    Tang Tian expression was solemn, with one fist, he crushed the stone in front of him.


    Peng!


    The stone trembled, copsing into countless small stone grains, and every grain was uniformly the size of a chinese chestnut. They were unlike the other unequal small stones formed by his previous Minute Copsing Fist, all these small rocks were smooth, like they were cut by a de.


    “So powerful! We really cannot tell! This small one is a genius!”


    “To be able to endure hardships, that is the true genius!”


    “Old Fart Wei has picked up a big treasure this time!”


    ......


    The surrounding miners, all eximed in surprise. Although Tang Tian could use one punch to copse the stone, it was only as big as a fist, that was because his True Power was still too weak.


    Having enlightenments on Minute Copsing Fist, Tang Tian had already reached a rtively skillful position.


    “Not bad!” Stone Head smiled, and said to Tang Tian: “Although Minute Copsing Fist is only a rank three martial art, its power is rtively strong. And you will find outter, that many martial techniques requires the use of the power of copsing, provided that you canpletely absorb the power of copsing, all the higher rank martial arts in the future will be easily picked up by you. Observe!”


    He walked to a humongous granite the height of two people stacked on top of each other.


    In a horse stance, keeping his fist at waist level, Stone Head had a solemn expression.


    He exhaled loudly, used his right fist to explode out once!


    Pu!


    Against Tang Tian’s expectations as he watched the ferocious punch, the explosion sound on the granite was actually the only thing that happened.


    The huge rock did not move an inch.


    This was...


    Tang Tian was puzzled and had some doubts.


    Suddenly, a surprising thing happened. They saw the two-people tall granite suddenly copse into countless small fragment grains and like an avnche, copsed and grumbled with a loud bang, causing the dust to fly upwards.


    A nearby muscr man used one palm and produced a gust that blew all the dust away.


    A small mountain of broken crushed stones emerged in front of Tang Tian.


    Tang Tian stared nkly at the pile of stones, his heart was in an indescribable shock, if this punchnded on someone’s body, that would be so terrifying!


    Stone Head was afraid Tang Tian would receive a shock, and consoled him: “I have been practising the power of copsing for over ten years, as long as you continue to carve and polish yourself, your future aplishments will surpass me.”


    Tang Tian excitedly jumped to Big Bro Stone Head’s side, with a face full of high esteem towards him, twinkles in his eyes: “Big Bro Stone Head, teach me, teach me!”


    Stone Head cried inughter: “I’m a fool with words, and can’t exin properly. If you stay here for ten years and copse stones every day, you will definitely be stronger than me.”


    Tang Tian shook his head: “No can do, I have to go and find Qian Hui.”


    But shortly after, he made a fist in respect and spoke seriously: “Big Bro Stone Head, you can rx, I will definitely surpass you!”


    Tang Tian’s appearance made everyone around him break out inughter.


    Yet Stone Head did notugh, and using his palm leaf sized hands, he rubbed Tang Tian’s head and replied seriously: “En. I believe you!”


    All of theughter came to an end abruptly, as they were shocked by Stone Head’s actions.


    Stone Head gave no exnation, but warmlyughed, and encouragingly said: “All the best, godlike young man!”


    Tang Tian raised both of his hands high up, and celebrated: “‘Wawuuu!’, godlike young man, go go go!”


    ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※


    Ah Mo Li held onto the huge metal de that was faintly glowing with a de aura, all the muscles in his body tensing with energy, and a glow in his eyes.


    He raised the de up, a mud-yellow colored de aura, flickered out.


    The de cut into the stone material.


    The de went up and down, and the mud-yellow de aura once again flickered.


    Ah Mo Li was fully concentrated, with the big iron de in his hands, with a sense of firmness. A few consecutive cuts, and a perfect square stone cube appeared in front of everybody.


    “En, qualified.” Stone Head inspected the stone cube, with a satisfied expression on his face.


    “Long live!” Tang Tian jumped up with both his hands in the air, celebrating.


    (TN: It is usually said to emperors like long live the majesty!)


