Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1932: Chapter 1935: Clash of Titans: Ling Xiao Battles the Princess Consort

Of course, Joshua Long’s slight advantage in cultivation level over Ling Xiao probably won’t last long.

Joshua Long is well aware of Ling Xiao’s situation; the power for a breakthrough has long been reached, all that’s needed is an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Each time he breaks through, he needs to continuously accumulate power, meaning that whenever Brother Ling wants to break through, he can do so at any time.

The only reason he’s not breaking through is because the timing isn’t right.

And he can’t compare to others.

This really shows how comparing oneself to others can be infuriating.

”Next, there will still be two hours for rest, so make sure to recover well.”

Morgan Lawless Heaven glanced at the crowd and announced.

Hearing this, the audience all started to run off into the distance to take the time to use the restroom and grab some food.

Once the real duel starts later, there won’t be time for that.

Ling Xiao walked over to Dan Feng’s side, seeing Dan Feng’s ashen face, he sighed and said, ”Why, oh why? Why must you clash so hard with Little Dot?”

”Haha, what you’re saying is not right, Brother Ling. Though I was injured fighting hard against him, the bottleneck in my cultivation level was shattered, and I’ve broken through once again.”

Dan Feng smiled with a hint of misery on his face.

”Ah, if you’re dead, what use is a breakthrough? They say I’m crazy, but I think you’re crazier still.”

Ling Xiao sighed.

”Well, when you go crazy, I can’t compare.”

Dan Feng shook his head.

Ling Xiao’s feats back in the Phoenix God Empire were something he had witnessed and remembered clearly; a true madman, none other than Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor.

”Alright, enough said, just focus on recovering now, strive to secure a top ten spot through the revival match.”

Ling Xiao patted Dan Feng gently, then returned to his own seat.

”Brother Ling, who else do you need me to take care of next? Tell me, after all, we’re all in the same boat, no need for courtesy.”

As Ling Xiao sat down, Sun Leng Chan smiled and said.

”Just pick someone you can win against; for this round, I choose the Princess Consort!”

Ling Xiao originally had three people to choose from: a Little Dot, a Lei Mang, and the Princess Consort.

But Lei Mang was defeated by Mu Wan Shuang.

Little Dot cannot be chosen as he’s within the top ten.

So he could only choose the Princess Consort.

”You’re putting us in a pickle now, none of the upcoming opponents are easy to deal with; maybe I should just go with Xiao Hong Yue.”

Sun Leng Chan laughed as she spoke to Red Moon, who had just run over to find Ling Xiao.

”Sure, big sister, but you may not be able to beat me though.”

Red Moon said with a playful smile.

”Don’t rush to decide yet. I reckon there might be a slight change in the rules this time, because there are only seventeen people left, and with one bye, there would be sixteen.

If the top ten all have selection rights and cannot choose from within the top ten martial artists, then there aren’t enough to choose from.”

Ling Xiao said with a smile.

”True enough.”

Sun Leng Chan sighed.

If there is a choice, maybe she could have some fun with Red Moon, but if not, there may be no hope.

”In any case, let’s each leave it to fate; in the final battle, no one can help another, and there’s basically no weaklings, it’s all down to oneself.”

Ling Xiao was rather carefree because no matter how the rules changed, as the first place in this treasure hunt, he held an advantage.

Therefore, there was no possibility for him to face Tianai Ba Tu, Phoenix Feiye, or Lei Lie.

”Yeah, we’ve come this far, what’s there to fear?”

Joshua Long grinned and said: ”Even if we lose, it’s worth it.”

The two hours passed quickly, and Dan Feng, who was healing in the sidelines, looked much better.

The audience seats were once again packed, even on distant tree branches, mountain tops crowded with people, making the once desolate Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts bustling with excitement.

”In this match, there will be no selection or draw for the empty spot; the person left unpaired after the match will just be considered as having a bye. Also, the top eight martial artists have the right to choose their opponents and may not challenge those within the top eight, while other rules remain unchanged. Now, let’s begin!”

The only changes were actually just the number of byes and the number of martial artists with privileges, everything else basically stayed the same.

There was nothing worth being concerned about, as Ling Xiao wasn’t intending to need the bye.

”Ling Xiao, choose your opponent!”

Morgan Lawless Heaven looked at Ling Xiao and said.

Ling Xiao nodded, directly walked onto the stage, and he had long decided who to pick.

With a beckoning gesture, he looked at the Princess Consort with disdain and said, ”Get up here, it’s time for you to say goodbye to this world.”

”Ridiculous!”

The Princess Consort stepped onto the stage disdainfully and said to Ling Xiao: ”If I were you, I wouldn’t challenge an opponent I cannot possibly defeat at this time!

I admit you have great talent, a phenomenal growth rate; give you some more opportunities, and you’d likely reach an astounding height.

But as of now, you’re not my match!”

For Ling Xiao to choose her, the Princess Consort was quite delighted.

Ranked outside of the top eight, she had no right to proactively select her opponents and could very well end up facing other top geniuses, a truly terrible scenario.

Now that Ling Xiao picked her, it felt like a stroke of luck.

She never considered Ling Xiao as a worthy opponent.

”You’re quite confident, huh.”

Ling Xiao looked at the Princess Consort and smiled.

”I’m confident in dealing with you, certainly, and I even owe you thanks; if you hadn’t chosen me, who knows what kind of opponent I would have faced.”

The Princess Consort mocked as she looked at Ling Xiao.

”Haha, you won’t be saying that later.”

Ling Xiao chuckled; participating in the King’s Battle so far, he had yet to show his true strength, and the Princess Consort seemed to have him figured out. He really wondered where her confidence came from.

”No, the outcome is already determined!”

The Princess Consort shook her head and said: ”Your fighting style boils down to two points, one is a strong physical defense, and the other is outstanding sword techniques, neither of which are problems for me.

In defense, I am stronger than you!

In sword techniques, I am also better than you!”

”Hahahaha, seems like you know me better than I know myself. No need for more words, let’s see your fighting style, Princess Consort.”

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.

Could there really be someone in this world who thought they saw right through him?

This Princess Consort was either foolish or overconfident.

”You won’t be laughing in a moment!”

The Princess Consort giggled suddenly, and her form flickered as a beautiful jade-like longsword materialized in her hand.

This sword was clearly no ordinary weapon.

”First form of the Jade Sword Technique!”

In that moment, the entire stage was enveloped in green light, terrifying sword intent pulsated and even Ling Xiao’s skin felt a chill.

”Indeed formidable, relying solely on defense wouldn’t stop this woman’s sword techniques, interesting.”

Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
