Chapter 98

Looking at the eighteen bronze figures in front of him, Bing made these bronze figures seem even more terrifying, which made Tang Tian even more eager to try.

His eyes roamed over the bronze figures, as if he were picking out the best in a slaughterhouse. The eighteen bronze figures seemed unaware of Tang Tian's gaze, standing silently with a cold bronze luster, exuding an unusually solemn atmosphere. Despite there being only eighteen bronze figures, Tang Tian felt an indescribable sense of solemnity and killing intent.

Tang Tian's expression gradually became serious. He frowned, widened his eyes, and stared at the bronze figures in front of him.

With a cautious look, he slowly stepped forward.

Click!

A bronze figure on the opposite side seemed to suddenly awaken from a deep sleep, its joints moving. Then, it raised its head, and two stars seemed to light up in its empty eye sockets. This bronze figure had a well-proportioned body, arms reaching to its knees, large palms, and a smooth, round head like a square bronze ball. Its features were very rough, indicating that its maker did not put much effort into them, but this gave it a primitive and rugged charm.

On the chest of the bronze figure, the number "1" was marked.

Tang Tian then noticed that each bronze figure had a number marked on its chest. He pursed his lips.

Slap!

Bronze Figure No. 1 kicked off the ground, shooting forward like an arrow, suddenly lunging at Tang Tian.

"Hey!" Tang Tian exhaled and shouted, punching forward. An invisible wave hit Bronze Figure No. 1.

The powerful force from his punch made Tang Tian grunt. He slid backward several meters as if on ice.

Click, click, click!

A series of dense joint sounds entered Tang Tian's ears. He quickly raised his head and saw that the other bronze figures had all awakened from their sleep.

Tang Tian's scalp tingled. Without hesitation, he shouted, "Hey, old man, you're too shameless..."

Before he could finish, a dozen bronze figures rushed at him from all directions, like fierce tigers pouncing on their prey.

In a moment, he was surrounded on all sides. Tang Tian was shocked and prepared to charge out, protecting his head. But when he saw through the gap in his arms, a bronze figure like a tower, no, a bronze tower, Bronze Figure No. 9!

Tang Tian's eyes fell on the bronze legs of Bronze Figure No. 9, which were thicker than his waist. Just as No. 9 stepped on the ground, a loud thud echoed, and the ground trembled violently.

Tang Tian was stunned. "Oh my God!" Without a word, he turned and ran backward.

Swish, swish, swish!

Three bronze figures appeared in front of him like ghosts.

Bronze Figures No. 4, 5, and 6 formed a triangular position, but...

Tang Tian's eyes widened again.

The three bronze figures were like three bronze porcupines, covered in arms, densely packed. What made Tang Tian gulp was that the weapons on these arms were all different. The three bronze porcupines blocked the way, not even letting light through.

This direction was no good either...

Without a word, Tang Tian charged to the left.

Fortunately, the bronze figures on the left looked more normal, with body shapes similar to Tang Tian's. The young Tang Tian's courage surged, and he shouted, "Wah!" as he charged forward!

He had to break through the encirclement!

Bing, that bastard, was too shameless! Tang Tian had thought that in the Eighteen Bronze Figures Room, the bronze figures would come one by one, but unexpectedly, all eighteen rushed at him at once.

Too thuggish... Too outrageous...

After just one punch with Bronze Figure No. 1, Tang Tian knew that these bronze figures were extremely powerful. One-on-one, he might not even win, let alone with eighteen coming at him at once, which left him with no chance of victory!

Although Tang Tian liked fighting, he had no interest in a fight he was destined to lose.

"The first rule of the Eighteen Bronze Figures Room, summarized by the new recruits with blood and tears, is never to run away," Bing said, floating in the air with a sinister tone.

Bang, bang, bang!

Tang Tian felt punches all around him.

He had no time to react, and everything went black.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Move! Idiot! Don't just stand there!"

"What about your Sticky Fall? Idiot! Don't you know how to use it?"

"Pay attention to the force! Pay attention to the opponent's force! React faster! Are you not eating?"

...

Bing's roars were constant, mixed with the sound of Tang Tian being hit by the bronze figures. Bing looked very excited, his long-dormant training enthusiasm bursting like a volcano. Poor Tang Tian was the only one to bear the brunt.

For ten consecutive days, Tang Tian struggled in the storm of the Eighteen Bronze Figures Room.

"Waste! The highest record for new recruits in the Eighteen Bronze Figures Room was breaking through on their second entry. How many days have you been here?"

"Counterattack! What are your hands for? Just for defense? I absolutely cannot tolerate a new recruit under me who only knows how to defend. A man must use his fists to greet the enemy!"

"How many times do I have to remind you? Sticky Fall!"

