I Can See Your Combat Power-Chapter 900 - 194: Yuanzhou’s Popular Treat

Chapter 900 -194: Yuanzhou’s Popular Treat

The matter of the destruction of Buddhism in Yuanzhou grew ever more intense, and the legend of Tang Luo fermented in Ying City.

This devil who descended upon the world, born with the Two Ambiguity Innate Qi, became the youngest martial artist of the Fierce Realm in the history of Xiehe martial arts, the champion of the twentieth Longzhou Martial Arts Tournament, overshadowing the sects and recognized as a once-in-a-generation prodigy…

All these feats shrouded the Tang Clan outsider Tang Luo in a layer of mystery and even the Yuanzhou Holy Land, despite its high standards, had to admit that having such a young man marry a sect’s holy daughter would not be disgraceful.

Particularly after learning from Xu Shuhui’s mouth that the prodigiously talented Tang Luo, with his astonishing cultivation, was nearing his twenties without having taken a wife or concubine, maintaining the purity of his Yuan Yang, many were deeply moved.

Among them, the Mysterious Moon Sword Sect in Ying City was the most eager.

...

The Sword Saint of the Mysterious Moon Sword Sect was named Xu Xuanji. Five hundred years ago, he grasped the essence of Mysterious Moon Sword Techniques while admiring the moon atop Kaiyang Mountain and founded the Mysterious Moon Sword Sect.

The way of the Mysterious Moon Sword draws upon the power of Taiyin to infuse into the sword, cultivating sword intent that is pure and untainted, able to dispel all evil. It is especially solid and piercing, like the cold moonlight, deadly upon touch. Its might ranks among the top one hundred in the myriad ways of sword intent across the heavens.

The emergence of the Mysterious Moon Sword Technique not only signified the rise of a new sword doctrine but also held special significance; it predicted that swordsman could not only comprehend swords from Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and all things in heaven and earth, but could also cast their gaze upon the boundless Endless Sea of stars.

Since then, the Big Dipper Sword Intent, Yan Yang Sword Intent, Po Jun Sword Intent, Qi Sha Sword Intent, and others emerged. While not every star could inspire sword intent within a swordsman, collectively, various schools have appeared that focus on the sword intent gathered from the stars across the heavens, greatly enriching the pantheon of sword intents.

Subsequent sword sects that managed to comprehend the starry sword intents also invariably regarded the Mysterious Moon Sword Sect as the originator of the star sword doctrines.

However, people don’t enjoy endless good days, nor do flowers remain in bloom forever. The highly talented Sword Saint Xu Xuanji achieved the revered position of a Sword Saint at a young age, and during his travels, he was eager to compete with the strong. His offensive-leaning combat style, however, caused him to sustain many hidden injuries.

But for a young, proud, and arrogant sword saint like him, injuries seemed inconsequential. He believed that with rest he would be as good as new. Old wounds hadn’t healed before new ones were added, and this cycle continued, eventually leading to incurable internal injuries. The gifted Sword Saint Xu Xuanji thus found himself stuck at the step of spiritualizing his physical body, failed to attain the level of a Grandmaster, and ultimately passed away in resentment.

Since then, for five hundred years, the lineage of the Mysterious Moon Sword Sect in Ying City seemed to have exhausted its luck, never again producing a swordsman of extraordinary genius. Despite its continuous weakness, the Mysterious Moon Sword Sect grew stronger, thanks to its status among the starry sword doctrines and the intrinsic qualities of the Mysterious Moon Sword Intent.

In Ying City alone, there were three Daoist temples but only one Grandmaster; within other major sword sects, such a situation would be unimaginable.

The current Sword Venerable of the Mysterious Moon Sword Sect, Xu Biao, plagued by the lack of exceptional talents in his line, turned his attention to marital alliances.

As a direct descendant of the Xu Clan, his choices for marital ties were extremely limited; apart from relatives outside of five generations of the Xu Clan, only descendants from the seventy-two royal families remained as options.

