I Can See Your Combat Power Chapter 1356

Chapter 1356: Chapter 648: Testing Efficacy Chapter 1356: Chapter 648: Testing Efficacy Compared to the hustle and bustle of Lanshan City, Tang Luo preferred to live in the quiet seclusion of Aran Mountain.

After all, with his extremely sensitive perception, even after sealing most of it himself, the remainder of his hearing was more than enough to clearly detect the vibrations of Primary Qi within dozens of yards.

The warmth of humanity's hustle and bustle was nice to hear occasionally, but constantly hearing about trivial household matters and petty squabbles could be quite vexing.

Thus, dwelling in the mountains brought Tang Luo even more joy, since the natural sounds of flowing water, singing birds, and chirping insects carried no complaints or malice, soothing the listener.

Living in such an atmosphere, whether practicing martial arts or meditating in quiet thought, would yield twice the result with half the effort.

“Not bad at all, you truly are a cultivator with exceptional talent–the 'Cold Rain Ripple Intent' you've been practicing for only half a year has already been mastered to a significant degree, which is truly remarkable!”

In order to bolster Yun Xiu's confidence in martial arts, Tang Luo would enthusiastically praise any merit he could find.

But he forgot about his persona as one with divine understanding of martial arts. To others, such praise for half a year's progress might seem like admiration, but coming from him, it sounded awfully like sarcasm.

After all, when he was creating the 'Bitter God Detachment Skill,' he browsed through heart-cultivating techniques he had not yet practiced right in front of her. He mastered them to a great extent within a few days, then excerpted what mortals in Mortal Realm could withstand to compile into a book.

Compared to him, mastering Cold Rain Ripple Intent in half a year might seem like a rather embarrassing achievement.

With a snort and turning her head away to avoid further conversation with Tang Luo who had slipped up in his flattery, Yun Xiu began testing the limit of her spiritual soul in casting Spirit Art with a single invocation.

She flung her sleeves towards the heavens, unfurling thousands of yards of cloud flow, where the pure cloud essence entwined with it, twisting into a mass that formed all kinds of ferocious cloud beasts.

Tigers, leopards, bears, eagles, pythons, oxen, and geckos, under a 4.3-fold soul power amplification, each appeared lifelike and immensely mighty.

What were initially low-level Mystical-grade Spirit Arts now possessed the most superior destructive power, with the spiritual force modeled after tigers, leopards, and bears containing immense power that approached thrice-transformed spiritual energy, inflicting nearly a hundred thousand points of spiritual damage.

Even if there were only seven of such Spirit Arts, that would be enough to tear through any defense mechanism of a Martial Ancestor Level fighter.

Even a well-coordinated squad from the Fierce Realm would meet their end on the spot against such a fierce barrage.

“Unstoppably strong!”

Seeing Yun Xiu only slightly drained after casting seven consecutive Spirit Arts, Tang Luo didn't hesitate to lavish praise and offered a knee in admiration, along with the Spirit Liquid he had prepared in advance.

Gently pushing away the water pouch that was to be poured into her mouth, Yun Xiu retorted sweetly, “It's just a bit of spiritual fatigue, nothing that a bit of cultivation won't fix. Why waste Spirit Liquid?”

“You know how to live economically.”

Tang Luo complimented her, then proffered the pouch filled with Spirit Liquid into Yun Xiu's arms, continuing in a serious tone, “But you can't be too casual with yourself. Right now, you are the key among keys, the core of cores in our clan's divine creation plan. If there's anything amiss with your spirit, that would be the greatest loss!”

“Don't exaggerate.”

Seeing her own man making such earnestly nonsensical claims, Yun Xiu took the Spirit Liquid with a trace of shyness, saying, “Besides, my Cold Rain Ripple Intent is already well-established. A little spiritual consumption like this isn't a big deal and won't affect the divine creation plan.”

“The divine creation plan is important to the Tang Clan, but you are all that matters to me, so have a few extra sips of Spirit Liquid when you feel like it. After all, it's all been allotted by the clan, why not drink it while it's free.”

