Chapter 677 - Lion King Lei Ang

After the meeting had concluded, the entire Ursa Major Constellation started to move extremely quickly. Every core member that had participated in the meeting had gloomy expressions with a tinge of alertness.

They all knew that the curtains to the decisive battle had been drawn.

It was a long and challenging military campaign that was inevitable, regardless of whether it was the Honorable Martial Group and Temple or the Honorable Martial Continent, they were both mature and huge figures in their own worlds, and had a deep reservoir of wealth and power.

It was no longer like the friction in the past with the Honorable Martial Group, it was the decisive battle that one side would have to die before anyone could reset. The brutality that it had become was extremely numbing. Instead, to the ambitious youths of the Ursa Major Constellation, they saw it as an opportunity to prove themselves, they longed to do battle, looking forward to achievements, their passion and desire to stand firmly in the position as the stable old generals.

Formed through the flames of war, the youths the Ursa Major Constellation never failed in battle. The traditional provocations and challenges had become a habit to them, even if their current enemies were the Heaven’s Road’s rulers, they did not have any restraining fears. They were like their king, someone who never knew what was fear and cowardice.

Everything was conducted regularly and thoroughly despite the stifling and nervous atmosphere.

Two days later, the news shocked the entire Heaven’s Road, Ursa Major Constellation had announced that they found a brand new world!

The news spread like wildfire, all the citizens of every constellation were talking rowdily about the news. It had quickly become the hottest topic discussed.

Following that, the Ursa Major Constellation started to showcase large quantities of products that came from the new world, crystals with extremely high energy concentration, grass and wood that contained sword concepts in them, all sorts of strange weapons……

Nothing was more convincing than actual products. Everyone was completely convinced that at the end of Heaven’s Road, there was a world completely different from the Heaven’s Road. This made everyone extremely curious, what was the new world like?

Ursa Major Constellation then announced, that they were conducting auctions, to auction the things from the new world, any powerhouses or constellations were free to participate.

Everyone’s eyes were locked onto the Ursa Major Constellation, and almost every constellation sent out their own representatives, hurrying over to the Ursa Major Constellation through the days and nights. All of them would meet with many other groups that were quickly advancing towards the Ursa Major Constellation. Many independent, scattered and ambitious people had dropped everything and rushed towards the Ursa Major Constellation, thinking of participating in dredging up the land of gold.

Everyone knew that the Ursa Major Constellation had already obtained a key opportunity for any future competition. In the future, as long as the Ursa Major Constellation was able to secure this estate, they would undoubtedly be the tyrant of Heaven’s Road.

Almost everyone favoured the odds of the Ursa Major Constellation being the Heaven’s Road future tyrant. To the other constellations, it was a worrying thing, but to try and seize such a big cake from the prestigious and powerful Ursa Major Constellation, how much would be sacrificed?

The Ursa Major Constellation was overcrowded, especially Bear Head City that was the place where the auction would be held. Countless people had come from afar, just to have a glimpse of the grand affair.

After the meeting, the Three Spirits City had become calm again, the tight security had been lifted, all the armies that had been garrisoned there quickly headed towards the Ursa Major Constellation. All the indications had pointed towards the Ursa Major Constellation’s future, and thus the plan to shift Three Spirits City over to Bear Head City.

All of stealthy spies then realised. The tight security for the past few days, were just for their internal department to discuss about the new world.

Tang Tian did not leave Three Spirits City yet.

Three Spirits City that had become peaceful again, and was bustling with activity, it was currently the Heaven’s Road’s “Mechanic City”, the place where countless of mechanical engineers and mechanical martial artists gathered. The majority of the independent mechanical engineers made their homes there, on one side, there were many of the same profession there, they could advise and spar with each other, and the other was that manufacturing mechanical weapons required a great quantity of materials, and Three Spirits City was loaded with materials, as long as anyone had the funds, they could easily obtained all the uncommon materials.

As the demands were immense, many trading companies had been established, with caravans moving day in and day out with endless flows.

Three Spirits City had specialized collaborating trading companies, and thus the resources inside the bronze camp was quickly depleting. As per usual, the transport fleet would enter the bronze camp on schedule, and everything ran as normal.

But, a carriage stopped by the side, in which Tang Tian had been waiting for.

The carriage door opened and a tall, sturdy and imposing figure jumped down. When he landed, he immediately noticed Tang Tian who was waiting in the distance although he had seen Tang Tian’s image countless of times, but to personally look at him in the flesh, he still felt shocked by Tang Tian’s youth.

“The young hero!” He praised with his deep and low voice, which had a tyrannical might to it, brimming with self confidence and power: “Worthy of your style, you’re matchless beneath the heavens!”

Without feeling a bit of embarrassment, Tang Tian replied: “The Great Lion King Lei, welcome to Three Spirits City!”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Everyone around was filled with reveration. When the two spoke, no one dared to make a noise. Lion King Lei Ang was like a dazzling sun, there was a natural pressure emitting off from him, causing the air around to seem to combust. As for Tang Tian who stood beside Lei Ang, he did not have any emotions, as though Lei Ang’s powerful aura did not affect him the least bit, he stood there basking in the aura as though it was normal.

