Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Sealing Gods Record_1

Ling Xiao is not one of those companions of Master Baiyun, so he definitely won’t break any rules.

Although he couldn’t help Leng Mei in the assessment of potential, giving a few tips for this kind of assessment isn’t going too far.

Under Ling Xiao’s guidance, Leng Mei actually managed to score the full 10 points for this stage with her Eighth Layer initial Cultivation Level in Martial Veins!

This surprised everyone else.

Yet who would have thought that a great deal of the credit belonged to Ling Xiao?

If it were up to Leng Mei alone, she might have scored a 5, at most 6 points, which was already the limit.

After Leng Mei, Xu Ying and Zhao Zhi also smoothly scored full marks for this stage.

Interestingly, both of them attempted to slay the Mechanical Giant Beast at the end, only to be defeated instead.

Feeling it was about time, Ling Xiao also walked up to the entrance of the passage.

”Master, I can gain the extra ten points without any problem, right?”

Ling Xiao had asked Master Baiyun before entering the passage.

”Of course, it’s no problem. Many people know you have strong combat skills, and they would doubt you if you performed poorly. However, that Mechanical Giant Beast is equivalent to a warrior with Ninth Layer Pinnacle of Martial Veins. Are you really capable of killing it?”

Master Baiyun was well aware of Ling Xiao’s combat strength but still had his doubts.

Ling Xiao didn’t answer the question.

If it was a warrior at the Ninth Layer Pinnacle of Martial Veins, he definitely wouldn’t be a match, but a Mechanical Giant Beast was different; it didn’t have a brain.

As long as he caught its weak point, it didn’t matter if it was Ninth Layer Pinnacle or even the Transcendent Realm, he wouldn’t necessarily be afraid.

Whoosh!

Ling Xiao dashed into the passage.

Then, a scene that surprised everyone occurred.

He didn’t fight any Mechanical Puppets; instead, he walked towards the key point as if he was taking a stroll.

Whenever an attack appeared, his movements would just become a bit faster, easily avoiding them.

”Could this kid be related to Moon Hua Sect? How come it feels like he knows the mechanisms in advance?”

”Right, otherwise how could he so effortlessly dodge the attacks?”

”Shh! Don’t want to mix here anymore, huh? You dare to talk nonsense like that!”

”Really ignorant. Haven’t you all realized that those attacks actually have a pattern? It’s just that ordinary people can’t easily avoid them even if they notice the pattern. But this kid can, and it’s because his body movement technique is terrifying. It’s at least Transcendent Martial Arts, hmm, it should be called Gold Grade Martial Arts now!”

Zhao Zhi really looked down on these people. If someone performed well, they said it was because of connections, really ridiculous.

However, what happened next even made him doubt a little.

After Ling Xiao reached the end of the passage, he suddenly thrust out with his sword.

Without deviating in the slightest, he hit the Mechanical Giant Beast’s weakest link.

The central core was destroyed, and the Mechanical Giant Beast instantly lost power, becoming nothing more than an iron lump for anyone to bully.

At that moment, Elder Bai’s face showed a look of astonishment.

”Such a terrifying judgment ability! Such terrifying combat skills! It’s just a pity that this person’s potential isn’t remarkable, otherwise, he would have definitely been called a once-in-a-hundred-thousand-years genius. What a shame, truly a pity!”

He saw it that way, and he believed the Demonflame Celestial would see it that way too.

But Hei Suo might think differently.

After all, Ling Xiao had injured Hei Suo, so it would be quite normal for the latter to be against Ling Xiao.

But Ling Xiao wasn’t afraid of Hei Suo causing him trouble now. After joining Moon Hua Sect, Ling Xiao believed he would definitely receive more opportunities to enhance his strength. As long as he didn’t die, he would quickly catch up to or even surpass Hei Suo.

Of course, before that, he still needed to avoid direct conflict with Hei Suo as much as possible, as it would be too disadvantageous for him.

”Successfully completing the ten zhang distance and slaying the Mechanical Giant Beast, for this assessment item, the score is 20!”

With 10 points being the full score and slaying the Mechanical Giant Beast adding an extra 10 points, Ling Xiao effectively made up for the points lost in the potential test.

”This guy might actually be worth recruiting!”

Zhao Zhi stroked his chin. As a Crown Prince who had lived amidst intrigue for a long time, he naturally thought of winning over Ling Xiao.

After all, Ling Xiao’s combat skills were too terrifying. At least below the Transcendent Realm, he could absolutely become a powerful ally.

”No wonder he could kill Zuo Leng. His combat skills are indeed formidable. It’s just a pity that this is as far as he goes. Below the Transcendent Realm, he might be invincible, but once he reaches the Transcendent Realm, the gap between him and others becomes significant.”

Xu Ying, however, was not particularly surprised by Ling Xiao’s performance.

He had long known about Ling Xiao’s terrifying combat skills.

In fact, many of the veteran disciples held the same view as Xu Ying.

The least potential among these people was a Precious Treasure Body, and many possessed an Immortal Treasure Body. They not only lacked any appreciation for Ling Xiao’s combat skills but even disdained them.

This attitude was very much like Master Baiyun’s previous stance towards Ling Xiao.

After Ling Xiao, many others participated in the challenge.

The Mechanical Giant Beast was repaired after being destroyed and did not take too long to fix.

However, none of the challengers that followed scored more than 5 points, let alone higher.

Ling Xiao’s estimation was not wrong. Among these people, only a few truly possessed the potential to rise.

”Next is the final assessment, the ’Sealing Gods Record’!”

Elder Bai led everyone underground.

This was clearly an ancient relic.

The walls were engraved with many strange patterns, mostly of human figures.

”Alright, this assessment is the same as before. It’s up to you to decide when you’re ready to enter. Ignore the number tags!”

Elder Bai stood before a stone gate.

Behind that stone gate, a mysterious and ancient aura permeated. Ling Xiao felt the Mountain and River Martial Soul seemed somewhat impatient.

But he was not in a hurry.

He has always preferred not to act rashly, as he had the capability to analyze and rehearse. He intended to watch the performances of the other disciples as much as possible before making a decision.

Volunteers were always in abundance.

Especially some young geniuses who felt they might no longer have a chance to be selected, simply went in to try their luck, perhaps to obtain some benefits.

Disciples entered one after another, and it seemed they were coming out quite quickly after they went in.

Some of the youths emerged murmuring to themselves with their heads bowed.

Others came out with a bitter look on their faces.

Yet some youths emerged with faces full of excitement.

What was most puzzling was that there were even people who became unconscious and had to be carried out by Elder Bai.

What exactly was inside?

Ling Xiao was truly looking forward to finding out.

Master Baiyun couldn’t well remind him, so these matters had to be figured out by himself.

”Leng Mei, I’ll go in first this time. After I come out, then you can go in!”

Ling Xiao decided to go in first to scout the way.

Since he could not find any clues from the disciples who had already taken the assessment, he would have to rely on the Mountain and River Martial Soul to overcome the challenges.

He was also somewhat prepared.

The first assessment clearly tested endurance and resolve.

The second assessed potential.

The third was about combat skills.

Therefore, this final assessment was very likely about insight or perhaps Soul Power.

Actually, these are interconnected; the stronger the soul, the higher the natural insight.
