The blood meridians specialists of Three Spirits City were all mobilized to the different cities of Onyx Soul.

In the short time, it was definitely difficult to research out a new poison, but that did not mean they had no ideas. After over 10 years of being in the blood meridians industry, who did not have a few friends?

Old Man Fei and the rest all came from Onyx Soul, and had deep connections with Onyx Soul. Maybe it was because of their character, that they did not feel accomplished in Onyx Soul, but they still had contacts within.

When they were all mobilized everywhere, it caused all the blood meridians specialists in the entire Onyx Soul to become disturbed.

Especially when they heard Honorable Martial Group confidently saying that "Honorable Martial Group holds a powerful and resourceful Blood Meridians Specialist Group", Onyx Soul immediately went into an uproar.

Honorable Martial Group"s blood meridians specialists?

Upon hearing that, they all started to sneer.

Ignoring the fact that both sides were mortal enemies, fighting in the light and in darkness, to have such a good opportunity, if they were to let it go, it would be letting the heaven down. With those words, the blood meridians specialists of Onyx Soul could no longer resist.

They are treating us as dead people right?

Onyx Soul Blood Meridians Specialists all became eager to test things out.

Till the point where Bing pa.s.sed on a handwritten announcement happily, allowing Old Man Fei and the rest to spend money at Onyx Soul various cities to disseminate without restraint, all of the cities which were working under cover immediately exploded.

"…..All of you have worked your hearts out, neglecting sleep and forgetting food, with your talents, you have all accomplished masterpieces! You believe it can change the world, you believe that they are priceless, and believe they will be left in history books. But they are all quietly lying in the dusty corner where no one cares, you are unable to confirm whether it truly works or not, you worry about not knowing how to reveal its worthiness! Come, join this important battle! History"s first poison battle! The most cruel battle of them all, the peak showdown, is about to begin, the prestige of being the worthy poison, Ursa Major Constellation waits respectfully for your n.o.ble masterpieces to descend!"

After the awe-inspiring and jaw dropping announcement was made, all the blood meridians specialists almost went crazy.

The research on poison, was not a mainstream research of blood meridians studies, and the usage of poison was never truly recognized. There was a lack of employing the use of poisons, causing their usage to have never been convincing. Also in the market, the price of high level poisons were not high, causing the blood meridians specialists who researched poison to be much poorer.

No name, no money, no position, that was the situation of the poison research blood meridians specialists.

So when the announcement was spread to the Onyx Soul cities, it immediately impacted their hearts. Who did not want to be recognized? Who did not want to be rich? Who did not want to be respected wherever they went?

The war in Ursa Major Constellation had attracted the eyes of Heaven"s Road, using such an opportunity to become famous, that was multiplying their worth!

And being a serious battle, comparing to what convincing ability, what better chance would there be?

Old Man Fei and the rest admired Master Bing"s method, if the words were put in any other way, the result would have been different. They were immediately surrounded by countless Onyx Soul Blood Meridians Specialists.

"I can join in the battle, my poison, has a unique technique to be used, and I am an expert in various poisons…."

"Do I need any cost? No, for free! I promise that I can obey any orders! As long as you let me join in…."

"This is my special compound made up of 30 different agents, and I am a highly experienced poison research blood meridians specialist, I have plenty of fighting experience, and am able to adapt to all sorts of situations…"

Old Man Fei and the rest were going crazy, and had no choice but to carefully and tactfully decline the pa.s.sionate and almost crazy blood meridians specialists. Finally, the few of them could only leave unhappily, leaving a big amount of poison agents.

In the blink of an eye, every Onyx Soul City"s poison agents were compiled and formed a small mountain. There were many blood meridians specialists from Onyx Soul, although not many of them researched in poison, but in the end they still had a large number.

"此物名为灰孢，它们比灰尘还要细小百倍，它用起来非常方便。可以顺风飘扬，可以把它送入云层。一瓶的量，刚好可以布下百里方圆。这里有两百瓶，请收好！"
"This is called the Ash Spore, 100 times more fine than ash, they are extremely convenient to use. By dispersing into the air and wind, it can be sent into the clouds. One bottle of it is enough to cover the range of a 100 li. There are 200 bottles, keep them well!"