Tang Luo winked playfully at Yun Xiu with a light chuckle.

“Why are you bending your elbow outwards?”

“Without the small family, where would the clan come from? My elbow is bending the right way, with nothing wrong at all.”

After bantering to lift Yun Xiu's spirits a bit, Tang Luo said, “Now that Cold Rain Ripple Intent has been well-established, you can start practicing the heavy mountain intent from the 'Thousand Mountains and Thick Earth Heart Sutra.'
“Shouldn't I wait until the Cold Rain Ripple Intent is fully mastered?”

Yun Xiu said in amazement.

“Earth can overcome water, practicing with the pure Cold Rain Ripple Intent combined with the Heavy Mountain Intent leads to greater efficiency. However, a fully matured Cold Rain Ripple Intent would suppress the Heavy Earth Intent, making it counterproductive. Too much of anything is bad. Now this…”

Mid-explanation, Tang Luo suddenly frowned and turned his head, looking towards the south.

A streak of golden light, unbelievably fast, approached from afar. He was very familiar with this escape technique–it was the Golden Light Escape that Tang Xing developed through the technique of the Vajra Seal.

But at this time, the kid should be teaching in Jiejiang City. Why was he rushing towards Aran Mountain City in such a hurry?

As the golden light drew near, Yun Xiu also recognized it as the escape light of her young brother-in-law. After exchanging a few words with Tang Luo, she turned around and went back inside the house.

It was proper for a sister-in-law to avoid familial men's conversations, although the Yun Clan had declined, but they still wouldn't neglect such details.

“So, you brat, instead of teaching properly in Jiejiang City, what are you doing here?”

Tang Luo used the Heavenly Dragon's Shadow to pull down the golden light in the sky and spoke irritably to his foolish brother, who was spinning around disoriented.

“Big brother, the Elder Council has passed an extremely stupid decision!”

Tang Xing, managing to stabilize himself, shook his head and, without even catching his breath, raised the alarm to Tang Luo.

“Oh? What kind of foolish decision?”

“They're treating a completely useless technique as a mandatory course for our lineage's warriors. If we really train according to it, within less than ten years, our warriors will be completely overshadowed by the clan's fighters, and a disaster of the master being weaker than the servant is imminent!”

Tang Xing, thinking that Tang Luo didn't know the content of the technique, promptly recited the Mortal Realm's curriculum.

After listening intensively to Tang Xing's recitation, Tang Luo patted his foolish brother's shoulder with a sense of appreciation: “Not bad, not bad. It seems like being the chief instructor of Jiejiang City wasn't for naught; you've learned to use your head!”

“Aiyah, brother, this isn't the time to talk about this. The Elder Council has already pushed this technique as an order down to the Martial Halls of each city, and it's even in the clan schools. You have to think of something to deal with this political order!”

“Let's not rush into this matter yet.”

Tang Luo waved his hands and spoke relaxedly, “It's been a while since I've tested your progress in actual combat. You just happened to come today, so let's pair up and see if you've neglected your cultivation due to your teaching duties.”

The moment sparring was mentioned, Tang Xing's face turned pale: “P..pair up, isn't that unnecessary? I came to talk about the political order.”

“If you don't move, I'm going to attack first!”

“Yah, why do you always want to bully me? If this continues, how will I ever establish an unshakeable belief to forge my soul!?”

“Enough talk. I won't use my Undying Battle Body, nor will I deploy any divine Spirit Arts, and I'll suppress my strength to the phase of unity of spirit and intent. I'll spar with you using only physical techniques, and as long as you can withstand three hundred moves, you win!”

“Ah, that doesn't sound good.”

Upon hearing such generous conditions, Tang Xing's face showed a naive smile, his hands awkwardly placed behind his back, yet the surging Spiritual Power and the whooshing sounds of his finger seals betrayed his true intentions.

“Undying Battle Body of the eighth rank, Bear Strength upon me!”

“Threefold Vajra Seal Method, Vajra Subduing Demon Manifestation!”

“Spirit Flame Body Illustration, Dharma Appearance Integration, solidify!”

“Burning Spirit Art, fully activated!”
