I Can See Your Combat Power

When Ji Fu was teaching the Undying Battle Body, he claimed that he could only remember the ten patterns on the arms, whereas the core martial artists of the Han Family all started practicing from the ten patterns on the lower abdomen. If he could memorize the ten patterns on the arms, how could he not remember the ten patterns on the lower abdomen?

This way of training is not in the order of the top five divine patterns of the Han Family. Instead, it follows the order of the Han Family’s vassal martial artists – the cultivation order of people like Ji Man and Ji Di.

Following the initiation sequence Ji Fu provided, after reaching the Five-Element Elephant Body, the only deep-divine storage that the Tang Clan could confidently unlock would be the Gastric Divine Storage in the lower abdomen with ten patterns, which enables the conversion of all forms of nutrition to energy.

From the perspectives of physical strengthening and survival in desperate situations, this Divine Storage is not bad. At least they won’t starve wherever they go in future. But it would be disastrous when they have to fight the Han Family martial artists who have ignited the heart-fire, unlocking the divine heart that functions like a pump, both empowering the same Five-Element Undying Body.

“How could the Undying Bloodline be so terrifying? So it turns out that Ji Fu, this bastard, has ignited the heart-fire and unlocked the blood energy dragon and the divine heart that works like a pump!” Tang Luo, holding the ancient scroll, cursed furiously. Although the Undying Bloodline is considered a top-notch Earth-Level bloodline, seeing Ji Fu’s condition: being reborn after being beaten to just a skeleton by Elder Xu, escaping with blood after his Spirit Blood was burnt out, and then being smashed into a lump of flesh but healed in a short time, is beyond surreal.

Tang Luo didn’t believe that the Undying Bloodline was as terrible as this because such a degree of regenerative ability had exceeded the limit of the boundary. If it wasn’t for the numerous boundary-crossing martial artists that the Tang Clan had sent, a small team from the Fierce Realm could have killed Ji

Fu.

Now, having perused the scrolls carefully, Tang Luo could deduce that Ji Fu had ignited the first Divine Storage. If in his lifetime, he could cultivate the Undying Battle Body to the second level, unlock the Kidney Water Divine Storage and gain the self-healing ability of the Undying Battle Body, he would truly become the Undying Saint King of this world, with no weaknesses.

Due to this asymmetry of information, the Tang Clan suffered a loss this time, and even Tang Luo couldn’t find any way to remedy it.

He had already engraved the ten patterns of Metallic Lung on both arms. With his absolute control over Spiritual Power, he wouldn’t risk Spiritual Power erupting if he forcefully engraved the ten patterns of Earthly Spleen on the lower abdomen. However, Spleen in reality controls Metal. If he engraved in reverse, not only would the core power disappear, but he could also forget about ever opening the Divine Storage in the lower abdomen again. As all his five primary organs – lungs, spleen, heart, liver, and kidneys – would always follow the pattern of strong lungs and weak spleen. This was the cost of marking against the Five Elements.

For the current generation of martial artists of the Tang Clan to achieve Blood Energy Dragon and Divine Heart like a Pump, they must first reach the first rank of the Undying Battle Body.

Because after engraving the five superior Divine Patterns, every additional spiritual formation drawn could enhance the physical body once, and the Divine Storage that had already been opened would then assist the next generation spiritual formation in opening a new Divine Storage.

That is to say, this generation of the Tang Clan opened the Spleen Earth Divine Storage, the next one would be Lung Gold Void Dual Wheels, then the Kidney Water Body of Rebirth, after which comes the Liver Wood Invulnerable to All Toxins, and finally, igniting the heart-fire to become Blood Energy Dragon and Divine Heart like a Pump.

All things in the world eventually converge to the same destination. In the end, all five Divine Storages would ignite following this order. And without a second thought, one can imagine how vigorous the heart-fire ignited by the superior spiritual formations, blessed by the Divine Storage, would be. Blood energy would not just be like a dragon, it would be like a sea; and the Divine Heart would be more than a pump, it would be a black hole!

But all these depend on cultivating the Undying Battle Body to the first rank, just as it was just said. With Saint Han as an example, his Undying Battle Body was at the second rank.