"This is the concealed toxoid developed from our collaboration, it"s does not flare up quickly and violently, but any ordinary poison distinguishing treasures cannot recognize it. I hope that you all will be able to test it in this battle…"

Not everyone had named their poisons, there were some people who just wanted to test their product"s capabilities. Poison was an alternative type of manufactured goods, especially the large scale poisons, the utilization of them were complicated in battles, and with different levels of True Power, mental cultivation techniques, their application and uses were very hard to determine. And the poison research blood meridians specialists dare not use live subjects, as it would pile up bodies.

Only with real battles would they be able to realize and authenticate their works.

Many of the poison research blood meridians specialist who were ambitious and chasing a goal were all aiming for that point, they wanted to take action. It would be difficult to have a second chance like it!

"Uncle Bing is so cunning! So wretched!" Bell"s face was full of praise: "I suddenly have this feeling, maybe we can actually win."

Pi Pa glanced through the report very quickly, without raising her head: "I never thought that we would lose."

"Eh, why do you have so much confidence?" Bell was surprised.

"Because everyone is so hardworking!" Pi Pa"s tone of voice was very determined, she did not take her eyes away from the report, the exhaustion of materials in the month from the mechanical weapons laboratory had reached an all new high figure. Pi Pa knew that the mechanical engineers were giving their all, everyone worked through days and nights.

Countless historical facts have told her, regardless of any powerhouse, as long as every single one of them were united with one mind, they were extremely difficult to be defeated!

Suddenly, an explosion of joy sounded out from the mechanical weapons laboratory, causing Pi Pa and Bell to raise their heads, looking at each other, they sprinted towards the mechanic weapons laboratory.

Ursa Major Constellation Star Door.

"So this is Ursa Major Constellation."

The flock of Cetus Constellation martial artists all curiously looked around at their surroundings, as it looked no different from any other place The current influx of Cetus martial artists into Ursa Major Constellation was an astronomical sum, because over the past few days, Gong Qing had publicly announced that as long as they could kill 50 Lupus Martial artists, they would not need to pay 3 years of fees for using star power.

With that, all the Cetus martial artists could no longer sit around. Previously, the bounty of 10 thousand star coins per Lupus martial artist head only caused movements to a few cetus martial artists. But with the void of 3 years of fees, it made all the Cetus Martial artists make a move without hesitation, as compared to 500 thousand star coins, it was more worth it.

With too many people, it caused the Star Door to become stuffed.

The majority of the Cetus martial artists had never been to Ursa Major Constellation, and they all looked around curiously, since the latest battle reports were also disseminated to them.

But many of their gazes were more fixed towards the blood meridian specialists wearing their Martial Group robes.

Beside every blood meridians specialist, were high level martial artists who were following them tightly, they were cautious and prepared, to block off any sudden sneak attacks.

These blood meridians specialists were allocated with specialized identifying treasures, the most common was Microscopium Constellations treasures, practically every one of them holding onto the silver ranked [Microscopic Eye]. Microscopic Eye was shaped like a silver colored mirror, once putting True Power in it, the Microscopic Eye would shoot out a light aura. Anything that the light aura is on, miraculously, would surface small red words on the mirror.

Honorable Martial Group did not go back on their word, they had truly sent out a large blood meridians specialist group, a complete size of 100 men, every intervals of a couple of meters, there would be one blood meridians specialist. All these blood meridians specialists, formed a net pattern, like a white chain, they advanced.

Cetus Martial artists were all content and calm, seeing the scene in front of them, they were rather relaxed. No matter how powerful the opponent"s poisons were, under such thorough investigation, it would not be so dangerous right.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past.

The front few blood meridians specialists suddenly all fell together, and the martial artists beside them all turned pale white, struggling to use True Power to expel the poison. The other martial artists beside the blood meridians specialists all activated their True Power shield to protect the blood meridians specialists inside.

After a moment, the Honorable Martial Group"s martial artists who were struck with the poison became better and recovered. But the three blood meridians specialist who fell, had stopped breathing.

