Chapter 82

A fierce light flashed in Tang Tian's eyes. His right fist clenched into a hammer and he slammed it down forcefully.

The fist, enveloped in green flames, struck the arrow without any pretense.

A powerful force surged from the fist, and Tang Tian grunted, using this force to propel himself into the air, shooting upwards toward the ceiling! The strength of the arrow was roughly as Tang Tian had anticipated, with the power of this arrow almost equivalent to that of a fourth-rank martial artist. The force was extremely strong, and if not for Tang Tian's clever use of force, this blow could have pierced through his fist.

However, the greater the force, the greater the benefit of using it to one's advantage. With this force, Tang Tian leaped extremely high. The ceiling rapidly grew larger in his eyes, and just as he was about to collide with it, Tang Tian's fingers, like hooks, plunged into the ceiling.

The momentum suddenly stopped, and his body pressed tightly against the ceiling.

Tang Tian roared, exerting his arms, and shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, clinging to the ceiling.

He then repeated the process.

Tang Tian became increasingly composed and agile. The power of the Small Collapse Fist was sufficient, making it perfect for changing direction. The Shadow Shattering Palm, which created over a dozen shadows with each strike, could interfere with the flight of the arrows. Tang Tian's movements were surprisingly agile, his strong physical strength, flexible and resilient body, all the result of five years of basic martial arts training, now showing their immense value.

He moved like a nimble cat, incredibly fast.

The soldier on Tang Tian's back was inwardly amazed. Many of Tang Tian's ingenious methods were beyond his imagination, yet he could not help but admire them. He truly could not understand why the usually dull Tang Tian became so smart and agile in battle. The new recruits he had handled in the past, although individually more powerful than Tang Tian, were far less adaptable in the face of danger.

This guy is simply born for battle!

How far will you go?

The soldier on Tang Tian's back felt a growing anticipation. The Thousand Arrow Passage is not that easy to pass.

This is just the beginning...

Tang Tian soon discovered that the strength of the arrows had become even more powerful, their density more astonishing, and their angles more devious. Tang Tian's movements became more awkward.

However, in the soldier's eyes, he saw more. Under the threat of danger, Tang Tian's potential was rapidly unleashed. Although his movements became more awkward, his unnecessary actions rapidly decreased, and under the pressure of the enhanced attack rhythm, his movements became increasingly concise.

The more concise and varied movements gradually took on a pleasing quality.

Indeed, worthy of being a Tang!

Even the soldier could not help but inwardly admire.

Tang Tian's basic martial arts were already nearly perfect, but he had never faced such an extreme situation. The beating training in the new recruit camp, although intense, was still just training compared to the constant threat of death. Under the extreme pressure of danger, Tang Tian had to make his movements more reasonable and concise!

After the initial awkwardness, Tang Tian gradually steadied himself.

Although his speed had slowed considerably, he still moved forward resolutely.

Tang Tian's physical strength and true energy were rapidly depleting.

Wait!

The soldier's admiration turned to surprise as he suddenly noticed that Tang Tian was beginning to allocate his physical strength and true energy. This truly surprised him! For new recruits, the easiest mistake to make was not knowing how to allocate physical strength and true energy, and the key to this was something only veterans possessed.

Tang Tian was actually starting to figure it out on his own.

What a strong combat IQ... This guy is really a born warrior!

The soldier found it hard to associate the alert, sharp, and combat-intelligent person in front of him with the usually single-minded, dull, and stupid Tang Tian.

...Is this the real Tang Tian...

The soldier became somewhat excited, as if witnessing a piece of jade being polished, revealing its brilliant luster! The soldier had never underestimated Tang Tian. Tang Tian's ferocity, resilience, stubbornness, arrogance, and rebelliousness were all qualities the soldier greatly admired. But today's Tang Tian still shocked him.

Tang Tian was unaware of the turmoil in the soldier's heart. He had not been so awkward in a long time, and the arrow rain at the end of the passage seemed endless. Even though he had started to allocate his physical strength and true energy, they were still rapidly depleting.

Bang!

A punch hit the arrow.

His strength was waning, and he was instantly thrown back as if grazed by a charging rhinoceros. In a panic, he flipped his fingers and plunged them into the bronze wall, hanging from it.

The bronze arrows gave him no respite.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The sound of arrows breaking through the air was continuous.

Tang Tian gritted his teeth, mustered his remaining strength, curled his body to dodge several bronze arrows, and with a push from his arms, barely moved forward.

Tang Tian could no longer remember how far he had advanced, as his brain became hazy and confused due to physical exhaustion.

Watching Tang Tian stagger forward, the soldier remained silent, but a faint light appeared in his palm.

He was waiting for Tang Tian to completely give up before taking over.

