Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 16 A Light Before Dawn
The morning sun is like a disk, and purple air comes from the east.
In the small courtyard in the early morning, Tang Zheng's sweat flowed and dried, and dried and flowed again, and he didn't know how many times he had done so.
Three days is not a long time actually.
Layer upon layer of star tides burst out new strands of star power.
In the past two days, the star power formed in Tang Zheng's body has doubled to nearly thirty strands, and today is the third day. If he can gather more than fifty strands of star power, he will have the confidence to try to shake the space of the purple gold belt again.
"Seal the throat!" As Tang Zheng moved, the star power continued to collide in his body, and layers of star tides quickly piled up...
I have been practicing since before dawn and have been doing this for two hours straight. If someone else were to do this, they might not be able to endure it.
But, what does this mean to Tang Zheng?
In the past, he had worked even harder than this in order to help his sponsors to climb the ranking list in the game.
Of course, the sponsor can lie in the game cabin and sleep, but he has to keep killing monsters and leveling up. In order to be faster than his peers, if his peers work ten hours a day, he has to work twenty hours!
The 30th strand of star power has taken shape...
Just after the star tide subsided for a while, Tang Zheng moved again: "Falling Spiral Stab!"
Layer upon layer of star tides piled up again, constantly impacting the star veins...
The thirty-first strand... the thirty-second strand...
During Tang Zheng's two hours of practice, several new strands of star power were generated.
After breakfast, the martial arts training ground will probably be open.
Although it was difficult to form the first star tide and gather the first ray of star power, it took Tang Zheng several days. However, once you have the first one, you will have the second one, and once you have the second one, you will have the third one. As his control over the star power becomes stronger and stronger, the subsequent ones become easier and easier with practice.
He felt like when he first entered a leveling area, it took some time to adapt, but after playing in this leveling area for a long time, he knew the location, time, and characteristics of each monster's spawn clearly, and he could fight them with his eyes closed, so he could get twice the result with half the effort.
"It seems that if I work harder today, it shouldn't be a problem to gather fifty strands of star power!" Tang Zheng returned to the house, wiped his face casually, loosened the soil for the flower king who was living a life of luxury, and went to have breakfast.
Tang Zheng eats very quickly.
This is also a bad habit he developed during his high-intensity career.
In order to save time, his average meal takes no more than five minutes.
Therefore, as long as he gets up early, he will definitely be the first one to appear in the primary martial arts training ground!
"The martial arts training ground... is indeed a magical thing." Tang Zheng clearly felt that the speed at which the star power gathered in the martial arts training ground was at least 10% faster than when he was in the small courtyard...
The strong star power communication ability of the purple gold in Tang Zheng 's purple gold belt should have been very strong, but the primary martial arts training ground only used a few taels of purple gold, but it was able to increase the training speed by 10%. This was probably the effect of the formation.
Tang Zhengsi thought that when he could take out the purple gold, it would be best to get some equipment to assist in his cultivation.
"Well, let's go find that Bailianfang store. This kind of global chain brand store should have good quality!"
…
The person who came to teach was not Meng Fenghua.
Tang Zheng and the other coach exchanged two moves. The star power kept flowing and washing away, and the star tide kept piling up layer by layer. After a whole morning, the star power that had gathered into shape finally exceeded forty.
"Continue!" The afternoon training went very smoothly. With the help of the purple gold belt, he could sense the star power very clearly. He stacked the star tides layer by layer very smoothly. The faster he stacked, the purer his star power became...
Forty-five...
Forty-six...
Forty-seven...
When the star tide "boomed" through the fifty mark, Tang Zheng let out a long breath, his chest rising and falling constantly, he was already exhausted to the limit.
"Okay, we can take a break." Tang Zheng didn't even have time to go back to his own courtyard. He sat down directly in the martial arts training ground to rest.
Seeing him sit down, several boys and girls about fifteen or sixteen years old from the intermediate martial arts training ground suddenly ran over, some handed him handkerchiefs, some wiped his sweat, some massaged his back, and some rubbed his shoulders.
Tang Zheng's soul was about to fly: "It feels so good. People who have practiced martial arts feel comfortable when their backs are massaged! A little to the left, oh, right here, rub it more..."
"Hee, as long as Master Tang likes it..."
"Master, you are both talented in literature and martial arts, wise and brave. We admire you so much!"
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes - these little bastards, they were trying to please me for no reason, and their courtesy was so awkward, they were definitely either traitors or thieves!
However, why not enjoy it? He nodded as he listened: "Yeah, she's pretty and sweet."
"Thanks!"
"Then remember to tell me twice every day!"
“Fuck…” A group of young boys and girls were instantly killed by his shamelessness.
"Alright." Tang Zheng felt comfortable after being rubbed on the shoulders by a few little girls. He didn't care about their tricks and asked with a smile, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
The young boys and girls really exchanged glances.
Then, one of the girls said cunningly: "Actually... it's not a big deal, I just... have a question and want to ask Master Tang for advice."