All the Honorable Martial Group martial artists faces became ugly.

Behind them, the Cetus martial artists who were pouring in like currents all became restless. Many of them exposed hesitation and intention to retreat, they suddenly realized that the situation was much more ruthless than they have thought.

Every Onyx Soul City"s central plaza was shooting a big screen video, able to clearly witness everything that was happening at Ursa Major Constellation. Every central plaza was filled with people, regardless if they were blood meridians specialist or martial artists, they were all curious on the battle. a large scale employment of poison agents such like that had never happened before.

And they never thought that Tang Tian"s faction would actually automatically broadcast the battle progress, immediately attracting everyone"s attention. The blood meridians specialists who had already sent out their poison agents were even more focused and devoted, they were personally witnessing the battle, as the battle would provide maximum a.s.sistance for their next step of research.

Inside the group of people, a middle aged man watched the video attentively, somewhat nervous. When he saw the three blood meridians specialist dropping onto the ground, his face became joyful. But following that, when the other martial artists started to use their dense True Power to clear the poison, the smile on his face froze.

He stood there rooted to the ground, and after a short moment, he muttered to himself.

"Seems like facing high level martial artists, the lethality of the poison is not strong enough, oh, I need to think of something, do I raise the concentration? It is already too high, maybe I can add in a composition to corrode True Power….that is a good idea…"

The middle aged man seemed to have thought of something, his face revealing an excited look, and he quickly ran home.

He could not wait to test out his new idea, and…..he must definitely take the chance before the battle ends, to create a new product….

Honorable Martial Group"s discipline was rigid, all the martial artists looked at each other, but did not retreat. They once again formed up their positions and continued to advance.

In the current battle, the order sent down was a death order.

It basically did not allow them to retreat.

Chapter 460 – 4 Weeks

Translated by: Berrrybunz

Cetus Constellation Palace. The atmosphere was gloomy.

Every single battle report in front of them was written with red numbers, all dripping with blood, it was a shocking scene.

In the first week, they already had over 4000 Cetus martial artists dead, Honorable Martial Group had a smaller number, especially for their high level martial artists, with only 67 deaths, but the blood meridians specialists were 70% wiped out.

In the second week, the death rate had already exceeded 12 thousand, Honorable Martial Group had only increased the number of blood meridians specialists, with the number of supporting crew sharply declining. The opponents had a myriad of poisons, and they kept on changing them, causing the Honorable Martial Group"s blood meridians specialists to be unable to react.

In the third week, Honorable Martial Group used a huge sum of money to invite the renowned and famous blood meridians grandmaster Ah Jin Sen. But who knew that would instigate all the onyx soul blood meridians specialists" blood boiling pa.s.sion, as all of their latest and newest poisonous agents were all sent into Old Man Fei"s hands.

What could be better than trampling a grandmaster under the stares of a thousand eyes?

A hero would still be unable to bear the pressure of many people, Grandmaster Ah Jin Sen who was prepared with gold ranked treasures, finally fell to a no name poison. The poison was named "Grandmaster"s Kiss", which became extremely popular. The one who created it was Huo Er, one that truly became famous after the battle, and was immediately absorbed by Onyx Soul to become a clan elder, and the price for a bottle of "Grandmaster"s Kiss", from a price of 10 thousand star coins in which no one bothered about, instantly flew to 1.5 billion star coins.

Countless people wrung their hands and sighed, countless people were extremely jealous, and countless people were tempted to try as well.

But at that moment, not even the powerful Honorable Martial Group could hire blood meridians grandmasters. No one was willing to become the b.u.t.t of public criticism, as Ah Jin Sen used his life to become Huo Er"s stepping stone. In the dark, countless people were waiting to become the new Huo Er, all of their eyes were showing green with envy.

Even the most outstanding of blood meridian grandmasters, had all become hungry wolves wanting to prey.

The battle at Ursa Major Constellation was stuck in a stalemate, as over 80% of Cetus martial artists had all returned back to Cetus Constellation. Although the three years free of star power usage was attractive, but compared to their lives, how could they possibly compare?

