Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Pulling One Back_1

The chubby teenager’s punch was so fierce that as it came hammering down, it actually created a gust of wind, which made Ling Yixue’s clothes flutter noisily.

It even whipped up a cloud of dust and pebbles around them.

If Ling Yixue had really been hit directly by that punch, she would have been severely crippled if not killed.

However, there were no such restrictions in the friendly sparring between the Heavenly Ninja Academy and the Hidden Dragon Camp.

Death was a possibility, as was inflicting disability on the opponent.

Soul-snatching Palm!

Ling Yixue just stood there and seemed to lightly strike out with a palm; the resulting palm wind wasn’t as intense, and the scene didn’t look nearly as spectacular.

Yet, the watching, indolent-looking young man’s face changed dramatically.

Because he was well aware that the chubby teenager’s greatest strength was his Gigantification Technique, which, when combined with various martial skills, made him tremendously more powerful.

But the physical toughness had left the chubby teenager’s soul considerably weaker.

What he feared the most were soul type attacks.

And Ling Yixue’s first move turned out to be the top-tier martial skill, Soul-snatching Palm.

If it were just an ordinary top-tier martial skill, they would not have been concerned, but being a top-tier martial skill that targeted the soul, if Ling Yixue’s soul power was strong enough, the chubby teenager was doomed to defeat.

This wasn’t a gap in strength.

It was a complete counter.

Sure enough, as Ling Yixue’s palm came forward, the chubby teenager who had been launching an attack at her suddenly became absent-minded for a moment, and his ferocious punch hit the ground beneath his own feet.

Boom!

The ground cracked open a huge fissure that continued to spread, and the spot where the chubby teenager was standing caved in.

Causing his massive body to tilt as well.

How could Ling Yixue miss such a good opportunity? She flew up and landed a palm strike on the chubby teenager’s body.

However, this palm didn’t aim for any vitals but rather a spot that nobody else would have thought of.

And this spot happened to be the very weakness of his Gigantification Technique.

”This woman is too frightening; how could she have seen through the weakness of the Gigantification Technique? Could it be that our intelligence has leaked?” the indolent young man grimaced.

Rather than being concerned about the chubby teenager’s loss, he was more worried about the possible leakage of intelligence.

Of course, he didn’t know that it wasn’t Ling Yixue who had identified the weakness, but instead, it was Ling Xiao who discerned it and used Divine Dragon True Essence to inform Ling Yixue.

With a single palm strike, the chubby teenager returned to his original size and then just like that, passed out.

He was a Martial Artist at the late stage of the 7th level Martial Pulse.

Ling Yixue too was a Martial Artist at the mid-stage of the 7th level Martial Pulse.

Their strengths were not much different to begin with, and Ling Yixue had suppressed the chubby teenager from the very beginning, so she had won very easily.

”I’ve always said, without fighting, nothing is certain,” Ling Yixue said after defeating the chubby teenager, then returned to Ling Xiao’s side.

”Congratulations, Senior Sister, although I didn’t help you, you could have won on your own,” Ling Xiao said in a low voice.

”I could have won, but definitely not this easily. His Gigantification Technique is too troublesome; I couldn’t have found its weakness in a short time, I surely would have been at a disadvantage.”

Ling Yixue’s most terrifying aspect was her ability to remain calm, no matter what the outcome, she could always clearly see her strengths and weaknesses.

So she made significant progress after almost every battle.

”Heh, the geniuses of Heavenly Ninja Academy are just that after all,” General Jiu Yue finally had the chance to vent his pent-up anger.

The chubby teenager’s face turned red with effort, but he did not dare act recklessly here, for General Jiu Yue’s cultivation level was much higher than his.

”Hmph, there’s still one more sparring match to go, the outcome is uncertain.”

The lazy young man’s eyes flashed with a murderous intent, as he coldly turned his gaze toward Ling Xiao.

”Yes, there is one more battle, and then you’ll have lost.”

Ling Xiao stepped out from the crowd and, smiling at General Jiu Yue, said, ”General, if we win this sparring match, what will our reward be?”

”Of course, each of the two victors will receive a book of nearly transcendent martial arts.”

