Tang Luo appeared relaxed, sauntering casually over to them with the Zitan wood box in hand. Turning to Ji Fu, he introduced himself, “Let me introduce myself. I am the one who possesses the Boundary Breaking Stone, Tang Luo.
It’s nice to meet you.”
While Ji Fu’s appearance was a thorny problem for Old Xu, it was a great piece of news for Tang Luo. It meant that he could gain access to the precious methods and foundations in the treasury several years earlier.
In this era of great strife, enhancing the clan’s strength was a race against time. Being able to acquire the secret arts from the treasury earlier meant becoming stronger sooner. Tang Luo truly saw Ji Fu as a generous and understanding individual.
However, this was only representative of Tang Luo’s standpoint. Ji Fu, upon hearing Tang Luo’s casual greeting, felt as though he had been slapped in the face.
When had it become acceptable for a vassal’s son of the Xu Clan to address him in such a manner? Ji Fu was so angered that he trembled. In a frosty voice, he asked, “Kid, do you know who you are speaking to?”
Tang Luo smiled and nodded, “Of course, I know.”
“And you still dare to speak to me like that?” In his fury, a silvery gleam flashed in Ji Fu’s hand as a holy lance appeared out of thin air, its tip aimed at Tang
Luo’s throat.
Despite the unfriendly demeanor, Tang Luo smiled, “By the looks of it, you want to fight?”
With a resounding blast, the lance left his hand, aiming straight for Tang Luo’s throat. Ji Fu’s face remained emotionless, ruthlessly replying to Tang Luo s question with a deathblow.
,,clang ” Four heavy swords simultaneously appeared, slashing at the lance
flying towards them, and sent it flying.
“Cousin, don’t take action. This is my younger cousin. If he has offended you, please forgive him!” Old Xu, who knocked the lance aside, dispelled the silvery light from his eyes and apologized to Ji Fu with a respectful bow.
Seeing his manifested lance being knocked out of the sky, Ji Fu turned to Old Xu and unhappily said, “A young man with no understanding of the world, and his elder is equally reckless!? Speaking so brazenly, he won’t know how he died when the time comes, do you plan on protecting him forever?”.
He had thought Tang Luo to be merely a vassal, but turned out he was a relative. That explained it. Many relatives of the sacred land were of this sort, assuming that anyone would give them some respect due to their backing by the sacred land, thus cultivating a haughty and arrogant demeanor. They lacked the power of the sacred land but had all of its problems.
Now, Ji Fu viewed Tang Luo as one of these arrogant relatives of the sacred land, so he didn’t even bother to take another glance at him, speaking directly to Old Xu.
Upon hearing this, Old Xu’s brows furrowed. He did not like Ji Fu’s condescending attitude, because Tang Luo was his brother, someone he wouldn’t let others chastise. But Old Xu, unversed in the art of debating, did not know how to respond and his complexion sunk.
“1 really was underestimated, wasn’t I?” Tang Luo cast a glance at Old Xu and indifferently dispersed the Vermillion Bird Seal in his hand. In his heart, he felt both amused and offended.
People like Ji Fu often first reasoned before taking action. Thus, his preemptive strike was well within Tang Luo’s expectations. The Vermillion Bird Seal, clenched tightly within his sleeve, was meant to teach Ji Fu a lesson.
First, he would teach Ji Fu a lesson, then reveal his power. This combination should suffice to make Ji Fu learn how to speak more calmly. But who would have thought that Old Xu, not trusting Tang Luo, would directly intervene to protect him, thus preventing Tang Luo from employing his planned strategy. It was a case of good intentions resulting in bad outcomes.
“Well, this isn’t too bad either. It saves me some Spiritual Power.” Tang Luo shook his head helplessly, looking at the two sons behaving like roosters in a cockfight, and released his full aura.
A dominant aura unique to the peak of the Mortal Metamorphosis Realm emanated from Tang Luo’s body. This caused both Ji Fu and Old Xu to turn their gazes onto him simultaneously.
