Undefeated God of War
chapter-128

Translated by: Ting

Hoo… … hoo… …

All Tang Tian heard was his bellow-like gasps, the bronze figure before him was swaying within his vision. The continuous battles had exhausted him mentally, but he did not give up.

He widened his bloodshot eyes, bent forward slightly, and stared at the bronze figure opposite without backing down.

The 122nd time.

Bronze figure number 1 had extremely great strength, and was skilled at close quarters combat, but it would be affected if there were other bronze figures around……

Bronze figure number 9 had no forte other than its strength and weight, and had a very slow response.

The multi-handed monster triplets 4, 5, 6, must never let each of them occupy three different positions, the best is to pull them into one straight line, this needs some plotting… …

Bronze figure number 11 was big trouble, with superb sword arts and especially precise attacks, for it could always find a loophole amidst the confusion and kill in a single shot. Tang Tian had fallen to this fellow’s sword multiple times, but Tang Tian also discovered, if he could close the distance and do close quarters combat, number 11’s prowess will be reduced sharply.

……

These were the experiences and knowledge that Tang Tian gained after a continuous 122 attempts.

[Great Monument Palm] was powerful, but the attacking speed was slow, suitable for terminating a battle, but not for a messy fast-paced battle. Coupling with the Heavenly Dragon Energy could be considered, for it can send a skinny bronze figure like number 11 flying… …

[Tan Tui] is highly agile, the leg akin to an axe, very domineering, coupled with Crane Body Energy, it should become sharp…… with the hands free, Concussion Punch could be used to disturb the other party. The difficulty level of coordinating both types of martial techniques was very high, but if he was able to do it, it should be quite formidable… …

[Scattering Vortex] was a small scope stick-on fight, very useful. Not very powerful, but it was fast, one whirlpool after the other, very useful in messy battles, but the shortcoming was that it was unable to kill in one shot, it can only be used for locking in a stalemate…… the final assault would end with Great Monument Palm, this combination can be tried……

[Staining Fall] has great improvements, but was still lacking… …

Tang Tian weighed the pros and cons in his mind, his stomach boiling with rage, but he knew that his abilities were lacking, and just courage alone would not help him win against these bastards.

He needs to think of something… … he never gave up and tried his best to plot.

Most methods had failed, but some methods gave him a glimmer of hope.

Again!

Tang Tian gritted his teeth as his legs kicked off strongly, his body was like a raging arrow, shooting straight towards the bronze figures.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The 156th time.

Tang Tian licked his lips. In the previous battle, he had successfully pulled the multi-handed monster triplets into one straight line and taken advantage of the situation to stick close to number 11, a blow of Great Monument Palm with Heavenly Dragon Energy embedded, sent these figures flying straightaway.

A pity he was tripped up by number 1, and his efforts were eventually wasted.

Scattering Vortex was indeed useful. If his hands could be faster, creating more whirlpools, forming a sea of whirlpools, tugging at the other party’s body, as long as the opposition exposed an opening, the Great Monument Palm would terminate the battle.

In this kind of messy battle, no matter how skillful one was with his techniques, it would all be useless, the crucial point was to take advantage of the opposition’s body.

Using Scattering Vortex to stick on the other’s body, for the other’s body will be the best shield.

Have to minimise the times one faces the enemies.

Hmm, bronze figure number 9 is the perfect big shield… …

The rhythm of concussion, if possible to change, then the effect of disturbance would be even larger, right……

Again!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The 193rd time.

Tang Tian squeezed within the shadows of bronze figure number 9, his left hand faking numerous tiny Concussion Marks, while the five fingers on his right hand strummed continuously at an incredible speed, numerous tiny whirlpools flicked out from his fingers and continuously flew to every corner behind number 9.

Bronze figure number 9’s massive body wobbled left and right, like a puppet on strings.

The body of number 9 was like an extra large shield, safely protecting his back.

Big Nine constantly bellowed angrily, waved his punches, stomped, but to an ever agile Tang Tian, it was totally useless.

On the contrary, Tang Tian borrowed Big Nine’s powers, and used the Scattering Vortex to drag it, in an attempt to make Big Nine lose its balance.

Tang Tian was extremely concentrated, his intrepid intuitions fully brought into play.

He started to be used to battling in such extreme conditions, regardless of whether it were Tan Tui, Scattering Vortex, Great Monument Palm, or Tyrant’s Angry Finger, etc. the techniques flowed smoothly like water, without any pause for thinking.

Intuition, instincts!

Suddenly, the multi-handed monster triplets pulled apart, and stood on one end each, making a formation, trapping Big Nine in it. Whilst bronze figure number 1 broke free from Tang Tian’s entanglement, and jumped out of Big Nine’s area.

Tang Tian was stunned, this was… …

The other bronze figures no longer attacked as a whole, but stood their own positions, clang clang clang clang, the weapons in their hands were thrown towards Big Nine simultaneously.

Tang Tian’s expression changed, he understood immediately.

Big Nine hugged his head and squatted, since he has thick skin and flesh, but he did not move.

This group of bastards… …

The attacks rained down in torrents, Tang Tian clamoured for safety, which was an extremely embarrassing sight.

Without warning, an attack suddenly came from below Big Nine, like a venomous snake in the shadows, it gave a deadly attack.

Tang Tian froze, and was pricked by the sword.

Failed!

