Whooshing sound!
The wind generated by the punch blew fiercely. Tang Tian focused intensely, punching continuously with both fists. He was completely soaked, and beads of sweat dripped from his face to his chin, falling onto the black concrete floor beneath his feet.
Occasionally between strikes, a fist would suddenly disappear.
Every time this happened, the number on the door would jump. Tang Tian was still new to this technique. Out of ten attacks, only one would produce a Flash Fist.
Bronze Spirit Grade Cards could only give a body for a short time. It was impossible for the body to fully understand the movements in such a short period of time. Because of that, the price of Silver Grade Spirit Cards was far more expensive than Bronze Grade Cards.
However, Tang Tian did not mind. As long as he had a Spirit Card, he was satisfied.
He was not familiar with the fist movements. Out of ten hits, only one succeeded. He did not mind these problems at all. It was nothing compared to five years ago when he trained basic martial arts.
If he was not familiar with it, then he had to practice more. Bronze Spirit Grade Cards would not give deep understanding, and therefore he had to figure it out himself.
He was completely immersed in training. After spending five years, he could finally practice a rank two martial art. The energy he had accumulated in his heart was enough to explode the entire world.
For the 200,000 repetitions required to completely master this technique!
For the killing technique!
For Qian Hui!
For my mother!
For myself!
He felt like he had endless energy in his body, and his condition had never been better. He liked living this way, shouting all his goals inside his heart while freely swinging his sweat under the sun.
Those ambitious targets were no longer like stars in the sky, unreachable and distant.
If he was unwilling to sweat, his dreams would remain dreams forever!
He had not slept since he discovered that he did not need to eat inside the space behind the Southern Cross Door. If he was not meditating, then he was practicing the Flash Fist Technique.
He had already completed more than 768 Flash Fists.
Compared to 200,000, the 786 fists seemed insignificant.
However, Tang Tian remained determined. He knew the beginning was always the hardest part, but once he passed that stage, the chance of successfully executing a Flash Fist would rapidly increase.
For five consecutive days, Tang Tian immersed himself in training.
The number of successful Flash Fists began to grow quickly. Previously, out of ten punches, he could only succeed once. Now, he could release three successful Flash Fists out of ten.
The number on the door kept jumping and increasing, and the range between jumps also grew larger.
Panting heavily, sweat pouring down like rain, exhaustion slowly crept in. He held his knees, his eyes filled with bulging blood vessels.
He stared at the floor, and slowly the stiffness in his eyes regained their light.
He smiled.
Even though he felt completely exhausted, the sun was still as bright as ever.
He had completed more than 8000 repetitions of Flash Fist.
He sat cross-legged like a plate, closed his eyes, and as usual cultivated the Qi Cultivation Secret.
Inside the Southern Cross Door, energy was abundant, accelerating mental development and increasing overall cultivation speed.
Tang Tian could clearly feel every bit of energy, following his Qi Cultivation Secret, floating around him like moths attracted to a flame, quickly converging toward him.
This floating energy penetrated Tang Tian's body, flowing along with the Qi Cultivation Secret.
Once it reached his Dantian — the region two inches below the navel where Qi is stored — it settled into the pool there.
There were two pools inside Tang Tian's Dantian.
One above and one below.
The one above was the second-level Dantian pool, while the one below was the first-level Dantian pool.
When True Power entered the Dantian, the body would form a new Dantian pool each time the current pool was completely filled.
The pools stacked one above another, resembling a ladder.
According to legend, if cultivated to an unimaginable level, True Power would seep through the Dantian pools level by level until it reached the meridian point between one's eyebrows, granting eternal life.
Of course, this was merely a rumor.
So far, no one had ever developed their True Power to such an extent, just as no one had reached the end of the Heavenly Road.
Drawing energy into the body, converting it into True Power and pouring it into the Dantian. After refining it again, it would be poured into the second-level Dantian pool.
The second-level Dantian pool slowly filled little by little.
This process was extremely slow and tedious, testing one's patience.
As the energy gradually transformed into True Power, the nourished body slowly recovered.
Rich martial artists often used Star Stones to cultivate True Power.
Star Stones contained a large amount of pure energy. After absorbing this pure energy, cultivators could quickly convert it into True Power, greatly reducing cultivation time.
However, given the price of Star Stones, it was clearly not a method ordinary people could afford.
One hour passed.
Tang Tian's second-level Dantian pool was already filled with True Power, but Tang Tian realized he still did not feel any sign of swelling.
He felt motivated and continued practicing the mental cultivation technique, drawing energy and building True Power.
Following the meridian flow to the Dantian, it then flowed into the second-level Dantian pool.
Suddenly, Tang Tian's body trembled and a joyful expression appeared on his face.
He felt the True Power in his Dantian as if it had touched an invisible wall.
It was done!
The second-level Dantian pool was complete!
This invisible barrier was known as the Wall of Perfection.
Behind this barrier lay the third-level Dantian pool.
When someone touched the Wall of Perfection, it meant the cultivation of True Power in that particular pool had been perfected.
At this moment, a rank three or higher mental cultivation technique was required to break through the Wall of Perfection and open the third-level Dantian pool.
No wonder Tang Tian was happy.
According to his prediction, he needed more time to perfect the Qi Cultivation Secret. He never expected himself to master it so quickly.
With this, he could begin cultivating a rank three mental cultivation technique.
True Power from the third-level Dantian pool was far richer and of higher quality than the second-level Dantian pool.
Tang Tian was filled with joy.
True Power was about building a foundation. Without True Power, martial arts would only be empty actions.
All powerful martial arts required a high demand for True Power, especially disciples from large clans who spent most of their time cultivating.
Rank three!
Only by reaching rank three or above could he pass through the Heaven's Road Starry Door and reach the Heavenly Road toward Immortal Constellation Mountain to find Qian Hui.
Tang Tian smiled widely.
As he jumped excitedly, he raised both hands.
"HAHAHAHA! Rank three! I want to cultivate a rank three mental cultivation technique!"
"I will go to the Heavenly Road!"
"I want to go to Immortal Constellation Mountain!"
He jumped happily behind the Cross Door, dancing and waving his hands in excitement like a child.
After a while, he stopped to rest.
His face shone brightly as he widened his eyes.
Clenching his fists tightly, he punched into the air very seriously and shouted:
"Hey young man, you are truly a man like a god!"
"Shua!"
His figure flashed and appeared opposite where he originally stood, pretending shyly.
"Oh, I guess you're right."
"Shua!"
Returning to his original position with an admiring expression.
"I feel that the Flash Fist Technique is as godlike as you say. Absolutely no problem."
"Shua!"
Returning to the opposite side again, waving his hand in admiration.
"Young man, having such wisdom at your age is excellent. You have a very promising future."
After finishing his own acting performance, Tang Tian happily continued training.
With the sound of wind blowing from each punch, it was clear there was now much more power inside them.
