Undefeated God of War Chapter 151

“It still needs some time before it will recover.” Tang Tian was slightly worried. The Blue Peacock was injured badly from the battle with Hua Sha, as it fended off twenty attacks for him. The last one especially, affected its vitality the most.

Tang Tian continuously used his martial spirit to nourish it, but it did not absorb well. However, he was comforted to know he could sense that although the martial spirit of the Blue Peacock’s qi was weak, it seemed to have a strong will of survival.

“I’ve asked Big Bro Jing Hao. He said it was nothing big, as long as it was given time to recover, and it was fed with spirit nuclei, it would heal.”

It was the first time Tang Tian was in such a situation. He spent most of his time on the Blue Peacock. Under the continuous nourishment, the Blue Peacock’s strength was much stronger than before, but he never thought it would get injured so badly this time.

“You need to digest the harvest of this battle.” Bing reminded him.

“Mmhm!” Tang Tian nodded and said with seriousness and determination: “A godlike young lad will not be lazy!”

Bing snorted: “Don’t be boastful. Come on, let me show you the new subjects I have prepared.”

“New subjects?” Tang Tian eyes lit up.

While the Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures was tough, he did improve tremendously. If he did not complete the Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures, he would never have been able to defeat such an outstanding martial artist like Hua Sha. Needless to say, he would reap a lot of benefits.

“I never expect you to pass the Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures so quickly. Honestly, it was not within my expectations.” Bing looked at Tang Tian: “I thought you would have to stay here for quite a while, so I didn’t prepare any new subjects for you then. Alright, let us talk about the new subjects.”

Tang Tian was well prepared to listen, his face full of expectations.

Bing waved his hand lightly and very quickly, all sorts of coloured planets started to spin around within the room. After that, a grey coloured planet stopped in front of Bing.

“You don’t have many flaws in your martial techniques, but that is obviously not enough. Your problem now is that your body can’t catch up with your reactions. Your martial spirit has attained the silver rank. It is improving slowly, but your martial techniques and True Power are both on a lower standard. Especially your True Power is only at the fifth level, and it is already starting to show that it can’t catch up with your battles. So, the new subject will be focusing on your True Power.”

Like a knowledgeable and professional military officer, Bing cut to the chase and went straight to the point.

“There’s a subject to train True Power?” Tang Tian was surprised. In his mind, he thought that training True Power meant sacrificing one’s time. Those with outstanding qualities would use star rocks to help. As such, their improvement would be far greater and faster, but obviously, as his status now, he did not have much.

However, it was lucky that the strength in the recruit training camp was much higher, his improvements of True Power was not considered slow.

“Of course there is!”

Bing lit up the grey planet.

Tang Tian only felt a change in his vision and he was located right on a gigantic mountain valley. The grey canyon and the odd looking terrain looked extremely complicated. The wind in the canyon was so strong, one could barely open his eyes. Tang Tian needed to spend some energy before he stabilised himself. Bing floated just right beside him.

“Do you find this place unusual? That’s right, the wind here will not engulf your True Power. Instead, it will increase its speed to blow all your True Power away. Even if you’re just standing there, all of the True Power within you will start to exhaust.”

When Tang Tian heard that, he quickly checked on his True Power. Indeed, unknowingly, the levels of True Power in him was depleting quickly.

“True Power is the fundamental in all martial techniques. It has always been our focus to study our True Power. The most used method was to increase the energy in the environment. But eventually, we made a new discovery. When your True Power is being depleted quickly, your meridians and Dantian will be under pressure. Your meridians and Dantian will instead become stronger, their capacity to absorb strength will be much greater.”

Just like that, Tang Tian’s had already exhausted a fourth of his True Power. However, he did not bother about it, he was captivated by Bing’s words.

“I understand now. I have to starve my meridians and Dantian before they can eat quickly.” Tang Tian extended his hand and said.

“It’s easy for you to say.” Bing smiled, but very quickly, he turned solemn: “That’s right, and so we built this training room called The Valley of Starvation. There’s no energy here, so you will not be able to nourish your True Power. Very soon, you’ll come to truly understand the feeling of hunger.”

After his explanation, Tang Tian was only left with less than half of his True Power.

“Of course, it’s not enough just like this. Because in the long run when your True Power is not nourished, your meridians and Dantian will shrink. Later, we soon discovered that as long as you maintain high intensity of exercises, your blood and muscle strength will continuously nourish your meridians and Dantian. This will then strengthen the nourishment and keep you robust.”

“So!” Bing’s poker face suddenly turned into a sly smile. He snapped his fingers: “We’re providing a motivation for all the new recruits, they’re your new partners called Bone Gnawing Wolves.

Tang Tian turned instinctively.

A few ginormous wolves about the same size as him, with razor sharp teeth and blood red eyes were staring ferociously at Tang Tian.

