The sky was still dark and Tang Tian woke up.
Casually washing, Tang Tian turned on the lights and sat down at the table. He opened a piece of paper, buried his head and started writing.
“Qian Hui, how are you? I miss you so much. Everything is fine for me, please don't worry. The new semester has begun, and I am still in the position of Master Cen's teaching assistant in his Sword class. Without you here, I'm pretty bored. Everyone looked down on me, I didn't like them all. Recently Master Cen's body was not so good, he was a good man, and I hope he will be healthy forever. How's Uncle Yu? Please help me greet him. I really want to be able to see the Eternal Constellation Nebula Waterfall that you are talking about, I can't imagine how spectacular it is. I still survive in my training, it may still take a long time, but I will not give up .. “
After writing so much, it was all about the things of daily life. Carefully folding the letter, Tang Tian sealed it in an envelope.
Carefully wrote the address: Rainbow City Eternal Constellation, Fifteen Paths, Bai Hong Establishment, Class A Class A Shangguang Qian Hui (to receive).
Finished, he took out an air stamp onto the Heaven's Path he had prepared earlier, and stuck it on the envelope.
After doing everything, he got up again, and went to the courtyard.
The morning air brought a peaceful coolness in the hearts of the people. Tang Tian stretched out a hand and a leg, holding it there until his muscles began to tremble, before changing his position, preparing for the training day.
What he practiced was a basic boxing art. (TN: Basically boxing)
After training for almost a year, mastery of basic boxing art was almost perfect.
The basic boxing art consists of three movements, cross, jab and hook. The cross blows released a lot of strength, a deep, firm, ferocious power. Jab is a light and quick punch that corresponds to footsteps. The hook is located between the cross and the jab, with more emphasis on the angle.
Every basic move looked simple, but when those moves were made by Tang Tian, they were graceful. This after practicing over a thousand times, was done perfectly.
In a state of concentration, Tang Tian trained tiredly, not even once did he look exhausted on his face.
Immediately, he sweated everywhere, soaking his clothes, a pea-sized sweat dripping down his neck.
Looking closely, there was a dull steam rising from all over his body.
Repeatedly practicing his movements over and over again, stopping occasionally to reflect on his movements, but quickly returning to training. Time slowly passed, and as the sun rose, the cold air began to spread.
Tang Tian was too engrossed in his training.
Suddenly, the alarm went off, and Tang Tian stopped what he was doing, time was up!
Hu!
In the courtyard, with a breathless and heavy breath, Tang Tian bowed with both hands on his knees, a bean-sized sweaty grain dripping from his chin onto the floor. Every time he practiced, he would concentrate too much without feeling, which caused him to be drained and disappear the moment after he stopped.
Five minutes later, Tang Tian recovered from a daze. He straightened his body, raised his weak knees and walked towards the corner of the courtyard where a pond lay. The pool is filled with water. Tang Tian walked into the pool, and with ‘tick’, he fell into the pool.
The pool water sends a chill to the bones in the morning. As he fell into the pool, he trembled.
He retracted his lips and looked as if he was in pain. Slowly, he adapted to the coldness of the water, and about two minutes later, his body had fully adapted to the cold water. He sat cross-legged and focused on mental cultivation.
After living in Andrew Academy for five years, his basic mental cultivation art was perfect. The fundamental mental cultivation art requires ‘esensi’, and as long as there is perseverance, it can be mastered in one to two years. Tang Tian did not have a strong essence and therefore used an average of five years, but he did not slacken until the basic mental cultivation art was refined. He immediately started looking for a rank two mental cultivation art, however, Andrew Academy only focused on the basic mental cultivation art, in order to learn the rank two mental cultivation art, there was a need to enter another academy.
Yet Tang Tian did not want to waste time, then he looked around. Master Cen noticed Tang Tian's plight and invited him to become his teaching assistant. In return, he gave Tang Tian [The Secret of Qi Cultivation], a Bronze Level Two Spirit Card.
Tang Tian then started cultivating the second rank mental cultivation art.
[The Secret of Qi Cultivation] is suitable for people involved in martial arts while not having a strong essence, because its only advantage is to strengthen Qi. [The Secret of Qi Cultivation] that Tang Tian possessed could be mastered quickly, as low-level martial techniques were simpler, focusing on perseverance. No need for a lot of techniques.
A warm and strong Qi spread to every corner of the body, relieving the cold, and allowing the tired body to recover quickly.
Tang Tian opened his eyes after an hour.
His fatigue had disappeared, and he felt refreshed. But he did not immediately wake up, he instead laid half of his body in the water, and looked at the blue sky.
What could Qian Hui do now…
His eyes turned soft, but very quickly, his gaze returned to his usual self and he released the Bronze Plate around his neck. The Bronze Plates were connected to several red ropes, one tied by his mother, the other by Qian Hui. When Qian Hui was in Star Wind City, he would tie a new red rope in the Bronze Plate to Tang Tian every year.
