Going

Old Master Xu felt a bit awkward to be praised as handsome. As a man, it was
the first time he had received such a compliment. Women at places known for
their beauty are usually eloquent, even when they complimented his eyes, they'd
used words like “charming’ or “elegant’. This was the first time he'd heard
someone use “handsome’.
Hence he awkwardly responded: “Your eyes are also handsome.
“Mm-hm!” The little boy nodded happily as he continued eating.
After expressing his fondness, the twelve-year-old Tang Xing concluded his
conversation. He had his unique pace of chatting.
Tang Luo didn’t share his calmness, if memory served him correctly, ten days ago
when he saw Old Master Xu, the latter had a spiritual power of 9999 (12856),
which was 22855 in total.
The fact that such an amount of spiritual power was present in a twenty-year-old
martial artist was already jaw-dropping. But in just ten short days, his spiritual
power had increased to 9999 (12962), an increase of 106 points, which meant he
had a daily spiritual power growth of 10.6.
Keep in mind that even a Fierce Realm martial artist like Tang Sen had about 5.2
spiritual power accumulated daily; yet Old Master Xu's rate was more than twice
that of Tang Sen's.
“How is that possible!” Tang Luo muttered.
An increase of 10 points per day means that in just two more years, his cousin
will breakthrough into the Fierce Realm. A Fierce Realm powerhouse at twenty-
two, could there really be someone of a talent level of 53 in this world? Even if
you've never eaten pork, you've seen a pig run. Tang Luo is currently a decent
martial arts researcher and with his ability to see spiritual power, he has an
accurate judgment of a martial artist s talent.
An average person has a talent level of 1, those with a talent level of 1.1 are
considered talented. If it reaches 1.2, they are considered geniuses, and for 13,
they are rightfully called exceptional talents. As for those reaching 1.4, he had
only ever seen one person, Fang Han.
People with a talent level of 2 or above should not, in theory, exist, let alone
reaching 53. This made him curious about Old Master Xu’s rapid increase in
spiritual power.
Just as Tang Luo was lost in thought, looking at the top of Old Master Xu s head,
the person in question put down his chopsticks and said to Tang Sen, “Uncle,
besides visiting you, I have another task on this trip.
Tang Sen looked up, “What is it?"
Old Master Xu glanced at Tang Luo and said, “My cousin, he should have
awakened the Xu Family's bloodline and I want to take him back to the clan.
Xu Shuhui was startled, her chopsticks fell onto the table with a “clatter”. She
glanced in disbelief at Tang Luo, then at her resolute nephew.
Tang Sen turned to Tang Luo, “Would you like to go?”
Tang Luo calmly put down his chopsticks and thought for a moment, “Maybe in a
few years.”
“Alright,” Tang Sen turned to Old Master Xu, “You heard him.
Seeing the father and son's similarly calm expressions, Xu Shuhui gave an
apologetic look to her nephew.
Old Master Xu, looking at his apologetic aunt, laughed it off, “It's okay if my
cousin doesn’t want to go.”
Watching her nephew being so agreeable, Xu Shuhui found it hard to believe.
Old Master Xu picked up his chopsticks again, explaining, “Tm not like those old
men in the clan, I don't think all the bloodlines in the world should belong to the
Xu Clan.”
There was resentment in his tone, presenting his deep dissatisfaction with the
Xu Clan.
Among all the sacred lands in the world, the Xu Clan in Yuanzhou does the most
thorough research on bloodlines. Many awakened bloodline holders from various
clans would willingly send their children to the Xu Clan for education and form a
bond. As for the awakened bloodlines in their own clan, whether they were
branches or the main lineage, all were brought under the clan’s control, aiming to
recreate the glory of Xu Sheng'’s Taiching Divine Pupil.
But such favoring of bloodlines over martial arts irked Old Master Xu greatly, and
this time he wanted to help Tang Luo. If his cousin didn’t want to go to Yuanzhou,
what's the harm in him not reporting it? He'd had enough of the Xu Clan’s
arrogance, believing only they could cultivate excellent bloodline holders.
Tang Luo gave a smile and said “thank you” to Old Master Xu.
He had already figured out why Old Master Xu was so certain he had awakened
a bloodline. It must have been when he identified the cultivation levels of four
martial artists at the peak of the Mortal Realm among more than ten martial
artists outside the Fox Immortal Temple. At that time, they had not yet activated
their spiritual power, and even martial artists with amazing perception would not
be able to detect their true cultivation level, yet he had exposed them all, and
that's likely when his cousin started to suspect him. It seems he had to be mindful
of these little details in the future. If not Old Master Xu, but some other
messengers from the Xu Clan, it wouldn't have been so easy to deal with.

spoke, he kept making gestures,
hinting at Tang Luo to hurry up and
eat. It had been ten days since the
battle at Fox Immortal Temple.
During this time, he had been holed
up in the Secret Arts Pavilion, feeling
like time flew by too quickly, and had

it.
Suddenly being asked to discuss important matters, he can't for the life of him
imagine what that could be. Tang Luo acquiesced and put down his chopsticks,
saying, “I'm done eating.”
“I'm done too-" Old Master Xu followed suit, both of them leaving the dining hall
together.
The moment they left the dining hall, Old Master Xu put his arm around Tang
Luo’s neck and led him to a dark corner where there were no lights, saying in a
mysterious tone, “Cousin, I have a plan to make us rich, and I want you to be a
part of it!"
Tang Luo, pushing away the hand around his neck and rubbing it said gruffly,
“I don’t need money.”
This intimate physical contact that the Xu family is so fond of, he always thought
was Xu Shuhui's unique nature. It appears that it is a characteristic of the Xu
family, which is quite strange. Just when he thought he could escape his
mother’s embrace, another cousin appeared. It's such a pain.

Seeing Tang Luo’s firm expression, Old Master Xu pleaded with a weeping face,
“Cousin, please help your elder cousin earn some money. I'm almost broke!”
Tang Luo looked at his cousin in surprise, wondering how it was possible for such
a strong Mortal Realm martial artist to run short of money, so he asked, “What
happened?”
