âThis is the familiarity of a senior figure of the army youâre referring to?â Tang Tianâs face sunk as he looked at Bing in despise.
He was drenched and exhausted. He floated in the water like a wooden block.
Tang Tian never thought that when he passed through the Starry Door, what was waiting for him was a gushing stream of water with strong currents. He never had the time to react, and was flushed out to far away. In a daze, he was in mid air.
Waterfall!
From a height of over thirty metres, he fell into the river. Even with such a tough body, Tang Tian vomited several mouthfuls of blood. His bones were close to being fractured and his mind was in a blank.
That was only the beginning.
As if he were on a roller coaster, it did not wait for him to react when he was being flushed out by the river. It was yet another waterfall and one that was, again, over thirty metres tall. Poor Tang Tian, the moment he hit the water, he almost fainted.
The nightmare had no intention of ending.
Tang Tian fell a total of six times. Not only that, he knocked against rocks along the way and was injured. Even his internal organs were severely injured.
He did not even have the strength to stand up now.
All these changes happened too fast. He had no time to react.
If eyes could kill, Bingâs body would be full of bloody holes. And he would have died a hundred times.
On Bingâs face revealed a rare embarrassment. Even he himself was slightly embarrassed at this mess. But very quickly, he found an excuse: âYou know, itâs possible for changes to happen anytime in Starry Doors. But it is the first time Iâve seen such changes.â
Bing felt unfortunate.
The Starry Door outside of Three Spirits City was exactly the same as that year. The location and appearance did not have many changes. Which was why he was overjoyed to be able to return to his old place. Who knew that behind the Starry Door, it was completely different.
Tang Tian looked at the sky speechless: âWhat planet is this?â
Bing asked back: âDo you think Iâd know?â
âAlright. Seems like I have to rely on myself.â Tang Tian closed his eyes and instigated his True Power. Unknowingly, he slipped into a calm state.
It was as if he fell asleep. He floated on the water and with the current, he went along with it.
Bing felt it was odd that he could enter such a state under such conditions. Tang Tianâs improvements shocked him. He noticed the surroundings and the depth of the water and could not find anything threatening.
Bing then looked back.
The greatness of the waterfalls crashed. Even though they were far away, their presence could still be felt.
In his heart, he had mixed feelings. That year, all his partners had fallen. The leader had been killed. His world turned around and even the Starry Doors were turned upside down.
A strong gush of loneliness emerged from within his heart. Anything that was related to him was destroyed, and they floated within the wind. Even those memories were also fading turning pitch dark. Slowly, they were sinking into the deepest area of his heart.
He was the only one leftâŠ
What a horrible feeling that wasâŠ
Bing looked at Tang Tian who had his eyes closed. Suddenly he thought, if this rascal was not in a fixed condition, he would be nagging away. Helplessly, he smiled. It was lucky this rascal was more of an asshole than him, he himself would not go as far in the cold like himâŠ
The second day.
Tang Tian opened his eyes and his eyes glistened. His body was completely healed. This time, when he went into a meditative state, it took much longer than normal.
He straightened his body and stepped onto the water. Looking around, he realised it was such an easy task to walk on water now.
âWhat the hell is this place?â indeed, as Bing expected, once Tang Tian recovered, he would start chattering: âWow, the waterfall is this huge? How did we fall through it? Hey, Uncle, make some noise. This is all because of you. Donât you feel a bit guilty?â
âYou think I would be guilty?â Bing mocked and replied. In his heart, the haze faded. He raised his eyebrows: âYouâre lucky this is not a garbage planet. If it were, you could expect to eat dust. Also, I need to tell you some bad news.â
âThereâs no way we can enter the Martial Spirit Hall.â Bing shrugged his hand and looked innocent: âThereâs a possibility that when we entered the Starry Door, we affected the Martial Spirit Hall. The entrance to the Martial Spirit Hall is in complete chaos. As for the reason, I have not made it clear yet. It seems like this had to do with the relationship between the Starry Door and the army. And it was deeper than I imagined.â
There was no way into the Martial Spirit Hall. That meant that the tunnel to enter the Three Spirits City was also closed.
That meant that they were trapped on this planet.
Although Bing could not be blamed for this, this rascalâs attitudeâŠ
Tang Tianâs face was black as a pot. He clenched his teeth and said: âSome armyâs senior figure, and someone who is in-charge of a young lad should not have such an attitude!â
Bing corrected without repentance: âYou know us senior figures, this is the senior figureâs attitude. Young lad, youâre just a young lad. You need to be humble and caring to your elders. Young lad, you still have a long way to go!â
Tang Tian raged and half squatted looking as if he was about to pounce on Bing: âYou son of a bitch!â
Bing laughed and retaliated: âYoung lad, donât think youâve achieved something amazing by crossing the Chamber of the Eighteen Bronze Figures. As the chief military officer, there was nothing interesting there.â
âAsshole! Iâll let you understand what a horrible death youâll get when you offend a godlike young lad!â
âWhat an idiotic young lad who does not know his own limitations nor has he passed the recruit training camp. Iâve seen a lot like you. With just one hand, Iâll slap the shit out of you!â
The two quarrelled on the river.
