I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1330 - Chapter 1330 Chapter 622 Like and Love

Chapter 1330: Chapter 622: Like and Love Chapter 1330: Chapter 622: Like and Love In the world, everything tends to follow a certain balance, and perfection only exists in theory. I initially thought that condensing the Supreme Divine Soul was a sign of success in the God Creation Project, but looking back, I realized it was just the beginning.

After Yun Xiu subdued the Supreme Divine Soul with her True Spirit, naturally, she had to begin utilizing her Spirit Art in conjunction with the divine soul. However, the God Creation Team suffered a major setback as soon as the tests began.

The enhancement effect of the divine soul was powerful, and even though it was subdued due to Jiutian Xuanzun’s self-doubt, it still left a 4.2 times boost.

But when it came to actual use, it was discovered that this high multiplier effect was not without a cost. After just a few tests of her Spirit Art, Yun Xiu’s spirit became weak, and Tang Luo sensei decisively called a halt.

“Something’s not right, you only performed a few Cloud Hands, why do you look so pale?”

Tang Luo grabbed Yun Xiu’s hand, transmitted a stream of Innate Qi, and asked softly, “Come, tell me about your experience using the Spirit Art?”

“Umm… it just felt very strenuous.”

Recalling the process of using the Spirit Art in detail, Yun Xiu explained, “Even though it was the very familiar Cloud Hand, when channeled through the divine soul controlling the Spiritual Power, it felt like walking through a quagmire. Despite exerting all my strength, I could only move slowly, not smoothly at all.”

“I see…”

Stroking his chin, Tang Luo pondered for a moment and figured out the issue, “I see now!”

“What do you understand?”

“The mismatch between mental strength and the divine soul is like a small horse pulling a large cart, which is why it feels so strenuous.”

“So that’s it.”

“But don’t worry. A small horse can grow. Techniques to enhance mental strength are not rare. If one set doesn’t work, practice two. As long as we boost your mental strength, you can command the divine soul effortlessly!”

Identifying and solving problems is indeed the mission of a martial arts researcher, and for Tang Luo, the issue happening with Yun Xiu was not considered a significant problem at all.

In fact, he had already thought of a solution, “I recommend you first practice a set of the ‘Cold Rain Ripple Intent’ techniques. Firstly, this water-related technique is compatible with the Yun Clan’s methods. Moreover, it also nourishes the spirit. Although it can’t completely eliminate the strain of a small horse pulling a large cart, this nourishment can help you recover quickly. It’s beneficial for your subsequent practice of Spirit Arts and secretive techniques. What do you think?”

“Hmm, I’ll follow your lead.”

“Uh, then I’ll have the Scripture Pavilion send over a set of copies!”

Longzhou Calendar 1787

28th day of the twelfth month

It was the time of year again for the annual family reunion. The originally declining Tang Family’s third branch had, under the capable wings of Tang Xing, added two males to the family.

Another fifteen years, and if these two inherit just half of their father’s capabilities, the future branching out of the old Tang Family won’t be a worry anymore.

From this perspective, Tang Xing also counted as having boundless merit. However, holding her two grandchildren, Xu Shuhui always looked at them with a particularly sympathetic gaze, which was quite troublesome.

Initially, only Tang Luo broke into the Fierce Realm, giving some hope. Now that Yun Xiu had also entered the Fierce Realm, it finally made people give up on any expectations.

After having their fill of food and play with the grandchildren, Xu Shuhui led her two daughters-in-law and Nuannuan secretly out of the banquet hall, leaving the space to the three men of the family.

Sitting in the old mansion restored to its original ratio, the banquet hall felt incredibly familiar. Tang Sen would often look up inadvertently, almost seeing the shadows of the family dining together in the old days.

At that time, there were only five people in the entire Tang Mansion. I would sit opposite the door, while my wife would sit next to me with Little Nuan Nuan.

From a young age, Tang Luo, the eldest son who always seemed mature and sensible, didn’t rely much on them. He would always sit at a forty-five degree angle from the main seat, neither distant nor overly intimate. The younger son, however, always liked to stick close to his brother and was a bit afraid of me, and thus would sit next to his brother.

So many years had passed, yet the seating arrangement of the three had not changed, as if time had never passed.

For Tang Sen, who had never felt much family affection since childhood, this was everything worth protecting with all his might.

“Cough… Father, if you have something to say, just say it. Your intense gaze is a bit too much for your son to bear.”

“Yes, Father, you’re making us feel uneasy inside!”

The two brothers voiced their thoughts one after the other, completely disrupting the emotional trajectory forming in the heart.

Even Tang Sen, who was usually reticent, felt his face heat up, pretending as if nothing had happened, and asked in a deep voice, “Your mother is worried about the battle agreement next early spring, so she asked me to ask you, how confident are you?”

Although Tang Feng had already relayed Tang Luo’s original words, having reviewed Xu You’s lifetime battle achievements, both were still somewhat worried, especially after hearing Xiao Jinlin’s letter, which had made Xu Shuhui anxious. So she insisted that Tang Sen ask, which led to the scene just now.

“To tell the truth, I’m not very confident, but you know, Father, someone as physically powerful as me won’t lose too disgracefully,” he said.

Tang Luo spoke seriously, “Actually, this challenge to Xu You of Nanji is for two reasons. One is due to Superintendent Tang Feng’s request to block the alliance of the Xu, Niu, and Li families. The second is because I have a new secret technique that I want to test in real combat, and the best subjects for such an experiment are master-level warriors.”

Hearing Tang Luo’s explanation, Tang Sen nodded, then was about to lower his head to eat again, but remembering his wife’s numerous warnings, he raised his head again and said, “If you can’t win, just run away.”

“Understood, Father!”

Those who like you care about pride and glory, but those who truly love you care about your safety.

So, even though to outsiders, the two warriors seem incredibly formidable, their agreement on the battle was not about gaining fame or glory, but rather knowing when to flee if they couldn’t win.

There couldn’t be a more pragmatic pre-battle blessing than this, and suddenly, Tang Luo thought his father was rather endearing.

If the fighters in the Martial Hall knew that their most respected Sect Head taught his sons in this way, who knows what expressions they would have?

…

Longzhou Calendar, 1788, early February

A stable and regular life tends to accelerate the passage of time.

After the great cold came early spring, which was also the time Tang Luo had agreed to spar with the grandmaster of the Nanji Xu Family.

Since February 1786 in Chaochang when he remade his battle body, two whole years had passed, and Tang Luo’s total Spiritual Power had reached 64,825 points (after deducting the points given to Yun Xiu for a transformational Star Core).

Such a level of Spiritual Power already surpassed that of a typical Martial Ancestor, and nourished by the foundation of the Innate Qi restoring his battle body, the strength of Tang Luo’s physical body was nearly comparable to the pinnacle of his Spiritual Power years ago.

Not to mention he had further grasped the marvelous uses of the Star Core, enhancing his control of Spiritual Power, and even his soul control strength had greatly improved.

Just speaking of combat power, he was now even stronger than he had been at his peak, not to mention he had also turned an idea he conceived during an injury into reality.

So, Tang Luo was now extremely overconfident, eagerly needing a master-level warrior to sober him up with a severe beating to see the vastness of the martial world and regain his sense of reverence.