    Ah Mo Li had a silly smile on his face, he had gone through quite a bit of hardships the past few days, an iron de cutting a stone cube looks easy, but on the contrary, was not simple at all. The quarry sought for stone cubes with high expectations, so the desmanship required was high in demand.


    In the beginning, Ah Mo Li was not used to it. He was usually just training his de arts, how would it be so fine, so meticulous? Adding on the fact that the granite was naturally extremely hard, and that the de required a high concentration of True Power before being able cut out the stone cube. It required a high degree of fine control over True Power, to an extent that it would astound people.


    With this kind of training, he could clearly feel the difference, as his own de arts had an obvious improvement.


    The muscr men of the quarry, treated the two young brats with a lot of fondness, with everyone apuding and a few people whistling.


    Old Fart Wei appeared from nowhere.


    “Yo, young men, it looks like you guys have done quite well.”


    Old Fart Wei was brimming with happiness, while the others greeted him one by one.


    Stone Head turned to Old Fart Wei and said: “Although they are stillcking a bit of growth, it’s still considered a pass. These two brats are good and able to endure hardships, Old Fart Wei, you have found some treasures!”


    Old Fart Wei’s wrinkles smoothed out, and he proudly said: “They are going to cry. Let’s go, young men, your special training from here is done.”


    Special training from here....


    Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li looked at each other in dismay, could it be that there were other special trainings?


    “If they could train for half a year, their improvements would be even greater.” Stone Head felt some regret.


    “There is not enough time.” Old Fart Wei helplessly said: “The Martial Meet is approaching, and these two young boys still have other special trainings. First let them experience everything once, and next time when they have the time to grind, they themselves will squander their time away. An introduction for now is enough.”


    Stone Head nodded: “I guess you’re right.”


    Stone Head turned to Tang Tian and said: “Xiao Tian, Remember, the killing technique of Minute Copsing Fist is called [Great Avnche].


    Tang Tian nodded his head and replied seriously: “Big Bro Stone head, I will master it!”


    Stone Head expressed a smile, suddenly taking out his hands which were behind him, only to see him carrying two broken wooden chests, approaching them with augh.


    When the two wooden chests opened, inside one was a pair of ck metal gloves, and in the other was a ck long de.


    “These are gifts to you, hope that you both will like them.”


    Stone head gave the gloves and the long de to Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li respectively.


    Once he donned on the gloves, Tang Tian could not hold the weight and his hands dropped, so heavy! No one could tell that the ck gloves actually weighed over 15 kg, surprising Tang Tian. He merely wanted to try on the gloves, but did not expect for the gloves to not only be so heavy, but also fit perfectly.


    All his knuckles felt extremely nimble, without the slightest degree of affecting the movement of the fingers.


    Ah Mo Li caressed the ck long de, fondling it admiringly. He had specialised in de arts for so many years, and with one look he could tell that the ck long de was of superior quality.


    Old Fart Wei muttered: “You guys have struck it big! These two are the Fornax Constetion’s ck metal series weapons!”


    “Fornax Constetion?” Tang Tian asked curiously.


    “In a very faraway constetion, these weapons of superior quality are produced. You two better not lose them, or else there is no way you can buy them anywhere here.” Old Fart Wei red at them.


    “Doesn’t that mean that they are very precious?” Ah Mo Li asked weakly, both hands hugging the ck metal long de very tightly.


    “Haha!” Stone Headughed out loud: “It would be a waste to leave them here, you two don’t have to mind about it. They have been in hibernation in the dust for too long, they too are not resigned to stay here.”


    Tang Tian and Ah Mo Li did not understand, but felt that behind the words of Big Brother Stone Head, there was a hint of profound sorrow.


    Old Fart Wei was silent.


    Stone Head waved his hand: “Go on, don’t waste anymore time, if you have time thene over and y.”


    Although it had only been twenty plus days, after interacting, everyone was very close.


    With the urge of Old Fart Wei, they could only reluctantly leave the quarry.


    ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※


    “Hey, Old Fart, where did Stone Head bro and gange from? I always felt a strong sense of power from them?”


