"Hey, wake up! Are you alright?"
"Wake up, wake up quickly, don't fall asleep…."
In a daze, Tang Tian seemed to hear someone shouting at him. The unfamiliar voice allowed him find a point of focus in his lost state of mind, like being in the darkness and finding a crevice which allowed a small beam of light to pass through.
His consciousness was pulled back, the voice above his head became much clearer, it was the voice of a little boy. Tang Tian opened his eyes wide slowly, what entered his vision was delicate red thorny grass that looked like sawblades, that cut his face painfully. The mud beneath his body had a rotting odour, Tang Tian felt his brain hurt, he groaned, subconsciously twisted his body, sssii, his cheek could not help but twitched, every part of his whole body was in pain.
"That's good! You're awake!" the voice above his head was filled with happiness, as two thin arms, pulled at Tang Tian. The little boy wanted to pull Tang Tian up but he wasn't strong enough.
Tang Tian was dizzy, but he still struggled to pull himself up, his movement was too large, causing him to reopen his wound, it was so painful that his entire face became twisted.
His blurred vision slowly became clear, as what entered his eyes was a land of cool beach, with dark red and fierce looking sharp sword grass, which was long and narrow like a sword. Glancing from afar, it was as if they were swords erected straight up.
Sitting in the mud, Tang Tian disorganized gaze gradually focused. The boy in front of him, was roughly 11 or 12 years old, his figure was frail and petite, his bald head was bright and glossy, his bright dark eyes gave off a hint of intelligence, and on his back was a contrasting big basket of grass.
"You saved me?"
Upon speaking, Tang Tian was shocked by his own hoarse voice.
"No." The young boy shook his head: "I just found you here, you were lying on the ground."
"What is this place?" the blank expression on Tang Tian's face gradually disappeared, he struggled to stand up, where are the others?
"Red Grass Beach." the little boy looked up and answered.
"Did you find any other people?" Tang Tian asked, his heart thinking only about the other three guys.
"No." The boy shook his head: "You have other friends around here? I did not see any other people."
Tang Tian was disappointed, he gathered up what was remaining of his strength and fiercely stepped on the ground, like a rocket, he flew into the sky at high speed. The Red Grass Beach was not big, as he was able to capture everything with a look, and did not see traces of any other people, becoming even more disappointed. Losing energy, he dropped to the ground, Little Fool was in deep sleep, so he could not fly.
The little boy saw Tang Tian fly up the sky, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Tang Tian landed, seeing the surprised look on the boy's face, he could not help but smile, he sat beside the boy, to ask for information.
He was already in Sacred Saint Galaxy, but what Tang Tian did not expect was that the Sacred Saint Galaxy was much bigger than he thought. The Sacred Saint Galaxy was divided into different systems. The Sacred Saint Galaxy had ten thousand systems, with each one being different in size. A large system could hold up to over a thousand planets, while the small systems could only have one planet.
The system that Tang Tian was at was called the Shang System. The Shang System was extremely small, with only three planets called the Green Valley, Benevolent Plains, and Red Grass Planet. Tang Tian was currently on the Red Grass Planet, which was got its name because it produced an abundance of Red Reed Sword Grass. Red Reed Sword Grass was shaped like a sword with its entire body was dark red. It was tough and durable like iron, with its root section being the only thing useable.
"This is the pith of the Red Reed." the boy raised his head, displaying his spoils of war: "They can be sold for quite a high price, however, they must be as red as blood and they are very difficult to dig."
"It really does resemble blood marrow." Tang Tian scrutinized it curiously. It was warm to the touch and as red and bright as a jade, causing him to feel that it was unique. Tang Tian was interested in it, and casually pulled out a few strands of Red Reed Sword Grass, with only one that was a dim red color: "That's powerful of you to be able to that."
The little boy raised his chest proudly, with a pleased look: "Of course! I am the most capable person in picking the piths of the Red Reed in the entire village! The Piths of the Red Reeds are only formed by Red Reed Sword Grasses which are above 200 years old. You won't be able to differentiate it from its exterior. The red reed Piths from the 200 years old plants, are able to be used to refine the grass sword."
"What is this grass sword?" Tang Tian asked.
"Of course it's a sword!" the little boy said with a face of an adult: "It's called The Red Reed Sword Grass, it naturally contains Sword Concept, by using it to refine grass swords, it is very powerful!"
(TN: Decided to change Sword Qi to Sword Concept, it definitely sounds more apt.)
"Grass sword?" Tang Tian's cheeks twitched: "What is the use of this grass sword? Won't that break upon chopping?"
The little boy looked at Tang Tian in disdain: "One look at you and I can tell that you did not study hard, you don't even have common sense, are Grass Swords used to cut? Don't tell me you are a Savager from the Savage System?"
"Savager……" Tang Tian's cheek twitched even more.
The more the little boy looked at Tang Tian, the more he felt that Tang Tian looked like one, he had a sudden realization: "So you are really a Savager, I heard Savagers have bronze skin and iron bones with extraordinary strength, but you don't look strong, but you still managed to jump into the air, it seems like you truly have a lot of strength."
"I am not a Savager……" Tang Tian explained.
"Okay, okay." the little boy patted Tang Tian's shoulders, consoling him with an attitude of an adult talking to a child: "Relax, relax, even if you are a Savager, I will not discriminate against you."
Tang Tian: "……"
"Big Brother Savage, what is your name?" The little boy asked curiously, and without waiting for Tang Tian to answer, he patted his chest and spoke: "I am called Xiao Yu."
