Chapter 89

In a secluded corner, under the glaring sunlight, a dull bronze mechanical armor suit, with the audacity and recklessness of a young man, soared into the air.

The saber-toothed tiger leaped high like a large bird.

Soldier was stunned. His first reaction was: This move is unconventional, this move is unreasonable, this move...

He was a strict instructor, obsessed with the rigor of training. However, as his gaze followed the soaring saber-toothed tiger, the voices in his heart seemed to fade into the distance. He was slightly dazed, and the saber-toothed tiger, riding the sunlight in the sky, gave him the illusion that it was flying!

Soldier stared in amazement.

The heavy saber-toothed tiger began to descend. In the sky, Tang Tian's body stretched out, his arms raised high, one leg straight, the other bent. The ground rapidly grew larger in Tang Tian's field of vision, but he showed no fear or hesitation. His eyes blazed like fire, and a defiant smile bloomed at the corners of his mouth.

Puff!

Like a knife piercing tofu, the straight leg of the saber-toothed tiger plunged deep into the soil, up to the knee.

The saber-toothed tiger's figure remained motionless.

This guy...

Soldier stared blankly as the saber-toothed tiger, using its other leg as a pivot, pulled the leg buried in the soil out. The shock in his heart was indescribable. He had anticipated various outcomes, but none of them included what he was seeing now. He had never underestimated Tang Tian's potential, but...

He watched the bronze saber-toothed tiger calmly pull itself out of the soil.

To be able to achieve such perfection on his first attempt at a short-distance sprint was astonishing to Soldier. But what truly shocked him was Tang Tian's leap into the air. Tang Tian didn't know what his leap meant, but Soldier did. It had a specific name: "Ultra-long-distance jump." It sounded like a common name, and it was indeed a common training subject. However, when the distance exceeded two hundred meters, it became a different level of difficulty. This level of "Ultra-long-distance jump" required extremely precise control of strength.

Tang Tian's jump distance had already exceeded two hundred meters, to be precise, it was two hundred and twenty-four meters. Such a level, even in the old days of the military...

Soldier had never taught Tang Tian the "Ultra-long-distance jump."

This guy... is simply a freak...

Tang Tian had no idea he had done something impressive. However, being able to complete it in eight seconds made him immediately feel proud. If he were in a safe place, he would have turned his face and roared in Soldier's face to show off. But in this place, he could only proudly strike a pose like a strongman flexing his muscles.

Soldier's face turned black.

This scoundrel...

Fortunately, this guy wasn't under his command back then, or he would have definitely corrupted the atmosphere.

Soldier let out a cold snort, his face grim, and floated to Tang Tian's side with lightning speed.

"Old man, hehe, you must be shocked by the god-like youth!" Tang Tian said proudly. "Old men can't understand the power of youth!"

"Old man... hehe..." Soldier's laugh was full of murderous intent.

Tang Tian was startled by Soldier's murderous aura and quickly changed the subject: "Oh, we need to speed up, don't let that scoundrel get away."

With that, Tang Tian fled in the direction of the wall, under Soldier's killing gaze.

Climbing over the wall, as soon as he landed, Tang Tian's body suddenly stiffened. In front of him, a bronze mechanical wolf was staring at him intently. Compared to Tang Tian's bronze mechanical ostrich, this mechanical wolf was much smaller and more intricate. Its size was similar to a real wolf, with a bronze structure, sharp claws like knives, and a mouth full of sharp teeth that made one shudder. The bronze wolf's eyes glowed with a faint green light, making Tang Tian feel uneasy.

However, to Tang Tian's surprise, the green light in the bronze wolf's eyes gradually dimmed.

The bronze wolf turned and left.

At this moment, Soldier appeared beside Tang Tian like a ghost and said coldly, "This Lin family is really stupid; their mechanical beasts only recognize people."

Tang Tian, who had been on high alert, was almost startled out of his wits by Soldier's sudden words.

Shh.

Soldier put his finger to his lips, looking calm and composed, which made Tang Tian's roar get stuck in his throat.

Then he left with a graceful back view.

This old man... must have done it on purpose!

Tang Tian was so angry that his teeth ached, but this clearly wasn't the place to vent. He moved forward in a rage.

Mechanical beasts of various types roamed around, and as the saber-toothed tiger approached, they all showed signs of alertness, their eyes glowing green. However, the green light quickly dimmed.

Tang Tian found himself moving through unimpeded.

Suddenly, a voice came from ahead, and Tang Tian's spirits lifted as he quietly approached.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Every time I come to your residence, I am always amazed." Kong Youlin's gaze frequently swept over the bronze mechanisms around him.

"Brother Kong, you flatter me," Lin Jiang, the head of the Lin family, said modestly. He was around forty, with a lean appearance but sharp eyes, dressed in a blue robe. He smiled and said, "Compared to Brother Kong, I am nothing. Your swan armor is famous far and wide, even those of us in the Soul Zone have heard of it more than once."

Kong Youlin laughed heartily. "My level is truly embarrassing." He changed his tone and said lightly, "But my sister has already broken through to the eighth rank, which makes me, as her elder brother, feel quite ashamed!"