    On the road, Tang Tian could not help but ask Old Fart Wei.


    Old Fart Wei looked at him: “Why is a wimpy kid asking so much?”


    Tang Tian immediately red: “Old Fart, who are you calling wimpy kid!”


    From the side, Ah Mo Li raised his hand: “Old fart, I can testify that, Fundamental Tang’s butt is definitely not small.”


    (TN: This conversation is a y on words, wimpy kid in chinese is “small butt kid”, Ah Mo Li is a Dumbf***, therefore he thought they were talking about buttocks.)


    Buttocks....seems like somewhere, something went wrong....


    Tang Tian scratched his head.


    Old Fart Wei suddenly said: “You have to remember, they are a group of men who are worthy of respect. In this world, there are always a lot of dangerous and bad people, but there will also be people who will forever remember their own beliefs and oaths. These kind of people, are worthy of respect.”


    Tang Tian half understood, and he could not help but touch the ice cold gloves. The solid and ice cold gloves, made him believe in it.


    “Hey, Old Fart, what is our next special training?” Tang Tian asked.


    “You will find out soon enough.” Old Fart Wei answered without looking back.


    Soon, they reached an ore cave, and Old Fart Wei threw Ah Mo Li down into the cave.


    “Ah Mo Li, your de arts at your age are already very outstanding. What you arecking however, is not the techniques, but a deeperyer ofprehension. You train in earth element de arts, and all the genuine entries into the earth element de arts indicator, is toprehend our Mother Earth’s core. Once you haveprehended the core, you’ll be able to truly begin to practise the Wild Earth de!”


    Mother Earth’s core sounded like it was something incredible.....


    In reality it was just mining....


    Tang Tian cursed silently in his heart.


    Of course, when Old Fart Wei brought him to his destination, Tang Tian did not even have the urge to curse anymore.


    An endless sea of bamboos, with the shadows of the bamboos whirling from the wind, asionally spotting shadows that wore cotton drapes and bamboo hats, inside the sea of bamboo travelling back and forth.


    “Tang rascal, your light body arts are horrendous and that is your shoring. You’ve probably heard of this Jaded Swamp Sea of Bamboos There are a lot of bamboo leaf bees, which are some darn valuable creatures. Their sting and their bamboo leaf wings are both very valuable things, which are worth quite a lot in terms of money.”


    As soon as Old Fart Wei spoke of money, his eyes were shining like gold.


    “This is definitely your treasured training ground, not only can it train your light body arts, it can also train your Broken Shadow Palm. Brat, You have to remember, to practise martial techniques, you cannot afford to make losses, You do not have a rank two palm art, I will gift you this Floating Palm Spirit Card, it is Bronze Grade Card, but do not underestimate it.”


    Old Fart Wei expressed encouragement: “Godlike young man, All the best!”


    Once he finished, his silhouette flickered, and he disappeared.


    This old man definitely was a childbor kidnapper!


    Tang Tian nkly stared at the direction of where Old Fart Wei disappeared, only moving after a long time.


    However, as Tang Tian soaked in the surroundings, he had to admit that the Jaded Swamp Sea of Bamboos was definitely the ideal ce to cultivate light body arts and the Broken Shadow Palm.


    The Jaded Swamp Sea of Bamboos was extremely peculiar, there was life thriving in the sea of bamboos above the marsh. If one wished to enter the sea of bamboos, they had to step on the bamboo branches to move forward. Without good control of light body arts, it was impossible to proceed. The Bamboo leaf bees were the Jaded Swamp Sea of Bamboos local specialty, they were bigger than ordinary bees, with their entire body colored jade, and their wings with the same shape as the bamboo leaves.


    The sting and wings of the bamboo leaf bees had many uses, resulting in specialist peddlers who operated on the sides of the sea of bamboos.


    Thus there was life here for a group of people that relied on catching bees for a living.


    Tang Tian gazed at the boundless sea of bamboos, with an unexpected rise of heroic spirit in his heart.


    -Oh, i guess I should seriously start practising [Aerial Wood Stake] then.
