Undefeated God of War
chapter-382

Translated by: Berrrybunz

Immortal Martial.

Chen Zi Lin stared down at the Unique Flagstone which seemed mystical. Within a short few months, there have already been 73 unique martial techniques that have been discovered. He had been guarding the flagstone for so many years but this is the first time he was witnessing this.

Was the world in chaos?

His heart mumbled, from the records and historical tales of Immortal Martial, Every time the world encountered a chaos period, the Unique Flagstone would light up or that the number of unique martial techniques appearing would multiply exponentially. It was the iron law of the Unique Flagstone.

There were 73 unique martial techniques that were discovered. 3 evaluated to be 3 stars, 15 were 2 stars and 55 were 1 star.

Chen Zi Lin was very familiar with the numbers collected. It was considered normal.

But within these number, the one that attracted his attention was not the 3 unique martial techniques that were ranked 3 star, but 2 unique martial techniques that were ranked 2 stars. They were the [Crane Rotating Sword] and the [Pointed Dragon Spear].

Chen Zi Lin expertise in unique techniques was deeply profound. In his eyes, behind all the names of these unique martial techniques was an era that would unfold with a magnificent scale, and had the brilliance of martial artists in that generation.

[Crane Rotating Sword], 2 star, No. 17226

[Pointed Dragon Spear], 2 star, No. 16894.

No matter how you look at it, the information from these 2 unique techniques would not not catch anyone’s attention. But for Chen Zi Lin, he knew that the 2 unique techniques were not normal.

Out of the 20,000 types of unique martial techniques, most of them are independent to each other. But there were some unique techniques that were closely related to each other due to their origin.

The [Crane Rotating Sword] had its origin from the Death Sword Dance, which was a 4 star unique technique and was very deadly.

While the [Pointed Dragon Spear] had its origin from the [Obscure Earth Spear], which was another 4 star unique martial technique which was equally deadly.

The discovery of these 2 unique martial techniques made Chen Zi Lin filled with excitement.

When he was bored, he would create a ranking system on his own of all the unique martial techniques out there. These 2 martial techniques were the top 10 strongest among all the 4 star unique martial techniques.

Chen Zi Lin felt that the other techniques were more average compared to the 2. Maybe only the [Wind Concealment Steps] could rival the prowess of the two 4 star techniques.

Chen Zi Lin also spent time in researching the key differences between unique and non-unique martial techniques. He also spent time to research on techniques that were qualified as unique martial techniques, and the Wind Concealment Steps was one of them.

In fact, new martial techniques that have just entered the ranking system were often much harder to be discovered than those martial techniques that had been around for centuries.

It was mainly because the predecessor from the past only aimed to create the skill while the other fighters aimed to pass on these martial techniques down through the generation.

Chen Zi Lin had grown numb by the sheer number of unique martial techniques emerging lately. Even the Immortal Martials were also not shocked by the increasing discovery of such martial techniques. Furthermore, as many more regions descended into chaos, the intelligence system set up by the Immortal Martials was also affected, causing the quality of their information gathering to falter.

Even though the chaos would make information gathering a tougher task, it would also make the intelligence gathered more valuable as it enabled fighters to make sense of the situation within the chaos.

Among the Immortal Martials, morale was up high.

However, this did not bother Chen Zi Lin since he was only a guardian of the Unique Flagstone.

During meal times, whenever the conversation topic was on Chen Zi Lin, it was always about him being the “person who would be the eternal guardian of the Unique Flagstone”, which was somewhat condescending.

He did not care.

*********************************************************************************************************

The war had just started.

Fairy City was not back in peace. Even though battles were intense, the citizens residing in the city were so accustomed to such explosions and chaos that those battles did not seem to affect them one bit.

But everyone was celebrating in joy when they heard that the Honorable Martial Group lost four Gold Ranked Martial Artists. The fights within the Fairy Palace were seen by only a few people. Even the battle between Crane, Ling Xu and Lu Hai was witnessed by only a handful of people.

But the battle between Tang Tian and Ji Xiao Ya, which took place at the heart of the business district, was witnessed by almost the entire city’s population.

No one will ever forget the battles cries Tang Tian unleashed during his entire fight duration with Ji Xiao Ya.

“Join the Onyx Soul?” Tang Tian shook his head: “I don’t want to.”

His entire body was bandaged up like a living mummy. It was Ling Xu who helped bandaged his wounds. Ling Xu was the best in terms of providing medical aids. Tang Tian was not gravely injured and his wounds were not deep. It was just the sheer number of cuts that shocked people.

“I too do not want to.” Ling Xu exclaimed in defiance.

“It looks like everyone has reached a consensus.” Crane already knew that that was going to be their responses: “I shall go and tell Tu Zi Shan. By the way, this was your spoils of war.”

Before Crane left the room, he pointed at the silver aquarius cabinet that was beside Tang Tian.

“Spoils!” Tang Tian gaped his eyes wide open as he crawled out of his bed.

Ling Xu was unconcerned by all these types of things. He left the room: “I will go back to training. Do not disturb me if it isn’t important.”

To have 2 buddies that do not see money as something important was not entirely a good thing. They did not even have the last bit of excitement nor were they enthusiastic about the bounty rewards they can reap from each fight.

Soon, the room was filled with his excited applause.

“Wow! It is a pair of Gold rank gloves!”

“Wow! It is a unique spirit card!”

The quality of the spoils of war exceeded Tang Tian’s expectation, especially the item that was retrieved from Lu Hai. Lu Hai only had two types of items, one was the different variety of gloves he had and a piece of a spirit card.