When he retreated from the Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures, he gritted his teeth. That damned 11!

He should have made Big Nine move, so that they were unable to hold their positions… …

Number 11 was too crafty, I must find an opportunity to get rid of it… …

Again!

Sai Lei was a little surprised, Tang Tian had not come out for days. Just that every few hours, there would come a moment of angry bellows and howls from where Tang Tian was practising.

What was this fellow doing?

However…… he was indeed a hot-blooded teen… …

Sai Lei unconsciously revealed an understanding smile at the corner of her mouth. Tang Tian was the most extraordinary person she had met in years. He never hid his ambitions, and he was always that over-confident.

Although sometimes, he was too haughty for one’s liking, she must admit, among all the geniuses she has met, she was most in favour of Tang Tian. In the very least, Tang Tian never complained that he was tired.

Upon thinking of the martial spirit contract she had signed with Tang Tian, she felt that she would be able to realise what she dreamt of. Her own destiny, had been tied together with this fellow.

“What progress have you made?” Suddenly, Bing’s voice came from behind her.

Sai Lei jumped in shock, turned around, saw that it was Bing and was stunned momentarily, “Don’t you need to practise with him?”

“No need.” Bing shook his head. Recalling Tang Tian’s training these few days, he really felt there was no need for him to be around. Initially, he was still thinking of giving pointers to Tang Tian, as he was the Chief Instructor of the Southern Cross Army, and he had unique analyses of the battles. But very soon, he realised: Tang Tian was continuously attempting new methods.

Although with most of the methods, he could tell at a glance that they would fail, he did not step in to interfere.

Having Tang Tian plot by himself, and having him give pointers, these two ways were completely different in helping Tang Tian to grow. Bing knew deep in his heart that such qualities of continuous reflection were extremely rare.

Many soldiers obey orders, but not many reflect, and during his term as an instructor, those soldiers who always reflected had great accomplishments eventually.

“What about these mechanical weapons?” Bing’s gaze fell on Sai Lei.

At the mention of mechanical weapons, Sai Lei was immediately perked, she had been immersed in these mechanical weapons for very long in this dark place, finally she could speak about them to a like-minded person, thus she started to blabber instantly.

“Extremely good! Southern Cross Army was indeed the golden age of mechanisms, these mechanical weapons have many mechanisms which are now lost, extremely intricate.” Sai Lei was exultant, “Look at these joints, the joints are now more intricate, but their functions are not as practical as these joints.”

Hearing these compliments, Bing did not seem happy, instead he frowned, “Then in your opinion, can these mechanic weapons adapt to current battles?”

Sai Lei pondered, “Low rank and mid rank battles, they should be able to serve their purpose, but for high ranks, they would not be suitable anymore.”

Bing finally expressed some interest, “How so?”

“Mechanical weapons are able to release large amounts of True Power, and strengthen martial techniques, which also means that they need to be able to withstand True Power. But high level True Power is highly destructive, which normal materials are not able to withstand. I have analysed this Southern Cross Bronze, it can withstand True Power only till level eight. True Power above level nine, they are unable to withstand.” Sai Lei spoke incessantly.

Bing declined to comment, “These mechanical weapons are just normal standard equipment, for the use of normal soldiers. The mechanical weapons that experts used will not have such situations of unable to withstand True Power occurring.”

“That’s right.” Sai Lei did not rebut, she continued, “However, let’s look at other sects, the weapons they use when they are at high levels. Treasures, Silver Grade Treasures, the martial spirit would already be extremely powerful, let alone the Gold Grade. The crux is, it is smarter. The power of the blood meridians of the Onyx Soul is similarly extraordinarily strong, those shocking blood meridians are like a massive treasure vault. Their bodies can be trained to a shocking state. The Clan Union’s Spirit General Research, although their spirit generals are odd-shaped, they are equally powerful. Look at some of the most mainstream sects now and you will discover, at the high levels, they would all have a common trait of relying more on their martial spirits.”

“Relying more on martial spirits?” Bing seemed to be deep in thoughts.

“Yes.” Sai Lei seemed familiar, “Treasure Martial Spirits, stimulation of blood meridians is also closely connected to martial spirits, and even more so for the Spirit General Research. Because, regardless of whether it is the power of the body or the mechanism, there will be a limit. Only the power of martial spirits has greater flexibility.”

“I understand.” Bing suddenly comprehended, “Combine mechanism and martial spirit.”

“Yes, but I now discovered, this problem is not that simple.” Sai Lei laughed bitterly, “I need to fully digest these techniques before it is possible. This is a massive project.”

“No hurry, take your time.” On the contrary, Bing seemed rather patient, he recalled another matter, “Oh right, there’s a matter that I need your assistance with.”

“What matter?” Sai Lei asked.

“Please reform a Bronze Mechanical Ostrich.” Bing explained, “The antiques of the Southern Cross Army are still too eye-catching. I hope you can reform it into a style that is suitable for present day, so that no one will ever link it with the Southern Cross Army.”

Sai Lei understood, and was instantly excited, “This is very simple. Haha, let me think, what style should I change it to? It must be swag! I have an idea… …”

Sai Lei muttered to herself, and then totally ignored Bing, getting to work on her own.

Bing did not disturb, in his eyes, mechanics were always like this.

Suddenly, he froze.

Bing’s eyes flashed a look of shock, swoosh, he suddenly vanished.