General Jiu Yue nodded, ”Moreover, this martial arts secret manual will be provided by Heavenly Ninja Academy, and you can choose freely.”

Actually, it was the dean of Heavenly Ninja Academy, Wan 犇, who first proposed the sparring. His aim was to get his hands on all of Hidden Dragon Camp’s near-Transcendent Martial Arts.

Lin Ze, under pressure, agreed to the request. Fortunately, near-Transcendent Martial Arts are not Transcendent Martial Arts; although not numerous, there were still quite a few in the Hidden Dragon Camp.

Initially, Lin Ze felt that such an exchange would be fair, with wins and losses on both sides, which would benefit Hidden Dragon Camp as well.

However, ever since the sparring began, Hidden Dragon Camp had never won. Therefore, they had always been giving away Martial Arts Secret Books to disciples of Heavenly Ninja Academy for their observation.

”Oh, that’s not bad.”

Ling Xiao smiled. He did not particularly like fights without any rewards.

”Not bad it may be, but you can’t win!”

The languid youth tossed his hand, retrieving a weapon from his Storage Ring that resembled neither a sword nor a knife.

The elongated blade, with an edge on one side like a knife, yet with a width closer to a sword, looked extremely odd.

”Even though this is just a sparring match, I hope you understand I won’t hold back. You better not disappoint me too much. Keep me entertained!”

Ling Xiao did not take out his Ice Glass Sword for today’s fight. He only wanted to rely on his recently attained second layer of the ”Heavenly Dragon Golden Body.”

So, he prepared to engage in hand-to-hand combat with his opponent.

”You won’t last more than ten moves against me!”

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

The languid youth’s face darkened as he retorted, ”Fine, very fine! I actually want to see how you plan to defeat me within ten moves. Just be careful not to twist your tongue in the strong wind!”

In a flash!

As soon as he finished speaking, the languid youth suddenly pointed the strange blade in his hand toward Ling Xiao, shooting forth like a shadowy figure.

His target was Ling Xiao’s vital points.

Whoosh!

A pale blue sword light pierced the air, sparking blue electrical fires, almost melting the air from friction.

In the face of the attack, Ling Xiao remained composed.

His body shimmered with a golden glow, and a giant black bear also appeared behind him.

Clearly, this was the Martial Soul Remnant from Murong Shao—the Black Bear Remnant Soul.

Choosing this remnant soul was because it represented strength and ferocity.

Ling Xiao, currently fighting barehanded, wanted to completely overpower his opponent with strength.

Following that, he launched three successive punches, his Meteor Fist, which was enveloped in a golden light, meeting the pale blue sword light head-on.

Crack!

Crack!

Like the explosion of shattered rusty metal, the pale blue light hadn’t even approached Ling Xiao’s fist before it was obliterated by the terrifying golden light, scattering in all directions.

Some people in the crowd were accidentally hit by the shrapnel, and their bodies were pierced through.

Just the dispersed afterglow was so powerful, one can only imagine how terrifying that sword light was.

Yet, despite that, it was easily broken by Ling Xiao, and with apparent ease.

”Second flash!”

The languid youth showed no sign of surprise.

He didn’t expect to defeat Ling Xiao with a single move; if that were the case, the battle would be too dull.

Besides, his opponent wasn’t that weak.

As Ling Xiao shattered his first sword light, a shadow also appeared behind the youth.

It was the silhouette of someone wielding the strange blade.

This shadow wasn’t very tall, standing at just under two meters.

However, the tremendous power contained within the shadow was not to be underestimated.

”Blade Master Spirit! This must be one of the longest sword spirits of the Ninja Clan, though perfecting this spirit to 70% is indeed a testament to the boy’s talent.” Even General Jiu Yue, who was just watching the excitement, had to admit that this languid youth was probably the strongest of the three sent by Heavenly Ninja Academy this time.

Although he was at the late stage of the Martial Pulse Seventh Layer like the chubby youth, he did not have obvious weaknesses, and his mind was cooler and sharper.

As the Ninja Spirit emerged, the youth stepped out in a mysterious stance, his body that was originally charging straight at Ling Xiao suddenly appeared on Ling Xiao’s left side.

An impossible trajectory was somehow achieved through his peculiar footwork.
