“You, a grand master at the peak of the Mortal Realm, don’t mind me testing a technique on you, right?” Tang Luo said teasingly.
Tang Guangyu arched an eyebrow dismissively, “Are you saying you’ve improved the martial arts technique of the Tongtian Domination Scroll?” “Ah, I’ve created a little something that might help broaden your horizons, you frog in a well.”
“Arrogant!” Tang Guangyu appeared before him in a flash, his strong aura locking onto Tang Luo.
“The Mortal Realm Tongtian Domination Scroll has four moves in total-Wind Attack, Wave Break, Twin Dragons, and Mountain Shatter. I wonder which move you have improved that makes you so audacious.”
The so-called Mortal Realm signifies a transformation in a martial artist prompted by the evolution of spiritual power. At the end of this evolution, the martial artist changes from a mortal to a powerful person with various abilities. Apart from evolving into a stronger body, the other significant difference is the amount of spiritual power.
With over 2999 points of available spiritual power, a transcendent can easily perform beyond the peak of the Mortal Realm. For example, if a potent martial arts technique allows you to harness half of your spiritual power in one strike, Then the peak of the Mortal Realm spiritual power attack has 499 points, while the newly transcended martial artist’s spiritual power output can reach 1499 points, a difference of more than three times.
Such abundant spiritual power is not only manifest in the techniques but also allows Mortal Realm martial artists to begin using spiritual power to protect their bodies significantly increasing their defense. Some special breathing techniques will enable martial artists to create a spiritual power shield around their bodies, greatly reducing the damage they sustain.
That’s why many Mortal Realm martial artists abandon their armor in favor of a simple long robe.
Of course, this is not to say that the protective shield is harder than armor, but because they now have the spiritual body protection, their bodies are no longer as weak as those in the Mortal Realm where any ordinary person wielding a sword could hurt them.
The so-called Realms are different, and even if you’re a gifted genius, it’s hard to cross them, or else how could we call them Realms of breakthrough.
Tang Guangyu stood before Tang Luo in full might. Even though there might be some problems with his character, he didn’t believe that a mere boy in his early teens could improve a martial arts technique that had been forged through thousands of years.
Tang Luo wasn’t intimidated by Tang Guangyu’s might, as this sort of researcher may have strong aura but lacks killing intent.
How could a martial artist without killing intent intimidate anyone?
The elders of the Secret Arts Pavilion had already stood up, eager to see Tang Luo make a fool of himself because they also didn’t believe that the four techniques of the Mortal Realm could be improved any further.
Tang Luo shook his head, stretched out his right hand, and started to activate the Heavenly Pathway Technique, mobilizing his internal spiritual power.
After nearly two months of accumulation, his spiritual power had reached 2091.6 points. He had thought he could continue saving up, but now he had to exhaust his spiritual power because of this guy, which was extremely annoying.
The stingy him seemed a bit twisted. To the crowd, this seemed like his anger
out of embarrassment.
In a blink of an eye, five spiraling Wind Attack powers were revolving around
Tang Luo’s fingers, coiling like a gun ready to fire.
Tang Luo made a forceful gesture and explained to the people of the Secret Arts Pavilion, “This technique is based on my improvements of the ‘Wind Attack’.” All who were present, including those who had been studying the Tongtian Domination Scroll for the past ten or twenty years, nodded in confirmation. Indeed, the ‘Wind Attack’ force was present in Tang Luo’s finger. Even though it was impressive to achieve this kind of alteration, they didn’t expect the power to increase.
Because in martial arts, the most important thing is the consolidation of a single technique, including the Combined Attack Technique.
Perhaps changing the Wind Attack palm strength to finger strength would increase the quantity and even the output of spiritual power, but there would indeed be a decrease in power.
As mentioned before, if the power of a move increases due to the output of spiritual power, then this kind of improvement is not an improvement.
True improvement is making an axe for chopping wood sharper, not using more force when chopping wood.
Everyone thought even less of Tang Luo; they felt as if he were insulting the professionalism and intelligence of the elders of the Secret Arts Pavilion. Seeing the disdainful looks on everyone’s faces, Tang Luo was even more disappointed and said lightly, “As expected, your weakness has limited your imagination.”
