Tang Martial Arts Hall, Secret Arts Pavilion

Once Tang Luo returned to the Secret Arts Pavilion, he quickly summoned all the team members in the research room. This action, no doubt, displeased Tang Guangyu immensely.

“Such a busy leader indeed, we haven’t seen each other for many days, and the first thing you do when you see us is to summon everyone just to show off your authority?” Tang Guangyu said sarcastically. He had not attended the Secret Arts Pavilion Council on the first day of March and had rarely visited the research room since then. While he knew it was because of Ji Fu and the Minor Spiritual Realm treasury, he believed that this couldn’t be an excuse for slacking, hence the sarcastic remark.

Given the silent attitudes of Tang Bokang and Tang Xiangwen, they obviously agreed with Tang Guangyu.

Despite Tang Luo’s lead in research progress, the researchers weren’t impressed with his laid-back attitude.

Instead of trying to defend himself, Tang Luo merely laughed. Due to the Undying Battle Body, he had been refining his martial arts plans. The research group had been pushed to the back of his mind; no wonder these guys were so annoyed.

“I’ve gathered you here to discuss something important.” Tang Luo got straight to the point: “From today onwards, the responsibilities of the group leader for the development and simplification of the inscriptions will be transferred to Tang Guangyu. I will no longer participate in research related to inscriptions.” The group was shocked; Tang Guangyu was even more aggravated as he stood up, pointing at Tang Luo, “Is the reason for you handing over all tasks just because of a couple of words? Are you throwing a childish tantrum! The research on the inscriptions concerns the development and future of the entire Tang Clan, Tang Luo! Don’t you think you are being too impulsive?” “Yes, leader, you are the founder of this set of inscriptions, and you can’t just leave like this.” Tang Bokang’s expression was not pleasant. Although Tang Luo was only fifteen this year, everyone tends to forget his age during official business, thus they often regard him as a peer. His sudden decision was hard for them to accept.

Tang Xiangwen also added, “You can’t leave, leader. Many of the ideas for developing the inscriptions are given by you. I won’t be able to manage without you.”

Although Tang Luo was the youngest among the three, he was undeniably the soul of this team. This was not just because he was the founder of this set of inscriptions, but more due to his unparalleled talent. The most difficult part of martial arts research is the testing process.

Although they developed a new cultivation route, precisely controlling and testing even by these researchers, who were incredibly familiar with the meridians, could sometimes not be managed well due to the arbitrary flow of Spiritual Energy, leading to failure. If Spiritual Energy collides within the meridians, it can even cause self-inflicted injury. This is why martial arts researchers are so respected; they risk their own martial arts future for the development of new martial arts and the application of Spiritual Energy. However, where Tang Luo excels is accurately providing the test results after everyone gives him an idea. Even the differences resulting from different amounts of Spiritual Power transmission could be concluded. This astonishing efficiency is the key reason why they have been able to develop this system to its current level.

If Tang Luo was not present, they didn’t know how much their research speed would slow down. It felt like exchanging the speed of riding a spiritual beast for walking, a significant downgrade.

For Tang Luo, he didn’t gather them there to negotiate or throw a tantrum, but to inform them of his decision, and naturally, he won’t be swayed: “I am not stepping down from what I should do because of a few sarcastic remarks It’s just that these inscriptions are no longer of benefit to me, so I won’t waste my time on them anymore. Giving them to you is not a one-time impulse on my part, but because during our time working together, you have the deepest understanding of these inscriptions, so I hope you can continue to refine them.”

Tang Bokang and Tang Xiangwen looked at each other. Tang Guangyu’s face completely darkened. If Tang Luo had been huffily explaining or countering, they could have considered his proposed task-shifting as a spur-of-the-moment statement. But with Tang Luo’s calm and reasoned argument, his determination made it clear to the others: he was determined to leave the research room.

If Tang Luo had been huffily explaining or countering, they could have considered his proposed task-shifting as a spur-of-the-moment statement. However, Tang Luo’s calm explanation confirmed their fears. He really meant to leave the research room.

Tang Guangyu, aware of the recent tremor within the clan regarding the treasury of the Minor Spiritual Realm, believed that Tang Luo’s resignation from the group leader position was to start practicing the core martial arts of the sacred land a millennium ago. This, in his opinion, was essentially forsaking the fundamentals for the sake of the incidental. Hence, he sternly advised: “Although the starting point of this inscription technique is relatively low, It perfectly matches our clan’s Heavenly Pathway Technique and Tongtian Domination Scroll. As long as we continue to develop it and increase the quantity of basic inscriptions, our Tongtian Domination Scroll will undoubtedly be the most exceptional killing method in the world. The Han Family’s Battle Edge Tactics are merely an antique from a thousand years ago, irrelevant to the amalgamation technique. It’s unwise for you to change cultivation techniques!”

Tang Luo nodded in agreement with Tang Guangyu’s words but did not change his attitude: “I’m not going to change to practicing the Han Family’s cultivation technique. Instead, I want to study and perfect the way of body techniques I will no longer participate in the research involving spirit arts. I can rest assured entrusting the subsequent research of the inscription techniques to you.”

If the Undying Battle Body is a combined technique with the Battle Edge Tactics, deciding whether or not to give up Plan 1.0 of becoming stronger can be a hesitant issue. After all, he not only wants to become stronger himself, but he also wants his clan to become stronger. If he changes the martial arts technique, the spirit arts he will research later might pose difficulties for the Tang Clan.

In Tang Luo’s opinion, the Battle Edge Tactics are not necessarily superior to the Tongtian Domination Scroll of the Tang Clan, at least not at the Mortal Realm and Metamorphic Realm levels. It just appears strong on the attack end because they also have Weapon Mastery Technique, which only seems strong with the support of secret techniques.

Just like the Tongtian Domination Scroll of the Tang Clan could become significantly more powerful if it had a perfectly compatible physical training method since many moves in its palm technique combine Qi and strength, and the greater the strength, the greater the damage.

The Undying Battle Body is theoretically quite compatible with the Tongtian Domination Scroll of the Tang Clan but also faces the same issues. The palm method, known for its wide-open and forceful movements, is essentially a spirit technique with high Spiritual Energy output. Many palm techniques of the Tongtian Domination Scroll would amplify the output of Spiritual Energy over forty percent after the secret method enhances it, limiting the practitioners of the Undying Battle Body to the sixth level, at most, if they don’t want to lower their offensive power.

Putting a forty percent mark of divine runes as defense on an ordinary martial artist’s body doesn’t really count as formidable. Just as Tang Luo envisioned if It was against a martial artist from the first realm, of course, it would be definitely secure. However, when fighting against peer opponents, it just makes him slightly more durable.

However, one thing is for sure. The Undying Battle Body is indeed a superior choice compared to all existing physical training techniques of the Tang Clan. Even if it could only be cultivated to the sixth level, the Qi and strength enhancement of the Undying Battle Body would also elevate the attacking ability of Tang martial artists to another level..
