Chapter 63

Listen to the Bronze Furnace拳套!

The blue flames, unexpectedly, carried a bone-chilling coldness. It was unknown whether it was due to Tang Tian's own refinement, but the bronze martial soul of the glove was connected to Tang Tian's mind. Tang Tian's confidence soared, and he felt a sudden enlightenment, suddenly shouting, "Furnace of Heaven!"

Whoosh!

The blue flames suddenly surged, spreading along Tang Tian's arm, and in the blink of an eye, enveloped both of his arms.

Tang Tian's figure flickered, and his right claw shot out like lightning. An indescribable sense of freedom came from his wrist, as if there was no restraint, light and nimble as if there was nothing!

A blue lightning bolt streaked through the air!

The speed of Tang Tian's claw was so fast that it was no less impressive than the [Lightning Kill].

This made Tang Tian unexpectedly delighted. All along, [Lightning Flash] had been his fastest attack method, but its power was too small for the current Tang Tian. Tang Tian's original Eagle Claw technique was already quite astonishing in speed, and now it had become even more terrifying.

Double claws in rapid succession!

A series of dazzling blue lightning bolts suddenly appeared in the air.

Ding ding ding!

Sparks flew as the soul general was forced back by Tang Tian's powerful attacks.

However, the master-level claw technique was evident. Although at a disadvantage, it was flawless, and Tang Tian's fierce and relentless attacks did not bring any fatal blows.

What a formidable claw technique!

Tang Tian couldn't help but think of the Soul Spear. After the battle with Zhou Peng, Tang Tian specifically learned about the life story of the spear master Yang Yun, and he secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, the soul general card in Zhou Peng's hand was only made when the Soul Spear was young, at a time when the Soul Spear had just gained some fame, and his spear technique was only just taking shape.

But the soul general before him, although not of a high rank, had a more seasoned and formidable claw technique, with no flaws at all.

Both sides fought with speed, and countless sparks burst forth.

Without the Bronze Furnace glove and the Crane Body technique, if they were to compare claw techniques alone, Tang Tian would be far inferior. The soul general's claw technique was so refined that it left Tang Tian in awe.

But this only further ignited Tang Tian's competitive spirit.

The piercing screeches in the air suddenly disappeared, and the blue claw shadows became a light hiss like a venomous snake's tongue.

Sss sss sss!

Ding ding ding!

The blue lightning-like claw shadows were incredibly powerful. Although the soul general blocked Tang Tian's attacks, the force transmitted through, and its figure involuntarily retreated.

Tang Tian immediately noticed this detail and had an epiphany. Generally, those who practiced claw techniques were not known for their strength. They mostly focused on finger and wrist strength, rarely using their full body strength. However, Tang Tian's physical condition was very well-balanced. Although his raw strength was slightly inferior to a brute like Amory, his technique for generating power was more perfect and pure. With a perfect foundation in power generation techniques, Tang Tian could quickly mobilize his full body strength.

What if he integrated his full body strength into the Eagle Claw technique?

With this thought, the movements of Tang Tian's hands began to change subtly.

Tang Tian's Eagle Claw technique began to change in style, becoming more open and expansive, the cold aura gradually fading, and instead, a more dignified and righteous flavor emerged.

The sound of their fingers and palms colliding immediately changed, becoming a series of metallic clangs.

Tang Tian's fingers and palms were like hammers, using brute force to break through the skillful techniques. The soul general, already at a disadvantage, faced Tang Tian's unreasonable attacks and became even more disheveled.

Tang Tian was completely immersed in the new Eagle Claw technique, continuously channeling his full body strength into his claws. The originally hissing claw sounds became deep and resonant, and the new claw technique, though with fewer variations, was even more powerful.

However, soon, Tang Tian realized that although he had completely suppressed the soul general, breaking through its defense became abnormally difficult.

Suddenly, Tang Tian remembered the changes in the soul general's rhythm. The soul general's attacks were sometimes light, sometimes heavy, and mixed with feints, making Tang Tian want to spit blood. Tang Tian began to mimic the soul general, his attacks becoming sometimes light, sometimes heavy, and sometimes fast, sometimes slow. The soul general became even more disheveled, and its previously flawless defense immediately showed gaps.

Seeing the soul general's defeat was inevitable, suddenly, a bright red light appeared in the soul general's eyes.

Tang Tian felt a sudden warning in his heart, and his expression changed.

Without hesitation, he quickly retreated!

Five streaks of bright sparks suddenly appeared before Tang Tian's eyes.

The soul general's five fingers swept through the air, and the tips, moving at an astonishing speed, actually produced bright sparks from friction with the air!

This was a killing move!

An unprecedented danger enveloped Tang Tian. As he retreated, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. Almost without thinking, Tang Tian suddenly shouted, his eyes glowing with intense light, and his entire body's true strength was channeled to the limit. He raised his right claw, the fingers closing like a bird's beak, and struck sharply.

[Eagle Strike]!

