Chapter 711: Chapter 5: Iron head kid
Who would have thought that the iron body bloodline would meld so perfectly with the Undying Battle Body, undergoing extraordinary changes upon unlocking the top five Viscera Divine Treasures?
Such a perfect integration of the bloodline power and secret art made Tang Qingshan’s Undying Battle Body distinct from all others. The Undying Battle Body, after merging with the iron body bloodline, not only greatly enhanced the intensity of spiritual power defense but also exhibited a terrifying improvement in physical defense strength. Strength, speed, and flexibility all increased dramatically, and he even directly comprehended the scope of an iron body’s physical realm.
Tang Luo watched as Tang Qingshan turned into a man made of iron and nodded. He could understand why the other party believed they could take a punch from him—the defense of Tang Qingshan at this time had almost reached the pinnacle of the Mortal Realm. His Iron Titan form was hardly less inferior compared to his own Heaven-gifted Divine Armor. Moreover, there wasn’t much change in Tang Qingshan’s physique, making him smaller in terms of the range of Spirit Art attacks. If strength alone was to be compared, perhaps Tang Qingshan could withstand more attacks than his Iron Titan body.
Indeed, the Iron Titan Body has a well-deserved reputation. However, what Tang Luo currently possessed was even more exaggerated.
Over these two years, nurtured by Innate Qi and aided by physical enhancement elixirs, Tang Luo not only completed the fourth rank of the Undying Battle Body, marked by ten lines carved on his back, but also awakened a new divine ability.
Usually, the fourth rank would grant a warrior divine power to dominate others and further strengthen their physical body to the Burdened Mountain Body level. But Tang Luo made this rank of the Undying Body undergo another remarkable change.
If the originally dominating power was the offspring of a dragon, with a fourth-rank Undying Body, a martial artist could wrestle with giant dragons. Then Tang Luo felt that he probably cultivated the Xuanwu Body, a tortoise that could easily overpower a dragon. After all, the Mysterious Serpent Phantom he exhibited was much stronger than the Heavenly Dragon’s Shadow. Claiming himself to be a dominator seemed to be a bit unreasonable.
From the Five Viscera Divine Treasures, when Central Earth gives birth to metal, Tang Luo’s lungs had turned into Yin-Yang Wheels, continuously supplying Innate Qi of pure gold. His exhalation had completely transformed into inhalation. Now he could survive without relying on air and spiritual power for survival. The combination of the Void Stomach and Yin-Yang Grinding allowed him to devour any material to sustain his life force.
He could transform into a giant of more than ten meters, which was bigger than the average monstrous beast. Luckily, when he was not activating his Undying Battle Body, his handsome appearance and slender body did not evolve again. This was one piece of good news.
Tang Luo had also made some progress in his research on the black spherical divine soul within his body. Hence, he felt it was time to get a glimpse of the outside world. Just as Martial Saint Mountain sent this invitation, how could he let the captain’s position go? If he had not been too afraid to shock the world, he would have wanted to display his level of cultivation and take on the responsibility of a leader.
But now, he first had to deal with this glowing greenhorn. Tang Luo shook his head, walked straight up, and grabbed Tang Qingshan’s right arm.
As his fingers clenched tight, the muscular arm that resembled iron emitted a grinding sound. Tang Luo asked with a smiling face, “Does it hurt?”
“No!” Tang Qingshan replied without any change in his expression.
As his voice fell, he tightened his grip again. The steel-like muscles were squeezing the bone. The strength of the iron body seemed ineffective against his force, as powerful as a steel knife.
“What about now, does it hurt?” Tang Luo still kept his smiling face.
“No… No!” Tang Qingshan bit his teeth. If this was the extent of the pain, he could bear it for a day!
“Oh? Impressive.” Tang Luo made a compliment, then tightened his grip again, causing Tang Qingshan to go blank for a moment.
Because his steel body was… being crushed!
