Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 500: Chapter 500 Stronger Than a Genius_1

”You! Hmph, Ming Tian has peerless talent, so what if there are exceptions for him? If you had his talent, the Sect would make exceptions for you as well.”

Elder Jin said loudly.

”Talent, huh, heh... I wonder what Elder Jin considers ’talent’. When Ming Tian was in the secular world, his cultivation level was much stronger than mine, yet now it is not as good as mine. You say his talent is better than mine, isn’t that a joke to the whole world?”

Ling Xiao said disdainfully with a laugh.

”Enough, both of you say less. Today’s competition is not a battle of words.”

The Supreme Head Teacher, who is also the most noble Elder Supreme Chang Yueying, said with a cold laugh, ”Little guy, my words aren’t wrong, are they?”

”The words of the Supreme Head Teacher are naturally never wrong.”

Ling Xiao cupped his fists in response.

This person was Lan Yu’er’s master, and Ling Xiao did not want to start a conflict with him.

He stopped talking, and as an elder, Elder Jin naturally could not keep pressing the issue either.

The competition continued in an orderly manner.

Zhao Zhi won with difficulty, and so far, he only had one loss. It could be said he was lucky, but what would happen next was hard to predict.

Dai Yuling also won with difficulty, mainly because she faced a rather strong opponent—a Transcendent Realm Third Layer Apex martial artist. Thankfully, she won with the help of her powerful Martial Soul.

So far, she had not been defeated, since her previous opponents had been relatively weak.

However, the situation for these two might gradually worsen. They could only hope not to fail three times to avoid elimination.

Shangguan Lei’s situation was similar, though he hadn’t faced defeat, his predicament was quite severe.

Bai Feifei, Leng Hao, Wu Yang, and Qin Wu had relatively easy victories.

Especially Bai Feifei who basically won without a fight as her opponents all surrendered directly.

Besides the fact that she was the foster daughter of Demonflame Celestial and the disciple of the Supreme Head Teacher, what was more important was that she had seriously injured an Outer Disciple in her first move, and after that, who would dare fight her?

What the Supreme Head Teacher said was righteous, indicating Bai Feifei rarely engaged in such sparring, so she didn’t control her strength well. It wasn’t intentional.

But Ling Xiao clearly saw that she did it on purpose!

He was beginning to understand why Demonflame Celestial was so proud. Raising the daughter of Master Baiyun into such a cruel and ruthless woman was indeed a huge blow to Master Baiyun.

After watching the battles of others for a while, it was once again Ling Xiao’s turn. Coincidentally, his opponent turned out to be the Inner Sect Disciple who had just lost to Ming Tian with Transcendent Realm Sixth Layer Early Stage cultivation level.

Ling Xiao smiled and stepped onto the Martial Arts Platform, looking effortless, and without any sign of flamboyance. It was clear that he had perfected his Body Movement Technique.

Among the Inner Sect Disciples, there were very few Transcendent Realm Seventh Level and Sixth Layer martial artists, totaling no more than ten. For Ling Xiao to encounter one, his luck was indeed quite bad.

At least compared to Zhao Zhi, Dai Yuling, and Shangguan Lei, it was rather unfortunate.

Ling Xiao stood there, just looking at his opponent calmly, then cupped his fists and said, ”Please enlighten me with your skills, senior brother!”

”Hmph, you seem to look down on me. Just because I lost to Ming Tian, doesn’t mean I’ll lose to you!”

That Inner Sect Disciple said coldly, ”Ming Tian is a genius Disciple, and you are not!”

While he spoke fiercely, his True Essence was continuously gathering inside him.

”Oh, is that so? He is a genius, and I’m not?”

Ling Xiao grinned, ”He defeated you in one move, and I don’t even need to make a move for you to be defeated!”

”Nonsense, stop trying to scare people!”

How could that Inner Sect Disciple believe such nonsense from Ling Xiao? He suddenly gathered all his True Essence, wielding a steel saber and charging towards Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao still stood there, without even moving.

The Inner Sect Disciple’s heart filled with suspicion. He didn’t believe Ling Xiao was foolish enough not to fight back; there must be a scheme.

But what exactly was the scheme?

He didn’t know!

The Saber Technique was fully committed; it was not possible to retract. He gritted his teeth and the steel saber fiercely cleaved downward.

”Fall!”

Ling Xiao’s eyes held a smile as he softly uttered a single word.

As his voice fell, the Inner Sect Disciple had already collapsed onto the ground, as if tethered by something, unable to move.

”You! You! You actually used sorcery!”

The Inner Sect Disciple cried out in alarm.

”Idiot, just admit defeat already. That’s not sorcery; it’s leveraging the Array Formation of the Martial Arts Platform!”

The speaker was the Array Method Hall Master.

She was astonished to discover that the Array Formation on the Martial Arts Platform where Ling Xiao stood was already under his control.

This Array Formation was originally designed to exert a heavy pressure effect.

Its purpose was to restrain any disciple who might suddenly go berserk.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao had actually employed it.

Does this count as making a move?

It seemed not to!

This time, even the Supreme Head Teacher was taken aback.

She wasn’t afraid of how strong Ling Xiao was, for no matter how powerful he was, he wouldn’t surpass her disciples, let alone her.

But the fact that this boy could control the Array Formation of the Martial Arts Platform in such a short time was terrifying.

”I admit defeat!”

The Inner Sect Disciple’s face was flushed red with exertion, but he was completely at a loss and remained unable to stand up.

So he could only admit defeat.

Regrettably, after his surrender, he had suffered three defeats, which meant elimination.

His luck was truly dreadful; he had consecutively encountered Bai Feifei, Ming Tian, and Ling Xiao.

Originally, he thought losing to Bai Feifei was normal, and he should have been confident about facing Ming Tian and Ling Xiao, but who could have known the last match would be more embarrassingly lost than the one before.

A buzz of shocked discussion had already erupted among the spectators.

Many people were commenting on the terrifying aspect of Ling Xiao.

”In a battle against this lad, we’ll have to be wary of him using Array Formations from now on; it’s just too unpredictable!”

Shen Tian Lin silently reminded himself.

”Really, he didn’t need to use a single move to defeat an Inner Sect Disciple. Although it’s taking advantage, it’s indeed impressive. If Ming Tian is a genius, then he must be considered an evil genius!”

Sect Leader Chang Yueying nodded silently to herself.

”This lad hasn’t used any Martial Arts moves up to now, all his previous fights were won with ordinary attacks. Now faced with a strong opponent, he switched to using Array Formations. Does he have no intention of revealing his Martial Arts?”

Even Bai Feifei, who originally scorned Ling Xiao, was now paying some attention to him, ”However, if it were me, I would never fall for his tricks!”

Ling Xiao glanced at Bai Feifei and couldn’t help but quietly chuckle to himself; the lady was indeed formidable, but if he could use the Martial Arts Platform’s Array Formation, he might not be without a way to deal with her!

In fact, his use of the Array Formation against the Inner Sect Disciple was just practice.

The Array Formation of the Martial Arts Platform had several other effects.

More importantly, at this moment, a Half-step Celestial was fully maintaining the Array Formation.

In other words, he might be able to harness the power of these Half-step Celestials to target Bai Feifei.

Lacking strength compared to the opponent did not necessarily mean he could not win.

Ever since the venture in the Fulong Mountain Range, Ling Xiao had been increasingly realizing the importance of tactics.

”Feifei, do you want to avenge your father’s grievance?”

Supreme Head Teacher Chang Yueli asked the now returned Bai Feifei at her side.

”Yes!”

Bai Feifei responded with a nod.
