201: Recognition of strength

Tang Tian activated the sword seal in his Dantian, and one hundred Thunder Swords flew up out of thin air, though they had not yet been refined.

But they were enough for now.

The Thunder Swords emitted a ringing sound and flew toward Su Granny.

Tang Tian manipulated the one hundred swords, stabbing toward Su Granny at an extremely fast speed.

Su Granny watched kindly and said:

"The momentum is quite good."

The one hundred swords formed a massive sword formation, but when they struck at Su Granny, they were blocked by her.

The one hundred swords flew up into the air and attacked Su Granny from all directions, though this was useless against a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

But there was no better way to attack.

Su Granny said:

"Since you have attacked, I naturally must attack as well."

Su Granny's Spiritual Qi struck Tang Tian's Thunder Swords, naturally not his body.

Otherwise, if a Foundation Establishment Cultivator used their full strength, Tang Tian would be finished within a minute.

With a wave of Su Granny's spiritual power, a few of Tang Tian's Thunder Swords wobbled, looking as if they were about to fall, but Tang Tian steadied them.

Su Granny said:

"That actually shows some ability."

Su Granny's spiritual power transformed into white foxes and attacked Tang Tian's Thunder Swords; Su Granny's true form was a white fox, just like Fourth Senior Sister.

As soon as the white foxes touched the Thunder Swords, Tang Tian's Thunder Swords fell to the ground.

Su Granny waved her hand, and one hundred spiritual phantoms of white foxes appeared.

Wanting to instantly knock down Tang Tian's one hundred Thunder Swords, Su Granny had the strength to release thousands of white foxes.

However, to test Tang Tian's strength, she only used one hundred.

The one hundred Thunder Swords were instantly knocked down, and Tang Tian said:

"I'm going to get serious now."

Su Granny became interested and said:

"Oh?"

Tang Tian took out one thousand Spirit Stones and began to recover his spiritual power.

Su Granny:

"..."

Fourth Senior Sister:

"..."

Fourth Senior Sister seemed to remember that Tang Tian's previous task of guarding Chi Daizi's spiritual field was completed by piling up Spirit Stones.

Tang Tian instantly absorbed the one thousand Spirit Stones, and the one hundred Thunder Swords that had been knocked down immediately flew back up.

They charged toward those white foxes, and in just a moment, the one hundred white fox phantoms were instantly destroyed.

Su Granny said:

"You do have some strength; it seems Su Ling did not look for you in vain."

Tang Tian was speechless after hearing this; it was indeed not in vain, but aside from the Thunder Swords, she hadn't given him anything else.

Su Granny continued:

"But one hundred white foxes are not enough; the power of one hundred white foxes is only equivalent to the strength of the Qi Refinement stage eight."

"Since you can now have the strength to leapfrog and fight Qi Refinement stage eight, let me see your true strength."

After saying this, Su Granny released another one thousand white fox phantoms.

Tang Tian prepared to use Evil Qi, but he had to keep it in check, ensuring it didn't exceed his strength at the Lianqi Seventh Level.

Tang Tian directly solidified one thousand strands of Evil Qi and one thousand Cold Feathers, and a slow-forming Ice Lotus appeared in his hand.

Seeing the fusion technique, both Fourth Senior Sister and Su Granny watched in amazement.

Then Tang Tian let go, and the seemingly small Ice Lotus flew forward.

Wherever the Ice Lotus flew, the ground froze into ice.

When it touched the one thousand white fox phantoms, it suddenly exploded, directly enveloping them.

When the mist dissipated, more than two hundred of the one thousand white fox phantoms had been destroyed.

Su Granny withdrew the other white fox phantoms and said:

"You killed two hundred and thirty of them; your strength is equivalent to the Qi Training Ninth Level. Not bad."

Killing over two hundred white foxes only amounted to the Qi Training Ninth Level; it seemed the Qi Training Ninth Level was truly strong.

Fourth Senior Sister said:

"I didn't expect Junior Brother to be this strong."

