Chapter 56

Everyone stared blankly at the empty martial arena.

A deathly silence fell, and no one could utter a word.

Tang Tian scratched his head: "I didn't do anything, it's so strange, how did they all explode?"

No one could speak; the scene that had just unfolded was too bizarre and inexplicable.

"Could it be that we've been playing here for too long?"

"Possible! This thing has been here for five or six years, maybe its lifespan is up. Otherwise, how could it explode?"

"Right, right! Six years! Even an iron man would be worn out if he was tormented like this every day..."

The crowd murmured, and the more they talked, the more they felt that the destruction of the Weakness Martial Arena was a normal occurrence. Tang Tian, who was scratching his head, let out a sigh of relief. Two hundred and seventy-one fourth-rank Silver Soul General cards, if he had really broken them, he wouldn't be able to pay for it even if he sold himself.

Simaxiang and the others also showed a hint of understanding. This was normal; although Tang Tian was quite powerful, he was still far from being flawless.

However, with the Weakness Martial Arena destroyed by Tang Tian, the original training plan was naturally canceled.

Seeing the situation, Lord Kong waved his hand, instructing everyone to return to their rooms to rest.

Tang Tian returned to his room and fell asleep immediately. He didn't worry about the Weakness Martial Arena; he genuinely believed it had broken on its own, so he had no psychological burden. He was just a bit disappointed that he wouldn't get to fight.

Fortunately, it was time to enter the light gate. Without hesitation, he entered, ready to begin his new rigorous training.

Tang Tian's entry seemed to wake up Bing.

When Bing had nothing to do, he would always float quietly in the air, staring at the distant fog wall. Tang Tian greeted Bing and prepared to start training. His Shadow Shattering Palm was almost ready to develop the killing move [Starry Sky].

"Bing, do you want to increase your rigorous training time?" Bing suddenly asked.

Tang Tian was taken aback, stopped in his tracks, and looked at Bing curiously: "Can the rigorous training time be increased?"

"Uh-huh." Bing nodded.

"How?" Tang Tian's interest was immediately piqued, and he asked curiously. Although rigorous training was painful, its effects were definitely better than regular training.

Bing raised the long spear in his hand and pointed forward: "There is a training ground there. As long as you enter the training ground, you can enter here more frequently."

"Training ground?" Tang Tian followed the direction of Bing's spear and saw the vast fog wall: "Is the training ground inside the fog wall?"

"Uh-huh." Bing replied.

"What exactly is this fog wall?" Tang Tian asked curiously: "It looks like fog but isn't fog, it can be eliminated, and it's everywhere."

Bing was silent for a moment before saying: "This is the Clock Gray Fog."

"Clock Gray Fog?" Tang Tian found everything Bing said strange and bizarre, something he had never heard of.

"One of the most powerful forces of the Clock Constellation." Bing continued: "This is actually a sealed and stored area. Time does not flow here because of these Clock Gray Fogs, which confine this place."

"What kind of place is this? Why do you know, Bing?" Tang Tian stared at Bing and asked seriously: "The South Cross Constellation rigorous training badge is a relic left by my mother! Bing, who are you?"

Bing: "This is the South Cross Constellation Corps base."

"South Cross Constellation Corps?" Tang Tian was stunned.

"Yes." Bing said calmly: "I belong to the Tao Department of the South Cross Constellation Corps."

"Why did my mother have this bronze badge?" Tang Tian asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Unknown." Bing shook his head.

Tang Tian was silent for a moment, then he raised his head, his expression brightening. He asked curiously: "Were you here before?"

"Yes." Bing said indifferently: "This area used to be the new recruit camp."

"Sounds fun!" Tang Tian's interest grew, and he was extremely curious: "I've never been in a corps, Bing, tell me about your past, it must be very interesting!"

Bing paused for a moment, as if he hadn't heard, and said in a stiff voice: "If you go forward from the black crystal, you'll reach the new recruit training camp. Some of the things there might be useful to you."

"New recruit training camp! Ah, what's in there?" Tang Tian, hearing that it would greatly help his training, was immediately energized: "How far is it?"

"Two kilometers." Bing's voice was as stiff as ever.

"Two... two kilometers..." Tang Tian's expression froze, and he stammered.

Clearing a two-kilometer fog wall, the amount of work, even for the determined Tang Tian, made his limbs go weak and his face pale.

"Uh-huh." Bing's voice was as stiff as ever.

In the room.

Lord Kong's expression was serious, as if he was deep in thought.