Suddenly, a shrilling scream came from afar.
âThereâs someone here!â
âThereâs someone here!â
The two shouted unanimously and looked at one another in surprise. If there was someone else, it meant they could find out what location they were at.
Tang Tian and Bing ran in the direction the sound came from at the same time.
âWho could it be?â Tang Tian asked as he flew.
âA lady!â Bing was more sensitive with his ears: âThere are sounds of fighting. Young lad, be careful. Donât get beaten up by others.â
âUncle, you better take care of yourself. Youâre so old, your teeth are all going to drop. Donât get jealous of a godlike young lad.â Bing looked angry as he heard Tang Tian said that.
âJealous? Hehe, not a chance! For a rookie who has not even passed the recruit training camp, I simply canât let my head down.â Bing replied quickly.
The two shot back at one another without affecting their speed. Tang Tian was like a wild horse who had got off the leash, while Bing flew camly in air following behind Tang Tian.
On the water they flew past. Once they were on shore, they flew up a tree.
In front of them was a dense forest, the dense trees formed a green sea. Tang Tian raised his hands up like a huge bird and stepped into the sea of trees and flew.
It took him about ten minutes before he found his target.
There was a piece of empty land within the dense forest. There had just been a fierce fight. There were about seven to eight corpse lying around. It was chaotic.
There were five to six people protecting a young lady. The girl wore luxurious clothes, was elegant and noble. With one look, you could tell she was not an ordinary person. By her side were the guards who were all experts. They looked calm and fierce.
The most eye-catching was the middle-aged man who had a scar on his face. He had a killing aura. Blood dripped down from his palms and onto the mud.
âAh Bi Li, look around.â he told one of the guards.
Ah Bi Li nodded and started clearing the battle scene.
Suddenly, the middle aged man seemed to sense something. He turned and muttered: âWho? Come out!â
The guards around the lady enveloped the girl in the middle as if they had met up with a enemy.
Tang Tianâs heart skipped a beat. He tried to relaxed his footsteps and hold his breath. He never thought the opponent would detect him. Bing suddenly penetrated into Tang Tianâs body and whispered: âBe careful.â
Tang Tian raised his arms up and walked out from the forest. He shouted: âDonât attack. I have no ill intentions!â
They could tell it was a young lad. The guards loosened up their guards except the middle-aged man. Without turning his head, he bellowed: âSan Chen!â
One of the guards who looked skinny had a ray of red light in his eyes: âFifth level! He has not activated his blood meridians yet!â
Not activated blood meridians?
Everyone looked odd. The guards laughed slightly. Even the middle-aged man was surprised: âI never thought I could meet a pure person here who has not activated their blood meridians yet.â
No one bothered about Tang Tian. On the contrary, the lady who was being protected looked at Tang Tian curiously.
Tang Tianâs heart moved. When he heard them talked about âblood meridiansâ. In his memory, the only thing that could be linked up with blood meridians was Onyx Soul.
Could it be..
The others let their guards down and Tang Tian put on a face with no intention to harm: âIâm sorry to interrupt. Iâm lost here. I would like to ask, what place is this?â
âDark Forest.â One of the guards replied
âHeh, and what planet is this exactly?â Tang Tian asked straightforwardly.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Tang Tian.
The middle-aged man asked: âWhich planet did you come from?â
Tang Tian shrugged: âI donât know either. When I stepped into the Starry Door, I was immediately flushed down a river. Then suddenly, I fell from the waterfall. I have no idea where I am right now.â
âUnless there is a Starry Door in the Dark Forest?â the middle aged man muttered. Tang Tianâs words had no flaws. He looked up and gazed at Tang Tian: âThis is the Humble Forest Planet.â
âHumble Forest PlanetâŠâ Tang Tian was not sure. He had never heard such a name before. Hence, he asked blatantly: âWhich constellation does it belong to?â
âNone.â he middle-aged man casually said: âIt belongs to Onyx Soul.â
Indeed, it was as he guessed. But Tang Tian was not proud of it.If he did not know what constellation the planet belonged to, then he would not be able to determine his location.
âMay I ask if any of you have a map of all the planets? Can you sell it to me?â Tang Tian looked at them.
The rest laughed suddenly.
Ah Bi Li mocked at him: âRascal, do you wish to leave Humble Forest Planet? You can stop dreaming. There has never been a newbie, who has yet to activate his blood meridians, who has managed to get out of Humble Forest Planet!â
Tang Tian was amused. What had blood meridians got to do with leaving a planet?
