Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Battle for Number 1_1

”Martial Pulse Fifth Level! Gang Qi Stage Second Layer! I’m not his match!” Ling Xiao frowned slightly. With his current strength, if he did not break through, there was no way he could defeat Ling Shisan.

But escape was not an issue.

However, Ling Xiao did not flee.

He decided to give it a try!

Perhaps, in the face of danger, he might just manage a breakthrough against the odds.

True geniuses are madmen. If one didn’t dare to take any risks, how could one progress?

The opponent’s aura was terrifying. The powerful aura, combined with their full body of Gang Qi, merely standing there brought enormous pressure to Ling Xiao.

But the greater the pressure, the stronger Ling Xiao’s fighting spirit became.

The Gang Qi within his body was already restless!

Ninety-one percent!

Ninety-two percent!

Ninety-three percent!

...

Ninety-nine percent!

Under the terrifying pressure, Ling Xiao’s True Qi continuously converted into Gang Qi. His third Martial Vein had already transformed to over ninety-nine percent.

He was just one step away from breaking through to the Martial Vein Quadruple Layer.

He could break through at any moment!

The buildup was more than sufficient!

Indeed, not fleeing was the right decision!

Ling Xiao was thrilled at the thought. If he had turned and ran earlier, even with the Soaring Cloud Step: Transforming Flood Dragon, Ling Shisan might not have been able to catch up to him.

But to achieve such great progress would have been absolutely impossible.

”Ling Shisan, I merely blocked Ling Feng’s attack. The severe injury he suffered was due to the backlash of his own Gang Qi, what does that have to do with me?” Ling Xiao continued refining his True Qi while speaking indifferently.

”You devil! At this point, you still dare to quibble! Well, considering that you are a disciple of the Ling Family, I can spare your life! But I must cripple you!” Having said that, Ling Shisan hesitated no longer.

He struck a palm directly toward Ling Xiao’s chest.

”Enough!”

Ling Xiao was about to fight back with all his Gang Qi, but the presiding judge intervened in time.

With a light block, Ling Shisan’s attack was rendered powerless, dissolving into nothingness.

”Elder! He was cruel and vicious, nearly killing my son. Are we going to overlook this?” Ling Shisan had no courage to resist in front of this judge. Despite his anger, he knew his strengths and weaknesses all too well.

If he dared to make a move, it would not end well for him today.

”This is the arena! The place for the competition! Not a place for your tantrums!” the judge said coldly.

His meaning was clear. Attacking Ling Xiao on the day of the competition was unacceptable. However, what happened outside the competition was none of his concern.

Ling Shisan seemed to grasp the judge’s meaning and gave Ling Xiao a cold glance. ”Boy, today I’ll give the Elder face. But the vengeance for my son must be avenged!” After speaking, he turned and soared away.

Compared to the crafty and cunning Ling Jiu, this Ling Shisan was more straightforward and even more ruthless.

Ling Jiu had to consider Elder Ling’s opinion, but Ling Shisan did not care because he knew he could never become the Family Master of the Ling Family; he did not have the qualifications.

So when he said he would seek revenge on Ling Xiao, he meant it.

”Young man, take care of yourself. Everyone must take responsibility for their actions, and no one else can help you!” the judge glanced at Ling Xiao indifferently. He wasn’t favoring anyone; he simply stated a fact.

”The junior understands!” Ling Xiao was well aware of what he had to face. Could he have been expected to hold back against Ling Feng?

He was not able to do that.

To hold back due to fear of the opponent’s father would obviously affect his Martial Dao Will.

It would be a loss not worth the cost.

”He actually won! To face Ling Feng’s father without any fear! What is going on here... how did this happen...” Among the crowd, Ling Yu, who had been flush with excitement, now had a pale face, almost completely devoid of color.

She had hoped Ling Feng would defeat Ling Xiao, and then she could return the humiliation she had suffered back to Ling Xiao.

But as it turned out, she fell from the heights directly into the abyss, utterly despairing.

Is this the same little beggar she used to bully at will?

Unconsciously, he had grown to such an extent.

To say she didn’t regret it would be impossible.

Ling Yu now truly regretted not having persisted earlier, not having stayed by Ling Xiao’s side.

That waste, Ling Feng, really was useless.

Her eyes revealed traces of resentment as she coldly stared at Ling Xiao, seemingly deep in thought.

Due to Ling Feng’s serious injury, the fight between Ling Yihang and Ling Feng naturally couldn’t go on.

So, the most thrilling moment had arrived.

”This is the final match of the elimination round, Ling Yihang versus Ling Xiao!”

Currently, the two disciples who had maintained a winning streak.

The former is the number one of Elite Hall, and the latter is the biggest dark horse of this elimination round.

This naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Ling Shuang, ranked third in Genius Hall, came.

Ling Yun, ranked second in Genius Hall, also came.

Only Ling Feifan was still nowhere to be seen.

”Oh? This is somewhat unexpected. I thought it would be Ling Yihang competing against Ling Yixue for the first place, but a dark horse has emerged. Interesting indeed!”

Ling Shuang, like Ling Yixue, was a girl with a decent appearance but an excellent figure, probably due to practicing martial arts.

Her personality was also different from Ling Yixue’s; although a girl, she was quite fiery.

Upon reaching the stands, she watched Ling Yihang and Ling Xiao on the Martial Arts Platform with a smile and expressed her thoughts.

”Junior sister, who do you think will win between these two?” Ling Yun asked indifferently.

”Can’t say for sure,” Ling Shuang shook her head.

”Can’t say for sure?”

The surrounding crowd was somewhat puzzled.

In their minds, the result was clear. Ling Yihang had already learned Qi Transformation into Gang, and he was already a martial artist at the Martial Meridian Third Layer Peak.

And until now, Ling Xiao had not revealed any hint of Gang Qi.

With such a comparison, Ling Yihang was clearly the sure winner.

”Yes, can’t say for sure. This Ling Xiao is very mysterious. I’m sure he has other cards up his sleeve. Although I haven’t seen his previous fights, a woman’s intuition is always accurate,” Ling Shuang said with a smile.

”Even if he has some sort of trump card, it’s unlikely he’d be a match for Ling Yihang. Can you be sure that Ling Yihang doesn’t have a trump card?” Ling Yun also said.

”That’s why I say it’s unclear. These two, including that Ling Yixue, will all be wild cards in the finals. You guys should be careful. It’s quite possible that three people will be pushed out of the top ten,” said Ling Shuang with a giggle, then fell silent.

Because the two on the field had already clashed.

”Just give up, you are no match for me!”

Ling Yihang stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes gazing at the sky, as if Ling Xiao beneath him wasn’t even worthy of his attention.

The words from his mouth also proved his disdain and scorn for Ling Xiao.

”That may not be the case!”

Ling Xiao stated flatly.

”You’re already qualified to advance to the finals, so why bother making a fool of yourself? My only opponents are the top four from Genius Hall.”

Ling Yihang still held an air of arrogance.

”Perhaps that is only because you haven’t encountered them yet,” replied Ling Xiao, neither servile nor overbearing.

”Alright then, if you can take three moves from me, I’ll concede defeat,” Ling Yihang said, not wanting to waste time.

”Then you’re bound to lose!” replied Ling Xiao, who didn’t wish to waste time either. After all, the real fight was to be had in the finals; this was just the elimination round.

Even if he were to take first place, it would be still only the first place within the Elite Hall.

”First move!”

Ling Yihang didn’t waste any more words, and he threw a punch that seemed utterly ordinary.

The punch was simple, so simple it could barely be considered martial arts, just an easy punch.

But that punch was infused with Gang Qi.

That was sufficient!
