Huo Ma Er was so busy that she ran around like the wind.

All the messengers from everywhere, the surrendering of the local powers, the recovery after the battle, all of it made her, an ex bandit leader, enter a new life. But her face was constantly smiling happily. Not only her, the entire Lupus Constellation was in jubilation, Tang Tian’s name had reached an all new high.

To be engraved in all their memories, he would forever be a legend.

The barren and unchecked Lupus Constellation finally experienced the feeling of letting off steam.

Lupus Constellation’s current position was something that never happened in history before. All of the other constellations of Southern Sky’s 42 constellations were all talking about the war, all of them feeling somewhat envious and revering, even the constellations of Northern Sky, who always acted almighty to them, were much more polite and nice.

The world would always be so realistic, as long as one held power, he would be able to earn the respect from others.

Lupus Constellation had a poor living environment and was populated. Fighters were produced in abundance, and the Lupus people respected power even more so than the other constellations.

Tang Tian was an unknown name not long ago.

Before the war, Tang Tian was actually already in control of Lupus Constellation, but to the other local powerhouses, they had outward devotion while harboring inward opposition and ulterior motives. And after experiencing the war, Tang Tian’s name was already in the air, and all the wild strong Lupus martial artists were finally convinced and submitted willingly.

But currently, his name had become the symbol of Lupus Constellation.

Martial artists were revered, not because of the respect for power, but more because strong martial artists could provide better lives for everyone, and bring more space for the families to reproduce and grow.

All of the strong martial artists from the different tribes all started running towards Lupus Tribe.

At any place, all the neutral powers, were the backbone of all the powers, and were the most difficult to rope in.

Tang Yi’s Lupus Army’s name became famous after the war, and became a hit of the public. And because of their losses, Lupus Army needed to replenish their ranks. Tang Yi’s commanding power was 500, so the Lupus Army increased to the size of 500 men.

The completely expanded Lupus Army was comprised of the strength of the elites of Lupus Constellation.

Compared to Tang Yi’s Lupus Army, Huangfu Hong’s Heavy Iron Army suffered even greater casualties. Ye Zhao Ge’s reckless attack had dwindled their numbers by half. What caused Huangfu Hong even more despair was, the surviving martial artists all lost their will to fight.

While escaping, they were continuously attacked by the Lupus Tribe on the way, and the Heavy Iron Army that eventually lost their will to fight. No matter how much Huangfu Hong tried to struggle with them, they did not want to join him any further.

Huangfu Hong watched the downfall of his Heavy Iron Army, and the pain made him feel as if he lost his soul.

He became a captive, and was sent to Huo Ma Er by the locals of Lupus Tribe.

“From today onward, you are my captive and your life belongs to me.” Bing said straightforwardly: “From today, you will be Tang Yi’s assistant, so do your work well.”

Huangfu Hong’s face was extremely red. Although he was not a famous general, he had led the Heavy Iron Army by himself for all those years, and to become an assistant to a spirit military leader, it made him ashamed and heartbroken.

“If you want to die, then go and suicide.” Bing coldly dropped those words, then stopped caring for him.

Bing did not have the joy and happiness of victory, what victory did he have? For the war, they spent a few billion star coins, while the opponent was just one man. To everyone else, Tang Tian and his friends had created a miracle. But to Bing, all this was shame and humiliation, Sky Tiger’s destruction made him feel extremely terrible.

Bing had hatred in his eyes, and promised himself, he definitely had to repay that debt.

And, he knew that the Ye Family would definitely not leave things as it was, and would definitely make plans to attack them again in the future.

But, there was still good after the war.

They had the popularity. Tang Tian and his friends were not nameless soldiers anymore, and had made a name for themselves in the entire Heaven’s Road. After the war, the trust from Mo Family exponentially increased.

More importantly, everyone was increasing their strengths. Tang Tian was in closed door cultivation, Jing Hao was in closed door cultivation, Ling Xu was in closed door cultivation, Crane was also in closed door cultivation, Ah Mo Li and the other 3 were also in closed door cultivation.

Since it was so, all of their individual strength would have a qualitative leap, and that was the thing that was worth being happy about.

Bing was extremely experienced in grooming recruits, his eyes full of passion, all of the new recruits had good talent, aside from comparing with Ah Mo Li and the other three, who far exceeded ordinary people, and let’s not talk about Tang Tian and the other three, who were four perverse people. They did not have any guidance nor any resources, but they were still so dazzling and powerful.

(TN: Just a note, now his human group consists of TT, LX, Crane, Jing Hao. while the other 4 are Ah Mo Li, Han Bing Ning, Sima Xiang Shan and Liang Qiu)

The outside world were all using two words to describe Tang Tian and his friends, and that was ‘Dark Horse’. But it was also only this, every year Heaven’s Road would have a few dark horses surfacing, but all these dark horses, as much as they would suddenly appear out of nowhere and dazzle everyone, 90% of the time they would also quietly disappear, and no one would know.

That was the characteristic of dark horses.

They could all rely on their special traits, and at a certain time, achieve something extraordinary, but just that everyone was unfamiliar with them. Upon becoming known to everyone, there would be people talking and analyzing them, all their information with all their faults, would all come to light. Their lives would suddenly turn for the worse, and their enemies would become even stronger.

