“Now it is not unusual for ordinary people to be in the Mortal Realm, there are plenty at Xiling pier, and the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou just take this matter a step further. If there can be mortals in the Mortal Realm, why can’t there be Transcendent mortals? Openly revealing the secret of breaking through from the Mortal Realm to the Transcendent Realm, even the most mediocre martial artists can break through with seven years of unyielding cultivation. Yuanzhou is revered as the holy land of contemporary martial arts, not because Xu Sheng’s martial arts theory has surpassed the world’s holy land by a thousand years, but because Yuanzhou is full of cultivators!”

“Ladies and Gentlemen, there are probably about twenty million Transcendent mortals in Longzhou, all of them martial artists. Suppose a full-scale war broke out between Longzhou and Yuanzhou today, how do you think, despite Longzhou having Martial Saint Mountain and the Beast Taming Sect, two major holy lands, the odds of victory would be?” Tang Luo used a more direct method to let the people present understand how terrifying the war potential of nationwide cultivation is.

The people at the table looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. If Yuanzhou were to really have so many cultivators and such a large number of Transcendent mortals, Longzhou would not be able to secure a victory even with two major holy lands, because the Xu Clan might indeed have a vast legion of descendants of the bloodlines.

No wonder the Xu Clan can set the grades for all the descendants of the bloodlines in the world. Perhaps all the descendants of the bloodlines in the world put together wouldn’t be as numerous as those in his family.

Although those present were top martial artists in the city, they were still struck speechless at the sight of the magnanimity of the Saint’s family.

They had accepted from the bottom of their hearts that the Xu Clan had returned to the strongest rank in the world.

In fact, there wasn’t any explosion of fame. The Phoenix singing to the nine heavens was simply due to countless rebirths, and all successes were the final results of accumulating countless correct decisions.

If a war broke out now, people would only see that the Xu Clan, which is regarded as the tail end of the holy land, has returned to the top tier, but they would not see what the Xu Clan has done over the centuries.

Many people would even casually say, ‘it is indeed the Xu Saint’s family’, and then attribute this world-shaking achievement to a Xu Clan ancestor who died a thousand years ago.

Of course, Tang Luo was not one of those short-sighted people. He knew that the Xu Clan’s achievement had a lot to do with Xu Sheng’s gifts, but in the end, it was the successive generations of Saint Lords of the Xu Clan who had done well. Just looking at Xu Lao’s few moves to Xiling, it was clear how prosperous the Xu Clan was now.”

This young man, who regarded becoming the Saint Lord of the Xu Clan as his dream, had never thought of accepting followers or having people following him since he came to Xiling. Could it be because he is not ambitious? At the root of it, it was because this Xu Clan wanderer looked down on the martial artists of Longzhou, because Yuanzhou was full of martial artists, and with the reputation of his wanderings around the world, he could easily muster up an astonishing force in Yuanzhou.”

“Why did he only want the techniques and secrets, and did not take a single penny from other resources? Because in the conventional thinking, if you want to train martial artists, you need a lot of spiritual medicines, a lot of resources, without these you cannot train martial artists, but does Xu Lao need these?” “His refusal to take a penny from the Minor Spiritual Realm of the Han Family naturally has elements of respecting Saint Han and his sworn big brother, but his aloofness can only show that he does not value these things, as long as he gets the rubbings of the techniques and secrets, it is enough. Because there are cultivators in the Transcendent Realm everywhere in Yuanzhou who do not understand martial arts!”

This is the unlimited war potential that nationwide practice has brought to the Xu Clan.

If they let the common people fend for themselves, then what Tang Zhi did was not wrong, because the martial force that these people could create is really too weak, saving the common people is just like wasting food, they can’t do anything in this flood except shivering.

But once the Tang Clan changes their mentality, these common people become extremely important, because they are the initial base numbers for the explosive growth of power.

And the biggest advantage of involving common people in cultivation is not just this. Tang Luo looked at the clan leader and elders in front of him who were obviously shocked, and said seriously: “Finally, I want to say that it doesn’t matter whether it’s the bloodlines or the natural talent, these things have nothing to do with the postnatal cultivation. If a person has a good natural aptitude at birth, then he has a good aptitude for life. If a person is born with a bloodline talent, then he will definitely awaken the bloodline when he breaks through to the Transcendent Realm. What about the rare talents that are one in ten thousand or one in a hundred thousand? When placed in a population base of one million or ten million, they are bound to appear!” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

If one transcendent talent appears among a hundred thousand cultivators, then ten will appear among a million, a hundred among ten million, and among a billion cultivators!

There will emerge… thousands of transcendent talents!

The thundering conclusion once again stunned the hall into silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

“This… this can’t be.” Tang Hongtao was stunned, whispering to himself.

The shock he experienced was evident from the expression on this master’s face. If the Xu Clan’s approach to Yuanzhou could still be said to be none of his business, then these comments about bloodline talent completely overturned everyone’s understanding of martial arts.

As an elder of the Secret Arts Pavilion, he has read a lot of martial arts works, but the discussion about talent on any book from ancient times to the present is very obscure.

“There are no two identical leaves in the world, let alone two identical people, so even if they are both transcendent talents, they are different and there is a ranking.”

“People differ in appearance, in height, in temperament, in their fundamental talent just like in appearance, basically similar but with a slight difference that leads to a huge gap.”

Most martial arts works have such an argument, and the Wind Media Department has collected a large amount of information about Tang Clan martial artists and clan martial artists over the years, which indirectly confirmed this.

There is a huge gap in time between the same kind of cultivation by clan children and commoners, and then they also collected and recruited information from wandering martial artists, and found it to be the same.

As time went on, everyone accepted that because of the continuous physical enhancement from generations of martial arts practice, the aptitude of the main branch disciples has far surpassed that of ordinary people, which is why more elite practitioners tend to emerge on a larger scale.

But according to Tang Luo’s argument, it’s like overturning the Wind Media Department’s thousand years of research, how can Tang Hongtao accept this contradiction? He immediately retorted: “If talent is predestined, how do you explain the fact that the time it takes for civilian martial artists to achieve Foundation Building is far longer than for the children of martial families? Isn’t this because of the evolution of talent brought by the continuous evolution of the descendants of martial artists through generations of physical enhancement and martial arts practice?”

“I don’t know whether the talent has evolved or not, but it’s certainly not as big as the impact of the postnatal environment on a cultivator. If you are interested, you can do an experiment. Adopt the orphans from the charitable institute as a base child and educate a clan child following the orphan nurturing standards. See if in the end, the nurtured orphan can reach the standard of the clan child? And check whether the child with the bloodline of the Tang Clan is similar to an ordinary people’s martial artist.” Tang Luo pointed out the key to the matter: “If this sample is expanded to a hundred cases, a thousand cases, or even ten thousand cases, you will find that the probability of a transcendent talent appearing among the common people and among the clans are almost identical!”

Tang Luo doesn’t know if the Xu Clan’s Taiching Divine Pupil sees the same as his eyes, but one thing he can be sure of is that without the Taiching Divine Pupil in the world today, his eyes that can see the quantity of spiritual power are the only criteria for a martial artist’s talent.

Except for some people born abnormal who can’t cultivate, the normal human aptitude starts from 1.0, and now the highest he has seen is Fang Han at 1.4.

The so-called exceptional talents mostly have aptitudes from 1.2 to 1.3. Because the amount of spiritual power above martial artist’s head does not lie, if a person continues to practice relentlessly, he can calculate the approximate value by the current amount of spiritual power above the head, and the error will not exceed 0.05..
