Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 2012: Chapter 2015: Competing for Talent: Powerhouses from the Xuanwu Continent

In the eyes of others, unless Phoenix Feiye and Tianai Ba Tu’s cultivation levels are rising faster than Ling Xiao’s, they probably won’t be able to catch up with Ling Xiao’s pace in their lifetime.

After all, the rewards for the top-ranked martial artist are more plentiful and better.

As Ling Xiao reached the top, Leng Mei, Joshua Long, and Dan Feng entered the top ten, showcasing the dominance of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire.

The laws of the Dragon and Phoenix Continent are quietly changing.

In the future, martial artists on the Dragon and Phoenix Continent will find cultivation easier, and their advancement will be quicker.

All of this is the result of Ling Xiao and his companions’ efforts.

This shows the impact on the entire continent, the entire nation.

Most participating martial artists were extremely happy, as just entering the King’s Battle means they will receive quite a decent reward.

Of course, some people remained upset.

Phoenix Feiye, Tianai Ba Tu, Feng Ying, Green Hills Separation Fire could not possibly be happy.

Especially Tianai Ba Tu and Phoenix Feiye, they participated in the White Tiger Summit to climb to the top; second or third place means nothing to them.

”Alright, everyone can move around freely now. The top ten martial artists can come with me to the Xuanwu Divine Hall for a banquet.”

Morgan Lawless Heaven announced loudly.

This time, Ling Xiao certainly wouldn’t refuse the banquet, as he had already laid traps within the Xuanwu Divine Hall. If they tried to harm him, he could bring the entire Xuanwu Divine Hall to ruin at any moment.

For now, he’s holding back only to secure the rewards first.

”Hold on!”

At this moment, a voice like thunder suddenly erupted from the sky.

Then, dozens of figures gracefully arrived from afar.

Each moved at an extreme speed, at least to martial artists at the Yin-Yang Realm level.

This was because there were sixty-four figures in total, thirty-six of which were Reincarnation Realm experts, and the rest were Life-taking high-order experts.

This terrifying strength was likely more daunting than the combined forces of the Xuanwu Divine Hall and the Nine Heavens Palace.

Because of this, everyone’s hearts trembled with fear as they looked at these sixty-four terrifying figures.

They wondered who these individuals could be, where they came from, and what their purpose was.

As they appeared, they positioned themselves in the sky, sealing off the escape routes for the top talents on the platform.

An overwhelming pressure was released, causing many in the audience to kneel, trembling uncontrollably.

”What’s going on?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Including Ling Xiao.

No one knew why so many experts had suddenly appeared, nor did anyone know where they came from or why they were here.

This was thirty-six Reincarnation Realm experts plus Life-taking high-order martial artists.

Even a joint force of the Xuanwu Divine Hall and the Nine Heavens Palace couldn’t match such a powerful lineup.

What on earth was happening?

This was everyone’s question.

But even a fool could tell that these sixty-four individuals were definitely not here with good intentions, as they immediately surrounded the participating martial artists.

Obviously, they came targeting those individuals.

Xuan Minɡ still sat there, but with an unpleasant look on his face.

The dignitaries of the Thirteen Halls stood by his side, worried about the sudden emergence of such a powerful and mysterious group.

However, from Xuan Minɡ’s expression, it seemed he recognized these people, but just hadn’t spoken out.

”Why have you traveled all the way from the Xuanwu Continent?”

Xuan Minɡ coldly glanced at the group and asked indifferently.

Although he appeared calm on the outside, he was not at peace inside.

If these sixty-four individuals truly wanted to make a move, he couldn’t stop them, nor could the Xuanwu Divine Hall.

Even joining with the Nine Heavens Palace wouldn’t be enough.

”Xuan Minɡ, no need for nonsense. Don’t you know why we’re here?”

A voice mocked, ”Isn’t your Xuanwu Divine Hall just a force of the Thick Soil Sect? The Thick Soil Sect is on the Xuanwu Continent, as are we.

We are all here to compete for talents. There’s no need to make things plain.”

Hearing this, everyone was astonished.

Is the Xuanwu Divine Hall not originally from the White Tiger Continent?

Wasn’t it said that the Xuanwu Divine Hall was a force born in the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts, passed down for tens of thousands of years?

It’s fake?

Most people from the Four Great Empires and the Zhengyi Sect felt like they had been toyed with and deceived.

Even though they had heard such rumors before, without solid evidence, they had not dared to believe it.

But hearing these words today, it all became clear.

These were Reincarnation and Life-taking Realm experts who had hardly any reason to lie.

”Our Xuanwu Divine Hall never claimed to have originated from the Land of Ten Thousand Thunderbolts; we are simply a branch of the Thick Soil Sect and also a subordinate of the Linglong Palace.”

Xuan Minɡ said very calmly, ”We are recruiting talented disciples for Linglong Palace, so what? Do you think the talents would refuse?”

He wasn’t wrong. Linglong Palace is a major force in the Xuanwu Continent, and if a White Tiger Continent martial artist could join Linglong Palace as a disciple, it definitely wouldn’t be bad for them.

To be honest, if Ling Xiao didn’t have a grudge against the Xuanwu Divine Hall, he wouldn’t refuse this kind of opportunity.

”Haha, you’re straightforward, so let’s join in the fun. There’s no harm in it. These people weren’t cultivated by your Xuanwu Divine Hall; they were geniuses to begin with.

They all have their own sects.

We also come from the Xuanwu Continent, and our sect’s strength is not weaker than Linglong Palace’s, so there’s nothing wrong with letting them join us, right?”

Another voice said from the sky.

”Most of them have already signed contracts to join the Xuanwu Divine Hall. You’re too late.”

Xuan Minɡ spoke coldly.

”Haha, not too late at all. Do you know why we came? We received a message saying that the Xuanwu Divine Hall despicably forced martial artists to sign contracts to join before entering the Trial Grounds.

If they didn’t sign, they would lose the opportunity to participate in the trials.”

That voice continued.

”Utter nonsense, who is maliciously slandering our Xuanwu Divine Hall?”

Xuan Minɡ was furious, but his eyes darted towards Ling Xiao.

Yet thinking again, it didn’t make sense, as Ling Xiao had been continuously participating in matches since leaving the Xuanwu Divine Hall, and couldn’t have had the opportunity to spread the news.

”Old dog Xuan Minɡ, there’s no need to look at me. Although it wasn’t me who spread the news, it is true that you deprived me of trial opportunities because I refused to sign.”

Ling Xiao said coldly.

He had already become rivals to the death with the Xuanwu Divine Hall. It was doubtful he’d even get the first-place reward, so if he had the chance to create trouble for the Xuanwu Divine Hall, why not?

”Hahaha, quite a character. Is this young fellow the first place of this year’s White Tiger Summit? Excellent, excellent, Xuan Minɡ, did you hear that? In front of so many people, do you dare say you didn’t do it?”

The mighty martial artist in the sky laughed heartily, looking at Xuan Minɡ and speaking loudly.
