Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Bold Request_1

Although Master Baiyun’s advice is indeed correct, specializing in one aspect first, then advancing to the Transcendent Realm, and afterwards going back to develop the other two aspects is also feasible.

However, Ling Xiao had different thoughts. He believed that since the Martial Pulse Ninth Level was the foundational stage, proceeding in this manner would certainly result in deficiencies, and upon advancing to the Transcendent Realm, there would definitely be significant drawbacks.

So, he still planned to balance the development of his soul, inner strength, and body.

After all, he had always been doing so— ”Soul Burning Secret,” ”Snow Lotus True Scripture,” ”Heavenly Dragon Golden Body.”

Combined with his ”Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique,” it was entirely possible to develop all aspects concurrently.

”All right, the questioning is over. You may return now, prepare to move, and reside at the White Cloud Temple. This place is freer and quieter, more suitable for cultivation,” said Master Baiyun as he waved his hand after the twelve had finished their questioning.

”Master, your disciple has a presumptuous request and hopes it can be granted,” said Ling Xiao, not forgetting his own intentions.

”Speak!”

”May I have the fragments of the Seven-Star Flower?” Ling Xiao asked.

”Ling Xiao, have you lost your mind? How dare you make such an unreasonable request?” Fei Yu demanded.

He truly feared that Ling Xiao would offend Master Baiyun and that all of them junior disciples would be expelled.

”No matter. Could you tell me what use you have for those fragments?” Master Baiyun waved his hand, indicating for Fei Yu not to speak, and then looked at Ling Xiao.

”Your disciple is simply curious,” said Ling Xiao, who of course did not speak the truth.

”Very well. Since a shattered Seven-Star Flower cannot be revived, if you like it, take it,” Master Baiyun said as he looked at Ling Xiao. To be honest, he always felt that this young man was a bit peculiar. Although he seemed transparent, there was also an unsettling feeling, as if something was overlooked.

Probably thinking too much, he thought. After all, just a young man without a special physique, even if there is something special about him, what of it?

With a wry smile, Master Baiyun simply agreed to Ling Xiao’s request. Indeed, as he had said, a shattered Seven-Star Flower was no different from ordinary glass shards.

Ling Xiao cautiously collected all the Seven-Star Flower fragments into his Storage Ring. Here, he did not dare to easily open the Mountain and River World, fearing Master Baiyun might notice.

Carrying a treasure can be a crime. The Mountain and River Martial Soul was indeed too marvelous, and he was afraid that if Master Baiyun grew covetous, it would bring trouble.

After the newly accepted ten disciples left, Master Baiyun turned to Ming Tian and Zuo Leng, who were still in the True Spirit Hall, and said, ”You two have been with me for three years now, performing very well in all regards. From today onward, I will impart the supreme techniques to you. You must study them diligently.”

Zuo Leng and Ming Tian exchanged glances, both showing joy.

In these three years, although they had received many pointers from Master Baiyun and learned quite a bit, they had not yet been taught his true supreme techniques.

This Transcendent Warrior was very cautious. Even with true disciples, he tested their loyalty and other factors; three years was a transitional period.

The ten who became his disciples today, aside from Ling Yixue, truly paled in comparison to these two young men in terms of aptitude.

As for Ling Yixue, she was somewhat special. He actually did not plan to pass on any supreme techniques to her. Keeping her close naturally had another purpose.

...

After leaving the True Spirit Hall, Fei Yu directly confronted Ling Xiao.

”Ling Xiao, you are truly mad. We’ve finally become Master Baiyun’s disciples, how could you dare to make such a request to him? Do you want to get us all thrown out?”

At this moment, Ling Xiao’s thoughts were centered on the Mountain and River World. His soul had already entered the Mountain and River World to study how to mend the Seven-Star Flower.

According to his analysis, the Seven-Star Flower indeed could be repaired through the creation ability, but it required providing some materials.

”One Fine Treasure, a hundred Gang Qi Pills, one millennium-old Xue Lian, ten natural crystals!”

