Chapter 94

Tang Tian was immersed in his cultivation, feeling an unprecedented sense of exhilaration that he couldn't shake off.

Uncle Bing said that his strength was still too weak, so the true power of the Silver Martial Soul couldn't be fully unleashed. However, the more than fivefold enhancement in intuition still brought a qualitative leap to Tang Tian's strength. He practiced tirelessly until Uncle Bing reminded him that the time for this intense training session was up.

Back at the crack, he continued to train.

After the enhancement in intuition, many things had changed. Many sensations that were previously overlooked were now vividly clear. Tang Tian, who had made no progress with the Heavenly Dragon Force, had a new discovery. He could feel the explosive nature contained within his true energy.

Finding a direction, Tang Tian became even more dedicated to his cultivation.

Three days later, Jing Hao came over again. His attitude toward Tang Tian was now completely different from before. If before he treated Tang Tian like a younger brother, now he treated him as an equal.

Seeing Jing Hao come over, Tang Tian stopped and said, "Brother Jing Hao!"

Jing Hao's face was filled with joy as he chuckled, "Brother Tang is truly diligent. First, I have some good news for Brother Tang. The higher-ups have decided to promote Brother Tang from a Black Iron Warrior to a Bronze Warrior. This is not only due to Brother Tang's contributions this time, but also because of his ability to condense a Silver Martial Soul at the Fourth Rank. The higher-ups are very surprised and believe Brother Tang has a bright future!"

Tang Tian smiled, "I still have a long way to go."

Seeing that Tang Tian wasn't too happy, Jing Hao realized that Tang Tian knew very little about the benefits of being a Bronze Warrior, so he explained, "The awarding of Bronze Warriors in the Martial Association is quite strict. Besides strength, one must also have sufficient merit. In more remote constellations, a Bronze Warrior can serve as the head of a department. Bronze Warriors receive three Sixth Rank Star Stones every month, can choose three Sixth Rank Silver Martial Soul Cards, or one Fifth Rank Gold Card. Moreover, Bronze Warriors are eligible to enter the internal exchange meeting of the Martial Association. Brother Tang now has over five thousand points, which is quite astonishing among Bronze Warriors. Brother Tang can purchase needed items at the exchange meeting, such as secret treasures, Martial Soul Cards, and Soul Cores."

"Is five thousand points a lot?" Tang Tian perked up.

Jing Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Of course, I only have less than seven hundred points."

Tang Tian responded with an "Oh."

"This is the reward from the Martial Association. Brother Tang can check it in your Light Token," Jing Hao continued, "The one who benefited the most this time is my teacher. My teacher is very grateful to Brother Tang. He originally planned to give Brother Tang a set of Silver Equipment, but upon learning that Brother Tang has inherited the Peacock Blue from Senior Ghost Claw, he changed his mind."

"Changed his mind..." Tang Tian's eyes widened, his heart bleeding. Silver Equipment, that was Silver-level equipment, and it had flown away without him even seeing it.

"Yes. My teacher said that although Peacock Blue is not well-known, it has great potential and room for growth. If used well, its power is not inferior to ordinary Silver Equipment. Therefore, my teacher hopes Brother Tang will cherish it. Considering this, my teacher decided to give Brother Tang a secret treasure he used in the past."

Jing Hao then took out a silver pendant with a shiny cylindrical object on it.

"This is the Silver Secret Treasure of the Syringe Constellation, called the Syringe Necklace. The Syringe Constellation is a small constellation, but this secret treasure is very practical," Jing Hao said, his words filled with envy. "My teacher heard that Brother Tang's true energy is only at the Fourth Rank, so he specifically chose the Syringe Necklace. The syringe is a pump, which can continuously draw energy from the surroundings, increasing the energy concentration by 15%."

After listening to Jing Hao's introduction, Tang Tian immediately beamed with joy, quickly grabbing the Syringe Necklace and putting it around his neck.

Indeed, Tang Tian could clearly feel the significant increase in the surrounding energy concentration.

What a good thing!

In an instant, Tang Tian judged the value of this item. True energy cultivation is a slow process, and a 15% increase may not seem like much, but over time, the difference would be astonishing.

Although Jing Hao was envious, he couldn't help but laugh heartily at Tang Tian's delighted expression.

But Jing Hao soon became serious, "There's something I think I should tell you. Kong Youlin is dead."

"Dead?" Tang Tian's eyes widened in surprise, not because he was surprised that Kong Youlin was dead, but because Jing Hao knew so quickly.

The Light Martial Association is indeed very powerful!

"Yep," Jing Hao's expression was solemn, "Although Kong Youlin was pragmatic, he was not weak. He had Seventh Rank cultivation and the Swan Song equipment set. This equipment set is no less powerful than your Peacock Blue, yet he was ambushed. The Martial Association is still investigating. His sister, Kong Yuyu, the head of the Perseus Constellation, has sworn to avenge her brother."

Jing Hao hadn't thought that Kong Youlin's death had anything to do with Tang Tian. Regardless, with Kong Youlin's Seventh Rank strength, the current Tang Tian couldn't pose a threat.

