Martial artists were seen everywhere on the usually vacant desert.

A middle-aged martial artist, wearing a large cape, had a few bodyguards beside him who scanned the surroundings on high alert.

“Relax.” The middle-aged martial artist chuckled, “No one here would recognize us.”

“Master, do you reckon that Wu Tie Yu really defeated Kang De based on his own abilities?” A young man in green uniform beside him asked in disbelief, the young man had red lips and white teeth, he looked chic and playful, and fanned his paper fan lightly.

“What is based on his abilities? What can it be if not for his abilities?” The middle-aged martial artist was unassuming, “A win’s a win, a defeat is a defeat. The winner rules on this earth, who would care how you won?”

“How would Kang De that old fox be so easily defeated!” The green shirt lad gritted his teeth.

“A defeat is a defeat, don’t be a sore loser.” The middle-aged martial artist chuckled, “Just that it was a waste of this perfect opportunity. If not for Yu Shun and company’s defeat, and Feudal Martial seizing the chance to attack, the first place of Feudal Martial, was almost a given.”

The lad was aroused, “Luckily Yu Shun and company did not live up to expectations, and became the tipping stone.”

“You, ah, still as frivolous.” The middle-aged martial artist was slightly reproachful, “After so many fights, how were Yu Shun those three like, do you still not know? The three of them, plus a hundred Feudal Martial elites, such a line-up, would you even stand a chance?”

The green shirt lad was slightly embarrassed, and shook his head, “Nope, I would run as far as I can, erm, I reckon even running away would be a problem.”

“Glad you know that!” The middle-aged martial artist chuckled, and instantly switched to a serious tone, “The trio plus a soul general, Yu Shun’s broken arm, Shui Cheng was gravely injured, Yong Qiu was captured, the Feudal Martial elites were all wiped out, such a record, who could do that in all these years?”

“None!” The green shirt lad’s face flushed even redder.

“Exactly. None.” The middle-aged martial artist gave a small sigh, “These days, even I would sometimes wonder, if it was me, would I be able to complete that? After much thinking, I still don’t have the confidence. Yu Shun, Shui Cheng, Yong Qiu, just two of them, might be tricky, even if it was three of them I could still win, but probably with a hefty price to pay. Besides, if there was another hundred Feudal Martial elites, I would choose to leave.”

“But, from the ranking, Tang Tian that trio, did not seem too powerful either.” The green shirt lad was confused.

“Ranking does not mean everything.” The middle-aged martial artist shook his head, “If we judge based on the ranking, Kang De and us, used to be quite on par. But in real battle situations, Kang De would beat us by a wide margin.”

The green shirt lad seemed deep in thought, and spoke in a low voice, “I’ve checked their background. These three suddenly appeared, and entered the Heaven Road List, thus gaining much attention from long ago. Amongst the trio, Crane is the Heavenly Crane Constellation, among the Crane Sect disciples, he is the most outstanding young disciple. Ling Xu’s origins are unknown, no one knew where he came from, his spear techniques are outstanding, his mechanical beast is a Flamingo, where its entire body can burst into flames, extremely quickly. And Tang Tian is even more interesting, he came from a borderline planet called Wu An Star.”

“Borderline planet?” The middle-aged artist was stunned, borderline planets, were the most lowly recognized planets, the energy concentration there was the lowest out of all the stars, that was the most remote deserted star in the Heaven’s Road.

“Yup, his origins were simple and easy to trace.” The green shirt lad continued, “He was brought up by his mother, but a few years ago, his mother had passed away. He studied in a school called Andrew Academy, coincidentally, Immortal Constellation’s Shangguan Qian Hui, was his classmate, as well as childhood sweetheart.”

“Immortal Constellation’s Shangguan Qian Hui?” The middle-aged martial artist was slightly shocked.

Immortal Constellation had fallen long ago, and was almost kicked out from the Northern Sky’s 19 Continents. These years, Immortal Constellation’s sole famous character, was only Shangguan Qian Hui alone. Rumours has it that the Immortal Constellation Crown, was in Shangguan Qian Hui’s hands. The fall of Immortal Constellation, was all because of the sudden fall in rank of the Immortal Constellation Crown. The fall in rank of the Saint, caused the Treasures of Immortal Constellation, to all lower in rank, greatly diminishing their powers.

Besides, Shangguan Qian Hui seemed to have found a way to recover the power of Immortal Constellation’s Crown, the power of the Treasures of Immortal Constellation, had been gaining rapid recovery, the power of Immortal Constellation, had been rising rapidly as well. Some people who were more sharp, even noticed, that the energy concentration of Immortal Constellation, had been quietly recovering.

The rate of reviving of Immortal Constellation, was unstoppable.

Too big to fail, no matter how weak and powerless Immortal Constellation became, it was still a Northern Sky Continent, now that its recovery was evident, it was definitely not anything that a small, low-ranking constellation like Lupus Constellation of Southern Sky’s Constellations could compare with.

That was why when the middle-aged martial artist was extremely shocked when he heard the mention of Shangguan Qian Hui.

“Yes! Tang Tian and Shangguan Qian Hui’s relationship is not normal, the Shangguan Clan has already regarded Tang Tian as their son-in-law. Some time back, Tang Tian went to Immortal Constellation to find Shangguan Qian Hui, but she wasn’t in. Yet Tang Tian still helped the Shangguan Clan, and averted a crisis, now Shangguan Clan has become the most prestigious clan in Immortal Constellation. It was rumoured that the crisis at that time, was directed by a clan union. This infuriated Tang Tian, and before he left he pleaded his good friend Heaven Shower Blades Wu Guang, and spent three months time, to completely eradicate all the clan unions in Immortal Constellation. The clan union forces were fully eradicated, and Tang Tian became the most influential and prestigious person in Immortal Constellation. Tang Tian had some background in Honorable Martial Group.”

