Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280: The True Body Appears

The disciple of Changle Immortal Island had his tongue cut off and his arm chopped by Ling Xiao.

Jackson Le Grandmaster snorted coldly and then said loudly: ”Even if the final round is lost, Ling Xiao is still our hero. If anyone dares insult him again, old me will clean it up myself before he has to lift a finger! Changle Immortal Island does not need morally corrupt fools.”

”Heh, Dan Changle, are you truly not protecting your own people?”

Medicine King Sun Ran asked with a smile.

”I, as the organizer of this alchemy tournament, only uphold justice and principles, not shielding mistakes. Besides, such fools bring no benefit to Changle Immortal Island, instead dragging it down. He deserved to die!”

Jackson Le Grandmaster said indifferently.

The first part of his statement might have been said casually, but the second part was his honest opinion.

Changle Immortal Island does not need fools!

With his declaration, no one in the audience dared say anything about Ling Xiao anymore. Even if they harbored resentment in their hearts, they absolutely wouldn’t voice it aloud.

Otherwise, they might risk having their tongue cut off or their arm chopped—that outcome was something no one wanted to face.

”He’s really going to do it!”

At this moment, Ji Qing’s face revealed an expression of fervor, his body trembling with excitement.

”Impossible! Is he crazy? That method has less than a thirty percent chance of success. He only has one shot left; does he dare?”

Medicine King Sun Ran seemed to have guessed what Ling Xiao intended to do as well, his excitement evident with a flushed face.

”Why not? His first pill was the Heavenly Yuan Physique Pill, the second the Heavenly Yuan Soul Pill, and this third one is the Heavenly Yuan Inner Strength Pill!

Separately, these pills may not be astonishing. They each enhance a martial artist’s body, soul, and inner strength respectively.

But if combined and refined together, there’s a chance to create a pill infinitely close to the Mysterious Grade—a ’Cave Heaven Realm - Three Parts Return to Origin Pill’!”

Ji Qing exclaimed excitedly, ”That kid—I knew I wasn’t wrong about him! Truly courageous! If he succeeds, he’ll surely surpass the Tianhai Zhen Zhu.”

”Hmph, that’s only if he succeeds. If he fails, all his efforts will be wasted. With his skill, he didn’t need to take such a risk. This approach is nothing but foolishness!”

Medicine King Sun Ran snorted in dissatisfaction.

”Maybe, but his boldness opens the door to success. I don’t believe he would act without confidence.”

Ji Qing responded with a smile.

”Then let’s wait and see.”

Medicine King Sun Ran’s disbelief stemmed from his firm conviction that Ling Xiao could not refine a pill infinitely close to the Mysterious Grade—Three Parts Return to Origin Pill.

”Will he fail, falling into the abyss with no escape? Or succeed, seizing the crown and becoming the alchemy tournament champion? What kind of answer will you deliver to us?”

Ji Qing gazed at Ling Xiao, clearly holding him in high regard.

Of course, Medicine King Sun Ran wasn’t wrong either; Ling Xiao’s choice was indeed a gamble.

Heaven and Hell—only a thread’s distance apart.

Which way would it tilt in the end? It all depended on Ling Xiao’s decision.

At this moment, Ling Xiao had successfully refined the third pill.

Placing the three pills together, Ling Xiao suddenly closed his eyes.

”Her Highness Moon Lady, what do you think of Senior Ji Qing’s words?”

Yun Ya turned to look at the Moon Lady, feeling that among everyone present, only the Moon Lady truly understood Ling Xiao’s depths.

”I don’t know either.”

The Moon Lady smiled and shook her head. ”That guy, he loves challenges. Refining a Yellow Grade Super Medicine is too easy for him, so he chose a much harder path—combining to refine a pill infinitely close to the Mysterious Grade, the ’Three Parts Return to Origin Pill.’”

”So, you’re saying you don’t know whether he’ll succeed either?”

Yun Ya asked in sheer surprise.

”That’s correct. I don’t know. But I believe he will succeed.”

If pressed for a reason, the Moon Lady would undoubtedly say it was because she liked Ling Xiao.

But clearly, that wasn’t the reason Yun Ya was looking for.

”I believe in Master too.”

Leng Mei’s stance was equally firm.

”Leng Mei, you’re blindly trusting him.”

Yun Ya said with a bitter smile.

”You’re wrong. I’m not blind, never have been. Master has the capability, which is why I trust him. Princess Emma Ya Cloud, you don’t understand Master enough yet. If he wants to win, in the realm of alchemy, even Medicine King Sun Ran may not be his match!”

Leng Mei said casually.

”That’s impossible!”

Yun Ya naturally didn’t believe her. Medicine King Sun Ran was a Mysterious Grade Pharmacist, incomparable to mere Yellow Grade Alchemists.

”I knew you’d say that, which is why I won’t explain further. When the results are out, you’ll see. Tianlong Trade Company’s attempt to approach Master and cooperate with him is wise, but don’t ever have any ulterior motives—otherwise, the consequences will be severe.”

Leng Mei said calmly. While her unwavering admiration for Ling Xiao seemed blind on the surface, it was anything but.

Leng Mei might not express her opinions readily, but in her heart, everything appeared crystal clear.

At this moment, those mocking Ling Xiao internally fell silent, realizing that Ling Xiao’s actions were far from what they had imagined.

A ball of crimson flames ignited.

The flames across the arena trembled in response.

Tianhai Zhen Zhu cast an angry glance at Ling Xiao.

If the flames spiraled out of control, it could very well lead to failure in pill refinement.

Unfortunately, she had fallen victim to it!

Her first attempt at refinement ended in failure, just as she was nearing completion.

Dan Qing looked disgruntled as well, similarly affected—with his pill-refining process failing.

”You can’t blame me. It wasn’t my intention.”

Ling Xiao shrugged his shoulders; after all, Divine Fire was the progenitor of all flames.

Across the world, every flame originated and derived from the Twelve Divine Flames.

”Curse it!”

At that moment, neither Tianhai Zhen Zhu nor Dan Qing had time to blame Ling Xiao. They hurriedly enlisted their assistant alchemists to gather materials for another attempt.

Ji Luoyu, however, was lucky. She hadn’t yet lit her flames, having only finished purifying her ingredients.

Thus, at this point, she was faster than Tianhai Zhen Zhu and Dan Qing.

Nonetheless, there was no trace of relaxation on her face. Even without external interference, the success rate of refining a Yellow Grade Super Medicine wasn’t very high for her.

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted from Tianhai Zhen Zhu’s side.

Behind her, a humanoid phantom materialized.

At this moment, Tianhai Zhen Zhu couldn’t afford any hesitation.

She had to muster all her strength to ensure the second pill would be successfully refined.

The instant the phantom appeared, Tianhai Zhen Zhu’s eyes whitened momentarily but soon returned to normal.

However, her once-clear gaze had now turned sinister and ruthless.

Fully possessed.

Ling Xiao sensed Tianhai Zhen Zhu’s overwhelming power at this moment.

He couldn’t help but feel alarmed.

”It’s truly her!”

Medicine King Sun Ran gasped as he stood up abruptly.
