"Your first task, is to spar."
Hearing that task, Shi Sen immediately relaxed. Sparring is simple, it coincides with us being able to test our new equipment. Although it was the first time they were sparring, Shi Sen did not take it to heart.
"First, form groups of five and test it out."
Shi Sen was very quickly satisfied with Tang Tian's idea. After thinking back on Tang Tian's godlike performance, he was shaken. He knew the majority of the strength was from the Black Castle, but he was extremely curious about the Master's true strength.
Shi Sen casually picked five men, but the rest were all waiting by the side. He was very relaxed, although he felt that the Master's strength should be relatively strong, five men were relatively hard to defeat. But they had 46 men, no matter how bad they were, 46 against 1 man, would they still lose? Not possible.
Oh, why is that poker face's expression so weird....
Shi Sen did not bother putting it to heart, a group to spar against one man, although this was rather over the top, but Master had that privilege. This also meant that Master still has the heart to seek improvements, unwilling to fall behind. That is a good thing, it is encouragement!
Shi Sen then praised the people who came forward.
The sparring session started, and Shi Sen displayed his skills easily. At the start, they were beaten by Tang Tian. But as more people came out to fight, under Shi Sen's guidance, they quickly suppressed Tang Tian. But at this point of time, there was 10 people sparring against him.
Oh, Master is truly strong, but his strategies are too mainstream. It seems like Master's teacher is only so so, but as long as Master perseveres and works hard, those weird habits of his can be changed.
Shi Sen was thinking while looking at the time. Oh, 10 hours had passed, Master is truly diligent, he then spoke out: "Master, why not we take a break for 2 hours and then continue?"
"Are you guys tired?" Tang Tian looked at them.
"Us? No, none of us are tired at all, but we are worried Master you...." Shi Sen explained.
"Oh, then let's continue, I'm not tired." Tang Tian did not even raise his head when he spoke.
Shi Sen did not object, but he muttered inwardly to himself. Master's willpower is really something, but it is somewhat shortsighted, I need to find some time to remind him. Tired? These sparring sessions were completely nothing to him, they were the Demonic Mounts of the Underworld System, the famous Underworld System Demonic Mounts.
The Underworld System is not big, but its name had spread far and wide, because it was known for producing top soldiers. The Underworld System possessed an entire set of harsh training methods, when the locals were five years old, they would be introduced to the training. They would complete the training when they turned 20.
The Underworld System people valued good fights, and revered the strong greatly. After experiencing such grueling training, the soldiers created naturally had very high standards. In the Underworld System, the strongest soldiers were able to become the Demonic Mounts. Out of all the soldiers who had completed training, only 2% of them could earn the title Demonic Mounts.
The Underworld System soldiers were hot property in every system, especially the Underworld System Demonic Mounts, they were considered mighty figures that no one dared to approach. What made them so famous, was a war in the north that was 600 years ago. There was a famous military general named Tu Ge, who brought 96 Demonic Mounts to outflank 19 systems, and on the day of the decisive battle, they appeared like ghosts behind the huge northern army, destroying five of their supply bases consecutively and instantly turning the tide of the battle.
None of the 96 Underworld System Demonic Mounts were injured.
From that battle, it became the father generation of famous generals, establishing the first system of the Southern Region, and allowed the Underworld System Demonic Mount's to be hailed as the "Southern Region King Soldiers".
After the battle, the Underworld System Demonic Mounts became the soldiers that all powerhouses yearned to have, and thus countless of impersonations started to appear, and joined the powerhouses. After the terrible massacres of the masters and seizing their wealth, it caused the name of the Underworld System Demonic Mounts to quickly fall.
Quickly, their reputation became bad, and caused their survival environment to be extremely atrocious, causing them to walk the path of banditry.
Gradually, the Underworld System Demonic Mounts became the scariest bandits in history, and were hated day and night.
After 600 years, the number of soldiers that participated in the Demonic Mounts test dropped. The test gradually became a declining social custom, and only the traditional villages persisted with them. And even those who passed through the test would usually conceal their identities as the Underworld System Demonic Mounts.
So when Wang Zhun Xian and Shi Yong heard Shi Sen revealing their identity as Underworld System Demonic Mounts, their shocked expressions were definitely not faked.
The 46 of them had been through the harshest sparring and trainings to become an Underworld System Demonic Mount, to accompany one person to spar, how could they feel tired? That was truly a joke!
Shi Sen disapproved of that notion.
Three days later.
Tang Tian's sparring session had reached 15 people, he carefully watched the 15 of them, who were standing in a rhombus formation, maintaining equidistance between each other.
"Begin."
Shi Sen spoke out, and the 15 of them immediately lit up with a light aura, the 15 light auras quickly converged to form a body. Tang Tian was secretly surprised, if he closed his eyes, he would definitely think that it was one body, and not 15 of them.
Bing who was at the side also revealed a dark look, that was energy synchronization. To an army, the more synchronized the energy, the lesser the loss, and that meant the amount of energy controlled would be more.
