Before, General Ninth Month had guessed that Ling Xiao had cultivated <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> in the Treasure Pavilion, but how difficult was it to study Transcendent Martial Arts?
It was difficult to even get started.
Therefore, he had never expected Ling Xiao to cultivate it to this extent in such a short time.
At this moment, he seemed to have already reached the small success realm.
However, no one could confirm this for him.
Huge bear paws merged with Ling Xiao’s palms. The palms condensed into an almost physical presence as they received that huge strange blade.
Boom!
The huge bearpaws and huge strange blade collided, and that strange blade was actually clamped firmly between the palms.
“Bare hands stopping a sword?”
“This can be done?”
Boom!
Just when everybody was commenting in excitement, those huge bear paws suddenly moved sideways and shattered that blade. That Heavenly Ren Academy young genius vomited blood and fell to the ground.
“In fact, I didn’t even need to take this move head-on because your move was flash without substance. Attractive but useless.”
Ling Xiao indifferently said to the fallen youth: “The reason why I took it head-on is to show you that three or four moves would be enough to defeat you. I didn’t even need to use ten moves. I guess I thought too highly of you before.”
“You!”
That young genius tried to stand up, but hearing Ling Xiao, he was so angry that he vomited another mouthful of blood.
“The Hidden Dragon Battalion won! Hahaha, Ling Xiao, you truly gave our Hidden Dragon Battalion face, no, Side General Residence! Gave the Human Race face!”
General Ninth Month was dumbfounded before he immediately announced the results.
“Long live——!”
“Long live Leader Ling Xiao——!”
“Ling Xiao! Ling Xiao!”
Loud shouts resounded within the Hidden Dragon Battalion. At this moment, whether they liked Ling Xiao or not, everyone excitedly chanted his name.
They had been defeated enough.
They understood that it was not that Heavenly Ren Academy was terrifying but rather that they were not working hard enough.
Ling Xiao was just a newcomer who had just joined the Hidden Dragon Battalion, but he had achieved today relying solely on his own ability.
Was there any reason to avoid work?
Was there any reason to blame gods or men?
“You three, what about the rewards?”
General Ninth Month asked Heavenly Ren Academy’s three geniuses with a smile.
“Humph, if you bet, you must pay. We admit that we lost. These are two copies of Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts. Take it.”
The spiritless youth handed two secret manuals from his storage ring to General Ninth Month: “However, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Quickly remember their contents because after 15 minutes, these two manuals will be automatically destroyed.”
After saying this, he turned to Ling Xiao. “I admit that you are very strong, but defeating me is nothing. The next time when you go to Heavenly Ren Academy, the opponents you will encounter will be even stronger. Compared to our Heavenly Ren Academy’s real geniuses, you are still far away.”
Then, he turned around and left with that young girl and fat youth.
“Ling Xiao, you have a good memory. You should remember the contents of these books first before passing one to Ling Yixue.”
General Ninth Month hastily handed Ling Xiao two Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts.
Ling Xiao nodded and flipped through the books, making two copies appear in the Landscape Martial World.
“Both are internal core laws?”
Ling Xiao frowned. “General Ninth Month, these books seem to have problems. The key points are altered.”
“That’s normal.”
General Ninth Month sighed: “Although it is stipulated that the manuals cannot be drastically altered, some changes in key points are allowed. We did the same before; therefore, it depends on your own ability whether you can cultivate them or not.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Ling Xiao nodded.
In fact, this could be a headache for other people, but it was nothing for him.
His Landscape Martial Soul could completely analyze and deduce these kinds of Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts that had only modified a few key points.
“Understood? Are you not going to give them to me and let Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Masters help deduce them?”
General Ninth Month asked in confusion.
“How long would it take?”
Ling Xiao asked.
“At least a month.”
General Ninth Month thought for a bit before replying.
“Then, that’s not necessary.”
Ling Xiao thought, “My Landscape Martial Soul can completely deduce them in a few minutes.”
“Not necessary? Are you sure?”
“Sure, 100% sure!”
After speaking, Ling Xiao returned to his courtyard with Ling Yixue and Leng Mei.
“You two, do whatever you please. I’m going to comprehend these Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts.”
Ling Xiao entered the training room.
The two Quasi-Transcendent Martial Arts were <Soul Burning Formula> and <Snow Lotus True Solution>. Although both were internal core laws, they had big differences.
<Snow Lotus True Solution> was actually the advanced version of <Snow Lotus Qi Formula>.
Thinking about it, <Snow Lotus Sword Art> was a Transcendent Sword Art while <Snow Lotus Qi Formula> was just a Peak Martial Art, so it could be guessed that <Snow Lotus True Solution> also had an advanced version at the Transcendent Martial Art level.
However, Ling Xiao was content with this Quasi-Transcendent Internal Core Law.
Since it was a Quasi-Transcendent Martial Art, it naturally had its own superior aspects.
The exceptional point of this <Snow Lotus True Solution> was that it could completely use foundations cultivated with <Snow Lotus Qi Formula>, so when Ling Xiao cultivated it, he would get twice the results with half the effort.
Furthermore, true essence condensed through this internal core law possessed a powerful cold attribute, but the even more frightening thing was that it could also change an opponent’s true essence attribute.
At first glance, that didn’t seem very useful, but if an opponent were skilled with fire attributed true essence or some other attribute, their martial skills would naturally match these attributes.
Imagine, Raging Flames Palm being used, but with cold-attributed true essence instead. Would that Raging Flames Palm still have any power?
Naturally, this change was gradual, and it was impossible to completely change an opponent’s true essence attribute immediately, so it would gradually weaken an opponent’s attacks.
Coordinating it with the Landscape Martial Soul’s ability to absorb true essence, any opponent would definitely suffer a big hidden loss.
<Soul Burning Formula> was also very interesting. Rather than saying it was an internal core law, it would be better to call it a merit law that used soul power as true essence.
Naturally, it also increased his soul power and seemed tailor-made for Ling Yixue.
Ling Yixue’s true essence level was inferior to many, even some same realm martial artists, because she was a person of the Soul Race.
However, after obtaining <Soul Burning Formula>, she wouldn’t need to condense true essence anymore and could use soul power to power her martial skills.
How powerful was Ling Yixue’s soul power? Even Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Masters might be inferior to her. If she truly cultivated <Soul Burning Formula>, her strength would increase by not just one grade.
Naturally, Ling Xiao could also cultivate this <Soul Burning Formula>.