Tang Tian was not surprised by this result, because he had previously killed a Qi Training Ninth Level Cultivator from the Ning Family.

Su Granny said:

"Su Ling, the person you found this time is quite good."

Su Ling nodded and said:

"I also didn't expect Junior Brother to be so strong; it really surprised me. Junior Brother, why don't you show your secrets to Senior Sister?"

Tang Tian pretended not to hear and said:

"What secret?"

Fourth Senior Sister said:

"Junior Brother, you are so heartless! I even introduced the second greatest beauty of my Qing Huai Fox Clan to you, and yet you treat me like this."

Su Granny said:

"Alright, Tang Tian, is it? Tell us your secret, and my Fox Clan will not treat you unfairly."

Tang Tian said:

"This Cultivation Technique is the Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword, a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation Technique, given to me by Mr. Zhu."

Originally, upon hearing that it was a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation Technique, both were very happy, but after hearing that it came from Mr. Zhu...

The excitement on their faces instantly vanished.

Su Granny said:

"Since it was given to you by Zhu He, he must care quite a bit about you, so we cannot get involved with this Cultivation Technique."

"It seems you really are his Disciple."

Tang Tian nodded and said:

"That's right."

Su Granny said:

"Then are you going to participate in the Literary Examination or the Martial Examination in a few months?"

Tang Tian said:

"The Martial Examination."

Su Granny said:

"The Martial Examination is easier to handle; you should be able to reach the Qi Training Ninth Level in seven months."

The Martial Examination was to be held seven months later.

Su Granny continued:

"However, whether your fellow Senior Brothers can pass the Literary Examination is another matter. If they cannot pass, it will be useless even if you reach the Qi Training Ninth Level."

"You'll be killed either way; to be honest, you all are in a pretty miserable situation."

Tang Tian:

"..."

Su Granny sighed and said:

"It's a pity that Zhu He's background is too significant, otherwise my Fox Clan would definitely have collected this Cultivation Technique."

Tang Tian asked:

"How significant is Mr. Zhu's background?"

Tang Tian felt that since he was Mr. Zhu's Disciple, he should understand a bit about his background.

Although Tang Tian knew that someone capable of using a Disciple's Luck to improve their own strength and Cultivation Technique was definitely no ordinary person.

Fourth Senior Sister explained:

"Our Fox Clan's Golden Core Cultivator in Tianji City sent word that we must absolutely not provoke Zhu He."

Tang Tian asked:

"Is that all?"

At least Shopkeeper Xun and the others knew that Mr. Zhu was a big shot from the First City of Great Lin.

It felt like Fourth Senior Sister and the others knew so little.

Fourth Senior Sister said:

"Our Fox Clan's Golden Core Cultivator is scared to death of the Lady Qingmu; it's already good enough that they were able to send a message back."

Tang Tian said:

"The Fox Clan's Golden Core Cultivator?"

Fourth Senior Sister said:

"She is my sister."

Tang Tian had already imagined a very old face.

Then Fourth Senior Sister's words interrupted Tang Tian's thoughts, and she said:

"When I was little, she would often hold me around her waist to play."

In that case, Fourth Senior Sister's sister was only in her thirties, and for a Cultivator, thirty was still just a child.

Tang Tian said in shock:

"A thirty-year-old Golden Core Cultivator!"

This was beyond Tang Tian's imagination.

Fourth Senior Sister said:

"This is also because she received a lot of talent enhancement from the Lady Qingmu; otherwise, why do you think she doesn't dare to come back?"

Tang Tian:

"..."

Fourth Senior Sister chuckled and said:

"Junior Brother, let's not talk about so much for now; let's first discuss what your Ice Lotus is."

Tang Tian had to use the Ice Lotus in this battle at the Azure Wave Immortal Pool against those Yao Beasts, so he decided to give them a heads-up so it would be easier to use later.

Tang Tian said:

"The Evil Qi I use is from the Earthly Fiend Fist Cultivation Technique, and the Cold Feather is from the Frost Palm Cultivation Technique; Fourth Senior Sister knows this."