The killing move, refined by integrating the Crane Body technique, instantly erupted. A dazzling blue claw mark suddenly appeared from the air, accurately striking the soul general's iron scythe claw, which had produced a streak of sparks.

Thud!

The soul general was struck as if by lightning. It had previously expended a large amount of true strength, and Tang Tian's sharp and powerful [Eagle Strike] delivered a fatal blow.

The soul general suddenly exploded in front of Tang Tian, and countless martial soul fragments, like willow catkins blown by the wind, scattered in the corridor, vanishing at a visible speed.

Tang Tian stood in the empty, silent corridor, and for a moment, a sense of sadness welled up in his heart. From the soul general alone, it was evident how formidable this predecessor was in finger techniques! After a person's death, their martial soul would dissipate, but this predecessor's martial soul had transformed into a soul general, guarding this place, which must mean there was an unfulfilled wish.

Tang Tian muttered to himself, "Predecessor, please rest assured, I will not disgrace your martial techniques and treasures!"

He didn't know what the predecessor's wish was, but he could only express his respect in this way. Tang Tian's expression returned to a serious and solemn one, and he took a step forward, turning to walk deeper into the corridor.

After walking about 400 to 500 meters, a stone cave appeared before Tang Tian.

The first thing Tang Tian saw upon entering the cave was an object in the center that immediately captured his attention, unable to look away.

A complete set of bronze armor was quietly placed there. Despite the passage of time, it was still as clean and new as ever, without a speck of dust. Tang Tian could feel its powerful aura; this was the first time he had seen a bronze armor.

"This is the Peacock Constellation Bronze Armor, its name is [Peacock Blue]." A voice suddenly came from behind Tang Tian.

Tang Tian shivered and quickly turned his head; it was Jing Hao.

Jing Hao looked calmly at the bronze armor and said indifferently, "Although the Peacock Constellation is not a major constellation, this armor is a fine example of bronze armor. I didn't expect it to be in the hands of Senior Nong."

He noticed Tang Tian's wary expression and said, "Don't worry, I won't take it from you."

"Why?" Tang Tian was taken aback.

Jing Hao said indifferently, "I have my own armor."

Tang Tian immediately beamed, "Ah, that's great!" and then ran straight toward Peacock Blue.

Jing Hao remained motionless, saying to himself, "Armor is a bit different from other treasures. It contains more powerful energy, and taming it is not easy..."

His words trailed off as he watched, dumbfounded, as Tang Tian began to hurriedly put on Peacock Blue.

How could this be...

Armor isn't that easy to tame...

Why isn't the armor reacting at all...

Staring at Tang Tian, Jing Hao's expression was strangely odd. Armor is one of the most complex treasures, and only with a sufficiently powerful constellation can it be nurtured. Therefore, the power of armor is the strongest, but it is also extremely difficult to tame.

Jing Hao clearly remembered that it took him a whole month to tame his own armor.

This guy...

For the first time, Jing Hao felt a sense of jealousy.

"Wow, it's really powerful! I can feel a surging power!" Tang Tian suddenly exclaimed.

Hearing Tang Tian's exclamation, Jing Hao looked up, and his expression froze.

Suddenly, countless lights appeared under Tang Tian's feet.

Tang Tian closed his eyes and focused intently.

In the light, the surface of the bronze armor began to melt.

This... this...

Jing Hao's mouth gaped open in shock as he watched the scene unfolding before him.

As the surface of the armor melted like wax, patterns gradually appeared on the previously smooth surface. The patterns became more numerous and complex. The originally rigid and angular edges quickly melted, transforming into graceful curves.

A brand new Peacock Blue appeared before his eyes.

The originally bulky armor became more streamlined. Each piece was engraved with exquisite blue patterns, like the feathers of a peacock, layered and overlapping, forming a perfect work of art. The slightly upward-curving shoulders did not hinder Tang Tian's movements at all. Whenever Tang Tian moved his limbs, the patterns would ripple like flowing water, creating beautiful blue waves.

Tang Tian was extremely curious. He could sense that the power contained within the armor had become even stronger.

What a powerful martial soul!

Tang Tian could feel that the martial soul within the armor was exceptionally powerful, even more so than the martial soul of the glove!

"The martial soul is awakening..."

Jing Hao, with a dazed look, muttered to himself. Suddenly, his body shook, and he realized, "I understand, Senior Nong has recognized you!"

His voice was filled with shock, admiration, and disbelief. Jing Hao had long known about this place, and the reason he hadn't come was that he practiced sword techniques and had no interest in finger techniques. But seeing the newly transformed Peacock Blue on Tang Tian, he suddenly felt a bit regretful.

"Ah, Senior Nong recognized me?" Tang Tian smiled widely, "Wow, as expected of a formidable predecessor, his judgment is so precise! He must have seen at a glance that I am a worthy young man! Hahaha!"

Jing Hao's expression froze, and he felt a sense of "the world is too absurd" at the thought that such a guy could be recognized by Senior Nong.

The smug Tang Tian stopped laughing and, remembering Jing Hao's exclamation, asked curiously, "Oh, right, what does it mean for the martial soul to awaken?"