One was the tyrannical and strong Lion King, the other, the young Bear King that swooped down from the skies.

Lei Ang had been secretly observing Tang Tian, and despite the calm appearance he was showing, he was filled with shock and surprise. He could see fearlessness in the young man’s clear eyes, the burning willpower, the contempt in ruling by power, it was as though he was looking at himself when he was younger.

He could not help but think of his sons, he had initially thought that Andre and the rest were outstanding, but upon seeing Tang Tian, he then understood the great difference between them.

He controlled the distracting thoughts in his mind, and was instead met with competitiveness. His territory had long been stable, his name had reached far and wide, and even the Honorable Martial Group did not dare be reckless with him, in so many years, how many people would even be able to speak a word with him? He was long used to his tyrannical lord position that shook the heavens and earth, and he could even look down on the Honorable Martial Group. If he wanted to fight, he would fight. If he wanted war, he would give war, he had always overlooked down at others.

But facing Tang Tian, he could feel the same aura and power as himself.

It was the feeling of meeting someone the same as you, a new competitor, causing his heart that slumbered due to loneliness to wake up once again. He could not help but smile and look around: “Is this Three Spirits City? The first city in Heaven’s Road built on mechanical weapons, its name has since flourished, you will have to bring me to take a good look around.”

He was not in the least bit anxious in his arrival, but instead felt it was a good opportunity to judge Ursa Major Constellation’s strength.

The strength of the Ursa Major Constellation was a mystery to everyone. To be able to personally witness and observe them, Lei Ang had decided to assess them.

~A Lion will never make friends with wolves and jackals.~

Tang Tian did not think too much, he generously brought Lei Ang around to observe even the base. But even though he was the one leading, the person to actually describe and provide information was Pi Pa.

All the additional constructions and various new technologies that had been formed were all a strange sight even to Tang Tian.

Pi Pa explained everything detailedly: “These are the Frost Mountains, and the main force of our mechanical spirit weapons. It’s weight is a third of any ordinary mechanical spirit weapon, using a brand new type of metal with the appearance of silver and high defensive capabilities. Without an energy barrier, it can block off five attacks of a Gold Ranked Martial Artist. It uses many new technologies, it’s equipped with seven different card slots, the lowest requiring silver grade spirit cards, and can even use Gold Ranked Spirit Cards. And all the martial spirits placed inside the spirit weapons are all battle spirits. We have filtered through and conducted integration with a large quantity of shattered battle spirits, and chose out martial spirits with fighting abilities of the Silver Rank…”

“Silver Ranked Martial Spirits?” Lei Ang interrupted Pi Pa.

Pi Pa explained: “Yes. After much research on martial spirits, we have classified the strong and weak martial spirits. We use the most ordinary grading system of gold, silver, and bronze. Silver Rank Martial Spirits indicate that their intellect has reached the level of a Silver Rank Martial Artist. But as we chose all the battle spirits, they are all stronger and more experienced in nature, so they are slightly stronger.”

Lei Ang frowned: “They can replace martial artists to fight?”

“No.” Pi Pa shook her head: “The martial spirits inside mechanical spirit weapons can be considered as assistants. They have better and finer control over True Power, and help the martial artists focus better, placing the burden of battle onto the martial spirits instead.”

Lei Ang started to have an interested expression, to Leo Constellation, mechanical weapons are a new discovery. The Leo Constellation did not have a mechanical army, and all the special mechanical spirit weapons made him feel as though he had dived into a brand new world.

But as Pi Pa explained more and more, his expression became gloomy. As someone who had experienced many battles, he understood fighting very well, far more profoundly than any martial artists or generals. The existence of mechanical spirit weapons made the complicated fights simpler, and the demands in the qualities of the martial artists or soldiers to become lower.

“How long does it take to groom a qualified mechanical martial artist?” Lei Ang asked.

Pi Pa could not help but admire him, he truly was the Lion King, as he was able to grasp the problem quickly. Without hesitation, she replied: “The preparation in our mechanical martial artists barracks for Silver Rank Students to be prepared is a year. In a year, our talented students will be able to fundamentally obtain the essentials. In three years, they will become veterans. For the Bronze Rank Students, they will require more time, the initial essentials will take three years.

Lei Ang took a deep breath, he knew what that meant.

Although a traditional army was powerful, but that was through the long process of selection through countless people. And once a battle was in a stalemate, many soldiers would die, and thus a need to replenish the army, but the power of the army would drop.

But a mechanical army could keep on replenishing.

As he continued to observe, Lei Ang’s mind became more and more surprised, until he noticed a figure that was constantly sprinting back and forth on the training grounds. He subconsciously stopped in his tracks, and the forced emotionless and expressionless face finally changed.

On the mechanical spirit weapon, a blood red number was smeared.

No. 23.
