His current Barbarian Bull Strength had already escaped the shackles of basic martial arts. Exceeding the sublimity realm, it had entered a realm that no one else had ever touched.
Ling Xiao named this realm the “Soul Realm.”
As this name suggested, it was a realm where one merged soul power with techniques.
Its power had long surpassed advanced martial arts, and it was now comparable to Entry-level Peak Martial Arts.
“Eh?”
Lin Ze exclaimed upon seeing this scene.
He had never expected for Ling Xiao’s understanding of a martial art to reach such a level.
Even in ancient times, only a few could ever cultivate a martial art to the sublimity realm. As for entering this unknown realm, it was unprecedented.
This child’s comprehension was too amazing.
Although he was surprised, Lin Ze didn’t immediately desire to have this boy join his side. After all, a technique’s realm was one thing and its power another.
He wanted to see what Ling Xiao’s seemingly casual fist could achieve.
“Mo——!”
The barbarian bull roared.
Ling Xiao’s barbarian bull gang qi shell rushed towards Wan Renwang.
Wan Renwang sneered. “Ling Xiao, aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself? Creating your own martial arts? Even a Martial Master wouldn’t dare to do this!”
Although he saw that Ling Xiao’s punch was somewhat special, he didn’t take it seriously.
Merely, since he had learned a lesson from his defeat against Ling Yixue, he subconsciously strengthened his defense.
He waved his hands, and a shield of gang qi appeared in front of him.
“Vajra Shield!”
“That should be a Rare Peak Martial Art; moreover, it’s a pure defensive martial art. How can a basic martial art breakthrough this defense?”
The martial artists watching this battle thought.
Ling Feifan snorted with disdain: “Idiot, do you think that you are still within the Ling Clan? Do you truly want to use a basic martial art to dominate others?”
“Bang!”
Ling Xiao’s fist landed on the Vajra Shield, and sure enough, it could not advance even an inch.
“Beautiful!”
A loud voice in the vicinity of the stage surprised everyone.
The spectators were about to curse that stupid fool. How could anyone call this beautiful?
But upon looking over, they were dumbfounded.
The owner of that voice was none other than Lin Ze.
At this moment, everyone swallowed the words that had reached the tips of their tongues.
Nevertheless, they still didn’t understand: Wan Renwang had clearly blocked this move, so why was Lin Ze saying this?
He couldn’t be praising Wan Renwang, could he?
After all, Lin Ze didn’t have any good relations with Wan Renwang.
“Puff——!”
Just as everyone was trying to figure it out, Wan Renwang suddenly opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood before turning listless.
“This! What’s going on here?”
This scene dumbfounded all the martial artists with weak insight.
“General, forgive this subordinate for being stupid, but what happened just now? Was Wan Renwang previously injured by Ling Yixue?”
Lin Chen asked in confusion.
“Don’t you feel it? Ling Xiao’s fist: the scariest part was actually a soul attack!”
Lin Ze answered with a smile. “Genius, truly a genius! Little brother, it looks like this general was blind to not recognize jade! Your talent is far better than anyone else here, including this General!”
This evaluation was too high.
One must know that Lin Ze had broken through to Rank Nine Martial Vein at the age of 30, opening all nine of his martial veins.
If Ling Xiao’s talent was better than his, wouldn’t that mean that Ling Xiao would definitely break through Rank Nine Martial Vein before 30?
“The general is flattering me!”
Ling Xiao cupped his hands and said with a smile.
This attack on Wan Renwang had just been a test. Honestly speaking, he hadn’t expected Wan Renwang to vomit blood from one hit.
He still had a lot more moves to test.
For instance, a soul attack integrated into <Meteorite Fist> and <Duplicate Shadow Sword Technique>.
Furthermore, he had not even displayed his martial souls.
Would it end like this?
“No, no, no! It’s not flattery! This General is not lying! You are indeed the most talented Martial Disciple I have ever seen!”
Lin Ze rushed over with excitement, stretched out his hand to pat Ling Xiao’s shoulder.
Is he a genius?
Then what am I?
Although Wan Renwang had vomited blood, he was not seriously injured.
After all, he was still a Peak Rank Six Martial Vein martial artist. Although his soul was injured, and he felt very uncomfortable, he temporarily forgot his soul’s pain due to his shame.
“Ling Xiao, if you are willing to join the Side General Residence, we will treat each other as friends.”
Lin Ze said to Ling Xiao.
His attitude was like he were talking to an old friend he had not seen for many years.
His words shocked all the martial artists present once more.
“General, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
Even Lin Chen was a bit envious.
After all, he had followed Lin Ze for a long time, but he was regarded as an apprentice at vest. However, Ling Xiao had just met Lin Ze and was already regarded as a life-long friend.
It would be strange if he weren’t jealous.
“Lin Chen, you know me? Do I have to explain this matter to you?”
Lin Ze glanced at Lin Chen indifferently.
Nevertheless, these words instantly awakened Lin Chen like the evening drum and morning bell.
Although Ling Xiao was young, his talent was amazing. Sooner or later, he would be a martial artist who would shock White Cloud Capital, Northern Han Country, and even the entire Human Race’s sacred dynasty.
Was there anything wrong with making friends with such a person?
Although Lin Ze was a high-ranking General and a Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein great expert, he had great insight.
He could clearly see Ling Xiao’s terrifying future prospects.
“Honored General’s kind thoughts, this Ling Xiao is ashamed and dares not to accept!”
Ling Xiao remaiend modest. Although his potential was good, potential was just potential. Before potential turned into strength, he could not act too proud and conceited.
“What is there to not dare to accept? Hereafter, you, Ling Xiao, are my, Lin Ze’s, friend. If anyone dares to make a move on you, then I, Lin Ze, will not let him off!”
Lin Ze patted Ling Xiao’s back and laughed in happiness.
He had searched for so many years but never found a suitable inheritor. Now that he had finally met one, how could he not be happy?
“Well, in that case, this Ling Xiao will also not refuse anymore.”
Once was being humble, twice was not giving the other party face.
Since Lin Ze, a Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein martial artist, was willing to make friends with him, how could he not be happy?
Besides, Ling Xiao was truly willing to be friends with Lin Ze because he greatly admired this Lord General.
“Junior Apprentice Brother, it truly was a correct decision for us to come to Dragon Gate Port this time.”
Ling Yixue showed a smile that was even more beautiful than a winter plum blossom, almost making the martial artists present faint on the spot.
Seeing Ling Yixue’s smile and Lin Ze’s attitude, Lin Feifan was unable to tolerate it.
Wan Renwang on the stage also gritted his teeth.
“Oh, that’s right, Ling Xiao! I have yet to formally invite you to join my Side General Residence: are you willing?”
In fact, Lin Ze didn’t have to ask this.
Because he was Side General!
And a Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein martial artist!
He didn’t need to give Ling Xiao face!
However, he still asked because he truly regarded Ling Xiao as his friend and successor.
