Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Shi Clan Yu Lian_1

Ling Wuheng and Ling Yixue left.

Ling Xiao looked at the towering tree outside the courtyard and muttered to himself, ”The world is so vast, after all, I must go out and see it.”

Now that he had become the foremost among the younger generation of the Ling Family, his next step was to step outside the Ling Family and test the levels of the young talents in the entire Tianfeng City.

Monster Beasts of the pinnacle of Level 8!

The lady in blue!

The competition among the Ten Thousand Clans!

All of these stirred his nerves, making him eagerly wish to venture out as soon as possible.

As long as there is no rival left in Tianfeng City, it will be time for him to leave.

Progress requires motivation, and once invincible, one loses direction.

”The Tianfeng Grand Gathering is one month away; I should strive to cultivate both the Heavy Shadow Sword Technique and the Nine Rotations Golden Body Technique to the realm of Great Achievement by then.”

With this thought in mind, Ling Xiao no longer hesitated and returned to the practice room.

Meanwhile, the Four Great Families of Tianfeng City and many other families were also preparing for the Tianfeng Grand Gathering.

Generally speaking, the four contestants sent out by the Four Great Clans are the top four from the annual competition.

This is also why the Tianfeng Grand Gathering is held after the annual competition.

However, there are some exceptions.

For example, at the Ling Family side, Ling Chen returned, Ling Feifan went out for experience, and Ling Zhan and Ling Shuang both chose to go into closed-door cultivation.

The four contestants to be sent out became a matter for discussion.

But as the number one in the Genius Hall, Ling Xiao was almost certain to be sent to the gathering.

Therefore, he did not need to worry about this spot and found focusing on his cultivation more suitable for him.

Ten days later, inside the practice room.

Ling Xiao thrust out with his sword and it transformed into four shadows, which then swiftly merged back into one.

These four shadows consisted of one real body and three shadow avatars!

After ten days of hard practice, he finally broke through the third level of the Heavy Shadow Sword Technique!

For the Heavy Shadow Sword Technique, which only has five levels, this was already a very high realm, capable of creating three shadow avatars with a single sword strike.

If he added his Martial Soul Avatar, that would make four, and combining it with his real body, he could suddenly change from one-on-one to a five-on-one situation, catching his opponent completely off guard.

”As expected, after the realm improved, the bottleneck of the third level of the Heavy Shadow Sword Technique also disappeared, making it seem like the previous decision to focus on increasing my cultivation level was correct!”

Holding the Ice Glass Sword in his hand, Ling Xiao’s face showed delight.

Within merely ten days, he had broken through the third level of the Heavy Shadow Sword Technique. Moving on to the fourth level wouldn’t increase the number of shadow avatars but would improve the attack power of each shadow by twenty percent.

That is to say, it would increase from thirty percent of Ling Xiao’s strength to fifty percent.

Currently, Ling Xiao was at the early stage of Martial Vein Sixth Layer, and his actual combat strength might not be inferior to a Martial Artist in the late stage of the Sixth Layer.

His fifty percent strength was at least equivalent to the level of a Martial Artist with the Martial Vein Third Layer.

Keep in mind, that level is much higher than many of the disciples in Ling Clan’s Elite Hall.

Of course, while his realm had improved, he had temporarily chosen to remain at the Martial Vein Fifth Peak Realm as his facade.

Doing so was certainly not for show; after all, having more trump cards increases the possibility of victory. By concealing his true strength, he gained yet another trump card.

When the progress of the Heavy Shadow Sword Technique slowed again, Ling Xiao paused briefly and returned to the practice of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique.

At present, his Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique was at the sixth rotation.

If I could cultivate to the seventh rotation before the Tianfeng Grand Assembly, not only would my defense be greatly enhanced, but I would also achieve a special effect.

One must know, at the seventh rotation, one could forge a true golden body. When executing the ”Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique”, the body would shimmer golden yellow with a thin membrane-like substance adhering to the skin’s surface, offering not just astonishing defenses but also the ability to rebound the enemy’s attacks.

Even though the icy chill of the Cold-Pond Golden Fluid in the Mountain and River World had been depleted, the golden fluid itself had not yet been used up.

With this golden fluid, it would be enough to advance the ”Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique” to the seventh rotation.

Especially since my cultivation level had already broken through to the Martial Meridian Sixth Layer, cultivating the ”Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique” has become noticeably easier, and the previous obstacles had almost completely vanished.

