Disappointed…
Yan Tu and Adrian both turned their heads as they focused their attention on Tang Tian. This fella was not normal. Tang Tian was certainly clueless to whatever they had said about him just now.
This fella…
Yan Tu looked upon Tang Tian and Crane. He could not understand why Crane, who was someone who possessed such strength and was the heir of a constellation, would submit himself to a second rate leader like Tang Tian.
Yan Tu understood that the aristocratic families were full of pride and it was difficult to obtain the approval from them.
After seeing Yan Tu gaze at him, Crane reminded him respectfully: “Just like how your majesty is the strongest martial artists amongst the three, do not underestimate this dim-witted fella. He is definitely the strongest out of us three. So be careful.”
Tang Tian burst out in excitement. Even Crane acknowledged that he was the most powerful of them. Even though he was slightly pissed at being called dim-witted, the happiness from being termed the most powerful of them all was overwhelming.
Tang Tian was the strongest among the trio…
Yan Tu and Adrian stood in a daze, they were startled, and so were the injured Ah Xiu and Liu Zhong Guang.
Crane was stern, without any intent of making a joke. But everyone’s attention was directed at the cheerful Tang Tian, and felt that it was extremely ridiculous.
This fella, was actually the strongest of them all!
What joke was he cracking?
“You are referring to this guy? Hahahaha!” Yan Tu burst out in laughter and he threw a condescending glance at Tang Tian: “Does his mother know that he is powerful then?”
The smile disappeared from Tang Tian’s face.
Mother…
His mother’s face suddenly reappeared in his mind as he continued to reminisce his mother’s presence when he was young. The day that she passed away, Tang Tian hid himself in a corner and could not stop crying. He was overwhelmed by despair and fear, but he soon conditioned himself to live through it. He would often sit beside his mother’s grave, telling her his feelings, his dreams and how he would deal with those people who ever dared to underestimate him…
That gloomy life…
The only person that could made Tang Tian feel at home and warm was his mum, the memory of his mother and the tomb.
Tang Tian stared blankly at the floor as tears gushed out from the corner of his eyes.
It had been long since he last stood beside mother’s grave and said farewell.
Mother, I know that you were looking at me from above.
Mother, I miss you so much… I really do…
“Bring it! Let me see what the most powerful martial artist among you all has to offer!” Yan Tu laughed condescendingly. “Do not disappoint me!”
Crane took a quick glance at Yan Tu before directing his attention at Jian Feng Yuan: “Let us settle it outside then.”
Ling Xu also took a quick glance at Yan Tu before turning back to Rong Rou: “Let’s go out and fight!”
To have trained to Yan Tu’s strength while possessing keen senses and analytical abilities, he felt disrespected for being looked at in such a manner.
His mind was set to destroy the brat in front of him and tear him into a million pieces!
Bastard!
“kekeke…”
A soft chuckle originated from Tang Tian’s mouth. It sounded like regret, encouragement or even commemoration.
Adrian was taken aback. This soft aspiration from Tang Tian doesn’t seem normal.
The cheerful teen who was laughing and bursting in joy just moments ago seemed to have turned into an individual laden with grief.
“I will not disappoint you.”
Tang Tian’s voice alerted Adrian from his musings. Tang Tian lifted his head. What surprised Adrian was that on Tang Tian’s face, there was no sign of grief, but pure cheerfulness and joy.
“Because this battle, is for my mother in heaven!”
Tang Tian let out a soft smile as he articulated each word clearly, reciting it to himself.
This is bestowed to my mother above…
This crazy reason incited the laughter of Yan Tu: “Hahahaha! To give this victory to your mother! To think about this, the last time I said such ridiculous things was when I was still seven years old.”
Yan Tu shook his head and couldn’t control his laughter: “I, the heir to the Ursa Major Constellation, had to resort to battling a kid like you. What a shame. It is time to end this.”
“It’s time to end this!”
Tang Tian nodded his head as he continued to beam in happiness. But his eyes were cold. That surprised everyone.
He started to charge up his strength as he prepared to battle!
Tang Tian gazed intently at Yan Tu. His strength was increasing rapidly, and so was his speed.
A wolf head appeared on his back and slowly drifted out.
The air around Tang Tian fluctuated and rippled. His immense energy coursed through his entire body.
Adrian looked intently at Tang Tian and could not believe his eyes.
Tang Tian was like a volcano with energy pulsating around him. Adrian could feel the intense burst of power within him. It was daunting!
Yan Tu smile froze as he witnessed Tang Tian’s development.
Tang Tians gaze was cold and his face suddenly seemed to be shrouded in shadows, becoming fuzzy.
It had been a long since he had such a deep yearning for victory!
In his view, the surrounding walls, tiles and roof all disappeared. He only had Yan Tu in his eyes.