It was an 80% synchronization frequency.
Bing secretly judged, his complexion was ugly. Previously when it was just 5 men, it was a 80% synchronization frequency, in which he was indifferent to. But subsequently, 10 men, 15 men, they still maintained at 80%, and that impacted Bing greatly. In normal cases, the number of people and the synchronization frequency was inversely related, but Shi Sen's team did not decrease.
80%. Not one army of Ursa Major Constellation could produce such beautiful energy synchronization. But Shi Sen's group, any 15 of them were able to achieve such energy synchronization. Bing suspected that if all 46 of them were to engage in battle, Shi Sen would still be able to maintain the energy synchronization frequency at 80%.
Could the armies of the Sacred Saint Galaxy be so strong to such an extent?
Suddenly, Bing felt the immense pressure.
Tang Tian did not overthink it, he had stepped into his battle mode, and was extremely focused. He was like a wild beast, constantly trying to seek out his opponent's weakness.
He had decided to test it out by attacking.
His body flickered, producing an afterimage, he appeared to the left-wing of the group.
The 15 of them swung their blades in unison, producing a strong energy ripple that shocked Tang Tian. With the additional 5 people, the pressure on Tang Tian had immediately amplified.
The light aura around the team became brighter, in which a wide blade aura whistled towards Tang Tian.
Tang Tian did not dodge. He wanted to test the might of the blade.
Stooping down in a horse stance, he took a deep breath. He met the blade aura with a fist.
The moment his fist and the blade aura touched, Tang Tian immediately felt a surprising amount of force coming down from his fist, the powerful force made him sure that if he did not retract his fist, his arm would definitely break.
The immense pressure immediately made Tang Tian's potential erupt. He did not hesitate, retracting his right fist, he shot his left fist out, with lightning speed he released several punches. In a short span of time, 10 fists had accurately struck the exact same location on the blade aura.
Bang!
The blade aura shattered.
Shi Sen stood up spontaneously, the speed of the 10 punches were fast, beyond his comprehension. He had never seen such a speed before, they were like lightning, to the point that he could not see any of the fists being produced.
And he did not even see any fist aura, that also meant, when Master released those punches, he did not use any form of energy.
Purely body strength?
After watching for so many days, Shi Sen felt that it was inconceivable.
Tang Tian's arms were numb, but his face was spirited, and the doubts and haze in his mind was swept clear. After the few days of sparring, he understood that although the Sacred Saint Galaxy was strong, they were not undefeatable. In all the different types of power, there were no superior or inferior classification, just that they all walked different paths. No matter if you are strong or not, it does not matter what path you chose to take, but is how far you have walked on the path that you chose.
With that sudden bright comprehension, Tang Tian's heart calmed down. All the restlessness and anxiety that had built up for the past few days was swept clean.
Suddenly, the entire sky was filled with blade auras that shot out from the light around the 15 men, swarming at Tang Tian like a swarm of hornets. Every blade aura was the size of a hand, rushing forth and producing a heart palpitating whistle.
Tang Tian was extremely calm. His lower body did not move at all, welcoming the blade aura, he stooped down.
He had never been so clear before. All the martial techniques that he had trained before swept past his mind. All the martial techniques that he knew, became extremely clear.
The parts that defined martial techniques as needing True Power to be used, were swept away like a mist, leaving behind the pure essence of the techniques that quietly surfaced.
The reason why martial techniques relied on energy, was because the fleshly body of the martial artists was unable to grow to an extent that could reproduce the same results.
A light aura suddenly flashed past Tang Tian's eyes, a scream was suddenly produced with his right hand, his five fingers which were like claws, welcomed the blade aura as he clawed forward.
Shrriiieekkkkk!!!
Dazzling sparks blossomed out from Tang Tian's fingertips.
Bing was stunned, is that.... . the Fire Scythe Ghost Claw? But that power, seems to be much stronger than it.... .
Tang Tian's five fingers were vibrating in extremely small movements, creating friction with the air, the temperature of the sparks suddenly soared, and the originally red light aura turned into white, as it continued to become hotter.
The energy in the air was quickly combusted, the dazzling white light aura quickly shrunk, becoming a small dot, like a star.
Hu!
In a circle of diameter 10m around Tang Tian, fiery stars started to float around like countless fireflies. They gathered at Tang Tian's fingertips, forming five beautiful swirling light belts.
When the concentrated blade aura touched the lights, it instantly crumbled.
The expressions of the 15 men instantly became pale. The light dots flew towards them like fireflies.
Seeing the lights flying around, Tang Tian's mind became serene. Demon King Blazing Firefly, was always so beautiful. In the past, the Demon King Blazing Firefly only had five lights, but the current Demon King Blazing Firefly numbered to thousands.
I've become stronger.
Senior Ghost Claw, can you see this? The Fire Scythe Ghost Claw has become stronger, you must be happy....
In the midst of the pride, grief was mixed in it.
Bang, the lights around the 15 men shattered.
