Chapter 223: Chapter 213: Worthy of the Name
The spiritual power slowly flowed out, coalescing around Tang Mo into...
"What is that?"
The spectators saw five identical, meter-tall figures materialize out of thin air beside Tang Mo.
The five figures were composed of golden light. Each one held a longsword identical to Tang Mo’s and circled around her.
"Is that... something formed from spiritual power? But isn’t spiritual power silver? Can it really create something like this?"
The people watching the battle stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.
The sight before them was simply unbelievable.
"Good heavens, I’ve never seen anything like it."
The shocked expressions on the faces of those on the walls and watchtowers were so obvious that the people shut inside the base were dying of curiosity.
Even Li Xian and Wen Jianshu couldn’t help but wonder what on earth was happening outside.
’Momo, please be okay!’
Wen Jianshu paced back and forth anxiously.
On one hand, he had genuinely come to see Tang Mo as family and worried for her. On the other, this doting husband was terrified that if anything happened to Momo, Lin Yi would resent him.
And so, with everyone having their own agendas, someone quietly cracked open the base’s main gate without permission from Qin Ling on the wall, allowing those inside to see the unfolding scene.
The moment the door opened, the people inside crowded together, jostling to get a look outside.
They saw Tang Mo surrounded by five small, golden figures holding sharp swords. The five figures, like miniature versions of her, orbited around her.
Tang Mo stood in the center, seemingly bathed in a layer of golden light.
For a moment, the person who opened the door thought they were hallucinating and instinctively shut it again.
But when they opened it again, the sight was exactly the same.
At that moment, Tang Mo stood there, splattered with the blood of mutant beasts, her gaze sharp as she held Wind Breaker.
’I was just giving it a try,’ she thought. ’I didn’t expect it to actually work.’
Before, Tang Mo had only used her externalized spiritual power to form things like daggers, Wind Blades, or other weapons.
But that was because her spiritual power reserves were limited. Now, things were different; she had plenty of spiritual power.
Plus, she had been inspired by the Soul Beast that controlled puppets...
’If spiritual power can form weapons, can it form people?’
Tang Mo gave it a try, and to her surprise, it actually worked!
In truth, condensing spiritual power into a human form—let alone one holding a weapon, capable of both offense and defense—was no easy feat.
It not only required a massive amount of spiritual power as a foundation but also a deep understanding of the human body.
As it happened, Tang Mo also possessed the unique skill of spiritual healing.
She had healed so many people with it that she had gained a solid understanding of human anatomy.
Thus, it was a perfect storm of timing, circumstance, and skill—with no single element to spare—that allowed her to create these five miniature versions of herself.
Having an abundance of spiritual power made all the difference. Even while manifesting these five figures to protect her, Tang Mo could still channel a massive amount of spiritual power into Wind Breaker.
She even had plenty left over in her sea of consciousness, allowing her to create numerous extra Wind Blades to attack the Advanced Mutant Beasts before her.
Sword in hand, Tang Mo charged back into battle. The five figures, also holding swords, began to fight alongside her, providing support.
The five figures were limited to a fixed, equidistant radius around Tang Mo, and the Strength they could exert was one-fifth of her own attribute value.
But that was more than enough!
Two fists are no match for four hands, as the saying goes. Now, Tang Mo essentially had five helpers constantly at her side, covering her blind spots and intercepting many swift, fatal attacks.
This freed up Tang Mo to focus all her energy on dealing with the Advanced Mutant Beasts before her.
These five figures were like a 360-degree shield with no blind spots.
Tang Mo charged directly into the Mutant Beast Group and began a frenzied slaughter.
From atop the wall, Jingjing watched, helping Tang Mo by restraining her opponents. This allowed Tang Mo to move through the Mutant Beast Group like a fish in water.
Countless tiny Wind Blades weaved through the Mutant Beast Group, inflicting cumulative damage upon the mutant beasts.
When they saw the Wind Blades, the spectators were no longer surprised.
After she conjured those five Amulets, what were a few Wind Blades?
’Of course,’ they thought. ’This is to be expected.’
’Not surprising at all.’
Soon, everyone’s acceptance of Tang Mo’s abilities reached the same level as the men of the Mist Team.
You couldn’t treat Tang Mo like an ordinary person. Nothing she did was surprising anymore.
At that moment, everyone came to the same realization.
Number one in Huaxia. Tang Mo was truly worthy of the title!
However, every Spiritual Ability User who witnessed Tang Mo’s fighting style was captivated. The same thought ran through all their minds: ’Externalizing spiritual power... could I do that too?’
Tang Mo, still in the throes of battle, had no idea that after this fight, nearly every Spiritual Ability User would begin to study the externalization of spiritual power, taking her as their role model.
Soon, many Spiritual Ability Users managed to achieve simple externalization, forming daggers, Wind Blades, and the like.
However, creating five figures like Tang Mo remained an impossible task for them all. But that was a story for another time.
Under Tang Mo’s fierce and seemingly invincible assault, more and more Advanced Mutant Beasts fell at her feet.
The Soul Beast, clearly sensing the danger, rose and launched an even fiercer spiritual attack at Tang Mo.
The Soul Beast put its full power into this wave of attack, intent on taking down the human.
This spiritual attack was at least three times stronger than its previous attempts.
Even though the attack was aimed solely at Tang Mo, those standing relatively close were caught in the shockwave.
When the wave of the spiritual attack hit, the people peering through the crack in the gate, unable to resist even the aftershock, collapsed to their knees, clutching their heads in pain.
Seeing this, the people behind them dragged the fallen ones back, and the gate was quickly shut tight.
In this day and age, if you didn’t have some power, you weren’t even qualified to watch a battle, let alone join one.
The wall was also affected, but due to its height, and the fact that everyone on it besides Jingjing was one of Qin Ling’s own people, they were able to withstand the aftershock and remained at their posts.
By now, Tang Mo had externalized more than half of the spiritual power from her sea of consciousness. Her remaining reserves were just barely enough to withstand this powerful attack.
But Tang Mo didn’t retract her externalized spiritual power. Instead, she unleashed an even more ferocious assault on the remaining Advanced Mutant Beasts, determined to end the fight as quickly as possible.
