Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul

Chapter 52: Seizing First Place

Chi chi chi!

Although it was just a normal punch, the gang qi tore through the air, sending peoples scalps tingling.

Break for me!

Ling Xiao didnt use gang qi and only employed <Bull Demon Technique-Barbarian Bull Demonization> at full strength.

He didnt retreat; he rather advanced. He repeatedly jabbed with his bull horn-like fists. 

In a very domineering manner, he continuously hammered that gang qi-containing fist.

One punch: it didnt retreat!

Then two punches!

Two punches: it didnt retreat!

Then three punches!

In any case, although this ordinary punch of Ling Yihang had terrifying might and would defeat other disciples of the Elite Hall, he could.

His Landscape Martial Soul gave him powerful physical strength and his true qi was several times more resilient than that of martial artists at the same level.

He could break gang qi!

For a moment, the air cracked as smoke and dust flew up.

The clash between the terrifying true qi and gang qi blew away the martial stages banner that weighed more than 200 pounds.

Ling Yihangs expression slightly changed, and he praised, You actually blocked my condensed gang qi fist with just true qi. You can be proud of yourself.

You flatter me! Ling Xiao indifferently replied.

I admit that I underestimated you, but can you stop my next move?

Heavenly Eagle Claw!

This time, Ling Yihang used a martial art: the advanced martial art Heavenly Eagle Claw.

After failing to defeat Ling Xiao in one move, he was indeed somewhat embarrassed. After all, he had spoken a bit too grandly before.

This move was different. He seemed to rise into the air, and his right hand turned into an eagles claw that grasped toward Ling Xiaos head. 

At this moment, Ling Xiao feared that he faced no human but rather a flying demonic beast.

Ling Xiao didnt dare to take this head-on. After all, the other party was using an advanced martial art coupled with gang qi. If he were caught, even if he avoided injury, he might fall into the other partys control.

Swish!

Ling Xiao immediately used Soaring Cloud Steps, and like a flood dragon, he left behind just an afterimage.

Ling Yihangs claw hit the martial stage. The martial stage unexpectedly couldnt bear his might and cracked. 

The onlooking crowd took a deep breath.

If a person had been hit by this claw, wouldnt his bones have surely broken?

Ling Yihang raised his head, wanting to say something. Suddenly, he glimpsed a red light flashing in his peripheral vision. Concentrating on it, he saw a crimson fist.

An advanced martial art?

No, it was more powerful than an advanced martial art!

It approached a peak martial art in power!

A violent fist!

It almost instantly reached him

I never said that I wouldnt make a move!

As Ling Xiaos voice resounded, this fist seemed unavoidable. 

Ling Yihangs eyes shrunk; he realized that he had greatly underestimated his opponent. The other party was terrifying even without using gang qi.

He had to display his true skills; otherwise, he would truly lose face today.

In this second move, he had only used 50% of his power.

Get lost for me!

None of the Elite Hall disciples had ever forced him to this extent!

Including Ling Yixue!

With grievances in his heart, he increased his power to 70% for his next attack.

He was still unwilling to display his full power.

He still only punched out, but it was quite domineering. It directly hit Ling Xiaos fist.

The person who should get lost is you!

Boom!

Without suspense, Ling Yihang was sent flying back while spraying a mouthful of blood. Only after somersaulting a few times in the air did he finally land on the ground.

You!

Ling Yihang eyed Ling Xiao in shock.

Youve condensed gang qi! Moreover, of such strength!

He had miscalculated. He had only used 70% of his power, but Ling Xiao had gone all out with his last fist.

Therefore, in this trade-off, he had naturally lost miserably.

You let me win!

Ling Xiao also felt a bit annoyed. 

Although he had won, he had nearly used up all his gang qi; moreover, he was currently quite uncomfortable. 

Facing Ling Yihang, who had already broken through to Rank Four Martial Vein, his victory had been a fluke.

However, a win was a win.

You lost.

Ling Xiao remarked.

How could he have comprehended gang qi so quickly? Hes clearly a lot stronger than Ling Feng, only inferior to Ling Yihang!

The head judge stood in shock.

Ling Xiao had brought him too many pleasant surprises.

First, his basic martial art had entered sublimity.

Then, there was his <Soaring Cloud Steps>.

After that, it was his true qi breaking gang qi.

And now, in that attack, he had clearly determined that Ling Xiao had almost completely condensed gang qi in all three martial veins.

This was too amazing!

Ling Yihang was honestly unconvinced, but his disposition was a lot better than Ling Fengs.

He took a deep breath and announced, I admit my defeat, but I lost because I underestimated my enemy. This time, we werent able to fight to our hearts content; I hope we can fight again in the finals!

He turned around and left without any pause.

The people familiar with him knew that he must have left to immediately cultivate. This defeat was a galling shame for him. He would definitely regain his dignity in the finals.

Ling Yihang vs. Ling Xiao: Ling Xiao wins!

The head judge excitedly announced the result.

My God, Ling Xiao actually won!

This is truly unexpected. Even Rank Four Martial Vein realm Ling Yihang, who has already reached the gang qi stage, was not Ling Xiaos opponent. This Ling Xiao is too terrifying!

Yes, it seems this years finals will be interesting!

I wonder how far this dark horse will go!

This kid could actually challenge a higher-ranked opponent. Thats too amazing. Ive heard of it before but never seen it.

The dark horse defeated the first ranker of the Elite Hall. Does that mean Ling Xiao is now ranked first in the Elite Hall?

Yes! Thats too amazing!

Although the elimination rounds had finished, people seethed like a volcanic eruption.

Ling Xiao defeating Ling Yihang seemed impossible to many people, but he had definitely succeeded.

Ling Yixue was also excited, unable to calm her heart for a long time.

Half a month ago, Ling Xiao had been a Rank One Martial Vein martial artist. Now, he had already surpassed her!

Even without fighting him, she knew that she was not his opponent.

Her gang qis quantity and quality were inferior to his.

As for Ling Yu, she vomited a mouthful of blood in anger.

Why!

Why!

How could this little beggar become so strong!

Ranked first in the Elite Hall!

Even if Ling Xiao failed to go further in the finals, he had already created a miracle!

This made Ling Yu feel an insuppressible discomfort!

 Ling Xiao! Ling Xiao!

From the audience, a heaven-shocking chant reverberated. Ling Xiao, who had maintained his winning streak throughout the elimination rounds, had his fame rise to a terrifying level.

His fame surpassed Ling Yihang, Ling Yixue, and Ling Fengs.

After all, many people enjoyed the rise of a dark horse.

In addition, the vast majority were average people. They longed to see someone break through their shackles and smash the rules! It inspired them to do it themselves.

Therefore, Ling Xiao, who had been bullied until half a month ago, had become their idol with his abrupt rise. 

Ranked first in the Elite Hall, his merit absolutely deserved this fame!

As Ling Xiao descended the martial stage, the people below automatically made way for him.

This was the reverence heroes received!

Ling Tieshou despaired, but his clenched fists gradually loosened.

No matter the depths of his anger, what could he do? Ling Xiaos terrifying strength and growth gave him no hope.

As for Ling Chong, he trembled in fear. 

He had never dreamed that Ling Xiao would reach todays heights. He had even defeated Ling Yihang!

Ling Fei bitterly smiled and muttered, Fortunately, I didnt seek further trouble with him; otherwise, I would be truly miserable.

After loosing to Ling Xiao in the movement technique competition, he truly hadnt been excessive, so he secretly rejoiced now.