Dark horses would be discussed by everyone enthusiastically, but that was all. Everyone was now awaiting for the latest edition of Immortal Martial news, on what rank Tang Tian would be.

Dark horse? Bing sneered in his heart, he was extremely confident of the future.

In an army, to be brimming with talented martial artists, even for Bing who had seen so much, he was still surprised. And the cohesiveness of all of them was astonishing, it was actually an extremely united army.

A little bit of Deja Vu, Bing recalled the scene when everyone was establishing the Southern Cross Army, wasn’t it like that?

The same talented, and united people.

He suddenly laughed, he had thought too much.

Southern Cross Army was a true tyrant in their era, and for such a tyrant to be placed in any era, they would not be the least bit inferior, even the current day Lion King Lei Ang, would not be able to achieve a standard as high as the Southern Cross Army.

Stop daydreaming, there are still things to do.

In everyone’s eyes, Tang Tian was already the Master of Lupus Constellation, but Bing knew, Tang Tian would not stay. So he needed to plan everything well before Tang Tian finishes his closed door cultivation. He did not want their hard work to be taken by anyone else after spending so much time and talent on the war.

Even if they left Lupus Constellation, he needed it to be in their hands.

Tang Tian was seated cross legged and in deep thought, his face that ordinarily did not appear normal, was currently extremely concentrated.

Why am I so much weaker than Ye Zhao Ge?

I have so many varieties of Martial techniques, but in front of Ye Zhao Ge, all were useless. But, why do I have so many martial techniques? Tang Tian knew that he was not clever, so he slowly recalled and thought about the root of the problem.

Close Quarters Combat Expert!

He thought about the past, and finally understood the root cause was these four words. Old Fart Wei had suggested that he walked the road of a closed quarters combat expert, and that the class required many different types of attacks, so he himself had started to broaden his range.

Thinking about that, he did not see any mistakes. Tang Tian rubbed his forehead, ‘Why am I weaker than Ye Zhao Ge?’

Was it because close quarter combat experts are naturally weak?

Tang Tian shook his head. There were no weak professions, only that his attainments were not enough, he still understood the fundamental reasons. Tang Tian’s heart shook. ‘Are my attainments not profound enough?’

Suddenly, Tang Tian realized he had never seriously thought about the words ‘Close Quarters Combat Expert’, his understanding of close quarters combat experts was actually just to fight in close combat.

Tang Tian immediately perspired, he felt that he needed to know what a true close quarters combat expert really was.

He entered the light door, ran to Three Spirits City and sought out Bell.

“Do you know what a close quarters combat expert is?”

Bell was taken aback: “That is a very neglected type of profession.”

“Can you find images of them fighting?” Tang Tian urgently asked.

“Yes.” Bell nodded her head: “But the price will definitely not be cheap.”

“Get it!” Tang Tian said directly.

Bell did not ask much, and quickly went through her own channels and purchased a few images. All these images had exorbitant prices, spending a total of 60 plus million star coins.

Tang Tian accepted them as if they were treasures, and opened the first recording.

A robust man appeared in the image, he was not tall, figure upright and top half naked, unarmed and defenseless, but his entire body was radiating an extremely dangerous qi aura like a wild beast. His opponent was a stern looking sword-lady.

The fight between the two of them was extremely intense.

From the start, the man was suppressed by the sword-lady. But after the first minute, Tang Tian finally noticed some progress. Although the man was always suppressed, in terms of defense, he was in his own pace.

The man’s San Shou was outstanding, his defence flawless. The sword-lady was careful and maintained a distance with the man from the start, while the man was extremely patient, both of them engaging in attack and defense.

At the timing of 3 minutes 6 seconds, the sword-lady was finally unable to take it, and unleashed a powerful technique. The man in front of her suddenly shot out like an arrow, welcoming her assault.

Tang Tian was shocked. The man’s sudden explosive speed, was astonishing, like lightning, he appeared in front of the sword-lady.

The sudden change in momentum caused the sword-lady to panic, and her sword technique to be disorganized.

The man ferociously used his elbow, as though he was a mighty pillar, and struck the sword aura of the sword-lady.

His left hand was like a claw that grabbed onto her shoulders, his right palm shot out like a flick knife, a move so fast that Tang Tian was unable to take notice of the hand!

Her head flew out.

One hit, one kill!

Tang Tian broke out in cold sweat watching, so fierce!

Even though he was just watching a recording, the fierceness of it pounced onto him. He could imagine, for the sword-lady to personally take the strike, she must have immediately lost consciousness.

Direct and efficient, outstandingly fierce, this was the first recording Tang Tian saw.

The Close Quarters Combat expert in the second image was a skinny man, but his enemy was an extremely powerful light body technique archer. Watching the recording was extremely tedious, both of them attacked and defended, the skinny man was like a snake that could turn at any weird angle, there was no way to corner him.

The opponent’s arrow, regardless where it came from, could not hit him, as he could accurately avoid all of them.

The fight changed at around the 22 minute mark.

The Archer was consuming a lot of his True Power, his footwork started to gradually decrease in speed, and the distance between the two gradually shortened. At that moment, the skinny man’s body, suddenly split in 6!

6 equally identical figures, shot towards the panicked archer.

His arms were soft like a snake, suddenly coiling around the archer’s body.

Kacha!

One hit, one kill!
