I Can See Your Combat Power

The four team members from Longxi, besides their identity as young prodigies, were also a group of buddies who had pulled all-nighters at the Spring Fragrance Pavilion, so when Tang Xing got on the carriage, he didn’t pay any attention, simply assuming that the two were Xiao Ziyu and the others. He didn’t have any reservations, and just spoke directly in the carriage, especially since there was no prodigy pretense to maintain after that night’s team-building.

However, now that he had been smacked on the forehead by his older brother’s hand, he was starting to realize his mistake.

“Old Bai? Lady Mi?”

This strange title had nothing to do with the Longxi Group, and it sounded more like they were unfamiliar outsiders.

The young man clutching his head turned around and his face fell, a scholarly looking man around thirty years old gave him an awkward smile, while the beautiful girl beside him had her eyebrows inverted, full of disdain in her lovely big eyes. It was as if her gaze was cutting across the two brothers with a steel blade, as though she had defined them entirely.

“Heh… hehe,” with a forced laugh while covering his head, the little tyke said to the two, “Tang Xing has seen the two of you, please don’t take my previous words to heart. Although I am indulgent in pleasures, my brother is truly a gentleman!”

Having said that, he also gave Tang Luo a look, clearly expecting praise, but it only made Tang Luo’s forehead throb with a bulging vein.

Because with his unnecessary cover-up, the disdain in Lu Ningxue’s eyes grew even stronger, since the four methods of diagnosis in medicine are observation, listening, inquiry, and pulse-taking.

To accurately discern herbs, physicians must have an extremely keen sense of smell, and the two had just enjoyed a feast at the Spring Fragrance Pavilion. Not only were they reeking of alcohol, they also had a strong scent of the worldly pleasures on them. Even Mi Bai could smell it, otherwise they wouldn’t have been judged purely based on a single sentence.

His attempt at a fix was more like smearing black ink than helping; Tang Luo had already been disappointed with this fool, and with an expressionless face, he raised his hand and chopped at Tang Xing’s forehead again.

This time it wasn’t gentle, and it hurt so much that the youngster squatted on the ground, clutching his head and hissing in pain.

After retracting his hand chop, Tang Luo said indifferently to Mi Bai and Lu Ningxue, “Just now, my brother and I were discussing exceptional beauties of the world, causing amusement for both of you.”

After he finished speaking, he sat down to close his eyes and rest his mind, yet the sight of Tang Xing squatting on the ground holding his head caused Lu Ningxue’s gaze to shift.

Laymen watch the excitement; experts watch the technique. As a disciple of the Hundred Herbs Immortal Mansion, she could see the force contained in that hand chop. If that blow had landed on a regular Mortal Realm spiritual being, it would have been enough to shatter their skull. But here was a boy of only fifteen or sixteen who had just taken a hit and, aside from the pain, he didn’t even seem dizzy. Such endurance was definitely not something a person who had just entered the Mortal Realm could achieve.

As a physician who had treated countless patients, the majority of whom were martial artists, they had a very accurate grasp of a martial artist’s physical strength. Even if one practiced some formidable body tempering secret techniques, it was impossible for a martial artist to instantly attain such a physique.

Although reaching the Mortal Realm at fifteen wasn’t rare, combined with this level of physical strength, it was clear that this kid must have broken through several years ago, which was truly surprising.

Her husband had introduced Tang Luo, but she hadn’t paid much heed to the Pride of Xiling. However, now observing Tang Xing’s foundation, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Is this person really some sort of scion from the Xiling noble families?

Unable to contain her curiosity, Lu Ningxue waved her hand, and a beam of Spiritual Light soothed Tang Xing’s pain. Facing the little guy’s astonished eyes, she asked softly, “When did you break through the Mortal Realm?”

“Many thanks for the medical officer’s assistance!” Tang Xing stood up, his expression solemn as he replied, “I entered the Mortal Realm at the age of thirteen.”

“Thirteen years old?” Lu Ningxue covered her small mouth in shock and repeated incredulously.

Even in a sect like the Hundred Herbs Immortal Mansion, breaking through to the Mortal Realm at thirteen was an incredible achievement.

If it had been another occasion, Tang Xing could have been over the moon with such praise from a beautiful lady, but in front of Tang Luo, he simply remarked with a cheer, “What’s so great about that? My brother also broke through at thirteen, and oh, he was also the top of this Martial Saint Mountain competition, the unparalleled Pride of Xiling!”

It is only because the legends from Kunwu County were often vague in detail that, upon reflection, one would realize that the martial arts competition held within the Kunwu Divine Mountain was itself a high-level contest. Even if the martial artists from Kunwu County were dying of curiosity, they could only glean tidbits from the correspondences of the Arbitration Office.

The Longxi Alliance was participating in the martial arts competition for the first time, and beforehand, no one had any expectations for this team, to the point where they were completely in the dark about the Longxi delegation.

Thus, people only knew that a monster capable of fist-sealing mountains and rivers had appeared at today’s martial arts competition, the entire Kunwu County knew of the Devil King Mo Luo, but only a very few knew who this Devil King Mo Luo actually was.

Moreover, since Lu Ningxue lived a reclusive life, she was even more unaware that the Tang Family scion who had come to fetch her husband was in fact the hailed unparalleled Pride of Kunwu, causing her some surprise.

Not only she was surprised, but so was Mi Bai. Although he had once told Lu Ningxue about two extraordinary friends, the unostentatious man had not elaborated, and with Uncle Xu’s hurried departure a few days ago without revealing his identity, he never connected the Devil King Mo Luo to Tang Luo. Now that he knew his friend was actually the widely acclaimed champion of the entire Kunwu County, a sense of pride suddenly surged within him, and he sincerely exclaimed to Tang Luo, “You shall stand at the top and look down at the smaller mountains. Brother Tang, your dream has come true!”

He still remembered the slightly tipsy trio atop Red Cloud Mountain, reciting their aspirations towards the crimson sea of clouds. Uncle Xu’s path to the Saint King seemed infinitely far, he and the children of Xiling had been apart for years, yet Tang Luo had already become renowned under the heavens. On the path of dreams, among the friends who had set out side by side, one had now taken a significant leap forward, and as a friend, all he had was his profoundest blessings.

“Old Bai, you jest,” Tang Luo opened his eyes, smiling lightly, “Where have I even got to yet? The Martial Saint Mountain in partnership with the Beast Taming Sect has hosted this triennial Longzhou martial arts competition for twenty times, and even the once-in-a-decade Heroes’ Challenge has been held ten times. I don’t know if they have a misunderstanding about what ‘unparalleled in a generation’ means, but an unparalleled genius appears every three years and a title-wielding peerless powerhouse emerges every decade. Although I am indeed very impressive, I’m merely the champion of a martial arts competition at the moment, still tens of thousands of miles away from my dream.”

Always focusing solely on oneself can prevent one from being objective. It’s only by looking further afield that you can truly comprehend what the real world looks like.

Breaking it down, the Longzhou martial arts competition is nothing but a game held by the holy places for the youth. If one truly believes in such a title as ‘unparalleled in a generation,’ then they really can’t see themselves clearly.

The true ‘unparalleled in a generation’ is when I speak, all holy places must listen carefully and treat it seriously. The current status is, at best, a ploy to entertain children, something Tang Luo wouldn’t care about in the slightest.
