Chapter 91

In the sky, a massive fireball burned fiercely.

Boom!

Flames enveloping the mechanical beasts rose into the air like a torrential rain, rushing one after another toward the huge fireball in the sky. Each flame that merged into the fireball made the explosion even more intense, the deafening sound of explosions never ceasing.

Amid the constantly surging and exploding fireball, Kong Youlin's voice of anger and defiance could be heard.

Boom!

An unprecedented explosion, a sudden burst of intense light like a solar explosion, turned the world into a blinding white. The ground beneath Tang Tian's feet trembled, and the shockwave swept like a hurricane, destroying houses as if they were made of paper.

The light dissipated, the shockwave faded.

The world fell silent, the sky empty and clear, as if nothing had happened. The elegant and princely Kong Youlin, whose power was so overwhelming it made one's heart tremble, seemed to have been erased from the sky, leaving no trace.

After a brief silence, the Lin family fell into chaos. Such a terrifying scene had actually occurred in the Lin family. What had just happened?

The high-ranking members of the Lin family all changed their expressions, their faces showing disbelief. They knew that the mechanical beasts would only launch a suicidal attack under certain circumstances.

The head of the family is dead!

Panicked figures rose from every corner of the Lin family, stepping on rooftops and frantically using their lightness skills to rush toward the main residence.

No one noticed that among these panicked figures, an unremarkable young man quietly slipped out of the Lin family.

The entire Three Souls City was thoroughly alarmed. Countless experts leaped onto rooftops and other high places, looking from afar. Those who had good relations with the Lin family hurried to help.

Amid the chaos, Tang Tian silently returned from the Wu Soul Temple to the military camp, then back to the energy fissure.

Back at the energy fissure, seeing the energy masses continuously spewing from the depths of the fissure, a light flashed in Tang Tian's eyes. Throughout the entire battle, he never engaged Kong Youlin, but Kong Youlin's power left an indelible impression on him.

If it weren't for the sheer number and suicidal attacks of the mechanical beasts, they would have found it difficult to pose a fatal threat to Kong Youlin. The powerful and solid true energy emitted by the 7th Rank martial technique, even from a distance, Tang Tian could clearly feel the danger that seemed to pierce the heart!

Even if he controlled the saber-toothed tiger, he would not be Kong Youlin's match.

"Hey, Uncle Bing, let's start the soul tempering, let's start!" Tang Tian said eagerly after setting his goal.

Bing looked at Tang Tian, the young man's eyes filled with anticipation and seriousness. He suddenly remembered the words Tang Tian had said before.

"Tomorrow. Rest for a day, and we'll start when you're fully recovered tomorrow." Bing did not agree.

"Why wait until tomorrow? Let's start now! I'm a god-like youth, full of energy, why do I need rest?" Tang Tian grumbled.

"You don't need rest, but I do." Bing didn't even look at Tang Tian, floating to a corner and closing his eyes.

"Physical strength is indeed the weak point of old men..." Tang Tian muttered.

Bing's eyes twitched. This vicious guy... But thinking about the suffering Tang Tian would endure tomorrow, his mood improved. Hmph, young man, tomorrow you'll know what it means to wish you were dead.

Seeing that no matter how he provoked Bing, he remained indifferent, Tang Tian could only retreat to the side and start cultivating true energy.

About an hour later, Tang Tian opened his eyes again, his true energy fully restored. Indeed, the energy fissure was worthy of its name; the efficiency of cultivating true energy here was astonishing. Tang Tian could clearly feel the progress of his true energy. Perhaps because he had just experienced a battle, this time the progress was more significant than usual.

Tang Tian thought of his spoils of war and took out the soul bead from his pocket.

"Hey, Uncle Bing, what is the soul bead used for?" he asked curiously.

Bing glanced at him: "Give it to Serei; she should have a use for it."

"Oh." Tang Tian was somewhat disappointed. It turned out to be something for a mechanical engineer. He casually tossed it into his water bottle weapon cabinet. The only spoils of war turned out to be something he couldn't use, and Tang Tian immediately felt some regret. He should have taken advantage of the chaos to loot the Lin family.

Such a good opportunity, and he missed it!

Defeating a 7th Rank expert was a glorious achievement, not something that just happened. He didn't loot the Lin family, and Kong Youlin didn't even leave any remains. That beautiful set of armor had turned to ashes, truly a pity.

Fuming, Tang Tian continued to cultivate.

"I wonder how Tang Tian is doing now?" Amoli muttered, shoveling food into his mouth. His plate was proportional to his size, three times larger than others.

Liang Qiu elegantly picked up a piece of vegetable, put it in his mouth, and slowly said after finishing: "Tang Tian's progress will definitely be fast. The outer camp won't be a challenge for him."

Han Bingning ate quietly, not saying a word.

