“If you want to train on the unique martial techniques, there is no other place better than this.”
Behind Bing was a square door. As Bing pushed open the door, Tang Tian let out a soft gasp.
Behind the door was an open ocean!
The sapphire-colored ocean was calm with no waves in sight. It looked like a gigantic mirror that spreads endlessly without any boundaries. In the horizon, clouds were floating above the calm seas.“So beautiful.” Tang Tian exclaimed, his eyes filled with the oceanic blues. How could a big ocean like this fit into a small doorway?
“This is called the Indigo Mirror Room. Each of the rooms is a doorway to this large ocean.”
Bing was in a daze, as it brought back a few memories “Do you still remember the place you found me?”
“Yes, it was a large ocean similar to this.” Tang Tian recalled: “I remembered you saying that it was called the Ocean of Exile. “
“Yes.” Bing looked into the horizon, admiring the beauty of this vast ocean: “The army has 4 oceans, the Ocean of Exile, the Indigo Mirror Ocean, the Prairie Fire Ocean and the Ocean of Peace.”
“The Ocean of Exile. The ocean of endless shackles, a place where sinners are trapped.”
“The Indigo Mirror Ocean. The ocean that divides fantasy and reality, a place to reflect.”“The Prairie Fire Ocean. The ocean of energy, where tens of thousands of souls flourish.”
“The Ocean of Peace. The ocean where we all return to, where the spirits rest forever.”
“This sea, is the Indigo Mirror Ocean.”
Bing’s voice echoed through vast ocean.
Tang Tian fiddled with his jaw. It seemed to have trembled by the deep voice of Bing. He then looked down at the ocean and pointed: “Uncle, can we drink the water from this ocean?”
Bing, who was reminiscing the past years and reliving the glory days that he once had, was taken aback by this statement.
“It looks so clean. I feel like drinking from it.” Tang Tian licked his lips.
Bing cringed. It was needless to reply to Tang Tian, which would have seemed foolish anyway. He ignored Tang Tian’s comments and continued with his statements.
“Would it be very salty?” Tang Tian wondered to himself and he dipped his finger in to get a taste of it.
Bing had enough of it and shouted: “Get out now!”
Bing could not stand Tang Tian’s nonsense and slowly walked away in a fit of rage.
“Hey Uncle, you haven’t explained to my how the Indigo Mirror Ocean can be used to help me train the unique martial techniques!”
Tang Tian voice echoed from the back of Bing.
Bing let out a cheeky grinned and replied: “You just have to throw the unique spirit card into the ocean. That should do the trick.”
Want to play with me, you had no chance.
I would teach you a lesson, making sure that you remember to respect your elders, especially your mentors.
Have fun enjoying your time there then…. I would want to see what happens next to you.
Bing closed the door behind him.
Tang Tian was surprised as the door disappeared behind him. He was now surrounded by a vast ocean.
“Wow, that was magical!”
“Just throwing in the unique spirit card will do.” Tang Tians excitement slowly built up as he threw the card into the ocean.
As the card slowly descended into the bottom of the sea, the ocean remained still. Suddenly, the card burst out in radiance, with light rays piercing out through the ocean’s surface.
The figure within the card slowly drifted out from it.
The greyish figure suddenly grew brighter, radiating out a variety of other colours. The flat figure gradually increase in size, coming into life.
Crash!
A man emerged from the ocean.
The man donned a grey military robe and looked about 40 years of age. His nails were as white as snow.
The ocean surface turned back to a smooth indigo mirror. The man stood silently on the surface, with his grey eyes staring down at Tang Tian.
“Who are you?” The man asked.
Tang Tian was taken aback. He did not know what to say. Moments later, he just replied: “I am Tang Tian.”
Once he finished, he thought about it. Shouldn’t he be the one asking the same question to the guy instead? He quickly blurted out: “Hey, who are you?”
“I am Zhou Yu, the Thousand Hand Demon Monarch.” The man replied coolly: “Let me see your strength.”
Once silence enveloped the area, Tang Tian lost track of where Zhou Yu went.
Hey hey hey, wasn’t this my line that you stole…
Out of the blue, Tang Tian could feel a grey shadow charging towards his vision. Tang Tian was shocked, so fast!
He knew that he was in danger. Without hesitating, Tang Tian activated his Fire Scythe Ghost Claw.
Suddenly, countless hands could be seen unleashed towards him. It pushed him out of his rhythm. He could feel his fingertips touching his enemy’s palms. But before he could unleash his full power, his enemy had disappeared once again.
Tang Tian was surprised. It was the first time he encountered such a swift evasion of his attack.
Normally, the power of his Fire Scythe Ghost Claw should be unleashed once his fingertips gently touched his opponents. But at that point in time, Tang Tian was very sure that his fingertips did touch his enemy’s palm!
What was weird was that his attack power was not unleashed.
His inability to unleash his attack power made him feel distraught. How was that possible?
At this moment, he saw that the shadow of his enemy’s palm was within the striking range of his claw attack. He was anticipating his strike. It seemed like there was no escape for him!
Tang Tian unleashed his full force, crunching his fingers to expose his sharp claws as he charged towards his enemy’s palm.
