Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Mighty Golden Body_1

The youth, using an odd stepping technique, suddenly moved to Ling Xiao’s side and then his strange blade chopped down again.

In the short distance, the weird blade instantly tore through the air, emitting a shrill, whistling sound as it cleaved through space.

Due to friction, the temperature of the air surged suddenly, even producing visible flames.

It wasn’t hard to guess that even with True Essence protecting the body, being struck by this blade would likely result in blood spraying on the spot.

Clang!

To everyone’s surprise, facing such a sudden change in technique, Ling Xiao’s body did not move at all, he did not even glance with his eyes, merely swinging out a left punch that accurately hit the strange blade.

This punch, still dazzling with golden light, seemed as if it wrapped in gold itself.

This was the effect of combining the ”Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique” with the ”Heavenly Dragon Golden Body”.

The intense shock nearly caused the lazy-youth’s strange blade to fly out of his hand.

This time, he could not help but be astonished.

His strange blade, which was an Ordinary Treasure after all, coupled with vigorous True Essence and superior Advanced Martial Arts, actually couldn’t withstand a single punch imbued with Advanced Martial Arts from the opponent?

What kind of international joke was this?

”Roll!”

As his left hand swept aside the strange blade, Ling Xiao’s body shone even more dazzlingly with golden light, and he vaguely emitted an aura as if a dragon was soaring through the wild.

He twisted his body and continuously launched a series of powerful punches with his right hand, each punch exploding violently in the air.

Boom, boom, boom...

Ninja Clan Secret Techniques — Body Protection Technique.

Seeing that he couldn’t dodge, a shadow that was initially behind the youth suddenly moved in front of him, and after being infused with True Essence, it actually formed a barrier that solidly shielded the youth.

However, the genius youth from Heavenly Ninja Academy had apparently underestimated the power of Ling Xiao’s punches.

After blocking a few, the shadow instantly exploded, and he was sent retreating chaotically, scrambling to avoid being blown away.

Upon seeing this, General Jiu Yue could not help revealing a surprised expression, which soon turned into a radiant smile.

Honestly, he had been a bit worried for Ling Xiao initially, afraid that Ling Xiao would be at a disadvantage against the lazy youth.

After all, the opponent had a Cultivation Level of the Martial Vein Late Seventh Stage, while Ling Xiao was at the Martial Vein Seventh Initial Stage.

But now, he felt his concerns were completely unnecessary.

It seemed that Ling Xiao had not even used fifty percent of his strength, and yet he had so effortlessly repelled his opponent—this kid was too terrifying.

Now he finally understood, the truly most frightening aspect of Ling Xiao was not his strength, but that clever combat strategy of his.

Ling Xiao’s battles always seemed to take everything into account: the opponent’s weaknesses, the flaws in their techniques, the best timing for attacks, the best martial moves, and the combinations thereof.

That is why Ling Xiao was able to achieve with only fifty percent of his strength what would require others to exert eighty or even ninety percent.

In today’s world, able to do this, at least General Jiu Yue had never seen anyone else capable.

None among the Twelve Tiger Guards, Lin Shuai couldn’t, that Wan Meng likewise couldn’t, and he hadn’t seen anyone from Heavenly Ninja Academy do it either.

This might just be the most terrifying aspect of Ling Xiao.

Of course, that young genius from Heavenly Ninja Academy wouldn’t go down that easily; he likely hadn’t utilized his full strength either, and the upcoming battle might become even more splendid.

General Jiu Yue smiled, his confidence in Ling Xiao having suddenly surged.

”Hee hee, Senior Brother, if you don’t start fighting seriously, you’re going to lose,” the lively girl cheerfully called out to the lazy youth.

The lazy youth, clearly provoked, stomped fiercely on the ground with a ”bang,” stabilizing his rapidly retreating body.

The ground as a result cracked open with several more fissures.

The grounds of Hidden Dragon Camp were pitiable, nearly every battle left the earth riddled with countless holes. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the land remained.

Otherwise, if it were any other terrain that got shattered, one would truly grieve for quite a while.

”Ling Xiao! You truly are formidable, you’ve earned the right for me to use all my strength!”

As the words were said, the young genius was surrounded by rising black flames. These flames grew fiercer and fiercer, and the wind blowing by him suddenly turned scorchingly hot.

The phantom behind him became even more solid, except the expression of the Ninja Spirit became somewhat fierce, its entire body also ablaze with black flames, before it grasped a strange blade in both hands.

Black flames passed through his arms, then merged into the boy’s strange blade, causing the blade to ignite as well. The eerie black fire gave off a spine-chilling sensation, causing many of the onlooking teenagers to lose slight control of their Gang Qi and True Essence.

”Black Sun Judgment!”

The young genius roared, then together with the Ninja Spirit he struck at Ling Xiao with the blade.

The two strange blades merged into one, forming an enormous blade made entirely of True Essence and black fire, stretching over ten meters long.

It slashed through the air, aiming straight for Ling Xiao.

The massive blade moved so fast and with such ferocity that it virtually tore through the space in front of it, lighting the air aflame.

The crackling sounds, much like a forest fire rampaging.

”Heehee, senior brother is finally getting serious, huh? That blade strike is incredibly powerful, and not slow either. The opponent won’t be able to block or dodge it, he’s doomed!”

The lively girl laughed at the chubby boy, her previously tense expression now relaxed.

”Mm.”

The chubby boy just nodded, for he knew too well the power behind the young genius’s blade. Even at Heavenly Ninja Academy, there were few who could withstand it.

At that moment, General Jiu Yue’s previously carefree face showed a hint of concern.

The young genius’s move was more powerful than he had expected. Such might was something only Transcendent Martial Arts should attain.

And Ling Xiao had not practiced Transcendent Martial Arts. Facing this move, he would undeniably suffer a disadvantage.

Moreover, with a lower Cultivation Level than his opponent, the situation was quite bleak.

”Why should General Jiu Yue worry? My junior brother will surely win. Although this genius from Heavenly Ninja Academy is quite formidable, in front of my junior brother, he’s not worth mentioning,” said Ling Yixue, her voice reaching General Jiu Yue’s ears.

”You sure are confident,” remarked General Jiu Yue, unable to help but offer a wry smile. He really didn’t understand where Ling Yixue’s immense confidence in Ling Xiao came from.

It was probably a bias.

After all, both Ling Yixue and Ling Xiao hailed from Tianfeng City and appeared to be quite close.

Naturally, he wished for Ling Xiao to win too. If so, Hidden Dragon Camp would be thoroughly vindicated.

”Die!”

The genius from Heavenly Ninja Academy had nearly poured all of his True Essence into the fearsome blade strike, causing his complexion to turn a tad pale.

But he had no regrets because he knew the power of his own blade strike.

Just as the massive blade came hurtling down, Ling Xiao showed a faint smile.

”Now that’s more like it.”

It wasn’t arrogance, he simply needed a powerful strike like this to test his golden body’s defense.

With a resonant dragon’s hum,

Ling Xiao’s body shone with a more brilliant golden light, even the Black Bear Remnant Soul behind him was enveloped in the golden radiance.

General Jiu Yue watched in amazement and thought, ”No way, has this kid actually mastered the ’Heavenly Dragon Golden Body’?”
