That youth suddenly shifted left of Ling Xiao using a strange movement technique before swinging that strange blade.
At such a small distance, that strange blade instantly tore through the air.
Because of the friction, the air’s temperature suddenly rose, producing a fiery light.
Even with true essence protection, one might be cut into two pieces by this slash.
Clang!
What surprised everyone was that facing such a sudden move, Ling Xiao didn’t flinch. He didn’t even look before punching left to accurately collide with that strange blade.
This punch glittered as if his hand were wrapped in gold due to the cooperation of <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> and <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>.
The violent impact almost made that strange blade fly out of that spiritless youth’s hand.
This time, he was truly surprised.
The strange blade was a common-grade treasured artifact that had utilized his powerful true essence and a Superior Peak Martial Art, yet he was still unable to compete with an Advanced Martial Art?
What kind of joke was this?
“Scram!”
After knocking away that strange blade with his left hand, the golden light around Ling Xiao grew even more dazzling as he vaguely resembled a dragon soaring through the sky.
He turned around and punched with his right hand, making the air crack.
Bang, bang, bang…
Ren Race’s Secret Technique——Body Protection Technique.
Seeing he couldn’t dodge, the phantom behind that youth moved in front of him as he poured true essence into it to form a defensive barrier.
However, this Heavenly Ren Academy genius had obviously underestimated the might of Ling Xiao’s punches.
After blocking a few punches, that phantom instantly exploded, and that youth was forced to retreat. He hastily dodged and somehow was not sent flying.
General Ninth Month wore a look of surprise before a bright smile appeared on his face.
Honestly speaking, he had truly worried about Ling Xiao, fearing that Ling Xiao would suffer losses in the hands of this spiritless youth.
After all, the other party had a cultivation base of Late Rank Seven Martial Vein, whereas Ling Xiao’s cultivation base was Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein.
He now felt that his worries were completely unnecessary.
Ling Xiao hadn’t appeared to use even 50% of his power, but his opponent had still retreated. This boy was too terrifying.
Now, he finally understood: Ling Xiao’s most terrifying aspect was not his strength but rather his combat experience.
When fighting, Ling Xiao seemed to have calculated everything: his opponent’s weaknesses, the best times to attack, the best moves, and so on.
This made Ling Xiao accomplish things that normally required 80 or even 90% of his power with only 50%/
In any case, he, General Ninth Month, had seen no one else like this in the world.
No one among the Twelve Tiger Guards could do this, not even Commander Lin. Wan Ben was the same, and no one in Heavenly Ren Academy could do it either.
Naturally, this young genius of Heavenly Ren Academy was not weak. He also had yet to use his full strength, so the following battle might be even more interesting.
General Ninth Moon smiled and suddenly had full confidence in Ling Xiao.
“Hee hee, Senior Apprentice Brother, if you don’t go all out, you might lose.”
The lively girl shouted at the spiritless youth with a grin.
That spiritless youth was obviously stimulated. With a “bang”, he stomped on the ground and stopped retreating.
A few cracks appeared.
The poor ground of the Hidden Dragon Battalion was riddled with holes and cracks after every battle. Perhaps, because of this, the place was relatively barren and simple.
“Ling Xiao! You are indeed powerful. You are qualified to make me use my full power!”
After speaking, black flames appeared around this young genius, and the wind blowing from his side suddenly heated.
The phantom behind him grew more solid as its expression turned ferocious with black flames burning around it. Afterward, the youth grabbed the strange sword with both his hands.
The black flames spread from his hands onto that strange blade. That strange blade flame chilled people, and the onlooking disciples’ gang qi and true essence grew chaotic.
“Black Sun Judgement!”
That youth roared and slashed at Ling Xiao together with his ren spirit.
The two strange blades fused into one huge blade made of true essence and black flame more than ten meters long.
It chopped down towards Ling Xiao.
The strange blade’s speed was too fast, and its might was too fierce. It almost tore space and completely burt the air.
Crackle, crackle! It was a sound that resembled a colassal forest fire.
“Hee hee, Senior Apprentice Brother finally got serious. The opponent can neither stop nor dodge it. He’ll lose for sure!”
The lively girl smiled at that fat youth as her originally tense expression loosened.
“Mmm.”
The fat youth simply nodded. He was the one who most understood the might of this move. Even in Heavenly Ren Academy, only a few could take it.
At this moment, General Ninth Month’s originally relaxed complexion became tense once more.
The might of this young genius’s move was beyond his expectations, equalling a Quasi-Transcendent Martial Art.
Ling Xiao had not yet cultivated any Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts, so facing this move, he would suffer losses.
Moreover, his cultivation base was also inferior; the situation was truly not optimistic.
“General Ninth Month, why are you worried? Junior Apprentice Brother will definitely win. Although that Heavenly Ren Academy young genius is powerful, he is not worth mentioning in front of Junior Apprentice Brother.”
Ling Yixue’s voice resounded in General Ninth Month’s ears.
“You sure are confident.”
General Ninth Month couldn’t help but wryly smile. He truly didn’t know where Ling Yixue’s confidence came from.
It must be her prejudice.
After all, both Ling Yixue and Ling Xiao were from Heavenly Peak City and seemed to be closely related.
Naturally, he also hoped that Ling Xiao would win. Like that, the Hidden Dragon Battalion would be able to vent their previous frustrations.
“Die!”
Heavenly Ren Academy’s young genius poured practically all his true essence into this terrifying move, so his face turned pale.
However, he didn’t regret it because he knew the might of this move.
The moment that strange blade was about to hit him, Ling Xiao actually smiled.
“Such a move is enough to test it.”
It was not that he was arrogant; he truly needed such a powerful move to test his golden body’s defense.
Roar~~
A dragon roar resounded as the golden light around him became even more dazzling. Even the Black Bear Incomplete Soul behind him was completely wrapped in golden light.
General Ninth Month exclaimed inwardly: “No! Can it be that this boy has already cultivated <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> successfully?
