Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Why should I let you search? It seems this rule isn’t part of the Eight Immortals Mountain’s assessment regulations, is it?”

Ling Xiao said disdainfully.

”Then it shows you’re guilty of theft!”

Shen Chong shouted.

”Red-mouthed and white-toothed slander, is this what makes a good disciple of the Eight Immortals Mountain? You’re truly not afraid of bringing shame to Eight Immortals Mountain.”

Ling Xiao sneered, ”Fine, you can search, but you must agree to one condition.”

”What’s the condition?”

Shen Chong asked.

”If you find nothing, the second round of assessment, let Zhou Chui duel with me, how about it?”

Ling Xiao glanced at Zhou Chui with a touch of indifference and mockery.

”Alright, I agree.”

Shen Chong couldn’t care less about Zhou Chui’s feelings; the second round of assessments was arranged by him with Lin Mao. Making Ling Xiao fight Zhou Chui was very easy.

”Search away.”

Ling Xiao stood openly, allowing Shen Chong and Lin Mao to search him.

As expected, nothing could be found.

Should anything be found, it would be a ghost.

Things from the Mountain and River World certainly can’t be detected by people with Shen Chong and Lin Mao’s cultivation level.

”Zhou Chui, where is my brother’s Storage Ring you mentioned? Humph, since that’s the case, you’ll battle Ling Xiao in the next round.”

Shen Chong, feeling embarrassed in front of Ling Xiao, put the blame directly on Zhou Chui.

Lin Mao didn’t oppose; the matter was arranged like this.

The second round was actually very simple, twenty people would battle, selecting ten to join Eight Immortals Mountain.

Originally, there were eight spots, but that was only in previous years. This year Eight Immortals Mountain and Tianfeng Group expanded their recruitment.

Although only two spots were added, it was still very advantageous for many people.

Soon, the first nine individuals were decided.

Except for Chen He, the other eight were martial artists of the Three Great Families.

This was actually normal, knowing that those nine town martial artists who acknowledged Zhou Chui as their master were already exhausted by Mo Fei Yu at Blood Cave Stronghold.

And the martial artists of the major families barely expended any energy, so naturally, they could stand out under those circumstances.

The last spot would naturally be decided between Ling Xiao and Zhou Chui.

”I need to go to the restroom!”

Zhou Chui looked at Ling Xiao, recalling the scene when Ling Xiao killed Shen Shi, making his heart uneasy.

He wasn’t Shen Shi; he didn’t wish to die.

Needed to find a way.

”Alright, but you only have five minutes. If you’re not back, it counts as a forfeit.”

Shen Chong impatiently glanced at Zhou Chui and said.

Zhou Chui hurriedly left.

Ling Xiao sat there waiting.

Nearly five minutes later, Zhou Chui finally returned.

Shen Chong and Lin Mao exchanged glances, showing a peculiar expression.

”Ling Xiao is finished.”

Lin Mao sighed helplessly, ”But Zhou Chui doing this, can he really get away with it?”

”There’s no reason he can’t. As long as you act like you haven’t seen anything, after all, the one on stage is Zhou Chui.”

Shen Chong sneered, ”Lin Mao, help me with this favor and you will be greatly rewarded. Although there have been minor grievances between us in the past, that’s a small matter. As long as you keep quiet, I can give you that item you’ve always wanted.”

”Really?”

Lin Mao asked.

”Of course. Anyway, this assessment is just to eliminate Ling Xiao. The rest is genuine; the higher-ups won’t cause trouble for us.”

Shen Chong nodded.

”Alright, since that’s the case, I will trust you! You two, begin.”

Lin Mao stood up, looking at Ling Xiao and Zhou Chui.

Zhou Chui stepped onto the platform, gazing coldly at Ling Xiao, ”Kid, I originally didn’t want to be your enemy, but there’s no excuse for your troubles for Zhou Chui; oh no, trouble for me!”

”You’re not Zhou Chui!”

Ling Xiao said coldly, exposing the secret Shen Chong and Lin Mao were trying to hide.

”Heh, who would believe that? I am Zhou Chui.”

The opponent laughed.

”Alright, since you’re willing to die for Zhou Chui, I, Ling Xiao, will fulfill you. Kill you, and I’ll see who else dares to protect that guy.”

Ling Xiao already saw through; the so-called Zhou Chui in front was disguising with a special human skin mask.

Though his appearance and stature were identical to Zhou Chui, his cultivation level was much higher.

Half-step Yin-Yang Realm, Ten Layer Power, this was the same level as martial artist Chen He.

Fortunately, he broke through before at Blood Cave Stronghold; otherwise, encountering this guy today would be quite troublesome.

”You should be aware, I am not at the same level as him; it’s better to surrender early, or don’t blame me if you die.”

”Zhou Chui” said coldly.

”You don’t need to be polite.”

Ling Xiao replied calmly.

As he spoke, Ling Xiao’s aura erupted fully, breaking the silence on the scene in an instant.

”What! How come this kid broke through again? Is this Six Layer Power cultivation level?”

Shen Chong gritted his teeth, his heart filled with hatred, despising Ling Xiao and fearing any advancement from him.

Yet Ling Xiao’s talent surprised him greatly.

Before this, Ling Xiao had only been at Tenth Cave Heaven Realm cultivation level; how did he suddenly reach the Half-step Yin-Yang Realm, Six Layer Power cultivation level?

This indeed was unbelievable.

”Such a pity, this kind of genius ended up offending the Shaw Clan and Zhou Clan; even I can’t help him.”

Lin Mao sighed helplessly.

Having no enmity with Ling Xiao, the result saddened him.

Such genius not being able to join Eight Immortals Mountain, ending up being killed, was truly a loss to Eight Immortals Mountain.

Yet he couldn’t stop this battle.

Offending both Shaw Clan and Zhou Clan over Ling Xiao was just unwise.

”Half-step Yin-Yang Realm, Six Layer Power cultivation level? No wonder you’re so arrogant, no wonder he’s afraid of you, quite interesting.”

However, you really think with such a level of cultivation you can defeat me?”

”Zhou Chui” was startled but quickly composed himself.

His cultivation level was still much stronger than Ling Xiao’s, making him sure he wouldn’t lose.

”My Flying Flower Soul Destroying Finger is a Low-Level Jade-Grade Martial Technique, and it’s already cultivated to Great Perfection stage.”

Let me test the depth of your abilities with it, though I reckon this finger pointing forward will bring you close to death.”

As he spoke, ”Zhou Chui” raised his right hand, extending his index finger, and behind him unexpectedly emerged a massive flower pistil.

It was like a black rose.

When ”Zhou Chui” condensed his Primordial Power, suddenly the Powerful Energy exploded, the black rose burst open, the petals concentrated at the fingertips like sharp blades, pointing at Ling Xiao.

”A Low-Level Jade-Grade Martial Technique, its power feels far stronger than Shen Shi’s Storm Eagle, impressive, but for me, it doesn’t hold much significance.”

Ling Xiao chuckled lightly, raising the Iron-slice Sword, aiming at ”Zhou Chui.”

Starlight flickered in an instant.

Falling Star Sword Technique, a Star Flash!

In that moment, Ling Xiao’s figure darted out like a ghost charm.