"Kong Yuyu?" Tang Tian repeated subconsciously.

"Yep, she has already broken through to the Eighth Rank," Jing Hao warned, "I know she has a conflict with you, but you must not provoke her. Eighth Rank strength is something you can hardly imagine now. The gap between Silver Warriors and Bronze Warriors is insurmountable, a fundamental difference in power. I'm telling you this because the Martial Association will hold a meeting in the White Rainbow Constellation, and you might encounter her."

Tang Tian knew Jing Hao was looking out for him and nodded quickly, "I won't be rash."

"That's good," Jing Hao nodded, "As long as you don't provoke her, she can't do anything to you. Hmph, our faction's strength is not something the Kong family can provoke. Focus on your cultivation and break through to the Fifth Rank soon."

After giving his advice, Jing Hao left, glancing at Bing as he went. Jing Hao had specifically asked his teacher, but his teacher had never heard of such a strange Martial Soul.

Tang Tian asked Bing, "Hey, Uncle, how strong is Eighth Rank?"

"Strong enough to turn you into ashes with ease," Bing said without looking at Tang Tian.

"Is it really that exaggerated..." Tang Tian exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, but quickly became serious, rubbing his chin, "It seems the young man cannot be complacent!"

Bing held back the words on the tip of his tongue, thinking that this guy had a bit of self-awareness.

Tang Tian suddenly remembered his Light Token. Jing Hao had mentioned that the points inside could be used to buy things, so he quickly took it out.

When he took out the Light Token, he exclaimed, "Huh?" The Light Token, which was originally like Black Iron, had now turned bronze.

"Amazing, it can change color!" Tang Tian exclaimed as he activated the Light Token. The Light Token was somewhat like a secret treasure, able to connect with one's Martial Soul. Tang Tian felt the scenery before his eyes change.

Tang Tian quickly found the exchange meeting, and a series of lists appeared before him.

Inside were all sorts of items, each with the required points marked. The most numerous were secret treasures, Soul Cores, and Martial Soul Cards. Tang Tian was interested in the Martial Soul Cards. He already had several secret treasures, which were more than enough. However, he was still lacking in Martial Soul Cards, especially Fourth Rank techniques.

The Gold Card Jing Hao gave him was Fifth Rank, which was far from meeting his immediate needs. Serei had given him two cards: one for the "Double Kick" and another for the "Four Heavenly Dragons," plus the "Eight Trigram Steps" from Jing Hao.

Punching techniques, palm techniques, finger techniques, and joint techniques, among others, he had to handle himself.

As he flipped through the list, he was soon surprised to find that none of the Martial Soul Cards were below Sixth Rank. After a moment's thought, he understood. Only Bronze Warriors could enter the exchange meeting, and their ranks would not be below Sixth Rank. Fourth Rank cards, being low-level, were not in demand.

However, the prices of these cards were not high. Most Fifth Rank Silver Cards required only one hundred points, and Tang Tian saw a Fifth Rank Gold Card that required only five hundred points. Thinking of his five thousand points, Tang Tian felt a surge of confidence.

After a quick look, he found a warrior who specialized in selling Martial Soul Cards. This warrior had the most comprehensive selection of cards, looking like a dedicated card seller.

Tang Tian sent a private message to the seller, asking if they had any Fourth Rank Gold Cards.

The seller quickly replied, saying they did.

Soon, Tang Tian indeed found several Fourth Rank Gold Cards at the exchange meeting, each requiring only two hundred points.

Tang Tian picked four Gold Cards at once.

"Vibration Punch," "Moon Hand Blade," "Bawang's Furious Finger," and "Clothing Touch Fall."

The Vibration Punch had similarities with the Small Collapse Punch, which Tang Tian felt suited him well. The Moon Hand Blade was a variant of palm techniques, with the palm resembling a moon blade. Bawang's Furious Finger was a very powerful finger technique with strong force. The Clothing Touch Fall was a very powerful joint technique, allowing the user to react instantly to the slightest changes in the opponent's strength upon contact.

Joint techniques were niche techniques, and the Clothing Touch Fall was a very famous joint technique. Unlike other techniques, its power increased significantly with the user's true energy. This meant that until the Sixth Rank, Tang Tian wouldn't need to learn a new joint technique.

In fact, this was not just the case with joint techniques.

In reality, the current martial arts system was a spindle-shaped structure, starting with basic techniques, rapidly expanding in variety as it progressed, and then rapidly decreasing in variety as it reached higher ranks. This was known as the convergence of all streams, where different paths lead to the same destination.

Any martial technique, when cultivated to a truly high level, would inevitably converge.

Obtaining the four Gold Cards, Tang Tian was extremely excited. Although he spent eight hundred points, he didn't feel any pain. These points had come easily, and Tang Tian didn't realize their value. Jing Hao, who had been in the Light Martial Association for a long time, only had seven hundred points, and the points Tang Tian spent today exceeded Jing Hao's entire fortune.

This was the first time Tang Tian was going to cultivate a Gold Card. What was the difference between a Gold Card and a Silver Card?

He couldn't wait to use the "Vibration Punch" Gold Card.