In a short span of two weeks, the death count had reached over 20 thousand people, it was a number that caused many people"s heart to turn cold, with the idea of retreat giving birth in their heads. A large group of 1000 people had suddenly died without making a sound, cut apart like wheat, never standing up again. The induced fear immediately caused the tide of people to rush back to their constellation.

Over the many years later, whenever any person talked about the scene, their eyes would still be full of fear.

Cetus Constellation was no longer in their joyous mood, everyone realised that, the battle had already slipped beyond their control. Those who were prepared to receive large sums of money, had all dejectedly returned back. At that time, Cetus Constellation was already caught up in a slump.

"Three Spirits City!" Elder Zhang clenched his teeth and said: "We need to first cleanse Three Spirits City! Without them, Ursa Major Constellation will not have a fulcrum, and we can focus on defeating Ursa Major Constellation!"

Gong Qing"s face seemed to have aged.

Although they had not lost contact with the three armies, but their losses were immense.

The poison strategy used by Ursa Major Constellation was so devastating which no one had antic.i.p.ated. Now, in Onyx Soul, the poison research blood meridians specialists were all mighty figures that no one dared to approach, their status had soared, and many large powerhouses had extended their symbols of peace. Everyone knew, it was no longer possible for them to engage in a poison war anymore, but if anyone wished to h.o.a.rd the few poison research blood meridians specialists, they would get wiped out.

The scene of the silent deaths in the video, caused people to tremble with fear.

And the poison research blood meridians specialists who were proving themselves in the battle, all saw a soaring increase in status.

The powerhouses observing the battle were all thinking hard, how to handle the situation. There were no absolutes in the world, although poison was powerful, but there was definitely a way to counter it.

Honorable Martial Group had profound information surface at that moment.

King Kong Wall, an unorthodox and shallow martial technique, was able to form an airtight True Power cover that formed around the entire body, preventing the majority of the poison from entering. It was found out that it could effectively block of 90% of the different types of poison. After being suggested by an elder, it was immediately perfected. Especially for the armies, under the military general"s control, they could easily form up a King Kong Wall.

Although the King Kong Wall formed for the army was insufficient to defend against attacks, but it was extremely effective to be used to stop poison.

In the fourth week, the death count of Cetus martial artists sharply declined, and the three armies that were unable to move could finally advance again.

The small idea, caused the entire battle momentum to turn and instigate a huge change.

Without the help of poison, Lupus martial artists banditry hara.s.sment power sharply declined. Although the three armies still suffered from injuries, but it reached an all time low.

The entire Cetus Constellation regained their confidence.

The three armies had simply gotten rid of the cities, seemingly having a mutual agreement to advance forward. Their goal was obvious, to pounce straight on Tang Tian who was at Bear Egg!

Bronze Base at Three Spirits City.

Old Man Fei and his group were all depressed, before the battle, they were all riding the wind of victory, but they did not expect to collapse in the blink of an eye. The King Kong Wall technique that defeated them was not at all profound, it was just a layer of True Power cover forming around the body preventing the poison from interacting. Compared to other True Power covers, it was even more of a substance.

If one does not train the King Kong Wall to a profound level, it"s defense was basically chicken ribs. Although the King Kong Wall was durable, it lacked strength, whereas a strong defense would cause others to be unable to attack. But the weak layer of King Kong Wall, was extremely useful towards poison.

Bing specially came to console them.

"Everyone"s task is already completed, they have been delayed for four weeks, and these four weeks are extremely precious to us!"

"Our poison is useless now." Old Man Fei was demoralized.

"That is very normal in wars, a powerful single might method, definitely will have a countermeasure. And, all of you have already accomplished your task, four weeks! That is sufficient!" Bing"s eyes flashed a cold light.

Old Man Fei knew what Bing said was reasonable, but his emotions were still not good, so he replied meekly: "I will go and research for a bit, I want to see if there are any methods to break the King Kong Wall?"

Finished, he turned and left.

Bing did not stop him, to have a motive was a good thing. Wars were meant to display strength and discipline, and also required new methods of doing things, and thus the advantage usually laid in the foundations.

For example, four weeks.

