The Wolf Stronghold was now established. The stronghold would be used to guard the Season Fields Waterway and defend Andromeda City.

It was not the first time Angelina was here, but the place gave her a different vibe every time she came. The weather had just turned cold. In the midst of the engulfing mist, the lofty bronze stronghold exuded a malevolent aura.

She gazed at the towering structure while her confidence grew. Tang Tian had done it again and it was beyond what she had expected. The Wolf Stronghold’s progress was swift. The purity of the bronze materials and the meticulous craftsmanship made the structure look magnificent. But it was evident that there was a troop of mechanical martial artists that were supporting Tang Tian in the shadows.

During this time, several groups of merchants from the Andromeda Constellation had entered the Lupus Constellation, establishing stronger ties between them.

Tang Tian turned to Tang Yi: “Once the Wolf Stronghold is established, we will set off. Everything here will be your responsibility.

“Yes!” Tang Yi agreed without hesitating.

“Whatever you need, just let Crane know.” Tang Tian continued.

Tang Yi shook his head: “Nothing at all.”

It was true that he required nothing at all. His men were the first to don the Andromeda’s Battle Robes. The cost of the Energy Room was also covered by Tang Tian. Even the cost of the establishment of the Wolf Stronghold had been covered. Every one of Tang Yi’s requests had been satisfied by Tang Tian.

Take for example the Andromeda’s Battle Robes. It was the first time the Lupus Army had donned such battle armor. As there was a large amount of Energy Beasts, Angelina had started to research on other battle equipment such as the Andromeda Boots in hopes of creating an entire Andromeda battle suit. One could imagine the immense battle strength the Lupus Army would possess once they were equipped with the Andromeda battle suits.

Only the core personnel within the army would be able to benefit from this equipment.

Tang Yi was not the slightest bit frustrated when Bing did not have any expectations of the Lupus Army. Because in terms of the cost and strength of the Lupus Army, it was merely a cannon fodder for the main army. Had Tang Yi not spent that amount of effort and time training this army, he would not have cared as much as he did now about the troops.

Tang Tian was entirely the opposite of Bing. He had high expectations of the Lupus Army and was wholly supportive of its training, which was not normal for a commander of his stature.

But that was how Tang Tian perceived the Lupus Army. His support for the army was limitless, and even supported Tang Yi to lead the cannon fodder army.

That was why Tang Yi and the entire Lupus Army were willing to risk their lives for Tang Tian.

They were willing to be called the Cannon Fodder Army as long as they were under Tang Tian’s command.

There was no reason for them to continue being frail and impotent as an army under Tang Tian.

Tang Yi was reserved and, habitually, hid his emotions. He followed closely beside Tang Tian as he always did.

“Are you guys really going?” Angelina could not stop herself from asking as she was anxious. Tang Tian and his gang had the formidable strength to stop any possible intrusion. If they were to go, the city would be vulnerable to attacks.

“Yes, we will be on our way to find Qian Hui!” Tang Tian looked across the horizon as he frowned: “I wonder how is Qian Hui?”

“Are you referring to Shangguan Qian Hui from the Immortal Constellation?” Angelina asked curiously. The relationship between Tang Tian and Qian Hui was no secret. As Tang Tian’s reputation grew, more people were interested in his past.

Caramel Academy was currently the most famous academy in the Wu An Star as it developed countless strong fighters. Even young fighters from the other constellations would travel all the way here to attend the Caramel Academy. The principal, Old Fart Wei, carved on a piece of slab the words “The Godlike Academy” and hung the slab at the front of the Academy.

“Hey, you also know about it.” Tang Tian asked: “Have I told you before? I don’t recall doing that though.”

“You did not tell me before. I read it from Immortal Martial News.” Angelina explained: “There was a period when the Immortal Martial News kept reporting about you in detail.”

“Wow! What did it say?” Tang Tian was curious as he eyes gaped wide.

Angelina was taken aback by Tang Tian’s curiosity: “It reported some of your battle victories as well as your past.”

Tang Tian was slightly disappointed: “I wondered why they did not despatch someone to interview me. I have tons of other battle results and they are all good. These people from the Immortal Martial News are so disrespectful for not asking me directly!”

Angelina didn’t know what to say. This guy…couldn’t he have more of a master’s demeanor?

“And the news also covered on Shangguan Qian Hui.”

“Qian Hui!” Tang Tian’s eyes brightened up and asked: “What did they say?”

Angelina was once again taken aback by Tang Tian’s expression. When was the last time someone was so curious about the safety of others? Besides father I believe.

Her mind suddenly surfaced the cold and mysterious figure, laughing by himself, even if everyone in the world died, he would not be moved.

“They said that Shangguang Qian Hui is isolated by a strong energy force. They were unable to detail where that source of energy was from. But, the star power of Perseus Constellation is recovering at an unexpectedly swift rate. Even the constellation’s treasures are strengthening in power. There is only one possibility for these events to happen, which is that Perseus Constellation has recovered its full strength and your Qian Hui has become stronger.”

