Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 446: 446 Chapter Earth Vision and Sky Hearing_1

”Snap!”

Ling Xiao had thought he could easily block the wolf’s attack.

However, the result was far beyond his expectations; the wolf’s tail still swept against his body, leaving a vivid red mark.

He didn’t block it!

Even though he anticipated the attack, his speed wasn’t as fast as his opponent’s plus, the wolf’s tail was flexible, making it very difficult to fully block, and as a result, Ling Xiao was injured.

”Ha, interesting!”

Despite being injured, Ling Xiao didn’t feel disheartened, but rather became even more excited.

Training with a challenge is what truly has flavor, otherwise, what’s the point of training at all?

An injury led to a chain reaction.

Several wolves took the opportunity to pounce on him, tearing and biting. Although he dodged the vital points, his body was nevertheless covered with wounds.

Yuan Venerate didn’t call for a stop, he simply looked at Ling Xiao and said, ”Your insight is terrifying, but without the speed and reaction to match, it’s useless. Remember, what your eyes see is always one step behind. What you need to practice now is to dodge attacks based on feeling, letting your muscles and True Essence capture your opponent’s attack!

There is a technique in the use of True Essence called ’Earth Vision and Sky Hearing,’ more vividly called ’True Essence Ball.’ Release the True Essence to form a ball that envelops your body. Anything the True Essence touches will be immediately relayed back to the martial artist.

Try it now. Always maintain the release of True Essence; doing so will consume a lot of True Essence, but if you persevere over time, you won’t need eyes to detect stealth attacks from others, and your True Essence will also adapt to this state, gradually becoming more robust.”

...

The narrow cave, filled with twenty-two Fourth-tier Ferocious Beasts, the Wind-tailed Wolves, all bearing numerous wounds.

The cave walls were covered with claw marks and fist dents.

A place that was once intact now looked as if it had undergone hundreds of fierce battles.

In the center of the cave, Ling Xiao’s smooth skin shimmered with golden light, yet it was still marred by numerous bloodstains and claw marks.

You could even see the bite marks from teeth.

But these wounds hadn’t penetrated his skin or muscles, and they hadn’t caused him much harm.

The battle with the Wind-tailed Wolves had lasted for half a month.

During that time, Ling Xiao had increased the weight of the Array Refining Stone from three thousand to five thousand jin. He faced the frenzied, cruel, and crafty attack of the Wind-tailed Wolves relentlessly.

The wounds on his body dated back more than ten days.

In the first few days, Ling Xiao was frequently injured, and sometimes severely so. Once, the leader of the Wind-tailed Wolves bit off his arm.

Another time, a Wind-tailed Wolf took advantage of an opening and shattered his ribs with a swipe of its paw.

Yet even in such situations, Yuan Venerate didn’t intervene to help.

Ling Xiao also didn’t remove the Array Refining Stone.

He ultimately made it through.

After four or five days of battle, he gradually found it easier to cope. Over these days, the wounds on his body became fewer and fewer, at most just grazed by the claws of the Wind-tailed Wolves, it was nearly impossible for him to sustain serious injuries.

And now, he had a sword in his hand.

Because at this moment, he could precisely control the output of his True Essence, even if he wielded a sword, he could ensure the Wind-tailed Wolves wouldn’t be killed, seriously injured, or severely crippled.

Initially, Yuan Venerate brought twenty-two Wind-tailed Wolves, but in reality, only ten were involved in the attack.

This decision was made after the first battle since if indeed all twenty-two attacked at once, Ling Xiao would have likely died.

From ten to twelve, then gradually increasing, until now all twenty-two could attack simultaneously, and Ling Xiao could handle them with ease.

Throughout these days, Yuan Venerate, who had been resting outside the cave, suddenly opened his eyes and, seeing Ling Xiao’s relaxed and slightly smiling face, nodded in approval.

”That’s about it!”

Yuan Venerate smiled and waved his claw, gesturing in the air towards the twenty-two Windtail Wolves.

In an instant, the wounds on the twenty-two Windtail Wolves healed, and they even erupted with a strength that was double the strength they exhibited before.

”Disciple, I’m not afraid to tell you, I had sealed half of their strength before, fearing you might truly be killed. Now, it seems unnecessary. As long as you can defeat these twenty-two Windtail Wolves at their full strength in one go, this training will be over,” said Yuan Venerate with a smile.

Ling Xiao had actually sensed this as well, particularly after his cultivation level advanced to the early phase of the Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer five days ago. He understood then.

The twenty-two Wind-tailed Wolves were not at their full strength.

But at that time, he hadn’t asked his master. In his view, his master must have had his reasons for doing so.

And now, it had indeed come to pass.

”Earth Vision and Sky Hearing!”

Ling Xiao didn’t dare to be negligent. His True Essence suddenly formed a huge True Essence Ball around his body, which then kept expanding until it encompassed the entire cave.

It also had another name, ”True Essence Ball.”

It was indeed aptly named.

Within this ”True Essence Ball” filled with True Essence, nothing could escape his detection.

Here they come!

The twenty-two wolves launched their attacks almost simultaneously, but the Wolf King cunningly delayed its attack just a beat longer than the rest.

It was well aware that after half a month of training, Ling Xiao had not only adapted to this kind of combat but also achieved a breakthrough in cultivation, making him not easy to deal with.

So the only way to kill Ling Xiao was to think smarter.

Ling Xiao easily dodged the first wolf’s pounce.

Even burdened with a five-thousand-pound Array Refining Stone, he could still move as lightly as if flying and easily dodge the attacks, even performing the Cloud Dragon Divine Movement.

This was a significant improvement.

The second and third wolves coordinated their attack from near the ground.

Ling Xiao infused his legs with True Essence and surprisingly shot two air swords from the bottom of his feet, sending the two wolves flying.

The fourth, fifth, sixth...

More and more Windtail Wolves attacked simultaneously, and what was most important, they had all recovered their original strength, which was more than double what it was before.

Originally, these Windtail Wolves were seriously seeking revenge; they truly intended to kill Ling Xiao.

They were no match for Yuan Venerate and could only vent their anger on Ling Xiao.

But the situation turned out to be entirely beyond their expectations.

Ling Xiao managed to either dodge or block all of their attacks, even counterattacking!

The attacks from the twenty-one Windtail Wolves all came to an end.

Only the attack of the Wind-tailed Wolf King remained.

Ling Xiao wasn’t entirely satisfied in his heart, feeling that his Twelve Golden Lotus Art needed to be improved. This set of Internal Cultivation Mind Techniques had stagnated at the third level for too long.

So much so that during combat, whenever his True Essence was exhausted, he couldn’t help but attempt to make a breakthrough.

Perhaps after taking the Hundred-Year Nine Dragons Quenching Yuan Pill, he would be able to achieve it.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, deciding to quickly end this challenge.

Because it could no longer bring him much training effect, it was time for a change in the method of training.
