen years, and it was finally time to leave. But he quickly perked up; this was a new beginning, and the future was full of hope!

Soon, the others also boarded the carriage.

They greeted each other, but their spirits were not high. Han Bingning still had tear marks on her face.

The carriage was large, and the interior was not luxurious but very comfortable, with an unusually large space.

The carriage slowly started, and everyone waved frantically outside. No matter how powerful they were, they were still teenagers. The carriage was very fast, and soon they couldn't see anyone. Starwind City gradually disappeared from their view. The young people returned to their seats, but their spirits were not high. This was their first experience of parting.

After half an hour, the parting mood gradually faded, and the atmosphere in the carriage became lively.

"What kind of carriage is this? It's so fast!" Amoli pressed his face against the window, amazed.

Lord Kong chuckled, "This is the Pegasus Constellation's Pegasus Star Carriage, the best for long journeys. Pegasus carriages are quite famous, with excellent balance in all aspects. This carriage can hold 200 people, but we usually only have about 30 people, and the rest is modified into a practice area."

"This speed is even faster than my Eight Steps to Catch a Cicada!" Tang Tian was surprised.

"Ha ha, a third-rank light skill can't compare to a star carriage. But a star carriage consumes star stones. For a round trip, we need at least one fourth-rank star stone."

Everyone was stunned and speechless.

Fourth-rank star stones were not unseen, but in Starwind City, they were extremely rare. Yet, for a round trip, one fourth-rank star stone was consumed, and the image of the Bright Martial Assembly as wealthy and powerful was firmly established in everyone's mind.

Lord Kong chuckled, "Wu'an Star is a marginal planet, not on the Heavenly Road. Since this is your first long journey, I need to brief you on some things."

Everyone immediately perked up their ears.

"Your talents are all very good, but don't be arrogant. When you get to Perseus, you'll find that there are many young people with good talents, more than you can imagine. You'll find that life in the Martial Assembly is very different from life in Starwind City. The Martial Assembly encourages competition, and the internal competition is very intense. Whether it's techniques or resources, if you want more, you need to stand out in the competition. The better you perform, the more support you will receive from the Martial Assembly. You need to quickly adapt to this competition, which is everywhere, not just for you, but for me as well. I chose you and arranged for you to go to Perseus, which also carries risks and pressure. You are all smart people, and I believe you can understand."

Lord Kong continued, "However, as long as you perform well enough, the rewards you receive will far exceed your imagination. Your previous school and your family will benefit from it. The power of the Bright Martial Assembly is much greater than you can imagine. So, during this time, don't think about anything else. What you need to think about is how to become stronger, even stronger, and let your mentor see your potential as soon as possible."

"This is the most important and the only important thing for you. Don't be lucky; the internal competition will be more brutal and direct than you can imagine."

Lord Kong's gaze slowly swept over everyone.

Everyone immediately felt a strong pressure and became solemn.

"Once you fall behind others, no one will scold or hit you. Your only outcome will be to disappear silently. In those dangerous missions, you will die silently, and no one will know." Lord Kong's expression was serious: "I'm not joking."

Everyone's faces changed, and Lord Kong's words shocked them. No one had expected that the Bright Martial Assembly, which everyone was eager to join, was so dangerous internally!

"You will find that over time, the familiar faces around you will become fewer and fewer."

The others managed to remain calm, but Gu Xiaoyu was already trembling with fear. Among them, he was the weakest and the worst, and he still didn't understand how he was selected.

"During this journey, I will personally guide you." Lord Kong said calmly, "Everyone, work hard!"
