The carriage was roughly thirty metres long, with a width of nine metres, and totally empty.
Everyone was absorbed in viewing the four surrounding walls. Every wall was filled with spirit cards. Every card was a rank four silver grade spirit card, containing all sorts of martial techniques, causing everybody to be stunned. With one look, there were more than two hundred spirit cards.
The elder started introducing: "This Weak Point Arena required Master to spend two hundred and seventy one spirit cards, all of which are rank four silver grade spirit cards that contain almost every martial technique. It is very costly, but regardless of the cost, it is an extraordinary masterpiece."
Master Kong expressed a content expression. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with this masterpiece.
"Weak Point Arena?" It was the first time the audience heard of such an arena name.
The elder continued in a deep voice: "Two hundred and seventy one spirit cards, just have a taste of these two hundred and seventy one spirit cards. This carriage is created by a great master, so as long as there are sufficient star rocks, all these spirits will never die off. The Spirit Generals in the arena can selectively choose amongst themselves to defeat your spirit card generals. One battle after another, up till now, there hasn't been a single disciple who has passed the test."
Master Kong laughed out loud: "High levels spirit cards are too expensive, and low levels are useless. Might as well use all rank four cards, and make this up for entertainment.
Everyone's face immediately froze. Look around, all two hundred seventy one rank four spirit cards here were meant for his entertainment!
"You are saying that we can go in and fight with the two hundred Spirit Generals?" Tang Tian pointed to the wall, seemingly eager to try it out.
"That's right!" Master Kong laughed out loud: "What about it? Interested?"
"Yes, yes!" Tang Tian's eyes shined: "To drill myself daily is too boring already!"
Hardship Training behind the Cross Door, one cycle was ten days. That kind of dry and tedious training would definitely leave people overwhelmed. Although he started hitting the fog wall, it still was not actual combat, which left him burning with anger.
"That is true! Alright, you shall be the first!" Master Kong laughed. He was very curious about Tang Tian. This young man was able to receive everybody's approval, and that meant he had absolute and powerful strength. But on the day of the test, Tang Tian's talent was shown to be very bad, and was the last one.
Master Kong had seen countless types of people. But it was his first time experiencing and meeting such a weird young man, and so he wasted one spot for his outer barracks to choose Tang Tian. The outer barracks was not as harsh as the inner barracks, so even if Tang Tian did not make it in the future, the responsibility would not lay entirely on him.
The rest of them naturally did not have any second thoughts. They were not as simple headed as Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li, and they were all very clever. What Master Kong had said the previous day, after one night of pondering, they slowly gained some knowledge on the intent of his words. They suspected that their tests had already begun.
Just nice. Tang Tian was rash and rushed straight to the front, which would also serve them well as they watch the situation clearly.
Han Bing Ning coldly warned him: "Be careful."
"Ah ha, young lady don't you worry, I am a godlike young man!" Tang Tian had high fighting spirits.
Godlike young man....
The elder scoffed, let's see how much you can talk. Such trash still dares to act so brazenly. His heart increasingly felt that Tang Tian was one of those kind of 'mouth cannon' brats that had powerful words, but in truth were useless. He had seen so many of these kinds of people. If Master Kong had chosen Tang Tian for a slot in the inner barracks, he would have intervened fiercely, but it was just the outer barracks, so he did not bother.
It was hard to survive in the outer barracks, The elimination proportion number, he knew very clearly.
"Fundamental Tang, rush rush rush! Get rid of all of them!" Ah Mo Li raised up both of his muscular arms, shouted loudly, jolting others' ears to be numb.
Master Kong squinted his eyes, get rid of all of them? Hehe, you all are looking down on the arena! He nodded towards the elder, and the elder produced a star rock, walked to the corner and inserted it into a groove in the wall. The sparkling and translucent star rock, once it was pressed into the groove, instantly lit up.
A red light, forming a square box, lit up on the floor.
"We must retreat from the red lines." Master Kong said. Everyone listened and retreated away from the red line. Just as everyone stepped out, the square gave off a light, and from the ground the square rose up, forming a barrier between Tang Tian and them.
Only to see a ray of light trapping Tang Tian. Tang Tian curiously looked up at the ceiling. The ray of light that was on his body was not painful or itchy, but slightly numb.
"This ray of light is from the [Grey Cat's Pupil]. [Grey Cat's Pupil] is a bronze rank Star Treasure from the Lynx Constellation, and is the arena's protective nucleus, it is able, to some degree, see through the opponent's weak points. Until now, this arena has always been able to choose the best Spirit General to come up and face the opponent." Master Kong explained: "And the two hundred seventy one spirit cards practically cover all types of Spirit Generals. Do not look down on them just because they are just the fourth level. Many high level martial artists who have entered the arena were put in difficult situations because of them. All of you should not have any burdensome thoughts, it is ok to lose. Actually, the reason why I had this arena built was not for winning or losing, but to overcome my own weakness. That is why I used rank four spirit cards, because if the level is too high, with the pressure of the Spirit general's strength, it would neglect the opponent's weaknesses instead."
Just then, three spirit cards on the wall lighted up.
"The Grey Cat's Pupil has chosen the spirit cards." Master Kong said.
