Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

”Alexander Yin Mountain, it looks like you really dislike that kid, huh?”

Beside Alexander Yin Mountain sat a young woman with a strikingly beautiful appearance, dressed in a fiery red gown, making her quite eye-catching.

Though she looked young, the aura she exuded seemed even more terrifying than Alexander Yin Mountain’s.

”He’s not worthy of being the Sect Master’s disciple.”

Alexander Yin Mountain coldly said.

”Hehe, I dislike him too! That guy actually dared to impersonate my idol’s name. I’ve got to beat him up until he changes his name.”

The girl chuckled mischievously.

Alexander Yin Mountain frowned, holding an absolute sense of apprehension towards this girl beside him.

This girl was one of the First Elder’s personal disciples, transforming from a junior disciple to the strongest mid-tier in just a month.

Her talent was naturally unquestionable, but she was rather eccentric.

If someone dared to take the things she favored, or even discuss them, she would mercilessly retaliate until the person completely succumbed.

As a result, her real name seemed to have been forgotten, with everyone calling her ”Red Demoness.”

The Red Demoness seemed to enjoy this title, so much so that now everyone called her that.

Perhaps her real name was only hidden in the tomes of the Demon Dragon Sect.

”It’s us meeting again, huh.”

On the arena, Liu Yan grinned as he looked at Ling Xiao.

”In a moment, you won’t be smiling.”

Ling Xiao said calmly, ”Come to think of it, I should thank the Third Sect Elder. Going as far as cheating to pair you up against me, wanting me to be your stepping stone to overcome your heart demon and soar anew?

It’s a pity, you will only become my stepping stone.”

”Arrogant!”

Liu Yan was not facing Ling Xiao for the first time. Before, he had already thought Ling Xiao was conceited, and this time, that feeling was even more pronounced.

”Hehe, say whatever you want. If I don’t defeat you, how else can I grab the top spot in the upper echelon reserves?”

Ling Xiao smirked faintly.

”What did you say?”

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into wild laughter, ”Did I hear it wrong? Even I wouldn’t claim to successfully advance to the upper echelon reserves, let alone being in the top three. Forget about it.

You, a mere nobody, actually want first place?

Please, be a little modest.”

”Then I apologize, I naturally dislike being modest. The greater the strength, the greater the desire. Why must I be modest?”

Ling Xiao stated coldly.

”Fine, I’ll hit you until you learn modesty!”

Liu Yan’s face turned black with rage, clearly infuriated by Ling Xiao.

”Alright, enough talk, let the battle begin!”

From the referee’s seat, the Third Sect Elder shouted, announcing the start of the match.

”Senior Brother Liu Yan, don’t give that impostor any face!”

”Beat him and show him the might of our Demon Dragon Sect!”

”Yeah, not everyone has the right to look down on us.”

...

As soon as the Third Sect Elder’s voice fell, cheers erupted from the grandstands.

Most of these shouts came from male disciples.

Since Ling Xiao arrived at the Demon Dragon Sect, not only did he become Chen Buyi’s closed-door disciple, but his outstanding looks and exceptional performance also won the affection of the girls.

Although some girls resented him for using the name ”Ling Xiao,”

even in the Mysterious World, looks mattered at times.

Moreover, Ling Xiao wasn’t just handsome; his strength was also formidable.

Easily defeating the Thirteenth Prince yesterday had earned Ling Xiao a lot of popularity among the female disciples.

Though this popularity couldn’t quite surpass the robust cheers of the male disciples,

it still sparked a bit of envy.

”How come this kid is so popular with the girls, and he’s only been at the Demon Dragon Sect for such a short time.”

Chen Luan couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh bitterly.

”Brother, you don’t understand. A good-looking and strong guy like Ling Xiao naturally attracts affection the easiest.”

Even one of Chen Buyi’s adopted daughters spoke as if infatuated.

”You guys beat me at this.”

Chen Luan shook his head helplessly.

But he, too, hoped Ling Xiao would win.

Only if Ling Xiao defeated Liu Yan could he truly show those who doubted and despised him his strength.

Even though Ling Xiao could hear the cheers, he paid them no mind.

His eyes were now only fixed on Liu Yan.

This battle was incredibly significant for him.

Not only did he need to win, but he also had to successfully break through. Otherwise, he couldn’t achieve his objective.

To ensure a smooth breakthrough, he didn’t want to defeat his opponent too quickly.

Thus, he raised his hand, but it wasn’t the Eight Immortals Sword, nor the Blood Thunder King Sword that appeared, but the White Jade Flying Dragon Sword.

A weapon of Immortal Spiritual Tool grade.

With the White Jade Flying Dragon Sword in hand, a sharp sword Qi suddenly rose within Ling Xiao, as if it was about to pierce the sky.

”Please, Senior Brother Liu Yan!”

Ling Xiao said calmly.

Sensing the sharp sword Qi suddenly exuded by Ling Xiao, Liu Yan frowned slightly.

His previously nonchalant expression instantly became serious.

In his hand, the Cold Iron Fan swung abruptly, and a powerful aura erupted from within him.

”It seems you’ve become stronger than yesterday! Interesting.

But, you still can’t be my match!”

Liu Yan didn’t want to lose, so he planned to go all out.

Suddenly, behind him, a willow tree emerged.

Willow Tree Martial Spirit.

It didn’t appear particularly special.

Yet, Ling Xiao could feel that each twig seemed like a sharp weapon.

Capable of easily piercing the enemy’s body.

This Martial Spirit is tough to contend with.

For a moment, the inside and outside of the arena fell silent.

As if they were aware that an exciting battle was underway, everyone began to focus intently, not wanting to miss any detail.

On the arena, two entirely different styles of aura faced off in the sky.

A sharp sword Qi.

A vast powerful energy.

Suddenly, the two auras became fervent, thrilled.

Then, everyone felt a blur before their eyes, as the two closely watched figures on the stage moved away toward each other.

Boom!

In just an instant, the two weapons clashed explosively in the center of the arena.

Terrifying energy spread out, creating resonant booms.

In the audience, many could only see two blurred figures darting on the stage.

They could only tell which was Ling Xiao and which was Liu Yan based on colors.

Liu Yan was the white figure.

Ling Xiao was the blue figure wrapped in thunder and lightning.

In the continuous clash of these two figures, the terrifying strikes caused cracks to appear on the initially intact arena.

Fortunately, the arena had a strong healing function, or else it would have been completely ruined before the battle concluded.

On the battlefield, due to Ling Xiao’s cultivation level being inferior to Liu Yan’s, he initially did not engage directly.

Using his excellent body movement technique, he maneuvered around Liu Yan, occasionally delivering a trickily placed sword stroke, causing Liu Yan considerable discomfort.

Meanwhile, Liu Yan’s attacks were generally extensive.

His speed was inferior to Ling Xiao’s, so he had no choice but to do this.

However, relying on his abundant inner strength, he wasn’t afraid of wearing himself out.

Plus, because of the Willow Tree Martial Spirit, every ordinary attack he made turned into a wide-range strike, proving extremely difficult to deal with.
