Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 917: Chapter 917: Bold Enough

Furthermore, given a month, Blood Skeleton would definitely think of a way to counter that Body Movement Technique.

But in the same span of a month, how much could your Cultivation Level, Ling Xiao, be enhanced?

At most, you might reach the Late Stage of the First Line of Heaven.

Ordinary people would think this way.

They don’t understand Ling Xiao, nor do they comprehend how terrifying his Alchemy Technique is.

”He might have escaped Blood Skeleton’s pursuit today, but with only three moves, Blood Skeleton’s terror was hardly noticeable.”

”Right, this Ling Xiao is really too arrogant, he has no idea how strong Blood Skeleton can be when truly unleashing his strength.”

”Blood Skeleton might lack character, but his power definitely crushes Ling Xiao. Now, his Cultivation Level has just broken through and isn’t stable yet, which is why his performance was poor. In a month, once he has completely mastered his Five Elements Heaven Level Cultivation, Ling Xiao is truly done for!”

”It’s commendable that he dared to accept Blood Skeleton’s life-and-death duel.”

Initially, the teachers from the security department felt relieved that Ling Xiao had escaped one disaster, but upon hearing that Ling Xiao had accepted Blood Skeleton’s life-and-death duel, they almost jumped up to curse on the spot.

You brat, do you even have a clue?

How big is your courage?

How could you dare agree to something like this?

Fortunately, as teachers, they managed to hold back in the end.

A cold sneer appeared on Blood Skeleton’s previously ashen face.

Today’s situation, if Qingxu College investigated thoroughly, he might receive severe punishment and perhaps no longer have the opportunity to trouble Ling Xiao.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao accepted his challenge of a life-and-death duel.

During this period, Qingxu College couldn’t bother him then, and if he could kill Ling Xiao after a month, Phoenix God College would still value him.

Qingxu College would have no grounds to trouble him then.

After all, Ling Xiao would be dead.

Why not act now?

Because he wasn’t confident he could kill Ling Xiao at the moment.

Although Ling Xiao’s Cultivation Level wasn’t strong, and his strength wasn’t as formidable, his Body Movement Technique was too unpredictable; he must use the coming month to cultivate a secret technique to counter Ling Xiao’s movement.

Moreover, he needed to adapt to his current Cultivation Level.

Thus, a month later would be the optimal time.

He, like the onlookers, truly didn’t believe that Ling Xiao could enhance his Cultivation Level much in just one short month.

”Ling Xiao, a month from now, you better not choose to run, or else your sect, your college will feel disgraced because of you!” Blood Skeleton said coldly.

”As long as you don’t run, it’s fine!” Ling Xiao responded indifferently.

”Hmph, let’s go!”

Blood Skeleton, knowing he couldn’t outtalk Ling Xiao, simply didn’t waste any more breath, signalled to his people, and turned to leave.

No matter how embarrassing today was.

No matter how much face he lost.

He bore it.

All for the sake of humiliating Ling Xiao severely a month later, and to completely morph Ling Xiao’s nonchalant smile into an embarrassed ”dogface”.

Only then could he regain his face and re-establish his prestige.

The onlooking crowd left with talks and laughter.

A month later, there’d be an even bigger spectacle to witness.

Ling Xiao had already given them too many surprises today. If this person was so confident, what shocking strength could he possibly demonstrate after one month?

And that Blood Skeleton, having suffered such humiliation today, what terrifying means would it use to make Ling Xiao’s life worse than death after one month?

They didn’t support either side; they just thought it was fun.

”Ling Xiao, do you realize what you just did?”

After the outsiders had left, a teacher from the security department looked at Ling Xiao with a mix of frustration and disappointment and asked, ”Are you trying to get yourself killed?”

”Teachers, rest assured, I won’t disgrace the college in one month.”

Ling Xiao replied with a smile.

”This kid, that Blood Skeleton has just reached the early stage of Five Elements Heaven. By next month, he will have fully adjusted to this cultivation level. With his talent, even martial artists at the pinnacle of Five Elements Heaven would struggle to defeat him, but what about you? You are merely at the intermediate stage of First Line of Heaven. How will you defeat him in a month?”

Ling Xiao’s expression suddenly turned serious, and he spoke earnestly, ”Wolves living in the Gobi are frail but very ferocious. Wolves raised by humans, on the other hand, end up as dogs. I don’t like a life that’s too comfortable; only in crisis can I unleash my full potential!”

Ling Xiao had always grown up under great pressure; he believed these dangers and crises could instigate a desperate desire to improve his strength.

Without a crisis, then create one!

A too comfortable life would rust his sword and make him forget how to kill.

Hearing this, the security department teacher was at a loss for words.

After a long pause, he simply dropped two words —

”Lunatic!”

Feng Yanran now finally understood why Ling Xiao was so strong.

It wasn’t just talent or potential.

It also included this terrifying wolf-like nature, facing dangers without fear and even taking them head-on, which few people could genuinely achieve.

Most people would have their sharp claws gradually worn down by comfort, becoming obedient dogs, and that would truly be the end.

The incident in front of Qingxu College quickly spread throughout the entire Imperial City.

Because of the Blood Skeleton, this challenge was followed by countless people.

Many began to investigate Ling Xiao’s background, hoping to find out which power stood behind him, otherwise, how could he dare to provoke Phoenix God College time and again?

The results of the investigation surprised them.

Ling Xiao’s rise was like a swiftly ascending supernova, having grown from an oppressed little beggar to the Chosen Son of Heaven of the Heavenly Dragon Continent in just over a year.

After arriving at the Divine Phoenix Continent, he had even been personally invited to join Qingxu College by Feng Qingyan.

These pieces of information could easily be found.

However, facts about Ling Xiao’s true origin and the power behind him seemed to be nonexistent in this world, leaving no clue.

Was someone tampering with the information?

Or did Ling Xiao have no backing at all?

It remained a mystery.

Some persistently continued their investigations, while others simply gave up.

After all, Ling Xiao was going to die by the hands of the Blood Skeleton in a month, so what was the point of digging into a dead man’s past?

Of course, Ling Xiao was unaware of all these matters.

His quick promotion to the intermediate stage of the Sky Human Realm - One Thread Heaven was primarily due to his past accumulations; he had already reached this realm once before.

This was merely a recovery.

But advancing from the Intermediate Stage of the First Line of Heaven was not going to be easy.

This would require not just a favorable place like the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda, but also a large quantity of Spirit Pills.

The Lower-Grade Heavenly Spiritual Elixir was currently the most beneficial for him.

Thus, Ling Xiao planned to personally concoct the Lower-Grade Heavenly Spiritual Elixir.
