Chapter 27: Tiger Leap

  Surprisingly, with your support, we rushed to 13th place. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it to the top 12. Because only the top 12 are considered on the list, thank you for everyone's support, otherwise, we wouldn't have even made it to 13!

  Because it was the middle of the month, most disciples were immersed in their cultivation, and there weren't many who came to the Tian Xuan Pavilion. When Man Tian arrived, Old Luo was sweeping the leaves in front of the pavilion with a broom, his movements very slow, gathering all the leaves into one pile. Seeing Man Tian's arrival, Old Luo didn't stop, but continued sweeping.

  The barbarian saw this and did not disturb them, standing quietly on one side waiting.

  Until all the leaves in front of the Tianxuan Pavilion were swept away, several disciples entered the Tianxuan Pavilion to exchange materials with other staff members and left. Only then did Luo Lao stop sweeping. He looked at Man Tian, glanced at the barbaric instrument in his hand, and said calmly: "The precision of forging is not about quantity!"

  Man Tian was taken aback, and understood the underlying meaning of Man Lao's words. He said: "Lao Luo, the reason I've been forging so many barbarian artifacts is that I want to exchange them for more materials, and forge my own weapons."

  Lao nodded slightly and said, "Nowadays young people are too impatient with their cultivation and tempering. They don't know that this is actually against the great taboo. Do you know what I was doing before?"

  "Sweep the floor!" Wu Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he replied truthfully.

  "Is it really sweeping?" Luo Lao said, carrying the broom into the Tianxuan Pavilion, leaving behind a stunned Man Tian.

  "Isn't that so?" Man Tian was shrouded in mist, what was Old Luo doing before sweeping the floor? But since Old Luo said so, he must have had his reasons. Could it be... Old Luo wasn't sweeping the floor, but cultivating his heart? Man Tian suddenly remembered Li Fan's words "Tempering is the heart, forging is the vessel", and after a long time of contemplation, he finally understood.

  Forging is not necessarily about forging things, but rather a means of cultivating one's mind. Mo Tian was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't sink into it for too long. He knew that even if he understood Lao Laoshi's words, he still had to work hard to learn the art of forging. However, this sentence made Mo Tian's understanding of forging deeper.

  Entering the Tianxuan Pavilion, I saw Luo Lao sitting in his seat, his eyelids slightly drooping, as if he was deep in thought and also seemed to be waiting for something.

  "Thank you, Old Luo!" said Man Tian, walking forward respectfully.

  "Don't thank me, I didn't say anything!" Luo Lao said nonchalantly, glancing at the Mo Tian's hand holding the Mo instrument. "What do you want to exchange for it?"

  "Mysterious Iron Fine Sand"

  "Flint"

  ……

  Man Tian reported nearly ten kinds of forging materials. Luo Lao heard this and looked at Man Tian with surprise, saying: "You want to forge a fifth-grade barbarian artifact?" The materials that Man Tian reported were all necessary for a fifth-grade barbarian artifact.

  "Exactly!" Mo Tian nodded.

  "If it's successful, I'll give you these materials. If it fails, you can come back later!" Old Luo said calmly and walked in.

  The materials required for the five-product barbarian device are much more expensive than those of the three-product barbarian device. Although I knew that the materials were precious, I didn't expect that forty sets of three-product barbarian devices would still be insufficient. Looking at Old Luo's figure and then at the other young disciples in charge of distributing materials, Mo Tian guessed that Old Luo was actually the person in charge of the Tianxuan Pavilion. Therefore, if he could entrust the Tianxuan Pavilion to Old Luo with peace of mind, it must mean that Old Luo's identity was not simple.

  Soon, Old Man Luo walked over with a storage bag in his hand and placed it in front of Man Tian, saying: "A fifth-grade savage device requires the blood of a third-grade fierce beast. Although I don't know what kind of blood pattern you want to use, it should be enough. This storage bag is temporarily given to you, and you can return it slowly later."

  He took over the storage bag in a daze, he didn't think that Old Luo would give himself such a precious thing. He clasped his fists and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Old Man!"