“Impossible!” Ji Fu blurted. Tang Luo looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old but was displaying the realm of unity of spirit and intent at the peak of Mortal Metamorphosis. The gust-like, razor-sharp aura was constantly reminding him of the formidable cultivation of the youth before him.
If a scion of a sacred land could reach the peak of Mortal Metamorphosis at fourteen or fifteen years old, then what was there to talk about the revival of the Han Family!
The one who was most shocked was Old Xu. He believed that he understood Tang Luo well as they occasionally discussed martial arts.
Old Xu acknowledged and admired his younger cousin’s achievements in martial arts and his creativity even more, so. The display of the Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique and the nameless fire technique had given him an inspired feeling, the only flaw was the low level of his realm.
But for a boy of fifteen, one couldn’t ask for more. So, at heart, he acknowledged Tang Luo as a prodigy that he could engage in equal dialogue about martial arts.
But when this sharp, dominating aura appeared, Old Xu suddenly realized that he apparently didn’t understand Tang Luo at all.
Or rather, his previous understanding, after the appearance of this aura, came crashing down.
That was because, according to the records of the Xu Clan, the youngest person to reach the peak of Mortal Metamorphosis in all of martial arts history was the little master of the An Family- sixteen years old!
His own cousin not only broke this record, but just by this aura alone, one could imagine how refined his spiritual power was. As long as he had enough Spiritual Energy, breaking through to the Fierce Realm should be a piece of cake!
At this moment, he suddenly recalled Tang Luo’s dream and he zoned out. Originally, he had thought that Tang Luo’s dream was to build a large power and then sit in a high position, a state that was congruous with the concept of ‘surpassing others’.
That was because, in his cognition, Tang Luo was a person who favored strategic tactics over martial arts, but now it seemed like he might have misunderstood something.
just based on reaching the peak of Mortal Metamorphosis, his own cousin had accomplished something unprecedented. For those who come after, surpassing him would be almost an impossible task.
The dream he proclaimed atop of Red Cloud Peak implied something profound after he revealed his realm.
Looking at the two of them with shocked and dazed expressions, Tang Luo maintained his calm demeanor, and said lightly, “Now let’s discuss the matter of the distribution of the Boundary Breaking Stone.”
At this moment, even though the young master appeared plain, he carried an air of indisputable dominance. His achievement of unifying spirit and intent at the age of fifteen signified that he had the qualifications to converse with the two young masters of the sacred family on an equal footing.
That was because standing in front of them was the youngest person in martial arts history to reach the peak of Mortal Metamorphosis.
As the saying goes, when one reaches the top, they look down on everyone else. Did you think this young master was just bragging?
The Zitan wood box opened, and Tang Luo held the Boundary Breaking Stone in his hand. The milky white glow from the stone penetrated between his fingers and illuminated his body, portraying him as a divine being.
Ji Fu’s expression had never been as solemn as it was now. His family’s records were a thousand years behind that of the Xu Clan. In his knowledge, the youngest person to reach the peak of Mortal Metamorphosis was eighteen years old. Suddenly seeing an existence far surpassing his understanding gave him the feeling of facing a legend.
The more powerful the martial arts family, the more they understood the importance of realm, so they are clear on how difficult it is to reach the peak of Mortal Metamorphosis under almost impossible circumstances. At this moment, not only did he view Tang Luo on equal ground with himself, but he even harbored deep apprehension.
But the ownership of the Boundary Breaking Stone was the cornerstone for the revival of the Han Family, and it could not be up for debate. Even in the face of the threat posed by Tang Luo’s legendary cultivation level, he could not show any sign of weakness.
“Your cultivation level is one thing, combat ability is another. I acknowledge that you have the qualifications to converse with me, but the Boundary Breaking Stone is the property of the Han Family. Please return it.
“After opening the Minor Spiritual Realm, I will take out 10% of the foundational items from within and gift them to the two of you!”
