Chapter 1066: Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty: The Na Does Not Match the Reality Chapter 1066: Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty: The Na Does Not Match the Reality Brother Tian, after all, did not really place the corn cobs outside the house; instead, he piled them up beside the bed along with two thin-handled wooden spoons—one for scooping water and the other for holding corn. It could be said that he was very thoughtful.
In the following days, Brother Tian still went out at irregular tis, sotis just for a few hours, other tis for an entire day.
And each ti he returned, Brother Tian would first check on Tang Luo in the woodshed and refill the corn cobs and clear water, feeding him the dicine before leaving.
Tang Luo never asked Brother Tian where he had gone or what he had done, and Brother Tian did not bring it up on his own. The two would only talk about matters unrelated to this, such as why after he had left for only half a day, the whole bag of corn cobs was almost finished.
“You really have a great appetite!” Brother Tian fluffed up the now empty corn cobs and exclaid, “In just such a short ti, twenty pounds of corn cobs are gone. Your body’s recovery is going well, at least your digestive ability is almost catching up with a warrior who has achieved unity of spirit and intent!”
For warriors, there was nothing more important than eating.
The energy conversion rate of ordinary people’s food was terrifyingly low; eating ten pounds might net the absorption of just over a pound, and even if every al consisted of spiritual rice and beast at, the conversion rate wouldn’t exceed forty percent.
Therefore, martial researchers had developed many techniques to enhance the energy conversion rate of warriors, such as the Whale-swallowing technique and the Dragon-twisting thod;
But no matter the technique, there were always troubleso aspects, naly, that it was impossible to reach a one hundred percent absorption rate. Even the most top-level techniques from the holy lands resulted in about a ten percent accumulation of waste products.
To facilitate Tang Luo’s excretion, the resourceful Brother Tian fashioned a hole in the bed board, perfectly placing Tang Luo’s waist over it, with a wooden bucket underneath to catch any involuntary discharges and preserve so dignity.
But over these five or six days, Tang Luo must have consud at least a hundred pounds of corn cobs and several buckets of clear water, yet the wooden bucket under the bed remained empty.
This indicated that Tang Luo possessed a secret technique of energy conversion that surpassed even those of the holy lands, which made Brother Tian a bit envious, “The first family of the ancient Human Race really has extraordinary heritage; just in energy conversion alone, you’ve already far outstripped the holy lands!”
Lying on the bed, Tang Luo knew right away that Brother Tian was misunderstanding and lightly said, “This is not so technique, but rather the ‘Void Stomach,’ a divine ability. Forget corn cobs; it can even absorb soil and raw iron. Such corn cobs are nothing!”
Brother Tian was initially startled, then his eyes shone brightly, and he suddenly scurried to the side of the bed, startling Tang Luo.
“Hey, what are you doing!?”
But Brother Tian, as if he couldn’t hear at all, squatted down, staring straight at Tang Luo’s midsection; after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said with a quivering voice, “You… you said… you have ‘Void Stomach’?”
“It’s just a divine ability for storing and retrieving objects, is there a need for such a big reaction?”
The startled Tang Luo said discontentedly, “The only channel linking this divine ability is through the mouth, and how big could that be? Even if you used a knife to cut open the cheeks, it wouldn’t open much wider. In terms of practicality, it’s more of a life-related divine ability with limited benefits to combat power.”

These days, being unable to move, the only entertainnt for Tang Luo was to rederive the divine abilities he possessed to see if there was any potential for further developnt.
While the Void Dual Wheels, the Yin-Yang Grinding, and the Breath Arrow all developed new uses, the Void Stomach was the one divine ability he had given up on researching from the beginning.
After all, the fundantal nature of this ability ant he couldn’t change his location, as each of the void stomach sacs inside him could be considered coordinates corresponding to a specific Void Realm.
While a person moves, the coordinates do not, and all research involving the void must at least wait until the body has undergone Spirit Qualification and can navigate the Void Realm.
Given his current physical condition, let alone navigating the Void Realm, it was even problematic to get out of bed and walk, so researching the Void Stomach was an unrewarding struggle.
The reason for such low regard was that as the main divine ability of his Undying Battle Body, the Void Stomach hadn’t played the role of a main divine ability and had always been auxiliary.
The only contribution it made to Tang Luo’s combat power was to quickly generate blood by being filled with spirit springs and salt, and even this depended solely on the special nature of his body.
So he couldn’t understand why the ancient texts touted the Void Stomach as a rarity in the heavens and on earth.
As a seasoned martial arts researcher, Tang Luo’s rating for the Void Stomach was no more than 6.5, just a little better than passable.
Having his number one divine ability scrutinized in such a way, Brother Tian’s eyes nearly burst into flas, he stood up abruptly and pointing at Tang Luo’s nose, he shouted, “That’s because you have no idea how to use this divine ability. If any rchant from Chaochang were to use it, they would likely have beco rich enough to rival nations!”
“What’s the use of being rich enough to rival nations?” As a seasoned martial arts researcher, Tang Luo was quite objective in his assessnt of divine abilities. Being falsely accused in such a manner, he naturally couldn’t tolerate it, believing he had developed the Void Stomach to its utmost within the bounds allowed by his cultivation level, he couldn’t bear such unfounded slander.
The proud Longxi’s Pride firmly retorted, “This divine ability provides very limited benefits to combat power. Even after the body has completely undergone Spirit Qualification and the orifices of the Void Stomach can be modified, at best, it could be transford into a defensive Spirit Art. Moreover, during defense, one must be careful—if the opponent’s Spirit Art is too strong and the spirit injury exceeds the Void Realm’s tolerance, the Void Stomach will be torn apart.”
“To use it for attack is even more powerless. Against an opponent of the sa level, swallowing them with the Void Stomach won’t kill them; against lower-level opponents, is it necessary to exert so much effort with the Void Stomach? Therefore, even if further developed, the limit of the Void Stomach is just the level of an ordinary divine ability, hardly improving further!”
“Many praises for the Void Stomach in ancient secret texts are because of that world-renowned black rchant from the Yun Clan. But if you think about it carefully, that rchant’s strength had nothing to do directly with the Void Stomach. After all, he was a cultivator of exceptional talent, reaching the Fierce Realm at twenty-eight, and the master level before eighty, cultivating the Yun Clan’s top martial arts, combining body and spirit cultivation, with unrivaled soft power. Even without the Void Stomach, he would still have been one of the strongest beings in the world.”
“In conclusion, although the Void Stomach is often revered as a top-level divine ability, its true level is just that of an ordinary divine ability, inflated by so rchants!”
Initially, Tang Luo was extrely passionate about the Void Stomach, as its reputation was so great, it naturally raised expectations. But when he delved deeper into it, he found it less promising than so heterodox divine abilities.
His dissatisfaction with the Void Stomach had been accumulating for a long ti, feeling it was an overrated divine ability that was all na and no substance.
