I Can See Your Combat Power

3 : True… Congenital Leaky Body

It seems I need to find another way out.

Tang Luo lay in bed with his head pillowed on his arm, laughing at himself ironically in the darkness.

Martial arts is inherently a path filled with struggles. If I can’t get stronger from battles, this journey seems rather pointless.

“Maybe this Star Core is a burden, can I just remove it and sell it?” Tang Luo started to daydream, but his face changed suddenly before he could even finish his sentence.

The Star Core in his dantian started spinning on its own, and it was speeding up!

What’s going on?

Tang Luo sat cross-legged as he sprang up from the bed, his face solemn as he concentrated on his internal vision.

The previously calmly spinning Star Core started to spin like crazy, it turned the surrounding Spiritual Energy into a black vortex.

The silver-black vortex radiated golden light, illuminating the entire dantian space, and the Spiritual Power, which had been condensed into a mist around the Star Core, was sucked in. Dozens disappeared into the center of the vortex every second.

The Star Core was like an assassin hiding within Tang Luo’s body, revealing its poisoned dagger at this moment with the intention to absorb all of his spiritual power.

“Damn it, why can’t I control it?” Tang Luo did his best to channel the Heavenly Pathway Technique to resist the vortex’s pull from the Star Core, but the control he had with the Technique seemed insignificant in front of the vortex. Only a few strands of Spiritual Energy on the outermost layer could be drained away, but as the Spiritual Energy around the Star Core started to deplete, these few strands were sucked up into the Star Core.

In just a short time, all the Spiritual Power in Tang Luo’s body was drained away. His Mortal Realm Peak physique gradually lost its strength, his formidable physical body was undergoing a transformation yet again. His toned muscles became lax, several years of cultivation wasted, back to square one.

But this was far from being over.

Even when there’s no more Spiritual Energy in the dantian void, the Star Core continued to spin, the immense suction it created caused his entire abdomen to hurt immensely, as if a vortex was formed that was about to tear Tang Luo apart and suck him in. The excruciating pain caused Tang Luo to curl up, his hands pressing hard against his abdomen, and his face was instantly covered in large sweats.

“Hiss… Well, I guess it’s GG with a smile now.” Tang Luo turned pale, but being a man who had been reborn, he still found it in him to make a sarcastic comment in this desperate situation.

But as much as he was joking, Tang Luo did not want to die.

After all, he had his family who loved him. He didn’t have to practice martial arts, he could always choose another path. Right?action

But if the pain continues, he would really die. In just a short while, he was soaked in sweat. The pain reached its peak and he let out a painful scream.

The pain in his abdomen increased, and a fire of anger blazed in his heart. Just what on earth is this thing? The anger rushed to his head.

“Ahh!!!!!!” With all his remaining strength, Tang Luo let out a final scream that tore through the night. He didn’t care about exposing the Star Core anymore, he had to scream out, or he would surely die.

The sad wail echoed through the Tang Clan, the dark mansion suddenly lit up. Several figures sprung into the air rushing towards Tang Luo’s house.

But under such intense pain, every second felt like a year.

“Looks like I’m going to die. I’m really sorry.” Tang Luo was filled with regret. The immense pain left him without energy to breathe, his spirit and body were both at their limit, he then passed out.

The Star Core within his dantian continued to spin, and a Light Cocoon floated above it, contracting and expanding as if it was nurturing something. The Star Core constantly infused the absorbed Spiritual Power into the Light Cocoon, but with the disappearance of the misty Spiritual Energy, only the Star Core and the Light Cocoon were left in the dantian void, with nothing left to be absorbed.

But the Star Core was oblivious to this, it continued to spin even faster. The enormous suction force was not just affecting the dantian area anymore, it was affecting his entire body.

Under the influence of the massive vortex, Tang Luo, who had lost his Spiritual Power, would surely be drained into a dried-up shell, it seemed like the situation was already hopeless. He was unconscious and did not notice that a faint light was emitting from his withering body.

After all his Spiritual Power was drained, a faint force hidden in the deepest part of Tang Luo’s bloodline was woken bit by bit under the strong suction force of the Star Core.

Sensing this newfound force, the Star Core started to spin even more rapidly and forcefully. The vortex turned into a black hole, desiring to consume everything.

The newly awakened force hadn’t had the chance to fuse with the body, it was completely absorbed by the black hole.

The Star Core, having absorb this new spiritual power, infused this energy into the Light Cocoon above it.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The Light Cocoon grew brighter, contracting and expanding repeatedly.

Again and again, the Light Cocoon swelled bigger and bigger as if it was about to burst open.

Finally, the Light Cocoon acquired the energy it needed to become saturated.

“Bang!” Just like a balloon bursting, the round Light Cocoon split in two.

The brighter one hit the boundary of the dantian void and disappeared as soon as it penetrated the void, like a drop of water falling into the sea.

The other one turned into a mini-Star Core, sticking right next to the bigger Star Core.

Since the Light Cocoon burst open, the Star Core stopped spinning and creating a sucking force. It gently spun around in the dantian void just like before, only this time, it was surrounded by a mini-Star Core and not by misty Spiritual Energy.

With one small and one large, the two Star Cores slowly appeared in the dantian void in a peaceful and serene manner.

And at that moment, only a few seconds had passed since Tang Luo had screamed.