These were the items listed by the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

He had the Gang Qi Pills, and he also had the thousand-year-old Golden Snow Lotus, now what he lacked were Fine Treasures and natural crystals.

The Ice Glass Sword and the Gentle Breeze Sword in his hand were only Ordinary Treasures, which definitely wouldn’t suffice.

As for natural crystals, they weren’t particularly expensive, costing a thousand taels of gold each, so ten would only amount to ten thousand taels of gold.

He could afford that.

The problem was that natural crystals were easier said than found, especially the higher-grade varieties.

”Ling Xiao, I’m talking to you!”

Seeing Ling Xiao had not responded for a while, Fei Yu was obviously a bit annoyed.

Returning to his senses, Ling Xiao looked at Fei Yu and said, ”If such a trivial matter results in our expulsion, then Master Baiyun is nothing special after all. Or do you think the master would be so petty?”

”You! You’re twisting words and forcing logic!”

Fei Yu roared.

”I’m twisting words? Is my request too excessive? It’s just some Seven-Star Flower fragments. Or do you dare swear you’ll never ask for anything from the master?”

Ling Xiao asked indifferently.

”I...”

Fei Yu certainly didn’t dare make such a vow, as he longed to become a disciple of Master Baiyun and naturally wanted to gain benefits from him.

If he didn’t make any requests, what would be the point?

His opposition to Ling Xiao today was just an excuse to assert himself.

”What ’I’... if there’s no issue, step aside, I have things to do,” Ling Xiao said.

He was not afraid of Fei Yu at all now.

Although Fei Yu was a Martial Vein Seventh Layer Peak Martial Master, and Ling Xiao did not have much confidence in winning, it was also impossible for the other party to injure him.

”Hmph, I don’t get why you’re so arrogant. Merely four and a half stars of potential, not even as good as Butterfly Dance or Zhu Hua, let alone Senior Brother Zuo Leng and Senior Brother Ming Tian,” Fei Yu sneered.

”Indeed, among you all, only Ling Yixue is somewhat acceptable to watch, but her control over her potential is terribly weak,” Fei Liu said, stepping forward. ”You should know, when Senior Brothers Zuo Leng and Ming Tian were tested, they both reached a full seven stars of potential without breaking the Seven-Star Flower. Their potential is no less than Ling Yixue’s, but their control is far superior.”

”You hear that? Having potential but failing to control it means you can’t leverage it, rendering it almost meaningless,” Fei Yu said with a cold laugh, looking at Ling Xiao. ”Don’t think that just because your cultivation level is increasing rapidly, you can do whatever you want. With such weak potential, you’ll never ascend to the Extraordinary Sacred Realm in your lifetime, so better behave in front of us.”

”Is that so? I’m quite curious to see who will ascend to the Extraordinary Sacred Realm first,” Ling Xiao said.

Fei Liu and Fei Yu’s words had left the other geniuses feeling a bit shocked and discolored.

But Ling Xiao was different; although he was a bit surprised, he didn’t lose his composure. Instead, it ignited an even stronger fighting spirit within him.

”Boasting shamelessly!”

Fei Yu said with disdain.

Ling Xiao said nothing further but continued walking towards the exit of the White Cloud Temple.

When the group arrived outside the White Cloud Temple, they realized many people were standing around, including Yin Ran and Hua Nongying from the Hidden Dragon Camp, as well as Li Xinghui and Shi Yu Lian from the Heavenly Ninja Academy.

Others present included Lin Ze, Wan Ben, the White Cloud Sect Leader Real Person Yiran, General Jiu Yue, and others.

Ling Xiao even spotted his old adversaries Shi Long and Li Yunsheng.

They were now working for Wan Ben and serving the Ninja Clan, basking in glory.

”Ling Xiao, I challenge you!”

Suddenly and unexpectedly, Li Xinghui stepped forward from the crowd, looking at Ling Xiao and shouting loudly.