He could feel an unknown energy that was pulsating within him. He knew that it was the Heavenly Martial Werewolf blood meridian.
The Heavenly Martial Werewolf blood meridian with a purity rate of 92%!
Yan Tu could sense the impending danger. He gave out a battle cry and charged up his strength. He crouched into an unusual position and lunged directly at Tang Tian.
There was a sudden burst of brown rays as a fearsome bear-like energy force charged towards Tang Tian.
Tang Tian did not retreat. He slightly withdrew his left leg and dug deep into the ground. He lifted both of his arms to his chest to prepare himself for the assault.
Yan Tu assault was a famous trademark of his, called the [Grizzly Bear Cull]!
Energy covered his entire body as he continued his charge forward, unleashing ripples of cold air forward. If there was a mountain right in front of him, it would have been blown to smithereens.
This was a killing technique famous in the Ursa Major Constellation. Only martial artists who had the strength and a muscular body were able to master the [Grizzly Bear Cull]. In a battle, the technique could destroy any city gates and sentries that were standing in its way.
Yan Tu had such a formidable strength and coupled with the Spirit Domain, his strike was being empowered even more by it.
The brown aura enveloping him had growing even stronger.
In Tang Tian’s view, he could only see the outline of Yan Tu’s shadow, which was shrouded by the brown aura.
Tang Tian maintained his gaze. Just when it looked like Yan Tu was about to collide with Tang Tian, Tang Tian suddenly burst into action.
He intertwined his palms as he unleashed his claw technique in an awkward angle, directed towards Yan Tu’s brown aura.
Yan Tu let out a cynical smile. Stupid, the brown aura that was surrounding him was as thick as 36 layers of True Power. It was called the [Steel Bear Skin]. A normal Ursa Major martial artist was only able to master this skill to the seventh or eighth layers, and it was already able to withstand the impact of a sword attack and was as valuable as a secret treasure. It was unbelievable for Yan Tu to even master to such a high level.
Pff!
Tang Tian’s fingers managed to pierce through Yan Tu’s aura like a knife cutting through tofu.
The smile on Yan Tu face immediately dissipated.
With a swipe of his arms, Tang Tian unleashed a force from all his fingers. A long bang ensued as the aura surrounding Yan Tu crumbled into pieces.
[Thousand Cleave Demonic Hand]!
Like a sandbag, Yan Tu’s body was flung across the room.
Yan Tu was shocked by the attack. He couldn’t understand what happened during that split second. His 36 layers of [Steel Bear Skin] had never been penetrated before. In the entire Ursa history, no one’s [Steel Bear Skin], who had reached 24 levels, had ever been destroyed before.
But, his Steel Bear Skin crumbled like sand after an attack by Tang Tian.
How was that even possible…
Suddenly, a shadow blocked his vision. Yan Tu subconsciously threw out both of his arms towards the oncoming attacker.
This technique, which he had just used against Adrian, was very effective.
The radiance surrounding his arms started to warp, transforming into a roaring bear head.
But Tang Tian’s fingers continued to pierced through the bear head at an awkward angle.
Bang!
The aura of death enveloping the Chief Bear started to crumbled like a broken mirror.
This was called the [Grizzly Bear Demise]. It possessed an astonishing amount of power and with a swing of it, Yan Tu could raze an entire city wall.
But…
Looking at how it’s brown aura was slowly dissipating, Yan Tu was once again surprised by it.
He had been training this traditional Mental cultivation technique of the Ursa Major Constellation since he was young. He was able to yield this technique with a much stronger power than his peers. Blessed with a strong physique, he was one of the only few to be chosen to master this technique.
Yan Tu bellowed and changed his palm technique once again, unleashing a force from his right elbow.
His shoulder attack barreled down like a large hammer.
Tang Tian’s fingers continued to sink into the aura. And with a sudden release of force, it managed to shatter the shoulder attack of Yan Tu!
Yan Tu then wielded his leg, which was shimmering with energy, and struck out at Tang Tian.
A white palm pierced through the aura of the leg attack, shattering it!
Yan Tu snarled. Without caring for his personal defenses, he frantically inflicted countless attacks towards Tang Tian.
Ping ping ping!
A intermittent burst of energy and the crisp shattering sounds of metal clanging rang out from the conflict.
In the brown fragments of aura, a nimble pair of hand and a demonic presence appeared.
The focused teen was completely unaware that his [Thousand Cleave Demonic Hands] would possess an additional implicit presence.
Yan Tu was like a beast who had been forced to a corner and had nowhere to run as he frantically unleashed waves of counter attacks against Tang Tian.
But all of his attacks had failed to penetrate the defences of Tang Tian.
As though there was an invisible web.