Sparks shrouded Tang Tian’s vision. The white palm of his enemy seemed to possess magical capabilities. With a fast striking rhythm, the enemy used his fingers and stroked out at Tang Tian’s claw technique like torrential waves.
Bang bang bang!
The noise of the clash between their 2 attacks enveloped the vast ocean and sparks flew everything. Slowly, the speed of attacks from both parties started to die down.
Every time Zhou Yu managed to strike Tang Tian’s finger, part of the energy from Tang Tian’s finger would dissipate. He could feel the power of his claw technique gradually eaten away.
How could this be happening…
Tang Tian was stunned.
The nimble arms of Zhou Yu, like 2 intertwined snakes, struck out at Tang Tian.
Bang!
Tang Tian was hit as he flew backwards. At the corner of his eyes, he could see Zhou Yu was pursuing him as he was forced back by his attack!
Wei wei wei…
The shadows of hands were again unleashed by Zhou Yun, blurring Tang Tian’s vision.
Ba ba ba, Tang Tian felt like he was struck by countless shadow attacks and his body shuddered under the torrent of attacks.
Boom, Tang Tian plunged into the ocean as waves rippled across all sides.
How sweet that was…
Outside of the doorway, Bing was there as he lit a cigarette he got from somewhere. As he took a deep puff from it, coughing in agony by the pungent smoke that travelled down his windpipe.
He was just starting to get use to the taste of it. He just leaned on the door, slowly puffing his cigarette away.
He wondered what previous generals would do as they smoked their cigarettes. As his mind wandered, the smoke engulfed his face. But one could see a soft grin carved out on his lips.
He discovered this cigarette while he was cleaning up the barracks. It might have been Ah Cai who had left it there. Only that addict could have thought of building a room to keep his cigarettes at the cost of significant star coins. He remembered Ah Cai stated that this room would keep his cigarettes safe even after thousands of years. After people starting to know about this room, they all laughed at Ah Cai’s initiative.
Everyone knew that Ah Cai was a bootlicker. Every cigarette smoked by the general was created solely by him.
Bing remembered a lot of people and a lot of other things as he smoked his cigarette away.
He was starting to get used to the loneliness as all his comrades were long gone, gotten used to the emptiness of the barracks, gotten used to the picking up of memories through the ruins.
Fortunately, there was the fool, Tang Tian, to keep him company.
If the general was still here, he would have been fond of the fool, Bing thought.
As he snuffed out his cigarette, he recollected his attention.
Time for work.
He stood up and started walking out.
With a unique spirit card, it would definitely help in achieving his plan. Using the barrack’s Spirit Hall, there was a good chance that they could obtain a strong Spirit Military Leader with that card.
Tang Chou’s tactics on invading Fornax Constellation had already been handed up to Bing days before. Bing could not deny that the plan was well formulated. The chance of success were very high.
Even though there was no direct passage to the Fornax Constellation from Mo City, but they could pass through Eridanus Constellation first and make their way to Fornax Constellation from there. If their speed was fast enough and had the element of surprise with them, there was a high chance they could invade the constellation within a short period of time.
Bing had different perspectives compared to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian might not know where his future would take him, but Bing was confident with him. Every day, Tang Tian would shout that the answer can be found by finding Qian Hui who was residing in the Southern Cross Constellation. But what Bing saw, was an extremely strong and formidable martial artist in him.
This guy would not take failure as an option, was brave and courageous. Most importantly, he was willing to work hard for it.
Bing could see Tang Tian fulfilling the role as a general of the army.
Bing was without a doubt. In the future, Tang Tian would be much better than he could ever be. Tang Tian was destined to become one of the ultimate martial artists in the universe one day.
Compared to Tang Tian’s ambition, Bing’s was much smaller – To rebuild the Southern Cross Army.
Even though in the current generation, martial artists were the ones who possessed the greatest power, he was very determined to rebuild his mechanical army.
In his opinion, a Southern Cross Army was not worthy of its name if it was not made up of a mechanical army. To ensure the continuance of an army, it was not about the strength of its fighters nor was it about the number of mechanic engineers it possessed. Instead, it was mere conviction.
Why was he the only one who had lived till this day?
He had been musing about this for so long. It was only recently that he managed to find an answer. It must be the general who believed that he was the right person to ensure the continuance and survival of the Southern Cross Army.
It must be it!
He couldn’t find another reason for it.
He did not hurriedly place the unique spirit card into the spirit hall. He knew that to build a formidable army, it was much more important to have the capable men than to have strong martial spirits.
Tang Chou’s lessons on the establishment of the army had a great impact on Bing.
He often complained of the lack of capable men assisting him. If that was the case, then why not develop them at the start to mold them to what he wanted them to become. Even though this process might be very slow, but it would benefit surely in the future.
Furthermore, he had a sealed experimental project in the form of the Lupus Constellation.
No matter what he did for the project, he knew that there would not be anyone who would stop him from experimenting with something that was out of this world.
The Lupus Constellation just had its first military general institute. Under the closed environment away from the chaos of the world, the Sky Wolf Martial Academy would initiate the enrolment of new students in the entire constellation.
