18 Chapter Fifteen: The Lies of the Clan

Battle Hall’s Scripture Pavilion

The Tang Clan’s scripture pavilion is commissioned from the craft masters of the Ou Clan and constructed beneath the first and second levels of the Martial Hall. Its security level is unparalleled in Xiling.

Over hundreds of years, the opulent families of Xiling have accumulated thousands of martial arts techniques. The warriors who guard the scripture pavilion, being the core of the Tang Clan, must belong to the leader’s lineage and are usually a mixture of a Fierce Realm martial artist and several peak Mortal Realm martial artists.

Most of these guarding elders have retired from their duties in the clan, and when not guarding the Scripture Pavilion, they are in seclusion, practicing to break through to the next realm.

Tang Luo, as a clan member and son of the Battle Hall Sect Head, is familiar with the scripture pavilion. When he was testing the efficacy of the Star Core, he referenced hundreds of cultivation techniques, from the lowest Mortal Rank to the Mystery Rank. In terms of understanding of these skills, he is even comparable to some elderly scholars who have been studying martial techniques for decades.

This time, entering the scripture pavilion, Tang Luo intended to select a new technique for Fang Han.

After a brief few days of contemplation, he had decided to let Fang Han activate the first Star Core. No matter what this well-schemed young man’s purpose was in approaching him, his talent of 1.4 was too tempting for Tang Luo. Among the Tang Clan’s nine training grounds, no one had a higher aptitude than Fang Han.

He also had a plan to win over Fang Han.

“This is the complete version of Star Mystery Technique.” After respectfully saluting the elder guarding the Scripture Pavilion, Tang Luo announced the name of the technique he wished to obtain.

The elder glanced at the teaching permission order in front of him and said indifferently, “This Yellow Rank technique itself is not outstanding, but it is complimented by a killing technique called the Star Innate Blade, which has three moves and is incredibly powerful. So, the contribution required for this Yellow Rank technique is quite substantial, which you don’t have.”

“Of course, I know that, so you see.” Tang Luo, well prepared, placed a few dozens of iron scrolls on the old man’s table, which he had written in advance.

The iron scrolls recorded various martial arts techniques, cultivation tips, and methods to improve flaws – a summary of what Tang Luo had learned from his teaching career over the month. By donating these scrolls back to the Scripture Pavilion in exchange for contribution, he should have more than enough to exchange for the desired techniques.

The old man picked up the scrolls and examined them one by one. He started listlessly, but as time passed, the appreciation in his eyes grew.

Placing the scrolls down, the cold indifference he had initially shown Tang Luo had disappeared, replaced by warmth and expectancy. His age-worn voice rang out, “You researched all of these?”

“Indeed, Elder,” Tang Luo respectfully replied to the old man in front of him. Tang Luo held an immense respect for him, not simply because of his age, but due to the astounding number he represented: 68543. This elder before him was undoubtedly one of the pillars of the Tang Clan.

The old man was called Tang Zhen and despite his disbelief, the kid before him had the ability to pinpoint the flaws within those martial techniques and provide improvements, dramatically increasing their combat utility. Such a talent in practical martial arts research was of great importance to a clan.

“My, how fearsome the younger generation can be.”

Tang Luo admired the vigorous spirit of the young generation and believed it would ensure the continued prosperity of the Tang Clan.

He then walked into the Scripture Pavilion and quickly returned with two iron scrolls which he placed before Tang Luo.

“Here are Star Mystery Technique and Star Innate Blade. It is important to remember – learn broadly and refine deeply. Heavenly Pathway Technique is the foundation of our Tang Clan – don’t mistake the incidental for the fundamental.” Tang Zhen emphasized his words. While he takes pride in a gifted successor, he couldn’t help but remind him that focusing on refining auxiliary techniques might be a waste of time.
