The Scholarly Rune was the signature rune of the Sage, similar to the Imperial Rune of the Heavenly Emperor, and there was no way for Shuhang to copy it.
Even among the 13 Tribulation Transcenders of the scholarly faction, who received the teachings of the Sage himself, only four were able to manifest an imitation of the Scholarly Rune, which was still far worse than the original.
Nevertheless, even if one learned how to imitate the Scholarly Rune, without the strength of a Tribulation Transcender, there was no way to use the technique.
While possessed by the Scholarly Sage's obsession, there was nothing that Song Shuhang could learn or improve other than the ❮Scholarly Indestructible Body of the Buddha❯ that he learned a long time ago.
The main reason was that the Sage and the fat ball were simply too powerful.
In a battle between the two, ordinary secret techniques would have no effect at all.