Since it was Sacred Saint Galaxy, Tang Tian did not dare reveal his real name, in case the Temple had already reported his name to Sacred Saint Galaxy, that would be dangerous. He decided to give himself a flashy name, but what should it be? God young lad? Young God? God man? Strong man? The strongest and most awesome man?
Do I need to be more low profile……
Tang Tian said after some thought: "Call me Big Brother Meng Nan, that will do!"
"Meng Nan……" Xiao Yu's expression became stiff, he curled his lip: "Big Brother Meng Nan, you don't even look a bit fierce."
(TN: Meng Nan is Fierce Man in chinese)
Tang Tian patted his chest, he wanted to display his strength, in the end he accidentally reopened his wound, and immediately clenched his teeth, his face twitching in pain. Xiao Yu shook his head, I have truly met a Savager, and I have even heard before that Savagers like to use words like "fierce", "tyrant", "iron", "bronze" for their names, but to name himself "Fierce man", what dullness is that.
While chatting with Xiao Yu, Tang Tian checked the injuries on his body.
The energy concentration of the surroundings, made Tang Tian a little frightened. Tang Tian was sure that even the 12 Ecliptic Palaces definitely did not have energy concentration to such a terrifying extent, to the point of being able to see the energy flowing in the air.
200 percent? 300 percent?
Tang Tian could not be sure.
With such a frightening energy concentration, to any martial artist, they would be wild for joy.
Tang Tian had previously thought that the circumstances of the Sacred Saint Galaxy would be superior compared to his world, but he did not expect that it would be to such an extent. No wonder Qian Hui would say that the number of saints in the Sacred Saint Galaxy was tremendous, with such concentrated energy, the difficult of being bestowed as saints would drop greatly. According to Senior Gui Wu's theories, a baby birthed in such an environment, would be extremely intimate with energy, which is far from what a person from Heaven's Road could compare.
This environment was not advantageous to Tang Tian's Zero Energy Body, but it was extremely beneficial to Little Fool.
Little Fool could truly take advantage of it!
But seeing that Little Fool was sleeping quietly inside the Gemini Furnace, Tang Tian felt that that was better, at least Little Fool could quickly awaken.
He was currently separated from Little Xu Xu and the rest, so his first task was to find them as soon as possible.
In order to find them, Tang Tian thought of the blue dwarves.
"Xiao Yu, do you know about the blue dwarves?" Tang Tian asked
"Blue dwarves? Of course I know, they live in the Blue Marsh, and they are everyone's most hated creatures. " Xiao Yu said with a mischievous look on his face. "There are many systems with blue dwarves, they are not strong, but there's too many of them and it will be difficult to eliminate them all. Luckily they do not leave the Blue Marsh often or there would be trouble."
After listening to Xiao Yu who uses such an authoritative tone despite his tiny figure, Tang Tian thought that it was rather interesting: "So where is the nearest Blue Marsh?"
Xiao Yu scratched his bald head: "We'll have to ask an adult for this one."
Suddenly, as Tang TIan looked up, a small girl shouted at them from a faraway bush: "Xiao Yu! Your brother is injured!"
Xiao Yu's look changed drastically and he turned to run. However, due to his scrawny body, he was staggering as he ran through the tall grasses.
After witnessing the situation, Tang Tian stood up without hesitation, scooped up Xiao Yu and asked: "Which way is it?"
No matter what, Xiao Yu had saved him, now that Xiao Yu was in trouble, Tang Tian could not stand aside and watch.
Xiao Yu immediately pointed Tang Tian in the direction of the village: "That way!"
Tiang Tian grunted in acknowledgement, and shot forward like an arrow to the little girl. He scooped up the girl, putting both the girl and Xiao Yu on each shoulder, spread his legs and sprinted.
Xiao Yu and the little girl's face immediately turned pale, Tang Tian was too fast. The wind that blew on their faces were as painful as cuts, and made it difficult for them to breathe and open their eyes.
Both of them were shocked, it was the first time that they heard that a person that could run this fast, he was actually much faster than anyone in the village.
Deep down, Xiao Yu had already established the identity of Big Brother Meng Nan to be a Savager. The Savagers from the Savage System were also known to be proficient in sprinting. If Big Brother Meng Nan was not considered an expert in sprinting, then what can be considered as a sprinting expert?
Tang Tian's blurry shadow ploughed through the wilderness like a gust of wind.
Very quickly, the scenery became increasingly desolate. The ground was filled with black gravel stones and although all that was left was a dried up river bed, from the looks of its width, this river used to be grand and magnificent.
Amidst the desolate river bed that was filled with black gravel, the isolated village was in sight.
Xiao Yu pursed up his lips tightly, his face filled with anxiety.
Tang Tian dashed towards the village without saying a single word. Some villagers found it peculiar and rushed forward. However, as they saw Xiao Yu who was sitting on Tang Tian's shoulder, they showed expressions of realization and sympathy while making a few more glances at Tang Tian.
Tang Tian's demonstration of his ability was astonishing.
However, Tang Tian was even more surprised than them, his intuition was extremely sharp. The moment he saw the villagers, his heart trembled as he could detect the smell of a saint from them.
Almost every villager was a saint!
Even though Qian Hui had mentioned earlier that there were many saints in the city of saints, seeing them first hand still caused Tang Tians heart to be shocked.
"That's my house!" exclaimed Xiao Yu as he pointed to the house that was surrounded with the most people.
The house was made from stone and it covered a large area of land. Every bit of it was built using pieces of black bricks which have obvious knife markings on them.
Tang Tian saw this and did not reduce his speed. Instead, he opened his mouth and roared: "Everyone make way!"
The house that was covered tightly instantly got blown apart, like a nest exploding.
Tang Tian dashed into the house like a sharp arrow.
