    Whoosh.


    Han Bing Ning only felt an indescribable undtion binding her as they disappeared, she felt extremely rxed andthe scene before her dimmed. But with Han Bing Ning’s eyes, darkness did not affect her as she looked aroundcautiously.


    ~Warehouse?~


    There were many goods ced all around, but there were no one else. Han Bing Ning rxed, as it meant that it wassafe.


    Faint voices came out from outside.


    “Ming Zhu Jie is so pissed by the guy withst name Tang, I don’t even know what old granny is thinking, spending200 thousand to buy that trash.”


    “That’s right! That guy is toozy, too fall asleep like a pig while guarding the warehouse. When Young Master Qinwas here, he still snored out loud! You should had seen how bad Ming Zhu Jie’s face was!”


    “Our Xue Family is still a family with face, to keep such a disdainful person, it truly provokes ridicule onto us.”


    “Eh, don’t talk so loudly, Ming Zhu Jie and Young Master Qin went to watch some interesting things outside, theyshould be back soon.”


    “It was such a hugemotion, god, will the entire city copse? It scared me just now!”


    “That’s right, it was like thunder....”


    The footsteps went further away.


    Han Bing Ning turned and looked at Tang Tian, Tang Tian’s expression was awkward, luckily he still had his mask onand she could not tell. He had actually scolded the twodies in his heart, ~to actually talk behind the back of thegodlike youngd, you two assholes!~


    But it was not the right time for them to talk, he whispered: “Hide here first, I will be back tonight.”


    “Alright.” Han Bing Ning did not hesitate, the warehouse was extremely big, with so many stacks of goodseverywhere, it was like a maze, and it was extremely easy to hide a person inside.


    Tang TIan gave the mask and g to&n


    bsp;Han Bing Ning: “Find a ce to hide these.”


    The two objects were the most offensively conspicuous items, if anyone else saw it, they would be in deep trouble.~What can I say, that stupid g that I waved all over the city is too ugly, sigh, too embarrassing, tooembarrassing....~


    Tang TIan nodded at Han Bing Ning, and quietly opened the warehouse door and left.


    Seeing that familiar face, Han Bing Ning calmed down, the few days of panic, worry and fear, and vanished without atrace. Thinking about the battle just now, even for an ice queen like her could not refrain from feeling emotional.


    She controlled her state of mind and became calm again.


    She knew that the battle was but just the prologue. When Tang Tian took action, he would never stop. Her ice pupilsshed with a look of determination, ~Isn’t this what you always wanted, the opportunity to fight by his side?~


    ~I have finally chased up to you.~ Her state of mind was extraordinary calm.


    She sat down cross legged and started to recuperate her strength.


    She was naturally quiet, although her strength had been shackled for a few days, but she never gave up being hardworking. She trained in the


    zero energy body, and with her sharp mind, she sensed the uniqueness of Sin Domain.She quietly observed and felt thews that were everywhere.


    She had recovered her freedom, a big battle was about to begin, she threw out all the thoughts and focused ontraining.


    **********************


    Tang Tian carefully dodged passersby and finally returned back to his residence without rming anybody. Helooked down at his own clothes, the wind des from Ben Sen had caused his clothes to be tattered and torn.


    He felt lucky, the Xue Family was rather generous with clothes, and prepared many sets for him, although they weresimple cloth, but Tang TIan felt pleased.


    After changing, Tang Tian realised that the wounds on his body had already started to form scabs.


    Tang Tian knew that his zero energy body had improved yet again, after removing all energy, purely by relying on hisphysique, it had caused all the muscles and bones in his body to be vigorous and vibrant. In the future, as longas Tang TIan’s vital parts were not injured, his wounds would heal naturally.


    Tang TIan shook lightly, causing all the scabs to ke off, revealing clean and uncut skin as before.


    Feeling extremely pleased, Tang Tian started to reflect on the battle. It was his first time crossing paths with a strong martial artist of Sin Domain, and he had reaped a lot of rewards. He had to admit that the Sin Domain martial techniques had truly walked on a new dao path, one that led straight tows and the body.


    Thinking about it, Tang Tian had already witnessed threepletely different types of martial techniques systems.Heaven’s Road, Sacred Saint Gxy and Sin Domain were all different. Sacred Saint Gxy had dense energy andformed natural saints with the ability to utilise energy at an inconceivable level. Sin Domain was thepleteopposite, they did not have any energy, andws were everywhere and clearly visible. Heaven’s Road was the mix ofthe two, with suitable energy concentration and able to produce the miraculous spirits.


    Three different types of martial technique systems, they each had their own unique points and were difficult todifferentiate their merits and drawbacks.


    The path of Sin Domain was the most suitable for Tang Tian.


    Ben Sen’s enlightenment on hisws was much more powerful and profound aspared to Ping Xiao SHan. TangTian could use spacialws to handle the fiery red spear, but against Ben Sen’s wind de, it was useless.


    Thebat betweenws werepletely different from thebat between energy.


    The standoff between energy rested more or less on the contest of quantity. The more abundance and dense theenergy were usually the crux of victory. The standoff betweenws, were in factpeting in terms of quality, themore profound, deeper andprehension of thews, the more power it would give.


    Tang Tian was slowly experiencing and learning, his situation was different from the rest. His zero energy body hadthe capacity to improve in Sin Domain, which was by strengthening throughws. This point was not easy regardlessof whether it was Sacred Saint Gxy or Heaven’s Road, as the two had energy. But in Sin Domain, it was not aproblem, Laws scattered around the riverbed that had no water, naked and bare, one could pick one up by bendinghis head.


    Now the problem was, therge riverbed that was scattered with countless of thesews, whichw to pick. Thatwas the biggest question.