The size of the Bronze Plate was similar to a coin, in terms of appearance it looked old. On one side of the plate there is a picture of the word ‘ten’, on the other side there is a winding river. The river looked as if there were millions of sparkling stars. Just below the river, there is a row of numbers. It was gray but the color had faded, so it could not be seen.
Tang Tian had been wearing this Bronze Plate ever since he was a child, but it was only in the past few years that he noticed the numbers.
He also noticed that the number would change over time as he began to develop basic martial techniques.
He was really curious about the new findings on the Bronze Plate.
Although carefree, he was not stupid. Very quickly, he found a pattern of changing numbers on the Bronze Plate. Every time he made progress on basic martial techniques, the number would soar.
From that day on, she realized that the mother she used to take for granted, did not seem ordinary anymore. He realized that he did not know much about his mother's death.
And the bastard who left her. [Robin: Abandoned because she was her husband.].
Tang Tian was filled with the desire to know the truth, he wanted to solve the mystery.
The Bronze Plate was the only clue he had.
It was a basic martial technique that would make numbers jump.
One year after another, basic martial techniques changed again and again, the number soaring from 100,000, to 200,000. While there was no reaction from the Bronze Plate, the gazes he received from the surrounding people gradually changed, there were all sorts of ridicule coming to Tang Tian. From a student of Andrew Academy, he became a retainer, then became the ultimate retainer.
Tang Tian was just like him five years ago.
The numbers keep changing.
999,400. [Robin: Current number.]
Tang Tian put back the bronze plate around his neck, but he did not realize that the gray-colored figures began to glow very lightly. Tang Tian leaped out of the pool, wiped himself, and put on a new set of clothes. He picked up the letter on the table addressed to Qian Hui and left the house.
His home was located far away from Andrew Academy, and very few people were walking in the morning.
There was only one place that handled the air post to Heaven’s Road in Star Wind City, and it was a post office on the south side of the city. Tang Tian's speed was not slow. He had long mastered the basics of light body art, and was able to keep his upper body still but quickly move his legs in rhythm. Every time he took a big step, three small steps followed, and this repeated over and over again.
Because it was too early, the post office was not open yet. Tang Tian then placed the letter in a post box located right outside the office.
The Eternal Constellation is so far away. It would take about three months before Qian Hui received his letter.
He looked up at the sky and felt peaceful, a grin appeared on his face and he turned to walk towards the academy.

When Tang Tian arrived at the academy, a group of people gathered outside the academy so that not a single drop of water could pass through. Tang Tian furrowed his brows. He was in charge of the Sword Arts class that day, and it was impolite for him to be late. However, he was very grateful for Master Cen's help and attention, therefore, when he worked, he became very serious, and he was never late. That was a huge difference compared to him being a student attending the class.
“Excuse me!”
He separated the crowd. The students who were eliminated were ready to shout, but when they saw it was Tang Tian, they immediately retreated.
“Gu Xiao Yu, I will let you go if you bow down to me!”
A boy with a very arrogant attitude, looked as if his nose was pointing straight towards the sky, standing in the middle of the crowd. Next to him were several boys with strong bodies, whose faces were full of ridicule. In front of them was a thin boy lying on his stomach, with a bent body. He seems to be in pain.
“Lick! Quick, time to go to class!”
“Sial, looks like we didn't hit him enough!”
…
Some thugs scold.
Tang Tian was disgusted by what he saw. Even though he was a tyrant at Andrew Academy, he never indulged the young and the weak. Most importantly, these people blocked the entire entrance, causing a bottleneck. Just a few minutes into class.
“Are you new here?” Tang Tian stood out with an unfriendly gaze: “Go!”
“Yeah, you must have gathered all your courage, just think about your own business, right?” the young man's head scoffed.
Tang Tian knew that if he stayed here, he would definitely be late. He could not be bothered to say a word, so, in an instant, he set his foot exactly one centimeter to the side, and ran over to the youth leader. With fear in the leader's eyes, Tang Tian grabbed his throat and clenched it tightly.
Just like how a chicken was carried, he raised the man with one hand on his neck.
Suffocation caused the young man to faint.
“Stop! How dare you attack..”.
“You're dead!”
The boy with a strong body panicked and rushed over. Tang Tian had rich fighting experience, he turned his hands to hit the man without looking, and then he beat up the other boys.
In a split second, the others were defeated.
“In the end, Tang Tian was the most ferocious!”
“But of course, he's an old school tyrant! Uh, it's different every year, if he doesn't clean up the mess, the new group of people will never know who's the biggest here! ”
“Omong-by the way, the characteristics of our academy are not too bad. If tyrant Tang Tian could not leave! It was to keep the academy calm and to ward off evil spirits!”
…
Tang Tian did not even see the group of boys lying on the floor and hurriedly rushed to the training ground.
As soon as he set foot on the training ground, the alarm went off.
Phew!
Tang Tian let out a long breath. He took a glance at the students of the sword srts class. After the gossip yesterday, Tang Tian's famous name had already spread, and all the students looked at him carefully.
He fakes a cough and waves: “Let's start practicing!”