“I call this move, Martial Art Finger!”
Tang Luo’s eyes turned cold, his five fingers gathered into a claw, the five strands of Wind Attack energy focused on his fingers converged and intensified in their reciprocating tear.
He cast his ghost claw at Tang Guangyu, the five whirlwind forces spiraled and merged into a white tornado, with indomitable power plunging toward the opponent’s chest.
“Wind Attack Thrice? No, it’s not right!” Upon seeing these five potentials suddenly merging into one, people from the Secret Arts Pavilion blurted out in shock.
Tang Guangyu, who previously wouldn’t even use his Spiritual Power for protection, was taken aback by this move. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Could a person alone really conjure a “Wind Attack” like the tornado in front of him? Though shaken to his core, his cultivation level remained firm. Spiritual power flowed throughout his body in an instant, and Tang Guangyu propped up his own unique set of protective martial arts? the True Qi Protection.
This modestly named protective method was Tang Guangyu’s pride, upgrading a basic level protection technique to a secret art level, using three columns of spiritual power constantly flowing through his body, though seemingly full of flaws compared to some body-covering protective techniques.
But the speed of spiritual power flow was much faster than that of human hands, as long as the user’s reaction was quick enough, this True Qi Protection could provide a triple buffer, easily dissolving even some Mortal Realm level killer moves.
As a nobleman and a researcher who had been studying martial arts, Tang Guangyu, although lacking fighting experience, proudly believed that if it came to a real fight, he would be stronger than most Mortal Realm peak fighters. The white tornado, like an evil dragon, lunged at Tang Guangyu. The sharp tip formed from five spirals seemed to be the venomous fangs of the dragon, aiming at his chest.
In an instant, a light blue spiritual power burst out and collided with the Dragon Fang, the two spiritual powers intertwined.
Tang Guangyu remained calm watching the collision of the approaching tornado and his Protecting Qi.
The first light blue spiritual power was consumed in the blink of an eye, and the white tornado, with only half its volume left, continued to attack him. A second light blue spiritual power then crashed into the tornado, Primordial Guard – Level Two.
The white tornado and blue spiritual power visibly intertwined, eroded, and offset each other at high speed. The massive spiritual power fluctuation caused ripples of energy to spread in all directions from the collision.
As the people from the Secret Arts Pavilion watched, speechless, Tang Guangyu’s two layers of True Qi Protection were consumed by the white tornado.
“This… must be the peak of Mortal Realm martial techniques.” An elder couldn’t help but exclaim. As a researcher who had been studying martial arts for decades, it was the first time he had seen such a groundbreaking combat technique that could be implemented by a single person.
While Tang Guangyu remained unperturbed on the surface, his internal shock was no less than anyone else’s. He felt a dryness in his throat, it seemed as if his own research was a joke.
He was not the only one with this feeling, everyone in the Secret Arts Pavilion fell silent after witnessing this Wind Attack.
They did not know how to face the highly talented young boy in front of them. Block him? By what right could they prevent such a prodigy from joining the Secret Arts Pavilion?
Everyone thought the demonstration was over, with various thoughts running through their minds, but those who were watching closely were still focused on the young boy showing his sharp fangs.
“Guangyu, watch out!” the slightly plump, small-eyed elder shouted out loudly, pulling Tang Guangyu from his stunned state.
Tang Luo, who had unleashed the Wind Attack, did not stop. He was angry that his first tornado attack could not even break through the opponent’s defense, making him appear incapable.
Regardless of his spiritual power consumption, he again concentrated the Wind Attack energy in his hands, launching another attack on Tang Guangyu. Two white tornadoes reappeared in the now calm hall of the Secret Arts Pavilion.
This “Wind Attack Double Dragon” was the most potent move he could conjure at the moment. If it was blocked too, damn it, he would have to admit defeat! Tang Luo watched coldly as the two giant tornadoes lunged again at Tang Guangyu, who only had one layer of his defensive techniques left circulating around his body.
“This is what martial arts should be like.”
With these words, the two white tornadoes swept towards Tang Guangyu’s body..
