Chapter 523: Chapter 519: Rumor Has It

Tang Luo and Hua Ji, already adept at their jobs, adeptly worked together to significantly speed up the progress on the western side. The fact that they were able to verify fewer than two hundred people put a big smile on Tang Luo’s face.

Not only were the western martial artists superior to the eastern ones in terms of average spiritual power, but there were also more prodigies springing forth. From only two hundred people, a Marshal Star Pavilion member with a 1.2 spirit strength had emerged, leading Tang Luo to wonder just how many remarkable individuals there might be once they had screened the over four thousand people.

The team slowly advanced, and soon the turn of the Fang brothers came. The towering figure of Fang Xiong drew everyone’s attention in the crowd. To the malnourished martial artists among the common folk, the height of a two-meter tall martial artist was comparable to that of a giant, even exceeding Tang Luo’s current build.

Though towering, Fang Xiong’s presence was incredibly weak, making him resemble an old man on his last legs. As for his older brother Fang Yuan, the once gentlemanly small-eyed man, he resembled a drug addict now, his face as pale as a sheet, barely drawing breath.

This was the first time the Fang brothers made an appearance in front of Tang Luo, causing Hua Ji to furrow his brows, doubt filling his eyes, as if questioning, “Can these two emaciated figures even be considered martial artists?”

Judging by their current aura and complexion, they would have difficulty even moving a piece of furniture, let alone chopping wood. Thus it wasn’t surprising that Hua Ji was sceptical.

The brothers, however, appeared unperturbed. The small-eyed man gave a bow to Tang Luo and Hua Ji, speaking in a voice almost as faint as a mosquito’s: “Please accept Tang Tianjiao’s greetings. My name is Fang Yuan.”

Tang Luo glanced at Fang Yuan, then at Fang Xiong behind him, curiosity etched on his face, he asked, “Are you not afraid of death?”

Yuan, already pale, blanched at these words, stuttering: “I…I don’t

enlighten you,” he said with a smile. Tang Luo’s voiced lowered as he continued, “We sit among the crowd, practicing our internal energy while others practice theirs. I’ve caught on to the pattern, Tang Tianjiao is careful. Everyone is checked twice, once before they practice, and once after. After the first check, we utilize our internal energy, Qixi Gong, to control our spiritual power, and then release a bit before the second check. This way, they will assume we are Mortal Realm martial artists, and there is a good chance they will send us to Master Ou at Dong Feng. There, we are not far from our secret cave, where we can stock up on a few days’ food, and then sail out on a raft, returning to our mother’s homeland, where even birds fly freely and fish leap in the expanse of the sea. Then, we can truly be