Sage Teacher Xu Feng traveled the world, and his first batch of disciples numbered seventy-two, each awakening powerful bloodlines, historically known as the Seventy-Two Kings. After Xu Feng cleansed Yuanzhou, he dispersed these disciples, letting them use their learnings to guide the Human Race. Some established their own families, some built cities, and some explored the Endless Sea in pursuit of the limits of martial arts.

Because of the relationship with Xu Sheng, the forces created by these Kings were closely connected with the Xu Clan, no matter their distance. Coupled with their significant contributions to the Human Race, posterity collectively referred to these people as the Seventy-Two King Clans.

The Mysterious Moon Sword Supreme Xu Biao had three sons and five daughters. His youngest daughter, Xu Qingyue, was exceptionally intelligent from a young age. Although her roots were average and her talent mediocre, her comprehension and innate gifts were outstanding, not to mention her extremely beautiful appearance, leading to some young nobles in Ying City to call her Qingyue Princess.

Especially after Xu Qingyue turned fifteen last year, suitors had worn out her doorstep with marriage proposals. However, Xu Biao had his own set of standards for selecting a son-in-law, which had nothing to do with status. In the eyes of the Mysterious Moon Sword Supreme, as a disciple of the Xu Clan in the Tianxuan lineage, the primary task was to carry on the legacy of the Mysterious Moon Sword Sect, to prevent the lineage from breaking. To achieve this, aside from astonishingly talented swordsmen, powerful figures to take charge of the sword sect were indispensable.

Therefore, as Xu Biao’s daughter, there was only one criterion for choosing a husband, that is, whether this son-in-law could serve the Mysterious Moon Sword Sect in the future, or even better, enhance its glory and prosperity.

The Tianxuan Sword Sect was not lacking in background, and the Mysterious Moon Sword Sect was even more powerful, what they needed were true family warriors to manage the vast enterprise.

As for concerns such as birth, family background, and children’s preferences, all of these could be deferred to a later time.

Hence, Xu Biao’s eldest daughter, Xu Qingqiu, married a young warrior who had awakened a third-rank bloodline, and his second daughter, Xu Qingyun, married a young warrior who had awakened a fourth-rank bloodline. And the youngest daughter, Xu Qingyue, was evidently unable to escape such a fate either.

After all, parents’ commands and matchmakers’ words, no matter on which continent, always held significant sway in the market, let alone in a sacred place like the Yuanzhou Xu Clan.

However, when it came to his youngest daughter’s marriage, Xu Biao still hesitated. It wasn’t that he treated this youngest daughter differently, but rather due to the hype by those busybodies in Ying City, Qingyue Princess’s fame had spread far and wide, and suitors flocked to her door, many of whom were astonishing talents from the Xu Clan lineage.

While he was comparing candidates, the name Tang Luo entered his ears. As the biggest topic in Ying City lately, even though Xu Biao was not qualified to attend the holy council at the Sword Pavilion, he was still very familiar with Xu Shuhui’s past.

Thinking of Tang Luo, the Mysterious Moon Sword Supreme suddenly saw the light and immediately called for his wife, instructing her to get closer to Xu Shuhui and to bring up their youngest daughter in conversation.

“Husband, weren’t you full of praise for Xu Yanyang a few days ago? Why have you changed your mind today?”

“What does a woman of the house understand?” Xu Biao waved his hand as he explained, “Xu Yanyang is one of the most outstanding descendants of the Qi Sha Sword Sect, and if nothing goes wrong, he might lead the sword sect and become a Sword Venerable in the future. Although our sword sect has always had a good relationship with the Qi Sha Sword Sect, there is absolutely no logic in allowing one person to hold the position of Sword Venerable in both sects. Xu Yanyang is impressive, but after all, he cannot serve our Mysterious Moon Sword Sect, so what use is there?”

“But this Tang Luo?” Xu Biao’s wife hesitated, “A martial artist from the Fierce Realm at the age of twenty is indeed astonishingly talented, but since he has reached the Fierce Realm, if Qingyue marries him, it could be difficult to have offspring, such a marriage alliance…”

“A woman’s perspective!” Xu Biao said impatiently, “The Tang family in Xiling is just a remote small clan. A prodigy like Tang Luo is like a parched plant thirsting for water; in no time at all, he will have exhausted the Tang family’s collections.”
