Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul

Chapter 37: A Gathering of Experts

After registering, there were only two days left before the annual competition.

However, even with only two days, no one wanted to waste any time.

Like Ling Xiao, almost all the registered disciples had entered seclusion, hoping to make some breakthroughs in these two days.

After all, many people had accumulated a lot this year, so the pressure might allow them to suddenly make a breakthrough at the last moment.

In addition, the traces of gang qi the Venerable Sir Ling had bestowed before had a huge effect for many disciples.

Because of this gang qi, some peoples strength had undergone qualitative changes.

Ling Xiao was not alone!

In these two days, Ling Xiao toiled to condense 90% of the gang qi in his third martial vein.

He had no way to progress past the last 10%.

He could only wait until the gang qi pills were refined.

In any case, the annual competition lasted a few days. No one would blame a disciple for making a breakthrough during the competition.

The night before the annual competition

Ling Xiao stopped cultivating to sleep early.

Sleep was the best way to replenish the body.

After crazily cultivating for several days, he truly needed a good rest.

Now, <Soaring Cloud Steps-Flood Dragon Transformation> had already been cultivated to the third layer.

<Bull Demon Technique-Condensed Balefulness> had also been cultivated to the third layer.

Ling Xiao furthered his understanding of these two martial arts.

He discovered that <Bull Demon Technique> was a special internal core technique. After it devoured martial arts, it qualitatively changed them.

For instance, <Meteorite Fist> had become <Bull Demon Technique-Meteorite Baleful Fist>;

<Hundred Steps Flying Sword Technique> had changed into <Bull Demon Technique-Hundred Steps Baleful Sword Technique>.

Furthermore, <Bull Demon Technique-Violent Qi Formula>, <Bull Demon Technique-Return Qi Formula>, <Bull Demon Technique-Pure Yang Scorching Qi>, <Bull Demon Technique-Bull Demon Baleful Strength>, and so on.

By upgrading  <Bull Demon Technique-Condensed Balefulness>, he would strengthen these martial arts. Thus, being unable to cultivate these techniques didnt matter since he could always empower them further. 

Weak martial arts would display an outstanding power. This was his biggest card for achieving victory.

In fact, even without gang qi, he had nothing to fear against ordinary Rank Three Martial Vein martial artists.

Tomorrow, a new legend will be born!

Ling Xiao watched the moonlight outside his room, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

At the same time in a courtyard of the Ling Clans main residence

Under the moonlight, a person in a white robe thrust a sword, and a distant boulder shattered.

The sword light coursed like electricity with an unmatched might!

If this sword move had stabbed the Howling Moon Wolf that had once made the Li Clan disciples suffer a big loss, it might have been severely injured.

Although it looked like a simple sword move, its might was no less than Li Xingyuns Gale Swords.

This sword move could practically sweep through all Rank Three Martial Vein martial artists.

Fenger, you now have a basic understanding of the true essence of <Carefree Stroke Willow Sword>. In the past, this father thickened his face to get you this advanced sword technique, but it was not in vain. People who have reached Peak Rank Three Martial Vein realm and cultivated advanced martial arts to perfection are few and far in between. You can be proud of yourself!

A middle-aged martial artist who seemed 30 or so years old stood not far away from the youth. Seeing the youth achieving great success in his sword technique, he couldnt help but smile in pleasure.

The youth was Ling Feng, the Elite Halls rank three disciple, and that middle-aged man was his father.

Not only that! This son is about to comprehend the secret of converting true qi into gang qi. If I can breakthrough in battle, not even Ling Yihang can enter my eyes!

Ling Feng bragged with a smile.

Lets not mention Ling Yihang, but that kid called Ling Xiao You will easily defeat him now.

The middle-aged man warned.

Ling Xiao? That little beggar? Father, do you truly think that this son cares about him?

Ling Feng snorted, This time, this sons goal is to enter the top ten cliff-ranking list! Ling Xiao is nothing!

Hahaha, you are right; you are right. This father was wrong!

If Ling Feng had felt a hint of fear towards Ling Xiao during the registration, after achieving great success in his cultivation of <Carefree Stroke Willow Sword>, he had overcome it.

In another wooden hut within the Ling Clan

Sweat dripped down Ling Yixues body. 

Nevertheless, in her bright eyes was a hint of excitement.

A person sat on the windowsill, smiling at her.

Yixue, I never thought that you would actually condense gang qi a day before the annual competition. Now, other than Ling Yihang, no one can be your opponent in the Elite Hall!

Ling Feifan, dont call me so intimately. I dont have any relations with you. Dont forget that the top ten of the Elite Hall are qualified to challenge those of the Genius Hall. At that time, I hope you dont lose to me!

The person sitting on the windowsill was unexpectedly Ling Feifan, one of the four noble sons of Heavenly Peak City and the number one genius of the Ling Clan.

Hahaha, Ill be waiting!

Ling Feifan laughed before rising. He said with a deep look, Only you might be able to defeat me. Ah, who asked for me to like you?

Dont be too complacent! This time, Ling Yihang will definitely be a great threat!

Well, Ling Yihang is indeed not bad. I guess he will get into the top three, but if he wants to defeat me Then, hehe, hes too early.

Ling Feifan faintly smiled.

It seems that you have indeed performed a detailed investigation of Ling Yihang, but there is actually one other person who might surprise you.

Ling Xiaos figure suddenly appeared in Ling Yixues mind.

Who? Ling Yihang asked.

After the competition, you will realize that this person might become a strong competitor for you, for me, and also for Ling Yihang.

Oh, I didnt expect Yixue to actually rate someone so highly. Im becoming more and more interested. Well, Im going back. Yixue, do your best! As long as you can enter the top ten of the Elite Hall, you can enter the Genius Halls competition.

Then, Ling Feifans figure swayed and flitted into the night sky.

Uncle Jius Ling Clan residence 

This place screamed of luxury and wealth.

Nevertheless, Ling Jius current complexion was very gloomy.

Chonger, I know you dont really have any hope, but this time, you must get into the top 50! Otherwise, dont come to me hereafter demanding this and that!

Father, I will not only enter the top 50 but also beat that Ling Xiao!

Ling Chong gritted his teeth and replied.

Ling Jiu didnt pay him any attention but rather looked at Ling Tieshou and said, Tieshou, last time you lost to Ling Xiao because you were careless and arrogant. This time, you have achieved great success with <Giant Spirit Divine Palm>. Retrieve your honor by yourself!

Got it, Uncle Jiu!

Ling Tieshous eyes burned with fury as he added: As long as I run into Ling Xiao, I will definitely make him taste humiliation!

On the registration day, he had not yet cultivated <Giant Spirit Divine Palm> to perfection. However, by borrowing the power of pills, he had reached that level.

More important than reaching the top ten, he now had the power to avenge his past loss.

In a secret training room, Ling Yihang suddenly opened his eyes.

Breakthrough! I finally made a breakthrough!

Rank Four Martial Vein! Ling Yihang had actually broken through to Rank Four Martial Vein at this critical juncture. The trace of gang qi given to him by the Venerable Sir Ling, Ling Xiaotian, had truly helped him a lot.

Ling Feifan! Your first seat will change its owner!

Now, among the 1,100 disciples of the Elite and Genius Halls, Ling Yihang only had Ling Feifan in his eyes.

As for other people, he didnt care about them.
