I Can See Your Combat Power

Time, unnoticed, slipped away, and within a blink of an eye, a month had passed.

The short span of thirty days made Tang Luo realize the essence of spending money like flowing water. He needed to clear the balance payment for three shop spaces, additionally, he needed to pay hundred thousand gold for rebuilding and material costs.

The mortal-grade armors promised to the boys of the Martial Hall also needed to be arranged.

Since the Tang Clan had its own smelter, the prices were relatively cheaper. However, a set of standard mortal-grade full-body armor still required fifty thousand gold. So, in total it was two million five hundred thousand gold.

Under the set rules of the Martial Hall, it was required for the employers to pay one year’s salary in advance to the Martial Hall, which was another one hundred and fifty thousand gold.

Thus, two large boxes of gold bars in Tang Luo’s room instantly vanished, making the young boy terribly upset. For a moment, he thought his house was burgled.

Over the span of this month, the young boy was still unable to break Tang Zhen’s bullying curse. Every morning during training, the young girl would demand to spar with him, followed by her beating him up.

But according to Tang Luo’s judgment, the young girl had started to go easy on him. After all, he hadn’t turned into a “beaten-up pig-head” for twenty consecutive days, indicating Tang Zhen’s anger had mostly subsided.

On the contrary, the young boy seemed to gain more and more spirits and decided not to let go of anyone. Because he felt himself growing stronger and believed he would soon defeat Tang Zhen, even without having to wait for the future.

He truly was a foolish brother, Tang Luo shook his head.

Another achievement within the month was that he had promoted the handyman Aji to manager Aji.

Aji was also one of the orphans taken in by the Tang Clan. Reportedly, he originally lived in Ruyun Village, a paradise surrounded by mountains outside of Xiling City. However, a severe landslide buried the beautiful Ruyun Village under a ton of rubble, leaving only a few children who were playing on the mountainside and shepherds who happened to be out grazing surviving.

That’s how Aji became an orphan. Fortunately, due to the huge noise, numerous clans from Xiling, including the Tang Clan, rushed to Ruyun Village to check. They found the suddenly orphaned children and brought them back to the charitable institution.

Having lost his parents, Aji was dejected at first and understandably did not pass the warrior selection. He randomly learned some skills and became a servant in the Tang Mansion.

Aji’s full name was Hua Ji. Because he disliked his name, he asked everyone to call him Aji. He enjoyed listening to stories, and would often flee from the charity organization to sit beside the wall of the tavern, listening to the storyteller.

A month of togetherness, allowed Tang Luo to discover his exceptional memory, particularly in remembering faces and stories.

As long as he listened to a story just once, he could retell it word-for-word. He could also remember anyone he met once, no matter how long it had been.

“You have a brain of a genius, huh? Pretty impressive.” Tang Luo always praised him, and Aji would simply rub the back of his head and chuckle modestly.

Also, my first follower, Fang Han, for some reason, suddenly seems to be in need of money.

Under the alias of Wei Hu, he had already made quite a name for himself in the mortal-grade martial arts competitions throughout Xiling.

Put simply, on any martial arts meet with him, the championship was as good as assigned to him, resulting in the martial arts arena often putting him into the most challenging group. Even so, Fang Han was still able to beat the odds and win first place.

Watching Fang Han’s developmental trajectory, Tang Luo felt as if he was the protagonist and he was just a character providing a cheat code, absolutely incredible.

Also, by observing several of his matches, Tang Luo realized just how extraordinary his follower’s qualifications were. Overflowing spiritual power was fundamental.

His amazing physical strength, perfect technique demonstration, unusual combat wisdom and his decisive resolution for killing, this guy was a combat genius.

Even during peak Mortal Realm battles, he had the ability to tumble opponents within a few rounds. More terrifying was that his killing weapon was supposedly the innate Stellar Mysterious Technique guided by the Stellar Mysterious Technique. But up until now, no opponent has been able to force him to use this technique.

Really, it was riveting to have such a top fighter.

Tang Luo was highly satisfied with Fang Han’s combat power. If he reaches the pinnacle of maturation, he would surely become invincible.

Hence, under a tremendous lure, the students of Cultivation Ground N0.7 burst with extraordinary enthusiasm. One could often see the boys practicing in the field even after nightfall.

And Tang Luo’s cultivation was also going well. His level of spiritual power had reached 1024.6, placing him securely at the top of the Mortal Realm.

Everything seemed to be moving towards a better direction. At thirteen years old, he was feeling highly content.

“Brother, are you done?” The young boy called from the doorway.

“Coming, coming.”

In a blink, it was time for the brothers to go home again.

Tang Family Dining Hall

Because their father, Tang Sen, was on a mission, dinner was served with only four people. Even though Tang Sen was continuously eating when he was there, the absence of a person at the dinner table made one feel empty.

Little Nuannuan had asked when daddy would be back no less than five times.

In order to distract the young girl, the young boy, Tang Xing, took on the job of teasing little Nuannuan. After dinner, he dragged Little Nuannuan to see the Iron Eating Beast.

Meanwhile, Xu Shuhui, their mother, pulled Tang Luo aside and asked him here and there, “Have you set the shop ready yet?”

“Almost, it will be ready in about another ten days.”

“What will your shop sell?”

“It won’t be selling anything.”

“When will it open?”

“Once the shop is ready, it can open.”

“Do you need Mom to invite some businessmen to cheer on your opening?” “That won’t be necessary, Mother. Please let me handle this my way.” Such questions and answers revealed her concern for Tang Luo, but all of these concerns were tactfully rejected. After all, the shop that Tang Luo was about to open did not have much potential for profitability, and it catered to a very niche market, so there was no need for a gala opening.

“Alright then, if there is anything else you need, just tell mom.”Xu Shuhui, seeing Tang Luo as an independent adult, felt both relieved and proud. Therefore, she could only instruct so.

“Thank you, Mother.”

Children retired to their rooms to rest, servants went to sleep, and the Tang Mansion was extremely peaceful.

By the time Tang Sen returned, it was midnight, the entire Tang Mansion was pitch dark, except for the dining hall’s dim light.

He stood at the entrance of the dining hall, seeing the hot meals still steaming and Xu Shuhui propping up her chin while she had been waiting for a long time.

Don’t men struggle outside for this single light in their home? Tang Sen, overwhelmed with emotion, was about to shout “wife” when she started lecturing him.

“What are you staying there for, come in and eat.” Xu Shuhui looked infuriated at his empty stare, especially since he came home so late today. The food had been reheated eight times already.

Poison Workshop

“Are you sure you want to do this?”

“Yes.”

“You should know, even if you succeed, your physical strength will be far less than before, affecting almost half your martial arts foundation.”

“Go on.”

“And your physical strength and endurance might be cut in half. If overstretched, it could be life-threatening.”

“Stop wasting time.”

“Are you ready then?”

“Just get started!” Fang Han’s eyes were filled with madness..