The one that captured Tang Tian’s attention was the Gold rank gloves and the piece of a unique spirit card.

The [Monoceros Gauntlet] was from the Monoceros Constellation that resided in the 10 Equatorial Palace Halls. It was made entirely out of gold and dazzled under the light. The gloves were wrapped in fish scales and had Monoceros horns sticking out of it while exuding a fearsome aura that shrouded the room.

This was the first time Tang Tian had seen a Gold Treasure and he was in awe by it.

Tang Tian cleaned the drool off his face from the excitement, his eyes becoming clear again, his face cooling down.

Gold treasures had intellectual spirits. To control it, one must first learn how to subdue it. With Tang Tian’s current strength, he was unable to control it. The Monoceros Gauntlet should have been prepared by Lu Hai for use in future battles.

After cautiously placing the gloves back into the silver aquarius cabinet, Tang Tian turned his attention to the unique spirit card.

[Thousand Cleave Demonic Hand], 2 star. This was a very special form of San Shou. San Shou came in different forms and it could utilize either the fingers or the palms depending on how the fighter wanted to use it. The Thousand Cleave Demonic Hand emphasized on cleaving, which could either be a soft or hard style of attack and comes in a variety of attacking forms.

However, Lu Hai was never fond of the Thousand Cleave Demonic Hand. Tang Tian realized that this spirit card was not suitable for Lu Hai as he was a fist technique martial artist. The reason he kept it for so long was to see if he could trade it for something else that could be valuable to him.

However, this unique martial technique was suitable for Tang Tian. His Fire Scythe Ghost Claw was a hard style of attack and did not possess a variety of fighting styles. Tang Tian could use the spirit card to augment the claw technique’s flexibility to increase its varieties.

For a moment, Tang Tian lost interest in the other treasures that were found on Lu Hai.

The treasures from Ji Xiao Ya were much less significant than Lu Hai except for the [Thunder Radiance Hammer], which was a unique spirit card that caught Tang Tian’s attention!

It was worth it for the amount of effort Tang Tian put in in killing the 2 Gold Ranked Martial Artists.

These 3 items made Tang Tian excited as they could not be bought by mere star coins.

The only regret was that there was not one that could teach him how to use hammer style attacks. Hence the Thunder Radiance Hammer had to be kept aside for now.

Tang Tian kept all the other treasures. He brought the unique spirit cards through the door.

“Tsk, such an infrequent visitor!” Bing exclaimed at Tang Tian gloomily, his poker face did not look kind.

Tang Tian thought about it. It was true that it had been a long time since he had been back. He was quite ashamed about it and replied: “Hahaha, Uncle Bing, let me tell you something awesome. I managed to kill off a Gold Ranked Martial Artist!”

“A Gold Ranked Martial Artist?” Bing replied indifferently.

“Yes yes!” Tang Tian was elated. His face expressed his arrogance from killing off a Gold Ranked Martial Artist.

“Then were you beaten into a pulp by the same Gold Ranked Martial Artist?” Bing let out a huge laughter: “Why the excitement just by killing a Gold Ranked Martial Artist. I thought that you had killed a Saint rank instead that’s you were so elated.”

Though it was just playful bantering with Tang Tian, Bing could sense the aura exuding from Tang Tian and was shocked by it.

In such a short time, Tang Tian had become so strong!

What a guy…

Tang Tian was already used to Uncle Bing’s bantering and indifference. He was not angry about it as he laughed at his statement: “Uncle, I also managed to retrieve 2 unique spirit cards. There is one that suits me a lot, known as the Thousand Cleave Demonic Hand. Doesn’t the name sound powerful already!”

“Yes it sure is.” Bing nodded: “It is suitable for demolishing buildings only.”

Tang Tian: “…”

No. 07 Army Barracks.

Tang Tian followed behind Bing while his eyes wondered around, glancing at the interior of the barracks: “Wa, Uncle, this place has changed so much. Did you do a spring cleaning while I was gone?”

“Spring cleaning…” Bing cringed his face: “You idiot! We have done restoration to the area. Restorations are difficult and challenging initiatives that requires a lot of actions!”

“Oh, It sure is impressive.” Tang Tian agreed.

No. 07 Army Barracks was now as good as new. Last time, it looked like it was in ruins. No, actually, it was ruins. Even though the interior still looked like a Bronze Jungle, all the buildings within were now clean and free of dust. Those rusted coppers that had been around for millennials were also removed.

The austere and dull barracks seemed to have been given a new lease on live after the restoration.

One could imagine the amount of effort Bing had invested in sprucing up the place.

“Uncle is very passionate about this place.” Tang Tian exclaimed

Bing suddenly stopped in his tracked. It was as if he did not hear what Tang Tian had said, and replied: “You are lucky. Even though many parts of the barracks are not restored yet, but those areas that facilitates your training have already been completed. But sadly, the Suicidal Room is still badly damaged from the last time you used it. If not, you could go ahead and try it once more.”

Tang Tian choked after reminiscing the previous time he used the Suicidal Room.

Bing spotted Tang Tian’s change of expression, and tried to cheer him up: “Think of it, the Suicidal Room might be scary, especially when you look at the number of martial artists who have died trying to use it. But if you talk about the pain inflicted by the Suicidal Room, the pain means nothing. Your training phases will soon teach you that as your pain reached a certain peak, you would become indifferent and unconcerned about death.”

Tang Tian was shivering within. He suddenly had a bad feeling about what was about to come.
