Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1480: Chapter 1483: Epiphany: Mystic Art Overlap

In the past, Ling Xiao relied on the Body of Light to evade mortal attacks, but he never thought of leveraging it to enhance his speed.

Today, he planned to give it a try.

The Fourth Secret of Light—Rapid Light Movement!

With the overlay of two Mystic Arts, Ling Xiao’s body suddenly transformed completely into a beam of light, rushing towards the distance.

It wasn’t as if it were a beam of light.

It was truly a beam of light.

In the deep sea, his speed was not hindered at all, and he made a round trip in an instant.

This was incredibly fast.

Although in this state, he couldn’t attack, being fast enough was sufficient!

Moreover, when he wanted to attack, he had other methods.

Once a single point is understood, all points are understood!

Ling Xiao has always been a man of great intelligence.

From the battle with the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf, he realized that using Rapid Light Movement in the state of the Body of Light could significantly increase his speed.

Then what about using Shadow Step in the state of the Shadow Body?

The original Shadow Step, though it could temporarily cause Ling Xiao to disappear from the enemy’s line of sight,

he still existed.

As long as the opponent’s perception was strong enough, they could detect his presence.

But now, the situation was completely different.

He was no longer in his human form, but a true shadow.

Even if detected, he was merely a shadow, and the opponent had no way to deal with him.

Yet he could effortlessly launch a sneak attack.

Returning to his true form, Ling Xiao felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Though this wasn’t an improvement in combat strength or cultivation level, this new insight brought him an entirely different battle strategy.

It turned out that he had been making a mistake all along.

He assumed that only Mystic Arts of the same stage could be combined to create new moves.

But he didn’t know that Mystic Arts of different stages could also be used in combination. If matched well, they could produce unexpected effects.

”Awooo~~”

The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf suddenly howled.

Ling Xiao turned his head and saw the Red Crystal Shark, unable to attack the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf, charging towards him instead.

This guy seemed to understand the law of the jungle after all.

But was Ling Xiao truly the weak prey?

There was a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

There was another overlay he hadn’t tried yet, and he intended to test it on this Red Crystal Shark.

Ling Xiao looked at the Red Crystal Shark.

The Fifth Secret of Light and Shadow—Tai Chi Sword Body!

The Fourth Secret of Light and Shadow—Light and Shadow Evade!

Light and Shadow Evade itself possessed attack power, but it wasn’t strong enough. Its main function was the combination of Rapid Light Movement and Shadow Step, hiding one’s tracks during high-speed movement.

But the Tai Chi Sword Body was a move with formidable attack power.

In that instant, Ling Xiao’s body transformed into a Tai Chi Sword Body composed of the Power of Light and Shadow Power, unleashing terrifying destructive power.

But the speed wasn’t fast enough!

Nor was it concealed enough!

What if the two were combined?

A cold smile appeared on Ling Xiao’s lips.

The next moment, his figure suddenly vanished.

The charging Red Crystal Shark felt an enormous threat and suddenly turned to flee.

”Since you’ve come, why bother escaping?”

A cold voice echoed in the void, impossible to discern its direction.

Then, in the pitch-black seabed, a ray of sword light suddenly appeared.

It was right at the belly of the Red Crystal Shark.

Rip!

With the sound of something tearing, the massive body of the Red Crystal Shark was sliced in half, its blood dyeing the seawater red.

For challenging him, a price had to be paid.

Whether a Martial Artist or a beast!

Although the Red Crystal Shark was a beast of the Eighth Cave Heaven Realm, Ling Xiao, having reached the Seventh Cave Heaven Realm, found it relatively easy to defeat a being one level above him.

After all, in terms of inner strength, body, technique, or battle skills, he far surpassed the opponent.

”Woo woo!”

The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf came running over, excitedly circling around Ling Xiao several times.

Ling Xiao’s speed was known to it, but such speed as today, it truly had never seen before.

In just a few days, this young man surpassed it right under its eyes, making it feel quite embarrassed as an Ancient Ferocious Beast.

”Yin Yue, don’t worry. This Red Crystal Shark’s body should help you advance to the Eighth Cave Heaven Realm smoothly. I’ll support you.”

Having already experienced the test of life and death, Ling Xiao had no reason to doubt the loyalty of the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf.

In situations where strengthening the other’s power was possible, he would do his best, as this meant gaining another powerful ally.

”Awooo awooo~~”

The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf licked Ling Xiao’s hand in excitement.

For it, life under the Hundred Insect Demon King was truly miserable. Not only did the Hundred Insect Demon King not help to enhance its power, but she also found ways to suppress it.

The reason was simple indeed.

That guy feared it would betray her if its power grew too fast.

What a joke, that Old Witch never understood the concept of empathy or what true mutual understanding meant.

Ling Xiao set up an array formation around the body of the Red Crystal Shark for refinement, called—the Star Absorbing Magic Array.

This array formation allows Martial Artists to more easily absorb the energy within other Martial Artists or beasts.

”Yin Yue, obediently sit there. Everything I do next is for your sake. Even if you feel uncomfortable, you must endure. Just trust me. If you can’t, you can give up now. I don’t want to waste my efforts halfway.”

Ling Xiao looked at the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf, speaking very seriously.

”Woo woo!”

The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf nodded and then quietly crouched there, ready to accept this ritual from Ling Xiao.

There’s no choice, as beasts don’t cultivate on their own, nor do they have cultivation methods.

Most beasts have only two ways to increase their power.

One is by devouring other beasts or consuming some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures;

The other is through the automatic absorption of the essence of the sun and moon.

But regardless of which method, the effect is too slow, and both methods are too primitive.

Only with the assistance of human Array Formation Masters and Alchemists can beasts truly undergo a qualitative increase in their enhancement speed.

It must be said, the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf was fortunate.

It encountered Ling Xiao.

Not only an Alchemist but also an Array Formation Master.

And both were of high standards.

Quietly crouching there, the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf suddenly felt its body seemed to be swelling continuously.

As if it were about to explode.

It wanted to leap up, wanted to flee.

But in the end, it obediently stayed there, enduring the pain.

It chose to trust Ling Xiao, so it had to persist to the end. If it gave up halfway, perhaps Ling Xiao wouldn’t help it like this in the future.

Fortunately, this pain lasted less than a quarter of an hour.

The body of the Red Crystal Shark eventually became just a pile of residue.

All true essence was fully absorbed by the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf.

At this moment, the light on the body of the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf was even brighter.

”Breakthrough?”

”Yes, breakthrough.”

Through soul communication, Ling Xiao confirmed the breakthrough of the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf, and he also let out a sigh of relief.

What he did was, in fact, just an experiment.

Though it wouldn’t pose any risk to the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf, failure wasn’t what he desired.