The force that Tang Luo put on his right arm actually exceeded the limit of the steel body, with only the power of the Undying Battle Body left struggling to hold on. The muscular structure, originally as strong as steel, turned as weak as dough against this wild and aimless strength after losing the support of the bloodline power.
The bulky upper arm of Tang Qingshan that needed several hands to grip exploded when the iron body was broken, unable to withstand the immense power of Tang Luo’s palm squeezed together. The flesh and blood had nowhere else to go but to burst out from his fingers, splashing all over the place.
Just like soft dough, Tang Qingshan, who owned the Iron Titan Body, had almost no resistance in Tang Luo’s hands, and people had no doubt that if his fingers continued closing, Tang Luo could easily break Tang Qingshan’s arm bone.
After years without seeing each other, Tang Luo’s combat power had become more terrifying. Back when he switched to physical cultivation, none of the elders had hope for him. After all, in everyone’s view, a martial artist who could match the comprehension of the Earth Spirit Body should focus on cultivating Spirit Art, especially a top-level genius who did not need to recuperate and could single-handedly perform a combination strike. It was absolutely pointless to abandon spiritual cultivation.
But Tang Luo, who had switched to the practice of the Undying Battle Body, continually surprised people. That kind of combat power, which could almost be considered as transcending boundaries, continually shocked everyone. The things displayed by this young man in his early twenties were almost comparable to those legendary ancestors in ancient texts who could tear apart monstrous beasts with their bare hands.
There was both joy and worry—happiness for the several years of unrestrained rearings not being a waste of the clan’s pride, worry for the two prodigies of the family clashing right after coming out from hiding, with one of them at risk of losing an arm.
Even though Third Elder felt quite irritated by his own nephew, the older generation would never hold grudges against the younger ones. Seeing Tang Qingshan’s arm exploding, the anger of Third Elder was thrown out to the outer edges of the sky, leaving only worry in his eyes.
Even though his arm was shattered, the rigid martial artist remained expressionless, not even moaning in pain, as if he had lost all sensation of pain, as if the flesh and blood exploded all over the ground did not belong to him.
“Hey, this doesn’t hurt either?”
The response to his third inquiry was Tang Qingshan’s cold smile, as if mocking.
The situation right now was pretty awkward, and I can’t stand to lose face! Who can tell me how to end this properly?
Tang Luo was taken aback. This guy was not a greenhorn but a hard-shelled youngster!
He originally thought that by having Tang Qingshan feel his penetrating strength, the latter would admit defeat. Who knew that he would grit his teeth and bear it all using his Iron Body. Left with no choice, Tang Luo had to employ the Heavenly Dragon and Mysterious Snake for two power-ups, practically using all his strength, only to realize that even when the latter’s arm was squeezed to the point of bursting, he would not utter a sound.
What do I do now? Tang Luo, who seized Tang Qingshan’s arm bone, was actually at a loss on how to further proceed. With the coordination of Heavenly Dragon and Mysterious Snake power-ups, he could only come this far.
As for dealing with a youngster who has about twenty thousand points of spiritual power, he couldn’t possibly continue to play hard and kill him with one palm strike in his giant form, right?
Tang Luo looked somewhat desperate. He felt that grabbing the arm was a bad move. From the start, he should have gone all out and just knocked him out cold. At least that would have prevented this current embarrassment—losing face.
Under the fierce gaze of the elders in the hall, Tang Luo could only let go of his hand and say helplessly, “I really can’t do anything about you…”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
This truly proved that only a hard-shelled youngster could be the ultimate killer of pretentious people. Here he was, thinking that with his current power, the world was his stage. Little did he know that he would fail as soon as he started. This script was indeed not friendly towards him at all.
As Minister Luo loosened his grip, the flesh and blood that was squeezed to the limit sprung back. Tang Qingshan looked at him mysteriously, not knowing why Tang Luo had stopped applying force. He had already mentally prepared himself for the possibility of losing his arm.
