Every member of the Tang Clan practices martial arts, and only the most outstanding ones are chosen to train in the First Cultivation Ground as selected protégés. However, all clan members, from scholars to idle rich kids, are required to reach at least the Foundation Building stage.
This requirement means that even the most unimpressive descendant of the Tang Clan must reach the peak of the Mortal Realm. With the advantage of the Heavenly Pathway Technique, even a novice would be many times stronger than an average civilian martial artist. Add to that a well-nourished and physically robust body, thanks to a balanced diet and the use of Spiritual Food, and the disparity in combat power becomes even more significant.
However, the difference between the clan's educational institution and the Martial Hall lies in their seven academic disciplines: miscellaneous studies, mathematics, agriculture, medicine, metallurgy, martial arts research, and political economics.