Lin Jiang was visibly moved. "If I remember correctly, Miss Yuyu is only twenty-eight this year, yet she has already reached the eighth rank. Such talent is truly astonishing! Congratulations, Brother Kong!"

Kong Youlin pretended to be self-deprecating. "Brother Lin, don't mock me. Being inferior to my sister, I am truly embarrassed."

However, there was a hint of pride in his words. His sister, Kong Yuyu, breaking through to the eighth rank meant a significant boost in the Kong family's strength, and he would naturally benefit from it. How could he not hear the warmth in Lin Jiang's tone?

"Brother Kong, you are just being modest. I wish I had a sister like that!" Lin Jiang said, feigning annoyance.

"Ha ha!" Kong Youlin laughed heartily.

At this moment, a young man suddenly burst in, shouting, "Father! Father!"

Lin Jiang's brow furrowed slightly, and he said sternly, "What is it, making such a fuss?"

If Tang Tian were here, he would recognize this young man as Lin Wei, one of the boys he had bullied before. Lin Wei, hearing Lin Jiang's reprimand and seeing the guests, quickly apologized, "Uncle, please forgive me, I was being rash."

Seeing Lin Wei's polite demeanor, Lin Jiang's expression softened.

Kong Youlin smiled warmly. "Is this your nephew? Indeed, a tiger does not have a dog for a son. He has a bit of your style, Brother Lin."

Lin Jiang's expression relaxed. "Come, greet your Uncle Kong!"

Lin Wei immediately stepped forward to bow.

Kong Youlin pulled Lin Wei up and said warmly, "Nephew, you must have something important to discuss. Go ahead, don't worry about me."

Lin Jiang waved his hand. "Brother Kong, you are being too formal. Speak, Uncle Kong is one of us."

Lin Wei, hearing this, said frankly, "The guy who rode the bronze mechanical ostrich has appeared again, but it seems he has teamed up with Sairei!"

"Sairei?" Lin Jiang frowned.

Kong Youlin was somewhat surprised. "Is it the bronze mechanical ostrich from the Southern Cross Corps?"

Lin Jiang, regaining his composure, nodded. "Yes, that's it. When my son saw it, he was amazed and wanted to buy it. However, the owner was extremely aggressive and forced them. Despite his strength, he also extorted them. This small grudge is not important to our Lin family, but Brother Kong knows that the bronze mechanical ostrich is significant to us. If we could see it, our mechanical arts would advance to a new level. If he is willing to part with it, our Lin family is willing to pay a high price for it!"

"Who would have thought that an ancient artifact from the Southern Cross Corps still exists in the world." Kong Youlin sighed in amazement, then comforted, "I support Brother Lin in this matter. Such a divine object, in their hands, is a waste. In your hands, it will surely contribute to the revival of mechanical arts!"

Lin Jiang said with feeling, "Brother Kong truly understands my heart."

"Others may not know your expertise, but how could I not?" Kong Youlin said. "The Weakness Arena, created by you, is highly praised even within the Martial Association."

Lin Jiang said modestly, "Brother Kong flatters me. It is my first attempt at such a creation. Has the Weakness Arena had any issues?"

"Ah, that is precisely why I am here." Kong Youlin said.

"Has the Weakness Arena had any problems?" Lin Jiang asked, startled.

"Brother Lin, you may not know, but the Weakness Arena no longer exists." Kong Youlin sighed, then explained to Lin Jiang and Lin Wei, who were both surprised, "Not long ago, I went to Wu'an Star to select a batch of new recruits. One of the new recruits challenged the Weakness Arena and actually triggered its explosion, destroying the [Gray Cat Pupils] and all the cards."

"Impossible!" Lin Jiang exclaimed in shock.

Kong Youlin recounted the events of that day.

After listening, Lin Jiang was silent for a moment before saying, "Brother Kong's speculation is likely correct. Apart from bloodline power, I cannot think of any other force that could cause the [Gray Cat Pupils] to explode. However, your association specializes in secret treasures, and bloodline power is of no use to you."

"Yes, oh, so he went to the Daleng Outer Camp." Kong Youlin said lightly, then smiled, "Such powerful bloodline power cannot fall into the hands of the Black Souls!"

Hearing about the Daleng Outer Camp, Lin Jiang was inwardly alarmed. This Kong Youlin was truly ruthless, but he said, "Brother Kong is truly kind-hearted, even giving him a chance to live."

"Ah, you know my flaw, sometimes I am a bit sentimental." Kong Youlin pretended to be self-deprecating, then said, "But this time, I am here to ask Brother Lin to help me create another Weakness Arena."

Lin Jiang showed a look of difficulty.

Kong Youlin had anticipated this. He knew that the previous Weakness Arena had taken a lot of Lin Jiang's time, but since he was here, he had a plan. He smiled and said, "I know Brother Lin is busy, and I have heard that the Lin family's mechanical beasts have been sold to distant constellations. This time, I have brought something good."

Kong Youlin looked very confident.