Tang Tian was the leader of the trio, thus the green shirt lad was even more detailed in his background check of Tang Tian.

“What a powerful character, though he had a lowly origin, he could still have such astounding achievements.” The middle-aged martial artist was filled with emotions.

“Yup, very powerful.” The green shirt lad had a more admirable tone now, “This person has low IQ, and poor talents, but extremely tenacious, he practised fundamental martial techniques for a full five years, and was a famous repeater locally, and suffered ridicule, even Andrew Academy expelled him. To think that he was scouted by Caramel Academy, and suddenly gained enlightenment, his abilities suddenly improved by leaps and bounds, and he rapidly grew to become an expert locally.”

“Ignorant!” The middle-aged martial artist snorted, “My underlings, who has the patience, to spend five years training in fundamental martial techniques, I will definitely accept you as my disciple, and give you pointers personally. You guys, let’s not mention five years, just who could endure even one year? All of you have eyes on top of your head, and think you are geniuses! Now then you know what true geniuses are like!”

The surrounding people all revealed looks of embarrassment, especially the green shirt lad, who looked most embarrassed. Actually when his underlings gave him the information, he also could not believe his eyes. Trained fundamental martial techniques for five years, was that a joke? Five precious years, all wasted on fundamental martial techniques, what a waste.

But Tang Tian’s capabilities now, made him dumbfounded.

The green shirt lad changed the topic, “The problem now is, why did Wu Tie Yu want to deal with Tang Tian and gang? Did Tang Tian step on their toes?”

“Wu Tie Yu has people behind him.” The middle-aged martial artist was very certain, “I have crossed paths with him for so long, I know him well. This person, may look brainless, but he’s actually very shrewd, he’s definitely no reckless person.”

“The people behind Wu Tie Yu, why would they target Tang Tian at all? What’s his aim?” The green shirt lad was bewildered.

“That’s none of our business.” The middle-aged martial artist was adamant, “No matter what his aims are, there can never be two leaders! Wu Tie Yu trounced Kang De, the domineering ambition of the Lupus Constellation has been fully revealed, would he let me off?”

“Then what should we do?” The green shirt lad hurriedly asked.

“We? We bet on Tang Tian!” Beneath the large cloak, a cold wave flashed across the middle-aged martial artist, he scoffed, “Don’t be alarmed. Think about it, the people behind Wu Tie Yu, why wouldn’t they attack personally, but let Wu Tie Yu do so instead. Obviously this meant that Tang Tian and gang are not so simple, thus the mastermind behind this has his considerations. Since this is so, then we’ll let them have a showdown.”

“Are they finally going to fight?” The green shirt lad was filled with excitement and extremely hyped. The other bodyguards started to become excited as well, having heard about Wu Tie Yu repeatedly for the past few days, as though the entire Lupus Constellation would fall into Wu Tie Yu’s hands the very next day, and everyone was rather unconvinced.

“Hehe.” The middle-aged martial artist chuckled under his cape, “Wu Tie Yu’s last desperate attempt, if he won this battle, then all’s well. If he loses, then he would be left with nothing. Don’t be fooled by his relaxed behaviour, he must be up to something behind our backs.”

The eyes of the green shirt lad lit up, “You mean the mastermind behind him?”

The middle-aged martial artist just smiled, without a reply.

Because Wu Tie Yu had vowed to make a killing in the city, all the Tribes in the desert, all gathered at the Fire Wolf Tribe. But now this place is called the Lupus Tribe, houses are built up continuously, bustling with activity.

44 tribes, the smallest, had 40 over people, while the larger ones, had around 6000 people, and most were just 6 to 7 hundred people. With everyone gathered, the Lupus Tribe now had a population of almost 5 million.

To Lupus Constellation, this was just an insignificant strength, but this was already the entire strength of the desert.

Bing had been kept busy, in his eyes, the Lupus Tribe were worse than thieves. Anything that involved military issues, his occupational disease would cause him to have a strong compulsion disorder.

Revamp the Lupus Tribe, to allow it to at least be a passable aid.

Compared to those aids of the Army back then, the Lupus Tribe was a far cry. Although he knew that doing such things were useless, but because of his occupational habits, Bing still could not help but carry them out.

Compared to the others’ feeling of anxiety, Bing was rather at ease.

In his eyes, Tang Tian was a freak born to battle!

As long as the difference in standards were not too far off, it would not be too easy to win against Tang Tian. The only regret for Bing was, Tang Tian was not born for wars. Those large-scale war battles, were the type of battlefields that Bing loved.

Now such a battle between the experts, in his eyes, was not any different from a streetfight of two hooligans on the street.

However… …

Looking at those out-of-form fellow’s before him, his head throbbed. Bing picked out all the Heaven Road’s level martial artists in the Lupus Tribe, to form the Lupus Army, he did not expect these fellows to be of much use, but at least look like an army.

The talented lads that he chose, were already quietly brought into Three Spirits City by Huo Ma Er.

After practising for three days, these fellows were still a face of bewilderment, full of loopholes, and Bing could not bear to look at them. Small group of soldiers, motley crowd, these descriptions were no longer apt descriptions of this bunch of useless bums.

Many times those ridiculous mistakes, made him riled up in anger!

He has never led such a stupid, dumb, low quality army. Never! Sometimes, he even doubted if his decision was a mistake.

Deep breath… … deep breath… … stay calm… … stay calm… …

Suddenly, his body froze, his poker-face flashed a look of surprise and glee, a shocking news came from the Recruit camp!

Tang Tian has broken through to level seven!
