Tang Tian crawled out of the Cross Door looking like a dead dog. He had accumulated all his successful Flash Fists, 80,000 repetitions. Needless to say, the [Crane-Style Qi Manual] could last very long. Tang Tian could spend more time on practising instead of sitting down. Yet Tang Tian was good at adapting and had nothing to lose. Even though it was his second day of cultivation, Tang Tian had been adapting rather well.

This time, the cultivation was painful. However, compared to the previous time, it was much better.

At least when Tang Tian came out of the Cross Door, he was conscious, and not in a stupor.

Yet, such crazy training would still make him fatigued.

The success rate of his Flash Fists fell in between sixty to seventy percent. As the number of repetitions increases, Tang Tian noticed something awkward. He tried correcting these awkward actions, and it was these corrections that resulted in the increase in the success rate of the Flash Fist.

It was not the first time Tang Tian was doing things like this.

When he was practising the fundamental martial techniques, he was already used to doing this. If he followed the guidance from the mentor, he found it very hard to achieve perfection. The reason why his fundamental martial techniques were so perfect, was because he continuously refined his actions and corrected them.

This was the same for the Flash Fist.

The essence of the Bronze Grade Spirit Card was not high. It was estimated that the creator of [Flash Fist] might not be necessarily profound.

The Spirit Card would possess the person to allow them to learn faster, but there were some shortcomings.

The Spirit Card contained a deep comprehension to directly couple with the creator’s standard. To expect a chap with an ordinary level of power to produce a Spirit Card with top notch essence was essentially an idiot talking in his dreams.

Bronze Grade Spirit Cards contained the most shallow and vague experiences. The ability to strengthen, the ability to train to a deeper degree, all depended on the person’s ability for comprehension and hard work.

Tang Tian’s level of comprehension was ordinary, but his fundamentals were extremely strong, After an unfathomable amount of training, all those unfamiliar places would be gone as quickly as dust being blown away, and would become familiar.

Rank two fist arts and fundamental fist arts were closely related, and even the Flash Fist Technique was not an exception.

Tang Tian could not explain it, but the fundamental fist arts were practically imprinted into his bone marrow, and had become his natural instincts. What was correct, what was awkward, he could feel all of it.

Tang Tian was also very simple-minded, as long as it was uncomfortable, he would change it until it became comfortable. The higher the chances of releasing the Flash Fist, the more correct it was. Going through all these repetitions, his Flash Fists began to quietly change, change into an art that was filled with Tang Tian’s own personality.

As such, the number of successful Flash Fists would increase rapidly. The highest success rate he had ever attained was seventy four percent.

Although his results were not as astonishing as Wang Zhen’s, if news of this travelled out, it could definitely shock quite a few people.

Tang Tian was not satisfied with the results. He was used to being the chap who produced perfect moves one hundred percent of the time. Seventy four percent was a spectacle too horrible to endure. However, he was not in a hurry, he had spent five years on fundamental martial arts, and that had trained him to be even more patient.

Oh, cultivation was all about patience and precision.

His [Crane-Style Qi Manual] improved tremendously and the energy behind the Cross Door was thick and great. [Crane-Style Qi Manual] already had a few structures to it. Its paths were complex and profound, but Tang Tian remembered them by heart. It was a crane, as though he were drawing a small crane.

[Crane-Style Qi Manual] was just like what Old Fart Wei had said, its qi channels were very long. Tang Tian’s patience was already astonishing. It was unsure what [Crane-Style Qi Manual]’s real potential was, but no matter what, it was suitable for cultivation. The cultivation time would much more efficient, such that his cultivation speed would increase rapidly as well.

That made Tang Tian happy.

The cultivation efficiency increased and he, himself, had the Southern Cross Hardship Plate, he would not be afraid even if he had many more martial techniques to learn.

Fist techniques, finger techniques, palm techniques, light body techniques, joint techniques…

He had to cultivate them all!

To become a godlike close quarters combat expert!

Oh, but why were his eyelids so heavy… so tired…

Tang Tian then went into a stupor and fell asleep.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

It was only after three days that Tang Tian finally woke up. Sleeping for three full days, Tang Tian was shocked at his ability to sleep.

What surprised him even more, was that his third level crane True Power, actually improved a bit.

Even sleeping could give rise to his True Power, what kind of strange True Power it is!

Tang Tian angrily climbed back up. After wasting three full days of time, he felt heart pain.

He opened the door, and the light from outside, dazzled him.

The afternoon sun brought an intense heatwave with it, directly on him.

On the training grounds, Ah Mo Li was dripping with sweat, with every stroke of his blade carrying a hundred percent focus.

Housefly cow…

Tang Tian stared at him, took a step out of the wooden hut with his hands in his pockets and walked to the side of the training grounds. ‘Pa’, jumping onto a wooden stake at the side: “Hey, young man, so hardworking!”

Ah Mo Li heard the sounds from Tang Tian, stopped and turned around. Placing both wooden blades on his shoulders, sweating from head to toe. He looked at Tang Tian and laughed out loud: “ Fundamental Tang, you finally woke up. I originally wanted to call you up, but the old fart said you overworked yourself, and asked me to let you sleep. Yet you actually slept for three days, you’re definitely powerful!”

Ah Mo Li sounded envious, felt that he could sleep for three days, was no small feat.

