I Can See Your Combat Power-Chapter 1378 - 669: A Battle of Equals

’How is this possible! What kind of monster is this, that even rainbow power can’t harm?’

The man who unleashed the rainbow power had a smug smile on his face that froze before it could fully form, gazing at Tang Luo who swiftly stabilized his figure in the void, unharmed, his eyes almost popping out.

The Innate Dao Body was so resilient; how could he continue to fight? 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

As despair grew in his heart, the giant slowly turned around, spitting out a mouthful of blood with eyes full of fear: "Such a fierce technique, able to shock my Dao body. May I ask for your name?"

Did I injure Tang Luo? Did I injure Tang Luo!?

Indeed, I am strong, I am really strong!

Clutching a Spirit Art, the middle-aged man suddenly felt boundless confidence, puffing out his chest and proudly declared: "Chengzhou, Ning Zhiyuan!"

"Ning Zhiyuan, truly a formidable opponent, it seems I must get serious!"

Tang Luo whispered, and although the whisper was soft, the warriors of the Fierce Realm, with their keen senses, could not fail to hear.

Being treated so seriously by Longxi’s Pride, Ning Zhiyuan felt a surge of elation, yet his face remained calm, as he conjured another rainbow light, forcing indifference: "Tang Tianjiao, be careful, Ning is attacking now!"

"I am eager to witness your superb skill!"

Tang Luo’s gaze was solemn, his tone sincere, as if he was facing an Honored King.

Yun Xiu, who hadn’t gone far, turned her back to the stage, rolled her eyes silently, and quickly left.

Not the only one unable to watch directly was also an Arbitrator near the stage, who also turned his head away in embarrassment.

Only Ning Zhiyuan, still feeling invincible, launched a frenzied Spirit Art attack toward Tang Luo, who treated the matter with utmost seriousness.

This was a heartbreaking cycle of tragedy. In Chengzhou, Ning Family’s Martial Ancestor Zhiyuan was the fifth victim.

Yun Ling, who left Zone Jiajiu first, reached Zone Jialiu first, just as Tang Bin also finished his three rounds of competition for the day.

Both scored three victories with zero defeats, and judging from his state, it seemed he had not faced any challenges.

"Young Master Yun."

"Old Instructor."

Tang Bin greeted Yun Ling with a smile and joked, "Did Young Master Yun just come from Zone Jiajiu?"

"Yes, just checking on everyone’s progress."

"How are Meng Jiao and Xiao Ziyu doing?"

"I was just about to go there..."

"Hmm... let’s go together then."

The two set off together towards Zones Jiaer and Jiasan.

Actual combat is the best test of one’s capabilities, and precisely speaking, this champion’s challenge was the first practical application of the Supreme Divine Soul.

If Yun Xiu’s individual participation could not be considered representative enough, then Tang Bin was even more universally applicable.

Both being part of the god-making project, they naturally had much to discuss about the efficacy of the spiritual attachment.

Of course, most of the discussion was initiated by Tang Bin, as Yun Xiu possessed the Charming Eyes, making the task of subduing spirits much easier, thus hardly representative.

"To amplify Spirit Art with the Supreme Divine Soul, mental strength alone is not enough; strong control over the spiritual power is also necessary."

"Besides, the more complex the model of Spiritual Power, the higher the demand for mental strength and control ability, and the lower the error tolerance,"

"Take the Tang Clan’s two unique skills, Sky-picking Hand and Extreme Mang Finger, for example. The Sky-picking Hand, enhanced by the Supreme Divine Soul, is strong externally but severe internally, condensing controllable Spiritual Power into a golden palm that’s capable of both attack and defense, but it demands extremely high mental strength and control ability. When it’s deployed, it’s like a child wielding a heavy hammer; even with Spiritual Power links, control is significantly delayed."

"This situation occurs with defensive Spirit Arts as well, where the mental strength consumed by defensive techniques is several times more than that by offensive techniques. Is this situation only happening to me?"

"I experience the same thing,"

Yun Ling replied via telepathy, "The consumption of defensive Spirit Arts is several times that of offensive ones. Let’s ask Tang Luo after his match is over."

"Hmm? Has he encountered a tough opponent, or why hasn’t it ended?"

Tang Bin puzzled, "That shouldn’t be the case; it’s only the second round. Is his luck really that bad? He was also the slowest yesterday."

"...His fighting style is a bit different from ours."

Timidly making an excuse for her man, Yun Ling then said, "Let’s go check on Meng Jiao and Xiao Ziyu."

Just as Tang Bin had said, it was only the second round; it was unlikely that Longxi’s Pride would face any difficult opponents.

So, when they arrived at Zone Jiasan, Xiao Ziyu had already finished his fight for the day, and upon meeting, they went looking for Meng Jiao in Zone Jiaer."

All four were progressing with three wins and no losses. Instead, it was their team leader, Tang Luo, whose second match hadn’t even finished."

Out of curiosity, Xiao Ziyu asked the same question as Tang Bin. Upon learning that Tang Luo was using the ring as a testing ground and treating his opponent as a trial object, they could only be impressed."

"Alright." Xiao Ziyu sighed, "It looks like we’re in for a longer wait today."

After the first day’s three rounds of intense competition, every warrior showed some merit."

Given Tang Luo’s experimental nature, his bouts would only get slower, and as teammates, they naturally would have to wait longer and longer."

Meng Jiao was a Marshal Star from Marshal Star Pavilion, Tang Bin was a clan elder, and Yun Xiu was Tang Luo’s wife; these three naturally had no issues waiting. But Xiao Ziyu felt differently."

"Actually, there’s no need to just sit around waiting."

Understanding Tang Luo’s nature of not liking to trouble others, Yun Ling took the initiative for her husband, "We’ve come all the way to Kunwu County, just as the team leader said, wouldn’t it be a shame not to explore around a bit?"

"Young Master Yun speaks wisely."

Xiao Ziyu nodded in agreement, "I’ve heard that there’s an annual calligraphy conference in Kunwu County, gathering masters all year around. I plan to take a look and even bring back some authentic master works! Would you care to join me?"

"Young Master Xiao, please feel free," Tang Bin waved his hand in refusal, "I am but a straightforward man, unversed in painting and calligraphy. However, I’ve heard that Kunwu is currently circulating a selective album that lists all the notable masters of this tournament, so I plan to purchase one from the Wind Media Organization."

"Why buy that thing?" Xiao Ziyu was puzzled, "Didn’t Tang Luo say he would handle that?"

"The information Tang Luo compiles is for combat, while I merely wish to try and recruit a few masters to return with me," Tang Bin said, rubbing his hands together eagerly. "This tournament gathers thousands from Fierce Realm, all capable of making a name for themselves. Even the least of them would have Martial Ancestor Level strength. One or two might not be impressive, but when gathered together, they form an immensely powerful force. As a scion of a noble family yourself, don’t you also wish to recruit a few loyal followers?"

"A mere mob, what does it matter how many there are?"

Xiao Ziyu scoffed, "Since Mister Tang is uninterested, this young master will go alone."

"Young Master Xiao, do as you please."

As the fair-faced Yun Ling seemed to be one of Tang Luo’s forbidden subjects, he naturally wouldn’t be invited."

Since Meng Jiao was Tang Luo’s subordinate and Xiao Ziyu didn’t regard him as an equal, once Tang Bin declined, he calmly left."