The Mo Family were settled down inside the base, creating not housing first, but the Mo Family"s workshop. The Mo Family were able to become a mechanical aristocratic family, naturally was due to their mechanical techniques specialties, and Mo Family Workshop was one of it.

The Mo Family Workshop had a unique method of manufacturing mechanical weapons, allowing them to be able to control the grade and standard. Using that, even though the Mechanical techniques generation had declined, and every mechanical aristocratic family felt the hit, the Mo Family were safe and sound.

The Mo Family"s predecessors already understood, that the mechanical weapons declining generation could not be stopped, creating low end mechanical weapons and mechanical beasts were the mainstream products, and the controlling the manufacturing costs was undoubtedly controlling the life or death thread. The Mo Family had gone through countless years of acc.u.mulation and research, to finally create their own manufacturing method, and that was the Mo Family Workshop.

The Mo Family workshop was lit with fire, with a lot of hubbub, mechanical weapons rumbling, sparks flying everywhere, with scarlet red molten iron flowing, the air was filled with the sense of metal. The artisan with his bright muscles, activated his True Power to cause his entire body to be covered in a light aura, holding onto a metal hammer that was bigger than him, every strike accurately struck the metal. Other artisans had focused and rigid expressions, holding on to fine blade tools, they cut the bronze components, the bronze threads forming like wood shavings out while the blade cut down straight lines….

All the experienced artisans were the most precious a.s.sets of the Mo Family.

Mo Wei Tian had personally supervised them, he rarely appeared, but currently, with his stern expression, he patrolled around to do inspections.

The Mo Family had not been this busy in so many years, ever since the Mo Family workshop was constructed, it had never been truly used with full force. But the Mo Family people were not angry, since it was their first war, and even concerned their life. Furthermore, seeing the scarlet metal fluids, seeing the blood boiling and invigorating scenes, every Mo Family member was filled with the will to fight.

When Mo Wei Tian witnessed the newly manufactured latest model mechanical spirit weapon, and marked it with the Mo Family Workshop symbol, he almost shed tears.

How many generations has it been, the Mo Family Workshop has finally produced the strongest mechanical spirit weapon in this generation!

The dream of so many generations!

He caressed the crude black greenish mechanical spirit weapon, it still emitted a bit of warmth from the manufacturing process, the barbs on the surface were not polished evenly yet, there was no paint, no beauty. But in Mo Wei Tian"s eyes, it was like the most perfect piece of art, causing him to be deeply infatuated with it.

The somewhat ugly mechanical spirit weapon, beneath the warm metal covering, Mo Wei Tian could feel its powerful pulse!

Heh, this is the newest generation"s pulse!

Mo Wei Tian suddenly felt extremely heroic, I will let all of you have a taste, the full power of the Mo Family Workshop!

After four weeks, the 20 martial artists were extremely in awe of Tang Chou. Spending only three days of time, Tang Chou had confirmed their pairings, 20 people forming 5 small groups. That was nothing, but what made them feel inconceivable, was that in a short two days, Tang Chou had given every group at least 60 pages of tactics training manual.

Every group"s tactics training manual was completely different.

The 20 people almost cried.

They were all martial artists born in the hard lands, and finally experienced deeply what was called professionalism. The so called grandmaster tacticians which they met in the past, the tactics that they had designed, were crude and simple compared to Tang Chou"s.

And the following training that they received made them feel even more deeply.

Their strengths were all rather outstanding with abundant experience. When they started the joint training, they could immediately feel the power of Tang Chou"s tactics!

Every tactic was designed through careful considerations and planning, even the weaknesses and pitfalls were carefully designed in them.

Because it was specially designed for them, their coordination was quickly familiarized, training the various tactics, they felt as if they were fish swimming in water. What they needed to improve now was the mutual understanding and rapport.

After four weeks, they had finally established the initial rapport, although Tang Chou was still extremely unsatisfied, but they were all eager to test things out.

The situation Ursa Major Constellation was like wildfire, why was it so quiet here?

Suddenly, the sentries all around quivered, and silently gave everyone a signal.

They were all startled, with lights suddenly glowing in their eyes.
