I Can See Your Combat Power

“A creature like the Blood Slave was quite impressive a thousand years ago, but in today’s context, it’s not that special,” Tang Luo spoke to the two girls at his back while walking towards the blood essence, “With your level of spiritual power cultivation, it is almost impossible to use unattributed spiritual power and physical strength to destroy the blood essence. Many attributed spiritual powers also have little effect on it, but there are two kinds of commonly seen spiritual power attributes that can be considered the nemesis of these creatures.”

Everything in this world has what promotes it and what restrains it. Given equal quantities and qualities, there’s always a way to work smarter, not harder. Before cultivating the Undying Battle Body, the way Tang Luo thought of conserving spiritual power was by integrating all Spirit Arts, due to the almost demon-like ability he had. Learning Spirit Arts that would take others one or two months, he could master just by merely looking at them. Being locked next to the Star Core and being able to control the spiritual power gave him the luxury of visualizing various Spirit Arts forever.

This meant he could learn a lot of Spirit Arts and pushed them to great heights. In his previous plans, using spiritual power of a level higher to exhibit Spirit Arts of restraining attributes was the most suitable battle method for him. Not only did it conserve spiritual power, but it also gave the best results. Even though the original plan was upgraded due to the appearance of the Undying Battle Body, the ten years of accumulation hadn’t been wasted. Particularly in the period when he entered the Secret Arts Pavilion, there was an explosive increase in his Spirit Art accumulation.

Facing the blood essence which emerged after the Blood Slave was smashed and its blood armor destroyed, he had dozens of ways to destroy them. For the purpose of alleviating awkwardness, he decided to impart some of these techniques to the two young girls in front of him, these techniques were generally considered closely guarded secrets. He decided to apologize for smashing their heads recently.

“You can easily destroy these blood essences as long as you learn any ice attribute Spirit Art, like Mortal-ranked Spirit Arts such as Profound Ice Finger or Cold Ice Palm,” Tang Luo raised his index finger for the two young girls to see. As he infused a little spiritual power into it, his finger turned into a sea blue color, resulting from the Profound Ice Finger’s technique.

Walking among the dozen or so human-sized blood essences, Tang Luo slightly bent down and nonchalantly pointed his long muscular arm at a few squirming blood essences. The tough blood essence quickly froze into a tough lump as soon as the cold spiritual power was infused into it. The blood that was originally moving towards the blood essence seemed to have suddenly lost contact and dropped to the ground.

Both the teary-eyed Tang Fengran and Tang Zhen, who were covering their heads, looked at Tang Luo in unfathomable admiration. They watched as the troublesome blood essence was so easily destroyed under the Profound Ice Finger.

“Ahem…” Seeing the look in the two young girls’ eyes, Tang Luo knew that his diversion of attention had been particularly successful. Enthusiastically, he said, “Apart from ice attributes, there is another typically one that has a significant lethal effect on blood essence, which is poison.”

“Poison?” With great difficulty, Tang Fengran lowered her hand and asked curiously, “Does blood essence cover everything? Is it effective?”

“Not quite. Although these spiritual power poisons aren’t very effective.” Tang Luo seemed to be back in the training ground of Cultivation Ground N0.7. However, these two girls were much smarter than those apprentices. At least they thought during the teaching process and they could infer other things from one fact.

Tang Luo looked at Tang Fengran approvingly, causing the 16-year-old girl to blush and quickly avert her gaze.

Well, after all, she’s a young girl. Tang Luo explained kindly, “But like Desiccated Wood Skill, Decay Fist, Bone-Dissolving Palm, and Blood-Condensing Sting, the effect is quite good indeed.”

Like a martial arts encyclopedia, Tang Luo’s hands continuously changed colors as he exhibited several types of poisonous Spirit Arts, using minimal spiritual power output. He connected these to several nearby blood essences.

A few blood essences either evaporated after violently writhing or turned green before stinking, some were turned into a puddle of thick liquid, and others were turned into hard lumps. Under the shocked and admiring gaze of the two girls, Tang Luo effortlessly destroyed the supposedly indestructible blood essences.

Tang Luo was very pleased with himself and the admiring gaze of his two fans. He continued, “There are some other Spirit Arts, the effects are not as strong as these two, but they do considerable damage to the blood essences, for example, Buddhist Mantras, Exorcism Charms, Fist of Light, and Grand Palm. Some more common but less effective ones include Spirit Fire Palm and Rushing Thunder Finger Power.”

“Rushing Thunder Finger Power can work too?” Tang Fengran suddenly perked up and asked. She had trained in this finger technique when she first entered the cultivation site to enhance her finger power. Now hearing that this technique was also effective in destroying blood essences, she couldn’t help herself but ask, “Can I… can I give it a try?”

Look, see how proactive this student is. Tang Luo looked at Tang Fengran with satisfaction and tossed a half-body-sized blood essence at Tang Fengran’s feet.

Tang Fengran was a little bashful under Tang Luo’s smiling gaze, as soon as she saw the blood essence roll over, she quickly redirected all her attention onto the blood essence. She infused her right hand with spiritual power and under the crackling sounds, the Rushing Thunder Finger Power began to form. As she clawed at the blood essence, the originally impenetrable outer layer of the blood essence was easily pierced. The power of thunder poured into the blood essence, making it convulse violently, and the blood that had originally gathered together started to boil and scatter.

In a few moments, the blood essence almost half the size of a human had melted away. Although its efficiency was not as high as that of the ice attribute and poison attribute Spirit Arts, its effectiveness was still impressive. If she had known earlier that there was such a way to destroy blood essences, she wouldn’t have had to flee from the Blood Slaves. Moreover, her friend wouldn’t have had to sacrifice herself in order to protect them. Tang Fengran thought regretfully.

While the two were having a conversation, the silent Tang Zhen suddenly called out, “Be careful, Tang Luo!”

Compared to Tang Fengran, Tang Zhen was not particularly interested in martial arts. Since Tang Luo proved his identity, she had kept an eye on him, but she had not found an opportunity to converse with him. She wanted to tell Tang Luo the location of another team, which included his own younger siblings. However, since Tang Luo had been explaining how to destroy the blood essences, she didn’t dare to interrupt him. She decided to wait until the blood essences were all taken care of as Tang Luo could fly.

However, Tang Luo had used a considerable amount of time to show off his abilities. Although he destroyed ten pieces of blood essence, a few of them had already formed and started to screech as they struck towards Tang Luo with their claws.

At the same moment as Tang Zhen’s shout, Tang Luo turned around in a whoosh. His muscular arms moved in such a way that they seemed to disappear. After a few moments of shaking, the sound of several explosives almost merged into one. Tang Luo turned back calmly – the Blood Slaves that were swinging their claws seemed to have been frozen in place, stuck there without moving.

When he turned back around, he held two human skull-sized blood essences in his arms. Silver light shone in his arm, and his immense strength was poured into his fingertips.

With two crunching sounds, the sturdy blood essence, that was as tough as a steel ball, was crushed to bits. Those blood slaves that were immobilized one after the other turned into a puddle of blood.

The strange thing was, even though the blood from the blood essences splattered, not a single drop landed on Tang Luo. It was as if an invisible shield had blocked the blood..
