Tang Tian carefully caressed the Soul General Card in his hand. This was his first martial skill Soul General Card. The Soul General Card was about the size of a poker card, very thin, and had a strong metallic texture, being both hard and flexible.

The figure of the Soul General on the card was blurry and slender, standing empty-handed, but exuded a chilling aura.

Second-stage martial skill, he could finally cultivate a second-stage martial skill!

Tang Tian felt a bit excited, took a deep breath, and calmed his excitement.

His eyes returned to a calm state, and he urged his true energy, infusing it into the Soul General Card in his palm. The bronze-colored Soul General Card suddenly emitted a faint light, and the Soul General on the card seemed to come to life, making the chilling aura several times more intense.

Suddenly, the Soul General Card transformed into a beam of light and entered Tang Tian's body.

Tang Tian's head buzzed as if it was suddenly stuffed with many things. Caught off guard, his mind went blank. But soon, he broke free from the daze, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. The information that had been stuffed into his head seemed familiar yet strange, a completely contradictory feeling that was indescribably odd.

Suddenly, a burning sensation came from his palm, and Tang Tian immediately regained his senses.

Looking down, he saw that the cross mark on his palm had appeared out of nowhere.

"Huh?" Tang Tian was a bit surprised. Before he could react, a suction force came from his palm, and the things that had been stuffed into his head were suddenly sucked out.

The sudden change almost made Tang Tian cry out in shock.

When he came to his senses, his face changed slightly.

Damn!

The bronze plaque wouldn't have erased the Soul General Card he had obtained with great effort, would it?

Thinking of this, Tang Tian's eyes twitched, and without a word, he focused his mind on the bronze plaque.

The surroundings quickly darkened, and the cross light gate reappeared before him. But when Tang Tian's gaze fell on the light gate, he was stunned. The Soul General Card that had just disappeared was now on the gate. Although the slender figure was blurry, Tang Tian recognized it at first glance.

However, the aura emitted by the slender figure was much stronger than before, many times over.

The cross light gate, with the vertical line of the cross as the boundary, had a gray figure on the left that looked very much like himself, and a blurry, slender shadow figure on the right.

On the left, the gray figure was indifferent, while on the right, the shadow figure was dangerous and fierce.

Tilting his head, he observed for a while.

Two words suddenly popped into Tang Tian's mind:

— Door God!

The two figures on the door were like a unique version of the Door God, even their expressions were extremely fitting!

Tang Tian grinned and laughed, finding his idea both interesting and fitting.

But after laughing for a while, he couldn't laugh anymore. The Door God was indeed fresh and interesting, but the thought of losing the Soul General Card he had obtained with great effort made his face turn sour.

Suddenly, Tang Tian slapped his forehead. He remembered that when the gray figure appeared, it had fought with him. Could this shadow figure also want to fight with him?

Tang Tian's eyes sparkled, eager to try, with no trace of fear in his heart.

Although the other party's aura was exceptionally fierce, for Tang Tian, who knew no fear, it only made him more excited.

"Hey! Young man... no, old man!" Tang Tian suddenly extended his right finger, pointing directly at the shadow figure on the gate, and shouted with wide eyes: "Want to fight?"

The shadow figure on the light gate showed no reaction.

The method was wrong...

Tang Tian muttered to himself, took a few more steps forward, and almost pressed his face against the gate, his eyes bulging as he stared straight at the shadow figure, muttering: "Hey, little guy, are you scared...?"

The method was still wrong...

Without thinking, Tang Tian reached out to pat the shadow figure on the gate.

When he patted, his hand fell into empty space.

Tang Tian stared blankly at his arm, which was half inside the gate, feeling a very strange sensation in his palm. The light gate was like a soft, fine net, and his arm, which had sunk into the gate, seemed to stretch the net.

But strangely, countless pieces of information seeped into his arm and entered his body through the net.

Wait a moment...

Tang Tian's eyes suddenly widened, a look of surprise flashing in them. Wasn't this the information that had been stuffed into his head when the Soul General Card entered his body?

So you guys came here!

Tang Tian grinned, trying to push his arm deeper. More information seeped into his body. Seeing this, he pushed harder, eventually squeezing his entire body into the gate.

When half of his body was embedded in the gate, a strong suction force suddenly appeared inside the gate. Before Tang Tian could react, he was sucked into the gate.

Tang Tian felt a sudden darkness, followed by a faint light.

His field of vision was gray and hazy.

Hmm, Tang Tian looked around and found himself on the black mirror ground behind the light gate.

When Tang Tian's attention fell on the lines, a familiar feeling immediately rose in his heart. He lowered his head and looked at his fist.

What a strange feeling... it was as if he had practiced the Flash Punch for a long time.

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Tang Tian tried to throw a punch.

Whoosh!

The fist seemed to suddenly disappear in the air, and Tang Tian felt a flash before his eyes, and the fist reappeared, breaking through the air.

