Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 891: Chapter 891: Above Special Superior

The test for attack power was quite simple; it involved a special crystal that participants would target with their attacks. If your attack power reached the ’Class A’ level, you were considered to have passed the test.

The test ranked attack power in six categories: Special Excellent, Excellent, Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D, with anything below Class A being a fail.

Ling Xiao wanted to use this opportunity to gauge his own abilities, so he didn’t plan to hold back.

”Let’s begin.”

The testing instructor glanced at Ling Xiao’s information and said indifferently.

Whoosh!

A streak of sword light shot through the air, and Ling Xiao brandished the Purple Lightning Sword, which had appeared in his hand at some unknown moment.

Boom!

The crystal flashed repeatedly until it finally shattered into dust.

At that instant, the crowd on the plaza outside the Test Hall nearly dropped their jaws to the ground.

Although everyone knew Ling Xiao was strong, they had never imagined he could completely pulverize the crystal.

”Holy smokes, that’s way too powerful, isn’t it? The Attack Branch’s tests have never seen anything like it; his attack power is just too formidable. It’s even more terrifying than some of the Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.”

”He really is the man that Feng Yanran has her eyes on, impressive!”

”Yeah, just with this attack alone, he’s extremely fearsome. Huh? Is he going to continue testing?”

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Ling Xiao emerged from the first gate with the result ”Special Excellent,” because there was no higher grade to give.

Afterwards, he entered the second gate to test his defense.

The defense test was likewise not very complicated. An instructor would launch an attack, gradually increasing its power, and evaluations would be given according to different levels.

”Teacher, please start with a Special Excellent level attack.”

Ling Xiao smiled slightly and said respectfully.

”Are you sure? You could get hurt!”

The teacher furrowed his brows.

”Positive, but I hope you’ll be a little careful, Teacher. My defense is somewhat special and could potentially injure someone.”

Ling Xiao explained earnestly.

He truly meant this as a warning.

However, the teacher thought Ling Xiao was underestimating him.

The students outside were also expressing their dissatisfaction.

”This kid’s arrogance has gotten to his head. Even if your defense is Special Excellent, it’s impossible to injure a teacher of the Three Talents Heavenly Realm.”

”That’s right, his cultivation level doesn’t seem that strong; he’s probably getting ahead of himself.”

”Kid, be careful! Ha!”

The testing instructor threw a punch with formidable power.

Crimson Sun Feather Robe!

A layer of clothing, woven from repeating flashes of light, suddenly appeared around Ling Xiao.

Boom!

The instructor’s punch landed on the Crimson Sun Feather Robe, and Ling Xiao didn’t budge an inch; however, the instructor suddenly stepped back, his right hand somewhat charred.

Of course, it wasn’t that the instructor lacked strength, but because he was currently testing Ling Xiao’s defense, he had only used a Special Excellent level attack and not his full attack power.

”Kid, you’re really something. With such a strong defense, why don’t you just join our Defense Branch?”

The testing instructor didn’t get angry but said excitedly instead.

”Forget it, his attack power is also top-notch. This kid is born for the Comprehensive Branch. This time, the Vice President really found a treasure.”

An instructor from the Attack Branch stepped into the Defense Branch’s testing room and approached, laughing.

”Top-notch in both branches, now this is a talent that even Phoenix God College doesn’t have.”

The Defense Branch teacher sighed.

”Thank you, teachers, for your high praise. I should go to test the next item now.”

Ling Xiao bowed his hands and then, with outstanding results, walked out of the second gate and entered the third.

”He’s actually choosing to enter the Secret Arts Branch’s gate; is there something wrong with his head?”

”Yeah, to pass the Secret Arts Branch’s assessment, you must have strong soul power, which is rare and unconventional among martial artists.”

”Maybe he has a special aptitude.”

”I don’t think so. His attack is so strong, his defense is so good, how could his soul power also be that strong!”

Many people thought this was illogical.

Indeed, it was illogical, but Ling Xiao was just such an existence.

In the crowd, Feng Yanran smiled helplessly: ”It looks like he really intends to participate in all the tests of the six systems.”

”Is there something wrong with that?” Ji Mingkong asked.

”Don’t you think he’s a bit overconfident, a bit insatiable?” Feng Yanran, seeing Ji Mingkong and Lan Yu’er and others actually thought this was very normal, couldn’t help but ask.

”You really don’t understand him. For him, such things are just part of his routine; just keep watching, and you’ll know.”

Lan Yu’er smiled and shook her head: ”He’s more terrifying than you imagine.”

Feng Yanran somewhat disbelieved: ”The soul strength test is completely different from the other tests; it has the lowest pass rate.”

Lan Yu’er and the others said nothing more, just looked at the big screen.

When Ling Xiao stepped into the third gate, the teachers from the Attack and Defense Branches also squeezed in.

The soul strength test was indeed different from the other two types.

”Before the test, I need to remind you that this is a special magical treasure called ’Magic Cube World.’ The moment your skin touches it, you’ll immediately enter into an illusion experience, facing various different worlds, either a dream-like Heavenly Court or a bloody and dire Hell.

Once you get deep into it, you may never come out again, so if you can’t come out after half a shichen, we will forcefully interrupt the test. This will damage your soul but save your life.”

Right, the soul strength test was very dangerous.

The Magic Cube World was terrifying.

”The disciple understands.”

Ling Xiao nodded, his expression unchanged.

”So let’s start. As soon as you enter the illusion realm, we will begin to time you. The sooner you can come out of the illusion realm, the better the score you’ll get. After half a shichen, it means you’re not qualified.”

The test teacher was a bit surprised because very few disciples could remain so calm after hearing his words.

However, he quickly regained his composure and announced the start of the test.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and touched the Magic Cube World with one hand.

Buzz!

In an instant, Ling Xiao found himself on the battlefield within the Holy City.

Everywhere were martial artists from the True Demon Empire, and in the air, intertwined were the shrill screams of agony and thunderous cries of battle.

The setting sun cast a blood-red glow over the world.

Beside him, a twelve-year-old young warrior had his head chopped off with a single strike, blood splattering onto Ling Xiao’s face, and he could even smell the unwillingness mixed within the blood.

Then, the sword that killed the young boy swung towards him...

From the outside, Ling Xiao’s body seemed to twitch a few times before becoming still.

A quarter shichen had already passed.

”Too bad, not outstanding!”

The Attack Branch test teacher shook his head.

”That’s about right; his attack and defense are both beyond outstanding, so it’s normal for the soul power to be a weak point.”

The Defense Branch teacher said with a smile.

Inside the Magic Cube World, Ling Xiao, bathed in blood, held the head of an enemy in his hand, stood alone on the vast land, surrounded by nothing but corpses and blood.
