Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Undercurrents Surge _1

The Holy City is not like the outside world, even Dao Wuming wouldn’t dare to act recklessly here, not to mention the Holy Son and Mo Wu Shang.

”Kid, you just wait; during the final match of the Martial Arts Festival, you better hope you don’t come across me, or you’ll find out the price of insulting me!”

”Exactly, with Brother Wuming now in the full phase of a Heavenly Pulse Warrior and his Heavenly Origin Power surpassing fifty percent, he’s not someone just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can beat.”

”The Moon Hua Sect brat, kneel down and apologize to my Brother Wuming right now, so that when you do meet, he can let you lose a little more gracefully.”

”Why would Brother Wuming need to take action? I can easily take care of him myself.”

”Hahaha!”

”Hahahaha!”

The disciples of the Heavenly King Sect were also brimming with pride.

After all, the Heavenly King Sect was regarded as the number one sect on the Heavenly Dragon Continent; their pride was, in a way, understandable.

Ling Xiao looked at Dao Wuming with a disdainful gaze, revealing a mocking smile, ”I’m really sorry, but I honestly didn’t know that Heavenly Pulse Warriors were stronger than Heavenly Realm Martial Artists. Just a couple of days ago in the True Demon Forbidden Land, I accidentally killed a martial artist from the First Line Heaven Realm.”

”Uh...”

As soon as Ling Xiao spoke these words, both the onlookers and the warriors from the Heavenly King Sect were taken aback, their previously roaring laughter freezing suddenly, as if they were stricken with infantile paralysis.

Accidentally killed a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist?

That’s too much of a blow!

”Pfft! Look at those people from the Heavenly King Sect, showing off in front of others and now they’ve embarrassed themselves.”

”Did that young man from the Moon Hua Sect really kill a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist?”

”He did, I saw it with my own eyes, although he used a special power.”

”Doesn’t that mean he’s on par with the Holy Son?”

”Right.”

A bunch of onlookers who loved a good spectacle began discussing loudly, causing Dao Wuming’s face, which was already about to drip blood from sheer embarrassment, to instantly turn deathly white.

His lips twitched uncontrollably, and his throat rolled as he desperately tried to contain his anger.

”Damn it, I can’t take this, kid, come out; let’s fight for three hundred rounds!”

Dao Wuming didn’t believe Ling Xiao had killed a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, and even if he had, he was sure others must have helped him.

So he wasn’t afraid of Dao Wuming.

”Idiot, we’re off to the auction event and don’t have time to mess around with you, besides, this is the Holy City. If you’re looking to die, that’s your problem; I’m planning on living a bit longer. Senior Brother Wu, let’s go.”

Ling Xiao looked at Dao Wuming with disdain and then left with Wu Xiang and the others.

”Pfft!”

Dao Wuming was so angry that he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

”Wuming, there’s no need to be so angry; just kill him during the Martial Arts Festival!”

Kong Xuan also disliked Ling Xiao, and when Dao Wuming spoke sarcastically to Ling Xiao today, he didn’t stop him.

He had hoped to make Ling Xiao lose face, but who would have thought it would be them who ended up embarrassed.

This was indeed a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, a run of bad luck.

However, after calming down, he was somewhat astonished: ”How did this little beast cultivate so fast? Only a day or so has passed, and it feels like his cultivation level has increased a lot. At this rate, who can stop him?”

It was precisely because they were annoyed with Ling Xiao that the people from the Heavenly King Sect were paying extra attention to this guy.

Especially Kong Xuan. He had lost face during the last incident in the True Demon Forbidden Land. Seeing Ling Xiao’s rapid progression was both shocking and worrying.

”Vice Sect Master, we better hurry to the auction house. If we’re late, the Transcendent Pills might all be sold out.”

”Alright, let’s set off!”

The Imperial Auction House was always bustling, but today it was definitely the liveliest it had been in a year.

There were two main reasons for this, one being that there were simply too many martial artists who had come to the Holy City.

The other was that the Perfect Grade Transcendent Pills were extremely sought-after.

Upon entering the auction house, the scene was like a festival, with various conversations and laughter intermingling into a sea of people.

As one of the Twelve Sects, the Moon Hua Sect’s prestige had been rising, and so they were immediately escorted to the VIP room upon entering the Imperial Auction House.

The VIP room was naturally much more spacious, and as Ling Xiao and other high-ranking officials sat down, he found a seat at random, as he had no interest in bidding on the Transcendent Pills that he had put up for sale.

He was just going to use the escaping technique later to leave and find Yun Ya, since what he cared about most right now was whether he had gathered all the materials for his Heavenly Pulse Pill.

Just then, a familiar voice came from the neighboring room.

”Junior Sister, I heard that after the Martial Arts Festival ends, the Heavenly Dragon Academy will officially announce its recruitment. Are you planning to join?”

The voice turned out to be Jian Wuji’s.

And his junior sister needed no guessing; it was Chen Meng.

”Senior Brother, is the Heavenly Dragon Academy really as good as you say it is?”

Another voice spoke up, and it was indeed Chen Meng’s.

The two were chatting without seeming to care if others heard them, probably because the Heavenly Dragon Academy was about to start a publicity campaign. Discussing it in public would serve as a form of promotion for the academy.

”Of course!”

Jian Wuji’s voice suddenly became excited: ”The strength of the Heavenly Dragon Academy is far beyond what you can imagine!

Do you know, the Heavenly Dragon Academy was jointly built by the Sacred Emperor and the Heavenly King Sect Master, utilizing the full power of the entire Sacred Dynasty.

The Heavenly King Sect, Jade Water Divine Palace, Mysterious Fire Sect, Gu King Sect, Poison King Sect, Tang Sect, Sword King Sect—seven of the Great Sects along with hundreds of smaller sects have agreed to join.

But their recruitment requirements are extremely strict. To join the Heavenly Dragon Academy, one must reach the Transcendent Realm before the age of fifty, otherwise, they do not qualify.

Moreover, Transcendent Realm martial artists are merely Outer Disciples at the Heavenly Dragon Academy.

Not only that, but I’ve heard from insiders that to become a teaching master at the academy, one must at least be a Heavenly Realm martial artist.

Just think about it, with such profound strength and financial power, how many people will go crazy once they announce recruitment?”

”But Senior Brother, why would those sects be willing to send their top disciples to the Heavenly Dragon Academy?”

Chen Meng asked, puzzled.

”Do they dare not to?”

Jian Wuji sneered. ”I can’t say much about the specifics, but whoever dares to oppose the Heavenly Dragon Academy is opposing the entire Sacred Dynasty! The Martial Arts Festival is, to put it plainly, a selection of disciples for the Heavenly Dragon Academy. We must achieve good results!”

Perhaps the discussion then moved onto more confidential information, as the two people next door switched to communicating by transmitting their voices, and Ling Xiao could no longer hear them.

However, he could guess some things.

He exchanged glances with Wu Xiang, and both could see the concern in each other’s eyes.

In the Mysterious World, there’s a saying; ”Those who follow me shall thrive, those who oppose me shall perish.”

What they feared the most was that if the Moon Hua Sect refused to join the Heavenly Dragon Academy, they would likely be immediately destroyed.

They had to start preparing in advance!

”Senior Brother Wu, why don’t you go back to the Sect first? As all our experts are in the Holy City, if the Heavenly Dragon Academy takes any action, we’ll be too far to respond!”

Ling Xiao transmitted his voice to communicate.