This brat is purposely saying this…

Tang Tian’s forehead veins pulsated, and he started to speak like a profound thinker: “Of course, a godlike youth, definitely will sleep like a god! This is called the Sleeping God….Oh, housefly cow, you better be hardworking, I am now cultivating the [Crane-Style Qi Manual], it is very ferocious, be careful not to be beaten like a dog!”

Ah Mo Li laughed out loud: “Fundamental Tang, I have also learnt new martial arts, [Wild Earth Blade], and it is very powerful! Come, let us spar for one round! This time, I will seriously face you. The old fart was right, only by using my strongest martial arts to defeat the opponent can one be considered showing him the greatest respects!”

Tang Tian frowned, lines appearing on his forehead, he groaned: “It’s over, this fellow has been brainwashed by the ground beetle old man!”

“Who are you calling a ground beetle?” a dull voice arose behind Tang Tian.

Tang Tian quivered and turned his head to see Old Fart Wei glaring at him with an evil face.

Tang Tian’s face lit up with a bright smile: “Ah ha, old fart, I was just talking about how incredibly powerful you are, since even this stupid cow could be tamed.”

“Fundamental Tang! How dare you say I’m stupid! You’re dead!” Ah Mo Li yelled.

“Why are you shouting like a ghost?” Old Fart Wei suddenly shot a glare at Ah Mo Li, and Ah Mo Li turned silent immediately.

Tang Tian’s heart sensed something was weird and he subconsciously scratched his head. Did something happen in the past three days while I was asleep? When did this stupid cow become so obedient to Old Fart Wei?

This was weird…

“Okay, I’m going to bring the both of you to a place today.” Old Fart Wei waved his hands: “Go and clean yourselves up, don’t embarrass me.”

Tang Tian could not help it and said: “Old Fart, we’re both cleaner than you.”

Old Fart Wei blushed and coughed lightly: “Give me a moment.”

With that, he disappeared into thin air.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li saw the three big words ‘Crystal Sky Academy’ in shock. Beside the three of them, people travelled back and forth continuously. These people wore clothes that seemed luxurious and they all looked impressive.

They would occasionally receive strange looks, three guys wearing torn and old clothes, were exceptionally eye catching.

“Hey, old man, are you sure you didn’t bring us to the wrong place?” Ah Mo Li could not resist asking.

Crystal Sky Academy was Star Wind City’s number one school, and also Star Wind City’s most high end school. Those who could enter the school, were extremely wealthy, or geniuses.

Apart from the few years after Shangguang Hui Heng Kong gave birth, Crystal Sky Academy’s number one rank was as stable as a boulder. This academy held the best of Star Wind City, the best and strongest teachers, the most well-equipped training facilities, the biggest Star Rock Shops, and shops that sold the highest level of Spirit Cards.

Looking at Star Wind City, Crystal Sky Academy was the apex of the famous schools.

Right at this moment, a middle aged man came forward.

“May I ask if you’re Principal Wei?

“Yes, I am.” Old Fart Wei shouted proudly.

“Please come with me. The Principal has been waiting for you.” Said the middle-aged man, indicating for them to follow him to their destination.

Old Fart Wei nodded and said to Tang Tian and Ah mo Li: “Follow me, and don’t get lost.”

The two of them followed tightly behind.

“This is not normal, this isn’t normal. We have to be on our toes so the old fart won’t be able to sell us.” Tang Tian muttered.

“Uhuh, uhuh, we’re two geniuses and we are definitely worth quite a lot.” Ah Mo Li nodded his head continuously.

Old Fart Wei, who was in front, had a worried face, and he suddenly stopped moving, when Tang Tian And Ah Mo Li’s heads were hit by him.

The middle aged man always had a smile on his face and although he hid his emotions well, when he heard these two sentences, he could not help but show some disdain on his face.

The students who passed by the three of them were all curious about their presence.

How the three of them were dressed was totally incompatible with the Crystal Sky Academy.

However, the three of them did not seem uncomfortable. It was Old Fart Wei who seemed stern and serious, while Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li were constantly curious and gasped at everything they saw.

The Crystal Sky Academy had many facilities they had never seen before.

Crystal Sky Academy was huge, finally they reached the principal’s office. The middle aged man saw the Principal standing at the door and got a shock. He had followed the Principal for many years and this was the first time he saw the Principal welcoming on his own.

“You finally came!” The old man suddenly said with a laugh, walking towards them with open arms.

Old Fart Wei also smiled, and walked up to the hug: “I had no choice, only to thicken my skin and borrow your place to use for a bit.”

“Don’t have to speak such courteous words between the two of us.” The old man laughed, turned his head and scanned Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li, before happily asking: “These are the two disciples you’ve picked?”

Old Fart Wei shook his head, pointed at Ah Mo Li: “He specialises in the blade arts, and I’ve had my eyes on him for a few years already. I have finally abducted…oh, recruited him I mean!”

Afterwards he pulled Tang Tian over: “I feel that this one is suitable to walk the road of a close quarters combat expert, but you know, I am not an expert in that field. Not wanting to neglect him, I had no choice but to bring him too.”

“Close quarters combat expert?” he looked at Tang Tian weirdly and started sizing Tang Tian up again.

“Hmm, also, it needs to be an extraordinary close quarters combat expert.” Old Fart Wei stated.

“Not the usual close quarters combat expert.” The old man’s interest grew, and laughed: “Let us go in and talk. Assistant Xu, bring these two boys for a walk.”

The middle aged man quickly bowed and complied: “Yes.”
