All the clothes he had brought no longer fit him. Discussing the top garment, Tang Luo’s robust arms simply couldn’t squeeze into the sleeves. Trying to force them in would merely ensure his arms stayed airborne. As for the trousers, they were no better. Struggled as he might to shove his calves into them, they didn’t reach the thighs without ripping open. The trousers became shorts, assuming an absurd Cheongsam style. Thus naked from the waist up, Tang Luo could only wear a pair of shorts floating in the wind, just enough to cover the vital parts.

Roughly a hundred stone mock-ups remained in the training field, all but one were left crushed into rubble. A huge silver hammer had been thrust into the ground nearby, deeply embedded in the earth.

He had initially figured the weight of eight hundred catties to be perfect for practising. But now, it seemed inadequate.

“What the hell!” Sitting cross-legged in front of the last stone mock-up, a frustrated Tang Luo struck at it.

“Splat-” The upper body of the stone figure got dislodged and scattered, only the legs remained, connected to the base.

Seeing the last stone mock-up disintegrated with just one slap, Tang Luo looked at his own palm, shook his head, stood up, and went into the thatched hut.

A bed, a table, a spiritual array, that was all there was in the hut. Seeing only a stump of the top-grade Tai Sui left on the table made the muscled Tang’s face look even grimmer. The daily piece of top-grade Tai Sui was far from meeting his energy needs. He needed at least two more.

Tang Luo inserted a piece of crystal stone into the array. A towering pillar of red light rose from the roof, visible to the person in charge of retreat outside the mountain.

With the activation of the spiritual array, Tang Luo sat by the table and listed his needs: two top-grade Tai Sui, fifty copper figures, fifty iron dummies, a three thousand catties bronze hammer, a two thousand jin short handle mixed hammer, and ten oversized training suits.

When Tang Han arrived on his green luan in front of Tang Luo’s hut, he saw the note pasted on the door. Seeing the stone figures shattered on the ground, he gave a bitter smile, took the note, turned towards the hut and said, “Old man Luo, please wait patiently for two days, I will gather everything.

“Eh….”

The spring hunting of March extended till April which was the limit, each tribe’s leader and their sons had their own matters to handle. They couldn’t endlessly take pleasure. Also, with the end of the spring hunt, the enclosure of the Tang Clan in the West City would certainly have to be dismantled.

If after the end of the spring hunt, they despatched warriors to keep watch, even if the people of the Mi Clan were insensible, they would still know that there was definitely a matter here.

When everyone was at wits’ end, the clan leader Tang Zhi suggested, “Demolish the Fox Deity Temple and build an administration office directly here for the village chief and allocate all the neighbouring lands to the martial warriors of the Tang Clan and then despatch the Battle Hall warriors to open up the virgin soil.”

For Tang Zhi, neatly concealing the tunnel under the Fox Deity Temple wasn’t a difficult task. The five-acre policy was used by Tang Luo to benefit the people of Xiling, but before benefiting the Xiling people, as the initiator of the policy, the Tang Clan would certainly take care of the clan warriors who followed the Tang Clan.

The relatively fertile and flat land outside Xiling City was all allocated to the clan warriors. What was allocated to common people were the desolate lands far from Xiling City. Therefore, even such a fair policy still had unfair parts.

Just needing a quota of a hundred or so clan warriors would fade away the thousand-acre land around the Fox Deity Temple. This was Tang Zhi’s method of hiding the Fox Deity Temple. He wanted Mi Clan to believe that this five-acre policy was a method used by the Tang Clan to encircle land.

Doing so would not only fool the Mi Clan, but also make the Mi Clan emulate it, causing them to have no time for distractions.

Amidst unanimous applause of the elders, the Fox Deity Temple was flattened and a new village office stood there overseeing all the village affairs of West City.

April Eighteen

Having secluded himself for exactly one month, the eight rippled in the Minor Spirit Realm Gate suddenly oscillated.

The ripples of the Spirit Realm Gate, each one represents a person who entered the Minor Spirit Realm. Such violent fluctuations meant that a martial artist had been seriously injured. If the ripples disappeared, it would mean that one person in the Minor Spirit Realm had lost his life.

The five individuals, Ji Qing, who undertook the mission of guards in the underground molten cave, were terribly frightened and immediately informed the Tang Clan’s warriors law guarding outside the passage.

Ji Fu and Xu Lao Ying came to the underground molten cave in a little while. Seeing the ripples that had become calm again, Ji Fu said to Xu Lao Ying, “They must have come near the central secret store and started to clean up the puppets.”

Although he said so, Ji Fu’s face was extremely sullen. He couldn’t grasp why someone would get injured as soon as they came in contact. After all, Ji Ming is an excellent warrior, leading six Tang Clan warriors with formidable Spiritual Arts. How could they not handle those sluggish puppets unable to exert spiritual arts?

Xu Lao Ying was also clenching his brows and asked,” Big Brother, can you figure out who these ripples represent?”

“All eight are peak Mortal Realm warriors, it’s impossible to recognize from the strength and weakness of the ripples.” Ji Fu shook his head in response. While the two were talking, three more ripples started shaking. Xu Lao Ying was so scared that he screamed, “Big Brother, look!”

Ji Fu turned around abruptly and saw that on the Minor Spirit Realm Gate, four ripples were shaking more and more violently.

Suddenly, one of the ripples disappeared.

The faces of the two changed notably. This ripple disappearing meant that one of the warriors who entered the Minor Spirit Realm had lost his life. Looking at the violent shaking of the other three ripples, this death could probably set off a chain reaction.

Of course, Tang Luo, who was secluding himself in the back mountain of the clan dwelling, had no idea about the drastic changes in the Minor Spirit Realm. He was relishing in the magic of his body.

Because he suddenly found a method to go home without having to explain his situation. His body shape was fixed within each realm. If he stored all the spiritual energy of the dantian into the stars and left less than 2999 points, Tang Luo’s body would revert to the Mortal Realm status, being a normal sized young man. Even when the Undying Battle Body is activated, causing the array circulating over two hundred spiritual power points would still strengthen Tang Luo’s Mortal Realm body. Regardless, it doesn’t require energy supplement. The array would automatically adjust his strength to a matching level.

Exploding all his spiritual energy into the divine runes would transform him into a strikingly built figure, easily shattering gold and jade with each movement. The drawback would be that it made him prone to hunger, or to be exact, particularly susceptible to hunger.

The body’s energy consumption was remarkably high. However, the ninth-grade Undying Body required a piece of top-grade Tai Sui per meal. If the Undying Battle Body remained activated during training, three meals a day would require three pieces of top-grade Tai Sui. Even without running the Undying Battle Body, this body size would still need two pieces of top-grade Tai Sui to sustain.

Tang Luo finally understood why the strongest in the Extended-arm Divine Ape would devour dragons and phoenixes. Only the energy contained in dragon meat could replenish such a level of consumption.

In order not to let his power fluctuate every day, he had fixed the spiritual power of the dantian’s stars at 14,000 points. All the others were stored in the stars. The advantage of this was that he finally had the time to familiarize himself with his own power, which is convenient for practicing strength..
