The power coming from Tang Tian's fist was unusual!
Unexpectedly, with the exchange of punches, there was a strange force.
Something was wrong! The strength he produced was not ordinary! Ah Mo Li's eyes widened in panic as he saw Tang Tian producing such power. Both of his feet were slightly in the air. Because the distance between them was extremely small, if Ah Mo Li had not been attentive, he would never have sensed it.
To actually use such a method to escape the Seismic Wave, he truly deserved to be called Fundamental Tang!
Instead of feeling depressed, Ah Mo Li became even more excited.
He had long identified that Tang Tian was using the Flash Fist Technique. The characteristics of Flash Fist were very unique, making it easy to recognize. Among all rank-two martial arts techniques, [Flash Fist] was not considered isolated. Because the number of martial artists cultivating this fist technique was not very high, it did not belong to a popular martial art. However, Ah Mo Li was not unfamiliar with it.
After all, there was an expert of the [Flash Fist Technique] in Beast Academy, Wang Zhen, who ranked third in the entire Beast Academy. He focused on fist techniques, and when he reached the second level of True Power, he specialized in the [Flash Fist Technique].
Wang Zhen had developed a deep understanding of Flash Fist, something Ah Mo Li had never experienced before.
However, Wang Zhen's Flash Fist and Tang Tian's Flash Fist were very different.
Wang Zhen's Flash Fist punches were more ferocious, and when they disappeared in the air, powerful shockwaves would send ripples through the air.
Tang Tian's punches did not create such shockwaves. His punching speed was much faster, and they were hidden so quickly that you would never know where Tang Tian's fist would reappear.
Also, Tang Tian's attack frequency was higher, fierce and extremely oppressive, leaving his opponent with no room to breathe.
Comparing the Flash Fists of the two martial artists, Ah Mo Li was astonished to realize that he could not determine which Flash Fist was actually stronger.
The more important point was…
Martial artists who practiced the Flash Fist Technique could not produce Flash Fist with every punch, and producing 8 Flash Fists out of 10 punches was already considered an expert level.
The highest record in Beast Academy was set by Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen had once thrown 100 consecutive punches, producing an astonishing record of 83 Flash Fists. This shocking record once caused a sensation in Star Wind City. Since then, Wang Zhen had been publicly acknowledged as the number one Flash Fist expert in Star Wind City.
But!
Ah Mo Li continuously waved both his hands and maintained the epicenter defense.
In his eyes, countless fist shadows appeared from the sky without warning, as if rain was falling directly onto his face.
What would happen if Wang Zhen saw Fundamental Tang's Flash Fist…
Ah Mo Li had lost count of how many punches Tang Tian had thrown at him, but until now, Tang Tian had not failed a single Flash Fist.
Fundamental Tang, you truly are someone who exceeds everyone's expectations!
Ah Mo Li was completely suppressed. His Epicenter Twelve Dispersing Palm was truly being suppressed.
However, Ah Mo Li's face radiated with brilliant excitement.
!
At the edge of the training field, about forty feet away, two figures stood on a tree branch.
One of them was Liang Qiu, and beside him was a man wearing a gray military uniform. He looked honest, and thick calluses had formed on both of his hands. He stared at the battle between the two men without blinking.
He was Wang Zhen.
"That is a beautiful Flash Fist!" Liang Qiu was surprised, yet his expression remained calm. "The rumors about Tang Tian being weak are clearly untrue. Although Ah Mo Li is not using rank-three martial arts, both of them are using rank-two martial arts. Yet Tang Tian can actually suppress Ah Mo Li. He is not too bad."
If the outside world knew that Liang Qiu had actually praised Tang Tian as "not too bad", they might think they had misheard.
"Haha, now you do not need to worry about Ah Mo Li anymore. I feel that Ah Xiao (TN: A more intimate way of calling someone) may sound unreliable at times, but he always has his own thoughts." Wang Zhen smiled and unconsciously relaxed his fists, but his gaze never left Tang Tian even once.
