Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

For those with stronger cultivation, it naturally leads to a sense of superiority.

Add to that the influence of jealousy, and someone finally made a mocking remark in this Fifth Layer.

However, Ling Xiao ignored it; he was still willing to listen to Fengming Wuyang.

Being new here, he didn’t want to attract too much attention nor stir up trouble.

Yet his tolerance was mistaken for weakness.

The one who mocked him grew bolder.

He directly jumped over, blocking everyone’s path, and even reached out to grab Ji Luoyu.

While doing this, he cursed obscenely, ”Little lady with a pretty boy, you’re both no good. How about coming to play with your grandpa instead?”

Tolerable from unacceptable.

”My apologies, Senior Fengming Wuyang.”

A cold flash flickered in Ling Xiao’s eyes.

If the other party had merely vented jealousy, he could ignore it.

But now, the actions and words were truly unbearable.

If he endured this, wouldn’t he become a gutless turtle?

”Ah~~”

A piercing scream echoed in the Fifth Layer.

Without any warning or nonsense, Ling Xiao acted and severed the wretch’s arm.

Yet it was not over.

He advanced further, swiftly cutting off the other’s tongue.

”Ah~~”

A piercing scream rang out once more.

The entire Fifth Layer instantly turned much colder.

Ling Xiao coldly glanced at the wretch writhing on the ground in pain and then said, ”I disdain to bother with you, not because I fear you!”

Then, he strode towards the Sixth Layer.

Ji Luoyu’s heart was filled with sweetness.

She knew Ling Xiao never considered her his woman, yet even so, his willingness to stand up for her made her very happy.

This showed that the man still cared about her.

”Is he actually going to the Sixth Layer? Looks like someone hit a hard wall.”

”Indeed, for the Sixth Layer, one must have reached at least the Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth Level. He seems so young yet has such cultivation; today’s youth are truly terrifying.”

”Surely he’s here to participate in the White Tiger Summit.”

”Yes, such a young genius can only come for the White Tiger Summit. It seems this year’s summit will be more exciting than ever.”

Ling Xiao didn’t hear these comments; the guards of the Sixth Layer were at the Yin-Yang Realm, Fifth Level.

For Ling Xiao, it posed no difficulty at all.

He didn’t even use any inner strength and easily defeated the puppet with one punch.

”Luo Yu, what was the highest level your father took you to?”

Upon reaching the Sixth Layer, Ling Xiao suddenly asked.

”When my father was in Tianhai City, he often took me here. The highest level was probably the Tenth Layer.

But later, his work focus shifted elsewhere, so we never came again. That was ten years ago.”

Ji Luoyu thought for a moment and said.

Ling Xiao knew Ji Qing was powerful, but he didn’t expect him to be so formidable. From Ji Luoyu’s words, Ji Qing’s cultivation had already reached the Yin-Yang Realm Ninth Level ten years ago.

How strong would he be now?

”Alright, I’ll do my best to let you taste the delicacies your father once enjoyed.”

Ling Xiao nodded.

Since he came here, he wanted to challenge his limits.

The Eighth Layer was his expected highest goal.

However, the guards here were merely humanoid puppets. Compared to martial artists, puppets naturally had weaker combat power, even if their cultivation was higher. After all, their battle skills were not comparable to human martial artists’.

So, there might be a real possibility of reaching the Tenth Layer without using the Tyrant Sky Martial Soul.

”Continue!”

On the Seventh Layer, Ling Xiao used a bit of inner strength.

On the Eighth Layer, facing a humanoid puppet at the Yin-Yang Realm Seventh Level, Ling Xiao focused more on technique in combat. The fight took a bit longer but was resolved within ten minutes.

And the consumption wasn’t significant.

”There’s potential! Perhaps I can reach even higher!”

Through the battle with the Eighth Layer humanoid puppet, Ling Xiao felt his assumption was correct. These humanoid puppets, though strong, were brainless, making his fight rather easy.

His goal was set even higher.

”Luo Yu, perhaps I can take you to the Eleventh Layer, but it’s just a possibility, not a certainty. Don’t get your hopes too high.”

Ling Xiao smiled and said.

”That’s fine. Reaching the Tenth Layer already makes me very happy.”

Ji Luoyu was easy to please.

On the Ninth Layer, facing a humanoid puppet at the Yin-Yang Realm Eighth Layer, Ling Xiao used about fifty percent of his power to defeat it.

Of course, this time the duration extended longer, lasting a quarter of an hour.

”How about resting on this layer before proceeding?”

Though confident, Ling Xiao wasn’t arrogant. Continuing in a poor state would likely be very challenging.

After some thought, he suggested.

”Of course, we’ve been running for so long without enjoying anything. How about we indulge with some fine wine, eat a few fruits, soak in a hot spring, and then proceed?”

”Soak in a hot spring?”

Ling Xiao was puzzled; this Ninth Layer seemed no different from the others. Where was there a place to soak in a hot spring?

”Just follow me,”

Ji Luoyu chuckled and led Ling Xiao, Fengming Lian, and Leng Mei to an area near the counter in the Ninth Layer.

”One jar of 900 Years Ice Lotus Wine, a large plate of 900 Years Scarlet Fruit, and a bowl of 900 Years Red Dates Porridge for recovery.”

”Is 900 Years Red Dates Porridge edible?”

Ling Xiao frowned and asked.

”Country bumpkin!”

Upon hearing Ling Xiao’s question, two martial artists seated at a nearby table mocked and laughed heartily.

But Ling Xiao ignored them.

Here, he indeed counted as a country bumpkin.

”Brother Ling, you misunderstood. The so-called 900 Years Red Dates Porridge refers to red dates specially cultivated for 900 years, combined with other ingredients to make the porridge, not porridge that’s been aged for 900 years.”

Ji Luoyu clarified and then turned to the beautiful woman at the counter, ”Also, add a hot spring, and send the food to the hot spring.”

”Would you like to take the test?”

The beautiful woman asked.

”No need.”

Ji Luoyu shook her head, then looked at Ling Xiao and said, ”Brother Ling, this time it’s on me; when we reach higher levels, you can treat me then.”

”Alright.”

Ling Xiao nodded, seeing no problem, but was startled when Ji Luoyu paid the bill.

For just these three appetizers and a hot spring, Ji Luoyu was charged 700,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones.

It was outrageously expensive!

Even meticulously refined pills often didn’t cost that much.

It was daylight robbery.

While Ji Luoyu paid, the eyes of the two martial artists who had mocked Ling Xiao lit up, and they both smiled coldly.

But nobody noticed their expressions.

Yet Ling Xiao felt the aura of those two seemed somewhat familiar.