Tang Tian’s heart dropped.

“Oh, don’t worry. Even if they catch you, you won’t really die. But you’ll feel pain. They like to crush joints and gnaw them into a paste before they swallow them down. You can experience it for yourself. It will feel very real.”

Bing’s gloomy voice resonated.

Tang Tian’s face changed.

The few Bone Gnawing Wolves cried as though a raging storm were coming for Tang Tian.

Tang Tian broke out into a cold sweat as his hair stood. Without saying a word, he turned and sprinted for his life.

In the room, Ling Xu took off his thick jacket. He was bandaged all over his body like a mummy. He lowered his head and started to loosen the bandages. Slowly, the bandages loosened around his wrist, shoulders, chest, and waist…

Looking into the mirror, he stared at a blue haired, suave looking, deformed body and his crooked, odd-looking wrist and drifted far away in his thoughts.

“Mentor, why don’t you teach me spear arts?” A soft, sad voice rang.

‘Because you can’t practise them.” An old patient man said.

“Mentor! I will work very hard! Mentor, please, teach me!” The little soft, and stubborn voice plead.

The old man sighed: “Little Xu, when I adopted you, your body was injured badly. Your bones are deformed, especially your spine. I gave you massages everyday, but I could not revert it. The spear arts have very high expectations from the body. Your body will not be able to take it. Your wrist, fingers, all of those joints, they were severely injured. You have flaws in releasing strength and most importantly, your spine will not take the burden and it will make you feel horrible.”

“Mentor, I can! I can do it!” Little Ling Xu lifted his head and said with pure determination.

Mentor looked into his eyes as Ling Xu remembered it so vividly.

“Mentor, I can do it!” looking at himself in the mirror, Ling Xu muttered. His pair of orange eyes were filled with yearning and perseverance.

He stepped into the wooden pail beside him. The wooden pail was filled with a black coloured medicated water. It reeked of a bad odour and he submerged all the way up to his neck.

He looked like he was in pain.

The medicine penetrated into his body giving him a sensation as though his body was being set ablaze. His bones were being enveloped by a ball of flames. It burned continuously as though it had a sheer determination to turn his bones into ash.

This was the medication that mentor had given him when he was alive. It helped him to relieve the burden of his spine. Occasionally, he needed to soak himself in this medication to dissolve all the internal injuries. From the moment he started practising the spear arts, he never stopped taking it.

But this process was definitely not enjoyable.

After the burning sensation had subsided, came an excruciating pain. It was as if countless nails were being hammered into his joints and bones.

His mind was blank, his face pale. His angry looking orange coloured eyes had no anxiety, and became pale white. He could not stop crying like a wild beast. His head looked as if it was being scooped out from the water, it was filled with sweat. The blue hair was drenched.

One hour later, there were colours and life in his orange eyes again.

The pain slowly subsided. He could feel his body slowly regaining movements. The stiff joints started to soften up. All the stabbing pain disappeared.

Such a comfortable process would not last for long.

When he came out from the wooden pail, and wiped himself dry. He took out a clean bandage and started to bandage himself again. These bandages were made from special ingredients. They were super strong, and tight. Once they were bandaged on him, they could help him relief part of the burden from his spine.

His crooked body was slowly enveloped by the snow white bandages.

He knew long ago how to bandage himself tightly without affecting the agility of his movements.

His body was now fully covered with the snow white bandage. It was tight enough that it made him flush, looking slightly sick. He held the silver spear in his hands. The coldness of the spear immediately calmed him down.

This spear was given to him by his mentor. It was his source of energy. Years of roaming, he finally started to find his way back to himself.

Shaking his wrist lightly, the edge of the spear trembled. A tinge of a silver radiance shimmered and faded.

Ling Xu looked satisfied. His gaze landed on a new white, long robe on the chair. The white coloured robe had golden sides, the collar was tall with two golden goat horns as badges.

Mentor, I finally have enough qualifications to wear it…

Ling Xu was slightly excited. He extended his palms to caress the white robe. The last words from his mentor resounded in his ears.

“If one day, you can train fully in the Justice Origin Core thrust, then you can wear it…”

Carefully, Ling Xu wore the white robe. It was big and it covered his body well. It was whiter than snow, with his silverish red tasseled spear pole, blue hair, he looked slightly surprised when he saw how good looking he was in the mirror. This set of clothes looked more like a priest or a deity officer than a martial artist.

But very quickly, he cast those thoughts to the back of his head. He did not mind how or what it looked like. Even if it were a set of clothes that looked like a beggar, he would not hesitate for one second and wear it.

“Mentor, little Xu will not let you down.”

He muttered softly as though he vowed.

The young lad pushed the door open and filled the room with sun beams.