...

After a furious tirade, Bing seemed to feel tired and stopped.

Floating in the air, he quietly watched Tang Tian struggle below. His poker face returned to calm, and he gazed at the young man's disheveled figure. Although Tang Tian's performance was not spectacular, Bing was full of hope.

Any new recruit entering the Eighteen Bronze Figures Room was at least at the sixth level.

Tang Tian was the first to enter at the fourth level.

Young man, keep it up!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

When Jing Hao woke up, the first thing he saw was Tang Tian, with a bruised and swollen face. He was shocked, "Brother Tang, what happened to you?"

Tang Tian's eyes twitched, but unfortunately, his eyes were also swollen. He forced a smile, "Ah, I overdid it during training."

During the ten days in the Eighteen Bronze Figures Room, he had no idea how many times he had been beaten. He felt it was a miracle that he was still alive. Due to the excessive bruises, even Bamboo Bee King Gel couldn't completely heal them, leaving Tang Tian with a bruised and swollen face when he appeared before Jing Hao.

"Overdid it?" Jing Hao looked puzzled, unable to imagine how much overdoing it would result in such a state. But Jing Hao was a straightforward man and didn't like prying into others' affairs, so he didn't ask more, just inquiring, "So, Brother Tang, are you still coming for a sparring session?"

Tang Tian gritted his teeth, "Yes!"

In this sparring session, Jing Hao immediately noticed a difference in Tang Tian.

In previous sparring sessions, although Jing Hao found Tang Tian's defense challenging, he always dominated. The sparring was like a defense drill, with Jing Hao attacking and Tang Tian defending, with Tang Tian almost entirely focused on defense, unable to counterattack.

But today's Tang Tian was different. He was still in a defensive position, but his defense had a strong counterattack intent. Although his counterattacks were often preemptively interrupted, Tang Tian's improvement surprised Jing Hao.

In just one night, Tang Tian had made such significant progress!

Jing Hao became very curious and used his full strength without thinking.

Tang Tian felt the pressure increase, but compared to the Eighteen Bronze Figures Room, it was still a world of difference. In the Eighteen Bronze Figures Room, it was a struggle with no hope, but facing Jing Hao, even with the increased sword light, Tang Tian did not collapse.

After ten days of intense training and being beaten, Tang Tian had started to develop a habit of counterattacking. Although he was still far from perfect, it made Jing Hao take him seriously.

This sparring session lasted longer than any previous one, with Tang Tian holding out for twenty minutes before losing.

Jing Hao's breathing was slightly disordered, and he was astonished. In previous sparring sessions, he would feel tired, but this time, the level of fatigue exceeded all previous sessions.

This guy... is really unpredictable...

Tang Tian still had a grin, looking energetic.

Noticing Tang Tian's gaze, Jing Hao bluntly said two words to discourage Tang Tian from another round, "Meditate!"

Seeing Tang Tian reluctantly start to meditate, Jing Hao sighed in relief. He was still wary of Tang Tian's relentless attacks. This guy was a physical freak, seemingly never tiring.

Both of them meditated to recover. An hour later, the fully recovered Tang Tian jumped up first.

Tang Tian was about to challenge again when he heard faint voices. He exclaimed, "Someone!"

At that moment, Jing Hao also opened his eyes and stood up. His face changed, and a hint of killing intent appeared. He lowered his voice, "Prepare for battle."

"Battle?" Tang Tian's eyes widened.

"Not our people. The camp people, I fear..." Jing Hao didn't finish, his face filled with even more killing intent as he quietly flew toward the crack.

Tang Tian was stunned. When he realized what was happening, his face darkened, and he followed Jing Hao without hesitation.

The people in the camp...

Voices came from outside the crack.

"I thought the Light Martial Association guys were something, but their level is really poor!"

"Only that bald guy could be considered tough."

"Even the toughest bone was broken by you, Brother Strong!"

"Ha ha!"

...

Jing Hao's eyes were filled with killing intent.

Those words also entered Tang Tian's ears.

The young men in the camp had little interaction with him. Tang Tian couldn't even remember their names. The only one he was familiar with was the bald guy, Biao, whom he had beaten up. Even with Biao, Tang Tian had little interaction. The only thing that left a deep impression on Tang Tian was the Green Sandalwood Arm Ape incident. Despite his fear, Biao still came over cautiously to help him.

This made Tang Tian feel that Biao was actually a decent person.

But...

"... Coming here is tough, but we can enjoy the treatment of Black Iron Warriors, and our families can be taken care of. Anyway, I have poor talent and no future. Earning some benefits is enough to face my family..."

Biao's face, filled with satisfaction, appeared in Tang Tian's mind.

Tang Tian's fists clenched tightly.