In such a dire situation, the longer Tang Tian could hold on, the more he would gain. The experience gained from such battles was extremely precious, far more valuable than training. It would not directly increase your rank or martial arts, but it would genuinely enhance your strength.

With the same level of strength, a person who has faced life and death will have stronger combat ability and a higher chance of survival.

Tang Tian's reactions had slowed significantly, and his movements were barely managed, with dangerous situations arising frequently.

The soldier was ready to intervene at any moment.

However, time passed. Despite appearing staggered, slow, and on the verge of collapse, Tang Tian did not fall. Although dangerous situations often arose, he still moved forward tenaciously.

This guy...

The soldier's surprise grew, this is... combat intuition!

Tang Tian's reactions had slowed, but he often narrowly avoided being hit by the bronze arrows at the last moment.

Many people think intuition is innate, but as the chief instructor of the Southern Cross Corps, the soldier knew that intuition is also honed. Tang Tian had been training his intuition, which he had known for a long time, otherwise, Tang Tian would not have been able to endure the beating training for so long.

But, this guy's combat intuition has grown to this extent...

The soldier felt that today he was destined to be shocked by Tang Tian, because when he came to his senses, Tang Tian had already completed the Thousand Arrow Passage!

He... He completed the Thousand Arrow Passage...

The soldier stared at Tang Tian in a daze. With no bronze arrows flying, the danger was over, and Tang Tian fell backward, landing on the ground, sweat splashing.

The soldier, floating in the air again, stared at the exhausted and sleeping Tang Tian on the ground, unable to speak for a long time.

This guy...

"Mom, when I grow up and become a man, I will definitely protect you!"

"Mom, I will definitely find that bastard, beat him up, and drag him in front of you to repent!"

"Good! Chiharu, we have a deal! I will definitely find you!"

"Chiharu, I will definitely become stronger, no matter how far the path is, I will not break my promise!"

...

Tang Tian opened his eyes groggily, as if there were still some sounds echoing in his mind. What he saw was the bronze ceiling intricately carved with beautiful patterns.

Wait!

Tang Tian jumped up, "Ah, Uncle Bing, Uncle Bing!"

"Hmm, you're awake?" Uncle Bing's voice came from behind.

Seeing Uncle Bing, Tang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, but after a while, he looked puzzled, "Hey, why did I fall asleep?"

"Oh, I guess you were pretty tired." Uncle Bing said casually.

"I guess so." Tang Tian also remembered some of the previous events, but suddenly his eyes twitched, and he turned around, pointing at Bing and shouting, "You actually dared to call me a rookie!"

"Did I say anything wrong?" Uncle Bing mocked, "Just one person in the Thousand Arrow Passage, and you're already so awkward? Tsk tsk, this Thousand Arrow Passage used to be breached countless times every month. Oh, I remember one time, it broke because it was used too much. The mechanic had to come and repair it. What a waste of time."

But in his heart, Uncle Bing silently thought: But each of them was much higher in rank than you...

Tang Tian, hearing this, was momentarily stunned, then sneered, "What's so great about that? This is the first time! When I come again, I will definitely beat it!"

"Since you have the energy to brag, it looks like you've recovered." Uncle Bing said indifferently, "Let's continue then."

Tang Tian got up and suddenly felt something hanging from his hair. He touched his head and found something. When he grabbed it, it turned out to be Yaya, the little creature hugging a bow and arrow, fast asleep, with its little belly still rising and falling. Tang Tian shook his head and casually put Yaya in his pocket.

"Are there more traps ahead?" Tang Tian asked, still a bit wary.

"What? Scared?" Uncle Bing's voice was somewhat mocking.

Tang Tian jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, glaring at Bing, "Scared? Bastard, trying to provoke me? Come on, let's have a good fight!"

Uncle Bing ignored him, treating Tang Tian as if he didn't exist, "It seems your energy has recovered pretty quickly."

Tang Tian snorted, somewhat smug, "That's right, a god-like youth, you can't understand!"

Not far ahead, a bronze door appeared.

What a smooth bronze door!

The entire door was polished to an extraordinary smoothness, like a mirror. Tang Tian ran to the mirror, posing in various ways, looking very smug. Yaya, somehow awakened, was immediately attracted by the mirror-like bronze door, and climbed onto Tang Tian's shoulder, mimicking his poses.

"Hey, kid, you look pretty cool!" Tang Tian praised, then added smugly, "Indeed, a master like me must have a pet like you!"

Yaya excitedly did a few somersaults on Tang Tian's shoulder.

The soldier ignored them and walked straight to the door, feeling around for a while.

Tang Tian curiously watched Uncle Bing's actions out of the corner of his eye, but he could not see what Uncle Bing was doing.

The door creaked open, and after such a long time, not a single mark was left on the mirror-like bronze door.

Then, Tang Tian was stunned by the scene in front of him.
