Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Sixth Layer Peak_1

”As for the Seventh Layer Martial Masters and Ninth Stage Martial Artists, you can give up on those thoughts; leave martial artists of such realms to us Twelve Tiger Guards and the three Commanders. You are mainly responsible for those under the Seventh Layer of Martial Veins.”

”Like with usual missions, the top thirty people with the highest military merits will all receive special awards. The higher the ranking, the richer the rewards.”

”Any other questions?”

”Yes!”

Ling Xiao asked, ”How many military merits are needed to exchange for Transcendent Martial Arts?”

”100 points!”

General Jiu Yue answered.

”What! 100 military merits! It seems we have no hope.”

Many disciples in the common bunkroom shook their heads with wry smiles.

One hundred military merits might not seem like a lot, but you should know that for martial artists below the Sixth Layer Peak, the military merits earned after killing them are too few.

And since they could not possibly defeat a Seventh Layer Martial Master, although the rewards in military merits were substantial, they could forget about it.

”Don’t get discouraged. Although most of you probably won’t be able to exchange for Transcendent Martial Arts, it’s much easier to get the rare top-tier Martial Arts or the superior top-tier Martial Arts; the former requires 20 military merits, the latter needs 50 military merits,” General Jiu Yue said with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone gradually became more lively again.

After all, for most of the disciples in the common bunkroom, mastering one or two beginner top-tier Martial Arts would already be quite impressive.

Rare top-tier Martial Arts and superior top-tier Martial Arts were what they dreamt of.

As for Transcendent Martial Arts, it was too far-sighted; it was better not to think about it.

What’s more, not only Martial Arts could be exchanged but also items like Gang Qi Pills and Spirit Stones, which were just as valuable, and everyone could choose according to their needs.

In fact, General Jiu Yue had just given a brief overview; the rewards available for exchange were far greater than what he had mentioned.

”This is true training!”

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and thought to himself, ”The sparring within Hidden Dragon Camp might be intense, but it’s still just sparring. Missions like this, however, truly develop a martial artist’s ability to survive in the Jianghu and not be killed as soon as they leave the Hidden Dragon Camp.”

He certainly approved of this training method.

Of course, with the Mountain and River Martial Soul, he was full of confidence about the task of assassinating the Dream Pill Merchant.

Not to mention that his escaping skills were certainly not inferior to any Seventh Layer Martial Master.

This mission could basically be considered a heaven-sent opportunity for him to improve his strength.

”No more questions then?”

”None!”

”Good, if there are no questions, the mission will commence in three days. During these three days, Lin Shuai will handle some matters to try as much as possible to disassociate the death of the Dream Pill Merchant from the Border Guarding General’s Mansion.”

General Jiu Yue stood up and left.

Shi Lei and another deputy commander also left.

Oddly enough, the whole time, they hadn’t seen a trace of the Hidden Dragon Camp’s Chief Commander.

Ling Xiao found this strange, but since no one else asked, he didn’t want to be nosy. After leaving the training field, he greeted Ling Yixue and then went to the Pharmacy Hall to check on Leng Mei.

The mission was important, but Leng Mei’s injuries still needed to be cared for.

”Did you bring this girl here?”

In the Pharmacy Hall, Ling Xiao encountered a green-clothed woman.

This woman was about Ling Yixue’s age, two years his senior.

She possessed a rarely seen beauty that could topple cities.

However, Ling Yixue was comparatively deep and reserved, somewhat introverted.

Whereas this green-clothed woman gave off the impression of a lady from a distinguished family, mature and experienced in her speech and actions.

”Yes!”

Ling Xiao replied.

”Right, those who know how to care for their servants are usually not too bad. My name is Dai Yuling. What’s yours?”

The green-clothed woman asked with a smile.

”Ling Xiao!”

”Mhm, I’ll remember that. This girl is not in danger of losing her life anymore, but her body is still a bit weak. If you believe me, let her stay in the Pharmacy Hall for three more days. I promise to return to you a lively and bouncing little girl.”

Dai Yuling’s smile was very lovely, like a refreshing spring breeze, making one feel very comfortable.

”Then thank you very much, I trust you.”

Ling Xiao trusted his instincts; this woman’s power was incredibly fearsome, many times stronger than his. If she really intended harm towards Leng Mei, she wouldn’t need to go through so much trouble.

”Then off you go, prepare well for the task in three days. Perhaps we’ll have the chance to meet again, hehe.”

Dai Yuling smiled, then turned and left.

Ling Xiao watched the girl’s departing figure and suddenly thought of someone.

It seems the Chief Commander of Hidden Dragon Camp’s last name was Dai, could it be this girl?

Both her age and strength were very fitting; this woman was probably even stronger than General Jiu Yue. Plus, their surnames were the same, it couldn’t be a coincidence.

After returning from the Pharmacy Hall, Ling Xiao went to find Ling Yixue. In Hidden Dragon Camp, she was the only person he trusted for the time being, so teaming up with Ling Yixue seemed like the best choice.

Ling Yixue readily agreed.

That day, it wasn’t just the two of them who decided to form a team; many people in Hidden Dragon Camp found their own groups as well.

After all, there was strength in numbers.

Basically, besides the team leaders Ling Xiao and Ling Yixue, the other eight team leaders each had six or seven people under them.

The division of tasks such as combat, scouting, and healing was also very clear.

As for the three commanders and two deputy commanders, they formed a team and naturally were unwilling to take on lower-level individuals for the mission, as that would only hold them back.

Chief Commander Dai Yuling had always been a lone wolf, elusive, and it seemed she would likely be a team of one.

Interestingly, when Ling Xiao was ready to return to his room to prepare, Yin Ran came to him.

This former tenth team leader who seemed rather eerie wanted to join his team with Ling Yixue.

Ling Xiao thought about it and did not refuse.

Yin Ran’s combat power was considerable, and in Ling Xiao’s opinion, if Yin Ran were to exert his full strength, he would be among the top ranks of the ten team leaders, probably stronger than Tian Guang and Murong Shao.

Having such a strong person join would make obtaining military achievements easier.

After seeing off Yin Ran and spending a day, Ling Xiao took out two low-grade Spirit Stones and ten Gang Qi Pills, ready to elevate his cultivation to the Martial Vein Sixth Peak in one go.

The stronger one’s power, the better the chances of success.

In just one day, Ling Xiao felt that his sixth Martial Vein finally became fully saturated.

All six Martial Veins reached a bursting state, ready to explode with power.

One of the Martial Veins even began to generate a strand of True Essence.

This feeling was very similar to when he advanced from the Martial Meridian Third Layer Peak to the Martial Vein Quadruple Layer.

Advancing from Martial Meridian Third Layer to Martial Vein Quadruple Layer was a key transition from the Awakening Stage to the Gang Qi Stage.

Now, at the Martial Vein Sixth Peak, stepping into the Martial Vein Seventh Layer was another key transition, from the Gang Qi Stage to the Explosive Qi Stage.

He believed that once the Gang Qi in all six Martial Veins was completely transformed into True Essence, he should naturally advance to the Martial Vein Seventh Layer.

And become a Martial Artist of the Martial Master Realm.

Another day passed, and Ling Xiao not only stabilized his strength at the Martial Vein Sixth Peak but also fully transformed the Gang Qi in the first Martial Vein into True Essence.

As such, while at the Martial Vein Sixth Peak, he could now exercise the ability to burn True Essence, which is normally available only to those in the Martial Master Realm.

It’s just that using it at this time would have a larger adverse effect.