The light passed by every spirit card, all of the two hundred seventy one spirit cards on the wall, caused people to have tremors in their hearts.
"This requires a bit of time." Master Kong said: "It is finding the suitable Spirit General."
The light did not slow down, and very quickly, all the cards on the first wall, were swept finished, and the light moved on to the second wall.
"Interesting." Master Kong said: "The first wall actually did not have any suitable candidates. Seems like Young Man Tang is very strong!"
Ah Mo Li had a look of praise: "That's right, Fundamental Tang is a godlike young man!"
Godlike young man....
Sima Xiang Shan and the rest had many wrinkles appearing on their foreheads. Every time they heard that phrase, they could not help but think: It's actually a lunatic-like young man....
The light quickly flew past every single card, and from the second wall, jumped to the third wall.
Master Kong and the elder stared blankly.
Master Kong turned and ask: "Recently the arena did not suffer a fault, right?."
The elder had a face of disbelief: "It did not! It was even used a few days ago."
Both of their eyes stared into the arena with weird looks on their faces. two walls had a total of one hundred and thirty four spirit cards. That meant that the Grey Cat's Pupils thought that, out of the one hundred and thirty four Spirit Generals, none of them were able to subdue Tang Tian.
One hundred and thirty four Spirit Generals, and not even one could subdue Tang Tian....
This, this, this...
The elder was in shock. He suddenly realised that this Tang Tian was really a bit weird! He was very familiar with the Weak Point Arena, and he himself frequently used it, although his power was already past the fourth level. But as long as he restrained his own strength, he could maintain a power of the fourth level and the weak point arena could then find a suitable counter for him.
This Tang Tian....
Master Kong had a downcast look on his face. The Weak Point Arena was his own original idea. He had spent a huge amount of time and effort, and specially sought out the [Grey Cat's Pupil]. The four walls of rank four spirit cards were all carefully and specifically picked out by him, representing different skills and techniques.
But...
Why....
The atmosphere suddenly grew weird.
After the light swept the third wall, it jumped to the fourth wall.
Master Kong and the elder, as well as the other Honorable Martial Group martial artists, looked at each other in dismay, and did not believe it.
"Hey, why hasn't a Spirit General come out yet!" Ah Mo Li was surprised, and did not understand. While Sima Xiang Shan and the other people, with all their smart wits, and from the expression that Master Kong and the rest had given, were able to make out some clues. And thinking again on what Master Kong had said about the Weak Point Arena to everybody, they had some reaction as they hypothesized something.
Unless... unless the Grey Cat Pupil, did not find any weakness on Tang Tian?
Just as this thought filled up their minds, they were unable to stop and restrain the thought that was occupying their mind.
"Hey, hey, hey! Why are you not coming out yet!" Tang Tian who was in the arena was impatient and shouted towards the walls of Spirit Cards.
The spirit cards on the walls, did not move.
All the martial artists from Honorable Martial Group looked lost, and did not understand. They did not believe their own eyes, as they looked blankly at Tang Tian inside the arena.
No one understood the Weak Point Arena better than them, as they were practically training in it everyday. Sometimes it would be a group of three to five, and they would form a gamble round. Using the fourth level of True Power to fight a few rounds, it was their favorite betting game.
There was never a person, in the Weak Point Arena, who had used level four True Power to last five rounds or more.
After lasting a round, the Grey Cat Pupil was able to sort out and clearly find and expose your weakness, and the Spirit General of the next round would be even stronger in opposing the fighter.
But....
They blankly stood there and watched Tang TIan who was in the arena.
Ding!
As the light landed on the last spirit card, it suddenly disappeared, and the spectators around the square light trap, with sluggish looks in their eyes, slowly looked down.
"Ah, what happened? Is there an issue with it?" Tang Tian looked around. Clearly, he did not understand what was happening.
His voice was exceptionally clear inside the quiet carriage.
Tang Tian's gaze landed on the other people, and said: "Hey, what's with your expressions? You all can tell that there is something wrong right? That's right, I waited for so long, but nothing came out. You all are my witnesses, I did not touch anything! It definitely was not broken by me!"
"Fundamental Tang did not break it!" Ah Mo Li loyally stepped forward.
[Robin: I'm sorry, but I felt the need to say that I'm laughing so hard xD]
The way everyone was looking at Tang Tian was as if they were staring at a weird monster.
This brat....
Truly, he truly did not have any weak points?
How is that possible... ? How is that possible?!
There was nobody in the world who had no weak points.
Absolutely impossible!
Just at this point of time, the light suddenly became crazy, like a headless housefly.
Master Kong suddenly thought of the great master whom helped him create this Weak Point Arena, who advised him on one thing.
"Amongst bronze treasures, Grey Cat's pupil is definitely strong, but, if it is unable to find the opponent's weak point, then it will sink into a hysterical state, and its Martial Spirit would receive a life threatening attack."
Not good!
He wasn't able to react in time, and all the two hundred seventy one spirit cards on the four walls, like firecrackers, started bursting one after the another.
Pa pa pa!
One ball of light after another, exploded on the walls, becoming a sea of light.
When the sea of light dissipated, the four walls were empty.
Everyone stood and stared like a wooden chicken.
