Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1958: Chapter 1961: The Ranking Battle Begins: The Power of the Magic Mirror

Due to the change in rules, each person must battle against the other eighteen. Therefore, all possibilities could arise in the upcoming battles.

”Additionally, I need to remind you that the King Ranking Battle is live-streamed through the Law Tower to the Dragon and Phoenix Continent, the White Tiger Continent, and the nearby islands.

In other words, almost all the martial artists from these two continents are focusing on your every battle.

Your family, your friends, your sect, they’re all watching your performance.

Glory is right in front of you. Whoever can claim the top position will be revealed in this final king ranking battle.

Also, the victory conditions remain the same as before—killing the opponent, knocking them off the stage, or if the opponent surrenders.

Remember, if your opponent surrenders, you must stop attacking, or it will be seen as breaking the rules, and we can intervene to stop you.

Do you all understand?”

”Understood!”

These rules have been the same since the beginning of the King’s Battle, so there’s not much to say, everyone understands.

If faced with a truly unbeatable opponent, you can completely give up. While it might result in fewer points, it won’t cost your life.

However, once you surrender, it means yielding the top position to someone else, exiting the championship contention.

”It’s good that you understand. Now, let the ranking battle officially begin. The martial artists who enter the top ten through the main competition still have the priority to choose.

You can pick opponents you can easily defeat, but note that you cannot pick the same opponent in each round. I think that goes without saying.

No matter how you choose, pick someone who hasn’t fought.

Moreover, if a martial artist above you challenges someone, you cannot challenge that person in this round. This is also to make the battles fairer.

Also, the avoidance rule is inactive, and the top ten martial artists can challenge each other.

After each battle ends, there is a five-minute break. It’s short, so make good use of it.”

Morgan Lawless Heaven has explained the rules clearly enough. Apart from the points system, there don’t seem to be many changes, so it’s not too complicated.

It’s just that the break time has shortened, which will test the martial artists’ recovery ability, physical strength, inner strength, and soul power.

Only those who reach the optimal comprehensive qualities are worthy of claiming the first place in the White Tiger Summit.

”Any questions?”

Morgan Lawless Heaven asked finally.

”Since there are no questions, let the battle begin now, Ling Xiao, choose your opponent!”

Morgan Lawless Heaven looked at Ling Xiao and said.

No matter if Ling Xiao was stripped of the opportunity for the Trial Grounds, he was still the first in the Treasure Hunt Battle.

The first one to battle is naturally him.

Ling Xiao slowly walked onto the stage, looking somewhat listless.

At this moment, except for a few friends, almost all eyes were on him.

Clearly, he is the only one who didn’t benefit from the Trial Grounds. If you’re not bullying him, who else could you bully?

Ling Xiao swept his gaze across the crowd.

Apart from his people, the weakest among the crowd was Jun Moqing of the Zhengyi Sect.

Anyway, he’s going to challenge everyone this time, so there’s no need to pick strong opponents right away; choosing easy ones is naturally smarter.

”Jun Moqing, come up.”

Ling Xiao waved his hand, shouting to Jun Moqing.

”Though I wasn’t your opponent before, after receiving help from the Xuanwu Divine Hall, my cultivation level and strength have improved. Now, battling you, I have sixty percent confidence!”

Jun Moqing was not intending to surrender.

If Ling Xiao’s strength had also improved, he might have surrendered immediately, because challenging when knowing you are outmatched would only waste battle power, and the five-minute break is simply not enough.

But now, he feels confident that he might be able to defeat Ling Xiao.

”Since you are so confident, come up then.”

Ling Xiao slightly smiled.

Swish!

Jun Moqing jumped onto the stage, and the fierce sword qi instantly burst out, indeed much stronger than before.

”Wow, he was only taken by the Divine Envoy for ten days, yet his strength improved so much. Truly envy these people who got a chance to join the Xuanwu Divine Hall, why am I not so lucky?”

”Exactly, we truly have bad luck.”

The crowd sighed in awe, expressing their emotions.

”You can’t say that. Look at Ling Xiao, he underwent no changes. Probably it depends on personal talent and insight.”

Another voice expressed a different opinion.

”Stop arguing, watch the battle or keep babbling?”

A martial artist stronger than them shouted, causing the two to immediately fall silent.

On stage, Ling Xiao didn’t strike immediately. He merely looked at Jun Moqing and said calmly, ”For your own good, surrender. My punches don’t have a measure; you probably won’t recover for the next round.”

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

This Ling Xiao, who gained nothing and whose strength did not improve, is still so arrogant.

Jun Moqing’s strength was not weak to begin with. Now, with aid from the Xuanwu Divine Hall, his strength has greatly improved.

Ling Xiao still dares to say such things?

”Bluffing!”

Jun Moqing’s sword was already gathering power, the terrifying sword intent seemed to vent his dissatisfaction and anger, becoming even more dreadful.

”Truly a dog bites the Human Immortal; doesn’t recognize good intentions. I warned you, but you didn’t listen. Next, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Ling Xiao wouldn’t kill Jun Moqing, but he would definitely injure him heavily.

Because he didn’t want to fight many boring battles, if the strength gap is significant, he hoped the opponent would surrender directly.

”Once I draw my sword, I won’t regret it!”

Jun Moqing was a swordmaster, same as Ling Xiao. The moment his sword was drawn, there was no retreat.

A swordmaster must fear nothing, or his sword would lose its edge.

”Alright, then fight as you wish, you start.”

Ling Xiao stood there, looking at Jun Moqing and said calmly.

”You underestimate people too much.”

Jun Moqing roared, pointing his longsword at Ling Xiao, his body flashed instantly, arriving in front of Ling Xiao in the blink of an eye.

However, when the sword tip was only a foot away from Ling Xiao, he unexpectedly stopped.

He saw a mirror.

The mirror that appeared behind Ling Xiao.

Everyone saw it, but only Jun Moqing saw the image in the mirror.

If he thrust down with this sword, the headless person would be him instead.

The image was so clear, so shocking, it filled him with immense fear.

”What’s going on?”

The audience was somewhat confused.

Ling Xiao suddenly pulled out a mirror; what’s he up to?

As for Jun Moqing, what’s he doing? Why not thrust down with the sword?

Swish!

The crowd was surprised to find Jun Moqing retreating to his original position, with sweat pouring down his forehead, his sword shaking, and his sword intent shrinking.
