Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Cultivating the Killing Move_1

Ling Xiao’s wounds had gradually healed. He originally had healing medicine exchanged from the Pharmacy Hall, and when added to the powerful recovery effects after achieving the sixth rotation of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique, if it were only ordinary injuries, recovery would still be relatively easy.

Thus, he repeatedly sparred with his Martial Soul Avatar in the Practice Room.

Each spar allowed him to gain a clearer understanding of the Terrifying Finger.

When this understanding accumulated to a certain extent, he stopped fighting, sat down cross-legged, and began to contemplate the Terrifying Finger.

After all, he wasn’t trying to decipher it, but to learn it.

Although the casual finger strike of the woman in blue was extremely mystical and far surpassed the high-level martial skills he had learned,

the repeated practice,

combined with the Mountain and River Martial Soul’s analytical and rehearsal effectiveness, and Ling Xiao’s own exceptional talent, resulted in quite significant progress after a whole night.

His so-called significant progress was actually about ten percent of the standard of the woman in blue’s Terrifying Finger.

But even then, this finger technique had already reached the small success standard of a top-level martial skill.

If he were to fully comprehend it, just how terrifying would that be?

His heart was bursting with ecstasy.

It seemed that the injuries he had suffered today were absolutely worth it.

He had dozens of punctures big and small on his body, some had stopped bleeding, but the holes could still be clearly seen.

As for his clothes, they were already ragged beyond recognition.

But compared to what he gained, that was naturally much less.

”You’re so awesome, so I might as well give you a name, let’s call it Terrifying Finger.”

Ling Xiao didn’t think too much about it. The reason he chose such a common name was simply because this finger technique made him feel just one thing—

Terror!

So why not name it ”Terrifying Finger”?

”I’ve almost grasped it, it’s time to try out the power of this move!”

He suddenly laughed wickedly and said to the Martial Soul Avatar, ”You’ve been bullying me, now it’s my turn to bully you for once, just stand still.”

Ling Xiao rubbed his hands together, and then suddenly pointed out a finger.

An almost imperceptible stream of Gang Qi shot out like a blade.

”Pff!”

The shoulder of the Martial Soul Avatar was pierced, creating a hole.

”Hahaha, indeed powerful, it’s just a pity that my control isn’t proficient enough yet. From now on, you can move, and even attack me, just don’t use this move.”

If it were only attacking a fixed target, the fearsomeness of this move wouldn’t show.

The reason why the Terrifying Finger was fearsome mainly lay in two aspects, one was its sufficient power.

The other was its frighteningly fast speed!

After continuously executing the Terrifying Finger more than ten times, Ling Xiao suddenly noticed a phenomenon.

Although the Terrifying Finger also consumed Gang Qi, the consumption was very little.

This wasn’t necessarily a good thing, because of the conservation of energy, if it used so little Gang Qi, it naturally would consume something else.

What the Terrifying Finger depleted the most turned out to be Soul Power.

Ling Xiao could clearly feel that each time he performed the Terrifying Finger, his soul would be affected.

With his current Soul Power, he could at most execute ten Terrifying Fingers with ten percent power.

”It looks like what’s more important next is to enhance my Soul Power, I wonder if the third level of the Book Collection Pavilion has any top-secret methods for soul cultivation, it would be great if there were.”

Thinking this, he could no longer wait.

He immediately stopped his cultivation, left the Practice Room, changed into a new set of clothes in his room, and was about to head to the Book Collection Pavilion.

However, as he walked into the courtyard, he was stunned.

There was someone kneeling in the yard.

A woman.

”Ling Yu, what are you doing?”

Ling Xiao looked at the girl kneeling there and couldn’t help but frown.

Ling Yu was kneeling there, crying like a pear flower bathed in tears, her cheeks streaked with them, truly invoking a desire to protect her.

But that was for someone else.

Ling Xiao had given up on this woman a long time ago.

If bullying them when they were beggars was just child’s play, then abandoning him at his lowest point truly disappointed him to the core.

Fortunately, he had never fallen for this woman, so there was no question of heartbreak.

It was purely disappointment.

”Ling Xiao! I have realized my true feelings for you. In fact, I liked you even when you were still a beggar. My bullying was simply because I liked you.”

Ling Yu said to Ling Xiao, ”Haven’t you heard that hitting and scolding are signs of affection?”

Ling Xiao felt nauseous and took a deep breath, replying, ”Let’s not bring up the past. We no longer have any relationship. I won’t hold a grudge against you for how you treated me, but the two of us are simply strangers in this lifetime.”

”Ling Xiao, don’t you want to give me a chance? I really do like you a lot. The only reason I went out with Ling Feng was to provoke you and make you stronger!”

Ling Yu wept again as she spoke.

This woman was truly shameless.

Ling Xiao coldly cast a glance at Ling Yu and answered, ”I’ve already said, there’s no possibility between you and me. Leave now and stop saying things that make you look contemptible. If you just stay obediently by Ling Feng’s side, I might still think highly of you.”

Ling Yu fell to the ground with a thud.

During the elimination rounds, she thought she could find some way to kill Ling Xiao.

But after seeing Ling Xiao defeat Ling Feifan in the final, her heart fluttered with excitement.

She thought with her charm, ensnaring this foolish boy would be easy as pie.

But she was disappointed.

Ling Xiao’s decisiveness and straightforwardness completely dashed her hopes.

”Ling Xiao!”

”Junior brother!”

Suddenly, two voices came from outside, and Ling Xiao’s previously irritated mood suddenly improved a lot.

The visitors were Ling Yihang and Ling Yixue.

Ling Yu, seeing Ling Yixue, seemed to understand something in an instant.

Outside of the Ling Family, she was a proud princess; everyone had to cater to her will, everyone had to protect her.

But once she came to the Ling Family, she instantly transformed from a beautiful swan into an ignored ugly duckling.

Therefore, she fell from grace, choosing to give up hard work in favor of relying on her looks to cling to men, to cling to Ling Feng.

But faced with the same plight as an ugly duckling, Ling Yixue chose a completely different path.

Ling Yixue did not rely or ingratiating herself with anyone; she worked diligently, forgetting her beauty, forgetting the charm she possessed as a woman.

It was precisely for this reason.

The paths of the two women diverged greatly.

Ling Yu became a dependent of someone else, and naturally, her strength improved little.

Ling Yixue, on the other hand, became increasingly powerful. Her status kept rising, relying on her own might to become a true swan.

Truth be told, although Ling Yu’s potential was not as great as Ling Yixue’s, it wasn’t by much; her ability to learn the Soul Capturing Technique was evidence enough.

If she had worked as hard as Ling Yixue, she definitely wouldn’t have ended up with her current fate.

What a pity.

Even at this moment, she still hadn’t recognized her mistakes.

She was just madly jealous of Ling Yixue. Why was it that Ling Yixue could receive Ling Xiao’s smiles, his care?

Why couldn’t she?

Clenching her teeth, she got up and ran out of Ling Xiao’s residence.

”Wasn’t that woman with Ling Feng? What did she come to find you for?” Ling Yihang asked, puzzled.

”It’s nothing. What brings you two here at this hour?” Ling Xiao was even too lazy to mention Ling Yu at this point.