"Just say it." Tang Zheng waved his claws.
"Well, here's what happened. The teacher who taught us how to read would always ask us to give him individual tutoring for at least 15 minutes after class. As a result, every time we went to have lunch, the food was cold. Master Tang, do you think we were miserable?"
Tang Zheng smiled inwardly.
No wonder these guys came to look for me, it turns out they are the poor students in the class!
The reason I come to him now is to ask him not to keep me after class in the future, right?
"What's so miserable about you?" Tang Zheng curled his lips and looked at them, "As a student, you need to use your brain when encountering problems."
"Huh? How do you use your brain?"
"Your teacher is also a human being. He needs to eat, drink water, and urinate. Why can't you ask him the same question over and over again for two or three hours?"
"Uh..." Everyone's eyes widened.
"If he keeps asking you questions like this for a few days and still insists on keeping you here for tutoring every day, then I admire him!" Tang Zheng felt comfortable after the shoulder massage. He stood up and pointed at his head, "So, you have to use your brain, use your brain..."
After saying that, he left a sentence "Give me a back massage tomorrow" and turned to leave the martial arts training ground.
The group of young boys and girls who were left there were stunned for a long time: "He...he is really a scholar?"
"Anyway, uncle has already said that he wants to keep him, so no matter if he is a real gentleman or a fake gentleman, as long as he is not from Hidden Blue Villa and does not make us hungry, he is a good gentleman!"
"But, why do I have a feeling that our days will be more difficult than before..."
"Why? Hasn't he made his attitude clear? Won't he be like the last master?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's a woman's intuition!"
…
Tang Zheng returned to the courtyard and tidied up a bit.
As soon as he can take out the purple gold from his belt, he will go to Wulong Town tonight under the cover of darkness!
"Time flies so fast." Tang Zheng calculated the time. It has been almost half a month since he came to Xingyao Continent.
There is no news from Tian Meng yet.
I don’t know whether he has seen Xiao Tanzhi or not, and whether he has been rescued by Xiao Tanzhi.
"Okay, let's start." Tang Zheng sat on the bed and quickly sensed the space of the purple gold belt. He carefully gathered the fifty strands of star power slowly and slowly, and flowed into the space one by one like smoke and dust.
The whole space became bright again.
Because the belt was filled with purple gold, the star power was not hindered at all. Instead, it became more cheerful and lively after entering. The star power scattered in the space made the space appear brighter and more dazzling than last time.
The purple gold bricks that seemed to stretch to the end sparkled brightly under the starlight.
Tang Zheng controlled the star power to probe into the corner of the space, which was the place where he had crashed into many times last time but remained motionless...
He suddenly gathered together fifty strands of star power, and then quickly turned them into a cone shape like kneading plasticine. The wisps of smoke suddenly turned into sharp weapons in Tang Zheng's hands, and pounced fiercely towards the corner of the space!
In Tang Zheng's perception, that space finally showed a slight shake.
Once again dispersed, condensed, and collided...
Tang Zheng discovered that calling upon star power in this way was extremely tiring. Compared to the intensity of cultivation, the consumption was almost dozens or hundreds of times greater.
However, since there has been some loosening, there is no reason for him to give up.
The constant gathering of star power and fierce collision allowed Tang Zheng to feel that tiny cracks had appeared in that corner. As long as he made a little more effort, he could take out the purple gold!
But just a dozen collisions like this made Tang Zheng soaked all over...
"The last two hits, just the last two hits." Tang Zheng's perception was extremely clear, he knew that victory was already at hand.
However, his star power had become somewhat dispersed, and was somewhat out of control.
It's like a person who is extremely tired. He knows that the wall in front of him can be broken down with just a few hits, but no matter how hard he tries, he just can't lift the hammer on the ground!
"Ha, old buddy, don't play with me!" Tang Zheng took a deep breath, almost using his dying strength to gather his star power and rushed towards the corner again...
And this time, it's already the limit.
"Am I going to fail again?" Tang Zheng was not too depressed because of the failure, but since there was hope before, he must be a little disappointed now.
Just as he was gradually releasing his control over the star power, suddenly, a very ethereal, seemingly weak force was injected into his perception, and the star power that he was no longer able to control, under the pull of that force, gradually gathered again...
Tang Zheng turned his head and saw that the jade pendant that Tian Meng gave him as a token of trust and placed beside the bed was emitting a light and ethereal glow, like the soul of a young girl dancing gracefully in the air.
Tang Zheng didn’t think much about the jade pendant for the time being. He quickly seized the opportunity and completed another attack on the belt space!
A faint light finally entered this space like the sunlight shining into the house.
Space channel!
Although it was only a round hole about the thickness of a thumb, Tang Zheng knew that this was the space channel!
With a space channel, of course you can store and retrieve items smoothly!
Tang Zheng lay on the bed. He ignored the wet sheets and didn't rush to access anything. Instead, he set his eyes on Tian Meng's jade pendant...
"Brother, you helped me again!" Tang Zheng picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.