”The ’Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique’ is a superior top-tier martial arts, once I cultivate it to the seventh rotation, I will confidently defeat Ling Chen.”

In my previous encounters with Ling Chen, I had been at a disadvantage.

Had it not been for Ling Wuheng’s intervention that day, it would have been impossible to drive Ling Chen away. At most, I could have avoided defeat, but it would certainly have been embarrassing.

Ling Wuheng could help me once, but not forever. To gain respect, one must possess sufficient strength!

Almost simultaneously, in the Ling Family’s back mountains, a powerful aura surged to the sky, and the entire Ling Clan felt it.

”Martial Meridian Sixth Layer Intermediate Stage? And why does this aura have a fearsome, unique feeling to it?”

Ling Xiao furrowed his brows slightly.

He was very familiar with that aura; it should belong to Ling Chen.

Ten days ago, Ling Chen was already at the peak of the early Sixth Level Martial Vein, so his breakthrough now seemed normal.

After all, since Ling Chen’s return, he received the Ling Family’s unanimous support for cultivation, even gaining access to the Book Pavilion Fourth Floor.

However, Ling Xiao was concerned about that strange and fearsome aura.

Could it be the aura brought on by the Transcendent Martial Arts Fragmentary Secret?

”Hahaha, Ling Chen, my dear grandson, your performance truly astonishes me. Seventeen years old and breaking through to the Martial Meridian Sixth Layer, shattering Tianfeng City’s fifty-year record! And now you’ve managed another breakthrough!”

Ling Xiaotian looked at Ling Chen, stroking his beard and praising him with satisfaction:

”What surprises me even more is that you have already comprehended the mystic arts of two Transcendent Martial Arts Fragments. If you are not the number one genius of Tianfeng City, then who is?”

”If it weren’t for the Clan Leader Grandfather and all the Elder Supremes working together to help me unblock the Martial Veins and temper my body, I wouldn’t have been able to break through to the Martial Meridian Sixth Layer Intermediate Stage so quickly, let alone comprehend the second Transcendent Martial Arts Fragmentary Secret!”

Although Ling Chen is prideful, he doesn’t dare to be arrogant in front of the four elders present.

After all, the cultivation levels of these four elders are all above Martial Vein Seventh Layer.

To know, being above Martial Vein Seventh Layer is the Explosive Qi Stage—they are true Martial Masters!

They are a step beyond a Wu Tu, a Martial Master!

Though the Sixth Layer and Seventh Layer seem only a layer apart, they represent a gulf as vast as the heavens and the earth.

From Martial Student to Wu Tu, if among a hundred there is one who succeeds, it is fortunate.

From Wu Tu to Martial Master, if among a thousand one succeeds, it is considered quite remarkable.

One is one in a hundred, the other is one in a thousand; the gap is indeed enormous.

”It’s good that you know how to be humble. Right now, do not go looking for trouble with Ling Xiao. You should join hands with him to bring glory to our Ling Clan. Understood?”

Ling Xiaotian said with a smile, ”With both of you in our Ling Clan, why worry about not being able to suppress the other Three Great Families in the future, or about not securing the championship at this Tianfeng Grand Assembly!”

”Grandfather, rest assured, the Tianfeng Grand Assembly is merely that. The only reason they’ve had it easy these years is that I did not participate. But now that I have returned, the title of Tianfeng City’s number one young master will naturally belong to our Ling Family.”

Ling Chen’s words were filled with strong confidence; he didn’t consider the other martial artists of Tianfeng City worth mentioning at all.

”Don’t be complacent. Among the Four Great Clans, the strongest is the City Lord’s Mansion’s daughter, Shi Yu Lian! You must not underestimate this young lady!”

Ling Xiaotian warned, frowning.

”Shi Yu Lian is merely at the Martial Vein Fifth Peak Realm; what do I have to fear? Grandfather, you worry too much. Besides, if Shi Yu Lian is famed as Tianfeng City’s number one beauty, perhaps I could marry her and make her your granddaughter-in-law,” joked Ling Chen, shaking his head. Seeing Ling Xiaotian about to continue, Ling Chen cut in, ”Of course, rest assured, Grandfather. There are twenty days left until the Tianfeng Grand Assembly, and I definitely won’t slack off in my cultivation!”
