I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 518: Chapter Five Hundred Fourteen: Battle Genius

Some warriors who were familiar with Tang Luo’s style, silently retreated a few steps and widened their distance from Wu Tianliang, fearing splatter of blood on them.

They had all witnessed the battle with Jiang Lin, where a warrior, known as the unbeatable in the Mortal Realm, was beaten to a pulp in an instant. The invisible Heavenly Dragon’s Shadow had become a hot topic of discussion among the people of Xiling.

Wu Tianliang felt a chill owing to the retreating footsteps behind him. His scalp was numb and looking at Tang Luo’s expressionless face, he felt a dryness in his throat.

“What am I doing?!” Wu Tianliang thought he had gone mad. He suddenly recalled Yue Daoyan, who had been beaten to a pulp a few days ago, and felt that he had done something incredibly stupid.

Tang Luo stared blankly at the warrior in front of him, whose spiritual power was less than four thousand. He wasn’t annoyed by the disrespectful comments. Instead, he suddenly felt there was some truth to them.

The strength of a warrior was not only determined by their talent, but also by their combat abilities. With the same talent, the same environment, and the same level of training, there could still be differences in strength among warriors.

Tang Luo had no doubt that he could defeat all the talented individuals using his eyes that could see spiritual power levels. But what if he met a combat prodigy with ordinary talent? Would he miss out on them simply because of their mediocre talent?

This Wu Tianliang, just entering the Mortal Realm, managed to make a big name for himself in East City with only three thousand five hundred points of spiritual power. Perhaps he really had some extraordinary abilities.

Looking at Wu Tianliang, who was trembling slightly with terror, Tang Luo touched his chin and said, “I think what you said makes some sense.”

Really? Truly?” The sudden good news almost brought Wu Tianliang to his knees. He couldn’t believe he was hearing this sentence, it felt like a beacon of light in the darkness.

Was he about to reach the peak of his life? So thought the ‘Ice-cold King’. Ignoring the immersed Wu Tianliang, Tang Luo turned west and shouted to the team stuffing their faces there, “Any warrior in the Mortal Realm over there, come over!”

Actually, the disturbance of the eastern team retreating had already caught the attention of the western team. They didn’t want to get involved in the warriors’ quarrel and were enjoying their bread.

When they suddenly heard Tang Luo’s shout, they raised their heads, and their eyeballs almost popped out of shock.

Several members of the Righteous Gang who heard the call threw the food baskets in their hands and rushed towards the east. Their spirited appearances and elegant steps left the crowd astounded.

Tang Luo had just thrown out a casual call and didn’t expect the Righteous Gang members distributing the food to respond so enthusiastically. They even used the Clear Foe Illuminating Step from the ‘Great Righteous Energy Technique’.

“Were… Were… Weren’t those the ones we just called over to eat?” Seeing these men’s movements, the western warriors felt something stuck in their throats, which was hard to swallow.

In just a few breaths’ time, the members of the Righteous Gang in the Mortal Realm had covered hundreds of meters. They gathered in front of Tang Luo, knelt on the ground, and shouted in unison, “Waiting for the leader’s command!”

That uniform shout and sharp energy frightened everyone on the eastern side to take another step back, causing a commotion in the crowd.

In just half a year, these vagabond warriors from the Righteous Gang seemed to have begun leaning towards being clan warriors. Tang Luo was very pleased with this development: “You may all rise.”

Tang Luo looked at several dozens of Mortal Realm warriors and spoke to a young man with a measurement of 3,100 in spiritual power, “That lad, yes, you. Come forward, everyone else can go back.”

The young man who was called pointed to his nose in disbelief, repeatedly asking, “Me? Me?”

“Yes, you.” Tang Luo laughed, pat him on the shoulder to put him at ease, and asked, “What is your name?”

“My surname is Wu, given name is Mi,” the young man answered subconsciously, seemingly dazed.

Wu Mi? Interesting name. How long have you entered the Mortal Realm?”

After complimenting his name, Tang Luo continued to ask.

“I’ve entered the Mortal Realm three months ago.” Wu Mi excitedly said, not expecting that out of all the brothers with greater skill than him in the Righteous Gang, he would be the one chosen. It felt incredibly lucky.

Although he didn’t know why Tang Luo had chosen him, ever since he found out that the boss behind the Righteous Gang was the renowned Tang Luo – the creator of the ‘Great Righteous Energy Technique’, young Wu Mi had idolized him. Nothing would scare such an ardent fan.

“Hmm, not bad.” Tang Luo turned his head and called, “Wu Tianliang.”

The warrior whose name was unexpectedly called suddenly shook, and subconsciously replied, “Present!”

“You wanted the same treatment as Jin San Zhua, didn’t you?” Tang Luo asked and then stated directly, “As long as you can defeat Wu Mi, I will meet your demands, admit you into Marshal Star Pavilion, and you can have spiritual food and meat with every meal!”

“Is the leader being serious?” Wu Tianliang’s face lit up with joy, and he confirmed again. It wasn’t until he saw Tang Luo nod that he laughed, “If that’s the case, don’t blame me for the bully. Young man, please!”

“Wait.” Tang Luo looked speechlessly at the pair who wanted to start to fight immediately, pointed to an open space in the east, and said to them, “You two go fight over there. There are other people here.”

Driving the two braggarts to the side, Tang Luo had to continue looking for talents. To be honest, he was not interested in watching two warriors at the beginning of the Mortal Realm fight each other.

Perhaps for most people, it took careful observation to see the ingenious moves of some warriors. To a martial arts researcher, there was only one standard for a combat genius.

Only those who can use low-rank martial arts to defeat superior ones can be called combat geniuses.

Both civilian and vagabond warriors shared a common characteristic: poverty. They could barely afford to practice a popular martial art and several moves. And due to the attribute of the martial art, they couldn’t fully harness the power of their moves.

Tang Luo didn’t need to watch such level of fighting because no matter what martial arts Wu Tianliang practiced, it could not be stronger than Wu Mi’s martial arts.

Because the ‘Great Righteous Energy Technique’ was created by him, this technique, which combined more than ten yellow-rank martial arts, could be said to be his masterpiece.

With a complete martial art, killing technique, body movement, escape technique, and a secret method, this yellow-rank martial art was a great basis for transforming into a mysterious-rank martial art. Even if Tang Luo didn’t continue his research in the future, this could be entrusted to the Secret Arts Pavilion. Over time, other martial arts researchers could push this martial art to the next level based on his benefits now.

It can be said that the Righteous Gang members who practiced the ‘Great Righteous Energy Technique’ had already equaled the general nobility in terms of martial art superiority. So Wu Tianliang only needed to win against Wu Mi to qualify as a combat genius.

Because so-called combat geniuses must have the power to defeat ordinary nobility. Otherwise, just being proficient in several moves does not amount to genius at best, it’s just mere hard work.

As always, hard work is important, but don’t mistake the results of hard work for talent. Because hard work is just a foundation, there is nothing to be proud of..