Liang Qiu did not want Ah Mo Li to fall into decline, so he secretly followed Ah Mo Li to investigate.
"Huh, it is best not to believe rumors. The fact that Shangguan Qian Hui saw something in this person means there must be something special about him." Liang Qiu said softly. "It is a pity that when Shangguan Qian Hui was around, my strength was still too weak. It is truly regrettable that I could not debate with her even once."
"Yes! There will never be another person like Shangguan Qian Hui, a true absolute power. However, Tang Tian's Flash Fists already make me itch for a fight."
"He is in madness." Liang Qiu said. "Look at his eyes."
The so-called "madness" referred to someone being triggered into an explosive state. A person's potential would suddenly burst forth, and at that moment, all aspects of the martial artist's strength would increase, becoming extraordinarily formidable.
"Although he is in madness, his Flash Fists are executed beautifully. Furthermore, the steps and rhythm of his punches are extremely remarkable. If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that a follower could possess such strength." Wang Zhen was deeply moved.
"You will have your chance." Liang Qiu glanced at Wang Zhen. "Caramel Academy does not have enough points."
"Not enough points?"
"Hmm, I have already checked Caramel Academy's points. If they want to remain qualified, they will not be able to gather enough points relying on these two in the prefectural test results."
"You are saying…" Wang Zhen was stunned, but he knew that Liang Qiu was always extremely cautious with the things he did. If he said so, then it must be true.
The point system in Star Wind City determined the ranking of every academy. The results of the tests determined how many points an academy would receive, and the accumulation of points was related to how the academy would receive financial support, improvements in their facilities, and their qualifications.
"Caramel Academy has practically accumulated zero points this year, and besides the official exams, they must participate in the Star Wind City Martial Meet and still obtain a good ranking before they can get enough points." Liang Qiu said meaningfully.
Wang Zhen laughed. "That is interesting!"
Just like Flash Fist, Wang Zhen was eager to try it.
Suddenly, Wang Zhen thought of a question.
"If Caramel Academy is in such a poor condition, how will you persuade Ah Mo Li to come back?"
"Beat him until he follows." Liang Qiu said coldly.
Wang Zhen was stunned, then smiled soon after because he felt Liang Qiu was definitely capable of doing such a thing.
"Let's go. This time we will let it go." Liang Qiu turned around without hesitation. "During the Martial Meet, we will see whether he has improved or not."
Wang Zhen turned around and looked at Tang Tian with a blazing red flash in his eyes before turning and following Liang Qiu, disappearing.
!
Just as Liang Qiu and Wang Zhen disappeared, Old Fart Wei, who had been sleeping on his bed, woke up.
He glanced toward the direction where Liang Qiu and Wang Zhen had disappeared. His wrinkled face made it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry, but he was clearly thinking about something.
His gaze landed on the two people fighting, and an unusual look flashed across his eyes.
Although Ah Mo Li continuously controlled his strength and did not use his rank-three martial arts, and although Tang Tian had entered madness mode, Old Fart Wei was still shocked that Ah Mo Li was actually being suppressed by Tang Tian.
The first time Old Fart Wei met Ah Mo Li was several years ago, and Ah Mo Li was someone with the highest potential he had ever seen.
Ah Mo Li's physical condition and his enlightenment in martial arts were astonishing. He had a pure mental state and never complained when facing hardship.
At a young age, Ah Mo Li had already become one of the well-known experts in Beast Academy.
Old Fart Wei also viewed Ah Mo Li in a new light. For students whose reputation was far better than Ah Mo Li's, it was only because Ah Mo Li was younger and they had cultivated longer than him.
Comparing them, Tang Tian's potential was slightly inferior, and the only point worth praising about him was that Tang Tian had a strong foundation.
However, the Tang Tian standing before him now had completely changed his image from a few days ago.
Old Fart Wei had secretly observed Ah Mo Li for many years. He knew exactly how outstanding Ah Mo Li's physical attributes were.