What a powerful Flash Punch!

Tang Tian's spirits lifted. With his rich fighting experience, he immediately realized that encountering such a punch in a real fight would be very troublesome.

"Soul General Attachment, attachment time: 3 days."

"You are as weak as an ant, your talent is poor, you are as humble as dust, you are empty-handed, sweat is your only weapon, and you have no time to waste."

Many red words floated in Tang Tian's gray field of vision. He was curious at first, but when he saw the last sentence, his fist suddenly clenched!

That's exactly right!

He had already fallen far behind others, and only by working harder and more diligently than others could he see hope!

Tang Tian's mind was filled with the thought of cultivation. He no longer thought about the mysteries inside the bronze plaque; over the years, he had long been accustomed to the cold, jumping numbers.

"Jiang Tian, keep it up!"

Tang Tian raised his fist and shouted loudly, encouraging himself.

His face was full of fighting spirit and seriousness.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Sweat slid down his cheeks, and Tang Tian panted desperately, his breathing heavy and labored, like a bellows. His face was pale, his arms could no longer be raised, and his legs felt as if they were filled with lead.

More than two hours of continuous cultivation had almost drained all his strength. He sat cross-legged, running the Qi Nourishment Technique, and the warm qi gradually nourished his body.

An hour later, his fatigue disappeared, and he jumped up, starting his cultivation again.

The characteristic of the Flash Punch is "flash," where the fist suddenly disappears and reappears, often hitting the enemy.

The speed of the Flash Punch is astonishing, requiring extremely high instantaneous explosive power. In addition to the explosive technique of the arm muscles, it also requires the use of the waist and abdomen, and coordination with footwork.

The most difficult part is the change in rhythm. Only with ultra-fast speed and sudden changes in rhythm can the true Flash Punch be thrown.

The Flash Punch is only one stage higher than the basic punch, but the techniques and difficulty involved are much more complex. Similarly, its power is far beyond that of basic martial skills.

With the Soul General Attachment, Tang Tian quickly found the feel of throwing a punch. Although he couldn't make it flash with every punch, he could successfully do it with five or six punches.

The Soul General Attachment has a time limit, and he had to use this time to strengthen his body's memory. Only in this way could he avoid reverting to his original state after the attachment disappeared.

During the Soul General Attachment, Tang Tian inherited the creator's understanding of the Flash Punch. However, this understanding was forcibly infused, and to convert it into his own, he had to continuously practice and ponder during this time.

Tang Tian didn't dare to waste time and focused on carefully pondering.

With the experience of predecessors, learning martial skills became much easier. Teachers could not impart the feeling of cultivating martial skills as directly as Soul General Cards. The widespread use of Soul General Cards was directly related to their unique features.

The bronze card's Soul General Attachment lasted the shortest, only three days, while the silver card lasted a month, and the gold card could even last a year.

Tang Tian continuously tried to throw punches, carefully feeling the techniques, completely absorbed.

Punch after punch, the sounds of his shouts echoed.

Continuously throwing punches, continuously pondering, continuously consuming physical strength, and recovering through meditation, this cycle repeated. The space behind the light gate was magical; although one would feel tired and exhausted here, there was no hunger.

Three days passed unnoticed.

Tang Tian's body suddenly trembled, and the familiar yet distant feeling suddenly disappeared.

He raised his head, his expression somewhat dazed, and exhaled a long breath. This was the first time he had cultivated for such a long time, and for three days, he had not rested for a moment except for meditation.

He spread his palms, unable to believe that he could achieve this!

Snap!

His fist clenched, a smile spread across his lips like ripples, and he grinned, revealing his white teeth, his face bright like the sun.

Raising his arms high, Tang Tian embraced the sky, shouting with all his might.

"Tang Tian! You will become stronger! You will definitely become stronger!"

Suddenly, a line of red text appeared before his eyes, and Tang Tian was stunned, lowering his arms to read it carefully.

"Flash Punch, second stage, required number of successful Flash Punches to master: 200,000. Required number of successful Flash Punches to master the killing move: 400,000."

"Hard training session activated, duration: 10 days."

This is...

Tang Tian was stunned but quickly reacted. When cultivating basic punches, one needed to complete 200,000 perfect punches to complete the cultivation.

There's a killing move!

Tang Tian became excited.

The bronze card was the lowest level, and many details of martial skills were very blurry, and the understanding it contained was the most superficial, so the bronze card could not master a killing move. Only silver and gold cards could include killing moves.

Unexpectedly, this light gate could master a killing move!

A killing move is a good thing; the power of any martial skill's killing move is much higher than that of its ordinary moves, and some killing moves can even match the ordinary moves of a higher-stage martial skill.

As for 400,000 Flash Punches, Tang Tian didn't take it seriously at all. Being able to learn a killing move with just a bit of hard work, where could one find such a good deal?

What a great deal!
