I Can See Your Combat Power-Chapter 547: 543: Emotions Don’t Make Things Happen

Chapter 547 -543: Emotions Don’t Make Things Happen

For most ordinary people, they could only remember who ranked first, and only had a vague impression of the second place.

Even if the skill level between the first and second place was not much different.

So when they knew that the terrifying old man was actually Miyang, disappointment no longer clouded their hearts, because being defeated by the former first of Xiling was only to be expected.

What truly inspired them was the news announced by Tang Luo: their clan leader had actually severed the arms of the former strongest in Xiling.

Although the opponent was over 120 years old, this meant that they had bet on the right person, considering that Tang Luo was just fifteen years old this year.

If he were given another thirty years, they had no idea how far he would progress. Even though they were destined not to surpass Miyang, as long as their clan leader was the strongest in Xiling, they would not feel any despair.

Just like the warriors of the Xiao family in recent years, who were arrogant no matter where they went, mainly because Xiao Jinlin had secured the identity of the strongest in Xiling over these years.

Thinking that they might become close ministers to the future strongest in Xiling, they couldn’t think of any other way to express their deep joy other than cheering.

Some followers even stripped off their uniforms and waved them around, wildly ecstatic.

Looking at the celebrating followers in front of him, Tang Luo nodded in satisfaction. This was the reaction he had expected.

What really caused the most serious damage to Miyang was not Du Sha’s Nine Radiant Extreme Sun, nor was it his father Tang Sen’s suppression with divine power, but his hand filled with the Innate Qi of Earth.

Although Miyang had regrown his limbs using the unique characteristics of the Divine Wood bloodline, strictly speaking, they were more like vines, rather than arms. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Although Miyang, whose bodily skills were largely dependent on his fists, managed to form a set of artificial limbs with the vines, his original arms, now solidified into wooden dragons, had no chance of being restored. Victory or defeat between strong individuals was always decided by a hair’s breadth.

Having lost his original arms, Miyang had almost withdrawn from the ranks of the strongest in Xiling. In other words, any future confrontation on the battlefield would see Tang Sen overpowering the supreme Mi Clan. The legendary warrior of Xiling, who has been renowned for a hundred years, could now only act as a meat shield by transforming into a divine willow. His combat strength had reduced by at least 30%.

Despite Tang Qian’s severe injury, he was virtually unharmed due to the protection of his spiritual armor. As for Du Sha, as long as the Thousand Year Immortality Flower was in place, he could turn calamity into a blessing. While many martial followers died in this attack, from a short-term perspective, it could be considered profitable.

After all, whether the Mi Clan had any ways to weaken Tang Sen or not, regardless of the loss of hundreds of martial followers, or even the loss of hundreds of Transformed squads, they wouldn’t hesitate.

Especially in the tense moment when a great battle is imminent, the quantity of top-ranking strong individuals directly determines the state of the battlefield. After all, their main base is right there, and there are times when they must fight to the death, even if the Xuanji Jade is available in plentiful.

Originally, he only wanted to participate in the big fight by using the Innate Qi Arrow. Unexpectedly, he has made such a significant contribution. Thinking about it, he was a little excited.

“Okay, quiet down everyone.” Tang Luo waved his hand to quiet the cheering followers and announced again, “Because I severed Miyang’s arms, the Mi Clan will definitely not let it go. Or else, my continued presence in Red Cloud Mountain would only turn it into a battlefield. Later, I will take the warship of the Divine Martial Guard of the Tang family back to North Mountain. Therefore, I can no longer continue to distribute martial artists above the inner viewing realm.”

The movement at the North Mountain could not be concealed from the people. Everybody knew the three destinies of the martial followers. The worst was to become an apprentice with a daily food ration of one catty, while the best treatment was almost that of a wealthy son, with meat at every meal, and spiritual food.

What was even more tempting was that the highest-grade Marshal Star Pavilion seemed to have no cultivation standards. Many martial artists were aiming to enter there and enjoy the treatment of a son of the nobility. This matter directly affects their personal interests. As soon as they heard that the distribution was going to stop, the crowd again begged Tang Luo for mercy, yelling for their fathers and mothers. After all, the relief food treatment had been cancelled. They were all warriors, how could they do rough jobs like bricklaying and carpentry?

“Let me finish.” Tang Luo frowned slightly and continued, “In consideration of your merit in reinforcement, I will give you two choices before I leave. One is to place you as apprentices at various construction sites, and the other is to follow me back to North Mountain.”

“What’s the difference between the two?” A tall and thin follower asked.

Tang Luo glanced at him. The questioner was a Transformed martial artist with a spiritual power of 4742. Considering such a person would not be content with an apprentice’s salary, he must have voiced his thoughts, and Tang Luo felt it necessary to explain the difference to the crowd, “There is not much to say about being an apprentice at the construction site. However, for those who decide to follow me back to North Mountain, I will conduct a one-on-one screening. Perhaps some of you might be able to join the Marshal Star Pavilion. As for those who don’t make it, I will place you in the martial arts schools in North Mountain to practice, with the same benefits as an apprentice.”

The Tang family is most famous in Xiling for its dozens of martial arts schools. As the external trainers sent by the Tang family are no lower than the peak of the Transformed realm, and some of the major schools even have strong fighters from the Fierce Realm, which is why the Tang family’s martial arts schools are known as the cradle of the strong.

As for the reason for the different treatments, Tang Luo also had his considerations. Naturally, he believed that not all martial followers were present today, but these people still came, even though they knew their enemy was a Fierce Realm powerhouse.

The difference between a smart person and a fool is that one knows how to protect one’s self-interest, while the other advances recklessly. For those in higher positions, cultivating those who advance recklessly brings more benefits than those who know how to protect their self-interests. This is why Tang Luo didn’t punish these people, and even wanted to reward them to some extent.

Even if these people were good for nothing other than making trouble, he gave them the excuse of meritorious support, thus offsetting their mistakes.

Because only by protecting this group of reckless and dedicated people, will you have people to charge for you when you need to fight bloodily.

The saying “The merciful cannot command the troops, and the sentimental cannot make decisions” applies here. Even if Tang Luo was upset, he had to deal with it this way.

Because ordinary people don’t care if these people are useful or not, they will simply understand that these people have rushed to save their clan leader, and when the clan leader recovers, they counter-intuitively punish them for disrespecting the order. Once others saw this, who would dare to risk their lives for you?

After hearing Tang Luo’s announcement, the followers erupted in cheers again. For many of them, being able to continuously practice martial arts was a great fortune. Not to mention being able to join the martial arts schools of the Tang family. Even the disciples who normally practice martial skills pay school fees of several hundred gold because the tutors are strong martial artists who have been immersed in the peak of the Transformed realm for decades. They never expected that they would have the opportunity to study in the martial arts schools one day. There is no reason to hesitate at all.

For a while, the crowd was very excited, and except for some followers who had family members still in Red Cloud Mountain and needed to be cared for, most of the others chose to follow Tang Luo to North Mountain to fight for a career.