(TN: I used to translate Perseus Constellation as Immortal Constellation.)

Qian Hui…

Tang Tian stared blankly into space.

*****

The sky was grey as ever and the field spread out endlessly across the horizon.

On top of a protruding cliff, a young lady dressed a green military uniform and a pair of white gloves stood in the distance.

Just behind Shangguan Qian Hui stood another young lady donning a similar outfit who looked cold and detached. Her short bright red hair grasped the attention of others.

As the wind blew her hair, it exposed her delicate pale face.

“General, are you thinking of Tang Tian?” The red haired maiden asked: “In the midst of a crucial battle, commander, you are preoccupied by the thoughts of your partner. It is troubling to know that your focus is not here.”

Shangguan Qian Hui looked the other way as she tried to hid her emotions: “I have always been thinking about Big Brother Tang Tian, and we have been through countless of battle. It hurts to hear that Xiao Ran, you have no faith in me.”

Xiao Ran replied: “General, can you not be so open? You are a lady nonetheless, you have to be more reserved”

“Only the lovers who are able to constantly meet each other have the qualifications to be reserved.” Shangguang Qian Hui’s sight was slightly blurred. She suddenly stood up and adjusted her battle robe: “Reminiscing about him provides me with the source of motivation to constantly fight to my utmost abilities.”

Xiao Ran was speechless.

After adjusting her robes, Qian Hui regained her composure as her sight cleared. Though she had a delicate look, she expressed an unwavering determination.

Xiao Ran’s passion burned brightly within her. The Qian Hui right in front of her now was the general she knew and respected.

She was the battle god that Xiao Ran knew from the countless battles that they had fought together which was so far a blood-soaked journey to their goal.

“Have you found any information regarding our enemies?” Qian Hui grasped onto her gloves tightly.

“Yes I have!” Xiao Ran replied: “It is an old division of the Scorpio Army. After they died, they became spirit generals and have remained together since. The most powerful of them all was a general of the Scorpio Army in the past. He would present a slight problem for us.”

Qian Hui nodded “Let’s set out then.”

When she entered the Southern Cross (Crux) Constellation, she did not expect to arrive at the historic battle ground where the 3 major armies battled, with all sides suffering major casualties. The battle gave rise to countless deaths, leading to the formation of spirit generals who had not dissipate from the battleground.

She relied on her remaining strength to defeat the spirit generals and formed an army to seek a route out of the place.

Qian Hui followed closely to the path. Below the hill, she could see a contingent of spirit generals who stood solemnly.

She stared down at the contingent but her heart was not in the battlefield.

My reminiscence of you is the strongest and sharpest sword I can muster!

She continued down the path as the wind grew stronger.

Qian Hui walked towards a Spirit Horse and climbed onto it. Her black hair flowed with the wind.

“Let’s go!”

*****

The Manor of the Andromeda’s City.

“Since the appearance of the crazy young man, the number of sentries have doubled.” Crane stated: “Looks like our crazy young man still attracts people.

Ling Xu was slightly annoyed with the comment: “I have told you earlier to let us handle them. Then that would have been the end of it.”

His strength had increased recently, hence he was yearning for some battle experience. He saw the sentries as pesky houseflies. The only reason he could resist from attacking them till, was all due to Crane’s efforts.

“It’s best to understand their intention first.” Crane replied.

“This would be so cumbersome!” Ling Xu replied in annoyance as he strutted back to the training room.

Once he reached the room, Ling Xu face grew pale. He released the bandages that was tied to his body. His entire body was silver in colour.

His body was completely transforming into silver.

He suddenly turned the sharp end of his spear to face him and plunged it into his chest. Ding! There was no sign of scars on his body from that jab.

He had turned into a beast.

But Ling Xu let out a laugh instead. The pain was more pronounced than before. The pain of the silver transformation he was enduring now was a hundred times more than what he previously felt.

At the same time, his spear technique has grown in strength as well.

Those lofty goals that were seen as distant were not reachable. These goals served as a driving force for him to surmount his pain.

But, Teacher would not have thought of him reaching this stage.

Ling Xu expressed a long yearning for his teacher. His teacher knew that to master the Pointed Sea Spear, no, it is called Aries Spear of Stars, would require such sacrifice.

But Teacher, Little Xu is not afraid of the pain. Little Xu is only afraid he is unable to change his fate despite all this effort put in!

Ling Xu wore back the bandages to cover his body. They were of no use in soothing his pain anymore, but Ling Xu had gotten used to using the bandages as he covered himself tightly with them.

He donned on his Golden-white robe and grabbed the Silver Spear beside him.

Ling Xu’s eyes let out a tinge of coldness.

Without any warning, his spear pierced through the walls with a slight flick of his wrist.

A groan was heard from outside the walls.