The old man said solemnly: "I am certain it's not a problem with the Weakness Martial Arena. After careful consideration, I think there are a few possibilities. First, Tang Tian's mind is truly flawless, but this is the least likely. How can anyone be completely flawless? Second, Tang Tian has some secret treasure that protects him, making the Gray Cat Pupil unable to see through him, leading to a backlash. However, when I checked his quality, I specifically examined him and found no secret treasure. Either he doesn't have one, or it's very powerful. Third, he has a unique bloodline, and the Gray Cat Pupil's probing triggered the power of his bloodline, causing the backlash."

Lord Kong remained expressionless: "Which possibility do you think is the most likely?"

"The third one is the most likely." The old man said without hesitation.

"If that's the case, it's a pity." Lord Kong was somewhat regretful, as he agreed with the old man's judgment, which matched his own. Everyone's mind has flaws, even those famous experts are no exception; it's just a matter of degree. As for powerful secret treasures, Lord Kong detected no such vibrations.

"Yes." The old man was also filled with regret.

Although the Bright Martial Assembly has many martial techniques, their research on bloodlines is not noteworthy. The true experts in this field are their archenemies, the Black Souls, as the Bright Martial Assembly prides itself on being righteous, and bloodline power has many taboos.

"Using an outer camp slot to reduce one of our opponents' training targets is not a bad deal." Lord Kong said.

"Indeed, sir." The old man quickly responded.

"Go and guide those few young ones well." Lord Kong waved his hand, somewhat disinterested, as he was most interested in Tang Tian. The other five had outstanding talent, but he found it hard to get excited about them. Such talent was top-notch in Starwind City and met the standards of the Bright Martial Assembly, but for someone who often saw such talented youths, it was nothing special. On the contrary, Tang Tian, with his mysterious aura, piqued his interest.

His greatest expectation was gone, and he suddenly lost interest.

The old man responded: "Yes!"

Tang Tian was drenched in sweat.

He was in a narrow passage, digging continuously. His ten fingers, like hooks, were enveloped in flames, moving like the wind. The fog wall in front of him was visibly disappearing. After successfully mastering the killing move [Starry Sky] of the Shadow Shattering Palm, Tang Tian immediately switched to the Eagle Claw Technique. The Eagle Claw Technique was much more efficient than the Shadow Shattering Palm, making it an excellent method for digging and tunneling.

Following Bing's direction, Tang Tian dug a deep tunnel.

The tunnel entrance was very narrow, just enough to accommodate him, with Bing floating behind him.

Fortunately, the Clock Gray Fog would dissipate once it left the fog wall, so there was no need to transport it like sand.

With a new goal, Tang Tian was highly motivated, working at full speed, his claws moving like the wind, like a determined mole, advancing quickly.

"I am a mole, a mole, digging holes with great strength, great strength..."

Tang Tian hummed a tune as he advanced.

Tang Tian's Eagle Claw Technique improved rapidly, and he even suspected that the creator of this martial technique might have intended it for digging. His Eagle Claw Technique became increasingly sharp, with copper claws and iron hooks, and astonishing power.

With a slight wrist movement, his five fingers almost sank into the fog wall, and with a quick pull, he always brought down a large chunk of gray fog. If this were to hit a person, it would tear off a large piece of flesh and skin. Even Tang Tian, with his strong mental fortitude, felt a chill, knowing he would have to be on high alert when fighting someone skilled in the Eagle Claw Technique.

On the ninth day.

Suddenly, the sensation at his fingertips was extremely hard, and Tang Tian felt intense pain in his fingers, causing him to groan.

"Arrived." Bing's stiff voice came from behind.

These two words were like heavenly music to Tang Tian's ears, and his spirits soared. The pain from earlier vanished, and he laughed aloud, ignoring the sweat on his face: "Ha! I am indeed a god-like youth! Two kilometers! Two kilometers! I've done it! Oh, oh, even the Clock Gray Fog can't stop me!"

Tang Tian wiped away the thin layer of Clock Gray Fog, revealing a smooth and flat surface.

"Is it a door?" Tang Tian asked Bing excitedly.

"Uh-huh." Bing responded.

Victory was in sight, and Tang Tian was incredibly excited and full of energy.

A mysterious and ancient sealed new recruit training camp!

Oh, oh, it sounds like an incredibly powerful place!

The door to the treasure is about to be opened!

Tang Tian, filled with excitement, began to clear the Clock Gray Fog covering the door. However, after a long day, he cleared an area over three zhang high and five to six zhang wide, revealing a black door. The size of the door far exceeded