    Give an example with spacialws, the Ping Family stealth technique’s spacialws had countless of variations, inwhich Tang Tian had thought of a few methods that produced good results. But Tang TIan also knew, he could easilyuse all thesews was because he was taking advantage of the zero energy body. But his enlightenment on eachwwere extremely shallow, and with such a mix, he could only use them to cheat others, Ben Sen’s wind de could notbe considered as any minorw, but he could easily dispel all of his attacks.


    Tang Tian had his finger on his lips while he pondered, although the null mes is powerful, but its might have beengreatly reduced in Sin Domain. Since there was no energy in Sin Domain, the energy destructive capability was ofnot much use. But instead, the zero energy body could be improved, meaning that the power of his physique couldbe greatly strengthened.


    The power of physique, was the true foundation of Sin Domain.


    Laws were rules of Heaven and Earth, rules itself have no power, and were just a know–how, by grasping on thisknow–how, it would allow a person to save effort, but if one did not even have the initial strength, no matter howprofound and deep a person had been enlightened withws, he would not be able to move a pebble.


    In Sacred Saint Gxy and Heaven’s Road, Laws were frequently used to manoeuvre energy, causing the usage of energy to be more efficient and be stronger.


    But in Sin Domain, there was no energy. To pry openws, Sin Domain citizens could only think of another way touse them, and that was through the power of their physiques.


    For example, Ben Sen’s control over the wind de was by using his body. He had tempered his body to be iparably strong.


    That was also why when Old Granny Xue saw Tang Tian’s strong body, she decided to buy him.


    Tang Tian’s physique was extremely strong, zero energy bodies were much more powerful aspared to Sin Domain people, because it was through the tempering of bodies. But Tang Tian was still not Ben Sen’s opponent, because the disparity between theirprehension ofws were too great.


    Tang Tian naturally was not discouraged, the boundaries of high and low were never the only factor to decide thevictor and loser, if not he would not had rushed into the Mu’er Family to seize Han Bing Ning.


    From his fundamental martial techniques, he was enlightened to his own dao path. This could not be termed as w, but to be exact, a thought process, or a thought path, a thought path towardsws. But to Tang TIan, it was themost appropriate dao path for him.


    Not allws were pure, some branches out that diverged out into otherws, while somews were formed by mixing a fewws. Like Spacial, Time, Life and Death Laws, they were the main trunk of the world tree, with millions of branches that spanned out, which were all otherws.


    Tang TIan’s mind suddenly stirred.


    ~Aren’t Laws just like a martial technique system? The gigantic martial technique system is just like the main trunkof a tree. But, all martial techniques, when traced back to its origins and disassembled, would still fall back tofundamental martial techniques.


    ~Fundamental martial techniques is the starting point of martial techniques, and the so called origin of all martialtechniques.~


    ~So wouldn’tws have fundamentalws like fundamental martial techniques?~


    When this thought surfaced, Tang Tian became extremely excited, ~If I can achieve this idea, it will be verypowerful!~ But he quickly calmed down, although the idea was good, but to him, it was unrealistic, to changesomethingplicated to being simple, he needed to first understand what wasplicated.


    ~And, why am I clinging to thesews around me? Laws exist in me too, Every punch i release has some sort ofwembedded in it.~


    Tang Tian had a thought, and suddenly began to practise fundamental martial techniques.


    His fundamental martial techniques, were through hard work and numerous revisions to finally reach where he was,and was refined through countless of battles.


    He suddenly thought of a question that he had previously overlooked, ~if fundamental martial techniques are theorigins of all martial techniques, then why will there be higher ranking martial techniques? If the origin is even morepowerful, then wouldn’t training in the origins be enough?~


    ~Why will there be higher rank martial techniques? A High rank martial technique have even more variations in ipared to a fundamental martial technique, so it can utilise even more energy, thus the might produced will bemore powerful.....~


    The martial techniques that Tang Tian was practising started to change, all of if which he had mastered throughrough practise, were put to use continuously, analyzing the transformations between them. He had trained in manymartial techniques, and by practising them, he started to have some understanding.


    ~That’s right, fundamental martial techniques is the starting point for all martial techniques, but, the reason for theadditional higher ranking martial techniques, is because we need variations. All these variations are derived fromthe fundamentals, and if they are not derived, no one will know of such variations.~


    ~But if they already know of these variations, is it possible for these variations to be integrated into fundamentalmartial techniques?~


    Tang Tian suddenly started to train backwards, he started from the high rank martial techniques and dropped rank.


    An indescribable feeling was birthed in his mind.


    ~All these variations do exist in fundamental martial techniques, but it’s just invisible. Only by training through thehigh rank martial techniques can one grasp it, the possibility of variations do exist in fundamental martial techniquesthemselves.~


    Tang Tian’s fundamental martial techniques started to rarely break out with variations.


    Because he suddenly realised, by inferring from top down, his fundamental martial techniques had some fine slipups and mistakes.


    He became immersed in training his fundamental martial techniques, not giving a care about his physical strength, which had no brilliance at all. If any strong martial artist saw him, they would be overwhelmed with shock, Tang TIan’s fundamental martial techniques had suddenly be unfathomable and unpredictable.


    ~The apex......~


    ~What can be considered the apex?~


    Tang TIan who hadpletely be unaware of everything around him, started to grow.


    (TN: This so called variations, i suppose, would be how one can give a kick. A kick can be produced by many styles,but what determines a real kick, a muay thai kick and a karate kick? All the fine movements are the variations, andhigh rank martial techniques would be like flying kick, through refining the differences in high ranking martialtechniques, one can break down and find out what is the best way to do the flying kick, which can then be inferreddown to doing a simple kick.)
