Lin Wei and the rest were subdued, they had been in Three-Spirits City for quite some time, but never had they suffered such a vexing setback.

Luo Yi suddenly raised his head, “That fellow is only at the third level, how could he possess a sixth level Spirit General?”

This question attracted the attention of the others. That’s right, Tang Tian was obviously just at the third level, how is he able to possess a sixth level Spirit General? To the big clans with long term accumulation, obtaining a Spirit General was far easier than practising techniques, thus they were far more experienced than normal people in the study of Spirit Generals. They had long discovered that for any martial artist, they could only possess a Spirit General which was at most one level higher than themselves.

If the mismatch of levels between the Spirit General and the martial artist was equivalent to more than two levels, it was very easy for a dangerous situation to occur.

Yu Xi contemplated for a moment, “Perhaps it is due to the other Spirit General beside him, and it is very odd that the Spirit General actually has no face. I couldn’t guess its True Power level, and I’m afraid that it has an unusual origin.”

Hua Ling pursed her lips, with her red eyes, “He actually scolded me for not knowing proper decorum! He is so detestable!”

Yu Xi took a deep breath before continuing, “This is also one reason why I suspected his origins. Removing and offering of swords, I have read this on books before, this is an ancient decorum where captives surrendered and offered their weapons. Nowadays, no one does this anymore, yet he still observes these ancient decorum… …”

The others’ expressions darkened, as to big clans like theirs, decorum signified their statuses. They have always honour the long history of ancient decorum, and all clans and families would attempt to pull strings with nobilities of long history, for it is such decorum that enabled them to look dignified and profound, and that is how they can mock the upstart families.

If Tang Tian heard all of this, he would definitely take it as nonsense.

But for Lin Wei and company, they became grave and serious, because they knew perfectly well how resolute the big clans were in their pursuit of ancient decorum.

“Removing and offering of the sword? I have never heard of such decorum.” Lin Wei shook his head, “Which dynasty did it originate from?”

“The Three Big Armies Dynasty,” Yu Xi replied.

The others gasped, and Luo Yi stuttered, “I don’t think there are any existing big clans with such long history!”

“Definitely not!” Lin Wei was firm, “But it may be a branch clan, where the ancestors traced back to that era.”

Yu Xi suddenly asked, “Did anyone notice where he hung the sword in the end?”

“Seemed to be hung on the ostrich’s body,” Lin Wei recalled.

“Yup, it was hung beside the saddle. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but I have seen on a few ancient paintings of the Southern Cross Army that they hung their trophies at the exact same spot.” Yu Xi continued, “Furthermore, removing and offering of sword was the surrendering ceremony back then.”

Everyone looked flabbergasted.

Yu Xi was very attentive to details, and her family clan had the most prominent background out of the four of them. Thus, she was much more knowledgeable than them. Besides, this was an inconspicuous detail, and because it was inconspicuous, it appeared even more credible.

That young lad… … what exactly was his background?

All of them were crestfallen, as their clans do not care about them, no matter how they misbehaved. However, if they offend any notable clans, their clans will have to suffer as well. Hua Ling began to wail and cry.

Yu Xi tried to comfort the others, “Don’t worry, if he is really who we think he is, since he has agreed to let us redeem ourselves, it meant that our past feuds have been resolved.”

Everyone was still as gloomy as before.

Tang Tian had long forgotten all the unpleasantness earlier.

He rode on the ostrich and bolted through the streets, attracting much attention from the passer-bys. The ostrich may not look gorgeous, but its massive build, coupled with its agility and fast speed, amazed everyone.

“Wow, wow, wow, Uncle Bing, so you guys were originally this great, being able to ride this bird every day!” Tang Tian hugged the neck of the ostrich and screamed excitedly. He had never travelled so fast before, it was as if he were flying.

“Only recruits ride on the bird!” Bing, who was floating behind Tang Tian, casually replied.

“Then what did you use to ride?” Tang Tian asked curiously.

“… … I also rode a bird… …” Bing looked blank, but quickly added in, “As an instructor, I must set a good example! It was definitely not because I was weak… …”

“Back then, it must have been exhilarating to be able to ride the ostriches and charge with them every day!” Tang Tian felt that it must be extremely fun to be able to travel so swiftly everyday.

“It was actually very boring.” Bing honestly revealed. “You will feel nauseous after you ride for too long.”

“Oh, really? But it’s such a fun thing to do, why would you feel nauseous?” Tang Tian could not imagine why.

“The Ostrich Tactic includes six majors and thirteen minors, and you can only pass if you attain seventy percent of the grades,” Bing explained.

“Wow, seems very fun just from listening!” Tang Tian eyes widened.

“Very fun?” Bing scoffed, “The easiest content is to bypass twelve randomly placed stakes, within two seconds.”

Tang Tian was shocked, “Impossible!”

