Chapter 391: Why Do I Keep Losing Numbers, Extra Update (2)
Although they admired Tang Luo's martial prowess, no one had any faith he could triumph in battle, because Young Master Chu was simply too powerful.
If there were any differences between the three thousand-swords-level fighters and the hundred-swords-level fighters, besides birth, the main difference was that all three had awakened their Earth Level bloodlines.
Xiao Ziyu awakened the Fire God bloodline, Tang Qingshan awakened the Ancient Demon Transformation, and Mi Chu awakened the Beast Spirit bloodline, all of which were extremely powerful abilities at the Earth Level.
Among the three, Mi Chu's Beast Spirit bloodline had the highest grade. According to the Xu Clan's classification of common bloodline abilities, it had reached Earth Level third grade.
Because he had awakened the Beast Spirit bloodline, Mi Chu's abilities surpassed those of ordinary Mortal Realms, and this gap would grow as his cultivation improved.
Though people always say that hard work can defeat talent, they do not realize that striving is merely the basic condition of reaching the top. The real
competition at the summit involves a group of exceptionally talented individuals who exert immense efforts to succeed.
A common person might surpass 80% of the population by working hard, but they would soon realize a tragically comical fact: no matter how much effort they put in, they can never overtake the remaining 20%. This is what commoners refer to as the 'limit.'
The notion that hard work can defeat talent only exists because the majority of people do not work hard enough to challenge those with gifted abilities. This creates an illusion that they can continuously surpass others with effort.
Historical records will show that most warriors who have made a name for themselves throughout history are those with awakened bloodlines. Only a few exceptions exist.
That's why many clan members give up on martial arts. If they train hard but can't surpass those naturally gifted, what are they doing it for?
The people of Xiling certainly believe in Tang Luo's exceptional talents, but it's unfortunate that there is no news of the Pride of Xiling awakening any bloodline abilities at the Mortal Realm. Besides, with the difference in the peak cultivation levels of Mi Chu and Tang Luo, the latter's challenge can be likened to throwing an egg at a rock.
However, the Pride of Xiling didn't seem to realize this. Upon hearing Mi Chu's acceptance, he laughed and was about to say something when the scholar who had fainted behind him abruptly sat up.
Sensing motion behind him, Tang Luo turned around and reassured the scholar, "Lao Bai, stand aside for now. In a bit, I'll take you to regenerate your limbs."
Although losing limbs would mean lifelong disability for ordinary people, the Tang Clan has vast resources and is more than capable of dealing with this kind of injury.
Just previously, after getting drunk with Tang Luo, Mi Bai suddenly looked ashamed and said, "Brother Tang... Young Master Tang, I am actually a descendant of the Mi Village, the son of MiQing." He did not initially wish to have any involvement with Tang Luo, but they established a bond due to his relationship with Old Xu, which increased his admiration for this famous Pride of Xiling.
However, the words of Mi Chu and the actions of Jiang Lin made him realize that with his identity, there would always be a barrier between him and Tang Luo's friendship, perhaps the latter would remain distant like Xiao Zheng, once he learned about his real identity. Mi Bai thought of this and couldn't help but feel glum.
Hearing Mi Bai's words, Yan Lingqing, who was sitting on the back of the Red Moon Flame Tiger, mocked Tang Luo, "Tang Tianjiao, you probably don't know, your good friend here is the last of the rebel Mi Clan that was annihilated by the Tang and Mi Clans more than a decade ago. I wonder what special skills this scholar has to deceive the 'Pride of Xiling1, Tang Luo, and the Xiao Clan's son, going so far as to even form a brotherhood with a rebel."
Another uproar ensued, and everyone was astonished to learn that the scholar knew the Pride of Xiling.
Not satisfied, Yan Lingqing continued, "Please step aside, Young Master Tianjiao, and let us deal with this rebel before you fight with my family's young master!"
A loud "bang" sounded like a hammer striking into flesh.
The invisible shadow of the Mighty Heavenly Dragon fiercely slammed into the conceited Yan Lingqing, knocking him flying face-first with blood covering his cheeks. The Red Moon Flame Tiger beneath him only noticed its master's situation after the attack, letting out a thunderous roar. It sprayed jets of sulfur flame from its colossal nostrils, widened its mighty flaming wings, and its copper bell-like eyes searched around. Unable to detect the attacker, it merely kept a watchful eye on all sides.
Although wild beasts are sensitive to Spiritual Power, they don't understand these divine techniques. Only Xiao Ziyu and Mi Chu saw Tang Luo's punch out of thin air towards the void, and it was after this motion that Yan Lingqing had been sent flying. Both of them looked grave.
"Who is it? Who dared to sneak attack me!" yelled Yan Lingqing from the midair, he wasn't killed by the surprise attack, but landed safely. He immediately wiped the blood from his face and yelled angrily, with fear underlying his voice.
The initial blow was quick and heavy. If his body hadn't been forged to this extent, and he hadn't cultivated a defensive secret technique, he would have had his skull shattered by the attack.
Quickly standing up, Yan Lingqing used another defensive technique and cloaked himself within a verdant force, guarding himself attentively and searching for the person who had sneak attacked him.
After the shadow of the Mighty Heavenly Dragon knocked Yan Lingqing flying with one blow, it grabbed the large net full of children next to the Red Moon Flame Tiger and flew towards Tang Luo, swift as the wind.
To the onlookers who couldn't see the shadow, it appeared as if an invisible hand had grabbed the net. Tang Luo in the distance maintained a pose of grasping at thin air, and coldly said, "Why bother with you? Just clean your neck and wait for
death!"

For a moment, numerous whispers sounded. Everyone wanted to know what
method Tang Luo used to send Yan Lingqing, a well-known character of the
Beast King residence, flying.
Among them, the most shocked was Xiao Ziyu, because he felt that Tang Luo's
attack was very similar to the divine technique of the Monument Dragon Diagram, Divine Dragon Shadow, when practiced to the highest realm.

The difference between Tang Luo's method and the highest level of the Monument Dragon Diagram was that the Divine Dragon Shadow was m achieved by first training the Monument Dragon Diagram to Nine Dragons Realm, and combining the
nine dragons into one. Although it could also achieve almost instantaneous attacking effect, it was
essentially composed of Spiritual
Power, hence the energy fluctuations could be felt. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
Judging from its effects, The shadow's punch only carried several tens of
thousands of kilograms of strength, and after piercing through Yan Lingqing's defensive skill, its force soon dissipated. If it were the Divine Dragon Shadow, the punch would have shattered his skull.

Tang Luo was slightly disappointed that he did not manage to blow Yan
Lingqing's head up. After all, he was

not fully awake, and his bodily template was still at the Mortal же Realm level. Even though he had the
fifth grade Undying Body that was nurtured by Innate Qi, he only had a strength of a hundred thousand kilograms. The shadow could only

Realm cultivator who had activated his defensive technique in one strike. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
