Chapter 5: The First Battle

  Before I knew it, half a year had passed.

  On this day, Man Tian held an iron hammer and gently tapped the sword embryo on the anvil. However, his force was extremely accurate, sometimes light and gentle, sometimes powerful and sonorous like thunder, as if he was not forging iron, but playing a melody.

  When the sword embryo on the anvil became thin as paper, Mo Tian's lean body was already covered with bean-sized hot sweat. He didn't stop, but instead put the sword embryo back into the furnace. After it turned red-hot, he placed it back on the anvil and struck again. This time, however, Mo Tian's force suddenly increased, and the ear-piercing sound of metal clashing echoed through the sky.

  At this time, if someone looked carefully, they would inevitably discover that the blue veins on Ban Tian's right hand were bulging, and on top of his bony right hand, it looked exceptionally ferocious and terrifying, as if a python was clinging to his arm!!

  The sword embryo on the anvil was hammered by Mo Tian countless times, until his whole body was drenched in sweat. Mo Tian's face turned paler and paler, he gritted his teeth, and a fierce glint shot out of his eyes. Suddenly, he let out a low growl, and his thin right hand, which had been raised to the air, burst forth with a faint light. If there were any strong cultivators present, they would have been shocked - a fine glow emerged from Mo Tian's body, drilling into his right hand. In the instant this glow appeared, Mo Tian brought down one hammer strike.

  "Boom!!" Like a spring thunder, the iron hammer split in two, the sword embryo turned into countless fragments under this hammer, and the anvil was actually hammered out of a fist-sized pit.

  Looking at the destruction caused by one hammer, a faint smile appeared on Mo Tian's pale face. He then slowly sat down cross-legged and quietly felt the air flow that was about to disappear! In these six months, he could summon the air flow at will, but only when he was exhausted. This made Mo Tian not like his own tribe.

  In terms of forging, Mo Tian's progress was extremely rapid. At this point, he had already become a qualified blacksmith! The sword embryo he forged surpassed his father in both toughness and sharpness. According to Mo Xing, Mo Tian's strength was enough to forge the Mo weapon, provided that Mo Tian could control the bloodline pattern.

  The barbarian king did not ask the barbarian why he didn't teach him the blood pattern, but instead pondered the barbarian's words after forging, using an iron hammer to forge a life! This sentence seems simple, but being able to achieve this level is almost equivalent to an ordinary person wanting to become a powerful man who shakes the southern border! Think about it, how can life be forged?

  Although Mo Tian had his doubts, since Mo Gong said this, there must be a reason behind it. Mo Tian didn't blindly pursue the idea of using an iron hammer to forge life; he knew that for now, it was impossible to achieve this step.

  In the midst of restoring his physical body, just as he was about to start forging again, a stern voice shouted: "Bulantian, if I hear your hammering sounds tomorrow, you will bear the consequences yourself."

  The two men, Mo Lin and Mo Shi, were even more robust than they had been six months ago, with faces that seemed chiseled from the rough stone of the wilderness. Their muscles bulged like boulders, exuding a primal power that was both fierce and beautiful. Standing before Mo Tian, they loomed like two mountains, almost blocking out his entire field of vision.

  Half a year ago, after being taught by Manzhu, the two of them lay down for a month. After recovering, they were like new people, and to this day, they have become fourth-grade barbarian warriors! As their cultivation grew, their hatred for Manzhu in their hearts did not decrease but increased instead. With Manzhu not around, they suppressed all their hatred onto Mantian. It was because of what Manzhu said back then - if he hurt a single hair on Mantian's head, he would cripple the two of them - that made them endure for half a year!

  This time, they finally found a reason to scold Tianye!

  As Mo Tian's control over the air currents became more skilled, his strength increased. The clanging sound of iron forging was very loud, but Mo Tian's home was located on the west side of the tribe, so although the noise was loud, it did not affect the tribe members' daily activities.

  The gaunt and haggard Mo Tian stood before the two of them, as fragile as a twig. Looking at their cold and indifferent faces, Mo Tian's eyebrows furrowed slightly - how could he not see through their intentions? At once, Mo Tian replied calmly: "Although your voice is loud, it shouldn't be able to reach the back mountain, should it?"

  "Tomorrow, don't let me hear it again! Otherwise, I won't guarantee that these things of yours won't turn into scrap iron!" The Savage Forest Tiger's eyes were coldly fixed on the Savage Heaven.

