Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1337: Chapter 1337: Administering Spirit Pills Again

Returning to Qingxu College, the first thing Ling Xiao did was visit Ji Mingkong.

At this moment, Ji Mingkong, though weakened, was not despondent.

Moreover, her Heavenly Pulse seemed to have been reconnected by someone. Although she had to start cultivating anew, at least she was no longer a complete cripple.

”Thank you.”

Ji Mingkong had already heard about what happened outside and was quite happy.

In fact, in terms of relationships, she wasn’t as close to Ling Xiao compared to Leng Mei, Lan Yu’er, or Dai Yuling.

But Ling Xiao went as far as to kill Ji Mingxing for her, and that ignited a determination in her heart to recover at all costs.

”Thank me for what? When we went to Northern Desert City, didn’t you also fight on the battlefield for me and my friends?”

Ling Xiao smiled and said, ”This is just what I should do. Besides, here are a few pills for you. Although your cultivation was destroyed, due to your experience and foundation, your body is still compatible. By forcibly using these pills, you can break through to the Transcendent Realm or even the Heavenly Man Realm.

Once you advance to the Heavenly Man Realm, you must cultivate on your own. Of course, you can still use pills as supplements. I estimate that within a month, you’ll recover your former cultivation level and definitely be ready for the Dragon-Phoenix Selection. I have great faith in you.”

”Such overwhelming kindness cannot be repaid with mere words.”

Ji Mingkong wanted to cry but ultimately restrained herself.

The best way to repay such a favor was simple: once her cultivation was restored, she would assist Ling Xiao.

”What are you thanking me for? Aren’t we friends?”

Ling Xiao smiled and directed his gaze toward the others in the room.

Lan Yu’er, Dai Yuling, Dai Yaoling, Joshua Long, Feng Yanran, Yinɡ Wu Ya.

The Zhao siblings had already returned to the Heavenly Dragon Continent. As members of the Northern Han Kingdom’s royal family, Ling Xiao needed them to stabilize the kingdom, which is why they weren’t present here.

The remaining individuals had all made progress in their cultivation over the past six months.

Among them, Joshua Long had progressed the fastest.

A youth from the Dragon Clan, his talent was truly terrifying, and his cultivation speed was astonishing.

Currently, he had reached the Pinnacle of the First Heavenly Realm and wasn’t far from breaking through to the Second Dongtian Realm.

Without Ling Xiao, he would undoubtedly be the strongest disciple in Qingxu College right now.

Originally, Ji Mingkong’s strength was only slightly inferior to his, and she was stronger than Ji Mingxing. Unfortunately, she had been crippled.

Lan Yu’er, Feng Yanran, and Yinɡ Wu Ya formed the second tier of strength. The two of them had reached the Half-step Cave Sky Realm breakthrough stage, which was quite impressive.

Dai Yuling and Dai Yaoling were in the third tier. Both of them were at the Pinnacle of Ten Directions Heaven.

”Hmm, not bad. Over the past six months, you haven’t wasted any time. I’m quite pleased. It just so happens that I brought two types of combined pills this time. One of them offers Heavenly Realm Martial Artists a 70-80% chance of breaking through one to two realms. You may take them.”

As he spoke, Ling Xiao retrieved the pills.

When he refined these pills, he naturally hadn’t forgotten about his closest companions.

Everyone took the pills without hesitation.

There was no need to refuse.

Only by improving their strength could they help Ling Xiao more. Otherwise, they would merely become burdens, something none of them wanted.

What’s more, with the Dragon-Phoenix Selection fast approaching, their Heavenly Dynasty Empire naturally wanted to compete for spots.

”Senior Brother Ling, what realm have you reached now?”

Joshua Long couldn’t resist voicing his curiosity.

He had wanted to ask during Ji Mingxing’s wedding, but now he was even more eager to know.

After all, Ling Xiao’s displayed combat power was terrifyingly strong.

”Is that even worth asking? It’s obvious he’s already advanced to the Cave Heaven Realm. Otherwise, how could he kill Harry Peng, the Phoenix Prince, so easily?”

Yinɡ Wu Ya answered.

Ling Xiao smiled but didn’t give away the answer, saying, ”You’ll find out my cultivation level during the Dragon-Phoenix Selection.”

Seeing he wasn’t going to reveal it, no one pressed further.

The reason Ling Xiao kept his realm a secret was that even he wasn’t sure himself.

While in the Divine Capital of Tiandynasty, he found the Human King Notes inside the Imperial Jade Seal and tried cultivating according to its methods.

Afterward, he entered an extremely peculiar state.

His exact cultivation realm was difficult to pinpoint.

It seemed that he hadn’t yet integrated this state into his cultivation, which required a very specific opportunity to succeed.

Initially, he had thought Ji Mingxing might challenge him.

But unfortunately, defeating Ji Mingxing was far too easy—there was no pressure at all.

What Ling Xiao needs now is pressure, the kind that threatens death!

Few people knew this, but his frenzied attacks on Ji Mingxing and Harry Peng were linked to his cultivation bottleneck.

If he didn’t resolve his current vague, elusive state, his cultivation might forever stagnate.

To break through, he had to push himself to the brink of death!

Looking at Ling Xiao, everyone couldn’t help but feel a bit wistful.

Joshua Long, Lan Yu’er, and Dai Yuling were somewhat unsurprised. They already knew Ling Xiao’s talent was extraordinary. Even if he truly advanced to the Cave Heaven Realm, it wouldn’t be shocking.

But Ji Mingkong, Yinɡ Wu Ya, and Feng Yanran felt differently.

Especially Feng Yanran—back when Ling Xiao first arrived in the Phoenix God Empire, his cultivation had only been at Sky Human Realm - One Thread Heaven.

Who would’ve thought that in merely a year, he could now easily kill martial artists of the First Cave Heaven Realm?

Ji Mingkong and Yinɡ Wu Ya were similarly amazed. During the Martial Arts Festival, although Ling Xiao took first place, he wasn’t much stronger than Ji Mingkong.

Now, he had completely surpassed Ji Mingkong and Yinɡ Wu Ya, becoming a true prodigy.

Ling Xiao’s talent was something to be revered.

The Cave Heaven Realm—a realm countless martial artists pursued for power.

Entering this realm meant truly stepping into the fold: acquiring one’s own Cave Realm and gaining a longer lifespan.

Joshua Long, blessed by his lineage as a Dragon Clan member, was understandable.

Ji Mingkong, carrying the King of Humanity Bloodline, was also plausible.

But what about Ling Xiao? What made him so special that his cultivation speed was astounding?

Clearly, there were secrets surrounding Ling Xiao.

None of those present asked about them.

They trusted Ling Xiao would share when he was willing, without the need for probing.

”Let’s go to the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda. After consuming the pills, you can enter seclusion and cultivate. I’ll personally stand guard for you!”

Ling Xiao knew that ever since he left, the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda was practically monopolized by Phoenix God Academy as their exclusive cultivation site.

Only Joshua Long and Ji Mingkong dared to go there to train. Most of the disciples from Qingxu College could only cultivate within their own academy, maintaining a sense of helplessness.

Now, with Joshua Long having broken through to the Cave Heaven Realm, cultivating at the Tianyuan Treasure Pagoda held little meaning for him. Qingxu College had specially arranged a secret realm for him.

Despite Qingxu College’s current decline, it remained a prestigious institution with deep foundations. High-quality secret realms were still available.

And these secret realms were of impeccable quality.
