Chapter 261: Chapter Two Hundred Fifty-Seven: Girls and Boys of the Jianghu
While Tang Luo was watching the map and manipulating his spiritual energy, his body was enveloped in a silver glow as he completed the entire image of over three thousand spirit points in a short quarter of an hour. The glow was so intense that it shone through his black shirt, not completely obscured by the fabric.
As spiritual motifs began to move around, Tang Luo could feel his muscles bulging uncontrollably. Such a force seemed on the brink of tearing open his clothes. The acidic sensation from his bones left him completely stiff.
"This is bad!" he thought. Despite knowing his physique was different from others, he never expected such a rapid and potent intensification brought upon by body-forging techniques.
His spiritual energy circulated within his body, drawing upon the forces of heaven and earth to enhance his physical strength. This power amplified thousands of times in a short while. For Tang Luo, this abrupt surge in strength was not a good sign.
Suddenly bearing immense strength could cause the brain to lose control over the body. He was not concerned about how embarrassing it would be to rip his clothes, but more about revealing his body's secrets to Ji Fu. That would be a significant loss.
Tang Luo forced the Star Core in his vital energy field to spin, absorbing the spiritual power previously pulled out by the spiritual motifs, causing the silver light on his arms to fade away.
Watching as he successfully controlled the spiritual energy, Tang Luo breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew from his internal vision. When he opened his eyes, he noticed two faces, mere inches away from his own.
Emerging as if from a bending bridge posture, Tang Luo wanted to back away from the faces, but his arms were grabbed. Xu LaoYing and Ji Fu, behaving like addicts, began to pull back his sleeves.
"What the hell are you doing? Have you gone mad?" Tang Luo exclaimed, struggling fiercely. But his body remained still, immobilized from the muscle soreness. The exertion of the spiritual energy left him drained.
To Tang Luo's angry question, Ji Fu and Xu LaoYing responded as if they were deaf. They pulled Tang Luo's sleeves up to his shoulders and stared at his bare
arm.
Observing the precise five silver spiritual motifs, Ji Fu rubbed his eyes, swallowed hard, and said, "This is... unbelievable!"
"Yeah!" Xu LaoYing echoed, asking, "Brother, has anyone in the Han family ever drawn spiritual motifs in such a short time?"
"No!" Ji Fu replied decisively, "The fastest recorded time in the Han family is by Saint Han, who spent all night drawing ten spiritual motifs."
"So, you mean," Xu LaoYing swallowed hard and continued, "our cousin's achievement in the Undying Battle Body might surpass Saint Han?"
"Not necessarily!" Ji Fu stubbornly responded, "Saint Han's body is spiritually talented. Nobody can surpass his control over spiritual energy. Although your cousin is extraordinarily talented, I think the third-grade Undying Body is his limit. Getting off to a fast start doesn't necessarily mean going the distance!" Tang Luo, feeling enraged and humiliated, yelled at the two muscular men treating him as if he was invisible, "I swear if you don't let go, I'm going to shout for help!" His body was weak, hands immobilized, even unable to form a spirit seal. He couldn't think of any other way to break free....
When they were done examining the spiritual motifs, they disregarded Tang Luo's arms as if they were old shoes.
"How petty!" Xu LaoYing pouted and let go of Tang Luo's left hand.
Ji Fu let out a cold laugh and let go of Tang Luo's right hand. Both of them sat upright as if nothing had happened.
However, his sleeves rolled to his shoulders reminded Tang Luo of what those two scoundrels had just done.
"You just wait!" Tang Luo threatened, "Once I get the full record of the Undying Battle Body from the treasure house, I'll smash you guys to the ground!"
Since the battle on Martial Saint Mountain, he had been holding a grudge. Unlike other warriors, he couldn't improve his combat skills in battle. Every release of a spirit art would result in a loss of spiritual power. As he progressed, the consumption of spirit arts grew larger and larger.
During his time in the Mortal Realm, he had created the Martial Luo Finger that could execute a kill with just a hundred and fifty points of spiritual consumption. But once he entered the Transcendent Realm, even if he created his seal techniques, each set of seals was composed of three seals, and the lowest spiritual consumption for one seal was a thousand points. How was he supposed to fight like this?
Although he could explode with a secret technique that blasts out over fifty thousand points of spiritual power in one go, the cost of expenditure - a staggering nine thousand points - made him dizzy just thinking about it. The question of how to battle had become a major concern for him.
But now, with the Undying Battle Body, everything was different. He was carving out a different path - pure close combat.
Tang Luo drew a conclusion from observing the battle between Xu LaoYing and Ji Fu. The Battle Edge Tactics, combined with a high-grade Undying Battle Body, held unparalleled advantage in close combat. The problem was that Ji Fu's movements were average, unable to pin down Xu LaoYing, who managed to display his superb sword technique.
But Tang Luo, who possessed the Blink Step - a technique that allowed near- instantaneous movement for just over a hundred points of spiritual consumption in a ten-meter radius, and could be used consecutively - was different. In future battles, once he closed in on his opponent within ten meters with his Undying Battle Body, the outcome of life and death wouldn't be dictated by others. He dared not imagine how terrifying a higher-grade Undying Battle Body would be, which could achieve the Power of the Dragon Elephant.
The long-lost 'Getting Stronger Notebook' had made its appearance again. Tang
Luo began to rethink his path of martial arts.
Xu LaoYing saw the determination in Tang Luo's threat and hurriedly tried to appease him, "Hey, we're brothers!"

Humph!" Tang Luo snorted disdainfully, "I won't stoop to your
level. We've decided on the
distribution of the treasure vault. The original copies of the Han family's main lineage techniques and secret arts, along with half of the treasure vault's resources, will go to Ji Fu. The copied versions of the main lineage techniques and secret arts, along with the remaining half of the resources, will go to the Tang family.
You can have a copy of the secret arts. Any problems now?" The content is on Novelxo.org! Read

"No issues!" Xu LaoYing answered with a happy smile, very satisfied.
"I have an issue..." Ji Fu cleared his throat and spoke.

"Huh? Don't think that I will compromise just because you have
taken him as your sworn brother. Let me tell you Tang Luo, raising his eyebrows, proclaimed: "This distribution is my bottom line. Should
you desire more, I will take back even that small portion!" The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

No, no, that's not it!" Ji Fu blushed, "I was wondering, are you married?"
"What??" Tang Luo was taken aback.

"Cough, you see..." Ji Fu bit his lip,
gathered courage and then spoke hurriedly, "Since you've already m practiced the Undying Battle Body, our connection with the Han family can no longer be denied. Why not
deepen our bonds? I have a cousin who is charming and beautiful..." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
"Stop, stop!" Tang Luo's eyes widened in astonishment at the turn of events. He
took a moment to process what was happening. Was Ji Fu suggesting a marital
alliance?
"Are you okay, Prince Ji? Not too long ago we were ready to fight to the death,
barely sitting down to discuss things. You're now offering your sister in marriage. This doesn't sound good."
Blushing, Ji Fu added stubbornly, "We're all experienced members of these martial circles. There isn't any grudge that can't be resolved!" "Exactly, exactly!" On the side, Xu LaoYing laughed and chimed in, "The
descendant of Saint Han, and moreover someone of extraordinary beauty. Cousin, you should accept quickly.. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy such a
blessing!"