It would be a great blessing if the martial artists of this generation in the Tang Clan could ignite the Kidney Water Divine Storage, let alone talk about opening the Heart-Fire Divine Storage.

It was precisely because he had given a sequence which certainly could not ignite the Heart-Fire Divine Storage, that even when Ji Fu saw that Tang Luo was cultivating so rapidly, he was only slightly astonished. Because he simply did not believe that Tang Luo could cultivate to the first rank of the Undying Battle Body, and as long as Tang Luo could not light up Blood Energy Dragon and Divine Heart like a Pump Divine Storage, he did not take any other Major Divine Storages seriously.

“Shooting at the goose all day but getting pecked in the eye by the goose instead,” Tang Luo sighed.

It seems that these wandering noble families should not be underestimated. Even one as dull as a bull, like Ji Fu, could give him such a hard time.

If it was only about the martial artists of this generation of the Tang Clan, Tang Luo would not feel too regretful. The key issue is that his father, Tang Sen, too had engraved the patterns on both arms. This was the most regrettable part.

Just thinking about his father, who possesses dual power bloodlines, following the Han Clan’s order to engrave the five superior divine patterns, and open the Heart-Fire Divine Storage, Tang Luo didn’t dare to speculate on the kind of formidable strength he would possess. But now, because of Ji Fu’s scheming, everything had become an illusion, which was a great pity.

“Impressive, Young Master Ji.” Tang Luo shook his head, tucked the scrolls into his robe, and sighed.

The contest between noble clans was never simply a physical one. Besides basic strengths, it is more important to establish superiority in various aspects, focusing on one’s strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

Conspiracies are often simple tricks that can’t be made public, but stratagems are different.

Without scheming, it’s just taking advantage of your ignorance. Ji Fu may seem dull, but with just a cultivation sequence, he prevents the strong potential of the Tang’s Clan this generation from flourishing. Because in his eyes, of the entire Tang Clan, only Tang Luo caught his attention. As long as Tang Luo did not reach Blood Energy Dragon and Divine Heart like a Pump, there is nothing to worry about.

But no matter how cunning he is, he could not imagine that Tang Luo’s affinity to the Undying Battle Body might far exceed his expectation. It can be said that Ji Fu’s imagination has been limited by his common sense.

Because Tang Luo’s Spiritual Power is not like anyone else’s. In normal people, Spiritual Power is constantly circulating in their bodies, mostly just resting in the Dantian. Hence they can only command four to five-tenths of their body’s strength at once.

This circulation of Spiritual Power strengthens their bodies, making their muscles stronger over time, and enables them to support the next evolution. But Tang Luo’s body is like a model. All the Spiritual Energy is locked in the Dantian by the Star Core. As long as he does not operate the Spiritual Power himself, his body has been fixed from the second he broke through. Additionally, the more Spiritual Power in the Dantian, the more his body will change to match the level of the Spiritual Power. While it does not stand out, it has the advantage of convenience and speed.

Once it comes to body refining, the advantage of his unusual body becomes evident – it automatically maximises the effect of body forging. At the Nineth Ranking of the Undying Battle Body, people could acquire the strength of nine bulls and two tigers. The arm spiritual formations, in addition to making their sense of smell sharper, also make their skin as resistant as a Fierce Bull. Hence, the Ninth Rank of the Undying Battle Body is also referred to as the Fierce Bull Battle Body.

However, the Ninth Rank of Tang Luo’s Undying Battle Body had clearly transformed his body into a Divine Ape Battle Body. Not only was the strength of its upper body greater, but the defensive effect of the Spiritual Formations on both arms was also maximised.

The skin resistance of the Ninth Rank Undying Battle Body could make the skin of a person as tough as a Fierce Bull. Even a knife or axe could only leave a faint white mark, such effect is already extraordinary. But Tang Luo’s skin had undergone a mysterious transformation. When he activates the formations of the Divine Patterns on his arms, an invisible layer of Spiritual Energy membrane appears on his body, providing a double protective layer together with the extra tough exterior, making him almost invincible.

This is the key reason why he could take on the Wind Attack Thrice with his bare hands. The spiral force that penetrates and destroys the body would lose its power after annihilating the Spiritual Membrane around his body, only to be crushed by Tang Luo’s bare hands..
