Chapter 704: Chapter 700: The New Pride of Longxi

The confrontation between the twins of the Tang Clan ended before it began due to one side’s proactive retreat. It is undeniable that Tang Luo’s display of “weakness” both excited and impressed those who supported Tang Yao.

However, many families were deeply disappointed in Tang Luo. They felt that the man who was once considered the first among Xiling to transcend from the Mortal Realm had not lived up to his reputation. In the martial city of Longzhou, defeat before battle is the greatest humiliation, and by avoiding conflict, he was effectively admitting defeat. To many, Tang Luo’s retreat was an indication of his inferiority to Tang Yao.

Since Tang Luo was not useful, many families redirected their resources to support Tang Yao of Qutang City. There was no longer any controversy over who the next Young Clan Chief would be, which was, in fact, welcome news for some families with ulterior motives.

And so, time passed. Tang Luo, who was in seclusion on Aran Mountain, gradually faded from people’s view, whilst Tang Yao shone brightly like the sun at high noon.

No one would deliberately bring up a “loser”, thus the noble families of the Longxi Alliance subconsciously forgot about Tang Luo. With the emergence of many outstanding young individuals, Tang Luo seemed to have become a distant name in their memories.

Until the first day of June in 1782.

At thirteen, Tang Xing broke through the Mortal Realm, creating a sensation across the Longxi New Alliance. This news, like on wings, spread overnight throughout the six cities of Lingjiang.

He was praised as a prodigy, the star of the future, a peerless talent, and the best in Longxi.

Any exaggerated compliments were worth using on such a character. The June of the year 82 belonged to Tang Xing alone. After breaking through the Mortal Realm at the age of thirteen, he didn’t rest on his laurels. Instead, he went to the Martial Hall in Qutang City for friendly exchanges with warriors from various families.

Through his Wuduo Twin Dragons and Nameless Fire, the young talent overcame a countless number of warriors in the Qutang City Martial Arts Hall, despite his early stage in the transition. When the Martial Ancestors from the Fierce Realm saw this, they were shocked. Traditional Martial Ancestors could not consider themselves as an opponent.

The Chief Instructor, Tang Yao, became gloomy. The Wuduo Twin Dragons, a secret technique of the Tang Clan’s Mortal Realm, possessed the terrifying power to cross realms. Seeing Tang Xing using it so effortlessly was not something a mere Mortal Realm cultivator could resist. Let alone the strange self-igniting Spiritual Fire technique, each fight began with the Nameless Fire, followed closely by a Wuduo Finger.

To extinguish the Spiritual Fire on one’s body, they need to condense all their spiritual power into their Sea of Qi. However, to resist the Wuduo Twin Dragons, they need to use a substantial amount of their spiritual power and have to block using protective arts or Spirit Arts. A Mortal Realm cultivator’s physique could not withstand the onslaught of the Wuduo Twin Dragons. Even a Peak Mortal Realm cultivator would only last for a few dozen breaths under the heat of the Nameless Fire. Yet, during this time, Tang Xing would have thrown out dozens of Wuduo Fingers without rest.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Tang Xing lived up to his name as a prodigy of the Mortal Realm at the age of thirteen. Picking on ordinary warriors didn’t seem like a big deal. But the instructors watching the trial from the Martial Hall all wore grim expressions.

The young lad, who had defeated Qutang City Martial Hall in a series of battles, crossed his arms, swept his condescending gaze over the gloomy-faced instructors before turning his head toward the Chief Instructor, Tang Yao, and asked, “Are these the Mortal Realm fighters you’ve trained? With this level of instruction, do you even dare to compare yourself to my brother?”

What was supposed to be a friendly match turned sour with Tang Xing’s words. The instructors of Qutang City now understood why Tang Xing did not challenge the cultivators from the Lanshan City Martial Arts Hall, which was much closer. He had instead traveled hundreds of miles to Qutang City to find opponents. It turns out, the recently acclaimed prodigy had come to speak up for his older brother.

Only then did everyone remember Tang Luo, the prodigy of the Tang Clan, who had disappeared for a year. If they remembered correctly, Tang Luo had also broken through the Mortal Realm at the age of thirteen…

The twin prodigies, with their father as the First Head of the Tang Martial Arts Hall, had an undisputed reputation. Looking at the younger brother’s tactics, it was clear that the older brother, who had been the first prodigy of Xiling, was not any less impressive. Could such a person willingly accept defeat without a fight?

Looking at the disdainful Tang Xing and the injured people scattered on the ground, people suddenly interpreted that incident in a different light.

Tang Xing, who had successfully made a name for himself, left in a leisurely manner. The young lad, feeling as if he had accomplished a great feat, left with a spring in his step.

It was the Nameless Fire that allowed him to effortlessly defeat the people of Qutang City. This sophisticated and wild Spirit Art was indeed Tang Luo’s unique secret technique, and in his brother’s words:

“Out of the young spirits in the Mortal Realm, there are basically none who can withstand the Nameless Fire with their physical bodies. You can begin with the Nameless Fire before following up with the brutal attack of the Wuduo Finger. Don’t give the opponent a chance to retract their spiritual power to extinguish the Spiritual Fire. Unless there is a particularly amazing secret technique that can reverse the situation, even a Peak Mortal Realm is not your opponent.”

Tang Xing recalled his brother’s calm statement, as though the Mortal Realm cultivators of this world were mere ants. The skeptical young lad then challenged a few of the Mortal Realm cultivators in Beishan. The results were exactly as Tang Luo had said. Even the cultivators from their sect who also practiced the Wuduo Finger technique were not his match.

With a single exquisite move, Tang Xing established his unbeatable belief in martial arts through a series of victories. All thanks to the Spirit Art and guidance passed down by his older brother.

Every time students from Beishan speak of the now-popular Tang Yao, he would scoff quietly, feeling that the other party has no right to compare with his brother.

After defeating a direct descendant of Beishan who had reached the peak of Mortal Realm but had not yet attained unity of spirit and intent, Tang Xing couldn’t resist going to challenge the Qutang City Martial Hall. As his brother had predicted, the Nameless Fire became an inescapable nightmare for the students of the Qutang City Martial Hall, and thus he gained the title of the “Spiritual Fire Pride”.

An excited Tang Xing immediately returned to Aran Mountain, where Tang Luo was in seclusion. He eagerly bounced around his older brother who was quietly sitting on the peak of the mountain, excitedly boasting about his feat in Qutang City: “Brother, you should have seen it! I attached a Nameless Fire to him, and the one claiming to be the top of the martial arts hall was a flustered mess. Then I attacked him with the Wuduo Finger, not giving him a chance to retract his spiritual power to extinguish the Spiritual Fire. In just a few breaths, that Peak Mortal Realm cultivator was knocked to the ground by me. If not for the fact that he is from our martial arts hall, I would have let him get burned alive by the Spiritual Fire!”

“If the Nameless Fire fails, are you confident that you can defeat the top fighter of the martial arts hall?” Tang Luo asked in a disinterested voice, causing the excessively excited Tang Xing to fall silent instantly.

Of course, Tang Luo could understand the young lad’s excitement, but the lad had ostensibly gone from one extreme to another. Now, the little guy simply looked down on all other Mortal Realm cultivators, thinking that the combination of Nameless Fire and the Wuduo Finger technique could crush all others in the realm. But with a world so big and full of capable people, and the existence of bloodline abilities that can resist Spiritual Fire, Tang Luo found it necessary to bring the overly excited lad back down to earth with a bucket of cold water.
