Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Liu Yan slumped to his knees, staring blankly at the ground. Originally, with the Third Sect Elder’s guidance, he had recovered from the shadow of failure.

But today, Ling Xiao once again pushed him into a bottomless abyss, making him unable to extricate himself from the depths of defeat.

”Shouldn’t the judges announce the result now?”

After waiting for a long time, Ling Xiao looked toward the judges’ stand and asked coldly.

The Third Sect Elder’s face was ashen, yet he had no choice but to respond.

Liu Yan conceded, thus the duel naturally needed to be announced as over.

”In this match, Ling Xiao wins!”

”Boom!”

As the voice of the Third Sect Elder rang out, the entire square erupted in cheers like a volcanic explosion.

Ling Xiao proved himself with his own strength.

He turned the rumors that he was a fraud into a complete joke.

Countless people who had previously hated and disliked him for using Ling Xiao’s name now became his followers.

Perhaps from this battle on, Ling Xiao would truly lay his foundation in the Demon Dragon Sect.

No longer a fake, but a true young hero in many hearts.

Those who had doubts about Sect Master Chen Buyi’s judgment also completely let go of their suspicions.

Although this Sect Master had misunderstood people before, and his chosen foster sons and daughters weren’t that outstanding, this time he truly chose correctly.

Putting away the White Jade Flying Dragon Sword, Ling Xiao didn’t spare Liu Yan a single glance, and turned towards his seat.

At this moment, countless fervent eyes were fixed on him.

No longer with hatred, but admiration.

Before Ling Xiao could sit back in his seat, a group of lively and youthful girls suddenly appeared before him.

These girls were all female disciples of the Demon Dragon Sect, each one as captivating as the next.

As they saw Ling Xiao return, their eyes flashed with heart-shaped lights.

Various fragrances wafted towards Ling Xiao, making him a bit overwhelmed.

”Enough, Ling Xiao just finished his duel and is still tired, can you let him rest properly?”

Chen Luan stood out as if he were a protector of flowers, stopping the group of young girls, finally giving Ling Xiao some peace.

Being liked by so many female disciples, although not necessarily a bad thing, what Ling Xiao dreaded most were these chirping sweet voices.

Previously in the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, he seemed to have encountered similar situations, fleeing in embarrassment every time.

The grand Heavenly Emperor, actually afraid of being pursued by girls; it really sounded amusing when spoken out loud.

But he really couldn’t help it, Ling Xiao wasn’t afraid of strong opponents, just these.

”My dear disciple, do you want Master to help you find one? Watching you always single, how can you lack woman’s company?”

Chen Buyi also teased.

”Master, don’t joke with me, plus I already have someone I love dearly in my heart, unwavering for life.”

Ling Xiao thought of Yue Fang Hua, not knowing how she was now. Had she been well since returning to the Eternal Palace?

Thinking of that beloved in his heart, his determination grew even stronger.

Without enough strength, he wouldn’t even have the ability to pursue his beloved.

With his current cultivation level, if he wanted to go to the Eternal Palace, he’d likely be taken down on the way, unable to see Yue Fang Hua at all.

Suppressing his emotions, Ling Xiao re-entered meditation.

Though he had just broken through two layers, it was merely restoring his cultivation level, but he still needed to settle.

At this time, the battles in the field continued.

However, after Ling Xiao’s fight with Liu Yan, the subsequent battles seemed to fail to capture everyone’s interest.

In fact, Ling Xiao carried out many battles afterward, but his opponents were mostly defeated in one move, making the scenes extremely dull.

This left the audience unsatisfied.

Opponents of Alexander Yin Mountain and the Red Demoness almost completely forfeited.

Yet, they still haven’t faced off against Ling Xiao.

Clearly, in the following arrangements, the top ten mid-level disciples would not face one another, in order to protect the outstanding martial artists.

Eventually, through numerous matches, thirty candidates were chosen.

The selection had already lasted for three days.

Ling Xiao’s cultivation secretly advanced to the Tenth-layer Hell’s Peak, and his energy was almost entirely full.

But now he needed a battle that was challenging.

Ordinary opponents could no longer spur his breakthroughs.

And this opportunity was fast approaching.

The high-ranking substitutes only needed ten people, but with thirty remaining, it meant there were more duels to come.

On the fourth day, thirty people who survived the selection came to a larger venue.

This place was on the wasteland outside Demon Dragon City.

The wasteland only had a foot-long patch of weeds and nothing else.

Even Monster Beasts were all driven away.

This huge venue, covering a thousand acres, was where the final duel would be held.

On this day, countless people poured into the wasteland.

Apart from mid-level disciples, there were even a few high-ranking disciples.

They all came to watch this duel.

Actually, most people knew how the final duel would go, as this is how high-ranking substitute selection had always been conducted.

All thirty people would be thrown onto the wasteland, then a certain range would be designated, where a grand battle royal would commence.

The ranking would be decided based on the order of elimination.

For instance, the last to be eliminated would be considered first.

And so on.

In previous selections, Ling Xiao, Alexander Yin Mountain, and the Red Demoness had all displayed very strong combat power.

Besides these three, seven others also showed exceptional skills, all having reached the Hell Cultivation level.

Thus, these ten became the focal point in everyone’s mind.

Especially Ling Xiao, whose cultivation wasn’t as high as the other nine, and due to some reasons, he seemed to be envied frantically by many opponents.

Whether it’s the identity of the Sect Master’s closed-door disciple,

or being adored by the female disciples of the Demon Dragon Sect.

All made Ling Xiao the target of all.

Ling Xiao even suspected that this so-called battle royale would turn into a one-man versus thirty battle.

However, even in the most troublesome scenario, his real opponents were only around ten people; the others were nothing to worry about because those people might not even be a match for his Celestial Thunder Divine Guard.

When Ling Xiao, Chen Buyi, and Chen Luan arrived at the wasteland, they discovered it was surrounded tightly, with no way to enter.

Fortunately, the Demon Dragon Sect’s organizational skills were good, they specially opened a path for the participants, allowing him to get in and sit in the pre-arranged seats.

Yet the raucous cheers and the constant sound of discussions shocked Ling Xiao somewhat.

The Demon Dragon Sect’s power is truly considerable.

Perhaps there are tens of thousands of onlookers this time; it makes you wonder if these people have nothing to do all day.