To bypass twelve randomly placed stakes in just two seconds is definitely impossible! Although the ostrich has amazing explosive power, the highest it can achieve is a sixth level standard, but because of its massive build and weight, it has high inertia, thus it is impossible to complete such a complicated stunt in that short amount of time.

“Impossible?” Bing rigid voice sounded as usual, “It’s very simple.”

Simple?

Tang Tian was blank for a moment, before exclaiming, “Uncle Bing, I didn’t know you guys were so formidable back then! Why not teach me the Ostrich Tactic then!”

“These tactics are already outdated.” Bing’s voice had a tinge of sadness, “Things that were destined to fail have no value.”

“Why?” Tang Tian shook his head, “It is awesome in my opinion. Those simple things that Uncle Bing spoke of, I don’t think many people could achieve it.”

“Time is the fairest judge.” Bing’s voice was back to normal, “Annihilation, meant that its era has past.”

Tang Tian wanted to argue, but a signboard at the far end of the street that he saw out of the corner of his eye immediately caught his attention, “Sai Lei Card Store! It’s there! Little ostrich, go!”

The ostrich took off using one leg, bent its body, and with a light turn, charged towards Sai Lei Card Store noisily.

In the eyes of Bing who was floating behind Tang Tian, it was as though he were seeing the recruits from back then.

Upon reaching the store entrance, Tang Tian applied the emergency brakes and the ostrich steadily came to a stop.

Tang Tian jumped down from the ostrich’s back.

“Eh! The bronze mechanical ostrich!” A red-haired beauty rushed out upon seeing the ostrich and her eyes instantly lit up. She circled the ostrich, touching here and there, with a few occasional gasps.

“Are you Sai Lei?” Tang Tian looked at the red-haired beauty before him.

The fiery red hair was like a burning flame, the short and tight-fitting black leather skirt accentuated her perfect curves, the black stockings, the stilettos that were as high as a long nail, the voluptuous breasts, the captivating sexy red lips, the pair of eyes which were as blue as the ocean beneath the long eyelashes, with three tiny tear-shaped moles below the left eye.

“Little brother, how about giving this ostrich to Elder Sister?” The red-haired beauty lifted her head and flashed a captivating smile, with eyes shooting hearts out and her breasts bulging.

Tang Tian shook his head, “No way!”

The red-haired beauty’s smile froze, complaining under her breath, “Is he too young? How come this tactic doesn’t work anymore?”

Tang Tian couldn’t care less, he asked inquisitively, “ Are you Sai Lei?”

The red-haired beauty stood up, swept her fiery red hair, and flirtatiously replied, “I am Sai Lei! Little brother, if you want to woo me, I will agree as long as you give this ostrich to me.”

She winked at Tang Tian, and the strong seductive waves paralysed the passer-bys nearby, where one even walked into the drain.

She bent her body, flaunting her cleavage provocatively, her voice was alluring and sexy, “By then, I will do what you want of me!”

Tang Tian shook his head adamantly, “I only like Qian Hui.”

Sai Lei’s expression stiffened, she straightened up and her seductive looks were all gone without a trace. She huffily said, “Speak, what business do you have with me?”

“I’m here to purchase spirit cards,” Tang Tian revealed the reason for his visit.

“Come in,” Sai Lei said coldly and entered the store.

Tang Tian followed in curiousity. Upon entering, he was entranced by a wall full of spirit cards. Yu Bao was right, Sai Lei Card Store had low rank cards, the highest Tang Tian saw was only a rank five card, but there were numerous rare and bizarre cards.

“Who recommended you here?” Sai Lei lit up a cigarette and puffed, half-closing her pretty eyes and with an air of lethargy, “Don’t tell me you found it by yourself, my store isn’t a famous shop.”

“Yu Bao,” Tang Tian replied.

Sai Lei was stunned, his answer was not what she expected. Suddenly, she reacted, “Was this ostrich found from his store too?”

“Accurate guess!” Tang Tian replied, “We bought a pile of junk and pieced it up ourselves.”

“You pieced it yourself?” Sai Lei straightened up and put down her cigarette.

“Yes, Uncle Bing pieced it,” Tang Tian pointed to the floating Bing.

Sai Lei had long noticed the two Spirit Generals behind Tang Tian, especially Bing. Bing’s face was akin to a whiteboard, and it was simply too attention-grabbing. On hearing that the ostrich was put together by Bing, her eyes had an odd look.

She took a puff, and said rather meaningfully, “Such proficiency in such ancient mechanics, he must be some formidable person.”

“That’s right!” Tang Tian nodded approvingly, “Uncle Bing is very formidable!”

Alright… …. What clues can you expect to fish out from this kid… … Such naivety… …

Sai Lei placed her elbow on the table and held her chin, under the lighting of the dimly lit store, she appeared to be like a charming sculpture, “Alright, back to the cards, what cards do you want to purchase, young lad?”