Simaxiang Shan fussed with his plate: "The food in the canteen is getting worse. The beef isn't marinated well, the vegetables are overcooked, the seasoning is too heavy, and the salt is too much..."

Amoli shovelled food into his mouth, mumbling: "I think it tastes pretty good..."

"I've decided to talk to them at night." Simaxiang Shan frowned, picked a piece of vegetable, and put it in his mouth.

"The cooks have been changed three times." Han Bingning said coldly: "Don't cause trouble for the logistics."

"Or I could just kill them?" Simaxiang Shan said softly.

"I don't want to go without food for several days." Han Bingning put down her chopsticks and looked at Simaxiang Shan coldly.

Liang Qiu, who had just finished another piece of vegetable, looked over: "I don't want to either, and I think their vegetarian dishes are quite good."

Amoli picked up his plate and poured the food into his mouth. His large mouth was like a bottomless pit, and the mountain of food quickly disappeared. He got up, still hungry: "I'll get another serving. I like these cooks; they make plenty of meat, enough for me to eat."

Simaxiang Shan shook his head and sighed: "Well, what a pity. It seems I'll have to go out and find a better cook."

Liang Qiu, who always ate vegetarian, finished first, followed by Han Bingning. Amoli was struggling with his fourth plate of food.

"Minister will be going to Baihong Star in a while." Liang Qiu picked up a cup of green tea and said slowly: "It's said that many people from other branches will come. The minister has decided to select the accompanying members through a competition. There are eight slots for new members, to be selected from all the new camps in Perseus."

"Baihong Star!" Han Bingning's eyes lit up: "Miss Chihui is on Baihong Star!"

"Ah, will the outer camp participate? Tang Tian will definitely come!" Amoli put down his plate.

"He's probably already there." Simaxiang Shan said softly.

"Very likely." Liang Qiu said: "The outer camp is said to be loosely managed. Tang Tian can't resist and will definitely go to find Shangguan Chihui."

"Ah! I want to participate in the competition! I want to go to Baihong Star!" Amoli raised his arms: "Ha, I can fight with Tang Tian again. This time, I'll knock him down and show him my recent progress."

The others were not surprised.

The progress of the four of them was very rapid, standing out among the new members. Because of their existence, this batch of new members was considered the strongest in the history of the Perseus branch. However, among the four, the one who progressed the fastest was not Simaxiang Shan, Han Bingning, or Liang Qiu, but Amoli.

The speed of Amoli's strength improvement was astonishing. The instructor in charge of training the new members made an exception for Amoli, giving him various special treatments that even Simaxiang Shan and the others envied. With such special attention, Amoli's progress was even more astonishing, like a wild horse that couldn't be restrained.

Although he had not officially fought Liang Qiu, Liang Qiu no longer had the confidence to defeat Amoli.

Among the four, Amoli was considered the most likely to defeat Tang Tian.

Tang Tian's various extraordinary and unreasonable traits were deeply felt by them. Although they had also made significant progress, no one believed that the guy would progress less than them. Even though Tang Tian was in the outer camp with far worse conditions, when had his conditions ever been the same as theirs?

This was the truly abnormal aspect of the guy!

Thinking about meeting Tang Tian on Baihong Star, everyone's spirits were lifted, and they were full of anticipation for the trip to Baihong Star.

Everyone was a bit curious.

When they meet the abnormal Tang again, how strong will that guy be?

Tang Tian watched as Bing fiddled with the soul tempering device.

The soul tempering device was a bronze disk about ten centimeters in diameter, engraved with countless intricate patterns. Bing walked back and forth at the edge of the cliff, finally finding a spot where the energy masses were more concentrated, and placed the soul tempering device there.

As soon as the soul tempering device was placed on the ground, a series of rapid bronze mechanism sounds could be heard. Various bronze components popped out of the disk and embedded themselves in the ground.

One after another, bronze components popped out in layers, almost instantly expanding several times in size. The small soul tempering device bloomed like a bronze rose.

The enlarged soul tempering device resembled a small bronze platform.

The bronze platform was covered with countless intricate patterns, and a faint luster flowed between them.

"Stand on it." Bing said to Tang Tian.

"Okay." Tang Tian quickly stepped onto the bronze platform.

"Are you ready?" Bing looked at Tang Tian seriously: "The soul tempering process will be very painful, but no matter how painful it is, you must endure it!"

"I know!" Tang Tian's smile faded, and he said solemnly.

"You must remember." Bing said, emphasizing each word: "The greater the pain you can endure, the greater your achievements will be."

"Rest assured, Uncle, I am a god-like youth!" Tang Tian said without hesitation: "A man destined to become the strongest martial artist in the world!"

"Then you must endure the pain that others cannot." Bing said meaningfully.

Tang Tian grinned, showing his white teeth: "Let's go!"

The soul tempering device under his feet suddenly lit up.
