Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: I Am the Strongest

”Dan Changle, can the Sea Race participate in the alchemy competition?”

Medicine King Sun Ran asked.

”Of course they can. This time, the alchemy competition does not have racial restrictions, so the Sea Race is not an issue.”

Jackson Le Grandmaster replied.

”This is bad. If a Sea Race contestant takes the championship, our land-dwelling races will lose all face! Especially since she’s from the Water Temple—don’t forget, your Changle Immortal Island was once driven out of the White Tiger Continent by the Water Temple.”

Medicine King Sun Ran sneered coldly.

”I know that, but what can I do? We can only pin our hopes on the upcoming tests—Dan Qing and Ji Luoyu must perform exceptionally. Otherwise, do you think I should just kill her in front of everyone here?”

Jackson Le Grandmaster was well aware that what Medicine King Sun Ran said was true, but he was powerless to change the situation.

”Aren’t you all forgetting someone?”

From the VIP seats, Moon Lady, who had been silent all along, spoke lightly.

”Who? Don’t tell me you’re talking about Ling Xiao?”

Ji Qing froze for a moment before realizing that Ling Xiao hadn’t tested his pill yet.

”But can he really do it? Tianhai Zhen Zhu already scored full marks in the first round. If Ling Xiao can manage even ten points, it’ll be a blessing. Full marks? I doubt it!”

Even though Ji Qing trusted Ling Xiao, he wasn’t entirely confident this time.

After all, Tianhai Zhen Zhu’s displayed abilities were overwhelmingly strong.

”Stop rambling. We’ll know the results soon enough.”

Moon Lady replied coldly, then turned to Ling Xiao and said, ”Ling Xiao, show them. My man, the Moon Lady’s man, is absolutely exceptional!”

”Exceptional might be a stretch, but dealing with a small fry from the Sea Race shouldn’t be too hard.”

Ling Xiao chuckled lightly, stretched lazily, and walked toward the Mechanical Bird with his Transcendent Pill in hand.

”Hmph, putting on airs. Do you really believe you can match my score?”

Tianhai Zhen Zhu mocked him arrogantly.

”Tsk tsk, little girl, can you stop talking? You’re giving off a fishy smell with every word. Why did you come to the alchemy competition only to antagonize the entire land-dwelling race?”

Ling Xiao sighed helplessly, ”Now you’ve forced me to be your enemy.”

He had already fed the pill to the Mechanical Bird.

In the next moment, the Mechanical Bird fell silent.

”Hahaha, is this the result you wanted me to see?”

Tianhai Zhen Zhu burst out laughing mockingly.

Dan Qing and Ji Luoyu lowered their heads in embarrassment, feeling that Ling Xiao’s failure was also their humiliation.

”Ignorance.”

Ling Xiao returned to the Bone Throne and remarked disdainfully.

Just as Tianhai Zhen Zhu was about to retort, the Mechanical Bird suddenly emitted a radiant glow and began to sing an elegant melody.

Simultaneously, the rankings displayed on the Jade Bi changed.

Ling Xiao: 120 points!

What’s going on!

points?

Higher than a perfect score?

How is this possible?

For a moment, not only was Tianhai Zhen Zhu dumbfounded, even Ling Xiao’s supporters were left speechless.

”Perfect Transcendent Pill!”

Ji Qing was the first to stand up and shouted loudly.

”Perfect? How could it possibly be perfect!”

Medicine King Sun Ran muttered to himself, his face filled with disbelief.

”You cheated!”

Tianhai Zhen Zhu shouted in shock after recovering from her stupor.

”Cheat? Are you an idiot? If I cheated, wouldn’t the Mechanical Bird disqualify me? If you’re incapable, don’t slander others.”

Ling Xiao sneered, ”Or do you think the competition organizers deliberately manipulated my score to let me win?”

”Is that impossible?”

Tianhai Zhen Zhu retorted furiously.

She couldn’t accept this!

In terms of medicinal skills, she had never feared even Medicine King Sun Ran—how could she lose to an ordinary Ling Xiao!

”If you have evidence, present it. If not, stop making baseless accusations. Discrediting the competition organizers and judges is a serious matter; it could very well result in your disqualification.”

Ling Xiao was confident he hadn’t cheated, so he believed Tianhai Zhen Zhu couldn’t find any evidence.

”Fine. I may have lost to you in this round, but in the upcoming matches, I won’t lose again!”

After a long silence, Tianhai Zhen Zhu decided to withdraw.

She had no choice.

Without evidence to prove cheating, her accusations amounted to nothing but empty words.

She could only place her hope in the remaining rounds of the competition. She refused to believe that Ling Xiao could perform so exceptionally every time.

Seeing Tianhai Zhen Zhu fall silent, Ling Xiao turned to Dan Qing, smiled, and said, ”Sorry, I accidentally became the hero again. You better give it your all in the next round—don’t let this Sea Race woman steal the spotlight!”

Ling Xiao was the kind of person who remembered every slight.

Since Dan Qing had ridiculed him before, there was no way Ling Xiao would miss the chance to return the favor.

”Hmph, I don’t need your reminder. I’ll definitely work hard, and don’t think that just because you excelled in the first round you’ll do as well in the rest.”

Dan Qing was inwardly stunned by Ling Xiao. He could no longer find words to describe the fearsome potential of this man.

But outwardly, he refused to concede.

”I’ve said it before, there’s no need to worry. At least across the three major land masses and oceans, there’s no one whose medicinal skills surpass my man’s.”

Moon Lady smiled proudly.

Despite her worldly experience, Moon Lady still had moments of indulgent arrogance.

She wouldn’t allow anyone to doubt her man.

”Hahaha, Her Highness Moon Lady is absolutely right. Ling Xiao has truly amazed us. To craft a Perfect Transcendent Pill from those materials, I have high expectations for the tests ahead!”

Ji Qing laughed heartily but couldn’t help feeling a hint of wariness.

He’d once thought of training Ling Xiao and controlling him, but was Ling Xiao truly someone who could be controlled?

Unlikely!

Medicine King Sun Ran remained silent, his eyes betraying a complex mix of emotions as he stared at Ling Xiao.

Jackson Le Grandmaster was probably the happiest of them all.

He had never considered controlling Ling Xiao. From the beginning, he’d recognized Ling Xiao’s exceptional strength. What he wanted more was an alliance with Ling Xiao.

This desire had now become even more resolute.

Taking a deep breath, Jackson Le Grandmaster stood and announced loudly, ”After the first round, 3,200 alchemists remain! Next, we will begin the second round of testing. But before that, the alchemists may take a short break to recover their mental strength.”

Rest was necessary, as alchemy consumed an enormous amount of Soul Power.

In this interlude, Ling Xiao chose to stay by Moon Lady’s side.

Anywhere else, he would be swarmed relentlessly by a sea of colorful female admirers.

Ling Xiao was not someone who would behave frivolously.

With his beloved woman by his side, why would he do such a thing?
