I Can See Your Combat Power

When teacher Xu Yin was immersed in his thoughts, Tang Luo and Ji Fu had already settled their affairs with a few words. The atmosphere in the hall finally truly relaxed.

Since the whole family was going to cultivate the Undying Battle Body, the sooner it was done, the better. So, Tang Luo asked, his chin resting on his hand, “So, how do we start with the cultivation of the Undying Battle Body?” Ji Fu frowned, unhappy with Tang Luo’s flippant attitude: “Is this how you plan to start?”

“What else should I do? Is there anything special I need to prepare to practice this skill?”

“Hal?” Ji Fu laughed in disbelief. “Do you have any idea of what the Undying Battle Body represents?”

As one of the most astonishing martial arts secret techniques from the ancient times, even just as a body enhancement technique, Undying Battle Body can be ranked among the top three. It’s also Han Family’s most prideful secret technique, exclusively passed down through the main lineage. Every child of the Han Family shows extreme devotion before starting the cultivation of Undying Battle Body.

It’s not just showing respect to the ancestors, but also respecting this supreme secret technique. Tang Luo’s indifferent attitude was unbearable for Ji Fu, a respectful member of the Han Family intending to cultivate the Undying Battle Body.

Though now, Xu Clan’s Sword Art and Supreme Sword of the Heavens have already surpassed the Han Family, in terms of body enhancement, no one has been able to surpass the achievement of former Saint Han using the Undying Battle Body. Ultimately, the supposedly invincible Supreme Luminous Body is just a theory.

Seeing Ji Fu’s serious expression, Tang Luo resignedly took his hand off his chin, snapped it onto the table and asked, “So tell me then, what does the Undying Battle Body represent?”

Ji Fu looked at Tang Luo trying to look grave and snorted, “Fine, I will educate you, who seem totally oblivious about the origin of Han Family’s Undying Battle Body.”

“In ancient times, Zhongzhou was inhabited by countless mythical beasts. Extended-Arm Divine Ape dominated the Divine Mountain of Zhongzhou, fed on spiritual plants, domesticated birds and beasts as pets. Its strong members were invincible with enormous strength which could move mountains and seas, and even pluck stars and moons, they were in no way inferior to the Dragon Clan!”

“Oh?” Tang Luo had become serious. These ancient secrets were only known by families with ancient heritage like Han and Xu, so being able to hear them was indeed a privilege.

Not only Tang Luo, even teacher Xu Yin was hearing the legend of the Divine Ape for the first time, his eyes riveted on Ji Fu.

The reaction of the two made Ji Fu very satisfied, he continued, “The Extended-Arm Divine Ape differed from other divine beasts. They were extremely fragile at birth, just like Human race babies, but they knew how to cultivate. The strength of all Extended-Arm Divine Apes was determined by postnatal cultivation. The strongest among them could feed on dragons and phoenixes, thus they were considered as the ‘Great Ape Saints’ among demons.” “Hence, the ancestors of my Han Family wanted to research how the Ape got stronger, fortunately, the ancestor Ji Fu developed the power of a concealed bloodline!”

“Concealed Bloodline!?” Xu Yin couldn’t help but exclaim, interrupting Ji Fu.

Tang Luo watched his amazed expression and asked, “What kind of bloodline is this?”

As someone who was trying to surpass every single bloodline of Xu Clan and ascend to the title of Saint Lord, a bloodline that Xu Yin valued highly was certainly extraordinary.

With a solemn expression, Xu Yin said, “It’s a Heavenly-level bloodline that is still unsolvable to this day.”

“What do you mean?”

“It means, a concealed bloodline owner can never lose, no matter who the opponent or the difference in levels!”

“Why?” Tang Luo asked in confusion. The concept of an unbeatable position was very vague and hard for him to comprehend.

“Because those with a concealed bloodline can vanish into the realm of invisibility, making all forms of attacks against them ineffective. Though they can’t directly attack the real world from this realm, they can still observe all the happenings in the real world while fighting, making it an incredibly advantageous situation,” Xu Yin replied with a frown. In his understanding of martial arts, he had countermeasures against any bloodline, except for those with a concealed bloodline.

Ji Fu nodded as he listened to Xu Yin’s explanation. “Exactly! If he had only cared about himself, the concealed bloodline could have guaranteed that Ji Fu advanced directly into the King Realm. But he didn’t. From the Fierce Realm, he used the concealed realm to observe the cultivation techniques of the Divine Apes on Zhongzhou Divine Mountain. After two hundred years, he compiled the Undying Battle Body, strengthening the Human Race. Are you still going to take it lightly in the light of such a great contribution, young man from Tang Family?”

In those dark ages, many predecessors like Ji Fu, who didn’t cling onto their own power but dedicated their lives to creating a technique that could resist the Demon Race. It was because these predecessors gave their lives that the Human Race is now flourishing and dominates everything!

“Alright, I was being flippant,” Tang Luo readily admitted. This admission was not for Ji Fu, but for the Han Family’s ancestor Ji Fu. He understood the depth of love required to make such a decision. “Could you please explain how to cultivate the Undying Battle Body?”

“Hmph, at least you acknowledge that! Now that you are being more respectful,” a satisfied Ji Fu said, “The Undying Battle Body mimics the cultivation techniques of the Divine Apes. By engraving spirit patterns on your body according to the divine patterns, every ten patterns are counted as one grade. A grade nine Undying Body would require engraving ten silver patterns on your body.”

“I think I understand,” Tang Luo nodded. “What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Undying Battle Body”

“Disadvantages?” Ji Fu didn’t seem to like the meaning behind Tang Luo’s words. “The Undying Battle Body is the strongest body enhancement techniques in this world. Your limitations only depend on your ability to control Spiritual Power!”

“Using your Spiritual Power, you engrave each divine pattern. These divine patterns can then direct one percent of your inner Spiritual Power to circulate throughout your body in a complex pattern. Supposing you can achieve the eight-stage Undying Body, it would mean you have twenty divine patterns protecting your body. These patterns not only strengthen your body but also resist spiritual attacks. You can disregard any attack not exceeding twenty percent of your spiritual power, you can still block an attack equivalent to twice your spiritual power, and only the remaining power will affect you.”

“The Undying Battle Body is the only body enhancement technique in the world that evolves with the strength of your spiritual power, it has no limit. It is also the strongest body enhancement technique in the world that offers dual protection for your spirit and body!” Ji Fu heavily emphasized on the status of Undying Battle Body at the end of his explanation.

Xu Yin, who had personally experience the advantages of the Undying Battle Body, strongly agreed. He had used the Supreme Sword of the Heavens against Ji Fu, who had a fifth-grade Undying Body and couldn’t even leave a scar. Typically, cultivation at the pinnacle of shedding the mortal body could only deal around 4500 points of spiritual damage. According to Ji Fu’s cultivation stage at the peak of shedding the mortal body, he could resist up to fifty percent of 9999 points of spiritual power, meaning adversaries of the same level couldn’t break his defense if they lacked exceptional secret skills.

You could choose to engage him in close combat, but considering the body enhancement effect of the Undying Body and Ji Fu’s dragon-elephant-like immense strength, he would be matchless unless someone like Tang Sen, who has double bloodlines, opposed him.

This is the terrifying power of the Undying Battle Body that left Tang Luo stunned and forcefully swallowing his own saliva..