  "If you want to thank, then thank Xiao Guzong. Xiao Guzong will always provide any help for the truly tempered people! Go!" Old Luo waved his hand and said.

  Man Tian didn't say much more, took the storage bag and left the Tian Xuan Pavilion. However, all the other disciples of the Tian Xuan Pavilion cast envious glances at him, but no one dared to say another word.

  He tied the storage bag around his waist, and with a sigh of relief, things went more smoothly than he had imagined. His gratitude to Luo Lao also increased! Tian Bu didn't immediately return to his residence to start forging, but instead came to Lei Ting's hammer, only to find Gu Tu Pan sitting there, gazing up at the handle of the Lei Ting hammer. Tian Bu sat down under the Lei Ting hammer as usual.

  This time, his goal was to see if the Thunder Hammer was really perfect.

  Sinking into it, the barbarian sky was unaware that two figures were slowly approaching from behind. One of them had a sturdy build and a pale complexion, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. When he saw the cross-legged barbarian sky, his face froze for a moment before shooting out cold, sinister rays. He clenched his fists and looked at the robust white-clothed man beside him, saying in a low voice: "Big brother, it's him who trampled me underfoot and forced Red Dragon's younger brother, Red Tiger, to not dare participate in the assessment!"

  The young man beside him, his eyes flashing with a fierce light between opening and closing, followed the pale-faced man's gaze to the barbarian sitting under the Thunder Hammer, his eyes sank, his body swayed, and he rushed forward like a fierce tiger towards the barbarian.

  This pale-faced man is actually the Hu Yan who was trampled by Man Tian, and this man is Hu Yan's brother Hu Yue! In their first battle, he made Hu Yan lie in bed for a month. After his initial recovery, he endured for half a month until his brother came out of seclusion, then went to look for Man Tian everywhere but didn't expect to run into him here today.

  The tiger leaped with a speed that was unmatched, and when it reached the back of the barbarian sky, its right foot lifted up fiercely and kicked towards the barbarian sky's back. If nothing unexpected happened, the barbarian sky would inevitably be kicked flying and collide with the Thunder Hammer under this kick.

  Man Tian originally wanted to perfect the Thunder Hammer, but he hadn't entered a deeper level of comprehension. Feeling the powerful gust of wind coming from behind him, he thought it was too late to dodge. With his left hand supporting himself on the ground, Man Tian's body suddenly used the force of his left hand to propel himself into the air, and with a fierce cry, he kicked out a foot in a wild and violent manner towards the rear.

  "Bang! Bang!!" A strong collision, a loud muffled sound exploded, startling the nearby Gutu.

  Man Tian's eyes blazed with anger as he gazed at the newcomer, and upon seeing Hu Yue in front of him, Man Tian didn't say much. Instead, he coldly smiled at Hu Yue and said, "A elite disciple sneak attacking a ordinary disciple on Mount Cuo, is this what it means to be a Li Feng disciple?" From Hu Yue's white robes, Man Tian could tell that Hu Yue was a Li Feng disciple!

  His eyes gleamed with a fierce light, the collision of his feet made him feel astonished at the power of the Barbarian Heaven, but this did not make him fear in the slightest! The disciple of the Power Peak pursued the ultimate power! With a frantic attack to defeat the enemy. He took a big stride forward, and a fist containing thunderous momentum smashed towards the Barbarian Heaven.

  Entering the realm of Quan Ti, Man Tian's agility and eyesight are no longer what they used to be. At the moment when he bursts out with his fists, Man Tian advances instead of retreating, and a dragon-shaped big slash strikes out.

  "Boom!!" The dull thud of the impact attracted the attention of people around, while Gu Tu stood by and watched this battle! When he saw Man Tian Jiang's tiger-like charge being repelled, his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

  He took a few steps back, and his eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the Man Tian, whose body was radiating a brilliant bronze glow with intricate patterns. His gaze narrowed slightly, and he couldn't believe that Man Tian was also an expert in Quenching Body Realm. The tiger behind him was even more stunned, rubbing his eyes in disbelief, unwilling to accept what he saw before him.

  Tempering Body Realm? This person has actually entered the Tempering Body Realm?