  Man Tian heard this and couldn't help but sneer, he walked in front of Man Lin, looking up at the man who was a head taller than him, and said in a low voice: "Is that so? Becoming a 4th rank barbarian warrior has finally allowed you to overcome your fear of the Barbarian Pillar?"

  Man Tian's words made Man Lin and Man Shi tremble simultaneously, their cold faces twisted instantly, the hatred in their hearts was all stirred up by Man Tian's sentence. In the past, Man Zhu's one kick had them lying down for a month, this was the two men's shame, they were deeply afraid of Man Zhu, but how could that be? They feared Man Zhu, and it wasn't even necessary for Man Tian to remind them.

  The enraged barbarian let out a low growl: "You're looking for death!!" His sturdy and powerful right arm stretched out, his right hand directly reaching for the barbarian's neck, as if to strangle him!

  Man Tian let out a cold hum, his body retreating one step back. His right hand clenched into a fist and launched a fierce punch at Man Lin's probing right hand. His withered arm compared to Man Lin's was like a twig versus a tree trunk! Seeing Man Tian's gaunt fist, Man Lin sneered and also clenched his right hand into a fist to meet Man Tian's attack.

  "Bang!!" The thick and heavy impact made Mo Tian's gaze, which was fixed on the barbaric sky, tremble. He looked at Mo Lin in disbelief as he retreated several steps back. Mo Tian almost got knocked flying, and it took him over a dozen steps to stop himself from falling. Stabilizing his body, Mo Tian breathed heavily, his right hand numb, his entire skeletal system feeling like it was about to shatter from the force of Mo Lin's punch!!!

  "It's no wonder he's a 4th-grade barbarian, his strength is not something that ordinary people can withstand!" Man Tian thought to himself. If it weren't for the fact that he had been sensing the airflow and strengthening his bones over the past few days, his entire skeletal system would have been shattered by this one punch! Even though he hadn't fully grasped control of the airflow yet, he was still unable to defeat Mo Lin and Mo Shi. But facing just one person, Man Tian had a 50% chance of winning.

  Wan Tian took a few deep breaths, looking at Wan Lin who was just walking backwards. His eyes narrowed slightly as he sensed the change in Wan Tian's power, which shocked him.

  Feeling the tremors of his bones and weakness, Mo Tian unexpectedly advanced instead of retreating, rapidly closing in on Mo Lin's shocked face. Mo Lin was startled to see Mo Tian approaching, his heart skipping a beat! Mo Shi, who was by their side, reacted at this moment as well. He took a quick step forward, gathering strength for a punch that broke through the air and struck towards Mo Tian.

  The barbarian king didn't flinch unexpectedly because of the barbarian rock's attack, he coldly snorted and his entire body's veins bulged out, one fist drew a semicircle to meet the barbarian rock's one fist!!

  "Boom!!!" The fists collided again, producing a massive sonic boom that shocked everyone. A stunning scene unfolded as Burstone's body flew backward and heavily landed one zhang away!!! Burlyn's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Burstone, who was lying on the ground clutching his right hand in pain and groaning.

  Is Mo Shi defeated? The power of Mo Tian actually knocked Mo Shi flying?

  His face turned pale as paper, his eyes fixed fiercely on the two of them, and he hoarsely shouted: "Get out!!"

  The barbarian Lin looked at the barbarian Shi's right hand, which had been severed from his elbow, and felt endless fear rising in his heart! When he heard the words of the barbarian Tian, his heart trembled even more, and he quickly helped up the barbarian Shi, whose muscles were trembling all over and who was sweating like rain. With a frightened glance at the emaciated barbarian Tian, he hastily departed!!

  Until the two disappeared, the fresh blood in his throat could no longer be suppressed, and he spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood!! His whole body went limp and he fell to the ground.

  The heavily panting Mo Tian lay on the ground, slowly recovering his strength. At this moment, he was thinking about whether to move out of the tribe. It wasn't that he was afraid of trouble from Mo Shi and Mo Lin again, but rather because he wanted to practice at night as well, and doing so at home would disturb his parents' rest.

  In a distance, under a big tree, an old figure stood quietly with a walking stick, lost in thought.

  PS: Some book friends said that the bone tempering is similar to the magic seeking, but in fact it is more like the barbarian tribe. Book friends who have read three books of Han Li should know that the barbarian tribe runs through all three books, and each book has a barbarian tribe! The barbarian tribe is a race that Han Li likes, so this book takes the barbarian tribe as its background! Before opening the book, I also considered seeking magic with other authors, but Han Li still insisted on it! Just to write out the domineering and powerful barbarian tribe in my heart!