This was the first time he had met someone whose body condition was as good as Ah Mo Li's.
And the Spirit Card [Flash Fist Technique] had only been given to Tang Tian a few days ago…
[Robin: This is what the raw text says, but I am quite sure it has only been one day, feel free to correct me :D]
Old Fart Wei watched them with one hundred percent concentration.
Both sides had similar body quality. Considering martial arts achievements, Ah Mo Li was the winner. Tang Tian was currently in a frenzied state, and his power had grown exponentially.
According to common logic, the two should be completely equal.
However, Ah Mo Li was actually being suppressed right in front of Old Fart Wei.
Arrogant!
Old Fart Wei's eyes sparkled.
Tang Tian was fierce and possessed. He suppressed Ah Mo Li as if fighting for life and death. Without logic, he attacked with the rhythm of a raging storm.
Even though Ah Mo Li had positioned himself defensively, danger still surrounded him.
"Madness…" Old Fart Wei muttered to himself.
!
Attacking repeatedly, Tang Tian's anger burned fiercely.
His eyes turned extremely blood-red. He released a growling sound from his mouth, and the tempo of attacks from both of his fists kept increasing.
Ah Mo Li felt the pressure rising continuously.
He began to feel exhausted, and his [Epicenter Twelve Dispersing Fist] was being suppressed nonstop.
Unless he used rank-three martial arts?
Ah Mo Li clenched his teeth hard. If he had to use rank-three martial arts, would that not be the same as admitting defeat?
At that very moment, a burst of fragrant aroma suddenly filled the air.
Huh?
Both of them froze.
Tang Tian sniffed, and his stomach growled.
His blood-red eyes shot toward the direction where the strong aroma came from. Intense hunger took over his body and drained all of his energy.
Behind the Cross Door he would not feel hungry, but biologically his primitive instincts still existed. He had not eaten anything for the past ten days and was immediately caught off guard by the smell of barbecue meat.
Tang Tian turned his head.
He did not know when it had happened, but there was now a campfire behind him, and Old Fart Wei was casually roasting meat.
Seeing Tang Tian staring at him, Old Fart Wei raised his right hand and waved.
"Ahah, please continue you two, continue!"
Without saying another word, Tang Tian abandoned Ah Mo Li and cried out toward Old Fart Wei:
"Give me some, I want it! I want some!"
Ah Mo Li stood exactly where he was, looking stunned. Everything had happened too quickly, so quickly that he felt dazed.
Soon, the confusion in his eyes disappeared.
He saw the shouting figure rushing forward and clenched his fists.
Fundamental Tang, I will not lose to you!
Half an hour later.
Tang Tian, who had just been filled with killing intent earlier, now had a satisfied face while sitting half-limp, gently rubbing his bulging stomach with a drunken expression.
"Such delicious food! Old Fart, I didn't know your cooking skills were so good. All future stomach-rescue missions will be given to you!"
Ah Mo Li was not any better than Tang Tian. His large and exhausted body lay in a mess, revealing his terrifying hairy legs.
Picking at his teeth, he asked, "Old Fart, have you ever worked as a chef?"
Looking proud, Old Fart Wei replied, "You two are still young. As a senior of Heaven's Road, I must tell you this. If you two intend to travel around Heaven's Road, then you must first master the art of cooking."
"Heaven's Road?" Tang Tian was stunned and subconsciously sat up.
Ah Mo Li's satisfied face stiffened. He sat upright and asked, "Old Fart, have you been to Heaven's Road?"
"Hehe, when I was young I ventured there for several years." Old Fart Wei said with a laugh.
Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li immediately became serious.
Wu An Star was a celestial body. Although the name came from humans, after tens of thousands of years of development, Wu An Star had already become worn and outdated.
People who could step onto Heaven's Road were definitely not ordinary people.
"Hey, Old Fart, what exactly is Heaven's Road like?" Tang Tian asked curiously.
